46188Was it a long fight, grandma?
46188We are going now to Passamaquoddy Bay, are n''t we, papa?
46188We pass Machias on the way to Passamaquoddy Bay, do n''t we, father?
46188Well, Chester and Harold, what do you say?
46188Well, Purdy, what is it?
46188Well, suppose we try it with the understanding that if you get too fat you are to be reduced to your present suitable size by a low and spare diet?

46188Where are we going now, Brother Max?
46188Where else but in your homes?
46188Why, dearest?
46188Why, mamma?
46188Why, that was just murder, was n''t it, grandma?
46188Will they ever come here again, papa?
46188Will you gratify them, mother?
46188Wo n''t it be fun? 46188 Yes,"said his father, with a smile,"and of course you remember the notable victory vouchsafed us by Providence five days later on Lake Erie?"
46188You are not vexed with me, papa, for staying up so late, just for once?
46188You can hardly ask your guests to eat raw corn, especially at this late hour? 46188 You stayed up to try your fortune, did you?"
46188You were talking of the war of 1812, were you, mother?
46188You will go too, Harold?
46188Your husband approves, I suppose?
46188And did you go to bed in season, as your father would have seen that you did had you been at home?"
46188And would it not be wise to give her to a physician, who will make her health his constant care?"
46188And you are willing, papa?"
46188And you will try it too, wo n''t you, Eva?"
46188Are they not sweet words, Elsie?"
46188Are we to lie still in the harbor here till you return?"
46188But I thought you and Lucilla were planning to have but one ceremony for the two couples of you?"
46188But do you think Grace suspects?"
46188But have you thought what a mixture of relationships such a marriage would make?
46188But where are we to go now, do you know?"
46188But where is Herbert?"
46188Ca n''t we help him, Grandma Elsie?
46188Can you make needed preparations in a few days?"
46188Captain, can you tell us why it is that the worldly- minded do not know Jesus?"
46188Chester''s brother Frank?"
46188Could n''t we coax your father to allow it?"
46188Do n''t you know that boys need to eat plenty, if they are to grow up into big, strong men?"

46188Do n''t you, Chester?"
46188Have you forgotten that he is with Commodore Dewey on the coast of China?"
46188How are you?"
46188I hope you are not vexed with us?"
46188I suppose they had one?"
46188Is it not because the joy of the Lord is indeed your strength?"
46188Is n''t it good of them?"
46188Just then Lucilla''s voice was heard coming from the next room,"Is that you, Max?"
46188News from home?"
46188Papa, can you tell us about the funeral?
46188Said one of the Rough Riders:"Now that we''ve got those Dagoes corralled, why do n''t we brand them?"
46188Shall we do as I have proposed, or something different?"
46188She reflected a moment, then--"It ca n''t be Uncle Harold?"
46188That makes it much easier to bear, does n''t it, my dear?"
46188That''s your name, is n''t it?"
46188They paced silently back and forth for a few moments, then Lucilla asked,"How long are we going to lie quietly here in Portland harbor, papa?"
46188This is the_ Iowa_?''
46188Well, gentlemen, which of you will take his turn now?"
46188What but that sustained the martyrs when called upon to lay down their lives for the sake of Him who died to redeem them?
46188What is it-- war news?"
46188What was the cause?"
46188When they had finished,"Did you miss me last night and this morning, father?"
46188Why ca n''t we finish off the Dons, now we''ve got them going?"
46188Wo n''t you let your father into the secret of it?"
46188Would the captain ever consent to such a mixture of relationships?
46188Yet could it be?
46188You could spare that much more time from your home, could n''t you, Grandma Elsie?"
46188and are they really lovers, and engaged?"
46188and that he could come out with the assistance of my arm?"
46188and wo n''t you please read its inscription?"
46188asked Elsie;"and did any of them do it?"
46188but wo n''t you please tell about Revolutionary times and the war of 1812- 14?"
46188ca n''t you love me in that way, even just a little?"
46188can it be possible that this is you?"
46188do you see how earnestly Harold and Grace are talking together?
46188exclaimed Elsie;"I suppose they had to give up then?"
46188exclaimed Lucilla, in a tone of utter astonishment,"to whom?
46188exclaimed one of the gunners,"who wants any breakfast?
46188he exclaimed,"what''s that you are calling me?"
46188how can you?
46188said Elsie, in a tone of entreaty,"ca n''t you tell us something more about Captain Philip?
46188she whispered to her friend,"do you know-- have you heard the news?"
46188what was that?"
45804Ah, Elsie wanting to do some shopping, too?
45804Ah, Ned, Ned, is that all you care about in seeing your only brother?
45804Ah, little chap, you seem to be good at guessing,laughed Mr. Lilburn;"a bit of a Yankee, are n''t you?"
45804Ajax, what are you doing with those little monkeys? 45804 All of them, papa?"
45804And He could have struck them all dead without a word, could n''t He, grandma?
45804And I am quite sure of it,said Lucilla;"and as my husband is a distant relative of yours, Zoe, you and I can claim kin, ca n''t we?"
45804And as my Aunt Elsie, Grandma Elsie''s oldest daughter, is sister to your husband, ca n''t you and I claim kin, Zoe?
45804And can we see all these things when we get there-- to Key West, I mean?
45804And did the Indians kill them, papa?
45804And did they bury all those seven hundred folks that they killed, papa?
45804And did they hang him?
45804And did they kill her, Cousin Ronald?
45804And did they kill him at last, papa?
45804And did they stop there, papa?
45804And does n''t it seem that that was what God preserved him for, grandma?
45804And home victuals poor and tasteless?
45804And how soon do you think father and his party will join us?
45804And how soon shall we start?
45804And if we are really His disciples we will be forgiven, too, wo n''t we, grandma?
45804And in more ways than one, has n''t it, grandma?
45804And is n''t he some relation to you, grandma?
45804And it was just you, Cousin Ronald, was n''t it?
45804And leave Lu alone all day while Chester is away at his office? 45804 And men go down into deep water to get them, do they?"
45804And now can you tell me what to buy for Sister Grace?
45804And that could n''t be true,remarked Elsie wisely,"for nobody could live half as long as that without eating anything, could they, Uncle Harold?"
45804And the sight of your new grandchild, your first grandson, might help the cure, might it not?
45804And those thirteen colonies were all there was of our country at the time of the Revolutionary War, were n''t they?
45804And were n''t you kindly trying to make a bit of fun for me?
45804And were the French and their Indians hiding in those ravines, grandma?
45804And what about Queen Mary? 45804 And with all those you can do without papa and mamma for a few days, ca n''t you, sonny boy?"
45804And would n''t you like to see the place where all that is said to have happened?
45804And you think I''m your Cousin Ronald, do you? 45804 And you think you have to obey him, do you?"
45804And you will help me with frequent letters, papa dear, wo n''t you?
45804And you will stay with us between this time and that, and tell us your nice true stories, wo n''t you, grandma?
45804And you will, too, wo n''t you, uncle?
45804And you, father? 45804 Are Chester and Lu coming with the other party, uncle?"
45804Are n''t we getting pretty near to Louisiana, papa?
45804Are you glad to be at home again?
45804Are you?
45804Are you?
45804As you two are so glad to get your tee- tees back again, do n''t you feel sorry for Lily and Laurie, that they had to part with them?
45804At the Great Meadows, grandma?
45804But Sister Lu can go, ca n''t she?
45804But could not you trust her to the care of her nurse for a half hour or so?
45804But do you think you could be wrong or foolish in following your father''s advice?
45804But does Cousin Violet like it? 45804 But how did France get so much?"
45804But how did they know that the Indians were there and doing such dreadful deeds?
45804But they killed Braddock, did n''t they?
45804But what did Mrs. Jones do while that fight was going on?
45804But who are you?
45804But who of our folks took possession now that it was bought from the French, and just when did they do it?
45804But why not?
45804But you and Baby Mary will go with us, wo n''t you, Eva?
45804But you do n''t want to get worse, do you?
45804But you use different colors, so that they will always know which is which, do n''t you, mamma?
45804But, papa, have not the Natchez always been considered superior to other tribes in refinement, intelligence and bravery?
45804But, papa, was what is now the State of Louisiana all we bought from France by that treaty of 1803?
45804But, papa,turning to his father,"ca n''t we get in a boat and have a row on the bayou?"
45804Ca n''t you let him have a little rest now?
45804Can you tell us in what town and castle she made her home?
45804Colonial, grandma?
45804Dear me, where in the world is he?
45804Did n''t anybody at all get away from them, uncle?
45804Did n''t know much about geography, did they?
45804Did she love him, Cousin Ronald?
45804Did they kill him, papa?
45804Did you buy it for her, uncle?
45804Do n''t we, Lu and Eva?
45804Do n''t you think, Cousin Ronald, that it''s all right for her to want to know what has made little Mary talk so well to- night?
45804Do they grow down under the water, and are they nice and clean when they are brought up, uncle?
45804Do you know how deep the water is on this coast, Harold?
45804Do you plead guilty, Cousin Ronald?
45804Do you remember, mother, what Grant said of him when asked,''Who is the greatest single figure in civil life developed by the Civil War?''
45804Do you suppose they had any money to buy with, grandma?
45804Do you think she really wanted to die, and was courting death, Cousin Ronald?
45804Go to Viamede? 45804 Grandma, I want to belong to Him,"said Alie Leland;"how shall I get to be His, and know that I am?"
45804Grandma, could n''t Jesus have hindered those wicked men from treating Him so? 45804 Grandma, did Tom Fausett''s shot kill Braddock at once?"
45804Had he never any children at all, grandma?
45804Had not Logan something to do with Kenton''s rescue by that Canadian trader Drewyer?
45804Had she any right to do that?
45804Have n''t you a map of Florida, Harold?
45804How could anybody want to have him for a friend?
45804How far is that, grandma?
45804How far, Harold?
45804How long may you stay with us this time, Max?
45804How on earth does he manage to disappear so quickly?
45804I hope you are willing to trust me, Sister Eva?
45804I must set off at once for Sunnyside,he said;"Lucilla is ill. Will you go along?"
45804I suppose we will all go ashore directly, or at least pretty soon after breakfast, wo n''t we, Harold?
45804I thought he was your brother; he''s married to your sister, is n''t he?
45804If you did n''t want to be cured?
45804In 1540, papa? 45804 Is it a story, papa, and will you tell me about it?"
45804Is she too curious?
45804Is there a town there, uncle?
45804Is there any more story about Jasper, grandma?
45804Is there some more story about Nast and his pictures?
45804It was a slave State, was n''t it, papa, and one that seceded in the time of the Civil War?
45804It was very, very wonderful, grandma, was n''t it?
45804It( Key West) is considered an important military station, is it not?
45804Just what I think,said Elsie;"and you will be here, wo n''t you, grandma and uncle?"
45804May I come in?
45804May I not count you and Lucilla among my grandchildren?
45804May I trust you to take good care of my wife and daughter while they are left alone with you and Sister Lu?
45804My dear,said Violet, addressing the captain,"do n''t you think we can make our arrangements to leave for Viamede by next Tuesday morning?"
45804No, Cousin Ronald, I did n''t mean any harm; but have n''t you different kinds of voices for different times and occasions?
45804No; you ai n''t one of the big folks, are you?
45804Not go to Savannah, I suppose, as the British were there?
45804Now shall we go upstairs and oversee the doings of Santa Claus with those stockings?
45804Now, children, shall I tell you something about Lincoln?
45804Now, little girls, what are your opinions in regard to the matter?
45804Now, who are you talking that way about me?
45804Now, who can tell me whether it is to the vegetable or animal kingdom sponge belongs?
45804Oh, Sister Grace, will your dresses be done by that time?
45804Oh, how can we help loving Him with all our hearts and serving Him with all our powers?
45804Oh, how can we help loving Him with all our hearts?
45804Oh, is it one for Sister Lu''s new baby?
45804Oh, papa, ca n''t we have a voyage out in the ocean, too?
45804Oh, that was good,said Elsie Dinsmore;"and was Louisiana made a State at once, captain?"
45804Oh, that''s nice-- but-- oh, what can I do without papa and mamma? 45804 Oh, was it you who made her do it, Brother Max?"
45804Oh, who are you now?
45804Oh, yes, papa, and will we have a Christmas tree? 45804 Oh, you do, do you?"
45804One of the Confederates, grandma?
45804Papa and mamma, too?
45804Shall we go to- morrow?
45804She seceded in the time of the Civil War, did she not, papa?
45804Show us what?
45804So it was very bad for both armies, was n''t it, papa?
45804Something historical?
45804Something more of our Washington or of others of our Presidents?
45804Texas is a very big State, is n''t it, papa?
45804That''s high praise, grandma, is n''t it?
45804The State went out of the Union in the time of the Civil War, did n''t it, papa?
45804The climate is warm, is it not, papa?
45804The scenery about there is said to be very fine, is it not?
45804Then what did they all do, grandma?
45804Uncle Harold, do you think I will be well enough to go?
45804Well, Neddie boy, do n''t you think Mr. Sponge has talked enough now?
45804Well, darling little daughter,he said,"I hope you have had a pleasant time at home with grandma and Ned and cousins while papa and mamma were away?"
45804Well, dear child, what is it?
45804Well, dears, what shall I tell of?
45804Well, my dears, about which State do you wish to hear now?
45804Well,cried Ned,"how in the world did he get up there?
45804Were n''t the bad men wanting to do Jesus harm?
45804Were there any other colonies that the Indians destroyed in that part of our country, papa?
45804What do you think of buying with that large sum of money, Elsie?
45804What do you think of them, Harold?
45804What do you think of them, mother?
45804What does it look like?
45804What does that mean, grandma?
45804What does that mean?
45804What is a kraal, uncle?
45804What is to be our lesson for to- day, captain?
45804What of the weather, Harold?
45804When was the war quite over, grandma?
45804Which is it, grandma?
45804Who am I? 45804 Who could suspect me of being so unfeeling a wife?"
45804Who was Garibaldi, grandma, and what did Nast want to join him for?
45804Who was that man, grandma?
45804Why do n''t you come out of that stateroom and show yourself?
45804Why, Neddie boy, do you think that is the kind of English I speak?
45804Why, grandma, did he want his own men killed?
45804Why, grandma, what did he do that for?
45804Why, what does that mean, uncle?
45804Why, who is it, and what does he want?
45804Will the friends and relatives about there be expecting us, mother?
45804Would not that suit you, Gracie dear?
45804Yes, son, and I think you will not object to accompanying us in that, will you?
45804Yes,said Lucilla,"''laugh and grow fat''is an old adage, and we''ll try to have our babies do it, wo n''t we, Eva?"
45804You are not going to leave us to- night?
45804You do not think it too fine for her, do you?
45804You know what we mean when we say a vessel has been wrecked, do n''t you?
45804''Aye, what is it?''
45804And He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, Why doth this generation seek after a sign?
45804And the high priest asked him,''Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?''
45804And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying,''Answerest thou nothing?
45804And they have named him for you, have n''t they, Levis?"
45804And, father, you will write frequently to me?"
45804Another for Eva?"
45804Are we going to stop at New Orleans, papa?"
45804Be ye now?"
45804But glancing at Cousin Ronald, Max laughed and replied:"Are you, daughter?
45804But is n''t it natural that the joy of seeing her long absent father should loosen her tongue?"
45804But to what particular passages in her history shall I call your attention now?"
45804But, dear Dick and Rob, will it not make confusion to have two of the same name at Torriswood?"
45804CHAPTER VII"Where are we now, uncle?
45804Can you not invite them now through the''phone, and ask how soon they can be ready, if willing to go?"
45804Can you tell him, Grace, what it was at that time?"
45804Could n''t He have made them all die that minute if He had chosen to?"
45804Did n''t you bring it along?"
45804Did n''t you want to go along with the big folks?"
45804Did they hurt her, Cousin Ronald?"
45804Do I look like that old gent?"
45804Do n''t you wish you''d been climbing those mountains along with him?"
45804Have we come down to Florida yet?"
45804Have you good news?"
45804His promise is,''Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out;''and who shall doubt His own word?
45804How is my little grandson this morning?"
45804I am not too old for that, am I?"
45804I presume you all know something of the brutal murder of Rizzio?"
45804I suppose you must have seen all the palaces and castles she ever lived in there in Scotland?"
45804In the evening, after the fight, Braddock exclaimed,''Who would have thought it?''
45804It could n''t have been nearly enough, except by Jesus blessing it and making it more, could it, grandma?"
45804Just then Grace''s voice at the door asked,"May I come in?"
45804May n''t they be carried into the library, mamma?
45804Mother, what do you say to seeing something of the sponging business?"
45804Ned laughed at that, and turning to the other baby, asked:"How was it with you, Ray?
45804Oh Brother Chester, ca n''t you get somebody else to manage your business while you go along with us?"
45804Oh, are you going to give little Ray a carriage, too?"
45804Or who could fail to rejoice in the prospect of soon seeing the sweet homes for which they were now bound and the tenderly loved ones there?
45804Shall I give them?"
45804Shall I never, never escape?''"
45804Should you enjoy visiting St. Augustine and Fort Marion again, Elsie?"
45804Thank God, a man can die but once, and why should we fear to leave this life in the way of our duty?''
45804Then I s''pose you''re brave enough to venture a row on the bayou without fear o''bein''drowned?"
45804Then looking across the table at Mr. Lilburn,"Now that was just you talking, Cousin Ronald, was n''t it?"
45804Then the high priest rent his clothes and said,''What need we any further witnesses?
45804Then turning to her husband,"You can go too, ca n''t you, Chester?"
45804This country belonged to the Indians; what right had the Spaniards to come here and try to take it from them?
45804Violet, my dear, will you begin?"
45804Was he an American, grandma?"
45804Was it right for him to say that?"
45804Well, how soon do you expect our kith and kin to come from Viamede to their more northern homes?"
45804What can I do but lie down and die?"
45804What is it which these witness against thee?''
45804What was that, grandma?"
45804When will we go?"
45804Where are you taking them?"
45804Where was that, grandma?"
45804Why did n''t they and Chester come?"
45804Why, whose baby is it?
45804Will Grace hang her stocking up, do you think?"
45804Will you and Gracie take care of me?"
45804Will you go along?"
45804Will you tell me about it, grandma?"
45804Wo n''t you come in and have a cup of coffee?"
45804Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye?''
45804You are well?"
46540About how much do you suppose that means?
46540Acquaintances of mine, you think, lassie?
46540Ah, do you see? 46540 Ah, is that so?
46540Ah, what father would, if he had such a dear little girl and boy as mine?
46540Ah, what is that?
46540Am I the angel, and may I fly in?
46540And did all that happen at the siege of Jerusalem?
46540And do you wish to visit it-- or a part of it?
46540And does England own it yet, grandma?
46540And how is it with Max and Eva?
46540And how soon did he begin his piracy, papa?
46540And is n''t it a very important part trying to win souls to Christ?
46540And is the baleen all they kill the whales for, papa?
46540And it has a warm climate, has n''t it, grandma?
46540And oh, mamma, do n''t you think that he and Uncle Harold will soon get dear Neddie well of his dreadful dip in the sea?
46540And perhaps you may treat Cuba in the same way?
46540And so I''m not a real person?
46540And we are on the coast of Brazil now?
46540And what father would n''t be ready and glad to bestow it upon such a daughter as mine?
46540And when will that be, Cousin Ronald?
46540And you can take a cup of coffee and a little fruit, ca n''t you, father?
46540And you would n''t miss that for something, would you?
46540And you, Evelyn?
46540And you, mother?
46540And, after all, the ventriloquism was really all you wanted me for, eh?
46540Any of us but papa?
46540Are n''t we, papa?
46540Are the fish handsome, too, grandpa?
46540Are the rest of us invited, Gracie?
46540Are there a good many wild flowers in Cuba, papa?
46540Are there any rivers, grandma?
46540Are there any towns?
46540Are there fruits and flowers in those forests, papa?
46540Are there many kinds, papa?
46540Are there mountains, grandma?
46540Are there not many and important exports sent down the Amazon?
46540Are there towns on it, grandma?
46540Are they big islands, grandma? 46540 Are we going to stop at any of these South American countries, papa?"
46540Are we likely to land there?
46540Are you going to take us to Cuba, too, papa?
46540Are you quite sure of all that, daughter?
46540Are you talking about Elsie''s Tiny, papa?
46540Are you?
46540Blow hole,repeated Ned, wonderingly;"what''s that, papa?"
46540Brazil''s a big country, is n''t it, papa?
46540But could n''t we let the supper wait till the whale comes up and gets done spouting?
46540But have n''t we had a good time in all our journeying about old ocean and her islands?
46540But how are we going to keep Christmas here on the yacht?
46540But how can they tell where it goes when it mixes in with other waters, papa?
46540But now as we have finished eating and drinking shall we not take our stroll about the grounds?
46540But what kind of people live there, grandma?
46540But where are we going?
46540But where does it run to, papa?
46540But, papa, where does it get so much water to pour out?
46540Ca n''t they go, father and Mamma Vi?
46540Could n''t you make use of the telephone now, to give your invitations, my dear?
46540Cousin Ronald, wo n''t you please make him talk a little more?
46540Dear me, papa, how can anybody live there?
46540Did Columbus discover it, and the Spaniards settle it, papa?
46540Did he own that he was guilty, papa?
46540Did it pay?
46540Did the folks give you plenty to eat, Tee- tee?
46540Do n''t they have some difficulty in finding it, father?
46540Do n''t you think it would be pleasanter to visit it after it has had time to recover from the war?
46540Do they live in flocks in their own forests, papa?
46540Do they usually go alone, papa?
46540Do you forget that I told you they would run up the trees? 46540 Do you hear that?
46540Do you mean throw the water up out of its nostrils, papa?
46540Do you really think so, cousin doctor?
46540Do you think of giving him to any one of them?
46540Do you think of visiting any part of the island, Captain?
46540Do you think we will have as good a time where we are going now?
46540Does n''t he ride well?
46540Elsie and Ned would n''t you like your grandma to tell you something about the islands we are going to?
46540Every one of them, papa?
46540Father,said Lucilla,"are we not nearing the Caribbean Sea?"
46540Father,said Lulu,"you will let me be your amanuensis again, will you not?"
46540For what purpose did you two children take papa down below? 46540 Give my little pet Tiny away?
46540Gold is to be found in Brazil, is it not, papa?
46540Grace, do you think the spies were truthful?
46540Had not the earlier prophets foretold the destruction of Jerusalem?
46540Had they any right to, grandma?
46540Have they railroads and telegraphs, papa?
46540Have those times been fulfilled yet?
46540Have you any money?
46540Have you wanted us sometimes when you were far away on the sea, Brother Max?
46540Having completed the circuit of Cuba, where do we go next, Captain?
46540Hello, what is it?
46540How are Max and Eva this morning?
46540How does Cousin Ronald help him?
46540How early would you like to have it?
46540How is it with you, Cousins Annis and Ronald?
46540How is the little lad, sir?
46540How large is it, grandma?
46540How long will it take us to get to Viamede, papa?
46540How soon, father, do you think of starting on your southward trip?
46540How would you like to be carried off to a strange place, away from papa and mamma?
46540I hope you think you are having a good time here on this yacht?
46540I like this place, Tiny, do n''t you?
46540I suppose you two have not forgotten that to- morrow will be Sunday and the next day Christmas?
46540I suppose you would hardly blame them for following your example?
46540I think I have read,said Evelyn,"that Columbus at first thought Cuba not an island but a part of the mainland?"
46540I think you are worthy of an increase of pay, Mr. Clark, and you wo n''t object to it, I suppose?
46540Is he good to eat, grandpa?
46540Is it a very hot place, papa?
46540Is it really good to eat, papa?
46540Is n''t it the ant that clips and carries away leaves?
46540Is she a very big island, papa?
46540Is that all you want me for, Neddie boy?
46540Is there anything I can do to help with your preparations, Mamma Vi?
46540Is there much of it in one whale, papa?
46540It will be a long journey before we get to Viamede, wo n''t it, mamma?
46540Lu, dear, can you give me an early breakfast to- morrow morning?
46540Many other bugs, too, I suppose?
46540Mosquitoes, for instance?
46540Not so very much, papa-- only-- she belongs to England, does n''t she, papa?
46540Now, father, you are going to take us to Santiago next, are you not?
46540Now, mother, shall I give my invitation in the same way to our own friends?
46540Oh mamma, do you think they would do that?
46540Oh, Brother Max, it was you, was n''t it?
46540Oh, Max, my husband, my dear, dear husband,she sobbed,"how can I live away from you?
46540Oh, Uncle Harold, you''ll take Sister Eva to a good place to see everything from, wo nt you?
46540Oh, do they like to live right in among the icebergs, papa?
46540Oh, do you think he can learn, papa?
46540Oh, is my tee- tee drowned?
46540Oh, papa, are we really going there?
46540Oh, was I? 46540 Oh,"cried Lucilla,"it is a secret then, is it?
46540Oh? 46540 Orders, my son?"
46540Our whale fishing is done mostly by the New Englanders, is n''t it, papa?
46540Papa, I know there used to be pirates in the West Indies; was it there that Kidd committed his crimes?
46540Papa, are monkeys mischievous?
46540Papa, did all those people lose their souls?
46540Papa, did that old king live long enough to see how very cruel the Spaniards were to his people?
46540Papa, that Captain Capron was n''t instantly killed by that Mauser bullet, was he?
46540Papa, were they-- the Indians-- heathen?
46540Papa, why do they call it by that name-- Caribbean Sea?
46540Papa, wo n''t you buy me one?
46540Papa,asked Ned,"are there lions and tigers and monkeys in the woods?"
46540Perhaps papa will bring us a second time after that?
46540Please, papa, tell us something about Cuba now, wo n''t you?
46540Quite true, Harold,he said,"but who is to be the happy recipient of mother''s bounty this time?"
46540Shall I ring and call for you?
46540Shall I send you in the carriage?
46540Shall we find a good harbor for our''Dolphin,''father?
46540Shall we go up the Orinoco?
46540Slaves, grandma?
46540Spanish colors? 46540 That was you, grandma, was n''t it?"
46540The Gulf Stream is very important, is n''t it, papa?
46540The Romans?
46540The Stream is very broad, is n''t it, papa?
46540The carriage is coming, Lu,said Eva;"are you ready for a drive?
46540The sea fight?
46540The whales are so big and strong; do n''t they ever fight back when men try to kill them, papa?
46540Then, papa, does n''t it seem as if we ought to be busied with religious duties all the time?
46540There were other charges, were there not, Captain?
46540They belong to England, do n''t they, grandma?
46540They have earthquakes there sometimes, have they not, father?
46540They have some very large and busy ants in this country, have n''t they, father?
46540This is one of the occasions for the wearing of the wedding- gown, is it not?
46540To what genus does he belong, Captain?
46540Trinidad is a warm place, is n''t it, grandma?
46540Was n''t it, papa?
46540Well, dear child, what is it?
46540Well, dears, we have had a very good time at Bermuda, have n''t we?
46540Well, little master, did n''t you make a mistake, too?
46540Whalebone or baleen is black, is n''t it, papa?
46540What about little master?
46540What are the names of some of them, grandma? 46540 What do monkeys eat, papa?"
46540What do you say, Grandma Dinsmore?
46540What is it, papa? 46540 What is to be the subject of to- morrow''s lesson, Captain?"
46540What mischief did it do, grandma?
46540What was?
46540What would you say as to visiting Viamede?
46540What''s that, uncle?
46540Where are Vi, Grace and the children?
46540Where do you suppose Max is now, father?
46540Who is making you talk, I wonder?
46540Why do you want me to talk so much, little mistress?
46540Why is this kind of whale called bottlenosed, papa?
46540Why should n''t Elsie go too? 46540 Why should they wish they had died in the land of Egypt, or in the wilderness?
46540Will this be your first visit to Porto Rico, Captain?
46540Will we go back to Trinidad?
46540Wo nt you sit down with us? 46540 Would you like to be?"
46540Yes, but we are having a very good time here on the''Dolphin,''are n''t we, Elsie?
46540Yes, papa,she laughed,"who would n''t be an early bird to get such a token of love from such a father as mine?"
46540Yes, sir; Grandpa Travilla would have been his-- papa''s-- father- in- law if he had lived, would n''t he?
46540Yes,seemed to come from another voice,"would n''t I like to git in thar and help myself?
46540You and uncle, of course, expect to be at Woodburn to- night, Aunt Elsie?
46540You are not weary of life on shipboard, daughter?
46540You are not wearying of it, I hope, my dear?
46540You are taking us home now, I suppose, father?
46540You do n''t want to be surprised by the pretty things you will see there, eh?
46540You have been there, have n''t you, grandma?
46540You have enjoyed your trip thus far, daughter, have you not?
46540You know something about it, I suppose?
46540You will come, wo n''t you?
46540You will not mind seeing me in it for the second time, will you?
46540You would n''t like to miss that?
46540Your leave of absence has nearly expired?
46540And Paul and Silas, when asked by the jailor,''Sirs, what must I do to be saved?''
46540And how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?
46540And it comes out of the whale''s mouth, does it, papa?"
46540And shall we not take a little stroll about your grounds when we leave the breakfast- room?"
46540And the Lord said unto Moses,''How long will this people provoke me?
46540And what effect had their report upon the people, Cousin Violet?"
46540And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey?
46540But what do you know about Jamaica, the island we are bound for?"
46540Chester, what did Moses say in reply?"
46540Did you not notice the almost infantile innocence in the expression of their countenances?"
46540Do n''t you think so?"
46540Do n''t you, Cousin Ronald?"
46540Do n''t you?"
46540Do n''t you?"
46540Do you care very much about them, Tee- tee?"
46540Do you know, Neddie, what Eshcol means?"
46540Do you like to be with us on this nice big yacht?"
46540Do you think it-- his coming-- is very near?"
46540Does it not?"
46540Eager, excited remarks and queries now followed in rapid succession from the others present--"When was the start to be made?
46540Gracie wo n''t you ride him home?
46540Have you something to show us?"
46540Here in the first chapter of Acts we read that the disciples asked,''Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
46540How could she bear it?
46540How could they depart out of the city while it was compassed with armies?"
46540How much have you?"
46540I do n''t know any lovelier or more delightful place to go to; do you, papa?"
46540I presume you would all like to see that city?"
46540Is it a fertile island, papa?
46540Is n''t it delightful to begin our married life in so lovely a home of our very own?"
46540Is there any way for us to get gifts for all these dear folks on the yacht with us, or for any of them, papa?"
46540Is there much to attract us there?
46540Ned laughed, saying,"So you think, do you?"
46540Papa, where are we going now?
46540Papa, wo n''t you tell us something about the Amazon?"
46540Shall I read it?"
46540Shall I tell you about it?"
46540Shall my brother Tee- tee have a good time with me, too?"
46540Then, catching sight of his little girl as he gained the deck, and seeing that she was crying bitterly,"Elsie daughter, what is it?"
46540To interest and instruct?
46540Uncle Harold, you came pretty near having a share in the Santiago one, did n''t you?"
46540We are bound for Porto Rico now, are we not?"
46540Were it not better for us to return into Egypt?''
46540What are they, grandpa?"
46540What has happened to them?"
46540What shall we do?
46540Who besides Grandma Elsie and the Captain were to compose the party?"
46540Who shall say that you wo n''t change your mind after a few weeks spent in Brazil?"
46540Why not stay here with us?"
46540Will they ever come back?"
46540Will we get there to- day?"
46540Wo nt you come in and eat with me?"
46540Wo nt you go with us, Grace?
46540Would you like me to tell you about some of the more interesting ones?"
46540Would you like me to tell you something of its beauties and its history?"
46540and are there many of them?"
46540and have you decided where you wish to go?"
46540and which set will you join, little wife?"
46540and will you remember?"
46540asked Ned;"were there houses destroyed and people killed?"
46540how is he-- my darling little son?"
46540or was it he who took you?"
46540who wants to be paid for saving that cute little chap from drowning?"
32225''Do I understand you, sir? 32225 A share?
32225A sweet Sabbath morning, is it not? 32225 Ah, Brother Levis,"said Rosie coaxingly,"you surely will not be so unkind as to require lessons of us to- morrow?"
32225Ah, Rosie, my bonnie lassie, how can you treat your auld kinsman so ill as to suspect him of murdering the king''s English in that style?
32225Ah, did I do that?
32225Ah, do you really think so, sir?
32225Ah, sir, who is to say he belonged to this part of the world?
32225Ah, what was that, sir?
32225Ah, yes, a rather intimate acquaintance of yours, sir, is he not?
32225Ah?
32225Ai nt I fooled ye nice, now? 32225 And Andrew Jackson was the commanding general?"
32225And I may choose it myself?
32225And begin to feel yourself something of a man, since you are not called Max, but Mr. Raymond at the Academy yonder?
32225And did the Americans chase them that time, sir?
32225And did they do it, sir?
32225And did they go on firing at the fort?
32225And may I too, papa?
32225And oh, papa, may n''t we run about everywhere and look at everything?
32225And our fellows fired back at him, of course?
32225And the more we love him, the more we will try to be like him?
32225And the victory was won then, papa?
32225And this was in the fall of 1814, was it not, captain?
32225And was Gansevoort alone with them, papa?
32225And was that the end of the fight, papa?
32225And were many of them killed, sir?
32225And when then did we get possession of Florida, sir?
32225And where are the foes who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war, and the battle''s confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more? 32225 And where was Butler all this time, sir?"
32225And will you drive over with me, Art?
32225And you are just as willing to let me keep near you, papa?
32225And you have left Max at the Academy again?
32225And you will ask him for both of us, wo n''t you, papa?
32225Are the ladies and girls all gone?
32225Are those lessons ready, daughter?
32225Brother Levis,said Rosie,"you surely are not going to be so unreasonable and tyrannical as to require lessons of us to- day?"
32225But Burgoyne never got there-- to Albany-- until he went as a prisoner; did he, sir?
32225But I suppose there is something to be seen here?
32225But I suppose you will hardly think it necessary to decline the invitation on that account?
32225But did any of our men escape being killed, sir?
32225But sha n''t I drive him out, sir?
32225But then you''ll let him have something to eat, wo n''t you, papa?
32225But to change the subject: when shall we take that delightful trip to New Orleans? 32225 But was n''t there some fighting done there or at Mobile in the Civil War, sir?"
32225But who gained the victory, papa?
32225But, papa, I''ll never be able to learn the lessons before dinner time, and I am hungry now; are you going to make me fast till I recite perfectly?
32225Dartmoor, papa?
32225Did he live to see the end of the war, sir?
32225Did n''t Jackson capture Pensacola at one time during that war with England, Captain?
32225Did n''t you, now?
32225Did the British give it up then, papa?
32225Did the men in the fort give up then, papa?
32225Did they do no fighting at all at the time, sir?
32225Did they let him be mayor again, papa?
32225Did you get leave for him to stay all day, papa?
32225Do I?
32225Do you know her, Art? 32225 Does it?
32225Does my dear eldest daughter deem that a privilege?
32225Especially when enjoyed in such good company, I presume?
32225Firstly, then, are we to have school as usual between this and the time of the wedding?
32225For what?
32225Gracie, my darling, do you not want to go to your bed?
32225Gracie,said Lulu,"how much money have you left?"
32225Had a royal time of it, I suppose?
32225Had he lost many of his men that day, sir?
32225Had not the British made very sure beforehand of being able to take Baltimore, Captain?
32225Has some special good come to you, dear?
32225Have n''t you lessons to say to- day?
32225Here,returned Gracie;"do n''t you see I''ve got her in my arms?
32225Hull, Bainbridge, Porter-- where are they? 32225 I am sure nobody else is,"said Walter;"so please go on, sir, wo n''t you?
32225I have n''t been misbehaving, have I? 32225 I hope he was n''t allowed to do as he pleased about it?"
32225I hope you did n''t stay at home just to hear my lessons, papa?
32225I should think that was a great victory; was it not, Brother Levis?
32225I suppose there was an exchange of prisoners?
32225I, laddie? 32225 In regard to what, daughter?"
32225Including your pupils in the list, I presume, sir?
32225Is anybody else going, papa?
32225Is anything wrong with her?
32225Is it almost as lovely here as at Viamede?
32225Is mamma ready for dinner, Elsie?
32225Is she ill?
32225Is that what is meant in those verses?
32225It happened in the War of 1812, did n''t it?
32225It is, what does the Bible mean by growing in grace?
32225It was attacked by the British, was n''t it, sir?
32225It will be returning good for evil, as the Bible bids us; wo n''t it, papa?
32225Max''s?
32225Maxie dere too, papa?
32225May I not assist you to your room?
32225NOW, papa, if you''re not too tired wo n''t you please tell us about the writing of the''Star- Spangled Banner''?
32225Not a single cent,was the reply in a rather rueful tone;"and I suppose yours is all gone too?"
32225Nothing to be bought for the gentlemen, I suppose?
32225Now, Brother Levis, if you''re not too tired, wo n''t you please go on and tell us all about the taking of New Orleans in the last war?
32225O Virgie, did he die as he had lived?
32225Oh, Mamma Vi, is n''t it just delightful to be at home again?
32225Oh, do you know him, sir?
32225Oh, do you think so?
32225Oh, it is an earthly paradise, is it not, Ned?
32225Oh, may I go and get her some, papa?
32225Oh, papa,exclaimed little Elsie, seated upon her father''s knee,"may n''t I send dem some of my dollies?"
32225Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn''s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight''s last gleaming? 32225 Oh, was n''t everybody terribly frightened, papa?"
32225Oh, would papa never give her an opportunity to speak to him?
32225Oh,cried Lu in surprise,"we are at anchor again in the river at Annapolis, are n''t we, papa?"
32225Papa, did you know they could talk?
32225Papa, do you think a dollar will be enough for me to give the Forestis?
32225Papa, is it wrong to wear nice, pretty clothes, and to enjoy having them?
32225Papa, is that the end of your story?
32225Papa, may I?
32225Papa, please may I ask a few questions now, before you leave me?
32225Papa, shall we stop there to- morrow on our way to or from church? 32225 Papa, was n''t he a Christian man?"
32225Papa, what are fascines?
32225Papa,asked Grace at length,"are we to begin lessons to- morrow?"
32225Papa,asked Lulu,"ca n''t we take a little different route going home?"
32225Papa,asked Lulu,"what became of that very star- spangled banner Mr. Key was looking for when he wrote the song?"
32225Papa,said Grace earnestly,"did not God help our cause because we were in the right?"
32225Perhaps some other day, then?
32225Please may n''t I sit on your knee for five or ten minutes?
32225Please, if you have letters to answer, may n''t I write them for you on my typewriter?
32225Possible? 32225 Rather strong, is n''t it?"
32225Regulars, sir?
32225Rosie? 32225 Shall I go too, papa?"
32225So the Americans of course were afraid to reject them?
32225So you want a cracker, do you?
32225Some of the New Orleans people, especially the women, behaved very badly, did they not, captain?
32225Surely it could not be mamma herself?
32225Thank you, papa; you are very kind to say that; but please tell me if you think a dollar will be enough for me?
32225The one great question is,''Do you believe on the Son of God?'' 32225 Then what right had Jackson to suspend it, sir?"
32225Then, as we are all done eating, shall we not go at once, my dear?
32225To help with the shopping? 32225 Waiting for me, love?"
32225Was he an American by birth, Brother Levis?
32225Was n''t it that night it was written?
32225Was n''t it?
32225Was that so, sir?
32225Was the_ Manassas_ one of the eighteen, sir?
32225Was there not a second attack by the British upon Fort Bowyer, Captain?
32225We are in the Gulf now, are n''t we, sir?
32225We are nearing there now, are we not, my dear?
32225We will pass near enough to Forts Gaines and Morgan to get a view of them-- the outside at least-- will we not, Captain?
32225Well, daughter, has the rest of the Sabbath made you ready for work in the school- room again?
32225Well, what shall we do this afternoon?
32225Were any of the British killed, sir?
32225Were both Americans and British playing their national airs while the fight was going on, sir?
32225Were not the British rather more successful in another part of the field, Captain?
32225Were they frightened and bribed into doing what the British wished, sir?
32225Were you indeed, papa? 32225 Wha-- wha-- wha dat raskil done gone?"
32225Whar dat fellah dun gone?
32225What about, papa dear?
32225What is it, daughter?
32225What is it?
32225What is that, Max?
32225What is that, papa?
32225What is the matter?
32225What now, Raymond?
32225What was it you saw yonder in that bush, Bill?
32225What was it, papa? 32225 What was that for, papa?"
32225What will papa do and say to me?
32225What would mamma say if we failed to bring you? 32225 What would you take for him, sir?"
32225When is it to be? 32225 Where was Porter just then, sir?"
32225Who has a better right than her husband to bestow caresses upon a beautiful and attractive woman?
32225Who is to be married, Elsie?
32225Who more likely than Dick Percival?
32225Who told you, Max, that your father had been a good officer?
32225Why, how was that, Bill?
32225Why, what is the matter?
32225Why, where is he? 32225 Why, who on earth can be going to be married?"
32225Will I do, my dear?
32225Will you give us some music, mother?
32225Will you take it to him and ask him to please read it?
32225Would you, indeed, my dear child?
32225Yes, my boy,was the pleasant toned reply;"and are there any places along its coast that you or any of the others would particularly like to see?"
32225Yes, papa,she returned, putting her arms round his neck and her lips to his in an ardent kiss;"and are you and all the rest?"
32225Yes, papa,she said softly,"I will ask God to help me to do so; and you will pray for me too, wo n''t you?"
32225Yes, sir,said Walter;"but will you please tell what became of Hon- Yost?"
32225Yes, sir; and must I say good- night now to you?
32225Yes,he replied with an amused look;"that is number one, and how many are to follow?"
32225Yes,he said; then turning to Grandma Elsie, asked,"Mother, would you like to stop and visit the forts?"
32225Yes; but do n''t you think it would be well to get some assistance from the rest of us in making your choice?
32225You are going with us, mamma?
32225You have not been to tea?
32225You love him, then?
32225You mean that you would simply give a home here to your cousins?
32225''Well, I suppose you want to hear about that New Orleans affair?''
32225Ah, Christine and Alma,"as the two came hurrying out to greet the returned travellers,"I hope you are well?
32225Ah, Ned, is not that our own orange orchard just coming into view?"
32225And how did my little girl sleep?"
32225And so your cousin, Miss Johnson, is going to be married?"
32225And what is it to have faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ?
32225And where''s your kitten?"
32225And you''ll take Gracie too if she wants to go, wo n''t you?"
32225And-- Oh, Grandma Elsie, you and mamma will help me to think what will be best to get for them, wo n''t you?"
32225Are we here by your consent?
32225Are ye no ashamed to so falsely accuse an auld friend who wad never do harm to you or yours?"
32225But I almost always sleep well, and that is something to be thankful for, is n''t it?"
32225But do tell me, will we pass near enough to Mobile to see those forts?"
32225But oh, might it not be something that would be over before the rest of the family should come home from their drive?
32225But we ca n''t love him so dearly without loving one another; can we?"
32225But you are not going to remain on deck till then?"
32225But,"with another sweeping glance from side to side,"we''re certainly anchored; and where?
32225Butler asked,''Why not?''
32225Ca n''t you, papa?"
32225Can you not send a servant here with a plateful of your most toothsome viands?"
32225Could it have passed around the vessel?
32225Do n''t we, girls?"
32225Do n''t you, Eva and Lu?"
32225Do not you?"
32225Do not you?"
32225Do you approve, papa?"
32225Do you, Lu?"
32225Does it mean the dear Lord Jesus, papa?"
32225Evelyn?
32225Gospel means good news, and what could be better news than that?
32225Have you opened your arms and bid us welcome?
32225How did we get here?
32225How much ought I to give, papa?
32225How soon do we leave Annapolis to pursue our homeward way?"
32225I ca n''t mourn his loss; how could I?
32225I suppose the sooner the better, that we may not be too much hurried with the necessary dressmaking?"
32225If not, why are we here?
32225Just get in here with us, you two, will you not?
32225Lilburn?"
32225Lulu adding,"Papa, are you quite, quite sure you can really spare all this without being-- embarrassed?"
32225Lulu, sitting beside her father, asked in a low aside,"Papa, may I buy a handsome present for Cousin Betty?
32225Lulu?
32225May I take my place alongside of you, Miss Leland?
32225Mildred Keith-- Mrs. Dr. Landreth?
32225Morgan is the name?"
32225Now what else?"
32225Now, what is meant by repentance toward God?
32225Perhaps you would prefer to ride your pony?"
32225Please treat us to some of them to- night, and let us have all before we visit their scenes, wo n''t you?"
32225Shall we establish ourselves there?"
32225Shall we take the babies along?"
32225She has fainted, has she not?"
32225Some folks in papa''s place would have made me fast till my lessons were learned; but he''s such a good, kind father; is n''t he?"
32225The bairns Rosie and Walter, too, are not here; what''s become o''them a'', laddie?
32225The friends and relatives will all be here for some time, mother?"
32225The others exchanged glances of astonishment; then Ella asked in low, terrified tones,"O Art, is she-- is she dead?
32225The view here is lovely, is it not, papa?"
32225Then, with an earnest look into the captain''s face, his own flushing hotly,"You, sare, ish de fader off Mees Lu Raymond?"
32225They too were invited, of course?
32225They''re no ill, I hope?"
32225Were there very many of them killed, papa?"
32225What did he order the people, or the soldiers, to do?"
32225What do you say, girls?"
32225What would I ken o''the folk i''this part o''the world?"
32225Who can have told her?
32225Who was he, Brother Levis?"
32225Will you forgive her and love her still?"
32225Would you, or would you not, expel us if you could?
32225You are not displeased with me, are you?"
32225You know me, dear cousin?
32225You remember what happened there at that time?"
32225and what of that, little sister?"
32225and wo n''t you please do so now?"
32225asked Calhoun;"what does she say?"
32225but why did they never do it before?"
32225called Polly from the sitting room,"what you''bout?
32225cried the boy, ready to dance with delight;"but may I go back to my room for a moment first?
32225exclaimed Adelaide and Calhoun in a breath; for both were standing near;"can it be?"
32225exclaimed Lulu, her eyes flashing;"I hope they did n''t escape punishment for such an outrage as that?"
32225exclaimed Lulu,"were they really frightened in the same way?"
32225he called; then catching sight of the note in her hand,"What oo dot?"
32225inquired Mr. Lilburn gravely,"and would you do me the favor to point him out?"
32225meaning all they might want to use?
32225that God offers us salvation of his free, unmerited grace?
32225the''and so forth''I suppose, meaning milk, cream, butter, and eggs?"
32225what''s that?"
32103Ah, but having been born your child, how can I help it?
32103Ah, do n''t you wish you had?
32103Ah, is courting me such hard work?
32103Ah? 32103 Ah?
32103And Chester has n''t recovered entirely?
32103And I may guess who that is, may I, dearest?
32103And are you willing now to let me be the captain''s daughter?
32103And do n''t you know that having adopted this as my country, I now consider it as truly my ain banner as it is yours?
32103And is that all the story about him?
32103And it will be a delight to get home once more, wo n''t it?
32103And mine is just the same, is it not, papa?
32103And shall we learn lessons in them in school time, papa?
32103And that being the case you are willing to be one of them, Cousin Annis, are you not?
32103And that is the case with you now, is it?
32103And to- night will be Christmas Eve, wo n''t it, papa?
32103And were both highly elated over the happy augury?
32103And what are your directions to me, Captain Raymond? 32103 And when did we get it, grandma?"
32103And when you have Cousin Bob added to all the rest, how do you suppose you are going to stand it?
32103And where are you going in this_ Dolphin_?
32103And who are you and your girl?
32103And you love Max?
32103And you love mamma, too?
32103And you mean to do it?
32103And you prefer it to Viamede?
32103And you will see to it that he does so, Cousin Arthur?
32103And you would n''t want to be a bag of bones, would you?
32103And your experience on shipboard has accustomed you to late hours, I suppose?
32103And, Grandma Elsie, can not you find some use for the stay- at- homes?
32103Annis,she said, turning to her cousin,"can not you and Cousin Ronald go with us?
32103Are n''t Elsie and I to help read them, papa?
32103Are we going in our yacht, papa?
32103Are we? 32103 Are you expecting to take a trip?"
32103Are you very weary, dearest?
32103As to the wedding- dress question-- suppose we send to New Orleans for samples, let Sidney choose from them and order the quantity she wants?
32103Aunt?
32103Brother Max,he queried,"wo n''t you ever have to obey papa any more?"
32103But Frank can be spared from his, I suppose?
32103But de Lawd''s chillens got to be good, mistiss, ai nt dey?
32103But might not you grow tired-- having so much of it?
32103But since we are neighbors and distant connections, and my brother engaged to Miss Lu, you do not absolutely forbid me your house, captain?
32103But the case is not thought to be hopeless?
32103But what has become of those tramps-- the merry men who were going to claim a share of this feast?
32103But when Ucita heard that Ortiz was gone, what did he do about it?
32103But why is Christ called our passover? 32103 But you do n''t think the dear child cares at all for him?"
32103By the way, did Robert Johnson''s bit of news make my daughter and her lover a trifle jealous that their engagement must be so long a one?
32103Ca n''t we send presents to brother Max, papa?
32103Can I have a moment''s chat with you, captain?
32103Can we go all the way in the_ Dolphin_, papa?
32103Can you repeat it for us?
32103Christians, mamma? 32103 Cousin Ronald and brother Max, ca n''t we have some fun there to- day, as well as at the wedding time?"
32103Cousin Ronald, ca n''t you make some fun for us?
32103Did Mocoso stay long? 32103 Did Narvaez do very bad things to the poor Indians, mamma?"
32103Did he and his men stay there in that beautiful valley, Lu?
32103Did he kill her for it?
32103Did it sound like my voice?
32103Did n''t things go off to suit you to- day?
32103Did you ever hear the story of what Emily Geiger did for the good cause?
32103Did you not hear at the time of the marriage of Dr. Johnson''s sister that a ventriloquist was present and made rare sport for the guests?
32103Do n''t you think it would make a pretty wedding, Cousin Vi?
32103Do they intend to go to housekeeping?
32103Do you think the Lord Jesus takes notice that we love him and want to do as he tells us?
32103Do you?
32103Fun, Neddie? 32103 Grace is not up yet?"
32103Grandma, did n''t he and his soldiers camp in the swamps a good deal of the time?
32103Grandma, will it be disturbing if I talk to you and ask some questions?
32103Had Ucita''s mother done anything to Narvaez to make him treat her so?
32103Had they good houses to live in, grandma?
32103Had we not better retrace our steps to the house now?
32103Have not you some preparations to make also, Elsie?
32103Have you forgotten, or do n''t you know yet, how dearly that same little girl loves to be with you?
32103He deserved it for killing Almagro, did n''t he, grandma?
32103He was sometimes called''The swamp Fox,''was he not, papa?
32103His own?
32103How could I help it?
32103How soon are we going, papa?
32103How soon will the_ Dolphin_ be ready, papa?
32103I do not mean to be either, papa,she returned;"and I may always consult you about it, may I not?"
32103I hope they have not been too exacting in their entreaties for such amusement?
32103I hope you will not object, Lu?
32103I presume you have sent or will promptly send word to Frank that his sister is about to marry?
32103I suppose by this time he knows how to manage a vessel almost as well as you do, papa?
32103I think I must have missed one of your letters, father,said Max;"for surely you did not intend to keep me in ignorance of all this?"
32103In regard to what?
32103Is it not lovely?
32103Is it you talking, Cousin Ronald, or is it brother Max?
32103Is n''t that rather insulting, madam?
32103Is that all, grandma?
32103Is that so, Polly? 32103 Is that so, cousin?"
32103It is on an island, is it not?
32103Lutherans?
32103My dear, does it not make you tremble with apprehension lest those two weddings should take place somewhat sooner than you wish?
32103Neddie, shall I help you? 32103 No matter which, laddie,"said the old gentleman;"and who shall say it has n''t been both of us?"
32103No, dear,was the smiling reply,"but what is it that you wish to hear from me?"
32103No, ma''am; wo n''t you please tell it?
32103Nor did I,said a rough man''s voice,"What are you doing here, you young rascal?
32103Now, Cousin Ronald,he exclaimed, turning to Mr. Lilburn,"do n''t you think it is the very prettiest flag that floats?"
32103Now, Ned, do you call that polite?
32103Of course; who''s afraid?
32103Oh, Cousin Ronald,exclaimed Elsie,"ca n''t you make some fun at the wedding, as you did when Cousin Betty was married?
32103Oh, Dick, dear fellow, are you still unable to move about?
32103Oh, Lu,said Grace as she pulled down her hair before the glass,"have n''t we the best and dearest father in the world?
32103Oh, are you?
32103Oh, by the way, why should n''t we have a triple wedding?
32103Oh, do you, brother Max?
32103Oh, doctah, sah, is you bad hurted?
32103Oh, is he very ill?
32103Oh, what was that?
32103Oh,cried Ned,"wo n''t they catch that fellow who just ran round to the kitchen as I told him to?"
32103Papa, am I so very fat?
32103Papa, ca n''t we keep right on now to Florida?
32103Papa,said Elsie,"it''s a dreadful place, and very, very old, is n''t it?"
32103Saved your life, Lu? 32103 Shall I go and tell Max and Lu that you are ready?"
32103Shall we join the others in the parlor now? 32103 Should n''t you?"
32103So since that she has been a part of our Union like the rest of our States; has n''t she, grandma?
32103That bird you are eating looks good,said the same voice;"could n''t you spare me a leg?"
32103That means the winter time, I suppose?
32103The three of us, Harold? 32103 Then the fighting stopped, I suppose?"
32103Then we wo n''t stop at all of them, I suppose,remarked Ned sagely;"only at the big ones, wo n''t we, papa?"
32103There will still be a vacant seat,said Grandma Elsie,"will you not go with us also, Grace?
32103To stay long?
32103Wait a minute and tell us who you are before you go,called out Eric Leland, and from the tree came the owl''s"Who, who, who?"
32103Was it you did that, brother Max?
32103Was n''t Jacksonville formerly known by another name, captain?
32103We will call at Jacksonville, I suppose, father?
32103Well, and what of that, youngster? 32103 Were you ever there, papa?"
32103What do you say to going North with us, if Captain Raymond should give you and Maud an invitation to take passage in his yacht?
32103What do you say, captain, to taking your family down there for a few weeks?
32103What do you think of Maud''s proposition, Eva?
32103What do you want from Santa Claus, papa?
32103What is it, Harold?
32103What is it, papa?
32103What is it?
32103What is wanted?
32103What''s the matter with you, Frank?
32103Where are Elsie and Ned?
32103Who I am?
32103Who is it, papa?
32103Who, who, who?
32103Why do n''t you look and see?
32103Why not ask Max instead of me?
32103Why, Lu, what could it have been?
32103Why, do n''t you know me?
32103Why, it''s real, is n''t it?
32103Why, son, have I ever done that?
32103Why, where is the bird?
32103Why-- why, Max, what do you mean by calling me that?
32103Will Chester be over here this morning, Lu?
32103Will that be enough, do you think?
32103Will you go in first, father? 32103 Will you take us in the yacht, my dear?"
32103Wo n''t you take me along?
32103Wo n''t you take this other one by her side, my love? 32103 Won''you pray de good Lawd for dis ole darky, mistiss?"
32103Would n''t you be willing to make haste quickly in this instance, dearest?
32103Yes, daughter dear, but do you expect to escape entirely from that last when you marry?
32103Yes, mamma, and you will join us, will you not? 32103 Yes, papa; was n''t it odd that Eva and I happened to catch it together?"
32103Yes,said his father, then asked,"Are you well up in the history of Florida, my son?"
32103Yes; what do you suppose they contain?
32103Yes? 32103 Yet what?"
32103You are satisfied with me, father?
32103You do not think Aunt Silvy really a dying woman, Harold?
32103You have hardly sent out your invitations yet?
32103You remember the anger of the burglar whom you and I testified against some years ago, and his threat to be revenged on me?
32103You think it takes the two of us, do you?
32103You will let us go, papa, wo n''t you?
32103''Are there no other lands to be robbed, no other people to be made miserable?
32103''Surely, general,''he said,''this can not be your ordinary fare?''
32103''Why do you still remain in my country?''
32103About how long ago was that?"
32103Addressing him, Ferguson said,''You are Colonel Horry, I presume, sir?''
32103Am I not that still as truly as I ever was?"
32103And he attacked you?"
32103And he has told you of it?"
32103And shall I call you Max, as of old?"
32103And she wo n''t consent?"
32103And you too, brother Levis?"
32103And you will not even allow her to enter into an engagement?"
32103And, Lu, how soon do you expect to follow suit and give her the right to call you sister?"
32103Are we all angels to- day?"
32103Are you not afraid, Chester,"turning to him,"that one of these days she may prove too independent for you?"
32103As she ceased, Cousin Ronald, who had drawn near, joined in the exercise, repeating the text,"''What shall we say then?
32103At that a loud guffaw right at his ear made the little boy jump with an outcry,"Oh, who was that?"
32103But can you hold that relationship to my father and to me at the same time?"
32103But have they no children?"
32103But how shall we manage it?
32103But that''s martial music, and now,"as another sound met the ear,"do n''t you hear the tramp, tramp?"
32103But what will you and Elsie do while we older people are shopping?"
32103But who or what can have called them out?"
32103But,"she added thoughtfully,"there are several sounds going on at once; could he make them all, do you think?"
32103By the way, your father has a good deal of taste in the line of ladies''dress, has he not?"
32103Ca n''t we help him out?"
32103Can you give me a text that teaches it, Chester?"
32103Did Marion live long after the war was over?"
32103Do n''t you think so, brother Max?"
32103Do n''t you think so?"
32103Do n''t you?"
32103Do you all like the plan?"
32103Do you remember, Elsie, what they called it, and what they did there?"
32103Do you, Elsie and Ned, want to be of the party?"
32103Do you?"
32103Does anybody feel inclined to go there and attend to the matter?"
32103Dr. Percival,"turning in his host''s direction and raising his voice,"can you account for that martial music playing a moment since?"
32103Grandma Elsie paused as if she had finished her narration and Ned exclaimed,"Oh, that is n''t all, grandma, is it?"
32103Has anything happened?
32103Have we not been careful to bring along with us one of the very physicians who have had charge of Chester''s case?"
32103Have you and Grace decided upon any particular articles that you would like to give?"
32103Have you not yet forgiven that act of indiscretion?"
32103I hope that does not mean that these are not happy days?"
32103I think I shall accept his and Vi''s invitation to stay to that meal; as you will, will you not?"
32103I trust Chester is inclined to wait patiently until the right time comes?"
32103I''m falsely accused and who knows but they may shoot me down on sight?"
32103I''se in pow''ful big hurry to git dem dere fore----""Here,"called the voice of Harold from an upper window;"is it I that am wanted?
32103Is any one ill there?"
32103Is n''t it, Lu?"
32103Is that not so, papa?"
32103It is a very modest request,"was the kindly- toned response,"What can I do for you?"
32103It was a pretty one; was n''t it?
32103It''s Grace Raymond you''re after, eh?
32103Jesus said,''Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?
32103Motte''s?"
32103Oh, Elsie, are n''t you glad?"
32103Oh, how could I ever have borne that?"
32103Oh, papa, may I open it?"
32103Please, sah, where de doctahs?
32103Shall I lift the lid for you?"
32103Shall I never, never escape?"
32103Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?...
32103Shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace?
32103She complained of misery in her head, misery in her back, and being"pow''ful weak,"finishing up with the query,"Is I gwine die dis day, suh?"
32103She rose and went to him, asking in kindly inquiring tone,"What is it, Uncle Joe?"
32103Sisters Lu and Gracie too?"
32103The captain paused in his narrative and Elsie asked,"Then did the Spaniards let the Indians have their own country in peace, papa?"
32103Then Elsie asked:"Are you going too, mamma?
32103Then turning to Lucilla:"You will tell us the story of the Princess Xualla, will you not?"
32103They were silent for a moment, then she asked,"Where are we now, papa?
32103Violet answered,"What is it, mother?"
32103Was it you, Cousin Ronald?
32103Was n''t it at that feast that he instituted what we call the Lord''s Supper?"
32103What Christians?"
32103What could have exceeded the kindness of Cousins Harold and Herbert-- Cousin Arthur Conly, too-- when you were so ill?
32103What do you think of it, my boy?"
32103What would you like it to be?"
32103Will you please tell us why it was kept and why they called it that?"
32103Would there be any objection to having''Old Glory''set waving from the tree tops to- day?"
32103and did they harm him, mamma?"
32103and how did you come in here?"
32103and to what port bound as the first?"
32103and what but his love for you makes him so unwilling to give you up to Chester?
32103and will you let Max tell them of his good fortune?
32103are n''t you glad?"
32103are you willing to eat of a fowl that can scream out so much like a human creature?"
32103but may n''t I ride him about here a while just now, so as to be sure I''ll know how to manage him on the road?"
32103ca n''t Elsie and I go along with the rest of you to New Orleans to- morrow?"
32103came aboard to steal, did you?"
32103do you know what it is?"
32103have you a good joke for us?"
32103is that so, Max?
32103is you uns one ob de doctahs?"
32103must you live on fun all the time?"
32103or am I to be left entirely to my own devices?"
32103or is anything out of the usual course of events likely to happen?"
32103or is it professional jealousy?
32103or was it brother Max?"
32103she cried,"is it for me, papa?"
32103they asked as they drew near,"time to go home?"
32103were they going to burn him to death?"
32103who are you?
17496A husband, do you mean? 17496 A large house, is n''t it?"
17496A wedding dress? 17496 Ah, mamma, but the question with me is, is he really my God?
17496Ah, what was that?
17496And I am not? 17496 And Mrs. Travilla lives here with her daughter?"
17496And after that he seemed to you to grow younger, did he not, mamma?
17496And do n''t want me to give you away?
17496And having none left to be a care and trouble, eh?
17496And how is it with you, my love?
17496And if there is anything you want answered on the typewriter you will let me do it at once, wo n''t you, papa?
17496And now, Elsie, can you think of some others?
17496And that, you think, makes a difference, eh?
17496And to be a Christian is to love Jesus and try to be like him and serve him everywhere and all the time?
17496And we are all very glad to see you at home among us again-- I must not say little brother, according to former custom, I suppose?
17496And what did the farmer say when he came back for his basket and found it empty?
17496And what shall I say?
17496And would you like to buy some gifts for Aunt Rosie, too?
17496And y''ll all help me, too, wo n''t you?
17496And you are all ready to go down now, are you not?
17496And you are not anxious that he should?
17496And you like this one better? 17496 And you want Marian to have time to get well, too, do n''t you?"
17496And you were not sorry you went?
17496And you will want ushers? 17496 And you wish him to select the subject?"
17496Are we?
17496Are you not afraid my father will make me miserably conceited-- giving me so much more commendation than I deserve?
17496Are you?
17496At Viamede? 17496 Both at once?"
17496But do you never feel as if you would like to have a life companion, such as Maud was given to- day?
17496But how, papa? 17496 But is she so bad as that?"
17496But it is n''t wrong to like to be tastefully dressed, is it, mamma?
17496But now I think it is time for us to retire; do not you?
17496But we do not need to decide until we see the things, do we, papa?
17496But what about? 17496 But, missus, Miss Elsie she tole me for to ax you could you take somethin''mo''?"
17496Can I not help the dear girl in some way?
17496Come in, wo n''t you, if it is for only five minutes?
17496Did Rosie go?
17496Did anybody do anything very bad to you, Walter?
17496Did he let you take part in any of the games?
17496Did n''t you say you had some letters to write when you came home, papa?
17496Did they expect to marry very soon?
17496Did you have a hand in that?
17496Do n''t you want to take him up, papa, and let Cousin Elsie have a better look at him?
17496Do you not say so too, Mamma Vi?
17496Does it strike you as very silly, Gracie?
17496Does n''t it seem pleasant to be at home again, Walter?
17496Driver,she called,"are we ever going to arrive at Fairview?"
17496Elsie and I are to go, are n''t we?
17496Father, will Mr. Croly be any relation to us after he gets married to Aunt Rosie?
17496For Ned and me too, papa?
17496For instance, are not you and I great friends?
17496From you?
17496Have they heard the news at Beechwood yet?
17496Have you fixed upon the wedding day yet, Rosie?
17496How long had they been lovers?
17496How soon do we go, papa?
17496How would you and Grace like to have your friends Eva and Sydney here for a few days, daughter?
17496I hope you are not too busy to come, Rosie?
17496Is Elsie going with you to- day, papa? 17496 Is it you, Evelyn?"
17496Is she, papa?
17496Is that all, father?
17496Is that all? 17496 It is to be an afternoon party, I suppose?"
17496Levis, my dear, do you refuse to tell her what to do or say?
17496Lu, do you know if Rosie sent off those important letters this morning?
17496Maud, dear,he said presently,"we have given ourselves to each other, and why should we delay the final step?
17496May I do it on the typewriter?
17496May I offer a suggestion?
17496Meaning Neddie himself and Elsie, papa?
17496Mother; oh, mother, can it be you?
17496My dear,said the doctor,"can you suppose I object to having my wife praised?
17496My niece and my cousin, and both bearing mamma''s name; about the same size, too; would it not be pretty?
17496Now, papa, have you forgotten that you are to take Mamma Vi, Gracie, and me into the city to do some shopping?
17496Now, what kind of a time did you all have staying at home without me?
17496Of course you have not yet heard from your friends, the Crolys?
17496Oh, Rosie, you here? 17496 Oh, papa, you will let me act as one of the bridesmaids, will you not?"
17496Oh, why did you let Captain Keith talk to me of-- of love, when you have so often told me I was much too young to even think of such things?
17496Oh, you will let us, mamma-- you and Cousin Vi-- won''t you?
17496Papa, do n''t you think I might make myself of use helping her with the nursing?
17496Papa, does everybody have to die?
17496Papa, why do n''t you do such things for us sometimes?
17496Papa,asked Neddie, when there was a pause in the reading,"what is godliness?
17496Please let me do it now, papa?
17496Riverside is the name of the estate?
17496Scip( to a servant in waiting),"is the mail bag on the library table?"
17496She says Aunt Elsie wants to know could you eat something more, mother dear?
17496She would be safer there, would she not?
17496Should you like to do that, daughter?
17496So you, too, are in haste?
17496Something that I have done twice? 17496 Thank you; but suppose I have come intending to stay longer than that?
17496That is well,she said with a smile,"but I meant can you go North with us?"
17496That when I am the person under discussion no greater flatterers can be found than my wife and older daughters?
17496The children seem to be tired,remarked Violet;"do you not think they might as well go at once to their beds, my dear?"
17496The little girls and boys too, papa?
17496The resurrection is the subject?
17496Then if I am right about Donald and he asks your permission to make an offer to Lu, you will forbid him to do so?
17496Then what place would you prefer, mother?
17496Then why not decide to do so?
17496Then you have n''t lost all your love for your mother in our years of separation?
17496Then, papa, wo n''t you excuse Gracie and me from lessons for the next few days?
17496There is no hurry about that, and is n''t that your supper bell I hear?
17496These words of Jesus,she said,"''I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you,''are they not words to be thankful for?"
17496To the family council, mother? 17496 To- day will suit me as well as to- morrow; but why have papa and mamma changed their plans?"
17496We''ll wear these dresses to Ion to- night, wo n''t we, mamma?
17496Well, little-- no, young brother-- I hope the old tutor has not been entirely forgotten, in admiration and affection for the new?
17496Were you boys together, father?
17496What can be more comforting than the presence of the Master? 17496 What do you say to that, Gracie?"
17496What do you say to that, mamma?
17496What is it, Doc?
17496What preparation do you need?
17496What was there to wait for? 17496 Where you are very happy; are you not?"
17496Who can she be?
17496Who would be in haste to leave such a home and mother as mine? 17496 Whose are they?
17496Will the resurrection be of all the dead, Grace? 17496 Will there be time for a call at Beechwood, Harold?"
17496Will you give her to me? 17496 Will you go up with us, Harold?"
17496Will you not lead us to- day, mother?
17496Wo n''t you alight and take a seat among us, doctor?
17496Would n''t it be well for us all to go into the city to- morrow, see what we can find there to suit us, and order other things sent for?
17496Yes, and I begin to feel as if I might enjoy it right well if----"If what, daughter?
17496Yes, mamma, but-- you do not want to disappoint Will, do you? 17496 Yes,"said Elsie,"but, as everybody knows it, what''s the use of telling it?"
17496Yes; it would hardly do for me to wait longer than that; but what is the use of waiting? 17496 You are sure you do n''t want to leave yours?"
17496You do n''t? 17496 You do n''t?"
17496You found the Sophs rather domineering, did n''t you?
17496You prefer lying awake, racked with that distressing cough?
17496You will be coming home soon, mother?
17496You will be married in church?
17496You will both stay to dinner, wo n''t you?
17496You will not keep my daughter out very late?
17496You will want a grand one?
17496You will wear yours to the picnic to- morrow, I suppose, Lu?
17496You would prefer my doing so?
17496Your uncle''s children?
17496Your wedding dress, Elsie? 17496 A moment''s silence followed; then Keith, turning to Dick, said:I presume you and I are of about the same age, doctor?"
17496Am I asking too much in begging you to let me speak now-- before I go?
17496And do n''t you think papa likes to have us all nicely dressed?"
17496And he did try?"
17496And how soon do you think that may be, doctor?"
17496And is the wedding to come off soon, cousin?"
17496And now must I answer Chester''s note-- or will you do it for me?"
17496And will he teach me how to do it, too?"
17496Are there some letters to be answered on the typewriter?"
17496Are you going?"
17496Are you willing to take me for a brother?"
17496At the breakfast table the next morning Walter asked:"Where are we going to spend our summer?
17496But do you think I have any reason to hope to win her-- that she likes me in the very least?"
17496But does the dress fit you, Maud?"
17496But how did you get it up so quickly?"
17496But what is the time proposed by Will?"
17496But when should we give thanks, Walter?"
17496By the way, where are Cousin Ella and her little ones?"
17496By the way, you have never been down there, have you?"
17496Ca n''t you give me your love-- at least a little of it?"
17496Ca n''t you love me in the same way-- as something nearer and dearer than a mere cousin?"
17496Can I have a voice in the subject, whatever it is?"
17496Can we be going to have a visitor this stormy day?"
17496Can you find it in your heart to refuse me the favour I ask, sweet one?"
17496Can you give us one, mother?"
17496Can you go, Herbert?"
17496Can you?
17496Did n''t you, Lu?"
17496Do n''t you hope that will be the way with you if you have to give any of yours up to somebody else?"
17496Do n''t you think it must be?"
17496Do n''t you think so, mamma?"
17496Do n''t you think, my dear, that we might do the shopping to- morrow?"
17496Do n''t you?"
17496Do they not expect to settle somewhere in this region, cousin?"
17496Do you mean to tell him about them and show them to him beforehand?"
17496Do you remember the talk we had some years ago at West Point?"
17496Does it mean the same as being a Christian?"
17496Father, how much may I spend on one?"
17496Gracie, you will be one of the bridesmaids, will you not?"
17496Have you had any talk with him on the subject?"
17496How shall I make sure of that?"
17496I do not want to go back to my home alone; will you not go with me?
17496I hope my bridegroom approves?"
17496I hope you and Miss Lucilla are both quite well?"
17496I hope you have come to spend the day?"
17496I suppose you and your package will be ready to be taken along, Maud?"
17496Indeed, why should we care to have much of that which may at any moment fall from our grasp?
17496Is n''t it time to be thinking about it?"
17496Is the vexing question as to the colour and material of the wedding gown?"
17496It wo n''t take you long to get ready, will it?"
17496Kin o''yourn and expecting ye, I s''pose?"
17496Lu and Grace, you will want white silk dresses, wo n''t you?"
17496Mamma, you will help me to choose my present, wo n''t you?"
17496May we?
17496Neddie, my boy, can you tell papa something you have to be thankful for?"
17496No one spoke again for a moment; then Violet broke the silence by asking,"How many do you think of having, Rosie?"
17496Of course you have n''t forgotten Uncle Walter in the long months since we parted in Paradise Valley?"
17496Papa, do n''t you think she might make a nice wife for Captain Keith, if only they should take a fancy to each other?"
17496Shall I fotch it hyar?"
17496Shall I never be done with it?"
17496Shall we not follow Rosie''s good example in making no secret of our engagement; at least so far as our own people here assembled are concerned?
17496Taking her in his arms and looking searchingly into her eyes,"Is there anything wrong with you-- anything troubling you, daughter?"
17496Tell me, are all your wants supplied?"
17496Then Mr. Dinsmore asked,"What do you propose to call the lad?"
17496Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be?
17496Travilla?"
17496Were you waiting to see Arthur?
17496What can that be?"
17496What is that Cousin Ronald is saying?"
17496When and where did you get that beautiful dress and veil?
17496When did you make up your minds to get married?"
17496Where did they come from, Cousin Elsie?"
17496Who is going to be married now?"
17496Whose were they?
17496Why, who can she be?"
17496Will our father, Mamma Vi, Elsie, and Ned come up presently and see what they think of our appearance in them?"
17496Will you invite the girls, papa?"
17496Will you let me take you back to the house now and introduce you there as my promised wife?"
17496Will you not let me hope for that?"
17496Will you please read it?"
17496Will you please read it?"
17496Will you take us?"
17496Wo n''t it seem a trifle hard to her to have to stay at home while her sister and the rest of us are having such a good time?"
17496Would not that be the better plan, mother?"
17496Would you recommend single blessedness-- you who have twice tried laying hold of the other horn of the dilemma?"
17496You are looking well and have no need of a doctor, I suppose?"
17496You did n''t want me to say yes, father?"
17496You will not tell her, Levis?"
17496You will want your own dress of some rich white material, I suppose?"
17496You''ll be one, Lu, wo n''t you?
17496am I his?--truly one of his redeemed ones, his adopted children?
17496and I suppose we will be dressed alike, wo n''t we?"
17496and am I?"
17496and the veil that goes with it?"
17496and your mother has taken up the practice of medicine, has she?"
17496as long as mamma does, for instance?"
17496both cried delightedly, Ned adding:"I s''pose it''s for us to buy something for Aunt Rosie with; is n''t it, papa?"
17496both exclaimed joyously, Grace adding,"But wo n''t you please tell us, papa, just how much we may spend?"
17496ca n''t you understand that I love you and want you for my wife, my best, nearest, and dearest friend, my heart''s idol?
17496can it be that he is displeased with me about anything?
17496cried Elsie, who had drawn near enough to overhear nearly all that had been said,"may n''t I try my wedding dress on, too?
17496cried Ned at this moment, running toward them,"did n''t you hear the telephone bell?
17496cried Rosie, drawing a long breath and lifting her hands with a gesture of alarm and despair;"what shall I do?
17496do you really care so much for me and my love-- really love me in that way?"
17496has he been here long?"
17496has he told you so, my love?"
17496how can you?"
17496is she also to be a bridesmaid?"
17496is that because they are so much handsomer to begin with?"
17496is that the way you do when you are taking note of a patient''s pulse, or the time for administering a dose of medicine?"
17496may I have so much as that for it?
17496only to believe in Jesus?"
17496or my son, even at his father''s expense?"
17496said Evelyn presently,"did n''t you tell me you were going into the city to- morrow to do some shopping?"
17496she asked;"and ca n''t I help you?"
17496she exclaimed, her tone expressing surprise and a little bewilderment,"are you staying there?"
17496she exclaimed,"you, Cousin Dick?
17496surely you are not in earnest?
17496surely you know that I was not?"
17496the wicked as well as the righteous?"
17496there were letters to be answered?"
17496upon what is my valuable opinion desired, mother?"
17496was that it?
17496what difference need that make?"
17496what is it, Keith?
17496what is that?"
17496where did they come from?"
17496who are those two ladies approaching on the driveway?"
17496would n''t I?
17496you never do?"
17496you surely are not thinking of such a thing?
17496you want me to become your housekeeper?"
46010''But, what then do you think they will do, Herr Ernesti?'' 46010 ''Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,''"quoted Walter,"and we need to be careful to exercise that, do n''t we, grandpa?"
46010Ah, you fear to trust me to do the work without the supervision of my capable young wife?
46010Ah? 46010 All by himself, papa, when it was just getting dark, too?"
46010And Hull meekly surrendered without any more ado?
46010And belong to you, papa? 46010 And can you not go to your berth for some hours''rest and sleep when you have finished your breakfast, my dear?"
46010And did Heald actually disregard such a warning as that?
46010And did the Americans go on chasing the British, papa?
46010And did the other officers submit to him then, Grandma Elsie?
46010And did they kill him and scalp him, papa?
46010And have not found it a nearly unendurable trial, I hope, Aunt Annis?
46010And he left the income of his property here to be used in educating students of Yale College, did he not?
46010And how is it with my dear eldest daughter?
46010And how wide is the river where they are, papa?
46010And now I wonder if my pupils can tell us most of the history of that city?
46010And that is the end of your sad little story, is it?
46010And that was the picture that we saw to- day, grandma?
46010And the American officers and men got nothing for their long chase, papa?
46010And there are a good many stories connected with them, are there not, papa?
46010And they did n''t let the Indians kill anybody, papa?
46010And they have kept it ever since?
46010And we shall have our usual service in the morning; we younger ones a Bible lesson with papa in the afternoon, wo n''t we?
46010And what became of the brave Proctor, papa?
46010And what did you see there?
46010And you would rather be living now, would n''t you, daughter?
46010Are we going to stop at any of them, papa?
46010Are we going to stop there, sir?
46010Are you feeling very tired, daughter?
46010As you are a pupil of mine, will you not let me count you as one of my family?
46010Bad doings of the British and Indians, grandma?
46010Beginning with the war of 1812, I suppose, as we have already gone over the story of the doings of Pontiac?
46010But I presume I may hope to come again some day?
46010But ca n''t you go to your berth now and take some hours of rest and sleep, papa, dear?
46010But did any of the British people disapprove of the employment of the Indians in the war of 1812, grandpa?
46010But did n''t he forbid you to try going on deck again before the wind dies down?
46010But how do you know it?
46010But it was n''t really true?
46010But oh, have n''t you been up all night? 46010 But that was n''t the worst for poor General Hull, was it, papa?"
46010But the sixteen who were brought ashore, did they live?
46010But there was a fort, was there not, papa?
46010But what became of Allen finally, papa? 46010 But what did he do with the boats, papa?"
46010But what was it he wanted of Perry?
46010But where did you learn all this, Molly?
46010But why did n''t he say what he meant, papa?
46010But you had a papa? 46010 But, to change the subject; there is a good deal that is interesting to be seen about here, is there not?"
46010By the way, I wonder where our bride and groom are by this time? 46010 Ca n''t you trust me to oversee and assist these younger folks?
46010Ca n''t you, Lu?
46010Camels, papa?
46010Can not I do that, mamma?
46010Cavalry?
46010Could n''t you give us all the same privilege, sir?
46010Daughter,he said in tender tones,"are you not forgetting these sweet words of Holy Writ:''He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life?''
46010Did M''Arthur do that way too, papa?
46010Did he deny it?
46010Did he do it, papa?
46010Did he kill people?
46010Did he name this Paradise Valley?
46010Did it become a large city very quickly, papa?
46010Did n''t the French people want to have the English king to be theirs too, grandma?
46010Did n''t they stop to rest a while, papa?
46010Did our soldiers like to go back without fighting the British first, papa?
46010Did the British go away too, papa?
46010Did they overtake her?
46010Did you say French folks live there, grandma?
46010Do n''t you suppose, papa, this eagle may have been the very same?
46010Do n''t you think so, father?
46010Do n''t you think we ought to love dear papa and do all we can to make him happy?
46010Do they belong to our country or to Canada, papa? 46010 Do they think we are about to cross the ocean?"
46010Do you not see that we are hurrying onward in that direction?
46010Do you see anything of His image in me, papa?
46010Do you think we are going to have a hard storm, papa?
46010Do you want company or prefer to go alone?
46010Do you?
46010Does God say that, Uncle Walter?
46010Doubt your dear love, mother? 46010 Folks,"he cried,"do you know that it is clearing off?
46010Grandma, wo n''t you please tell us now about things that have happened at Montreal and Quebec?
46010Had he taken the enemy''s vessels?
46010Had the British got Captain Brush with the soldiers and provisions, papa?
46010Has it ever been seen in this country, grandpa?
46010Have n''t you found out that for years it has been-- almost always just a pleasure to me to obey you?
46010Have you any doubt that you are mine?
46010Her baby? 46010 How about submission to despotism, Gracie?"
46010How about that, Neddie, my boy?
46010How and where do you want to go?
46010How can you suppose that any of us would be willing to see Max?
46010How could he see to row his boat?
46010How long did the British keep possession of Detroit, papa?
46010How many islands are there in the group, papa?
46010How would it do for grandma to take your papa''s place and tell you the story?
46010I was asking myself, as I have many times since my narrow escape of yesterday morning, Was I ready for heaven? 46010 In Venezuela''s exhibit?
46010Is it bad men that fight, grandma?
46010Is it not about time we were seeking our night''s lodgings?
46010Is it quite certain that he did?
46010Is that all of it there is now, grandma?
46010Is there a story about him, papa?
46010Is there a story to it?
46010Is there anything to be seen there-- on Tonomy Hill-- but the ruin of the little fortification?
46010It is an Indian name the island bears, is it not, captain?
46010It would have been even worse than rendering obedience to Captain Raymond has sometimes proved, eh?
46010Just to ride there, grandma?
46010Machines for making ice cream and candy would interest you, would n''t they?
46010Mamma, shall you and I walk together?
46010May I help, papa?
46010Me too, papa?
46010Montgomery''s death alone was a great loss to our country, was it not, papa?
46010My dear papa looks so tired, mamma,remarked little Elsie in regretful tones,"what has he been doing?"
46010Now,said Captain Raymond,"will any or all of you take a sail in the_ Dolphin_?
46010Of what kind? 46010 Oh, are you going to tell us the story of that picture I asked you about, grandma?"
46010Oh, did the man die too, grandma?
46010Oh, have you brought a carriage for us, papa?
46010Oh, is Max in Annapolis now?
46010Oh, papa, did n''t General Montgomery come to Montreal some time after the events you have been telling of?
46010Oh, papa, the truth is n''t flattery, is it?
46010Oh, then we can go up on deck, ca n''t we, grandpa?
46010Oh, was n''t he a very, very bad man, grandpa?
46010Oh, where are we, papa?
46010On which side is your vote to be cast, Violet, my dear?
46010Papa, did he get well and go back and fight some more?
46010Papa, is it not the largest city of Lower Canada?
46010Papa, was he ever here?
46010Papa,asked Grace,"how long did that battle of Lake Erie last?"
46010Papa,said Elsie,"who was he?
46010Papa,she asked,"had the British got their guns all ready to fire at the Americans when Colonel Miller and his men got back to Detroit?
46010Perry had difficulty in getting his vessels over the bar, had he not, sir?
46010Pizarro? 46010 Stowaways?"
46010Tecumseh with the rest, papa?
46010That includes your four children, I suppose, papa?
46010That was before our Revolution, was n''t it, grandma?
46010The English were unsuccessful at first, if I remember right, mamma?
46010The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 46010 The capture of Mackinaw was a great loss to our country, was it not, father?"
46010The harbor is considered a fine one, is it not?
46010The one the British took in that war you told about, papa?
46010The uncle he is expecting to visit there is a brother of Cousin Annis, is he not?
46010The whole American army was not taken, if I remember right, papa?
46010Then the British could n''t get in to harm the folks, could they, papa?
46010Then we wo n''t stop at all of them?
46010There are a great many fine grapes raised here, are there not?
46010There is not nearly so much to be seen here as in Quebec, is there, papa?
46010There, do you hear, sir? 46010 They did n''t see you, sir?"
46010This wide expanse of water can not be the Welland Canal?
46010Those Sand Hills from behind which the Pottawatomies fired upon the whites are quite gone now, are they not, papa?
46010To the tongue of which of the Indian tribes does the name belong, sir?
46010Was Fort Dearborn strong and well built, mamma?
46010Was Major Denny still on the Canadian side, captain?
46010Was anybody hurt in either fight, papa?
46010Was he buried there-- in Canada?
46010Was he not the same Prescott who had command of the British troops in Rhode Island some two years later?
46010Was n''t it?
46010Was n''t that a bad, swearing word, grandma?
46010Was the British soldier that fired it named John Bull?
46010We are going to drive, are we, papa?
46010We will reach Detroit early this evening, I suppose, Brother Levis?
46010Well, Lu, have you had a good time since I left you?
46010Well, mamma and you girls, how shall we pass the morning? 46010 Well, my dear, what of what?"
46010Well, what is to be done to- day?
46010Were not the British still in possession of Detroit, papa?
46010Were the Kinzies with them?
46010Were there many killed in that battle, papa?
46010Were they shut up in jail, papa?
46010What did they mean by that, papa?
46010What is it, daughter? 46010 What is the name of that little island lying at the mouth of the bay, captain?"
46010What makes it look so white, papa?
46010What makes men fight so, grandma?
46010What picture was that?
46010What sort of condition would this country be in now had not our ancestors waged those two wars with Great Britain?
46010What''s desert, grandma, to run away without leave?
46010What, crying, Gracie darling?
46010When my papa wakes up?
46010When the flood was over?
46010Where have you two been? 46010 Where is Walter, mamma?"
46010Where is it, papa?
46010Where is that, and what particular claim has it upon our attention?
46010Where is that?
46010Where is the house he lived in?
46010Who killed him, papa?
46010Who was he?
46010Why did he, Lu?
46010Why this any more than the_ ignis fatuus_?
46010Why was it called by that dreadful name-- Bloody Bridge, papa?
46010Why, Rosie, do you think I could be such a goose as to attempt anything so foolhardy as that, when nothing was to be gained by it?
46010Why, how much are those coins worth in our money?
46010Why, that''s what we call Englishmen, do n''t you know?
46010Will we get there to- day, papa?
46010With a great many soldiers, Uncle Wal?
46010Would mine answer that description?
46010Yes, papa, but----"But what, daughter?
46010You visited Viamede some time ago, I remember, sir?
46010You will hardly make another stop in this part of Her Majesty''s dominions, captain, but go directly home, I presume?
46010''What?
46010And did n''t he discover the Gulf and River St. Lawrence?
46010And how would it be possible to do all that while struggling for your life?"
46010And you kept our counsel?"
46010Are n''t we, papa?"
46010As our stay is likely to be so short, I think, do not you, it will be best to unpack only such things as we are pretty sure to want while here?"
46010At that the light came back into the dim eyes of the dying hero and he asked,''Who run?''
46010But are not most of the ignorant and vicious those who have come in from foreign lands?"
46010But what did the silence mean?
46010But what say you, Annis, my bonny bride?"
46010But where is papa?
46010But why not send for your baggage and go on home with us?
46010But you do not think there is much if any danger, do you, papa?"
46010By the way, Brother Levis, was there not an attempt made by our troops, later on in the war, to repossess Mackinaw?"
46010By what law?
46010Can not I have and enjoy you both at once?"
46010Can you tell me the meaning of the name Detroit, Elsie, daughter?"
46010Do you not remember my telling you about it?"
46010Do you think he was really a coward and so very much to blame, papa?"
46010Do you think we might call there without seeming to intrude?"
46010Grace asked, as they neared them;"and to which State do they belong?"
46010Grandma Elsie, do n''t you want to tell us the whole story?"
46010Grandma, have n''t you another little story to tell us?"
46010Has he been up all night?"
46010Have we accepted His offered salvation and given ourselves entirely to Him?
46010Have we been to all the places of interest now?"
46010He had been wounded badly, and his horse shot under him, when he asked her,''Do you think they will take our lives?''
46010He jumped aside, shaking himself free, as well as he might, from the dust and rubbish, and exclaiming:''What de debble you doin''up dar?''
46010He turned quickly, asking,"And you are one of them?"
46010He was disabled and said to his friend, Dr. Theobald, one of his staff, fighting near him,''I am severely wounded: where shall I go?''
46010Is it not so?"
46010Is it that you are mourning for your friends lost in battle?
46010Is it, my dear?"
46010Mrs. Travilla explained, adding,"I suppose you have no objection to my redeeming my promise?"
46010Of course you all know and remember what were the causes of that second struggle with our mother country?"
46010Of what are you thinking?"
46010Of works?
46010Oh, father, can anyone be saved without time to think and repent of every wrong thought and feeling, and asking God''s forgiveness for it?
46010Oh, what can we do?"
46010Or is it that you are fasting?
46010Papa, are we going directly home now?"
46010Papa, how can I know it?"
46010Shall we not assign their use to your mother, grandparents, and the Lilburn cousins?"
46010Shall we not have our evening worship together and then retire to rest?
46010She ceased, and Walter went on:"''Where is boasting then?
46010That would be very selfish, would it not?"
46010The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"''
46010The one important question is, are we really His?
46010Then her husband took it up:"''What shall we say then?
46010Then in a lower, livelier tone,"Mamma, are you not proud of your husband?
46010We will go to see it, papa, will we not?"
46010What could I ever do without my dear, big sister?"
46010What do you all say to the proposition?"
46010Where is that?"
46010Wherefore?
46010Why have you blackened your faces?
46010Would I have gone there if I had been drowned without time to think and prepare to meet my Judge?
46010Would you like to hear it?"
46010You have seen all the sights of Quebec, have you not?"
46010and did n''t anybody warn the poor fellows in the fort?"
46010and did the English hurt her for fighting for her own dear country?"
46010and did they begin at once?"
46010and give them those names?"
46010and shall it ever be A mortal man ashamed of Thee?"
46010and what did he do, Uncle Wal?"
46010and what have you seen that is worth telling about?"
46010asked Elsie in a tone of surprise;"and have n''t you been up there at all this morning?"
46010ca n''t you take some rest now?"
46010cried Walter;"but did the British never catch him at it?"
46010do they run already?''
46010exclaimed Grace in astonishment,"you surely did not venture up on the deck in this storm?"
46010exclaimed Rosie,"were ever such accommodating girls seen before?
46010grandpa is your papa, is n''t he?
46010she exclaimed, after the usual morning greetings had been exchanged,"are n''t you sorry it has turned out a rainy day?"
46010then did our soldiers turn round and run back to the others?"
46010under Montgomery and Arnold, was n''t it?"
46010was that you, grandma?"
46010where?''
46010who was he?
18058''Baby boy?''
18058''Where will they be all this while?'' 18058 A good omen, was n''t it, Brother Levis?"
18058Afraid of what, daughter?
18058Ah, then, do n''t you think it would be only kind in me to put my eldest daughter there as a pupil?
18058Ai n''t you a gwine down to see de folks off, Miss Lulu?
18058Am I one of them, papa?
18058An American, Brother Levis?
18058And Cornwallis had not reached there yet?
18058And I hope you are better? 18058 And I think some have ridden there in our wars with England?"
18058And avarice means love of money?
18058And did n''t Rall say the Americans would n''t dare to come against him?
18058And did people care much about it?
18058And do n''t you pity papa a little that he ca n''t see Maxie?
18058And how little are they really worth, while we have them? 18058 And it all happened so; did n''t it, mamma?"
18058And now you would like to walk down across the lawn, to the water''s edge, with me?
18058And now, Walter, would not you and Rosie like to go over to Fairview and carry the good news to Eva and Gracie? 18058 And surely there is no difficulty in the way?"
18058And that Captain Raymond may veto it on that account?
18058And that I do too, papa?
18058And this battle of Monmouth was a great victory for us-- for the Americans, I mean?
18058And what is your choice, Lulu?
18058And what of that, daughter?
18058And what would death be but going home?
18058And when they did come he was killed?
18058And when was it finished, papa? 18058 And where was General Washington just then, mamma?"
18058And whipped them too?
18058And who can say that there may not come a time when you too will have to work for your living? 18058 And who was Torquemada, mamma?"
18058And you and I will stay on here, papa?
18058And you expect to enjoy a sojourn there?
18058And you think I can learn to control mine if I use the same means?
18058And you will tell us about them, wo n''t you, mamma?
18058Are we going to stop at Lewis?
18058Are we not to have that row on the bayou?
18058Are you going immediately to Ion, papa?
18058Are you going to spend your nights here at home, papa?
18058Baylor?
18058But could n''t Washington help them, and did n''t he try to?
18058But do n''t I need to be attending to mine, papa?
18058But he is n''t certain? 18058 But how did you know that I was going to stay at home?"
18058But might not your grandpa feel that I was interfering with him?
18058But please tell us the rest about the battle, Brother Levis, wo n''t you?
18058But that was n''t the Congress that signed the Declaration?
18058But to change the subject, I suppose we may look for the rest of our party about the last of next week?
18058But what more can you tell us about the battle of Trenton, Grandma Elsie?
18058But when?
18058But where are we now? 18058 But why could n''t he go and help them with his soldiers, papa?"
18058But you do n''t expect to find in it a relic of the Revolution, do you?
18058But you have n''t finished about the second attack upon Fort Mifflin, have you, brother Levis?
18058But you will be with us a part of every day?
18058But you will want to please your dear mother?
18058But you will watch me and warn me and try to keep me from yielding to my dreadful temper?
18058Can I see her now, Aunt Rose?
18058Can we go to her?
18058Captain, did not the British attack Fort Mifflin at the same time that the fight was in progress at Fort Mercer?
18058Captain,looking up smilingly into his face,"are you intending to be so very, very kind as to take me for one of your pupils?"
18058Could n''t they have slipped out in the night and gone away quietly without fighting, papa?
18058Could they stand it, papa?
18058Dear cousin,he said, low and tenderly,"are you feeling quite easy now?"
18058Did I hurt you? 18058 Did Washington chase him?"
18058Did anybody ever find out who it was that killed her, papa?
18058Did anybody venture to take the body down and bury it, Grandma Elsie?
18058Did he do it intentionally?
18058Did he say when he would come back?
18058Did n''t force you to come here against your will, eh?
18058Did n''t he ever give way to despair, even for a little while, Grandma Elsie?
18058Did n''t the people of Philadelphia try to be ready to defend themselves and their city, mamma?
18058Did n''t they do any fighting at all, papa?
18058Did not Captain-- afterward Commodore-- Talbot do himself great credit there?
18058Did our men fight the British there in the Revolutionary war, papa?
18058Did they immediately attack Forts Mifflin and Mercer, papa?
18058Did they leave their hiding- places only in the night time, mamma?
18058Did you ever hear the like?
18058Did you sleep well?
18058Did you sleep well?
18058Displeased with you, dear child? 18058 Do n''t you envy her that it is only in the schoolroom she must be obedient to me, whom you have to obey all the time?"
18058Do n''t you think Lee was a traitor, Captain?
18058Do n''t you think so, papa?
18058Do you mean it so, daughter?
18058Do you really think that''s the explanation?'' 18058 Do you?"
18058Excuse me, mamma, but surely it would be still dark at four o''clock in the morning?
18058Grandma Elsie, what was the story about Lydia Darrah?
18058Had a good, safe captain?
18058Had you a call from Professor Manton, Levis?
18058Have I not already done so, daughter?
18058Have n''t you always loved me, though I''ve sometimes been very, very naughty indeed?
18058Have you, Elsie? 18058 He was not very much vexed with you, Lu, was he?"
18058His sovereign? 18058 Homesick, bub?"
18058How did Washington and his army slip away without the British seeing them? 18058 How long did the battle last?"
18058How many of the British were there, Captain?
18058How soon can you be ready, my dear?
18058How soon were they convinced of it, mamma?
18058How soon will we reach the point from which we can see it best, papa?
18058I hope so, indeed, papa,she answered earnestly,"but if I am disobedient and ill- tempered again soon, you will be more severe with me, wo n''t you?
18058I hope such a little excursion will afford you pleasure, my dear?
18058I hope the British did not find out, before they left Philadelphia, who had given the information to the Americans, and take vengeance on her?
18058I hope they did n''t do it, papa?
18058I think I have read that one of the worst of them was a blacksmith, living in Freehold?
18058I think she showed herself a grand woman; do n''t you, mamma?
18058I think you had a letter from Max to- day, Levis?
18058I think you said we could have a day or two for play first, did n''t you?
18058In search of pupils, I suppose?
18058Is it because you have succeeded so poorly that you fear so, papa?
18058Is my feeble little girl quite well this morning?
18058Is n''t Lu tired doing without us, papa?
18058Is n''t she willing to do the same for me too, papa?
18058Is n''t there something I can do now?
18058It was a very hot day, was n''t it, papa?
18058It was in this battle Captain Molly fought, was n''t it?
18058Levis, you will spare me to her as long as I am needed?
18058Lulu and Gracie, you would like to go with your mamma?
18058Lulu did it?
18058Mamma, dear, have you forgotten that I am eleven years old?
18058Mamma, do n''t you hate old England for it?
18058Mamma,exclaimed Walter,"how could she carry anything so big and heavy?"
18058May I choose too, papa?
18058May I read this, papa?
18058May we go out into the grounds now, papa?
18058Miss Lu,called a servant, at length,"is you lookin''fo''de cap''n?
18058My dear boy,she answered, putting her hand into his,"can you not rest content till to- morrow?
18058No, daughter; but how would you like to go with Lulu and me to pay him a little visit?
18058No; what was it?
18058No; would n''t you like to go sooner than that?
18058Not even grandpa?
18058Now, what other revolutionary places are to be seen in Philadelphia, mamma?
18058O Grandma Elsie, is it there yet?
18058O Ned,cried Rosie, in an agony of terror,"is-- is mamma in immediate danger?
18058O grandma, may we go to her now?
18058O mamma, was it before that that he had said,''Give me liberty or give me death''?
18058O papa, is that it?
18058Oh, I hope that nothing bad has happened to Gracie or Mamma Vi, or our little ones?
18058Oh, are we going to stop to see the old fort, papa?
18058Oh, have you heard from Ion how Grandma Elsie passed the night?
18058Oh, that''s where you keep it? 18058 Oh, what more could I ask?
18058Oh, where is he?
18058Oh,cried Grace,"did he know it was she that had told of his plans?"
18058Oh,she sighed again and again,"will he never, never come, that I may tell him how sorry and ashamed I am?"
18058Papa, ca n''t we visit Hampton?
18058Papa, can I help you?
18058Papa, could n''t I write some of the letters for you? 18058 Papa, did I exaggerate in telling you of the beauties of the place?"
18058Papa, did she wear a man''s hat?
18058Papa, do n''t you miss Max?
18058Papa, do you suppose you will know which is Viamede when you see it?
18058Papa, what are_ chevaux de frise_?
18058Papa, when I say my prayers to- night I will ask God to take away all the wicked pride out of my heart; and wo n''t you ask him too?
18058Papa, when is it that we are going to see Max?
18058Papa,asked Grace, pointing in a southerly direction,"is that another fort yonder?"
18058Please, may I sit on your knee while I listen?
18058Quite up to your expectations, my dear?
18058Rosie, when does the captain propose beginning his labors as tutor?
18058Shall we not call in the servants and have prayers before going upstairs? 18058 She is not well, Arthur?"
18058So all the Quakers were not Tories?
18058Some time in January I know you said, but will it be to spend New Year''s with him?
18058Such a lovely morning, papa, is n''t it?
18058Then I choose to wait for my holiday till the others are here to share it with us; for do n''t you suppose Grandma Elsie will let them, papa?
18058Then of course Lulu is not?
18058Then the Hessians were n''t drunk as Washington expected, were they, Grandma Elsie?
18058Then we may consider it settled? 18058 Then you wo n''t let me, papa?"
18058They both have soldiers in them?
18058They knew he was dying, mamma?
18058Was Washington hurt at all, papa?
18058Was it in the war of 1812- 14, then, papa?
18058Was n''t it at Freehold, or in its neighborhood, that a Captain Huddy was murdered by those pine robbers?
18058Was n''t it, papa?
18058Washington was one of them, was n''t he, Grandma Elsie?
18058We can all go to church, ca n''t we, papa?
18058We do n''t have to learn and recite lessons to- day, papa, do we?
18058Well, daughter, has it been a pleasant evening to you?
18058Well, daughter, what is it? 18058 Well, daughter, what is it?"
18058Well, what is it?
18058Were n''t the Tories very bad men, Grandma Elsie?
18058Were not some of those in New Jersey known as''Pine Robbers,''Grandma Elsie?
18058Were the houses they fired on the very ones that are there now, papa?
18058Were they from all the States, mamma?
18058What about, papa?
18058What do you think, Mamma Vi, of your husband having an amanuensis?
18058What do you think, Rosie?
18058What for?
18058What is a tender, papa?
18058What is it, Levis?
18058What''s all this?
18058What''s the rest of the story?
18058What, papa?
18058Where is Lulu, Gracie?
18058Where''s your ferule, Brother Levis?
18058Which is Old Point Comfort, papa?
18058Who was he, mamma?
18058Why did you not go with the others?
18058Why do n''t they ask me, then?
18058Why has anything been hidden from me-- the father who loves her better than his life?
18058Why, daughter, what is the meaning of this?
18058Why, we''re almost there, are n''t we?
18058Will he punish me?
18058Will you, Lu?
18058Wo n''t you excuse Gracie and me from lessons the rest of the time before we start for Viamede, papa?
18058Wo n''t you please tell me about it?
18058Yes, he says,''In me is thine help,''and having his help what can harm us? 18058 Yes, my son,"she answered, in cheerful tones, and in a moment he was at her side, asking, in some alarm and anxiety,"Mamma, dear, are you sick?"
18058You are going with us, Levis?
18058You are well pleased with the prospect of this visit to Viamede, Violet, my dear?
18058You find that a pleasure, do you?
18058You forgot that I had forbidden it?
18058You have come to see mamma?
18058You have visited the places near here where there was fighting in those days, have n''t you, mamma?
18058You look happy now, mamma; are you?
18058You think you can trust your father after this, even without being told his reasons for all he does and requires?
18058You will let me be with you, dear Elsie?
18058You will not think of going down, Elsie?
18058You will take me with you, papa?
18058You will tell us about the doings of some of those when you are done with the story of Lydia Darrah, wo n''t you, mamma?
18058''Do you suppose they will stand by, idle and indifferent spectators to the contest?
18058''How else could you account for the seeming ability of that wretched animal to talk?''
18058''What, upon earth?''
18058A great deal better?"
18058All this you know, my son?"
18058Almost at Fortress Monroe?"
18058And are n''t you proud of him-- your eldest son?"
18058And you would be glad to please mamma?"
18058Are you willing to share your teacher with Rosie and Walter, daughter mine?"
18058Are you willing?"
18058Arthur has told you all?"
18058Arthur, when-- when must my child go through the trial which you say is-- not to be escaped?"
18058But have you changed your plans about it?"
18058But is that all of your story, papa?"
18058By the way, do you remember what occurred near there, at the village of Lewis, in the war of 1812?"
18058Caldwell?"
18058Can, and will, my little daughter promise to keep the secret?
18058Could you not see that all she said just now was in sportive jest?"
18058Did n''t he, papa?"
18058Did not you?"
18058Do n''t you feel as if you could?"
18058Do you not agree with me, Eva?"
18058Do you not think so, Grandma Elsie?"
18058Do you remember how it begins?
18058Do you remember the incident of the gamecock?"
18058Does it not?"
18058Has it not ever been the testimony of all his saints concerning his precious promises that not one faileth?"
18058Have you come to take us-- Elsie and Ned and me-- home for a while again?"
18058He had been with you, had he not?"
18058He invited her to be seated, then asked,''Were any of your family up, Lydia, on the night when I received company in this house?''
18058How long did it take to build it?"
18058I have obeyed you-- asked Alma''s pardon-- and-- please, dear papa, wo n''t you forgive me, too?"
18058I hope they are all well?"
18058I think you would prefer to have the trial over as soon as possible?"
18058Is it all because you are grieved over my naughtiness?"
18058Is it not?"
18058Is n''t it good, papa, that they have never once suspected me?"
18058Is n''t she frightened almost to death?"
18058Is n''t she, papa?"
18058Is n''t she, papa?"
18058Is that it, grandma?"
18058Is your estimation of your father''s wisdom and his love for you so low that you can not trust him thus far?"
18058It will not be wrong to ask him for that?"
18058It wo n''t be wrong, mamma?"
18058Many and many a time has it been fulfilled to me and to all who have put their trust in him?"
18058May I sleep in Gracie''e room to be nearer to you?"
18058May n''t I go in, if it''s only for a minute, to get one look at her dear face?
18058May not Lulu and Gracie come too?"
18058Noticing that her father had several, Lulu presently drew near him and asked,"May n''t I help you answer those, papa?"
18058Nuts were a part of the dessert that day, and Lulu, sitting near her father, asked in a low aside,"Papa, may n''t I pick out some kernels for you?"
18058O mamma, mamma, how can I live without you?"
18058Oh, I often ask myself,''Is there anybody else in all the wide world who has so much to be thankful for as I?''"
18058Oh, is mamma ill?"
18058Oh, what is it ails you?"
18058Papa, dear,"turning to him,"shall I say good- night to you now?"
18058Papa, would n''t they let him come home for just a little while?"
18058Please, wo n''t you let me?"
18058She said,''Yes, is your papa going to send you there?''
18058So now as I have stayed, wo n''t you be so very good as to let me, you dear, dearest papa?"
18058That was George the Third, papa?"
18058Then Cousin Molly said,''Oh, is he?
18058Was n''t it good in them?"
18058Was n''t that the case?"
18058We are all sinners, worthy of nothing good at the hands of God, and what have we to do with pride?"
18058What do you suppose Maxie is doing just now, papa?"
18058What do you want to do this evening?
18058What-- what is it Cousin Arthur is going to do?"
18058Where are we now?
18058Which shall it be?"
18058Why should you think that anything serious ails me?"
18058Why should your eldest son be shut out from your confidence?"
18058Will you please carry some up to my wife?"
18058Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
18058Wo n''t you go with me?
18058Women can be very useful in the world too, ca n''t they, papa?"
18058Would n''t you, Max?''
18058You are sorry for them, and do not intend to offend in the same way again?"
18058You saw that, I suppose, mamma?"
18058and is she going to stay on at Ion now, papa?"
18058be asleep all this time?
18058do n''t you remember papa did say we were all invited?
18058exclaimed Lulu,"whatever put such a thing as that into your head?
18058he exclaimed in surprise and alarm,"what is the matter?"
18058how shall we spend our time alone together?
18058never mentioning it to any one but me?"
18058remarked Violet inquiringly,"Dear fellow, I hope he was quite well at the time of writing?"
18058she asked;"something more that you can share with the rest of us?"
18058she exclaimed,"and is it what you intend doing every day?"
18058she exclaimed,"did n''t I tell you, girls and Walter?"
18058they were mightily mistaken in their estimate of our people, were n''t they, mamma?"
18058what have I to do with doubt or fear, since he is mine and I am his?"
18058who is he?''
18058why could n''t she have come to me while I was up there?
14910''Seeing their faith?'' 14910 About how many?"
14910Ah, Captain Raymond, have you forgotten that consistency is a jewel?
14910Ah, but was n''t I?
14910Ah, my dear, have you forgotten that circumstances alter cases?
14910Ah, what subject is that upon which you are so well informed, Chester?
14910Ah, who shall say that I am not the complimented one, Max?
14910Ah?
14910All alone?
14910Am I also under orders to retire, sir?
14910Am I sick? 14910 Americans too, papa?"
14910And are her guns real, papa? 14910 And he will send his Holy Spirit to help us-- if we ask him to?"
14910And how about her guns, sir? 14910 And how long will we stay there?"
14910And if we do n''t, we''ll have a meeting here on our own deck as we have on some other Sundays; wo n''t we, papa?
14910And what does that other part,''by whose stripes ye are healed,''mean, papa?
14910And what has my little girl, my dear eldest daughter, to say to her father to- night?
14910And what is a moat?
14910And who may they be?
14910And who? 14910 And you did n''t know how cross and tyrannical he was?"
14910And you have n''t seen everything in it yet?
14910And you have no objection to me personally, sir?
14910And you, Cousin Ronald?
14910And, oh, papa, what big ship is that?
14910Anything more, my child?
14910Are they heathen folks, papa?
14910Are you and Frank new arrivals?
14910Are you just from Pleasant Plains?
14910Are you tired hearing it, father, dear?
14910Are you very, very tired, Gracie?
14910At home?
14910But Harold, can you take us to the others? 14910 But did n''t the rest of the English try to help those folks in that fort at Detroit, papa?"
14910But how can we know it, papa? 14910 But oh, could n''t they have saved her?"
14910But suppose you delay a little and let some of us accompany you?
14910But what does anybody want with such little bits of ships?
14910But what is her height, grandpa?
14910But where are Ella and the boy?
14910But why did n''t you bring them along?
14910But you are still as proud as ever of being an American, and as proud of your Stripes and Stars?
14910But, papa----"Well, daughter, what is it?
14910Can it be possible you mean to insinuate that I am the associate of beggars and thieves?
14910Can they run very fast?
14910Could n''t we have an ostrich farm?
14910Cousin Annis,said Violet,"would you not be willing to make one of our party?
14910Cousin Ronald,said Walter,"ca n''t you make some fun for us to- morrow with your ventriloquism?"
14910Did they give it up then, grandma?
14910Do n''t folks eat ostriches, papa?
14910Do n''t they eat anything but meat, papa?
14910Do not you agree with us, captain?
14910Do they bring it to him?
14910Do they have nests to lay their eggs in, like our chickens?
14910Do they ring it when it''s at its home in Philadelphia, papa?
14910Do you know its story, Elsie? 14910 Do you really think so, mamma?
14910Do you think it will pay, captain?
14910Do you want to join the others on the deck?
14910Do you? 14910 Does that mean, ready to dispense with my father''s society?
14910Early in the morning, grandma?
14910Father, may I ride over the grounds before alighting?
14910Go where, grandpa?
14910Grandma, why did he pray when he was God and could do everything?
14910Had n''t he afterward something to do with a change in our flag, Grandma Elsie?
14910Has anyone seen the evening paper or the morning one either?
14910Has this been a happy and enjoyable day to you, daughter?
14910Have I not told you many times that my wife does what she pleases? 14910 Have what over?"
14910Have you been in the Electric Building yet?
14910Have you something to say to your father?
14910He does it at sunrise too, does n''t he?
14910How do you s''pose it got out?
14910How many are there, papa?
14910How many would like to go?
14910How was it? 14910 How would this one answer?"
14910How would you all like to go by water?
14910How, Uncle Wal?
14910How, grandma? 14910 Hungry, too, papa''s boy, are n''t you?"
14910I am at liberty to go everywhere, as of old?
14910I have n''t lost the first place in my little girl''s heart yet?
14910I must have a ride in that,said Walter emphatically,"and mamma, you will go with me, will you not?"
14910I presume you will all be ready to start out early, as usual?
14910I suppose she must have cost a good deal?
14910I suppose this is salt water they are all in?
14910I was just thinking,--please do n''t be vexed with me,--but was n''t Mamma Vi only nineteen when you married her?
14910I will, papa, and are not you going too? 14910 I''m not at all sleepy, papa; ca n''t I sit here for a while?"
14910In what part of the building is it, Harold?
14910Is it Jesus who says,''Surely I come quickly, grandma?
14910Is it a very expensive entertainment?
14910Is it quite safe?
14910Is it sure to wake and sing every half- hour in the night, uncle?
14910Is my little girl unhappy, about-- anything? 14910 Is n''t it wicked to kill folks, grandma?"
14910Is n''t this a lovely day? 14910 Is that the State coat- of- arms above the pediment over the front doors, papa?"
14910Is that the reason why they brought it here, papa?
14910Is that what they are good for, papa?
14910Is there a moat about it, Uncle Harold?
14910Is there anything I can do or furnish to make you more so?
14910It''s right nice- lookin'', is n''t it?
14910Lest I should have too much pleasure in carrying it out?
14910Let me hear it, son?
14910May I hope you will show equal favor to the giver?
14910May n''t I go?
14910No, papa,she replied,"can you tell us?"
14910Nor me either, mamma?
14910Not a real ship, papa?
14910Now where shall we go next?
14910Oh, does n''t it sometimes seem as if you could hardly wait for the time when you will be there with all the dear ones gone before? 14910 Oh, papa, is that it over there where that arch is with all those pillars on each side of it?"
14910Oh, papa, what is it?
14910Oh, papa, what is that woman doing?
14910Oh, papa, what is that?
14910Oh, sir, can I not persuade you to revoke that decision and let me at least learn from her own lips whether or not she cares for me?
14910Oh, what is it, Uncle Walter?
14910Oh, what is that?
14910Papa dear, what is the matter? 14910 Papa, did n''t you say she was n''t a real ship?"
14910Papa, is it solid gold?
14910Papa, may n''t I keep close at your side, going wherever you go?
14910Papa,asked little Elsie,"how long ago did people live in those houses so high up among the rocks?"
14910Papa,she asked,"can I go presently to the Court of Honor with the others-- and you?
14910Papa,she said humbly,"have you quite forgiven my crossness to- night when you refused to let me go ashore?
14910Pennsylvania''s in particular, my dear?
14910Please ca n''t we take a ride now?
14910Pleased, papa? 14910 Right about what?"
14910Scuttled? 14910 Shall we dine first and then look at the exhibits?"
14910Shall we go now to the Electrical Building?
14910Shall we make any move in the matter to- night, my dear?
14910Shall we visit the Turkish village to- day?
14910So there are two, are there?
14910So you are a ventriloquist, sir?
14910Some what, son?
14910Thank you, sir,she replied;"but are you sure I might not prove a hindrance and burden?"
14910That means a great many men killed, grandma?
14910That''s the name of this year is n''t it, papa?
14910The tired little ones will be left in their bed of course?
14910Then it will take about all of the next day to get to Mackinaw, wo n''t it, papa?
14910Then you will stay on?
14910There is a German village connected with it, is there not?
14910They supplied the Indians also, did they not, my dear?
14910They were good and brave men to do it; were n''t they, papa?
14910To warn vessels to keep off shoals?
14910Unhappy, father? 14910 Was it in Spain they made them, papa?"
14910Was it, when you are the girl that always thinks of everybody else?
14910We love each other, do n''t we, papa?
14910We will go to church to- morrow, I suppose, papa?
14910Well, Lu, did you get leave to go?
14910Well, captain,said Grandma Elsie, looking up smilingly into his face as he drew near,"did you catch the rogues?"
14910Were n''t the Americans glad when they heard about it, grandma? 14910 What are caravels, papa?"
14910What building''s that?
14910What do they eat, papa?
14910What do they eat, papa?
14910What do you say to the plan, Grandpa and Grandma Dinsmore, and mother?
14910What does that mean?
14910What for, grandma?
14910What is blarney, papa?
14910What is righteousness, papa?
14910What will there be worth looking at before we reach the Peristyle?
14910What work have you two been about to- day?
14910What''s the price?
14910Where are the curtains, papa?
14910Where are they, papa?
14910Where are we going to- day, papa?
14910Where are you going?
14910Where else did you go?
14910Where have you been since we left you, Lu?
14910Where is it?
14910Where next?
14910Where now?
14910Where now?
14910Where shall we betake ourselves, Miss Annis?
14910Who are you? 14910 Who cares to look at such a thing as that?"
14910Who is that man? 14910 Who was she, papa?
14910Why did Jesus say to the man''Son, thy sins be forgiven thee,''papa?
14910Why so, daughter?
14910Why, daughter, are you there?
14910Why, how do you do, cousin? 14910 Why?
14910Will we go over there, to the Court of Honor, to- morrow, papa?
14910Will you take a boat ride with me, Lucilla?
14910Without waiting for an invitation, eh?
14910Yes, it is a pleasant way of gaining knowledge; pleasanter than learning lessons and reciting them to papa; is it not, daughter?
14910Yes, it was Jesus our Saviour who said it; and do you know whom he meant by the Son of man?
14910Yes; and do n''t you see the name there up over the door?
14910You gave some, papa? 14910 You have hardly been in America ever since I saw you last?"
14910You have no objection to me personally, I trust, sir?
14910You mean the captain does not allow it?
14910You think so, do you, sir? 14910 You want to kiss the Blarney Stone, do you?"
14910You will be almost sorry when the time comes for returning home?
14910You would be looking about for such a sweet young creature and trying to win her heart?
14910Ah, Annis, how can you have the heart to disappoint him so?"
14910And Jesus knew their thoughts, for he asked,''Why reason ye these things in your hearts?''"
14910And has not the first suggestion come from her more than once?"
14910And he said unto them, Where is your faith?
14910And you, mother, would like it, would you not?"
14910Are n''t you pleased with our purchases?"
14910Are you feeling better now?
14910But oh, papa, was n''t it lovely to see the Court of Honor light up to- night?
14910But what are you looking so searchingly at me for, Gracie?"
14910But what-- who----?"
14910But why should I be suspected more than anyone else in this company of friends and relatives?"
14910But wo n''t you take mamma and Elsie and all the rest, and me too?"
14910But would n''t you like to go and see it all?"
14910Ca n''t I, papa?"
14910Ca n''t I?"
14910Ca n''t we go, papa?"
14910Can you not do the same?"
14910Do you see?
14910Do you think it was?"
14910Do you want Grace and me to go to bed as soon as you and the others are gone?"
14910Does my little son know who said these words?"
14910Does n''t that mean that to believe on Jesus will take us to heaven at last-- when we die?"
14910Goin''in, Elmiry?"
14910Grandpa, do you know her size?"
14910How did they show their faith, Lucilla?"
14910How long do you?"
14910How long will you stay?"
14910I wonder what is going to be done here to celebrate it?"
14910Is he quite tame?
14910Is it a live thing?
14910Is it that you fear to trust your happiness to my keeping?"
14910Is she not magnificent?"
14910Is there any danger at all?"
14910Lilburn?"
14910Lucilla, can you tell me what is the fruit of the Spirit?"
14910May I ask what it is?"
14910May I say mine now?"
14910Might n''t they go off and shoot us?"
14910Miss Annis, do you think I-- I could ever make myself a place in your heart?
14910Now, do you remember what he did after the disciples and the people were gone?"
14910Oh, have I done anything to vex or trouble you?"
14910Oh, what is that?"
14910One of England''s finest battleships, was she not?"
14910Papa, are you never troubled with fears that you might be mistaken in thinking yourself a Christian?
14910Papa, were they all killed?"
14910Say, capting, are you mean enough to let us fellows go hungry when you have a vessel full o''good things for eatin''?
14910Shall we compose a fourth party, and see what we can find to amuse and interest us?"
14910Shall we take it?"
14910She was awakened by a gentle tap on the door, then Violet''s voice asking:"Can I come in for one moment, Cousin Annis?"
14910She went first to her mother''s state- room, and the door being opened in answer to her gentle rap,"Are you quite comfortable, mamma, dear?"
14910So he will give it to me; wo n''t he?"
14910That over Grandma Elsie asked,"Shall we not, now we are here, go into the Government Building and look at the military exhibit?"
14910The Scribes sitting there understood it to be so, and said in their hearts,''Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies?
14910The captain mentioned that fact, then asked:"Do you know, Grace, how long that fort was in building?"
14910The evening is the best time for a sight of its wonders, I presume?"
14910The girl noticed it and grew more frightened, turning a trifle paler and asking:"Is there any danger?"
14910Then, turning to the elder Mr. Lilburn:"Cousin Ronald,"he asked,"do you think you would know them if you were to see them?"
14910There at the Master''s feet, seeing him and bearing his image-- like him; for we shall see him as he is?"
14910They did not catch the reply, but he went on with his questions:"Will he bite?
14910To say nothing of a pocket full o''tin?"
14910Uncle Harold and Uncle Herbert, wo n''t you go and help papa fight those bad men?
14910Violet, my dear, how does that programme suit you?"
14910Walter did not seem to notice, however, but went on:"Are the upper floors open to visitors, sir?
14910What have you to propose in regard to our movements for the day, captain?"
14910What is its name?"
14910What was the reason?"
14910What''s that, grandma?"
14910What''s the way to do it?"
14910Who can forgive sins but God only?''
14910Wo n''t you be afraid of them?"
14910Would n''t it be fun, Mamma Vi, to have a wedding here on the yacht?"
14910Would n''t you, daughter?"
14910Would you like to do so?"
14910Would you like to take a ride on one?"
14910You are not disappointed in the Fair so far?"
14910am I going blind?"
14910and are there refreshments served there, or in any other part of the building?"
14910and did n''t they praise Captain Reid?"
14910and how did you come aboard the vessel?"
14910and wanting her father to comfort her?"
14910and what could have been more beautiful than the view from the Ferris Wheel?"
14910and what did they put her boat here for?"
14910are they real?"
14910cried little Elsie,"are all those great men there?
14910did I faint, papa?"
14910did you want me to do anything?"
14910do n''t you know that I love_ you_ ten thousand times better than anybody else in the whole wide world?
14910for I suppose you are going?"
14910he asked presently,"or would you rather go at once to your bed and rest?
14910here in your arms and perfectly certain of your dear love?"
14910she exclaimed in half reproachful tones,"how can you be troubled with any such idea as that?
14910that old log building?"
14910was n''t it?"
14910we are at the top of the wheel, and is not the view magnificent?"
14910what was the difficulty?"
14910where now, friends?"
45944''By what authority do you demand it?'' 45944 ''Will he fight?''
45944A squadron?
45944About how old is she?
45944About what, daughter?
45944After the doctor had told his errand and Prescott had calmed down, he asked,''Was n''t my treatment of Folger very uncivil?'' 45944 Ah, Keith, is that a serious thought or a mere idle jest?"
45944Ah, is that so?
45944Ah, what is the meaning of that, Raymond?
45944American men fire on a woman doing such a thing as that? 45944 And Crown Point was taken too,--wasn''t it, Mamma?"
45944And ardent patriots too, Papa, ready to defend her to the utmost of their ability should she be attacked by any other power?
45944And could n''t he stop them, Papa?
45944And did he fight for the country, Papa?
45944And did n''t the British get anything at all, Papa?
45944And did they hang the poor man, Papa?
45944And did they make a great fuss and wake up all the people, Papa?
45944And he did n''t have the pleasure of seeing his country free and separated from England?
45944And his bones are lying right under here are they, sir?
45944And how do they differ from transports, brother Levis?
45944And how soon after that was the war really over, Papa?
45944And it was a great victory,--wasn''t it, Papa?
45944And may I get up early and take them before breakfast when I choose, sir?
45944And now can you three keep the secret from the others, that they may have a pleasant surprise?
45944And then coming back to Newport?
45944And we can start out bright and early on Monday to visit places of interest,added Lulu;"ca n''t we, Papa?"
45944And what did our men get besides the soldiers and women and children, Mamma?
45944And what did they say?
45944And what do these words below it mean, Papa,--''Aschaleh fecit, 1741''?
45944And what do you suppose they will do here?
45944And what is he doing?
45944And what of army officers, my little lady?
45944And what will come next, Captain?
45944And when was this one built?
45944And who would n''t rather fight and die fighting, than be a slave?
45944And will they go through all their manoeuvres, Papa?
45944And you, Papa, would you enjoy it, too?
45944Are they very particular, sir?
45944Are we going at once, Papa?
45944Are you, indeed?
45944But I suppose they had to use the stamps for all that,--hadn''t they?
45944But how about poor fatherless and brotherless single women? 45944 But how do they prepare for war, Papa?"
45944But people must help themselves too, Mamma?
45944But that was n''t the anniversary of the battle?
45944But there was n''t any more fighting till the battle of Bunker Hill, was there, Mamma?
45944But there were more of the British killed than of our men,--weren''t there, Papa?
45944But was there no fighting, Papa?
45944But what is to hinder, my friend, since He says,''Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out''?
45944But why did Washington go to Maryland to do that, Papa?
45944But why would they ever do that, Papa?
45944But wo n''t you please tell us about them, Papa?
45944But you do n''t blame Whipple for answering him in that way,--do you, Papa?
45944But you may lead a Bible class of which she forms a part, may you not?
45944Ca n''t we, Papa?
45944Coloured men, for instance?
45944Could anybody be so wicked as that?
45944Could you tell me just how, ma''am,--as if you were pointing out the right road to a traveller, for instance?
45944Dear me,she said to herself,"if Papa was that strict with his children what ever would become of me?"
45944Did Tarleton ever insult a lady, Papa?
45944Did he ever go back to take revenge, Grandma Elsie?
45944Did n''t British ships take ours sometimes, Papa?
45944Did n''t the Americans at first fire on the funeral procession, Papa?
45944Did the Americans hold any other such''tea parties,''Papa?
45944Did the British care for having killed those poor men?
45944Did the news fly very fast all over the country, Mamma?
45944Did they come, Papa? 45944 Did they do their work well, Captain?"
45944Did they fight any more that night, Papa?
45944Did they give it up then, Papa?
45944Did they hang him, Papa?
45944Did you make them yourself?
45944Did you sleep well?
45944Do those letters stand for George Rex,--King George,--Papa?
45944Do you know where it''s going, and what for?
45944Do you think it will, Papa?
45944Do you think they''ll do anything to- night, Papa?
45944Do you, dear child? 45944 Do you, indeed?"
45944Going to steal them, Papa?
45944Had the land troops of the British gone away also, Captain?
45944Have you any suggestions to make?
45944Have you nothing to say for them?
45944He left some children, if I remember right?
45944He was n''t a good Christian man, like Washington, was he, Papa?
45944How I would like to visit it,--can we, Papa?
45944How far must we travel to get there, Papa?
45944How long did Washington stay there close to Boston, Papa?
45944How many children have you, Raymond?
45944How would you like now to hear of some of the doings and happenings of those times in and about Newport?
45944How, Papa?
45944How_ could_ he turn against his country? 45944 I remember, now, that there was a Baron Riedesel in the British army,--a Hessian officer, in command of four thousand men; was n''t he, Papa?"
45944I s''pose they did n''t like that,observed Gracie,"but what did they do about it, Papa?"
45944I should think it would always be better to stay in their ships, would n''t it?
45944I suppose they''ll let us climb up there, wo n''t they, Papa?
45944I think there was fighting the next day,--wasn''t there, Papa?
45944I wonder what became of them-- those girls-- afterward?
45944Is it?
45944Is n''t she all right, Papa?
45944Is n''t that so, Papa?
45944Is n''t yours big enough to hold it all?
45944Is there any story about that one?
45944Is there not a portrait of Washington there?
45944It is n''t the same house that Burgoyne caroused in the night after the battle of Bemis Heights, is it, Papa?
45944It would have been a very bad thing for our cause if he had succeeded,--wouldn''t it, Papa?
45944Looks rather small to you after the naval vessels you were wo nt to command?
45944Mamma, was Washington commander at the battle of Bunker Hill?
45944Mamma,said Walter,"have n''t you something more to read to us?"
45944May we, Papa?
45944Must we go now, Papa?
45944Not to- day, Levis? 45944 Now what are they going to do, Papa?"
45944Now, Papa, the next thing is to tell us about the battle of Bunker Hill,--isn''t it?
45944Oh, Max, would n''t you like to be in that Admiral''s place?
45944Oh, Papa, may n''t I go too?
45944Oh, Papa, was anybody killed?
45944Oh, Papa, what did they do with all those Americans and British who had been killed?
45944Oh, Papa, wo n''t you take us to see his grave?
45944Oh, Papa, you can read their signals, and tell us what''s coming, ca n''t you? 45944 Oh, and is that the executive officer on the bridge of the''Wanita,''Papa?"
45944Oh, can we go and look at them?
45944Oh, can you repeat it, Mamma Vi?
45944Oh, did n''t they run then, Papa?
45944Oh, did they want to make him king, and tell him so?
45944Oh, do, Papa; wo n''t you?
45944Oh, is it war, brother Levis,_ really_ war?
45944Oh, is it, sir?
45944Oh, was n''t that good?
45944Oh, what are those?
45944Oh, will you?
45944Papa, can I visit them?
45944Papa, do you think he hated the Americans?
45944Papa, how long will it take us to go there?
45944Papa, is it on the exact spot where the other-- the first one-- was? 45944 Papa, the British marched very quietly, did n''t they?"
45944Papa, was n''t it known whose shot killed Frazer?
45944Papa, will you please wake me when the time comes to get up?
45944Papa, will you?
45944Papa, wo n''t you tell about it?
45944Papa,Gracie asked,"did the Roxbury people know about the fight at Lexington and Concord?"
45944Papa,Gracie said, breaking a momentary silence,"what are we going to do about keeping the Lord''s Day to- morrow?
45944Papa,asked Gracie,"where abouts were the tea ships when the folks went on board and threw the tea into the water?"
45944Please go on, again, Papa, wo n''t you?
45944Please take us there,--won''t you, Papa?
45944Please tell us something more about Frazer, Papa, wo n''t you?
45944Please, sir, may I go and look at them?
45944Sent where, Papa?
45944Shall we go up there at once?
45944Shall we not, Levis?
45944That is Scituate, is it not, Captain?
45944That''s rather strong, is n''t it?
45944That''s rather strong, is n''t it?
45944The British started back to Boston pretty soon after that, did n''t they, Papa?
45944The Marshall place, Papa? 45944 The night before the battle, was n''t it?"
45944Then did he take possession of the town and stay there awhile?
45944Then do you say I may go, Papa?
45944Then we can not see anything before Monday?
45944Then you''ll tell Mamma Vi and the rest, sir?
45944There''s Schuylerville with its monument, I do believe,--isn''t it, Papa?
45944They had a battery on each, Papa?
45944They hung him as a spy, did they, sir?
45944They knew what the British were after, and made haste to conceal the stores of powder, shot, and so forth,--didn''t they, Papa?
45944They made Abraham Whipple captain of one,--didn''t they, Papa?
45944To what do you refer, Captain?
45944War would n''t be so very, very dreadful if it was all like that,--would it, Grandma Elsie?
45944Was Gates one of them, Papa?
45944Was he treated well in England, Papa?
45944Was it finished in that year, Papa?
45944Was it that night Surgeon Jones was killed?
45944Was n''t Arnold wounded in this battle, Papa?
45944Was n''t Prescott''s order to his men to reserve their fire till they could see the whites of the British soldier''s eyes?
45944Was n''t he a member of the Continental Congress before his election as commander- in- chief of the armies?
45944Was n''t that the night before the day the Baroness Riedesel went to the Marshall place?
45944Was she entirely burned, Papa?
45944Was that the''vite to the tea- party?
45944Was there any fighting in or about Annapolis, Papa?
45944Was there any other fighting before the battle of Bunker Hill, Mamma?
45944Weapons, Papa?
45944Well, daughter, what is it?
45944Well, it''s a sort of womanish work anyhow,--isn''t it, Papa?
45944Well, sir, I suppose it''s because I am the son of a seaman; love for the sea runs in the blood,--isn''t that so, Papa?
45944Well, sir, what more have you to show us?
45944Well, what is it?
45944What could be more enjoyable than sailing about in such a vessel, with a retired naval officer in command? 45944 What do they do next, sir?"
45944What do you say, Lulu?
45944What does that mean, Papa?
45944What for, Papa?
45944What for, brother Levis?
45944What happened next, Papa?
45944What is a privateer, Papa?
45944What is it they''re going to do, Papa?
45944What is it you are reading, Mamma, that makes you look so sorry?
45944What is it, Papa, Gracie''s talking about? 45944 What is that they''re doing, Papa?"
45944What is that? 45944 What is your opinion, Keith?"
45944What kind of flag did our naval vessels carry at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, Captain?
45944What kind of stone is this, sir?
45944What mountains are those, Papa?
45944What other man would have refused with scorn and indignation, as he did, the suggestion that his army would like to make him a king?
45944What plan is it?
45944What time shall we reach there, Papa?
45944What was it all about, Papa?
45944What was the name of his vessel, Papa?
45944What would you advise?
45944What''s going to be done now?
45944What''s that, Papa?
45944What, daughter,--the rain?
45944Where are we going first, Papa?
45944Where is it, Papa?
45944Where now, sir?
45944Where were they firing from then?
45944Which do you call our side? 45944 Who was Otis, Papa?"
45944Who, daughter?
45944Whose mistake was it that instead of being away out at sea, we are back at our starting- point again?
45944Why did n''t they attack them, Captain?
45944Why not?
45944Why, Rosie, are you turning into a woman''s rights woman?
45944Why, we are anchored, are we not, Levis?
45944Why, what else is necessary, sir?
45944Will I do what, my son?
45944Will it be a dinner, tea, or evening party, Captain?
45944With our own mother, Papa?
45944Would n''t you like to be that officer?
45944Yes, sir; but did n''t some one about that time raise a flag composed of thirteen stripes?
45944Yes,he replied,"and I presume you remember the story of the last war with England, connected with it?"
45944Yes; did n''t you know that?
45944Yes; what do you remember about it?
45944You are not here permanently?
45944You are quite sure of her speed?
45944You have been here before, Raymond?
45944You leave for home to- morrow evening, I think you said?
45944You see that range of hills on the farther side of the river, children?
45944You will hold your service in the morning, I suppose, Captain?
45944You would enjoy it, my dear?
45944Your children, are they? 45944 A story?
45944And do you mean it_ is_ whipped, or_ has_ whipped?"
45944And shall we not love Him in return?
45944And there, over to the left, is Constitution Island,--isn''t it, sir?"
45944And you''ll command the vessel yourself, wo n''t you?
45944And you?"
45944Barton answered,''We have no countersign to give,''then quickly asked,''Have you seen any deserters here to- night?''
45944But even that is to be preferred to war,--eh, Raymond?"
45944But is not this a sudden move?
45944But they are all in now,--at least I should think so; the boats look full,--and why do n''t they start?"
45944But they wo n''t be likely to begin it immediately, I suppose?"
45944But were they not subjects of the British king?
45944But,"and Mr. Keith glanced somewhat doubtfully at Lulu,"shall we not take a carriage?
45944By whom could it be authorized?
45944Can you not spend them with us at the sea- shore?"
45944Can you wait so long as that?"
45944Did St. Leger take it, Papa?"
45944Did n''t they begin one about that time?"
45944Do n''t you think it will be quite a rest to be out of the cars for a day or two?"
45944Do you care to witness such?"
45944Do you want that cleansing, my friend?"
45944Does that satisfy you?"
45944Had not the troops come out in obedience to acknowledged authorities?
45944He took her in his arms with a fond caress, asking,"Does it seem pleasant to be at home-- or with the home folks-- again?"
45944How will that do, do you think?"
45944I think they ought to have given it to her a great deal sooner,--don''t you, Mamma?"
45944I''m sorry for him, too; but as he would put his talents to so wrong a use, there was no choice but to kill him,--isn''t that so, Papa?"
45944I''m sure his anger at the injustice was very natural; yet he still fought bravely for his country,--didn''t he, Papa?"
45944Is not that a precious assurance?"
45944Keith?"
45944Keith?"
45944Lulu gave her father an inquiring look, and he said,"What is it, daughter?
45944Mamma, do not you agree with me?"
45944Oh, it''s a good many ships belonging together,--isn''t it, Papa?"
45944Papa, did n''t he at one time disguise his ship and take her into an English port to refit?"
45944Papa, was n''t it about that time the stars and stripes were first used?"
45944Shall we go now, Raymond, and see what of interest is to be found in the buildings and about the grounds of the academy?"
45944Shall we not give ourselves to Him, and serve Him with all our powers?
45944Shall we spend it on board the yacht?"
45944That last- mentioned sight brought the tears to Gracie''s blue eyes, and she asked in tremulous tones,"Are they really hurt or killed, Papa?"
45944Then hastily changing the subject,"Papa, is that town over there Phillipstown?"
45944Then his_ aide_ said,''General, it is evident that you are marked out for particular aim; would it not be prudent for you to retire from this place?''
45944There were many exclamations and questions,"How did it happen?"
45944Was he, brother Levis?
45944Was it justifiable?
45944Was n''t it something''bout a tea- party?"
45944Was resistance practicable?
45944What about it?"
45944What do they do at such times when they seem to be sailing around just for pleasure?"
45944What do you all say to the proposition?"
45944When am I to see your''Dolphin''?"
45944When he rejoined them Keith asked,"May I have the pleasure of showing you about, Raymond?"
45944Why do n''t you disperse, you rebels?
45944Will you walk down and look at that, sir?"
45944Wo n''t you?"
45944Would you all like to hear something more about his persecutor, Prescott?"
45944Would you like to go, Max?"
45944a son of yours, Raymond?
45944and did the men watch all the ships that had tea?"
45944and would Max like it, too?"
45944answered Max, in eager tones;"it''s about five o''clock we have to start,--isn''t it?"
45944are you, indeed?"
45944asked Eva,"were n''t they strong enough?"
45944do you treat me with the food of hogs?''
45944exclaimed Max, hotly;"but what did Jones say in reply, Papa?"
45944exclaimed Max;"Oh, Papa, are you going to buy it?"
45944exclaimed the Captain, at length, while at the same instant Max asked eagerly,"Papa, what is it they are doing there on the''Wanita''?"
45944laughed Max;"and I think he never did catch him,--did he, Papa?"
45944she cried in surprise;"how can they do it so quickly?
45944she exclaimed with warmth,--"wouldn''t it, Max?"
45944she exclaimed;"is that the best you can say about me?"
45944she sighed,"why could n''t it keep off for a few hours longer?"
45944the Captain said; then glancing round at the eager faces,"How many of you would like to go with us?"
45944they both replied; and Lulu asked,"Is that the English coat- of- arms on the big cannon?"
32163''But you surely do not consider his case and mine alike?'' 32163 ''Is there no way to spare his life?''
32163Afterward general, papa?
32163Ah, papa, I do not often object by word or look to your decisions nowadays, do I?
32163Ah? 32163 And God can take care of us there just as well as anywhere else, ca n''t he, papa?"
32163And as they burned the town, there are no Revolutionary houses to be seen there now, I suppose?
32163And carry us to some historical scenes, wo n''t it, papa?
32163And did he go right into our army, papa?
32163And did the British find out what was going on and attack our fellows?
32163And for papa to have these young girls all to himself, eh?
32163And how is it now?
32163And how soon does January come, papa?
32163And if the repairs are finished, will you send for her?
32163And is Wilkesbarre an Indian name too?
32163And it was a dreadfully hard fight for them; was n''t it, grandma?
32163And it was then he built the Fort Meigs you are taking us to, papa?
32163And now what can I do for your entertainment? 32163 And see the tree the silver bullet man was hung on?"
32163And that encouraged emigration to the Northwestern Territory, did it not, papa?
32163And the majority decide, I suppose?
32163And then we will start on our return journey, I suppose?
32163And there are boats passing up and down every day, I suppose?
32163And they are off, are they, father? 32163 And they listened to it all and never suspected him?"
32163And was Washington good to his wife and child?
32163And was nobody hurt, papa?
32163And was so filled with interesting occurrences that you hardly thought of your absent friends?
32163And was the rock too high and steep to climb, papa?
32163And were any of our people killed?
32163And who are you that dares to say such saucy things to our company?
32163And you will let me help you in that, sir?
32163And you, Grace, had so long a ride this morning that you are too tired for another, I presume?
32163And you, papa? 32163 Are there not a good many places in this neighborhood where something happened during the Revolution, papa?"
32163Are we about starting, Lu?
32163Are we going right on now to the islands in Lake Erie, papa?
32163Are you all too tired of travel to enjoy a sail-- perhaps only a short one-- up or down the river?
32163Are you not willing that we should, father?
32163Are you not willing to be on the_ Dolphin_ with us?
32163Because Jesus died for us and washed them all away in his precious blood?
32163Because the war was over?
32163Being a spy?
32163But I am a Yankee, am I not?
32163But it does n''t lie there now?
32163But perhaps the repairs you said she needed are not finished yet?
32163But when and where and how should I tell about Jesus to others?
32163But where''s that little pup that was in my pocket?
32163But who''ll take care of us?
32163But you did n''t because you wanted to give me and all the rest a pleasant surprise?
32163But you''ll do some more for us some other time, wo n''t you, Uncle Ronald?
32163But, mamma, why do n''t you and I stay with him? 32163 But, now, please wo n''t you go on and tell us some more?
32163Ca n''t Gracie and I occupy it to- night, papa? 32163 Ca n''t we go and see the Robinson House, on the other side of the river, papa?"
32163Can I go to you on the deck in the morning, papa?
32163Captain, was it not at Erie that General Wayne died?
32163Certainly, my son, he is the creator of all things, the ruler of all the universe, and''none can stay his hand or say unto him, What doest thou?''
32163Congress rewarded the men who took Andrà © prisoner, did it not, papa?
32163Cousin Ronald on your shoulder?
32163Did all of our men get shot?
32163Did he go over to the British, papa? 32163 Did he have any more such escapes, uncle?"
32163Did he return here, captain?
32163Did he stay in this country till the war was over, papa?
32163Did it do them any good to burn down the town, grandma?
32163Did n''t the British despise him, papa?
32163Did n''t they even try at all, uncle?
32163Did not Washington go from New Windsor to Peekskill?
32163Did our people get back the other fort, uncle?
32163Did the women and children run away, papa?
32163Did you invite him, papa, and who is he?
32163Did you order it brought here?
32163Did you sleep well?
32163Dinna ye think so?
32163Do n''t I?
32163Do n''t you think we should take Eva to visit the different islands in this group, papa?
32163Do you think he was as great a man as Napoleon, captain?
32163Do you think of going there to- day, papa?
32163Evelyn, what have you to say? 32163 Fighting the British in the Revolutionary War, do you mean, grandma?"
32163Fired by the Americans, papa, or by the British?
32163Have I said we could n''t?
32163Have n''t you another little story for us, mother?
32163Have we far to go now to get to Fort Meigs? 32163 He got into a boat, papa?"
32163He was n''t so bad a man as Arnold, was he, uncle?
32163How can we know if we belong to him, papa?
32163How could it be you? 32163 How could it get away so fast?
32163How far from New York is Newburgh, papa?
32163How much of it, papa?
32163I hope he did n''t get killed, papa?
32163I hope you too are satisfied, sir?
32163I often say to myself,''How could I ever live without my dear father?'' 32163 I suppose Crosby was a born American, uncle?"
32163I suppose they accepted it?
32163I think Wayne was wounded in the fight, was n''t he?
32163I think history says that Andrà © went through it all very bravely; does it not, captain?
32163I think there was something known of Arnold''s plot in England at that time; was there not, captain?
32163I wonder if Walter wo n''t be joining us soon?
32163In the meantime we may talk the matter over, I suppose, and see what the majority is in favor of?
32163Is Fort Stephenson still standing, papa?
32163Is Wyoming an English name?
32163Is he alive now, papa?
32163Is his grave there now, papa?
32163Is it haste to catch the first glimpse of Erie-- not lake but city-- that has brought you on deck so soon?
32163Is it right to hang a man just for being a spy?
32163Is it your doing? 32163 Is not that vicinity the scene of many of the incidents given in Cooper''s''Spy''?"
32163Is that a real, true story, papa?
32163Is that where we are going?
32163Is that why you are growing up, Uncle Walter?
32163Is the boy blind, that he goes right past a body and never sees him?
32163Is the storm over, father, do you think?
32163Is there a storm coming, father?
32163Is your sister Grace up yet?
32163It means a relation, does n''t it?
32163It''s always wicked on one side, but sometimes right on the other; is n''t it, grandma?
32163Just where is it, papa?
32163Kingston is a very old place, is it not?
32163Like papa?
32163May I run down and see, papa?
32163Meaning Grace and yourself, I suppose?
32163Nathan Hale? 32163 New York was a slave State at that time?"
32163No; what business has he to treat you so?
32163Not?
32163Now, is n''t it my turn, Eva?
32163Oh, Chester, Chester, where are you hurt?
32163Oh, Chester, how could I help it, when you have almost died for me?
32163Oh, ca n''t you tell us the whole story of it now, papa, and let us go to the place to- morrow?
32163Oh, can you paint out the house, father?
32163Oh, is it, papa?
32163Oh, it was just you, was it, Cousin Ronald?
32163Oh, papa, did he go and fight against his country?
32163Oh, papa, surely they did n''t surrender without fighting at all?
32163Oh, what about it, papa?
32163Ought I, papa?
32163Papa, are we going to visit any more places in this State where they had fights?
32163Papa, ca n''t you have our yacht brought here for us to go in?
32163Papa, did Major Croghan go to the general? 32163 Papa, did somebody call you?"
32163Papa, did the British carry off those of our men they had taken prisoners?
32163Papa, has Chester said anything to you?
32163Papa, was n''t the home of Captain Molly somewhere in this neighborhood?
32163Papa, what is there to see at Fishkill? 32163 Papa, when will Brother Max come home?"
32163Papa, why ca n''t we have our yacht come here so that we can go up and down in it?
32163Papa, you know you promised to tell about Nathan Hale; please wo n''t you do it now?
32163Papa,said Ned,"might n''t I ask him to stop this storm, so we could go right on home?"
32163Please, dear, good folks, wo n''t you all say what you want?
32163Say, youngsters, what have you done with my little dog? 32163 Seeing he has grown too auld to be trusted wi''wark in that line, eh, captain?"
32163So that we can start on our homeward journey?
32163So they came across the ocean and up this river and settled near Kingston, did they, grandma?
32163Suppose I take you to Newburgh, which is not very far away, and let you see the Hasbrouck House, Washington''s old headquarters? 32163 That Smith was a traitor too, was he not, captain?"
32163That scoundrel is dead?
32163The fort the British had built upon our ground without so much as saying by your leave?
32163The massacre of St. Bartholomew was before that, was n''t it, grandma?
32163The schoolroom as well as the rest?
32163The time will soon pass; and, to make it go faster, shall we not row over to one of the islands and have a stroll on the beach?
32163Then she is still free?
32163Then the Protestants moved away to escape being killed?
32163Then why did he get in my pocket?
32163Then you do n''t apprehend any danger?
32163Then you will go over there, wo n''t you, father?
32163There are not many more historic scenes in this State that we will care to visit at this time, are there, papa?
32163There were some fights there-- weren''t there, papa?
32163This will not be your first visit to Newburgh and the Hasbrouck House, mother?
32163Though occasionally not altogether agreeable to my eldest daughter, eh?
32163To be called a spy, papa?
32163To letting you tell your tale of love?
32163To- morrow is Friday, but you do n''t think it would be unlucky to start on a journey for that reason, father?
32163Was Erie a city at the time Perry''s fleet was built there, papa?
32163Was Kingston only a very little place then, grandma?
32163Was Proctor pleased with that answer, papa?
32163Was Tecumseh one of the deserters, papa?
32163Was anybody killed before that, papa?
32163Was anybody killed, papa?
32163Was n''t it somewhere in that region that Wayne fought one or more of his battles with the Indians?
32163Was n''t it there, father, that some of them had proposed to make him king?
32163Was the camp in the town, papa?
32163Wayne was very much praised for the taking of Stony Point, was n''t he, papa?
32163We have given you a surprise, have n''t we?
32163We will have a sermon, prayers, and hymns this morning, and a Bible class this afternoon, wo n''t we, papa?
32163We will start for home pretty soon, father, wo n''t we?
32163We will take up our studies again, papa, just as the little ones do, will we not?
32163Well, daughter, what would you like to do to- day?
32163Well, papa, where shall we go, or what shall we do, to- day?
32163Were the Huguenots there when all that happened, grandma?
32163Were the Indians all gone from about Kingston by that time, grandma?
32163Were you giving the boys a history of Kingston?
32163What do you say, mother?
32163What does go with the little scamp?
32163What does that mean, grandma?
32163What may be yours, Eva? 32163 What was that war about, papa?"
32163What would you think of a trip up to Kingston-- to view it as one of the scenes of Revolutionary occurrences?
32163What''ll he do? 32163 When the folks on one side are fighting for freedom, that''s right, is n''t it?"
32163When was it that Washington was there?
32163Where are we going to- morrow, papa?
32163Where are you going to take us to- morrow, papa?
32163Where did it go to?
32163Where did they go, grandma?
32163Where there were battles fought, son? 32163 Where would you like to go to- morrow?"
32163Who are you, anyhow?
32163Who owns this house now?
32163Who was it?
32163Who would dare call me that?
32163Why did n''t our men dig a well?
32163Why did they name this place Tarrytown, uncle?
32163Why not go to Fishkill to- morrow?
32163Why, papa?
32163Why, where did he go? 32163 Why, who was it?
32163Why,exclaimed the little fellow,"who said that?
32163Will it be a long voyage, captain?
32163Will that suit you, my dear?
32163Will we go on shore at Kingston, papa?
32163Will we have school to- morrow, papa?
32163Will you be mine?
32163Wo n''t you please tell us something about Baron Steuben, papa?
32163Yes, children,said Lucilla;"do n''t you remember papa''s telling us about some of the fights near Lake Erie, and Perry''s victory on the lake?"
32163Yes, sir; and has he not been caught and returned to his prison?
32163Yes, sir; but may n''t I stay with you for a little while? 32163 Yet there are times when one is really weary, that rest is right, are there not?"
32163You could telegraph, could n''t you, papa?
32163You remember the bit of news-- in regard to the escape of a convict-- which hastened our departure for the North some months ago?
32163You, sir?
32163''Do you know where we now are?''
32163''Sir, is not General Arnold here?''
32163''What place is it?''
32163''Where is General Proctor?''
32163''Whom can we trust now?''
32163An officer by his side asked,''Why this emotion, sir?''
32163And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?
32163And you''ll tell us about the land fights, wo n''t you, papa?"
32163Are all well at Fairview?"
32163Are you growing homesick?"
32163Are you not of the same opinion, mother?"
32163Bailey?"
32163But he did not live in Massachusetts?"
32163But what doings there have you to tell of, captain?"
32163But you are not willing that he should tell his love?--not willing to give me to him, however much he may desire it?"
32163CHAPTER V."How many would like to take another trip up or down the river to- morrow?"
32163Can you not give me a little love in return?"
32163Carest thou not that we perish?
32163Cousin Ronald, what can you tell us or read us on the subject?"
32163Dinsmore?"
32163Do all the company feel the same desire that Mrs. Lilburn has just expressed?"
32163Do n''t you think so, daughter?"
32163Do n''t you, grandma?"
32163Do n''t you, grandma?"
32163Do you mean to run into us?
32163Eric adding:"Have you been down by the river?
32163Have you any plans you would like carried out?"
32163Hope you all arrived safely and well?"
32163How canst thou lie asleep, When each moment so madly is threatening A grave in the angry deep?
32163How does he get away so fast?"
32163How long since you arrived?"
32163How many would like that?"
32163I hope you are not ill- pleased to own so auld a cousin?"
32163I suppose you left Grace still asleep?"
32163Is he still living, papa?"
32163Is not that so, Elsie and Ned?"
32163Is not this army composed of the same materials as that which fought and conquered under the immortal Wayne?
32163It is your wish, mother, is it not?"
32163Just then a rather discordant voice was heard calling,"Lu, Lu, what you''bout?
32163Little Elsie, who was sitting close beside it, sprang up with a startled cry of"Oh, whose dog and cat are they?"
32163Lucilla, can you tell us of a Bible saint who had learned this lesson?"
32163My husband will go with me, I know; and you too, Cousin Elsie, will you not?"
32163Now, what are you all laughing at?"
32163Papa, have n''t we just the very best country in all the world?"
32163Papa, how shall we spend this evening?"
32163Papa, is n''t that cloud spreading and growing darker?"
32163Papa,"turning to him,"shall we have our usual stroll back and forth upon the deck-- Percy joining us, if he wishes?"
32163She followed him into the library, asking,"Have n''t you some letters to be answered, father?
32163She gave him a rather startled, inquiring look, asking,"About what, papa?"
32163So he was as bad as a murderer; was n''t he?"
32163Sydney said inquiringly,"Lady Washington was here with her husband, was she not?"
32163That part was built in 1750, was it not?"
32163The captain paused in his narrative, and Eric asked,"What did Arnold write to Washington about, uncle?"
32163The dominion of Christ, is it not, father?"
32163The morning found them all in good health and good spirits, and as they sat about the breakfast table the captain asked:"Where shall we go to- day?
32163Then a loud, rough voice said:"Hello there, youngsters, what are you bothering with that stupid old fellow for?
32163Then a voice seemed to come from a distant corner:"Ca n''t you let that poor old man alone?
32163Then, turning to Violet,"Could not you give us a bit o''sacred music, cousin?"
32163They knew they had somewhere seen something like it before-- but where?
32163They were surprised at first, laughed, asking,"Was that you, Uncle Ronald?"
32163This-- Lake Erie-- is as much of a sea as the Lake of Tiberias or Sea of Galilee, is n''t it, papa?"
32163Was he not rewarded for his gallant defence of Fort Stephenson?"
32163Was it not so, papa?"
32163Well, is that fellow living or dead?"
32163Well, you came to say good- night to your father in the usual way, I suppose?"
32163Were you moping at home all the time?"
32163What are your opinions and feelings on the subject, my dear?"
32163What do you say to it, captain?"
32163What''s the matter here to- night, that we hear so many folks that we ca n''t see?"
32163What''s the matter with me?
32163What''s the way to do it?"
32163Where is it?"
32163Who was he, papa?
32163Why did n''t I think before?
32163Why do n''t you leave him and go off to your sports?
32163Why, you are out unusually early, are you not?"
32163Will we not, captain?"
32163Will you please read it to us?"
32163With a startled jump and exclamation,"Oh, how did it get in there?"
32163Wo n''t you let us?"
32163Wo n''t you please send for it?"
32163Would n''t you, Neddie?"
32163am I going blind?"
32163and how many doors?"
32163and is it just as it was when Harrison and his men were there?"
32163and is there a walk along down by the waters edge?"
32163and shall I not write them for you on the typewriter?"
32163and was he very cross to him?"
32163and what did he do?"
32163and what happened there in the Revolution?"
32163and where did she go to?"
32163and why could n''t we see him?"
32163and without anybody seeing it?"
32163asked Don;"and why do n''t you show yourself?
32163asked her father, as she paused;"do you care for him at all?
32163can you give him any return of affection?"
32163did you bring that dog here?"
32163did you sleep well?"
32163exclaimed Ned;"then who invited you?"
32163is n''t that a rash choice?"
32163p''raps hurt me worse than the bee has?"
32163she leaves soon?"
32163the world is well rid of him; but what has become of his soul?"
32163they all exclaimed; Grace adding,"And, papa, wo n''t you take us to Gibraltar?
32163what are you now, sonny?"
32163who can she have been?"
14883About as old as I am?
14883Ah, Aunt Louise, how d''ye do?
14883Ah, grandpa''s little cricket, what is it? 14883 Am I not too heavy for you to hold?"
14883An escort, grandpa?
14883An''put dese on fo''you too, Miss?
14883And I too?
14883And are grandpa and I to read both epistles-- yours and his?
14883And do you not mean to gratify my curiosity as to what has been the cause of your many and prolonged absences, Miss Violet?
14883And how handsome he is?
14883And is he really so very ill?
14883And shall we not always love each other for your dear father''s sake?
14883And so you have said your suitor nay?
14883And then you''ll let me try, wo n''t you?
14883And what think you of Violet''s beauty?
14883And why are you to go with her? 14883 And you can die in peace, trusting in the Saviour of sinners?"
14883Are the children in bed and asleep?
14883Are the family all out of it?
14883Are you hungry, Gracie darling?
14883Are you not disobeying orders, sir, and in some danger of suffering for it?
14883Are you on his side, grandpa?
14883Are you well, my dear father?
14883But are you not too tired to- night for such a walk? 14883 But may I understand that you do not object to me personally?"
14883But our poor injured guest, father? 14883 But where are Vi and her brothers?"
14883But why does n''t their mamma do it? 14883 But wo n''t you come in?"
14883But you have no objection to him, more than you would have to any one else?
14883But your friends, your relatives?
14883By the way, should not some word be sent to his wife?
14883Ca n''t I have something else? 14883 Can you not see that we are ladies?
14883Can you spare your mother, Arthur?
14883Can you wait till papa comes down?
14883Can you, do you love me, dear little Zoe?
14883Certainly, aunt; but shall we not first drive to Virginia''s residence and leave you there? 14883 Danger of what, mother?"
14883Dear papa, wo n''t you sit down?
14883Dearest mamma,she murmured, stealing an arm about her mother''s waist,"does it please you?"
14883Den what am to be done, sah?
14883Did he tell you then he was sorry for having abused you so when you were innocent?
14883Did n''t Captain Raymond look handsome in his uniform?
14883Did you get some sleep?
14883Do n''t be afraid of your father, Max,he said kindly,"why should you?"
14883Do you deem me capable of such rudeness, Miss Travilla?
14883Do you feel strong enough for the drive, dear?
14883Do you get enough, Max?
14883Do you mean to kill me?
14883Do you s''pose it''s noon yet, Jim?
14883Do you think I ought to excuse you on that account?
14883Does Mr. Henry Neuville live here?
14883Does she seem happy, mamma, and like one of us?
14883Elsie? 14883 Father, what shall we do?
14883Filial ingratitude? 14883 Fire?
14883Give her to you?
14883Grandpa and Edward have told me,Violet said,"and you will let me help you, my poor dear sister?
14883Grandpa, did you find what you wanted in the morning paper?
14883Has Virginia made a really good match?
14883Has n''t come yet, do you say, Ben? 14883 Has this holy day brought no good thoughts or feelings to my little girl?"
14883Has your grandpa seen it?
14883Have n''t you? 14883 Have you a little girl of your own, sir?"
14883Have you any boys?
14883Have you anything to say to me, Lucilla?
14883Have you caught any?
14883Have you everything you want in your room, Max?
14883He is a good boy to take the trouble to tell us everything in detail; is he not, papa?
14883How are they to- day?
14883How are you, Miss Elsie? 14883 How are you?
14883How can I?
14883How could I tell the time? 14883 How did you get here?
14883How do you know that you are not wanted by your mamma or myself? 14883 How is she-- the old negress?
14883I am obliged for your offer, but where would be the use? 14883 I have n''t said so, have I?
14883I never had any, papa, had I?
14883I told you I would n''t go without my supper, and you did n''t have Ann get any for me; so what could I do but go and help myself?
14883I used to look up to you years ago, but now----"You look down on me?
14883If she will be of any use or comfort to her, you were about to say? 14883 If you please, papa, we will take a little time to consider that question; shall we not?"
14883In regard to what?
14883Is it good news?
14883Is it love or compassion only that moves you to this most generous offer?
14883Is my son Arthur here?
14883Is n''t she pretty? 14883 Is n''t there plenty of flesh there to hide the bones?"
14883Is she-- is she alive?
14883Is there any danger, Arthur?
14883Lucilla Raymond, to whom were you speaking?
14883Lulu, dear,she said, as the child came in,"you want to change your dress I suppose?
14883Lulu, did it use to make us sick to eat supper when we lived with papa and mamma?
14883Mamma Vi, do n''t you want to see my room?
14883Mamma Vi, what shall I wear?
14883Mamma, what do you think about it?
14883Mamma, you know?
14883Mamma,said Rosie,"I do n''t care to go in to- day, but may I go down on the beach and watch the bathers?"
14883Max shall go too, Captain, sha n''t he?
14883Max, ca n''t we write him a letter?
14883Max, my son, do you know of any place near at hand where oranges, bananas, cakes, and candies are to be had?
14883May I ask on what account?
14883May I come in?
14883May I go too, papa?
14883May I go too, sir?
14883May I tell, Vi?
14883May n''t I go into some other room to wash and dress?
14883Mr. Dinsmore, from the Oaks or Ion, is n''t it?
14883My dear brother, how can I thank you enough?
14883My father ill?
14883No time now fo''me to go an''hunt up Miss Louise, Marse Ed''ard? 14883 No, dear child, you are more His than mine, and I dare not, would not interfere if He has sent you work; but the question is, has He done so?"
14883O Edward, if they do, will you turn against me?
14883O Gracie dear, are you better?
14883Oh, ai n''t dar nobody to help ole Aunt Betsy?
14883Oh, captain, you will not leave them there where they are so ill used?
14883Oh, mother, mother, what is it? 14883 Oh, shall I?
14883Oh, will she die? 14883 Oh,"cried Lulu half breathlessly,"where did they come from?"
14883Oh,said Max, laughing,"she''s half boy; ai n''t you, Lu?"
14883Oh,she murmured very low and sadly, leaning on her brother''s shoulder and clinging more closely to him,"shall we ever return?
14883On shipboard?
14883Papa, ca n''t I see Gracie?
14883Papa, how can you go on trying to make me tell a lie when you have always taught me it was such a wicked, wicked thing to do?
14883Papa,she said, when he came with her breakfast on the fourth day,"may n''t I go and run on the beach for ten minutes and then come back?"
14883Rather non- committal, is n''t it, little cricket?
14883Shall I go away, Vi, and leave you and your mamma to your confidences?
14883Shall I have a good- night kiss from you too, dear?
14883Shall I send Ben for a physician?
14883Shall we not wait until we have heard his story?
14883She is married? 14883 She rejected your suit?"
14883She''ll help us dig worms for bait, wo n''t you, Lu?
14883So am I, Lu, for now you''ll have time to make that new dress for my dollie, wo n''t you?
14883Some friends of Signor Leland: from America?
14883The sick little ones? 14883 Then why make it, mother?
14883Then you give me some hope?
14883Then you''ve no intention of trying for her?
14883There, Zoe, what think you of your husband''s bachelor quarters?
14883They are not at home then?
14883They have been quite sick?
14883This is a very sudden resolve of yours, mother, is n''t it?
14883This is not her home?
14883Virginia is coming too?
14883Wait, Rosie, do n''t you see mamma is going to read the letters? 14883 Was he so sorry?"
14883Was it wrong, mamma,she asked,"to think he might perhaps be allowed to be a ministering spirit to me in my loneliness?
14883We are going to belong to each other, are we not?
14883What can you do with a rope, Raymond?
14883What dat dey say, Miss Elsie?
14883What did I tell you about leaving this room?
14883What did you do? 14883 What do you mean by coming here to interfere in my business?"
14883What do you mean by rushing in on me in this rude way, you young rascal?
14883What do you think of Captain Raymond?
14883What is it, Max?
14883What is it, my darling?
14883What is it? 14883 What is it?
14883What is it? 14883 What is it?"
14883What is the particular burden to- night?
14883What is your entreaty, daughter?
14883What makes her so cross?
14883What should call you two children there at this time?
14883What''ll she do about it?
14883What''s that?
14883What''s wanted?
14883When will papa come? 14883 Where are you going?"
14883Where are you hurt, sir?
14883Where are you taking me? 14883 Where is Virginia?"
14883Where is mamma, Prilla?
14883Where is mamma?
14883Where is she?
14883Which way''s the sun?
14883Who came in with you?
14883Who did get married with my sister Elsie, mamma?
14883Who is it?
14883Who, my pet? 14883 Whose is it, Max?"
14883Why, my poor boy, where have you been? 14883 Will you break the news to her?
14883Will you not, dears?
14883Wo n''t she be mad because you came without asking her, Lu?
14883Would mine be sufficient? 14883 Would n''t it be jolly fun?"
14883Would n''t it be well for me to learn the way there, so that I can do the errand next time?
14883Would you have believed it? 14883 Would you like my mother or me to help you choose what to wear to- night?
14883Would you like to go back to them?
14883Yes, but-- O Edward, how will I be received?
14883Yes, if you approve, Levis?
14883Yes, indeed; do n''t you think I have as much reason to envy his appearance as a groom as you Vi''s as a bride?
14883Yes, shall I be your grandma, my child?
14883Yes, she''s just lovely; but why do n''t you say who she is, if you know?
14883Yes, sir,said Max;"but if you and Mamma Vi should both happen to be out?"
14883Yes, sir; and shall we not turn now? 14883 Yes, sister, do you not wish to see the last you may, for the present, of your dear native land?"
14883You accompany us, of course, Arthur?
14883You are happy?
14883You are satisfied?
14883You can assure us of a welcome at both places?
14883You did n''t let worrying thoughts keep you awake?
14883You do n''t know the name, Ben?
14883You do not care for him at all?
14883You will come with us, Aunt Louise, will you not?
14883You''ll come too, wo n''t you?
14883Your sister is well, I hope?
14883All well at Ion?"
14883Am I all right?"
14883And I return for you after seeing my sister and the luggage on board the steamer?"
14883And even if she should arrive safely in her own country, what was to become of her then?
14883And if she loves him wo n''t she want to be good to his children?
14883And no one with him but his daughter?"
14883And shall I shrink from enduring a little in His service?
14883And you?
14883And, Lulu, where did you get those pretty things?"
14883And, since I am not old enough to be your mother, you will let me be your older sister; wo n''t you?"
14883Anybody else in the house awake?"
14883Are n''t you, Maxie?"
14883Are you not sorry for your rebellious reply to me a moment since?
14883Are you not willing to let me settle this question of duty for myself?"
14883At this moment the door of the adjoining room opened and Zoe''s voice was heard in imploring, tearful accents:"May n''t I come back now?
14883But how is she?
14883But how was it in your own case, Mrs. Travilla?
14883But is it not an understood thing that curiosity is a peculiarly feminine trait?"
14883But oh, tell me, please, is Gracie very sick?"
14883But will it not make it necessary for us to return home earlier than we intended?"
14883But you say my note is n''t a rejection, so will you please give it to him?
14883But you will tell her everything as soon as you can?"
14883But, friends, are you not needed over there at the fire?
14883But, my dear madam, would my children be any better off if I should remain single?
14883Ca n''t you take me upstairs here when they are all in the other house?"
14883Can I hope to see Lulu and Gracie growing up into such lovely maidenhood as that of Miss Violet?"
14883Can nothing be done to better her condition?"
14883Can she be Miss Violet''s own mother?
14883Can you do everything for yourself, my child?"
14883Could it be possible that Virginia had come to this?
14883Could it be that his father had changed his mind, and was about to give him the dreaded flogging after all?
14883Do n''t you and Miss Elsie want for to see it?"
14883Do you know where my father is?"
14883Do you not think it must have been a sudden seizure?"
14883Do you think you can both be ready?"
14883Does she not, children?"
14883Edward remarked lightly;"are you not imposing rather hard conditions, Captain?"
14883Edward returned presently, and as he resumed his seat by Philip''s side the latter asked,"Is your sister out of health, Ned?"
14883Edward, do you know that our good doctor is a Waldensian?"
14883Edward, you will see that my luggage is taken on board?"
14883Gracie, dear, I''m going over to speak to mamma; shall I take you with me?"
14883Gracie, you wo n''t mind being left alone for just a little bit?
14883Have I not promised to love and cherish you to life''s end?
14883Have I your consent, sir?"
14883Have n''t we, Gracie?"
14883Have you slept?"
14883Have you the key of your trunk?"
14883He did not speak for a moment, then, with a heavy sigh,"Has it come to this already,"he said"that we are likely to lose our little Vi?
14883He expressed approval of her decision, adding interrogatively,"You will breakfast with the family this morning?"
14883He was not wealthy then?
14883He was rich enough, and why should he keep her in suspense any longer?
14883His passenger put out her head, glanced this way and that, scanned the house before her, and angrily demanded,"What are you stopping here for?"
14883How are the children?"
14883How can I leave mamma and all of you?
14883How does he treat his wife?"
14883How has he borne this shock?"
14883How is Gracie?"
14883How is he?"
14883How is it in regard to that?"
14883How soon can you be spared from here, Arthur?"
14883How will anybody know which I mean, if I call you both so?"
14883How would my little Gracie like to have a dear kind grandpa and grandma?"
14883I had so fully resolved to return to- day to my vessel, and now when may I hope to see her?
14883I mean has he no friends with him?"
14883If you had been drowned, Max, do you know that it would have gone near to break your father''s heart?
14883Is he quite alone, Ben?
14883Is it not as this mouth should tear this hand For lifting food to''t?"
14883Is she not well?"
14883Is that the name you have chosen for yourself, my love?"
14883Leland?"
14883Lulu accepted the invitation in an eager, joyous way, then asked,"May I see Gracie before I go to bed?"
14883Max,"he said;"we''ve a splendid day for fishing, have n''t we?"
14883May I hope for the pleasure of visiting it when I recover the free use of my limbs?"
14883May I kiss you?
14883May I not know?"
14883May n''t I go to papa and tell him how sorry I am, and ask him to forgive me too?"
14883Mr. Dinsmore, entering the room at the moment, asked playfully,"What is the particular evidence of that patent at this time, Vi?"
14883My son, my dear son, will not you come now?
14883Now I''d like to know what I have to be grateful for toward you?
14883Now, my dear little girl, shall I take you upstairs that you may change your dress before tea?"
14883O Gracie, Gracie, why did mamma die?
14883O Vi, can I help going to him, even at the sacrifice of leaving all other near and dear ones?"
14883Oh, Ned, how long will it be before I see her again?"
14883Oh, how can I stay away and leave him to die alone?
14883Oh, tell me, is she going to die?"
14883Or has he lost his means since the marriage?"
14883Papa, wo n''t you pray for me?"
14883Raymond is to be pitied?
14883Raymond still the same?"
14883Raymond?"
14883Scrimp say?"
14883Shall I help Ann clean the fish?"
14883Shall I number you among my grandchildren?"
14883Shall I send Ben for him?"
14883She will find everything needful in that room, will she, mamma?"
14883Silence fell between them for a moment, then the old gentleman asked,"What arrangements have the boys made?
14883Then after a moment''s silence,"Do you think, Levis, that they will be pleased that-- that you have given them a step- mother?"
14883Then in a whisper,"Who''s this you''re taking along?"
14883Then, with a slightly embarrassed air,"Miss Travilla,"he said,"I should like to-- would you accept a Christmas gift from me?"
14883Turning inquiringly to her mother,"What room can she have, mamma?"
14883Under such circumstances, how could he wait for his little wife?
14883Was it by the advice of a competent physician you subjected her to such a regimen?"
14883Was she much injured by the fall?"
14883We will do all we can to make her happy and at home among us, shall we not?"
14883What do you mean by bringing me into such a vile region as this?"
14883What do you mean by talking in that way, Aunt Beulah?"
14883What is it you wish to say to me?"
14883What is the time fixed upon for the ceremony which is to rob you of your patronymic, sister mine?"
14883What more could she ask for her beloved child, for this life, than such wedded bliss as she herself had known?
14883What shall it be?"
14883What was the immediate cause of the attack?"
14883What would become of her if left to the unrestrained indulgence of such a temper and spirit of insubordination as she has shown this morning?"
14883Who loves me better?
14883Who was it?"
14883Will my Max be as fine a lad as Harold or Herbert?
14883Will not that be nice?"
14883Will not your mother go with us?"
14883Will you accept my hand( the heart you have already won) and give me yours in exchange?
14883Will you be my dear little wife?
14883Will you come now and speak to him?"
14883Will you come with me?
14883Will you force me to try the virtue of a rod with you, Lucilla?"
14883Will you go with us to the depôt, father?"
14883Will you take it?"
14883Would Mr. Dinsmore and his daughter, so noble themselves, be ready to impute so unworthy a motive to him?
14883Would not she and her mother and grandfather consent to let him claim her in June?
14883You approve of him, do you not?"
14883You have seen the fire, I suppose?
14883You saw my sister Elsie in Rome-- would you fear her?"
14883You take the night train I understand?"
14883You two are n''t here alone, eh?"
14883You wo n''t forget to ask God''s protection before you sleep, and thank him for his love and care?
14883You wo n''t tell on me, will you?
14883all about Elsie''s wedding?"
14883and has gone to a home of her own?"
14883and may I call you Mamma Vi now?"
14883and the vessel about to sail?"
14883and to find pleasure in the thought?"
14883and what has happened to you?"
14883and you, Ned?
14883as he perceived her emotion and took note of the miniature in her hand,"is it not a speaking likeness?"
14883breakers ahead, do you say?''"
14883can it be possible that I find you in such a place as this?"
14883can it be you?"
14883cried Philip, starting to his feet,"her betrothed did you say?
14883did you rest well?"
14883do you miss your playfellows?"
14883ever see again the dear land of our birth and all our loved ones left behind?"
14883except yourself-- and who would take such tender care of me?"
14883had you not heard?"
14883his name?"
14883how can I let him die all alone in a stranger land?
14883how could I?"
14883how did you come?
14883how did you sleep?"
14883is it that she is so anxious about Elsie and Walter?
14883is n''t she perfectly beautiful, and sweet- looking as she can be?"
14883must I lose her too?"
14883my darling?"
14883off to Europe?"
14883or shall I?"
14883she cried,"is it from papa?"
14883she queried in a startled tone,"Miss Louise sick?"
14883she said, thanking him with a sweet though tearful smile;"but are they suitable for such a bridal as this?"
14883she sobbed,"what shall I do?
14883tell her at once?
14883the captain said, suddenly becoming aware of her presence, and turning toward her with outstretched hand,"how d''ye do?
14883they''re just fresh out of the water, and wo n''t they make us a nice dinner?"
14883were n''t you hungry for some supper last night?"
14883what can you mean, daughter?"
14883what has disturbed you so?"
14883what is it he does to you?"
14883where?"
14883who has dared to ill use you?"
14883why did God take her away from us when we need her so much?
14883why do n''t the mother and grandfather and the whole family accompany her, after their usual fashion of all keeping together?"
14883will she die?"
14883will you leave a helpless old woman to be burnt alive?"
14883will you marry me now, to- night, that your father may be present and feel that he will not leave you alone and unprotected?"
14883will you not tell me so, and do at once what I have bidden you?"
14883wo n''t you please forgive me for being so very, very naughty and impertinent?
13379A brother is of some use sometimes, is n''t he?
13379Ah, what can be the matter?
13379Am I actually growing so extremely old?
13379And I suppose they are very nice girls?
13379And I''m not often in any other with you, Maxie; now am I?
13379And am I to be entirely neglected in your invitation?
13379And did not choose to obey? 13379 And it was he they were threatening?"
13379And was executed for it?
13379And we wo n''t tell her father the whole unpleasant truth, will we, grandpa?
13379And who will teach us larger girls, mamma?
13379And why not, pray?
13379And you are quite well?
13379And you think that an additional reason for liking her?
13379And you would n''t like that?
13379And, Lulu, dear,she added entreatingly,"you will try not to furnish him the slightest excuse for punishing you, will you not?"
13379Are they not afraid of the judgments of God against such fearfully wicked deeds?
13379Are we not going too?
13379Are we to leave soon? 13379 Are you not?"
13379Are you quite sure, Rosie, that when you rouse it by exasperating remarks you do not share the sin?
13379Are you to go to school?
13379Aunt Elsie, shall I show you to your room?
13379Aunt Elsie,she said at length,"do you know what is to be done with the house while mamma and I are away?
13379Aunt Zoe, I hope you have a little better opinion of me than Rosie seems to have?
13379Because you all look so excited, and-- what''s your hand wrapped up for, Lu?
13379Boys and girls both?
13379But did he let you have your own way?
13379But do n''t you miss him very much, Aunt Chloe?
13379But it makes people sick?
13379But oh, Lu,cried Nettie Vance, the one who had brought the signor''s message,"do tell me, did n''t you strike him back?
13379But shall we not yield to the child''s wishes so far as to warn the man beforehand that he is never, upon any pretext, to give her a blow? 13379 But suppose I do n''t want to be good?"
13379But we have lost our way,concluded Christine, with a look of distress,"and how are we to find it?
13379But what have your intentions to do with it?
13379But what if I have not finished undressing?
13379But what is to become of me?
13379But what''s the matter? 13379 But where, dear lady?"
13379But why is such terrible wickedness and oppression allowed by your government?
13379But women may remain single if they choose?
13379But you are not afraid, mammy?
13379But you will be on your guard?
13379Ca n''t it wait till to- morrow, papa?
13379Ca n''t you?
13379Come, come, girls,interposed Zoe,"you surely are not going to quarrel about nothing?"
13379Could it be English? 13379 Dat yo'', honey?
13379Dear child,she said,"how could we be otherwise?
13379Dear mammy,Elsie said with emotion, laying her hand tenderly on the sable brow,"are you feeling weaker or in any way worse than usual?"
13379Dear papa, wo n''t you please write soon again and say that you forgive me?
13379Did he not tell you that they teach and practice polygamy?
13379Did he really strike you, Lu?
13379Did he?
13379Did n''t something happen here, uncle, in the time of the Ku- Klux raids? 13379 Did you hear me, miss?"
13379Do I, indeed? 13379 Do n''t you enjoy being at home again after your long absence?"
13379Do n''t you remember the Bible verse we learned the other day?
13379Do n''t you think other people find it hard, too, my poor child?
13379Do n''t you want to finish that pretty bracket you were at yesterday?
13379Do the fingers feel better?
13379Do you hear, Miss Raymond? 13379 Do you hear, Miss Raymond?"
13379Do you know what she says, sir?
13379Do you like Professor Manton, Eva?
13379Do you mean that papa is drowned? 13379 Do you really think this basket is handsome-- I mean without making allowance for my age?"
13379Do you really wish it, Evelyn? 13379 Do you think I am afraid of_ you_?"
13379Do you think I have told papa everything I ought, Eva?
13379Do you think I should talk with her about it?
13379Do you wish you were with her, Eva?
13379Does he hope to make you well very soon?
13379Eva, would you like to drive over to Ion with me this morning?
13379Five?
13379Flounces on this skirt, I suppose, Miss? 13379 For what hour will you have the carriage ordered, my dear?"
13379Glad of what?
13379Gone down?
13379Gone down?
13379Good- night, sir,she said; then turning to Zoe,"And you, dear lady, will let me do some work for you to- morrow?"
13379Grandma Elsie, how are Gracie and baby?
13379Grandpa, do n''t you think that man has behaved badly enough to deserve to lose his pupil?
13379Has n''t he? 13379 Have you?"
13379How could I, or any one, with such a father as mine?
13379How could that be?
13379How did you take it?
13379How do you like housekeeping?
13379How far is Oakdale Academy from here, Grandma Elsie?
13379How is that? 13379 How many boys go to the school, Grandma Elsie, and who teaches them?"
13379How would your father feel? 13379 How?"
13379I approve of that course,he answered;"but what shall they be?
13379I can hardly feel it to be such when I think of your poor brother-- our brother; for is he not mine also? 13379 I hope you returned the blow?
13379I hope you slept well and feel refreshed?
13379I hope you will go with us?
13379I need n''t say much-- need I, Max?
13379I never can do without you; and do n''t you care to be with me?
13379I will try, mamma; and wo n''t you help me?
13379If I do n''t mind? 13379 Is He hyar?"
13379Is Lulu going away?
13379Is it not the noblest course of action I am urging upon you? 13379 Is it so very dreadful to live in this house with you?"
13379Is it so, Gracie? 13379 Is n''t it just possible you may be a little hard on Rosie?"
13379Is not this the road to take us there?
13379Is that so? 13379 Lulu, why ca n''t you behave?"
13379Mamma Vi, can I do anything to help you?
13379Mamma Vi,she said,"is n''t she a darling?"
13379Mamma dear, you will go with us, will you not?
13379Mamma, how can you speak such cruel words to me?
13379Mamma, what is it?
13379Mamma, what_ do_ you_ really_ think?
13379Mammy, dear,she said interrogatively,"you are not grieving very much for Uncle Joe?"
13379Max, Max, what is it?
13379Max, my boy, how came you here?
13379May I go, Aunt Elsie?
13379May I tell Lulu that you will teach her if Grandpa Dinsmore will not?
13379My boys? 13379 My darling,"he whispered, drawing her to him,"my poor darling; so they have told you?
13379My father?--what about my father?
13379No; but what do you suppose papa would say to this morning''s behavior?
13379Nothing, mamma, only--"Something your correct taste disapproves about my attire?
13379O Max, what about papa?
13379O Max,she cried,"are they worse?--dying?
13379O papa, how can it be best for me, when you are such a help to me in going that road; the only help I have?
13379O sir, what shall we do?
13379Of course; for she looks upon him as a sort of great- grand child, does she not?
13379Oh, Gracie, why was n''t I made good like you?
13379Oh, Lulu, is it not delightful that we are to go so soon to that lovely Viamede?
13379Oh, Max, will Grandpa Dinsmore think I--?
13379Oh, Ned, is there any danger?
13379Oh, are they suffering very much?
13379Oh, dat de way He hyar? 13379 Oh, did you?"
13379Oh, it''s only you, is it, Gracie?
13379Oh, papa, what is wrong?
13379Oh, sir, are you quite sure of it?
13379Oh, then, wo n''t you come out to the summer- house and lie in the hammock there, with me close beside you to wait on you?
13379Oh, what is the matter? 13379 Oh, why am I not a better girl?"
13379Oh, why ca n''t I be as good as Max and Gracie?
13379One third to me and two to her, I suppose?
13379Only Miss Lulu? 13379 Play in de true time or I vill--""You will what?"
13379Pray, were you let into the secret of the arrangements made in my absence?
13379Quite, thank you; but about yourself, Eric? 13379 Shall we not try mild measures at first, papa?"
13379She''s full of her fun, do n''t you see? 13379 Should you?
13379So it does,said Max;"but we all love her so that we want to be some relation, and ca n''t bear to say Mrs. Travilla, and what can be done about it?"
13379So long to wait?
13379Spend weeks and months in a dull country place, with no more enlivening society than that of your uncle and aunt? 13379 Stay a moment, dear,"Violet said in her gentlest, sweetest tone;"I am writing to your father: what shall I say about you?"
13379Suppose a man has promised to commit murder; should he keep that promise or break it?
13379Surely her mother can not help being fond of her, and you would not separate them, Eric?
13379Tell me about it; how did you do it?
13379Then if to- morrow she refuses to finish that interrupted lesson, you would have me simply report the fact to you?
13379Then why send for the doctor, papa?
13379Then with Max or Lulu?
13379Then you are to have some medicine, I suppose?
13379Then you deliberately defy the authority of both the professor and myself?
13379Then you will be ready for the trip as soon as any of us?
13379These rooms for us? 13379 They believe the Bible,"she answered;"they preach the gospel of Christ as the Bible teaches it; else how could I have listened to him?
13379This change of plan will involve some change in your intended preparations, will it not, Elsie?
13379We have fallen in with the best of friends, Christine,said Alma,"have we not?
13379We love each other very dearly, do we not, my darling?
13379Well, Aunt Kitty, I suppose you have one of your excellent suppers ready for us hungry travelers?
13379Well, Mamma Vi, if I must try it, wo n''t you tell him beforehand that he is never to strike me? 13379 Well, and what of it?
13379Well, lassie, what think you of Fairview?
13379Well, what is it, Lu?
13379Well, what is the conclusion arrived at? 13379 Well?"
13379Were you ever so naughty that your father told you you gave him a great deal of trouble and heartache?
13379Were you expecting us, Lulu?
13379Were you not told to do so?
13379Whar yo''fin''Him, Miss Gracie?
13379What arrangements, mamma?
13379What can you do?
13379What did she say after I left the room?
13379What did she say? 13379 What did the doctor say, papa?"
13379What did you expect? 13379 What difference does it make what people think of you?"
13379What do you mean by that impertinent question?
13379What do you say, Elsie?
13379What do you say, Marcia?
13379What do you say, grandpa, grandma, and mamma,she wound up,"shall we insist on her taking music- lessons of Signor Foresti?"
13379What do you think about it, papa?
13379What does he say? 13379 What does your mamma say?"
13379What had you done or said that she should think herself entitled to an apology?
13379What is it all about?
13379What is it, Max?
13379What is it, dear brother?
13379What is it, dear? 13379 What is it?"
13379What is money without papa to help us enjoy it?
13379What is that? 13379 What is the matter?"
13379What is the meaning of such talk, Lulu?
13379What is wrong?
13379What kind of a time have you had?
13379What more can I do, Mamma Vi?
13379What verse, mammy dear? 13379 What was the debt, and who owes it?"
13379What''s he going to tell?
13379What''s the matter?
13379What, may I ask, is the subject of your meditations, little woman?
13379What-- what is it about, papa?
13379What?
13379When do we begin there?
13379When they get up in the hundreds, for instance?
13379When was Aunt Wealthy''s birthday?
13379Where is Lulu?
13379Where is your sister?
13379Where''s Gracie? 13379 Who did that?
13379Who dis?
13379Who is mammy?
13379Who knows the joys of friendship-- The trust, security, and mutual tenderness, The double joys, where each is glad for both?
13379Why Eva, what has come over you?
13379Why do you suppose she said anything?
13379Why do you think anything is?
13379Why not?
13379Why, my darling, what is the matter?
13379Why, what do you mean, Ned?
13379Why?
13379Will they stop the cars and let us out?
13379Will you excuse me, Aunt Elsie, if I open my letter now just for a peep?
13379Will you go with us, Mamma Vi?
13379Would you keep us so long from home, my sweet cousin?
13379Yes, Mamma Vi, I have an idea that it''s a good deal like a prison- cell; but what do I care for that? 13379 Yes, Miss Rosie, whar you s''pose Miss Gracie done gone?"
13379Yes, is n''t she?
13379Yes, mamma, dear, what is it?
13379Yes, mamma, dearest, I am very sorry for you; but for her it should be all joy, should it not? 13379 Yes, mammy,"assented Elsie;"you remember it well?"
13379Yes, why indeed? 13379 Yes, yes, certainly; but what measure would you have me take to bring her to submission?"
13379Yes; I know, and I am glad for him; but oh, who will be with me when he is gone? 13379 Yes; I shall be glad for papa; but O Aunt Elsie, what can I do without him?"
13379Yes; and is n''t a sister, too?
13379Yes; it has often been a comfort to me,she said,"as which of His great and precious promises has not?
13379You are quite resolved to leave us, then, Lulu?
13379You are suffocating me; ca n''t you see it? 13379 You can never think well of me again, Aunt Elsie?"
13379You have told me everything?
13379You here, Lu?
13379You know you could n''t spare me, do n''t you?
13379You like the idea of going to school again, Max?
13379You really desire to know the worst, my dear sir?
13379You will go with us, of course, Elsie?
13379You would like to come too?
13379Young ladies,said a severely reproving voice behind them,"why are you tarrying here?
13379''Who shall separate us''?"
13379And ca n''t Jesus help you to want to always?
13379And do n''t you think Grandpa Dinsmore was very hard on me to say I must?
13379And now shall we go in to breakfast?
13379And should she ever see father, brother, sisters again?
13379And what''s the use when it hurts him so to hear it?
13379And wo n''t you let me tell Patrick to go for the doctor when he has taken mamma to Riverside?"
13379And you would n''t mind that, would you?"
13379Are n''t you, you darling little pet?"
13379Are we not going very fast?"
13379Are you ill, Eric?"
13379As to the other, why not let them have their meals served in the sewing- room and occupy the bedroom opening into it?"
13379At that Betty quickened her pace, and the next moment was at Violet''s dressing- room door, peeping in and asking,"You dar, Miss Gracie?"
13379Besides, do you suppose he has had as good religious teaching as you and I?"
13379Besides, what is the use of my giving my opinion, since you choose to believe I am capable of intentionally deceiving you?"
13379Both laughed in a pleased way, her uncle saying,"So you have been watching us?"
13379But before Lulu could reply, Mr. Dinsmore stepped from the door and inquired,"What report have you to give me, Lulu?"
13379But how do you know that you were heard and accepted?"
13379But no, where would be the use?
13379But surely I am associated with you in the guardianship of Evelyn?"
13379But what good would that do?
13379But what''s the matter with your hand?"
13379But you will try to make your peace with grandpa, wo n''t you?"
13379But, Lu, if you really love papa so dearly, how can you behave toward him as you do sometimes-- causing him so much distress of mind?
13379But, oh, mamma, if Grandpa Dinsmore wo n''t teach Lu any more will she have to go away to boarding- school?"
13379By the way, how have they behaved themselves today?"
13379Ca n''t I go to them now, Max?"
13379Can not Ion spare you to Viamede this year at that season?
13379Could I in any way earn the money to pay for our travel on this road?
13379Could it be that her father was dying-- the dear father who was all the world to her?
13379Cyril and Isa Keith were there with their two little ones; Dick Percival, Bob and Betty Johnson-- and could it be possible?
13379Did he make a will?"
13379Did it hurt you very much?"
13379Did you suppose I was not a true friend that would stand by you in trouble and disgrace, as well as when all goes prosperously with you?"
13379Do n''t you remember how he''most made Grandma Elsie die when she was a little girl,''cause she would n''t do what he told her to?"
13379Do you not think it so yourself, now that your passion has had time to cool?"
13379Do you put the claims of society before everything else, Aunt Elsie?"
13379Do you suppose the Mantons do n''t want to make anything off us as boarders?"
13379Do you think he will, Max?"
13379Do you think it is wrong to do so?"
13379Do you think there will be any one but the servants at Ion to watch for our coming, Ned?"
13379Do you, Lester?"
13379Does it not seem a poor place after those you have had at Ion and Viamede?"
13379Does n''t it, Evelyn?"
13379Evelyn was beginning a remonstrance, but at the sound of wheels upon the drive sprang to the window, exclaiming,"Can mamma be coming back already?
13379Glancing down the page, Elsie read:"My dear brother, will you come to me?
13379Grandma Elsie, do you know where Gracie is?"
13379Half an hour later the little girl was again at his side, asking in tearful tones,"Uncle Lester, must mamma and I be separated?"
13379Hardly were they seated therein and the door closed upon them, when he exclaimed,"Why, what''s the matter?"
13379Have you anything to suggest?"
13379Her education must go on; that she knew; but who would be her teacher if Mr. Dinsmore refused?
13379How can you want to make poor Lulu do it?"
13379How could I help knowing it?"
13379How could she if you save her from being sent away?"
13379How do you like your new helpers, or rather their work?
13379How find shelter, food, clothing?
13379How should I, when nothing had been said about it?
13379How soon would the dread parting come?
13379How yo''know He lub yo'', Miss Gracie?"
13379I am appointed executrix, and guardian to Evelyn of course?"
13379I did not think you would come to find me; do you really care for me still?"
13379I have some salve which will be soothing and healing to them; will you come with me and let me dress them with it?"
13379I hope the servants have attended to all your wants?"
13379I wish I could do something to please Him; what could I do, mamma?"
13379I wish they were n''t here,""Do n''t you like them?
13379I wonder how near we are now to Viamede?"
13379Is he coming home on another visit?"
13379Is it about the sick little sisters?"
13379Is it that Grandpa Dinsmore is displeased?"
13379Is yo''all hyar now?"
13379Is your mamma well?"
13379It surely can not be true?"
13379Kind sir, can you, will you, give us some advice?
13379Manton?"
13379Max, how can I go back to that horrid man after I''ve said so many times that I never would?"
13379May I go into the garden, uncle?"
13379May n''t I go and talk to her a little and bid her good- by?
13379Must I have a guardian?
13379Now, are n''t you glad?"
13379O Lu, shall we ever see our father again in this world?"
13379O Maxie, tell me what it is?"
13379Oh, Lulu, wo n''t you do it too?
13379Oh, Max, Max, what shall I do?
13379Oh, do n''t you sometimes want to go to them there?"
13379Oh, is it news from papa?
13379Oh, what shall we do?"
13379Oh, what would life be worth without him?
13379Oh, why am I left behind?
13379Our own dear papa who loves us so dearly?"
13379Perhaps you will do me the favor to act as interpreter?"
13379Pray, miss, on what do you found your most absurd opinion?"
13379Shall you like it?"
13379She drew a long breath of relief; then with another glance at his face,"But what is wrong?
13379She signed her name in full, and handing it to Max, asked,"Will that do?"
13379Should you like it?"
13379Silence in the room for several minutes; then Lulu said,"I think my bedtime has come, Mamma Vi; may I go now?"
13379The conductor moved on, repeating his call,"Tickets?"
13379Then aloud,"What is to be done with her, sir?"
13379Then, when they were seated,"What was that I overheard you saying to Lulu just now?"
13379There was a moment''s silence; then Edward asked,"Now what about Isa''s request?"
13379Were n''t you pleased with her, Max?
13379What do you say to my proposition?"
13379What do you say to that?"
13379What do you say, Rose and Elsie?"
13379What excuse have you to offer for such disregard of your father''s commands?
13379What for?"
13379What have you been crying about?"
13379What language does she speak?"
13379What were the orders, and what reason does she assign for refusing obedience?"
13379What will you have?"
13379What would you like to have which it is in my power to bestow-- a new dress?
13379Where could she go?
13379Who dared do such a thing to my sister?"
13379Who would take you for a matron?"
13379Why did n''t she come?"
13379Why should I be under the control of anyone but you?"
13379Will that answer, Violet?"
13379Will you be pleased to go and finish your music- lesson?"
13379Will you please forgive me?
13379Would He, Grandma Elsie?"
13379Would it be asking too much, my dear brother?"
13379Would it not be well to have other advice?"
13379Would you?
13379Yet, shall I not have at least a sight of your loved faces ere I go hence to return no more?
13379You know, Lu?"
13379You seem to love your papa very dearly; how can you bear to pain him so?"
13379You wo n''t mind if I leave you for a moment to learn how long we are likely to be detained here?"
13379You''d have to ride alone, one way each time, but you would n''t mind that, would you?"
13379Zoe exclaimed;"how could she be?"
13379Zoe?"
13379a handsome set of jewelry?
13379and to go directly to your home?"
13379asked Edward;"what were you expecting to do in Utah?"
13379asked Violet;"did he not bid you obey my grandfather while he is not here to direct you himself?"
13379books?
13379but oh, do you think we may hope he will soon be well again?"
13379could I ever do that?"
13379cried Lulu with vehemence;"he''s too pompous and too-- what is it?"
13379cried Lulu, with a burst of sobs and tears,"do you think it''s true that-- that papa''s ship is lost?"
13379do give up and come back home,"entreated Grace, bursting into tears;"I ca n''t do without you, you know I ca n''t?"
13379do you not desire to carry out the dying wishes of the father you loved so dearly?"
13379entreated Grace;"and you do care if papa is displeased?
13379exclaimed Evelyn, looking full of interest and delight,"please tell me the whole story, wo n''t you?
13379exclaimed Evelyn, rapturously;"what does anybody want to go to Europe for?
13379for how could I bear to be separated from Gracie and Max?"
13379have you?--is there bad news of them?"
13379he answered;"there is no place like home, is there?
13379he exclaimed in utter astonishment;"how?
13379how consented to go with him?
13379how could she go on living?
13379how make sure of not again straying from the right path?
13379how many more days or hours might she spend in his dear companionship?
13379how many?"
13379is anything wrong with my little girl?"
13379is it indeed?"
13379nobody else, Jim?"
13379or is there none as yet?"
13379or you either?"
13379said Evelyn;"and that seems to me the best plan that could possibly be devised except that--""Well dear, except what?"
13379send for the doctor?
13379she cried;"but how, oh, how shall I ever learn to live without him?"
13379something is wrong?"
13379these beautiful rooms?"
13379toys?
13379was that Molly Embury, on her feet, standing by Mr. Embury''s side and leaning only slightly on his arm?
13379what do_ I_ care about it?
13379what is it?"
13379what more could we possibly ask than has been provided us by your orders?"
13379what would he say when he heard of it?"
13379why could I not go with him?"
13379wo n''t He if you ask Him?"
13379you wo n''t keep me, her own sister, away from her, will you?
14534''Doth not wisdom cry? 14534 ''Liza and her children?
14534''The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 14534 ''When the pie was opened the birds began to sing, Was n''t that a dainty dish to set before a king?''
14534A diamond ring?
14534A new idea, daughter, is n''t it?
14534A thousand dollars?
14534About what, darling?
14534Adopt?
14534After that we had breakfast and family worship, and then he took me on his knee again and asked how I would like to spend the day? 14534 Ah Gracie, are you ready for your ride?"
14534Ah are you there Mr. Wright? 14534 Ah?
14534Am I to have a share in it, mamma?
14534And did he take you to the stores and let yon choose the presents, Grandma Elsie?
14534And feel refreshed and well this morning?
14534And for a part of it, that will be diamonds for you, wo n''t it?
14534And in your case, my dear madam, for what? 14534 And it was you who locked the burglars in?"
14534And of his wife?
14534And oh wo n''t you tell us how many and what they were?
14534And perhaps you''d like to see the tableaux too, sir?
14534And should n''t we have gentlemen officers?
14534And the sun is shining so brightly; ca n''t I take a walk with you to- day?
14534And the white man?
14534And try, not only to make the new year better-- if we are spared to see it-- but also the three remaining days of the old?
14534And we''ll have to attend as witnesses?
14534And what about papa''s heart if he should lose his dear little daughter Lulu, or anything dreadful should happen to her?
14534And what did you answer?
14534And what will happen to you if you fail to do so, my dear?
14534And what will we do at our meetings?
14534And where does he propose to take us?
14534And why with me, my dear?
14534And wicked men are Satan''s servants, are n''t they, papa?
14534And you are going to be satisfied with one?
14534And you, Miss?
14534Are their shells pretty, papa?
14534Are they very, very poor and needy?
14534Are we boys to be shut out of all this?
14534Are you a skater, my dear?
14534Are you asleep, Eva?
14534Are you hungry?
14534Are you, Cousin Ronald?
14534As we were about starting I ventured to ask,''Papa, have n''t you forgotten to send my presents to Pinegrove?'' 14534 At present we are more solicitous to decide the important question, what shall our principal life work be?
14534At what hour are we to expect the captain?
14534Beside all that for benevolence, papa?
14534Break out? 14534 But I s''pose it wo n''t do to take our live new pets?"
14534But Jesus is stronger than any of them, and will not let them hurt me if I trust in him?
14534But about those holidays, mamma, the first when you had a brother?
14534But did n''t your father say you were to try for another nap?
14534But he''s dangerous, is n''t he?
14534But how are your funds to be raised?
14534But how can we be sure if we do n''t look, Uncle Harold? 14534 But how can you?
14534But it ca n''t be that she puts it off for story- reading, games and what not?
14534But papa what is a limpet? 14534 But what about the new plans, Rosie?
14534But what did he do? 14534 But you are going to tell us about that New Year''s, too, mamma, are n''t you?"
14534But you had not seen Ajax Stone''s face; how then could you recognize him?
14534But, papa, what are we to do about the presents if we must n''t take time to make them?
14534Ca n''t we have some charades again?
14534Captain,said Grandma Elsie,"will you please step to the window and open it?"
14534Come now, children, ca n''t you be quiet a bit?
14534Could he, indeed? 14534 Could they?
14534Cousin Ronald, may I ask what you know of that gypsy and the stolen child?
14534David says;''The Lord is my rock and my fortress.... Who is a rock save our God?'' 14534 Dey wear white dess?"
14534Did Santa Claus fill your stockings?
14534Did anybody ever get killed in that way, papa?
14534Did he come? 14534 Did she seem thankful to papa?"
14534Did the fall hurt her?
14534Did you find gifts to suit, mamma?
14534Did you not?
14534Did you then recognize them as the same men you had seen in the strong room of your home the night before at work at the lock of the safe?
14534Do dey button up behind like Elsie''s dress?
14534Do dey, g''amma? 14534 Do n''t you all vote for that, girls?"
14534Do n''t you know that''s what fathers are for?
14534Do n''t you say so, Max?
14534Do n''t you see that''s what she is doing?
14534Do n''t you wish you were grown up enough to call for whatever you might fancy from that table?
14534Do n''t you wish, sis, that you had let them go on and help themselves to all they wanted, and then leave without being molested?
14534Do you call that a musket, sir?
14534Do you know how late it is? 14534 Do you know that you are my great- granddaughter?"
14534Does she drink coffee?
14534Does she seem to be enjoying it?
14534Fire on the stars and stripes? 14534 Frank, ca n''t you behave yourself?"
14534Good obedient children; are n''t they?
14534Gracie was a little afraid to receive Santa Claus alone, was she?
14534Gracie, how did you enjoy your ride?
14534Grandma Elsie, wo n''t you please go on and tell about other Christmases that you remember?
14534Grandpa, what do you mean by the elective franchise?
14534Has it been a happy day with you, dear child?
14534Has it made you feel at all timid to- night, daughter?
14534Have n''t we got the very best and dearest father in the world? 14534 Have n''t you got some?"
14534Have they mouths? 14534 Have we earned our quarters to- day, papa?"
14534Have you been laying plans for the entertainment of our expected guests who are to keep New Year''s day with us?
14534How about wives?
14534How are the fingers, dear child? 14534 How are you, my darlings?"
14534How can they hold so tight?
14534How dey git locked up in dar, cap''in?
14534How did you do it, Lu?
14534How do they do it?
14534How has she learned your name so soon?
14534How many of us have skates, I wonder?
14534How old are you?
14534How papa?
14534How soon do we have to go papa?
14534How wide is the Atlantic ocean?
14534How will Polly suit you for a Christmas gift, Lulu?
14534How would a hatchet do?
14534How would my little girls like to be excused from lessons to- day and given, instead, a sleigh- ride with papa, mamma, Max and little Elsie?
14534How would you mend it?
14534Howdy do? 14534 I am glad you are pleased with it,"he said, smiling,"but are you going to be satisfied with looking at the outside?
14534I am thinking of those little friends of mine,sighed their mother;"asking myself''Where are they now?''
14534I do n''t care for that, papa, but will you take me there again this afternoon?
14534I hope Grandma Elsie found your sewing well done?
14534I hope you feel ready to resume your studies to- morrow, with diligence and painstaking?
14534I suppose you and Eva and the rest were laying out plans for Christmas doings this afternoon?
14534I will; I think you deserve the indulgence,he said going to them, Violet and Max following, the latter asking,"May I come in too, papa?"
14534I wonder where my pussy is?
14534I''d like to carve pretty things to sell; but who would buy them?
14534I, sir?
14534I? 14534 If you know so well how to mend, Madam Zoe, will you please give me some instruction about mending this shoe?"
14534In selecting an object for me to give to? 14534 In what year was the Declaration of Independence signed?"
14534Is Lulu hurt?
14534Is it for their shells people try to pull them off the rocks?
14534Is it possible I hear such slang from the educated tongue of a college boy?
14534Is it possible?
14534Is it quite finished, papa?
14534Is it those words the Bible means when it speaks of the sword of the Spirit, papa?
14534Is it very cold out there, Lu?
14534Is she in there?
14534Is there something you would prefer for me, papa?
14534Is your strong room on exhibition? 14534 It looks nice, but-- how can it go?"
14534It was Lulu who first became aware of their presence in the house,he said;"and she-- why where is the child?"
14534It will be always easy to be good when we get to heaven?
14534It''s just before we get into bed you''ll give them to us, papa?
14534Levis, did you know those men?
14534Like several books, eh?
14534Lulu and Eva, why bring those creatures in here?
14534Lulu, shall I say good night to you first?
14534Mamma, are those friends of yours all dead?
14534Mamma, were you very glad when God gave him to you?
14534May n''t we come and see too?
14534Meaning tobacco for the old folks and sweets for all, I suppose?
14534Mother, would you like to see it also?
14534Must n''t I stay up for prayers?
14534My child, are you speaking quite as respectfully as you ought in addressing your father?
14534New ones?
14534No, papa,she answered promptly;"I do n''t think the man could get into the house; do you?"
14534No,said Grandma Rose,"Have you nothing else to offer?"
14534Nor my Polly either, shall he, papa?
14534Not any nuts or candies?
14534Not for Mamma Vi?
14534Now the next question is where shall we go?
14534Now what can I do for you?
14534O Cousin Ronald,broke in Walter,"as we ca n''t go skating this afternoon, wo n''t you please tell us young ones some of your famous stories?"
14534O Grandma Elsie, we heard a woman begging to come in out of the cold, and-- oh there do n''t you hear her?
14534O Lu, did you like it? 14534 O grandpa, ca n''t you see?"
14534O mamma, ca n''t we?
14534O papa, do you really think we may?
14534O papa, is it for me?
14534Of course,he returned in the same low key,"but do you suppose men who break into houses to steal, will hesitate to lie?"
14534Oh could n''t we hire an omnibus sleigh and ask them all to join us? 14534 Oh did n''t you dislike having to go there and testify?"
14534Oh do you know we are going to have a party on New Years? 14534 Oh does the court meet to- day?"
14534Oh is that all? 14534 Oh may it?"
14534Oh what is the meaning of those sounds coming from below? 14534 Oh who is it?
14534Oh wo n''t you ask God to help me to keep from it?
14534On the last Sunday of that year? 14534 Papa would you be willing for me to go into the navy?"
14534Papa, are n''t you afraid those bad men will try to harm you some day, if they ever get out of prison?
14534Papa, is that quarter a day for good conduct, to be in addition to our usual pocket money?
14534Papa, sha n''t I go and find Eva and comfort her by letting her see how little I am hurt, after all?
14534Papa, shall I sleep in her bed with her to- night?
14534Papa, what do you think would be a suitable present for him?
14534Papa, what will be done with him and Ajax?
14534Papa, will we have to appear as witnesses on the trial?
14534Papa, will you take us to the city, as you did last year, and let us choose, ourselves, the things we are going to give?
14534Papa, wo n''t you sit down and take me on your knee, and hug me up close, while you tell it?
14534Papa,asked Lulu,"do you think it is never right for anybody to have diamonds or handsome jewelry of any kind?"
14534Papa,said Lulu,"may they get a pair for me?
14534Papa,said Lulu,"wo n''t you tell Max about the money you are going to give in our names?"
14534Perhaps my faults lie in another direction; and how much credit do people deserve for refraining from doing what they feel no temptation to do?
14534Rich?
14534Rosie, why ca n''t you let the poor boy alone?
14534Shall I send for skates for you?
14534Shall we go into the sitting- room, Gracie, and wait there for Lu?
14534Shall we proceed to organize?
14534Shall we take our new games to Ion with us, papa?
14534Sir,he said respectfully,"will you be so kind as to tell me if you are anybody in particular?
14534So it wo n''t be time wasted to have our Christmas holidays?
14534So we both think,said Herbert,"and, mamma, you are willing we should go and labor wherever we may be called in the providence of God?"
14534Such a marriage as yours, mamma?
14534Such sweet words, papa, are n''t they?
14534That is why you have us learn so many Bible verses, papa?
14534That would be nice,said Zoe,"but do n''t you suppose they may be improving the sleighing opportunity as well as ourselves?
14534That, you have told us, was your first sight of the prisoner calling himself Perry Davis, when did you see him next? 14534 The games and storybooks, papa?"
14534The men did not attempt any resistance to the arrest?
14534The tramp you saw when out riding?
14534Then may I get up sooner in the mornings while I''m so busy?
14534Then perhaps you may want to help provide for the instruction of the colored race as well as of the Indians?
14534Then shall I stay up?
14534Then you do n''t mean to let us stay up to watch the old year out and the new year in, papa?
14534Then, if you feel so strong would it tire you to tell us a story, Cousin Ronald?
14534There, Gracie, how would you like to ride in that?
14534There, how''s that for high?
14534There, is n''t it?
14534Tired, Gracie, my pet?
14534Tired, children?
14534Tired?
14534To make sweet music?
14534Unless my father orders me?
14534Us?
14534Very well; we''re not sorry to hear it, are we girls? 14534 Wad ye insinuate that I associate wi''sic trash as that?"
14534Waiting patiently, my darlings?
14534Was n''t he good to send for these for me?
14534We do n''t have to put down all the names, papa, do we?
14534We had a fine time at the Oaks, had n''t we, girls?
14534We''ll each make a list, sha''n''t we?
14534Well then, why not give your father a hint that you''d like such a Christmas gift from him?
14534Well what if they should, Lulu Raymond?
14534Well, what sports shall we contrive for to- day?
14534Were you able to sleep, my darlings?
14534Were you scared, Lu?
14534What about home and foreign missionary societies?
14534What are you doing in these grounds, sir?
14534What can I do?
14534What did your papa want with you?
14534What do I ken about her, laddie?
14534What do you want me for, papa?
14534What excellent ideas?
14534What happened next?
14534What have you got pet?
14534What is it, Lu?
14534What is the matter, Gracie dear?
14534What kind of fun is it you boys have planned for us girls?
14534What poor people?
14534What shall papa give you off this beautiful tree?
14534What story shall it be this time?
14534What were you looking at?
14534What were you reading, Max?
14534What will you have, my dears?
14534What would my little girl do with such a thing as that?
14534What would you like to have?
14534What year was it, Lulu?
14534What you''bout? 14534 What you''bout?"
14534What, mamma?
14534What, my child? 14534 When and where?"
14534When are you and Lu going to invite us again?
14534When did Columbus discover America, Miss Maud?
14534When may we begin to earn it, papa?
14534Where are grandma and mamma?
14534Where''s papa?
14534Which are the causes, papa?
14534Which is that last, mamma?
14534Who bids higher? 14534 Who is it?
14534Who was it( Dean Swift if I remember aright) who preached a charity sermon from that text--''If you like the security, down with the dust''?
14534Who, who was calling?
14534Who?
14534Why, yes, sir?
14534Why? 14534 Will what?"
14534Will you, mamma?
14534Wo n''t it be nice?
14534Wo n''t you give us a holiday?
14534Would you prefer to have all your thousands go to pay that debt, mamma?
14534Would you? 14534 Yaisin''seeds,"he echoed;"what can that mean?"
14534Yes, papa,she panted;"I-- I''ve locked some burglars into the strong room and--""_ You?
14534Yes, papa; may n''t I know what you are talking about?
14534You allude to the uncertainty of life, mamma?
14534You are here, Miss?
14534You are the innkeeper?
14534You are very industrious, my darlings,he said in a pleasant tone,"but how much exercise have you taken in the open air to- day?"
14534You are very young, my child,the judge said in a kindly tone,"What do you know of the nature of an oath?"
14534You do n''t think Gracie''s sick, papa, do you?
14534You enjoy such expeditions, do n''t you, Lu?
14534You have I think, have you not?
14534You have not been able to sleep, my love?
14534You said they would have to go to the penitentiary if they were found guilty; and the jury said they were; how long will they have to stay there?
14534You seem to have only just found it out; but Grace and I have known it this long while; have n''t we, Gracie?
14534You will allow them to sleep past the usual hour, my dear, will you not?
14534You would enjoy it, my love?
14534You''d do it to please the dear Lord Jesus, even though you do n''t like it?
14534You''re not afraid, Lu, are you?
14534You''ve got enough of skating, I suppose, Lu? 14534 Your father takes a great deal of pains to teach and help you, dear Lu, does n''t he?"
14534Zoe,said Rosie, breaking a pause in the conversation,"do you know, has mamma told you, about her new plans for benevolence?
14534A chorus of merry Christmases answered him; then Lulu asked,"What did Santa Claus put in your stocking, Maxie?"
14534A tap at the door, and Rosie''s voice asking,"How is Lulu?
14534And is Gracie to have the same?"
14534And that being understood, are you willing to have most of them disposed of and the proceeds used in aid of home and foreign missions?"
14534Are burglars trying to break in?"
14534Are n''t you going to try it too?"
14534Are you particularly drawn to the foreign field?"
14534Are you ready for trial?"
14534Are you?"
14534Are you?"
14534At length,"Papa,"she asked half hesitatingly,"are you very rich?"
14534Bowing low, but awkwardly,"You''re the school committee I understand, gents?"
14534But dear g''amma likes to tell Elsie''tories; do n''t you, g''amma?"
14534But how is Santa Claus to tell which is Lulu''s and which Gracie''s?"
14534But need you hurry so?
14534But shall we not try again, my children?"
14534But what will we do?
14534But, papa, must I learn the lessons over and rewrite the composition this afternoon?
14534Can you really afford to give it to me, papa?
14534Can you take us now?"
14534Can you tell me?"
14534Captain will you lift her in while I summon them?"
14534Captain, will you not favor us with some of your reminiscences of former holiday experiences?
14534Did n''t you?
14534Did you bring home an extra quantity of work from the last meeting of your society?"
14534Did you ever see them before?"
14534Do n''t they, papa?"
14534Do n''t they?"
14534Do n''t you suppose, papa, that he''ll be smart enough to guess which is which?"
14534Do n''t you, Eva?"
14534Do n''t you, May?"
14534Do you not think so, mamma?"
14534Do you not think so?"
14534Do you wish a room?
14534Have you come to apply for the situation?"
14534Have you one?"
14534How did you come?"
14534How many does that make, Max?"
14534How much is it you''re going to give us?"
14534I thought you were unusually quiet coming home: is anything amiss with you?"
14534I trust it meets your approval?
14534I wonder what''s the joke?"
14534If you continue to dose me with it, who knows but I shall become as conceited and vain as a peacock?"
14534Is he not worthy of it?"
14534Is it not so, Harold?"
14534Is it not so, mamma?"
14534Is n''t it nice?"
14534Is not that so, my dear?"
14534It strikes me I heard some o''the leddies laying plans for the afternoon and evening?"
14534It''s the most beautiful flag that waves, is n''t it?"
14534Levis Raymond late of United States Navy?"
14534Looking smilingly at the little group opposite,"I have a thought,"she said lightly;"who can guess it?"
14534May I come in?"
14534Oh do n''t you think I ought to be dreadfully ashamed, and that papa should have punished me very severely?"
14534On its conclusion she sat for a moment as if in profound thought, then looking up into her grandmother''s face,"Where is dey now?"
14534One morning at breakfast, Max asked,"Papa, have you told Lu yet?"
14534Papa asked,''Lulu, did you hear me bid you come to me?''
14534Papa, can you get somebody to help you take them to jail?"
14534Papa, could he get out and come here again?"
14534Papa, do you remember the talk we had together a year ago?"
14534Papa, may I have something?"
14534Please, papa, wo n''t you let me go, and do my work over after I get back?
14534Rosie picked it up and replaced it, saying:"Ca n''t you let things alone?"
14534Shall I carry you, daughter?"
14534Shall it be''Yankee Doodle''?"
14534Shall we go now?"
14534So come, wo n''t you?
14534Speaking of it, she asked,"Ought I not to go to- morrow, papa?
14534Surely he did n''t pass it over as of no consequence?
14534Thank you for both, dear papa; but do n''t you think we ought to be good without being paid for it?"
14534The touch roused him and he asked,"Who is it?
14534Then turning to the spectators,"Can you tell us our word, ladies and gentlemen?"
14534They are gone?
14534Travilla?"
14534Was it the girls only?
14534Was n''t Elsie dere den?
14534Was n''t she there?"
14534We dare you to do it?"
14534Well to change the subject, are you pleased with the prospect of spending the holidays at Ion?"
14534Well, has my little daughter anything particular to say to her father to- night?"
14534What can be the matter?
14534What do I want with that?"
14534What do you say captain?
14534What have the members of the society to say about it?"
14534What is it you want, my darling?"
14534What say you, Cousin Horace, to a match atween the two auld chaps o''us down there the noo?"
14534What''s the matter?"
14534What''s the meaning of pathology?"
14534What''s the next syllable?
14534When did Columbus discover America?"
14534When she had done so,"What is your name?"
14534Where and when did you see him the third time?"
14534Where you been?"
14534Where you been?"
14534Where you been?"
14534Who bids higher?
14534Who bids higher?
14534Who bids?
14534Who bids?"
14534Whose dog is he?"
14534Why could n''t I?"
14534Will nobody bid higher?
14534Will you not do it now?
14534Wo n''t you help me all you can?"
14534Wo n''t you walk into the parlor, gentlemen, and let us have it?"
14534Would my little Grace like to learn too?"
14534Yet, would you believe it, Eva?
14534a youthful flow of spirits consequent upon a temporary release from the heavy responsibilities of wifehood and motherhood?"
14534and did n''t you have a good time, Grandma Elsie?"
14534and do you know what they eat?"
14534and understanding put forth her voice?...
14534and where?"
14534and will you go with me?"
14534and you Vi?"
14534asked Mrs. Travilla, with a pleased little laugh,"are there not more than enough younger people to take part?"
14534at once?
14534buy any apples and oranges?"
14534can it be possible?"
14534could you venture to speak so to your father-- a man whom everybody respects so highly, and who is so dear and kind to you?"
14534cried Evelyn, with a start,"are you much hurt?"
14534cried the children, in excited chorus,"where, did he come from?
14534did n''t Dod make Elsie up in heaven?"
14534did n''t you enjoy yourself at Ion?"
14534did you really say that?
14534do dey button up in de back?"
14534do n''t you hear him?"
14534do n''t you want to examine the lining also?"
14534do you hear little Elsie calling for papa and mamma?"
14534echoed Chester in a sarcastic tone;"but how well may you be acquainted with the books?
14534going to desert in the face of the enemy?"
14534had you then no wakeful guardian at hand?"
14534have I said or done anything to grieve you, dear heart?"
14534have they been giving you much pain?"
14534how he is going to reward his children for good behavior?"
14534how she gwine do dat?
14534how she is going to let us all help her in distributing her funds?"
14534is n''t it a good while to breakfast time?"
14534is there something in''em?"
14534may be driving over here to call on us?"
14534needles, buttons, shoe- strings?"
14534not lately?"
14534or rooms?"
14534or will the boys take part in them too?"
14534persisted Walter;"are n''t you going to tell about them?"
14534she one small chile an''dey two big men?"
14534she said addressing one of them;"the captain selected it, I suppose?"
14534some poor heathen to die without the knowledge of Christ?
14534some soul to be lost that Jesus died to save?"
14534strue?
14534the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?''
14534the other asking,"Want any pins to- day?
14534the trial?
14534then it was Lulu who was afraid, was it?"
14534this lace veil, worth every cent of a hundred dollars, going at fifteen?
14534was it nice?"
14534what can you mean, child?"
14534what was the meaning of the lights and the noises that had waked him?
14534who is it?"
14534who is this coming?
14534you wo n''t want to try it again, will you?"
14534you''s jokin'', fo''shuah, dat little Miss Lu lock up de bugglars?
14534you, Lulu?"
14534you_ have locked them in there?"
14379''A Saviour yet to come?'' 14379 ''Ah, sir, what more can I say to convince, to move you?
14379''Can it be possible?'' 14379 ''Can it be that such designs are really entertained against us?''
14379''How is Bianca?'' 14379 ''Nor plotted their destruction?
14379''Ought he to march without orders or even the knowledge of his superiors? 14379 ''True, but what matters that to foes bent upon your destruction?
14379''What is it, Maurice?'' 14379 A fright?"
14379A printer, John? 14379 Ah, is that it, my darling?"
14379Ah, mamma,said Violet,"are you not forgetting the lessons you used to give us, your children, on the sin of indolence and self- indulgence?"
14379Ah, mother dear,as he threw aside his wet overcoat and took her in his arms,"were you alarmed for the safety of your three sons?"
14379Ah, yes,she assented;"but with all that, is it not the quietest place you ever were in?"
14379Ah, you charge according to the amount of news, do you?
14379An escaped criminal-- a murderer-- or a maniac from an insane asylum, I suppose; for who else would wear a clanking chain? 14379 And did Eleazer Williams hear of it?"
14379And if there is a jail on the island?
14379And is it on exhibition, papa?
14379And to be obedient, too?
14379And was that all?
14379And was there ever such a mother- in- law as mamma?
14379And what was the result of your efforts?
14379And yet you are not weary of life? 14379 And you are quite sure all were picked up?"
14379And you did n''t know I was on the island?
14379And you have been long in His service, Aunt Wealthy?
14379And you too, Elsie?
14379And you were glad to come back to us?
14379Anyhow,she answered, drawing herself up in pretended offence;"ca n''t a woman do as she pleases even in such trifles?"
14379Anything I can help you with?
14379Are all the grown people agreed? 14379 Are there any mountains, papa?"
14379Are we?
14379Are you glad to see papa back again so soon?
14379Are you going in this morning?
14379Are you going in?
14379Are you going to punish me, papa?
14379Are you going to walk back, papa? 14379 Are you ready for breakfast, dears?"
14379Are you really glad to know you must die before very long?
14379Are you really so much afraid of me?
14379Are you, daughter?
14379Be not too ready to condemn The wrongs thy brothers may have done; Ere ye too harshly censure them For human faults, ask,''Have I none?''
14379But I can swim, papa,said Max;"and wo n''t you let me go with you out beyond the surf, where the water is more quiet?"
14379But I may, may n''t I, papa?
14379But do you think, sir, you have the strength and ability to protect three helpless females?
14379But if one is not at all sure of belonging to Him?
14379But is it true, sir?
14379But it is n''t in existence now, at this late day, surely?
14379But she did reach home in safety at last?
14379But still happy; are you not, mamma? 14379 But that will not matter?"
14379But the wind has not fallen, and that is what makes the great danger, grandpa, is n''t it?
14379But were all the Waldenses equally forbearing, grandpa?
14379But what did they mean when they said they were going to have a second St. Bartholomew in the valleys?
14379But what on earth does he mean?
14379But where is the captain, your husband?
14379But why do n''t you invite some of us ladies to go along?
14379But you wo n''t drink any of it, will you, papa?
14379But, mamma, I have been asked by another, a professed Christian,''Why do you trouble yourself about the belief of a devout Jew? 14379 Ca n''t we telegraph?"
14379Can it be possible, my dear, dear husband?
14379Can not Bob and Betty go with us, papa?
14379Can you give me a true and full account of her behavior since I have been away?
14379Can you? 14379 Captain Baxter?"
14379Come back now?
14379Come, answer,exclaimed Lulu impetuously;"do you promise?
14379Dear Annis, may I ask why it is you have never married? 14379 Did Eleazer ever try to get the throne, grandpa?"
14379Did Mamma Vi care so very much that I might be drowned?
14379Did Mamma Vi care?
14379Did everybody catch a man- eater?
14379Did he?
14379Did n''t Beranger''s confession arouse inquiry, grandpa?
14379Did she say she thought it a suitable dress?
14379Did they?
14379Did you bear it with patience and humility, as you ought?
14379Did you do nothing but put on your clothes after leaving your bed?
14379Did you ever see one, papa?
14379Did you never hear of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, daughter?
14379Did you obey the first order?
14379Do I?
14379Do n''t you suppose it''s about as hard for me as for her, considering how charming she is?
14379Do n''t you think so, captain?
14379Do people ever bathe at night?
14379Do tell me at once how long our powers of endurance of such uncongenial society are to be taxed?
14379Do the sailors ever attempt to catch them, captain?
14379Do they eat sharks, Maxie?
14379Do those big sharks bite people?
14379Do you believe it, captain?
14379Do you know that I have been watching you from the doorway there for the last five minutes?
14379Do you live here?
14379Do you mean that I must answer you, papa?
14379Do you not know what that means?
14379Do you really think so, captain?
14379Do you think that is sufficient excuse, and ought to be accepted as fully exonerating you from blame in regard to this matter?
14379Do you think your Mamma Vi has no real love for you? 14379 Do you want to go up into the tower, Gracie?"
14379Do you, uncle?
14379Does he know about last night, Gracie? 14379 Does it not?
14379Frightened?
14379Glad to see you back again, capt''n,he remarked, addressing the younger of his two passengers;"but it''s kind of unexpected, is n''t it?
14379Goot- morning, mine leetle mees,he said, catching sight of her,"Was it so goot a night mit you?"
14379Harold? 14379 Have n''t I said enough, sir?"
14379Have you any objection to my company, Levis?
14379Have you any suggestion to offer, captain?
14379Here in dis garten? 14379 How and where?"
14379How can you say that, Robert, when you know that you have lived all your life in utter neglect of God''s appointed way of salvation? 14379 How can you talk so, Lulu dear?"
14379How do you know, papa?
14379How do you like our island, and particularly our town?
14379How does that happen, Levis?
14379How many did you catch, Maxie?
14379How many of us are going to bathe to- day?
14379How much?
14379How shall we proceed in order to gain admittance?
14379How soon do we sail, captain?
14379How?
14379I am going on a mile further to Sachacha Pond, ladies,he remarked;"will you drive there, or directly home?"
14379I mean as you did the other day?
14379I presume you are a little careful whom you allow to make that round?
14379I should be glad to oblige you, Betty,he said,"but I can not say that; and what would it avail if I did?
14379I want to see where the waves come up,said Lulu;"there''s Max looking down over the edge; ca n''t we go and look too, papa?"
14379I wonder if there was ever a crime committed here?
14379I''ll tell them-- shall I?
14379I''m going down to the beach,she said to Grace, when they had left the table that evening;"wo n''t you go too?"
14379I? 14379 I?
14379If not in harbor, they must be in great peril?
14379Is Gracie going too, papa? 14379 Is Mamma Vi there?"
14379Is any son or daughter of Adam saved by good works?
14379Is it because I asked you to do it, papa?
14379Is n''t she a darling?
14379Is that all?
14379Is this true that I hear of you, Lulu?
14379It''s all her, her, when you talk about that baby,laughed Rosie;"why do n''t you call her by her name?"
14379Life- saving station,repeated Lulu, turning to look in the direction of his glance;"what''s that?"
14379Lonely enough for me to indulge in a moderate amount of fun and laughter, is it not, sir?
14379Look away yonder,said Lulu;"is n''t that a fisherman''s cart?"
14379Loss, daughter dear?
14379Lulu I did you dare to talk in that way to her?
14379Lulu,he said, with a sigh that was almost a groan,"what am I to do with you?"
14379Mamma is not going, and ca n''t I stay with her, papa?
14379Mamma, what can be keeping them?
14379Mamma, what is the matter? 14379 Max, I know you like to wait on me; will you please bring my hat and shawl from the bedroom there?"
14379May I ask who and what she is?
14379May I go down to the beach, Grandma Elsie?
14379May I have a kiss too, papa?
14379May n''t I wade out, papa?
14379Must I drink it if they offer me a cup?
14379Must we wait for an answer from Nantucket?
14379My dear captain,she said, in a tone of gentle remonstrance,"why did you do this?
14379My dear,turning to Violet,"shall I have the pleasure of helping you up to the top of the tower?"
14379My love, what do you intend to call your daughter?
14379No hills either?
14379No, indeed; who''d want to eat a fish that maybe had grown fat on human flesh?
14379No, my boy, certainly not; how should a fish know what is about to happen? 14379 No, papa; wo n''t you tell me about it?"
14379No; but I''ll have a rope and papa, too, to hold to; so why need I be afraid?
14379No; yonder she is; do n''t you see?
14379No; you and I are going alone this time; do you think you will find my company sufficient for once?
14379Not papa?
14379Nothing, only-- you remember the last time you saw me in this dress? 14379 Now, Aunt Wealthy,"said Annis,"what can we do to make this wonderful day pass most happily to you?"
14379Now, how much dressmaking has to be done before the family can be ready for the trip?
14379Now, papa, will you be so kind as to read it aloud?
14379O Grandma Elsie, do you think he will? 14379 O captain,"she cried,"is n''t it time the Edna was in?"
14379O papa, will they come here some time and kill us?
14379Of course not, Miss Betty; will you take your turn next?
14379Of course not, sir; do you mean to insinuate that I am older than Aunt Rose?
14379Oh Lu, are n''t you afraid to go in?
14379Oh, Aunt Rose, do n''t you know that that is the Nantucket name for a picnic?
14379Oh, Gracie, I am glad,said Lulu;"but it would be very strange for papa to remember the bad child and not the good one, would n''t it?"
14379Oh, Lu, what made you?
14379Oh, Uncle Edward, is she alive now?
14379Oh, are n''t you ever so glad God brought our Lulu safely home to us?
14379Oh, grandpa, what could that be?
14379Oh, hark, what was that? 14379 Oh, is it you, Betty?"
14379Oh, mamma, if she is drowned, how shall I answer to my husband for taking so little care of his child?
14379Oh, papa, may I go too?
14379Oh, papa, will you tell us about them? 14379 Oh, thank you,"she said, brightening;"but wo n''t you take me along?"
14379Only a foolish reason, is it not, Betty?
14379Papashe said, looking up into his face with smiling eyes,"you have come to sit with me?
14379Papa, are you-- are you going to punish me?
14379Papa, ca n''t we take a walk?
14379Papa, do n''t you think it''s a little mean to make me tell on myself and then punish me for what you find out in that way?
14379Papa, how can we do that?
14379Papa, may I go in?
14379Papa, may we go too?
14379Papa, you know, do n''t you?
14379Papa,asked Max,"are there any woods and streams where one may hunt and fish?"
14379Possibly not; but what is that virtue worth which can not stand the least trial? 14379 Shall I go on with my packing?"
14379Shall we not, mamma?
14379She is not yielding very prompt obedience to the order,he said to himself;"but what wonder?
14379Sometimes you are not willing to be ruled even by your father; yet I hardly suppose you would say he has no right?
14379South Shore? 14379 Spare you, Ned?
14379Suppose I had not been near enough to catch her, and she had been precipitated to the ground from that great height-- how would you have felt?
14379Thank you,said Lulu;"but why do n''t you go in too, Mamma Vi?"
14379That was not obeying; I told you to do it immediately,he said in a tone of severity,"What did you do in the mean time?"
14379That what?
14379That''s a long walk for you, is n''t it?
14379Their errand who could doubt? 14379 Then I do n''t want to go,"Zoe said,"and I''d rather you would n''t; just suppose you should get a bite?"
14379Then we may hope for weeks or months?
14379Then you and I will both retire and try to take some rest, shall we not?
14379Then you will persuade them?
14379Then you wo n''t, of course,muttered Lulu, carefully avoiding looking into the kind face bending over her;"how am I to be punished?
14379Then you would n''t be glad to see papa if he came back?
14379True, mamma, and yet are they not still God''s own chosen people? 14379 Was it not merely within certain limits you were given permission to ramble about the beach?"
14379Well, Lulu, what is it?
14379Well, shall we go and see for ourselves, as the captain advises?
14379Well, think now, if you please; would n''t you go if you had an invitation? 14379 Well, what''s the matter?"
14379Were they all pleasant to you after that?
14379What a nice day for the''squantum,''is n''t it?
14379What are you going to do with all your new treasures, Aunt Wealthy?
14379What can it be?
14379What can you mean? 14379 What did your Grandma Elsie say?"
14379What do they have that for, papa?
14379What do they kill them for, then?
14379What does he say, papa?
14379What has my little girl been doing all day?
14379What have you done that you expect so severe a punishment?
14379What is a drail?
14379What is infallibility, papa?
14379What is it, Levis?
14379What is it, Lulu?
14379What is it, darling?
14379What is it, daughter?
14379What is it, love?
14379What is it, mother?
14379What is it, papa?
14379What is it? 14379 What is it?"
14379What is that down there?
14379What is the matter?
14379What is wrong?
14379What is your admission fee?
14379What is your name?
14379What of that?
14379What shall we do to- day?
14379What was it?
14379What''s the matter?
14379What, are they in the water?
14379What, then? 14379 What, with your big strong father to hold you fast?"
14379Where are the children?
14379Where did you say Ned is?
14379Where have you been?
14379Where is Lulu, papa?
14379Where is Lulu?
14379Where is Lulu?
14379Where is the harbor, papa?
14379Where is your sister?
14379Where to?
14379Where''s my baby, Levis?
14379Where''s my share, Ned?
14379Who is that man sitting on that bench nearest the water, and looking just ready to run and help if anybody needs it?
14379Who wants to set it at defiance?
14379Who?
14379Why did you not let me know that my dear father, whose society I prize so highly, was so near?
14379Why no, Gracie; I''ve bathed in the sea before; I went in a good many times last summer; do n''t you remember?
14379Why not?
14379Why should it?
14379Why should you care to?
14379Why should you think so?
14379Why, Anna Eastman, who would have expected to see you here?
14379Why, how could he get them?
14379Why, how is that? 14379 Will you go in and rest awhile, Lu?"
14379Witches, papa? 14379 Wo n''t you go and take us, papa?"
14379Wo n''t you kiss me, papa?
14379Wo n''t you let her come down here, papa? 14379 Would n''t Lulu like to ride?"
14379Would n''t it be strange if I were not?
14379Would you, my dear father?
14379Yes, if Mamma Vi will go along,he answered, with an affectionate look at his young wife;"we ca n''t go without her, can we, Gracie?"
14379Yes, indeed, Lu, dear Lu; oh, what could I do without my dear sister?
14379Yes, papa; I can not remember when I did not; and could there be a greater cause for gratitude?
14379Yes, sir; must I wait for an answer?
14379Yes,Lulu replied, getting upon her feet very slowly, and looking a good deal frightened;"did papa seem very angry?"
14379Yes,said Betty;"does n''t it make you feel like going in?"
14379Yes; and I am not so very late, am I, sir?
14379Yes; and it''s most time to start, and you''re not dressed yet, are you?
14379Yes; and you think I''m one of the first class, I suppose?
14379You can see he must have had genius; had n''t he? 14379 You did?"
14379You forgot? 14379 You said, a while ago,''I just ca n''t be good;''did you mean to assert that you could not help being disobedient to me that evening?"
14379You thought she was deranged and about to commit suicide by precipitating herself to the ground?
14379You were going to the beach, were you not?
14379You were with Bob; how is he now?
14379You will command the vessel, of course, captain?
14379You would like it, Zoe?
14379You? 14379 Your share?
14379Zoe, little wife,Edward was saying, out on the veranda,"can you spare me for a day or two?"
14379''But what''s the order of proceedings?''
14379''How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?''"
14379''Is it what I ought to do?''"
14379''Maurice, how is your poor arm?
14379''Might there not be some truth in the story after all?''
14379''On what pretext?
14379''Sconset is a smaller place, is n''t it, captain?"
14379''The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
14379--_Byron._"Well, captain, for how long have you Uncle Sam''s permission to stay on shore this time?"
14379A lady had drawn near, and now said,"Supper is ready, Captain Raymond; will you bring your little girls and come to the table?"
14379And do not the annals of your own Switzerland furnish examples of similar plots?''
14379And then, how do I know that he''ll ever get back?
14379And you would take Max and Lulu too, would n''t you?"
14379Are n''t you equally sure of the result of such an application, Ned?"
14379Are there not promises of their future restoration?"
14379Are they not magnificent?"
14379At length Bob gave unmistakable signs of life; and shortly after Betty sighed, opened her eyes, and asked, feebly,"Where am I?
14379Atwood?"
14379Besides, what were my orders to you just as I was leaving the house that morning?"
14379Betty, shall I have the honor and pleasure of conveying you aboard of yonder vessel?"
14379But I should think you''d be punished enough with all the wetting and the fright; for were n''t you most scared to death?"
14379But how is it yon can be so calm?"
14379But is n''t it time to go in, Levis?
14379But now do n''t you think I have reason to feel worse about his going away just now than you?"
14379But now what shall I do?
14379But what did papa say then?"
14379But what did you want to ask me?"
14379But what do you mean to do with him after he is done going to school?"
14379But why do you talk so?
14379But, little wife, are you weatherwise or otherwise?"
14379Can I doubt what would have been the fate of my wife and daughters had they fallen into your hands?''
14379Can they be in danger who are_ kept by the power of God_?"
14379Can you, sir?"
14379Could I have hoped to have you restored to me even in another world, my child?"
14379Could it be possible that she was so far from the tiny''Sconset cottage that at present she called home?
14379Could my opinion stay the storm?"
14379Did Mamma Vi tell him?"
14379Did he hurt you very much?"
14379Do n''t you want to go?"
14379Do n''t you wish you were one of them, Lulu?"
14379Do you know of one that might be hired, captain?"
14379Do you know the owners?"
14379Do you love papa as well as ever, Lu?"
14379Do you never feel any desire to be like Him?"
14379Do you still think, as you told me a while ago, that this sort of punishment might be a help to you in trying to be good?"
14379Do you think God would give them a knowledge of the future which He conceals from men?
14379Do you think I should be a good and kind father if I allowed you to go on in a path that leads to such dreadful ends here and hereafter?"
14379Do you think papa would leave you behind or drop you into the water?"
14379Do you think people ought to pray when they do n''t feel like it?"
14379Elsie said, folding her in her kind arms,"you have had a terrible fright, have you not?"
14379How could you bear it?
14379How do you mean?"
14379How does it strike you, father?"
14379How is Jake doing?
14379How long have you been up?"
14379How many of us are agreed to go?"
14379How should you answer that question, mamma?"
14379I dinks you all pees come to see Miss Stanhope pe von huntred years olt; ishn''t you?"
14379I do n''t think he was half as nice a father as ours; do you, Gracie?"
14379I know you are an honest child, even when the truth is against you; tell me, do you not yourself think that I am right?"
14379I''ll hold on to the rope, and if I''m in any danger I suppose Bob, or some of the rest of you, will come to my assistance?"
14379I''ve been disobedient again,"she said aloud, as she set off for home at her most rapid pace;"what would papa say?
14379In the excitement no one had noticed her, but now she exclaimed, in tremulous accents, and catching her breath,"Bob-- my brother; where is he?"
14379Is He not our life also because He is the dearest of all friends to us-- His own people?"
14379Is it not a sweet thought, papa?
14379Is it not so?"
14379Is it not to carry these glad tidings to Rudolph''s mother we take this early walk?''
14379Is it''cause Ned''s in the ship Zoe''s crying so?"
14379Is n''t it a fine sight?"
14379Levis?"
14379Listen, love, to these sweet words:''O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto Thee?
14379Lulu was silent for a moment, then said complainingly,"And I suppose I''ll not be allowed to take my bath either?"
14379Lulu, hearing it, cried out,"Oh, could n''t I go too, papa?"
14379Mack''s?"
14379Mack?"
14379May I learn if I have the chance?"
14379May n''t I go with you?"
14379Must I, papa?"
14379Oh, Bob,"perceiving her brother close at hand,"do n''t you want to go in?
14379Oh, are n''t you afraid they will drown?"
14379On reaching home Edward and Zoe reported their conversation with the lady in the dory, and asked,"Shall we not go?"
14379Papa, do you know how high this bluff is?"
14379Shall I call Max and Lulu to hear it?"
14379Shall I take you down there some evening and let you sit and watch them as they come and go?"
14379Shall we not?"
14379She saw the hack draw up at the door, and meeting the young girls on the threshold with a bright face and pleasant smile:"You have seen the boys off?"
14379Sure enough, where is it?"
14379Surely, you can not give it all up without a sigh?"
14379Tell me another of your stories, wo n''t you?
14379That''s another name for Surfside, is n''t it?"
14379The assassins are already assembling, the time wanes fast, and will you stretch forth no hand to save their innocent, helpless victims?''
14379Then Mrs. Keith remarked:"You look weary, dear Aunt Wealthy; will you not lie down and rest for a little?"
14379Then a single word fell from the soldier''s lips,''Lucia?''
14379Then turning to Mrs. Keith,"How is it with you, Marcia?"
14379There is none; and will faith in a myth save the soul?
14379They were silent for a little while, then hanging her head and blushing,"Papa,"she asked,"what did you do with those notes you made me write?"
14379Usually your only inquiry is,''Is it right?''
14379Were n''t you terribly frightened, dear?"
14379What do you all say?"
14379What do you say, love?
14379What errand think you draws them hither just at this time, when nearly every able- bodied Vaudois is absent on the frontier?''
14379What has become of your other half?"
14379What have you to say for your Master now?"
14379What is it?"
14379What is to be done about Bob and Betty Johnson?
14379What kept you?"
14379What next?
14379What were you doing?"
14379What you dinks?
14379When Lulu had drained the tumbler it was carried away by Agnes, and Grandma Elsie, sitting down beside the bed, asked,"Are you sleepy, my child?
14379When did you arrive?"
14379When will he come again, Lulu?"
14379Where are grandma and mamma?
14379Where are your parents or guardians, that you were permitted to step out there with no one to take care of you?"
14379Which shall it be?"
14379Who that has experienced it could ever again want to choose for him or herself?"
14379Why should not she have a share in the fun as well as Max?
14379Will you go up?
14379Wo n''t you go with us, Lulu?"
14379Wo n''t you, please?"
14379You''re not afraid of wind and thunder?"
14379a fery long dime to live?"
14379a little girl?"
14379and his beautiful queen lost their lives?"
14379and what can he want here but to kill Gracie and me?
14379and what was that?''
14379and who is the author?"
14379and would that be very difficult?"
14379are not our brave defenders theirs also?
14379as a heavy, rolling sound reverberated among the mountains;''artillery?''
14379asked Edward;"do n''t you want your pictures hung and a place found for each vase and other household ornament?"
14379but you will go, mamma, wo n''t you?"
14379ca n''t you guess?
14379ca n''t you keep quiet?"
14379can we do?
14379coffee that was stirred with a dirty poker?"
14379cried Grace,"how could you dare to do so?"
14379cried Sara,''can even popish cruelty, ingratitude, and treachery go so far?
14379do n''t you know?
14379escaped my embraces for the present, have you, my pretty barbet?''
14379forgot to pay attention to your father''s commands?
14379he is not seeking salvation by works, but by faith; then is he not safe, even though he looks for a Saviour yet to come?''
14379hearing the gracious invitation of Him who died that you might live,''Come unto me,''and refusing to accept it?
14379inquired the latter with concern;"is Gracie not feeling well?"
14379is anything wrong?"
14379is he your lover?"
14379is it not untold bliss to know that we may-- that we shall serve Him forever?
14379keeping the passes against a common foe?''
14379killed without a moment''s time to repent of her disobedience to her father''s known wishes and commands?
14379may I have the pleasure of helping you?"
14379murder in cold blood the innocent, helpless wives and children of the brave men who are defending theirs from a common foe?
14379or anybody else?"
14379or to thy faithfulness round about Thee?
14379shall I know him when I see him?''
14379she asked,"I think it looks just like the sea; what''s the matter with it, Aunt Zoe?"
14379she cried, in a transport of joy,"is it really you?
14379she cried,"what would be the use?
14379she exclaimed,"are you here?
14379she murmured;"have I been ill?"
14379she muttered to herself;"now papa knows it, and what will he say and do to me?"
14379she said with a face of disgust,"I do n''t mean to drink any of that coffee; why, would you believe it, they stirred it with a poker?"
14379some one was to blame, and why not make a scapegoat of the hated Vaudois?
14379something seemed to reply;"suppose he should; would n''t he punish you for your behavior since he left, only two days ago?"
14379that nothing can ever separate us from the love of Christ?"
14379the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?''
14379they cried,''how many names in all?''
14379what are they?"
14379what could he do?
14379what has happened?"
14379what have you been doing to yourself?"
14379what match was he for even one of the horde of desperadoes that would soon be upon them?
14379would Odetti, would Brianza have warned us, were the danger not imminent?
14379yet how far may we trust the word of one whose creed bids him keep no faith with heretics?''
14379you are happy here, are you not, dear Aunt Wealthy?"
38353Agreed,said Donald;"but what''s to be done with the lasses in the meantime?
38353Ah mamma, is that it? 38353 Ah, Isa, do you judge of me by yourself?"
38353Ai n''t the rest of you coming, ladies and gentlemen?
38353Am I imposing upon your unselfish kindness of heart, my dear cousin?
38353Am I to have an answer to my question, Miss Keith?
38353An author then?
38353And Mrs. Travilla is Cousin Elsie?
38353And do those of Mr. Jones not come up to the standard?
38353And from this, is it not?
38353And has a yacht of his own?
38353And he comforts you in the midst of it all, does he not?
38353And he could n''t be in better company, could he?
38353And if anybody happens to indulge in an extra morning nap, what''s to be the penalty?
38353And is it as pretty as Viamede?
38353And may not I too, and Herbert, papa?
38353And my aunt?
38353And so you are pleased, Vi?
38353And what did grandpa do to you?
38353And what do you think yours is to us, mamma?
38353And what for to- morrow?
38353And what of that?
38353And why not?
38353And why should n''t I be patient?
38353And yet-- you are quite sure that this is not a sudden impulse for which you may some day be sorry?
38353And you are willing for me to go?
38353And you think she cares for him?
38353And you will not mind if Aunt Louise blames you? 38353 And you''ll stay, wo n''t you?
38353And you, dear child?
38353And your father and mother approve?
38353Anything else, Miss Keith?
38353Are they your own?
38353Are we not told to pray without ceasing?
38353Are you not late, my dear?
38353Are you quite tired out, Amy?
38353Are you so very happy? 38353 Are you timid about venturing on the sea, Miss Travilla?"
38353Arthur, will you carry a message from me to Isa?
38353At what hours shall we take our meals?
38353Breakfast at eight, dinner at one, tea at six; will these hours suit all? 38353 But Aunt Louise, papa?"
38353But I suppose you hardly know; you could see nothing but-- your companion?
38353But Molly?
38353But did you learn it?
38353But do n''t you think you ought? 38353 But do tell me,"in a still lower tone,"has cousin lost her husband lately?"
38353But is n''t it nice that now I can give poor Amy Fletcher-- for that is her name-- two or three weeks here at the sea- shore?
38353But sit down first, wo n''t you?
38353But the darkness, grandpa?
38353But to- morrow''s dinner,said Mary, presently;"shall we get back in time for me to cook it?"
38353But we tan''t doe wis- out papa,prattled Walter;"tan we, mamma?
38353But what is grandpa to do without his merry little cricket?
38353But what is the matter?
38353But what''s the matter?
38353But where is it, Edward?
38353But why?
38353But you must have some lodging place?
38353But your relatives? 38353 But, grandma,"sobbed Harold,"why did n''t He let our dear papa stay with us a little longer?
38353But-- Vi, you will not care to bathe while we are gone?
38353Ca n''t help loving you? 38353 Ca n''t we find some texts about the good angels?"
38353Ca n''t we manage that somehow?
38353Ca n''t we see her? 38353 Can you bear it?"
38353Can you stand that insinuation, Donald?
38353Come, girls,said Ella,"let us go too; why should we miss the fun, if there is to be any?"
38353Corinna,to the eldest,"do n''t you want this sweet lady to come and live with us and be your dear mamma?"
38353Could n''t I be a lawyer?
38353Could you bear to go to him?
38353Could you bear to have him removed to Viamede? 38353 Cousin,"said Mary,"shall we take a stroll on the beach?"
38353Dear mamma, are you ill? 38353 Did he ask Molly to go with him?"
38353Did she ever meet any one she cared for?
38353Did you not seek help from above, my son?
38353Directly in front of the ocean? 38353 Do you intend to be so selfish as to monopolize your mother''s society?"
38353Do you mean to say you think there has been a conspiracy between them?
38353Do you suspect me of praising your generosity for a purpose? 38353 Do you think I could be of any assistance out there?"
38353Do you think that would be a good plan?
38353Do you think we might venture now?
38353Do you think, mamma, that I ought to go into the ministry?
38353Do you wish the matter kept secret?
38353Donald Keith,she read aloud, and holding out her hand with a sweet, welcoming smile,"How do you do, cousin?"
38353Edward, can I be of any assistance to you?
38353Engaged?
38353Five o''clock-- just an hour to tea- time,Charlie said, consulting his watch:"what shall we do with it?
38353Flour? 38353 For how long is it?
38353George Boyd, is it you? 38353 Has my dear Vi then secrets from her mother?"
38353Has not your Cousin Molly worked very hard for a number of years?
38353Have n''t you enjoyed it too, mamma?
38353Have you noticed how constantly Cyril seeks her companionship? 38353 Home?
38353How Elsie can what?
38353How can one tell to what work he is called, mamma?
38353How could I, chained to my chair, do a mother''s part by them?
38353How could they go to their beds without seeing mamma?
38353How do you do, Miss?
38353How is your husband this morning?
38353How long do you stay here, Cousin Mary?
38353How many will it hold?
38353How much do you think you deserve at my hands?
38353How soon are you going to be married?
38353How soon do you think of starting?
38353I have n''t finished the letter; but there, take it; what do I care about her fine dresses and presents, and the splendors of Magnolia Hall?
38353I hope our excursion is not to be interfered with, cousin?
38353I know he did, dear child; and do you know the way?
38353I opine that I am speaking to a grandson of my cousin Marcia Keith and her husband, Stuart Keith, of Pleasant Plains, Indiana?
38353I shall take good care of you, as who would not of his own?
38353I think mamma, that I am not doing wrong to tell you, though the words were not meant for my ear?
38353I wish--"Well, my son?
38353Is Satan a real person? 38353 Is he a friend of yours, Edward?"
38353Is it so, Dinsmore?
38353Is n''t it strange?
38353Is that all?
38353Is the meeting ready for business?
38353Is there any hope at all?
38353Isa is invited, I presume?
38353It would not be strange if she should; he is a very agreeable man, and-- Did you notice them last night? 38353 Just come to her room, wo n''t you?"
38353Keith?
38353Little lady,the old man said, with a longing look into the sweet girlish face,"will you sing me that song again?
38353Mamma, can we-- Elsie and I-- have a little private talk with you?
38353Mamma, how soon will we go to Viamede?
38353Mamma, is she sick?
38353Mamma, what is the text that says it will please Him?
38353Mamma, which are we to believe,asked Rosie,"the minister or the Bible?"
38353Mamma, would you like to tell us about it?
38353Mamma,Elsie began,"you saw a young lady talking with us after church?
38353May I walk''longside ob de Missus up to de house?
38353Miss Neff,he sighed, turning to Ella,"I''ve lost my situation: will you?"
38353Molly, why do you cry so? 38353 Mrs. Perkins,"he said, turning to her,"if Fred were here, would you object to his going?"
38353My brother?
38353My child, do n''t you think Mr. Jones believes it?
38353My child, do you not believe in prayer as both a duty and a privilege? 38353 My dear friend,''who is sufficient for these things?''"
38353My happiness? 38353 No, mamma dearest,"Vi said, blushing and laying her head down on her mother''s shoulder,"but the house here is as full as ever, is n''t it?"
38353No? 38353 Not quite, but what is it you do not approve?"
38353Now who can quote a promise or assurance that we, if the true children of God, shall have help or protection from them?
38353Now, Ed and Herbie, what will you be?
38353O Edward, you will not go, surely?
38353O Elsie, can we ever be happy again?
38353O Vi,sighed Elsie, with a look of apprehension,"do you in the least know what you are about?"
38353O grandma,sobbed Elsie,"do you think mamma can ever be cheerful and happy again?
38353O love, darling, precious one, must we part? 38353 Of Elsie''s engagement?
38353Oh could you not go with us to stay at least a few weeks? 38353 Oh is n''t it?"
38353Oh is papa better?
38353Oh what shall I do?
38353Oh, why do you tempt me so?
38353Oh, why not stay longer? 38353 Papa is in the library; shall we join him and hear what he thinks of your plan?"
38353Papa, is-- is anything wrong with--"With any of your loved ones? 38353 Papa, what would you have me do?"
38353Save them from what, darling?
38353Secrets to tell, eh?
38353Separation from me?
38353Shall I bring him up and introduce him?
38353Shall we drive over and see about the children?
38353Shall you be so very sorry to see your grandpa?
38353So mother has n''t told you? 38353 So you will consent, mother?"
38353Take some sand with you, then, to bury his hand in, wo n''t you?
38353Tempt you? 38353 Thank you,"laughed Isa;"do you forget that it is now just one week from your appointed day?
38353That does not trouble you?
38353That we should be constantly on our guard against the wiles of these adversaries, is it not, sir?
38353That''s only because you''re fretting so; and what''s the use? 38353 The dinner dishes?"
38353The other end is made fast on shore, I suppose?
38353The very mention of his name must be a pain to her; can she not be spared it?
38353Then I may hope my dear wife will not be unhappy here? 38353 Then shall we not have one of our own?"
38353Then we may hope to keep you for a good while yet?
38353Then which of you, my three cousins, Don, Edward, and Charlie, will take the lead in these acts of worship?
38353Then why did you run away from me?
38353Then why should you think so?
38353Then you do n''t wish him to stay?
38353Then you own that a woman can keep a secret?
38353Then you will go?
38353Then you will not go home?
38353Then you wo n''t change your mind(''tis a woman''s privilege, you know) and go along? 38353 Was it that I loved my husband too well?"
38353Was there ever such another dear, good mother as ours?
38353We all profess to be Christians: shall we live together, even for the short space of two or three weeks, like heathen or mere worldings?
38353We will not leave Molly behind?
38353We''ll soon find out, mamma; do n''t you see she is with Miss Keith? 38353 Well, Isa will come home to be married?"
38353Well, Molly, when, where, and by whom is the knot to be tied?
38353Well, daughter?
38353Well, daughters, what is it?
38353Well, dear, what is your explanation?
38353Well, do you think he''ll succeed?
38353Well, if we find something to put it in, and get it all ready for you, will you take it in your trunk?
38353Well, if you should spend a day at home and get her consent to come back; how would that do?
38353Well, my dear boy, what is it?
38353Well, my dears, I should be glad to have you do so; and you surely can not doubt that it would be right?
38353Well, one at a time then: When?
38353Well,she returned in the same playful tone,"what is there to hinder?"
38353What about, cousin?
38353What are you two saying to each other?
38353What are your terms for tuition, Miss Keith?
38353What brings Mr. Ford here, do you suppose, mamma?
38353What can have become of mamma that she has not been in to watch our progress?
38353What is it you wish, Arthur?
38353What is it, Uncle Ben?
38353What is it, mamma?
38353What is it, papa?
38353What is it, papa?
38353What is it?
38353What is the matter?
38353What is there to hinder?
38353What is this I hear of danger and shipwreck?
38353What more, papa?
38353What of that?
38353What sort of provisions do you propose to lay in, Miss Keith?
38353What were they?
38353What''s the programme for this afternoon?
38353What''s to be done about it?
38353What, Vi?
38353What?
38353When do you expect Ella and Amy?
38353Where are you from?
38353Where did you drive, Molly?
38353Where is Molly?
38353Where is he?
38353Where is the cottage? 38353 Where to?"
38353Where, where shall we go for comfort?
38353Which you expect to be great enough to allow you to escape the justice that should have been meted out to you years ago?
38353Which?
38353Who are to be my assistants?
38353Why do n''t you wish I''d get shot in the next fight with the Indians? 38353 Why, mamma?"
38353Why, what can have become of mamma? 38353 Why, what do you mean, my son?"
38353Why, yes; have you never heard me speak of him? 38353 Will Tallis?"
38353Will you come to my house- warming, Mrs. Perkins, you and Fred and Susie?
38353Will you let me play a little?
38353Will you please open the door now and ask them to come in? 38353 Will you try it first, sir?"
38353With what?
38353Wo n''t you come, pretty lady? 38353 Wo n''t you let us help you down to the beach?
38353Would it not be well to give yourself one more day of rest?
38353Would it not have been_ his_ wish? 38353 Would you if you could, my husband?"
38353Yes, I think it is,said Molly;"but do you consider it a question of any importance, uncle?"
38353Yes, mamma, but was n''t it easier for you to learn than it is for me?
38353Yes,he said, fondling her;"why should I not have you here as I used to twenty odd years ago?
38353Yes,said Violet,"and when Achan had sinned, did n''t they cast lots to find out who it was that troubled Israel?"
38353You can go with us without feeling obliged to share in that, can you not?
38353You do n''t mean it?
38353You do n''t think I am?
38353You do n''t think as she does about it, uncle?
38353You do not disapprove?
38353You do not mean poor in purse, mamma?
38353You have heard the news?
38353You have seen Aunt Mildred and some others of the family since then?
38353You surely did not consent to that?
38353You will be mine? 38353 You will invite Dick, will you not?"
38353You will let me go to them?
38353You would be willing, mother?
38353You would n''t wish it, surely? 38353 You would n''t?"
38353You''re a new- comer, ai n''t you?
38353Your bill of fare sounds very good, but what if you should fail in the cooking?
38353Your girls, too, mamma?
38353Your love, dear girl, and the blessed privilege of taking care of you, are all I ask, all I want-- can you not give me these?
38353''If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?''"
38353''Is Satan a real person?''
38353''most ready?"
38353--_Joanna Baillie._"Well, cricket, are we to carry you back with us?"
38353Ah, can your heart resist their appeal?"
38353Amy, do you feel equal to a stroll on the beach, with the support of my arm?"
38353And are you not indulging a naughty temper?"
38353And did n''t I tell you there''d be somebody better worth having than Elsie''s lover coming after you some day?
38353And do n''t you think, mamma, that a doctor may do really as much good as a minister?"
38353And his wife?
38353And if the two most intimately concerned are happy and content, what matter for the rest?"
38353And now for the application, the lesson we should learn from all this: what do you think it is, Harold?"
38353And shall we not write to his aunt, inviting her to come and be with him while he lives?
38353And who can tell but there may yet be mercy in store for him?
38353And why should I need permission to go on the sea in a yacht any more than in a fishing- boat?
38353And why should we feel it a trial to speak aloud to our Father in the presence of others of his children, or of those who are not?"
38353And you, dearest wife-- does He sustain you in this hour?"
38353And you, sir, are the Cousin Horace of whom I have so often heard my grandmother and Aunt Mildred speak?"
38353Are you not forgetting that we have always been trained to think and decide for ourselves in all cases where it is right and proper for us to do so?
38353As to the next question-- where?--you surely will let it be here, in my house?"
38353Beside, what''s the use?
38353Boyd?"
38353But do you think I ought to choose so very hard a life as Harold means to?"
38353But is n''t she sweet?"
38353But oh, do n''t you think it will be fun to keep house, do our own cooking and all?"
38353But that is not all you and Vi had to say?"
38353But to which branch do you belong?"
38353But what is it that you regret or fear?
38353But why did you not let us know of your coming, Cousin Cyril?
38353But why should they be expected to object?"
38353But you and papa will never allow it?"
38353But you think there is no doubt that grandpa will be willing to go?"
38353But, Cal, what do you suppose Uncle Horace will think of Elsie''s choice?"
38353But, O, dearest girl, what shall I, what can I say to convince you that you are my heart''s desire?
38353But_ do n''t_ I know where I went?"
38353Ca n''t you and I claim kin, seeing she''s cousin to both of us?"
38353Can we look at it?"
38353Can you answer me that?"
38353Can you spare it?
38353Can you think of any such thing?"
38353Carrington?"
38353Could she ever cease to do so?--ever lose that weary homesickness of heart that at times seemed almost more than mortal strength could endure?
38353Did n''t you hear the agreement between Charlie and Don yesterday?"
38353Did n''t you know it?"
38353Did she know it was that?
38353Do n''t you think we are going to have a jolly time here?"
38353Do n''t you think you''d enjoy it?"
38353Do n''t you?
38353Do you not love Jesus and trust in him alone for salvation?"
38353Do you object to taking them in a crowd?
38353Do you remember anything about it, Elsie?"
38353Do you think it would be really kind to indulge him in doing so?"
38353Elsie answered, weeping;"who has not reason for such self reproach?
38353Have you brought all I ordered?"
38353Have you time to hear it?"
38353He soothed her very tenderly for a moment, then asked gently,"Would he not have bidden you go?"
38353He went down there to attend the wedding, I presume?"
38353How can you and papa do without her?
38353How can you resist the call of all the bloom and beauty you can see from your window there?"
38353How could I ever choose a single pang for you, beloved?
38353How could we when papa bade us not?
38353How_ can_ she?
38353I hope I do not intrude, cousin?"
38353I suppose, though, that it would be useless to attempt any interference with the course of true love?"
38353I wonder who she is?"
38353I''ll not cumber the ground much longer, ca n''t you see that?
38353If you hate him, is it not without a cause?"
38353If you will not drive, wo n''t you let one of the servants wheel you out there-- near enough to enable you to watch the game?"
38353Is it anything in which I can assist you?"
38353Is it not a sweet assurance?"
38353Is it not in your power to give them all these?
38353Is it not?"
38353Is n''t she a rich and beautiful widow?
38353Is n''t you, papa?"
38353Is not that home also full of pleasant memories of him?"
38353Is that what they do who have no love to Christ?
38353It is Lester Leland, is it not?"
38353It was Rosie who broke the silence at length;"Mamma, can we not go pretty soon?"
38353May I run and tell them?"
38353May I tell Molly?"
38353May n''t I go out and have a good run before I try any more?"
38353Mother, you could not have read this when you uttered that insinuation against her a few moments since?"
38353Mr. Dinsmore,"and he stepped forward with outstretched hand,"how do you do, sir?
38353No, indeed; who could?"
38353O Elsie, ca n''t you be content to live on always in just the way we have ever since we were little bits of things?"
38353O Molly, have you no love to bestow upon poor me?"
38353O grandpa, is she sick?"
38353Of whom do you speak?"
38353Oh can not you see that I have nothing to give you in return for all you-- in your wonderful generosity-- are offering to me?"
38353Oh what''s that?"
38353Oh, why did we ever meet?
38353Papa, can business matters be arranged in that time?"
38353Papa, can nothing be done for him?"
38353Perrine?"
38353Rosie, when did you see her last?"
38353Shall I ever be rid of this weary pain in my heart?"
38353Shall I not have your meal sent in to you?"
38353Shall I open the door?"
38353Shall we go to one of the hotels?"
38353She had begged so hard to come,"because it might be the Curlew, so how could she stay away?"
38353Should she not awake presently to its unreality?
38353Since he is infinite in both, can he not so order events as to secure the best good to all his creatures?"
38353So what could I do but write the story and try to show how the love of Christ in the heart can make life happy even under sore bereavement?
38353Some one must lead-- there ought always to be several to do so-- and why should you be excused more than another?"
38353Some one touched her on the shoulder, and her mother''s voice asked,"What''s the matter, Molly?
38353Surely you did not neglect to invite her to join you here, Elsie?"
38353Then as he ran his eye down the long list of casualties,"Why, what is this?"
38353There was a moment of silence; then,"It is about breakfast time now,"he said,"but you will not venture out in this gale, surely?
38353There was a subdued eagerness about the younger ones, as they hastened to their mother asking,"Mamma, is it really so-- that we are going to Viamede?"
38353They turned in at an open gateway, and Molly, suddenly rousing herself, said, in surprise,"We are entering some one''s private grounds, are we not?"
38353Travilla?"
38353Travilla?"
38353Turning to Vi again,"Well, you must have had a long, tiresome journey; and I suppose you did n''t come all alone?"
38353Vi saw it, and, as he turned to her with,"Do n''t you play and sing, my dear?
38353Violet answered with a doubtful"Yes, mamma, but--""Well, dear?"
38353Was her husband''s doom then sealed?
38353Was that her husband''s step coming slowly along the hall?
38353We had a delightful visit, had we not, papa?"
38353We''ll accept the invitation, of course, mamma?"
38353Well, my dear child, I trust you have not made a hasty choice?"
38353What about other supplies?"
38353What could I ever do without you-- husband, friend, counsellor, guide-- everything in one?"
38353What do you all say about it?"
38353What do you say to receiving me into the family?
38353What do you say, papa?"
38353What do you think of it?"
38353What do you think of them?"
38353What does Dick say, Wal?
38353What else, Herbert?"
38353What meant this sudden seizure, this anguish so great that it had bowed in a moment the strength of a strong man?
38353What shall I do without my sister?
38353What woman''s heart could stand out against it?"
38353When should they meet again?
38353When?
38353Where can she have gone?"
38353Where''s my hat?
38353Which of you can name some instances given in the Bible?"
38353Who can work fast and well when brain and body are both weary?
38353Will you come?"
38353Will you refuse them to me?"
38353Will you?"
38353You do n''t envy her that poor artist fellow, do you?
38353You seem to stand in the place of a father to her; will you give her to me?"
38353You value my affection?"
38353You were discussing it with grandpa and mamma, were you not?"
38353You wo n''t oppose what they so highly approve, mother?"
38353You would not call him back?"
38353a second dinner?"
38353and I did not mean to omit silent, ejaculatory prayer; but is it my duty to lead the devotions of others?"
38353and made him our guardian, too?"
38353and were the devils whom Christ and his disciples cast out, real persons?"
38353are you two cousins?"
38353at one of the public houses here?"
38353but is it not enough for me to pray at home in my closet, and to unite silently with the prayers offered by ministers and others in public?"
38353ca n''t we go to her?"
38353ca n''t you buy bread here?"
38353could you endure his presence there for the few weeks he has yet to live?"
38353does my Vi want to leave her mother again so soon?"
38353exclaimed Charlie, in high glee,"what''s all this?
38353exclaimed his wife, looking shocked and awe- struck:"how did he die?
38353have n''t I watched Cousin Mary''s cooking operations for over two weeks?
38353he asked in an undertone, taking Elsie''s hand in his;"is it too great a sacrifice of your own feelings and inclinations?"
38353he returned;"did n''t Christ suffer far more than I do?"
38353he said in low, tremulous tones, holding her close, and repeating his caresses,"how shall I ever make up to you for the sorrows of your infancy?
38353he said, turning toward her,"who talks of that?
38353how did he die?"
38353how naturally the others leave those two to pair off together?
38353is anything wrong with her?"
38353is he dead?
38353my own dear wife?
38353no desire after conformity to his will?
38353oh who, mamma?
38353oh why did it turn out so heavy?
38353one, two, or three weeks?"
38353or do you think my trousseau could be gotten up in a week, though it takes three for yours?"
38353or is Elsie?
38353or me?"
38353remain through the winter with us, if she can find it convenient and agreeable to do so?"
38353she asked of her eldest daughter;"did she go with your grandpa and the others?"
38353she exclaimed,"I put a minister over your church?
38353she sighed,"what can we do for him?
38353social and public as well as private prayer?"
38353that I want you, your love, your dear companionship, more than tongue can tell?
38353the culpable, heartless neglect with which your father treated you then?
38353to give yourself to me when I want you so much, so very much?"
38353turning to her mother;"and the next question is, what shall we wear?"
38353was there any ground for hope?"
38353were you not always his first care?"
38353where?
38353whispered her husband,"do n''t you see she hears you?"
38353who would dare?
38353why not come directly to us?"
38353will not regret leaving the beauties of Viamede and the charming society there for this place and the companionship of its owner?
38353would it be a sin to love me?
38353would n''t you have liked it when you were my age?"
38353your other children?
14909Ah, Max, are you there?
14909Ah, my dears,she said, turning to them with a kind and pleasant look,"has no one attended to you?
14909Ah, was that the cause of your fright?
14909Ah, where are you now, love?
14909All ready, Max?
14909Am I all right?
14909Am I? 14909 And how can I help loving you because you are the children of my dear husband?"
14909And how did you expect to support yourself?
14909And how has your papa''s baby girl enjoyed herself?
14909And may I hand you the things, papa?
14909And the lessons? 14909 And was n''t it good in him to give gold thimbles to Gracie and me?
14909And what do you think of those?
14909And when we all get started there''ll be some nice story read aloud, wo n''t there, mamma?
14909And who is Aunt Beulah?
14909And will you come in too, Lulu dear?
14909And will you not ask God''s forgiveness, also, dear child?
14909And you are quite sure Rosie may be trusted not to let the secret slip out unintentionally?
14909And you have to help me by punishing me when I''m naughty, and making me do as I ought?
14909Are you awake, Max?
14909Are you going to pack the other trunks, papa? 14909 Are you quite sure, grandpa, that mamma would n''t allow it?"
14909Are you quite well?
14909Are you ready to go down now, Zoe?
14909Arthur, have we your permission to roam over the house?
14909As much as you do Max and Gracie?
14909Ashamed of you, Zoe? 14909 Before I have to go to bed?"
14909But do you not see,said Grandma Elsie,"that if every one would refuse to buy them, the cruel business of killing them would soon cease?
14909But how was I brought up here? 14909 But how, Levis?"
14909But maybe he went without leave?
14909But now the question is, what is to be done with him? 14909 But really, Edward, you do n''t think, do you, that wives are to obey like children?"
14909But shall we not promise each other that we will never part in anger, even when the separation may not be for an hour? 14909 But what has happened to make you so angry, and why are n''t you eating your supper with the rest?"
14909But what is the matter, my darling?
14909But what shall I give you? 14909 But what should I gain to pay me for all the suffering?"
14909But where are Max and Lulu?
14909But wo n''t you ask Him to forgive me, Grandma Elsie?
14909But you could n''t have feared that?
14909But you will do it, Max? 14909 But, Max, you do n''t think papa means to punish me for that, do you?
14909But, mamma, do you think the man should always rule and have his way in everything?
14909Ca n''t you give a civil answer to a simple question?
14909Ca n''t you set matters straight, then?
14909Ca n''t you? 14909 Can I do anything for you in the town, ladies?"
14909Can I have a word in private with you, mamma?
14909Can I help, Mamma Vi?
14909Can this be my baby girl? 14909 Can you fold ladies''dresses so that they will carry without rumpling?"
14909Cancer, sir? 14909 Did I?
14909Did he, mamma?
14909Did not Jesus weep with compassion over the sinners of Jerusalem, many of whom were even then plotting His death? 14909 Did she doubt it?"
14909Did you give him leave, Elsie?
14909Did you not notice the looks she gave him at the table, to- night? 14909 Did you obey your husband?"
14909Did you, dear? 14909 Did you?"
14909Did you?
14909Do n''t you know, little girl,said Miss Deane in a soft, purring tone,"that nobody expects married people to remain lovers always?"
14909Do n''t you think your husband an oracle?
14909Do n''t you want to be out at play, too, Lulu?
14909Do they suit your taste, dears?
14909Do you begin to get over it, old fellow?
14909Do you consider the whole of your marriage vow an unmeaning form, Zoe?
14909Do you feel equal to a ride this afternoon?
14909Do you know, Lulu, that they skin the poor little birds alive in order to preserve the brilliancy of their plumage?
14909Do you mean to defy my authority, Zoe?
14909Do you not wish to be like him in that? 14909 Do you think Grandpa Dinsmore is so very, very cross to us?"
14909Do you think I''d go and sit at the table with them when they wo n''t have you and Max there, too?
14909Do you think my heart is so small that it can hold love enough for but a limited number? 14909 Do you think that would have been the better plan?"
14909Do you think the evening air would be injurious to them, Arthur?
14909Do you want to run away from them now?
14909Do you, my dear boy?
14909Does it last long? 14909 Does it?
14909Edward, did you ever see anything finer?
14909Grandpa, ca n''t she be let out?
14909Had he permission from you or any one, Violet?
14909Have a cigar?
14909Have n''t you a kiss for me, Lulu, dear?
14909Have you forgotten how God punished Gehazi for lying by making him a leper, and struck Ananias and Sapphira dead for the same sin? 14909 Have you locked her up there for bad behavior?"
14909Have you, dear?
14909He tells you, dear; did you not notice?
14909How are you, dears? 14909 How could I laugh at you for being willing to sacrifice everything for me?
14909How could we with Cal and yourself for our hosts?
14909How do you mean?
14909How long are they likely to stay?
14909How long do you expect to be gone, Edward?
14909How make believe?
14909How many cigars have you smoked?
14909How old is she, mamma?
14909How would I answer?
14909How?
14909I am convinced now that I am only a foolish child in need of guidance and control, and who should provide them but you? 14909 I am his own wife, and who has a better right to his love than I?
14909I believe it''s gone,she said, drawing a long breath of relief, as she turned her head this way and that,"but where did it go to?
14909I hope nothing is wrong with our little Zoe?
14909I may send the children their supper, grandpa?
14909I promise,she said,"and,"imploringly,"O Ned, wo n''t you keep my secret?
14909I think He has forgiven me, and will you forgive me, too, papa? 14909 I was not so kind as I might, or should have been last night, but you will not lay it up against your husband, love?"
14909I wonder who he is, and if he''s come to stay any time? 14909 I''m very well pleased, Rosie, but why should n''t Zoe have heard your announcement?"
14909If what, dear?
14909If what, love?
14909In regard to what?
14909Is Grandpa vexed because I was not here in season?
14909Is anything wrong with the children, Levis?
14909Is he a boy? 14909 Is my husband much like him?"
14909Is n''t it a beauty?
14909Is n''t it nice, Grandma Elsie?
14909Is she not a darling, mamma?
14909It has been a happy year in spite of my grief for my dear, dear father, except when-- O Ned, we wo n''t ever be cross to one another again, will we?
14909It would have lasted but a few days, and, my darling, what would have become of you then?
14909It''s Vi''s, is it?
14909Mamma Vi, is that strange lady any relation to you?
14909Mamma Vi, may I kiss you and it, too?
14909Mamma, do I look nice enough for your little girl?
14909Mamma, mamma,she said,"will God never forgive me?
14909Mamma,asked Rosie,"where was grandpa sitting when you went to him and confessed that you had let Carry Howard cut off one of your curls?"
14909Mamma,said Gracie, coming to Violet''s other side,"may n''t I have some work, too?
14909Mamma,said Zoe,"may I ask you a question?"
14909Max,she said, turning to him as with a sudden thought,"what do you suppose papa is coming to our rooms for?"
14909May I not share your care or sorrow, whatever it is?
14909May we come in, Mamma Vi?
14909May we go close up, mamma?
14909May we not be a little more lenient toward him?
14909Miss Gracie,she asked, as she followed Grace down the stairs,"what fo''you shut ole Tab up in de dressin''-room?
14909My child,returned Violet,"how could I be anything else to the children of my dear husband?
14909Never smoked before? 14909 No, I know he does n''t,"she returned vehemently,"but ca n''t you understand that I''d like him to have more to spend on himself?"
14909No, I sha''n''t; what''s the use? 14909 No, mamma, not by any means, but how could I suppose my wise oldest brother would care for such a trifle?"
14909Not even by me?
14909Not often? 14909 Nothing that I would want to hear?
14909Nothing, so far as I know,said Violet"Why do you think there was?"
14909Now, mamma,said Rosie,"wo n''t you go into the hall with us and show us just where papa caught you, and kissed you, and gave you the gold thimble?
14909Now, what next?
14909Now, what shall I do to please you?
14909O Edward, are you not sorry you are married? 14909 O Lu, are n''t you glad?"
14909Oh, is it true? 14909 Oh, will you take me with you, Ned?"
14909Or me?
14909Or you, wife?
14909Papa, ca n''t I have it?
14909Papa, have you said they might punish me?
14909Papa, you will think of us, too?
14909Papa,he said, with a roguish look into his father''s face,"do n''t you think you would enjoy reading them first?"
14909Papa,she said, looking up into his face,"do you find it hard to be good sometimes?"
14909Papa,turning smilingly to him, and pointing to a closed door on the farther side of the room,"do you remember my imprisonment in that closet?"
14909Papa----"Well, what is it?
14909Parted from my husband for weeks? 14909 Perhaps, then, you will lock me up?"
14909Please, sir, will you allow me to fold my dresses?
14909Ralph, is this the kind of boy you are? 14909 Rather more strict and stern than ours was, is he not?"
14909Shall I disturb you if I talk?
14909Shall I tell you the secret of managing it, dear?
14909Shall we stay here till you come down again, papa?
14909So you have found that out already, have you?
14909Sorry for your former naughtiness and rebellion?
14909Surely, my dear Zoe, Edward does not insist upon his little wife learning lessons whether she is willing or not?
14909Tell me, do you think Mamma Vi will ever love me any more? 14909 Then he never ordered you?"
14909Then shall we kiss and be friends, and try not to quarrel any more?
14909Then you will forgive me?
14909Then you wo n''t say them any more, will you? 14909 Then, where would be the use of my going to him for it?
14909Think you can get down with the help of my arm?
14909Two bears, mamma?
14909Unkind, my child?
14909Was that it?
14909Well, Lu, are you sorry now that papa made you come home so soon?
14909Well, Max, my son, what is it?
14909Well, daughter, what is it?
14909Well, little wife, is it nice to be at home again?
14909Well, what about him?
14909Well, what is it, Max, my dear boy?
14909What about Max? 14909 What are you two chatting so cosily about in that far- off corner?"
14909What can I do for you?
14909What can it be that so interests my little wife that she does not even know that her husband has come home, after this their first day of separation? 14909 What did I do?
14909What did you want to see me for, Mamma Vi?
14909What do you mean by that, sir? 14909 What do you now think a boy deserves who has done it again and again?
14909What do_ you_ suppose? 14909 What for?"
14909What has come over you, Zoe?
14909What has put so absurd an idea into your head?
14909What has troubled you?
14909What have you been reading to- day?
14909What have you done with your wife, young man?
14909What have you there? 14909 What have you to say?"
14909What is it, Lulu, dear? 14909 What is it, Max?"
14909What is that? 14909 What is the matter?"
14909What is wrong with you, my dear little daughter?
14909What makes you say I put her in there, Betty?
14909What punishment do you prescribe?
14909What pup?
14909What scenes?
14909What shall I say first, Mamma Vi?
14909What time is it? 14909 What will mamma say?"
14909What you talkin''''bout, you sassy niggah?
14909What''s de mattah wid de young gentleman? 14909 What''s that for?"
14909What''s the matter?
14909When do our holidays begin, mamma?
14909When will you come back?
14909Where are Max and Gracie?
14909Where can he be?
14909Where did you get it?
14909Where have you been, Max?
14909Where have you been?
14909Where is she now?
14909Where''s Ned?
14909Where''s mamma?
14909Where''s my book, Lu?
14909Who can have done this?
14909Who''s there?
14909Why are you going back, Lulu? 14909 Why are you so silent, little woman?"
14909Why does papa say we must do such things?
14909Why look at these, if it makes you sad, my child?
14909Why not? 14909 Why not?
14909Why should I not have a little trouble as well as other people? 14909 Why, Gracie, what could have put such a notion into your head?''"
14909Why, Gracie, what is the matter?
14909Why, Max, what else could induce him to give you a home here and be at the trouble of teaching you every day?
14909Why, ca n''t I do as I please as well as grown people?
14909Why, how''s this? 14909 Why, mamma, where did you get it?
14909Why, my child?
14909Why, papa?
14909Why, what do you mean, Rosie?
14909Will we?
14909Will you be pleased to hear me recite now?
14909Will you hear mine, Mamma Vi, and tell me if it will do?
14909Will you join my children in their half- hour with mamma in her dressing- room before breakfast? 14909 Wo n''t you please tell Grandma Elsie I''m sorry I was saucy and disobedient to her this morning?"
14909Would n''t? 14909 Would you have looked for me, Ned?"
14909Would you like me to stay with you, Max?
14909Would you like to begin now?
14909Would you like to go home and see it?
14909You are not afraid of me?
14909You are not sorry now that you and I are not to live alone?
14909You will come down to supper? 14909 You?
14909Zoe, Zoe, where are you?
14909Zoe, what mad prank is this? 14909 Ah, you''ve been smoking?
14909All three of his children turned toward her with eager, questioning looks, Max and Lulu asking,"Did n''t papa write to us, too?"
14909And I frightened you terribly down there at the door, did I not?"
14909And I like Grandpa Dinsmore, too, but-- don''t you think now he''s very strict and ready to punish a fellow for a mere trifle, Grandma Elsie?"
14909And do n''t you think it will help you to avoid wrongdoing?
14909And how would his dear honored father feel when the sad story should reach his ears?
14909And may I help you with them?"
14909And so we will, wo n''t we, dear?"
14909And then your room and grandpa''s?"
14909And there''s something else, is n''t there?"
14909And this Christmas day when he gave it to me?
14909And what else shall I read?
14909And whatever you are you belong to me, do n''t you?"
14909And why could n''t I have gone with him this time?"
14909And yet-- oh, how could she ever endure constant absence from him?
14909And you, too, Max?
14909And-- O Grandma Elsie, do you think it will break my father''s heart when he hears it all?"
14909And-- have you not a message for grandpa also?"
14909Are n''t you glad, Ned?"
14909Are n''t you sorry?"
14909Are you not sometimes very much ashamed of me?"
14909Are you ready to give the promise I require?"
14909Are you very tired, little Gracie?"
14909Besides, who could fail to enjoy a drive with the kind, sweet lady some of them called mamma, others Grandma Elsie?
14909But do tell me, did grandpa punish you very severely when you were naughty?"
14909But how about all the others?
14909But how large was this sum of money that you expected to last as long as you needed any?"
14909But may I know why you wo n''t let me read such stories?"
14909But nobody is ever put to death for swearing nowadays?"
14909But suppose you were my father and I a boy of your age, and that I had been swearing, what would you think you ought to do about it?"
14909But that''s not all?"
14909But was he very angry, Lu?"
14909But what was wrong with him to- night?"
14909But what''s the matter?"
14909But who sent it?"
14909But why ca n''t you open the door?
14909But why did you ask Miss Deane?
14909But why that sigh, love?"
14909But you do n''t think I would want to deprive you of any innocent pleasure, Max?"
14909Ca n''t he love us and the new baby too?
14909Ca n''t you imagine that I may prefer to talk to Mm for a little rather than to any one else, even if only with pen, ink and paper?"
14909Ca n''t you sing and play for me before they are down in the morning?"
14909Could her own mother have been kinder than Grandma Elsie?
14909Did I love Max less when you came?
14909Did he know that this was a punishment ten times worse?
14909Did you come to take us home?"
14909Do n''t you like to have plenty of patients?"
14909Do n''t you think he resembles the captain in looks?"
14909Do n''t you want the pleasure of telling Max, and taking this to him?"
14909Do n''t you, papa?"
14909Do you know what made him do that, mamma?"
14909Do you know who I am?"
14909Do you make the promise?"
14909Do you mean to break your poor father''s heart and some day bring down his gray hairs with sorrow to the grave?
14909Do you read it often, Max?"
14909Do you remember how you slipped away to your bed without bidding your papa good- night, and cried yourself to sleep?"
14909Do you remember it, papa?
14909Do you remember it, papa?"
14909Do you set off again this morning, Ned?"
14909Do you think God will ever forgive me?"
14909Do you think they''ll forgive me, Mamma Vi, and try me again?"
14909Elsie said, putting her arms around her,"why should you grieve so?
14909Grandma Elsie, what shall I do?"
14909Have n''t we had a nice time, Max?
14909Have n''t you some pity for the little girl, when you reflect that she is motherless?"
14909Have you been attentive to your studies, respectful and obedient to those in charge of you?
14909Have you been to breakfast?"
14909Have you no kiss of welcome for him, little woman?"
14909Have you tried to do your duty toward God and man?''
14909He did not come, but at length Rosie looked in to say,"Wo n''t you come down to the music- room, Zoe?
14909He obeyed, asking,"What have you been doing to- day?"
14909He will hardly be able to go home to- day, Arthur?"
14909How could I ever do without papa, who always petted me so, if I had n''t you?"
14909How could she, so young and full of life and health, be unhappy in so beautiful a world?
14909How is Vi?"
14909How is it, do you think, little wife?"
14909How many will accept?"
14909How would you like, Max, to have a cancer on your lip?"
14909I had a letter to write, then some ladies called, and then----""Well?"
14909I hope she is not going to be ill.""Is Zoe not coming down?"
14909I hope you paid it proper attention-- did not treat it with neglect?"
14909I wonder if he does n''t mean to let me have any supper?
14909I''ll just go on, for what''s the difference, anyhow?
14909I''ll wait for you in the parlor,"said Zoe,"Lulu, would you like to go, too?"
14909In the mean while, will it please you to call me Uncle Horace?"
14909Is it not kind in him to be willing to bear that pain for the sake of doing you good?"
14909Is n''t it time, seeing I have been a married man for nearly five months?
14909Is she sick?"
14909Let the poor boy alone, ca n''t you?"
14909Mamma''s baby?"
14909Max and Lulu, would you like to bring your writing- desks in here, and let me give you any help you may need?"
14909Max obeyed, but looking back from the doorway, asked,"Shall I send one of the servants to turn out the hen and carry away the pup?"
14909Max telling of himself, Lulu of herself, just as they would if sitting on my knee and answering the questions,''What have you been busy about to- day?
14909Max watched him while he read, then asked, a little tremulously,"Must you go very soon, papa?"
14909Max''s and Grade''s and mine?
14909Max, do you ever say such words?"
14909May I always?"
14909May I come in?"
14909May I repeat your words to grandpa as a message from you?"
14909My son, have you asked God to forgive you for taking His holy name in vain?"
14909O papa, what made you do that?"
14909Oh, could there be forgiveness for him?
14909Papa, papa, why did you die and leave your darling all alone in this cold world?"
14909Seating himself he took what Max had brought, and glancing hastily over it,"How much of this trash have you read, Max?"
14909Shall we kneel down now and ask Him to save you from yours?"
14909Shall we kneel down now and ask Him?"
14909She had not mentioned her own letter, but at length Edward, noting the brightness of her countenance, asked,"Good news from the captain, Vi?"
14909She looked up, and seeing his rather pale, sad face at the window, drew nearer and called softly to him,"Max, how are you?
14909Should she try that course, or the more straightforward one of not attempting any concealment?
14909Tell me now, do n''t you admire him?
14909The boy was hanging his head and his face had suddenly grown scarlet,"Papa, I-- I-- Did you get my letter and diary I sent you last month?"
14909The child''s eyes flew open and with a sweet engaging smile, she asked,"Have you been lying beside me all night, mamma?"
14909Then after a moment''s silent exchange of caresses,"Would you mind telling me where you were going and what you intended to do?"
14909Then more seriously,"Are you quite well, love?"
14909Violet asked half entreatingly,"and a welcome for your little sister?"
14909Violet asked with an amused smile;"and what did he say?"
14909Walter, especially?"
14909Walter, hardly waiting until the necessary introductions were over, burst out eagerly,"Zoe, do you know where that pup is?"
14909Was he doing this instead of carrying out his half threat of locking her up?
14909Was n''t it splendid in papa to give me this watch?"
14909We will say Tuesday morning next, if that will suit you, love?"
14909Were not all places alike away from the one she so dearly loved?
14909What can have brought you here at this hour of the night?"
14909What did you do?
14909What did you marry me for if you considered me such a child?"
14909What do you say to offering yourself as a pupil to grandpa?"
14909What does Arthur say about her?"
14909What does Vi think of it, mamma?"
14909What for you s''pose she done do dat?"
14909What have you got there, Max?"
14909What shall I say when he asks me for it?"
14909What will Mamma Vi and the rest say?
14909What will you do with yourself this morning, dear, while I am busy with the children in the school- room?"
14909What would he do and say to her?
14909What would you have done if he had?"
14909Where and how was he going to spend that week or ten days?
14909Where did you get this, Lulu?"
14909Where have you been?"
14909Why do n''t you say at once that you''ll beat me if I do n''t obey all your tyrannical orders?"
14909Why had you any more right to laugh and talk with another woman than I with another man?"
14909Why have you not learned it?"
14909Why not?"
14909Will not you?"
14909Will that do, Mamma Vi?"
14909Will you all think very often of papa and follow him with your prayers when he is far away on the sea?"
14909Will you come up with me now and take a look at her?
14909Will you?"
14909Wo n''t you tell me what troubles you?"
14909Would he ever, ever love and be kind to her again?
14909Would you like mamma to stay with you, darling?"
14909Would you not enjoy that?"
14909Would you?"
14909You have had a long sleep, dear; do you feel quite rested?"
14909You never told him not to buy or read such things, did you?"
14909You will let me have some story- books, wo n''t you?"
14909a gambler and profane swearer?
14909a good deal, is n''t it, Max?"
14909am I, really?"
14909and Rosie,"Where from?"
14909and ca n''t mamma?"
14909and do you love me yet?"
14909and that it will go on as long as people continue to buy and wear them?"
14909and the children?
14909are they all well?"
14909are they for us?"
14909are you locked in?"
14909are you sorry for your misconduct?"
14909are you too pious?"
14909are you-- are you going to punish me for being so naughty this evening?"
14909as tall and finely developed?"
14909asked little Walter, pricking up his ears, while Violet asked with an amused look,"Have you been making an investment in livestock, Max?"
14909can a fellow get over it without taking any medicine?"
14909cried Lulu, her eyes flashing,"how can you talk so?
14909did he do something wrong, too?"
14909did you ever see anything half so dear and sweet?"
14909did you not hear the supper bell?"
14909do n''t you think him worthy of all honor?"
14909does n''t the Bible say Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord?"
14909exclaimed her brother,"do you think papa grudges the money he spends on you, or any of us?"
14909go over to grandpa?"
14909hae we all been sleepin''a week or ten days?"
14909have you done anything you ought to be punished for?"
14909he asked;"sick, Max?
14909he burst out,"can you say that to such a wicked fellow as I am?"
14909he said in faltering accents,"have I really been so cruel that you despair of my love?
14909how is she?
14909is he older than Max?"
14909laughed the lady addressed;"ca n''t you see a resemblance?"
14909or ever lie down to sleep at night unreconciled, if there has been the slightest misunderstanding or coldness between us?"
14909or that she had spent hours of patient practice at the piano in learning the song she was given no opportunity to play and sing?
14909or was it something you did n''t do?"
14909or you less when our Heavenly Father gave Gracie to us?
14909say as often as Max Raymond has?"
14909shall I get ready at once?"
14909she cried, throwing her arms about his neck and hugging him tightly, while he kissed her again and again with ardent affection,"oh, have you come?
14909she cried,"are you here?
14909she said, just ready to cry,"how can you say such things?
14909snapped Lulu,"what is there to be glad about?
14909sometimes, then?"
14909that she will ever kiss me again?"
14909the lassie''s no there, eh?"
14909the remembrance that it must be confessed to your dear father and will grieve him very much?
14909the tone in which she replied when he spoke to her?"
14909this plump, rosy little darling?"
14909to resist temptation?
14909was the simultaneous exclamation from all five, Max adding,"What sort?"
14909what was that?"
14909whispered Lulu,"has papa got his orders?"
14909why not?"
14909will He send me to that dreadful place?"
14909will you hear them, too, before breakfast?"
14909will you tell him the whole truth like a brave boy?"
14909would it indeed break his heart as Grandpa Dinsmore had said?
14909you will not think it necessary to stay with her yourself?"
14488About what?
14488Ah, well would n''t you as soon have them as presents from your own papa?
14488Altogether, good news, is n''t it?
14488And I?
14488And Lulu, giving the tender, toddling thing a savage kick, caused the dreadful catastrophe?
14488And are n''t you glad?
14488And ca n''t I go to- night, papa?
14488And it is really for sale?
14488And it was bad news? 14488 And leave Max and Gracie?"
14488And mean to be a kind master to him, I trust?
14488And show it to you, papa?
14488And that fear has tormented you all the time?
14488And to keep carriage and riding horses?
14488And we''re to be''lowed to go there to stay in two weeks, are n''t we? 14488 And what do you call me, my Violet?"
14488And wo n''t you have to punish me for that, and for getting the book spoiled?
14488And you do hope Ned will soon be well?
14488And you do love me, your foolish, faulty little wife?
14488And you, Ned, are quite yourself again, I should say, from appearances?
14488And you, love,--have you been sitting there all this time?
14488Are they so reduced?
14488Are you dreadfully frightened, Maxie? 14488 Are you in pain, daughter?"
14488Are you in pain?
14488Besides,he went on,"do n''t you wish to consult_ my_ taste too?
14488Bought what?
14488But do n''t you think gentlemen are more apt to be pleased with her than ladies?
14488But do n''t you think, Ned, it was rather hard to insist on her going back to that ill- tempered, abusive old music- teacher?
14488But does n''t she want me sent away to school or somewhere?
14488But how am I to make myself believe?
14488But how shall I come?
14488But is it a pleasant room?
14488But let me stay at home to- morrow, wo n''t you?
14488But may n''t I talk to him at all?
14488But not for Max''s and mine, will it, papa?
14488But suppose we ca n''t catch the writer''s meaning?
14488But what is it you do desire?
14488But what, my child?
14488But who left it lying there?
14488But wo n''t you please tell me just how much you think he is hurt?
14488But you are glad of a holiday once in a while, nevertheless?
14488But you are not going to leave us,--especially not in this storm?
14488But you are not sure? 14488 But you do n''t think there''s any danger?"
14488But you have heard about it from those who did see it?
14488But you will help me with that?
14488But, papa, who is to teach me how to take care of my rooms? 14488 But, papa, you said-- you told mamma just now-- that you had already punished her very severely; and must you keep on?"
14488But, papa,she exclaimed, with a look as if struck by a sudden and not very pleasant thought,"may I-- will you be vexed if I ask you something?"
14488But, papa,she said, bringing the book and slate as directed,"wo n''t you please let me skip these vulgar fractions?"
14488But,said Lulu, still examining it critically,"how can you turn it into money?"
14488But-- is any thing wrong? 14488 But-- you often give me some pocket- money, and-- won''t you please keep all you would give me till it counts up enough to pay for the book?"
14488Ca n''t I ride in the ambulance beside him?
14488Ca n''t you take her and Max and Gracie to- morrow, and again on Monday? 14488 Can I help you with your dressing?
14488Can we afford a big house, and handsome furniture, papa?
14488Can you keep a secret?
14488Can you spare me a moment?
14488Captain, I will go there directly from here: will you drive over with me, and take a look at the place?
14488Could n''t we rent a house to live in while we get our own built?
14488Cousin Arthur, do you think I am needed in your patient''s room?
14488Darling, are you not equally good and loving to me?
14488Did n''t you want to go?
14488Did you hear any thing in particular about Lulu?
14488Did you hire it for me?
14488Did you-- either of you-- see her fall?
14488Do n''t you have to punish me for it?
14488Do n''t you see it is only some men who have been out hunting, and are going home with their game?
14488Do n''t you want to take a ride with me after breakfast, Lu?
14488Do you hear that?
14488Do you mean, sir, that we are to repeat the answers in the book, word for word?
14488Do you not?
14488Do you want to go, too, Gracie?
14488Do you?
14488Eva,said Max,"have you heard about Woodburn?"
14488Had you no supper?
14488Have n''t I?
14488Have the folks come, papa?
14488Have they sent for his mother?
14488Have you never seen Woodburn, captain?
14488How are they all at Viamede?
14488How did it happen?
14488How did you leave them all at Viamede?
14488How do you come to me, love, when you feel that you have displeased me, and want to be reconciled?
14488How do you do, my dear Mrs. Travilla? 14488 How do you know Rosie does n''t want to ride?"
14488How have mamma and Vi stood the anxiety and nursing?
14488How is Fairview looking?
14488How is baby now? 14488 How large is the estate, doctor?"
14488How many are coming, papa? 14488 How much, papa?"
14488How soon do you think that will be?
14488I did n''t suppose papa had been told about it?
14488I heard you were not well yesterday, Lulu: I hope you feel quite so this morning?
14488I hope you did not neglect to kneel down and ask forgiveness of God?
14488I hope you feel ready to do justice to your meal?
14488I may, may n''t I?
14488I mean to, papa; and you will watch me, and warn me when you see that I am forgetting?
14488I mean, what does he say is to be done with me?
14488I mean, you like it; and so it''s never hard for you as it is for me?
14488I suppose my right hand is not all of me that you lay claim to?
14488I suppose you mean that I am to go too, papa?
14488I was very sorry to hear of it all,he said gravely:"but what about it?"
14488I''d like to go, papa,she said;"but"--"But what?"
14488If Arthur should, would n''t it be a trial to Miss Deane to have to dine in her own room?
14488In about two weeks, probably: can you stand having to wait for that length of time?
14488In both morals and art?
14488In spite of the coin being such as you have a right to help yourself to whenever you will?
14488In that case, is it not kinder for me to keep away from her?
14488In what can I be of service to you?
14488Is Miss Deane''s accident a very bad one?
14488Is it only you, Gracie?
14488Is it to be more than one room for me, papa?
14488Is it, then, that you doubt my affection for you?
14488Is mamma Vi glad?
14488Is n''t it, Maxie?
14488Is not this mine?
14488Is she willing to have me in the new home, papa?
14488Is she? 14488 Is that an order?"
14488Is that quite heartless in me?
14488Is there any change, doctor?
14488It was n''t here before, papa, was it?
14488It would have been more polite and unselfish, would n''t it?
14488Just now, papa?
14488Let me see that, wo n''t you, Maxie?
14488Lu,she said presently,"I know you are not to be sent away; but where are you to go to school?"
14488Mamma Vi, do you know?
14488Mamma Vi, do you think papa will consent?
14488Max, what do you say to a promenade on the veranda with your father?
14488Max, you have n''t learned to smoke? 14488 Maxie, would you be sorry to have me sent away?"
14488May I go to him at once?
14488May I take her, papa?
14488May I talk a little to you, papa?
14488May I talk now, papa?
14488Maybe so,he said soothingly;"but we will leave the disagreeable subject for to- night at least, shall we not?"
14488Must I stay in my room all the time?
14488Must you go back to your ship soon?
14488My dear, what has happened? 14488 My dear,"to Violet,"will you please come too?"
14488My love, my life,he said in low tones, tremulous with feeling,"what if I should tell you that your wish is already accomplished?"
14488Ned, do you know our tormentor is gone?
14488No: did I not tell you, you were no longer a prisoner?
14488No: did n''t I tell you just now that all accounts were settled up to the other night?
14488No; what about it?
14488Not if, by waiting, we should, in the end, have a much nicer, pleasanter one?
14488Not me, papa?
14488Now, have we seen positively every thing?
14488Now, sir, what next?
14488Of course I have,she answered gayly:"did you think I would break my word, or feel any desire to go away and leave you?"
14488Only for that reason?
14488Papa is growing old,she thought:"are there gray hairs in his head, I wonder?"
14488Papa, are n''t you very tired, carrying such a big, heavy girl?
14488Papa, are you going to buy it?
14488Papa, ca n''t I have a piece of bread?
14488Papa, do you require me to keep along- side of the carriage?
14488Papa, does Lulu know your good news?
14488Papa, may n''t we drive to the city in the new carriage?
14488Papa, when will you begin to look for the new home?
14488Papa, where is the schoolroom? 14488 Papa, which is my desk?"
14488Papa, who is to tell us what to wear,--you, or mamma Vi?
14488Papa, why ca n''t I go?
14488Papa, why do they call it Woodburn? 14488 Papa, would you have made me go back to that horrid man after he struck me?"
14488Papa, you always want to do right, do n''t you?
14488Papa, you do n''t mean to say that that is it?
14488Papa, you wo n''t send me away-- very-- soon, will you?
14488Papa,he said,"wo n''t you let Lu take a walk with me?
14488Papa,queried Grace, with a little bashful hesitation,"may n''t I have you for my friend too?"
14488Papa,she asked eagerly, as soon as they were fairly on their homeward way,"have you bought it?"
14488Papa,she asked, lifting her tearful eyes to his face with a pleading look,"have you seen Lulu yet?"
14488Papa,she asked,"what am I to do with myself to- day?"
14488Papa,she cried, lifting her head to look up into his face, with glad, astonished eyes,"do you really mean it?
14488Papa,she said pleadingly, when he came in to bid her good- night,"may n''t I stay at home to- morrow?"
14488Papa,they said, coming hastily forward,"may we go in to see Lulu now?"
14488Pleasantly suggestive pictures among other things?
14488Rather late, is n''t it?
14488Really, would you believe it? 14488 Shall I get into bed, papa?"
14488Shall I have some pictures on my walls, papa?
14488Shall I help you change your dress?
14488Shall we go down now?
14488Shall you like that?
14488She''s pow''ful cross,repeated Aunt Phillis:"she done gone call dis chile up time an''again fru de night; an''when I ax her,''Whar yo''misery at?''
14488Should you like it, papa''s dear pet?
14488So I was, papa; but you did n''t intend me to sleep all the afternoon, did you?
14488So mine''s the most this time, is n''t it?
14488Stay at home from church? 14488 Such as brushing your hair, and tying your cravat?
14488Suppose I lend you Ella for a few days? 14488 Suppose we say Monday?
14488Suppose we sign a truce until to- morrow?
14488Suppose you find out by asking?
14488Take this easy- chair, wo n''t you?
14488Tell us about your nursery, Vi,said her mother:"where is it to be?"
14488Then what will you do?
14488Then you will obey about the air and exercise?
14488Then, are we going to have two suppers?
14488Then, is it ours?
14488Then, was it not extremely foolish, as well as wrong, to want to break it just because of your want of success with your ciphering?
14488Tired of housekeeping, little woman?
14488To Woodburn, papa?
14488To a boarding- school?
14488Was Lulu at home at the time?
14488Was Lulu there?
14488Was her misconduct killing her father?
14488Was it the fault of the slate that you had such difficulty with your examples?
14488We are going to have a house- warming this evening, Gracie,said her father:"do you know what that is?"
14488We are just as happy as we can be, papa,she said;"only I"--"Well?"
14488We hope, cousin Vi, that Max and his sisters may come?
14488Well, Vi, how would Woodburn answer, so far as you are concerned?
14488Well, have you had a good time, and bought great quantities of pretty things?
14488Well, my boy, what is it? 14488 Well, what if we do?
14488Well,he said with a smile,"what is it?"
14488What about me, papa?
14488What can I do for you, dear? 14488 What de mattah, Aunt Rhoda?"
14488What do you mean? 14488 What do you say to it, my dear?"
14488What do you think? 14488 What for?"
14488What has come over her?
14488What has my little girl been thinking of sitting here all by herself?
14488What is it, daughter?
14488What is it?
14488What is it?
14488What is it?
14488What is the distance?
14488What is the matter, Lulu, dear?
14488What is the matter, children?
14488What is the matter, daughter?
14488What is the matter?
14488What is this dreadful thing that has happened? 14488 What kind of people are they, papa?"
14488What terrible punishment would he inflict? 14488 What things?
14488What was it that sent her down the steps?
14488What was it?
14488What would his anger be like?
14488What''s the matter, sis?
14488What''s the matter? 14488 What, papa?"
14488What, then, is the trouble? 14488 What,--the money?
14488When can we move in, papa?
14488When will you get it, Max?
14488Where am I? 14488 Where are the others?
14488Where are we going?
14488Where is every one? 14488 Where is our dear home to be?"
14488Where is she?
14488Where is your mistress?
14488Where is your purse?
14488Where was the baby when she fell? 14488 Which of them saw it?"
14488Who are they?
14488Who is that has been so polite and complimentary to you, Aunt Phillis?
14488Who of us does? 14488 Who says you are to go away?"
14488Who, papa?
14488Why do n''t you say at once that you are ashamed of me?
14488Why not?
14488Why, Uncle Ben, dar-- dar''s been a accident to de kyars, dey say, an''dey''s all broke up, and de folks roun''here is all--"Where?
14488Why, papa, am I not to be allowed to choose the things for my own rooms?
14488Why, papa, how could I, when you are so good to me, and often tell me that you love me dearly?
14488Why, what do you mean?
14488Will it be near enough to Ion?
14488Will she get over it, do you think?
14488Will you order the carriage, and take a drive in my company?
14488Will you step into the parlor? 14488 With Lulu too?"
14488Wo n''t they come in?
14488Wo n''t you take off that very becoming hat and cloak, Mrs. Travilla, and spend the evening?
14488Would breaking the slate have helped you?
14488Would n''t it be strange if I were not happy in knowing that my husband is not seriously hurt? 14488 Would n''t it be well for you to advise her never to set foot on that dangerous veranda again?"
14488Would n''t you like to have one?
14488Would she be able to tell me all about it, do you think?
14488Would that be any thing new in his experience?
14488Would there be any thing in papa''s letter to prevent the carrying out of the cherished plans?
14488Would you advise me to do likewise, and for the same reason, lady mine?
14488Would you children all like to take a drive with me this afternoon?
14488Would you have had me play the hypocrite, Ned?
14488Yes, I have always heard it was a hopeful sign, if not an agreeable one,Ella remarked,"Was that the breakfast- bell I heard just now?"
14488Yes, papa, I know; I did ask him; and wo n''t you forgive me too?
14488Yes, sir: may I see Evelyn when she comes?
14488Yes,he said, holding out his hand to her with a fatherly smile:"and you, I suppose, are my Lulu''s little friend, Evelyn Leland?"
14488Yes,said Zoe, with a not very successful effort to smile through her tears:"who would n''t be, in my place?
14488Yes: can you get all your possessions packed up by that time?
14488You are not displeased with me, dear?
14488You are not well, perhaps not able to walk?
14488You are pleased with your pony, Max?
14488You do n''t care a bit,_ do_ you?
14488You feel yourself heavy laden with that unconquerable temper, do you not?
14488You had seen your father smoke, and naturally thought you might follow his example?
14488You have n''t quit loving her, papa? 14488 You prefer to go alone, do you?"
14488You understand why I sent you to bed? 14488 You want me to relent, and let you stay on here if they will have you?"
14488You were running away?
14488You''ll come as soon as lessons are over at Ion, wo n''t you?
14488Zoe,he said,"ca n''t you go to Miss Deane?"
14488_ Where_ were you going?
14488have n''t you heard that Lulu says she thought it was your dog she was kicking at? 14488 ( surely no one could be more deserving of such remembrance) or an increase of pay? 14488 Am I to have nothing to do?
14488And how are you, Mrs. Travilla?
14488And since you are exactly the age to suit me, why should you care a fig for her sneers?"
14488And what would be done to her?
14488And you?
14488Are n''t we, Lu and Gracie?"
14488Are n''t you happy, Lu?"
14488Are we all to go in the carriage, papa?"
14488Are you going to keep me shut up in this room all the time?"
14488At Ion, as the summer heats approached, the question was mooted,"Where shall we spend the next two or three months?"
14488At that moment there came a little tap at the door; and the sweetest of voices asked,"Shall I come in?"
14488Besides,"glancing from the window,"do you see?
14488But I ought to ask if you are willing to see her there in her accustomed seat?"
14488But Violet bent down and kissed her affectionately, saying in a kindly tone,"I hope you are feeling better than you did yesterday?"
14488But are we to consider ourselves forbidden to speak at all to each other while you are gone?"
14488But at that instant a quick, boyish step sounded in the hall without; and Max''s voice at the door asked,"Mamma Vi, may I come in?"
14488But was she to be allowed to stay there?
14488But was the baby really dying?
14488But what is the use of punishing you?
14488But what were you going to say about driving over there?"
14488But you will help me to conquer it, papa?"
14488But-- then, how can you do without your pay, papa?"
14488CHAPTER V."Is there no constancy in earthly things?
14488Can you eat some supper?"
14488Can you not trust her to me, with the doctor sharing my vigil?"
14488Can you tell me how your baby sister came to get so sad a fall?"
14488Can you tell me?"
14488Can you, will you, forgive me, dear Ned?"
14488Cayn''t yo''hab nuff sense to change de dressin''?''"
14488Come, will you go with me?"
14488Did he give it to you?"
14488Did n''t you hear Arthur say so?"
14488Did you obey me about going immediately to bed?"
14488Do n''t the grounds look lovely, even after Viamede?"
14488Do n''t you think that is the wiser plan always?"
14488Do n''t you?"
14488Do you know any thing about housework,--sweeping, dusting, and keeping things neat and tidy?"
14488Do you like it?"
14488Do you not think I was right?"
14488Do you think I-- I''m a curse to you now?"
14488Do you think he will?"
14488Does everybody consent?"
14488Grace:"And may n''t she know now that we''re going to keep you always at home?"
14488Grandma Elsie, if you had such a dreadful temper as mine, would n''t you be discouraged about ever conquering it?"
14488Had he had a legacy from some lately deceased relative or friend?
14488Has any thing happened?"
14488Have I been too ready to reprove her of late?
14488Have you any choice?"
14488Have you seen him, Eva?"
14488He bent down and kissed the sweet, tremulous lips, his features working with emotion,"My wife, my dear love, what-- what is this?
14488He just looked in, saying,"Zoe, I am going to drive over to Roselands for Ella: will you go along?"
14488He offers it to you, love; and will you continue to reject it?"
14488How could I, knowing that you invariably make trouble between my husband and myself?"
14488How is he to tell that books are not meant for gnawing quite as much as bones?"
14488I hope you are glad to see me?"
14488I hope you slept well?
14488I never saw her do any such work; and-- would you want me taught by one of the servants?"
14488I s''pose you''ve''vited grandma Elsie and all the rest of the folks from Ion, and all the folks at Fairview?"
14488I trust you did not spend the night in crying over Ned''s absence?"
14488I wonder if the captain still intends to send her away?
14488I''ll have to stand it, of course; but what does a woman do who has no husband?"
14488I''m so sorry for Lulu,"she sobbed;"please, may n''t I go to her for a little while?"
14488If not worth my hearing, can it be worth mamma''s reading?"
14488If that were so, how could she ever look him, or anybody else, in the face again?
14488Instead of answering directly, the captain turned to his son, and asked,"Max, what do you think of this supper?"
14488Is Mr. Travilla killed?"
14488Is he in?"
14488Is it bad news?"
14488It''s good in them, is n''t it?"
14488Levis, am I to have no duties in this house?
14488Lose the love of her idolized husband?
14488Lulu cried, throwing her arm round her young step- mother''s neck, and bursting into tears,"is baby still getting better?
14488Max and Lulu, shall we give your little sister the first choice, as she is the youngest?"
14488May I ask her to come in the afternoon?"
14488May n''t I stay in my room till you are ready to take me to our own home?"
14488May n''t we run over to Fairview, and bring Evelyn back with us?
14488My dear,"to Violet,"when will it suit you to accompany us?--to- morrow?"
14488No happiness in us, but what must alter?"
14488No one replied to his question; and gazing with close scrutiny at the child,"She has been hurt?"
14488Not mamma Vi, I suppose?
14488Now are you not happy?"
14488Now will you please to bring the desk?"
14488Now, do you wonder I''m delighted?"
14488Now, what else?"
14488Now,"releasing herself from his embrace,"it''s time to attend to business, is n''t it?
14488O Lu!--you are going along, I suppose?--what does papa say about-- about what you told him in your last letter?"
14488Papa, wo n''t you thank God for me?"
14488Presently she turned to her guest, saying courteously,"You must be weary with your journey, Miss Deane: would you like to retire?"
14488Raymond been heard from before you left?
14488Raymond?"
14488Rosie asking,"Whose is he?"
14488Shall I do that?"
14488Shall I go in to- morrow morning, and have a talk with her before breakfast?"
14488Shall I have the pleasure of my wife''s company in the carriage?
14488Shall I order the horses?"
14488Shall we ride after that?"
14488She did so, then, turning toward him with an arch smile, asked,"May I criticise?"
14488She ended with so profound a sigh, that Lulu turned a surprised, inquiring look upon her, asking,"Have you had any bad news, Eva?
14488She glanced wistfully up into his grave, stern face two or three times, then said humbly, pleadingly,"Papa, please may I put my hand in yours?"
14488She heard steps and voices, and,"Was that mamma Vi crying,--crying as if her heart would break?
14488She then told him of Evelyn''s wish, concluding With,"Wo n''t you, dear papa?
14488Suppose we ride over there immediately upon leaving the table, and carry the news ourselves?
14488That will be the tenth of the two dollars you''ve given me, wo n''t it, papa?"
14488That will be twelve dollars and fifty cents for each of us, wo n''t it?"
14488The gentlemen paused in their conversations and the captain asked,"What is it, my son?"
14488Then, a little anxiously, after a moment''s thought,"Am I to be sent away to school, sir?"
14488There was a sound of small, hurrying feet in the hall without, a tap at the door; and Max''s voice asked,"May we come in?"
14488There''s woods,--do they burn them sometimes?
14488They exchanged greetings, then Zoe asked half breathlessly,"Where''s Edward?"
14488Violet asked in gentle tones, as she drew near, and laid her soft white hand caressingly on the bowed head:"are you sorry to be at home again?"
14488Was n''t that the right way to say it?"
14488Wha''s de''casion ob dis mos''onusual state ob t''ings?"
14488What am I to do with you?
14488What are you doing out here in the public road alone, and in the darkness of evening?
14488What are you thinking of?"
14488What dress for me?"
14488What has happened?"
14488What have you been doing besides napping?"
14488What if she should tell me to go out of the house, she did n''t want such a bad girl there?"
14488What is it you want?"
14488What is wrong?"
14488What is yours now?"
14488What shall I do?
14488What shall we do with ourselves to- day, Zoe?
14488What would you like it to be, Gracie?"
14488What''s going on?
14488Whatever made you marry me?"
14488Where did he come from, Max?"
14488Where were you going?"
14488Why should you wish it?"
14488Why, Lu, what more could you ask?"
14488Will they do it, papa?
14488Will you compel me to cage or chain you up like a wild beast, lest you do some one a fatal injury?"
14488Will you excuse me a moment?"
14488Will you go with me, my dear?"
14488Will you redeem my promise?"
14488Will you walk in?"
14488Wo n''t you come soon in the morning?"
14488Would he ever love her again, especially if the baby should die?
14488Would n''t you, Agnes?"
14488Would papa never come to tell her the truth about it?
14488Would the baby die?
14488Would they come and take her( Lulu) to jail?
14488Would they try her for murder, and hang her?
14488Would you be satisfied with another new little girl''stead of me?"
14488Would you like to see Max and Gracie to- night?"
14488Would you not have your rooms pleasing to my eyes when I pay a visit to them, as I shall every day?"
14488You do n''t think, do you, that you could have a better-- more disinterested-- earthly friend than your father?"
14488You see, aunt Elsie, she talks of my joining her as soon as I am my own mistress; but how can I ever think of it now?"
14488_ May_ I go with you?"
14488and that she has been really sick with distress about the baby?
14488and we''ll have to be nice, nice children to fit the home, wo n''t we, Gracie?"
14488and why I refused to grant your request?"
14488and will you forgive me?
14488are you very busy?"
14488as the latter re- entered the room:"what is all this story about a railroad accident?
14488but your united ages are much less than Levis''s and mine; and husband and wife make but one, do n''t they?"
14488can it be true?"
14488can you tell me that?"
14488could he now, in the prime of life, forsake the service for which he had been educated, and to which he had already given many of his best years?
14488cried Max, in a perfectly good- humored tone,"what do you lock a fellow out for?
14488cried Zoe,"what can be the matter?"
14488does that satisfy your lordship?"
14488ever come to an end?"
14488exclaimed Zoe, examining the work:"and that''s a new stitch; wo n''t you teach it to me?"
14488gasped Zoe, sinking into a chair, her hands clasped beseechingly, her eyes wild with terror:"what, what has happened?"
14488has papa told you the good news?"
14488have you not slept?"
14488have you, bought it?"
14488he asked in surprise:"what do you fear?"
14488he asked with some surprise:"I hope you''re not sick?"
14488he asked, lifting her from the bed, seating himself, and drawing her into his arms:"what is your petition?
14488he asked,--"one from Lulu only, and that for but a few days?"
14488he asked:"did you not give it to me?--Let me see-- nearly two years ago?"
14488he said at length,"do you know what your terrible temper has wrought?--that in your mad passion you have nearly or quite killed your little sister?
14488how are you?
14488how can you talk so?"
14488how could you think so?
14488how could you?"
14488how could you?"
14488how did it come that you and Ned staid behind when all the rest went to Viamede for the winter?"
14488how is she?"
14488if I live, I must some day grow old and gray and wrinkled, my eyes dim and sunken: shall you love me then, darling?"
14488is it for sale?"
14488is it possible this can be you?
14488is it you?"
14488is n''t it nice to be alone together again?"
14488is n''t it nice?
14488is n''t it the very best sort of a society for husband and wife to form?
14488is n''t it, papa?"
14488is n''t papa kind?"
14488is she to come between us again, and make us quarrel, and be so dreadfully unhappy?"
14488is that all?"
14488is there something more to see?"
14488may I?"
14488none of the cares and labors that the mistress of an establishment is usually expected to assume?"
14488not to go on spending more than half our lives at a distance from each other?"
14488or tobacco in any shape?"
14488or would you prefer being shown to your room first?"
14488please, sir, may I go to Lulu?"
14488she exclaimed;"for, do you know, sir, she thinks there is nobody in the world to compare to her father?"
14488she sighed half aloud, as she opened her eyes, and glanced round the room,"what shall I do if he does n''t come to- day?
14488she sobbed,"are they coming to take me and put me in prison?
14488tell me: have you ever smoked a cigar?
14488that, even should she live, she may be a life- long sufferer, in consequence of your fiendish act?"
14488very afraid of your new teacher?"
14488was there any danger that she would be put in prison?
14488what ails our little one?"
14488what are those for?"
14488what shall I do if baby dies?
14488what shall I do?
14488what shall I do?"
14488what shall we do if she is taken from us?"
14488what-- what have you come to tell me?
14488when now would she be able to go home?"
14488where?"
14488who is the flatterer now?"
14488why, why do you look so at me?"
14488wo n''t you_ please_ let me go?
14488would n''t you like it?"
14488would this long day, this dreadful,_ dreadful_ waiting for--_what_?
14488you have come, my good girls?"
14488you wo n''t let them, will you?"
14488you wo n''t?"
14280Adelaide, do you not despise and hate me for my cruelty to that angel- child?
14280Adelaide, how is she?
14280And are not you, too?
14280And did n''t they suffer from hunger too, papa?
14280And he hates me, papa,she said, mournfully, the tears filling her eyes;"why should he feel so?
14280And may I talk, papa?
14280And now, does any one know that Elsie had vexed Arthur in any way, or that he had any unkind feelings toward her?
14280And now,he asked,"will you look at the other rooms, or are you too tired?"
14280And so they put upon you all the trouble of entertaining both your own company and theirs, eh? 14280 And what did you do it for?"
14280And why is he displeased with you, my dear? 14280 And why not, darling?
14280And will he send my papa hack to me I oh, will he come_ soon_? 14280 And will you do all that you said in that letter, papa?
14280And will you take me to see Miss Rose, papa?
14280And you are very happy now?
14280And you were very glad to find that papa was not here to make you sup upon bread and water, eh?
14280And you_ would n''t_ have let me have anything but bread, papa, would you?
14280And, Sophy, what will your mamma say? 14280 Are you going to stay at home, papa?"
14280Are you in much pain now, darling?
14280Are you not going to let_ me_ enjoy it, too?
14280Are you quite sure, doctor, that her spine has sustained no injury?
14280Are you really willing to part with your papa''s picture, Elsie, dear?
14280Ashamed of you, darling? 14280 At what hour will you have dinner, sir?"
14280Aunt Adelaide,said the little girl, looking earnestly at her,"do you know how much mamma was worth?
14280Aunt Adelaide,she asked quickly,"has there been any letter from papa since I have been sick?"
14280Aunt Adelaide,she murmured, in low, feeble tones,"I am too weak to hold a pen; will you write something for me?"
14280But are you quite sure that she really wanted to see it, and felt assured that she might do so without my knowledge?
14280But surely, he did not do it intentionally,said Mrs. Carrington,"for why should he wish to harm such a sweet, gentle little creature as Elsie?"
14280But tell me, dearest, was Jesus near to you in your troubles?
14280But what did Arthur do?
14280But what has that to do with Elsie''s fall?
14280But what''s de matter? 14280 But what?"
14280But why need your papa make you say lessons at all? 14280 But will you ask papa?
14280But you are comin''soon, darlin''?
14280But you are not going to leave us yourself, Horace?
14280But you are not going to punish me?
14280Can I see Lora now, papa?
14280Come in, doctor,he said,"it is very kind in you, and--""Mr. Dinsmore,"said the doctor, interrupting him,"are you prepared for good news?
14280Come, Elsie, are n''t you going to get in, too?
14280Dear papa, I do so want to see Miss Rose''s letter; wo n''t you please give it to me?
14280Dear papa, are you sick?
14280Dear papa,she said, stretching out her little hand to him,"I am afraid I have said things to you that I ought not; are you angry with me?"
14280Did I give that reason?
14280Did de good Lord Jesus die for poor ole Dinah, Miss Elsie?
14280Did he say when he would sail for America, Aunt Adelaide?
14280Did my little daughter think papa had quite forgotten his promise?
14280Did you ever see such a perfectly conscientious child?
14280Did you hear me, Elsie?
14280Did you not hear me say I forgave you?
14280Did you really, Elsie?
14280Did you? 14280 Do n''t let her come until afternoon, father?
14280Do you feel equal to a walk through your rooms, daughter, or shall I carry you?
14280Do you love me, my own papa?
14280Do you notice, doctor,she asked, stopping before him,"how she watches the opening of the door, and starts and trembles at every sound?
14280Do you see that beautiful, tall tree that casts such a thick shade? 14280 Do you think you are strong enough to see him?"
14280Do you wish me to go, papa?
14280Do you wish me to tell you precisely what I think?
14280Doctor, is there_ no_ hope?
14280Does any one know what Elsie had done?
14280Does he, papa? 14280 Does it please you, darling?
14280Does my little daughter love me?
14280Elsie, say''I am sorry, papa, that I refused to obey you on that Sabbath- day; will you please to forgive me? 14280 Elsie,"he said, as he took her hand and drew her in between his knees,"why do you always start and change color when I speak to you?
14280Elsie,said her father, opening the door and putting in his head,"why are you not in bed, my daughter?
14280Excuse me, Mr. Dinsmore, but are you not eating them yourself?
14280Has it come to this, that I must choose between my father and my Saviour? 14280 Has my little daughter any idea how long it is since her father bade her put up her book?"
14280Has my papa come?
14280Has you forgotten how it says in de good book,''Lo, I am with you_ always_, even unto the end of the world''? 14280 Have the others come, grandpa?"
14280Have you arranged your plans in regard to what places you will visit and in what order you will take them?
14280Have you, papa? 14280 How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?"
14280How did she come to fall?
14280How did you happen to fall, my dear?
14280How early do you think Miss Rose will come, papa?
14280How old is it, Miss Rose? 14280 I am going to carry you off to the nursery, Elsie, to see the little ones,"she said, taking her young visitor''s hand;"should you like to see them?"
14280I am not quite ready yet, papa,she said, looking up as he entered;"is n''t it a little before the time?"
14280I came upon you unawares, not knowing you were here; but now that we have met, will you not tell me the cause of your grief? 14280 I do n''t know how; but Elsie, you can teach me, ca n''t you?"
14280I have written all that, Elsie; is there anything more?
14280I said so, did I not?
14280I see it is past school- hours,he said;"might I see my little friend?
14280I think you prayed for me as well as for Arthur,he remarked when she had done;"what did you request for me?"
14280I think,said he, after a moment''s pause,"that I know something of your trouble; you have offended your father; is it not so, my dear?"
14280I thought you were in Scotland, Mrs. Murray; when did you come back?
14280I will try, papa; but must I never play in the brook any more? 14280 I wish he would come in for a few minutes to see me, and say good- bye; do you think he will, papa?"
14280If I should ask you to give me something of yours, would you be willing to do it?
14280Is Elsie well? 14280 Is he angry with me?"
14280Is it anything contagious?
14280Is it good news, papa?
14280Is it my papa?
14280Is it not a nice letter, papa?
14280Is it so very hard to give up jack- stones?
14280Is it true that Arthur had a hand in it?
14280Is that it, my poor child?
14280Is that it?
14280Is that one of your sisters, my dear?
14280Is there any hope, doctor?
14280It is such a sweet, sweet Sabbath- day, papa,she said,"is it not?
14280Let me see-- Miss Allison left, when? 14280 Lucy, my child, what_ are_ you talking about?"
14280May I bring some cool water and bathe your head?
14280May I take the baby, Miss Rose?
14280May I talk a little more now, papa?
14280May n''t I talk at all, after I go to bed, papa?
14280May we come back this afternoon, Elsie? 14280 Miss Carrie Howard, I have noticed that you and Elsie are usually together; can you tell me if she could have fallen of herself?
14280Mr. and Mrs. Travilla,she said, turning to her brother;"is Elsie able to see them?"
14280My darling, do you not know me?
14280My dear little girl, what is the matter?
14280My precious one,he murmured in a low, moved tone, as he gently lifted her in his arms;"are you much hurt?
14280No, John,she answered faintly, leaning against the wall for support;"but where is papa going?"
14280No, mamma, it was n''t her fault at all,said Sophy, eagerly,"and so she need n''t have just bread, need she?"
14280No, you will not? 14280 Now, mamma,"concluded Herbert,"what ought I to do?
14280Oh, Aunt Adelaide, do you think he will_ ever_ come home? 14280 Oh, Aunt Adelaide,"cried the child in a hoarse whisper, catching her by the dress,"dear Aunt Adelaide,_ do_ tell me, is papa worse?"
14280Oh, Mrs. Travilla,she whispered,"do you think she will die?"
14280Oh, are n''t you glad? 14280 Oh, have they, mammy?
14280Oh, it is your home? 14280 Oh, mammy, will he ever smile on me again?
14280Oh, papa,she sobbed,"when will you come back?"
14280Oh, yes, Aunt Adelaide; is he here?
14280Oh? 14280 Once more, Elsie, I ask you,"he said,"will you obey?"
14280Papa, may n''t I sit on your knee?
14280Papa,said Elsie,"wo n''t you please go over the story?"
14280Papa,she said in a doubtful, hesitating way,"it seems as if I had seen you before; have I, papa?"
14280Papa,she said, when they had returned to their seats by the study fire,"may I give mammy a nice present this Christmas?"
14280Shall I take you to Independence Hall to- day?
14280Shall we read together, as you and Miss Rose used to do long ago?
14280Shall we send for Horace? 14280 She is n''t at all polite to visitors, is she, Flora?"
14280Should you like it so much?
14280Take me on your knee again, if you please, papa,she said,"and then will you read a little to me?
14280Thank you, papa,she said, gratefully, then whispered,"Wo n''t you stay with me till tea- time, if you are not busy?"
14280Thank you,he said,"but why are you so anxious that I should love him?
14280That I shall, you may rest assured, sir; but tell me doctor, do you think her ankle very seriously injured?
14280The time is up, Elsie,he said;"are you ready to obey me?"
14280Then did all who had not already been killed get away from the British, papa?
14280There, darling, is that better?
14280Was it because you were afraid I was going to die, papa?
14280Was n''t it in the winter they were here, papa?
14280Was she insensible?
14280Was she much hurt?
14280We have had a very pleasant day, papa, have n''t we?
14280We need n''t sit on the floor, need we? 14280 Well, Elsie, what do you want?"
14280Well, I believe we have seen all the sights in this city of Brotherly Love, so what shall we do with ourselves to- day?
14280Well, daughter, I am ready to listen,he answered pleasantly;"what is it?"
14280Well, have you anything to say for yourself before I send you back to your room?
14280Well, mamma, must I go just now, to tell him?
14280Well, my pet, what do you say to it? 14280 Well, take a seat, wo n''t you?"
14280Well, then, ca n''t you believe God when he says that he will save you? 14280 Well, then,"said he,"your aunt gave you a new Bible to- day, and as you do n''t need two, will you give the old one to me?"
14280Well, what is it?
14280Well, what shall we play?
14280Well,asked Adelaide, as the little girl paused in her narrative,"what do you mean by your story?
14280Well,he said,"what is it-- what do you want?"
14280Were n''t some of the British killed?
14280What ails her?
14280What ails you, Edward-- is anything wrong, my son?
14280What are you going to do now, Elsie?
14280What are you going to wear to Isabel Carleton''s party, to- night, Elsie?
14280What did he want with it when he had a room in Mr. Potts''house?
14280What do you say, Travilla, to a ride on horseback with the four young ladies you took charge of yesterday, and myself?
14280What do you think of this?
14280What do you want it for, Arthur?
14280What do you want, Arthur? 14280 What have I done?"
14280What is it, Herbert dear, what is it?
14280What is it, darling-- are you in pain?
14280What is it, dearest?
14280What is it, dearest?
14280What is it, mammy? 14280 What is it?"
14280What is my little one thinking of?
14280What is that, papa?
14280What is the matter now?
14280What is the matter, Elsie?
14280What is the matter? 14280 What is the matter?"
14280What shall the book be?
14280What shall we do?
14280What time is it?
14280What were you crying about? 14280 What''s de matter darlin''?"
14280What, papa?
14280When did you come? 14280 When did you find an opportunity to work these without letting me into the secret?"
14280Where, darling?
14280Which was my little daughter doubting this afternoon,he asked gently, as he laid her head against his breast;"papa''s wisdom or his love?"
14280Who else was near her?
14280Who was near her?
14280Who was nearest to Elsie when she fell?
14280Why am I not to have my little girl on my knee to- night?
14280Why could n''t Elsie stay always?
14280Why could n''t she live with them? 14280 Why did you not ask for it, then?"
14280Why did you not come at first, then?
14280Why did you select those particular passages?
14280Why not?
14280Why, Herbert, what can_ you_ know about it?
14280Why, darling?
14280Why, my poor darling, what is it?
14280Why, then, did you not put off your confession until after the ride?
14280Why, what ails her, Fanny?
14280Why, what is it, darling? 14280 Why, what is the matter, my dear?"
14280Why, what objection could he have? 14280 Why, what you talkin''''bout, Miss Elsie?
14280Why, what''s the matter?
14280Will you build houses?
14280Will you give me the money then?
14280Will you go, Elsie?
14280Will you play''O sister, O Phebe?''
14280Will you read and pray with me every morning, papa?
14280Wo n''t you come along, girls?
14280Would you like now to hear the remainder of the story we were reading yesterday, daughter?
14280Yes, Dinah; God says without money and without price; ca n''t you believe him? 14280 Yes, Miss Elsie; but ai n''t you gwine along?
14280Yes, Miss Rose, very near, and very precious; else how could I have borne it at all? 14280 Yes, papa, I hope so; and then you will take me to see Miss Rose, wo n''t you?"
14280You are not quite nine, and I am just about eighteen years older; can you make that out now?
14280You saw her, I suppose?
14280You will let me be your little nurse, my own dear papa, will you not?
14280_ Did_ you come, papa?
14280_ Give up_ to her, Travilla? 14280 _ I_ shall find it very hard to forgive him; can_ you_ do so?"
14280_ Why_ did you think I was in trouble, papa?
14280''The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
14280''Why no, Fanny,''I said,''what makes you think so?
14280And could Elsie thus minister consolation to another, and yet find no lessening of her own burden of sorrow?
14280And do you think he will love me?"
14280And shall I not tell her to send Jim or Jack for the doctor, papa?"
14280And where is poor little Elsie now?"
14280And you were very ill last summer, darling?
14280Are n''t you, Elsie?"
14280Are you angry with me yet?
14280Are you better now, dearest?"
14280Are you ill, darling?"
14280Are you in pain?"
14280Arthur, has it really come to this?
14280Arthur, you''ve been gambling; how_ could_ you do so?"
14280At length he opened his eyes, and smiling fondly on her, asked:"Does not my little girl want some play this afternoon?
14280Aunt Dinah, is not that beautiful?
14280But can it be?
14280But he''s very strict, is n''t he, Elsie?
14280But stay,"he added as she was turning to go,"you have been crying; what is the matter?"
14280But what_ shall_ I do with her, Adelaide?--have you no suggestion to make?"
14280But where did you lose them, daughter?"
14280But where, darling, are all your bonny curls?"
14280But why do you wish to see him?"
14280But wo n''t your papa let you stay up longer?"
14280But would your papa punish you for such a little thing?"
14280But, Elsie, dear, can you not come to Ion, and spend the rest of your holidays with us?
14280Ca n''t we get in the back way, Sophy?
14280Ca n''t you believe Jesus when he says,''I_ give_ unto them eternal life''?"
14280Can it be wondered at that for a moment Elsie wavered?
14280Can you pack in time for the afternoon train, Adelaide?"
14280Can you read my thoughts?"
14280Carry and Lucy,_ you_ are not to leave us so soon, are you?"
14280Chloe softly opened the door, and the little girl started up, asking in an eager whisper,"Did he say I might come, mammy?"
14280Chloe whispered in Elsie''s ear,"Massa not vexed wid you, darlin''?"
14280Come, what shall it be, Elsie?"
14280Could it be Elsie, his own beautiful little Elsie?
14280Could n''t we play it on the table?"
14280Could she bear to go on making him unhappy?
14280Dear papa, when I am gone, and you feel sad and lonely, will not_ you_ go to Jesus, too?
14280Dear,_ dear_ papa, will you not spare your little daughter this trial?
14280Deprive you of your ride?
14280Did Aunt Adelaide give it to you?"
14280Did I_ dream_ that you gave me a doll once?
14280Dinsmore?"
14280Do n''t you think it will be pleasant?"
14280Do n''t you think, mamma, he is rather too strict and particular with her?"
14280Do n''t you, papa?"
14280Do you like it?"
14280Do you like my papa, Miss Rose?"
14280Do you think he would, if I should ask him?"
14280Do you think it is my duty to tell Arthur''s father?"
14280Do, dear child, let me help you to something; here''s a saucer of berries and cream; wo n''t you take it?
14280Does it not make you glad?
14280Edward?"
14280Elsie caught the words, and turning with an eager look to her aunt, she again spoke quite rationally,"Are you writing to papa, Aunt Adelaide?"
14280Elsie, what do you think?"
14280Flora did turn round after a little, to ask:"Why did n''t you come back, Elsie; would n''t your papa let you play?"
14280Had you not better remain here?
14280Has he come yet?"
14280Have I not known_ some_ sorrow?
14280Have n''t some of you a smelling- bottle about you?"
14280Have you any objection, my dear, to telling me what it is?"
14280Have you had your tea?"
14280Have you heard nothing yet?"
14280Have you noticed how thin and pale she is growing?
14280He did not seem to notice her, but was turning away, when Enna said,"Here is Elsie; are n''t you going to kiss_ her_ before you go?"
14280He held out his other hand to Sophy, asking, with a smile,"Will you come, my dear?"
14280He smiled a little, asking,"Which do you think looks the most inviting?"
14280He waited a moment, then said:"Once more I ask you, Elsie, will you obey me?"
14280His heart aches to receive her; must he do without her still?"
14280How can I ever endure its trials and temptations?
14280How can I live without you-- without any one to love me?"
14280How can you sing, ye little bird, An''I sae weary, full of care?"
14280How could you bear to read them?"
14280How did you learn?"
14280How old are you, papa?"
14280How_ can_ I give her up?
14280I ask again, will you obey me?"
14280I hope the child was not hurt, Horace?"
14280I know you have only done what you had a right to do-- for am I not your own?
14280I would like it_ much_ better than going to the party; will you, papa?
14280I would n''t ask you to do anything your papa had forbidden, but he never said you should n''t wade in the brook, did he?"
14280I''ll call her Rose, papa, may n''t I?
14280Is it getting night, papa, or morning?"
14280Is it not so?"
14280Is it nothing that I have pined all my life long for a mother''s love?
14280It was only for a little while each time, papa, but it was very wicked, and I am very,_ very_ sorry; will you please forgive me?
14280Lucy looked a little ashamed, while Mary Leslie exclaimed:"Your own choice, Elsie?
14280Lucy, is she much hurt?"
14280May I always dine with you?"
14280May I?"
14280May n''t I, papa?"
14280Miss Rose must visit us next time, papa, must she not?"
14280Must I go now?
14280Must I go on with lessons this week, papa?"
14280Now tell me what troubled you, my own one?"
14280Oh, Aunt Adelaide, he_ will_ kiss me when I am dying, wo n''t he?
14280Oh, Horace, will you not come and save her?"
14280Oh, how can I live without you?
14280Oh, how could you say such cruel words to me?"
14280Oh, mammy, there is such a weary aching at my heart-- is it_ never_ to be satisfied?"
14280Oh, papa, dear papa, will you not let me-- will you not kiss me once,_ just once_?
14280Oh, papa, papa, will you never, never come back to me?
14280Oh, papa, will I never see you again?
14280Oh, papa,_ do please_ let me go,_ wo n''t_ you?"
14280Please, may I get up now?"
14280Please, papa,_ do!_ wo n''t you?"
14280Shall I ask her?"
14280Shall I ever live with him in this dear home?"
14280Shall I ever see him?
14280Shall I ever see his face?
14280Shall I find you in the library?"
14280Shall I sing to you now?"
14280Shall I?"
14280Shall you like that?"
14280She paused, and Elsie, trembling, and almost holding her breath, asked fearfully,"What is it, Aunt Adelaide?"
14280She started up from her pillow, asking eagerly,"What is it, mammy?
14280She waited a moment for a reply; then asked again,"May I not have it, papa?"
14280She waited patiently until there was another slight pause; then asked in her most coaxing tone,"Papa, may I go to church to- morrow?"
14280Shutting the door, he said sternly,"Elsie, what did you mean by behaving so in church?
14280Surely your father will forgive, and receive you into favor, if you show yourself penitent and submissive?"
14280The child started and colored, as she raised her eyes from the book to his face, asking, in a half tremulous tone,"What, papa?"
14280Then closing the book, she asked softly,"Shall we pray, now, Aunt Dinah?"
14280Then laying his hand on Elsie''s head,"Do you know, Miss Allison,"he asked,"that I never saw my little girl until she was nearly eight years old?"
14280Then she asked in a half whisper,"Are you going to punish me, papa?"
14280Then sitting down with her on his knee, he asked tenderly,"What does my darling want with papa to- night?"
14280Then throwing himself into a chair,"Well, what is to be done about this bad business?"
14280There, Sophy is calling me; may I go to her?"
14280They sent a thrill of joy to her heart; for was not_ she_ suffering for_ his_ sake?
14280Travilla?"
14280Was she indeed about to leave him, and go to her mother?
14280Was that what you went to the city for yesterday?"
14280Were you ever vexed with me?
14280Were you near enough to see?"
14280What can I do for you now?"
14280What did Arthur do?
14280What do you wish me to write?"
14280What had she done to so displease her master, that he had determined to subject her to such a bitter trial?
14280What made these come so soon, papa?"
14280What will you have?
14280What''s the matter, girls?"
14280When does he go, papa?"
14280When will you do it, papa?"
14280Where did it happen?
14280Where have you been, child, to get yourself in such a plight?"
14280Where were Louise and Lora?"
14280Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness and hath no light?
14280Whom would you like to have?"
14280Why did she not come to papa with her trouble?"
14280Why dost thou open all my wounds again?"
14280Will not that be quite as pleasant as going with the school- children?"
14280Will that do?"
14280Will you forgive your father, dearest, for all he has made you suffer?"
14280Will you not do it at once, and spare me the painful necessity of putting my sentence into execution?"
14280Will you not tell me the cause of your grief?"
14280Wiping her eyes, she looked up beseechingly into his face, asking, in pleading tones,"_ Dear_ papa, wo n''t you give me one kiss-- just_ one_?
14280Wo n''t papa be pleased?"
14280Wo n''t you have something to eat?"
14280Wo n''t you take your tea up here with me?
14280Would n''t you, Elsie?"
14280Would you like to go?"
14280You are not angry with me now, papa?"
14280You do n''t mean dat God will save poor ole Dinah, an''gib her hebben, an''all for nuffin?"
14280You do n''t think it was_ very_ naughty in me?"
14280You do not mind about it, papa, dear, do you?
14280You have sent for him, Adelaide?"
14280You were not vexed, papa?"
14280You will go, mother, will you not?"
14280You will try to obey me in this?"
14280You wo n''t_ make_ me do it?"
14280You would be willing to suffer a great deal for that, dear child, would you not?
14280You''ll kiss me when I''m dying, papa dear, wo n''t you?"
14280You''s berry young, an?
14280Your place is simply to obey; are you going to do it?"
14280_ He_ has said it, and shall it not come to pass, my darling?
14280_ How can I live without it_?"
14280_ Is_ there anything on her mind?
14280_ dear_ old mammy, what ails you?"
14280an''if_ he_ is with you, who can hurt you?
14280and can you not just punish me whenever I disobey you, without requiring any promise?"
14280and do you think he will_ love_ me, Aunt Adelaide?"
14280and is not that book full of such things, and only of such?"
14280and this is such a nice place, almost as pretty as our own dear home; and are they not pleasant people?
14280and very unhappy before that?
14280and were you afraid?"
14280and what is its name?"
14280and who is with you?
14280and will we go_ soon_ to our own home, papa?"
14280and will you let me wait on you?
14280and_ can_ I give up the love of Jesus?
14280are n''t you, papa?"
14280asked her mother with a look of mingled surprise and alarm, while Herbert started up asking,"Is it Elsie?
14280can it really be true that I shall see my own dear father?
14280can you bear it, my dear sir?"
14280dear, why did n''t I think of that?
14280do n''t you like parties?"
14280do you think she can ever get well?"
14280even all you are suffering now?"
14280exclaimed her father, in a tone of mingled reproof and surprise,"did you hear me?"
14280for do n''t even the best people very often do wrong?"
14280he asked, bending over her in tender solicitude;"what ails my little one?"
14280he asked;"can any one tell me?"
14280he asked;"one of the new ones I bought you the other day?"
14280he exclaimed, suddenly pausing before her,"are_ my_ sins thus to be visited on my innocent child?
14280he said, in a sympathizing tone;"and had you all the burden of entertaining them?
14280he said,"these little hands are very cold, let papa rub them; and are your feet cold too?"
14280how can I ever live without your love?"
14280how do you find your patient?"
14280how much money I would have if I lived to grow up?"
14280how_ can_ I bear it?
14280how_ can_ I give you up?"
14280is anything wrong with my patient?"
14280is my papa better?"
14280is n''t it pretty, and oh, papa,_ do n''t_ you like Miss Rose?"
14280is papa going away?"
14280is she really so much distressed about it, Edward?"
14280mammy, mammy, must we part?--shall I ever see you again?"
14280never kiss me, or call me pet names?
14280not love my own dear papa?
14280nothing to have been separated from the dear nurse, who had almost supplied her place?
14280papa, how could I ever_ bear_ to lose your love?
14280papa, papa, will you never come?"
14280papa, papa, will you never,_ never_ love me again?"
14280papa, papa, will you_ never_ love me any more?
14280said Mr. Travilla again,"is there nothing I can do for you?
14280she cried, capering about with them in her hands,"are n''t they, mammy?
14280she cried,"is it for me?"
14280she exclaimed eagerly;"_ will_ you do it some day?"
14280she exclaimed, dropping her head on her nurse''s shoulder, with a fresh burst of tears,"how can I help it, when my heart is bursting?"
14280she murmured half aloud,"why did you leave your poor heart- broken child?
14280she said, bursting into tears,"what_ can_ be the reason she does n''t come?"
14280she said, looking up into his face with the tears streaming down her own,"have I not been punished enough for that?
14280she said, looking up quickly into his face,"does n''t everything I have belong to you?"
14280she sobbed, raising her streaming eyes to his face,"will you never,_ never_ love me any more?--must I never come near you, or speak to you again?"
14280she sobbed,"will you never love me again?
14280she would exclaim, again and again,"how can I bear it?
14280so that I can get a clean dress on before he sees me?
14280so that was what you were crying about this afternoon, eh?"
14280take care, Elsie; are you not afraid of hurting his feelings?"
14280that is a sudden resolution, is it not?"
14280that is, would you advise it?"
14280the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?''
14280the servants, you know, papa, and the people at the hotel: but do n''t you think they are kind?"
14280to- day?"
14280what ailed you then?"
14280what ails my darling?"
14280what ails you, my daughter?
14280what have you to say to papa?"
14280what is it?
14280what my chile been cryin''''bout?"
14280what troubles my own sweet child?"
14280what will Miss Allison think if I do n''t answer her letter?"
14280what_ is_ the matter?
14280where did you lose them?"
14280whispered the girl,"I tink she''s_ berry_ sick; sha n''t we send for de doctah?"
14280who is there to love me now?
14280why, where did you come from?"
14280will it_ ever_ be?"
14280will my dear, precious papa die?"
14280will you go away without kissing me?--me, your own little daughter, that you used to love so dearly?
14280will you let her die?
14280will you never, never come back?
14280will you never, never love me again?"
14280will you teach me yourself?"
14280will you_ beg_ him to come?"
14280will you_ never_ come?
14280with a questioning look down into her glad face,"will they want me?"
14280wo n''t you let me help you while I am here?"
14280would you like to go?"
14280you ca n''t mean to advise me to deceive and disobey my father?"
6440A Christmas gift is it to be?
6440Ah? 6440 All ready, my darling?"
6440Am I to go, Aunt Adelaide? 6440 And have you ever left your desk unlocked, or the key lying about?"
6440And how am I to secure His aid?
6440And in answer to your other question,''How shall I get rid of my sins?'' 6440 And must I go to bed now?"
6440And now tell me, have you been a good girl in my absence?
6440And now will you do me the favor to repeat the song I heard you singing a few moments since?
6440And what?
6440And who is mammy?
6440And why did_ I_ never hear of it before?
6440And you are the daughter of my friend, Mr. Horace Dinsmore?
6440And you did not like it, papa?
6440And you do love your own papa best, and do n''t want to exchange him for another?
6440Another present for me?
6440Are you going to answer me?
6440Are you going to ride, Elsie?
6440Are you going to the city to- night, Pompey?
6440Are you hungry, daughter?
6440Are you not mistaken?
6440Are you ready to dress me now?
6440Are you well?
6440Are you, darling? 6440 Are you?"
6440Are you_ sure_, Horace, that Elsie was so much to blame?
6440Arthur,said he sternly, as the boy made his appearance, looking somewhat pale and alarmed,"how dared you meddle with my watch?"
6440Better than anybody else?
6440But do you think you are good enough, daughter, for Jesus to love you?
6440But tell me, Elsie, did you not feel afraid for the rest of us? 6440 But what is the matter with Elsie?"
6440But you_ will_ give me the money to pay for the watch papa,_ wo n''t_ you?
6440But, Miss Elsie, why do you think it would be disobeying Him? 6440 But_ God_ would know, Miss Stevens; and I should know it myself, and how could I ever look my papa in the face again after deceiving him so?"
6440Can you not? 6440 Carry and I want to go to the city, this afternoon; wo n''t you take us, papa?"
6440Come here to me, Elsie, and tell me, is it_ true_ that you contradicted your teacher?
6440Come with me to my room, wo n''t you, Lucy?
6440Come, Aunt Chloe, are n''t you done? 6440 Come, come, what is all this fuss about?"
6440Dear papa, am I like mamma?
6440Did Elsie send you?
6440Did I not order you to learn that lesson over?
6440Did you not hear the bell?
6440Did you see it, too, Walter?
6440Did you want me, papa?
6440Dinsmore,he said, going up to his friend;"I am sure that child is conscientious; had you not better give up to her in this instance?"
6440Do you do lessons in holidays?
6440Do you feel quite sure of being able to hold them in?
6440Do you hear that, Horace?
6440Do you indeed care so very much for my love?
6440Do you know it, darling?
6440Do you like it, papa?
6440Do you love me, Elsie, dearest?
6440Do you think I was very saucy, papa?
6440Do you think we are in any danger of being run away with?
6440Do you, daughter?
6440Do you_ really_ love it so, Rose?
6440Do, Lora? 6440 Does it please you, my darling?"
6440Does it? 6440 Does n''t your papa let you eat anything good, Elsie?"
6440Does she not sometimes say naughty things to you?
6440Does she, darling? 6440 Ef Marse Horace do n''t like her, what for they been gwine ridin''ebery afternoon?
6440Elsie, I think, is your name, is it not?
6440Elsie, do you think he will let you go?
6440Elsie, will you have some meat?
6440Elsie,asked her father, coming to her side,"are you ready to obey me now?
6440Elsie,he asked, turning to her,"is this so?"
6440Elsie,said Mr. Dinsmore, speaking from the door,"what are you doing there?
6440Elsie,said he, in a reproving tone,"I have forbidden you to walk out alone; are you disobeying me?"
6440Elsie,she said,"I am writing to Miss Rose; have you any word to send?
6440Has papa come in yet, mammy?
6440Have I not said enough to convince you of your duty?
6440Have you got it?
6440Help you in what? 6440 Here I am, Elsie; what do you want with me?"
6440Here am Pomp, Miss Elsie; what does little missy want wid dis chile?
6440Here are blocks; will you build houses?
6440Here are some dissected maps, Mary,replied Elsie, opening a drawer;"would you not like them?"
6440Horace, Elsie is to go of course?
6440How dare you? 6440 How do you do, Aunt Chloe?
6440How do you do, Miss Lucy Carrington? 6440 How do you know that, Elsie?"
6440How do you know they are not right, little puss?
6440How do you know?
6440How do you know?
6440How far have you been?
6440How is your hip now, Herbert?
6440I am rich, grandpa, am I not? 6440 I did ask you if it was true that you contradicted her, did I not?"
6440I hope not, mammy; and were Aunt Phillis, and Uncle Jack, and all the rest pleased with their presents?
6440I hope she is not a sickly child,said he, addressing Adelaide;"is she subject to such attacks?"
6440I suppose you are very happy now that your papa has come home at last?
6440I suppose you have never been to Ion, Elsie?
6440I think it would be better fun to go alone, Elsie-- don''t you?
6440I was terribly frightened, and so were the rest-- all but you, Elsie; tell me,_ do_--what kept_ you_ from being afraid?
6440I will, mammy,Elsie said, doing as she was desired;"but please dress me as soon as the room is warm enough, wo n''t you?"
6440I will; who cares for your old chair?
6440I wonder how I shall spend the vacation? 6440 I wonder,"she thought to herself,"if he would expect to domineer over his wife in that style?"
6440Is it half- past nine already, papa?
6440Is it_ possible?_said he, in a tone of surprise;"then tell me who did do it.
6440Is my darling satisfied_ now?_he asked, as she ran into his arms and was folded in a close embrace.
6440Is n''t it delightful to have your papa at home, Elsie?
6440Is not that a sweet verse,''Having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end''? 6440 Is there not one in my dressing- room?"
6440Is this so, Arthur?
6440Is your papa here, Miss Lucy?
6440Is_ that_ an excuse for disobedience, Elsie?
6440It is only I; did I frighten you, mammy?
6440It is really very pretty,he said, examining it;"is it possible it is your work?
6440It is the very pleasantest hour in the day, except--"Well, except what? 6440 It was not that, papa, but-- but----""But what, my darling?
6440It''s very pleasant to live on bread and water, is n''t it, eh?
6440Keep it in your pocket, and use it every day, wo n''t you, papa?
6440Ki? 6440 Lora,"said Louise, impatiently,"why need you concern yourself with Elsie''s affairs?
6440Mamma,asked Lora,"is not Elsie to be allowed to go too?"
6440Mammy, is papa in his room?
6440May I be permitted to ask_ why_, madam?
6440May I get a book to read, papa?
6440May I go to my room now, papa?
6440May I spend it_ all_, papa?
6440Miss Day,said he, showing the book,"Elsie says these blots are not her work; can you tell me whose they are?"
6440Mr. Travilla,she said, laying her hand on his arm and looking earnestly into his face,"how do you know that there is time enough yet?
6440Must I tell you_ every_ thing I buy?
6440My dear little girl, what is the matter?
6440My dear, how can you say so? 6440 My papa and mamma; are they not beautiful, mammy?
6440Next to the Bible, eh? 6440 No blots?"
6440No, papa, was I?
6440No; what was it?
6440Not a bit of it,said he;"ca n''t you see that I''m in earnest?"
6440Not love papa, my own dear papa, who has no child but me? 6440 Not through yet, Miss Day?"
6440Now I have caught you figuratively and literally, my little lady, so what are you going to give me, eh?
6440Only what, darling?
6440Papa knew best, after all, did he not?
6440Papa,she asked,"is the clock right?"
6440Please, papa, let me finish the paragraph first; may I?
6440Pray, what weighty matter is troubling your young brain, birdie?
6440Shall I bring in de trunks now, massa?
6440Shall I ride with my little girl this afternoon?
6440Shall I tell you a story?
6440Shall we not start soon?
6440Tell me what you did it for; was it pure love of mischief?
6440Then please keep it for me until to- morrow, papa, will you?
6440Then what are you eating that cold bread for? 6440 There is blood on my dress,"cried Elsie, in a startled tone;"where did it come from?"
6440There,she cried, holding up the severed ringlet,"is n''t it a beauty?
6440They have all gone to the fair and left you at home alone; perhaps to learn a lesson you have failed in reciting?
6440Through the meadow?
6440Time to get ready for bed now, ai n''t it, pet?
6440Very well; do you know whether any one else entered the room during your absence?
6440Was n''t it too provoking, Elsie, that those people did n''t send home my bracelet last night?
6440Was she tired, then?
6440Was_ that all?_ why_ my_ papa would n''t have punished me for that,said Lucy.
6440Well, Elsie, you will at least come to the piano and play a little for me, will you not?
6440Well, Mr. Dinsmore, what do you say? 6440 Well, and is not_ that_ a foolish story?
6440Well, do n''t you think I would make a good father?
6440Well, excepting what?
6440Well, my daughter, and what of that? 6440 Well, my daughter,"said Mr. Dinsmore, when they were fairly upon their way to Roselands,"have you had a pleasant day?"
6440Well, suppose I had been killed, and had not loved Jesus; where would I be now?
6440Well, what is it?
6440Well, what of that, you little goose?
6440Well, when are the little plagues coming?
6440What a strange child Elsie is?
6440What ails you, Arthur? 6440 What are our hopes?
6440What are we going to do to- day, Elsie?
6440What are you thinking of, darling?
6440What can there be in it that you find so affecting?
6440What de matter, darlin''?
6440What do you know of this?
6440What do you mean, sir, by teasing Elsie in that manner?
6440What do you want me for, papa?
6440What do you want with her?
6440What do you want, Miss Lucy?
6440What do you want?
6440What for? 6440 What for?"
6440What is it, darling?
6440What is it? 6440 What is my little girl thinking of?"
6440What is the matter, Flora, dear?
6440What is the matter? 6440 What is the matter?
6440What is the matter?
6440What is the matter?
6440What is the meaning of this?
6440What is the trouble with Elsie?
6440What is this, Elsie?
6440What is your hand tied up for, Elsie?
6440What made him push her?
6440What makes you so onrestless, darlin''?
6440What was it?
6440What will Lucy and Herbert think when they come in and ca n''t find me, papa?
6440What will papa say?
6440What''s de matter, darlin''?
6440What''s de matter, darlin''?
6440What, papa?
6440What, you''wake, darlin''?
6440What?
6440What_ did_ your papa send you away for, Elsie?
6440When are you going papa?
6440When were you so sad and lonely, darling?
6440Where are you going, daughter?
6440Where did you learn all this?
6440Where is Miss Elsie?
6440Where is papa, Aunt Adelaide?
6440Where is papa, Fanny?
6440Where is papa?
6440Who dat?
6440Who did this?
6440Who did, then?
6440Who told you all that?
6440Who told you?
6440Why are you skipping about in that mad fashion, Elsie?
6440Why did you send Lucy instead of coming yourself?
6440Why do you cry so, my darling?
6440Why do you not speak?
6440Why do you sigh, daughter?
6440Why do you think so?
6440Why, Elsie, my own darling, what ails you?
6440Why, Elsie, what difference can it make to you whether I love Him or not?
6440Why, Pomp,she asked,"did papa send it?"
6440Why, my bressed lamb, you did n''t lie awake lookin''for de mornin'', did you? 6440 Why, my own darling,"he said, kissing her again and again,"why do you talk so?
6440Why, papa?
6440Why, what was that for?
6440Why, what''s the matter?
6440Why, you brought back a new one, papa, did n''t you?
6440Why?
6440Will it be bread and water this time, papa?
6440Will not to- morrow do, papa?
6440Will you come into the drawing- room, papa?
6440Will you dare to tell me such a falsehood as that again?
6440Will you get me one when you have done my curls?
6440Will you love me? 6440 Will you play jack- stones?
6440Will you ride, Travilla?
6440Will you try not to meddle in future, and not to cry at the table, or pout and sulk when you are punished?
6440Wo n''t your mamma buy it for you?
6440Wo n''t_ you_ eat some, papa?
6440Wonder if you knows dat gen''leman, darlin''?
6440Would you?
6440Yes, Elsie, but what must I_ do_?
6440Yes, my pet, I will; but I thought you said you had no present for me?
6440Yes,said Elsie, wiping away her tears;"and He is your Friend, too; and do n''t you think, Miss Rose, He will bring us together again some day?"
6440Yes,said Lora,"but you have not answered my question;_ how_ am I to seek?
6440Yes; but wo n''t you speak to mamma first? 6440 Yet I think there is something else you would have liked better; is there not?"
6440You are not displeased, papa?
6440You do n''t_ know_? 6440 You loved mamma?"
6440You will let her go, Miss Day?
6440You will not want to say any lesson to- day, I suppose?
6440You''ll go and ask him for it, wo n''t you?
6440do you ask me what? 6440 And even if he did, might he not still think her deserving of punishment? 6440 And now will you do me the favor to go to her and tell her that her papa says she need not stay in her room any longer?
6440And so she lingered, trembling, hoping, fearing; but presently he looked up with a cold"Why do you stand there?
6440And then, Horace, what motive could she have had for spoiling her book, knowing as she did that certain punishment would follow?
6440And your papa is away, is he not, Elsie?"
6440Are n''t you glad?
6440Are you sure of it, Travilla?"
6440Arthur, I say, where are you?"
6440As she left the room at the conclusion of the meal, he asked, while following her with his eyes,"Is that one of your sisters, Dinsmore?"
6440At length she ventured to ask softly,"Papa, may I go to my own room now?"
6440But a strange voice asked,"And who is this?"
6440But are you not to have some company?"
6440But at length her father put his arm around her, and with a kind smile asked,"What is it, daughter?"
6440But how could you know I wanted more money?"
6440But how does my little girl feel this morning, after all her dissipation?"
6440But how soon do you start?"
6440But instead of answering her question, he asked,"Do you, Elsie?"
6440But now tell me, how much money have you?"
6440But then,"she added, her countenance falling,"how can I get it taken without his knowledge?
6440But what do you think of my flowers?"
6440But what is the matter, child?"
6440But while the child is looking forward to the expected meeting with such longing affection for him, how is it with the father?
6440But who could answer the anxious inquiry?
6440But why do n''t you tell your papa about it?"
6440But you are so much wiser than I, ca n''t you help me think?"
6440But, Elsie, will you tell me who taught you about Jesus, and how long you have loved Him?"
6440But, let me see, what is this''Pilgrim''s Progress''about?
6440Can I do anything for you?
6440Can you guess what it is?"
6440Come, now, would n''t you be willing to try me for a month, if your papa will give consent?"
6440Dear papa, wo n''t you forgive me?"
6440Did I not forbid you to be out in the evening air?"
6440Did I not tell you_ positively_ that I would_ punish_ you if your copy- book this month did not present a better appearance than it did last?"
6440Did n''t my mamma leave me a great deal of money?"
6440Did you get something to eat?"
6440Dinsmore, how do you do?
6440Do n''t you like them, Elsie?"
6440Do you hear?"
6440Do you love Jesus, papa?"
6440Do you not like to be with me?"
6440Do you see_ now_ why I forbade you to go there?"
6440Do you think he would come to me?"
6440Do you think he would love me, Miss Allison?
6440Do you think he would take me on his knee and pet me, as grandpa does Enna?"
6440Do you understand?"
6440Do_ you_ like it?"
6440Elsie dear, how do you do?
6440Elsie hung down her head in silence for a moment, then asked in a tremulous tone,"Are you going to punish me, papa?"
6440Elsie ran down to the kitchen, asking of one and another of the servants as she passed,"Where''s Pompey?"
6440Elsie was very modest, and rather timid, too, but also very polite; so she said,"No excuse is necessary; but will you not take a seat, sir?
6440Elsie, ca n''t you tell us what to play?"
6440Elsie, who broke my watch?"
6440Enna, wo n''t you give them back?"
6440Eversham?"
6440For what glory is it if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently?
6440Had you a good night''s rest?"
6440Had you it with you when you rode out?"
6440Had you not better sing the song?
6440Has she any faults, Dinsmore?"
6440Have you not seen her, ma''am?"
6440He laid down the whip asking,"_ How_ do you know it?
6440He laughed at her eager tone, and putting a fifty- dollar note into her hand, asked,"Will that be enough?"
6440He looked at her with an impatient"Well?"
6440He opened it immediately, and springing into his arms, she asked, almost tearfully,"Are you going away, papa?"
6440He paused a moment, still looking sternly at the little, trembling, sobbing girl at his side; then asked,"What were you doing in the meadow?
6440He paused a moment; then asked,"Have you obtained this new heart, Miss Elsie?"
6440He stooped and kissed her, saying,"I think I shall ride with you one of these days; should you like it?"
6440He took her hand as he spoke, and sitting down, lifted her to his knee, saying,"Elsie, my child, why do you always seem so afraid of me?
6440He turned round instantly, asking in a pleasant tone,"Well, daughter, what is it?"
6440He watched her changing countenance for some time, then asked,"What is it, darling?"
6440I am going to drive over to Ion, where your friend Mr. Travilla lives, to spend the day; would my little daughter like to go with me?"
6440I did not hear of any accident-- she has not been hurt?
6440I have been cruelly unjust to you, have I not?"
6440I have been watching you for several minutes,"he said;"always poring over the same book, Elsie; do you never tire of it?"
6440I see I was mistaken,"said he, smiling;"I thought you could hardly care for him at all; but do you think that he loves you?"
6440I think I know what that et cetera means, auntie, do n''t I?"
6440I think you forget your wish to repeat some verses to me?"
6440I wonder if it is all laziness?
6440I wonder if papa will be pleased?"
6440I wonder what he means?"
6440I''m tired now, and is n''t it almost tea- time?"
6440If Arthur continued his persecutions, how could she make the next copy- book more presentable?
6440Is dear Miss Rose coming back?"
6440Is it not enough for me to tell that I know Jim did n''t do it?"
6440Is n''t it pretty?
6440Is not_ that_ encouraging?
6440Is there any verse in the Bible which says you must not sing songs on Sunday?"
6440It could not have been you, Elsie?"
6440Little missy wants sumpin'', eh?"
6440Lucy Carrington looked curiously at her, and soon took an opportunity to whisper,"Where were you last night, Elsie?
6440May I read a little to you?"
6440Natural_ ringlets, I''m sure, are they not?"
6440Now, mammy, can you take it to the school- room, and put it on Master Arthur''s desk, without anybody seeing you?"
6440Or would you prefer water, Elsie?"
6440Pompey, why do n''t hand Miss Elsie the butter?"
6440Pray, what may the book be that effects you so?"
6440Shall I?"
6440Shall we not do so at this hour every morning?"
6440She finished the chapter, and closing the book, laid her head on his breast, asking,"Dear papa, do n''t you believe the Bible?"
6440She paused a moment; then asked,"Do you know, Mr. Travilla, how near I came to being killed last night?"
6440She put the book into his hand, saying eagerly,"It is a Christmas gift from Miss Stevens, papa; will you let me read it?"
6440She was silent for a moment, then asked suddenly,"Papa, may I say some verses to you?"
6440So I will try to keep away from that lady; shall I not, papa?"
6440Sometimes Elsie would ask very earnestly,"Do you thing papa loves Jesus, mammy?"
6440The door of his room stood open, and she walked in, asking in a trembling voice,"Did you call me, papa?"
6440Then suddenly closing the book and handing it to her, he said, inquiringly,"You were very anxious to go to Ashlands?"
6440Then the gentleman asked,"Well, my little lady, and what is meant by being born again?"
6440Then, kissing her several times and hugging her in his arms, he said,"_ You_ are not afraid of me, are you?
6440Then, looking at Elsie, she went on,"We''ve come to stay a week; wo n''t we have a fine time?"
6440There was a moment''s pause, and then she asked in a timid hesitating way,"Papa, may I have my candy, if you please?"
6440There was an aching void in her heart which nothing else could fill; must it always be thus?
6440There was evidently displeasure and reproof in his tone, and, entirely unconscious of wrongdoing, Elsie looked up in surprise, asking,"Why, papa?"
6440Travilla?"
6440Very well, then, I think you could not be very ill without knowing it, and so you seem to have no excuse at all to offer?
6440Was Aunt Chloe in your room all the time you were away?"
6440Was n''t it too bad of your father to send you off to bed so early last night?"
6440Were you not well?"
6440What has come over me?
6440What reason can you assign, pray?
6440Where is that paltry trifle that all this fuss is about?
6440Which hand did it?"
6440Who could help loving Him?
6440Why are you always tormenting this poor child?
6440Why did you not give us the old bays?"
6440Why did you not tell me, my daughter, how you have been ill treated and provoked?"
6440Why have you been idling all the morning?"
6440Why, what have you ever done?
6440Will that do?"
6440Will you be so good as to tell me what she has done?"
6440Will you go along, mother?"
6440Will you please forgive me?"
6440Will you, Arthur?
6440Wo n''t you tell him?
6440Would you like to see my mamma, Miss Allison?"
6440Would you_ dare_ to do so when I so positively forbade it only the other day?"
6440You ai n''t sick, nor sufferin''any way?"
6440You can say all that with truth, I think?"
6440You look very much distressed; will you not tell me the cause of your sorrow?"
6440You_ could n''t_ study, eh?
6440_ Is n''t_ it a good likeness, mammy?"
6440_ can_ he mean that?
6440_ dear, dear_ Miss Rose, what shall I do without you?"
6440_ so_ dearly,"as she often whispered to herself; but would she ever meet with anything like a return of her fond affection?
6440_ that_ is it, eh?
6440afraid of what?"
6440always doing something to displease my dear papa?
6440an''do n''t dis niggah see him sit beside her mornin'', noon, an''night, laughin''an''talkin''at de table an''in de parlor?
6440an''do n''t she keep a kissin''little Miss Elsie, an''callin''her pretty critter, sweet critter, an''de like?"
6440and what makes you think I do n''t love Him?"
6440and will he be here soon?"
6440and wo n''t dear Miss Allison be pleased with it?"
6440and wonderful love that prompted it?"
6440are you sick or hurt?"
6440asked Adelaide, lifting her eyes to her friend''s face with an expression of astonishment;"do tell me why?"
6440asked Chloe, half an hour afterward;"ca n''t you go to sleep no how?"
6440asked Elsie;"but how will you get it done in time?
6440asked her grandfather;"have you been hurt?"
6440both of them?"
6440but then, papa, we may have one of the carriages, and Pomp or Ajax to drive us, may we not?"
6440ca n''t you help me?
6440ca n''t you tell me?
6440can it be_ possible_ that this is_ your_ doing?"
6440can you see any sense or meaning in it?"
6440chile, dat_ you?_ what you doin''runnin''''bout de house all in de dark, cold night?"
6440chile, dat_ you?_ what you doin''runnin''''bout de house all in de dark, cold night?"
6440could you think I would do that?"
6440dear, shall I never, never learn to be good?
6440did papa say so?"
6440did you see that squirrel?
6440do put it away,"pleaded Elsie,"if anything should happen to it, what will grandpa say?
6440do you not know that you are more precious to me than all my wealth, all my friends and relatives put together?
6440do you really mean it?
6440does it not?
6440exclaimed Miss Day, furiously;"how_ dare_ you contradict me?
6440has anything happened to you?"
6440have you any proof?"
6440he asked coolly, looking up from his book,"why do you wish to go?"
6440he asked in a stern, angry tone;"why have you not eaten what I sent you?"
6440he asked, drawing her tenderly toward him, and pushing back the curls from her face;"why do you look so pained?
6440he asked;"are you tired of my company?"
6440he asked;"do you not expect to enjoy their company?"
6440he exclaimed, with a startled look,"what can it be?
6440he said, smiling;"and which is my present?
6440how can I ever find it in my heart to be stern to her?
6440how can I?"
6440how can you be so very silly as to believe for one moment anything so perfectly absurd as that I should think of giving you away?
6440how could she bear punishment from him, when a word or look of displeasure almost broke her heart?
6440how make myself pleasing in the sight of God?
6440how_ could_ you take grandpa''s watch?
6440indeed, is that it?
6440is he coming?
6440is it not handsome?"
6440is it possible?
6440is not sick?
6440is_ that_ all?"
6440mammy, wo n''t that do now?
6440must I?
6440my own papa, will you never love me?"
6440nor sorry that I have come home?"
6440or would he listen patiently to_ her_ story?
6440papa, is it not beautiful?"
6440papa, is that you?"
6440papa,"she pleaded,"wo n''t to- morrow do?
6440reading with your book upside down, eh?"
6440said Eversham, sighing;"where in the world did she get such odd notions?"
6440said he, in a tone of surprise;"then, since he is an entire stranger to you, I suppose you can not have much affection for him?"
6440said he,"are you ill?
6440said he;"what do you call these?"
6440said the governess,"and why are you sitting here idling?"
6440said the little girl,"does it not make your heart ache to read how the Jews abused our dear, dear Saviour?
6440she asked in a bewildered way;"what did I do?
6440she asked, with a beating heart,"_ will_ he_ love_ me?
6440she cried,"is it really true?
6440she exclaimed,"how_ could_ you think that?
6440she said eagerly;"wo n''t you tell me about those times?
6440she said, as Walter gave a sudden shout at a successful toss Enna had just made;"ca n''t you be quiet?
6440she said, dropping her head on his breast while the bright drops fell like rain down her cheeks,"would you have been so very sorry?"
6440she said,"but may I say them now?"
6440she said,"is it you?
6440she suddenly exclaimed, as Chloe was trying on her hat,"is Pomp going to the city to- day?"
6440sir, how could you think that?"
6440some foolish story of a man with a great load on his back; is it not?"
6440that is your name, is it not?"
6440that is, what means am I to use to get rid of my sins, and get a new heart?
6440that she was becoming less afraid of displeasing and dishonoring her Saviour than in former days?
6440that was it, eh?"
6440this great girl_ my_ child?
6440was her craving for affection never to be satisfied?
6440was it indeed true that she was losing her tenderness of conscience?
6440was n''t He good to keep us all from being killed?"
6440what did I say that could have hurt you so?
6440what difference will that make to Miss Rose?"
6440what does Elsie want?"
6440what harm if you do?
6440what has Elsie done?"
6440what has happened?"
6440what must I_ do_ to be saved?"
6440what''s the matter?
6440what_ proof_ have you?
6440where would we all be now?
6440where would_ I_ have been?
6440where_ is_ papa?
6440why am I always so naughty?
6440will he ever love me now?"
6440will he let me love him?
6440will he take me in his arms and call me his own darling child?"
6440will you not love me?
6440will you tell me dat, darkies?
6440wo n''t he be pleased?
6440wo n''t you?"
6440yes,"cried Elsie, clapping her hands,"that will do nicely; why did n''t I think of it?
6440your miniature, little one, of course; what could please him better?"
14566''Course we''ll''sult mamma''bout it first, and she''ll say yes; she always likes us to be kind and-- char-- char--"Charitable? 14566 ''Is it strange, then that smokers and chewers have a thousand ailments?
14566A play- room, mammy?
14566About what, daughter?
14566Ah, grandpa''s little cricket, where were you last evening?
14566Ah, is that so? 14566 Ah, stay a moment,"Elsie said, detaining her,"are you sure, quite sure that I can do nothing to help you?"
14566All alone, little wife?
14566Among us: my namesake daughter proposed the wearing of the dress: and the ceremony,turning to the minister,"was your idea, Mr. Wood, was it not?"
14566An excellent one, is he not? 14566 An''ye hadna heard aboot it, my leddies?"
14566And has all this distress been for fear of punishment?
14566And it was almost as hard for you, mamma, when you were a little girl: did n''t you feel very sad?
14566And it was you, sir? 14566 And it''s honoring our graves to scatter flowers over them: is n''t it, Aunt Rosie?"
14566And my brother and sister were there?
14566And not go to the picnic? 14566 And pray, sir, what am I to say to the owners when they claim their property?"
14566And take me with you?
14566And was in hiding somewhere; and his wife staying on alone with her children and servants? 14566 And what does she say is yours?"
14566And what else?
14566And what shall it be?
14566And who elected him? 14566 And you and Uncle Joe will be careful not to let any of the other servants know that he''s here?"
14566And you and papa?
14566And you had a share in it too, Walter?
14566And you will stay with us to- night?
14566And you''ll go too, and take us, mamma, wo n''t you?
14566And you, Edward? 14566 Are they good?
14566Are you afraid too, Ed?
14566Are you considered good enough to go with us to- day?
14566Are you going out, mamma?
14566Are you willing to leave that to Mr. Travilla and me?
14566Boyd?
14566Bruno, where is our little Violet?
14566But Aunt Chloe, will there be room for us all?
14566But are you not really happy, cousin?
14566But how am I to get out of this? 14566 But if somebody needs us to do it to save them from being hurt or killed, papa?"
14566But oh, did n''t you want your mamma and papa?
14566But there is something beside for us to do surely? 14566 But what door does it belong to?
14566But what''s to be done with these fellows? 14566 But where is Vi?"
14566But where''s''the larger gift''they say is''a joint present from themselves''?
14566But who could have been the victim?
14566But wo n''t you come in; you and the children?
14566But, papa, if you''d been there and said I might if I wanted to?
14566By whom, Horace? 14566 Ca n''t mammy and Aunt Dicey and the rest know what to do without you to tell them?"
14566Ca n''t you see that he is nearly as eager as the rest of us? 14566 Calhoun Conly, do you think it very manly for a big fellow like you to torment such a little one as our Eddie?"
14566Calhoun Conly, what do you mean?
14566Can my boy do without God''s forgiveness? 14566 Counsel it?
14566Cousin Ronald, do n''t you have a great deal of fun doing it?
14566Dare n''t we strike a light?
14566Dat so, Mars Ed''ard?
14566Daughter, if you must visit the quarter during this sultry weather, can you not choose an earlier hour?
14566Dear Mrs. Travilla, wo n''t you come too?
14566Dear daughter, why distress yourself thus?
14566Did he know who had warned Mr. Travilla? 14566 Did he?
14566Did he? 14566 Did mamma say so, mammy?"
14566Did your father ever say a word about not going on this bridge?
14566Do you answer the description?
14566Do you like it, my darlings?
14566Do you not? 14566 Do you, son?"
14566Do your good works give you this comfortable assurance that you are going to heaven, Uncle Mose?
14566Does Uncle Mose know it?
14566Does it, darling?
14566Elsie, Vi, Harold, baby-- but where is Eddie?
14566Enough of what?
14566Father would hardly consent,replied her sister,"and if he did, what good would it do?
14566Fine sentiment, eh, Boyd?
14566God''s will, you''ve taught me, mamma, but--"Well, son?
14566Had n''t we?
14566Happy? 14566 Harold Travilla, and yours is Fank?"
14566Has you dot any''ittle boys and dirls at your house?
14566Have I not reason, Calhoun?
14566Have a cigar, sir?
14566Have they really fled? 14566 Have you heard of last night''s doings of the Ku Klux?"
14566He is not dead?
14566He then knew who were the members appointed to be of the attacking party?
14566He was wounded, then?
14566Holding a levee, eh?
14566How came my little pet here so far away from home?
14566How d''ye do, Cal?
14566How d''ye, young ladies and gentlemen? 14566 How dare you, sir?
14566How do you know that I shall do either?
14566How do you stand it, Art?
14566How does he seem?
14566How-- long-- doctor?
14566I do n''t like to vex you, mother,he answered, reddening,"but--""But you''ll have your own way, whether it displeases me or not?
14566I love God,said Harold,"and so does Fank: Mamma, can Fank come up here to play wis me?"
14566I think my pet has been dreaming?
14566I too;said Elsie,"Papa loves us very much, does n''t he, mamma?"
14566I too?
14566I wonder now if you know what you miss by your abstinence?
14566I''m more ashamed than ever, are n''t you, Wal?
14566Is it not time to go home?
14566Is my Elsie in trouble, too?
14566Is n''t it lovely, mamma? 14566 Is n''t it, papa?"
14566Is n''t it-- too-- late?
14566Is she to teach yours?
14566Is she? 14566 Is that remark intended to apply to me sir?"
14566Is that your welcome to visitors, Bruno?
14566It was a kind providence, Martin,returned Mr. Travilla, with grave earnestness,"''If God be for us who can be against us?''"
14566Jesus is with you?
14566Let''s see it now?
14566Love you, son? 14566 Mamma, did I dream it?"
14566Mamma, how can I help it?
14566Mamma, isn''t-- isn''t it your will this time? 14566 Mamma, must I give them presents?"
14566Mamma, what dey doin''now?
14566Mamma, what is die?
14566Mamma, will you be angry if I say my thought?
14566Mamma,said Eddie, coming into the school- room next morning with a slight frown on his usually pleasant face,"why do you call us to lessons?
14566Mamma,said Vi,"we little ones ca n''t fight, but if we pray a good deal to God, will that help?"
14566May I hear the story? 14566 May I not send immediately?"
14566May be not; he did n''t disobey on purpose? 14566 May we be there when the bell rings?
14566Me too, mamma?
14566Meta, what am I to do with you? 14566 Meta, what''s the matter with you?"
14566Miss Elsie, honey, is you willin''to let us scald dem Kluxes wid boilin''soap an''lye?
14566Miss Wi''let? 14566 My darling, what is it?"
14566My husband,she said in trembling tones, looking up into his face with brimming eyes,"what may they not do next?
14566My little son,she said, with tender gravity,"were we sent into this world to please ourselves?"
14566No, no, my dear friend,returned Elsie;"does not the Master say,''This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you?''
14566Now all have spoken but you, brother mine,Elsie said, turning to Horace Jr."You surely do not intend to reject our invitation?"
14566O Mary, is it you?
14566O grandma, you will not say no?
14566O mamma, may n''t we go with you?
14566O my poor Minerva,she said,"what is this they have done to you and poor little Ben?"
14566O papa, may n''t I go along with you? 14566 O, are you going to teach me how to shoot?
14566O, mamma, wo n''t you wear your wedding dress?
14566Oh, grandpa, what you turn for?
14566Oh, oh, oh I which ob de chillins am up dar?
14566On the fence, hey? 14566 On your way to the Oaks?"
14566One what?
14566Papa, could it hollow so loud when it was dead?
14566Papa, do you understand that you are ordering the destruction of other men''s property?
14566Papa, papa, can you forgive such a naughty disobedient boy? 14566 Papa, s''pose-- s''pose I''d done something naughty, and-- and it would grieve dear mamma to hear it; ought I to tell her and-- and make her sorry?"
14566Papa, you will not forsake us?
14566Papa,asked Vi, climbing his knee,"were you''fraid Eddie would shoot us if we went along?"
14566Papa,said Vi,"shall we, too, have ponies and ride with you, when we''re as big as Elsie and Eddie?"
14566Scald them, mammy?
14566Shall I strike a light?
14566Shall I tell you about it now, papa?
14566Sir, Monsieur, I vil know vat for is dis disturbance of mine slumbers?
14566So they have asked for us?
14566So we are; but would n''t it be worse to send''em back? 14566 So would I: and we''ll never do the like again, Dick, never; will we?"
14566So you are not off yet?
14566So you told mamma about the naughtiness?
14566Some one else did it?
14566Some one is ill, I fear?
14566Strange I did not think of that, though how could I suppose there was a ventriloquist here?
14566Sure, Smith?
14566Thanks-- doctor,gasped Wilkins,"I-- I''ve been a bad man; a-- very bad, wicked-- man; can there be any hope for-- me?"
14566The leg, if you please; who knows but I may have use for more than two to- night?
14566The wretches, what will they do next? 14566 Then I may do it, papa?"
14566Then you counsel resistance, sir?
14566There might be danger of that,Mr. Travilla said thoughtfully,"but what better, my dear madam, can you do?"
14566They are Ku Klux, you think?
14566Vat ish dat you galls me? 14566 Was George one?"
14566Was it''bout my dream, papa?
14566Was-- this-- wound-- mortal in the-- first place?
14566We shall make a large party,remarked Sophie,"Are you sure, Elsie, that you will have room for so many?"
14566We''ll have some fun out of''em one of these times when it''s ready, eh, Wal?
14566Well daughter?
14566Well, I do n''t see how I can help it, mamma how could I bear to lose his affection?
14566Well, if I''d been a man and could do as I chose?
14566Were the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Law carried out by the North? 14566 Were you playing with the plate?
14566What are you about, sir? 14566 What are you all doing here at this time o''night, when honest folk should be a- bed?"
14566What can be done to save him? 14566 What can it have been?"
14566What did you think the first minute you saw her, grandpa?
14566What do you intend doing?
14566What does it mean?
14566What is it, darling?
14566What is it, mammy?
14566What is it, papa? 14566 What now is to be done in this emergency?"
14566What shall I do?
14566What shall I send you, daughter?
14566What thing, daughter?
14566What was it?
14566What were you doing in Mr. Lilburn''s apartments?
14566What were you doing there? 14566 What you larfin''at, Aunt Dicey?
14566What''s de fun, Aunt Dicey?
14566What''s de matter, honey?
14566What''s that?
14566What''s that?
14566What''s the news?
14566What''s the use of being so shy with a cousin?
14566What''s the use of getting up?
14566What''s the use of taking it so hard?
14566What, what does it all mean?
14566Whatever you think they would prefer, and would not that be a pony a- piece?
14566Where am I? 14566 Where is the cause of all this unseemly disturbance?"
14566Where''s Violet? 14566 Where''s that Dutch villain?"
14566Where, daughter? 14566 While there is life there is hope,"whispered Elsie,"who can say what God may do for us in answer to our prayers?"
14566Who are those?
14566Who dar? 14566 Who is it?
14566Who is there?
14566Who was it? 14566 Who?
14566Who?
14566Whose are they, Uncle Joe?
14566Why did n''t you begin sooner? 14566 Why do n''t you do like the rest of us, and leave them to mind their own affairs?"
14566Why do you say our graves? 14566 Why not petition Congress for those little favors?
14566Why not return with us and breakfast at Ion?
14566Why not stay and breakfast with us?
14566Why, Meta, what key is it? 14566 Why, do n''t you see, darkies?
14566Wife,Mr. Travilla said, turning to her,"your cousin and I are going to ride over to the Oaks immediately; will you go with us?"
14566Will they come here and hurt us?
14566Will you walk into the drawing- room sir?
14566Will you walk into the drawing- room? 14566 Will you walk into the library, gentlemen?
14566Will you, can you all forgive me?
14566With all my heart, little master; which way shall we go?
14566Yes, and whose will are you to do?
14566Yes, darling: and that was what you were thinking of, sitting here alone?
14566Yes, father; but oh what will you do? 14566 Yes, papa: but if it''s you?"
14566Yes, sir,said the child, holding out a small, plump hand,"What''s your name, little boy?"
14566Yes, what shall we do with him?
14566Yes,she said with a shudder, followed by a deep sigh,"and O Edward what may they not be doing to our poor people?
14566Yes; did n''t the note invite us to spend the day there?
14566Yes; where else? 14566 You are fond of children, Cal?"
14566You bring news, Martin?
14566You do n''t belong, do you, Cal?
14566You do n''t think the majority of those who use it feel any ill effects?
14566You do? 14566 You do?
14566You feel very unhappy when papa or mamma is offended with you, and can you bear your heavenly Father''s frown?
14566You have heard the particulars then?
14566You have other proof?
14566You will hardly dare stay here at night now?
14566You will not be anxious, little wife?
14566You will not refuse the poor dying man''s request, papa? 14566 You will of course employ Lucinda to teach your own?"
14566You''re not going to back out of it now?
14566You? 14566 You?
14566''Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?''
14566A jail might be more comfortable in some respects, eh, old boy?
14566A short pause, in which all three gazed intently at the scene of conflagration, then,"Do you see how the walls are tottering?"
14566A solemn thought, Art, and yet might not the same be said of any day or hour of our lives?"
14566And can you not trust Uncle Joe as your messenger?"
14566And they are really about to attack you,--those cowardly ruffians?
14566And they''ve been threatening and abusing you to- night?"
14566And why should you think they were hers?
14566And you, Enna?"
14566And you, Leland?"
14566And,"he added low and reverently,"are we not all in the keeping of Him without whom not one hair of our heads can fall to the ground?"
14566Are ye no afraid the folk might laugh?"
14566Are you all unhurt?"
14566Barton?"
14566Bill, shoot me through the head and put me out of this torment, will you?"
14566But did she ever tell you about any of her mother''s kin?"
14566But first what can I do for you?
14566But how did it happen?
14566But how did you get the door open and the plates off the shelf?"
14566But if these disguises are not yours, whose are they?
14566But must n''t I be punished?
14566But surely those were rare cases?"
14566But the captain''s voice was heard asking in stern tones,"What''s the cause of all this disturbance?
14566But the proofs: what are they?"
14566But what are your plans, Travilla?"
14566But what do they say?"
14566But what shall we wear, Lu?
14566But where is Boyd, that you say you are without a protector?"
14566But you, Calhoun?"
14566But, if I may ask, what will you do?
14566But,"with a glance at the wide- eyed little ones, looking on and listening in wonder and surprise,"can it be that you are the mother of all these?
14566Can I see him?
14566Can nothing be done?"
14566Can you tell us, sir?"
14566Carry them out, Fanny, do you hear?
14566Did n''t she act bravely?"
14566Did you know that?"
14566Dinah where is she?
14566Do n''t you like this nice big boat?"
14566Do not these texts answer both your queries?
14566Do these madmen realize that they are ruining their country?"
14566Do you intend to add to your poor mother''s troubles by your disobedience, and by making yourself sick?"
14566Do you know where he is?"
14566Do you not agree with me that she would make as lovely a bride to- day as she did ten years ago?"
14566Do you see them, wife?
14566Do you think he was right, papa?"
14566Do you think the fish will hear if I speak low?"
14566Do you?"
14566Does God say we must not go into dangerous places?"
14566Ed Travilla, you play with carpet- baggers, eh?
14566Eddie was at that moment saying to his father,"Papa, is n''t Phil Ross a very,_ very_ naughty boy, to be so saucy and disobedient to his mamma?"
14566Eddie?
14566Edward, do n''t you think it would be wise in him to leave for the present?"
14566Edward?"
14566Elsie answered, pressing her hand affectionately,"art we not sisters in Christ?
14566Elsie exclaimed,"but do you not think it must have been all a dream?"
14566Elsie explained, asking,"Would you like to help?"
14566Elsie laid aside her doll and stepping forward, said with a graceful little courtesy,"Good morning, sir, will you dismount and come in?
14566Grandpa, wo n''t you do it quick?"
14566Have I not everything to make me so?
14566Have you been long awake?"
14566Have you repented of that vow?
14566Have you repented?"
14566He dropped his knife and fork, his face fairly ablaze,"What-- what could make you think that, Rosie?
14566He returned the greeting, and taking a chair by Mrs. Conly''s side,"All well, mother?"
14566He will help you to bear--""My daughter, what is it?"
14566His arms were suddenly pinioned from behind while a deep voice grunted,"You vill, vill you?
14566How could any of us, for that matter?"
14566How could he ask the question trembling on his lips?
14566How could he bear it?
14566How could you think so ill of me?
14566How many of you can refrain from telling what mamma is to wear to- night?
14566How much money have you, Vi?"
14566How will that sound?"
14566I a Ku Klux?"
14566I disobeyed my father and shooted him; and ought n''t I to have a dreadful whipping?
14566I say Wal, what_ do_ you s''pose makes Travilla and Cousin Elsie so different from us?
14566I''m_ very_ glad to see you,"cried Adelaide, extending her hand,"but where is Elsie?"
14566Is it a fact?"
14566Is it a noble act for white men to steal from the poor ignorant black his mule, his arms, his crops, the fruit of his hard labor?"
14566Is n''t he hurt much?"
14566Is there anything in which I can assist you?"
14566Is your mother in?"
14566Jim, ye''ll mind?"
14566Kin you git um ready fo''den?"
14566Leland?"
14566Leland?"
14566Lilburn?"
14566Look at Elsie''s little family for instance; where can you find children ruled with a firmer hand, or more devotedly attached to their parents?"
14566Look here, Ed,"and Dick pulled out a pistol,"what d''ye think o''that?
14566Mamma are n''t you sorry for him?"
14566Mamma, oh mamma, did you hear Bruno talk?"
14566May I go speak to him?
14566May I, papa?"
14566May I?"
14566Meta''s face flushed deeply for a moment, but thinking the best plan would be to brave it out,"Is n''t it pretty?"
14566Miss Elsie; dogs neber come and detack folks dat''s sleepin''quietly in dere beds; does dey now?"
14566Mother, shall we not go?"
14566Mr. Travilla came in, asking,"Where is Eddie?"
14566Mrs. Leland heard of her friend''s efforts, and going over to Ion, asked,"Why did you not call on me?
14566My child, God reigns, and if God be for us, who can be against us?"
14566Nothing more was said for a moment, then rising to go,"I am then to consider my proposition declined?"
14566O Elsie, is he alive?
14566O Elsie, what shall I do?
14566O, mamma, was it_ your_ wedding?"
14566Oh what shall we do?
14566Oh, where are you, my own mamma?"
14566Oh, will they come?
14566Please mamma, do n''t think I want to be naughty, asking it?"
14566Shall grandpa do it?"
14566Shall we invite our friends for this evening, Edward?"
14566She is worthy of her descent from the old Whigs of Scotland; eh, Travilla?"
14566She looked at him a little anxiously,"Is it quite safe for you?"
14566Since they have taken to beating and shooting whites as well as blacks, women as well as men, who shall say that we are safe?
14566The frightened inmates, startled from their sleep, cry out in alarm, and a man''s voice asks,"Who''s there?"
14566The whole thing, I suppose, was quite original?"
14566Then half starting up,"Tell me, oh tell me, was-- was-- Mr. Travilla injured?"
14566Then seating herself and taking the child on her lap,"What is wrong with my dear little daughter?"
14566There should be some one to look after the plantations here, and upon whom but myself should that duty devolve?"
14566There was a little pause, Vi nestling close in her mother''s arms; then with a quiver in her voice,"Mamma,"she sighed,"will you ever trust me again?"
14566They certainly deserve no remembrance from us; but how do you feel about it?"
14566They did not hear their mother''s step till she was close at hand asking in her own sweet, gentle tones,"My darlings, had you a pleasant time?"
14566Travilla, uncle, shall we make an opening here in our breastworks?"
14566Vi missed her from the table, and at prayers, and going up to Mrs. Carrington, asked,"Is Meta sick, Aunt Sophie?"
14566Vi?"
14566Was n''t that a jolly birthday present, Dick?
14566Was not theirs a land of free speech-- for the aristocratic class to which they undoubtedly belonged?)
14566Well, Prilla,"as the girl reappeared,"what is it?
14566What do you say, Ed?"
14566What do you say, Mary?"
14566What do you say, Travilla?"
14566What hand fired the shot?"
14566What have I done to deserve it?"
14566What is it?
14566What mischief have they been at in the quarter, I wonder?"
14566What news?"
14566What part shall I help you to?"
14566What say you, sir?"
14566What you want?"
14566What''s in that closet?"
14566What''s the matter?"
14566Where are our children?"
14566Who do you think they''re for?"
14566Who''s this groaning at such an awful rate?
14566Who''s your captain?"
14566Whose will did he do?"
14566Why did n''t he risk his life the other day, to save your boy from drowning?"
14566Why yes, Phil, to be sure; how came you here when you ought to be at your lessons?"
14566Why, what''s all that, Pomp?"
14566Will not that be better?"
14566Will you give me the pleasure of your company?"
14566Will you have a glass?"
14566Will you not tell me?
14566With another slight caress she asked,"Do you think I love you, Eddie?"
14566With streaming eyes she turned to Elsie and repeated the words, adding,"Do you think he would come?"
14566Wo n''t you come wis me and speak to my mamma and papa?"
14566Wo n''t you show them to us?"
14566Wo n''t you, papa?"
14566Would you like to have Anna give lessons to your girls in music and drawing?"
14566Would you-- would you be willing to employ one at my expense, and give the situation to Lucinda Foster?"
14566Yes, it is my will this time, but as God bids children honor and obey their parents, is it not his will also?"
14566[ A] Now, sir, who was it that really put you under the rule of your former slaves, if you are there?"
14566[ C]"And who,"they asked,"are responsible for their success in obtaining the positions which enable them thus to rob the community?"
14566_ has_ you dot a wee little piggie in your pocket?
14566ai nt she fas''asleep side o''you, Miss Elsie?"
14566and did n''t Yankee abolitionists come down here interfering with our institutions and enticing our negroes to run away, or something worse?"
14566and how came they here?"
14566and how could he do a whole winter without your sister?
14566and how is that?"
14566and what are you doing with it?"
14566and what are you doing with it?"
14566and what will you say?"
14566and who, pray, helped you?
14566and wo n''t you teach me too?"
14566and would you be released?"
14566and your father if he is here?"
14566are they for us?"
14566are we not told to lay down our lives for the brethren?
14566asked Mr. Travilla, starting up to a sitting posture, and throwing an arm about the child,"what has alarmed my pet?"
14566asked the mother in a tone of forced calmness, a terrible pang shooting through her heart,"your father?
14566asked the two young men in a breath,"what strange deception has been practiced upon us?"
14566blind and nearly helpless as I am?"
14566burn our houses about our ears?"
14566but-- where did you-- aren''t they my grandma''s things?
14566ca n''t other people have pretty things?"
14566ca n''t we have holidays now that we are going away so soon?"
14566can we do anything to save them?"
14566can you not come home now?"
14566can you talk?"
14566cried Horace, Jr.,"what could be more base, mean, or cowardly?"
14566cried Sophie,"what, what has happened?"
14566cried Virginia and Isadore Conly, girls of ten and twelve,"mamma, you''ll never think of declining?"
14566dare he risk its torment throughout the endless ages of eternity?
14566dat one de Kluxes?"
14566did n''t some of the Northern States pass laws in direct opposition to it?
14566did n''t you see de horns, an''de big red tongues waggin''?"
14566did you break it?"
14566did you hit the mark?"
14566do n''t you hear him crying way off in the grounds?"
14566do n''t you wish you could shoot?"
14566do n''t you wish you had one?
14566do they love Jesus?"
14566do you want to murder me outright?
14566exclaimed Meta,"Does n''t anybody ever?"
14566fight or fly?"
14566he asked himself, to go groping his way through life in utter darkness?
14566he asked himself,"what shall I do to recover their good opinion?"
14566he asked, looking a little anxiously at his wife;"not sick, I hope?"
14566he asked,"can I go at once to the room?"
14566he cried in an excited whisper,"do my eyes deceive me?
14566he exclaimed in a hurt, indignant tone,"I a midnight assassin stealing upon my helpless victims under cover of darkness and a hideous disguise?
14566here I am: who''s afraid?
14566how many can I trust to keep a secret?"
14566is n''t he a dear little boy?"
14566is she gone again?"
14566is that the way your American fowls behave at table?"
14566know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
14566mean dirty rascals, what mischief have you been at now, eh?"
14566or are there really some white objects creeping slowly along yonder road?"
14566said Meta hurrying up, heated and out of breath with running,"Are n''t they beauties?"
14566said Vi,"do n''t you think so, Elsie?"
14566she can not have gone out of the house, surely?"
14566she cried, with a gush of tears,"will you forgive me your death?
14566she said,"But are you unhurt?"
14566sighed the mother at length,"have you no word of hope to speak?"
14566so you''re the brave fellow that shot his father?
14566that German physicians attribute one half of the deaths among the young men of that country to tobacco?
14566that men grow dyspeptic, hypochondriac, insane, delirious from its use?
14566that the French Polytechnic Institute had to prohibit its use on account of its effects on the mind?
14566turning to Mr. Daly,"has a man a right to a choice in such a matter as this?
14566von Dutch scoundrel?
14566were any of the raiders recognized?"
14566what am I to do with him?"
14566what are you doing down here, Ward?
14566what can I do to comfort you?"
14566what do you know about it?"
14566what meant this bitter weeping?
14566what shall I do?
14566what shall I do?"
14566what''s the matter?"
14566where is that Dutch scoundrel that dared accuse me of cheating?"
14566where''ll we take''em?"
14566who am I then?"
14566who are you?"
14566who but the Democrats of the South?
14566who is it?"
14566who was right this time?"
14566why did he hesitate to give the signal?"
14566why have you not brought the children as your mistress directed?"
14566why this is home; is n''t it, mamma?"
14566will not these do quite as well?"
14566without Jesus''love?"
14566you ca n''t come back home again?"
14566you helped make them?
14875''Even the wind and the sea obey him,''she whispered to Violet, who was asking with pale trembling lips,"Mamma, mamma, what will become of us?"
14875''Proximity, eligible, adjacent;''what do you mean by those words, Miss Fisk?
14875A hoax was it?
14875A new dolly for me?
14875About my change of views and my oratory? 14875 Ah, Edward, how can we spare her-- our darling, our first- born?"
14875Ah, captain, do you not know that you have the reputation of being a naughty man? 14875 Allowed?
14875And Aunt Enna, mamma?
14875And did they?
14875And now what can I do for you? 14875 And she wo n''t be blind, mamma?"
14875And these bonny lads and lasses; can they be the little bairns of eight years ago? 14875 And very hard for me to stay away from my dear children; but what does the Bible say?
14875And what of this?
14875And why not, pray?
14875And will they come home soon, grandpa?
14875And you do n''t equal him as a shot yet, eh?
14875And you''re willing to let him have me, are n''t you, dear?
14875Are you Miss Day?
14875Are you afraid of thunder, Aunt Elsie?
14875Are you fully satisfied now on all the points?
14875Are you quite sure?
14875Atmospheric influences have often a great deal to do with these things; do you not find it so?
14875Aunt Louise, you will not think of it surely?
14875Betray you? 14875 But do you s''pose now, they''d be so outrageously unreasonable as to expect a fellow to be quite perfect?"
14875But her eyes?
14875But if his name suited, would you marry him without loving him?
14875But is it mamma''s baby, mammy?
14875But was it right? 14875 But what about it?"
14875But what are we to do? 14875 But what is it?"
14875But why did you not let us know you were coming? 14875 But why not?"
14875But why should one so lovely, so devoted a Christian, be visited with so sore a trial? 14875 But why?"
14875But without seeming to do so?
14875But would that avail, since,''No faith with heretics,''has been for centuries the motto of the''infallible, unchangeable,''Church of Rome?
14875But you will stay to tea?
14875But you will talk to her, mamma?
14875But, mamma,expostulated Isadore,"surely you would not be willing that we should associate with any one who was not of irreproachable character?"
14875But, what is this?
14875Cal, you are not in too great haste for that?
14875Can we go and speak to her?
14875Can you put me into your wagon and drive me to Ion?
14875Could n''t he have kept me from falling?
14875Could n''t it be pulled and not come out?
14875Could n''t my little girl pluck up courage enough to have it out?
14875Could you give me an introduction?
14875Cousin Arthur? 14875 Darling Vi,"she whispered,"you love Jesus, do n''t you?"
14875Dear me, Elsie, how can you take so much trouble with your children?
14875Dear me, why are n''t we as rich as the Travillas?
14875Deliberate when somebody was drowning? 14875 Did I ever see this before?
14875Did he hurt you very much?
14875Did you ever see a mermaid, Rosie?
14875Do n''t I look like it?
14875Do we not?
14875Do you feel any burns, bruises? 14875 Do you insist upon knowing?"
14875Do you know his character?
14875Do you mean that I may speak now?
14875Do you mean that it is convenient, because of being so near this house, Miss Fisk?
14875Do you think it will be a gust, grandpa?
14875Do you think she would be willing to come here to see me?
14875Does Virgy know?
14875Fabled? 14875 Getting one ready for to- morrow?"
14875Give him a part of it, ca n''t you?
14875Gladsome? 14875 God,"said Herbert,"wo n''t he, papa?"
14875Good- morning, my darlings,he said, giving and receiving caresses,"but what are you talking about?"
14875Got away safe this time, did n''t we, Grizzy? 14875 Grandpa, has anybody been telling you anything?"
14875Grandpa,she cried, springing to his embrace,"Oh, is Lily better?"
14875Had she them on when she fell?
14875Happy?
14875Have n''t you, Jared? 14875 Have you the doctor''s address?"
14875Have you then a greater right to imperil her soul''s salvation?
14875Horace, is it true? 14875 Horace,"he said,"ca n''t you stay with me?"
14875How are your eyes affected?
14875How can I? 14875 How can we?
14875How could she speak so of her own mother?
14875How d''ye do, Enna?
14875How do you know she is meant there?
14875How long will it take you girls to don your finery?
14875How long?
14875How soon are you going?
14875How would you like to hear a story while you sit here sewing by my side?
14875How?
14875Hurt, sah?
14875I am choosing for myself, marrying of my own free will; is not that sufficient?
14875I have not said so; but you did n''t tell me, I suppose, how Molly assured you her cousin had no need of consolation?
14875I will try, mamma,she said,"and you too will ask God to help me?"
14875I''m sick of it,chimed in Miss Reed,"what difference does it make what you believe, if you''re only sincere and live right?"
14875I-- I do n''t believe you''d be a burglar or a thief, but----"Well?
14875In a cottage home of our own; shall it not be, papa?
14875Is Dick well? 14875 Is grandpa suffering much?"
14875Is he a nice kind old man, like our doctor at Ion?
14875Is it God, mamma? 14875 Is it a new dress for Vi, mammy?"
14875Is it decided, mamma, that we take passage in the steamer with the Travillas?
14875Is it my mother you mean? 14875 Is it so?"
14875Is it? 14875 Is mamma, dear mamma, very sick?"
14875Is n''t it delightful to be at home again, after all those years in the convent?
14875Is n''t it dreadful,said Virginia,"to think that that fall down- stairs has made her a cripple for life?
14875Is she hurt? 14875 Is that so?
14875Is your mother at the Crags?
14875Isa, did n''t they promise Aunt Louise that they would not interfere with your religion?
14875Know of him? 14875 Lake?"
14875Let them all go and leave me behind? 14875 Lily?"
14875Mac''s right here at the door, ready saddled and bridled, and----"Go for the doctor?
14875Mamma sick?
14875Mamma sick?
14875Mamma, dear mamma, what is wrong?
14875Mamma, do n''t you wish they''d be a little wild?
14875Mamma, is n''t it grand?
14875Mamma, we must n''t tell tales to you?
14875Mamma, what do you want with us?
14875Mamma, what does it mean?
14875Mamma, what is it?
14875Mamma, what shall I do without you? 14875 Mamma, who will take care of them?"
14875Mamma, wo n''t you''vite her to come here?
14875May I ask why?
14875Molly, my child, how are you to- day?
14875Mother, did you see what a pretty watch she had?
14875My darlings,she said, returning their endearments,"can you not feel willing to spare your mother for a little while to poor, suffering Aunt Enna?"
14875My dear friend, how can I do less, when so much of their future welfare, for time and for eternity, depends upon my faithfulness?
14875No claim on her? 14875 No, but she never says----""Right away?
14875No, sir; what is it?
14875No,she said,"I hope not; but what is it that you and my husband would have me do?"
14875No; no indeed, Vi; how could it be? 14875 Nobody there?
14875Nor pouting either, I suppose? 14875 Not for you or me, or anybody in particular; at least not anybody that''s living now; because we were n''t made then; so how could he?"
14875Now what have you to tell me? 14875 O Cousin Elsie,"cried the girl, her eyes shining,"do you think I could ever write books, or paint pictures?
14875O Isa, have you forgotten the second commandment? 14875 O Molly you will not think of staying behind?"
14875O cousin, could you ask me to be so selfish?
14875O mamma, mamma, what shall I do?
14875O, boys can you hear her, too? 14875 Oh what is to be done?"
14875Oh what''s the use?
14875Oh where''s my bird?
14875Oh, Eddie dear, would mamma or papa like that?
14875Oh, Elsie, did you have a pleasant ride? 14875 Oh, Molly, are you much hurt?
14875Oh, are n''t you glad? 14875 Oh, are they?"
14875Oh, darling, you may get well even yet?
14875Oh, did he make you those glasses? 14875 Oh, do you think so?
14875Oh, he''s at boarding- school, do n''t you know?
14875Oh, mamma, it wo n''t have to be you, will it?
14875Oh, mamma, no; how could we do without you?
14875Oh, my darling, have those sweet eyes closed forever?
14875Oh, what can I do,she cried,"how can I leave you alone in such pain?
14875Oh, what''s the use of giving our money?
14875Oh, why do n''t papa and mamma come?
14875Oh, yes,she acknowledged, then brightening,"but we have three brothers, and you only two; so it''s even all around after all, is n''t it, papa?"
14875Only an hour, mamma? 14875 Or as Aunt Louise, why do n''t you say?"
14875Or, was it a woman?
14875Ought I, mamma?
14875Ought you not? 14875 Our dear grandpa, mamma?"
14875Ours, mammy? 14875 Ours?
14875Papa, papa, may we go now and look at it?
14875Poor child, you must be hurt,said Calhoun, laying her gently on a sofa,"but no bones broken, I hope?"
14875Poor child; what is it?
14875Ranger?
14875See him? 14875 Shall I go and look for him, papa?"
14875Shall I not give you your breakfast first?
14875Shall mamma have some toast made for her?
14875Shall we not, little wife?
14875Should you not like to go?
14875So I would, what''ll you sell him for?
14875So am I, daughter; and I think Vi means to ask his help too?
14875So many that you have not a moment to spare for the father you are going to leave so soon?
14875So you''ve heard about it? 14875 Sold him?"
14875Such a pity; is n''t it?
14875Suppose I do n''t believe it is all inspired?
14875Suppose grandpa, mother and Aunt Enna, go first to the Oaks; and we younger ones to Ion?
14875Sure enough, where is she?
14875Sure of what?
14875That is all very well, but I think----"Well?
14875That is when one is not very seriously ill, I suppose?
14875The baby?
14875The story of it?
14875The third? 14875 Then you decline to attempt to do anything for her?"
14875Then you will not care for company?
14875There''s a tap at the door; will you please open it?
14875They live splendidly, I suppose?
14875True, but what''s to hinder us from following? 14875 Was Aunt Louise angry?"
14875Was it the bird Ranger killed?
14875We need n''t be''f''aid, mamma?
14875We want it ourselves, and your mamma has such loads and loads of money; has n''t she, Eddie?
14875Well, daughter, who do you think should nurse her? 14875 Well, do n''t you remember that''s the way Herbie looked when he first came?"
14875Well, how would you like to emigrate to Kansas and begin life anew; away from all old associates? 14875 Well, what are you going to do next?"
14875Well, what''s wantin''?
14875Well,said Miss Reed,"if he was God, why did n''t he say so?"
14875Well?
14875Were n''t you afraid the first time you went?
14875What can I do for her?
14875What can mamma want? 14875 What can we do, Elsie?"
14875What did you buy it for, papa?
14875What do you know about it, Archie?
14875What do you know of the man?
14875What do you say to the plan, little wife?
14875What do you think about it, dears?
14875What do you think of him?
14875What does he say?
14875What does she say?
14875What for, Vi? 14875 What for?"
14875What have you to tell us, Vi?
14875What is it, daughter?
14875What is it, little wife?
14875What is it, little wife?
14875What is it, mother?
14875What is it, papa?
14875What is it? 14875 What is it?"
14875What is the matter, Isa?
14875What is too bad, Phil?
14875What is your text, Rosie?
14875What little one?
14875What news of Molly?
14875What shall I do about it, mamma?
14875What shall you do with yours?
14875What was that woman whispering to you?
14875What you s''pose dey''s gwine to do for sheltah for dem po''chillen?
14875What''s de mattah?
14875What''s it all about?
14875What''s the matter with papa''s darlings?
14875What''s the matter with you?
14875What''s the trouble? 14875 What''s the use of bothering ourselves about it?"
14875What, what does it mean?
14875What, what is that?
14875What?
14875When may I begin, mamma?
14875When you pray, do you kneel before that-- that----"Crucifix? 14875 Where can he have gone?"
14875Where is Isa?
14875Where is Mr. Edward now?
14875Where is that?
14875Where''s Phil?
14875Where''s Ranger?
14875Where''s mamma, mammy?
14875Which?
14875Who is it?
14875Who is to explain it?
14875Who taught you that, pet?
14875Why Herbie what ails you?
14875Why ca n''t she send you, too, instead of hiring a stranger to go with me?
14875Why do n''t you do that to me? 14875 Why not?"
14875Why was he suffered to escape? 14875 Why, what is this?"
14875Why?
14875Will I do for an escort?
14875Will he bite?
14875Will you come?
14875Wo n''t you take us another walk, cousin?
14875Wo n''t''oo tum and pay wis Herbie?
14875Would you recommend the seashore?
14875Would you take me for a rogue?
14875Yes, and what possible objection can you have to mine? 14875 Yes, do let them have them, Phil,"urged his wife,"where would be the use of keeping the things back after spending your money for them?"
14875Yes, yes,but the tears fell fast, and"Oh, what shall I do without you?"
14875Yes, yes; but Enna?
14875Yes, yes; but what is to be done now? 14875 Yes, your face is; and your hands-- scorched?
14875Yes,said Lucy slowly,"but the mystery to me is, how you can keep that in mind all the time, and how you can contrive always to do the right thing?"
14875Yes,said Virginia, with more candor than politeness,"Josie and I are all sufficient for each other; are we not,_ mon amie_?"
14875Yes,she said,"the thunder of his power who can understand?"
14875Yes; but do you like his looks?
14875Yes; do n''t you know? 14875 Yes; if she was Elsie Dinsmore, and lived at Roselands-- how many years ago?
14875You are making assertions,said Isadore bridling,"but where are your proofs?"
14875You do not? 14875 You would not wish them to become Romanists?"
14875You''ve been talking quite awhile, have n''t you?
14875You''ve given up that dreadful habit? 14875 if the dentist hurt her much?"
14875Ah, those were gladsome days to us; were they not?"
14875And the bird is n''t being hurt now, you know;''twon''t ever be hurt any more; will it, Ed?"
14875And was it not wise?
14875And we''re not going back in a hurry, are we, dear?
14875Are n''t you glad, Elsie?"
14875Are there any in our sea here, Cousin Ronald?"
14875Are you determined to be quite obstinate in this thing?"
14875Are you not residing somewhere in the West?"
14875At last she overheard her father saying to Eddie,"What has become of Lester Leland?
14875At length, rising and approaching his sister,"Do you know that young man, Louise?"
14875Aunt Elsie, do you really think it wo n''t come soon?"
14875Besides should I grudge him one of the many darlings he has given me?
14875Besides would n''t there be some danger of overwhelming your cousins?"
14875But if mamma were here, do n''t you know what she would say, little sister?"
14875But in what can I help you, Vi?
14875But mamma, what shall I reap by keeping on with this?"
14875But mother, how can she do without me?"
14875But must I have it out?"
14875But now, what of the girl, doctor?"
14875But pray, sir, what is the objection?"
14875But see here,"he added, growing grave again,"whose dog was it?"
14875But where are we going?"
14875But-- Gordon, I can never thank you sufficiently for this kindness; will you add to it by keeping the thing to yourself for the present?
14875Ca n''t you lend your mother for a few weeks, dears?"
14875Can it be?"
14875Can we go alone?
14875Can you keep a secret?"
14875Come lads,"to Harold and Herbert,"will you go along?"
14875Conly?"
14875Could it be that she was dying?
14875Did you ever do it?"
14875Did you not receive my invitation?"
14875Do n''t you know it''s an extremely hazardous thing for a man to attempt to rescue a drowning person?
14875Do n''t you see how your naughtiness astonishes them?
14875Do you and papa keep up the shooting lessons, master Eddie?"
14875Do you remember the rest of it?"
14875Do you think you will be willing to do so?"
14875Dr. Barton, where are you going?"
14875Edward?"
14875Elsie and Vi felt a lively interest in Gertrude''s prospects, and had many questions to ask about her betrothed;--"Was he young?
14875Elsie asked compassionately, going to her and taking the cold hand in hers,"anything that I can relieve or help you to bear?"
14875Elsie sprang to her side with a kindly, eager,"Let me do it, wo n''t you?"
14875Elsie turned to him with both hands extended, a smile on her lips, a tear in her eye,"My dear father, how are you?"
14875Elsie understood how it was; for had she not known Enna from a child?
14875Elsie''s troop had nothing but smiles, caresses and loving words for her, and tender, anxious inquiries about"Sister Elsie; if the tooth were out?"
14875Elsie, do you think anything''s happened?"
14875Gert will go too, wo n''t she?"
14875Gertrude, are you mad?
14875Gertrude, do you love that man?"
14875Hal and Archie, what''s wrong between you now?"
14875Have you spoken to her yet?
14875He is a wild, reckless fellow, fond of drink, gambles----""And what of it?"
14875He was stroking and patting it, saying,"Poor fellow, what kind of a dog are you?"
14875Her mother''s shrill voice recalled her to herself,"Why do you stand there?
14875How can you think they are good?"
14875How many of you young folks want to go to Ion in the first division?"
14875How they have grown and increased in number too?"
14875I am sure I may trust you not to blazon this matter abroad?"
14875I trust you will not consider it your duty to betray me to mamma?"
14875If not, was it not his place to inquire?
14875Is Sally Gibson coming soon?"
14875Is her trouble anything it would be in my power to relieve?"
14875Is n''t it, Ranger?"
14875Is she killed?"
14875Is she rich still?
14875Is there a regular engagement between you?"
14875Is this all you wanted to say to me?"
14875It is very kind, but what shall I do about it?
14875It was some moments before Sally spoke again, then it was only to ask,"Will you have your dinner now, mother?"
14875Mamma, did you know?"
14875Mamma, do n''t look so sorry at me; how can I help being angry at people that say unkind things to you?"
14875Mamma----""Said it?"
14875Now, tell me, please, if you know anything about these Gibsons?"
14875Noyes?"
14875O Isadore, how could you turn Papist and then try to turn Violet?"
14875Oh, Isa, can you think it right to hide it from her-- your own mother?"
14875Opening the door of the drawing- room where the family were gathered:"Wife,"he said cheerfully,"will you please step here a moment?"
14875Perhaps he was ill. Oh, had he risked his health, perhaps his life in saving hers?
14875Please tell us another?"
14875Pray where was that church before the Reformation?"
14875Rosie would enjoy going, but would it be kind to you or the boys, or Molly?"
14875See, Kate, is n''t it a beauty?"
14875Seek your own pleasure and profit, and let others take care of themselves?"
14875Shall I call them?"
14875Shall I tell you about it?
14875Shall mamma spread another piece?"
14875She came at once and followed him down the hall, asking,"What is it, Edward?"
14875She did not ask; her lips refused to speak his name, and would nobody tell her?
14875She had n''t been saying anything kind to you?"
14875She has n''t declined, surely?"
14875So Aunt Louise does not know?
14875Tears coursed down Molly''s cheeks also, and Eddie, hardly less overcome than his sister, asked tremulously,"How soon may we expect them, grandpa?"
14875That''s all, I believe; enough to satisfy you, I hope?"
14875The dip of an oar, followed instantly by a discordant laugh and a shrill voice asking,"What are you sittin''there for so still and quiet?
14875The instant they turned to do so, the captain, addressing Harold, artfully inquired,"Do you know that young lady?"
14875Then aloud and sneeringly,"Pray what do you mean by the true riches?"
14875Then aloud to Violet, as the governess left the room,"I say, Vi, does your mamma reprove you for saying right away?"
14875Then arose the question"what should the end bring to them-- herself and her beloved children?"
14875Then to the half- crazed woman,"Where is your baby?
14875They are from your neighborhood, I believe?"
14875Vi''s face was full of distress;"Isa,"she said,"may I ask you a question?"
14875Vi, would you talk to your mamma as my children do to me?"
14875Was Isa crazy?
14875Was n''t Jesus God?"
14875Was not that a good and praiseworthy motive?"
14875Well, my little Vi?
14875Well, what now?"
14875Were n''t you frightened?"
14875What can it mean?"
14875What do you all think of the little sister?"
14875What has become of the Smiths?"
14875What is it to come to him?
14875What''s its name, papa?"
14875What''s that they gave you?"
14875What''s this?
14875Where are they?"
14875Where did you ever learn it?"
14875Where is he now?"
14875Where''s Gertrude?"
14875Where''s the use of supposing he''s going to lose his money?"
14875Which way now?"
14875Whose dog''s that?"
14875Why did he let me fall?
14875Why should n''t I smoke as well as my father?
14875Why?"
14875Will you not undertake his cause?"
14875Wo n''t he, Vi?
14875Wo n''t you come and play with me?
14875Wo n''t you come in?"
14875Wo n''t you go with me?"
14875Wo n''t you introduce me?"
14875Wo n''t you stay now for the rest of the day?"
14875Would you like a gallop before breakfast to- morrow morning?"
14875Would your mamma wish you to?"
14875Yet who can fail to see in the picture of Babylon the Great so graphically drawn in Revelation, a faithful portraiture of Rome?
14875about my life there?"
14875and how could they get it done while they were away?"
14875and was not the Virgin Mary his mother?''"
14875and will she marry him?"
14875any doubts or perplexities to be cleared away?"
14875any questions to ask?
14875are n''t you afraid of her?"
14875are ye daft?
14875asked Molly, half incredulously, half hopefully,"what can I do chained here?"
14875asked the mother,"Molly, Molly, how did you come to be so awkward?"
14875can she have been in the water?
14875can you see her?"
14875can you see it too?"
14875can you think I would?
14875could you b''lieve I''d do that to my mamma?"
14875cried Calhoun in surprise,"do you not think there have been and are some real Christians in the Romish Church?"
14875cried Molly indignantly;"can you doubt for a moment that that child is in heaven?"
14875cried Mr. Lilburn, putting himself to his utmost speed to overtake Harold in time to prevent him from plunging into the sea,"are ye mad?
14875cried Vi, who was present and had been an eager but hitherto silent listener,"wo n''t you accept Aunt Lucy''s invitation?"
14875did I hear wheels?"
14875did you know her when she was a little girl?"
14875did you live near Roselands?"
14875did you think your mother would want to sleep when her child was in pain?"
14875do n''t you hear her sing?"
14875do you know whereof you affirm?"
14875do you then intend to decline going along?"
14875does God make it?"
14875exclaimed Eddie,"why where?"
14875exclaimed Elsie, clasping her hands in a sort of ecstasy of delight,"oh, are n''t papa and mamma good?
14875exclaimed Miss Reed, who had not seen or heard of Enna before, turning to Virginia,"does she belong in the house?
14875exclaimed Mr. Ross;"but what happy chance brought you here?
14875exclaimed Mr. Travilla in alarm,"is it Elsie?
14875exclaimed her father, in anger and astonishment,"is this your gratitude to him for saving you from being the wife of a gambler and murderer?
14875exclaimed little Elsie,"oh, may I go to her?"
14875exclaimed the girl,"and will he not hear me at last?"
14875he asked;"can you tell us what has become of Ranger?"
14875he interrupted impatiently,"who cares for him?
14875he said,"I hate that Ranger, do n''t you, Vi?"
14875he was still her preceptor in her art studies; did he not know that she was well enough to resume them?
14875his mother said with a start and shudder, pointing to his singed locks,"oh, where has the child been?"
14875how can I help wishing it when I know it''s the only way to be saved?"
14875how could you be so hasty in so important a matter?"
14875how does she bear it?"
14875interrupted Gertrude, with a twinkle of fun in her eye,"why do n''t you say''used the expression''?
14875is it some theological discussion between your cousins and yourself?"
14875is it true that the vessel is on fire?"
14875is it worth looking at?"
14875is she much hurt?"
14875may I have the benefit of it?"
14875not compelled?
14875not ordered?"
14875or did she lose it all by the war?"
14875or her the bliss he has taken her to?
14875shall I go for the doctor?"
14875shall I soon see my own sweet home, and dear brothers and sisters?"
14875she cried, clasping her hands, and lifting her troubled eyes to her cousin''s face,"have you-- have you become a papist?"
14875she cried, fixing her wild eyes on Elsie,"who-- who are you?"
14875she exclaimed at length,"how many times a day do you pore over that book?"
14875she exclaimed at length,"what difference does it make whether we believe in his divinity or deny it?"
14875she exclaimed,"and is it good news?"
14875she said,"do n''t you see how you''re making the child cry?
14875she said,"was n''t it fearful?
14875she was asking again,"will you take a ride in this pretty boat with me?"
14875should n''t we have mamma with us the first time?"
14875should she be sent away from all who love her, just because she is unfortunate?"
14875shouted back the other,"dat you Jim Yates?
14875so sorry papa was coming home, eh?"
14875they all exclaim,"O, mammy, whose is it?
14875they asked;"why does n''t Uncle Ross do as papa does?"
14875truly, now?"
14875was he a good man?
14875was he handsome?
14875was he here?"
14875was it a nice letter?"
14875was it just and generous to vent your anger upon a poor little innocent girl who had no mother and no father there to defend her?"
14875what could it mean?"
14875what detained you so long?"
14875what did he do to you?"
14875what is it?"
14875what think ye o''that now, my lads?
14875what was that?
14875what''s that?"
14875what''s the matter here?"
14875what''s your name, little girl?
14875when she will not disavow them, but maintains that she has always done right?
14875where did you get it?
14875where did you leave it?"
14875where''s your drowning man?"
14875whereabouts are you injured, do you think?"
14875which is that?
14875who can say, however fair his view, Through what sad scenes his path may lie?"
14875who is he?"
14875who will take care of us, and hear our lessons and teach us to be good?"
14875will you never have done with this continued crying?"
14875you gwine let young Marse Eddie die, when he done gone saved yo''baby from burnin''up?"
14875you''re never going back to it?"
14874''And what will you do with your liberty, Uncle Joe?'' 14874 ''Cause He so tired?
14874A trick of the imagination, I think, dearest; but from whence did the sounds seem to come?
14874Ah, but how to get me there? 14874 Ah, but if you ca n''t, you ca n''t; how will you obey when you get no orders?"
14874Ah, is n''t he a beauty? 14874 Ah, who would n''t?"
14874Ah, you told him then?
14874Ah? 14874 All very satisfactory, my little friend, was it not?"
14874Am I all right, mamma?
14874An artery?
14874And alone?
14874And am not I a fortunate woman, too?
14874And could he suppose that I would have blood wrung from my poor people that a few more dollars might find their way into my purse?
14874And mamma and sister Elsie, why are you both crying so?
14874And now what next?
14874And so papa has stolen a march upon me and risen first?
14874And so you have already been teasing poor mamma for stories?
14874And so you''re going to throw yourself away on old Travilla?
14874And that without even consulting your father? 14874 And the Oaks has escaped?"
14874And wade in the water like mamma did when she was a little girl?
14874And what answer did you give them?
14874And what do you call your own dear native land?
14874And what is it all about? 14874 And what should you say was the needful preparation?"
14874And what would you do in that case?
14874And you are glad to have mine? 14874 And you did consent to the use of hounds?"
14874And you do not fear to trust me, my little friend?
14874And you really are in love with him?
14874And you, auntie?
14874And you, papa?
14874And----"And what?
14874Angry with me, my dearest? 14874 Any admittance?"
14874Are not your arms tired, little wife?
14874Are we poor now, papa?
14874Are we to take a trip?
14874Are you expecting to be exchanged?
14874Are you mad? 14874 Are you much fatigued, Elsie dear?"
14874Are you not pleased?
14874Are you not too much fatigued, daughter? 14874 Are you ready, my dear?"
14874Are you suffering much, dearest mother?
14874Arthur, is it? 14874 Aunt, how did you decide in regard to that investment you wrote to consult me about?"
14874Baby?
14874Bad news from home?
14874Been getting Dr. Balis to patch up a wound, eh, stranger?
14874Bloodhounds on our track? 14874 But Miss Adelaide, you will still stand my friend?"
14874But are you not afraid of crushing your dress?
14874But can not cure you?
14874But have you the necessary data for our estimates?
14874But how could you tell where it entered or where it passed out, doctor?
14874But how is that, mammy? 14874 But it is likely I shall not live another year?
14874But mamma''s note to you?
14874But may he not have escaped, or have been pardoned out? 14874 But might it not be well to have another search?"
14874But what about going home? 14874 But what shall I do with Spriggs?"
14874But what''s this, Mr. Walter, that I hear the servants saying aboot a fight wi''the United States troops?
14874But what, what is going on there?
14874But when may he not return?
14874But why leave us at all to- night, auntie and Lottie?
14874But you are not uneasy when I am in such good hands, papa?
14874But you do n''t object, papa?
14874But you would rather have me go, papa?
14874But you''re for the Union, papa, are you not?
14874But, papa, how then am I to do my duty by these poor ignorant creatures? 14874 But, papa, we ca n''t spare her-- you know we can''t-- and why should you go and give her away to Mr. Travilla or anybody?"
14874But, papa, you do n''t think it can come to war, a civil war, in our dear country? 14874 By the way,"Mr. Dinsmore remarked carelessly,"does Uncle Joe belong to you?
14874Can it ever be restored?
14874Can you bear the excitement?
14874Cash down?
14874Certainly, if it suits you, Rose,replied Mr. Dinsmore;"and Elsie;"he added,"will you go, daughter?"
14874Certainly, my dear child, can you suppose I would ever think of permitting you to go alone?
14874Choose what?
14874Could I-- could any father-- do less for his own beloved child?
14874Could n''t you? 14874 D''ye know anybody named Dinsmore?
14874Dat all, darlin''?
14874Dear mamma, does n''t that comfort you a little?
14874Did Harold come?
14874Did ever father have such a dear daughter?
14874Did we tease and trouble you, mamma?
14874Did you hear that?
14874Do n''t I, my daughter? 14874 Do n''t you admire Miss Durand?"
14874Do n''t you thank me for bringing her back then, my little brother?
14874Do you begin to feel old and decrepit,_ mon père_?
14874Do you expect even- handed justice here?
14874Do you hear?
14874Do you know, little wife, what day this is?
14874Do you think it advisable, papa? 14874 Do you think it can be possible that she is really and truly in love with him?"
14874Does He lub niggahs, missus?
14874Does Mrs. Schilling still live opposite to you, Aunt Wealthy?
14874Does it satisfy you, my little wife?
14874Does my toilet please you, my friend?
14874Does not this news allay your fears for him?
14874Does you want me, darlin''?
14874Doubt?
14874Duncan, you are a Christian?
14874Dunno, missus; she''s always''plaining ob de misery in her back, an''misery in her head; but do n''t ebery one hab a misery, some kind, most days? 14874 Either of Harry''s brothers- in- law?
14874Escaped prisoners from Andersonville, eh?
14874Five hundred? 14874 Forgive you, my husband?
14874Gray eyes and brown; that will do very well, wo n''t it?
14874Harold, Harold, a sister''s love I can, I do give you; and can you not be content with that?
14874Harold, when----her voice faltered, but with an effort she completed her sentence--"when did this begin?"
14874Harold,she cried,"you are not going?
14874Have not some of the house- servants been trained as seamstresses?
14874Have you fires and lights in the library, the dining- room, and your master''s rooms and mine?
14874Have you gotten over your fright of this evening?
14874He is all your hope and trust, dear friend, is He not?
14874He is n''t here, did n''t step inside at all; do n''t ye see the hounds are turning away from the door? 14874 How do you do?"
14874How do you know?
14874How long a talk do you want with your friend to- day, Elsie?
14874How much are you worth? 14874 How, Mrs. Travilla?
14874Humph,he said, half aloud, as he cantered briskly along,"took me for a fool, did he?
14874Hunger?
14874I am anxious about my poor people, papa; they are so ignorant of the truths necessary to salvation; and what can I teach them in three or four weeks? 14874 I ca n''t, hey?
14874I have a very good offer for your New Orleans property, daughter,said Mr. Dinsmore;"shall I accept it?"
14874I hope you''re glad to get back to America?
14874I must have hit him,said Mr. Travilla,"Dearest, you are not hurt?"
14874I see a carriage; do n''t you, papa?
14874I think you can; though of course I know your father and mother must be consulted; and if you come, you will grant my request?
14874I thought you were safe in----"State prison, eh? 14874 If you say so, Edward, and are quite sure he can not harm you now?"
14874Indeed, I hardly knew it myself till----"Till when?
14874Insult you, Miss Dinsmore?
14874Is Viamede as lovely as that, papa?
14874Is it jest; or earnest?
14874Is it not, Edward?
14874Is not that so?
14874Is papa in the house?
14874Is that all?
14874Is that mortification?
14874Is''t death to fall for Freedom''s right? 14874 It is for life,"she whispered;"and I am but young and foolish; shall you never regret?"
14874It''s the way to Texas, ai n''t it? 14874 Jesus like Elsie do dat way?"
14874Jesus loves wee Elsie?
14874Let go the old darkie; what''s she to you?
14874Mamma and papa, may we go down and play by that brook after breakfast?
14874Mamma, may Elsie go dere?
14874Mamma, papa, Edward, is there nothing we can do?
14874Mamma,asked Elsie, bringing up the rear as they entered the sitting- room,"ca n''t you go, too-- you and Aunt Adelaide?
14874Mamma? 14874 Mammy, can you supply another set of needles, and more yarn?"
14874Mammy, dear mammy, what is it?
14874Man,said he solemnly,"do you know that you are on the brink of the grave?
14874May Elsie, mamma?
14874May I come in?
14874May you what?
14874More safely invested? 14874 More so than to remind me of the disparity of our years?
14874Mornin'', Massa Doctah; did you heyah de news, sah?
14874Mother, how are you now?
14874Mother,cried her son, springing from the saddle,"you were not alarmed?
14874Mother,he said, hoarsely,"oh, is it, can it be so?
14874Mr. Spriggs, what is the meaning of this?
14874Mrs. Travilla, may I have the pleasure of helping you to ice cream?
14874My child, when did this come on? 14874 My dearest daughter, no; did I not say you were henceforth mistress of this house?"
14874My guest? 14874 My poor old mammy, what is it?
14874No matter what ailed you?
14874No, no; but you?
14874No, uncle, what is it?
14874Now shall I ride beside your carriage? 14874 Now, my dear Mrs. Travilla, shall I just treat you as one of ourselves, and take you into my own breezy room?"
14874Now, then, are you equal to another effort?
14874O war!--what, what art thou? 14874 Object?
14874Of course, you must have seen a newspaper account?
14874Of seven_ thousand_ over seventy- five?
14874Oh, Elsie, Elsie, light of my eyes, core of my heart, why did we ever meet to part like this? 14874 Oh, papa, ca n''t I ride on ahead a little, now and then, or fall a few paces behind if I wish?"
14874Oh, would you not live-- for your mother''s sake? 14874 Oh,"she cried, the moment she came into the room,"what is wee Elsie doing?
14874On account of what, auntie?
14874Papa, dear, what is it? 14874 Papa, did you miss me?"
14874Papa, is it my fault? 14874 Papa, is she really beautiful?
14874Papa,Elsie asked in a low tone,"do you wish me to take away those costly playthings from my little girl?"
14874Papa,said Horace, as the door closed upon his sister,"may I ride Gip to- day?"
14874Papa,said Horace,"how can it be that good Christian men are fighting and killing each other?"
14874Pray what may that be? 14874 Pray, how do you propose to prevent it?"
14874Rose, Rose, how shall I tell it? 14874 Sah?"
14874Same as what, sir?
14874Shall I go down and bring him up here, mamma?
14874Shall I read it aloud, wife?
14874Shall I show you mine?
14874She and the little folks are well, I hope?
14874So ye did get back at last?
14874So you do n''t mean to give me any?
14874So you''re engaged to that fatherly friend of yours, that pious sneak, that deadly foe to me?
14874Suse, honey? 14874 Thank you, my darling; what more could I ask or desire?"
14874That means you intend to turn informer, eh?
14874That old tyrant, eh?
14874The babies are in bed, I suppose?
14874The number to be clothed, papa? 14874 The story?
14874The woman is your property, I presume, sir?
14874Then the report of his death was untrue?
14874They were near of an age?
14874This, papa? 14874 Uncle Harold, do you feel able to tell us the story about your being a prisoner, and how you got free, and back to the Union army?"
14874Walter? 14874 Was your brother who fell at Ball''s Bluff easily spared?
14874Welcome in my house? 14874 Well, darlings, have you remembered your verses and our little talk about them this morning?"
14874Well, daughter, what is it?
14874Well, no matter for the name; will you help us? 14874 What about, darling?"
14874What ca n''t?
14874What can I do for you?
14874What dat, honey?
14874What de matter wid my chile? 14874 What did it all mean?"
14874What do you do when in want of something you do not know exactly how to procure?
14874What do you intend to call your son?
14874What do you prescribe, Miss Dinsmore?
14874What do you say, Aunt Wealthy and Miss Lottie?
14874What do you say, Elsie?
14874What do you?
14874What do your letters say?
14874What have you been doing that you feel entitles you to one?
14874What is it, Horace?
14874What is it, little wife?
14874What is it, mamma?
14874What is it, my darling?
14874What is it, my dear? 14874 What is the latest news from home, Adelaide?"
14874What matter?
14874What news?
14874What rooms have you prepared for your mistress, Aunt Phillis?
14874What rooms were you occupying?
14874What was it, dear?
14874What was that, papa?
14874What''s all this fuss, Uncle Joe?
14874What''s become of the man I left here in your charge, sirrah?
14874What''s wanted?
14874What''s your idea?
14874What, dear child? 14874 What, honey?
14874What, my little friend?
14874What? 14874 What?"
14874What?
14874When will this end?
14874When, my darling?
14874Where have I seen that face?
14874Where''s the justice of it?
14874Where, my precious one?
14874Which way?
14874Which will you have, dearies?
14874White folks, missus? 14874 Who told you there was to be a lecture?"
14874Who told you?
14874Why cross the bridge before we come to it, Dinsmore?
14874Why did Jesus weep, little daughter?
14874Why do n''t you lie down, sah, as Massa Doctah tole ye?
14874Why not, nephew?
14874Why, Sister Elsie, how could Uncle Ritchie lose his heart? 14874 Why, mammy dear, what is the matter?"
14874Why, my dear, I surely told you about her engagement to my brother Edward?
14874Why, papa, you are the company to- day, are you not? 14874 Why, what is the child doing?
14874Why, you conceited little puss?
14874Why? 14874 Will the limb ever be good for anything again?"
14874Will they?
14874Will you absolve me beforehand?
14874Will you come and live with grandpa in his home for awhile?
14874Will you go to it at once? 14874 Will you help the cream, Harry?"
14874Wilt thou draw near the nature of the gods? 14874 Would you like to sell?"
14874Yes, Edward, and is it not really a pity to have so much locked up in them?
14874Yes, darling, mamma is here,Elsie answered, softly pressing a kiss on the white brow;"what shall mamma do for her baby?"
14874Yes, do you know Rose?
14874Yes, wife; shall we take our little daughter to our own bedroom, and leave Eddie in possession of the nursery?
14874Yes,she said, with grave yet happy face;"and who is sufficient for these things?"
14874You all want to go to heaven?
14874You are not feeling the need of rest and sleep?
14874You are not going yet?
14874You are to be my guests for the rest of the winter, are you not?
14874You are very happy?
14874You buy''i m, darlin''? 14874 You can give her up?"
14874You had him pursued promptly, of course?
14874You hain''t forgot me, miss?
14874You have been here a long time?
14874You have n''t been planning and promising to give Adelaide and me a nephew older than ourselves? 14874 You take a very Christian view of it; but do your sufferings arouse no bitterness of feeling towards the South?"
14874You used to play with my mamma when you were a little boy like me; did n''t you, uncle Harold?
14874You were shocked by my changed appearance?
14874You will have some then, dear, wo n''t you?
14874You''d never fire upon the Stars and Stripes-- the dear old flag that protects us here?
14874You''ll not say a word to any one of having seen me, or suspecting I''m about here?
14874You_ were_ there, then?
14874''Massa, you ai n''t gwine to send us off?
14874''Who is he?''
14874All the pretty golden curls hidden beneath the widow''s cap?
14874Allison?"
14874Am I not right?"
14874An old negro busied about the deck; drew near and addressed her:"Well, auntie, you watchin''dat ole wheel dar?
14874And did you get through the money- hoon without a quarrel?
14874And did your shot shatter the bone in the rascal''s arm?"
14874And do ye bring ony news frae our friends in Naples?"
14874And is not this great grand, glorious old Union-- known and respected all over the world-- our common country, our joy and pride?
14874And now another thing; ought you not to go and see for yourself your property in Louisiana?"
14874And now, what has Vi to tell mamma?"
14874And she bears your name?"
14874And suppose you were old enough, would you wish to fight your uncles?
14874And what has been gained?
14874And you and your Phil do n''t quarrel yet?"
14874And you are not in haste to leave me?"
14874And you like the house, Mr. Travilla, do you not?"
14874And you?
14874And your husband?
14874Are the bride and groom ready?"
14874Are we to lose you?"
14874Barton?"
14874Brothers, friends, neighbors, with hearts full of hatred and ready to imbrue their hands in each other''s blood and for what?
14874But do tell me who is the fortunate man?"
14874But do you want to buy?"
14874But he did not succeed in wounding either of you?"
14874But how shall I find him?"
14874But may I ask you a question?"
14874But now tell me, please, what can I do with this Spriggs?
14874But see who is here?"
14874But what had become of the welcome sounds?
14874But what is the objection in your mind?
14874But what''s yer hurry, mister?"
14874But what_ do_ you call her little for?"
14874But where are papa''s rooms?"
14874But why broach so disagreeable a subject, since we are so nearly related that the very thought seems almost a sin and a crime?"
14874But why prefer to come upon them unexpectedly?"
14874But you have n''t told me how poor mamma is to- day?"
14874But you will at least advise me?"
14874But you will forgive what occurred so long ago?
14874But you would not have things different now if you could?
14874By the way, Allison, have you a sister who married a Mr. Horace Dinsmore?"
14874Can it be bringing us a guest?"
14874Can you still suppose me ignorant of your true character and your history for years past?
14874Can you tell me what you must do to be saved?"
14874Can you tell me, dear, of some of His good gifts to you?"
14874Can you tell us of anything that will put the savage brutes off the scent?"
14874Can you tell us why it was, Elsie?"
14874Come, come, what has happened to hurry you away?
14874Could it be Sophie with that thin, pale face and large, sad eyes?
14874Could it be possible?
14874Could you suppose papa would ever consent to such a mixture of relationships?
14874Darling, do you know that I love you better to- day than I ever did before?"
14874Dear Mrs. Carrington, you are looking very weary; and it is more than an hour yet to dinner- time; will you not lie down and rest?"
14874Did I not tell you so in my letters?
14874Did n''t it, Horace?"
14874Did the villain''s shot graze Elsie''s forehead and carry a tress of her beautiful hair?"
14874Did you know anything of a Lieutenant Walter Dinsmore, belonging to our side, who fell in the battle of Shiloh?"
14874Do He love little chillens?
14874Do n''t you sometimes feel as if you''d like to stay here altogether?"
14874Do you feel equal to a drive over to the Oaks?"
14874Do you feel quite strong enough to hold her?"
14874Do you know how much you are worth?"
14874Do you know the man?
14874Do you object?"
14874Do you remember that?"
14874Do you think papa would let a baby have a pony like Gip?
14874Does He not say to us, as to the disciples of old,''It is I, be not afraid''?"
14874Does Lora say that he is well?"
14874Elsie tiss her, make her well?"
14874Fust time you trable on dis boat, eh?"
14874Grudge him his salary?
14874Harold?"
14874Has not the news of Walter comforted you in some measure?"
14874Have you not taught me so yourself?"
14874He briefly repeated his story to the doctor and skipper; then asked hurriedly,"Is my horse all right?"
14874He should perhaps, have confided his secret to Mr. Dinsmore first, but his heart failed him; and"what would be the use?"
14874How are you after your fright?
14874How are you to- day?"
14874How are you, Travilla?
14874How can they bear the trials just at hand?
14874How did she get hold of it, dearest?"
14874How is that poor creature now?"
14874How many hours have I been here waiting for my chance for a shot at him?
14874How will that do?"
14874I am sick, I am suffering; you will stay by me?
14874I hope you are enjoying yourself here?"
14874I hope you never lift her?"
14874I hoped---- Oh, Elsie, could n''t you possibly love some one else better even than you love him?
14874I mean how much do you own in money, land, etc.?"
14874I presume it would not be necessary for me even to be at the trouble of dictating them?"
14874I presume the selection of gifts so satisfactory to all parties must have been yours?"
14874I shudder to think of it?
14874In a few moments Mr. Dinsmore returned to his daughter''s side, and placing the receipted bill of sale in her hands, asked,"Have I given too much?"
14874In what can I have offended?"
14874Is he to be shut out from your confidence now?
14874Is it not so?"
14874Is there any hope of recovery?"
14874Is there anybody else to do it, mamma?"
14874It was when I fell from the piano- stool; do you remember?"
14874It would be a risk, but what better could be done?
14874Lottie also?"
14874Mamma do n''t want Elsie to go see Jesus?
14874Mamma, has Uncle Harold seen baby?"
14874Mamma, is that where you and Aunt Sophie and Uncle Harold used to play when you were a little girl?"
14874Mamma, may I, too?"
14874Mamma, stay wis Elsie?"
14874May I know about it?"
14874May I not send at once?"
14874May I take him a moment, Lucy?"
14874Miss King, will you take my arm?"
14874Mr. Travilla, you''ll be good,_ good_ to her, wo n''t you?"
14874Must you go?"
14874Must you, really?"
14874No, sir, you never gave yourself that wound; but the question is who did?
14874Now about Enna?"
14874Now where''s the gold ye promised me?"
14874Now, Eddie, what is your verse?"
14874Oh why should you ever have thought of me so?"
14874Oh, Elsie, why did I ever see you?"
14874Or he might return from another direction, and what could I do with only the women to help me?
14874Papa, am I not old enough?
14874Papa, do you know why mammy has always been so distressed whenever I talked of going there?"
14874Pistol- shot wound, eh?
14874Pray, do you intend to remain single all your days?"
14874Richard?
14874Shall I read it aloud?"
14874Shall I read it for you?"
14874Shall our trip be to Europe, Elsie?"
14874Shall we consider you quite one?"
14874Shall we go?"
14874Shall we have the pleasure of hailing you as duchess yet?"
14874Shall we not, wife?"
14874Shall we not?"
14874Shall you attend Aunt Adie''s wedding?"
14874She looked up, her eyes beaming with affection;"Papa; I am rather late, am I not?"
14874Should he stay and share in this good work?
14874Sit here and read it to me; will you?
14874So please, papa, may she go on?"
14874So that pretty niece of yours, my former fiancà © e, is engaged to Travilla?
14874The great, grand old Union to be sure-- North and South, East and West-- is it not all mine?
14874The little one turned a piteous look upon her mother, and with a quivering lip and fast- filling eyes, said,"Mamma sick?
14874Then her father asked,"What does Enna say?"
14874Then turning, with a quick vivid blush, to Mrs. Travilla,"Mother, am I transcending my rights?"
14874There, you feel better now, do you not?"
14874To whom?"
14874Travilla?"
14874Travilla?"
14874Uncle Joe tells me you had a visit from a burglar last night?"
14874Uncle Walter, for instance?"
14874Vanilla, I wish you joy; but what am I to call you now?"
14874Walter?"
14874Well, I recall my rebuke, and thank you for your-- what shall I say-- pretty compliment, or appreciation of my society?"
14874Well, Rosie, what is it?"
14874What ails your arm now?"
14874What can I do to comfort you?"
14874What did you poor fellows get to eat at Andersonville?"
14874What do those fellows at Washington care about our lives?
14874What do you ask?"
14874What do you say, Dinsmore?"
14874What do you think of it?"
14874What does Jesus say?
14874What is it, mammy?"
14874What is it?"
14874What say you, gentlemen?"
14874What troubles you so?"
14874What was going on in their homes?
14874When will you go, little wife?"
14874When will you return?
14874Where is Travilla?"
14874Where is he now, I wonder, poor fellow?"
14874Where were you?"
14874Who are you; and what d''ye want?"
14874Who would shed a tear for me but Aunt Wealthy?
14874Why had he been such a fool as to suppose he could win so great a prize?
14874Why had he not known of her engagement?
14874Why had no one told him?
14874Why should n''t your beauty be set off to the best advantage as well as theirs, even though only the eyes of those who love you will look upon it?"
14874Will that do?"
14874Will ye come in and take a bite or sup o''something?"
14874Will you come?"
14874Will you do it?"
14874Will you go next?"
14874Will you join us?"
14874Will you not speak to them?
14874Will you, sir, take charge of it, and see that it reaches the lady''s hands?"
14874Wo n''t you stay?"
14874Yet what need to balance accounts in respect to these matters?
14874You can not have forgotten your fall from the piano- stool which came so near making me childless?
14874You know all about it, and is not that sufficient?"
14874You recognized him?"
14874You will take it as help sent by Him whose steward I am?"
14874Your name''s Allison, is n''t it?"
14874am I a coquette?"
14874and a pistol of his own, too?"
14874and are there not fresh fruits, vegetables, chickens, and eggs at hand for immediate use?"
14874and can you describe him?"
14874and in a moment of anger aroused by my great love for you?"
14874and may I ask your name?"
14874and must soon appear at the bar of Him whose holy name you are taking in vain?"
14874and that is how you look at it?
14874and to work for your Master?"
14874and what for?
14874and what has caused it?"
14874and when will your father return?"
14874and would it not be better to defer it till to- morrow?"
14874and you, Edward?
14874anxious?
14874are you in pain?"
14874are you not ashamed of yourself?"
14874asked Mr. Dinsmore, in tones of calm displeasure;"did I not forbid all cruel punishment on this estate?"
14874at it again, little wife?"
14874bring de oranges in de mornin''?"
14874can it be possible?"
14874cried Travilla, in a tone of agony, as they laid her upon a sofa in her boudoir,"are you ill?
14874cried the doctor, growing more and more excited;"where?
14874cried the doctor, jumping up;"and which way was the boat going?"
14874did I give him undue encouragement?
14874did he dare to call you that?"
14874did they shoot a hole so it might drop out?"
14874did you think it very grand then, daughter?"
14874did you think often of me?"
14874do he love wee Elsie?"
14874do n''t I know how I love you?"
14874do you call me a baby?"
14874do you know where your ball struck?"
14874give our Elsie away?
14874have you been house- breaking or some other mischief?"
14874he answered, earnestly,"why should they?
14874he asked himself,"if Elsie is not willing?
14874he asked himself;"of what unkind return of his or Elsie''s hospitality could the lad have been guilty?
14874he muttered,"does he court all night?
14874he said flushing,"I meant to have that left out; and did I not tell you you were to have your own way that night and ever after?
14874how can I give you to another?"
14874how can I let them perish for lack of knowledge whom Christ has put into my care?"
14874how can we ever do without her?
14874how could you?
14874is anything troubling you, dearest?"
14874is it indeed?"
14874is n''t it terrible?
14874is n''t it time, as papa thinks?"
14874is you hurted?"
14874kill one of them, perhaps?
14874mamma ky?
14874may n''t I go?"
14874much less considering his permission necessary to your action?"
14874my precious darling, what is it?"
14874naughty mans so cross to Him?"
14874or Travilla?"
14874or is he merely a hired hand?"
14874or is it only the mother love that makes her so in my eyes?"
14874or sit down here and have a little chat with papa and me first?"
14874or take a seat in it with you?"
14874or than to disregard my earnest wish?
14874papa too?"
14874playing with your jewels, Elsie?"
14874said the old lady, drawing near the young girls''corner,"travilla cream or melon?"
14874she cried,"did n''t you do that very thing when I was a child?"
14874so sick?
14874the would- be assassin of Viamede?"
14874was that the distant tread of a horse?
14874what ails you, honey?"
14874what ever shall we do?"
14874what has gone wrong?"
14874what is he like?"
14874what is it?"
14874what was it?"
14874what was that?"
14874what were dear relatives and friends doing and enduring?
14874what''s de matter, darlin''?
14874where is he?"
14874who?"
14874whom have you found?"
14874why Horace, how could you ever think of such a thing?"
14874why should I be?
14874will they die on the battle field?
14874you are not leaving us?
14874you do n''t say de rascal done stole yer coat an''boots?
14874you will not leave me?"
9963A strange request, my darling,he said,"but which of them is it?"
9963A widow?
9963About Aunt Adelaide, mamma?
9963Afraid of what?
9963Ah, but how did you come to be so late?
9963Ah, do n''t you know it was you who first taught me the sweetness of carrying all my trials and troubles to Jesus? 9963 Ah, is it so, Elsie, my darling?"
9963Ah, is that so?
9963Ah, papa, how can I do without you for weeks and months?
9963Ah, then you are not aware that she is already on her way to Europe?
9963Ah, then, why did you not ask to go with the others?
9963Ah, were you there? 9963 Ah, you doubted me, then?"
9963Ah? 9963 Almost, darling?
9963Am I like her, papa? 9963 Am I to drive her to the depot, ma''am?"
9963An''what Marse Arthur doin''yer dis time ob night, I like ter know?--what he want frightenin''my chile like dis?
9963And Elsie still believes in the scoundrel?
9963And are you really to be gone a year?
9963And did n''t like to take it before folks? 9963 And do you think he''ll answer at once?"
9963And he has acted quite fairly and honestly in using that talent to elude my vigilance and tempt you to deception and disobedience, eh?
9963And leave you? 9963 And now may I ask who and what that Mr. Travilla is?"
9963And papa did n''t go with them?
9963And pray what may they be?
9963And rich you say? 9963 And so Aunt Wealthy took you out shopping, and secured the benefit of your taste and judgment in the choice of her remnants?"
9963And the post- mark tells you nothing either?
9963And the shirt?
9963And we''ll correspond, wo n''t we? 9963 And what Jesus said:''Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?
9963And what am I to do?
9963And who has a better right, Miss Malapert?
9963And why hopeless?
9963And will you really submit to all that? 9963 And you dared to permit all that, Elsie?"
9963And you did?
9963And you will dare trust me?
9963And you would n''t have let me go?
9963And you would put his wishes before mine? 9963 And you''ll come back to spend the evening?
9963And you?
9963And your letter is from her?
9963And your mother is Mrs. Schilling, is she?
9963Anything else to- day, ladies?
9963Are the family all well, Davis?
9963Are you going to say''No''to him, papa?
9963Bran?
9963Bromly Egerton; quite romantic, is n''t it? 9963 But I must do something?"
9963But I suppose you bought ever so many new dresses, and lots of other pretty things, in New York?
9963But are you not afraid?
9963But do n''t you feel that it''s very hard? 9963 But how can we be sure of that, or, indeed, of anything?
9963But how? 9963 But if he allows it?"
9963But is it right, or wise?
9963But is n''t it very irksome? 9963 But may n''t I stay up and read till ten to- night?"
9963But suppose papa was the one who had made her sorry; what then?
9963But there is something wrong with her, is there not? 9963 But to come to the point, will you walk with us?"
9963But what am I to do?
9963But what if it should be storming, sir?
9963But what more could the bairn or her father desire? 9963 But what my bressed chile''fraid of?"
9963But what sort of company is it to be?
9963But who knows that it was written by the lady herself?
9963But why must n''t I go to sister, papa?
9963But why not take part, if it is not wrong?
9963But you are quite satisfied now?
9963But you do n''t believe it, Elsie?
9963But you do n''t think it was quite right, now do you?
9963But you wo n''t be hard with her, poor dear?
9963But you would n''t fight, Mr. Travilla? 9963 Ca n''t you afford yourself a little nap, auntie?"
9963Ca n''t you eat something first?
9963Can you imitate the chirography of others?
9963Come back, daughter,for Elsie had risen to obey his order, and was moving toward the door,"come here and tell me what ails you?"
9963Come in Harold, and put your books down,said Sophy;"you can afford to spend a few minutes talking to Elsie, ca n''t you?"
9963Come now, am I not right?
9963Come, Art, speak, why do n''t you?
9963Dat wrong, you t''ink, missy?
9963Dat you, Scip?
9963Dear child, what shall I do without you?
9963Dear papa, what could I ever do without you to love me?
9963Dear papa, you wo n''t be angry if I ask another question?''''
9963Dear papa,she whispered,"would it make you happy?
9963Did I ever take forgetfulness of my orders as any excuse of disobedience?
9963Did I not bid you go to bed at once, my daughter?
9963Did he, papa? 9963 Did she, Aunt Wealthy?
9963Did you ask your papa about the new mamma?
9963Did you come out in search of me?
9963Did you ever dress yourself?
9963Did you ever try it,asked Nettie;"doing your own hair, I mean?"
9963Did you give John the checks, papa?
9963Dis de gentleman and lady from de South, what Miss Stanhope''s''spectin''?
9963Do I?
9963Do n''t you like it, Carrie?
9963Do n''t you think my father ought then to have kept us waiting four years longer?
9963Do you expect to be in leading- strings all your life?
9963Do you have to show your balance in hand when you give in your account?
9963Do you know her, papa?
9963Do you know it''s after ten?
9963Do you know what this is?
9963Do you really think she has so little sense? 9963 Do you second the motion, Miss Howard?"
9963Do you think Aunt Lora will be pleased?
9963Do you think he''ll let you accept my invitation?
9963Do you think she will come, papa?
9963Do you think she would be willing to come over and do mine now? 9963 Do you think you can get breakfast in less than an hour?
9963Do you think you shall like your new mamma, Elsie?
9963Do you? 9963 Does he really mean to keep you single all your life?
9963Does it frighten you to hear of such things?
9963Does it satisfy you?
9963Does she do so intentionally, papa?
9963Does your head ache, daughter?
9963Elsie, do you really think it is a sinful amusement?
9963Elsie, you''ll go too?
9963Even to sacrificing yourself? 9963 Excuse?
9963For all of us?
9963For what, Herbert?
9963For whom are you making shirts, aunt?
9963From whom can it have come?
9963Good- morning, little sixpence; what are you after now?
9963Got a rollin''pin, Aunt Viney?
9963Had she no excuse to offer?
9963Had you a nap too, my poor old mammy?
9963Hard with her, Aunt Wealthy? 9963 Has no name, eh?"
9963Has she, darling? 9963 Have I done any mischief, Elsie?"
9963Have n''t you more than that in hand now?
9963He would not let you have it up in a comb?
9963History repeating itself, eh?
9963Horace, will you bring her to see me again?
9963How are you? 9963 How can I-- how can I give you up?
9963How did it come into your hands?
9963How did it happen that Mr. Dinsmore was not of your party last night, Miss Stevens?
9963How do you do, Harold?
9963How do you know that she bought remnants?
9963How do you like it?
9963How do you like my present to Adelaide? 9963 How do you like this style of arranging the hair, girls?"
9963How long have I slept?
9963How long should she be forbidden to wander there at her own sweet will?
9963How many kinds of cake shall we make?
9963How much have you here?
9963How much longer may we hope to keep you, Elsie?
9963How? 9963 I beg pardon, but were you speaking to me?"
9963I beg your pardon,he said;"but to go back to the letters, how can you fill one every day to your father?
9963I do n''t approve of marrying, though, do you, auntie? 9963 I do not understand; have I said anything very dreadful?"
9963I fear you are not well,he said, turning her face to the light and examining it with keen scrutiny;"tell me, are you ill?"
9963I hope you do n''t intend to hurry this child away from me, Horace?
9963I mean to go and ask her what Miss Allison had her father''s ring for; may I, mamma?
9963I never said so; so what right had you to suppose it?
9963I will, eh? 9963 If it will be agreeable to my little friend to have me here?"
9963In the carriage with mother and me?
9963Is Elsie sick, dear?
9963Is it clean?
9963Is it generally known in the family?
9963Is it not a sin to throw away the life which God has given us to be used in His service?
9963Is it so? 9963 Is it that he believes Mr. Travilla was not mistaken?"
9963Is it the kind of book to interest an old body like me?
9963Is it you?
9963Is it?
9963Is n''t Mr. Dinsmore excessively strict and exacting?
9963Is n''t it a bore?
9963Is she in love with him, do you suppose?
9963Is she your governess?
9963Is that so?
9963Is the care you speak of one thing of which you feel certain?
9963Is this your stranger of the picture- gallery? 9963 It is he?"
9963It''s not to be a large party, is it?
9963Jim,she asked,"is your master at home?"
9963Late enough though, is it not?
9963Leave Lansdale, do you mean?
9963Let you do what, my child?
9963Look up into my face and tell me if it is really true that you want me to give you away? 9963 Looking so?"
9963Lucy,he said in one of the pauses,"what amusements are we to have to- night?--anything beside the harp, piano, and conversation?"
9963May I ask what?
9963May I be your escort to- morrow?
9963May I go in to see mamma?
9963May I look at it?
9963May I run to her door and ask if she is?--and if she is n''t, may I wait for her out here on the veranda?
9963May we see each other often?
9963Miss Rose, dare I hope that you would venture to trust your happiness in the hands of a man who has proved himself capable of such cruelty?
9963Miss Stanhope, I presume?
9963Miss Stevens?
9963Mr. Egerton, do you think''twas because my cakes and things was n''t good enough for her that she would n''t taste''em?
9963Mr. Travilla, you will not tell papa?
9963Must I give him up?
9963Must I go to bed now, papa?
9963Must I tell you, papa?
9963Must you really quite give him up?
9963My dear child, you are not leaving us already?
9963My dear, do you know what my age was when you married me?
9963No, Elsie; but what do you think your father would wish?
9963No, is she indeed?
9963No, you''ve called me a liar, and what''s the use of my telling you anything? 9963 No,"said Elsie, pausing in a game of romps with her little brother;"what is it?"
9963No; do you suppose papa can not trust my word?
9963Now I have told you all my secrets,she said,"wo n''t you treat me as generously, by trusting me with yours?"
9963Now, Miss Dinsmore, you wo n''t refuse to try a few of these?
9963Of age soon, are n''t you?
9963Of course; but how can a fellow help it when he''s obliged to watch his opportunity till the Argus eyes are closed in sleep, or supposed to be so?
9963Oh, Aunt Wealthy, wo n''t you tell me how you make that Farmer''s fruit- cake?
9963Oh, Elsie, have you tried putting up your hair?
9963Oh, Elsie, must you indeed? 9963 Oh, Elsie, must you?--must you really leave us at that early hour?
9963Oh, Lucy, how can you be so ridiculous?
9963Oh, Lucy, how could you? 9963 Oh, my darling, could you?
9963Oh, no; do n''t go yet; ca n''t we send for her?
9963Oh, papa, has sister come home?
9963Oh, why need he? 9963 Or I without you, my darling?"
9963Or received one from him?
9963Papa, what do you think? 9963 Papa,"he said softly, leaning with confiding affection upon his knee,"dear papa, are you angry with me?
9963Papa,said Elsie, gazing longingly upon them, as she stood by the open window,"ca n''t we take a walk?"
9963Papa,said Elsie,"I am not tired, may n''t I run on to the top of that hill yonder?"
9963Papa,she asked,"did you notice that party of tourists?"
9963Papa,she said beseechingly,"is not that too hard a word?
9963Please be good enough to sit where I can look at you without too great an effort, wo n''t you?
9963Pray, what do you mean, Mrs. Dinsmore? 9963 Pretty nice ones, too, some of them are; do n''t you think so, dear?"
9963Rather a new and improved version of the Bible narrative, aunt, is n''t it?
9963Rose, does anything ail the child?
9963See, is she not a darling?
9963Shall I bring a dish for de peaches, mistis?
9963Shall I go for a doctor?
9963Shall I not relieve you of the reins?
9963She? 9963 Sit down, wo n''t you?"
9963Six weeks, dear Rose? 9963 So, dear, you''ve come to see your old auntie?
9963Some namby- pamby girl''s story, I s''pose, since you''re allowed to read it; or are you doing it on the sly?
9963Something is wrong with you, child; ca n''t you tell the trouble to your old auntie, and let her try to comfort you?
9963Such as saying your prayers, reading the Bible, and going to church?
9963Such beautiful hair too; did you notice that? 9963 Suppose I could put you in the way of marrying a fortune, would you hold me quit of all your claims against me?"
9963Suppose we take turns sewing and reading? 9963 Surely you do n''t mean if our parents refuse their consent, auntie?"
9963Ten o''clock at night, papa?
9963Thank you, how are you? 9963 Thank you, the location would suit me well; and you think she could give me comfortable accommodations?"
9963That one nearest this way? 9963 That was right kind of him, but is n''t it odd, and real nice too, that he and Rose are going to get married?
9963That would n''t trouble me in the least; but why do you do it, if you are afraid it''s wrong?
9963The Misses King are going with you?
9963The Sabbath is hardly the day for what people usually mean by a good time, is it?
9963The coveted interview has proved entirely unsatisfactory then?
9963The latter or the former?
9963Then it is n''t only because your aunt is strict too, that you go on keeping your father''s rules, while you are at a safe distance from him?
9963Then why did you not mention her name, instead of speaking of her as she? 9963 Then you have resigned your lover entirely?"
9963Then you will forgive her, and take her to your heart again?
9963Then, papa, do let him be named Horace, for you; wo n''t you if mamma is willing? 9963 Then, papa, will I have to call her mamma?
9963There, Albert,she said, stroking and patting him,"I do n''t like to hurt you, but how was I to get you out, or in?
9963Till half- past nine, then?
9963Two birthdays, Miss Lucy? 9963 Walter?"
9963Was it not too provoking, papa?
9963Welcome, fair lady; but am I to be dismissed without any reward for my poor services?
9963Well, Elsie, what made you run away in such a hurry yesterday?
9963Well, and why should n''t we?
9963Well, dear, and what of it all?
9963Well, have you come to a good stopping- place?
9963Well?
9963What are you doing, daughter?
9963What can I do to circumvent him? 9963 What can you mean, Annie?
9963What can you mean, Miss Carrington?
9963What de gentleman want dis niggah do for to arn''em?
9963What did that child want?
9963What do they call you for short?
9963What do you want, Willy?
9963What does Elsie say?
9963What for, mammy?
9963What had she done-- something of which papa would highly disapprove? 9963 What is his name, papa?"
9963What is it, auntie?
9963What is it, dear?
9963What is it, papa?
9963What is it, papa?
9963What is it? 9963 What is my little girl thinking of?"
9963What is that, you poor dear?
9963What is the matter, my dear?
9963What is the matter?
9963What is too bad, daughter? 9963 What is your objection to pleasant things, Miss Dinsmore?
9963What sort of woman is she?
9963What time? 9963 What was it about?"
9963What''s all this racket about?
9963What''s his name, auntie?
9963What''s that got to do with it?
9963What''s this pound cake to be mixed up in, Aunt Viney?
9963What''s your name?
9963What, Art, are you going out?
9963What, crying, eh?
9963What, my dear?
9963What, papa?
9963What, papa?
9963What, you have brought a book?
9963What, you too ready to abuse me on that score, Miss Lottie?
9963What-- who-- Miss Lucy?
9963When a boy has only one sister, he ca n''t spare her to other folks, can he, papa?
9963When did he forbid you?
9963When do you return home, Elsie?
9963When was that?
9963When?
9963Where are you going?
9963Where do you live?
9963Where is she? 9963 Who are they?"
9963Who is he?
9963Who''s there?
9963Who''s there?
9963Who?
9963Whom does she resemble?
9963Why am I grieving so? 9963 Why do you come here?
9963Why do you smile? 9963 Why not?
9963Why, Elsie, daughter, what is the matter?
9963Why, Miss Dinsmore, you do not take me for an infidel, surely?
9963Why, do n''t you know she never does anything without asking the permission of papa?
9963Why, do n''t you remember he let you stay up till ten Christmas Eve that time we all spent the holidays at Roselands, which was five years ago?
9963Why, my darling, what can be the matter?
9963Why, my darling, what is the matter?
9963Why, my dear, this is very sudden, is it not?
9963Why, papa; did you know she was here?
9963Why, papa?
9963Why, what did she do that for?
9963Why, what do you mean, child?
9963Why, what''s the matter, Jim?
9963Why, what''s up?
9963Why, you ai nt delicate, are you? 9963 Why?"
9963Will I do, papa?
9963Will you get in? 9963 Will you help me with my lesson, Elsie, and hear me say it when it is learned?"
9963Will you make us some, Aunt Chloe?
9963Will you not give to me a word of hope?
9963Will you not take a seat?
9963Will you take a seat with me on this sofa? 9963 Will you take a seat?"
9963Will you take that part if we agree to play it?
9963Will you walk in? 9963 Wo n''t ten be early enough, papa?"
9963Wo n''t you take some of de''freshments fust, honey?
9963Wo n''t you tell me?
9963Would n''t a fine young lady daughter be just as good or better?
9963Would you like it, dearest?
9963Yeast? 9963 Yes, Miss Wealthy; but you do n''t want it that soon, do you?
9963Yes, auntie; but do you know you have strongly excited my curiosity?
9963Yes, but what do you want it for?
9963Yes, daughter, and we will agree together to ask Him to do this great work, so impossible to any human power; shall we not?
9963Yes, papa, and then she''ll be all right to- morrow, wo n''t she? 9963 Yes, sir; and may I come sooner if I get homesick?"
9963Yes, that''s Aunt Wealthy, and does n''t she make a picture standing there under the vines in her odd dress?
9963Yes, there is one for you; from your mother, I think; and, Elsie, do you know the handwriting of this?
9963Yes; they are not quite ready yet; but it is surely too early to think of going?
9963Yes? 9963 Yonder; do n''t you see Mr. Dinsmore''s man with a letter?
9963You are better this morning?
9963You are mine; you belong to me; no other earthly creature has the least shadow of a right or title in you; do you know that?
9963You are not sorry to see me then, my little friend?
9963You are quoting?
9963You are very fond of him, and he of you?
9963You believe that you are a sinner deserving of God''s wrath?
9963You certainly were acquainted with Tom Jackson, and how, but through you, could he have gained any knowledge of Elsie and her whereabouts?
9963You do believe in him? 9963 You do n''t blame me for loving her?"
9963You do n''t expect other company?
9963You do n''t, hey? 9963 You feel better now, dearest, do you not?"
9963You haint, eh? 9963 You have a good nurse, and the best medical advice?"
9963You have had a good sleep?
9963You have no lingering doubts as to the identity and utter unworthiness of the man?
9963You have not been lending money to Arthur, Elsie?
9963You have not changed your mind, Elsie?
9963You have not forgotten me then?
9963You know all, mamma?
9963You must have struck very hard, and oh, Mr. Travilla, what if he should take it into his head to challenge you?
9963You poor dear, what is wrong? 9963 You ride out daily?"
9963You were not smitten with the gentleman, eh?
9963You will give her to me, my friend?
9963You would, eh? 9963 You write frequently to your papa?"
9963You''d like your money as soon as you can get it?
9963You''ll come again soon-- often, till I can get strength to go to you?
9963You''ll go in with us to- morrow, wo n''t you, Elsie?
9963You''ll stay and spend the day with me, wo n''t you?
9963Young Beresford, my friend''s son? 9963 Young and handsome, you say, Aunt Wealthy?
9963''Come here; what have you been doing to yourself?''
9963''I am, my darling,''he answered,''just because you are so very near and dear to me; and what does the Bible tell us?
9963''Taint massa, for sure?"
9963A pretty sort of Christian you are, are n''t you?"
9963Ah, Edward, when will your turn come?"
9963Ah, do you not know that my father is more-- a great deal more than half of home to me?"
9963Ah, mammy, are you enjoying your ride?"
9963Ai nt she handsome though?
9963And mother says, will you lend her a teacupful, Aunt Wealthy?
9963And now, what were you going to say to me?"
9963And so you''re on the sick list?
9963And then, what right had she to take your arm without being asked?"
9963And you will help him, wo n''t you?"
9963And you, papa?"
9963Are you not afraid of me, Rose?"
9963Aunt Chloe, what have you done with him?"
9963Believing as he does, how could he do otherwise than forbid all intercourse between us?
9963But ca n''t your mamma give permission just as well?"
9963But her own papa, how would he feel-- what would he say?
9963But is n''t it time we were moving toward home?"
9963But oh, tell me when did you see papa last?
9963But shall I tell her that it will add to your happiness if she will be your mamma?"
9963But what good does that do me?
9963But what is wrong?
9963But when may I claim you for my own indeed?
9963But where is mamma?"
9963But will you not go in with me?
9963But wo n''t you tell me about it?"
9963But you''ll come, both of you, wo n''t you?"
9963But, Elsie, do you not see now that he is quite capable of imitating the handwriting of another?"
9963But, Enna, how did you learn all this?"
9963But, I say, lad, if it''s a great chance, why do you hand it over to me?
9963But, daughter, why was this thing suffered to go on?
9963But, mamma, I was n''t teasing her, not a bit; was I, Elsie?
9963By the way, what do you think of Aunt Wealthy''s own dress?"
9963Ca n''t you raise that much without applying to him?
9963Ca n''t you?
9963Can it be got ready in season?"
9963Can it be that you have seen and spoken with that-- scoundrel, Elsie?"
9963Can we go on in time to spend some weeks there before sailing?"
9963Can you accommodate me?"
9963Can you guess what it is?"
9963Can you guess what it is?"
9963Can you not explain it more fully?"
9963Can you not trust his wisdom and his love?"
9963Can you recommend a boarding- place in town?
9963Come, can you not wait long enough to partake with us?
9963Coming to her husband''s side the next moment, and laying her hand affectionately on his shoulder,"What is it, dear?"
9963Could n''t you persuade your papa to buy some for you?"
9963Did any of the old love come back?
9963Did he hurt you much, my child?"
9963Did he say anything funny when you showed yourself that day?"
9963Did he tell you about it?"
9963Did n''t she talk of him to- day?"
9963Did you ever hear me speak of Aunt Wealthy Stanhope?"
9963Did you say he shot himself?"
9963Do n''t you wish I''d go away?"
9963Do n''t you?"
9963Do n''t you?"
9963Do you expect to make some stay in our town?"
9963Do you forget that you passed your majority three weeks ago?"
9963Do you get a ferruling every time you miss a word?--and enjoy the pain because it pleases papa to inflict it?"
9963Do you like it, Elsie?
9963Do you really always observe such early hours?"
9963Do you think I ought for a moment to contemplate allowing Elsie to sacrifice herself to him?"
9963Do you understand?"
9963Does my aunt live far from the depot?"
9963Does that look like penitence for your fault?"
9963Edward?"
9963Egerton?"
9963Egerton?"
9963Egerton?"
9963Egerton?"
9963Elsie ill?
9963Elsie started and raised her head, asking,"What is it, papa?"
9963Elsie, could you love me-- love me well enough to marry me?"
9963Elsie, will you go with us?"
9963Go and put on your hat and shawl, and I will take you and mamma out for an airing?"
9963Has Tom Jackson gone to Lansdale?"
9963Have n''t you had offers?"
9963Have n''t you some work for me?
9963Have you any message to send?"
9963Have you ever given him one?"
9963Have you not noticed his poor mother''s sad and careworn look?
9963Have you read it yourself?"
9963He caressed her silently, then taking the photograph from his pocket, asked,"Do you know that face?"
9963He gave her a very troubled, anxious look, as he replied,"Why should you take it so to heart, Elsie?
9963He rose and went to the bedside, asking,"What''s wrong with Elsie, Art?"
9963He uttered an exclamation of delighted surprise, and turning to his companion asked,"Who is she?"
9963He''ll hunt them up for me at the depot; wo n''t he, Aunt Wealthy?"
9963Horace,"and she turned to him, as he re- entered the room,"may I not know about Elsie?
9963How d''ye do, Aunt Chloe?"
9963How dared you so disobey me as to submit to it?"
9963How do you all do?
9963How do you do?"
9963How do you reconcile such an assertion as you have just made with the fact of your having that letter in your possession?"
9963How is Arthur?"
9963How is my aunt?"
9963How should you like that?"
9963I doubt if you can guess whom?"
9963I forgot that,"she said a little sadly; but brightening again, she asked:"Could n''t you invite her to go home with us and spend the winter?
9963I guess I''ll be your aunt, wo n''t I?"
9963I hope these are not rebellious tears?"
9963I hoped that your joy would be unclouded to- night, as mine has been; but will you not tell your father what troubles you, dearest?"
9963I may say that you are not quite indifferent to me?"
9963I presume your conscience does not forbid you to watch the dancers?"
9963I suppose the sooner the ball''s set in motion the better?"
9963I think I''ve heard you spoken of as a woman- killer?"
9963I think she will hardly annoy you when you are close at my side; and that is pretty much all the time, is n''t it?"
9963I''m sure I shall dote on her; and if I can only persuade her to return my penchant, wo n''t we have grand good times while she''s here?
9963I''ve lost and you won enough for one night; have n''t we, eh?"
9963Indeed you must, or how is Elsie to learn her visitors''names?
9963Is Rudolph not doing well?"
9963Is he a relative of ours?"
9963Is he angry, do you think?"
9963Is it so?"
9963Is n''t it, my dear?"
9963Is n''t she sweet and lovely, and good as she can be?"
9963Is n''t that so?
9963Is n''t your allowance very large now?"
9963Is not God very good to give him to us, papa?"
9963Is not that so?"
9963Is that it?"
9963It''s not your sister, surely?"
9963Laugh''s and engage it, as I told you yesterday?"
9963Let me see-- delicate cake, gold, silver and clove, fruitcake, sponge, and what else?"
9963Let us start to- morrow, papa; ca n''t we?"
9963Love him best, I presume?"
9963May I, papa?"
9963May n''t I, papa?
9963Miss Carrington, will you help me?"
9963Miss Dinsmore, will you take part?"
9963Miss Stanhope, do you know there''s a sculpture in town?
9963Missy help ole Aunt Viney wid dose lily- white hands?
9963Mr. Dinsmore shook hands with his sister, addressed a remark to his wife, then, glancing about the room, asked,"Where is Elsie?"
9963Mr. and Miss Dinsmore, I presume?"
9963My errand was to ask if we could not so arrange it as, for once at least, to have our ride alone together?
9963Now can you not realize that the more ardent my love for her, the more frantically impatient I would feel under such treatment?"
9963Now what does such disobedience deserve?"
9963Now wo n''t you answer my question about Enna?"
9963Now, do you want to take a siesta?
9963Now, what was it you did, or did n''t do?"
9963Of all the joys that brighten suffering earth What joy is welcomed like a new- born child?
9963Oh, do you think you could like me, Elsie?"
9963Oh, papa, ask her very soon, wo n''t you?"
9963Oh, papa, may I not?
9963Oh, papa, will you forgive me?"
9963Or is it that you believe she too has turned against me?"
9963Or shall we sit here?
9963Papa, you are not vexed with me?
9963Phillis, what''s the matter with that speckled hen?"
9963Phillis?"
9963Pray where did you ever meet me?"
9963Read it aloud to mamma, wo n''t you?"
9963Rose threw her arm around the little girl and kissed her tenderly, whispering:"Will you love me, Elsie, dearest?
9963Say, Elsie, my daughter, is it so?"
9963Schilling?"
9963Shall we not, mamma?"
9963She longed intently to know what he had said to her; but she had never deceived or wilfully disobeyed her father, and should she begin now?
9963She read incredulity in her father''s face,"You do not believe it, papa?"
9963She was slipping quietly away, when he turned toward her, saying:"Would you not like to go with us, my little friend?
9963Should you like it, my dear?"
9963Should you like to go?"
9963So we did, and would you believe it?
9963Then as if a sudden thought had struck him,"Elsie, have you ever allowed him to touch your lips?"
9963Then looking up into his face,"Did you say I might have it, papa?
9963Then, as Mr. Dinsmore turned, lifted his daughter from the carriage, and half carried her into the house,"But what''s the matter?
9963There was a momentary silence; then she looked up, asking timidly,"You are not vexed with me, papa?"
9963They are English, are n''t they?"
9963They entered a store, and the smiling merchant asked,"What can I do for you to- day, ladies?"
9963They were silent for a moment; then turning to her, he asked,"Are you ever afraid that your troubles and cares are too trifling for His notice?
9963Travilla?"
9963Travilla?"
9963Was she, then, to be separated from all the rest of the family?
9963Waters well?
9963Well, what is it?"
9963Were you not always a most welcome guest in my father''s house?
9963What about them?"
9963What ailed her?"
9963What ails you, child?
9963What ails you?"
9963What am I to think of such high- handed rebellion?"
9963What do you say to a year in Europe?"
9963What do you say to going home?"
9963What do you say?
9963What do you wish?"
9963What does He say?
9963What harm can there be in jumping about in that way more than in another?"
9963What interest for her had this stranger, or his doings?
9963What is the physician''s opinion of the case?"
9963What is there that we know absolutely, and beyond question?
9963What must I do first?"
9963What sort is she?"
9963What sort of a book is it, Travilla?"
9963What would you say to six weeks?
9963What you want, sah?"
9963What''s that for?"
9963What''s that you''re reading?"
9963Where are you going?
9963Who is she?"
9963Who knows but we may some day have to do our own work?"
9963Why not try for it yourself?
9963Why, what is wrong with her?"
9963Will he stay and finish his course?"
9963Will you accept a trifle from me?"
9963Will you come?"
9963Will you do it?"
9963Will you go with me?"
9963Will you not tell me, dear child, what I have done to hurt or grieve you so?"
9963Will you stay and take breakfast with us?"
9963Will you tell him what I conceive to be the facts in regard to Mr. Egerton?
9963Will you?"
9963Wo n''t you and Lucy give me the added pleasure of your company?"
9963Would he be very much vexed with her?"
9963Would it help to reconcile you to the denial of your wish to know that I shall be reading the book, and probably enjoying it as much as you would?"
9963Would you advise me to set my cap for him?"
9963Would you like to look at the rooms?"
9963Would you like to look at them?"
9963Would you love me less if I should become lame or ill?"
9963Would you mind going down alone and entertaining him till I come?
9963Would you wish to go and leave me quite alone?"
9963Would you?"
9963You always wear it one way, do n''t you?"
9963You do n''t approve of her choice?"
9963You do n''t think I want to be disobedient or wilful?"
9963You do not fear that she still clings to the old love?"
9963You expect me to swallow that?"
9963You tell me her whereabouts and provide me with a letter of introduction, eh?"
9963You will bring it up at once?"
9963You will not let this unhappy circumstance turn you against your old friend?
9963You wo n''t think of staying away, Elsie?"
9963You would like to go, daughter?"
9963You''ll stay and see him when he calls, wo n''t you?"
9963ah, are you not ashamed of failing to recognize so old a friend?"
9963alone and on foot at this late hour?"
9963and I am to understand that you would like me to gratify it, eh?"
9963and Lucy looked quite horrified;"but you do n''t believe him such a villain?"
9963and do you think mamma knows, and that she would like it?"
9963and do you think my own mamma would like it?"
9963and going to stay in Lansdale all summer?
9963and how long will you be away?"
9963and how''s Arthur now?"
9963and how?
9963and is there no word for me-- none at all?"
9963and mamma, and little Horace?
9963and pray how old were you when you married the first time?
9963and shall you call her mamma?"
9963and what do you think?
9963and what does she know about it?
9963and what was then the age of Elsie''s mother?"
9963and why did you never accept?"
9963and wo n''t give him up; will you?"
9963asked Walter, with intense interest;"do you think she cares for him?"
9963but you are older now; and you will let me write and ask his consent?
9963by what right do you apply such epithets to me?
9963called a sweet- toned voice from the foot of the back staircase;"are you up?
9963can it be possible that you care for that wretch?"
9963could you let me finish this chapter?"
9963did her father fear that she would exert a bad influence over Horace, teaching him to be disobedient and wilful?
9963do n''t you find the day very long and tedious?"
9963do you really receive and answer a letter from your father every day?"
9963do you really think it your duty to obey his wishes as well as his command?"
9963do you suppose I''m to be ordered about by you?
9963does n''t it make you feel angry with your father and love him a little less?"
9963does she write much for that periodical?"
9963exclaimed Rose, half frightened at his vehemence,"you can not mean it?"
9963gone?
9963handsome as a picture?"
9963hard and cruel to my darling whom I love better than my life?
9963have I been a naughty boy, to- day?"
9963have I lost the first place in my daughter''s heart?"
9963have you had an accident?"
9963have you so little regard for the honor of your sex as to own that the man is ever that?
9963have you the note about you?"
9963he added as she rose to obey,"when did all this occur?"
9963he asked;"or would you prefer to go on living just as we have been, you and I together?
9963he cried, scarcely less astonished than herself,"can it be that you do not know-- that you have not heard of her engagement to Edward Allison?"
9963he is going to be my brother; and then wo n''t you be some sort of relation too?
9963he not here?"
9963he said;"were you very lonely this evening?"
9963how can I be sure of even my own existence?
9963how could it be otherwise when for so many years each was all the other had?
9963how could you?"
9963how did you get here?"
9963how do I know that I am what I believe myself to be?
9963how long will his displeasure last?"
9963how so?"
9963hurt?
9963if it is possible that you love that boy better than your father?"
9963is he quite determined to make an old maid of you?"
9963is that you?"
9963mine''s done; what do you think of it, Miss Dinsmore?"
9963not half so well; how could you think it?"
9963or mine?
9963or shall I?"
9963or you, Miss King?"
9963she asked,"has anything gone wrong with our darling, or at home?"
9963she murmured, as she paced restlessly to and fro,"how can I obey if you bid me give him up?
9963shouted Scip, making a dash at the horse,"who dat lettah fur?
9963that is her father''s wealthy, eh?"
9963that you will weary and disgust Him with your continual coming?"
9963the honor of a sharper, a black- leg, a----""Sir, do you mean to insult me?
9963was n''t she pleased to see you?
9963what can she have done to displease you?"
9963what dat?"
9963what favorable wind blew you here?"
9963what fo''you go for to fotch de company right yere into dis yere ole dirty kitchen?"
9963what hab resturbed you so, honey?"
9963what has gone wrong with you, my daughter?"
9963what has she to do with my papa''s affairs?"
9963what have I done to your pet?"
9963what is it all about?
9963what is there in this news to make me sorry?"
9963what is wrong with our darling?
9963what made you ask?"
9963what''s the matter?
9963what''s the matter?"
9963when?
9963where?
9963where?"
9963who would have expected to see you here?"
9963who, daughter?"
9963whose baby is it?"
9963would he keep the sweet lassie single a''her days, Miss Dinsmore?"
9963would n''t she stay?"
9963would she promise some day to be his own precious little wife?"
9963would you break my heart?"
9963yo''s and Massa Herbert''s?
9963you do n''t say?
9963you do not approve of duelling?"
9963you were up all night, were you not?"
