51956Sir,said Mason, when the Virginian had seated himself,"which do you seek to evade, punishment or dishonor?"
51956Sir,said he"to what difficulty am I indebted for this honor?"
51956Sir,said the New Yorker,"have you received a sealed package from the Adams Express Company consigned to one Camden Gerard?"

51956Will you be quiet?
51956Would I be here in the office at two o''clock in the morning, with a detective and without a reason? 51956 Wrong?"
51956Yes; you mean the old ghost with the thin, melancholy face?
51956You do n''t reckon,said the farmer,"that the jedge will give the old colonel any show, do you?"
51956You have not?
51956You,said Mason to the old man,"what is your name?"
51956Your enemy?
51956And how?
51956And then, if they would listen to explanation, what explanation was there to make?
51956Are not the bloody knife, the bloody dress, the bloody clothes of the prisoner, unimpeachable witnesses to the criminal act?
51956Are you going to say that the crime of embezzlement is a dead letter?"
51956Are you ready to bear the brunt of this battle?"
51956But suppose I had rather concluded to break with your driver at the station?
51956Ca n''t I have him arrested, sir?"
51956Can it be said that, in order to evade punishment, the murderer has only to hide or destroy the body of the victim, or sink it into the sea?

51956Did n''t you know about it?
51956Did not the cursed thing go into the hands of a receiver the very moment we had gotten the stock cornered?
51956Did not the tools stick in both test wells within fifty feet of the sand, and all the saints could not remove them?
51956Do n''t you remember how it helped Barton Woodlas rob our father in that shoe trust at Lynn?
51956Do you hear me?
51956Do you hear me?
51956Do you hear me?
51956Do you understand me?"
51956Does any one doubt it in this case?
51956Had he not been selected by the great firm of Bartholdi& Banks to counsel with one who, he strongly suspected, was the private agent of princes?
51956He turned slowly to the cashier:"What became of that money?"
51956How could the dead masters lay down rules by which you could be beaten, sir?
51956How could we buy a house?"
51956How in God''s name did you know it?
51956How in Satan''s name do you figure it out?"
51956How much money have you?"
51956How your enemy?"
51956I did both, now what is to be done?"
51956Is that enough?"
51956Is there anything wrong?"
51956It is now near twelve; you will come with me to lunch at the club?"
51956May I inquire what motive prompts this gracious courtesy?"
51956Now listen, since the thing is a cutthroat game, why not have our share of the spoil?"
51956Now, do you understand me?"
51956Now, how should it happen that he had drawn the money in his own name almost immediately upon his arrival in New York?
51956Now, where can you get them quickest?"
51956Now,"said Parks, rising from his chair,"what are you going to do?"
51956PARKS,"said Randolph Mason,"has Leslie Wilder a country place on the Hudson?"
51956Parks,"said Randolph Mason, taking off his great- coat in the private office,"who wanted to see me at this unusual hour?"
51956She trap you?"
51956Then he looked up, and said,"Brother, do you remember the little bald- headed man who stopped us on the steps of the Stock Exchange last week?"
51956Then the Police Chief took some cigars from his pocket, gave one to the sergeant, and offering them to Barker said,"Will you smoke, sir?"
51956Was he simply making shrewd guesses, or had he some mysterious knowledge of this matter?
51956What am I to do?"
51956What are you doing out here?"
51956What authorities were cited?"
51956What could the highwayman possibly mean by this queer move?
51956What did this strange man know?
51956What does the responsibility matter, provided the burden of loss can be placed upon other shoulders?
51956What is to become of you?"
51956What is wrong here, Carper?"
51956What other thing could he do?
51956What others are involved in your matter?"
51956What''s up?"
51956When did he come back to the States?"
51956Which is gone, your girl or your job?"
51956Why do you come back with your petty matters?"
51956Why not turn this idea of Mr. Mason to account?
51956Will you come with me?"
51956Will you go with me to- morrow morning?"
51956Wo n''t the Governor turn me over to them?"
51956You will see to it, Chief?"
51956]_ I. I AM tired of your devilish hints, why ca n''t you come out with it, man?"
51956almost screamed young Harris, bounding to his feet,"how?"
51956cried Gerard,"only thirty- five hundred dollars for this necklace?
51956cried Mason, turning upon him,"you dared to change my plans?"
51956cried Montcure, starting up,"You sold him a residence to- day?
51956cried the Police Chief savagely,"do you mean that we are fooled?"
51956he said,"the gentleman bases his motion on a failure to establish the_ corpus delicti?_ Does he jest, or has he forgotten the evidence?
51956he said,"the gentleman bases his motion on a failure to establish the_ corpus delicti?_ Does he jest, or has he forgotten the evidence?
51956said the Police Chief, wearily,"is there no way to get at him, ca n''t we railroad him before a jury?"
51956shouted Woodlas,"what security have I but the mortgage?
51956wailed the little fat man,"is there no law to keep me from being ruined?
21824''But who did go into that room?'' 21824 ''Has the letter been taken?''
21824''What do you mean?'' 21824 Am I a man?"
21824And Mrs. Couldock and Miss Dawes?
21824And Mrs. Walworth? 21824 And do you mean to say that you had not touched it since I prepared it?"
21824And now,he asked,"who is the man?"
21824And that no one else has been in the room?
21824And the man who stood guardian over you and entertained you with wine and cigars, was not he a German too?
21824And what is it that awaits him?
21824And who are you?
21824And who is the fortunate lady?
21824Are you not coming?
21824Are you punishing me? 21824 At what time does this steamer start?"
21824But have I not already promised?
21824But what is the use of plaguing myself with riddles?
21824But,I exclaimed, aghast,"if you love him so and despise the Colonel, why do you not break your troth with the latter?"
21824Can you assure me that you have not been asleep during this time?
21824Can you make him speak?
21824Deal punishment?
21824Did Mr. Taylor say I was there?
21824Did you hand the glass yourself to Addie?
21824Do the heavens bid me?
21824Does she know he is going? 21824 Have you never had a conviction yourself as to which of the three ladies you saw go into the parlor took the letter I left hid in the Bible?"
21824Have you the letter?
21824Her folly? 21824 I am a servant in the house where she was taken ill.""Then she is not at home?"
21824I betray you?
21824I know it,was his half- muttered retort,"but what can you expect?
21824Is Mrs. Warner here?
21824Is it he?
21824Must you know all that goes on in my mind, and can not I keep one secret to myself?
21824No banisters, sweet Juliet? 21824 Not for the purpose of rearranging a veil that had been blown off?"
21824Oh,cried Juliet, as the door closed behind them,"can he mean it?
21824Poison myself?
21824She had her voice then?
21824The third person?
21824Was the man who came for you a German?
21824What do you mean by keeping me in this place against my will? 21824 What do you mean by that word?"
21824What do you mean?
21824What has the Colonel to do with me?
21824What is it?
21824What makes you think that?
21824What man?
21824Where did you take it from?
21824Who is there of worth in town?
21824Who knows,he suggested,"that it was Orrin''s hand which handled the saw?"
21824Whose step is that?
21824Why, Dick,he exclaimed,"are n''t you going after all?
21824Why?
21824Why?
21824Will the Colonel go with you?
21824Will you come?
21824Will you not step out, Mistress Juliet?
21824Will you not take a cigar?
21824You believe,said he,"that she, the woman I am about to marry, is the one who wrote you that infamous letter?"
21824You do not drink wine?
21824You do not mean yourself?
21824You know her, of course?
21824You remember now?
21824You think she got some one to write it for her?
21824Your worship?
21824***** Am I always with Orrin when he is not at work or asleep?
21824***** And what if it is?
21824***** Have I lost Dora?
21824***** What is there about the Colonel that daunts me?
21824***** What was it that I said about this record being at an end?
21824***** Where does the Colonel go evenings?
21824***** Where have I been?
21824***** Where is Orrin, and what is he doing that he stays so much from home?
21824***** Will Juliet be at home to- day?
21824And the Colonel?
21824And this dining- parlor-- Can you judge of it with the floor half laid and its wainscoting unnailed?
21824And what had produced this change in my plans?
21824And where did we finally lay her?
21824And yet, if she did not take away that letter, who did?
21824Are you not then the man?"
21824But can you leave your patients?"
21824But he stopped and gave me a keen look, and speaking my name, said:"You are married, are you not?"
21824But how to make known my wishes even if there was any one to listen to them?
21824But perhaps it was to mock us?
21824But perhaps you smoke?"
21824But they would have me talk, and finally in some desperation I turned to him and said, quietly:"The scaffolding broke beneath them, did it not?"
21824But was he as complacent to Orrin?
21824Can a woman be too pretty for her own happiness, and are many lovers a weariness to the heart?
21824Can he mean it?"
21824Coming away from the house instead of going to it?
21824Dayton?"
21824Dear girl, she is quite well, I hope?"
21824Did he follow behind us?
21824Did he intend to give up his betrothed to the man whom she loved, and even to plead her cause with the father she feared?
21824Did he simply want to detain me, and if so, did he have a motive it would pay me to fathom before I exerted myself further to insure my release?
21824Did she do this to mock us or him?
21824Did she encourage him?"
21824Did you see him murder her?
21824Did you suppose he would allow us the satisfaction of going alone?
21824Do I understand her, or do I understand Orrin, or do I even understand myself?
21824Do the trees come too near the lattice?
21824Do you admire this sweep to the stairs?
21824Do you like this fireplace, and will there be space enough here for the portrait which Lawrence has promised to make of young Madam Day?
21824Do you think I will see him steal her heart away from before my eyes?"
21824Does Juliet care for Colonel Schuyler?
21824Does Orrin know this?
21824Does he realize, too, that I am any more to her than her other cast- off lovers and would- be friends?
21824Going straight up to him, I said:"Well, Orrin, what''s this?
21824Had I expected to?
21824Had she touched me?
21824Had the carriage then taken away the two persons I had seen in this house, and was I indeed alone in its great emptiness?
21824Have some whispers of his secret love and evident intentions reached the ear of the Colonel?
21824Have you a home for your bride in which I may look forward to paying her the respects which my humble duty to her demands?"
21824Have you no mercy on a man who never did you wrong, and only asks to quit you and forget the precious hour you have made him lose?"
21824He fascinates me, and could make me do most anything he pleased, but have I a real affection for him?
21824He must be mad; nothing else but mania could account for such words and such actions; and yet, if mad, why was he allowed to enter my presence?
21824Her father is set on her being the mistress of the new stone house and we three will have to reason with him, do you see?"
21824How did he know my name?
21824How was that matter to be elucidated, and how was my patient to be saved?
21824I cried,"do you want me to go to her house for you, or do you want me to stay away?"
21824I had already called in vain, and there was no bell-- yes, there was; why had I not seen it before?
21824I say_ man_, but do I not mean_ woman_?
21824I wonder if the Colonel knows that Orrin too has been building himself a house?
21824If Mr. Adams is not to blame for this attempted escapade, who is?
21824In return, will you tell me if there is any one in the world whom you can call your enemy?
21824Instantly the Colonel took advantage of the break and spoke to Orrin:"And so it is to you, sir, that I have to address the few words I have to say?"
21824Is he indifferent then?
21824Is not that pleasant?
21824Is she not happy in her betrothal, or are her fears of Orrin greater than her confidence in me?
21824Is that why I am here?"
21824Is the curiosity of my youth coming back to me?
21824Is this a healthy occupation for a man, especially a man with a history?
21824It must have been five minutes before either of us spoke; then he suddenly cried:"Where is that detective, as you call him?
21824It was merry laughter, and there was no ring of falsehood in it, but why should she laugh at all?"
21824It would be a fitting end to this comedy if he were to dance in_ that_?"
21824Look up at the house; what do you see there?"
21824May I ask if you can do as much for her?
21824Miss Dawes?
21824Mrs. Couldock?
21824Mrs. Walworth?
21824Must I then forever blame myself, or did I only do in this matter what any honest man would have done in my place?
21824Now Mrs. Walworth does that, and--""You have seen her?
21824O woman, woman, what are you made of?
21824Or is Juliet''s father alone concerned?
21824Orrin was right, she never will; but who could have thought of a tragedy like this?
21824Otherwise how can I go away?
21824Otherwise--""She will get well?"
21824Ought I to say:"Your sullenness is uncalled for and your fierceness misplaced; Juliet is constant, and the Colonel means you nothing but good"?
21824Ought I to tell him this?
21824Poor, poor Juliet, are you making enemies against your bridal day?
21824SHALL HE WED HER?
21824Scared off by a frown?
21824Should I let such an interference as I had received go unpunished?
21824Should I permit him to go thus disordered, or should I detain him long enough to fit him for the eye of the dainty Juliet?
21824Still, am I not her sworn friend, and if she thinks she can be happy with him, ought I not to do my share towards making her so?
21824THE OLD STONE HOUSE A MEMORABLE NIGHT THE BLACK CROSS A MYSTERIOUS CASE SHALL HE WED HER?
21824That she would never be mistress of that house?
21824The fact is, Dick, she still holds a soft place in her heart for you, and if you were going to be of the party--""Well?"
21824The steamer sails at nine?"
21824Then with a deep and thrilling intensity which I feel yet, he repeated,"His name, his name?
21824This was a question I could not answer; who could?
21824Up- stairs?
21824Walworth?"
21824Walworth?"
21824Was I the victim of a conspiracy, or was the man mad?
21824Was I then not alone in the deserted building?
21824Was any one more wretched than I that morning and could any one nourish a more bitter grievance?
21824Was he alone?
21824Was he so great- hearted as this?
21824Was it a mere foolish freak which had assailed me, or was I under some uncanny influence, caught from the place where I had been visiting?
21824Was it fancy that made her look like a wraith, and he like some handsome demon given to haunting churchyards?
21824Was there a crime enacted before your eyes?"
21824Was there some solitary being who laid claim to its desolation and betrayed jealousy at any intrusion within its mysterious precincts?
21824What did I see?
21824What did Orrin tell me?
21824What did it mean?
21824What did it mean?
21824What do you want me to do?"
21824What ever shall I do with him and his everlasting manuscript?
21824What have I seen, and what do the events of this night portend?
21824What should I do, and with what weapons should I combat a danger at once so subtle and so deadly?
21824What was it?
21824When I came away I felt that I had gained nothing, and lost-- what?
21824Where is the Colonel, and why does he not come home and look after his own?
21824Where then?
21824Where''s your pluck, lad?
21824Who had done it?
21824Who had started the blaze which had in one half- hour undone the work and hope of months?
21824Who should tell her father?
21824Why choose me out then for-- your society?
21824Why did I not go home?
21824Why do n''t they come?
21824Why do you ask?"
21824Why have you entrapped me into this place?"
21824Why not choose some one who can-- talk?"
21824Why?
21824Will Juliet never be the mistress of that house?
21824Will he come down from his high estate at the beck of this village beauty?
21824Will it be a monument that he will love to gaze upon?
21824Will it be in the new stone house?
21824Will she turn her back upon the Colonel''s lofty structure and take refuge in this cottage remote from the world?
21824Will they be increased or diminished by the talk he has promised me?
21824Will you bring this fellow-- he is your friend is he not?--to Juliet''s house in the morning?
21824Will you call at Juliet''s house and see if she is free to go and come as she was a week ago?"
21824Will you not ask her the same question?"
21824Will you raise me a tomb if the Colonel runs me through with his sword?"
21824Will you sit down?
21824You can not cling to both without dishonor; does not your father tell you so?"
21824You do not like such humble flowers?
21824You do not wish to go up- stairs?
21824You remember being in---- Hotel one morning last month?"
21824You will wait, will you not, sir, till I have a little more leisure?"
21824You wo n''t object, will you?"
21824did she call him Orrin?
21824he asked,"or,"with a fall in his voice brimmed with feeling,"am I a fool?
21824she cried,"when you promise me that I shall get well?
21824she exclaimed;"and has he been bringing you that?
21824she whispered; and in a lower tone still,"What woman?"
21824thought I,"can such a face hide a selfish and intriguing heart?"
3784''You mean, how long does a lesson last?'' 3784 A telephone call late at night?"
3784All right,answered Marsh,"then you''ll be willing to help me?"
3784And this gentleman with you?
3784And what do you suppose Hunt expected to gain by kidnapping all of us?
3784And who are your friends?
3784Any luck?
3784Any news?
3784Anything I can do?
3784Are you keeping anything of special value in the house?
3784Are you thinking of bringing your theories to their attention?
3784But how did the room get in this state?
3784But what became of the body?
3784But,protested Marsh,"I thought the house was closed, and had only a caretaker, or someone like that?"
3784Ca n''t you even wait for a bite of lunch?
3784Did Mr. Merton go there then, do you know?
3784Did n''t I tell you that we heard the struggle and the shot right over our heads?
3784Did n''t it make you think?
3784Did n''t you know there was some trouble across the hall last night?
3784Did you find finger prints?
3784Do I gather from your remarks, Mr. Marsh, that you mean to imply something?
3784Do you expect your father home soon, Miss Atwood?
3784Do you feel equal to looking over that room now?
3784Do you know Mr. Marsh downstairs?
3784Do you know the way, Nels?
3784Do you mean that?
3784Do you notice that this man was stabbed, not shot?
3784Do you remember Mr. Merton, who has been reported missing?
3784Do you think it was a burglar?
3784Does the owner run this building, or has he placed an agent in charge?
3784Everything all right, Tierney?
3784For God''s sake, what''s the matter?
3784Get who?
3784Go ahead; what''s your next move?
3784Got any theories?
3784Had Tierney been so clumsy and careless as to enter the flat with muddy shoes?
3784Had you ever seen him before?
3784Has the Chief assigned you to any other case for my day off?
3784Have n''t seen or heard anybody?
3784Have the police arrived at the same conclusions?
3784Have you a card?
3784Have you been in Lincoln Park before?
3784Have you discovered anything?
3784Have you ever noticed,countered Marsh,"that what the police know usually appears in the papers?"
3784Have you fixed everything up?
3784Have you lived here long?
3784Have you lost something?
3784He travels?
3784Hold on, Tierney-- this is Morgan-- Morgan-- do you understand? 3784 How about you?"
3784How about your house?
3784How did you come to associate the name of Atwood with that apartment?
3784How did you come to connect these two men, and how did you get that inside dope on the stealing?
3784How did you fix it?
3784How did you get him?
3784How did you get in? 3784 How did you get wise?"
3784How did you know he was dead?
3784How do we know there was a murder?
3784How do you feel now, Miss Atwood?
3784How do you know all this, Nels?
3784How in thunder could you see my partner''s footsteps, as you said you did, in your apartment?
3784How is she coming on?
3784How long has he been living there?
3784How long have you been here?
3784How much of a family has he?
3784How so?
3784How the deuce did you know I was here?
3784How the devil do we know there''s been a murder?
3784How would you analyze that flattened bullet?
3784How would you like to take a little trip with me out to one of the North Shore suburbs this afternoon?
3784I presume you are working along other lines also?
3784I suppose Mr. Ames and his wife are still away?
3784I suppose your father travels for some well known St. Louis house?
3784In case of his death, Mr. Hunt, who would be his executors?
3784Is either Mr. Parker or Mr. Cole in?
3784Is that all?
3784Is that you, Sergeant? 3784 Looking up Merton?"
3784May I ask the reason for this late call?
3784May I ask your name?
3784May I come in and talk with you a few minutes?
3784May I look at it?
3784Mr. Hunt in?
3784Mr. Marsh and Mr. Ames are friends, are they not?
3784Mr. Merton''s kindness to you made an impression upon you, did it not?
3784Nels,said Marsh, stopping and facing the Swede,"you do n''t think I ought to buy that house next door, eh?"
3784Now, what can you tell me about the Marsh family, second floor north?
3784Oh, did you notice that mark?
3784On what?
3784So you think it is a bite of some kind?
3784That you, Wagner?
3784That''s all you know, is it, Nels?
3784That''s what I''m here for,and as they mounted the steps of the apartment house, he inquired,"What flat was it?"
3784Then we will start a real home together?
3784Then what?
3784Then you would naturally recollect anything of an unusual nature which might have taken place during the last few days, would you not?
3784This is your report, is n''t it, Tierney?
3784Turned the tables on you, did n''t we?
3784Was it an empty suitcase?
3784Was it that, or just a warning?
3784Was she about medium height, slender, with blonde hair and dark blue eyes?
3784Well, what ARE you tryin''to pull off?
3784Well?
3784Well?
3784Well?
3784Well?
3784Well?
3784Were you able to get it?
3784What affair is that?
3784What are you doing here?
3784What are your terms?
3784What can I do for you?
3784What can I do?
3784What do you make of it?
3784What do you mean?
3784What do you mean?
3784What do you mean?
3784What do you plan to do, then?
3784What else could it be?
3784What is it you want?
3784What is it?
3784What is the proverb?
3784What is the trouble?
3784What made you suspect it in the first place?
3784What made you think that?
3784What night was that?
3784What papers do you mean?
3784What time is it, anyway?
3784What was it?
3784What was that?
3784What would give you that impression?
3784What''s doing?
3784What''s the game?
3784What''s the use?
3784When do you expect them back?
3784Where are you going to stay tonight?
3784Where did he go?
3784Where do you get that stuff?
3784Where in blazes did your man go?
3784Where''s that guy gone to, anyway?
3784Where''s the trouble?
3784Which of us, shall tell it first?
3784Which one?
3784Who are you?
3784Who is it?
3784Who''s Ames?
3784Why did his wife go to Arizona?
3784Why did you follow Miss Atwood?
3784Why did you let that guy think he had a chance to get away, when you had the goods on him? 3784 Why did you make those breaks about your wife, and knowing Ames upstairs?"
3784Why should you take up the trail of a counterfeiter?
3784Why you?
3784Why, what has happened?
3784Will you gentlemen take chairs?
3784You are sure you did n''t have anything of value concealed in the maid''s room?
3784You are the night operator here, are you not?
3784You do n''t approve of hootch?
3784You found fingerprints?
3784You have n''t heard that Mr. Crocker sub- leased his flat?
3784You like to see dis?
3784You make a distinction, do you?
3784You mean by that that the police have not formed the same connection which you have?
3784You mean last Monday?
3784You mean the house is watched?
3784You mean the place was empty?
3784You want my husband? 3784 You''re more than commonly interested in this affair, ai n''t you?"
3784You''ve heard of me before, have you?
3784Ai n''t been just hearing things, have you, Murphy?
3784All right, what''s your price?"
3784And yet would it?
3784Are n''t you going to sleep at home?"
3784Are we spying on somebody, or is somebody spying on us?
3784Are you sure it was in this house?"
3784As they sat sipping their coffee, Marsh said,"I imagine you have seen very little of Chicago, Miss Atwood?"
3784By the way, why are you particularly interested in these families?"
3784CHAPTER XIII STARTLING DISCLOSURES"Why is it that business men, who pride themselves on their astuteness, almost invariably slip up somewhere?"
3784Can we get into the flat?"
3784Crocker?"
3784Did he drop anything about them that you did n''t think worth while putting in the report?"
3784Do you know his name?"
3784Do you know who she is?"
3784Do you want to get bumped off right now?"
3784Had the use of a hypodermic needle on this girl anything to do with the supposed tragedy across the hall?
3784Has anyone looked to see if Mr. Merton could by any chance have gone there because of illness, or for some other reason?"
3784He picked it up and read: GORDON MARSH Private Investigator Then looking at Marsh as he laid the card down, he said,"what can I do for you?"
3784Hotel rooms never do seem homelike, do they?"
3784How about you, Marsh?"
3784How could anybody sneak up behind you without your hearing them?"
3784How did it happen?"
3784How is Oak Street?"
3784How long do they teach them?''"
3784Hunt nodded in an absent- minded way and again asked,"Perhaps this man Morgan found something?"
3784Hunt remained silent for a moment, then said,"Do I understand that you are making me a proposition?"
3784Hunt?"
3784Hunt?"
3784I can not possibly understand why this should be so, but you will admit that it is a fact, wo n''t you?"
3784I presume he has given you power of attorney?"
3784If Atwood was in Chicago Tuesday morning, how did he get that letter off, so quickly?"
3784If she knew her father was a crook, and that he died to escape you, where do you think you''d get off?
3784If the shot was a mistake, could not other mistakes have also crept in?
3784If there was a murder, what became of the body?"
3784Instead she startled the two men by asking,"Did you get him?"
3784Is it not a safe bet that the person who gives me the correct information to put me on the right track, will be pretty well taken care of?"
3784Is that all?"
3784Is there anything missing as far as you know?"
3784Marsh jumped up, and holding out his hand, exclaimed boisterously,"Where have you been hiding yourself?
3784Marsh nodded, and inquired,"I suppose you follow the papers carefully every day?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Marsh?"
3784Merton?"
3784Mr. Merton has been living at the LaSalle Hotel, I understand?"
3784Now you or I have n''t seen all of the inside of Marsh''s apartment, have we?
3784Removing his hat, he asked politely,"Are you the tenant here?"
3784Send the wagon, will you?
3784So why was it there?"
3784Stepping suddenly into the room, Murphy inquired, with a note of sarcasm in his voice,"Kind of busy, ai n''t you?"
3784Suppose I come to your apartment tonight?"
3784That is a little over three months, is n''t it?"
3784The door was open and the chauffeur turned to them and said,"Say friends, will you help me get this guy out of the car?
3784The two men''s faces lighted up at sight of him, and Tierney shouted,"What did I tell you, Morgan?
3784Then Morgan asked,"What do you mean?"
3784Then he inquired,"Perhaps your father heard the disturbance?"
3784Then, as Morgan agreed to the idea, Tierney turned toward him and exclaimed,"Say, you gone crazy?"
3784Then, noticing the case on the floor beside the man, he added,"Finished your work upstairs?"
3784Therefore, he said,"Is your mother at home, Miss Atwood?"
3784To head them off quickly, is it not possible that someone left immediately for St. Louis to post that letter?"
3784Was it a burglary, a domestic row, or perhaps a murder?
3784Was it not probable that a girl like her would feel even greater grief at the knowledge that her father was a hunted criminal instead of merely dead?
3784What floor do you want?''
3784What for?"
3784What is it?"
3784What was it?"
3784What were YOU doing here?"
3784What were you doing here?"
3784What would you do?
3784When he reached the door of the room, he called,"Everything ready, George?"
3784Where''s the gang?"
3784While it was quite obvious that such was the case, Morgan opened the conversation by inquiring,"Are you the janitor of this flat house?"
3784Who lives here, anyway?"
3784Why do you suppose that fellow Hunt threw us off like that?"
3784Why?"
3784Will you come up with me while I ring the bell?"
3784Will you give me a line stating that I am authorized to represent you in this matter?"
3784Will you tell me what you think is the matter with it?"
3784You get the idea?"
3784You''d try to get that evidence, would n''t you?"
3784cried Marsh,"what has happened?"
3784exclaimed Marsh, still sitting quietly in his chair,"Where are you going?"
16051''S that you, Dorgan? 16051 A boxing- match?"
16051A crime?
16051A drug? 16051 Afraid of what?"
16051Ah, that''s different, is n''t it? 16051 Ah-- what do you think of these-- ah-- Americans?"
16051Ai n''t that like these book chaps?
16051Am I?
16051And some day will you call me Thomas?
16051And that?
16051And the thief was on board all the time?
16051Any one in mind?
16051Any poker lately?
16051Anything against the idea?
16051Anything in the way to prevent you?
16051Anything more about Mr. Crawford''s valet?
16051Are you by chance a university man?
16051Are you good at accounting?
16051Are you sure, Haggerty?
16051At what are they valued?
16051Bottle of beer? 16051 But what''s the harm in a good scrap between two husky fellows, trained to a hair to slam- bang each other?"
16051But where?
16051By the way, what''s the name of that steward who took my daughter''s sapphires?
16051Ca n''t you remember the least thing about him?
16051Can you prove it, Thomas?
16051Chauffeur, what''s your name?
16051Could you tell an honest man from a dishonest one?
16051Crawfords? 16051 Did n''t you?"
16051Do y''want t''appear against him?
16051Do you hope he''ll get away?
16051Do you intend to remain long in America-- incog?
16051Do you know any earls or dukes?
16051Do you like Americans?
16051Do you like your present occupation?
16051Do you think I ever will?
16051Does it do any good?
16051Does mother know it?
16051Does n''t Jameson take his peg a little too often, sir?
16051Doing?
16051Found anything?
16051Found whom?
16051Four thousand for half an hour?
16051Free?
16051Got your man?
16051Haggerty, suppose you and I knock the billiard balls around for half an hour?
16051Haggerty, the detective?
16051Haggerty?
16051Have you any fire- arms with you, Mort?
16051Have you ever had any contact with real poverty?
16051He said that?
16051How d''you suppose I''m going t''find out who done it, or how it was done, then?
16051How long''ll it take you?
16051How much have you offered him as a salary?
16051How old is Kitty?
16051How would you recognise him?
16051How''s th''gink in number four?
16051How?
16051Huh?
16051I?
16051If we had a lord for breakfast-- I mean, at breakfast-- would you feel at ease? 16051 Insulted Kitty?"
16051Is it not true?
16051Is it possible that it was empty, miss?
16051Kittibudget, what the deuce is all this about? 16051 Kitty Killigrew, what have you been doing?"
16051Leaving?
16051Lonesome?
16051May I ask what it is you are reading?
16051May I?
16051Miss Killigrew?
16051Molly, how long have we been married?
16051Molly, what has happened? 16051 Mr. Killigrew is in the smoking- room?"
16051Never''ll get that out o''your head, will you?
16051Picnic this afternoon; going along?
16051Pounds?
16051Remember File Number 113?
16051Robbed o''what, y''soak?
16051Roll''i m, ol''sport? 16051 Rolled?"
16051Say what?
16051See him?
16051She did?
16051Six t''ten carats? 16051 So that''s his game, huh?"
16051Social superior? 16051 Still dizzy, eh?
16051Supposing I have?
16051Sure he left this morning?
16051Temper? 16051 The boat?"
16051The sapphires? 16051 The steward?"
16051Then you believe that he is up to his old tricks again?
16051Thomas, will you go to Brazil the first week in September?
16051Thomas?
16051Valuable?
16051Webb?
16051Webb?
16051Webb?
16051Well, what does it say?
16051Well,said his wife, with an amused smile,"why do n''t you say it?"
16051Well?
16051What about?
16051What are these regular keys for?
16051What did Jameson take away from you?
16051What did she do?
16051What did you register?
16051What do you believe?
16051What has happened?
16051What have you been doing to Thomas?
16051What have you done with the romance?
16051What is it?
16051What is that to you, sir?
16051What now?
16051What now?
16051What the dickens have you been doing now? 16051 What were y''robbed of?"
16051What''s his man look like?
16051What''s th''matter?
16051What''s the row, Crawffy?
16051What, I?
16051What? 16051 What?
16051What?
16051What?
16051What?
16051Where is it, you dog? 16051 Where is it?
16051Where were the Crawfords?
16051Where were you between''leven an''twelve last night?
16051Where''s Kitty?
16051Where''s Mike''s?
16051Where''s th''phone?
16051Where''s your light?
16051Where''s your sable stole? 16051 Which key is it that unlocks a door?"
16051Which key?
16051Who are you, and what''s your business with me?
16051Who is he?
16051Who''s got th''suite across th''hall?
16051Why did n''t y''lodge a complaint against him?
16051Why did n''t you say that at once, Mr. Webb? 16051 Why should I be afraid?
16051Why, Haggerty, how are you? 16051 Why, Haggerty, what''s up?
16051Will you be so good, Miss Killigrew, as to tell me why you Americans call a palace like this-- a cottage?
16051Will you be wanting me, Miss Killigrew?
16051Will you have these reset and wear them for me?
16051Will you make it an hour and a half, sir?
16051Will you wear them?
16051Would n''t an old one do?
16051Would that make any difference with Kitty if she wanted to get out? 16051 Would you like to go to the picnic this afternoon?"
16051You accept that condition?
16051You agree with me, Molly, do n''t you, that Kitty shall marry when and where she pleases?
16051You are my steward, I believe?
16051You are wanting me, miss?
16051You decline?
16051You kissed Kitty?
16051You know where my club is, do n''t you?
16051You rang, miss?
16051You-- kissed-- Kitty?
16051Young lookin''? 16051 ''Old himself like a sojer?
16051A confederate?"
16051A good sailor?
16051A silly affectation, do n''t you think so?"
16051After all, does a Manx cat know that it is incomplete?
16051Alone?
16051Among the unanswerable questions stands prominently: Why do we laugh when a man loses his hat?
16051And it all hung by a hair: would Mason watch?
16051And on what errand?
16051And private secretary to the very person he had robbed?
16051And was he ashamed of the fact?
16051And what did they say to this scathing arraignment?
16051And what would Kitty say?
16051And where was that man Mason?
16051And why was Kitty so white?
16051Apologize?
16051Besides,"--with a nod toward the suitcases--"if you''re not the man, why this hurry?
16051But epic poetry?
16051But how was this man Jameson t''know anything about sapphires if they was n''t any?"
16051But how''ll I start her off?"
16051But why should he wish to wear that mournfully conventional suit in which we are supposed to enjoy ourselves?
16051CHAPTER XXIII"Mr. Killigrew,"whispered Haggerty,"will you get Miss Kitty an''Thomas int''th''study- end o''th''library?"
16051Ca n''t this be smoothed over some way?
16051Can I give you a lift?"
16051Caught in th''act, huh?"
16051Cigar?
16051Confusion and his cohort of synonyms( why not?)
16051Crawford?"
16051D''y''think y''could recognize him if y''saw him?"
16051Did Mr. Crawford advise you where to look for me?"
16051Did he hit you with these?"
16051Did she see but the surface of things?
16051Did y''ever hear th''likes?
16051Did you ever see such an ass, Crawford?
16051Did you notice how he smiled when he showed it to me?
16051Do n''t you get it?
16051Do you call that fire- opal a trinket?
16051Do you need any funds?"
16051Do you realize what such an action means to any young woman with pride?
16051Do you understand?
16051Do you want to risk it?"
16051Does he wish a palace, a yacht, a rare jewel?
16051For what had the man come?
16051Gone at once to New York and sent for his belongings?
16051Good heavens, do I look as if I were joking?
16051Got any witch- hazel?"
16051Got anything to do to- night?"
16051Had Thomas been a haberdasher prior to his stewardship?
16051Had n''t he and his attendants been overcome in the same manner?
16051Had not theirs always been the power behind the throne?
16051Had your breakfast?"
16051Have you got your collar up?"
16051Have you not found them so?"
16051He must leave England at once, but the question was-- How?
16051Heard o''th''Maharajah''s emeralds?"
16051How do you account for that feeling?"
16051How do you account for that?"
16051How many pounds did a dress- suit cost in this hurly- burly country?
16051How much was the ruby worth?"
16051How much?"
16051Is anything wrong?"
16051Is it generous, then, to kiss a girl without so much as by your leave?
16051It gave rise to a satirical leader on the editorial page:"What''s the matter with us republicans?
16051Keep- sakes?
16051Killigrew?"
16051Like a little money advanced?
16051Lord Monckton?
16051Lose my temper?
16051Mr. Killigrew gone to New York?"
16051Now, then, what would he, Haggerty, do if he were in Mason''s shoes?
16051Now, who the deuce is this chap Webb?
16051Now, you, what''s happened?"
16051Or was it because the wretch knew that he, Thomas, would not dare cry out over his loss?
16051Plug, is n''t that the American for it?"
16051Proof, proof; but where?
16051Red cheeks?
16051Royalties are frumps, are n''t they?
16051Say, Mr. Killigrew, any place where I could hang out down there for a couple o''days?"
16051See any one running before y''saw th''lights?"
16051She had almost said:"Thomas, what have you done with my sapphires?"
16051So that was why her coup had fallen flat?
16051So this was the weapon?
16051Some one had entered this deserted house: for what?
16051Sonnets?
16051Th''question is, did he take it from you''r you from him?
16051That you, Webb?"
16051The sea?
16051Thomas?"
16051Tummy?"
16051Two bangs all in one morning?
16051Was Haggerty after him with the third degree?
16051Was it a corner of the curtain she had been striving to look behind?
16051Was it that very nonsense he dreaded, insidiously attacking the redoubts of his common sense?
16051Was there light in the house, fluid in the wires?
16051Was there something deeper?
16051Webb?"
16051Webb?"
16051Webb?"
16051Webb?"
16051Webb?"
16051Well, if y''ever see Mason again, what''ll y''do?"
16051Were all American fathers mad?
16051Were you in this sort of business while you were serving me?"
16051What Englishman lives who does not?
16051What did it mean?
16051What do you think about it?"
16051What do you think of the idea?"
16051What do you wish to know, sir?"
16051What had alarmed him?
16051What had been the wager; and what was the meaning of the six months?
16051What had happened to the coffee market?
16051What had he wagered and lost?
16051What in heaven''s name had happened?
16051What is his name?"
16051What living mother would harbor a dream of a clerkship in a haberdasher''s shop?
16051What more did they want?
16051What shall we do?"
16051What should he do?
16051What should she do now?
16051What was all this about?
16051What was it?"
16051What was this blighter of a detective doing at the villa?
16051What was up?
16051What will you be wanting to see me about, sir?"
16051What would become of all her wonderfully maneuvered plans?
16051What would he do without Kitty?
16051What would she do?
16051What''s happened?
16051What''s on your mind tonight?"
16051What''s th''matter?"
16051What''s the matter with that word?
16051What''s the matter?
16051What''s the matter?
16051What''s the odds?
16051What''s the trouble this morning?"
16051What''s the use of giving checks to hospitals and asylums and colleges, when you do n''t know whether the cash goes right or wrong?
16051What, enter a carriage in a fog, steal a necklace, and carry it around with him for months?
16051What?
16051When do you go back?"
16051Where had he been picked up?
16051Where had she heard that voice before?
16051Where to?"
16051Where would it all end?
16051Where''s Jameson?"
16051Where''s there an apothecary''s shop?"
16051Whither should he turn?
16051Who did this?
16051Who had passed her in the upper hall?
16051Who is it?"
16051Who is it?"
16051Who was he?
16051Who was this potentate who dared desecrate the honored quiet of this loft?
16051Whoever heard of a haberdasher''s clerk reading_ Morte d''Arthur_ and writing sonnets?
16051Why had n''t he taken to his heels when he had had the chance?
16051Why had not fate left him in peace; if not satisfied with his lot, at least resigned?
16051Why had the man not returned the clothes to the trunk and shut it?
16051Why in the world should I marry a title?"
16051Why should Jameson say that he had seen sapphires if he had not?
16051Why that word?
16051Why the devil did you take up that monocle business?
16051Why was she always looking at him like that?
16051Why?
16051Will you be kind enough to let me have the use of the motor to the station?"
16051Will you be so kind as to give it to him?"
16051Would he ever return?
16051Would n''t you be watching and wondering what it was that made him your social superior?"
16051Would they never move on?
16051Would you like to read it?"
16051Yes, what did they say?
16051You are not afraid?"
16051You notice my fingers?
16051You''re on that case?"
16051Young man, what the devil''s this about?"
16051ca n''t a person be happy and smile?"
16051for everything you did for them?
16051in this fog?
16051suffer himself to be laughed at behind his back?
16051you do n''t suppose he had a hand in these other burglaries?"
18515''A man? 18515 ''Aunty of you?''
18515''Aunty of_ you_?'' 18515 ''Do you mean to tell me that a living creature with three eyes still inhabits the forests of Black Bayou?''
18515''She kill''um Three- eye?'' 18515 ''Where is them ellerphants?''
18515''Who?'' 18515 ''Why kill''um?''
18515''Why, Tiger- tail?'' 18515 ''You have killed a man who had_ three eyes_?''
18515''You say that for hundreds of years the Seminoles have hunted a creature with three eyes?'' 18515 ''_ Now?_''"''Sure!''
18515''_ Who?_''he inquired emphatically. 18515 A-- a_ minnow_--as big as a Pullman car?"
18515Afraid of Grue?
18515And he''s tearing up the carpet?
18515And how about that girl?
18515And on top of this outrage, am I to eat your cooking?
18515And what does she do then?
18515Angelica White?
18515Are they in motion?
18515Are we in any immediate danger, young man?
18515Are you certain that you have made no mistake? 18515 Are you crazy?"
18515Are you sure?
18515Are you the great Academician, Perfessor Smith?
18515Are you this here Perfessor Smith of the Department of Anthropology in the Bronx Park Zoölogical Society?
18515Believe_ me_ there''s enough in it to make it a financial coup, and I ask you, Prof, is n''t a financial coup respectable?
18515Boomly? 18515 But have you actually seen live creatures in the flames?"
18515But if her popular nature books did n''t ruin her scientifically, how can we hope to lead her astray?
18515But why has n''t she stopped our preparations?
18515Can you reconcile such a creature as we are starting out to hunt, with anything living known to science?
18515Circular?
18515Could n''t_ something_ be named after me?
18515Curiosity?
18515Darling,he said, in the imbecile voice of a man in love,"why do you tremble so when I am here to protect you?
18515Did I come here to look at this frog- pond and choke on your cooking? 18515 Did he tell you so?"
18515Did you ever see anything unusual in these forests?
18515Did you say''fat?''
18515Did you see that huge, glittering shape that seemed to fall into the water?
18515Do n''t you feel well?
18515Do they come any nearer?
18515Do you actually believe,I faltered,"that this unfortunate man has murdered Boomly?"
18515Do you admit that?
18515Do you hear what I say, guide? 18515 Do you mean, should we tell that accomplished and fascinating lady, Professor Bottomly, about this herd of mammoths?"
18515Do you realize what an astounding statement you are making?
18515Do you see anything?
18515Do you think it safe to leave Miss Grey alone in camp?
18515Do you think there is any danger?
18515Do_ you_ care, Miss Blythe?
18515Does she go with the lake or with the fish?
18515Doing what?
18515Enrages?
18515For heaven''s sake, why are you two perpetually squabbling?
18515For what?
18515From sharks?
18515Has_ she_ seen them?
18515Have you any Bimba leaves concealed about your person?
18515Have you met my husband?
18515How are we going to catch a minnow as large as a sleeping car?
18515How did you get a letter out of this distant and desolate place?
18515How did you make them talk? 18515 How do you know?"
18515How do you know?
18515How much, my confiding friend?
18515How near can we go?
18515How the devil did she come to say a thing like that?
18515How,he asked,"are we to arouse her curiosity?"
18515How?
18515I mean, which of us gets the first chance to win her?
18515If she wants all the glory herself why does she permit us to incur this expense in getting ready?
18515Is Oyster Bay_ too_ far and too cruel?
18515Is it a fish?
18515Is it a go?
18515Is it coming any nearer?
18515Is it not worth while for us to explore Black Bayou?
18515Is it possible that she is sufficiently degraded to suspect us of trying to put one over on her? 18515 Is n''t it queer,"I said,"that not a trout has splashed?
18515Is that all?
18515Is that true?
18515Is there a v- volcano under that lake?
18515It could n''t have been a f- f- fish, could it?
18515It is entirely, so to speak,_ per se_--by itself--"What the devil do you mean by that?
18515James Skaw,I said, tremulously,"where are those mammoths?"
18515Kitten,I said, my voice broken by emotion,"which will you have named after you, the lake or the fish?
18515Listen,I said, half strangled,"are you willing to wait for payment until I personally have verified the existence of these-- er-- creatures?"
18515Look like? 18515 M- ma''am?"
18515Now,I said,"what have you done with the poor victim of your fury?
18515Of course,said I with a sneer,"you have proofs to back your pleasant tale?"
18515Professor Kemper? 18515 Reaching up and biting you?"
18515Sample? 18515 See''em, old top?"
18515Sez she:''Are you James Skaw?'' 18515 Shall I telephone for the police?"
18515Shall we seat ourselves here in the sun?
18515Shed blood? 18515 Sir, do you know what it is to listen to umbrella argooment every day, all day long, from sun- up to night- fall?
18515Stayed under the_ water_?
18515Suppose,he shouted,"that those fish should begin to jump and feed on the bats again?"
18515That''s the question,he nodded with unimpaired cheerfulness,"_ what_ are you going to talk about on April_ the_ first?
18515There''s no use denying that we both have been bowled over by her; is there?
18515True?
18515W- wh- what do you mean?
18515W- what crime?
18515W- what is it?
18515W- what?
18515W- what?
18515W- where are those skulls?
18515W- where?
18515Was it an avalanche?
18515Was it-- moral-- to bring a waitress?
18515Well,he said,"what else are you intending to investigate?"
18515Well,said I,"_ what_ about her?"
18515Were you singing?
18515What about that old party whose name you said had already been given to the lake?
18515What are you doing?
18515What do they look like?
18515What do you desire of me?
18515What do you desire of me?
18515What do you mean?
18515What do you suppose I want of your ridiculous eggs? 18515 What do you think about it?"
18515What do you think they are?
18515What does it look like now?
18515What gentle thoughts are yours, Mildred?
18515What girl?
18515What has happened?
18515What have you done to Professor Boomly?
18515What have you done with him?
18515What is it?
18515What is this scientific information?
18515What is to be done?
18515What is your name?
18515What is_ he_ doing?
18515What on earth do you suppose those gigantic fish feed on?
18515What the devil are you doing?
18515What the devil do_ you_ want?
18515What time are you free, Mildred?
18515What was that awful noise? 18515 What''s the matter with you?"
18515What? 18515 What?"
18515What?
18515What?
18515What?
18515What?
18515When did she tell you_ that_?
18515When will that be?
18515When?
18515Where are these starving caterpillars?
18515Where did this come from?
18515Where have you been?
18515Where is the lead?
18515Where is the map?
18515Where is your old friend, Billy Boomly? 18515 Where?"
18515Which way do you usually go home?
18515Who are you?
18515Who did you say I wished on you?
18515Who? 18515 Who?"
18515Who?
18515Why are you trying to feed me? 18515 Why ca n''t they be named after_ me_?"
18515Why does she dress that way?
18515Why not, Mr. Smith? 18515 Why not?"
18515Why not?
18515Why not?
18515Why this unseemly apropos?
18515Why? 18515 Why?"
18515Why?
18515Why?
18515Why?
18515Why?
18515You are the great Mr. Percy Smith, Curator of the Anthropological Department, are you not?
18515You do n''t expect to see any cave people here, do you?
18515You do n''t mean_ my_ eyes, do you?
18515You lie very nicely, do n''t you?
18515You mean to say that you do n''t, somehow or other, manage to catch and kill birds?
18515You mean to say that you shed blood-- the blood of your old friend-- merely because he meddled with a miserable batch of butterfly''s eggs?
18515You propose to have me pay you for that map?
18515You took a photograph of one of these alleged cave- dwellers?
18515_ Here_?
18515_ What_ do you suppose that devious and secretive female is up to?
18515_ What_ is it-- if you think you know?
18515_ When_ did she tell you_ that_?
18515***** Is it necessary to proceed?
18515***** So what more is there for me to say?
18515A meteor?"
18515An earthquake?"
18515An''then some more?
18515And I was becoming frightened when the bloody bubbles and feathers began to come up--""_ What_ was he doing under water?"
18515And if we had hook, line, steam- winch, and everything else,_ what_ about bait?"
18515And what about a hook?
18515And what do you suppose happened?"
18515And what does_ that_ mean-- that pool of blood on the floor?
18515And will you forgive me for bringing you out here?"
18515Are the waters of the lakes in that locality sufficiently clear for a lady to do her hair by?
18515Are there any hotels?
18515Are you up in your lines?"
18515Are your films ready to record a scene without precedent in the scientific annals of creation?"
18515Barnum he would have went a million miles to see what I seen last Janooary down in the Coquina country--""Where is that?"
18515Batt?"
18515Blythe?"
18515Boomly flushed heavily:"Fat?"
18515But Smithy--""What?"
18515But it is useless to deny that you are the most extraordinary man I ever saw.... How soon can you take me to these Coquina hills?"
18515But it is_ my_ discovery--_my_ contribution to science, is n''t it?"
18515But who can say which is the best kind of anything?
18515Carnegie?"
18515Could Quint have dragged his victim here?
18515Did she happen to glance at_ you_ that way?"
18515Did you ever hear of a fish as big as a sleeping car?"
18515Do n''t go, Smith--""If I stay, may I marry Wilna?"
18515Do n''t you know how to cook?"
18515Do n''t you love and trust me?"
18515Do n''t you understand?
18515Do you know it, Smith?"
18515Do you know what he had done?"
18515Do you know?"
18515Do you mind moving?"
18515Do you see the flicker of fire under the vapour?"
18515Do you think I''d name such an important lake after_ her_?
18515Do you understand?
18515Do you?"
18515Do you?"
18515Get me?"
18515Get me?"
18515Get me?"
18515Get me?"
18515Has anybody been in there?"
18515Has_ he_ been in there?"
18515Have n''t I enough eggs of_ Heliconius salome_ hatching to give me the Carnegie medal if I want it?"
18515Have the trees been heaved up anywhere recently?"
18515Hey?
18515Hoon- hel are you?"
18515How the devil should I know?"
18515How was I going to tell Kemper?
18515I faltered,"what does yonder scene of presumable domesticity mean?"
18515I pondered deeply for a while:"Wilna?"
18515I said to her:"When at home, I suppose your mother tucks you in; does n''t she?"
18515I said:"Have you any particular reason for disliking him?"
18515I shouted with all my might,"have_ you_ put one over on me, too?"
18515I stopped laughing:"Do you mean that I am to go there and investigate before I pay you for this information?"
18515I thought deeply for a few moments, then:"Who is''Billy?''"
18515I''ll go back immediately--""Why not take me, also?"
18515I''ve seen them peep out of the fire and scurry back into it...._ Now_ are you sorry that I wrote you to come?
18515If there are hotels, is there also running water to be had?
18515Is he just plain crazy or does he think he can be funny with me?"
18515Is it too much like crime?"
18515Is it, Mil-- Miss Case?"
18515Is it?"
18515Is it_ really_ an emerald?"
18515Is that right?"
18515Is that what she is now doing to us?"
18515It could n''t have been alive, could it?"
18515It iss aber besser one over on dat lady to put, yess?"
18515Kemper said to me:"Why on earth did you bring a waitress?"
18515Man to man I ask you?"
18515Me without no eddycation, only brains?
18515Might I not, legitimately, have expected the Carnegie Educational Medal for all this?
18515Minorcan?"
18515Mrs. Batt?
18515Now, how about it, friend?
18515Now_ what_ is woman''s besetting emotion?"
18515Or is this revelry?"
18515Ought we to notify our honoured and respected Chief of Division concerning this discovery?"
18515Presently he said:"Why does Miss Grey go?"
18515Say, there ought to be a wad of the joyful in it for us both--""What?"
18515Seven crops o''strawberries every winter in Gawd''s own country-- get me?"
18515Shall I?"
18515Shall it be Lake Kitten Brown, or shall it be_ Minnius kittenii_?
18515She bent forward, lowering her voice a trifle:"Have you noticed,"she asked,"that so many things seem to be_ circular_ out here?"
18515She turned in surprise:"Why am I going?
18515Smith?"
18515Swallowing my repulsion for him I said:"Why are you concerned as to what may be the subject of my approaching address?"
18515The cold voice of Mrs. Doolittle Batt checked my transports:"Is that puddle named after me?"
18515The question remains, do I get mine?"
18515Then he said:"What are you looking for in Black Bayou?"
18515Then:"What is it you''re here for, anyway?"
18515Was n''t there a wop named Pizarro or somethin''what got lost down in Florida?
18515Was she too lazy to rob us of the secretly contemplated glory which we had pretended awaited us?
18515Was that gratitood?
18515Was this formidable woman actually intending to let us depart alone for the Golden Glacier?
18515What about it?
18515What about it?"
18515What about it?"
18515What are the summer outdoor amusements?
18515What are you following me about for, anyway?
18515What are you goin''to say?
18515What are you going to tell her?"
18515What can I do for you, my good man?"
18515What do I care whether it astounds you or anybody else?
18515What do you suppose is the matter with him?
18515What if I did?
18515What is he?
18515What is the name of the first lake we may hope to encounter?"
18515What is to be done?"
18515What more splendid sarcophagus could the ladies of the lake desire than these huge, silvery, itinerant and living tombs?
18515What of it?
18515What reward more sumptuous could anybody wish for than to rest at last within the interior dimness of an absolutely new species of anything?
18515What sample?"
18515What was he saying?
18515What was it?
18515What you aimin''to say to make those guys set up?
18515What''s happening?
18515What''s that to you?
18515What''s the matter with you?"
18515What''s the use of up- stagin''?
18515Whatnhel have I done to you, hey?"
18515Where I''m sitting?"
18515Where is all that remains of Professor Boomly?"
18515Where is he, Quint?
18515Where is he?
18515Where the devil had he gone?
18515Where?''
18515Which is going some, you say?
18515Who are you?
18515Whose is it?"
18515Why ca n''t you make up?"
18515Why do n''t you go in to lunch?
18515Why do you try to catch and kill birds?"
18515Why should I go on?
18515Why you''re fixin''to make the holler of your life, ai n''t you?
18515Why, if it resembles a minnow in size at this distance-- what can be its actual dimensions?"
18515Why?
18515Will you speak to Professor Farrago?"
18515Would you mind getting out?"
18515You can read, ca n''t you?
18515You know it, do n''t you?"
18515You know the Black Bayou forests, do n''t you?"
18515You saw those bats flying over the pond last night, did n''t you?
18515You wanta take a slant at it?"
18515[ Illustration:"''Which way do you usually go home?''
18515_ Did_ I?"
18515_ Plenty!_ What of it?
18515_ Should_ we burst into hellish laughter?
18515_ Suum quemque scelus agitat._ Do you get me, Professor?
18515_ What_ are you going to talk about?"
18515_ With three eyes?_''"''Sure.''"
18515burst out Boomly, his face suffused with passion,"Are you insinuating that I have any designs on your batch of eggs?"
18515shrieked Blythe""''Which way do you usually go home?''
38981A brother?
38981A reporter?
38981A story?
38981And I suppose you know that she loves me, in spite of your objections?
38981And I think you said two shots were fired at the thief?
38981And Miss Meredith?
38981And if I say that Mr. Herbert happens to be a friend of mine?
38981And is he a nice young man?
38981And no other woman there wore such a dress?
38981And that you and Mr. Meredith are practically of the same build?
38981And that you are breaking her heart by your mutton- headed objection to me?
38981And the Girl? 38981 And the Girl?"
38981And the casket?
38981And the other machine?
38981And this girl was dressed like a Western girl?
38981And you, Blanton?
38981And you?
38981And-- what else?
38981Anything you want to say?
38981Are those lights still there?
38981Are you hurt?
38981Are you positive the letter is in your son''s handwriting?
38981Are you the man who stole the gold plate?
38981Are you_ trying_ to convict me?
38981Arrest you?
38981As I understand it,the scientist went on, not heeding the question,"you did not believe Herbert guilty of the first theft?"
38981Back or front?
38981Book agent?
38981Business good?
38981But could n''t you?
38981But how came it in your possession?
38981But what can we do?
38981But you did love me-- once?
38981Ca n''t you go a little slower?
38981Ca n''t you think of a hotel or boarding- house near by?
38981Can you prove it in a court of law?
38981Certainly before unmasking- time,she said,"because-- because I think there is someone here who knows, or suspects, that----""Suspects what?"
38981Clever, was n''t it?
38981Dead?
38981Detective?
38981Diamond rings?
38981Dick Herbert, explain to me, please, what you are doing with that gold plate?
38981Dick, are you awake?
38981Dick, is that you?
38981Did Mr. Herbert say anything when arrested?
38981Did Mr. Meredith arrive from Baltimore?
38981Did he give any reason for his refusal to say anything?
38981Did it ever happen to occur to you, Mr. Herbert, that Harry Meredith and his father are precisely of the same build?
38981Did it have anything to do with theft?
38981Did n''t you find anything at all about the premises?
38981Did she mention my name?
38981Did the injury to your arm,he went on after the approved manner of attorney for the prosecution,"prevent you going to the ball?"
38981Did the person who''phoned give you a name?
38981Did you come in the auto?
38981Did you get an invitation to the Randolph ball?
38981Did you get it?
38981Did you go?
38981Did you notice if the card presented at the door by the Burglar on the evening of the masked ball at Seven Oaks bore a name?
38981Did you notice the handwriting on the card the Burglar gave you?
38981Did you see her?
38981Did your father ever happen to tell you_ why_ he objects to my attentions to you?
38981Do you believe me guilty?
38981Do you believe that I stole the plate?
38981Do you deny that you got it?
38981Do you happen to know where she was?
38981Do you happen to know,he asked,"if Miss Meredith attended the Randolph ball at Seven Oaks on Thursday evening?"
38981Do you have any idea where Miss Meredith was?
38981Do you know that he was wounded?
38981Do you know the young gentleman?
38981Do you know where Miss Dorothy Meredith is?
38981Do you know who_ was_ in the automobile?
38981Do you now believe him guilty?
38981Do you really believe he is the man who came here as the Burglar?
38981Do you really want to go with me?
38981Do you remember the name?
38981Do you_ know_ he_ is_ there?
38981Do you_ know_ that?
38981Does it happen that you have as cleverly traced her?
38981Does your arm pain you?
38981Does your daughter know anything of that affair?
38981Dollie, do n''t you love me?
38981Eavesdropping, eh?
38981Eloped with her?
38981Except what?
38981Fixed? 38981 Guess you never got caught in a pickle like this before?"
38981Had n''t thought of it?
38981Had n''t we better go back to the village and see a doctor?
38981Had n''t you seen me?
38981Has he said anything since?
38981Have you been reading the papers?
38981Have you seen Miss Meredith again?
38981Heard anything from Miss Meredith?
38981Heard the news?
38981Her?
38981How about the jewelry that was stolen from your other guests?
38981How can I when I helped you run away with the horrid stuff?
38981How dare he come here? 38981 How dare you, sir?"
38981How did he die?
38981How did you ever come to hit on a costume like that?
38981How do I know it? 38981 How do you know that?"
38981How long has Mr. Meredith been there?
38981How long has he been dead?
38981How long was I knocked out?
38981How many persons do you suppose actually attended the ball?
38981How much is it worth to you to know if Miss Meredith went to the masked ball?
38981How much is it worth?
38981How much?
38981How much?
38981How-- how long,she asked,"have you been a-- a-- a-- kleptomaniac?"
38981How-- how-- did you happen to know her name?
38981Hunh?
38981Hunh?
38981Husband beat you?
38981I do n''t suppose Mr. Herbert explained how he got the wound?
38981I do n''t suppose it possible that Miss Meredith has returned to Baltimore?
38981I do n''t suppose there''s any doubt in your mind of my affection for your daughter?
38981I do n''t suppose you''ve heard anything further from Miss Meredith?
38981I mean, do you recall if it was different in any way from the handwriting on the other cards?
38981I merely wanted to inquire if it would be permissible for me to see that cushion?
38981I ought to throw you down the stairs, but-- what is it?
38981I prefer that you keep it,she insisted firmly,"for, besides, I shall have to ask you to let me have fare back to the city-- a couple of dollars?
38981I presume that, on its return by express, Mr. Randolph ordered the plate placed in the small room as before?
38981I presume, Miss Meredith,he said solemnly,"that the maid informed you of my identity?"
38981I understand, by the way, that one of your men took a leather cushion from the automobile in which the thieves escaped on the night of the ball?
38981If Doctor Walpole should dress a wound and should later, under oath, point out its exact location, you would believe him?
38981If Hatch knew it why did n''t he tell me?
38981If I pledge you my word of honour that I told you the truth?
38981If it had been would you have noticed it?
38981If you''ll tell me something about Miss Meredith-- who she is and all that?
38981In a hurry?
38981Indeed?
38981Is Mrs. Greyton in?
38981Is everything ready?
38981Is he here now?
38981Is it necessary to go so awfully fast?
38981Is it really and truly you?
38981Is n''t it a fact that you did intend to elope with her on Thursday evening?
38981Is that all?
38981Is that correct?
38981Is that enough?
38981Is there anything I can do?
38981It does n''t happen,he went on,"that, by any possible chance, you know anything about it, does it?"
38981It was a detective-- you know that?
38981It''s perfectly asinine to suppose that_ she_ had anything to do with either theft, do n''t you think?
38981Just what do you know of this affair?
38981Kissed me?
38981Left no clew, of course?
38981Loaded?
38981Make to order, I s''pose?
38981May I ask his present address?
38981May I ask if you happen to know Richard Herbert?
38981May I ask where_ you_ were last Thursday night?
38981May I ask your son''s address?
38981May I ask, Mr. Meredith,he began,"how many sons you have?"
38981May I ask,he inquired with pronounced emphasis on the personal pronoun,"why you want to know?"
38981May I inquire,she asked, after she recovered her breath,"the cause of this-- this levity?"
38981May I see Miss Meredith for a few minutes?
38981May I see your revolver?
38981May I send a card to her?
38981Miss Meredith,he said soothingly after a pause,"will you admit or deny that you ever heard of the Randolph robbery?"
38981Miss Meredith?
38981Miss Meredith?
38981Mr. Hatch called yet?
38981Mr. Hatch, what is that name I asked you to get?
38981Mr. Herbert confessed to you that he was with you in the automobile, did n''t he?
38981Mr. Herbert here?
38981My bill, please?
38981No, nor would you inform me of the nature of the evidence against him in addition to the jewels and plate found in his possession?
38981Not very well?
38981Nothing but the gold plate was found?
38981Now Cunningham?
38981Now, Mr. Cunningham, may I ask if the Burglar''s back was toward you when you fired?
38981Now, Mr. Hatch,asked The Thinking Machine,"just what is known of this second theft of the gold plate?"
38981Now, Mr. Mallory,continued The Thinking Machine at last,"one of your men shot twice at the Burglar in the automobile, as I understand it?"
38981Now, Mr. Mallory,the scientist went on calmly,"do you happen to know Dr. Clarence Walpole?"
38981Now, Mr. Randolph, how many invitations were issued for the ball?
38981Now, look here, Dick,expostulated Hatch,"do n''t you want to make some statement of your connection with this affair?
38981Now, madam?
38981Now, why did Mr. Herbert confess to Miss Meredith that he stole the plate?
38981Of course, then, you''ve seen the stories about the Randolph robbery?
38981Oh, if they are watching us what shall we do?
38981Oh, is n''t that delightful?
38981Oh, would n''t that please Mallory?
38981Oh, you_ did_ do it then?
38981Only eleven pieces of the plate were first stolen, you said?
38981Paregoric?
38981Personal matter?
38981Prove it? 38981 Proven innocent?"
38981Sewing- machines?
38981She is not at home?
38981Some time ago she met a man named Herbert-- Richard Herbert, I think, and----"Dick Herbert?
38981Something in a bag?
38981Suppose I should confess that I did?
38981Suppose it had been just a freak of mine, and I had intended to-- to return the stuff, as has been done?
38981Suppose now, just suppose, that we three get together and tell each other the truth for a change, the whole truth, and see what will happen?
38981Suppose,he whispered,"suppose I should confess that I did take it?"
38981The bag is all right, I suppose?
38981The bag with the stuff-- the one I threw in the car when we started?
38981The bag?
38981The casket?
38981They''re chasing us, are n''t they?
38981This is n''t any silly joke?
38981This is the revolver you used?
38981Thought what?
38981Thursday night, perhaps?
38981Was Harry Meredith masked when he entered this room last Thursday night?
38981Was Miss Meredith the girl in the automobile?
38981Was he a particular friend of yours in college?
38981Was he masked?
38981Was it a man or a woman talking?
38981Was it a pistol shot?
38981We will have to go in a few minutes, wo n''t we?
38981Well, Downey?
38981Well, what about it all, anyhow?
38981Well, what did you find out?
38981Well, what of it?
38981Well?
38981Well?
38981Well?
38981Well?
38981Well?
38981Well?
38981What about her?
38981What am I doing with it?
38981What are the questions?
38981What are you doing with it?
38981What business of yours is it, anyway?
38981What could have caused you to do such a thing?
38981What did she wear?
38981What did you do with the list of invited guests?
38981What do you know of any woman?
38981What does he look like?
38981What gold plate?
38981What is it all about?
38981What is it, please?
38981What is it?
38981What is the nature of the injury?
38981What kind of stuff?
38981What luck did_ you_ have?
38981What luck did_ you_ have?
38981What next?
38981What sort of a confession?
38981What was her appearance?
38981What you got in the bag?
38981What''s in it?
38981What''s the matter?
38981What''s the matter?
38981What''s this about the bail- bond?
38981What?
38981What?
38981What_ do_ you sell?
38981When did she return?
38981When was it, please?
38981Where are those cards, Curtis?
38981Where are you?
38981Where did you get that idea?
38981Where has she been?
38981Where is it?
38981Where is she?
38981Where is the car?
38981Where is the drug store?
38981Where is your son now? 38981 Where is your son?"
38981Where was the wound, please?
38981Where was the wound?
38981Where were you on the evening of the masked ball?
38981Who are you, Mr. Van Dusen?
38981Who fired them, please?
38981Who is it, Blair?
38981Who the deuce is Van Dusen?
38981Who then,he demanded after a couple of gulps--"who do you say is the thief if Herbert is not?"
38981Whose brother? 38981 Why did n''t you mention the jewelry at first?
38981Why did you disappear?
38981Why did you see him?
38981Why do n''t you say something?
38981Why you did_ not_ meet me?
38981Why you did_ not_ meet me?
38981Why you did_ not_ meet me?
38981Why, Dick, what is that?
38981Why-- yes, but I-- I----"And could n''t you ever love me again?
38981Why?
38981Will you admit that you saw him?
38981Will you deny that you saw Richard Herbert on the evening of the masked ball?
38981Will you give me your permission to see her here and now, if she will consent?
38981Will you inform me, then, in the interest of justice, where you were on the evening of the Randolph ball?
38981Will you name the cause of the trouble you and Meredith had in Harvard?
38981Would it be possible, Miss Meredith,the even voice went on,"to convince_ you_ of Mr. Herbert''s innocence?"
38981Would you be satisfied?
38981Would you believe him under oath?
38981Would you mind telling me if any of the jewelry you found in Mr. Herbert''s possession has been identified?
38981Would you mind telling me just what makes you think I got it?
38981Would you remember it if you saw it or heard it again?
38981You are certain there was only_ one_ man at that ball dressed as a Burglar?
38981You are making no mistake?
38981You did n''t see her there?
38981You do n''t know if the package was there when you went in?
38981You have the bullet?
38981You know she did n''t take the plate?
38981You know that a man and a woman are accused of and sought for the theft?
38981You know, too, that Richard Herbert went to that ball in Burglar''s garb and that you went there dressed as a Western girl?
38981You mean you-- you-- you_ stole_ it?
38981You probably knew that he was wounded and possibly either aided in dressing the wound-- as any woman would-- or else saw him dress it himself?
38981You recognised him, then, by something he said or wore?
38981You still do n''t believe him guilty?
38981You were speaking of Miss Dorothy Meredith, were n''t you?
38981You will admit that you know the man was in Burglar''s garb, and that the woman was dressed in a Western costume?
38981You will not believe what I tell you?
38981You would n''t have gone with any other man?
38981You_ know_ he was with you?
38981You_ know_ it?
38981You_ know_ that only two shots were fired?
38981Your casket of jewels was found among the stolen goods in his possession?
38981_ How_ do you know it?
38981410 State Street for a package?"
38981A brother?
38981A wound caused by a pistol- bullet?
38981After a while, from below, he heard the tinkle of a bell and Blair entered with light tread:"Beg pardon, sir, are you asleep?"
38981Am I right?"
38981By something he said or wore?
38981By the way, I suppose you know where I came from, eh?"
38981Can you direct me to a quiet hotel or boarding- house where I might stay?"
38981Could you tell me, please, where a lady, unattended, might get a night''s lodging somewhere near here?"
38981Cunningham?"
38981Detective Mallory doesn''t----""When and where was Mr. Herbert arrested?"
38981Did her father shoot him?
38981Did she shoot him?
38981Did you get it all right?"
38981Did you notice the card she gave you?"
38981Do you know that idea keeps coming to me and wo n''t go away?"
38981Finally she compromised by blushing radiantly at the memory of certain lingering kisses she had bestowed upon-- upon-- Dick Herbert?
38981Greyton?"
38981Had Doctor Walpole recently dressed a wound for Mr. Herbert?
38981Hatch?"
38981Have you met him?"
38981He asked the first question with trepidation:"Mr. Randolph, can you give me the address of Miss Dorothy Meredith?"
38981He was hurt and----""Who is it, Blair?"
38981Herbert?"
38981How are you, anyhow?"
38981How did Mr. Herbert know this brother?
38981How do you feel?"
38981How had he recognised him as Harry Meredith?
38981How long has she been gone?...
38981Huh?...
38981If I do n''t see her---- By the way, did her father arrive from Baltimore?"
38981If at home, would he not go to the nearest physician?
38981Is that to stand forever?"
38981Is there no way I can place myself right in your eyes?"
38981Is_ he_ in?"
38981It was a costume affair, I suppose?"
38981Merritt?...
38981Missing?...
38981Now that''s a silly state of affairs, is n''t it?"
38981Now what does that mean?"
38981Now, Miss Meredith, will you tell me, please, just where you have been?"
38981Now, is n''t it a fact that you did intend to elope with her on Thursday evening?"
38981Now, may I ask you what you intend to publish about this affair?"
38981Now, the question is: What possible connection can there be between Dorothy Meredith and the Burglar?
38981Now, what shall I say if they ask questions?
38981Now, what_ did_ happen to Mr. Herbert?
38981Now, will you or will you not return the plate?"
38981Of course it will be all right?"
38981Randolph live here?''
38981Randolph?"
38981Red, you mean?...
38981Taking it this way at this time of the night?"
38981That''s what they do, is n''t it?"
38981The ball was thirty- two calibre?"
38981Then the question: Was the man who stole from Mr. Herbert, probably entering his place and shooting him, masked?
38981Then, in a deadly, forced calm:"She attended the masked ball Thursday evening, did n''t she?"
38981Then-- what?"
38981Then:"Who is this talking?"
38981Thursday evening?...
38981Was Dick Herbert the Burglar?
38981Was it in his college days?
38981Well and good, but is that all?
38981Well, what the deuce is it then?...
38981What am I?
38981What brother?"
38981What could have delayed him?"
38981What does she look like?...
38981What in the world was the matter with you, anyway?"
38981What is the nearest village or town?"
38981What''s her name?...
38981What''s his name?"
38981What''s in it?"
38981What?...
38981Who is he?
38981Who was he?
38981Who_ is_ this?"
38981Why would n''t he say something?
38981Why?
38981Why?
38981Why?
38981Why?"
38981Why?"
38981Why?"
38981Why?"
38981Yes?
38981Yes?...
38981Yet, what happened to him?
38981You know, of course, about the finding of the two automobiles that figured in the case, and the blood- stained cushion?"
38981[ Illustration:"An envious mask hid cheeks and brow"]"How did you know me?"
38981_ SPELL IT!_... M- e- r- e- d- i- t- h. Why did n''t you say that at first?...
38981the reporter asked--"that is, during the last couple of days?"
35991''You do not mean That was the first and last with him?'' 35991 About the time, That May before she finished High School, Elenor Broke loose, ran wild, do you remember, Carl?
35991And as for that, what did I see in Paris But human nature working in the war As everywhere it works in peace? 35991 As they rallied, But when my strength was almost spent-- what comes?
35991Before this quarrel we had been engaged And at this evening''s end I brought it up:''What shall we do? 35991 But first, my love, As spirits equal and with equal rights, Or privilege of equal wrongs, have I Demanded former purity of you?
35991But had I been American to the core, Would I have put the sweet temptation by? 35991 Could we manage it?"
35991I went to her, Pulled down her hands from eyes and shook her hard: What is this? 35991 If I had any thought There in that awful moment, it was this: To run away, escape, could I maintain An innocent presence there, be clear of fault?
35991Is it portless?
35991So, that''s your story, is it?
35991Well, now Why did I turn to Gregory from you? 35991 Well, then what was the riddle?
35991What is the matter?
35991Who was this woman? 35991 With the morning I lay in bed and thought: Did Irma Leese Know anything of me, or did she know That Elenor went out to meet a man?
35991A man can shake a vampire off, but how To shake a wife off, when the children come, And you must leave your place, your livelihood To shake her off?
35991A woman of one sin, Or many sins, her life filled up with treason, Since I had left her?"
35991A woman wholly bad?
35991All her life This girl aspires-- you think to win a man?
35991All learning may be that, but what is that?
35991America, Oh yes, America, she said to self, How is it different from the land I left?
35991And John speaks up:"Well, Carl, now Elenor Murray is no more, And we are friends so long, I''d like to know What do you think of her?"
35991And Lilli Alm who taught the art of song Looked at him half contemptuous and said:"Why did she fail?"
35991And Lowell studied them and said at last:"That new reporter makes the Murray inquest A thing of interest, does the public like it?"
35991And Merival spoke up:"What is to- day?
35991And Sosnowski spoke:"I meant to kill you-- where''s your right to live When millions have been killed to make the world A safer place for liberty?
35991And after that?
35991And all this realm of spirit, Of love for truth and beauty, is the play Of shadows on the tomb?"
35991And for this What did I get?
35991And for what?
35991And had she lied, had she been living free, Unshackled of our system, faith and cult, American or Christian, what you will?
35991And have n''t we, the nurses and the soldiers Written some million stories for the eyes Of boys and girls to read these fifty years?
35991And if A jury and the courts adjudged this boy Of nineteen in his mind, what was the right Of interference by the governor?
35991And if a man cause war, or suffer war, When he could stop it, do we say he loves?
35991And if she did not know, who could disclose That I was with her?
35991And if she had a syncope, was held up, Who held her up?
35991And if you shake her off Where do you go?
35991And just to hear that she Had planned to see me, ask for clemency For this condemned degenerate, made me say Shall I let death defeat her?
35991And just to think you used that sharpened talent For getting money, place, in the old regime, To place you where to- day?
35991And last night When Elenor Murray''s picture in the_ Times_ Looked at me, I began to think, Good Lord, Where have I seen that face before?
35991And may I test this jet, while I am here?
35991And on the third night saw At half- past eight or nine this fellow come And take her walking in the darkness-- where?
35991And on this day the coroner had a letter From Margery Camp which said:"Where''s Barrett Bays?
35991And others said:"We know through Jacob Bangs he has investments In wheat lands, what''s the truth?
35991And perhaps Real things were back of ways to be construed In innocence or wisdom-- for who knows?
35991And radical with axes after trees, And clergymen with curses on the fig trees?
35991And so what have we?
35991And then he said:"Why did you do this?"
35991And then she asked:"Have you felt in my hands Great tenderness, solicitude, even prayer?"
35991And this is what I hear-- the husband''s voice, Which well I knew, the officer''s in command:''Why have you brought your wife here?''
35991And to that end take life in hand?
35991And was it true That Elenor Murray strayed as a young girl In those far days of strolls and buggy rides?
35991And was it truth He told of meeting Elenor, her death?
35991And was she brave, And nerved to end it by these words of Elenor?
35991And were the Burtons better than this Kingston?
35991And what if our home was not home to her?
35991And what is next?
35991And what is this he sees?
35991And what of those who got effects because They knew this Elenor Murray?
35991And what''s the state Of things in Christendom?
35991And where is Barrett Bays?
35991And who does that?
35991And who knows But all the money went here in the end?
35991And why aspire if death Ends us, the scheme?
35991And why no sons and daughters, strong and fair, To use these horses, ponies, tramp the fields, Shout from the tennis court, swim, skate and row?
35991And why no woman in his life, no face Smiling from out the summer house of roses, Such riotous flames against the distant green?
35991And why not?
35991And why was that?
35991And why?
35991And write these words:"To be brave and not to flinch"?
35991And you want me?
35991Are not there rooms of books, of tales and poems And histories to show all secrets of life?
35991Are you engaged to me?
35991Asked Elenor Murray,"do you think we can?"
35991But I ask What soldier or what nurse retained his faith, The splendor of his flame?
35991But Sosnowski thought If I could do a flaming thing to show What courts are ours, what matter if I die?
35991But explain Why would she over- stress the roses, give Me understandings foreign to the truth?
35991But if our Elenor Murray Had not been found beside the river, what Had happened?
35991But if you loved me then, Or soon thereafter loved me, as I know, What should I do?
35991But just suppose, as I began to say, You never had discovered Gregory Wenner, And had the rapture, beauty which you had, How stands the case?
35991But meantime If Gregory Wenner killed this Elenor Murray How did he do it?
35991But now what do we see?
35991But the dead, And what they lived, what are they?--what the things Of our dead selves to selves who are alive, And live the hour that''s given us?"
35991But then at last What can you do with life?
35991But then you say, what of his love and doctrine?
35991But what is love but of the soul-- what flesh Knows love but through the soul?
35991But what were all these rooms and acres to him With no face near him but the servants, gardeners?
35991But who knew that I grieved to see her lose A schooling at St. Mary''s, have no chance?
35991But who knows About the father''s parents, or the mother''s?
35991But why do we suffer?
35991But win a man with what?
35991Can I regret my work, nor take a hurt Upon my very soul?
35991Can you dispute My eyes were fixed upon a lovelier life, Have never gaze withdrawn from loveliness?
35991Cause of death?
35991Concretely said, in brief, A man and woman have produced this child; What was the child''s pre- natal circumstance?
35991Consequence?
35991Could I get well in time?
35991Could I not wait from day to day and see What turn the news would take?
35991Could he kill her and return And kill himself?
35991Did I become a common woman, turn To common life and ways?
35991Did he forgive Judas Iscariot?
35991Did he forgive Poor Peter by specific words?
35991Did he forgive the thief upon the cross, Who railed at him?
35991Did she aspire?
35991Did she not ripple merriment to hide Her disappointment, wake me if she could?
35991Did she take Joan''s spirit for her guide?
35991Did that contaminate her, change her flesh, Or change her spirit?
35991Did the major steal The heart of Elenor Murray, speed her death?
35991Did the public make it?
35991Do I not soil my soul with penitence, And smut this loveliness with penitence?
35991Do n''t you know Roy Green is laughing at you in his sleeve, And boasts that Elenor Murray was all his?
35991Do n''t you see Our western culture in such words as these?
35991Do n''t you see that I Was caught in mathematics, jotted down Upon a slate before I came to earth?
35991Do you know A man until you see him face to face?
35991Do you know of the care a nurse can give, And what she can withhold?"
35991Do you not see the rule of compensation Shot through it all?
35991Do you remember all the books I read Two years ago upon heredity, Foot- notes to evolution, the dynamics Of living matter?
35991Do you so promise me?"
35991Do you think, A softness in the heart went to the brain And softened that?
35991Do you wonder now That people cry for war?
35991Does anyone live now, or learn a thing Not lived and learned a thousand times before?
35991Does this sound like a coward?
35991Dumm, dumm, dumm, dumm, How''s that for quality, sweet clear and pure?
35991Effluvia material of our bodies?
35991Elenor Murray Died how?
35991Elenor Stood on the fence, flung up her arms and crowed, And said"What can they do?
35991Elenor, What is the matter?
35991Escape The censor''s eye?
35991For if Elenor Was not a Joan too, why treasure this?
35991For who am I to judge?
35991Go up to see and test it?"
35991Good Lord, it''s one o''clock, I must to bed.... You get my story Merival?
35991Gregory Wenner''s?
35991He did forgive the hands Who crucified him, but he had a reason: They knew not what they did; well, as for that Who knows the thing he does?
35991He did?
35991He died a year ago, as you''ll remember, What were his secrets, agony?
35991He got a car And hurried to the place where Eleanor lay.... Now who was Merival the Coroner?
35991He took the dividends, and put them-- where?
35991He would ask:"No news?
35991He''s had enough of her or never cared-- Which is it?
35991He''s turned upon our inquest, did you see The jab he gives me?
35991Here''s my word: Give men and women freedom, save the land From dull theocracy-- the theo, what?
35991How Is that for metaphor?
35991How about the mother?
35991How about this lawyer, And Margery the aunt?
35991How could I follow them?
35991How could I trust her?
35991How could we escape?
35991How did her birth affect the father, mother?
35991How do I view the matter?
35991How do you know a man, or know a woman Until the flesh instructs you?
35991How had it benefited you or me, Increased your love, or founded it upon A surer rock than beauty?
35991How have I sinned?
35991How keep it clean Confessing what I did( if I thought so) As evil and unclean?"
35991How long had death Been on her eyes?
35991How long were you asleep?
35991However flamed with zeal had I said no When lips like hers were offered?
35991I call Death twin Of Love, and why?
35991I have heard Most everything about you, of your youth Your schooling, shall I say your sorrow too?
35991I read the letter over: How could this letter pass the censor?
35991I roll the panoramic story out To Washington the great-- what do I see?
35991I said to her, You leave me too?
35991I wonder should I tell the coroner?
35991I''d sit beside his cell and read some words From his confession, ask why did you this?
35991I''ve found it now: What is the intellect but eyes, where sight Is gathered in two spheres?
35991If I find no ricin I turn to streptococcus, deadly snake, Or shall I call him tiger?
35991If he had a friend, Who was a mind to him as well, perhaps It was a certain lawyer, but who knew?
35991If it had prospered The man had never told, what do you think?"
35991If that be mud, Which we have heard, around her, is it mud That weights the soul of America, the pure Dream of our founders?
35991If that were true, What was the past?
35991If that''s the case, Should not these letters reach the coroner?
35991If you could choose, be Elenor Murray or Our schoolmate, Mary Marsh, which would you be?
35991If you know it, why drop tears For people better off?
35991In Paris what Happened to break your balance?
35991In any case What avarice is this that made him anxious About the comfort of his wife and family?
35991Is a country Free where the laws permit such things?
35991Is it not true?
35991Is there a soul You''d like to know?
35991It came about When Ludwig Haibt said:"Have you read the papers About this Elenor Murray?"
35991It must be true, She went so secretly to walk that morning To meet a man-- why would she walk alone?
35991Let me look behind The door that closes on your man at home, The wife and children there, what shall I find?
35991Look You come into my life, what do you bring?
35991Look back Do you not see Voltaire lay hold of her, Hands out of tombs and spirits, from the skies Lead her to Europe?
35991Might not that progress start as one result Of this great war?
35991My care proved useless-- or shall I say so?
35991My father died before this son was born; Why does this son smack lips and turn his hand Just like my father did?
35991No chance save what she earned herself?
35991No word?
35991No, Why should she?
35991Now do n''t you see the contrast?
35991Now it seems She''s dead and never married-- why not me?
35991Now tell me, have you?''
35991Now two things: Suppose the writer of the letters killed This Elenor Murray, is somehow involved In Elenor Murray''s death?
35991Now what are these but levers of our machine?
35991Now, at the last Has not this war put by resist not evil?
35991Now, look a minute: Why did she join the church?
35991O, my love, What should I do when this most priceless gift Was held up like a crown within your hands To place upon my brows-- what should I do?
35991Oh, is it human nature, That fights like maggots in the rotting carcass?
35991Or anyone say so?
35991Or did it make the public, that it fitted With such exactness in the communal life?
35991Or did the major follow her?
35991Or is it human nature tortured, bound By artificial doctrines, creeds which all Pretend belief in, really doubt, resist And can not live by?"
35991Or know what texture is his hand until You touch his hand?
35991Or was it guilt For some complicity in Elenor''s death?
35991Or was she half and half?
35991Or with the inquest?
35991Result?
35991Schools She had in plenty, what would she have done With courses to the end in music, art?
35991Shall we let these trivial minds Who see salvation, progress in restraint, Pre- empt the field of moulding human life?
35991She could have married-- why not?
35991She drops Roy Green for me-- what does he care?
35991She goes to Europe then-- with husband?
35991She had kept from me The diary, threw it from the window, what Was life of her in France?
35991She might have married, had a home and children, What of it?
35991She renewed it-- said,"Why do you hurry back?
35991She straightened up And questioned me:"Have you been ill before?
35991She was the lover, do you understand?
35991Should not he stand on guard?
35991Should not the body lie, as it was found, Until the coroner takes charge of it?
35991So I say If her life came to any waste, what waste May her heroic life and death prevent?
35991So I say, Why do you come to me?
35991So was her life a ruin, was it waste?
35991THE BIRTH OF ELENOR MURRAY What are the mortal facts With which we deal?
35991Take the breach And make her death no matter in my course?
35991Take this girl: Why do you marvel that she rode at night With any man who came along?
35991Take you aside and say, here is the truth, Here''s Gregory Wenner-- what''s the good of that?
35991Tell me all?"
35991That night I lay awake and tossed and thought: Where are they now?
35991The bird is slain perhaps, the turtle lives, But which has known the thrills?
35991The father drinks, you say?
35991The fellow said it, damn him-- whether she Made such a promise, who knows?
35991The hand that stirs, The potter''s hand?
35991The hunter who came up and found the body?
35991The life goes out, how many things result?
35991The question is, Is life worth living, good Or bad?
35991The time?
35991The world Is better, is it?
35991Then David Barrow asked:"Who is the man That used to write to Elenor, went away?"
35991Then David Borrow, And Winthrop Marion with the coroner Shot questions at him till he woke, regained A memory, concentration: Who are you?
35991Then I lied to her; And laughed a little, answered no, and asked,''What do you know about her?''"
35991Then I thought: Here is a girl who rides with that Roy Green And what would he be with her for, I ask?
35991Then Winthrop Marion said:"I like your talk, Llewellyn George, but still what killed the girl?
35991Then if the lover be not known by lovers How is she known?
35991Then what are spirits?
35991Then what?
35991There I stood, Believed I was alone, then heard a voice,"Is it not beautiful?"
35991There is money in it, Perhaps, who knows?
35991There''s Bruno, Socrates, There''s Washington who might have lost his life, Why do these men cling to the vision, hope?
35991These months Of silence, what are they?
35991They live In heaven, say your Elenor Murrays, well, Who knows this?
35991They teach us physiology; who teaches The use of instincts and emotions, powers?
35991This Elenor Murray A miniature imperfect of La Menken?
35991To chasten us, to better, purge our sins?
35991To recur I''m down to this: Perhaps a hemolysis-- But what produced it?
35991To return How much did Elenor Murray use her mind, How much her instincts, leave herself alone Let nature have its way?
35991To what and whom?
35991Unless she runs to men already married, And if she does so, do n''t you make her out As loose and bad?
35991Until at last I said, no more, my dear-- The past is dead, What is the past to me?
35991Untruthful, how could confidence be hers?
35991Was I first rate lawyer?
35991Was I not justified In hiding Gregory Wenner to preserve The beauty and the rapture which you craved?
35991Was it Gregory Wenner?
35991Was it simply to conceal A passion written in these letters here For his sake or his wife''s?
35991Was it to forget?
35991Was she like Sieur LaSalle shot down, or choked, Struck, poisoned?
35991Was she married?
35991We are together now, We do not dream, do we?
35991Well she loved Dumas, Inscribed a book of poems to Charles Dickens, By his permission, mark you-- don''t you see Your Elenor Murray here?
35991Well, at first What did I care what she had been before, Whose mistress, sweetheart?
35991Well, but how about The flames that make the children?
35991Well, for some weeks I lay there, and at last Words dropped around me that the time was near For blows to count-- would I be there to strike?
35991Well, then I thought-- why not?
35991Well, then What was my love?
35991Well, then your marriage counter Could scarcely ask: What is your aim in life?
35991Well, then"What was he hired for?"
35991Well, what is more to tell?
35991What are they doing now?
35991What better way to end it?"
35991What calls you back?
35991What can I say?
35991What can I say?
35991What could you find here, if you seek no husband, Even in seeing France so partially?
35991What depths of calmness may a man come to As father, who can think of this and be Quiet about his heart?
35991What did I find?
35991What did Jesus do?
35991What did he find?
35991What did their friends, old women, relatives Take from the child in feeling, joy or pain?
35991What did we do?
35991What do we know of Elenor Murray''s death?
35991What does it come to?
35991What girl Has earned the money for two years in college Beside my Elenor in this neighborhood?
35991What good can come of hatred, greed and murder?
35991What happened then?
35991What happened then?
35991What happened there?
35991What happened?
35991What hunter after secrets could find out?
35991What if I Had failed as father in the way I failed?
35991What in adventure, lures to bring you here, Where peril, labor are?
35991What is a man or woman but a sperm Accreted into largeness?
35991What is it all?
35991What is that Contrasted with the cost to me, if I Had let him hang?
35991What is the inference?
35991What is the part it plays with Elenor Murray?
35991What is the time?"
35991What is this love force?
35991What is this spirit, but the spirit Of Something which moves through us, to an end, And by its constancy in man made constant Proclaims an end?
35991What is this?
35991What next?
35991What of her childhood friends, her days at school, Her teachers, girlhood sweethearts, lovers later, When she became a woman?
35991What of that?
35991What of the girl?
35991What of these?
35991What other entries did I miss, what shames Recorded since she left me, here in France?
35991What results?
35991What shall I do?
35991What shall we do about it?--let it go?
35991What shall we do?
35991What soul would seek him in this room of books?
35991What was I after all?
35991What was I then to judge?
35991What was she doing by the river''s shore?
35991What was she then?
35991What was she, anyway, that she could lose Such happiness and love?
35991What was she?

35991You know the face?
35991You may be called neurotic, what is that?
35991You should have seen my mother-- how she gasped, And gestured losing breath, to say at last:''Why, Carl, my boy, what are you thinking of?
35991You smile, which means you sun yourself within The power I have, and yet do you approve?
35991Your love life?

5054And they operate so secretly that Brixton can trust no one about him?
5054And were engaged, were you not?
5054And what is a thermopile?''
5054And who are these Elmores?
5054And who might you be?
5054And you were not with them?
5054Annie Grayson? 5054 Are they salable; that is, could any one dispose of the emeralds or the other curios with reasonable safety and at a good price?"
5054Are you aware of any scandal, any skeleton in the closet in the family?
5054Are you going to keep up this debauch?
5054Are you going to put in a detectaphone?
5054Are you going?
5054Are you hurt badly?
5054Are you hurt?
5054Are you sure that it is a fact?
5054Blown?
5054But have you any idea who would go so far to protect his investments as to kill?
5054But what about Annie Grayson?
5054But what do you expect to gain by it?
5054But why should the Chinaman shoot my sister?
5054But, man,shouted Brixton,"you do n''t suppose anything in the world counts beside her, do you?"
5054But,I objected,"how about the oil of turpentine?"
5054By some jiu jitsu trick?
5054By the way,he remarked, just before we left,"you used a good deal of canned goods at the Godwin house, did n''t you?"
5054Captain,he cried,"can you send a wireless message?
5054Cobra venom?
5054Could I--he slipped a crumpled treasury note into her hand--"could I speak to Mr. Thornton''s nurse?"
5054Could a current from one of the batteries have influenced the receiving apparatus?
5054Could it have been some medical students, body- snatchers?
5054Could it have been through something internal?
5054Could you point it out to me from the window?
5054Count Wachtmann?
5054Cushing?
5054Did Mr. Borland and his new chemist Lathrop believe it, too?
5054Did you ever see Mr. Phelps take any drugs-- not habitually, but just before this sleep came on?
5054Did you notice anything unusual?
5054Did you try artificial respiration?
5054Do you know anything about his scheme?
5054Do you know who he is?
5054Do you recall using any that were-- well, perhaps not exactly spoiled, but that had anything peculiar about them?
5054Do you think he could have been kidnapped or murdered?
5054Do you think he oversteps his position in trying to learn of the mental life of his patients?
5054Do you think he was right?
5054Do you think it was a suicide?
5054Do you use it often?
5054Do you wish to speak to him? 5054 Does that mean that he has gone-- escaped?"
5054Emery Pitts?
5054Engaged?
5054Had a mousey smell? 5054 Had you ever noticed that he took any drug?"
5054Has anything happened?
5054Have you any idea who it could be?
5054Have you come any closer to the truth?
5054Have you ever heard of or used cobra venom in any of your medical work?
5054Have you no clue, no suspicions?
5054Have you struck a snag?
5054Have you-- er-- any one here named Thornton-- er--?
5054He is talking into a very sensitive telephone transmitter and--"But the voice-- here?
5054He was a friend of Mrs. Maitland''s, was he not?
5054Heart failure-- what does that mean? 5054 Hello-- yes-- is that you, Burke?
5054Here? 5054 How are the tests coming along?"
5054How can you?
5054How could any one have got in from the outside?
5054How could she have any connection with the case?
5054How did that land there?
5054How did you enjoy it?
5054How did you get him so that he is even considering turning state''s evidence?
5054How did you know I was interested?
5054How did you know he was here?
5054How do you mean?
5054How do you mean?
5054How is she now?
5054How long ago did the coma first show itself?
5054How-- what do you mean?
5054Hulloa-- what''s this?
5054I have n''t looked into the case very deeply, but I''m not so sure that he had the secret, are you?
5054I may keep these for the present?
5054I send that? 5054 I suppose you have heard of this?"
5054I suppose you saw that despatch from Washington in this afternoon''s papers?
5054I trust he is all right here?
5054I wonder if he''d recognise me?
5054I wonder if the long arm of this vice trust could have reached out and gathered them in, too?
5054I?
5054If any one dares to do that to him, what will they do to me?
5054In his note,resumed Kennedy,"he spoke of Dr. Ross and--""Oh,"she cried,"ca n''t you see Dr. Ross about it?
5054In the kitchen?
5054Indeed?
5054Indol?
5054Inert?
5054Is he very-- very badly?
5054Is n''t this a marvellous picture? 5054 Is that so?
5054Is this Professor Kennedy?
5054Kidnapped, you say? 5054 Kronski?
5054Merciless?
5054Mice?
5054Minna,murmured Pitts, falling back, exhausted by the excitement, on his pillows,"Minna-- forgive?
5054Miriam?
5054Mr. Maitland had no enemies that you know of?
5054Mr. Masterson, I believe?
5054Mrs. Maitland, I believe, is a patient of yours?
5054Mrs. Pitts,began Kennedy,"I suppose you are aware of the physical condition of your husband?"
5054Must that grim prison take in others, even if my husband goes free?
5054Must-- must it be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?
5054My dear,he said to her at length,"will you call some one and have them taken to the kitchen?"
5054No one?
5054Nordheim?
5054Not a suicide?
5054Now where was the body, exactly, when you opened the door?
5054Of Dr. Thompson Lord?
5054Oh, Walter, on Broadway? 5054 Or perhaps bribed?"
5054Or was it simply a piece of vandalism? 5054 Outside the hull?"
5054Perhaps, Ruth, I had better-- ah-- see these gentlemen alone?
5054Professor Kennedy?
5054Saw whom?
5054Say, do you and your gun- moll want to pick up a piece of change to get that mouthpiece I heard you talking about?
5054Secret service-- rummage baggage?
5054Shall I order them to bring Mrs. Willoughby and Annie Grayson to the superintendent''s office and have them searched?
5054She broke off the engagement?
5054Siege?
5054Since when were you admitted into society?
5054So you are a cocaine fiend, also?
5054So you think he really did have the secret of artificial rubber?
5054Stand it?
5054Strange delusions?
5054Strangled?
5054Suicide?
5054Telautomatics?
5054The Jap-- Nichi Moto?
5054The Stamford cottage?
5054The body is really there?
5054The coast or Down East?
5054The phantom circuit?
5054The question is, who and what was he working for?
5054Then how did she get it?
5054Then she is dancing at the Mayfair yet?
5054Then what did he do? 5054 Then who did get it, do you think?"
5054Then why are you here?
5054There could not have been any substitution?
5054There-- see? 5054 They have submarines in Germany, do n''t they?
5054They have? 5054 They?"
5054This? 5054 Those people in there,"he nodded his head back in the direction of the Millefleurs,"do you suspect them?
5054To what am I indebted for this pleasure?
5054To you?
5054Walter, you''ll come, too?
5054Walter,almost shouted Kennedy,"I''m over at the Washington Heights Hospital with Dr. Barron-- you remember Barron, in our class at college?
5054Was any doctor called?
5054Was it incontestible without the suicide clause?
5054Was she a patron, too?
5054Was your husband a man of neurotic tendency, as far as you could judge?
5054Well, then,I persisted,"body- snatchers, medical students?"
5054Well, what do you think of that?
5054Well?
5054Well?
5054Well?
5054Wh- what does it all mean?
5054What are you doing, mixed up in this?
5054What can I do for you?
5054What did she do with it?
5054What did you discover?
5054What did you do that for?
5054What do you know about Mrs. Brainard? 5054 What do you make of that, Professor Kennedy?"
5054What do you mean?
5054What do you mean?
5054What do you see, Walter?
5054What do you suppose is in that, Kennedy?
5054What do you think of him?
5054What do you think of it yourself?
5054What does anything amount to?
5054What does he want?
5054What does this mean?
5054What have you done since?
5054What have you found?
5054What is it?
5054What is it?
5054What is it?
5054What is on that other point?
5054What is the Red Brotherhood?
5054What is the latest from the Near East?
5054What is this principle? 5054 What is this, anyhow-- gang- war?"
5054What is this-- a gathering of the clans? 5054 What then?"
5054What was it?
5054What was left? 5054 What was that?"
5054What was the purpose of that outburst?
5054What were you writing?
5054What''s it all about?
5054What''s that, those little spots on her tongue and throat? 5054 What''s that?"
5054What''s that?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s the lay?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the matter?
5054What''s the news from Washington, Burke? 5054 What''s this-- a zoo?"
5054What''s this?
5054What''s this?
5054What-- Gladys-- you--"Florence-- tell them-- it is n''t so-- is it? 5054 What-- leave him here-- alone-- in the last days?
5054What?
5054What?
5054What?
5054When did you first notice the interference with the Turtle?
5054Where are the papers in the case, the documents showing the application for the patent, for instance?
5054Where away?
5054Where did you find it?
5054Where does he get the supply to sell?
5054Where is Borland''s office?
5054Where is Nordheim?
5054Where is his office?
5054Where is it?
5054Where is my hat-- wh- where am I? 5054 Which end of the rubber works is it?"
5054Which tong does he belong to?
5054Who are these men, Conrad?
5054Who do you suppose could have sent it?
5054Who has been hounding him?
5054Who have rival companies?
5054Who is Nordheim?
5054Who is it?
5054Who is that?
5054Who is this girl Agnes who discovered Miss Blaisdell?
5054Who was caught in your kitchen, Mr. Pitts, and, to escape detection, killed your faithful chef and covered his own traces so cleverly?
5054Who was it?
5054Who was this madman? 5054 Who were the others?"
5054Who would have known the new process of healing wounds? 5054 Who,"asked Kennedy,"was chiefly interested in the rubber works where Cushing was formerly employed?"
5054Who-- who is this Thornton?
5054Who?
5054Who?
5054Whom did he call?
5054Why all this secrecy?
5054Why did n''t you say that before?
5054Why impossible?
5054Why, what do you mean?
5054Why, what''s the trouble, Mr. Willoughby? 5054 Why, why do you and Mr. Andrews worry me?
5054Why,she asked with real alarm,"is he so very badly?"
5054Why? 5054 Why?"
5054Wo n''t you come back to the house for dinner?
5054Would you fight such a move?
5054Yes,I said,"but will one of us have to watch here all the time?"
5054Yes-- how did you know his name?
5054You are already holding it up?
5054You are going into town to- morrow?
5054You called in Dr. Forden the last night?
5054You can tell it all when the chief takes you to headquarters, see?
5054You do n''t know?
5054You do n''t mean to say that you attach any importance to a dream?
5054You expect us to believe that?
5054You get me?
5054You had had no quarrel?
5054You have heard, I suppose, of the strange death of Price Maitland?
5054You have known Mrs. Maitland a long time?
5054You have n''t given this letter out to the press?
5054You have no idea who the murderer might be?
5054You have not given up hope in the appeal?
5054You have theories of your own on the case?
5054You knew that they had discovered the poisoned wall- paper?
5054You know where that stuff will land you, I presume?
5054You mean he refused to talk?
5054You met him at the Naval building, that night, do n''t you remember?
5054You recall the peculiar marking on the nose of those bullets? 5054 You recall,"he began,"that no one seemed to know just who took the jewels in both the cases you first reported?
5054You remember my use of the sphygmomanometer?
5054You saw it?
5054You see that fellow, Coke Brodie? 5054 You see, Walter,"he smiled,"how soon one gets into a habit?
5054You think he was bitten by a snake?
5054You want me to stay here until the last minute so that I can overhear whether any alarm is given for her? 5054 You were his personal physician?"
5054You were sent for by Mrs. Phelps, that last night, I believe, while Phelps was still alive?
5054You will keep me advised of any progress you make in the case?
5054You''ll be within call, if we let you go now, any time that we want you?
5054You''ll do that, Walter?
5054''Look, do n''t you see it?
5054A half- hour later, when he had left and had gone to the hotel, I asked Kennedy suspiciously,"Why did you expose your hand to Hollins, Craig?"
5054All the way she kept crying over and over:''Look, do n''t you see it?
5054And have you had time to study the records?
5054And if it was his conspiracy, would he succeed in tempting his friend, Miss Winslow, to fall in with this glittering offer?
5054Any clues?"
5054Any dizziness?"
5054Are n''t you going to the Novella this morning?"
5054Are you game to go in?"
5054Are you going to keep that up?
5054Are you going?"
5054Assuming the presence of conine, where did it come from?"
5054At last he leaned over and asked quickly,"Can I trust you?"
5054Brainard?"
5054Brainard?"
5054Brainard?"
5054But did he do it himself or did some one else do it?
5054But had he taken anything lately, either of his own volition or with the advice or knowledge of any one else?"
5054But how did you know that?
5054But now that I am here, I wonder if it is possible that I could bring any influence to bear to see your husband?"
5054But what was it she had really seen?
5054By George, it does look badly for them, does n''t it, when you come to think of it?
5054By telepathy?
5054By the way, who else is there in the immediate family?"
5054Ca n''t you see Doctor Forden?"
5054Can not you come and advise me?
5054Can we visit the mausoleum to- night?"
5054Can you come to the Municipal Hospital-- right away?"
5054Can you help me out with it?"
5054Can you meet me to- night?
5054Clendenin?"
5054Could it be that he was playing a game with Carton and had given him a double cross?
5054Could she have been poisoned by these phosphorescent bacilli?
5054Count Wachtmann''s car is there?
5054Craig evidently had the same thought in his mind, however, for he continued:"Was it a woman who killed the chef?
5054Craig, are you sure nobody is hoaxing you?"
5054Did n''t I just tell you I had n''t heard from her until I called up the theatre just now?"
5054Do n''t you know that synthetic rubber would ruin the business system that I have built up here?"
5054Do you know, the scientific slaying of human beings has far exceeded organised efforts at detection?
5054Do you see how those strokes of the long letters are-- well, wobbly?
5054Do you see the closet?"
5054Do you want to come along?
5054Dr. Ross, I think, is acquainted with the new and remarkable theories of Dr. Sigmund Freud, of Vienna?"
5054Gentlemen of the press?"
5054Had he been in league with them, executing a flank movement to divert our attention?
5054Had that been what she was concealing?
5054Had the bomb- maker left before we arrived?
5054Had the powers of evil in the city learned that he was weakening and hurried him out of the way at the last moment?
5054Had there been anything more than superstition in the girl''s evident fright?
5054Had you thought of going to- day?"
5054Has not Haddon cast me off?
5054Has some one else been victimised, too?"
5054Have you a pen or a pencil?"
5054Have you ever seen it?"
5054Have you noticed this room?"
5054He came to me originally--""Arnold Masterson?"
5054He paused, then added quickly:"What machine was it in this case?
5054His chauffeur has started the car without waiting for the Count, who is coming down the platform?"
5054How are things going?"
5054How can he?
5054How can we watch both places at once and yet remain hidden?"
5054How could you?"
5054How do I know what you are?"
5054How do you feel to- day?"
5054How much were you stung for?"
5054How was he to profit by it?
5054How were we to get past that door?
5054How would we find it out?
5054How?"
5054I asked myself the usual query of the lawyers and the detectives-- Who would benefit most by the death of Pitts?
5054I believe it was midnight before you finished?"
5054I gasped,"another case before even this one is fairly cleaned up?
5054I suppose Yvonne has shown you one of the letters I am receiving?"
5054I suppose that an expert like Mr. Borland could tell me, perhaps?"
5054I suppose you have noticed the precautions we are taking against intruders?
5054I trust you wo n''t consider it an impertinence if I ask you whether you were aware that Dr. Ross was Mrs. Maitland''s physician?"
5054I wonder if there could have been any jewels buried with him, as Shaughnessy said?
5054I wonder if you could let me have a sample of this cobra venom?"
5054Inert?
5054Is he here?"
5054Is he really guilty?
5054Is it a curse four thousand years old that has fallen on me?"
5054Is n''t it bad enough to hound him, without hounding me, too?
5054Is that the way the Z99 has behaved always lately?"
5054Is that you, Dr. Guthrie?
5054Is that you, Ella?
5054Is there no rest for the wicked?"
5054Just what had Loraine Keith to do with it?
5054Kennedy fingered the now set impressions, then resumed:"Before I answer that question, what else does the spectroscope show?
5054Kennedy?"
5054Meanwhile, Captain, will you explain to Professor Kennedy just how things are?
5054My friend here knows Dr. Lord very well, do n''t you, Walter?"
5054My heavens-- is there still another day of it?
5054Nordheim?"
5054Number seven?
5054Oh, Price-- why did you?
5054Or could it all have been part of a conspiracy?
5054Or did the cadaveric conine develop only in the body after death?
5054Or had it all been pure chance?
5054Ruth looked up at him with tearful eyes wistful with pain,"Would Mr. Kennedy work on it?"
5054Shall I call her?"
5054She is a very handsome and attractive woman-- you have seen her?
5054Should the confederates of Phelps wait?
5054Stand it?
5054Suppose I just drop off at your place?"
5054Suppose we should start and this Kronski should change his plans at the last minute?
5054Tell me-- what has happened?"
5054The nine- o''clock train is five minutes late?
5054The ten- two?
5054Then, improving the opening, I hastened:"Is this Mr. Thornton violent?
5054They will hold the boat for us?
5054Thornton?"
5054Walter, breathe as little of it as you can-- but-- come here-- do you see?--over there, near the other door-- a figure lying on the floor?
5054Was Dr. Ross desperately shifting suspicion from himself?
5054Was Wachtmann a party to it?
5054Was he going to wait until the bomb- maker had finished what he had come to accomplish?
5054Was he, too, crazy?
5054Was it Clendenin?
5054Was it human or wraith?
5054Was it of some one who had visited the tomb, who was surprised there or surprised some one else there?
5054Was it that which Kennedy was driving at disclosing?
5054Was not Kennedy actually taxing her with loving another?
5054Was she acting a part now?
5054Was she herself part of the plot to victimise, perhaps kill, him?
5054Was she in any way responsible?
5054Was she shielding some one?
5054Was she telling the truth?
5054Was the bomb- maker there still?
5054Was there any way of escape?
5054Was there not something still that she was concealing?
5054Was there some secret which medical ethics kept locked in his breast?
5054Was this a case for the oculists, the spiritualists, the Egyptologists, or for a detective?
5054We met him to- day at the country club, a kindly looking, middle- aged fellow?"
5054What are all these pictures?"
5054What are you doing for it?"
5054What black magic was this?
5054What did you mean?"
5054What do you make of it?
5054What do you think of it?"
5054What do you think of that?"
5054What had been her purpose in coming at all?
5054What has happened?"
5054What is he to me, now?"
5054What is it?
5054What is there to forgive?
5054What is this thing, anyhow?"
5054What must they have done to her?
5054What new scientific engine of death was that little hollow cylinder?
5054What reason, I asked myself, was there to suppose that it would be different now?
5054What threat would be used to back this demand on the Phelpses?"
5054What train are you going to take?
5054What was back of it all?
5054What was he doing-- convicting the man over again?
5054What was he preparing to do?
5054What was it, I wondered?
5054What was it-- a strange new mouth- malady that had attacked this notorious adventuress and woman of luxury?
5054What was it?
5054What was the implication of his startling, almost gruesome, discovery?
5054What was the secret hidden in it?
5054What was to be done?
5054What was to be done?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s that?
5054What''s the matter with it?"
5054What''s this?"
5054What, after all, had been the net result of our activities so far?
5054When that went out what was the use?"
5054Where is Clendenin, do you suppose?"
5054Where is it?
5054Where was he?
5054Which window did you say was Borland''s?
5054Who are they?
5054Who knew about the fatal properties of indol?
5054Who put it in the food?
5054Who was it whose voice Brixton had recognised as familiar over Kennedy''s hastily installed detectaphone?
5054Who was this wounded criminal?
5054Who was willing to forego a one- hundred- thousand- dollar prize in order to gain a fortune of many hundreds of thousands?"
5054Who were the men who went on that expedition to the Congo with Borland which you mentioned?"
5054Who will come to the Novella now?"
5054Whose blood was it?
5054Whose were the teeth?"
5054Why can not we make the world see our case as we see it?
5054Why did I come?
5054Why did I come?"
5054Why have I?
5054Will that serve?"
5054Will this appeal be denied, also?
5054Will you come?"
5054Will you merciless detectives drive us all from, place to place with your brutal suspicions?"
5054Will you not go?
5054Would he hesitate a moment to send us all to perdition along with himself?
5054Would she be used to get at the millionaire and his treasures?
5054Would she stop at anything to avoid the scandal and disgrace of the charge of bigamy?
5054Would you like to see why?"
5054Yes-- what?
5054Yes?
5054Yes?
5054Yes?
5054Yes?
5054Yet here was the one great question, Whence had come the impulse that had sent the famous Z99 to her fate?
5054You do n''t think it is anything serious, do you, Doctor?"
5054You have heard of the Indian fakirs who bury themselves alive and are dug up days later?
5054You have read Ellen Key, I presume?
5054You poor creature, do n''t you think a little trip into town might make you feel better?
5054You received the impulses all right?
5054You remember Burke of the secret service?
5054You remember him?
5054You remember the field glass I used?"
5054You remember the girl at the hospital?
5054You see the evident disguise of the roughly written address?"
5054You understand?
5054You will be at your office?"
5054You will excuse us, Captain, for a few hours?
5054You''d never see that in the original, but when it is enlarged you see how plainly visible the tremors of the hand become?
5054You''re sure it is the nine- o''clock train she is due on?
5054asked Kennedy,"and why do you connect it with this case?"
5054in the morning paper?"
5087A Jap, too?
5087A poison?
5087A psychanalysis?
5087A spangle from a sequin dress,he muttered to himself; then, turning to Miss Grey,"Did any one wear such a dress last night?"
5087A visitor?
5087A woman?
5087A wreck-- some spectacular stroke at the nations that are shipping the gold?
5087All of them?
5087And it''s this stuff that somebody has been putting into her tonic?
5087And that indicates?
5087And that is what was on the bullet?
5087And that?
5087And the shot?
5087And with not a word?
5087And you have put Granville Barnes out of the way, first?
5087And you, Miss Euston?
5087And?
5087Another example of a mind confused even on recent events?
5087Any servants?
5087Are you going to take it up?
5087Beriberi-- in New York?
5087But another patient might have known what Marchant was being treated for?
5087But how are you going to get in?
5087But how do you think it could have happened?
5087But what''s its use?
5087But who could have used it?
5087But you know good mushrooms when you see them?
5087But you succeeded finally?
5087But,I cut in,"the hand- bag-- the dinner-- what of them?"
5087Ca n''t anything be done to save my father in spite of himself?
5087Ca n''t you come and see Jose, Professor Kennedy? 5087 Can you make it out?
5087Could it be some one who is projecting a deadly wireless force which causes the explosions?
5087Could it have been a robbery?
5087Could it have been a word for them and half an hour for herself?
5087Could it have been my wife?
5087Could you see?
5087Did you ever see anything like that?
5087Did you get anything out of her?
5087Did you get it?
5087Did you hear a shot?
5087Did you know Captain Shirley?
5087Did you know that the Medical Society were interested in you and your clinic before the demonstration before Professor Gaines was arranged?
5087Did you notice anything else at the dinner-- no matter how trivial?
5087Did you observe anything peculiar?
5087Do you find anything?
5087Do you know yet how the thing was done?
5087Do you really fear that there is something wrong?
5087Do you recall any of his symptoms?
5087Do you recall anything peculiar about the mushrooms?
5087Do you remember anything that happened after that?
5087Do you suppose one of the servants could have been''planted''for the purpose of pulling it off?
5087Do you suppose that is part of Burr''s system, or did Miss Giles lighten her work by putting it into the tonic?
5087Do?
5087Doctor Aitken has never expressed any suspicion?
5087Doctor Chapelle?
5087Doctor Murray is his personal physician?
5087Does that look like agricultural machinery?
5087Done by wreckers, then?
5087Especially if they are women?
5087Favors at each place?
5087Had Captain Shirley any friends in the city?
5087Has Doctor Aitken been here?
5087Has Mr. Kennedy found out anything yet?
5087Has any one seen my daughter?
5087Has any one told you that Garretson''s car went down the river road, too?
5087Has anybody-- died?
5087Has anything happened here? 5087 Have it?
5087Have you any suspicion about when the robbery took place?
5087Have you discovered anything?
5087Have you done any investigating yourself?
5087Have you ever heard anything more that he did?
5087Have you ever heard of Teresa de Leon?
5087Have you found anything?
5087Have you found anything?
5087Have you found anything?
5087Have you found out anything?
5087Have you found out yet?
5087Have you made any attempt to examine it?
5087Have you seen anything-- er-- suspicious about this Kato?
5087Have you taken any other precautions now that you did n''t take before?
5087He will come?
5087How about the food?
5087How about the robbery?
5087How could they have been taken, do you think?
5087How did Mrs. Gaines become interested in the thing?
5087How did he die?
5087How did the fire start?
5087How did you first hear of it?
5087How did you get away from the watchman?
5087How do you account for his strange actions?
5087How do you suppose I''ll be able to get out there, now?
5087How has this machine been improved? 5087 How is she, anyway?"
5087How is that?
5087How is that?
5087How was it?
5087How was that?
5087I believe you have a patient, a Miss Virginia Blakeley?
5087I believe you were acquainted with Senior Barrios, who died to- night?
5087I may keep this?
5087I may look over the office?
5087I may take some of these samples to study myself?
5087I suppose there is no objection to my seeing Doctor Haynes?
5087I suppose you know that Senor Barrios is very seriously ill?
5087I suppose you never heard the story of the Antilles?
5087I suppose you''ve noticed over Miss Blakeley''s nose a red sore?
5087I think I have a prior claim there, have n''t I?
5087Illness-- robbery?
5087In what way?
5087Indeed?
5087Is Barrios any better?
5087Is anything missing from his room?
5087Is everybody daffy over those little islands? 5087 Is he any better?"
5087Is it a clue or a stall?
5087Is it all right?
5087Is it in my hands?
5087Is it possible that she can be in this revolutionary propaganda?
5087Is that Englishwoman a member of the cult?
5087Is there a place in town where I can get the films in this developed quickly?
5087Is there any one in the hotel whom you might suspect?
5087Is there anything more you wish to ask?
5087Is there still time to catch the last morning edition of the Star, Walter?
5087Is-- Lane-- hiring the men-- himself?
5087It''s a pretty ticklish piece of business, then?
5087It''s something like that you meant, I presume, when you called it a''phantom destroyer''a moment ago?
5087Jackson''s?
5087Just what do you mean?
5087Just what was it you overheard?
5087Know him? 5087 Korsakoff''s syndrome?"
5087Lane, may I install this thing in your telegraph- room outside?
5087Like carbon- monoxide poisoning?
5087Located in one of the best protected and most inaccessible parts of the body,Kennedy considered, slowly,"how could the pituitary be reached?
5087May I have your car to- night?
5087May I try something?
5087Message?
5087Might this present trouble be a recurrence of the old trouble?
5087Miss Blakeley? 5087 Mrs. Blakeley, may I trouble you to get that beauty mask which your daughter wore?"
5087No clue yet to my crank?
5087No one else has felt any ill effects from the supper, I suppose?
5087No one has been down on the wreck yet?
5087No question?
5087No, but I hope it''s something I can add to my report?
5087Not shot?
5087Nothing? 5087 Now that we''re here,"I whispered,"what can we do?"
5087Of twenty million dollars? 5087 Oh yes"--she recalled herself--"I suppose you know something of his gems?
5087Oh, I hope he will find something Wo n''t you go to him and tell him to hurry?
5087Oh, Mr. Kennedy, have you heard?
5087Or of who sent the telegram?
5087Perhaps some drug?
5087Perhaps?
5087Petromortis?
5087Queer about that Barnes case, is n''t it?
5087Quick-- what DO you mean?
5087Robbery?
5087Rodman-- can you-- forgive me?
5087Roger Cranston?
5087Sandoval had warned against this De Leon?
5087See the bands gradually fade?
5087Seems as if she was a good drawing- card for the house, does n''t it?
5087Shadowing the shadowers?
5087So,returned Chapelle, drawing back and placing his head on one side as he nodded it with each word,"you think I''ve spoiled her looks?
5087So?
5087Some one placed the wrong salt in there-- took out oxygen, added nitrogen, instead of removing carbon dioxide?
5087Some poisonous Amanita got mixed with the edible mushrooms?
5087That?
5087The planters are not putting in modern machinery, then?
5087Then Hampton Haynes has been here?
5087Then Wardlaw did n''t attend her himself?
5087Then how was he killed?
5087Then it was an accident?
5087Then one of the ramekins was poisoned?
5087Then she was not a patient?
5087Then that is how Traynor died?
5087Then that would mean that they might have been taken by any one, do n''t you see? 5087 Then there are other causes?"
5087Then this is really the second attack of the morbid sleep?
5087Then what is it for?
5087Then you know Mr. Sandoval also?
5087Then you made no effort to find out?
5087Then you think Doctor Wardlaw has it, too?
5087Then you think that some one present placed something in the tea?
5087Then you''ll go down to Nitropolis?
5087Then you''re going to desert us?
5087There was no one else in the kitchen while you prepared them?
5087They''ve called the new plant Nitropolis-- rather a neat name for a powder- works, do n''t you think?
5087To come here?
5087Was any one else here?
5087Was she committed by her husband?
5087Was there anything that might give you a hint of what had happened?
5087Well, doctor,demanded the detective as he entered,"what''s the verdict?"
5087Well,I exclaimed, as we passed through the dining- room,"what was all that?"
5087Were there candles?
5087Were you acquainted with a Captain Shirley?
5087What about that little bottle of keratin?
5087What are the beads?
5087What are the seeds?
5087What are the symptoms?
5087What are you doing?
5087What can this thing be?
5087What can you do?
5087What could she want?
5087What could we do, just two girls, all alone? 5087 What did Miss Hackstaff do?"
5087What did you do?
5087What did you think of her?
5087What do you know about him?
5087What do you make of it yourself?
5087What do you make of that Dolores incident?
5087What do you make of that?
5087What do you suppose it is?
5087What do you think of the spangle?
5087What do you think?
5087What else might there be?
5087What good will it do, Lewis?
5087What has happened? 5087 What has happened?"
5087What have you done?
5087What is Miss Belleville''s interest in Karatoff?
5087What is it you suspect?
5087What is it, Carl?
5087What is it-- for God''s sake?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is it?
5087What is known about him?
5087What is that?
5087What is the trouble?
5087What made you turn in here?''
5087What makes you think he has been poisoned?
5087What makes you think it is beriberi, of all things?
5087What of him?
5087What shall we do next?
5087What sort of craft is this other?
5087What sort of place is it?
5087What was in it?
5087What was the matter? 5087 What''s henbane?"
5087What''s that? 5087 What''s that?"
5087What''s the big story here now?
5087What''s the big story?
5087What-- you here, Maude?
5087When did you receive it?
5087When does the next shipment start?
5087When is the demonstration?
5087Where are the others?
5087Where is my nail file-- and brush?
5087Where''s Gertrude?
5087Where?
5087Who are the others? 5087 Who else is there in the household?"
5087Who else was there?
5087Who is Karatoff, anyhow?
5087Who is she?
5087Who is the little manicure girl?
5087Who is this Julia Giles?
5087Who is this Kato?
5087Who was interested enough to plot this postponement of the wedding until the danger to the fortune was finally removed?
5087Who was she?
5087Who were in the supper- party?
5087Who were these agents sent over to wage this secret war at any cost?
5087Who?
5087Whose is it? 5087 Why do you fear for your sister and Mr. Everson?
5087Why not?
5087Why, do you know what I''ve discovered?
5087Why, what was that?
5087Why, what''s the trouble?
5087Why-- what is this?
5087Why?
5087Will Mr. Lane go with you?
5087Will she live?
5087Will you let me have one of the blood smears?
5087Would he like that, too?
5087Would you come out to the Key with me?
5087Would you like to go up there and see them?
5087You had done nothing that might have been dangerous?
5087You have a vacuum cleaner, I suppose?
5087You have engaged Professor Kennedy?
5087You have formed no theory of your own?
5087You have heard of a Dr. Carl Chapelle?
5087You have no idea what could have caused it?
5087You have no idea who it was?
5087You know her?
5087You know him?
5087You know him?
5087You never cared for her?
5087You prepared the mushrooms yourself?
5087You remember the paper I gave Mrs. Cranston when the excitement in the hall broke loose?
5087You remember,she cried, breathlessly,"you said that a jequirity bean was sent to Captain Shirley?"
5087You saw her?
5087You think there is danger, then?
5087You were all in the kitchen?
5087You will let me know-- if there is-- any hope?
5087You would like to get at the truth, if I promise to hold the story back?
5087You would?
5087You-- don''t think Doctor Chapelle had anything to do with it?
5087You-- you do not think it could be the mushrooms-- that have caused Mr. Mansfield''s illness, do you?
5087''Who took those letters?''
5087Above all, how was I, on the outside, to find out?
5087Above all, what had this to do with the mysterious phantom slayer that had wrecked so much of the works in less than a week?
5087Above all, what was it they had planned for the launching?
5087Above all, who was it?
5087And had Barnes really been the victim of an attack-- or of an accident?
5087And then?
5087Anthony?"
5087Anything new?
5087Are n''t the freckles gone?"
5087Are you ready, Whiting?"
5087As the music started up again, I heard her say,"Ca n''t we have just one more dance?"
5087But about whom?
5087But had Lewis, with a quick flash of genius, sought to cover up something, protect somebody?
5087But if the bit that I gave this fellow causes such distress, what would a larger quantity do?"
5087But the other?
5087But what could any one want with a yacht?"
5087But who knows how long that will last?
5087But who was it?
5087By whom do you suppose he really was sent?"
5087Ca n''t we DO something?"
5087Can not you get in to see me as a doctor or friend?
5087Carita Belleville, the dancer, you know?"
5087Could it be a signal of trouble?
5087Could it be that?"
5087Could it have been Hampton?
5087Could that be the scheme?
5087Could there be some latent jealousy?
5087Could this be a case of that sort?
5087Cranston?"
5087Did Gage know more about these mysterious happenings than appeared?
5087Did he expect to see the fast express cruiser, lurking like a corsair about the islands of the river?
5087Did he have some suspicion of Mrs. Anthony?
5087Did not this, I asked myself, indicate plainly enough that Leslie might be right in his suspicions of beriberi?
5087Did the newspapers ever do anything but harm to your poor dear father?
5087Did the same explanation shed any light on the mystery of the nautch- girl and the jequirity bean sent to Shirley?
5087Did they know more of this Mexican gun- running business than Marlowe had hinted at?
5087Do n''t you see it?"
5087Do n''t you see?
5087Do n''t you see?
5087Do n''t you suppose I could predict the nature of any report he would make?"
5087Do you think he was posing?"
5087Do you think we can get there in a car before it''s dark?"
5087Do you want me to tell you, young lady?"
5087Gaines?"
5087Grady?"
5087Had Chapelle ignorantly done something that would leave its scar forever?
5087Had I been finding food for suspicion because I was myself suspicious?
5087Had Jose been making love to another woman at the same time that he was engaged to Eulalie Sandoval?
5087Had Lane really been in it?
5087Had Mrs. Gaines expressed her own self-- or was it Karatoff-- or Marchant-- or Errol?
5087Had Mrs. Snedden been killed by the carbonic oxide?
5087Had Norma instinctively fled from his attentions?
5087Had he been posing before Kennedy, and were they really trying to put Mrs. Cranston out of the way?
5087Had he discovered something that it was inconvenient to know?
5087Had he done any real deep diving?"
5087Had he known that Leontine had been with Sydney on the deck?
5087Had his better nature yielded to his worse?
5087Had it anything to do with the dispute in the hotel which Kenmore had witnessed?
5087Had it anything to do with the"tonic"?
5087Had it been an accident, after all?
5087Had it been deliberately placed there, it flashed over me, in order to compromise Madeline Hargrave and divert suspicion from some one else?
5087Had it been done for the purpose of inflicting a more frightful wound if it struck the captain?
5087Had it been interest in Errol that had led her to visit the laboratory?
5087Had it been interest in Leontine or in the dining- room that had drawn him thither?
5087Had it been that I had distrusted the woman merely because I was suspicious of the type, both male and female?
5087Had it been the same person who had sent the single jequirity bean?
5087Had revenge or jealousy brought her to New York, or was she merely a tool in the hands of another?
5087Had she been overcome first and, in a stupor, been unable to move to save herself?
5087Had she misinterpreted his attentions to Mrs. Rogers?
5087Had some one again tampered with the apparatus?
5087Had some one been using her, and now was afraid of her and sought to get her out of the way for safety?
5087Had some one hoaxed him into a wild- goose chase, after all?
5087Had the party thought it out and were they now playing the game with the main chance in view?
5087Had we been getting too close on her trail, or had Mrs. Anthony been attacked?
5087Have you any idea?"
5087Having failed to stop the work, failed to kill Marlowe-- what was left?
5087How can I ever thank you for getting me out of it?"
5087How can I help you?"
5087How did she get there-- and why?
5087How do you feel?"
5087How does Shirley fit into this thing?"
5087How does it work?"
5087How had Shirley met his death, and why?
5087How is it, then?"
5087How?
5087I can not see how it could be due to poisoning, can you?"
5087I suppose it never occurred to the police that the rubber dagger might have covered up a peculiar poisoning?
5087If orders had been given for such secrecy by Barry Euston, how could my despatch do any good?
5087If she had sent it to him, was it as a threat?
5087If there was a plot and Barnes had been a victim, what was its nature?
5087Is Doctor Burr''s system better?"
5087Is Mrs. Wardlaw any better?"
5087Is he RIGHT?"
5087Is it polyneuritis of beriberi-- or something else?"
5087Is there anything new?"
5087Is there more still?"
5087Kennedy was evidently firing, but at what?
5087Kennedy?"
5087Killed by a rubber dagger?
5087Lane?"
5087Marbury?"
5087Marchant?"
5087Might not Kato have been forced or enticed into a scheme that promised a safe return and practically no chance of discovery?
5087My work is so far in advance of any that the conservative psychologists do that he would naturally feel hostile, would he not?"
5087Oh, Professor Kennedy, what is it?
5087Oh, ca n''t you take up the case and look into it?"
5087Oh, what shall I do?
5087Or did it mask some deeper, more sinister motive?
5087Or was he one of the few who were honest and careful?
5087Or was he really exercising some occult power?
5087Or was her own brother the murderer of Eulalie''s lover?
5087Or was it more than that?
5087Or was it weakness following the high mental tension of her own hypnotization?
5087Page?"
5087Perhaps you have heard of the Old Grove Amusement Park, which failed?
5087Perhaps-- but what was the game?
5087Rogers?"
5087Say, what do you think we are?
5087See?"
5087Should we run and desert the train for which we had dared so much?
5087Slowly the question was shaping in my mind, was it, as Karatoff would have us believe, an accident?
5087Snedden?"
5087Sprague, can you mount that on the plane?"
5087Terrible, was n''t it?
5087The point is, veratrine from what source?
5087The woman turned to him:"Suppose this news of the robbery is out?
5087Then how could it have occurred?
5087Then, scarcely waiting for her even to nod, he added:"What did he say?
5087Then, too, why had she been here at all?
5087Then, with an anxious glance at the rest of us,"Is your sister any better?"
5087Then, without suggesting that we were more than casually interested,"What does the Street think of it?"
5087They mentioned the name of Granville Barnes, treasurer of father''s company--""Is that so?"
5087Thomas?"
5087Thomas?"
5087To whom do these deadly germs point?
5087Traynor?"
5087Treasure?
5087Under the circumstances, might not his professional reputation be at stake?
5087Was Aitken suspiciously interested in the pretty nurse-- or was she suspiciously interested in him?
5087Was everything all right?
5087Was he jealous of Lane, or did his words have a deeper meaning?
5087Was he secretly working with them still?
5087Was he still employed by the insurance company?
5087Was he trying to estimate the relative popularity of the two in this strange group?
5087Was he working for two masters?
5087Was it Barnes?
5087Was it a case of gas poisoning?
5087Was it a suicide?
5087Was it a suspicion of which she had not told us?
5087Was it arteriosclerosis for which you were treating him?"
5087Was it because the quest seemed to be leading away from himself?
5087Was it connected with the rumors we had heard of gun- running to Mexico?
5087Was it fear or suspicion?
5087Was it fear, hate, love, jealousy?
5087Was it merely the unpleasant notoriety?
5087Was it possible that Sandoval had one of those Jekyll- Hyde natures which seem to be so common in some of us?
5087Was it possible?
5087Was it that consciously or unconsciously she was taking the slender dancer as her model?
5087Was it, in a sense, retribution?
5087Was n''t she competent?"
5087Was one of her lovers the murderer of Anitra''s brother?
5087Was she looking for Gage, I wondered?
5087Was she playing with Sydney, seeking to secure his influence to further her schemes?
5087Was she wrecked, at last, after all?
5087Was some one using a band of these crooks for ulterior purposes?
5087Was that a clever attempt at confession and avoidance on his part?
5087Was there a plot to frustrate Everson''s plans?
5087Was this another of that sort?
5087Was this such a case?
5087Were they playing a game against each other?
5087Were they working together, or were they really opposed?
5087What brings you out here at such an hour?"
5087What can you do now?"
5087What could be done?
5087What could be the purpose of her visit?
5087What could it mean?
5087What did it all mean and why should Mrs. Blakeley pay money to an old woman, a charity patient?
5087What did it all mean?
5087What did it all mean?
5087What did it mean, if anything?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did it mean?
5087What did the treachery of one member of the expedition mean?
5087What did you find when you entered, sergeant?"
5087What difference could it have made if Lane had a free hand in managing the shipment of treasure for the company?
5087What do you mean?"
5087What else could they do with it?
5087What good would it do if, after hours, his cleverness might solve the cipher-- too late?
5087What gruesome mystery had been unveiled by the anonymous letter which had first excited our curiosity?
5087What if a hint like this got abroad among his rich clientele?
5087What is it all about?"
5087What letters?''
5087What of it and what of its secret sender?
5087What shall I do?"
5087What should I do?
5087What strange power could it be that we could not see or feel in broad daylight?
5087What takes you down there, Burke?"
5087What was back of it all?
5087What was it he was after?
5087What was it that Mrs. Blakeley so feared?
5087What was it that had made this beautiful woman such a wreck?
5087What was it?
5087What was it?
5087What was its purpose?
5087What was the cause?
5087What was the matter?
5087What was the motive back of this sinister murder that had been so carefully planned that no one would ever suspect a crime?
5087What was the part played by Carita Belleville?
5087What was the secret locked in her silent lips?
5087What was there in the motives that actuated them?
5087What were they?
5087What will happen?
5087What would she do next?
5087Where are they?
5087Where''s Kennedy?"
5087Which is it here?"
5087Which is it-- yes or no?"
5087Which might be using the other?
5087Who can tell?"
5087Who dum- dummed and poisoned the bullet?
5087Who else is stricken?"
5087Who had sent the anonymous telegram to Eulalie so soon after it had been evident that Kennedy had entered the case?
5087Who had shut her up?
5087Who was in it?
5087Who was it who had deserted, as I had heard over the wire?
5087Who was it?
5087Who was it?
5087Who was she, friend or foe?
5087Who was their agent?
5087Who, then, was their agent who had fired the shot?
5087Whose own fingers, in spite of antiseptics and manicures, point inexorably to a guilty self?"
5087Why Aitken''s solicitude in asserting that he was?
5087Why did he place them in the safe so soon, instead of wearing them the rest of the evening?"
5087Why had he so persistently sought her?
5087Why had it been done and where had the cultures come from?
5087Why had she followed him?
5087Why have they fled?
5087Why her anxiety to know whether Wardlaw himself was affected?
5087Why is it?
5087Why should it be hanging about?
5087Why was he watching Mrs. Rogers?
5087Why, do you want it?"
5087Will you wait here?"
5087Would she carry the secret with her, after all?
5087Would that suggest anything to you?"
5087Would the antitoxin work?
5087Would they never bring him up?
5087Would you like to come with me?
5087Would you mind stepping down around the bend in the hall?"
5087Yet how explain the apparent success with Cynthia?
5087You recall the brightness of her eyes?
5087You will pardon me if I do a little telephoning-- through the central office of the detective bureau?
5087what shall I do?"
26396''Simplifies things?'' 26396 A footstep?"
26396Again?
26396Ah?
26396All alone-- may I ask?
26396All right-- what?
26396All right; what next?
26396And Berne?
26396And did you leave her?
26396And do what I asked-- stop attacking us?
26396And followed her?
26396And it''s best to leave things as they are until the coroner arrives.--He''ll be here soon?
26396And it''s her handwriting, the daughter''s?
26396And now?
26396And remember that what I say is ideas only, not knowledge?
26396And say nothing about my speaking of it-- absolutely nothing to anybody? 26396 And the advisability, the necessity, of utter frankness between us?"
26396And the time? 26396 And the word''Pursuit,''with an exclamation point after it?
26396And watched her movements?
26396And yet, it''s your business to inspect and deliver the household''s mail?
26396And you think she will?
26396And you would let him have sixty- five thousand dollars-- if he had to have it?
26396And you''ve taken matters into your own hands.--Did your father send you here-- to me?
26396And you?
26396And, even when you arrest the right man, say nothing of what you owe me for my suggestions? 26396 And,"she continued, with intense malignity,"what was so monstrous in my asking him for money?
26396Any friends here-- have you any friends here?
26396Any news?
26396Any reason for doing that, do you remember? 26396 Anybody in the house hear him come in, or go out?"
26396Anybody move her hat before I came out?
26396Anything else, sir-- special?
26396Are n''t you mistaken about that?
26396Are you quite sure you do n''t want me to give it up? 26396 Are you working on that"--he hesitated hardly perceptibly--"idea?"
26396As one of the reporters pointed out, why is n''t it his game to try to make a fool of you?
26396At once?
26396But he did n''t hire you?
26396But he made no attempt to get in touch with her yesterday? 26396 But my distress, my own hurt pride----""What did your father say about Mildred Brace?"
26396But the alibi?
26396But what happened?
26396But what will it accomplish? 26396 But why should I want to conceal anything that might bring the man to justice?"
26396But you do know her?
26396But you,she asked;"are you sure-- have you the proof?"
26396But, since you''ve been to Pursuit, what do you imply, or say?
26396But,Hastings persisted,"why all this concern for Webster, after his engagement had been broken?"
26396By the way, have you seen Russell again?
26396Ca n''t you see the boy''s suffering? 26396 Can you tell me why you did n''t have the same thoughts about Berne?"
26396Concerning me?
26396Could it be possible,he put the inquiry at last,"that he knew her before the murder?"
26396Could n''t Judge Wilton manage him? 26396 Crown''s seen him, seen Russell?"
26396Did Miss Brace tell you she was coming to Sloanehurst?
26396Did he buy her off?
26396Did n''t he? 26396 Did you ask the judge about it?"
26396Did you ever tell Mr. Webster of the extent of your generous feeling toward him, Mr. Sloane-- in dollars and cents?
26396Did you find any weapon?
26396Did you know Mildred Brace intended to clear out, leave Washington, today?
26396Did you see the address on it?
26396Did you tell Judge Wilton you knew her?
26396Did you think that, judge?
26396Do I make myself clear?--Do you want me to go into further detail?
26396Do I see what?
26396Do n''t you see I must have facts to go on-- if I''m to help you?
26396Do n''t you see what I mean?
26396Do you believe it now?
26396Do you care to ask anything more?
26396Do you know about the arrangements for the removal of the body?
26396Do you know that much about her?
26396Do you suspect him? 26396 Do you, Sloane?"
26396Does-- didn''t anybody here know this woman?
26396Eh?
26396Either of you cry out?
26396Excellent,assured Hastings, and put in a suggestion:"You''ve heard of the fleeting footsteps Miss Sloane reported?"
26396Find any steel on the floor?
26396Find anything?
26396First, what was it?
26396For one question,qualified Hastings;"less than a minute''s talk-- one word,''yes''or''no''?
26396For what?
26396Granting your absurd theory,she continued,"why should I have feared him?
26396Had she written to Mr. Webster recently?
26396Has Webster told you this?
26396Hastings, you saw the reporters this afternoon-- I''ve been wondering-- they asked me-- did they ask you whether you suspected the valet-- Jarvis?
26396Have you a hand- mirror?
26396Have you any idea, Mrs. Brace, as to who killed your daughter-- or could have wanted to kill her?
26396Have you ever seen that dagger before?
26396Have you kept back anything else?
26396Have you seen him?
26396He did n''t have an aeroplane in his hip pocket, did he? 26396 Here, Mr. Sloane,"he ordered,"hold that torch closer, will you?"
26396How about Arthur? 26396 How can we get her?"
26396How did you go out-- by what door?
26396How did you know that?
26396How do you know that?
26396How do you know that?
26396How long ago?
26396How long had you been out then, altogether?
26396How long have you been here?
26396How much, Miss Sloane, do you think my silence is worth?
26396How much?
26396How''s that?
26396How?
26396How?
26396How?
26396I may ask you a few questions then?
26396I remember the judge said,''Is she dead?'' 26396 I said, on the''phone, it was something of advantage to you-- didn''t I?"
26396I wondered if you would n''t stop your interviews-- your accusations?
26396I''d hardly describe''em to his personal representative, would I? 26396 I''ll tell you, Crown,"he said, finally;"I''ll work on any line that can lead to the guilty man.--What do you know?"
26396I?
26396If I did n''t, do you think I''d have tried for a moment to conceal what he said to me?
26396If I''d do what?
26396If you thought I''d-- what?
26396In an ugly mood, are they? 26396 In the grey envelope?"
26396Interested in that?
26396Is it your daughter''s writing?
26396Is n''t it Russell? 26396 Is n''t it enough that I know it-- or advance it as a theory?"
26396Is n''t that so, judge?
26396Is she sane?
26396Is that what they''re saying?
26396Is there anything that you have n''t told-- anything you''ve decided to suppress?
26396Is this the flap of that envelope; or, better still, are these fragments of words and the word''Pursuit''in your daughter''s handwriting?
26396It is-- and here''s another thing: when''s Mrs. Brace going to break loose?
26396It''s plain enough, is n''t it? 26396 It''s the thing to do, is n''t it?"
26396Let me see you a moment, will you?
26396Making a fool of me, is he?
26396May I come in?
26396Might that be the flap of that grey envelope?
26396Money?
26396My daughter? 26396 No.--Then, there might have been a struggle?
26396Notice anything peculiar about Mr. Russell last night?
26396Now that we understand each other, Mrs. Brace, what do you say?
26396Now, I ask you, as a lawyer and a sensible man, who''s going to believe that she came out here without having notified you of her coming? 26396 Now, Mr. Hastings, what can I do for-- tell you?"
26396Now, what was that apparently incriminating incident?
26396Now,Hastings began, in genial tone;"did you get anything from him?"
26396Now,he asked her,"what can you tell us about that letter?"
26396Now,she said, having reconstructed the crime and described the subsequent behaviour of the tragedy''s principal actors;"now who''s guilty?"
26396Of what?
26396Oh, do n''t you see? 26396 On whom?"
26396One thing more, Mrs. Brace: did you know your daughter intended to go to Sloanehurst last night?
26396Pieced what together?
26396Prove it, how?
26396Say anything?
26396Several years ago,Hastings goaded, so that Webster pivoted on his heel to face him;"you lost yours when?--last night?--this morning?"
26396She resign?
26396Simultaneously?
26396Sloane''s no dying man, is he? 26396 So money, lack of it, is bothering her as well as Webster!--How much is she in debt?"
26396So she was killed between eleven and midnight?
26396So you think she lied about that letter?
26396Stevens got a good look at him?
26396Still, you can work independently-- retained by Mr. Arthur Sloane-- can''t you?
26396Suppose she refuses?
26396Tell all I know?
26396Tell me, judge; do you think Berne Webster''s guilty?
26396Tell me,she implored;"tell me, Mr. Hastings, do you suspect my father-- or not-- of the----?"
26396That all?
26396That was all, Miss Sloane?
26396That would be Russell''s game, would n''t it?
26396That''s all right, far as it goes,Hastings said;"but does he identify that man as Russell?"
26396That''s great work, for Sunday.--Now, Russell''s room?
26396The matter of personal feeling?
26396The reading public, for instance?
26396Then what?
26396Then, he''d returned to his room, after the murder, and gone out again?
26396Then, we can come to an agreement? 26396 Then, you agree with me?
26396They''re saying that, are they?
26396This Mr. Otis, Mr. Russell; where is he?
26396Threats?
26396Time''s right, location''s right, identification''s right!--Pretty sweet, ai n''t it, old fellow? 26396 To do what, exactly?"
26396Unconsciously?
26396Waiting, are you? 26396 Was he agitated, disturbed?"
26396Was it in a grey envelope?
26396Was that it?
26396Well, did he kill the woman, expecting to find it in her stocking?
26396Well, what of it?
26396Well, what?
26396Well?
26396Well?
26396Well?
26396Were you smoking?
26396Were you uneasy when she failed to come in-- last night?
26396What are you going to do-- now that you know?
26396What are you laughing at?
26396What became of it, then-- the grey envelope?
26396What business?
26396What consequences?
26396What difference does it make-- the writing?
26396What do you know?
26396What do you mean by that?
26396What do you mean by that?
26396What do you mean by''again''?
26396What do you mean?
26396What do you mean?
26396What do you mean?
26396What do you stick to that for?
26396What do you suspect?
26396What do you want to know?
26396What do you want to talk about, Miss Sloane?
26396What do you want?
26396What else?
26396What fair play?
26396What for?
26396What good''s that to me?
26396What have you got to say?
26396What is it?
26396What makes you say that? 26396 What more do you want, to prove his guilt, his abominable guilt?"
26396What movement? 26396 What theory?"
26396What time did you go out?
26396What was he out here for last night if he was n''t jealous of the girl? 26396 What were they doing?"
26396What would-- that is,he forced himself to the appeal,"I was wondering-- anything occur to you?
26396What''s got into you, anyway? 26396 What''s he doing?"
26396What''s that?
26396What''s that?
26396What''s the matter with me?
26396What''s the matter, Tom?
26396What''s the matter?
26396What''s the use?
26396What''s this?
26396What''s up?
26396What''s wrong?
26396What''s your object, Hastings?
26396When I think of Russell''s alibi----"Have we mentioned Russell?
26396When can I see him, then?
26396When did it stop-- out here?
26396When will you do that?
26396When?
26396When?
26396Where do you think you are, Arthur, on the witness stand? 26396 Where was it?"
26396Which way did the footsteps go?
26396Who did, judge?
26396Who found her?
26396Who is she?
26396Who reached the body first? 26396 Who told you about-- the whispering?"
26396Who was this passenger?
26396Who would n''t?
26396Who''s guilty? 26396 Who, then?"
26396Who? 26396 Who?"
26396Why did n''t you mail it yourself?
26396Why did she do that?
26396Why did you conceal it?
26396Why did you think she was in love with Mr. Webster, Mr. Russell? 26396 Why do n''t you look at it another way?"
26396Why do n''t you?
26396Why do you say that?
26396Why do you want me here then?
26396Why should I have wanted to do any such thing?
26396Why should n''t he have provided me with money when I asked it?
26396Why would n''t he have had the same motive, hatred of Mildred Brace, a thousand times stronger?
26396Why? 26396 Why?
26396Why? 26396 Why?
26396Why?
26396Why?
26396Why?
26396Why?
26396Why?
26396Will you help me?
26396Wo n''t you go to father at once?
26396Wo n''t you see that those rooms are left exactly as they are until I can have a look at them?
26396Wonderful what a magnet will pick up, ai n''t it?
26396Yes, I know,he said with a smile that was reassuring;"I do n''t look like a particularly helpful old party, do I?"
26396Yes, Miss Sloane?
26396Yes,he replied gently;"if I do n''t distress you----""What is it?"
26396Yes; but what could I do?
26396Yes; that''s true.--Yes, I''ll tell you about that, you and Arthur-- if you''d care to hear?
26396Yes?
26396Yes?
26396Yes?
26396Yes?
26396You accept the alibi, then?
26396You are?
26396You know Mrs. Brace, then? 26396 You know about that, do you?"
26396You know he''s guilty, do n''t you?
26396You mean I''m amusing myself, exerting myself needlessly, as a matter of spite? 26396 You mean,"she added quickly, eyes narrowed,"I suspect-- actually suspect some one in this house?"
26396You mean-- it is n''t enough?
26396You mean----?
26396You say it''s blown up?
26396You see my point, clearly? 26396 You see the blood on it?"
26396You think so?
26396You want my help; is n''t that it?
26396You wanted to see me-- about my daughter?
26396You wanted to see me-- is there anything special?
26396You were afraid, then, that something incriminating might be divulged, were n''t you?
26396You were then at the gate near where she was found, dead?
26396You wo n''t fail me-- tomorrow?
26396You wo n''t have to tell anybody-- anybody at all-- about this, will you-- now?
26396You would n''t want to make a mistake-- would you?
26396You''ll send them away-- whoever it is-- at once?
26396You''ll take my ideas, my theory, work on it and never bring me into it-- in any way? 26396 You''re making me take that action-- ain''t you?
26396You''re working for Webster?
26396You''ve decided that, have you?
26396A glass of water?--just for the tinkling of ice?
26396And I go back to that now: wo n''t you tell me anything more about the discovery of the woman''s body by the two of you-- you and Webster?"
26396And did Crown know that?
26396And had not the mistake driven him into false and valueless interpretations of his entire interview with Webster?
26396And the person I got it from wo n''t spread it around.--That satisfactory?"
26396And the weapon, what about that?
26396And why too late?
26396And yet, that''s what she''s doing-- isn''t she?"
26396And, when he came up with her on the Sloanehurst lawn, did n''t he kill her?
26396Another thing puzzled him: why did Mrs. Brace suspect Arthur Sloane of withholding the true story of what he had seen the night of the murder?
26396Anything?
26396Are there any obstructions there, anything but smooth, open lawn?"
26396Are you going to deny me fair play?"
26396Are you merely being polite?"
26396Are you trying to prostrate me further with impossible theories?
26396Are you working on that line-- at all?"
26396Besides, there are facts to prove that the letter did not go to Webster.--Do you see how your fancied security falls away?"
26396Brace?"
26396Brace?"
26396Brace?"
26396Brace?"
26396Brace?"
26396But Mrs. Brace-- was she clever enough to make that deduction from the known facts?
26396But he looked so-- so uncertain!--Oh, Mr. Hastings, who did kill that woman?"
26396But what are the facts?
26396But what was he doing?
26396But what?"
26396But why bring that story here-- now?
26396But why?"
26396But you knew-- didn''t you?"
26396But, if that was in his mind, he put it down, elaborating the smile to a laughing protest:"That''s going far afield, is n''t it?"
26396Ca n''t I-- what do they call it?--retain you?"
26396Ca n''t you go in now?"
26396Ca n''t you help me there?
26396Ca n''t you let a guilty man hang when he comes forward and puts the rope around his own worthless neck?"
26396Can you disabuse her mind?"
26396Can you say?"
26396Can you tell me why?"
26396Congratulate me, do n''t you?
26396Congratulate me, even if it does step on all those mysterious theories of yours-- that right?"
26396Could n''t he be left in peace?
26396Crown?"
26396Crown?"
26396Did n''t he stay right at Webster''s side when old Hastings interviewed Webster yesterday?
26396Did n''t you feel it?
26396Did one, or two, contain piece or pieces of a bed- slat?
26396Did you believe his fear was n''t for himself when he gagged you that way?"
26396Did you receive, or see, a letter in an oblong, grey envelope in yesterday afternoon''s mail?"
26396Do me a favour, will you?
26396Do n''t you remember?
26396Do n''t you see the danger?"
26396Do n''t you see?
26396Do n''t you, now?"
26396Do you give''em to me?
26396Do you grasp that reasoning?"
26396Do you mean to tell me that?"
26396Do you see that?"
26396Do you think I''d tell it unless I knew there could be not even an excuse for suspecting me?
26396Do you think he will?"
26396Do you, still?"
26396Don''t----""What did Webster whisper to you, across that corpse?"
26396Going to the window, he addressed the summer sky:"Who the devil does the old fool suspect-- Arthur or Berne?"
26396Good idea, ai n''t it?"
26396Got her heart.--Young-- not over twenty- five, would you say?--Not dead long.--Anybody call a doctor?"
26396Guilty?
26396Guilty?
26396Had he magnified Webster''s desire to keep that promise into guilty knowledge of the crime itself?
26396Had she been theorizing, after all?
26396Has she seen Jarvis?"
26396Hastings questioned him again:"Your waking up at that unusual hour last night-- was it because of a noise outside?"
26396Hastings, subjecting the pallid Jarvis to severe scrutiny, asked him:"Was that grey letter addressed to-- whom?"
26396Hastings?"
26396Hastings?"
26396Hastings?"
26396Have I----?"
26396Have you no self- respect, no will, no firmness?
26396He and four other fellows were in a car that went up Hub Hill that night a little after eleven-- a few minutes after.--Hear that?"
26396He gets off safely if the Brace woman ever sees fit to tell-- what?
26396He lowered his voice and asked again:"Mrs. Brace, what do you know?"
26396He put the obvious question:"Judge, am I the first one to hear this-- from you?"
26396He spoke impulsively:"Did you want-- didn''t you feel some impulse, some desire, to go out there when you heard of this murder?"
26396He tried again:"Nothing more, Miss Sloane?
26396He was deliberating: was there nothing more she could tell him?
26396He whittled again, asking her:"You a native of Washington?"
26396Her father?
26396Here, this chair by the window-- so-- and this wreck of a fan, can you use it?
26396How can she know it now?
26396How could she have known that?
26396How did he get from Hub Hill to where Otis picked him up?"
26396How did you happen to be there?"
26396How does he know it?
26396How many times have I told you that?
26396How much of a fool was the woman making of the sheriff, anyway?
26396How, then, did Eugene Russell keep black, Hub Hill mud on his shoes that night if he went the four miles on foot to where Otis picked him up?"
26396I did n''t volunteer it to you, did I?"
26396I said,''How is she hurt?''
26396I take it, you would n''t want it known by the sheriff, even now?"
26396If Mrs. Brace troubles you again, will you let me know about it, at the earliest possible moment?"
26396If she did not suspect Webster, whom did she suspect?
26396In his turn, he was non- committal, retorting:"Do n''t you?"
26396Instead, he inquired:"And that simplifies things?"
26396Is it a bargain, Miss Sloane?"
26396Is it worth while for me to go into Washington?
26396Is n''t that clear?"
26396Is n''t that it, Miss Sloane?"
26396Is n''t that true?"
26396Is n''t that true?"
26396Is n''t that true?"
26396Is n''t the judge here?"
26396Is that what you mean?"
26396It''s gone glimmering!--What do you think of that?"
26396Judge Wilton tell you about that?"
26396Know her well?"
26396Let''s play fair, did n''t he?"
26396Lucille remembered the detective''s misgivings about Jarvis; how else had this woman found that out?
26396May I count on you for that?"
26396May I-- ah- h- h-- do you mind if I look about, for possible hearers?"
26396Me?"
26396Mr. Hastings?
26396Mr. Sheriff-- am I interrupting a private conference?"
26396Mrs. Brace, without speaking, without acknowledging his quiet"Mrs. Brace, I believe?"
26396Now, cool your flushed face in this thin, very thin stream of a breeze-- feel it?
26396Now, did you believe Webster?
26396Of what value are the wild ideas of a nervous man, all to pieces anyway, when he stumbles on a dead woman in the middle of the night?"
26396One of them asked him:"Can you tell us why you followed her out here?"
26396Or did she have more direct information from Sloanehurst than he had thought possible?
26396Or had she relayed to him words that Wilton had put into her mouth?
26396Remember?"
26396Russell?"
26396See any significance in that?"
26396See any way out of it?"
26396See anything else?"
26396See that?"
26396Seeing the judge''s hesitance, he supplemented:"I mean, did you notice anything last night, in his conduct, that would indicate guilt-- or fear?"
26396Serious saints!--Jarvis, the eau de cologne!--You think I do n''t know it?
26396She asked:"And you want-- what?"
26396She showed her first curiosity:"Where did you get that piece of envelope?"
26396She turned to Wilton:"I ask you again, will you help me as I asked you?
26396She whispered, sharp and quick,''Who''s that?''
26396Sheriff?"
26396So far, Tom, you''re mixed up in----""Why ca n''t you wait until he''s through?"
26396So you saw her?"
26396Take it to her myself?"
26396Talk?
26396Tell me: do you think anybody here at Sloanehurst is responsible for this murder?"
26396That right?"
26396That so?"
26396That suggest anything to you?"
26396That was what you intended to give me in confidence, was n''t it?"
26396That you, Hastings?
26396That''s a fair assumption, ai n''t it?"
26396That''s better, is n''t it?"
26396That''s clear enough, is n''t it?
26396That''s it?"
26396That''s what they hired him for-- isn''t it?"
26396The absolute secrecy required, the fact that you buy her silence, pay her to cease her accusations against Berne-- don''t you see?
26396The guest- rooms upstairs-- have the servants straightened them up this morning?"
26396They do n''t call you''Hard Tom Wilton''for nothing, do they?
26396They would n''t pay out real money to have themselves hunted, if they were guilty, would they?"
26396They''d have thrown off that Hub Hill mud pretty quick, would n''t they?"
26396This morning I thought you heard me when I asked him not to let it be known that our engagement was broken?
26396To her, Mrs. Brace was a figure of sinister power, an agent of ugliness, waiting to do evil-- waiting for what?
26396Was Mrs. Brace in communication with Jarvis?
26396Was it possible that Crown wanted to find out whether Hastings was having Jarvis shadowed?
26396Was n''t I ill?
26396Was n''t he following her?
26396Was n''t that it?"
26396Was n''t that it?"
26396Was there no such postoffice as Pursuit?
26396Was this his method of hiding facts in his possession?
26396Webster marry my daughter for money, for sixty- five thousand dollars?
26396Webster urged him, with eyes and voice:"Well?"
26396Webster?"
26396Webster?"
26396Webster?"
26396Webster?"
26396Webster?"
26396Were they?"
26396What are you trying to do-- make people suspect me of the murder- make''em suspect Berne?"
26396What caused the fear which, at the beginning of their interview, had been so apparent?
26396What could he hope to get from her except that which she wanted to tell?
26396What did you think you''d do after you''d overtaken her?"
26396What do they mean, his game?"
26396What do you know-- specially?"
26396What do you say?"
26396What do you say?--Who?"
26396What do you want me to say to him?"
26396What had he done-- except strike to save his own life?"
26396What had your father said about Mildred Brace-- to arouse any such suspicion?"
26396What if Mrs. Brace did take the marked money?
26396What if Webster''s, too, were missing?
26396What is it?"
26396What the devil do you mean by letting that sheriff come in here and subject me to all this annoyance and shock?
26396What the thunder are they talking about?
26396What was she after, money?
26396What were they?"
26396What would that show?
26396What''s its significance?"
26396What''s the use of a clue when you_ know_ a guy''s guilty?
26396What''s written on it?"
26396What''s your theory?"
26396What?"
26396When Wilton still hesitated, he repeated:"What did Webster say when he put his hand over your mouth-- to prevent your outcry?"
26396When did you pick him up?"
26396Where do you get that?
26396Where is he to get all that?
26396Who is she?"
26396Who put that into your head?"
26396Who''s he shielding?
26396Why did he think Sloane had killed Mildred Brace?"
26396Why did n''t I think?
26396Why do n''t they trust me?"
26396Why do n''t you look into that alibi?"
26396Why had he gone out of his way to put a cigar stump into his pocket that night, and to explain that he had had it in his mouth all the time?
26396Why have n''t you said so long ago, Tom?"
26396Why is he afraid of that?
26396Why is n''t it his game to persuade you of my secret knowledge of Gene''s guilt?
26396Why would n''t I do as you ask-- exactly as you ask?"
26396Why''d he refuse to testify before the coroner, then?"
26396Why''s that?"
26396Why, then, is n''t it his game to convince you of Gene''s guilt?
26396Why, then, this anxiety which had driven her to him for help?
26396Why?
26396Why?
26396Will you keep quiet?''
26396Will you?
26396Wo n''t you believe me?"
26396Wo n''t you come in here?"
26396Wo n''t you let me take you to him, now?"
26396Would n''t he get well much faster if he knew it-- knew the suspense was all over-- that neither he nor father''s suspected any more?"
26396Would people say that Webster had given himself away in advance?
26396Would you?"
26396XVII"THE WHOLE TRUTH""Mrs. Brace, good evening.--May I come in?"
26396You came to see me?"
26396You can see her saying that, ca n''t you?
26396You mean the sound of a fall?"
26396You mean you employed her eight months although she was incompetent?"
26396You might have thought that?"
26396You realize what my job is-- do you?"
26396You recognize the force of that, do n''t you?"
26396You saw her-- understand what I mean?"
26396You see?"
26396You see?"
26396You think Webster''s guilty?"
26396You think the woman had put up a fight-- for her life?--and was overpowered?"
26396You told us all you knew-- in the library?"
26396You want me to take any questions to him for you?"
26396You will give me anything, and all the things, that may come to your knowledge as the investigation proceeds?
26396You wo n''t pay any attention to Arthur''s unreasonable attitude, will you?"
26396You''re sure?"
26396Your charge is just what?"
31578''Do n''t you mean to do something for him?'' 31578 ''Had you not better throw the water yourself?''
31578''On this day at the Colonnade''--on what day? 31578 ''Then he did remember?''
31578''We are going to leave this house?'' 31578 ''What does he mean?''
31578''What''s this?'' 31578 ''_ You remember that supper?_''"As the word rang out again I threw wide the door.
31578Always blue? 31578 Am I mad or has the devil joined in the pursuit against me?
31578And Dorothy?
31578And I? 31578 And Quimby?
31578And do you think I care for that? 31578 And have the whole house about our ears?
31578And how came she in here?
31578And if she refuses?
31578And is that all you can tell us? 31578 And so the young gentleman had not the courage to come again himself?"
31578And that was where you left him?
31578And then?
31578And what is that?
31578And what is this young gentleman''s name?
31578And what of her?
31578And when will you be back?
31578And where is that?
31578And you believed her?
31578And you, madam?
31578And your mother?
31578Another recollection?
31578Are you done?
31578Asleep?
31578At what time did this fire start?
31578Barbara''s son?
31578But do n''t you know?
31578But how can you reach her? 31578 But how will you be able to influence Miss Camerden to come down?"
31578But when I am in the cellar, what then?
31578But where can I get it?
31578But why can not I go to my room? 31578 But you sometimes went into the extension?"
31578But you''ve heard of the room?
31578Ca n''t we? 31578 Can you go through the ceremony of marriage?"
31578Careless, eh? 31578 Certainly; did n''t you recognise him?"
31578Could I ask alms or borrow what I could not pay? 31578 Daughter of whom?"
31578Dead?
31578Did Mrs. Latimer tell you?
31578Did he say it was Miss Camerden?
31578Did n''t it drop from your coat- pocket?
31578Did you expect to? 31578 Do you know, missus, I shall have to stay here all night?
31578Do you not wish to speak to him?
31578Do you recognise the hall?
31578Do you remember the dream he related for the delectation of such as would listen?
31578Do you see these bits from a papered wall?
31578Do you think she will recognise your right to summon her to an interview?
31578Do you think so?
31578Do you want me to wash the dishes? 31578 Does Miss Murray still cherish the expectation of being married to- day?
31578Does Miss Murray wear white to- night?
31578Does the sight of him recall anything?
31578Dreadful? 31578 Fire, with a man like you in the house?"
31578First, let me ask,said I,"who has access to your rooms besides your maid?"
31578Frances? 31578 Good likeness, eh?"
31578Had you not better tell me his name?
31578Has the gentleman any appointment here?
31578Have n''t you been in any of the rooms there,--Number 3, for instance?
31578Have you any instructions for me?
31578Have you any suggestions to offer? 31578 Have you anything more to say or do before you leave these rooms?"
31578Have you compared this notice,I pursued,"with such others as you find every day in the papers?"
31578Have you ever heard any one describe this room?
31578Have you looked in that little box since you took it from my hair?
31578Have you no friends?
31578Have you this notice with you?
31578He coughed and----"And what?
31578He? 31578 He?"
31578How came you to know?
31578How can I tell? 31578 How can I, when there falls from everything I touch the devilish thing which took away the life I hated?"
31578How is Miss Murray?
31578How many?
31578How should he know Miss Camerden?
31578How was this lady dressed?
31578How would you set to work? 31578 I pick up?"
31578I?
31578In the house?
31578In the office?
31578In what direction, then, do your suspicions turn?
31578Is it refuge you want?
31578Is it? 31578 Is it?"
31578Is n''t that a bottle to make your eyes dance? 31578 Is n''t there another hall?
31578Is not Miss Glover wealthy? 31578 Is there anything I can do to serve you?"
31578Is this your only book?
31578It was the recipe, then, and not the obituary notice which attracted your attention the night before?
31578Jake, ai n''t you got a match?
31578Jake, can I believe you?
31578Jake? 31578 Lost in the fire?"
31578May I ask who is speaking to me?
31578May n''t I help him look? 31578 Miss Murray?"
31578Money? 31578 Mr. Quimby, did Mrs. Demarest come to the house with Miss Demarest?"
31578Nephew?
31578No beer? 31578 No,"I returned,"not on my own business, but on that of a young gent----""Any one whose name is written here?"
31578No; why, what is that?
31578Not there?
31578Now will you answer my former question? 31578 Oh, what is the matter with me?"
31578Oh, where is Minnie? 31578 On the rear corridor?"
31578On your own business?
31578One of the Witherspoon boys?
31578One of the women now in this house?
31578One that you can tell me?
31578Or some one should succeed in finding----Halloo, what''s that?
31578Or will it be enough if my wife accompanies her?
31578Physically, do you mean, or mentally?
31578Remember that a word might raise suspicion, and that in a case like this----Halloa, what''s that?
31578Shall I go?
31578Shall I not look and see where the girls are? 31578 Shall I take the young lady up myself?"
31578Shall we go up?
31578She was in here just now, was she not?
31578She? 31578 Susan, are you going back on me now?"
31578Tell what paper was on the wall?
31578Then I am to stay in the hall?
31578Then you did not see the woman who died in these rooms?
31578Then you know his name?
31578Then you know it to be empty?
31578Then you were in the house?
31578Then, how came he to be looking out of your window just before the fire broke out?
31578There is room below it for your name and that of your mother, but the space is blank, do you see?
31578There were but eight,faltered the lawyer;"that means, then, all?"
31578They? 31578 This dream- maiden was a woman?"
31578This woman has something to say, or why should she have asked to be confronted with you? 31578 This?"
31578Two rooms; why two? 31578 Warn?"
31578Was it necessary to go hungry?
31578Was it?
31578Was n''t it at the left of the large folding doors and midway to the wall?
31578Was she veiled?
31578Was that Beaton?
31578Was-- was not the door locked?
31578Well?
31578Well?
31578Were we not close enough to discovery, without drawing the attention of the police by such an unnecessary murder? 31578 What are you going to do with-- with Dorothy?"
31578What are you going to do with_ those_?
31578What can I do to oblige you?
31578What could you say?
31578What do you say, Gilbertine?
31578What has happened?
31578What is it now?
31578What is your name?
31578What news?
31578What rooms? 31578 What shall I answer this man if he asks me why I continued to remain in a spot where I have so little business?"
31578What should I know about that man Quimby''s dreadful doings?
31578What story? 31578 What woman, Lydia?
31578What''s that? 31578 What''s this?
31578What''s up? 31578 What''s wrong?"
31578When was that? 31578 Where are your brothers?"
31578Where did that-- that_ thing_ come from?
31578Where is 32?
31578Where is Gilbertine?
31578Where is Quimby?
31578Where shall we go?
31578Where was this vial found?
31578Where''s the money?
31578Where?
31578Which window was it?
31578Who did this overhauling?
31578Who is John Graham?
31578Who saw these two come in?
31578Who was that woman?
31578Why do you ask that? 31578 Why not wait till morning?"
31578Why should a handsome devil like that be treated with any more consideration than another? 31578 Why?
31578Why?
31578Will bed and supper be provided for me here?
31578Will you dance the next waltz with me?
31578Will you give me its number?
31578Yes; where are you?
31578You believe she died from swallowing that drop?
31578You can, of course, inform me where you procured this clipping which you say you brought into the house?
31578You do not feel yourself worthy?
31578You had bought_ that_?
31578You have been there? 31578 You have n''t heard what I''ve said about that?"
31578You know me?
31578You know that? 31578 You remember the vision I had the morning when I was sick?"
31578You saw Quimby,he repeated;"saw his face distinctly looking toward your room from one of the stable windows?"
31578You want to hear the letter?
31578You were at the breakfast- table yesterday morning?
31578You wish it?
31578You''re asking a good deal, are n''t you? 31578 Your name?"
31578_ The ruby has been found!_ Do you want to see the culprit, for there is a culprit? 31578 ''But I can trust you not to tell him?'' 31578 ''Is he spending all this time ransacking the rooms? 31578 ''Where did you get it?'' 31578 ''Would it interest you to know which half?'' 31578 ''Yet if I had had a dollar more or even a ring worth a dollar or so, I might have----Theresa, have you any money at all? 31578 ( Did I say that I had risen when the latter sat?) 31578 A flying from herself or from_ it_? 31578 After Mr. Armstrong went into the room, or before?
31578Alone?
31578And do you mean to say that this room has not been redecorated in ten years?"
31578And how did you repay this confidence on my part?
31578And now you?
31578And now, who''s the boy in the window?
31578And why did I prefer to await developments rather than ask the simplest question of any one about me?
31578And why did we not hear her strident and aggressive tones rising in angry remonstrance at our intrusion?
31578Anguish?
31578Are mothers dearer than sweethearts?
31578At all events, the action drew general attention and caused an instant silence, broken the next minute by an ardent cry:"So your search was futile?"
31578Beaton, am I wrong?"
31578Blake?"
31578But Eunice had a spirit like an angel, and, drawing near him, she said:"Is there anything I can do for you, Cousin John?"
31578But after that do I need to say why I am a wife-- why I am_ his_ wife?"
31578But could I prove it?
31578But if Luke is gone, and William, and Hector, and Barbara''s boy, and Janet,_ how much does that leave for me_?"
31578But if so, what warrant have we that she was not lured there, slaughtered, and made to seem the victim of accident by this unscrupulous man and woman?
31578But if they offered to submit to this themselves?"
31578But what choice?
31578But what device?
31578But where is 32?"
31578But where?
31578But where?
31578But who could have printed this thing and who was the man who put it into my hand?
31578But whose hands?
31578But would it come at all?
31578But, had I interpreted that strong, nervous pressure aright?
31578Ca n''t say much to us from canvas, eh?"
31578Ca n''t you say so?
31578Can I do nothing for your comfort or for-- for the child''s?"
31578Can you deny that, or that you stepped aside while I ran in and gave my mother another hug?
31578Can you read the names by such a light?"
31578Can you say, John?
31578Can you say, Luke?
31578Can you see it from this veranda?"
31578Can you tell me?"
31578Can you understand my forgetting a matter of so much importance?"
31578Can you understand this amazing, this unheard- of circumstance?
31578Could I have dreamed all that?"
31578Could I stand the suspense of the impending interview?
31578Could her eye rest on mine, even in this cold and perfunctory manner, if the drop which could separate us for ever lay concealed over her heart?
31578Could she have glided in by me unperceived and thus found her way into the bedroom from which I afterward saw her issue?
31578Could the seemingly impossible be made possible and the unexplainable receive a solution satisfying to a rational mind?
31578Darrow, you had it; what did you do with it?"
31578Deane?"
31578Dear, will you let me make you comfortable in the conservatory while I talk for five minutes with Dorothy?"
31578Delicate business, this; or were they both deceived and the man just a good- humoured silly?
31578Did I expect to find him seated at one of the tables?
31578Did I find the ruby?
31578Did he fire at you?"
31578Did n''t he know what I had suffered, was suffering?
31578Did n''t he know what in all probability this missing girl had with her?
31578Did n''t you see her?
31578Did n''t you see him show me the ring?"
31578Did not your mother die in the woods?
31578Did she hear him?
31578Did the other hesitate?
31578Did you ever hear the cry made by a wounded man when the cup of cool water for which he has long agonised is brought suddenly before his eyes?
31578Did you notice how bright and happy she looked when the lights sprang up?
31578Did you notice which end of the table he ignored when relating this dramatic episode?"
31578Did you think there was a woman in this room?"
31578Do I look fit to enter among the dancers?
31578Do n''t keep a bar?"
31578Do n''t you think so?
31578Do you know her door?"
31578Do you know what she is doing now?
31578Do you know?"
31578Do you mean me to be present at an interview so painful-- nay, so serious and so threatening?
31578Do you mean the clerk?
31578Do you not see guilt written on his brow?
31578Do you not see something very strange in this?"
31578Do you remember it, Lemuel?
31578Do you remember it, Luke?
31578Do you remember it, lads?
31578Do you remember my turning to speak to him the moment after that word_ all_ fell from the lawyer''s lips?"
31578Do you remember the white silk train which Mr. Armstrong saw slipping from this room?
31578Do you see your way to accomplishing this?
31578Do you think I am sick enough to imagine things?"
31578Do you think I did wrong?
31578Do you think Mr. Chivers would leave me here alone with two thousand dollars to guard?"
31578Do you understand me, you cruel, crafty ones?''"
31578Do you want a peep at it?"
31578Do you want to hear it?
31578Doctor Golden, are you ready for her story?"
31578Does Dorothy love you?"
31578Every other beggar we meet has a cough; and yet,"she added after a moment''s pause,"if it was not he who gave me this mortal shock, who was it?
31578Fear?
31578For the two women pressing behind me were----""Who?"
31578For whom was he looking?
31578Four?
31578Front rooms, rear rooms, or both?"
31578Gently removing it from his hand, I asked with all the calmness possible:"What is all this mystery?
31578Gilbertine or Dorothy?
31578Gilbertine or Dorothy?
31578Had I heard anything?
31578Had I mistaken my darling''s feelings?
31578Had I seen such a woman?
31578Had Sinclair managed to have his little conversation with her?
31578Had a bullet struck him?
31578Had any such comparison ever been made by the unhappy John Graham, as he hurried up these battered steps into the dismal halls beyond?
31578Had anything new come to light?
31578Had burglars got in?
31578Had he discovered that the seeming puzzle possessed the same invisible spring which had made the one handled by James Holmes so dangerous?
31578Had he known that I had no place in her will?
31578Had it always been the latter''s wish, then, to enrich the one and slight the other?
31578Had it necessarily meant love?
31578Had it not imprinted itself upon my mind as the one revolting vision of my life?
31578Had my aunt taken him into her confidence?
31578Had n''t he sense enough to know that such a loss would n''t pass unquestioned?
31578Had she followed her niece from the room?
31578Had she gone daft?
31578Had she slipped by me in coming in as she had on going out?
31578Had she turned her head to peer into those shadows?
31578Had these dreams been forerunners of some menacing danger?
31578Had they been talking about me?
31578Had this footstep been Dorothy''s, and if so, what had brought her into this remote portion of the house?
31578Had we been alike the victims of a spiritual manifestation?
31578Have you any objection to my company?
31578He followed close behind me, for how could he know I was not in collusion with her to regain the bond?
31578How came you to be completely dressed at near one in a country tavern like this?"
31578How can I go through this rehearsal with such a doubt in my mind?
31578How could I dream that this man, who was little more than a memory to me and scarcely that, was secretly planning mischief against me?
31578How could I think of the other?
31578How could he save the room, and, by these means, save himself and her?
31578How could she have been?
31578How many of you are there?
31578How should I fill up this gap of silence?
31578How tell her of the great, the grievous mistake she had made?
31578How?"
31578I do n''t think he meant no good here----''"''Did she drop here in the hall?''
31578I do not understand-- I am frightened-- what have you to say to Dorothy you can not say to me?"
31578I have advised this man to hold his peace till I can make inquiries, but where am I to make them?
31578I merely exclaimed:"And to- night?"
31578I thought you had entirely dissociated her with this matter, and that you blamed Dorothy, and Dorothy only, for the amethyst''s loss?"
31578I urged,"and what was the nature of the wrong you did him?"
31578I''d think it a very curious quin-- quin----What''s the word?
31578If you''re not, why did you fire those bullets my way?
31578Instantly her look of curiosity changed to one of suspicion, and repeating,''What''s in it?
31578Into what sort of gathering had I stumbled?
31578Is he at home?''
31578Is her sympathy with Mr. Deane so great as to cause her to weep over his loss?"
31578Is it beautiful?
31578Is it behind these books, I say?"
31578Is it behind these books?"
31578Is it money you want?"
31578Is it?"
31578Is that young lady here?
31578Is there unconsciousness in it, or just the hilarity of a distracted mind bent on self- destruction?
31578Is this the police- station?"
31578It fell out----""Your dressmaker''s bill?"
31578It would seem so; but why should the slighted one have been Gilbertine?
31578Jake, are you up to the little game?"
31578Luke, Hector, Janet, have you heard him tell of that vision at his gateway, twenty- five years ago?
31578May we not come in?"
31578Might I not have turned some other corner?"
31578Mow many of you ever had the opportunity of drinking real Tokay before?"
31578Never any other colour that you remember?"
31578No ale?
31578No; I should find her alone, but where?
31578Nothing o''that sort, eh?
31578Now what was the shock?
31578Now, Mr. Worthington, what am I to do with this knowledge?
31578Oh, sir,"she moaned, catching at Mr. Hammersmith''s arm,"am I then mad?
31578Oh, what is happening now?"
31578Oh, what now?"
31578Oh, why did I ever come to this dreadful place?
31578On her person or hidden in some of her belongings?
31578One of Salmon''s four grandchildren, think''e?
31578Or a shoot from Eustace''s gnarled old trunk?
31578Or is this a dream?
31578Or was another and more dreadful tragedy awaiting us?
31578Or was it a reflection from the setting sun?
31578Or was it some secret knowledge of her husband''s fate, unknown to others?
31578Or-- thought insupportable!--had she secretly yielded to another what she had so long denied me, and----?
31578Pressed to her breast was our infant, whose little wail struck in pitifully as Salmon called out,"What''s to do here to- day?"
31578Probably you can not even tell how the ladies took it?"
31578Quimby?"
31578Quimby?"
31578Remorse?
31578Searched the room and the stable?"
31578Shall I assist you to put them on?
31578Shall I shut the door for you?"
31578Shall I step into the drawing- room with you?"
31578Shall I throw him outside the house?"
31578Shall we bring him in?"
31578Shall we fare on together, you, I-- and the little child?"
31578Shall we let the matter pass, then, as though it were of small importance?
31578Shall we think of ourselves, or even of each other, while these men, all relatives of mine, are dying on the other side of this wall?"
31578Shall we, then, fare on together-- you, I, and the little child?"
31578She must have spoken the truth, but was it the entire truth?
31578She stopped, startled, and then said:"It was awfully bare; a bed was on the left----""On the left?"
31578Should I ask him if this was so?
31578Should I find Miss Lane there?
31578Should I send Hendricks or should I send Hicks?
31578Should I signal for my companions?
31578Should we in another minute encounter her ponderous figure in the group of people we could now hear hurrying toward us?
31578Stopping near him, I directed his attention to it by saying:"Pardon me, but did I not see something drop out of your hand?"
31578Surely Mr. Quimby was not there alone?"
31578THE GREY LADY Was it a spectre?
31578That would be bad, eh?
31578The coroner understood and turned back to Jake with the seemingly irrelevant inquiry:"Where did you leave Mr. Quimby when you went to the cock- loft?"
31578The next point is, how are we to settle our doubts?
31578Then he forgot me utterly again, and, facing his wife, growled out:"''Where are you going to get breakfast then?
31578Then suddenly, and with a startling impetuosity, which drew her to her feet:"Are you going to tell everybody that?
31578Then with a sly look at her trembling form and white face he insinuatingly added,"All alone, missus?"
31578Then you know where I got the poison with which I tipped the silly toy with which that weak man fooled away his life?"
31578There are five, are n''t there?
31578They listened appalled,"Dead?"
31578This imposing figure might be that of a millionaire''s daughter; how, then, could I associate her, even in my own mind, with theft?
31578This scene of seeming mirth and happy promise, or the fancies he had conjured up to rob us both of peace?
31578Through the bedroom door, then?
31578To one of the former I addressed the question:"Where is the butler''s pantry?
31578Was I dreaming or under the spell of some frightful hallucination which led me to misread the name on the slip of paper before me?
31578Was any one seen to approach Mr. Deane on the carriage- drive prior to his assertion that the jewel was lost?"
31578Was he to encounter it now?
31578Was her heart still cold, her affection unwon?
31578Was it a dream?
31578Was it because of a fresh lull in the conversation about us?
31578Was it fire?
31578Was it his duty to wait for this girl, possibly already overcome by her fears and lying insensible?
31578Was it_ hers_?
31578Was she locked in, too?
31578Was she still in the conservatory?
31578Was that Quimby speaking?
31578Was that a window they heard flying up?
31578Was the man a fool?
31578Was this a signal or a precaution?
31578Was this what we heard just before that scream went up?
31578We do n''t mind the storm, do we?"
31578Well, have you got it?"
31578Were his own feelings involved in this matter?
31578Were we not wasting strength and a great deal of emotion on a dread which had no foundation in fact?
31578What about Quimby?"
31578What about the daughter?"
31578What alternative remained?
31578What can she have to say except that she was mighty fortunate not to have been burned up in the fire last night?"
31578What did it mean?
31578What did it mean?
31578What did it portend?
31578What has happened to them?
31578What has he every right to think?
31578What have you done that you should forego an inheritance to which these others feel themselves honestly entitled?"
31578What have you forgot?"
31578What infant could live in an air like this?
31578What interest can a police- officer, called in, as I understand, to recover a stolen jewel, have in Frances Glover''s personal difficulties?"
31578What is in it, and why were you so afraid of my seeing it?''
31578What is it now?)
31578What is your name?"
31578What made you think he might still have the ruby?"
31578What must he think?
31578What shall I do now?
31578What shall we say to them?"
31578What should there be a conspiracy about?
31578What troubles Miss Glover?
31578What turned Quimby against her?
31578What was I to say-- what could I say, in response to such a declaration, following so immediately upon his warm assertion of her innocence?
31578What was the article you were seen to pick up from the driveway soon after leaving your carriage?"
31578What was the matter?
31578What was to be done?
31578What would Quimby do?
31578What would be the result?
31578What''s happened?"
31578What''s in it?''
31578What''s the matter?"
31578What''s the plot?"
31578What, then, could you expect from two poor girls entirely dependent upon her for everything they enjoyed?
31578When was this?"
31578When?
31578Where are our cloaks-- our rubbers?"
31578Where is the candle?"
31578Where was she hidden?
31578Where was she when her aunt died?"
31578Where was she, then?
31578Where will you see him?"
31578Which was the dream?
31578Who are his witnesses?
31578Who could this some one be?
31578Who had uttered that dreadful shriek?
31578Who saw her?"
31578Who?
31578Who?
31578Why did they have to look for you?
31578Why did this sound, so easily to be accounted for, ring in my ears like a note of warning?
31578Why did you pretend to love me when you did n''t?"
31578Why do you look at me with those incredulous eyes?"
31578Why had she let herself grow mad with terror when here, within reach of her hand, lay such a means of self- defence?
31578Why have your suspicions returned to Gilbertine?
31578Why is this?
31578Why mar it by unnecessary unpleasantness?"
31578Why should I fear any surprise, prepared as I was for every emergency?
31578Why should I not show the same consideration to Gilbertine?"
31578Why was I on my feet?
31578Why were they here again so early?
31578Why, then, did my brain whirl and my heart collapse?
31578Why, then, those bullets?
31578Why?
31578Will not that answer, without further conversation?
31578Will you drink it?
31578Will you see that she gets it?"
31578With a deepening flush, she flashed out:"You had n''t?
31578With something between a hitch and a shrug, he drew himself upright and with some slight display of temper cried out,"Who says he was there?"
31578Withdraw?
31578Wo n''t you believe me?
31578Would I go down to her?
31578Would a shout attract her?
31578Would he get it?
31578Would he have to jump to the ground in his own despite?
31578Would her indignation hold out under the insinuating smile with which the artful rascal awaited her words?
31578Would it come in the form of a bullet, or a deadly thrust from an unseen knife?
31578Would it ever come to pass that a harsh man of the law should feel it his duty to speak to my Flora as I must now speak to the young girl before me?
31578Would it not be better to say that her husband was upstairs?
31578Would n''t you, Huldah?"
31578Would she be found huddled but alive in some far- off chamber?
31578Would she see him and take courage?
31578Would you like to look through them?
31578Yes, a stir, a very faint stir somewhere down the hall-- the slow, cautious opening of a door, then a footfall-- or had I imagined the latter?
31578Yes, but should she acknowledge it?
31578Yet where could that ruby be, if not with this young girl?
31578Yet who knows?
31578Yet who knows?
31578Yet why should the old woman frown on me?
31578You and your babe are still alive; while they----""What of them?
31578You arrested him, of course, as soon as you could lay your hands on him?"
31578You call them dreadful?"
31578You did n''t want me dead?
31578You have seen this paper covered with the pink scrolls before?"
31578You recall the amount, no doubt?''
31578You remember the Stevens case?
31578You were a Westonhaugh, I believe?"
31578You''ve opened all the others; why do you pass that one by?"
31578Your work in the house has been upstairs work, has n''t it?"
31578_ And who was the person who uttered that scream?_"She confronted him sadly, but with an earnestness he could not but respect.
31578_ Withdraw?_ These cormorants!
31578_ You will not?_''""No, no, no!"
31578had startled him?
31578he shouted,"do you see that black spot?
31578how could he do that?
31578she wailed out,"why were n''t you true to me?
31578was his comment;"entailing I do not know what unfortunate consequences upon this household and on the unhappy girl----""Girl?"
31578what now?
31578what was that?
31578what''s this?"
31578where?
38131''Spencerian Peter,''eh?
38131A figure- four trap, eh?
38131A rev''nue agent?
38131About two weeks before Gerard did?
38131Across the table from you? 38131 All well and good, Chief,"he commented,"but how would the army help you any?
38131Allison or the Norcross girl?
38131Alone?
38131An accident?
38131And I''m the one who''s got to handle it?
38131And Miss Lang?
38131And keep him under constant surveillance? 38131 And she pays you for your time in between?"
38131And the seal was intact when you came in yesterday afternoon?
38131And what time did Mrs. Prentice leave?
38131And who got the credit for solving the puzzle?
38131And yet,said Preston,"I understand that in spite of his precautions he was killed last night?"
38131And you''ve told me all the truth-- every bit of it?
38131Anita?
38131Any chance of recovering the body?
38131Any comment about the package?
38131Any mail?
38131Any phone messages?
38131Any women in sight?
38131Anyone I know?
38131Anyone present that you suspect of forgery or beating his wife?
38131Anything else beside watching him?
38131Anything serious?
38131Apart from his wanting to be alone, then, he was pretty close to being human?
38131Are these all the letters that have been received?
38131Are you certain? 38131 Arrest for what?"
38131Ask him,insisted the chief of police,"how he killed Montgomery?"
38131At midnight? 38131 At nine o''clock?"
38131Bags? 38131 Before Mrs. Vaughan came to town?"
38131Bolshevist?
38131But I thought his body was found near the door?
38131But I thought--"That he desired your life? 38131 But Rita,"Graham protested,"you do n''t mean to say that you''re going to put yourself entirely in this man''s power?"
38131But are n''t the detective stories of real life interesting and oftentimes exciting?
38131But how do you know it was n''t a bullet of the same caliber, fired from outside the window?
38131But how in the name of Heaven did you get the answer so quickly?
38131But how''d you happen to arrive here at the right moment?
38131But no clue as to the location of the body of the beast?
38131But the message Callahan sent?
38131But the trap-- the milk? 38131 But what I''d like to know,"he asked, as they strolled back toward the main ballroom,"is how you engineered the affair?"
38131But what about your luncheon engagement?
38131But what of them? 38131 But what was it you feared?"
38131But what,grumbled Walters,"has that to do with the Black Tom explosion?"
38131But who was the man?
38131But who,I persisted, as Quinn stopped,"was Jack Stewart and what was the nature of the affair upon which he stumbled in Mexico City?"
38131But,I inquired, as he paused,"what became of Dawson and Stewart?"
38131But,as one army officer phrased it,"what''s the use of a convoy if they know just where you are?
38131By the way, Boyd, have you or any of your men been in the Service more than four years?
38131By the way,added the operative,"might I see it?"
38131Ca n''t I see something more of you while we are in New York? 38131 Ca n''t you guess?
38131Can I?
38131Can you get to your office in ten minutes?
38131Can you look me straight in the eyes and say that they have n''t paid you for being blind? 38131 Can you tell me now what it was you started to say about Conner''s?"
38131Care to outline it?
38131Conner''s? 38131 Couple that with the fact that the box was empty when you found it and I think we will have--""What?"
38131Dad''s place?
38131Derwent and Mahoney?
38131Did Boyd or any of the other department operatives ask to see the plans of the post office?
38131Did Weimar ever come to see you?
38131Did he talk with a German accent?
38131Did more than one person write the letters?
38131Did n''t I tell you that Al was married? 38131 Did n''t he say''sheep- stinger''?"
38131Did n''t think I''d see through your scheme to get a position here and your infernal cleverness with the books and the accounts? 38131 Did n''t wait long for another assignment, did he?"
38131Did n''t you know I would?
38131Did n''t you mention a post- office case in which a wad of gum played a prominent role?
38131Did she meet anyone?
38131Did the men have any bags with them?
38131Did you catch the name of the man to whom your friends were alluding?
38131Did you ever hear of the place they called Conner''s, Chief?
38131Did you know anything about the poison- pen letters in Madison?
38131Did you pick up any jewels in the Catskills?
38131Did you see?
38131Do n''t look like the writing of the same person, do they?
38131Do n''t you know Jimmy Callahan? 38131 Do you admit that you deliberately brought seven thousand five hundred dollars of counterfeit money here and tried to pass it?"
38131Do you believe that moonshining is right?
38131Do you happen to have a copy of yesterday''s_ News_ handy?
38131Do you know how long it was between the time that she entered the building and the time she left?
38131Do you know where Rockwell is now?
38131Do you mean to say it worked?
38131Do you mean to say,asked one of the men at the table,"that you can tell that a man is a criminal simply by looking at him?"
38131Do you recall any record of a check for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars upon the State National drawn and cashed this morning?
38131Do you remember the disappearance of the plans of the battleship_ Pennsylvania_?
38131Do you see that little square marked with a white star and the letter''L''?
38131Does n''t the speedometer give you the distance?
38131Does the Filipino know anything about his master''s past?
38131Does this Austrian, this here Buch feller ye''re lookin''for, like music? 38131 Else how would they know when to lay off?
38131First time you ever saw this, eh?
38131From what ports are transports sailing within the next couple of weeks?
38131Go down to the refrigerator and find out, will you? 38131 Going to take anybody with you?"
38131Got that?
38131Had he bled to death?
38131Has Miss James been able to discover anything of the lady''s past history?
38131Has he any relatives?
38131Has one of the diamonds a heart- shaped flaw in it?
38131Has the combination been changed recently?
38131Have you a record of the home address of the people employed in the Mint?
38131Have you discovered anything?
38131Have you heard about the murder of Montgomery Marshall?
38131Have you the letter you received?
38131Have you?
38131He''s going to show you what is in the double- locked room?
38131Here, would you like to try it?
38131How about a poisoned bullet, fired through the opening in the window?
38131How about bribing one of the employees to leave?
38131How about overhearing his directions to the men he meets in the open?
38131How about the Tysons and the Osgoods and the other people who brought these letters in-- didn''t they receive subsequent demands for money?
38131How about the Ypiranga case?
38131How about the maid?
38131How did this man work it right under our eyes?
38131How did you know it was lost?
38131How did you know it?
38131How do you know he has n''t it already?
38131How do you know? 38131 How far am I allowed to go?"
38131How is it, then, that every story you''ve told dealt with the success of a government agent-- never with his failure?
38131How long has this been going on?
38131How long was the taxi there?
38131How many men know the combination to the vault door?
38131How many?
38131How much do you know about the case?
38131How much gold did you say was missing?
38131How much time?
38131How''d you get away?
38131How''d you know where to find it?
38131How?
38131How?
38131Huh? 38131 Huh?"
38131I will,promised Marks,"but who are you?
38131I''m returning to Washington on the Congressional, but I''ll be sure to see you at the de Maurys'', wo n''t I? 38131 If that''s the case,"cut in another,"why do n''t you lock''em all up?"
38131In his hand?
38131In that case,muttered the chief at the other end of the wire,"why in Heaven''s name did n''t he get them when they came in?"
38131In the building? 38131 In the scale house?"
38131Is Mr. MacPherson, the purser of the_ Atlantic_, there?
38131Is n''t Petersen behaving himself?
38131Is n''t it possible,he suggested,"to plant your men close enough to Weimar to find out, for example, what he talks about over the phone?"
38131Is that the name?
38131Is that the way it always stays?
38131Is that the way they are usually arranged?
38131Is this Mr. Preston of the Postal Inspection Service?
38131Is this the way the door of the grille ordinarily hangs?
38131It is rather pretty, is n''t it? 38131 It would take a better man than I am to decipher this,"and he read off:"I i i t f b b t t x o....""Code?"
38131Just want to ask what you know about Mrs. Mahlon Prentice?
38131Light?
38131Look into it?
38131Madelaine,he inquired,"what do you know of a certain Mrs. Lelia Armitage?"
38131Madison? 38131 Meaning what?"
38131Mind the what?
38131Money? 38131 Morgantown?"
38131Mr. Preston? 38131 Murder?"
38131Murphy,said the Green- and- White manager,"where was your cab last night?"
38131Music?
38131My business?
38131New York? 38131 No chance of a slip- up in your information, is there, Chief?"
38131No chance of her being mixed up in the affair?
38131No doubt that your man heard the splash when Holden went overboard last night?
38131No? 38131 No?"
38131Not directly-- but what other purpose could a person have than to extract money? 38131 Not smoking?"
38131Not the slightest indication of where Gerard went?
38131Nothing missing?
38131Now that we''ve got her,inquired Madelaine James,"what''ll we do with her?"
38131Of course you''re willing to state where they came from?
38131Oh, it was a Green- and- White, eh?
38131On the Congressional Limited, eh?
38131Plant it?
38131Rather long for her to make her way to the office of her husband, find he was n''t there, and come right back, was n''t it?
38131Recognise them?
38131Report? 38131 Rita, I can''t--"Graham started to argue, but the girl cut in with,"You ca n''t stop me?
38131Same rules as on the Coast, eh?
38131Seem to be familiar with anyone on board?
38131Seen a ghost or something?
38131Shall we go after it from this end, Chief?
38131Sit down and have something? 38131 So that was the trick, eh?"
38131Some more of your highfalutin''detective work, eh?
38131Somebody who ought n''t to be here?
38131Something stirring?
38131Sounded like a ghost, did n''t it?
38131Sprague?
38131Sprague?
38131Still believe von Ewald is a myth?
38131Story in what?
38131Strange, was n''t it, how that pair stumbled across one of the first tentacles of the World War in front of a cafà © in Mexico City? 38131 Stranger,"he inquired,"what might yo''name be?"
38131Sure you have n''t slipped up anywhere and given them a suspicion as to your real work?
38131Thanks,said the girl,"but what next?"
38131That being the case, Chief, why take any chances right now? 38131 That was an interesting theory of yours,"commented one of the men,"but was n''t it only a theory?
38131That''s where the eight hundred and fifty dollars came from?
38131The Senate Office Building?
38131The Thurene case? 38131 The blue print?"
38131The fifty thousand dollars? 38131 The girl?
38131The girl?
38131The manager''s name--But then she halted abruptly, picked up a plug, and said,"What number, please?"
38131The price?
38131The what?
38131The which?
38131The----?
38131Then how are you to account for the discrepancies between the bills of lading and the final receipts?
38131Then this,cut in Whitney, unable to keep the excitement out of his voice,"is where he stopped to speak to the Germans?"
38131Then you know where it is?
38131Then you mean that the bookkeeper is responsible for falsifying the accounts?
38131Then you think that it may be a clue, after all?
38131Then,cut in Callahan,"if the Germans wanted to make a ten- strike they''d lay for that boat?"
38131There was n''t the slightest clue left after the Black Tom affair?
38131There''s one that clears Norfolk at daylight on Monday morning with twelve thousand men aboard...."Norfolk?
38131They?
38131Thought I was easy, did n''t you?
38131Thought what?
38131Trap it? 38131 Trunks?"
38131Tuesday?
38131Um, yes,muttered Maxwell,"but has the young lady seen anything of this chap lately?"
38131Verne did n''t write detective stories, did he?
38131Wah Lee? 38131 Want me for anything?"
38131Want to go up with me and investigate the secret chamber?
38131Was he married?
38131Was it of such a nature that it could have been easily copied?
38131Was there a chimney or any other possible entrance to the room?
38131Was this procedure followed with respect to all the other employees in the building?
38131Was this the only copy in existence?
38131Well, now that I''ve told you, what d''you think?
38131Well, what happened?
38131Well, what''s the idea of trailing him, then?
38131Well,I inquired,"what was she?"
38131Well,snapped Preston,"what did he see?"
38131Were the papers right in reporting that you picked some fragments of a black bag not far from the scene of the explosion?
38131Were you to send these messages only on Saturday night?
38131Whar you come from?
38131What about Tino, the servant?
38131What about the men who''ve been working on the case up to this time?
38131What are you talking about?
38131What became of her?
38131What boats are due in the next three days?
38131What brings you here? 38131 What business is it of yours?
38131What can I do for you?
38131What did she buy?
38131What did they look like?
38131What did you say her name was?
38131What do you expect to catch?
38131What do you know about Cheney?
38131What do you know about that?
38131What do you make of that?
38131What do you mean,''all''? 38131 What do you mean-- this case?"
38131What do you mean? 38131 What do you mean?"
38131What do you see?
38131What does he do at other times?
38131What does the tape say?
38131What does this mean?
38131What evidence have you that this invasion is planned?
38131What happened to Vera Norton?
38131What happened to them? 38131 What in Heaven''s name are you going to do there?"
38131What is this large room next to it?
38131What kind of bags were they?
38131What letter?
38131What made you take up counterfeiting? 38131 What th''----?"
38131What time was the dinner?
38131What was that?
38131What was the date they were sold?
38131What was the size of the master key, as you call it?
38131What''s all this about?
38131What''s coming off Tuesday?
38131What''s missing?
38131What''s on it?
38131What''s that?
38131What''s that?
38131What''s the idea, Chief?
38131What''s the idea, anyhow?
38131What''s the idea? 38131 What''s the idea?
38131What''s the idea?
38131What''s the matter?
38131What''s the matter?
38131What''s the matter?
38131What''s the matter?
38131What''s the significance of that white mouse on the mantelpiece?
38131What''s the trouble now?
38131What''s the trouble?
38131What''s this doing here?
38131What''s this?
38131What-- what do you want me to do?
38131What? 38131 What?"
38131What?
38131What?
38131What?
38131What?
38131What?
38131When did Miss Vaughan leave?
38131When did you discover the disappearance of the code secret?
38131When was that?
38131Where are the gold bars?
38131Where did you find it?
38131Where did you get that eight hundred and fifty dollars?
38131Where is Buch now?
38131Where is she now?
38131Where was it?
38131Where you going?
38131Where''d she come from?
38131Where''s Felix?
38131Where''s Marks located now?
38131Where''s that?
38131Where''s the biggest ship sailing from?
38131Where''s the paper?
38131Where-- how-- what in the world made you think that?
38131Which case was that?
38131Which is the reason that you want me to look into it, eh?
38131Which means that you do n''t care to handle the case?
38131Which one was that?
38131While you were also drawing money from me, eh?
38131Who are the men who appear to be implicated?
38131Who are you? 38131 Who do you mean?"
38131Who has charge of our cab bearing license number four, three, three, five, six, eight?... 38131 Who said this was a gang?"
38131Who told you about that?
38131Who was here at the time?
38131Who,he inquired of that individual,"has charge of the operation of that phonograph sign on the roof?"
38131Who-- is-- Sprague?
38131Whom do you suspect of manipulating the funds?
38131Why all the mystery?
38131Why all the questions? 38131 Why all the stage setting?"
38131Why do you say blackmailer? 38131 Why is it,"he inquired, testily,"that some fools never learn anything?"
38131Why not a theater party this evening?
38131Why not let''s watch them from the roof here? 38131 Why that momentous decision?"
38131Why? 38131 Wife of the Third Assistant Secretary of State?"
38131Will you produce it-- or shall I?
38131With what result?
38131Would n''t it be better, sir, if we hung around outside th''store an''let Katy give us the high sign when he come in? 38131 Would n''t like to have a piece of the Kaiser''s mustache or anything of that kind, would you, Chief?"
38131Would you think about ethics if some one had murdered two of the men you work next to in the office? 38131 Yes, but what is it?"
38131Yes, what is it?
38131Yes?
38131Yet, you say her handwriting was similar to that which appears on these letters?
38131You are certain that she was there all evening-- that she did n''t slip out for half an hour or so?
38131You are certain that the cipher was there last evening?
38131You are familiar with the Carruthers Code?
38131You mean my statement that you can tell by the shape of a man''s head and hands whether he has a predisposition to crime?
38131You mean that you think he''s implicated?
38131You mean you''d like to marry me?
38131You mean--"That she was a crook? 38131 You remember those scratches I called your attention to-- the ones on the side of the grille bars?
38131You want it intercepted?
38131You want to draw their fire, eh?
38131You''d hardly expect me to say''Yes,''would you? 38131 You''re not going to write the whole thing on the board?"
38131***** Remember Dr. Heinrich Albert?
38131*****"All?"
38131*****"And so they were married and lived happily ever after?"
38131*****"And was that all Marks ever heard from her?"
38131*****"But the plans?"
38131*****"Do you know what the whole message was?"
38131About five o''clock this afternoon?
38131Am I right?"
38131And did Carr succeed in landing the men higher up?"
38131And who are you?"
38131And-- Do you know what books are kept on Shelf Forty- five?"
38131And-- er-- what was the number of the room she had coming over?...
38131Any clue in the postmarks?"
38131Any more stuff turn up?"
38131Any reason to suspect anyone?"
38131Anything criminal in that?"
38131Are you going to stop with friends?"
38131Are you on?"
38131Besides, did n''t the two trunks of goods arrive?"
38131Besides, what about the girl?"
38131Besides, what we''ve got to find out first is how Montgomery met his death?"
38131But Edna and Grace were n''t on your list, were they?"
38131But I''d guess somewhere about five or ten minutes?"
38131But how could that be accomplished when he did not even know where he was or anything about the house?
38131But how in the name of Heaven had they gotten their information?
38131But if it is in the mysterious black bag.... Is the doctor in town now?"
38131But she was too sleepy to give much thought to it, and, besides, what if he had?...
38131But what else would you expect from the man who solved that submarine tangle in Norfolk?"
38131But what had Holden been doing at the clairvoyant''s?
38131But what on earth would two men want to take a taxi from New York all the way to Trenton for?
38131But what were they to do about it?
38131But what''s the idea?
38131But where?
38131But which?
38131But,"and his face broke into a smile,"since they did find me, what''s the trouble?"
38131By the way, do you know of any place in town known as Conner''s?"
38131By the way, have you noticed those scratches on the bars of the grille, about four feet from the floor?"
38131By the way, what do you know about the dead man?"
38131By the way, when do you plan to make your next inspection?"
38131Ca n''t I spend my own money in my own way without being trailed and hounded all over the city?"
38131Can you get it?"
38131Can you make it?"
38131Can you tell us anything about him?"
38131Come to think of it, Verne was n''t an American, was he?
38131Could I do less than to help you?"
38131Could he capture him without being injured?
38131Could it be that Felix was one of the men whom he had surprised the night before, the one he had fired at and hit?
38131D''you get me?"
38131Did n''t keep you waiting a minute?"
38131Did she have the same stateroom?
38131Did you drop her there?"
38131Did you ever know Carroll?
38131Did you ever notice the changing style in villains, for example?
38131Director?"
38131Do n''t governmental investigations usually take a long time?"
38131Do you know anyone who''s socially prominent in Madison?"
38131Do you know of any demand for money which has been made?"
38131Do you mean to say that its bite is sufficiently poisonous to kill a man?"
38131Do you suspect the wife of the Third Assistant Secretary of State of robbing a bank?"
38131Do you think it''s safe?"
38131During the weeks that followed, people repeatedly asked the Commissioner:"What''s become of Jimmy Reynolds?
38131Evans?"
38131Ever hear of Rockwell?"
38131Florence, Rose, and Amelia?
38131For example, there was Virginia Lang--""Was she the girl at the switchboard that you mentioned in connection with the von Ewald case?"
38131Going through to New York, of course?"
38131Got a tip that the Huns are going to try to grab her?"
38131Got any ideas on the matter?"
38131Had Dick gotten her signal?
38131Had he fallen into the power of the ring or was it possible that he was one of the blackmailers himself?
38131Had he laid a plan whereby he could repeat this operation as often as necessary?
38131Had some German, more daring than the rest, actually come ashore and penetrated into the very lines of the Service?
38131Hal Preston handled it, did n''t he-- the same man responsible for running down''The Trail of the White Mice''?"
38131Have n''t government detectives ever been instrumental in solving a murder mystery?"
38131Have you any documents of importance-- international importance-- in your office at the present moment?"
38131Have you got all the letters?"
38131Have you tried tracing her from the other side?"
38131He paused a moment, his breath rattling in his throat, and then continued:"It took me five years to find him-- but you say he''s dead?
38131He would want to get the latest information, the most recent books, the--""What are you driving at?"
38131He''s still chasing around with the blond-- but what''s become of Miss Red- head?"
38131How are we going to find the corner where the machine turned?"
38131How could one man carry away all that gold without being seen?
38131How did the thief get the mail containing the money out of the building?
38131How does that suit you?"
38131How was the safe opened?"
38131How''bout it?"
38131How''d you happen to hit on that?"
38131How?"
38131However, if it had n''t been for Todd--""Todd?"
38131I happened to be at a dinner with her last evening and--""You what?"
38131In answer to her query,"Who''s there?"
38131In what connection?"
38131Incidentally, has all the rest of the gold been weighed?"
38131Is he in?...
38131Is he nuts about it?"
38131Is n''t a spy always a spy?"
38131Is n''t there any chance for a mistake?"
38131Is there any milk in the house?"
38131Is there any real foundation of fact?"
38131It looked to be a certainty on the face of it, but, once you had discovered that, what good did it do you?
38131It''ll take some time to get at the truth of the matter and, meanwhile, might I ask you to keep this information to yourself?"
38131Let me know if anything comes up, will you?"
38131Marks?"
38131Meanwhile we''ll continue to be good friends and trail around together, eh?"
38131Mighty funny kinder way to earn a livin'', Ah calls it-- flashing on an''off all night long....""But where''s he work from?"
38131Mr. MacPherson?
38131Murphy?
38131Nab''em right away?"
38131Now what''s your idea of handling the case?"
38131Oh, well--""Any idea of where the shipments came from?"
38131Or did the answer lie in a concealed wireless, operating upon information supplied through underground channels?
38131Out of the darkness came the guttural inquiry:"What do you want?"
38131Quinn must have read the look of interest in my face, for he continued, almost without a pause:"Did you ever hear the inside of that case?
38131Ready?
38131Ready?...
38131Remember him?
38131Ring?"
38131Rotten weather, is n''t it?
38131Saint Louis?
38131See that black mark, like an inverted V, upon the head?
38131See that twenty- five- cent piece up there on the wall?
38131See?
38131Serious as that, is it?"
38131She is?
38131She was Allison''s wife?"
38131Should he attempt to find the house from which the scream had come and force the door?
38131Should he take a chance on losing his prey merely to try to save a woman''s life?
38131Six during the past few weeks?"
38131So they were saving him for the sacrifice, eh?
38131Some one broke in there and--""Yes-- but what about Holden?"
38131Suppose we plan a certain event for the sixth of January?"
38131Suppose we say the first of the year?
38131That they did n''t suspect what you came to the dock for, and declared you in on the split?
38131The case has n''t gotten into the papers, so why not release Thurene?"
38131The first one read: Does your husband know the details of that trip to Fond du Lac?
38131The girl''s first answer was a laugh, and then,"What do you mean,''put myself in his power''?"
38131The question is, Where did she get the tip?"
38131The question now is, What''s this particular storm and when is it goin''to break?"
38131The question now is: Who are''they''and how did they operate?"
38131The question was: Where was the money coming from and what was the immediate object of the game?
38131The theft occurred shortly after midnight and--""If you know so much about it, why do n''t you arrest her?"
38131Then one of these t''ree guys hailed me....""Three?"
38131Then, as an after- thought,"Do you happen to know of any hotel or place here in town known as''Conner''s''?"
38131Then, grinning, he continued,"Understand you''ve been having a bit of trouble out in Columbus?"
38131Then, pointing to the name"Countess Sylvia Stefani"on the hotel sheet and to the same name on the wrapper, he asked,"Note everything?"
38131Then, what was more natural than that her maid should accompany her on board when she was leaving?
38131Then,"Are you sure you can put it over?"
38131Then,"What do doctors do with their mistakes?"
38131Then:"Notice anything funny about these?"
38131Then:"What do you know about the anonymous letters which have been sent to a number of persons in this city?"
38131There''s no chance to plant a dictaphone, and how else are you going to get the information?"
38131They got out and were away for nearly two hours?
38131They had turned up in the United States, so why could n''t they have been slipped through the customs of other countries just as easily?
38131They were going to keep him here until their arrangements were complete and then make away with him, were they?
38131Think the stuff is being brought over by airplane and landed inland?
38131This is the first piece of personal property that I''ve been able to locate and you say there is nothing in this?"
38131Thought you could get away with it indefinitely, eh?"
38131Three of the former he slipped into his pocket and then, turning, inquired:"Was Mr. Rockwell fond of cold weather?"
38131Tryin''to make it do tricks?"
38131Want any help from this end?"
38131Want any report to headquarters?"
38131Want me to say''Hello''to anybody?"
38131Want to come along, Rita?"
38131Want to see something of my color process, eh?
38131Was it the silent- moving head waiter?
38131Was she to blame for that?"
38131Was the cash O. K. at the Central Trust?"
38131Was there a secret submarine base on the coast?
38131Was there any gang?
38131Washington?
38131Were they there when you went over the books this morning?"
38131What about the bum we carried in here last night-- the one that tried to help Anita in her getaway?"
38131What business are you in?"
38131What business have you in here?"
38131What could their purpose be?
38131What d''ye call those birds that fly around at sea just before a gale breaks-- stormy petrels?
38131What do you know about her?"
38131What do you want me to do?
38131What do you want to do with th''lad in th''bed?"
38131What does Dame Rumor say in this case?"
38131What else was there for him to do?
38131What happened then?"
38131What happened to the Mexican?
38131What has that got to do with it?"
38131What is it?"
38131What is the latest news from the ship?"
38131What lines have Boyd and the other men here been following?"
38131What name did this man give?"
38131What next?
38131What was in the box?"
38131What was the connection between him and the quarter- million you mentioned?"
38131What was the message Callahan sent?
38131What was the motive?"
38131What you smilin''at?"
38131What''d you find in the store?"
38131What''re you going to do when experts disagree?"
38131What''s that Mahoney has in his hand?"
38131What''s the address?"
38131What''s the connection?"
38131What''s the idea, anyhow?
38131What''s the idea, anyhow?
38131What''s the matter?"
38131What''s the matter?"
38131What''s the number of her stateroom?
38131What''s the trouble?"
38131What''ve you got in the bag there?"
38131What?"
38131When the conference concluded, sometime after midnight, the chief turned to Maxwell and inquired:"Well, what''s your idea about it?"
38131Where are the envelopes in which these letters were mailed?"
38131Where can I reach you by phone?"
38131Where can I reach you?"
38131Where did you get the money to pay for that ring you bought at Tiffany''s to- day?"
38131Where did you meet''em and where did you drive''em?"
38131Where is Cheney now?"
38131Where is the gold?"
38131Where was Conner''s?
38131Where was it that they intended to place the bomb?
38131Where''d you get it?"
38131Where''d you get the message?"
38131Where''ll I meet you to- night?"
38131Where''s the box you were talking about?"
38131Who does this Weimar live with?"
38131Who is he?"
38131Who sent the letter and the money from Washington?"
38131Who was inquiring about him, and why?
38131Who was the man they were plotting against?
38131Who were"they"and where were they?
38131Who would be likely to know?"
38131Who''s been looting the local treasury?"
38131Why am I Mrs. Mabel Kennedy, and what''s she supposed to do?"
38131Why did n''t they come on the train?"
38131Why do n''t you send Giles or one of the bachelors on this?"
38131Why should n''t we take a leaf out of their book?"
38131Why should they?"
38131Why should you take such an interest in me?"
38131Why the odd shape?
38131Why would they arrange it so as to explode upon pressure, rather than concussion or by a time fuse?
38131Why''d you ask?
38131Why?
38131Why?
38131Why?
38131Will you look after that?"
38131Will you?"
38131Wonder what that bookkeeper mailed?"
38131Would he be able to trail his man?
38131XXI A MILLION- DOLLAR QUARTER"What''s in the phial?"
38131You are going, I suppose?"
38131You did n''t find anything, of course?"
38131You have the bunch of master keys, of course?"
38131You know the system that maintains in the registry room?
38131You remember me, do n''t you?
38131You remember that case, do n''t you?
38131You remember the Black Tom explosion in August, nineteen sixteen?
38131You remember the Philadelphia mint robbery-- the one that Drummond solved in less than six hours?
38131You remember the incident of the''leak''in the peace note, when certain Wall Street interests cleaned up millions of dollars?"
38131You''re not lying?"
38131You''ve searched the room thoroughly, of course?"
38131snapped Todd,"but where have you been for the last hour?
38131that you, Thurber?...
38131who?"
32985A definite answer? 32985 A suggestion?"
32985Afraid to trust me with fire, eh? 32985 After Dr. Meredith came into the case the patient began to improve, did she not?"
32985Also that she was addicted to morphine?
32985An''ef you an''t stealin''that strap, I''d like to know what you''re doin'', takin''it outen the barn, before it''s sold?
32985An''t he? 32985 An''why not, I''d like to know?
32985And Dr. Meredith, although a specialist, has had less experience than you, has he not?
32985And are so still?
32985And did you think me dead, Cara mia?
32985And enter it?
32985And is its action affected by disease?
32985And my daughter?
32985And now, do you love him as well now?
32985And that if not refuted, this testimony almost alone, would tend towards a conviction?
32985And that is----?
32985And that is?
32985And these good authorities claim that morphine, administered to one who has Bright''s disease, might accumulate until a poisonous dose were present?
32985And these signs are indicative of opium poisoning?
32985And this syringe incident occurred at eight o''clock?
32985And this young gentleman is to be he?
32985And to the accused?
32985And who am I?
32985And would these same symptoms occur in any other form of death, except from morphine poisoning?
32985And yet in this case you found morphine in the stomach?
32985And you claim to have done this?
32985And you considered Dr. Meredith such a man?
32985Any other disease?
32985Are you glad or sorry?
32985Are you in earnest, Leon, or are you merely carried away by an emotion, aroused by something which I have said?
32985Are you in pain?
32985Are you tired now of sleeping?
32985As a matter of fact, when did you return?
32985As skilful as you are yourself?
32985As you insist upon going back to that old case, let me ask you how you can suppose that I induced the disease at that time?
32985At what hour did Miss Sloane die?
32985Between the time of your return from Europe, and this attack of diphtheria, do you know whether your wife took any morphine?
32985But Doctor, how can I remain?
32985But I thought that Judge Dudley was your warm friend?
32985But I? 32985 But are you ready to go right out into the world, single handed?
32985But before the time which you specify, you did not know him?
32985But if I give you a command now when you are asleep, you will obey it when I allow you to awaken?
32985But if not? 32985 But if she had grown worse, if the false membrane had increased, would she not have had greater difficulty in swallowing?"
32985But morphine is a form of opium, is it not?
32985But suppose she were to die a natural death? 32985 But who are you?
32985But why did you not come here two days ago?
32985But you are certain that she had Bright''s disease?
32985But you judged that this girl died of diphtheria from your experience with such cases, is that it?
32985But you sacrifice yourself, merely to test an experiment? 32985 By good authorities?"
32985Can you state how long ago?
32985Can you state what disease existed?
32985Can you state whether this coma had been produced by a poisonous dose of morphine?
32985Can you tell how your wife obtained possession of the hypodermic syringe, and the morphine?
32985Cora,demanded the Doctor,"how dared you commit such a hideous crime?
32985Dared? 32985 Did Dr. Medjora call during the afternoon, or evening?"
32985Did he arrive before she died?
32985Did he know that you had seen him?
32985Did he pay you?
32985Did you and your wife live together after marriage?
32985Did you do so?
32985Did you find it in poisonous quantities?
32985Did you go at once to your patient''s room?
32985Did you interfere?
32985Did you leave the room again during that time?
32985Did you not consider it wrong to leave your patient?
32985Did you observe any of these symptoms in Miss Sloane?
32985Did you remain with your patient throughout his visit?
32985Did you see any evidence of that drug exhibited by her condition, lethargic sleep, contracted pupils, or any other diagnostic symptom?
32985Did you see them?
32985Did you suggest to him that the patient was dying of poison?
32985Did you tell Dr. Medjora that you had seen him administer the morphine?
32985Did you, at any time during this illness, prescribe or administer opium in any form?
32985Do I love him?
32985Do I? 32985 Do n''t you understand that this is a confidential conversation?
32985Do you admit that you behaved very badly?
32985Do you deny it?
32985Do you doubt it? 32985 Do you know how much morphine she took at that time?"
32985Do you know how you came here?
32985Do you know where you are?
32985Do you know who you are? 32985 Do you love any one, so that you would marry him?"
32985Do you mean that South America was once wider?
32985Do you mean that crime is produced by bacteria? 32985 Do you mean that some animals can resist the attacks of bacteria?"
32985Do you mean that you will assist me?
32985Do you mean to murder me?
32985Do you never read novels?
32985Do you not hear me? 32985 Do you not know?"
32985Do you really mean that you accomplished that almost incredible miracle?
32985Do you see any other person?
32985Do you wish them?
32985Do you wish to awaken?
32985Do you wish to drink?
32985Do you wish to know?
32985Do you?
32985Doctor Medjora,he exclaimed,"what has happened?
32985Does it sadden you to think that way?
32985Does this morning''s paper give the result of the post- mortem?
32985Dr. McDougal,said he,"did you examine the kidneys?"
32985Dr. Medjora,he began,"will you please state what relation you bore to the deceased, Miss Mabel Sloane?"
32985Ef''tain''t wuth nothin'', I''d have you tell me what you''re takin''it for?
32985Even you are liable to make a mistake, eh?
32985Everything else you have forgotten? 32985 Finally, you will forget that you have been asleep?"
32985Fishing, I suppose?
32985Forever?
32985From all this, then, I am to believe that the story of the Flood is true in the main? 32985 From what disease was she suffering?"
32985From what you observed, Doctor,said he,"are you prepared to assign a cause of death?"
32985Had you not had a controversy with him upon a professional point?
32985Have the scientists been able to account for these phenomena?
32985Have you heard anything which has made you alter your opinion?
32985Have you thought of it at all, as possible?
32985He is usually a man who has special knowledge, is he not?
32985He left the car, and you followed him to a house and saw him enter?
32985He took a car, and you took another?
32985How are they connected? 32985 How can you remain?
32985How could you tell it was morphine?
32985How did it occur?
32985How did you know that?
32985How do you know that this case is yours?
32985How do you know that?
32985How long a time would be required to eliminate it from that organ?
32985How long before the attack of diphtheria was this?
32985How long had you been married, at this time?
32985How long has it been out of your possession?
32985How much for the dog?
32985How much?
32985How small?
32985How soon after you saw her, did you suspect that she had been poisoned?
32985How soon after your return did you learn that he had been too attentive to your wife?
32985How was it that at that place she passed as a single woman?
32985How was the pulse?
32985How were the pupils of the eyes? 32985 How were you called in to the case?"
32985How will you escape? 32985 How?
32985I am your master?
32985I dare to tell you? 32985 I have not the right?
32985I hope that the late hour at which you retired last night did not interfere with your rest?
32985I hope you have not been disappointed?
32985I think you said that this occurred at half- past eight o''clock?
32985I wish you then to tell me whether you are in love with Agnes Dudley?
32985I wonder why I am such a fool as to marry you?
32985I wonder, Lossy, how you will do in a great city? 32985 If I let you go from here, what will you do?"
32985If you did not make any injections, as you have testified that you did not, how is it that you could have left this at the house?
32985If you do not think we are capable, why have you come to us?
32985If, because of kidney disease, morphine were retained in the system, where would you look for it after death?
32985In fact you concluded that she would recover?
32985In such a case where would the morphine be chiefly found after death, by chemical analysis?
32985In what condition did you find them to be?
32985In what position was Miss Sloane when you saw the Doctor leaning over her?
32985In what way do you need him?
32985In your opinion then, your wife died from the accumulation of morphine, all of which was self- administered?
32985In your opinion, what caused the death of Miss Sloane?
32985Indeed, and may I ask what use you intend to make of them?
32985Is Dr. Fisher a skilful man?
32985Is that a normal condition?
32985Is this it?
32985It is understood, your Honor,said Mr. Dudley,"that we take exception to this whole line of examination?"
32985It was you who sent the nurse away, I believe?
32985Judging honestly?
32985Leon Grath?
32985Leon,said the Doctor, after a slight pause,"I believe that I have your confidence and trust?"
32985May I ask what they were?
32985Might she not have died of this?
32985Miss Conlin,he began,"who engaged you to attend Miss Sloane?"
32985Miss Dudley?
32985Morbid? 32985 My name?"
32985My safety?
32985Mysterious subject? 32985 Nevertheless, you have not thought of loving her?"
32985No? 32985 Not even for an instant?"
32985Not even if, as the newspapers claim, she had a child?
32985Not even to get the coffee which Dr. Meredith had ordered?
32985Not even when you found that he had been called in to attend Miss Sloane? 32985 Not married?
32985Now, if I ask you a few questions, will you answer me truthfully?
32985Now, then, I believe that you called Dr. Meredith into the case?
32985Of what did she die?
32985One sixth of a grain has proven fatal, and, from what you found, you conclude that three grains had been given to this woman?
32985Or else?
32985Please count the tablets remaining, and state how many there are?
32985Please explain what the symptoms of morphine poisoning are?
32985Poison? 32985 Poor doggy,"said the lad;"you know that I''m in trouble, do n''t you, old boy?"
32985Professor,said he,"from your examination of this body can you tell us whether or not the deceased had been a mother?"
32985Professor,said the Recorder,"can you not state what was the minimum quantity which must have been administered, judged by what you found?"
32985Prove it?
32985Providence?
32985Robert, why did you start to leave the room?
32985Sanatoxine?
32985Seems so? 32985 She told you what?"
32985Should we wish to communicate with you, where may we be able to find you, Doctor?
32985So much so that she could swallow without difficulty?
32985So much so that you would not have suspected that he wished her any harm, would you?
32985So that the slow pulse would not necessarily indicate poison?
32985So that there was sufficient morphine solution left in the syringe, to have enabled Miss Conlin to taste it, as she claims to have done?
32985So that to be there, it must have been administered within two days, and could not have been there as a result of accumulation beyond that time?
32985So that you would say that this coma, did not specifically indicate morphine poisoning?
32985So this is certainly yours?
32985So whilst you two doctors argued, the patient died?
32985So you have found letters? 32985 Stealin'', Miss Grath?
32985Such a thing could not have occurred without your knowledge?
32985Supposing that she had been taking morphine prior to that time, do you think that it might have accumulated in her system, finally producing death?
32985Tell me, what do you remember?
32985That is to say thirty- two pellets have been taken out?
32985That is to say, he had more knowledge of this disease than you yourself?
32985That is to say, she must have had three grains, or more?
32985That is to say, you found yourself incompetent to control the disease?
32985That is, half an hour before you expected to be interrupted by the return of the nurse?
32985That she had Bright''s disease?
32985The Elixir of Life? 32985 The germ theory of crime?"
32985The membrane had all disappeared, had it not?
32985Then as far as you know, your wife did not take any morphine on the day of her death?
32985Then at least you admit that a dose, a large dose, was taken by the deceased in your presence, on the day of her death?
32985Then from these facts do you think that she died of opium poisoning?
32985Then he was her child?
32985Then how do you purpose evading the law?
32985Then if the chemical analysis shows the actual presence of opium, would you say that this patient died of opium poisoning?
32985Then in your dream you imagined that you saw that wonderful place?
32985Then it is a fact? 32985 Then of course you saw no symptoms of Bright''s disease?"
32985Then that self- administered dose was sufficient to cause death?
32985Then there was a fire and you watched the house burning?
32985Then why take the risk of a trial? 32985 Then why was the baby given to Margaret Grath?"
32985Then would you say that three grains would be a lethal dose?
32985Then you adhere to the story which you told upon the stand?
32985Then you are happy in your present state?
32985Then you are happy, when you are asleep like this?
32985Then you are not going to explain this thing to me?
32985Then you do not love Agnes Dudley?
32985Then you do not think that three, or three and a half grains of morphia would have caused the death of your wife?
32985Then you rushed forward and fell into this well?
32985Then you saw him put the syringe in a case, and place the case in his pocket, I think you said?
32985Then you trust me?
32985Then, on the whole, Dr. Meredith was inaccurate when he said that you and he are not enemies?
32985There is no hope?
32985Therefore you decided to claim that the drug was self- administered, knowing that the administration would be proved?
32985Three grains or more?
32985True, but I suppose you are leading to something else?
32985Unusually large you mean?
32985Upon what ground, Mr. Dudley,asked the Recorder,"do you make this motion?"
32985Very true, but because Deleuze did not understand a phenomenon, does it logically follow that there is no explanation of it to be had?
32985Waiting for me?
32985Was it a case like this?
32985Was it after this that you attacked one of his papers in debate?
32985Was it not because Moses, or the author of the earlier books, had more data concerning the events following the Flood, than those which preceded it? 32985 Was not your paper sent to the journal as usual, and was it not rejected by the journal?"
32985Was that the same phial which you brought to me?
32985Was the breathing stertorous?
32985Was there any morphine in this case when you last saw it?
32985Well, Robert, what of it?
32985Well, did she have a child?
32985Well, from what you did find, can you state what quantity must have been administered?
32985Well, has your paper been published anywhere?
32985Well, if you know, why did you ask me?
32985Well, is there a child?
32985Well, now, suppose that a patient had some kidney trouble, such as Bright''s disease, would not morphine be retained in this way?
32985Well, then, during that last three hours did you, or any one else, in your presence, inject, or administer morphine in any form to Miss Sloane?
32985Well, what did you see?
32985Well,said she, scarcely waiting to be seated,"what have you found out?"
32985Well,_ cara mia_, are you glad to have me with you again?
32985Were you present when Miss Sloane died?
32985What about the incident of the fire reported in the papers?
32985What are they?
32985What are you doin''out here all by yourself?
32985What can he do? 32985 What did he say to you at that time?"
32985What did you do with these tablets?
32985What did you see when you entered?
32985What do I think?
32985What do you mean by all that noise?
32985What do you mean? 32985 What do you mean?"
32985What do you mean?
32985What do you mean?
32985What do you say? 32985 What do you think of the lad?"
32985What does it rebut?
32985What does this mean, Leon?
32985What does this mean?
32985What effect does atropine have upon the pupils?
32985What explanation have you to make of such conduct?
32985What happened between you after your return?
32985What have you been doing up in the country, Doctor?
32985What have you to say to that?
32985What is a medicinal dose?
32985What is it, Robert?
32985What is it, mother?
32985What is love?
32985What is that? 32985 What is the matter with him?"
32985What of it? 32985 What of it?
32985What secret?
32985What sort of case was it?
32985What then is it? 32985 What will you do?"
32985When was that?
32985When were you married, and by whom?
32985When you went out did you state when you would return?
32985Where is the fire?
32985Who are you?
32985Who is this other?
32985Why did you come to so singular a conclusion?
32985Why did you do that?
32985Why did you mistrust me before then?
32985Why do you ask? 32985 Why do you say it served him right?"
32985Why do you say''of course''?
32985Why do you think that, Doctor, when you have just said truly, that such a fact would be impossible?
32985Why not? 32985 Why so?"
32985Why, how should I know?
32985Why, there is nothing odd about that, is there?
32985Will that be satisfactory?
32985Will you come down now and speak to Leon before I take him out with me? 32985 Will you shake hands, as a sign that you forgive my unintentional rudeness?
32985Will you state who this friend is?
32985Will you state why you conclude that Miss Sloane died of morphine poisoning?
32985Will you take us a little further into your doctrine?
32985Will you take your medicine?
32985With what purpose would you show them the letters?
32985Yet she was in such a condition that she could not even swallow coffee?
32985You are ashamed of your name, are you? 32985 You are asleep now?"
32985You ask for proof? 32985 You attended Miss Mabel Sloane in her last illness, I believe?"
32985You attended Miss Sloane in her last illness, Doctor?
32985You did that?
32985You do not contemplate suicide?
32985You do? 32985 You expect assistance from me?"
32985You followed me to- day?
32985You gave him the poison?
32985You have been taking every night the draught which I prescribed?
32985You have claimed,continued the lawyer,"that Miss Sloane administered morphine to herself?"
32985You have detected that? 32985 You have no evidence, beyond your own word, that Dr. Meredith acted as you have charged?"
32985You have no positive knowledge that it was stolen, have you?
32985You have not felt what it is to love a woman?
32985You have not?
32985You have those letters?
32985You have? 32985 You mean that jails should be reformatories?"
32985You mean that you have hypnotized Agnes?
32985You mean that you will take me into that chamber, which you have found?
32985You mean three and one half grains?
32985You mean you think she died of morphine poisoning?
32985You never told any friend, before the death of this girl, that Dr. Meredith had persecuted her?
32985You poisoned Lossy, and you dare to tell me of it?
32985You remember all that I told you to- night before you went to sleep?
32985You saw your wife''s mother beat her, you say?
32985You say Leon saw me take a culture tube from the laboratory?
32985You see and hear me?
32985You surely do not suppose that you can deceive the experts by shamming madness?
32985You told her to remain until nine o''clock?
32985You took it away from her after she had taken nearly all of the dose?
32985You were naughty, down stairs, little one?
32985You will forget that there was a fire?
32985You will forget that you followed me?
32985You will forget that you followed me?
32985You will forget that you saw me and heard me speaking to a woman?
32985You will forget that?
32985You will forget the secret staircase?
32985You will forget this room?
32985You will play the spy upon me, will you? 32985 You will remember all this?"
32985You will sleep, whenever I wish you to do so?
32985You will surrender to the police?
32985You wish to escape?
32985You? 32985 You?
32985Your own name?
32985Your pleasure to deprive a poor dumb brute of life? 32985 _ Ardath_, and you do not remember the name of the author?
32985''What experience have you?''
32985''What references can you offer?''
32985Addressing his wife he asked:"Did you do that?
32985After weighing the matter thoroughly in your own mind, do you believe it is possible for one person to mesmerize another?"
32985Again he ventured:"You will forget that you followed me?
32985Again you essay a comparison: but what happens now?
32985Am I not correct?"
32985Am I not right?
32985Am I not right?"
32985Am I right, then, in concluding that you married him because you loved him?"
32985Am I to understand that you could not form an attachment of that kind which leads to matrimony?"
32985Am I wrong?"
32985Analyzed, what do we find it to be?
32985And are not both immortal?
32985And now?
32985And of Pasteur''s experiments?"
32985And with our stupid laws who may say when that may be?
32985And would you contend that love is the most important fact in the world?"
32985And you remained with her until she was actually dead?"
32985Are they genuine?
32985Are you asleep?"
32985Are you in love with any one?"
32985Are you particularly interested in any young man?
32985Are you satisfied that à � sculapius was originally an inhabitant of this continent?"
32985As a result of his argument, was not your paper refused publication by a leading medical journal?"
32985Asiatic cholera?
32985At least, does it not raise a doubt in your minds, which must be credited to Dr. Medjora, and which would deter you from sending him to the hangman?
32985Besides, how did the fire occur?
32985But I submit it to you, gentlemen, is that a probable tale?
32985But I?
32985But at them all you would be met with such questions as''Where did you work last?''
32985But do you not know that deglutition is most difficult in cases of diphtheria?"
32985But do you not see, that I have but to show that diphtheria caused death, and my innocence will be admitted?"
32985But do you remember?"
32985But do you side with the Christian, and claim that the dog is annihilated, while man is immortal?"
32985But does not the religious world claim that it is an inspired work?
32985But how can this immunity be acquired by a given individual?"
32985But how did she contract that disease?
32985But how to proceed?
32985But how?
32985But if so, what would you have done?"
32985But if so, why were you afraid that I would do what you emphatically believe to be an impossibility?"
32985But if you go away from me, what will you do?"
32985But in the great city which he approached, was he not destined to make a new name for himself?
32985But is not mind an attribute of the human soul, and conscience too?
32985But is the proposition proved, even though you have these several witnesses to the actual drowning?
32985But is this even proved?
32985But note well the speech of even the most liberally educated and carefully nurtured, and what do we discover?
32985But the boy?
32985But what of that?
32985But what of the after effects?
32985But when the cross- examination begins, what do we see?
32985But why not send Jack after him now?
32985But why?
32985But will it so remain?
32985But you have read, or heard of such cases?"
32985But, gentlemen of the jury, are all indicted men tried?
32985But, gentlemen, how does that effect this case?
32985But, gentlemen, what of that?
32985By Dr. Medjora, as the prosecution have claimed?
32985By whom?
32985Can we assail such evidence with the cry of bias, merely because it comes within the general category of expert testimony?
32985Can you even compute the brief moment of time in which the withdrawal could have been effected?
32985Can you recall a day in all her life, when Agnes has been ill?
32985Can you throw any light upon that phase of the question?"
32985Coming forward she looked at Lossy a moment, and then said:"Do you think that the brute will die?"
32985Contracted?"
32985Could you prolong the hour a little to- night if I should not otherwise find time for what I wish to say?"
32985Days on which occurred some events of special moment?
32985Did I understand you that if we can show that Mabel died of diphtheria, our case is won?"
32985Did Matilda Grath know a secret which the Doctor would wish to have suppressed?
32985Did he ever tell you the truth about that?"
32985Did not that surprise you?"
32985Did not the nurse return half an hour sooner than you expected her?"
32985Did she die a half hour after you entered her room?"
32985Did she tell you that?"
32985Did the Doctor tire of his pretty little musician, and wish to marry his rich friend who owns the carriage and horses?
32985Did you at that time administer a dose of morphine, a dose large enough to have caused death in the manner you have described?"
32985Did you buy him?"
32985Did you ever mistrust me?"
32985Did you know him before your connection with this case?"
32985Did you notice that specially?"
32985Did you, or did you not, discover symptoms of Bright''s disease?"
32985Disbelieving in mesmerism, have you yourself the power to charm or fascinate the lower animals?"
32985Do I so understand you?"
32985Do I state the facts clearly?"
32985Do n''t you hear?
32985Do you believe in mesmerism?"
32985Do you doubt that I am innocent?"
32985Do you follow me?"
32985Do you hear?"
32985Do you know whether, three days ago, there was a culture of the bacillus of diphtheria in the Doctor''s laboratory?"
32985Do you mean that he is the most skilled expert that you know?"
32985Do you mean that you would begin the battle at once, to- day?"
32985Do you not find that you are less easily fatigued?"
32985Do you not hear?
32985Do you not know, that what a man thinks is not admissible in evidence?"
32985Do you not see that you must consent to this union?"
32985Do you promise?"
32985Do you remember?"
32985Do you still trust me?"
32985Do you suppose that they would call an expert, if they knew that his honest opinions would controvert their claims?
32985Do you then advise me to surrender myself?
32985Do you think that one might sleep soundly, and nevertheless dream?"
32985Do you understand that?"
32985Do you understand?"
32985Do you understand?"
32985Does he act the part of the hired lawyer and proceed, merely that he may collect a fee?
32985Does he speak the truth?"
32985Does it satisfy you; that is to say, do you consider that it is as excellent as it need be?"
32985Does it show that the drug was administered by any particular person?
32985Does it take ten minutes to withdraw a needle?
32985Does not the circumstantial evidence raise a doubt?
32985Does not the pulse become slow in many cases just before death?"
32985Does not this surely indicate to you that he had the opportunity to commit the foul deed?
32985Dudley?"
32985Evading my question, without apparently meaning to shirk a reply, he merely smiled and said,"Do you believe in that sort of thing?"
32985Finally he asked:"Then Dr. Meredith knew that Miss Sloane was your wife?"
32985Fisher?"
32985Fisher?"
32985For only a dog I was; or may I say, I am?
32985For we do n''t care about church, do we, old boy?
32985Grath?"
32985Had the poor beast gone mad?
32985Hain''t ye?"
32985Has the Western Union an office in the other world now, that dead men may send telegrams?"
32985Have I a soul?
32985Have you decided?"
32985Have you ever experienced the odd sensation of being present at your own funeral, as I am now?
32985Have you the courage and the energy to accept my offer?
32985He asked:"Doctor, do you recognize that?"
32985He certainly would think of that?
32985He did that?"
32985He folded his arms and, gazing coldly upon the wrathful woman, added,"What is it that you think you know?"
32985He had a very good excuse, for by accident,(_ sic?_) he had left his umbrella at the house the day before, and already it was growing cloudy.
32985He made one more effort, however, saying:"What is the date?"
32985He mused over the problem for a moment, and a shade of anxiety passed across his features, as he murmured,"What if I have made a mistake?
32985He must have started it himself, and, if so, with what object, except to cover up his escape?
32985He was fascinated, why might he not be hypnotized?
32985Hence I say,''Was it murder to kill a dog?''
32985Here in the treasure house of my great ancestor?
32985How can it be, in the absence of the drowned body?
32985How can my reason be destroyed by so small a dose as that which I have taken?
32985How can you think that?"
32985How could I forget that I, Emanuel Medjora, the Wizard, am not as other men?
32985How could I?
32985How could he be less than she?
32985How could he reject so good an authority as his morning paper?
32985How could this man have a claim upon his child greater than his own?
32985How could this youth cope with the skill of such a man?
32985How did I train them to this?
32985How did he come to be your''n?
32985How did he get at the poison?
32985How did you happen to lose this precious document?"
32985How do you come to that conclusion?"
32985How do you make that conform to your curious theory?
32985How does that occur, and why do you think it did not occur in this case?"
32985How frequently in life do we thus rush ruthlessly upon unsuspected crises in our fates?
32985How is it that these little wild animals would come to you?
32985How long have you been listening here?
32985How many of us in looking backward over life''s path, can summon up the phantoms of more than a few days?
32985How often do our joys and sorrows approach us hand in hand?
32985How shall I escape?"
32985How shall we judge between such conflicting evidence?
32985How should he accomplish it?
32985How should he accomplish it?
32985How willingly have seen the dread diphtheria remove her from his path, and save his soul from the stain of crime?
32985I had always supposed that it was either a myth, or an exaggeration of some local inundation?"
32985I have not the right to investigate your relations with other women?"
32985I like the line''Was it murder to kill a dog?''
32985I said that I liked the next line:''For only a dog I was; or may I say, I am?''
32985I say here I am, yet where am I?
32985I submit it to you, gentlemen, was not the hypothesis suggested by that question an ingenious one?
32985I thought that Grath was your name?"
32985I wonder if he read my thoughts?"
32985I, whom you expect to marry?
32985If I may go further, I would like to ask you why you have adopted this theory about yourself?
32985If you see one man shoot at another and see the other fall and die, can you say without further knowledge, that one killed the other?
32985If, according to your tenets, the wisest man is most certain of a future life, what of the most idiotic?"
32985If, then, knowledge is such a potent factor in the world''s affairs, can it be that it ceases to exist when a man dies?
32985In heaven''s name how?"
32985In the future if I try to make you sleep, you will not resist me?"
32985In your opinion would that account for the dilatation of the pupils just previous to death, which you say that you yourself observed?"
32985Irritated at the daring attempt of Xelhua, they hurled fire[ lightning?]
32985Is a slow death of this kind only possible where opium poisoning has occurred?"
32985Is he an idiot that he can not tell his name?"
32985Is it not better than money?"
32985Is it not so?"
32985Is it not true that it also acts differently upon the same individual at various times?"
32985Is it not true that the predominant theme with novelists is love?
32985Is not that enough, gentlemen, to satisfy you that, if this girl died of morphine, she died a natural death, and was not murdered?
32985Is not the skilled medical witness hired, and paid for his advocacy, just as that eminent lawyer was?
32985Is that about it?"
32985Is that clearly known?
32985Is that right?"
32985Is that true?"
32985Is that why you lighted it yourself?
32985Is that your idea of a quiet trip?"
32985Is the original hypothesis proven?
32985Is the sale of that dog all straight?"
32985It is reasonable to suppose that it does not: then what becomes of it?
32985It''s mine, an''I kin sell it, I spose,''thout gittin''your permission?"
32985Leon entered the reception- room in some surprise, and seeing Mr. Barnes he asked:"Is your errand of importance?
32985Leon suspects that I have committed a crime?
32985Leon what?"
32985Let me see them?"
32985Madame died of diphtheria, and since you admit that you can produce it by inoculation, what am I to believe?"
32985May I be permitted to ask what book you have?"
32985May I count upon you to do this?"
32985May I proceed?"
32985May I?"
32985Me steal?
32985Medjora?"
32985Medjora?"
32985Medjora?"
32985Medjora?"
32985Medjora?"
32985Mr. Barnes also chose to remain silent, until at last Leon stammered forth:"Why do you wish to see me?"
32985Mr. Barnes communed with himself for a brief moment, then suddenly asked:"You have had no children, I believe?"
32985Munson?"
32985Munson?"
32985Murderer did I say?
32985No, my dear friend, you and I are going to be a model couple, provided----""Provided what?"
32985None will deny that the wanton killing of a dog can never be forgotten, and if the dog remains in one''s mind, is not that a sort of immortality?"
32985Not intimately?
32985Nothing else occurred?"
32985Now did you observe the contracted pupils?"
32985Now having shown himself he spoke:"You are Leon Grath, I believe?"
32985Now how should he accomplish it?
32985Now is it not a fact that you and Dr. Medjora were enemies?"
32985Now kin you prove that?"
32985Now then, obliged to confine yourself to positive evidence in the present case, what could you do?
32985Now then, suppose that it could be shown that, since the death of Mabel Sloane, and prior to the trial, I had actually married this rich woman?"
32985Now there is no evidence whatever as to that?"
32985Now was there more than would be expected on a warm night such as that was?"
32985Now when did that occur?
32985Now why did you do that?"
32985Now with that knowledge would you be able to give us a definite answer?"
32985Now, had she remained the full time, she would not have known anything about this morphine incident?"
32985Now, how do you know that Medjora is dead after all?"
32985Now, of course you realized, being an intellectual man, that such evidence would weigh against you?"
32985Now, then, when you found that she was too ill to swallow, what else did you do?"
32985Now, to continue the reasons for our marriage, perhaps you would like to know why I intend to marry you?"
32985Now, what is a wizard?
32985Now, what is the situation on that last evening of her life?
32985Now, why?
32985Of course you have that letter?"
32985Of opium and its alkaloids especially, is what I mean?"
32985One old woman approached Leon and sought information, thus:"Be you the boy that Marg''ret Grath took offen the county farm?"
32985Or did the threat merely mean that the Doctor could be made to suffer through his affection for Leon?
32985Or five minutes, or one minute?
32985Or if the child were alive, then why did she never allude to it?
32985Or is the word applicable only to Man, who is immortal?
32985Or one second, gentlemen?
32985Or rather who was he?
32985Pardon my asking if it is a predominant emotion with yourself?"
32985Perhaps she might have mentioned it in her will?
32985Perhaps you would like to refresh your memory?"
32985Please state whether you examined the organs of the deceased, and with what result?"
32985Pray then how did she contract it?"
32985Remembering that he had been paid for advocating the cause in behalf of which he was testifying, how much weight would his evidence have?
32985See how faint his respirations are?"
32985Served him right, only it is a great case missed by us lawyers, eh?"
32985Shall I be proof that Christianity contains a flaw?
32985Shall I do so?"
32985Shall I surrender myself to the District Attorney, and so destroy argument number one, as you suggested?"
32985She had dreamed of love, and she had coupled Leon with that idea in some way, but why should it disturb her to find that it was but a dream?
32985She looked up into his eyes and merely murmured,"You will forgive me?"
32985Shortly after your entrance into her room she died, did she not?"
32985Should he use them?
32985So that such a condition might readily be mistaken for a gradually deepening coma?"
32985So there was not much sweat after all?
32985Stooping over him he placed his lips close to Leon''s ear and said:"Can you hear me?
32985Suppose that we show that from either the first, or the second, or the third fact, we can trace back to other causes as producing the result?
32985Suppose, then, that associate counsel should place this most eminent lawyer upon the stand as an expert witness?
32985Supposing that he wished to rid himself of this girl, how gladly would he have awaited for her death by natural causes?
32985Surely she could not be in love with Leon?
32985That I would bring you so far and then abandon you to your own resources?
32985That an eminent scientist would go upon the witness stand, and perjure himself merely because he has been engaged to substantiate a given proposition?
32985That idea does not please you, does it?"
32985That is not uncommon in diphtheria, is it, Doctor?"
32985That is why I asked, and why I ask again, have you decided, from what you have read of my case, that I am guilty?
32985That is your best diagnostic symptom, is it not, Doctor?"
32985That is, was he kind, or was he indifferent?"
32985The Doctor continued, as though soliloquizing:"So you are the detective that my wife engaged?
32985The Doctor seated himself in a comfortable Turkish chair, and began as follows:"Leon, are you tired?
32985The drollery which aroused his mirth, was that, if a name might be inherited, why might not Margaret Grath have bequeathed hers to him?
32985The open fields, with the green grass, and the trees, and the birds, and the bright sunlight is all the church we need, is n''t it, old doggy?"
32985The senior member of your firm?"
32985The youth now left to buffet with the world alone?
32985Then I am to understand that you and he were good friends?"
32985Then am I not immortal, since though dead, I may speak the charmed words?
32985Then are the lawyers for the prosecution any more human than we?
32985Then having, as he thought, led his man away from his defence, he asked quickly,"But tell me, why have you not surrendered before?"
32985Then how comes it that I am here?
32985Then how do you know that he did make the injection, if one was made at all?"
32985Then if I do not bid him rise, am I a murderer?
32985Then of course you made some effort to save her life, did you not?
32985Then the Doctor resumed:"Leon, did you suppose that I meant to let you go away?
32985Then this woman had some kidney disease?
32985Then turning towards Mr. Dudley he said:"You are Mr. Dudley, I believe?
32985Then which of them all is the true fact, and which is mere speculation?"
32985Then who was she?
32985Then why should not she lose her life in payment for the crime which she had committed, her victim being a defenceless and confiding dog?
32985Then why should we discard the evidence of the one, and accept the other?
32985Then why the blush?
32985Then you did know him?
32985Then you remember me?"
32985Theos has said:"Then the upshot of all your learning sir, is that one can never be quite certain of anything?"
32985There is no but?
32985There, what do you think of that?"
32985Therefore he asked:"What do you think of Miss Dudley?"
32985Therefore, he says most pertinently,''or may I say, I am?''
32985Therefore, when you read my name on my card this morning, you thought it a good opportunity to track a murderer, did you not?
32985These are strong words, but what does Lord Campbell mean?
32985This is true; but, gentlemen, what does that signify?
32985To such wooing as this how could woman answer?
32985To what clime did he owe allegiance by birth?
32985Unless----?"
32985Upon what do they rely for the accomplishment of their purpose?
32985Upon what facts is it based?"
32985Was he not a man, while she-- she was only a woman?
32985Was it murder to kill a dog?
32985Was that murder?
32985Was that why you called at night?"
32985Were they not loath to call Dr. Fisher?
32985Were you on duty on the day of her death?"
32985Were you sent for?"
32985What are those tablets?"
32985What care I though it should be annihilated?
32985What defence could we rely upon to refute such damning evidence as that?
32985What did they say of her condition?"
32985What disease should he choose?
32985What do you know about that mysterious subject?"
32985What do you know of that?"
32985What do you suspect?"
32985What do you wish me to do about him?"
32985What else was it that you wished to say?"
32985What have you to say to that?"
32985What if I should fail?
32985What is it?"
32985What is that other side?
32985What is the test of immortality?
32985What is the usual punishment of murder?
32985What is your last name, your full name?"
32985What is your name?
32985What is your name?"
32985What is your opinion of that?"
32985What is your price?"
32985What next?
32985What occurs then?
32985What of it?"
32985What of it?"
32985What should her punishment be?
32985What then has departed?
32985What then is this potential power which has left the body?
32985What was his reply?
32985What would be the first effects of a cataclysm of such magnitude?
32985What, risk your precious life again?
32985When can you give it to me?
32985Where did you find the greater quantity?"
32985Where is it?"
32985Where is it?"
