31394''How did you know it was the country?'' 31394 ''How should he know anything about it?''
31394''Oh,''observed Mr. Pickwick--''from your pen I hope?'' 31394 ''Shall we be justified,''asked Mr. Pickwick,''in leaving our wounded friend to the care of the ladies?''
31394''The country,''says Mr. George, applying his knife and fork,''why I suppose you never clapped your eyes on the country, Phil?'' 31394 ''What about the land?
31394''What are they talking about?'' 31394 ''What do you do there?''
31394''What marshes?'' 31394 ''What was it like?''
31394''What were the swans doing on the grass?'' 31394 ''What''s all this?''
31394''Where are they?'' 31394 ''Where of?''
31394''You admire that house?'' 31394 ''You know something about Falstaff, eh?''
31394Could it be rats, or mice, or owls? 31394 Dickens penetrates here-- where does not his genial sunshine penetrate?"
31394Did he speak?
31394Do I remember Muster Dickens?
31394How long have you lived here?
31394How long have you lived in this parish?
31394How much?
31394That ai n''t a sort of man to see sitting behind a coach- box, is it, though?
31394''Peculiar Coat,''eh?"
31394''Who ever see_ me_ beg?
31394''Who''s a beggar?''
31394''Why not?''
31394''Would you?''
31394*****"What might have been your opinion of the place?"
31394After this can you longer--?''"
31394And may I--_may_ I--?''
31394Are all people over thirty who cling to their Dickens and their Scott old fogies?
31394Are we not too much cultivated?
31394Are we wrong in preferring them to_ Bootles''Baby_, and_ The Quick or the Dead_, and the novels of M. Paul Bourget?"
31394C.''stand for?
31394Can this fastidiousness be anything but a casual passing phase of taste?
31394Could it be the wind whistling through a crack?
31394Did I tell you how many fountains we have here?
31394Did_ you_?''
31394During our visit we venture to ask the portly housekeeper if she remembers Charles Dickens?
31394Having expressed my willingness and resolution to be faithful to the trust, I said,''I presume, Mr. Dodd, you stipulate for a presentation?''
31394He looked rather surprised; and asked his solicitor, who sat by him, how they came to overlook this?
31394I ses,''who wants to be in it?
31394I thought some one had fallen on the stairs, and I shouted''Who is there?''
31394Millen said,"Will you have some, sir?"
31394Mr. Dickens jumped up quickly and said,"Never mind the breakage; is your arm hurt?"
31394Mrs. Hulkes said that when Dickens went to Paris in 1863, he jokingly said to her,"I am going to Paris; what shall I bring you?"
31394Nothing the matter, is there?''
31394Oh, my eyes and limbs, what do you want?
31394Oh, my lungs and liver, what do you want?
31394One lean- faced boatman murmured, when they were all ruminating over the bodies as they lay on the pier:''Could n''t sassages be made on it?''
31394One ventures to ask, Where is there a more chivalrous, honourable, or kind- hearted gentleman than Mr. John Jarndyce?
31394Rather masterful?
31394Seven miles out are the Goodwin Sands( you''ve heard of the Goodwin Sands?
31394So he said one day to his sons,"Why not establish a newspaper, if you want a field for your energies?"
31394Surely we have been here before?
31394The Sergeant walked straight up to Mr. Dickens, saying,"May I look at you, sir?"
31394The clerk just looked at the cheques, the signature apparently being very familiar to him, and then put the usual question--"How will you have it?"
31394The former gentleman asked the latter whose model he took?
31394The next question we put is:--"Was there ever such a person as Durdles?"
31394The old chap gave Durdles a look with his open eyes as much as to say,''Is your name Durdles?
31394The questioner says to the labourer,"Do you remember the late Charles Dickens?"
31394This''May I?''
31394Turveydrop''s?)
31394What will the public say if we allow Charles Dickens to pass away without further medical assistance?
31394What_ would_ Mr. Pickwick say, if his spirit ever visited the ancient city?
31394When Dickens went on his way, one of the man''s fellow- labourers said to him,"Do you know that that was Charles Dickens who spoke to you?"
31394When you have read the proofs, will you kindly return them to me?
31394Whether there was any facial resemblance or likeness of manner did not transpire, but again and again he kept saying,"Now ai n''t you Harry Dickens?"
31394Who were they?
31394Why do n''t you get a shovel and a barrer, and clear your town out o''people''s way?''
31394Wot does your dirty little town mean by comin''and stickin''itself in the road to anywhere?
31394meant might he shake hands?
31394said I to the very queer small boy,''where do you live?''
31394who was I,[ he says] that I should quarrel with the town for being changed to me, when I myself had come back, so changed, to it?
37121''Gratifying, Cobbs?'' 37121 ''Please may I-- please, dear pa-- may I-- kiss Norah before I go?''
37121''What may be the exact nature of your plans, sir?'' 37121 Ah, that''s well,"said Dr. Blimber, as Paul opened his eyes,"and how is my little friend now?"
37121Amen to the bells, father?
37121And how did Tim behave?
37121And the presents that I took such care of, that came at my wish, and were so dearly welcome?
37121And what can I do for you?
37121And you know what wittles is?
37121Are they pretty, Bob?
37121Are you ready to go, David?
37121Are you the boy Jo who was examined at the Inquest?
37121Been bolting his food, has he?
37121Blacksmith, eh?
37121Did the boy know the deceased?
37121Do with him?
37121Does anybody open them and shut them? 37121 Have you a friend, boy?"
37121Have you happened to miss such an article as a pie, blacksmith?
37121How dare you ask me if I knew him?
37121How''s mamma, Peggotty dear? 37121 How''s my Jenny Wren, best of children?"
37121I see, I understand,said Bertha,"and now I am looking at you, at my kind, loving compassionate father, tell me what is he like?"
37121Is he sorry not to be there now?
37121Is it very pleasant to be there, Bob?
37121Is that you, Peggotty?
37121Is your brother an agreeable man, Peggotty?
37121It''s impossible,cried Toby,"that your name is Will Fern?"
37121Jo, can you say what I say?
37121Mr. Dick,said Miss Trotwood,"what shall I do with this child?"
37121My own boy, can not you see your poor father?
37121Nor any of the people?
37121Now here you see young David Copperfield, and the question is What shall I do with him?
37121O are you quite sure and certain, Bob?
37121Oh yes; I mean, what can money do?
37121Oh, and is that your father along of your mother?
37121Oh, my eye, where am I to move to?
37121School-- near London--"When, Peggotty?
37121Sha n''t I see mamma?
37121Shall you like to be made a man of, my son?
37121Sir, I have company there,returned Riah hesitating,"but will you please come up and see them?"
37121So,said the convict, looking at Joe,"you''re the blacksmith, are you?
37121Stay, Jo-- where now?
37121Supposing a young gentleman not eight years old was to run away with a fine young woman of seven, would you consider that a queer start? 37121 Was father ever there?"
37121Well, Master Paul, how do you think you will like me?
37121What burying- ground, Jo?
37121What is going to be done with me, dear Peggotty, do you know?
37121What is money, papa?
37121What is my home like?
37121What is the idiot doing?
37121What were you up to that you did not hear me?
37121What''s the matter, constable?
37121What, you are singing, are you?
37121Where are they?
37121Where are you going?
37121Where''s your mother?
37121Which way?
37121Why, pet,said he, kissing her,"what''s- to- do?
37121Wot, about him as was dead? 37121 ''Who is this in pain?'' 37121 A millions times? 37121 Are they locked?
37121At last he exclaimed in triumph,"Why, what am I a- thinking of?
37121But people in Jo''s position in life find it hard to change a sovereign, for who will believe that they can come by it honestly?
37121Could you bring a Norfolk biffin, Cobbs?
37121David was quite anxious to go when he heard of all these delights; but his mother, what would she do all alone?
37121Did you know him?"
37121Do you stick your head out of a chimney- pot?"
37121Harry Walmers junior fatigued, sir?''
37121I know they are coming a long way off, by hearing them say,''Who is this in pain?''
37121Is she very angry with me?"
37121Is the light a- coming, sir?"
37121It''s turned very dark, sir, is there any light coming?"
37121Listen, Floy; what is it the sea keeps saying?"
37121Meg, my precious darling, where''s the kettle?
37121Of what use was a girl to Dombey& Son?
37121So comfortable was n''t it?
37121The turnkey, after watching her some time, said:--"Thinking of the fields, ai n''t you?"
37121What does the idiot mean?"
37121What if the spot awakened thoughts of death?
37121What might you please to want, sir?"
37121What place is over there, Floy?"
37121When Master Harry took her round the waist, she said he''teased her so''; and when he says,''Norah, my young May moon, your Harry tease you?''
37121Why do I like you do you think, Cobbs?
37121Will you promise to have me took there and laid along with him?"
37121Would us, Pip?"
37121You are the young lady, are you?"
37121You''re going away ai n''t you, Cobbs?
37121and says I,''Is there anything you want at present, sir?''
37121muttered the man,"then who d''ye live with-- supposin''you''re kindly let to live, which I han''t made up my mind about?"

12933How can I get in?"
12933How did she acquire this knowledge?
12933How is any education acquired if not through effort prompted by desire?
12933How?
12933I did likewise, and was greeted with a resounding smack which surprised me a bit, but I managed to ask,"Did you run away?"
12933I heard Old Walt chuckle behind me, talking incoherently to himself, and then he said,"You are wondering why I live in such a place as this?"
12933I touched my hat and said,"Ah, excuse me, Mr. Falstaff, you are the bouncer?"
12933In a voice full of defense the County Down watchman said:"Ah, now, and how did I know but that it was a forgery?

12933Proud?
12933Say, did you know him?"
12933So I put the question to him direct:"Did you see Buffalo Bill?"
12933Stubborn?
12933Then the preacher spoke and his voice was sorrowful:"Oh, but I made a botch of it-- was it sarcasm or was it not?"
12933Then what have I done concerning which the public wishes to know?
12933Then what?
12933Then why a monument to Shakespeare?
12933These things being true, and all the sentiments quoted coming from"good"but blindly zealous men, is it a wonder that the Artist is not understood?

12632You do n''t happen to have in Boston-- have you?--a copy of"Les MÃ © moires de Lally Tollendal"?
12632You know that his second wife( an excellent one) presented him lately with a little boy?
12632You remember what Mr. Hawthorne says of the appearance of his drowned heroine,--which is right?
12632You''ll excuse east- winds, wo n''t you, if they shake the flowers roughly when you first set foot on the lawn?
12632Your spear- grass is showing its points, your succulent grass its richness, even your little plant[?]
12632[ Is it lawful-- would that woman in the black gaiters, green veil, and spectacles, hold it so-- to send my love to the pretty M----?]
12632and are maturing schemes for coming here next summer?
12632and are still thinking sometimes of our Boston days, as I do?
12632and who is the author?
12632and will you see that those lodging- house people do not neglect him?
12632and will you, above all, do for him what he will not do for himself, draw upon me for what may be wanting for his needs or for his comforts?"
12632brimstone or brandy?
12632from a cousin; shall I secure this prize?
12632or a"Paettie de Shay"?
12632or shall I keep it till you come to fetch it?
12632or"Celary"?
12632or"Murange with cream"?
12632said I to the very queer small boy,''where do you live?''
12632what do I see?
12632what does this mean?
12632what''s the matter?
12632who shall lift that wand of magic power, And the lost clew regain?
25852But what has she done? 25852 Do you know what age she is?"
25852Ecco la Signora Landoro?
25852How comes this lumbering Inimitable to say this, on this Sunday night of all nights in the year?
25852Is my brother promoted?
25852Is my son wounded?
25852My love to Georges;"Has Guillaume forgotten Elise?
25852Now, Mr. Stickney, sir, what can I come for to go for to do for to bring for to fetch for to carry for you, sir?
25852Sir,said he, with the sweetest politeness,"can you speak French?"
25852Well, but why not?
25852Well, sir?
25852What''s the matter?
25852You said she was a governess, did n''t you?
258522 on Wednesday, the 20th, instead of Saturday?
2585248?
25852Ai n''t you, my lads?
25852Am I born( for the eight- and- thirtieth time) next Thursday, at half- past five, and do you mean to say you are_ not_ coming to dinner?
25852Am I right?
25852And Swig says:"Well, Mr. Febrile, have you ever acted ill?"
25852And are those damask- cheeked virgins, the Miss----, still sleeping on dewy rose leaves near the English church?
25852And as soon as you can see your day in next month for coming over with Stanny and Webster, will you let them both know?
25852And"she"is near you, is she?
25852Anger, madam?
25852Are such boys as Jo''neglected?
25852Are the birds to be trusted?
25852Are these the tones-- Volumnia Jones?
25852Are we bound to £1,800?
25852Are you all ready?
25852Are you never coming to town any more?
25852Are you never coming to town any more?
25852Are you quite sure you designed that remark for me?
25852Are you sure they are"gray- eyed"?
25852As the time approaches will you let me know your arrangements, and whether Mr. Wills can bespeak any rooms for you in arranging for me?
25852As you see them daily at the Academy, will you ask them or show them this note?
25852Ask me a question or two about fresco-- will you be so good?
25852But who are these?
25852By what fatality is it that you always ask me to dine on the wrong day?
25852CARLTON HOUSE,_ February 14th, 1842._ MY DEAR SIR, Will you come and breakfast with me on Tuesday, the 22nd, at half- past ten?
25852Ca n''t you make that holiday too?

25852Can you come if it''s fine?
25852Can you come to Miss Kelly''s by_ three_?
25852Can you engage such accommodation for me?
25852Can you think of anything merry that is better?
25852Can you?
25852Can_ that_ be the name?
25852Carve I on stones Olympia Jones?
25852Considering the improvements to be made, it is a little too much, is n''t it?
25852Could you dine with us on Sunday, at six o''clock sharp?
25852Damme!--I ast pardon-- but wo n''t your honour throw a hencoop or any old end of towline to a man as is overboard?
25852Do n''t you consider it your duty to your family to come?
25852Do n''t you observe, that the scenery not being made expressly for the room, it may be impossible to use it as you propose?
25852Do they allow you to be quiet, by- the- way?
25852Do they not say it''s very good, sir?
25852Do they not?
25852Do you care for French news?
25852Do you comprehend these stage managerial sagacities?
25852Do you feel disposed, from fact, fancy, or both, to do a good winter- hearth story of a highwayman?
25852Do you know a being endowed by nature with the requisite qualities?
25852Do you know this place?
25852Do you recollect Yarnold in"Masaniello"?
25852Do you remember one Greenhow, whom you invited to pass some days with you at the hotel on the Kaatskill Mountains?
25852Do you think I could let you hazard your life by going up any pass worth seeing in bleak March?
25852Do you think you could manage to go and return with us?
25852Do you understand?
25852Does Haldimand play whist with any science yet?
25852Does he know that an army of artificers must be turned in at once, and the whole thing finished out of hand?
25852Does it beam with friendship and affection?"
25852Droll, I fancy?
25852Else why do I read_ The Examiner_?
25852Exclamations:"How''s Henri?"
25852Finally, that---- took everybody to their carriages, and that---- wept a good deal during the festivities?
25852For am I not going to Broadstairs now, to walk about on the sea- shore( why do n''t you bring your rosy children there?)
25852Gentlemen, are you all charged?
25852Have they cut the door between the drawing- room and the study yet?
25852Have you cut down any more trees, played any more rubbers, propounded any more teasers to the players at the game of Yes and No?
25852Have you not, in the hurry of correspondence, slipped a paragraph into my letter which belongs of right to somebody else?
25852Have you tried the punch yet; if yes, did it succeed; if no, why not?
25852How am I ever to tell the cobbler?
25852How is Crab( to whom my respectful compliments)?
25852How is it that---- always do get better, and strong hearts are so easy to die?
25852How is the gray mare?
25852How is the old horse?
25852How many were there?
25852I am bidden to a wedding( where fathers are made), and my artist can not, I find( how should he?
25852I do n''t know whether you are acquainted with the coastguard and men in these parts?
25852I forgive you your reviling of me: there''s a shovelful of live coals for your head-- does it burn?
25852I hope to finish and get to town by next Wednesday night, the 19th; what do you say to coming back with me on the following Tuesday?
25852I suppose I shall see you at the water- party on Thursday?
25852I suppose it''s no worse than any other place in this weather, but it is watery rather-- isn''t it?
25852I suppose you have heard that I am going to act at the Montreal theatre with the officers?
25852I suppose you wo n''t object to be taken to hear them?
25852I trust you found it satisfactory?
25852I was so beastly dirty when I got to this house, that I had quite lost all sense of my identity, and if anybody had said,"Are you Charles Dickens?"
25852If I am right, will you look at the proof through the first third or half of the papers, and see whether the Factor comes before us in that way?
25852If so, at what hour?
25852If you are in Paris, shall I ascertain what authority I shall need from you to receive the half- year, which I suppose will be shortly due?
25852If you ca n''t, will you bring them to Tavistock House at dinner time to- morrow, half- past five?
25852If you can, can you manage so that we can take the proofs with us?
25852If you ever revise the sheets for readers, will you note in the margin the broken laughter and the appeals to the Deity?
25852If you knew the pain it gave me-- but what am I talking of?
25852Is Mrs. Cerjat as happy and as well as I would have her, and all your house ditto ditto?
25852Is he the devil?
25852Is it a loving autograph?
25852Is it heresy to say that I have seen its twin- brother shining through the window of Jack Straw''s-- that down in Devonshire I have seen a better sky?
25852Is it not extraordinary that the same dreams which have constantly visited me since poor Mary died follow me everywhere?
25852Is it not so?
25852Is it not so?
25852Is it with Man, as with some meaner things, That out of death his single purpose springs?
25852Is there any hope of your repeating your visit to these coasts?
25852It is a dreadful thing to be obliged to be false, but when anyone says,"Have you seen----?"
25852Lemon, with our loves, on her gallant victory over the recreant cabman?
25852Marquis sends message-- such a regiment, such a company--"Is my only son safe?"
25852Marquis sends message-- such a regiment, such a company--"Is my son wounded?"
25852Mr. Macready, sir, are you a father?
25852Must I come to Bonchurch?
25852My dear Mary, would you favour me with the name and address of the professor that taught you writing, for I want to improve myself?
25852Never going to drink port again, metropolitaneously, but_ always_ with Fielden?
25852Next May, or next December?
25852Not me?
25852Now could n''t you come back with me?
25852Now you do n''t like to be told that?
25852Now, do n''t you think it would do you good to come here instead?
25852Now, will you paint us a scene-- the scene of which I enclose Bulwer''s description from the prompter''s book?
25852Obscurely shall he suffer, act, and fade, Dubb''d noble only by the sexton''s spade?
25852One of them asked me only yesterday, if it would take a year to get to England in a ship?

25852PARMA, ALBERGO DELLA POSTA,_ Friday, Nov. 8th, 1844._ MY DEAREST KATE,"If missis could see us to- night, what would she say?"
25852Perhaps one of these Sundays after Easter you might not be indisposed to begin to dig us out?
25852Pray, sir(_ with constrained calmness_), what does she act?
25852Pray, sir, did you ever find me admiring Mr.----?
25852Says he,"Will you suggest that I should like it to be_ one_ of those subjects?"
25852Shall I expect you to- morrow morning?
25852Shall it be a bargain?
25852Should you like the subject when this raven makes his first appearance?
25852Suppose I were to come on the 9th or 10th of August to stay three or four days in town, would that do for you?
25852Talking of forgetting, is n''t it odd?
25852The allusion is severe, but is it just?
25852The day they landed, do you say, or the day after?
25852Then you see her, sir, sometimes?
25852Then, having bowed herself into the stage- door, she looked out of it, and said, winningly,"Wo n''t you come?"
25852Two or three?"
25852Very ignorant, is it not?"
25852We will make expeditions to Herne Bay, Canterbury, where not?
25852Were you all in Switzerland?
25852What are ragged schools, town missions, and many of those societies I regret to see sneered at in the last number of''Household Words''?"
25852What do they mean by that?
25852What do you say to Monday, the fourth, or Saturday, the second?
25852What do you say to that?
25852What do you think of doing"Animal Magnetism"as the last piece( we may play three in all, I think) at Rockingham?
25852What do you think of my suddenly finding myself a swimmer?
25852What do you think of the idea?
25852What do you think of"Animal Mag."?
25852What do you think of_ that_ for an article?
25852What have you to do with these?
25852What say you?
25852When I think it likely that I may meet you( perhaps at Ainsworth''s on Friday?)
25852When are you coming home?
25852When did you ever find me leap at wrong conclusions?
25852When do you come back?
25852When his mother came for him in the morning, he asked when it would be over?
25852When shall we meet and where?
25852When you arrange about sending your parcels, will you ascertain, and communicate to me, the prices of telegraph messages?
25852Where are you?
25852Where is it?
25852Where is the man who is to do the work?
25852Which of two other months do you think would be preferable for your Birmingham objects?
25852Which would you prefer-- that"Auld Lang Syne"should be sung after your health is given and before you return thanks, or after you have spoken?
25852Why do I send it to you?
25852Will it be at all a heavy item in the estimate?
25852Will that alteration in the usual arrangements be agreeable to Gaffin, S.?
25852Will the"Incident in the Life of Mademoiselle Clairon"go into those two pages?
25852Will you accept from me, in remembrance of it,_ this_ little book?
25852Will you appear in your celebrated character of Mr. Nightingale?
25852Will you come and paint it for us one night, and we''ll all turn to and help?
25852Will you come out of school to this breezy vacation on the same day, or rather_ this day fortnight, July 31st_?
25852Will you come round and deliver your sentiments?
25852Will you come with us from the Hanover Square Rooms?
25852Will you conceive and execute, after your own fashion, a frontispiece for"Barnaby"?
25852Will you design, upon a block of wood, Lord George Gordon, alone and very solitary, in his prison in the Tower?
25852Will you ditto upon a ditto, a sword duel between Mr. Haredale and Mr. Chester, in a grove of trees?
25852Will you get Marcus or some similar bright creature to copy out old Nightingale''s part for you, and then return the book?
25852Will you let me have a line from you in reply?
25852Will you let the Britannia[2] know of this change-- if needful?
25852Will you look carefully at all the earlier part, where the use of the past tense instead of the present a little hurts the picturesque effect?
25852Will you promise?"
25852Will you see to the invitations for Christmas Day, and write to LÃ ¦ titia?
25852Will you see to this branch of the tree among the other branches?

25852Will you think what little French piece it will be best to do, in order that I may have it ready for the bills?
25852Will you write to Ryland if you have not heard from him, and ask him what the Birmingham reading- nights are really to be?
25852Would n''t it be odd if we met upon the road between this and Boulogne to- morrow?
25852You and I in our old parts; Collins, Jeffrey; Charley, the Markis; Katey and Mary( or Georgina), the two ladies?
25852You are going to Bonchurch I suppose?
25852You know the wax brigands, and how they contemplate small oval miniatures?
25852You know, I suppose, that they elected me at the Athenà ¦ um?
25852You will not, I hope, allow that not- lucid interval of dissatisfaction with yourself( and me?
25852Your godson says is that your duty?
25852_ Has_ he a servant with a wooden leg?"
25852_ Is_ it a waistcoat?
25852_ Is_ there a deal board in Sherborne though?
25852_ You_ could do it in no time after sending in your pictures, and will you?
25852a fairy?
25852and did you tell him of another brass ventilator in the dining- room, opening into the dining- room flue?
25852game to do a Scotch housekeeper, in a supposed country- house, with Mary, Katey, Georgina, etc.?
25852of"Barnaby"and"The Curiosity Shop"heaped upon the table; and the flowers you introduced in the first subject of all withered and dead?
25852shall no scene display The tragic passion of the passing day?
25852will be there, perhaps, when this letter reaches you?
11126A doll?
11126A dull, old house,he said,"and a monotonous life, Stay with us, Trotwood, eh?"
11126Ah, but you mean here, at your own home?
11126And do you always lock the babies up when you go out?
11126And do you live here alone with these babies, Charley?
11126And do you often go out?
11126And how do you live, Charley,said my guardian,"how do you live?"
11126And is that why you would put tables and chairs upon them, and have people walking over them with heavy boots?
11126And so,said Dick,"you have run away?"
11126And then?
11126And was he saved?
11126And what do you think of Me?
11126And what have you to do with that, Jenny?
11126And your father was always kind?
11126Are there any more of you besides Charley?
11126Are you alone all day?
11126Are you always as busy as you are now?
11126Are you sure you do n''t feel ill from this long walk?
11126Are you there?
11126Are you tired?
11126Aye, aye,said Dick,"Advertising?"
11126Back in a minute? 11126 Been in front to- night?"
11126Bless my heart,cried Nicholas, struggling in the manager''s arms,"What are you about?"
11126But how was she found? 11126 But is there no more, Nell,"said the old man--"no more anywhere?
11126Call_ that_ a quantity?
11126Charley?
11126Come in, sir,said Miss Wren,"and who may you be?"
11126Complimentary?
11126Could you eat any bread and meat?
11126Dear Nelly, how? 11126 Did she though, really, Charley?"
11126Dinner- mats?
11126Do n''t any of the neighboring children--?
11126Do n''t you think me a queer little comicality?
11126Do n''t you think you''re rather hard upon him?
11126Do you live here?
11126Do you mean that he has deserted his daughter?
11126Do you mean to say you were looking through the keyhole for company?
11126Do you mean,returned the little creature with a flush suffusing her face,"bad for your backs and your legs?"
11126Do you see this?
11126Does the fancy go to my changing other objects, too, Jenny?
11126Girl number twenty,said the gentleman,"why would you carpet your room with representations of flowers?"
11126Has all my agony of care brought her to this at last? 11126 Has he gone?"
11126Have you got a fire downstairs?
11126Have you nothing to say to me?
11126Have you seen it to- day, then?
11126Here, Pretty?
11126How could it be?
11126How did you come here?
11126How do you feel when you are dead?
11126How long have you been cooling your eye there?
11126How many hours do you suppose it costs me to earn five shillings, you infamous boy? 11126 How old are you?"
11126How should I know?
11126How the trying- on?
11126How?
11126I have sent for you, sir,said Dick--"but she told you on what account?"
11126I hope it''s a good business?
11126I suppose you''re agreeable to that, old gentleman?
11126Is Charley your brother?
11126Is it funnier than Punch?
11126Is it here, ma''am?
11126Is that my brother?
11126Is this a theatre?
11126Is what here, child?
11126It theemth to prethent two things to a perthon, do n''t it?
11126Ladies''bonnets?
11126Marchioness, take a seat on the bed, will you? 11126 Marchioness,"said Mr. Swiveller,"have you seen Sally lately?"
11126Marchioness,said Mr. Swiveller,"will you have the goodness to inform me where I shall find my voice; and what has become of my flesh?"
11126Marchioness,said Richard suddenly,"What has become of Kit?"
11126May I ask how old she is?
11126Meaning him you call your father, Miss?
11126Much obliged, but what?
11126My dear, they do n''t care for you, those fellows, if you''re not hard upon''em?
11126Nonsense, uncle,cried the boy reddening again;"how can I help hearing what they tell me?"
11126Now, Gay, what is the matter?
11126Now, do you want any more?
11126Now, let me ask you, boys and girls, would you paper a room with representations of horses?
11126Now,said Mr. Swiveller,"to make it seem more real and pleasant, I shall call you the Marchioness, do you hear?"
11126O my dear father, my good, kind father, where are you gone? 11126 Oh, but please will you come and show the lodgings?"
11126Oh, please drive on, sir-- don''t stop-- and go towards the City, will you? 11126 Oh, please,"said a little voice very low down in the doorway,"will you come and show the lodgings?"
11126Oh, where are they?
11126Perhaps you would not mind walking to town with me?
11126Shall I go on, Beauty?
11126Should you like to?
11126Tell me,continued Richard,"how it was that you thought of coming here?"
11126That is to say, Miss Wren,observed the visitor, rather weary of the person of the house, and quite ready to profit by her hint,"you wish me to go?"
11126The what?
11126They give you everything that you want, I hope?
11126Think what beautiful things we have seen, and how contented we have felt, and why was this blessed change?
11126Tired? 11126 To keep''em safe, sir, do n''t you see?"
11126To make the people laugh?
11126To- night?
11126Very ill, Marchioness, have I been?
11126Was he good looking, Miss?
11126Was he saved?
11126Well, but they''ll see how small you are afterwards, wo n''t they?
11126Well, child,she said,"how do you like this way of travelling?"
11126Well, uncle, how have you got on without me all day? 11126 Were they saved?"
11126What do you mean to say you are-- the cook?
11126What do you tell me, child?
11126What do you want with me?
11126What else do I make?
11126What have they been doing?
11126What have they done with my mamma?
11126What if we are?
11126What shall be changed after him?
11126What would be the good of blowing in pepper?
11126What would become of me without her?
11126What''s the news indoors?
11126What''s the news out of doors?
11126What''s this?
11126Where are they?
11126Where are you going to seek your fortune?
11126Where is Charley now?
11126Where is he coming from, Miss?
11126Whereabouts are my clothes?
11126Whether,he said,"whether any instructor or servant can have suggested anything?
11126Which of them was dead?
11126Which way?
11126Who are they?
11126Who else is at home?
11126Who has locked you up here alone?
11126Who?
11126Why did you bring me here?
11126Why did you run away from''em?
11126Why do n''t you show''em yourself? 11126 Why has he been-- so very much-- goosed?"
11126Why not?
11126Why, bless you, child, what are you thinking of? 11126 Why, how is this?"
11126Why, who are you?
11126Will you bring him sometimes, to see his father, Tilly?
11126Will you never rest?
11126Wo n''t you come in and warm yourself, godmother?
11126Won what, ma''am?
11126Would it be any breach of confidence, Marchioness, to relate what they say of the humble individual who has now the honor to--?
11126Would that suit your case? 11126 Would you give your great- uncle Lillyvick a kiss, if he was to ask you, Morleena?"
11126You are sure?
11126You did n''t find it, then?
11126You do n''t live here alone, do you, Miss?
11126You have been walking a long way?
11126You have never been to school,I said,"have you?"
11126You hear this, girl?
11126You may, sir,replied Mr. Crummles,"She is ten years of age, sir,""Not more?"
11126You would n''t mind my cutting out something while we are at tea, would you?
11126Your daughter?
11126Your grandchild, friend?
11126_ Him_, HIM, HIM?
11126--adding breathlessly--"Why gracious me,_ where''s our house_?"
11126After that lapse of time he resumed his sitting posture, and inquired,--"And where do you live, Marchioness?"
11126An idea flashed suddenly upon her-- what if the figure should enter there, and have a design upon the old man''s life?
11126And I said,''have you hurt yourself father?''
11126And that''s how I know how, do n''t you see, sir?"
11126And the little girl I saw on that first day at Mr. Wickfield''s, where is she?
11126And to this minute you have n''t said what you''ve come for?"
11126And what comes now?
11126And would you please to shut the street door first?
11126Beckoning to her to ascend the steps, she asked,--"Are you hungry?"
11126But as you ca n''t, the question is, what is it best to do for Kit?"
11126But the child, instead of advancing, looked her earnestly in the face, and said:"What have you done with my mamma?"
11126Ca n''t you say who won the Helter- Skelter Plate when you''re asked a question civilly?"
11126Did you ever taste beer?"
11126Did you think whose it was?"
11126Do I look as if I know''d them?
11126Do n''t look round--"Florence had hardly power to repeat,"Why not?"
11126Do n''t they, Tom?"
11126Do n''t you, Tom?"
11126Do you ever see horses walking up and down the sides of rooms in reality-- in fact?
11126Do you want a good situation for your granddaughter, master?
11126Do you-- do you know them, ma''am?"
11126Does this caravan look as if it know''d''em?"
11126He doctors sick horses, I dare say?"
11126He was your nat''r''l born friend like, wa''n''t he, Pet?
11126His face brightened as he shook hands with uncle and nephew; but he seemed to be of a laconic disposition, and merely said:"How goes it?"
11126How could such a collection be here?
11126How was my daughter found, sir?
11126I say, uncle, is n''t this an adventure?"
11126I understand you have been in the habit of reading to your father, and what did you read to him, Jupe?"
11126If you would n''t mind walking in, sir?
11126Is Walter''s uncle here?"
11126Is dinner ready?
11126Is it you?
11126Is n''t this a prosperous nation, and a''n''t you in a thriving state?
11126Is n''t this a prosperous nation?
11126It was here that Susan Nipper found her, and said would she go downstairs to her papa, who wished to speak to her?
11126Miss Florence has just come home, has n''t she?"
11126Mr. Brass is of the same opinion, I suppose?"
11126Not pretty, is it?"
11126Now, what is to be done?"
11126Now, wo n''t you help this poor girl, Mr. Johnson, by calling with her to- morrow morning upon one or two of the principal people?"
11126Of what?"
11126Oh, what_ shall_ I do?"
11126On the following morning, Mr. Short asked Nell,"And where are you going to- day?"
11126Please, may I look at it?"
11126She beckoned the Jew towards her, and whispered:"Child or woman?"
11126She thought upon the way down, would she dare to kiss him?
11126Sloppy could n''t make it out;"with, who did you say, Miss?"
11126The Baron Sampsono Brasso and his fair sister are, you tell me, at the Play?"
11126Then she asked:"Did your father know so much himself, that he wished you to be well taught too?"
11126There''th nothing comfortable to tell; why unthettle her mind, and make her unhappy?
11126This child,"he added after a few moments,"Could she possibly continue this?"
11126To which the only reply was,"Oh, please, will you come and show the lodgings?"
11126Upon perceiving the invalid to be awake, Mr. Garland stretched out his hand, and inquired how Mr. Swiveller felt; adding"And what can we do for you?"
11126Was I a happy man once, and have I lost happiness and all I had, for this?"
11126Was Mr. Dombey pleased to see this?
11126Was it all taken-- was there nothing left?"
11126Was one?"
11126Well, is it good?"
11126What do I make with my straw?"
11126What do you mean by it?"
11126What do you mean, boy?"
11126What do you say to the rest of it?"
11126What do you say?"
11126What else do I make?"
11126What have you got in that bottle you are carrying?"
11126What is the percentage?
11126What is your father?"
11126What is your remark on that proportion?
11126What other changes have come upon me, beside the changes in my growth and looks, and in the knowledge I have garnered all this while?
11126What shall I do to save him?"
11126What sight was that which met her view?
11126What was that you told me before we left the old house?--that if they knew what we were going to do, they would say that you were mad, and part us?"
11126What''s your name?"
11126When is he coming, Miss?"
11126When should I ever tire of her?
11126Where are they?"
11126Where were the traces of her early cares, her sufferings, and fatigues?
11126Where would have been my duty to my poor lost boy, if I had not tried everything?"
11126Whether, in spite of all precautions, any idle story- book can have got into the house for Louisa or Thomas to read?
11126Who could have taken it but Kit?
11126Who found her?"
11126Who is that girl?"
11126Who knows but they shone as brightly in the eyes of angels as golden gifts that have been chronicled on tombs?
11126Who knows?
11126Why did you force me to leave it?"
11126Why would n''t you?"
11126Why, I know of fifteen- and- sixpence that came to Southampton last month to see me dance the Highland Fling, and what''s the consequence?
11126Why, how old are you?"
11126Will you let me try to mend it for you?
11126Would you not be always in pain then?"
11126Would you use a carpet having a representation of flowers upon it?"
11126Would you, deary?"
11126Yet, what was to be done?
11126You have been in the habit now of reading to your father, and those people I found you among, I dare say?"
11126You have n''t got needle and thread, I suppose?"
11126Your father breaks horses, do n''t he?"
11126_ I_ done?
11126and wo n''t your pa be angry neither?"
11126asked Charley Hexam, staring?
11126asked Dick,"His mother, what has become of her?"
11126cried Mr. Dombey,"What does she mean,--what is this?"
11126cried the lady of the caravan,"Yes, to be sure-- Who won the Helter- Skelter Plate?"
11126distracted by such terrors?
11126inquired her mistress, drying her eyes;"when I ca n''t live here, and have gone to my old home?"
11126said Dick, taking down his hat"Yes?
11126said Mr. Abel, kindly,"You have been ill?"
11126said Mr. Gradgrind, leading each away by a hand;"what do you do here?"
11126said Nicholas;"a family, I suppose?"
11126said the boy,"What are you about?
11126what are you up to, my dear?"
11126what is this?"
11227A new one?
11227Ai n''t it, Nickleby?
11227All of''em, ma''am?
11227Am I to come again, Miss Havisham?
11227And how did little Tim behave?
11227And what are you thinking about me?
11227And what does the boy say?
11227And what have you got, my dear?
11227And where is my old nurse?
11227And where the deuce ha''you been?
11227And which?
11227And who is this? 11227 And you''ll try and learn a great deal here and be a clever man,"said Mr. Dombey;"wo n''t you?"
11227Anything else?
11227Anything, papa?
11227Are you ready to go, David?
11227Are you ready to play?
11227Are you sure?
11227At any particular time, Miss Havisham?
11227At which he takes aim?
11227Aye, aye, aye? 11227 But at least there was dogs, Pip?
11227But come,said Squeers,"let''s go to the schoolroom; and lend me a hand with my school- coat, will you?"
11227But not all of it? 11227 But what is the matter, Floy?"
11227But what''s this?
11227But where?
11227Ca n''t you, indeed, David?
11227Can this be possible, uncle?
11227Cruel?
11227David,he said, making his lips thin, by pressing them together,"if I have an obstinate horse or dog to deal with, what do you think I do?"
11227Dead, miss? 11227 Dead?"
11227Did I ever see any kind face like mama''s looking at me when I was a baby, Floy?
11227Did you see any of these pretty things, my dear?
11227Did you tell me just now, that your master had n''t gone out to- night?
11227Do you hear, Paul?
11227Do you hear?
11227Do you know this thing, this child?
11227Do you know what I touch here?
11227Do you live in London?
11227Do you see that old cove at the book- stall?
11227Dog,said he,"What dog?"
11227Driven to do it, were you?
11227Eh?
11227Floy, did I ever see mama?
11227Floy,he said,"what is that?"
11227For what?
11227Give me my box and money, will you?
11227Going to London?
11227Got any lodgings?
11227Has he robbed you?
11227Have you anything to say?
11227Have you happened to miss such an article as a pie, blacksmith?
11227Have you-- did anybody-- has nothing been heard-- about me?
11227He still keeps behind us,repeats Jasper, looking back,"is he to follow us?"
11227How came you here?
11227How came you to think of him?
11227How much of your Latin Grammar do you know, Dombey?
11227Hurrah?
11227I dare not; and even if I might, what good would a kind word do you, Kit? 11227 I hope, Mr. Dombey,"said the doctor laying down his book,"that the arrangements meet with your approval?"
11227I mean, papa, what can it do?
11227I suppose you want some place to sleep in to- night, do n''t you?
11227I suppose you''re Christopher, sir?
11227I think it was Kit who said I was an uglier dwarf than could be seen anywhere for a penny, was n''t it? 11227 I think they must certainly come to- morrow, eh, mother?"
11227If the bull was mad,said Paul,"how did he know that the boy had asked questions?
11227In the hat?
11227Is he to follow us?
11227Is he worse?
11227Is it gone?
11227Is it much farther to Dotheboys Hall, sir?
11227Is my handkerchief hanging out of my pocket, my dear?
11227Is she dead, too? 11227 Is that its-- his-- name?"
11227Is that the reason why Miss Murdstone took the clothes out of my drawers?
11227Is your brother an agreeable man, Peggotty?
11227It ca n''t make me strong and quite well, either, papa; can it?
11227It is n''t cruel, is it?
11227Jo, can you say what I say?
11227Jo?
11227Just fill that mug up with lukewarm water, William, will you?
11227Large or small?
11227Let go of Who is it? 11227 Lined?"
11227May I-- may I go with you?
11227Money?
11227My mistress?
11227No consequence? 11227 No, darling; why?"
11227Noodle,said my sister,"who said she knew him?
11227Not coming?
11227Not good- bye?
11227Not if it should happen to have been a tame bull, you little infidel?
11227Not polite?
11227Not so much as one short prayer?
11227Now, Dombey, how have you got on with those books?
11227Now, boy,he said,"what was Miss Havisham a- doing of when you went in to- day?"
11227Nurse me?
11227Oh, it''s you, is it?
11227Oh, that''s the milk and water, is it, William?
11227Pip?
11227Remain quietly here until such a document is drawn up, and proceed with me to such a place as I may deem advisable, to attest it?
11227Sha n''t I see mama?
11227Shall I go away, aunt?
11227Shall we make a man of him?
11227So,said my convict, looking at Joe,"so you''re the blacksmith, are you?
11227Stay, Jo, what now?
11227Taken away?--In the night?
11227Tar?
11227That ship- looking thing?
11227That''s not it?
11227The old gentleman over the way?
11227Then what did you say''nothing''for, sir?
11227This is twopenn''orth of milk, is it waiter?
11227To the wery top, sir?
11227WHICH ART IN HEAVEN,"Art in Heaven-- is the light a- coming, sir?
11227Was anybody else there?
11227We do n''t know what you''ve done, but we would n''t have you starve to death for it, poor miserable fellow- creature, would we, Pip?
11227Weel then, dinnot stop,replied John;"who waants thee to stop?
11227Well, Jo, what is the matter? 11227 Well, boy,"said Mr. Witherden,"you came to work out that shilling,--not to get another, hey?"
11227Well,said Mr. Jaggers,"what if I were to make you a present as compensation?"
11227Well,said the Jew,"I hope you''ve been at work this morning, my dears?"
11227What are you a- telling of, Pip?
11227What are you bothering about there, Smike?
11227What are you doing to the man?
11227What can the boy mean?
11227What do I touch?
11227What do you want with her, boy?
11227What do you watch me for? 11227 What does that mean?"
11227What has ever got your precious father, then?
11227What has he done?
11227What has the man done to you?
11227What have I done?
11227What have you done?
11227What have_ you_ got, Dodger?
11227What is going to be done with me, Peggotty dear?
11227What is money, Paul?
11227What is money?
11227What is that to you?
11227What of that? 11227 What''ll Fagin say?"
11227What''s that, sir?
11227What''s that?
11227What''s that?
11227What''s that?
11227What''s the matter?
11227What''s the matter?
11227What''s to do here, thou yoong dogs?
11227What?
11227When did he come from London?
11227When shall I have you here again?
11227When, Peggotty?
11227Where can I possibly move to more nor I do?
11227Where did you get swords from?
11227Where have you been, you young monkey?
11227Where to, sir?
11227Where was this coach, in the name of gracious?
11227Where, dearest?
11227Where?
11227Who cried stop?
11227Who gave you leave to prowl about? 11227 Who has ill- used him, you girl?"
11227Who is it?
11227Who took you away?
11227Who''s firing?
11227Who''s your tailor?
11227Whom are you talking to?
11227Whose, Floy?
11227Why did n''t money save me my mama?
11227Why do you kneel to me?
11227Why have you come here now?
11227Why how ever could tar come there?
11227Why not?
11227Why not?
11227Why will it never stop, Floy?
11227Why, Peggotty,I said, ruefully,"is n''t she come home?"
11227Why, bless my heart,says Mr. Snagsby,"what''s the matter?"
11227Why, what had you been doing?
11227Why, where''s our Martha?
11227Why?
11227Will you set your hand to a statement of truth and facts, and repeat it before witnesses?
11227You are as strong and well as such little people usually are? 11227 You are not afraid of a woman who has not seen the sun since you were born?"
11227You do n''t believe it, sir?
11227You do n''t believe that I did what they accuse me of, mother, dear?
11227You remember all that about Miss Havisham''s?
11227You were not awake an hour ago?
11227You''d like to be able to make pocket- handkerchiefs as easy as Charley Bates, would n''t you, my dear?
11227Your father''s regularly rich, ai n''t he?
11227A man may call his house an island if he likes; there''s no act of Parliament against that, I believe?"
11227Am I, sir?"
11227An''t I unfortnet enough for you yet?
11227And could n''t Uncle Pumblechook, being always thoughtful for us, then mention this boy, that I have forever been a willing slave to?"
11227And please what''s Hulks?"
11227Are you ready?"
11227As to his situation-- which was a precious one, was n''t it?--do you suppose I am not going to write home and take care that he gets some money?"
11227But what did he do with you?"
11227But why not have brought him?"
11227But will you promise to have me took there, sir, and laid along with him?"
11227Ca n''t you never let such an unfortnet as me alone?
11227Come, Pip, if there warn''t no weal cutlets, at least there was dogs?
11227Could n''t she ask Uncle Pumblechook if he knew of a boy to go and play there?
11227Davy boy, how do you do?"
11227Did she hear them?
11227Do n''t you know me?"
11227Do n''t you know, Pip?"
11227Do you know it?
11227Do you think I have grown old- fashioned?"
11227Eh?"
11227Finally, I rose, and with a fast- beating heart said,"Steerforth, wo n''t you speak to me?"
11227Floy are we all dead except you?"
11227Hark, what''s that?"
11227Have you been here ever since?"
11227He produced a purse and counted out the money, then eyeing Joe, he said,"Well, Joe Gargery, you look dumbfounded?"
11227He says to the woman,"What has he done?"
11227He was gobbling mincemeat, meat- bone, bread, cheese, and pork pie all at once, when he turned suddenly and said:"You''re not a deceiving imp?
11227How can you do it to me, boys?"
11227How could my character fail to be influenced by such surroundings?
11227How dare you trespass?
11227How do you do, my little friend?"
11227How is my little friend now?"
11227How unfortnet do you want me for to be?
11227However, I got dressed, and I said,"Can I help you?"
11227I mean what is money after all?"
11227I waited a while, and then as a last resort, I said,--"Mrs. Joe, I should like to know-- if you would n''t much mind-- where the firing comes from?"
11227I was flushed with her summary of delights, and replied that it would indeed be a treat, but what would my mother say?
11227I was passing out without looking at her, when she touched me with a taunting cry,----"Why do n''t you cry?"
11227Is he here?"
11227Is he ready to go?
11227Is it to be wondered at if my thoughts were dazed, as my eyes were, when I came out into the natural light from the misty yellow rooms?
11227Is she come?"
11227Is there any light a- coming?"
11227Is this my old nurse?"
11227It was n''t your fault; it was mine, I suppose-- eh?"
11227It''s a pretty sort of thing that I should have to feed a great fellow like you, and never hope to get one penny for it, is n''t it?"
11227Jo, is it thou?
11227Likewise when they says,''What''s your religion?''
11227Mother and I have got a poor one, and why not come there, till he''s had time to look about and find a better?
11227Mrs. Squeers, my dear, will you take the money?"
11227My dear, do you see?"
11227My hearers stared at one another-- as they well might-- and repeated,"In a black velvet coach?"
11227Nickleby?"
11227Now what do you say?"
11227Now, Dombey,"said Miss Blimber, laying down the paper,"do you understand?
11227Now, then, where''s the first boy?"
11227Oh, Kit, what_ have_ you done?
11227On one of these occasions, when they had both been perfectly quiet for a long time, little Paul broke the silence thus:"Papa, what''s money?"
11227Paul looked it in the face and thought, was this his father?
11227Presently a window was raised and a voice asked"What name?"
11227Robbed me?
11227Says the coroner,"Is that boy here?"
11227Shall I carry your bundle?"
11227Shall us, Oliver, eh?"
11227She looked searchingly at me and then asked,"If you are unwilling to play, boy, are you willing to work?"
11227Spell it?
11227The child made no audible answer, and Doctor Blimber continued,"You would wish my little friend to acquire----?"
11227The crafty dwarf stopped short in his answer, and said,----"Now, who do you think?"
11227Then she spoke,"Who is it?"
11227There are a good many of''em, ai n''t there?
11227They surely could n''t stop away more than a week, could they now?"
11227Third boy, what''s a horse?"
11227This I denied in the face of Joe''s most forcible arguments, and at the end of our talk, I said,"You are not angry with me, Joe?"
11227This early trial of yours that is fit to make your little heart burst, and your very eyes come out of your head with crying, what is it?
11227Was she glad to know it?
11227Weak still, and stupified by the suddenness of the attack, overpowered and helpless, what could one poor child do?
11227Well, boy, and what did you play at?"
11227Well, well?
11227What are you stopping me for?"
11227What could I do but follow him?
11227What did he earn by it?
11227What do you think of her?"
11227What have I done to her?
11227What have you seen?
11227What is that upon your face?"
11227What is the matter?"
11227What possessed you?"
11227What was he before?
11227What work did he do?
11227What''s home?
11227What''s that?"
11227What''s the row?"
11227What''s the row?"
11227When he had finished, she turned to Miss Murdstone, and said:"Well, ma''am, have_ you_ got anything to remark?"
11227When they says to me in the Lockup,''What''s your name?''
11227Where do you expect to go to?
11227Where had poor Jo moved on to now?
11227Where have you been, this long, long while?"
11227Where is papa?"
11227Where''s the second boy?"
11227Where, you know?"
11227Which is the man?"
11227Who is the monster, child?"
11227Who stood on the bank?
11227Why are you awake?
11227Why was the child thus carried?
11227Why, sure you do n''t mean to say, Pip, that there was no black welvet co- ch?"
11227Will you hold that noise, sir?"
11227Will you only promise that, Miss Nell?"
11227Will you try him, Miss Nell?
11227Woodcot?"
11227Would Gargery come here with you, and bring your indentures, do you think?"
11227Would he believe now that I had betrayed him?
11227Would n''t_ that_ be a treat?"
11227Would she ever forget it?
11227Would you?"
11227You brought no one with you?"
11227You could n''t expect that, could you, ma''am?"
11227You hear?"
11227You know what they are?"
11227You may have heard of the counting house of Murdstone and Grinby, in the wine trade?
11227You ordered that thick bread and butter for three, did you?"
11227You ungrateful wretch, do you know that this is all along of her goodness to you?"
11227You will come back quietly, I hope?"
11227You''re in a hurry?"
11227are you a perfect fool?"
11227cried Mrs. Squeers;"let the things alone, ca n''t you?"
11227cried Nicholas,"can this be some lingering creation of the visions that have scarcely left me?
11227cried Squeers, poking his head out at the front door,"Where are you, Nickleby?"
11227eh, my dear?
11227he answered,"Money?"
11227repeats Allan, looking at him with attention,--"Jo?
11227retorted Mrs. Squeers sharply,"is n''t it brimstone morning?"
11227retorted the old man, desperately,"that, notwithstanding all my caution, told you?
11227said he;"young fellow, who let you in?"
11227she asked, stamping her foot;"Tell me directly what you''ve been doing to wear me away with fret and fright and worrit?"
11227sneezed, did you?"
11227that''s all, is it?"
11227then she asked, with greatest disdain,"What do you play, boy?"
37284A bad son, I am afraid?
37284Ai n''t there really, though?
37284All of''em, ma''am?
37284And did none of them ever die?
37284And did none of them ever grow older?
37284And did the money never melt away?
37284And do you always lock the babies up when you go out?
37284And do you live alone here with these babies, Charley?
37284And do you often go out?
37284And do you suppose_ he_ minds such things as crocuses?
37284And have the children looked after themselves at all, sir?
37284And how do you do, sir?
37284And how do you live, Charley? 37284 And is that why you would put tables and chairs upon them, and have people walking over them with heavy boots?"
37284And please, what''s hulks?
37284And so, Phil,says George of the Shooting Gallery, after several turns in silence,"you were dreaming of the country last night?"
37284And what are you thinking about me?
37284And what,asked Mr. Gradgrind in a still lower voice,"did you read to your father, Jupe?"
37284And when did mother die? 37284 And which is Oliver?"
37284And yet,said Mr. Dombey,"you are two or three and thirty, I suppose?"
37284And you''ll soon be grown up now?
37284Are you there?
37284Art in Heaven-- is the light a- comin'', sir?
37284But can you, oh, can you really believe that this delicate boy has been the voluntary associate of the worst outcasts of society?
37284But what makes you say this along of Rob, father?
37284But you''re coming back to speak to me, when you have seen the gentleman away?
37284But-- but do you think it did Edward good?
37284Can you read?
37284Come in,he said,"come in; what is the child afraid of?"
37284Corporal punishment dispensed with?
37284David,he said, making his lips thin, by pressing them together,"if I have an obstinate horse or dog to deal with, what do you think I do?"
37284Do n''t know?
37284Do you hear, Paul?
37284Do you hear?
37284Do you know who I am?
37284Do you mean pretending to go there, and not going?
37284Do you remember when he did this?
37284Do you remember when in his inheritance of your nature, and in your pampering of his pride and passion, he did this, and disfigured me for life? 37284 Do you see this?"
37284Do you think it did Edward harm, Clara?
37284Driven to do it, were you?
37284Eh?
37284Excepting what?
37284Father-- when''s he coming home?
37284Formed his daughter on his own model?
37284Given to government, Joe?
37284Had n''t he better let it go?
37284Have you anything to say?
37284Have you as many as eight vacancies?
37284Have you nothing to say to me?
37284Have you-- did anybody-- has nothing been heard-- about me?
37284He ai n''t got to be at all secretlike-- has he, Polly?
37284He did n''t take any notice of you, I suppose?
37284He is a nice- looking boy, is he not?
37284His daughter? 37284 How can you ask such things, sir?
37284How could you give me life, and take from me all the inappreciable things that raise it from the state of conscious death? 37284 How did you know it was the country?"
37284How old are you, Phil?
37284How old are you?
37284I suppose,said Mr. Toodle, relishing his meal infinitely,"as our Biler is a- doin''now about as well as a boy_ can_ do, eh, Polly?"
37284I surprise you, sir?
37284I wonder who''s put into prison ships, and why they''re put there?
37284If the bull was mad,said Paul,"how did he know that the boy had asked questions?
37284In numbers, how many?
37284Is every boy here?
37284Is he, indeed?
37284Is yours a strong constitution?
37284It sounds unnatural, do n''t it?
37284Jo, can you say what I say?
37284Just fill that mug up with lukewarm water, William, will you?
37284Master Briggs?
37284Miss Dartle,said I,"if you can be so obdurate as not to feel for this afflicted mother----""Who feels for me?"
37284Mrs. Joe,said I, as a last resort,"I should like to know-- if you would n''t much mind-- where the firing comes from?"
37284My dear Steerforth, what is the matter?
37284My dear love,said the elder lady, as she folded the weeping girl to her bosom,"do you think I would harm a hair of his head?"
37284Not if it should happen to have been a tame bull, you little infidel?
37284Not polite?
37284Not so much as one short prayer?
37284Nothing, I suppose?
37284Nothing, sir?
37284Now, Dombey,said Miss Blimber,"how have you got on with those books?"
37284Now, Marigold, tell me what more do you want your adopted daughter to know?
37284Now, do you want any more?
37284Shall we make a man of him?
37284Shall we make a man of him?
37284So long as that?
37284So you would carpet your room-- or your husband''s room, if you were a grown woman and had a husband-- with representations of flowers, would you? 37284 That is to say,"said Arthur, with a growing admiration of his quiet companion,"you are not fully discouraged even now?"
37284The country,says Mr. George, plying his knife and fork;"why, I suppose you never clapped your eyes on the country, Phil?"
37284The town''s enough for you, eh?
37284Then what did you say''nothing''for, sir?
37284Then why do n''t you learn?
37284Then why do n''t you let me have some money of my own?
37284Then why do n''t you shut him up? 37284 There''s no harm in that, I hope?"
37284They? 37284 This fellow,"said Mr. Carker to Polly, giving him a gentle shake,"is your son, eh, ma''am?"
37284This is most extraordinary,says the gentleman;"is it possible that you have been her only teacher?"
37284This is two penn''orth of milk, is it, waiter?
37284Tired? 37284 To keep''em safe, sir, do n''t you see?"
37284To the wery top, sir?
37284To whom, then?
37284Trouble?
37284Vice,sighed the surgeon, replacing the curtain,"takes up her abode in many temples; and who can say that a fair outside shall not enshrine her?"
37284Was you, indeed, commander?
37284What am I like, Mr. Young Jackson?
37284What am I like, Mr. Young Jackson?
37284What am I like, Young Jackson?
37284What are you bothering about there, Smike?
37284What are you crying for?
37284What can this mean?
37284What do I remember if not you? 37284 What do you mean by we?"
37284What do you see in it?
37284What does that mean?
37284What is that?
37284What is the matter? 37284 What it was like?"
37284What marshes?
37284What was it like?
37284What were the swans doing on the grass?
37284What would you ride, sir? 37284 What''s gone of your father and your mother, eh?"
37284What''s that, sir?
37284What''s that, sir?
37284What''s that?
37284What''s the report of this boy?
37284What''s your name, boy?
37284What?
37284What_ have_ I done?
37284Where are they?
37284Where do you live?
37284Who cried stop?
37284Who said that?
37284Who''s firing?
37284Why do n''t you want to see him, then?
37284Why not?
37284Why that''s the proper time for me to talk, is n''t it?
37284Why?
37284Why?
37284With anything?
37284With chalk, sir?
37284With some money, of course?
37284Wondering again?
37284Would you have doomed me, at any time, to the frost and blight that have hardened and spoiled me? 37284 Write?"
37284You do n''t believe it, sir?
37284You have a bad father, have you?
37284You have a son, I believe?
37284You know you''ve got no father or mother, and that you were brought up by the parish, do n''t you?
37284You remember Me, Mr. Young Jackson?
37284You remember me, Mr. Young Jackson?
37284You remember me, Young Jackson?
37284You see that fellow? 37284 You sleep in my room, do n''t you?"
37284You''re the waxwork child, are you not?
37284*****"Berry''s very fond of you, ai n''t she?"
37284A wild ass or zebra would be too tame for you, would n''t he, eh, sir?
37284An''t my place dirty?
37284And that''s how I know how; do n''t you see, sir?"
37284And what did it matter?
37284And what do you mean by pulling up the crocuses and snowdrops, eh, sir?"
37284And when I says to the Major,"Major, ca n''t you by_ any_ means give us a communication with the guard?"
37284Are they obliged to sit mumchance, and to be ordered about till they are the laughingstock of young and old?
37284Are you going to kill the wintner, sir?"
37284Are you ready?"
37284Are you rewarded,_ now_, for your years of trouble?"
37284Bishop said, dubiously, did he really think so?
37284But have you been very dutiful to me?"
37284But what about the hundreds of thousands of minds that have been deformed forever by the incapable pettifoggers who have pretended to form them?
37284But what is a man to do?
37284But why was Miss Monflathers always vexed and irritated with the poor apprentice-- how did that come to pass?
37284But will you promise to have me took there, sir, and laid along with him?"
37284Charley,"said my guardian, turning his face away for a moment,"how do you live?"
37284Come back harder?
37284David said:"It is laborious, is it not?"
37284Dickens makes the artist in Somebody''s Luggage say:"Who are you passing every day at your competitive excruciations?
37284Did Louisa see these things of herself?
37284Did it bite, hey?
37284Did it bite?
37284Did you ever know a prayer?"
37284Do I understand that he asked for more, after he had eaten the supper allotted by the dietary?"
37284Do n''t they, Tom?"
37284Do n''t you know that the harder you are at work, the happier you are?"
37284Do you ever see horses walking up and down the sides of rooms in reality-- in fact?
37284Do you mind?"
37284Do you want to see the country, Phil?"
37284Do you?"
37284Dombey?"
37284Every teacher should ask himself every day,"Am I a child- queller?"
37284Had it a deep prong, hey?
37284Have they no liberty, no will, no right to speak?
37284He doctors sick horses, I dare say?"
37284He then showed me the cane, and asked me what I thought of_ that_, for a tooth?
37284Hey?
37284Hey?"
37284Hey?"
37284Hey?"
37284Hey?"
37284How can you ask?"
37284How could he?
37284How did I know it?
37284How do you communicate with her?"
37284How do you like it, and what do you think of gin, instead?
37284How much those benighted teachers who so tragically ask"What_ can_ you do with bad boys, if you do_ not_ use corporal punishment?"
37284How old should you think my father was, cousin?"
37284How would he do it?
37284I am a very little boy, sir; and it is so-- so----""So what?"
37284I began it, when I was but a child, because it brought me and other children into company, do n''t you see?
37284I believe young people are quick enough to observe and imitate; and why or how should they respect whom no one else respects, and everybody slights?
37284I know what you''re a- going to say, Pip?
37284I understand you to have been in the habit of reading to your father?"
37284I wonder where they_ do_ go, by the bye?
37284Inspired?
37284Is my daughter a- washin''?
37284Is there any light a- comin''?"
37284Jellyby''s?"
37284Joey asked, when Mr. Wilding unfolded his plan:"Is all to live in the house, Young Master Wilding?
37284Like a sort of rebel, do n''t you see?"
37284Look at your boy: he is yourn, ai n''t he?
37284Louisa sat looking at the fire so long that Tom asked,"Have you gone to sleep, Loo?"
37284My childhood had no grace of childhood, my youth had no charm of youth, and what can be expected from such a lost beginning?"
37284My misfortunes all began in wagging, sir, but what could I do, exceptin''wag?"
37284Nickleby?"
37284No?
37284Now let me ask you girls and boys, would you paper a room with representations of horses?"
37284Of what?"
37284On leaving, Mr. Dombey said to Paul:"You''ll try and learn a great deal here, and be a clever man, wo n''t you?"
37284One day he said to them:"Why are you not interested here?
37284People that met us might stare a bit and laugh, but what did_ I_ care if she caught the idea?
37284Perhaps your overhearing my little scholars sing some of their lessons has led you so far astray as to think me a good teacher?
37284Redlaw, in The Haunted Man, said to the poor boy who came to his room:"What is your name?"
37284Rosa Dartle asked Steerforth about"That sort of people-- are they really animals and clods, and beings of another order?
37284Shall I tell you what I consider those eyes of hers that were here just now, to have always looked at, to get that expression?
37284Spell it?
37284The fortunate candidates whose heads and livers you have turned upside down for life?
37284The happiness of the little"minders"at old Betty Higden''s is in sharp contrast to the misery of the boarders of the respectable(?)
37284The two other cellarmen, the three porters, the two''prentices, and the odd men?"
37284Thee wish to be made acquainted with the cage, dost thee-- the cage, the stocks, and the whipping post?
37284They used to say to one another, sometimes, Supposing all the children upon earth were to die, would the flowers, and the water, and the sky be sorry?
37284This early trial of yours, that is fit to make your little heart burst and your very eyes come out of your head with crying, what is it?
37284Was Dickens consciously and intentionally an educator?
37284Was it a double tooth, hey?
37284Was it a sharp tooth, hey?
37284What burying- ground, Jo?"
37284What can I do to save him, sir?"
37284What can you possibly want to know of circuses then?
37284What childhood did you ever leave to me?
37284What could a boy do but hate him?
37284What do you mean, boy?"
37284What does she make a sham for, and pretend to give me money, and take it away again?
37284What else did you expect?"
37284What escape have I had from problems that could be demonstrated, and realities that could be grasped?"
37284What have paupers to do with soul or spirit?
37284What have you done, O father, what have you done, with the garden that should have bloomed once, in this great wilderness here?"
37284What is it?
37284What is your father?"
37284What more natural or more logical than the practice of checking the outflow of a child''s inner life if we believe his inner life to be depraved?
37284What now?"
37284What''s amiss, old boy?
37284What''s come of all the boys?
37284What''s home?
37284What''s that?"
37284What_ could_ the boy be crying for?
37284When Edith upbraided her mother for practically compelling her to marry Mr. Dombey, her mother asked angrily:"What do you mean?
37284When Guster, Mr. Snagsby''s servant, got him some food, she said:"Are you hungry?"
37284When Lady Dedlock met Jo, she asked him:"Are you the boy I''ve read of in the papers?"
37284When were travellers by wheels and hoofs seen with such red- hot cheeks as those?
37284Where are the graces of my soul?
37284Where are the sentiments of my heart?
37284Where dost come from?"
37284Where''s his religion, I should like to know, when he goes flying in the face of the Bible like that?
37284Who are you?
37284Who does not know what must be the central point of all the happiness of such a child?
37284Who is that girl?"
37284Who would exchange this rapid hurry of the blood for yonder stagnant misery, though its pace were twenty miles for one?
37284Why are you fond of your sister Florence?"
37284Why do you call it_ my_ allowance, and never let me spend it?"
37284Why do you use me like this?
37284Why would n''t you?"
37284Why would you?"
37284Will you hold that noise, sir?"
37284Will, purpose, hope?
37284Would you like to feel it?
37284Would you use a carpet having a representation of flowers upon it?"
37284You do n''t mind sleeping among the coffins, I suppose?
37284You have been in the habit of reading to your father and those people I found you among, I dare say?"
37284You have found it out at last, have you?
37284You know you''re an orphan, I suppose?"
37284You ordered that thick bread and butter for three, did you?"
37284You remember?"
37284You''d like to ride a roaring lion, would n''t you, sir, eh, sir?
37284Your father breaks horses, do n''t he?"
37284echoed my sister,"trouble?"
37284he said to Mr. Dombey;"and how is my little friend?"
37284it was n''t your fault; it was mine, I suppose-- eh?"
37284it''s you, is it?"
37284retorted Joe sorrowfully;"why do n''t you, father?
37284said Edith, looking at her;"when was I a child?
37284said Mr. Gradgrind, leading each away by a hand;"what do you do here?"
37284sneezed, did you?"
37284that''s all, is it?"
37284that''s the milk and water, is it, William?"
37284the Major says, quite huffy,"No, madam, it''s not to be done"; and when I says,"Why not?"
37284what does it all mean?"
37284what''s parents got in their heads?
37284when were they so good- humouredly and merrily bloused?
37284where''s ma''s duty as a parent?"
25851''Are you in Mr. Sweedlepipes''s line, sir?'' 25851 ''Do you mean that_ he_ must be put in the ground before any good comes of_ him_?''
25851''Natural?'' 25851 ''Or,''pursued Poker, in a kind of despondent rapture,''or if I was to deny that I came to this town to see and hear you sir, what would it avail me?
25851''Possible?'' 25851 ''Wa''at mad''Thompson think it was goot?''
25851''What George, sir? 25851 ''What do you do there?''
25851''Which is that, ma''am?'' 25851 ''Will you show me a few of them?''
25851''Would you like to see your beeograffer''s moustache and wiskers, ma''am?'' 25851 ''You admire that house?''
25851''You know something about Falstaff, eh?'' 25851 ARE we to have that play???
25851ARE we to have that play??? 25851 ARE we to have that play???
25851As to your clambering,he replied,"do n''t I know what happened of old?
25851Did you ever see such preposterous exaggeration of small claims? 25851 Do n''t you think,"he wrote on the 24th of January,"this is a good name and quotation?
25851Do you know how many waistcoats I wear?
25851Do you remember my writing a letter to the prefet of police about that coachman? 25851 How as to a story in two periods-- with a lapse of time between, like a French Drama?
25851How can I tell you,he continues,"what has happened since that first day?
25851How do I know that I, a man, am to learn from insects-- unless it is to learn how little my littlenesses are? 25851 I have established myself, from the first, in the ladies''cabin-- you remember it?
25851I have often asked Americans in London which were the better railroads,--ours or theirs? 25851 I mentioned the dog on the first night here?

25851Is there any Italian phrase for a lump of sugar? 25851 Mac and I think of going to Ireland for six weeks in the spring, and seeing whether anything is to be done there, in the way of a book?
25851Pray, Mr. Dickens, where was your son educated?
25851Supposing your_ Goldsmith_ made a general sensation, what should you think of doing a cheap edition of his works? 25851 Tell me what you think,"he had written just before his return,"of 36 and 37?
25851Tell me,he wrote from Yorkshire, where he had been meanwhile passing pleasant holiday with a friend,"what you think of Mrs. Gamp?
25851What do you think of this idea for it? 25851 What do you think,"he wrote after six weeks,"of_ this_ name for my story-- BURIED ALIVE?
25851What do you want?
25851What does it come to?
25851What on earth does it all mean?
25851What the devil does echo mean? 25851 Which Mrs. Harris''s own words to me, was these:''Sairey Gamp,''she says,''why not go to Margate?
25851Who can listen,exclaimed Thackeray,"to objections regarding such a book as this?
25851Why else,he said,"should I so obstinately have kept to that name when once it turned up?"
25851Will Lord John meet the Parliament, or resign first?
25851Wo n''t it do to- morrow?

25851A droll existence, is it not?
25851A less period than ten years?
25851And O, Angelica, what has become of you, this present Sunday morning when I ca n''t attend to the sermon?
25851And are_ they_, too, so well kept and so fair to see?
25851And have you any idea that at this moment-- this very time-- half the public at least supposes me to be paid?
25851And if so again, what would I do it for?
25851And is n''t it expressive, the perpetual prating of him in the book as_ the Poet_?
25851And mind, sir, I can see nobody-- do you hear?
25851And what do you say?

25851Browne?
25851But do you quite consider that the public exhibition of oneself takes place equally, whosoever may get the money?
25851But how do we know them?
25851But is it not always true, in comedy and in tragedy, that the more real the man the more genuine the actor?"
25851But the party for the night following?
25851But what do you think of their being EDITORS?
25851But where will the blame lie if a man takes up_ Pickwick_ and is disappointed to find that he is not reading_ Rasselas_?
25851C, have you seen a paragraph respecting our departed friend, which has gone the round of the morning papers?''
25851Can that be so, after all?

25851Eh?
25851Eh?"

25851How can_ I_ be her fate?
25851How is he, Dolby?
25851How is it falling into ruins?

25851I ask myself this question: if corn is not to be relied on, what is?
25851I asked Manby why he stuck to him?
25851I do n''t know what to say about dining to- morrow-- perhaps you''ll send up to- morrow morning for news?
25851I have discovered that the landlord of the Albion has delicious hollands( but what is that to_ you_?
25851I have done so.--Of what animal?
25851I have done so.--Of what class, Madame?
25851I have done so.--Of what class?
25851I hope this may suit you?
25851I infer that in reality you do yourself think, that what I first thought of is_ not_ the way?
25851I never thought of Uncle Sam.--By the bye, who_ is_ Uncle Sam?''"
25851I never told you this, did I?
25851I say nothing of Kate''s troubles-- but you recollect her propensity?

25851I think you know the form-- Don''t you?
25851I thought there was a good glimpse of a crowd, from a window-- eh?"
25851I want him to loom as a fanciful thing all over London; and to get up a general notion of''What will the Shadow say about this, I wonder?
25851I would take some man of literary pretensions as a secretary( Charles Collins?
25851If I had, why should I not say so?
25851If I have not actually used that word, will you introduce it?
25851If I was to deny it, what would it avail me?''
25851If so, would I do it for the_ Chronicle_?
25851In case I should succeed, and should not come down to you this morning, shall you be at the club or elsewhere after dinner?
25851In the later letter from Lucerne written as he was travelling home, he adds:"_ Did_ I ever tell you the details of my theatrical idea, before?
25851In the morning?
25851In the very improbable( surely impossible?)

25851Is it not so?
25851Is it worth having coats and gowns of dear old Goldsmith''s day?
25851Is n''t it odd?
25851Is n''t that a good story?
25851Is n''t this admirable?
25851Is that the Post?''
25851Is the Shadow here?''
25851Is there not?"
25851Is_ this_ my experience?"
25851It occurs to me-- might not your doubt about the christening be a reason for not making the ceremony the subject of an illustration?
25851It_ is_ handsome, is it not?"
25851James''s?"
25851Just look, will you?"

25851Mary''s little dog too, Mrs. Bouncer, barked in the greatest agitation on being called down and asked by Mary,''Who is this?''
25851Meanwhile will you let him know that I have fixed the Nickleby dinner for Saturday, the 5th of October?
25851Monsieur Fors Tair, n''est- ce pas?
25851Mr. Britain must have another Christian name, then?
25851My General, says he, will you write a name on this slate, after your friend has done so?
25851My own impression of it, you remember?"
25851Not bad?"
25851Not come back, after such houses as these?
25851Now do you make anything out of this?
25851Now who do you think the lady is?
25851Now, WHAT SAY YOU?"
25851Oh, the fine old English Tory times; When will they come again?
25851On the other hand who would willingly have lost the fruits of an activity on the whole so healthy and beneficent?
25851Or is Toby but a dream?
25851Or it might be interrogatory summons to"A hard trot of three hours?"
25851Or, THE DOCTOR OF BEAUVAIS?"
25851Or, THE THREAD OF GOLD?
25851Or,"Do you know, I should n''t object to an early chop at some village inn?"
25851Or,"Is it possible that you ca n''t, ought n''t, should n''t, must n''t,_ wo n''t_ be tempted, this gorgeous day?"
25851Or,"Where shall it be--_oh, where_--Hampstead, Greenwich, Windsor?
25851Or,"You do n''t feel disposed, do you, to muffle yourself up and start off with me for a good brisk walk over Hampstead Heath?

25851Pickles?
25851Pickles?''
25851Result, Where is happiness to be found then?
25851Shall I ask him for a copy or no?
25851Shall I ever, I wonder, get the frame of mind back as it used to be then?
25851Shall I?
25851Shall we go to Rochester to- morrow week( my birthday) if the weather be, as it surely must be, better?"
25851She asked him to give her his writings, and could she have them that afternoon?

25851So Charley has let you have the carriage, has he, Dolby?
25851Spell it?
25851Stanny and Jerrold I should particularly wish; Edwin Landseer; Blanchard; perhaps Harness; and what say you to Fonblanque and Fox?
25851Steerforth?"
25851Strewn with them?
25851Sunday?)
25851Surely not Everywhere?
25851That childhood exaggerates what it sees, too, has he not tenderly told?

25851The only absolutely new incident however was that"After dinner he asked me if I would come into another room and smoke a cigar?
25851The question is, how far will that contingency tell, under Lord Campbell''s Act?"
25851The sun was going down, very red and bright; and the prospect looked like that ruddy sketch of Catlin''s, which attracted our attention( you remember?
25851Then quoth the inimitable-- Was it a dream of Toby''s after all?
25851Then she says, how could it be if we dine late enough?
25851Then there came hard upon this:"What do you think of the following double title for the beginning of that little tale?
25851There might not be anything in that but a possibility of an extra lift for the little book when it did come-- eh?
25851There was a piano in our room at Hartford( you recollect our being there, early in February?)
25851These figures are of course between ourselves, at present; but are they not magnificent?

25851To everybody in succession, Captain Porter said,''Would you like to hear it read?''
25851To which the Attorney- General had observed,''Something good, sir, I hope?''

25851Was ever anything better said of a school- fare of starved gentility?
25851Was it a very good cap?
25851Was it unnatural?
25851Was n''t it you I saw on Sunday morning in the Hall, in a soldier''s cap?

25851What else could I do?
25851What had he done?
25851What more could I say that was not better said from the pulpit of the Abbey where he rests?
25851What should you say, for a notion of the illustrations, to''Miss Tox introduces the Party?''
25851What think you?)
25851What time will you ride?
25851What to him, at that time, was the courtesy of an earthly sovereign?"
25851What will the Shadow say about that?
25851What''s home?
25851What, do you mean that C----?''
25851What, however, is the public?
25851When I had quite finished, seeing her obviously bewildered, I said, with great gravity,''Now you know what you''re going to order?''
25851When we have been writing, and I beg him( do you remember anything of my love of order, at this distance of time?)
25851When_ are_ you coming?
25851Where are the people who do all this?
25851Where are they all?
25851Where are you going to, Poker?

25851Where would you make the insertion, and to what effect?
25851Whether all the cool and shiny little chairs and tables were continually sliding about and bruising each other, and if not why not?
25851Whether anybody on the voyage ever read those two books printed in characters like bird- cages and fly- traps?
25851Whether the idol Chin Tee, of the eighteen arms, enshrined in a celestial Punch''s Show, in the place of honour, ever tumbled out in heavy weather?
25851Whether they dangled there, banging and beating against each other, like so many jesters''baubles?
25851Which is it, my dear fellow?
25851Which is it?
25851Who has not had occasion, however priding himself on his unlikeness to Micawber, to think of Micawber as he reviewed his own experiences?

25851With marvellous imagination, and a nature to endow it with elements of universal power, what secrets of creative art could possibly be closed to him?
25851Would I look at it as a Fortune, and in no other point of view?
25851Would I name a sum?
25851Would there be any distinctly bad effect in holding this idea over for another twelvemonth?

25851You remember my fears about her when she was in London the time of Alfred''s marriage, and that I said she looked to me as if she were in a decline?
