7878Do all your ideas forsake you?
7878Do you wish the floor to open and swallow you?
7878Does your voice frighten you?
7878Six feet,did I say?
7878And why should it, when its purposes might be better served in another spot?

7878How do you do?
7878If these aerolites are bits of other planets, how happen they to be always iron?

13235_ September 4._--_Monday._--In the evening got a cable from"London,"apparently meant for Henry( my brother), saying"How are you?"
13235_ September 7._--To my delight this afternoon, I heard a voice at my tent door, saying,"Is Childers here?"
46028What for?
46028After taking hold of his hand, he looked down into the dying man''s face and said:"Brother Fordham, do you not know me?"
46028And what had brought us here?
46028He again said:"Elijah, do you not know me?"
46028How many were cast out of heaven down to the earth?
46028How many were there to come down and take tabernacles?
46028I asked him"For what crime?"
46028I have some three thousand names of the dead who have been baptized for, and how can I get endowments for them?"
46028Joseph replied:"What did you say that for?
46028Joseph then said:"Do you believe that Jesus is the Christ?"
46028Now, boys, how would you like this position?
46028On your first mission, without a companion or friend, and to be called upon to preach to such a congregation?
46028One lady ran to her door, pushed her spectacles to the top of her head, raised her hands, and exclaimed:"What under heavens has broken loose?"
46028She asked:"What for?"
46028The Prophet then said,"Have you not faith to be healed?"
46028The unbeliever may ask:"Was there not deception in this?"
46028We had accomplished the mission without a dog moving his tongue at us, or any man saying,"Why do you do so?"
46028We had spent a pleasant time together, and he rejoiced at my visit; and who would not, to meet with a friend in a lonely prison?
46028What for?
46028When we commenced work in the temple I began to reflect:"How can I redeem my dead?
46028and from whom dost thou receive thy power and blessings, but from God?
42856Children? 42856 No,"says H."What for?"
42856Then,said I,"he has not drunk much strong liquor?"
42856Well,says Mary,"why ca n''t I be his mamma?
42856What is the difference between mothers and mammas?
42856Where are you going?
42856Why have you not a pension?
42856Wo n''t you? 42856 Ca n''t he have more mammas than one?
42856I joined in,"Have you any children?"
42856I then said,"Wo n''t they take care of you?"
42856I turned back, and said,"You are begging?"
42856Mary said to Hartley,"Shall I take Derwent with me?"
42856Query: Are the male and female flowers on separate trees?
42856Query: What trees are they?
42856We could not conjecture what this building was; it appeared as if it had been built strong to defend it from storms; but for what purpose?
42856We said,"What, does he do nothing for his relations?

45051Am I justly indebted on this journey?
45051At about eight o''clock the brethren were called together and the question asked: shall we go on in the rain or wait until it is fair?
45051But will you take a joke?
45051Did you dance?
45051Did you hoe down all?
45051Did you play cards?
45051Did you play checkers?
45051Did you quarrel with each other and threaten each other?
45051Did you swear?
45051Did you use profane language?
45051Do n''t you know it?
45051How would you feel?
45051Last winter when we had our seasons of recreation in the council house, I went forth in the dance frequently, but did my mind run on it?
45051Now what have I done for Brother Kimball?
45051Suppose the angels were witnessing the hoe down the other evening, and listening to the haw haws the other evening, would they not be ashamed of it?
45051We are beyond their grasp, and what has the devil now to work upon?
45051Well, then, why do n''t you try to put it down?
45051What of the personal characteristics of our subject?
45051What would you say for yourselves?
45051Would you not want to go and hide up?
7881And his second duty?
7881Yes,said he,"did you know who drew them?"
7881A beautiful feature of the scene to- day, as the preceding day, were the vines growing on fig- trees(?)
7881After emerging from the gate, we soon came to the little Church of"Domine, quo vadis?"
7881But how does this accord with what I have been saying only a minute ago?
7881Could not all that sanctity at least keep it thawed?
7881Did anybody ever see Washington nude?
7881Does his spirit manifest itself in the semblance of flame?
7881Has a man a flame inside of his head?
7881Have I spoken of the sumptuous carving of the capitals of the columns?
7881How came that flower to grow among these wild mountains?
7881How then can the decayed picture of a great master ever be restored by the touches of an inferior hand?
7881I somewhat question whether it is quite the thing, however, to make a genuine woman out of an allegory we ask, Who is to we d this lovely virgin?
7881Is there such a rural class in Italy?
7881We heard Gaetano once say a good thing to a swarm of beggar- children, who were infesting us,"Are your fathers all dead?"
7881What shall we do in America?
7881What would he do with Washington, the most decorous and respectable personage that ever went ceremoniously through the realities of life?
7881Where should the light come from?

8089Did you hit it?
8089Is that a burden of sunshine on Apollo''s back?
8089What did you fire at?
8089Where''s the man- mountain of these Liliputs?
8089And what becomes of the birds in such a soaking rain as this?
8089And what delusion can be more lamentable and mischievous, than to mistake the physical and material for the spiritual?
8089And what is there to write about?
8089But how is he to accomplish it?
8089By the by, was there ever any rain in Paradise?
8089Can the tolling of the Old South bell be painted?
8089Did you ever behold such a vile scribble as I write since I became a farmer?
8089Did you know what treasures of wild grapes there are in this land?
8089How came these little birds out of their nests at night?
8089I am not quite so strict as I should be in keeping him out of the house; but I commiserate him and myself, for are we not both of us bereaved?
8089Is hope and an instinctive faith so mixed up with their nature that they can be cheered by the thought that the sunshine will return?
8089Is it a praiseworthy matter that I have spent five golden months in providing food for cows and horses?
8089Is not this consummate discretion?
8089Is truth a fantasy which we are to pursue forever and never grasp?
8089What could the little bird mean by pouring it forth at midnight?
8089What had I done, that it should bemaul me so?
8089What is the price of a day''s labor in Lapland, where the sun never sets for six months?
8089What should we do without fire and death?
8089When shall we be able to walk again to the far hills, and plunge into the deep woods, and gather more cardinals along the river''s margin?
8089Why should they meet destruction from the radiance that proves the salvation of other beings?
8089and am I not perfectly safe?
8089or do they think, as I almost do, that there is to be no sunshine any more?
8089what so miserable as to lose the soul''s true, though hidden knowledge and consciousness of heaven in the mist of an earth- born vision?
8088Friend,says one man,"how is the tide now?"
8088He said, sir,` What does he send me this damned stuff for?'' 8088 Is it an affectionate greeting?"
8088What may I call your name?
8088A friend asked him,"How doth your lordship?"
8088At parting, Eliza said to the girl,"What do you think I heard somebody say about you?
8088But who must be the giver of the feast, and what his claims to preside?
8088For the writing, perhaps; but would it be so for the reading?
8088For their friends to condole with them when they attained riches and honor, as only so much care added?
8088Have you seen Boston Light this morning?"
8088He asked the most direct questions of another young man; for instance,"Are you married?"
8088How many different scenes it sheds light on?
8088Is not this a beautiful morning?
8088Meditations about the main gas- pipe of a great city,--if the supply were to be stopped, what would happen?
8088One asked,--"Is she your daughter?"
8088Speaking of the widow, he said:"My wife has been dead these seven years, and why should not I enjoy myself a little?"
8088The black fellow asked,--"Do you want to see her?"
8088The dying exclamation of the Emperor Augustus,"Has it not been well acted?"
8088To put on bridal garments at funerals, and mourning at weddings?
8088Was this the Virginian Smith?
8088What moral could be drawn from this?
8088What were the contents of the burden of Christian in the Pilgrim''s Progress?
8088What would a man do, if he were compelled to live always in the sultry heat of society, and could never bathe himself in cool solitude?
8088What would be its effect?
8088Who would buy, if the price were to be paid down?
8088Would it not be wiser for people to rejoice at all that they now sorrow for, and vice versa?
8088did you ever hear anything like that?"
8088do you suppose I''d give you good money?"
4184Why so?
4184Why,says H. Bellasses,"you will not hurt me coming out, will you?"
4184--"Not I?"
4184And all our prizes who did swallow?
4184And the Duke of York said further,"What said Marshal Turenne, when some in vanity said that the enemies were afraid, for they entrenched themselves?
4184And who the forts left unprepared?
4184I did then desire to know what was the great matter that grounded his desire of the Chancellor''s removal?
4184Impudent rascal, do you ask me for money?
4184Is not this a high reason?
4184It was pleasantly said by a man in this City, a stranger, to one that told him that the peace was concluded,"Well,"says he,"and have you a peace?"
4184My business the most of the afternoon is listening to every body that comes to the office, what news?
4184Old Woman to Young Master:''An''''ow is the missis to- day, door wretch?''
4184So out he went, and both drew: and H. Bellasses having drawn and flung away his scabbard, Tom Porter asked him whether he was ready?
4184Tom Killigrew, being by, answered,"Sir,"says he,"pray which is the best for a man, to be a Tom Otter to his wife or to his mistress?"
4184Who all commands sold through the Navy?
4184Who all our seamen cheated of their debt?
4184Who all our ships exposed in Chatham net?
4184Who did advise no navy out to set?
4184Who should it be but the fanatick Pett?
4184Who the Dutch fleet with storms disabled met, And, rifling prizes, them neglected?
4184Who to supply with powder did forget Languard, Sheerness, Gravesend, and Upnor?

4184Who would not follow when the Dutch were beat?
4184Whose counsel first did this mad war beget?
4184Will you pay me, sir?
4184are they quarrelling, that they talk so high?"
4184says he:"I would have you know that I never quarrel, but I strike; and take that as a rule of mine!"--"How?"
4184says the Duchess,"what should he go for, if he were well, for there are no ships for him to command?
4184will it not make the pot boyle?"
42857For why? 42857 What know we of the Blest above But that they sing and that they love?"
42857What''s Yarrow but a river bare, That glides the dark hills under? 42857 A traveller who was riding by our side called out,Can that be the Castle?"
42857Can merry- making enter here?
42857Deaf, drooping, such is now his doom; His world is in that single room-- Is this a place for mirthful cheer?
42857Does then the bard sleep here indeed?
42857For were the bold man living now, How might he flourish in his pride With buds on every bough?
42857From the foot of these mountains whither might not a little barque carry one away?
42857He spoke English tolerably; but seldom understood what was said to him without a"What''s your wull?"
42857In spots like these it is we prize Our memory, feel that she hath eyes: Then why should I be loth to stir?
42857It is impossible even to remember( therefore, how should I enable any one to imagine?)
42857It is impossible to look at the stone without asking, How came it hither?
42857It was a very wild object, that could not but be noticed; and_ when_ noticed the question must follow-- how came it there?
42857On seeing a smoke, I exclaimed,"Is it possible any people can live there?"
42857Or did there belong to it some inheritance of superstition from old times?
42857Or have they now on those who continue to frequent it?
42857Or is it but a groundless creed?
42857Or shall we say an age too soon?
42857Said generous Rob,"What need of books?
42857There''s pleasant Teviot Dale, a land Made blithe with plough and harrow, Why throw away a needful day, To go in search of Yarrow?
42857Those people carried each a large burthen, which we supposed to be of hay; but where was hay to be procured on these precipices?
42857Was it merely from being a central situation and a conspicuous object?
42857We left these famous virgins( though our own countrywomen), unvisited, and many other strange sights; and what wonder?
42857What hand but would a garland cull For thee, who art so beautiful?
42857What matters it?
42857What shall I say of Calais?
42857Why then had it been selected for such a purpose?
42857Will no one tell me what she sings?
42857and for what purpose?
42857eagerly asking"where?"
42857for they are not merely_ summer_ tenants of the village:--and who, that could find another hold in the land, would dwell there the year through?
42857said she,"what would not I give to see anybody that came from within four or five miles of Leadhills?"
42857why should we undo it?
42857you are stepping westward?"
42857you are stepping westward?"
39979A bad night this, strangers; how came you to be along the fence? 39979 And where is it?"
39979And why to- morrow, Mr. Audubon? 39979 And why,"answered I,"have you left your quarters, where certainly you must have fared better than in these unwholesome swamps?"
39979Are you hurt, sir?
39979But how are we to get them out?
39979How much?
39979How, sir?
39979My wife and I teach them all that is_ useful_ for them to know, and is not that enough? 39979 No?"
39979Pray, friend, what have you killed?
39979There,said he,"did not I tell you so; is it not rare sport?"
39979Toby, come back; do n''t you know the stranger is not up to the woods? 39979 What now?"
39979What now?
39979All this raised my curiosity to such a height that I accosted him with,"Pray, sir, will you allow me to examine the birds you have in that cage?"
39979But what is description compared with the reality?
39979Can he swim well?
39979Can you see the poor toad kicking and flouncing in the water?
39979Do you paint, sir?"
39979Have they told you that this boat was used, after the tedious voyage was ended, as the first dwelling of these new settlers?
39979I nodded, and he continued,"What the devil do you know about birds, sir?"
39979If our Congress will not allow our traders to sell whiskey or rum to the Indians, why should not the British follow the same rule?
39979Now ought not this subject to be brought before the press in our country and forwarded to England?
39979Now who will tell me that no animal can compete with this Fox in speed, when Harris, mounted on an Indian horse, overtook it in a few minutes?
39979Shall I ever have the pleasure of seeing that good, that generous man again?
39979Shall I speak to him, and ask him the result of this first essay?
39979Shall I tell you that I have seen masses of these logs heaped above each other to the number of five thousand?
39979The Indians, who were quite numerous, clustered about him, and asked him what the bird came to him for?
39979The loss proved too much for him; he called his wife, and, after telling her what a faithful husband he had been, said to her,"Why should we live?
39979Thirty, or thirty thousand?
39979What do you think, reader, as to the number of Cod secured in this manner in a single haul?
39979What sort of bed can you fix for them?"
39979What''s that?
39979Where now are the bulls which erst scraped its earth away, bellowing forth their love or their anger?
39979Who could have heard such a tale without emotion?
39979Who could not with a little industry have helped himself to a few of their skins?
39979Who is he of the settlers on the Mississippi that can not realize some profit?
39979Who knows but I may shoot a turkey or a deer?
39979Who''s there?
39979Who, in this world, man or fish, has not enough of them?
39979[ Andrew?]
39979all we cared for is taken from us, and why not at once join our child in the land of the Great Spirit?"
39979ay and Ravens too?
39979for to say,"What have you shot at?"
39979what do you mean?"
39979why did you kill so many Crows last winter?
39979you''ve played us a trick, have you?
43520And for what reason?
43520And pray, madam,said the same spirit to the sixth passenger,"How came you to leave the other world?"
43520Have you so?
43520How did you come to your end, sir?
43520Sir,said I,"you tell me wonders: but if his bank be to decrease only a shilling a day, how can he furnish all passengers?"
43520Well, sir,said he,"how many translations have these few last years produced of my à � neid?"
43520What mysteries?
43520What works?
43520''How dost thou mean?''
43520''Why, how now?''
43520And what, it may be said, are these men- of- war which seem so delightful an object to our eyes?
43520At last, with a kind of forced smile, she said,"I suppose the pill and drop go on swimmingly?"
43520Can I say then I had no fear?
43520Can gentlefolks lie a whole night at a public- house for less?
43520Can you believe I would not give this man his own wine?
43520Did you think I sold you the command of my ship for that pitiful thirty pounds?
43520For, in reality, who constitutes the different degrees between men but the taylor?
43520Hath he not more merit to me who doth my business and obeys my commands, without any of these qualities?''
43520Have I not fifty left?''
43520He answered sullenly,"Doth Mr Leibnitz know my mind better than myself?"
43520He then asked me if I should not be much pleased to be a queen?
43520He then replied, with a frown,''Can such a wretch conceive any hopes of entering Elysium?''
43520How shall we account for this depravity in taste?
43520I immediately repaired to Mr Powney, and inquired very eagerly whether he had not more of the same manuscript?
43520I then importuned him to acquaint me in which of the cities which contended for the honour of his birth he was really born?
43520In which she so greatly succeeded( for what can not a favourite woman do with one who deserves the surname of Simple?)
43520Is it----?
43520My curiosity would not refrain asking him one question,_ i.e._, whether in reality he had any desire to obtain the crown?
43520The Simple, who would still speak to me, cried out,''So, fool, what''s the matter now?''
43520The consequence to him, I suppose you know, was ruin; but what was it to me?
43520To whom is he to apply?
43520What then is to be done in this case?
43520What then ought in general to be so plentiful, what so cheap, as fish?
43520What then so properly the food of the poor?
43520Why then should not the voyage- writer be inflamed with the glory of having seen what no man ever did or will see but himself?

43520Would it not serve the purpose as well if he parted only with the single shilling, which it seems is all he is really to lose?"

43520what comfort did my long journey bring me?
43520why yes, to be sure; why should not travellers pay for candles?
39641But how is one ever to be sure?
39641By the way, Judith, where is that fascinating little flirt of a cousin of yours?
39641Did they quarrel that way_ before_ they were married?
39641Did you ever see the stars so bright? 39641 Do n''t you care?"
39641How did Uncle Darcy take it?
39641How did you find me?
39641How did you know?
39641How do I know he''ll ever come back?
39641How many hours now?
39641Only what?
39641So anxious to get away?
39641Tell him_ what_ about her?
39641The little goldilocks in blue, or the one under the red parasol?
39641Well?
39641What''s become of that good- looking doctor?
39641Which one said it?
39641Without my having done my part to win it?
39641_ Will_ you do that?
39641After all, what difference will it make a thousand years from now if they do tag?
39641And dear old Uncle Darcy-- in the very first hour of his terrible loneliness-- how could I forget to ask comfort for_ him_?
39641And now-- oh how can I tell what followed, or how it began?
39641As we started towards the stairs she gave me a puzzled look which said as plainly as words,"Now what did you do_ that_ for?"
39641Babe said probably it was the work of hands long dead and gone, and did n''t it seem sad that they should come to this end?
39641Besides, why should n''t he see his own floral offering?
39641But not till one of them asked,"Where''s the boy now?"
39641Could I come and help him hold the fort for awhile?
39641Do n''t you believe that He''d let a mother, even up in heaven, have some way to comfort and help a son who was offering_ his_ life to save the world?
39641Do you realize I''ve only four more days left to spend in this old town?
39641Ever since they left I''ve gone around humming:"What''s this dull town to me?
39641He believed in''em now and_ could n''t_ I,_ would n''t_ I----?
39641He said was n''t it"better to be a live dog than a dead lion?"
39641Helping us as Israel was helped, by the invisible hosts and chariots of fire, in the mountain round about Elisha?"
39641How could I be selfish enough to think of anything but the great need?
39641How could I endure the ordinary orbit of my days?
39641How do we know but what those who watch and wait for us up there are not aiding us in ways greater than we dream possible?
39641How do we know that the windows of heaven are not hung with stars that mean the same thing?
39641How does one ever become reconciled to being old?
39641How is one to know?
39641I had been mistaken in one thing, why not in others?
39641Is Richard still there?
39641Is it too late for you to come down for a few minutes?
39641Is n''t that wonderfully appropriate?"
39641It lighted up both faces, and, as I looked at his, I whispered through tears:"What does a little guerdon matter to a soul like yours, John Wynne?
39641It seems dreadfully deceitful, but what else can I do?
39641On the way home I asked,"Did you ever see such devotion?"
39641One feels that she met it with a broom, saying:"Shall birds and bees and ants be wise While I my moments waste?
39641Some other artist- looking man followed him in, and I heard him say as he caught up with him:"Bart, have you heard the news about Moreland?
39641Suppose he''d be killed?"
39641The wonder of it, the rapture of it?
39641There''s a double reason now, do n''t you see, with_ Dad_ to be avenged?
39641What difference if one little ant in the universe is happy or unhappy for one atom of time?
39641What is there about it at the source that Youth can not understand or should not talk about?
39641While Judith was answering, Esther laid her hand on my arm in her enthusiastic way and exclaimed in a low tone,"Who is that young Apollo you spoke to?
39641Why do n''t you wait till it''s all over and he comes back in peace times?"
39641Why should he sacrifice it for this careless young fellow, who by his own confession had never denied himself anything?
39641Would I walk up to the beach with her?
39641Yet how could I disappoint him?
39641and she said in that honey- sweet way of hers,"a yellow dog?"

19317Well, then,I persisted,"tell me, Admiral, what do_ you_ think?"
19317Would you like to get some more men ashore on''Y''beach? 19317 A couple of leader writers, a trio of special correspondents and half a dozen reporters? 19317 After he had told us his story, breathlessly and listened to with breathless interest, I asked him what about our troops atY"?
19317Am I to check the number of rounds in the limbers; on the beaches and in transit during a battle?

19317At last, he looked up and inquired,"Well?"

19317But they have not the invincible carelessness or temperamental springiness of the old lot-- and how should they?
19317But what are the facts?
19317But what is the number of these local troops?
19317But why bottle up trumps; trumps worth a King''s ransome, or a Kaiser''s?

19317Our star burns dim as a corpse light: the huge black chasm of space closes in: if only by blood...?
19317Possibly the matter has been referred to Maxwell for opinion?
19317Probably; but would there not also be berths taken in the Cunarder for a manager trained in the business side of journalism?
19317Rotten luck to have cut myself off from wiring to Winston: still I see no way out of it: with K. jealous as a tiger-- what can I do?

19317There are one or two in the know who think me"venturesome"but, after all, is not"nothing venture nothing win"an unanswerable retort?
19317These cables are repeated to London and when they get back here what will my own men think me?

19317Very sketchy; how could it be otherwise?
19317Was the firing then an hallucination-- a sort of sequel to the battle in my brain?

19317Well-- and why should n''t he ask?
19317Well; what staff would he send with him?
19317Well; what then; what of the worst?
19317Were we to prolong hesitation, or, were we, now that we had done the best we could with the means under our hands, to go boldly forward?
19317What better pick- me- up could Providence have provided for the badly- shaken Turks?

12422Did you ever read( but I am sure you never did, and no more did I), an epic poem on fresh- water fish?
12422Did your parson never tell you that your conscience was for yourself and not for your neighbours, Israel?''
12422Do n''t you think one might accept the rattlesnakes, or perhaps indeed the slavery, for the sake of the green peas?
12422Does not that sound very like the very best sort of free pride, the pride of character, the honourable pride of honesty, integrity, and fidelity?
12422Fits and hard labour in the fields, unpaid labour, labour exacted with stripes-- how do you fancy that?

12422I say, I am a free person, Mary-- do you know that?''
12422I was rather dismayed at the promptness of this reply, and hesitated a little at my next question,''Who is your father?''

28926What shall we do?
28926-- End of the Peninsula campaign-- Fifty or sixty thousand dead-- Who is responsible?
28926-- End of the Peninsula campaign-- Fifty or sixty thousand dead-- Who is responsible?
2892611._--Will any body in this country have the patriotic courage to reform the army?
28926258_ Consummatum est!_-- Will the outraged people avenge itself?
2892692 What will McClellan do?
28926And what is the army for?
28926And where has Seward acquired all this information?
28926Archbishop Hughes is to influence Paris and France,--but whom?
28926Are his heart, his soul, and his convictions to be looked for in the debate, or in the proclamation?
28926Are the European statesmen to be prepared beforehand, or are they to be befogged and prevented from judging for themselves?
28926Are we already so far?
28926But does Mr. Lincoln perceive other, more awful, signs of the times?
28926But if the rebellion is crushed before January 1st, 1863, what then?
28926But is that all which is needed in these terrible emergencies?
28926But is this the condition of the Union?
28926But will they have the energy?
28926Can Seward be fool enough to irritate England, and entangle this country?
28926Can Seward for a moment believe that Wikoff knows Europe, or has any influence?
28926Can anybody be a more noble incarnation of the American people than J. S. Wadsworth?
28926Can it be ignorance of this elementary knowledge with which is familiar every corporal in Europe?
28926Can this man never go out from this rotten treadmill?
28926Curious way of treating and dealing with rebellion, with rebels and traitors; why not arrest them?
28926Do these mummies intend to conduct a war without boldness?
28926Do they believe they can awake enthusiasm for their persons?
28926Do they not know better here in the ministry and in the councils?
28926Do they not know better?
28926Do those Fabiuses know what they talk about?
28926Does Seward believe it?
28926Does he see the bloody handwriting on the wall, condemning his unnatural, vacillating, dodging policy?
28926Has Scott used up his energy, his sense, and even his military judgment in defending Washington before the inauguration?
28926Has he not studied Napoleon''s wars?
28926Have they no blood; are they fishes?
28926Here,_ our great rulers and ministers_ shut the more closely their mind''s(?)
28926How are we to understand this man?
28926How can the Minister of Foreign Affairs advise the President to resort to such a measure?
28926How could it have been otherwise?
28926How far the diplomats sent by the administration are prepared for this task?
28926How will foreign nations behave?
28926How will the Congress act?
28926How will the people stand this masterly administrative demonstration?
28926I am sure that McClellan may lose the whole army, and why not if he continues as he began?
28926If he was so pugnacious in January, why has he not made with the same number of men a flying expedition only to Centreville, right under his nose?
28926If the rebels turn loyal before that term?
28926If the treasonable revolt is conceded to the Cotton States, on what ground can it be denied to the thus called Border States?
28926Is Seward so ignorant of international laws, of general or special history, or was it only said to throw dust?
28926Is he too old, or too much of a Virginian, or a hero on a small scale?
28926Is it possible to say such trash even as a joke?
28926Is that all that he knows of that hateful watchword-- strategy-- nausea repeated by every ignoramus and imbecile?
28926Is there any thing in the world capable of opening this people''s eyes?
28926Is there no penitentiary for all this mob?
28926Is this man mad?
28926Mr. Mercier retorted,"How can you, sir, have such notions?
28926Mr. Seward, Mr. Seward, why is your name to be recorded among the most ardent supporters of this_ strategy_?
28926O Mr. Seward, Mr. Seward, who is it that contributed to turn the current against the cause of right and of humanity?
28926Of what earthly use can be such_ politique provocatrice_ towards England?
28926Oh, why has he established his headquarters in the city, among flunkeys, wiseacres, and spit- lickers?
28926Oh, why this Congress possesses not the omnipotence of an English Parliament?
28926Or does his imagination or his patriotism carry him away or astray?
28926Or is it only to give some money to a hungry, noisy, and not over- principled office- seeker?
28926The men will come; but will statesmanship and generalship come with them?
28926The rebels act in this manner; but what point was found out, what blows were ever dealt by McClellan?
28926The vessel and the crew are excellent, and would easily obey the hand of a helmsman, but there is the rub, where to find him?
28926This movement was perhaps necessary, and could not be avoided; but why at the start had such a basis been selected?
28926Very well; but why not use for it the best, the most decided, and the most thorough means and measures?
28926Was it ignorance in McClellan, or his inborn disrespect of truth, or disrespect of the country, or something worse, that made him make such a report?
28926Was it neutral or honest?
28926Was not some Union- searching at the bottom of that stoppage?
28926Were the Magyars recognized as such in 1848-''49?
28926What a thoughtlessness to press on Russia the convention of Paris?
28926What an idea have those Americans of sending a secret agent to Canada, and what for?
28926What are doing in Europe all these various agents of Mr. Seward, and paid by Uncle Sam?
28926What can I do, what can I do?
28926What can signify his close alliance with such outlaws as Wikoff and the Herald, and pushing that sheet to abuse England and Lord Lyons?
28926What is the matter with Scott, or were the halo and incense surrounding him based on bosh?
28926What is the matter?
28926What is the use of urging on the foreign Cabinets-- above all, England and France-- to rescind the recognition of belligerents?
28926What is this administration about?
28926What is this wheel within a wheel?
28926What sacrifice the official leaders and pilots?
28926What the d---- is Seward with his politicians''policy?
28926What will McClellan do?
28926What will Mr. Seward say to it?
28926What will Seward and Chase say to it, and even old Abe, who himself dreams of re- election, or at least his friends do it for him?
28926What will be its march-- what stages?
28926What will be the result of this experimentalization, so contrary to sound reason?
28926What will he do with 600?
28926What will the anglophiles of Boston say to this?
28926When are his great plans to burst out?
28926When will they begin to see through McClellan, and find out that he is not the man?
28926When will they start, when begin to mould an army?
28926When will we deal blows?
28926When, oh, when will come the opposite?
28926Which of the two will be Mr. Lincoln''s fate?
28926Who around me approaches this ideal?
28926Who is to be taken in?
28926Why did not McClellan take_ the road_ himself, after Hooker was obliged to leave the field?
28926Why does Mr. Seward dabble in war and strategy at home?
28926Why does not the administration call for more on the North, and on the free States?
28926Why shows he not a little_ strategy_ under his nose here?
28926Why?
28926Will Halleck warn the country against McClellan''s incapacity?
28926Will McClellan display unity in conception, and vigor in execution?
28926Will it be one more illusion to be dispelled?
28926Will it turn out that the same men who are to- day at the head of affairs will be the men who shall bring to an end this revolt or revolution?
28926Will the cowardly murderers be exemplarily punished?
28926Will the shallow rhetors, will the would- be leaders in the Congress, be as subservient to the bunglers as they have been up to this hour?
28926Will this McClellan ever advance?
28926Will this outraged people avenge itself on the four or five diggers?
28926Yes, Stanton is, but how about some others?
28926_ Consummatum est!_-- Will the outraged people avenge itself?
28926_ Quousque tandem_--O SEWARD--_abutere patientiam nostram?__ Sept.
28926_ Who began the civil war?_ is repeatedly discussed by those quill cut- throats and allies on the Thames and on the Seine.
28926all these Weeds, Sandfords, Hughes, Bigelows, and whoever else may be there?
28926and, above all, what are the so expensive commander and his staff for?
28926what are they about?
14415And how many years before wheat again?
14415And what did I pay for it?
14415And who was John Knox?
14415But what good came of it at last?
14415Do you know that?
14415Has your saint any power like that?
14415Have you ever seen that fine monument by Chantrey there?
14415How far is it?
14415What do you consider the principal event in your long life?
14415What''s the matter?
14415Where shall we walk this year?
14415Will that satisfy you,inquired Sir William;"or shall I go a little deeper and draw blood?"
14415Wo n''t you stay for breakfast?
14415_ Question_.--What is thy duty towards God? 14415 _ Question_.--What is thy duty towards thy Neighbour?
14415***** O whoar is thy sweetheart, reed Robin?
14415A decided hint of salt in your tea?
14415A man called out,"I am a priest; where is the king?"
14415After walking for some distance they were passing a stone, when the gentleman asked,"Is this the popping stone?"
14415And a fishy taste in the very eggs?
14415And can I ever cease to be Affectionate and kind to thee, Who wast so very kind to me?
14415And hush''d me in her arms to rest, And on my cheeks sweet kisses prest?
14415And tears of sweet affection shed?
14415And walk in Wisdom''s pleasant way?
14415As a finale, one of our passengers shouted to his friend who had come to see him off:"Do you want to buy a cow?"
14415As in other similar places we had visited, the first question that suggested itself to us was,"How do the people live?"
14415Bright visited it?
14415But no sooner was this known, than a mob rushed towards the edifice, exclaiming:"Shall the idol be again erected in the land?"
14415But was it a road?
14415But what were we to do?
14415Could this be the inn?
14415DRAKE''S DRUM Drake he''s in his hammock, an''a thousand mile away,( Capten, art tha''sleepin''there below?
14415Drake he was a Devon man, an''ruled the Devon seas,( Capten, art tha''sleepin''there below?
14415Drake he''s in his hammock till the great Armadas come,( Capten, art tha''sleepin''there below?
14415Forty- five years have passed away since then, but the memory still remains; and the sweet sleep that followed-- the rest of the weary-- what of that?
14415Garrick overheard the remark, and exclaimed:"Eh, what do you say?
14415He expressed a wish that Lockhart, his son- in- law, should read to him, and when asked from what book, he answered,"Need you ask?
14415He was a clergyman who not only read the prayers, but prayed them at the same time: I often say my prayers, But do I ever pray?
14415His friend Bannatyne, seeing that he was just about to depart, and was becoming speechless, drew near to him saying,"Hast thou hope?"
14415How came this vast number of fish to be congregated here?
14415I asked my brother, as we walked along, why he put his question in that particular form:"Which is the Cobbler and which is his Wife?"
14415I say, Jim, what''s that?"
14415If the saving of time is the object, why not reduce the length of the sermon, which might often be done to advantage?
14415In reply to our question,"Can we get a bed for the night?"
14415Is not this part of the"Lyonesse"of the poets-- the country of romance-- the land of the fairies?
14415Is that so?"
14415It was a solemn moment, for had we not started with the rising sun on a Monday morning and finished with the setting sun on a Saturday night?
14415It would never do to leave it there, but what could they do to get it out?
14415Knows he the titillating joy Which my nose knows?
14415Like brightest diamond chased in purest gold?
14415O where is your equal on earth to be found?
14415Parson?"
14415Possibly he considered he was working for the cause of religion, and hoped for his further reward in a future life; or was it a silver penny?
14415Say, where shall the toiler find rest from his labours, And seek sweet repose from the overstrung will?
14415Showman, which is the lion and which is the dogs?"
14415Slack remarked in his Derbyshire dialect, which he always remembered,"Oh, he was pleased, were he?
14415So daring in love, and so dauntless in war, Have ye e''er heard of gallant like young Lochinvar?
14415The Queen asked him again,"What have ye to do with my marriage, or what are ye in this commonwealth?"
14415The clergyman was evidently well known to the people at the house, and an introduction to the master and mistress, and( shall we record?)
14415The landlord asked him,"Will you have a pint?"
14415The porter hurried to the gate--"Who knocks so loud, and knocks so late?"
14415The story"Why is the sea salt?"
14415Their looks were sullen, their steps were slow, Convicted felons they seemed to be,--"Are you going to prison, dear friend?"
14415Was ever scene so sad and fair?
14415Was it the College or the Sailor''s Hornpipe?
14415We quoted the following lines: Knows he, that never took a pinch, Nosey, the pleasure thence that flows?
14415We returned to our hotel at the time arranged for breakfast, which was quite ready, the table being laid for three; but where was our friend?
14415What dainty darling this-- what peerless peer?
14415What spot more honoured than this beautiful place?
14415What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found?
14415When he asked"What''s the matter?"
14415When the time came for him to die he asked for I Corinthians xv., and after that had been read he remarked:"Is not that a comfortable chapter?"
14415Whence is derived the verb to flee, Where have you been by it most annoyed?
14415Who could have invented those spades of wood?
14415Who has not heard the howling of Tregeagle?
14415Who knows?
14415Who knows?
14415Who ran to help me when I fell, And would some pretty story tell, Or kiss the place to make it well?
14415Who was it that cut them out of the tree?
14415Whoever could it be?
14415Why not follow the water, which would be sure to be running towards the sea?
14415Will you tell me, sir, that I do n''t know the origin of Presbyterianism?
14415Would you like coffee with sand for dregs?
14415Yet soft,--nay stay-- what vision have we here?
14415and did the men supplant the deer and grouse then?
14415and what was the force that overwhelmed them?
14415broder Teague, dost hear de decree?
14415but there is only the mocking echo to answer, as if from a far- distant land,"Where are they?"
14415but why does he stay behind?
14415if you see any of the enemy, tell them we are two or three miles away, will you?"
14415may we see the peep- shows?
14415murmured the gentleman; and then he said,"How do you spell it?"
14415my brother ejaculated;"but surely there is n''t a coal- pit in a pretty place like this?"
14415of butter; is she not a daughter of Abraham?
14415or, failing that, why not adopt the system which prevailed in the Scottish Churches?
14415said Little John,"That you blow so heartily?"
14415seek to see What heaven and hell alike would hide?
14415the men pretended to be drunk, and one of them said in a tipsy tone of voice,"Ca n''t you see, guv''nor?
14415the wintry blast comes on, And quickly falls the snow; And where are all the beauties gone That bloom''d a while ago?
14415they said, in astonishment;"where is he?"
14415to which John promptly replied"Golgotha,"and"Who founded University College?"
14415where are they?"
14415with twopence- halfpenny in your pocket?"
15546And were there two little boys with him?
15546But was Solomon John inquiring for it?
15546Can anything have happened to the family?
15546Could not Dick crawl in?
15546Did you go to Vesuvius?
15546Did you roast eggs in the crater?
15546Did you see anything of your father?
15546Did you, too, think it was Pnyx?
15546Elizabeth Eliza would know;but how could she reach Elizabeth Eliza?
15546Have they gone to Egypt?
15546Have you been there all this time?
15546Have you had fresh dates?
15546Have you heard the new invention, my dears, That a man has invented?
15546How did you get away?
15546How should she be able to speak to him, or tell anybody whom Elizabeth Eliza had married?
15546Is there a Sphinx in Athens?
15546Oh, Carrie,said her mother, mournfully,"how can you use such expressions now, when you have wasted your opportunity in such an extravagant wish?"
15546The seam we pin, Driving them in; But where are they, by the end of the day, With dancing and jumping and leaps by the sea? 15546 WHERE CAN THOSE BOYS BE?"
15546WHERE CAN THOSE BOYS BE?
15546Was his name Solomon John?
15546Was she eating her own supper or somebody''s else? 15546 Were there two little boys?"
15546What are you going to wear?
15546What had happened? 15546 What is it?
15546What shall we do?
15546What shall we do?
15546When did you begin to grow?
15546Where are Jonas and Dick?
15546Where are the boys?
15546Where do you suppose we shall go?
15546Where have you been all winter?
15546Where have you been?
15546Where is Elizabeth Eliza? 15546 Where is it?"
15546Where is that other omnibus?
15546Who are the Pentzes?
15546Who is Mr. Peterkin''s banker?
15546Why did n''t you come sooner?
15546Why did n''t you telegraph?
15546Why did you go to Vesuvius, when Papa said he could n''t?
15546Why not spend the night?
15546Why not telegraph to her for advice?
15546Why not write out your family adventures?
15546Why should not we ask the''grateful people''?
15546Why, yes,he said decidedly;"the horses of Achilles talked, do n''t you remember?"
15546You do n''t think Jonas and Dick both went to dine at the Wilsons''?
15546''How long do you think,''turning to Oscar,''you could keep them up in the air without letting them drop?''
15546A whole roomful of chocolate creams do you consider a waste?"
15546And how could you consult your books, your dictionaries, your encyclopædias?
15546Ann Maria, who had come late and taken the last seat on the other side, turned round and called across to me,"Why do you always take the sunny side?
15546But how can you go the day before, when you do n''t yet know the day?
15546But how many people are up at sunrise?
15546But how was Dick to get out again?
15546But how were they to be got into the squirrel- cage?
15546But of what use is it for me to write about what everybody is seeing, as long as they can see it as well as I do?
15546But where was Mr. Peterkin?
15546But where were they now?
15546But, Hester, do n''t you think fables are tiresome?
15546Could Mr. Peterkin have ventured into this treacherous place?
15546Could he have been in time to reach Elizabeth Eliza?
15546Could n''t you raise any dinner?"
15546Could she bear it, day after day, week after week?
15546Could she sacrifice what hair she had to the claims of literature?
15546Could she trust these men?
15546Did they come in that way?
15546Did you ever hear of a beast talking, Ernest, except in a fable?"
15546Do n''t you remember him?
15546Do not you see that we can make our fortune with chocolate creams?
15546Do you prefer it?"
15546Everybody said that she had best earned the distinction; for had she not come to the meeting by the longest way possible, by going away from it?
15546Had Solomon John been telegraphed to?
15546Had he come to Bordeaux with them?
15546Have you got something slam- bang for me?
15546How can we look at the sun?
15546How could they ever get into the parlor again, unless they were eaten up?
15546How had Agamemnon reached them?
15546How had they got in?
15546How many did she expect?
15546How, then, can we depend upon their statements, if not made from their own observation?--I mean, if they never saw the sun?
15546How, then, if we can not look at it, can we find out about it?
15546If she is dead, indeed, how can he?
15546If they went as far as Nijninovgorod, which was now decided upon, why could they not persevere through"Russia in Asia"?
15546In my two hands I can hold fourteen; now, how many times that do you suppose there are in the room?"
15546Is the Governor coming here?
15546Might not something be done by way of farewell before leaving for Egypt?
15546Mr. Dyer was a poor man; why should not he make a little money?
15546Of what use had the Noah''s Ark been?
15546Oh, wo n''t the men let us this new thing use?
15546Perhaps she had better give it up?
15546Peterkin?"
15546Questions and answers interrupted each other in a most confusing manner:--"Are you the little boys?"
15546She could fall in but once, but by the time they should reach Egypt, how many would be left out of a family of eight?
15546Should Jedidiah charge for the show, or not?
15546Should she now find herself on the back of one of those high camels?
15546Should they then meet Solomon John at the Pnyx, or summon him to Egypt?
15546The chariot and four( that means horses), the maid, and the boot- hooks,--no, the maid was scratched out,--not the chocolates?"
15546The little boys, however, said there always had been maple sugar every spring,--they had eaten it; why should n''t there be this spring?
15546The sight was indeed a welcome one to Mrs. Peterkin, and revived her so that she even began to ask questions:"Where had he come from?
15546Their return train was 3.30; how could 5 P.M. help them?
15546They supposed they had; but would they ever reach the vessel in New York?
15546They were all together; why not go home?
15546To whom, however, would she wish to send a telegram?
15546Was China invented at that time?
15546Was he Chufu or Shufu, and why Cheops?
15546Was it possible?
15546Was it they who had locked the door?
15546Was not this a snare to entice her into one of these narrow passages?
15546Were there three Solomon Johns?
15546Were they Peterkins, or were they not?"
15546Were they ready now to give up Plymouth?
15546What could be better?
15546What did the Governor say?"
15546What had become of the body of Chufu?
15546What had delayed them?
15546What have you seen?
15546What was it you told mother?"
15546What woman would know How to make the thing go?
15546When had Elizabeth Eliza seen him last?
15546Where could one find boot- buttoners enough?
15546Where indeed?
15546Where is Solomon John?"
15546Where was Solomon John?
15546Where were the other little boys?
15546Where would you keep your chariot and the four horses?"
15546Who was he?
15546Why had Mr. Dyer ever been so generous with his potatoes?
15546Why had he invited all the people to come?
15546Why had n''t they?
15546Why not have a pocket for the case in the umbrella?
15546Why not make their proposed excursion to the cousins at Gooseberry Beach, which they had been planning all summer?
15546Why not stop there, though there were some pages more?
15546Why should it not be a fancy ball?
15546Why should not they take their luncheon- basket across some ferry?
15546Would any of them be alive?
15546Would it be necessary for her to wish that Ben Sykes''s neck should be made shorter?
15546Would it not be better to remain in the ship, go back to Southampton, perhaps meet Elizabeth Eliza there, picking up Mr. Peterkin at Malta on the way?
15546Would not this be a good chance to have their photographs taken for their friends before leaving for Egypt?
15546Would the name be spelled right in the newspapers?
15546and where were the other little boys?
15546exclaimed Mr. Peterkin;"and how do you spell it?"
15546instead of those wearisome thorns, my dear, Those wearisome thorns?"
34230A little curious till you get used to it, do n''t you think, Mr. Donnan? 34230 About Nipper?"
34230And do you think that a young dev-- imp like Sir Toady does not know when he is well off?
34230And nothing more?
34230And what do you do up here yourself?
34230And what had you done to her, father, to make her so angry with you-- or at least scold you so much?
34230And what would you advise me to do?
34230And where_ is_ Elizabeth?
34230And why do n''t you tell him?
34230But I paid you your wages, did I not?
34230But how-- tell me how you did it?
34230But what are we to do with Cynthia''s parlor furniture?
34230Can I go to the Edam Post Office?
34230Can I look at the books on that shelf?
34230Did you never hear of Obermann?
34230Do you never observe_ people_?
34230Do you really?
34230Do you think she would accept? 34230 Elizabeth Fortinbras?
34230Expense, is it? 34230 Fond of her, is it?"
34230Goodness gracious,cried the Colonel, invoking his favorite divinity,"what can the girl want?
34230Had we known Madame Marie long?
34230Had you not better consult your father and mother?
34230Has my father not been speaking to you?
34230Is it''math''?
34230Is she pretty?
34230It looks very stiff,he remarked;"are you getting it up for an exam.?"
34230It''s all very well for_ her_,he said;"she makes her life out of such things, but what is there for me to do?
34230Monday,said I;"but how in the world did you know?"
34230My dear,said his wife,"surely you have not seen this young lady who has come to do you the honor of taking tea with you?"
34230My father-- sell_ that_?
34230Nor my-- Mrs. Donnan, I mean?
34230Now,said the_ cordon bleu_ of Edam,"who wants to do a bit of grating for me?"
34230Oh, very likely,I said;"but why not put father or Sir Toady on to advise Butcher Donnan?
34230Oh, you are in it, are you, Cynthia? 34230 She is only a shop- girl after all, is n''t she?"
34230Take it-- who asked you to take it?
34230Tell that young gentleman of yours,he said,"that, if things turn out well, he is always welcome at our shop, eh, Cynthia?
34230WHAT?
34230We hope,said Butcher Donnan cunningly,"that you will let us keep Elizabeth for a long time, Mr. Hugh John?"
34230Well, Elizabeth?
34230Well, Hugh John?
34230What Elizabeth?
34230What do you think about asking Elizabeth?
34230What in the world have you got there, children?
34230What of her mother?
34230What sort of a girl is this Elizabeth Fortinbras?
34230What, she has consented?
34230When do you want me to begin? 34230 When she was with old Monsieur Alexander-- yes, at the Upper Riffel House, and everything in her charge?"
34230Where is Rooty? 34230 Whom did he marry, Father?"
34230Why not-- Cynthia, woman? 34230 Why, Elizabeth Fortinbras, of course,"she answered, quite sharply for her;"whom else?"
34230Why, where should she be?
34230Will you come this way?
34230Will you excuse me for a moment, father?
34230You are reading?
34230Your father? 34230 _ And suppose Elizabeth gets married?_"I saw the two Donnans look one at the other.
34230_ And what about Cissy Carter?_I asked.
34230_ And why not?_said Mrs. Donnan, bending suddenly towards her husband, and startling him with the earnestness of her regard.
34230_ And_ why?
34230_ Is that all?_Nipper''s face worked.
34230_ Nor Elizabeth?_Nipper''s eyes were like gimlets now, but the calm serenity in those of Hugh John baffled them.
34230_ What?_said Cissy, looking up with eyes that still brimmed ready for action.
34230_ Why not ask Elizabeth Fortinbras?_"They would never dare!
34230A gold watch, then?"
34230And do you know what he answered back, after seeing the elephant take a double donkey roll, with its great sausagey legs in the air?
34230And she said,"Do you?"
34230And the first question he would ask was always,"Is my Blue Delhi Vase in good repair?"
34230And what she ca n''t knock to flinders with one skelp, she will fall over like an applelaunche( avalanche?)
34230And, as father says, what more can any of us do than be fully persuaded in our own minds?
34230As for Maid Margaret, she said it was so, and would Sir Toady please come with her and fish for minnows with a tin can tied to a string?
34230Awful, was n''t it?
34230But he was a good shot with the little fairy bow- and- arrows-- the ones tipped with chips of flint--_you_ know?
34230But no Date._ I wish we could choose our own presents, do n''t you?
34230But on such a night, immediately before the Edam September fair, who might not be abroad?
34230But was it written in the Book of Fate( in which Nipper believed) that they should fight for the mastery on another and far more dangerous arena?
34230But what say you, wife?"
34230But what she said aloud was,"Did all this happen before I was born?"
34230But what, you ask, are the lines?
34230But you could n''t take an old fellow in, eh, Pretend?
34230But, of course, how could he really understand little girls?
34230Ca n''t_ I_ think it and Mr. Trowbridge too?
34230Do n''t you think that is a first- rate idea?
34230Do you know what Senancour says love is?"
34230Do you know_ The Middle Kingdom_?"
34230Do you remember when he came home all bulgy about the eyes and with one of his ears swelled up double?
34230For certainly they are not nearly so rude and pesterful as I remember them when father and I stopped there-- oh, how many years ago?
34230For what could be expected of any girl who had such people for parents?
34230Had he not got a good price for his practice, and would not Thomasina do the rest?
34230Had she not suffered grievously and been much spoken against for that very fault, if fault, indeed, it were?
34230How about your old half- a- crown now?"
34230How could you learn else?
34230How did it turn out?
34230How do you get there?
34230How many had sat and watched it, thus singing, glide on and on?
34230However, I ca n''t put off any longer, can I?
34230I gasped,"how should I know?"
34230I said--"her father?"
34230I wonder if ever you got to love words, colors, and things till they grew to be part of yourself?
34230I wonder if something went_ cluck- cluck_( like a hen) at the bottom of his throat?
34230I-- you and I, I mean, have to sustain the honor of the house, eh, Sis?"
34230It is a good idea, is n''t it?
34230Liddesdale?"
34230Monday?
34230No?
34230Of course she could have asked me, but what girl would have taken my advice when she could get Hugh John''s?
34230Oh, about this Mr. Massa?
34230Shall I speak to Mr. Donnan about it?"
34230Silly, was n''t it?
34230So I said to her,"You, Mir- row, will you come up- stairs and''fess''?"
34230So when father sees it, wo n''t he just get a surprise?
34230That is why I have tried to be a brother to her----""Brother, is it?"
34230That"glacial reserve"( was n''t it?)
34230That, then, was the explanation, was it?
34230The farmer there would be glad to show it, if only Monsieur and the young lady...?
34230Then I suppose I may as well go and order my white apron and cap?"
34230Then would n''t she be a happy child?
34230Was I married?
34230Was she not involved to the extent of two- and- sixpence, her maiden mite?
34230Was she not known and noted for that one thing?
34230Well, do n''t you think it was pretty hard for Sarah-- harder, I think, after fighting for it than before?
34230Well, what if it is?
34230What do I mean?
34230What do you say to a turn?"
34230What do you think?
34230What do you think?
34230What more do you want?"
34230What put that into his head?"
34230When I got home, Hugh John had merely said,"When does Elizabeth begin?"
34230Where might we be going?
34230While mine-- but there-- who was this with me?
34230Who saw Rooty last?
34230Who would pay a man just to come and look at them?
34230Why could n''t it have stopped where it was put and done what it was told?
34230Will she accept?
34230Would she come to us and be our daughter?"
34230[ Illustration:"I USED TO SWOP CURRANTS AND SUGAR FOR NUTS AND LOVELY SPICY FRUITS"]"And how could you see all that, Father?"
34230_ I suppose you do n''t feel as if you could_... No?

8901Will you sometimes write to me?
8901Will you tell Dr. Butler that I have taken the treasure of a servant, Friese, the native of Prussia Proper, into my service from his recommendation?
8901Write, and tell me how the inhabitants of your_ Menagerie_ go_ on_, and if my publication goes_ off_ well: do the quadrupeds_ growl_?

8901You leave Harrow in July; may I ask what is your future Destination?
8901You seem to be a mighty reader of magazines: where do you pick up all this intelligence, quotations, etc., etc.?
8901You will write to me?
8901[ 1] Bravo!--what say you?
8901[ 1] What can I say, or think, or do?
8901[ 2] and has not Hobhouse got a journal?
8901_ Apropos_, how does my blue- eyed nun, the fair----?
8901am I to be goaded with insult, loaded with obloquy, and suffer my feelings to be outraged on the most trivial occasions?
8901and more lines tagged to the end, with a new exordium and what not, hot from my anvil before I cleared the Channel?
8901and my name on the title page?
8901and the Phoenix of canine quadrupeds, Boatswain?

8901writing nothing?
29264Well, my dear, point out where to find them?
29264( Do you know any thing about it, O, Halleck?)
2926423._--Why could not Mr. Lincoln choose for his Secretary of State some man who has a holy and wholesome horror of pen, ink, and paper?
29264Among others, hear the following query:_ Whether this unconquerable and irresistible nation shall suddenly perish through imbecility?_ etc.
29264And shall not our butchered soldiers be avenged?
29264And what free State is not New England''s son?
29264And what is done?
29264And who is now?
29264And why is Stanton silent?
29264And why not?
29264And why not?...
29264And why not?...
29264Are bad, worthless, insincere, selfish men to be the agencies and the factors of great and lofty principles?
29264Are contracts at the bottom of the puff, or is it only one of_ Weed''s_ tricks to defile and to ruin_ Stanton_?
29264Are not the humble, suffering, orderly contrabands infinitely superior to the rowdy, unruly, ignorant, savage and bloody whites?
29264Are the Gods against us?
29264But are the French people so debased as to submit?
29264But how could the government entrust him with this expedition?
29264But if not, will Meade attack Lee?
29264But of what benefit to me is this fatal, this Cassandra gift of foreseeing?
29264But were it true?
29264But what else could he do?
29264But where is the responsibility?
29264But who inaugurated and directed them in 1861?
29264But why do you suffer yourselves to be crushed down by the upper- crust of senile nincompoops?
29264But why has the Senator forgotten to ascend to one of the paramount causes?
29264But why not previous to the battle?
29264But, to be candid, how can activity and dash be expected from generals who have at their head, a shallow brained pedant like Halleck?
29264Comparative to what?
29264Comparative to what?
29264Could Seward learn how to be earnest, precise and clear, without spread- eagleism?
29264Does Halleck- Burnside intend to wait until the rebels shall be thoroughly prepared to repel any attack that may be made upon them?
29264England, in 1848- 9, whipped women in Ireland, and how many thousands have been murdered by the_ Decembriseur_?
29264For heaven''s sake let us know, pray,_ pray_ let us know who was Lincoln''s amanuensis?
29264Forgotten the true son of the people?
29264Had Lee ever vetoed Stewart''s raids?
29264Had Lincoln, had Halleck meddled?
29264Has England considered Napper Tandy and his aids as belligerents?
29264Has England ever treated the Irish according to the laws of international warfare?
29264Has Lincoln played false to humanity?
29264Has Sumner insinuated this himself to some newspaper reporter in_ extremis_ for news?
29264Has he a clear comprehension of the sacrifice thus perpetrated by the people?
29264Has not Mr. Lincoln thrown confusion around?
29264Has not this time Lee overshot the mark?
29264Have any generals Franklinized?
29264How can Burnside venture to say that after the repulse, during three days he expected the enemy to leave his stronghold and attack him-- Burnside?
29264How could he?
29264How could it be otherwise, with Lincoln, Seward and Halleck at the head?
29264How could the Senator thus belittle one of the most elevated political positions in the world, that of a Senator of the United States?
29264How many such patriots as Wadsworth, can we boast of?
29264How much foresight have your-- dearly- paid-- servants shown?
29264How should a Halleck do so?
29264How will it end?
29264How, in fact, was Burnside to move a great army without pontoons?
29264How, then, can the Democrats rave for McClellan, the most unfighting soldier ever known?
29264I am sorry to bring such details before the public, but how otherwise convict a liar?
29264If Lee committed a fault, are you, gentlemen, in duty bound to imitate his mistakes?
29264If Meade had not, or has not troops enough, why is not Foster ordered here with all he has?
29264If all is confirmed concerning Hooker''s incapacity, then it is a crime to keep him in command; but who after him?
29264If such declaration was needed, why not make it through the regular representatives of the country, as are Mr. Adams and Mr. Dayton?
29264In America, not to have an adequate material?
29264In the North, the Governors, all of them,( Seymour?)
29264Is Mr. Lincoln becoming seriously serious?
29264Is Stanton dragged down by the infuriated fates?
29264Is he acting thus_ in obedience to orders_?
29264Is it forgery or stealing?
29264Is it my fault that they give me no occasion?
29264Is it not so, Lincoln?
29264Is it the Constitution, the Statute, is it the incarnate four years formula which seals Stanton''s heart and brains?
29264Is it to be a commercial union, this hobby of your minister here?
29264Is it to organize some underground road to reunion on the Mercier- Seward- Richmond programme?
29264Is not Lincoln hailed as the new Moses?
29264Is not Virginia the first in the slave States for the number of slaves?
29264Is such a thing possible?
29264Is that the_ accident_ of which the precious proclamation so impudently speaks?
29264Is the North not pouring forth its blood and its treasures, and are they not all squandered by counterfeits?
29264Is the example of Judas forgotten?
29264It can not be a_ reconnaissance_--of what?
29264L. B._--Are the people again to receive a President from the hand of intriguers, from politicians, or from honest imbeciles?
29264Loyalty to principles?
29264Mr. Lincoln may now be serious in a great many matters, but if he could have been serious a year ago-- how much money would have been economized?
29264O, Halleck, where are the depots?
29264O, why can not Mr. Seward learn from Gortschakoff how not to put gas in such weighty documents?
29264O, you Bible- reading people, can Judases and rotten consciences carry out good principles?
29264Oh why is Lee engaged on the bad and damnable side?
29264Oh, why has Congress forgotten to pass a law forbidding Seward, for decency''s sake, to make himself ridiculous?
29264On paper or in the grave?
29264On the authority of the published"DIARY,"I am asked, even by letters,"Where is Stanton?"
29264Or are not rather all his favorites-- not even whitened-- sepulchres of manhood, of mind and of sacred intellect?
29264Or has imbecility exasperated even the merciful but rational Christian God to that extent, that God turns his back upon us?
29264Or perhaps orders exist not to bring about a general engagement?
29264Parumne campis atque Neptuno super Fusum est--[Yankee] sanguinis?
29264Pretty well has all this succeeded, and why can not the younger generation seize the helm in this terrible crisis?
29264So did the Herodians sneer at the star of Bethlehem; and where now are the Herodians?
29264Some man gifted with a sound brain, who never is quick at writing a dispatch, and would demand double salary as the price of writing one?
29264Staff duties require special studies, they are the highest military science; and where, in the name of all, could Butterfield have acquired it?
29264The people fails not, but how about the helmsmen?
29264The_ New York Times_ begins to mend its bad ways; but how long will it continue in the better path?
29264Then we march a few miles onwards, more miles backwards, and what not?
29264Then why make it?
29264To amuse the people?
29264To those of the enemy?
29264Upon what?
29264Warren fought well, but if Sykes was within supporting distance, why did they not annihilate the rebel corps?
29264Was Hooker again stunned, to make such a deliberate mistake-- nay, crime?
29264Was it done without any plan?
29264Well, Loyalty, but to whom?
29264Well, pompous Chase; how do you feel for having sided with Seward?
29264Well, why has Lincoln forgotten Texas all this time?
29264Were it not so, how many rhetors would be abolitionists?
29264What for?
29264What is in the wind?
29264What is the matter?
29264What is the use to deny it now?
29264What is to be more scorned?
29264What knows he about them?
29264What must the crown lawyers in England have thought of Mr. Evart''s great mastery of international laws?
29264What was to be answered?
29264What will Chase do?
29264What will be the manoeuvring to- morrow?
29264What, in the name of common sense, could he do with a single corps, when the whole army was repulsed?
29264Where are they?
29264Where could the rebels scrabble together such a number?
29264Where, oh where are the paid men?
29264Who ever read that Alexander, or Cesar, or Frederic, or Napoleon, or even captains of lesser fame, selected their ground?
29264Who gave them?
29264Who knows how far the soldiers are right?
29264Who will be taken in?
29264Who will have the best, the Monitors or the batteries?
29264Whom do they hope to humbug in this way?
29264Why does Hooker publish such a proclamation?
29264Why has not_ pater conscriptus_ uttered a single word of condemnation from his Senatorial_ fauteuil_, and kept mute during three sessions?
29264Why is Stanton silent?
29264Why not mask our movements before Gordonsville from the observation of Lee?
29264Why not?
29264Why shall it not be so here, when want of energy is the word?
29264Will Halleck soon be sent to California?
29264Will Mr. Lincoln have courage to dismiss McClellan from the army?
29264Will Mr. Lincoln realize the grandeur of this unparallelled trust?
29264Will a man start up in the next Congress and call the malefactors to account?
29264Will any European government, power, or statesman permit the United States to acquire even the most barren rock on the European continent?
29264Will it be possible to find among our Potomac generals one in whom revelation will supply experience?
29264Will the iron- clads resist the concentric fire from so numerous batteries?
29264Will this country ever escape the tutorship of sham science?
29264Will this new disgrace serve to strengthen the Administration?
29264_ August 18._--A patriotic gentlewoman asked me why I write a diary?
29264_ January 28._--The Congress almost expires; and will or can the incarnated constitutional formula save the country?
29264_ July 13._--What is_ Meade_ doing?
29264_ June 30._--How will Meade compose his staff?
29264_ September 22._--On all sides I hear the question put, Who is Gilmore?
29264_ September 24._--How could Meade let Lee send troops to Bragg, and why Meade attacked or attacks not?
29264_ Tschto den griadoustchi nam gotowit?_( Puschkine.)
29264_ What_ accident?
29264are our Generals to carry on a mere war of civilities?
29264as the man for the times, as the only one God sent to direct the people, and to grapple with the stern, earnest emergencies and perils?
29264how can you thus pointedly and mercilessly criticise your own deeds and policy?
29264mass them on the south side of the Potomac under such generals as Heintzelman, Sigel, etc., and take the enemy between two fires?
29264or is Stanton eaten up by the rats in the Cabinet?
29264to increase losses in men and in material?
29264when a Franklin is still sustained, when a Seward and a Halleck remain firm in their high places as the gates of hell?
29264who so recklessly waste all the people''s sacrifices, will you volunteer more brains and less selfishness?
14384''Are they all gone?'' 14384 ''Eathen?''
14384''How many people were there in your day?'' 14384 ''What, you an American citizen?''
14384''Where was she born?'' 14384 A man lives only a little while,_ hein_?
14384And Climber of Trees Who Was Killed and Eaten?
14384And the procession, was it successful?
14384And what will you do with that ten minutes?
14384And_ popoi_ and pigs?
14384Another god on the altar then?
14384Are they Marquesans?
14384Are we afraid of that ugly beast? 14384 Beaten to Death perished by the club?
14384Ben Santos,inquired the judge, with a critical glance at Daughter of the Pigeon,"What return did you make to this woman for keeping your house?"
14384But Beaten to Death--?
14384But Tufetu, the grandfather of my friend Mouth of God?
14384But if that stone broke your head, why did you not die?
14384But there are not many whites here?
14384But why two packs?
14384But with whom can I see that world?
14384Did you not lie in wait for those murderers?
14384Do we go near her home?
14384Do you have trouble over women in your island? 14384 Do you think the eating of men began by the_ ave one_, the famine?"
14384He will play ze bloff?
14384Honi?
14384How do they make that cloth?
14384How many men to a rope?
14384It is beautiful in your islands, is it not?
14384It is n''t bad,_ hein_?
14384It was she who rode the white horse, and bore the armor of Joan in the great parade?
14384Kahuiti, is it not good that the eating of men is stopped?
14384Of what are you thinking?
14384Of what good is that? 14384 Oo can say wot the blooming wind will do?"
14384Paul Gauguin lived here?
14384She some pumkin, eh? 14384 So it was all as you had planned?"
14384So the slaying of Beaten to Death was unavenged?
14384The pig men climb?
14384There were signs at the commemoration?
14384They had guns?
14384This man, whose name was Honi--"Honi?
14384Was Great Night Moth the real son of Male Package?
14384What I do?
14384What caused that war?
14384What do you do here all alone?
14384What does the_ Menike_ seek?
14384What for?
14384What if the good sisters heard me? 14384 What is the manner of their fishing?"
14384Where are you going?
14384Where do you go with the_ mei_?
14384Why, sure I do? 14384 Why?
14384Why?
14384Will you drink_ kava_?
14384Write to me when you are in Tahiti, and tell me if you think I would be happy there?
14384Yes?
14384You came by the_ Fatueki?_.
14384You do not doubt her miraculous intercession?
14384You have never seen a man fight the_ mako_? 14384 You knew Hemeury Francois when he was young?"
14384You know what that signifies? 14384 You mean Jones?"
14384You returned to that ship when the boat picked you up?
14384You_ Menike_ like him?
14384Your name?
14384_ I hea?_ Where do you go?
14384_ I hea?_ Where do you go?
14384_ Kisskisskissa? 14384 _ Namu?_ Have they rum?"
14384_ Namu?_ Have they rum?
14384_ Vraiment?_"_ Absolument_,answered Père Simeon.
14384''Born in my own state, and painted up like Sitting Bull on the warpath?
14384''Could there by chance be a woman living there named Manu?
14384Ai n''t that so, Gedge?"
14384Also, would Satan have been able to tempt Eve if God had not made the tree of knowledge_ tapu_?
14384Am I not here over thirty years, and have I met a man like Gauguin?
14384And all his twelve children by that Henriette?
14384And at length he rose and came down to the oven, saying,''What''s up?''
14384And strike-- where?
14384And the wicked?
14384And what, when the same shark had been killed and eaten by other Marquesans?
14384And would I tell her of the women of my people in the strange islands of the_ Memke?_ They were very far away, were they not, those islands?
14384And would I tell her of the women of my people in the strange islands of the_ Memke?_ They were very far away, were they not, those islands?
14384And you know that Polonaise, with the one eye- glass, that lives in Papeite, that Krajewsky?
14384And''ow about''ell?"
14384Are the girls of your valleys very lovely, and do they all sleep in golden beds?"
14384Are you ready for the ovens of our valley?''
14384As we followed the steep trail past it, I called,"_ Kaoha!_""_ I hea?_"said a woman,"_ Karavario?_ Where do you go?
14384As we followed the steep trail past it, I called,"_ Kaoha!_""_ I hea?_"said a woman,"_ Karavario?_ Where do you go?
14384As we followed the steep trail past it, I called,"_ Kaoha!_""_ I hea?_"said a woman,"_ Karavario?_ Where do you go?
14384But if, as the priests said was most probable, Adam and Eve had received pardon and were in heaven, why had their guilt stained all mankind?
14384But who knows the human heart, or understands the soul?
14384But why was it forbidden for her son to live with Jeanette, being not married to her?
14384Ca n''t I live here an''be Your Dog again?''
14384Come and have a drink?"
14384Could he mean Rozinante, the steed to whom T''yonny had entrusted me, and who had so basely deserted his trust over a cliff?
14384Did God do that?
14384Did I bestride a metempsychosized man- eater, a revenant from the bloody days of Nuka- hiva?
14384Did I know this woman?
14384Did n''t I know her before you?
14384Did not Scallamera become a leper and die of it horribly?
14384Did they still fight in Bottle Meyers, and was his friend Tasset on the police force yet?
14384Do n''t you think it wise to segregate them?"
14384Do those grim warriors who survive the new régime ever relapse?
14384Do you know an officer of the_ Zelee_, with hair like a ripe banana?
14384Do you know why it is called rose- wood?
14384Do you not remember your sister?"
14384Do you want the_ mako_ to eat them?
14384Does not Socrates, in the dialogues of Plato, often speak of"going to the world below,"where he hopes to find real wisdom?
14384Does not that word_ hantu_, meaning in Malay an evil spirit, have some obscure connection with our American negro"hant,"a goblin or ghost?
14384Ducat, very pale, an inscrutable look on his face, his black eyes narrowed, said quietly,"Monsieur, do you mean that?"
14384Farther even than Tahiti?
14384Forty?
14384Had I not tasted the_ chicha_ beer of the Andes, and found it good?
14384Had he known matches in his youth?
14384He demanded brusquely,"What are you_ oui- oui_-ing for?"
14384He must go to Huapu with the chief, who was again at the door,"And did the fête help the parish?"
14384He was a regular-- what do you call''em?
14384How compare such names with John Smith or Henry Wilson?
14384How could I know the devil behind her eyes when she came wooing me again?
14384How could one explain his benign, open- souled deportment and his cheery laugh, with such damnable appetites and actions?
14384How deep beneath the sea could their women dive?
14384How do you know what God likes?
14384How is Teddy and Gotali?"
14384How long ago?
14384How many years--?
14384I was sure that, with her wealth, she would have many suitors,--but what of a tender heart?
14384If shocked further it opened its leaflets as if to say,"What''s the use?
14384In one house, under one roof?
14384Is cannibalism in the Marquesas a thing of the past?
14384Is that so?"
14384Is there no more rum?
14384It would be pleasant to be called"Blue Sky"or"Killer of Sharks,"but how about"Drowned in the Sea"or"Noise Inside"?
14384Kivi laughed, and dimly I heard his inquiry:"_ Veavea?_ Is it hot?"
14384Kivi laughed, and dimly I heard his inquiry:"_ Veavea?_ Is it hot?"
14384McHenry said,"Say, how''s your kanaka woman?"
14384Of the people that once were here?
14384Please, will you give me now the note to Ah You?"
14384Said the soldier to the sailor,''Will you give me a chew?''
14384Shall I tell you the tale of how he escaped death at the hands of his father?
14384She said,''Is there no pig?''
14384She was made different by her mother, by the prayers of Père Simeon, and by something strange in her_ kuhane_--what do you say?
14384Since when have Marquesan women said no to the command of the_ adminstrateur_?''
14384Suppose I give them rum?
14384Tari a rutu mai i hea?
14384The New York hotel in which her poor son lived?
14384The same as that of the girls in your own island, is it not?"
14384Then he said,''Where is the pig?''
14384Then how did it get into heaven?
14384Then, speaking English and very precisely, he asked,"Do you mean my wife?"
14384These dogs that go after things for you?
14384To Calvary?"
14384Was all that tender care of his whiskers to be wasted on scenery?
14384Was it cocoanut land?
14384Was it not good land?
14384Was not knowledge a good thing?
14384Was the Bella Union Theater still there in Frisco?
14384We must all be from the same valley, or at least from the same island, they thought, for were we not all Americans?
14384Were the women of that island, Chile, white?
14384Were these two peoples once one race, living on that long- sunken continent in which Darwin believed?
14384What am I saying?
14384What could a hotel be?
14384What could he mean?
14384What do I need from the great cities?"
14384What do you say?"
14384What does it matter?
14384What have I to do with a man I hate?''"
14384What is money compared to life?
14384What is that?"
14384What made the angels fall?
14384What motive had led the Maker and Knower of all things to do this deed?
14384What of matches before the French came?
14384What shall I do?
14384What was her name?
14384What will become of them, I wonder?"
14384What would God do in cases where sharks had eaten a Marquesan?
14384What would she do?
14384What''s this wife business?"
14384When I was goin''to bed he''d say,''McHenry, Your Dog is goin''now, but ca n''t Your Dog sleep here?''
14384Where had she gained these fashions and desires of the women of cities, of Europe?
14384Who can come from France and live here without money?
14384Who can say?
14384Who of us but dreads to pass a graveyard at night, though even to ourselves we deny the fear?
14384Why could not this idyllic, fierce, laughter- loving people have stayed savage and strong, wicked and clean?
14384Why does she not die?
14384Why should n''t I mean it?
14384Why would the_ mutoi_ take hold of her son, as he feared?
14384Why?"
14384Would I accompany her thither?
14384Would I not give her matches-- the packets of matches that were under the Golden Bed?
14384Would she be happy in Tahiti?
14384Would you like to meet my wife''s father- in- law, Kahuiti?
14384Wretched as I felt, I returned his glance, and said"_ Tiatohoa?_"which means,"Is that so?"
14384Wretched as I felt, I returned his glance, and said"_ Tiatohoa?_"which means,"Is that so?"
14384Yet why cavil at the vehicle by which one arrives at Nirvana?
14384You have seen there a stone foundation that supports the wild vanilla vines?
14384You know how he suffered?
14384You know how the drums speak?"
14384You know_ le droit du mari_?
14384You will not forget to deign to speak to the governor concerning the matter of the gun?"
14384_ Aoe?_ Then I will tell you."
14384_ E mea tiatohu hoi!_ Do you not know of the Piina of Fiti- nui?
14384_ Je ne sais pas._ Twenty years?
14384of the twelve- foot drums?
34777... Did you ever know the Bazeleys at all? 34777 Admitted,"said Eliza,"that women have certain privileges-- have they any Rights?"
34777Am I to read it?
34777And cooking?
34777And since then?
34777And that basis?
34777And the Red Book, and the visiting- list, and the shopping- list, and the visiting- cards, which I see with you?
34777And what about all your engagements for this afternoon?
34777And what will you be doing?
34777And you,I said,"following the Jamieson train of thought, have been saying to yourself ever since,''Is there anything in it?''"
34777Any one will do to make up a rubber, I suppose?
34777Are you going straight home?
34777Are you?
34777But, Hugo dear,she said,"why did you not tell me long ago?"
34777Can he be in love?
34777Could n''t you do something exciting? 34777 Could n''t you enjoy yourselves a little?"
34777DEAR PALESTRINA( it ran),Can you possibly come to make a fourth at a concert this afternoon?
34777Dear Gracie,said Margaret,"could I not do it?
34777Did I?
34777Did I?
34777Did any one hear the rain last night?
34777Did she tell you,asked Gracie,"that she cares for some one else?"
34777Did you taste the claret- cup?
34777Do n''t you think things are much pleasanter when people_ are_ complacent?
34777Do n''t you think,she began,"that it is a great waste of opportunity not to be wild and wicked sometimes, when one is very good?"
34777Do you know Wales at all?
34777Do you know old Miss Lydia Blind?
34777Do you know, that the whole of to- day I have been puzzling over a letter which I received this morning? 34777 Do you mind the window open?"
34777Do you smoke?
34777Do you think,said Palestrina, still in a disappointed tone,"that the men would have been more-- more larky if we had been alone?
34777Does any one hear the bus?
34777Does any one know what time it is? 34777 Does any one mind if we go on with our machines?"
34777Eliza, which is your napkin- ring?
34777Even when she refuses to marry them?
34777Gracie?
34777Have you ever been in Ireland?
34777Have you persuaded her?
34777Hoo old should ye think she was?
34777How did she get him?
34777How do you do?
34777How do you like the new carpet, Miss Belinda?
34777How is it to be done?
34777How is one to know,said Maud,"when it is the real thing?"
34777How is the diary getting on?
34777How was I to know,said the Colonel, spluttering over his whisky- and- soda when the American widow had left,"that she meant the last card?
34777I am quite sure it was,said Mrs. Fielden, smiling;"but we were talking about your visit to London, were we not?"
34777I dare say,she said,"that you have heard something about Mr. Evans from The Family?"
34777I suppose he has often been down to stay with the Taylors?
34777I suppose you have heard about Belinda and the champagne?
34777I wonder if you know any of our friends who are coming to- night?
34777I wonder,I said,"what will be the special objection that Maud will raise when she becomes engaged to Mr. Ellicomb?
34777I''m dreadfully bored to- night; are n''t you?
34777Is every one ready?
34777Is n''t it cosy?
34777Is she still dumb, poor thing? 34777 Is that the truth?"
34777Is the pig being killed?
34777Is there anything of me left?
34777It ca n''t be the Lydia Blind I used to know?
34777May I really smoke,I asked,"after being such a brute as to say you must n''t?"
34777Mettie, did you get your letters?
34777No need to write, I suppose,said Mrs. Lovekin lightly,"as I have met you?"
34777No one can really enjoy this sort of thing, do you think? 34777 Oh, I do n''t know,"said my sister;"it''s always interesting, is n''t it, to find that people are related?"
34777She had n''t a sister called Belinda, had she?
34777There is something rather horrible, do n''t you think so,she said,"in knowing how a thing is cooked?"
34777Toast or rolls?
34777Was I kind to you? 34777 Was that the one with a nose like a scone?"
34777Were you?
34777What Lydia Blind?
34777What are you going to do?
34777What cure do you propose?
34777What do you want me to do?
34777What is a supper- party without an actress?
34777What is the actual distance?
34777What shall we do till they arrive?
34777What shall you be doing when you go back, Anthony?
34777Which is your napkin- ring?
34777Why are men always allowed to blunder?
34777Why ca n''t she sing something cheerful?
34777Why did n''t some of you come? 34777 Why do you stay here when you are feeling so tired?"
34777Why not go to London for a little while and enjoy yourselves?
34777Why?
34777Why?
34777Why?
34777Wo n''t they be anxious about you?
34777You also were up early?
34777You just say to a girl,''Will you dance?'' 34777 You really think so?"
34777You spend nearly all your days here?
34777You studied philosophy, did n''t you?
34777Your argument being,I said,"that an honest man may sometimes steal a horse?"
34777_ Well?_said Kate.
34777( Whom, in the name of Fortune, would Mrs. Fielden not find charming?)
34777A band began to play under the trees, and Palestrina said to me, with one of her low laughs:"I wonder if I shall begin to sail about soon?
34777A child came in with some flowers as an offering to the Miss Jamiesons, and Eliza said:"Would you mind putting them down somewhere, my dear?
34777A soft answer turneth away wrath, but a woman''s silence makes a man''s heart cry out:"My dear, did I hurt you?
34777After a little time Mrs. Fielden said wistfully,"You do n''t think there is only a certain amount of happiness in the world, do you, Hugo?
34777After all, why should she care?
34777After two or three afternoon calls from a gentleman the Jamiesons generally ask each other ingenuously,"Which of us is it?"
34777And syne she says,''Wad ye no let me haud it in ma haund?''
34777And that if one person gets a great deal, it means that another will get less?"
34777And then:"Do you know what Georgie and I do, when we are sent to church alone?
34777Can you suggest anything very rowdy that a crippled man with a crutch and a tendency to chills and malaria might undertake?"
34777Colonel Jardine, did you play the lost chord?"
34777Could one of you run into the garden and make a few pleasant remarks to him until I am ready?"
34777Did I think that if a girl never gave any evidence of her love, and died, it would be a very pitiful end?
34777Do n''t you agree with me?"
34777Do n''t you love spending a night at a station hotel?
34777Do you all know each other?"
34777Do you know at all what they think about it?"
34777Do you think Thomas would mind if I were to look as if he did n''t belong to us?"
34777Does my hand go down on the table this time?"
34777Done the Academy?"
34777Eliza continued:"Who will deny that men are selfish?"
34777Ethics should not be based upon accident, should it?"
34777Every one laughed; and my sister, with a recollection of our visit to Mrs. Macdonald, said at once,"Did she give you any useful household recipes?"
34777Finlayson?"
34777Frontispiece:"But, Hugo dear,"she said,"why did you not tell me long ago?"]
34777Half the conversation between her and Palestrina began with the words,"Do you remember?"
34777Have I ever mentioned that Palestrina is engaged to be married?
34777Have you ever noticed that their watches all keep exact time, and that they tell you the hour to the very second?
34777He watches every mouthful of food that is eaten, and grudges it to the eater; and his eyes are saying all the time,"How can you be so greedy?"
34777How did you manage to sit throughout a whole evening between Mrs. Macdonald and a wall?"
34777How many of them have got husbands?"
34777I am sure it is a brave thing to part and say nothing, but do you think that one might write?"
34777I did n''t even know she lived here.... Do you remember her,"he said,"when she was very pretty?
34777I suppose that gentle, sweet look never left them, did it?
34777Is it necessary to mention the fact that Palestrina is fat and very pretty, and that she spoils me dreadfully?
34777Is it not too strange to think that perhaps, after all, Maud may be one of the last of us to get married?"
34777Is n''t it humiliating to think that we have invariably to invite the same two men to balance our numbers at a dinner- party?
34777It does n''t hurt you to walk a little, does it?
34777It seems invidious to suggest that Kate and Eliza and Margaret should come, and not Maud and Gracie; and yet what is one to do?
34777Jamieson?"
34777Kate said,"But I suppose they go to town occasionally?"
34777Let me see, how long were you ill?
34777Margaret fell behind with me, and whispered in a sort of excited way,--"Has n''t it been lovely?
34777Mrs. Jamieson stirred a little on her uneasy bench, and Mr. Swinnerton said in self- defence,"Do n''t you agree with me, eh?"
34777Mrs. Taylor went indoors, and I said good- bye, but the General said to me abruptly,"I should like to see her; will you take me there?"
34777Not only do we stop and chat for a few minutes, but it is the friendly fashion of the place for ladies to say to each other,"Which way are you going?"
34777Now, I can not really have asked Mrs. Macdonald for recipes for boiling a ham, can I?"
34777One or two had certainly said to us with a dubious air,"Do you live in the Pork?"
34777Or shall I find, when I turn and look at her face, simply that she has gone to sleep?
34777Palestrina says:"Oh dear, what shall we do?
34777Presently she said,--"Why do you come to this sort of thing?
34777Said she,''How do?''
34777Several people said to me jocosely,"How is South Africa?"
34777Shall you be there?"
34777She called forth Maud''s best efforts by saying,"What was the pretty Irish song you sang the other night?"
34777She sighed, and added,"Do you think Mrs. Fielden enjoyed it?"
34777Sure you would not like milk or anything?"
34777Talking of tea-- isn''t everybody very hungry?
34777Tell me which of us is most fitted to give a lecture on the subject?"
34777The Family chorus as I entered was something like this:--"Cream or sugar, weak or strong?"
34777The Miss Finlaysons shook hands, and said good- bye with their usual lofty condescension, and each said,"Going on anywhere?"
34777The last time that you were away from home I wrote and said,''Will a few of you come?''
34777The question then arose, how long would it be before we would be likely to get under way?
34777Turning to one, she explains,"I always train my servants myself.... What were you saying just now?"
34777Tyne Drum dropped heavily on to the ottoman, and I heard him say,"Do you know my wife?"
34777What if she should be crying?
34777What on earth has she done that for- for- for?''
34777What unexpected thing will she do next, I wonder?
34777What were you thinking of doing?"
34777What''s trumps?
34777When I said to her,"May I play?"
34777When we are all wrangling over the mistakes and misdeeds of the last round, Mrs. Fielden looks hopelessly at us and says,"Is it any one''s deal?"
34777Where is the crinkly paper and some ribbon?"
34777Which do you advise?"
34777Why does n''t some one sit upon me, or tell me they will order the carriage for me if I really must go?
34777Why have you been down at Stanby?
34777Why not come to- morrow?
34777Why should a woman always be blamed for being loved?
34777Why will she not allow one to admire her?
34777Will she suddenly burst out laughing, or will she turn and take every bit of manhood out of me by smiling?
34777Will you all order what you like?"
34777Will you excuse our writing a note, at this busy time?"
34777Will you lend me some books, please?
34777Will you take her some things I am sending her, and ask how she is when you go back?"
34777Will you?"
34777Would it, for instance, appear an insuperable objection to most minds?"
34777You are leaving town almost immediately, are you not?"
34777You will be murdered by some gang of cut- throats, and then what will I-- I mean your mother, do?"
34777is it very hard sometimes?"
34777said Eliza in a brilliant fashion; and Miss Taylor, not to be beaten in a matter of intellect, said at once,"Did Bacon write Shakespeare''s plays?"
34777said Palestrina;"and if so, as the Jamiesons would say, which is it?"
6457( 187) A little at a loss what to say, she gently stammered,M''ami,--le-- le premier Consul, ne vient- il pas?
6457( 208) You are sure how heartily M. d''Arblay would be ready to comply-but"what,"he demanded,"can be new to you of honours?"
6457? 6457 And about what time did You give to it?"
6457And can she have forgot all this?
6457And do you know this, little man?
6457And how does grandDapa do?
6457And how does your papa do?
6457And what did you write Of it here?
6457And what does his father take him to Ireland for?
6457And what is the nearest town to Tr � ves, whence I might go on in a chaise?
6457Are you married?
6457Are you much frightened cried he, smiling,as much frightened as you were before?"
6457Ay,quoth I,"has not he made you all ashamed of''em?
6457But he will bring out something else?
6457But here, I mean?
6457But they may be a little better, or a little worse,he answered,"but still, if they are not like somebody, how can they play their parts?"
6457But where,cried he,"is Hetty?
6457But why,I cried, recollecting myself,"should I speak French, when your royal highness knows English so well?"
6457But you do n''t imagine,answered she, laughing,"we came over from England to see you ci- devants?
6457C''est sans doute ce que vous souhaitez le plus, madame?
6457Come then,cried she,"come hither, my dear, and tell me all about her,--is she very good to you?--do you like her very much?"
6457Comment? 6457 Do you wish to have an excellent view of him, and to see him quite at your ease?"
6457Etes- vous mari � e?
6457Has he nothing in hand?
6457How do you do, Madame d''Arblay?
6457How far did You go?--Did You finish any part? 6457 How, how?"
6457Is the princess royal ready?
6457It Page 187 is a very capital work, sir,says H."I wonder how you find time?"
6457It is doubtless what you most wish for, madam?
6457My courage?
6457O � est votre mari?
6457Oui, mon ami,"And-- was it quite dark?
6457Pourquoi le quittez- vous? 6457 Qui est- il?"
6457Qui?
6457Then what are we come hither for?
6457Upon your honour?
6457Voulez- vous le voir parfaitement bien, et tout fait votre aise?
6457What do you think of me now?
6457What, William?
6457What-- what-- progress have you made?
6457Where is your husband?
6457Who is he?
6457Whom?
6457Why are you leaving him?
6457You know-- you recollect Madame d''Arblay, do n''t you, William?
6457is he here?
6457''-''''Is he agreeable to you, M. de Maubourg?''
6457( 182)"Have you seen the first Consul, madam?"
6457( 187)"What is the matter?"
6457( 188)"M''ami, the-- the first Consul, is he not coming?"
6457( 191) Could any inference be clearer?
6457( 218)"Who are you?
6457( 219)"You are English?"
6457( 221)"You do not think proper to follow me, then?"
6457( 229) Where did--- hear her a whole evening?
6457( 23) and is that all?--Does she forget that she has spoke to me?
6457( 24)"Perhaps I am indiscreet?"
6457( 25)"But, mademoiselle-- after all-- the king-- is he quite cured?"
6457( 251)"May I keep the book you sent me?"
6457( 312)"You give it up, do n''t you?"
6457( 36)"Does he know the name of M. Lafayette?"
6457( 47)"What day better than the present?"
6457( 80)"What will you, Mr. jenkinson?
6457( 82)"Pray, Mr. Gnawbone, how is the queen?"
6457( 85)"Is a woman in leading strings all her life in this country?
6457( 92)"Could not one make that little journey?"
6457.. Did the wood look very beautiful?
6457A mother whom she looks up to and doats upon-- a sister whom she so fondly loves-- how shall they be replaced?
6457A''n''t you?
6457After a little pause,"Mais est- ce qu''une femme est en tutelle pour la vie dans ce pays?"
6457Am I not doing what I most desire upon earth-- remaining by your side?
6457And can he want to keep them all?
6457And do you, then, measure my regard of heart by my remissness of hand?
6457And even if he endure the perpetual tutoring, will not she sicken of her victories ere he wearies of his defeats?
6457And how does horticulture thrive?
6457And how ventures M. de Chauvelin to transmit such a proposal?
6457And how was I to get thither?
6457And how?
6457And what had I done with this son?
6457And where?
6457And which of these characters is true?
6457And will Alexander be fit or willing to live under the eye, which he will regard as living under the subjection, of his wife''s relations?
6457Anything capable of understanding her?"
6457Are you-- are you--[looking with strong expression to discover her answer] writing anything?"
6457As to my engagements;--when should I finish, should I tell all that have been made or proposed, even in the short space of a single week?
6457At length he came directly up to me and Herschel, and the first question his majesty asked me was,--"How does Astronomy go on?"
6457Bonaparte interrupted him and said,''Is the young man agreeable to your daughter?''
6457Burney?"
6457But could any permanent amendment ensue, from working upon his errors only through his passions?
6457But though so sluggish to learn, I was always observant: do you remember Mr. Seaton''s denominating me, at fifteen,"the silent, observant Miss Fanny"?
6457But when, in the course of the day, something broke from me of my reverence at his heavenly resignation,"R � sign �?"
6457But who, also, in circumstances so awful, could require the exhortation of a priest or the example of a congregation, to stimulate devotion?
6457But why go back to my grief?
6457But why say damped, when it is only their unreasonable expectations that are disappointed?
6457But will four months fit him for beginning such a trial?
6457Can I still hope, my dear friend, for that patient partiality which will await my tardy answer ere it judges my irksome silence?
6457Can life, he often says, he more innocent than ours, or happiness more inoffensive?
6457Can there be injustice more flagrant?
6457Can you imagine anything more amiable than this pleasure in giving pleasure?
6457Could anything More sweetly mark the real kindness of the queen than this remembrance of my fondness for plays?
6457Did I breathe then?
6457Did I tell you that I sent a copy of those letters to M. de Lafayette?
6457Do n''t you think it very extraordinary that he should not himself desire to see Mrs. Damer?
6457Do you ever see any of the friends we used to live among?
6457Do you know anything of a certain young lady, who eludes all my inquiries, famous for having eight sisters, all of uncommon talents?
6457Do you not know him well, my Susan, by this opening rodomontade?
6457Do you suppose I do not often-- often-- often think who would like, and be fittest to be the bearer to you of these honours?
6457Had you my letter from Tr � ves?
6457Has M. d''Arblay ever been at Toulon?
6457Has he any particular name for you?"
6457Have you ever seen him since this fatality in his family?
6457He laughed and inquired who corrected my proofs?
6457He listened with much interest and pleasure, and said,"Mais, ne pourroit- on pas faire ce petit voyage- l?
6457He looked at me with sweetness inexpressible, and pathetically said,"Qui?"
6457He stopped, but I saw he meant"Who shall return this for you?"
6457He would not then come; for what, he said, was a beautiful city to him who could not look at it?
6457His restlessness still interrupting all attention, in defiance of my earnest whispers for quietness, she now said,"Perhaps he is hungry?"
6457How are your own politics upon that point?
6457How can she know what a child is thinking of before it can speak?"
6457How do you do, Ernest?"
6457How long,"he adds,"have you been at it?"
6457How should he?--especially a revolutionnaire?
6457How tall is he?--how old is he?--Is he fat or thin?--is he like you or M. d''Arblay?
6457However, be only grumbled out,"Qu''est- ce que c''est, donc?
6457I always answered,"What courage?
6457I asked him if he was not proud of being so kindly noticed by the adjutant- general of M. Lafayette?
6457I heard a gentleman''s voice from the next box call softly to Miss Barbara Planta,"Who is that lady?"
6457I hope I have gained a smile from you by my disclosure that I lost my journal time for my usual post- day by successive dissipation?
6457I hope your last club was more congenial?
6457I like well the idea of giving no name at all,-why should not I have my mystery as well as"Udolpho?
6457I preserved, therefore, my taciturnity, till, tired of her own, she gently repeated,"Puis- je le garder, cette copie que vous m''avez envoy �?"
6457I remember, in playing-at questions and commands, when I was thirteen, being asked when I intended to marry?
6457If he can say that, what must I be not to echo it?
6457In such a condition, who can wonder to hear that, a very few miles from Leipzic, he expired?
6457Is it not to be feared that as they, the passions, subside, the errors would all peep up again?
6457Is it that the regard she appeared to conceive for me in England was not only sincere but constant?
6457Is jenny capable of such a mounting journey?
6457Lafayette?
6457Lafayette?"
6457Madame de Stael whispered me,"How do you like him?"
6457Madame de la Ch � tre made a speech to the same effect,"Et quel jour, par exemple,"said M. de Narbonne,"feroit wieux qu''aujourd''hui?
6457Mais-- Vous vous rendez, n''est- ce- pas?
6457Mickleham, February 29, 1793 Have you not begun, dearest sir, to give me up as a lost sheep?
6457Mr Cantab?
6457Mr. Hay had lost his air of satisfaction and complacency, Mr. Tudor merely inquired whether he should come again?
6457Mr. P. And can you read your book, You Sweet little fellow?
6457Mr. P. And do you run about here in this pleasant place all day long?
6457Need I say more?")
6457Not very bad English that?
6457O my dearest friend,- Can the intelligence I have most desired come to me in a form that forbids my joy at it?
6457Oh, mon ami, ought we not rather to unite in comforting each other by sustaining ourselves?
6457On, therefore, I again forced myself, and with tolerable composure I said,"Je n''ai rien, monsieur, je crois, faire ici?
6457Or was it from a yet greater fear of malignant cruelty awakened by the very name of his successor, Savary, Duke of Rovigo?
6457Or wherefore his characters thus without fault?
6457Or will it only do to be printed at the expense of the acting ladies, and given gratis?
6457Our next and last interruption, I think, was from a very gentle tap at the door, and a"May I come in?"
6457Page 137 whose can withstand it?
6457Page 143"How is your little boy?"
6457Page 156"Pray,"cried she,"if it is not impertinent, may I ask to what religion you shall bring up your son?"
6457Particulars I have now no room for; but when in about half an hour, she said,"How long do you intend to stay here, Madame d''Arblay?"
6457Pitt?
6457Poor Mrs. Byron, who used to inhabit it, would have enjoyed her grandson''s(338) reputation, would not she?
6457Pray( smiling) what will he bring out next?"
6457Qu''en penses tu?"
6457Shall I apologise for this wordy explanation?
6457She asked me If you would accompany Mrs. Locke back into the country?
6457She asked me, archly, whether I was not fatigued by coming to the pump- room so early?
6457She then a little embarrassed me by an inquiry"why Major Phillips went to Ireland?"
6457Should that be proved, what compensation will be sufficient for repairing his confinement?
6457Should we not have done so mutually, if the contagious fever at Cambridge had carried him off?
6457Tell, tell me, my beloved ami, where, when you would have me remove?
6457The death of one of these so untimely departed favourites, how will Madame de Stael support?
6457The door now again opened, and another royal personage put in his head- and upon the princess saying,"How d''ye do, William?"
6457The greater part of our income[ Fanny''s pension] is anything but certain, yet what should we do if that were to fail us?
6457The king, then, looking at Herschel, as who would say,"How is it?"
6457The queen now imagined he did not know whom she meant, and said,"What does he call you?
6457Then, putting his arms a- kimbo, he said, in lower, but more, taunting accents,"Vous ne le jugez donc pas propos de me suivre?"
6457Tide?
6457Unhappy myself everywhere, why not leave unshackled his dawning life?
6457Voulez- vous bien pr � senter tous mes complimens au capitaine?
6457Vous le voyez bien?"
6457Was this from the real merit he had shown in his police capacity?
6457Well, but how does your Petit and pretty monsieur do?
6457What censure can ever so much hurt as such compensation can heal?
6457What do you think of it?"
6457What does he do in Ireland?
6457What is become of the campaign?
6457What is there there to merit her?
6457What kind of animals have you left her with?
6457What must I be, if not far more than Page 276 contented?
6457What must be the feelings at the queen''s house?
6457What news from Captain phillip?
6457What will you have conjectured?
6457What would she say should evidence be imperfect or wanting, and they should acquit her?
6457What?"
6457When the servants were gone, the duke asked me if anybody might write a letter to the king?
6457When will some occasion offer to bring me back- not my revenge, but my first and most coveted satisfaction?
6457When will the work come out for which she was, she says, chass � e de la France?
6457Who, however, could have expected such prompt admission?
6457Why did you not bring her with you?
6457Why does he not burn half?
6457Why, Fanny, what are you about, and where are you?
6457Why, then, make myself black bile to disturb me further?
6457Will it make you double your diligence for what is not at an end?
6457Will you take a little cell under our rustic roof, and fare as we fare?
6457Would I not have left even Kin to have followed you and your fate even to St. Domingo?
6457Would you have me make any inquiry if it be irreversible?''
6457Yet how can that be?
6457You ask who Page 452 named him preacher for the 5th Sunday in Lent: How could I omit telling you''twas the Bishop of London himself?
6457and for what ought we to prepare?
6457and in an evening?
6457and why do you think him SO very bad?
6457are both parties incapacitated from beginning?
6457connaisseZ- vous Sidney?
6457cried the king archly,"and what other characters have you seized?"
6457cried the king;"what is become of him?"
6457d''Arblay?"
6457d''Arblay?"
6457do you know Sidney?
6457everybody has left off even corsets!--Shift sleeves?
6457exclaimed I,"le premier Consul?"
6457exclaimed I,"the first Consul?"
6457exclaimed he,"vous � tes Anglaise?
6457hey, mon petit monsieur?
6457hey?
6457how will she be content to be a monitress, where she will find everything in useful life to teach, and nothing in return to learn?
6457it matters not; but who knew that circumstance when they played truant?
6457let us speak upon a grave subject: do I see you that morning?
6457no one wears more than one!-- Stays?
6457or is each waiting a happy moment to strike some definitive stroke?
6457or only form the skeleton?"
6457she cried:"I am vastly glad to see you again and how does your little boy do?"
6457tell to me, what will you?"
6457that she has heard me too?"
6457vous avez connu cette coquine de Brulard?
6457what does he go there for?"
6457what ought to be held more sacred where it is innocent-- what ought so little to risk any unnecessary or premature concussion?
6457what you say?"
6457when do you come spend a large week in that house?
6457when shall I get to Chelsea, and embrace again my beloved father?
6457who can rejoice?
6457who made it you, mamma, or little aunty?"
6457why, how can he so encumber himself?
6457with double the emphasis, repeated the young princess, now sitting down and taking him upon her knee;"and how does M. d''Arblay do?"
6457you are really, then, well?--really in Paris?-- really without hurt or injury?
6457you knew that infamous woman?"
28961An old laborer, arrived from abroad?
28961And do you know who has made me return to them?
28961And tell me,my father said, with a smile,"do you not recall any roguish tricks?"
28961And they are taught to speak in the same way?
28961And where have the Mequinez gone?
28961And where have they gone?
28961And will you be able to tell me what you see up there-- if there are Austrian soldiers in that direction, clouds of dust, gleaming guns, horses?
28961Are they moving?
28961Are you good for a climb to the top of this tree?
28961Are you here?
28961Are you the person of whom the newspaper says so and so?
28961Are you,asked my father, raising his hat,"Vincenzo Crosetti, the schoolmaster?"
28961At what distance from here?
28961But how shall I manage to eat,said the master,"with these poor hands which shake in this way?
28961But it is not with signs that she talks, signora; it is not with her fingers? 28961 But the others?
28961But where do you do your work, Coretti?
28961But where is this institution?
28961But you are not at all offended?
28961But you will not do so, little one?
28961Cicillo, my son, how is this? 28961 Do n''t you see?"
28961Do not they love you?
28961Do you know,said he,"I have not seen him since the war of''sixty- six?
28961Do you need any assistance?
28961Do you see how it is done, little master?
28961Do you see men?
28961Do you see,he then said, turning to the boy,"how fast things are done in America?"
28961Do you see?
28961Do you want anything else, mamma?
28961Eh? 28961 Eh?
28961Grandmother,said Ferruccio, still kneeling, and pressing her close to him,"dear grandmother, you love me, do n''t you?"
28961Have you seen any Austrians pass?
28961Have you taken the two spoonfuls of syrup? 28961 Have you understood?
28961How is my mother? 28961 How many are two times ten?"
28961How many operations? 28961 In the name of Heaven, what is the matter with you?"
28961Is he very ill? 28961 Is he your father?"
28961Is it of silver gilt?
28961Is it true that you are the father of this lad?
28961Is not this,said the boy, making an effort to utter a sound,"the shop of Francesco Merelli?"
28961Is there any one here?
28961It is I,said the latter;"Garrone: do you know me?"
28961Mine?
28961Now do you understand?
28961Of yours, sir?
28961Tell me the number; do n''t you know it? 28961 Tell me, Gigia,"he asked his daughter, whispering in her ear,"are you glad that your father has come back?"
28961The Genoese? 28961 The Mequinez family lives here, does it not?"
28961The engineer Mequinez?
28961To the left?
28961To the top of this tree? 28961 Well, are you coming or not?"
28961Were you wounded?
28961What am I to say to you, my poor child?
28961What are you doing here?
28961What are you doing, Coretti?
28961What are you doing, captain? 28961 What are you saying?"
28961What could one expect?
28961What do I demand?
28961What do you demand for this service?
28961What do you see?
28961What do you want, boy?
28961What else do you see to the left?
28961What else do you see?
28961What father?
28961What has happened?
28961What have you to say to me? 28961 What is it?"
28961What is it?
28961What is mamma''s name?
28961What is taking place? 28961 What is the matter with my father?"
28961What is the matter with my mother? 28961 What is the name of this college?"
28961What is the name of your little sister?
28961What would you have me do?
28961What''s the matter? 28961 When did he die?"
28961When did he enter the hospital?
28961Where are you going?
28961Where is Cordova? 28961 Where is the cupboard?"
28961Where? 28961 Where?"
28961Who are you?
28961Who is he?
28961Who is it?
28961Who is it?
28961Who is it?
28961Who was it? 28961 Who''s there?"
28961Whom do you want?
28961Why did you not flee with your family?
28961Why do you behave like this? 28961 Will you accept these sugar- plums from the little harlequin?"
28961Will you have the goodness to let him come here for a moment, as I have a word to say to him?
28961Would you like to be one of those to carry the certificates of the prizes to the authorities in the theatre to- morrow?
28961Would you like to have me give the bandage a turn, captain? 28961 You have the patience to teach them to speak in that manner, little by little, and so many of them?
28961You were a lively lad, eh? 28961 You will not go through the fourth grade with us?"
28961You will not turn aside your head, will you? 28961 ''Who are you?'' 28961 A small tricolored flag is the symbol of Italy as much as a huge banner, is it not? 28961 All at once the old man raised his face, with his eyes opened widely, and said slowly:Alberto Bottini?
28961All well, eh?
28961All were asking themselves,"To whom will he give the second?"
28961And Concettella?
28961And Garoffi?
28961And he said to himself:"Shall I see thee again, dear mother?
28961And he said:--"O my mother, where art thou?
28961And how fares the school?
28961And how is mamma?
28961And how were they to get down?
28961And she has grown?
28961And subtraction?
28961And the answer?
28961And the little baby-- how are they all?
28961And the person whom they had in their service?
28961And the policeman and the other people were crying more loudly than ever:"Who was it?
28961And the punctuation of decimals?"
28961And then Derossi asked him:--"Is it true, sir, that you have been a teacher of the blind?"
28961And then the mothers come to complain:"How comes it, signorina, that my boy has lost his pen?
28961And what if she had not gone there?
28961And what if she were dead?
28961Answer me: do you hear me?
28961Are we to leave him here like a dog?"
28961Are you alone?
28961Are you ready to do it?
28961As soon as we were outside the door, whom should we espy there, in the large hall, just at the entrance?
28961Ask alms?
28961At what distance is it situated?"
28961But I said to myself, What is the use of her learning to talk if I do n''t know how to make the signs myself?
28961But do you thoroughly comprehend the significance of that word?
28961But his work?
28961But she speedily recovered herself, and mad with joy, she shrieked as she covered his head with kisses:"How do you come here?
28961But who was Count Cavour?
28961Ca n''t we find enough to pay for his ticket to go to Cordova in search of his mother?
28961Can you speak, my child?
28961Do not a hundred answers present themselves to you on the instant?
28961Do you hear my voice?
28961Do you hear what I say?"
28961Do you know how many men have planted a knife in their hearts in despair at beholding their children in misery?
28961Do you know that my old first elementary teacher, Vincenzo Crosetti, is eighty- four years old?
28961Do you know who he is?
28961Do you know, Enrico, that all you boys should, on this day, devote a thought to those who are dead?
28961Do you know, my son, why I did not wish you to wipe off the sofa?
28961Do you not know, you who grieve your sister, that if a tremendous misfortune should overtake us, I should be a mother to you and love you like my son?
28961Do you see?
28961Do you understand?"
28961Do you wish me to punish you by force?"
28961Does not this strike you as nice?
28961Does your heart suggest nothing to you?"
28961Dost thou think of thy Marco, who is so near to thee?"
28961Dost thou think of thy son?
28961Even without me?
28961Forty years have elapsed since then, have they not?
28961Has she learned how to make signs?
28961Have n''t I the right to see my general with some little comfort,--I, who was in that squadron?
28961Have they taken my mother away, too?"
28961Have you ever reflected how many fathers have worn out their lives in toil?
28961He approached the door slowly, and summoning up a resolute spirit, he inquired:--"Can you tell me, signor, where the family Mequinez is?"
28961He could work-- but how?
28961He had been robbed; he had only a few lire left; but what mattered that to him, when he was near his mother?
28961He has come to see me work a little, has he not?
28961He kissed me, and said:--"We''ll have no more altercations between us, will we?"
28961He lifted one foot, and said to me,"Have you seen my officer''s boots?"
28961He turned to my father:--"Will you do me the favor to tell me the total?"
28961Henceforth thou must say to thyself at every act of thine,"Would my mother approve this?"
28961His son asked him,"If he were to see you, would he remember you?"
28961How are your comrades getting along?
28961How comes it that he has gone to end his days at Condove, near Turin?
28961How could they get hold of it?
28961How could you leave your occupations, to come and see a poor old schoolmaster?"
28961How did he manage to write thus in the dark?
28961How did this mistake occur?
28961How does it happen that mine learns nothing?
28961How is Gigia?"
28961How is he?"
28961How is it possible?
28961How is it that you did not know it?"
28961How is she getting on, then?
28961How is she?"
28961How many days have you been here?
28961How shall we manage to understand each other, poor little thing?
28961I am dissatisfied; do you understand?"
28961I do not know-- When were you my scholar?
28961I heard my father say in a tone of astonishment:--"You here, Giorgio?"
28961I heard one of them say,"And shall I not see him at school again?"
28961I said to him:--"Are you crying for the little mason?
28961I shall never recall any wrong of yours; and if you should give me other sorrows, what matters it?
28961I?
28961In the meantime a crowd had formed around the old man, and a policeman and others were running to and fro, threatening and demanding:"Who was it?
28961In the morning, in the dormitory, one asks another,''Is the sun shining?''
28961Is it not so, Enrico?"
28961Is it not true,"he added, turning to the class,"that he deserves it also on that score?"
28961Is it you?
28961Is there no one?"
28961Is there no way of finding thirty lire among so many fellow- countrymen?"
28961It would not cost you much to make every one like you, and you would be so much happier yourself, too!--Well, have you no reply to make me?"
28961Mamma stared at us in surprise, and Silvia began:--"Papa has no money, has he?"
28961Marco stared at him with wide- open eyes, and asked him hastily, turning pale as he did so,"Did you see the servant of Signor Mequinez-- the Italian?"
28961Mario shook himself and rose:"Are you better?"
28961My father asked me:"Have you spoken to all of your comrades?"
28961My father inquired of a master,"What has happened?"
28961My father interrupted him,"And your affairs?"
28961My father wished to have him enter; but he refused, and suddenly inquired, assuming a serious expression:"How is my family?
28961My mother said to her:--"And your health, my dear mistress?
28961My poor mute child!--Are you her teacher, signora?
28961Now we must make sacrifices, too, must we not?
28961Oh, my daughter, you understand me, then?
28961On the street Garrone halted, and said, with his mouth full of bread:--"What shall I buy?"
28961One teacher asked a row of eight children,"Where does rice grow?"
28961Perhaps I shall continue my studies with Derossi and with some others; but how about all the rest?
28961Precossi asked timidly:--"I may carry it away-- home?"
28961Say something to me: you can speak?"
28961Shall I arrive at the end of my journey, my mother?"
28961She is in good spirits?"
28961She speaks?
28961Take a good look at me; do n''t you know me?
28961Tell me, she has grown?
28961The alms of a man is an act of charity; but that of a child is at one and the same time an act of charity and a caress-- do you understand?
28961The door opened-- and whom did I see?
28961The father, gazing straight in her face, repeated,"Are you glad that your father has come back?
28961The latter asked in a low voice,"Did you find it?"
28961The man who held the boy said in his ear,"Where does your father keep his money?"
28961The master asked the Calabrian:--"Did you do it intentionally?"
28961The master cried out once more, raising his voice still louder,"Who is it?"
28961The master, quite pale, went to his table, and said in a constrained voice:--"Who did it?"
28961The teacher smiled, and said in a low voice to the girl,"Who is this man who has come to see you?"
28961Then he asked his son,"Did you say that?"
28961Then he looked at my father and mother, in still greater astonishment, and asked me:--"But why?"
28961Then he was startled by a voice saying to him in a mixture of Italian and Lombard dialect,"What is the matter, little boy?"
28961Then she asked the boy:"And are you going to stay with your relatives?"
28961Then she succeeded in asking:--"They are not here now?"
28961Then the boy plucked up courage, and asked in a tearful voice,"What is the matter with my father?"
28961Then, at the close of school, when his mother came to meet him, and inquired with some anxiety, as she embraced him,"Well, my poor son, how did it go?
28961Then, with a burst of violent resolution:"Which way am I to go?
28961Then, without raising his head, he inquired:"And shall you remember your comrades of the third grade?"
28961Think an instant how often you give way to acts of impatience, and towards whom?
28961To be repulsed, insulted, humiliated, as he had been a little while ago?
28961To whom should he apply for work?
28961To whom should they have recourse?
28961Twenty- six thousand persons who do not see the light-- do you understand?
28961Two or three of the girls of the second grade approached him and said,"What is the matter, that you weep like this?"
28961Was he quite sure, after all, that he should find his mother at Cordova?
28961Was it you?
28961We have been together a year, and now we part good friends, do we not?
28961What ails him?"
28961What am I to do?
28961What are they doing to her?"
28961What art thou doing at this moment?
28961What could be done for them?
28961What do you know about it?
28961What does this mean?"
28961What if that gentleman in the Via del los Artes had made a mistake?
28961What is it that you want?"
28961What is the matter with you?
28961What is the total?
28961What is there that I can add after the soldiers''knapsacks?
28961What is there that I can say?
28961What was to be done?
28961What was to be done?
28961What would your father say to it?"
28961Where are we?
28961Where is he now, my poor darling?"
28961Where is it?
28961Where was he to find the money to pay his fare?
28961Where was he to go?
28961Who brought you?
28961Who can forget you?"
28961Who did it?
28961Who did it?
28961Who did it?"
28961Who has any soldi?
28961Who has told you?"
28961Who would support his sons?
28961Why do I love Italy?
28961Why do n''t you have that nail which tore my Piero''s trousers, taken out of the bench?"
28961Why do not you do like the rest?
28961Why do you like him so much?"
28961Why had he offered me that affront?
28961Why is not my boy mentioned honorably, when he knows so much?
28961Why"never more,"Enrico?
28961Why, Enrico, after our father has already reproved you for having behaved badly to Coretti, were you so unkind to me?
28961Why, then, will you never meet again?
28961Why?
28961Will you accept it in memory of me, Signor Master?''
28961Will you, who are so kind to my son, and so fond of him, do me the favor to accept this little memento from a poor mother?"
28961You are not ill?
28961You are pleased, then?"
28961You are sorry for this, are you not?
28961You did not understand, Enrico, why I did not permit you to enter?
28961You do very well without your old master, do you not?"
28961You have returned to good habits?"
28961You want to know what there is on the left?"
28961You will always remember me-- your Ferruccio?"
28961You will give me your portrait, also, will you not, when you have finished the elementary course?"
28961You will not deny your poor friend?"
28961You will remember me, grandmother-- will you not?
28961after sixty years of teaching, is this all thy recompense?"
28961can you speak?
28961come here; you have come to inquire after the wounded man, have you not?
28961do n''t you see how much the teacher suffers?"
28961how did it go?"
28961how many women have drowned themselves or have died of sorrow, or have gone mad, through having lost a child?
28961is n''t it true that it is entirely of gold?"
28961of this head of bronze?
28961one by one-- through years and years?
28961replied the master;"do you see this trembling?"
28961said the boy,"it is I; do n''t you know me?
28961said the woman to me;"you have come to visit the sick, have you not?"
28961that he is not going away again?"
28961the one who lived in the Piazza della Consolata?"
28961the son of Bottini, the engineer?
28961what ails you, my boy?"
28961what do you want to do here?
28961what is it that makes me so happy this morning?"
28961what is the name of that country?
28961where?"
31087Are you_ Union_ soldiers?
31087Echo answers where?
31087Stonewall Jackson? 31087 Under which King, Benzonian?"
31087What authority had he for this?
31087What is Randolph?
31087Where is McClellan, general?
31087Will not the Confederate soldiers now in Pennsylvania remember such acts of cruelty and barbarism? 31087 Will they come, when he does call for them?"

31087AUGUST 24TH.--We have nothing further from Charleston, except that Beauregard threatened retaliation( how?)
31087And Mr. Hotze( who is he?)
31087And are they not?
31087And do they not take gold and other property to the North, and thereby defeat the object of the sequestration act?
31087And he supposes Bragg''s splendid victory( what did he suppose the next day?)
31087And how could any of its members escape?
31087And is it nothing to have her soil polluted by the martial tramp of the Yankees at Alexandria and Arlington Heights?
31087And what are we doing?
31087And what are we doing?
31087And what are we fighting for?
31087And what would become of the slaves, especially in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri?
31087And will not that gallant boy in the 16th Regiment remember his mother''s fate, and take vengeance on the enemy?
31087At this rate, how are we to replenish the ranks as they become thinned in battle?
31087Bragg will_ probably_ be sustained by the President-- but then what will become of------, who is so inimical to Bragg?
31087But can he control the State governments?
31087But can he, a modest man and a Christian, aspire to such a position?
31087But how can Lee achieve anything when the enemy is ever kept informed not only of his movements in progress, but of his probable intentions?
31087But how can it be possible for the people of the North to submit to martial law?

31087But suppose it should_ not_ be relieved, and a force should be sent suddenly up the James and York Rivers?
31087But suppose that should be too late?
31087But the gunpowder will be used to destroy the destroyer, man, and why should not the birds sing?
31087But was Beauregard aware of the fact, before the opportunity ceased to exist?
31087But we can not fail without more great battles; and who knows what results may be evolved by them?
31087But what do they mean by the"_ nation_?"
31087But what good will the crops do, if we be subjugated in the mean time?
31087But what is in a name?
31087But what is this"agent"to procure in the United States which could not be had by our steamers plying regularly between Wilmington and Europe?
31087But what may not its ending be?
31087But what were they sent to Lee for, unless he meant to give battle?
31087But where are State Rights now?
31087But where will this end?
31087But who can foresee the future through the smoke of war, and amid the clash of bayonets?
31087But why does the government issue such an order in North Carolina, when the government itself is selling, not destroying, the cotton of Mississippi?

31087But will the potency of his cabinet feed Lee''s army?
31087But will the_ arms_ be distributed among them?
31087But with flour at$ 200 per barrel; meal,$ 20 per bushel, and meat from$ 2 to$ 5 per pound, what income would suffice?
31087But, then, what is the cotton business?
31087Ca n''t the troops be paid?
31087Can Savannah, and Charleston, and Wilmington be successfully defended?
31087Can he believe the silly tale about our troops being sent from Virginia to the Carolinas?
31087Can he have them?
31087Can it be Gen. Cooper( Northern) who procures the appointment of so many Northern generals in our army?
31087Can it be possible that the United States are ignorant of popular sentiment here?
31087Can it be possible that_ he_ has influenced the President''s mind on this subject?
31087Can it be possible that_ we_ have men in power who are capable of taking bribes from the enemy?
31087Can it be that his hesitation is caused by the advice of the President, in his great solicitude to make the best appointments?
31087Can it be that the President knows nothing of this?
31087Can such a people be subjugated?
31087Can such soldiers be vanquished?

6042( 368)PRAY, will you tell me,"said Mrs. Crewe, drily,"what you mean by the people?
6042A comedy?
6042A design upon me?
6042A little, sir?
6042A shake?
6042Ah, ma''am-- is there no language but of words? 6042 Altered, is he?"
6042And can he ever look pleasant? 6042 And can this man,"cried he, presently,"this man-- so gentle--- be guilty?"
6042And can you,I cried, fixing him,"can you have so much compassion for one captive, and still have none for another?"
6042And has he done it?
6042And how, for heaven''s sake?
6042And if it does,cried Mrs. Crewe,"what is it to us?
6042And if you could so love him,cried I,"knowing him only in a general way, what would you have felt for him had you known him at Streatham?"
6042And in the Little park?
6042And is it essential,cried I,"that they should so run them through that nobody can understand them?
6042And is there no dispensation?
6042And now, poor Stanhope,cried the duke,"give another glass to poor Stanhope, d''ye hear?"
6042And now,I continued,"shall I tell you, just in the same simple style, how I have been struck with the speakers and speeches I have yet heard?"
6042And now,cried he, making us all sit down again,"where are my rascals of servants?
6042And pray what was it?
6042And pray, Mr. Turbulent, solve me, then, this difficulty; what choice has a poor female with whom she may converse? 6042 And pray, ma''am, what food have they in winter?"
6042And pray,quoth I to James, when he told me this,"did you not say the honour of an audience?"
6042And shall I tell you,I added,"something in which you had nearly been involved with him?"
6042And was it my spinning?
6042And what do you think of Miss Fuzilier?
6042And what is it has saved you?
6042And what was that?
6042And what,cried he, laughing,"do you say to that notion now you see him?"
6042And what,cried he,"has your father got, at last?
6042And what,he asked,"shall you do?"
6042And when?
6042And where do you wait?
6042And where? 6042 And who bin he?"
6042And why not?
6042And why,cried he,"do you speak so low?
6042And why?
6042And why?
6042And will the chancellor speak to adjourn?
6042And you wish,he cried,"to hear me?
6042Are you approaching,I cried,"to hear my upbraidings?"
6042Are you preparing,he cried,"for a campaign?"
6042Are- are you feverish, ma''am?
6042But better?
6042But can you speak seriously,cried he,""when You say you know nothing of this business?"
6042But did you see nothing-- remark nothing there? 6042 But do I use it?"
6042But for what is your man to have it, when it is mine?
6042But have you, yourself, ma''am, no curiosity-- no desire to see Colonel Wellbred?
6042But how,cried I,"could you stand?"
6042But how,cried he,"do you give up, without deigning to assign one reason for It"?
6042But how,cried he,"do you stand the fiery trial of this Streatham book that is coming upon us?"
6042But how,cried he,"have I incurred your upbraidings?"
6042But in the Little park?
6042But pray, ma''am,very gravely, how did it happen?
6042But the real use of a fan,cried he,"if there is any, is it not-- to hide a particular blush that ought not to appear?"
6042But what was it?
6042But what,cried I,"was the occasion that drew you forth?"
6042But will you not, at least, tell me your reasons for this conduct?
6042But would he, if guilty, have waited its chance? 6042 But you have not seen much of him?"
6042But, at least,I said,"I hope what I hear is not true, though I now grow afraid to ask?"
6042But, surely you must have read the charges?
6042But,cried he,"can you not bid somebody watch?"
6042But: pray, now, Colonel Wellbred, tell me sincerely)--could you really make out what I was singing?
6042By auction, Sir? 6042 By your father?"
6042Can nobody,he cried,"let you know when they are coming?"
6042Come hither, do you hear?
6042Come, Miss Burney,cried the queen,"how are your spirits?-- How is your voice?"
6042Corrigà © e? 6042 Could you imagine I should miss your conversation, your ease, your pleasantness, your gaiety, and take no notice of the loss?"
6042Did I bring you here?
6042Do you see Scott?
6042Do you?
6042Do you?
6042Does Miss Burney know Latin?
6042Entertained?
6042Fanciful, Sir?
6042Give me, then, your promise,--your solemn promise,--at least I may claim that?
6042Good heaven, Mr. Turbulent, what can induce you to say this?
6042Have I?
6042Have they indeed?
6042Have you not heard of yourself?
6042Have you read two?
6042Have you, then, still,cried he,"the same sentiments?"
6042Have you,cried I,"heard all thus far of the defence, and are you still unmoved?"
6042How can that be,cried he,"when you never contest any one point with her?"
6042How do you do, Captain Burney?
6042How do you do, sir?
6042How is it all to be?
6042How nervous I am?
6042How should he,cried I,"look otherwise than unpleasant here?"
6042How,he cried,"are You?
6042How?--by not answering when spoken to?
6042I can not,he said,"stop now, but I will come again; however, you know it, perhaps, already?
6042I know it,cried he,"and what do I care?"
6042I must fairly, then, own myself utterly ignorant upon this subject, and-- and-- may I go on?
6042I thought he meant to leave us to- day? 6042 I understand,"quoth I,"there is a great dearth of abilities in this new Assembly; how then should there be any variety?"
6042In disgrace?
6042In my parlour? 6042 Indeed, what you have seen of him have you then so much approved?"
6042Is he here, then?
6042Is it not true?
6042Is the defence to go on long, and are they to have any evidence; or how?
6042Is the king, ma''am,he cried,"there?
6042Is the queen here?
6042Knock him on the head?
6042Ma''am,cried he,"you have a brother in the service?"
6042May I,I said,"go yet a little farther?
6042May I,he cried,"come in?--and- for an hour?
6042May one?
6042Me?
6042Me?
6042Me?--no, not INo?--what, nothing?"
6042Men have no fans,cried he,"and how do they do?"
6042Mr. Turbulent,cried I,"will you be satisfied if I tell you it shall all blow over?"
6042My help?
6042My name? 6042 No offence, I hope, sir?"
6042No, I hope not; I hope you have no wants about my miserable speaking?
6042No, no, I do n''t mean that;--but why ca n''t we have our waitings month by month?--would not that be better?
6042No? 6042 No?
6042No? 6042 None of them, ma''am?"
6042Not mean it?
6042O How can I,cried she, in a voice of distress,"when already, as there is company here without me, Mrs. Schwellenberg has asked me what I came for?"
6042O, Mr. Windham,cried I, surprised and pleased,"and can you be so liberal?"
6042O,cried he, very unaffectedly,"upon the French Revolution?"
6042Of leadder, sir?--of leadder? 6042 Once,"he answered,"I said a few words--""O when?"
6042Perhaps,cried I,"your friends conclude you have music enough in your three months''waiting to satisfy you for all the year?"
6042Pray, Mr. Turbulent,cried she, hastily,"what play are you to read to- night?"
6042Pray, then, madam,cried he,"if French plays have the misfortune to displease you, what national plays have the honour Of your preference?"
6042Shall I leave the poem,he cried,"or take it with me, in case there should be any leisure to go on with it to- morrow?"
6042Shall I tell you,cried I,"a design I have been forming upon you?"
6042Should you like to know him, ma''am?
6042So then,cried Colonel Goldsworthy,"there are twenty good people in the world?
6042So you meant, ma''am, to have had a breed of them,cried Colonel Goldsworthy;"a breed of young frogs?
6042Surely,she cried,"you may wrap up, so as not to catch cold that once?"
6042Tell me,I said,"and honestly,--should we be overturned in the boat while out at sea, what would prevent our being drowned?"
6042The Lords, however, I suppose, must come?
6042Then what business have they to get into my bed, ma''am? 6042 Then, sir,"very angrily,"how Come you by it?"
6042Thraldom?
6042To be sold? 6042 Unmoved?"
6042Vell, sleeps he yet with you--Colonel Goldsworthy?
6042Well, I think it will be, for I know they correspond; and what should he correspond with her for else?
6042Well, Miss Burney,cried the first,"what say you to a governor- general of India now?"
6042Well, and is that a good voice?
6042Well, but pray, now, what do you call my voice?
6042Well, but would not that be better than what it is now? 6042 Well, but,"cried he laughing,"may I find a fault?
6042Well, ma''am, it''s all Colonel Wellbred, I dare say; so, suppose you and I were to take the law of him?
6042Well, ma''am, what say you to all this? 6042 Well, well,"cried he,"that may be some compensation to you, but to us, to all others, what compensation is there for depriving you of time?"
6042Well,he cried, in our way to the chair,"will there be war with Spain?"
6042Well,quoth I, to make a little amends,"shall I tell you a compliment he paid you?"
6042Well?
6042What is it all to the shame and disgrace of convicted guilt?
6042What news?
6042What will you do, my good colonel?
6042What you mean by going home?
6042What''s the matter? 6042 What, in his foot?"
6042What, ma''am!--won''t you give him a little tea?
6042What, then, have not you heard-- how Much the king has talked? 6042 What?--hey?--How?"
6042When did he come back?
6042When the Duke of York came yesterday to dinner, he said almost immediately,''Pray, ma''am, what has Miss Burney left You for?'' 6042 When will he come to the point?
6042When you do n''t not see them? 6042 Whether or not,"quoth I,"I am heartily glad he has not done it; why should he seem so dismal, so shut out from hope?"
6042Who is it?
6042Who is it?
6042Who?
6042Why then, ma''am, what business had it in my bed? 6042 Why, how must I do it?"
6042Why, like when he was so cordial with you? 6042 Why, then, I''ll try myself-- is it so?"
6042Will he stay on to- night, then, at Worcester?
6042Will you give me leave to inquire,quoth I,"one thing?
6042Will you, at least, promise I shall be present at the meet--?
6042Yes, I''ll tell you,cried he; but again he stopped, and, hesitatingly, said,"You-- you wo n''t be angry?"
6042Yes, Indeed; gentle even to humility--"Humility? 6042 Yes, Yes,"cried he, precipitately,"how else shall I go on?
6042Yes, and who can wonder? 6042 Yes, ma''am, and I have been very much hurt by it: that is, if your majesty means anything relative to myself?"
6042Yes, ma''am, upon my speaking,-but why did you keep Me so long in that painful suspense?
6042Yes, you,--and for what, I say?
6042Yes,I answered, shuddering at this new scene for her"should I tell her majesty your royal highness is here?"
6042Yes,said he;"I was singing with Colonel Wellbred; and he said he was my second.--How did I do that song?"
6042Yes-- but the shame, the disgrace of a flight?
6042You are an Etonian, Mr. Bryant,said the king,"but pray, for what were you most famous at school?"
6042You are certainly, then, afraid of him?
6042You are going,she cried,"to church?--so, am I. I must run first to the inn: I suppose one-- may sit-- anywhere one pleases?"
6042You are never, then( I said afterwards),"to speak here?"
6042You believe not?
6042You conclude,cried he, looking very sharp,"I shall then be better steeled against that fatal candour?"
6042You do n''t take it ill, I hope, sir?
6042You do not, however, call that virtue, ma''am-- you do not call that the rule of right?
6042You have?
6042You think,cried he,"''tis bringing a fresh courser into the field of battle, just as every other is completely jaded?"
6042You tired!--what have you done? 6042 You will come, however, to hear Burke?
6042You-- you are not well, ma''am?
6042Your majesty, sir, knows General Conway? 6042 ''A drunken man?'' 6042 ''Gone?'' 6042 ''La Coquette''is your royal highness''s taste?
6042''Left me?''
6042''Tis indeed a dread event!--and how it may terminate who can say?
6042''What do you put them there for?''
6042''What for?
6042''Yes, it''s at full length in all the newspapers: is not she gone?''
6042''Yes, they say she''s gone; pray what''s the reason?''
6042( 283)"Cui Bono?
6042( 314) In the evening, Lord Courtown, opening my parlour door, called out,"May one come in?"
6042( 336) But is it possible, sir, that your daughter has no holidays?
6042( 362)"Is it possible?
6042--And who will repine at that?
6042--Must I teach it you,,--teach it to Miss Burney who speaks, who understands it so well?--who is never silent, and never can b silent?"
6042A little while after,--"Did he go away from you early?"
6042A lively"How d''ye do, Miss Burney?
6042After a short vindication of his friends, he said,"You have never heard Pitt?
6042After some general talk,"When, ma''am,"he said,"am I to have the honour of introducing Colonel Wellbred to you?"
6042After such averseness to a meeting-- such struggles to avoid him; what am I to think of the sincerity of that pretended reluctance?"
6042Afterwards he asked what his coat was, whether blue Or purple; and said,"is it not customary for a prisoner to come black?"
6042Again a little ashamed of herself, she added, rather more civilly,"For what should you have that trouble?"
6042Almost breathless now with amaze, I could hardly cry,"Do I?"
6042Am I so happy?
6042And have you heard nothing more?"
6042And is it not a curious scene?
6042And some time after the queen could not forbear saying,"I hope, Miss Burney, YOU minded the epilogue the other night?"
6042And then came his heroic old homage to the poor eyebrows vehemently finishing with,"Do you, can you affect to know no language but speech?"
6042And then, fixing her with the most provoking eyes,"Est- ce la Danemarc?"
6042And then, seeing her blush extremely, he clasped his hands, in high pretended confusion, Page 27 and hiding his head, called Out,"Que ferai- je?
6042And what, ma''am, has Colonel Wellbred done to merit such a mortification?"
6042Are we going to lose you?"
6042Are you strong?
6042At last he asked me if anybody was likely to come?
6042At the door of my new old room who should I encounter but Mr. Stanhope?
6042Been you acquainted?"
6042Beurni que je vois?
6042But I wonder what he says of everybody?"
6042But he would give me no satisfaction; he only said"You refuse to receive him, ma''am?-- shall I go and tell him you refuse to receive him?"
6042But just before we quitted the walks I was run after by a quick female step:--"Miss Burney, do n''t you know me?
6042But still, why begin with Colonel Wellbred?
6042But the heaviness of heart with which we began this journey, and the dreadful prognostics of the duration of misery to which it led us-- who can tell?
6042But then a difficulty arose as to where?
6042But this morning, while her hair was dressing, my royal Mistress suddenly said,"Did you see any body yesterday?"
6042But what are they to think of this delay?
6042But what will follow?
6042But what will not prejudice and education inculcate?
6042But what, you will say, has a tea- drinking party to do with a botanist, a man of science, a president of the Royal Society?
6042But when the dinner came I was asked by the prà © sidente,"What for send you gentlemen to my parlour?"
6042Ca n''t he come out?"
6042Can I call her by another name, loving that name so long, so well, for her and her sake?
6042Can Mr. Hastings appear to you such a monster?
6042Can You then be so unnatural as to prosecute him with this eagerness?"
6042Can you allow me entrance and room for that time?"
6042Colonel Manners asked me if I had not heard something, very harmonious at church in the morning?
6042Could I then be sorry, seeing this, to contribute my small mite towards clearing, at least, so very wide a mistake?
6042Could even his prosecutors at that moment look on-- and not shudder at least, if they did not blush?
6042Could he not have chosen any other place of residence?"
6042Did she imagine I should answer"For your society, ma''am"?
6042Did you ever hear a more perfectly satisfactory examination?
6042Do I see my dear Miss Burney?"
6042Do n''t you think so?"
6042Do you not think, Miss Planta, the Prince of Wales and Prince William would have been quite enough for Miss Burney?
6042Do you pretend to think there is no other?''
6042Do you really want rest?"
6042Do you rob, sir?
6042Do you take what is not your own, but others'', sir, because your man is frightened?"
6042Do you think I heard such a testimony to my most revered and beloved departed friend unmoved?
6042Do you think there can be any harm in giving it now?"
6042Equally amazed and provoked, she disdainfully asked me what I knew of him?
6042Fairly again; but, before he entered into any narrations he asked"DO you expect Sir Lucas?"
6042Fairly again?"
6042Fairly here to- night?"
6042Fairly is here to- day?
6042Fairly then asked Dr. Fisher what they were to do?
6042Fairly was here, then?"
6042Fairly will ever marry again?"
6042Fairly''s designs with regard to his going away?
6042Fairly''s voice, saying,"Is Miss Burney there?
6042Fairly, laughing,"to dine with you?"
6042Fairly, pointing to my work- box, said,"Shall I read a little to you?"
6042Fairly,--perhaps to show himself superior to that little sally,--asked me whether he might write his letter in my room?
6042Fairly;"they would have come to you, I promise you; and what could you have done-- what would have become of you?--with Prince William in particular?
6042Fairly?"
6042Fairly?"
6042Fairly?"
6042Fairly?--Why did he not tell it me?"
6042For what not go to the gentlemen?
6042For what wo n''t you not marry him?"
6042Has he never tasted happiness, who so deeply drinks of sorrow?
6042Hastings?"
6042Have I mentioned them?
6042Have you ever happened to see any of his writings?"
6042Have you not heard he spares nobody?"
6042He appeared to me in much perturbation, and I thought by his see- saw he was going to interrupt the speech: did you prevent him?"
6042He asked me whether I had walked out in the morning?
6042He assured me he was quite well-- as well as he had ever been in his life; and then inquired how I did, and how I went on?
6042He comes upon his defence; ought he to look as if he gave himself up?"
6042He did; adding,"Do you not like to sit here, where you can look down upon the several combatants before the battle?"
6042He shrugged his shoulders, and walked away; and Mr. Smelt, smiling, said,"Will you give us any?"
6042He stared a little, but I added with pretended dryness,"Do any of you that live down there in that prosecutor''s den ever sleep in your beds?
6042He started, and cried with precipitancy,"Do you mean me?"
6042He then asked me if I had heard Mr. Grey?"
6042He then said,"Have you done with my little book?"
6042He wanted to hear more particulars: I fancy the Willises had vaguely related some:"Did he not,"he cried,"promise to do something for you?"
6042Heavens!--did they ever, unsummoned, quit it?
6042Her majesty inquired of me if I had ever met with- Lady Hawke?
6042Her majesty was much surprised to hear he was again out so unexpectedly, and asked if he thought of going to Gloucester?
6042His face?"
6042Hogentot?"
6042How could this man be a soldier?
6042How d''ye do?"
6042How is that; have you it, as you Ought, at your own disposal?"
6042How should he know anything Of the matter?
6042How will you have it sold, Sir?
6042I asked another good woman, who came in for some flour, if she had been of the party?
6042I asked him if he thought a life of uselessness and of goodness the same thing?
6042I asked if he could yet let them have beds to stay, or horses to proceed?
6042I asked if she did not stay tea?
6042I begged him to follow, and we were proceeding to the dressing- room, when I was stopped by a gentleman, who said,"Does the queen want anybody?"
6042I both believed and applauded him so far; but why) Page 59 are either of them engaged in a prosecution so uncoloured by necessity?
6042I could hardly stand this, and, to turn it off'', asked him if Mr. Hastings was to make his own defence?
6042I could not help saying rather faintly,"Has he?"
6042I courtsied, and wondered more, and then a surprised voice exclaimed,"Do n''t you know me?"
6042I entreated to know why such a change?
6042I heard it, however, again,--and the queen called out,"What is that?"
6042I hope you are quite well now?"
6042I inquired how it was all to end-- whether this reading was to continue incessantly, or any speaking was to follow it?
6042I inquired if he pursued his musical studies, so happily begun with Colonel Wellbred?
6042I inquired of Miss Herschel if she was still comet- hunting, or content now with the moon?
6042I inquired of her if she had seen the royal family when they visited Devonshire?
6042I ran off to another scene, and inquired how he had been amused abroad, and, in particular, at the National Assembly?
6042I then mentioned how kindly he had taken his visit to him at Lichfield during a severe illness,"And he left you,"I said,"a book?"
6042I ventured then to ask if yet I had been named?
6042I was in my inner room, and called out,"Who''s there?"
6042I was not quite prepared for the interrogatory, and feared she might next inquire when and where I had seen him?
6042I was the other day at a place to see Stuart''s Athenian architecture, and whom do you think I met in the room?"
6042Is it so?
6042Is not this a charming trait of provincial popularity?
6042Is not this a fit bishop''s wife?
6042Is that a form of law?"
6042Is this explicit?
6042July 2.-What a stare was drawn from our new equerry(238) by Major Price''s gravely asking Mrs. Schwellenberg, after the health of her frogs?
6042Let her tell her own story, and how will it harm us?"
6042MAY"ONE"COME IN?
6042Mademoiselle votre fille n''a- t- elle point de vacance?
6042May I not justly call it so, different as it is to all the mode of life I have hitherto lived here, or alas I am in a way to live henceforward?
6042Might one not think he was bred in the cloisters?
6042Mr. Bunbury laughed, but declared he would not take the hint:"What,"cried he,"if I lose the beginning?
6042Mr. Windham; would you wish me in future to take to nothing but lions?
6042Mrs. Crewe hastily and alarmed interrupted him, to inquire what he meant, and what might ensue to Mr. Crewe?
6042Must she not, in company as in dancing, take up with those Who choose to take up with her?"
6042My dear ma''am, why do you stay?--it wo n''t do, ma''am!
6042My dearest friends,- I have her majesty''s commands to inquire-- whether you have any of a certain breed of poultry?
6042Need I more strongly than this mark the very rare pleasure I received from his conversation?
6042O, who could succeed there?
6042Page 18"But what can he say, ma''am?
6042Page 254"Know what?"
6042Page 28"Not till you have answered that question, ma''am''what country has plays to your royal highness''s taste?"
6042Page 341 I found, however, they had already met, probably in the passage, for the queen added,"How melancholy he looks, does not he, princess royal?"
6042Page 41"But how did I do it, Wellbred; for I never tried at it before?"
6042Page 440"But do you not think Mr. Law spoke well?"
6042Page 467"Pray, sir,"cried she,"what''s o''clock?"
6042Page 58"Nay,"cried I,"could I well be quicker?
6042Page 70"For what, then,"cried a stern voice behind me,"for What go you upstairs at all, when you do n''t drink coffee?
6042Pray does he know any Of your secrets?
6042Pray, have you all drunk his majesty''s health?"
6042Shall I bring him to the Lodge to see you?"
6042Shall I tell the colonel- to bring one?"
6042She asked if he should not return to Brighthelmstone?
6042She asked me a thousand questions of what I thought about Miss Fuzilier?
6042She asked me, somewhat curiously, if I had seen any of my old friends?
6042She called to her aid her religion, and without it what, indeed, must have become of her?
6042She inquired of me if my father was still writing?
6042She leaned her head forward, and in a most soft manner, said,"Miss Burney, how are you?"
6042She soon inquired what answer had arrived from Mr. Francis?
6042She spoke at once, and with infinite softness, asking me how I did after my journey?
6042Shepherd?"
6042Should I drive him from me, what would pay me, and how had he deserved it?
6042Some time after he suddenly exclaimed,"Have you-- tell me-- have you, ma''am, never done what you repent?"
6042Soon after, a voice just by my side, from the green benches, said,"Will Miss Burney allow me to renew my acquaintance with her?"
6042That''s your calculation, is it?"
6042The king asked me what had been doing at Westminster Hall?
6042The moment I joined them, Mrs. Schwellenberg called out,--"Pray, Miss Berner, for what visit you the gentlemen?"
6042Then he said he would not, and cried''Who are you?''
6042Then turning gaily to Mr. de Luc,"And you, Mr. de Luc,"he cried,"are not you, too, very glad to see Miss Beurni again?"
6042Then, turning to me,"What am I to say, ma''am?
6042There''s no such thing as pretending to measure, at such a distance as that?"
6042They all exclaimed,"Is he here?"
6042This morning, when I received my intelligence of the king from Dr. John Willis, I begged to know where I might walk in safety?
6042Thither I went, and we embraced very cordially; but she a little made me stare by saying,"Do you sleep in your old bed?"
6042Till you spoke could I know if you heeded it?"
6042True, she must die at last, but who must not?
6042Tuesday, June 19.-We were scarcely all arranged at tea when Colonel Manners eagerly said,"Pray, Mrs. Schwellenberg, have you lost anything?"
6042Upon my vord!--how come you to do dat, sir?
6042Was it not a curious scene?
6042Was it not a most singular scene?
6042Was it not a strange business?
6042Was not all the world before him?
6042Was not this agreeable?
6042We all began race talk, but Mr. Turbulent, approaching very significantly, said,"Do you want a chair On the other side, ma''am?
6042We all looked round;--but Colonel Goldsworthy broke forth aloud--"Civil, quotha?"
6042We talked all these matters over more at length, till I was called away by an"How d''ye do, Miss Burney?"
6042We then came back again to books, and he asked us if we had read a little poem called the"Shipwreck"?
6042What are you all so slow for?
6042What could I do?
6042What is the news?"
6042What say you to Mr. Turbulent now?
6042What say you to now?
6042What say you, then,"cried he,"to Pitt?"
6042What was that for me?"
6042What was the skeleton?
6042What will you give me, fair ladies, for a copy of verse, written between the Queen of Great Britain and your most small little journalist?
6042What, when it had my name upon it?
6042When he had done he looked earnestly for my answer, but finding I made none, he said, with some concern,"You wo n''t think any more of it?"
6042When he had written a few lines, he asked if I was very busy, or could help him?
6042When she was gone, he took up the book, and said,"Shall I read some passages to you?
6042When they retired, Mrs. Schwellenberg exclaimed,"For what not stay one night?
6042When they were within a few yards of me, the king called out,"Why did you run away?"
6042Where are all my rascals gone?
6042While we were examining the noble pillars in the new room, I heard an exclamation of"Est- ce possible?
6042Who could tell to what height the delirium might rise?
6042Who has liberty, le peuple, or the mob?
6042Who was so captivated as myself by that extraordinary man, till he would no longer suffer me to reverence the talents I must still ever admire?
6042Who, after that, can repine at any inconvenience here for the household?
6042Why Page 112 do you not ask me when I was at the play?
6042Why are you so cruel to all around-- to them and their readers?"
6042Why do n''t YOU give champagne to poor Stanhope?"
6042Why should he contribute his humble mite to your triumphs?
6042Why, then, how came you to receive the news about his death?"
6042Will you hear a criticism, if nothing of another sort?"
6042Will you tell me, once?"
6042Would you know what my title is derived from?
6042Yet how, at such a time, prevail by persuasion?
6042Yet nothing I could say put a stop to"How can you defend her in this?--how can you justify her in that?""
6042Yet, not having power to be very amusing after all this, I was sternly asked by Mrs. Schwellenberg,"For what I did not talk?"
6042You did not treat Colonel Goldsworthy so?"
6042You fix, then, upon''La Coquette?''
6042You know what Johnson said to Boswell of preserving fame?"
6042You know what it is to skate a man down?"
6042You may suppose I had inquiries enough, from all around, of"Who was the gentleman I was talking to at the rails?
6042You might bear it when you like it?
6042am I to tell Colonel Wellbred you hesitate?"
6042and are you not merely swayed by party?
6042and have I not a curious fellow traveller for my little journeys?
6042and how I liked the last opera?"
6042and where did you find that?"
6042and whether I was more comfortable?
6042and which way could it be worth while?
6042are they to suppose it requires deliberation whether or not you can admit a gentleman to your tea- table?"
6042are you stout?
6042as he held the door in his hand,"Will there be any-- impropriety-- in my staying here a little logger?"
6042bin you Much amused?
6042can that face ever obtain an expression that is pleasing?"
6042can you go through such scenes as these?
6042cried I, amazed and provoked;"when did I do what could never be done?"
6042cried I, as I entered it--"is this little room for your majesty?"
6042cried I;"do you ever sleep?"
6042cried he earnestly;"personally, do you know him?"
6042cried he, emphatically;"shall I be moved by a lion?
6042cried he, good- humouredly;"what need you care?
6042cried he,"clear, forcible?"
6042cried she, seriously; and then he made way, with a profound bow as she passed, saying,"Very well, ma''am,''La Coquette,''then?
6042cried she, somewhat deridingly:"know you not you might sleep here?"
6042cried they;"what part of the palace?"
6042cried- he, starting back"what am I to say that you denounce such a forfeit beforehand?"
6042d''ye hear?
6042did you observe him?
6042est- ce l`a la libert`e?"
6042exclaimed I,"the judges!--is it possible you can enter into such a notion as to suppose Mr. Hastings capable of bribing them?"
6042have you forgot Spotty?"
6042have you forgot her?"
6042have you the wardrobe to part?
6042have you-- you tired?
6042he repeated, in a tone that seemed to say-- do you not mean Mr. Burke?
6042he repeated,"what do you mean?"
6042how have you been entertained?"
6042is it you?"
6042is not here primitive candour and veracity?
6042is she alone?"
6042not a little?--not a little bit better?"
6042not the other day?"
6042nothing but that poor thing at Chelsea?
6042only You two?"
6042or have they any wish to enlarge their range of visit?
6042or what would he have called us?
6042run and see, do you hear?"
6042said Mr. Burke, dryly;"why not this coalition as well as other coalitions?"
6042shall I call him up?
6042she cried;"are you not a little better?"
6042sleeps he with you the same?"
6042that is reelly comeecal?"
6042thought I, and do you really believe all this?
6042went to Lady Charlotte?"
6042what and who are we for such resistance?
6042what are you all about?
6042what have you to do but to be happy: Page 216--have you the laces to buy?
6042what say you to that, Miss Planta?
6042when have you seen him?"
6042when is he to be married?"
6042when it might be some innocent person?
6042when you knew it was mine, sir?
6042where''s Miss Burney?"''
6042who can see him sit there unmoved?
6042why do n''t you see for my rascals?"
6042why should not you have your share?
6042why, where is my carriage?
