61353How about keeping an eye on me?
61353How long could you keep the suit going, Sam?"
61353I assume it will only take a minute or two to sign it and affix seals and so on?"
61353I have some news that I think will interest you--""Where are you, Retief?

61434A caste? 61434 A fifty- fifty split?
61434Afraid? 61434 And did you notice the size of those hands?"
61434And the Qornt are responsible for the ultimatum-- unilaterally?
61434And you''re the one, eh, Qorn?
61434Are n''t you a Qornt?
61434Are there any Qornt down there at the harbor, where the boats are?
61434At Tarroon, you mean? 61434 Diplomats?
61434Do you know anything about a Note passed to the Terrestrial Ambassador at Smorbrod?
61434Fifteen or twenty what?
61434Gentlemen, are any of you familiar with a race known as the Qornt?
61434Have you thought of forsaking your warlike ways?
61434How about it, fellows? 61434 How does it happen that you speak Terrestrial?"
61434How is it that these Qornt are allowed to embark on piratical ventures of this sort without reference to the wishes of the majority?
61434How many Qornt would you say there are at Tarroon?
61434I do n''t suppose,Magnan said casually,"that you''d know the type, tonnage, armament and manning of these vessels?
61434I wonder what the significance of the white ensign might be?
61434I? 61434 I_ should_ call them back, but since the fleet is out of contact, I''m unable to do so, correct?
61434Live too long?
61434Need I remind you, sir,he said icily,"that this is an official diplomatic function?
61434Next?
61434Not afraid of a few Qornt, are you, Magnan?
61434Now your Excellency, we''ve arranged to evacuate Smorbrod, of course, just as you requested--"Requested?
61434Oh? 61434 Smorbrod?
61434These fellows Zubb and Slun-- Oh, they seem affable enough, but how can we be sure we''re not being led into a trap?
61434These few hotheads are permitted to embroil the planet in war?
61434This is Tarroon?
61434Underground? 61434 Want peace, do you?
61434Well? 61434 What about a stiff Note demanding an extra week''s time?"
61434What about taking up sheepherding and regular church attendance?
61434What about the gag?
61434What are the differences between you, then?
61434What did he say?
61434What do Qornt turn into?
61434What good would that do? 61434 What kind of reception would we get?"
61434What kind of vessels? 61434 What''s your proposal?"
61434What?
61434When will the feast be over?
61434Where are you going, Magnan?
61434Who are the new Qornt?
61434Why do n''t you go invade somebody else?
61434Why not do it another way?
61434Why not turn the reins of government over to the Verpp? 61434 Why should they?"
61434Why was I not informed of the arrangements? 61434 Why?"
61434You are Commander of the Strike Force, I assume?
61434You come from Guzzum, eh? 61434 You expect me to make my way back alone?"
61434You find the situation amusing? 61434 You mean that there are only fifteen or twenty individual Qornt in all?"
61434A compromise?
61434Alternate territory?
61434And by the way, did you by any chance discover the technique of the indetectable drive the Qornt use?"
61434And how many units comprise the fleet?
61434And where they''re based at present?"
61434Any recommendation?"
61434Anything else?"
61434But what I say is, why rush things?"
61434Doing what?"
61434How big a navy does Enlightened Galactic Opinion have?"
61434How many Qornt?"
61434How many of you are there?"
61434It''s war to the knife, eh?"
61434Magnan?"
61434Monetary reparations?
61434More time?
61434Negotiations?
61434Peace?"
61434Then what would happen?"
61434Warships?"
61434Well?"
61434What is it you''re after?
61434What other kind would the Qornt bother with?"
61434What shall we do with them?"
61434What was I to assume at the sight of eighty- five war vessels over my headquarters, unannounced?"
61434Who ordered these recruits to embark without my permission?"
61434You mean they''re biologically the same as you?"

61139Are you leaving the office?
61139At this hour? 61139 But then it was n''t of any importance, was it, Shluh?"
61139Can you hit it?
61139Determined to hang yourselves, are n''t you?
61139Did you flee Groac and risk all on this slender thread?
61139Did you murder them, cut their throats, shoot them or bury them alive? 61139 Did you write all Whaffle''s letters for him, Miss Meuhl?"
61139Do n''t you see what you''re letting yourself in for? 61139 Guns?

61139They never found the cruiser, did they?
61139They''re alive?
61139To let me pass or to rot in this spot, fool?
61139To what end, Terrestrial? 61139 Was this your plan, Retief?"
61139What about this fellow?
61139What are you planning to do?
61139What did you do with it? 61139 What did you say to him?"
61139What do you know of Groacian naval vessels?

61139Which of those boats are ready to lift?
61139Why did n''t you?
61139Why do you venture here?
61139Would it not be best if we removed this deranged person to a place of safety?
61139You mean when they came looking for the cruiser?
61139You mean you broke in? 61139 You never learn, do you?
61139You think to match orbits with the derelict? 61139 You''ll... lock him in his quarters?"
61139A close call, eh?"
61139A squad of armed Groaci in the consulate?"
61139And you--""Terrible?
61139Are they all fueled up?
61139Are you sure you meant to go this far, Miss Meuhl?
61139But we did not know what foods--""Did n''t take the trouble to find out, either, did you?"
61139But we have tried to make amends....""Where is the ship?"
61139Can you read me?
61139Did they''fall ill''before the big parade?"
61139Did those shuttles just get in, or is that the ready line?"
61139Did you mention the six Terrestrials who were killed here?"
61139Do n''t you understand the implication?
61139I certainly hope you''re not thinking of openly intruding--""Why?"
61139I wonder what a direct hit with a fifty mega- ton missile would do to it?"
61139Is this glimpse worth the death we die?"
61139No, no guns--""They raised their hands, did n''t they?
61139Research, maybe?
61139Retief?"
61139That was a shock, was n''t it?
61139The one that disappeared out this way about ten years back?"
61139Then what?
61139Were it not for your diplomatic immunity, I should do more--""Why did the government fall, Fith?
61139What amusing end did you figure out for them?
61139What happened to the rest of the crew?
61139What was behind the coup d''etat that put the present government in power?"
61139What''s happened to your clothing?"
61139Where did you get them?
61139Where did you hide the ship?
61139Where is it?"
61139Which is the''north''end of that crevasse?"
61139Without power?
61139You burgled the Foreign Office?"
61139involvement?"
61139it?"
61139that?"
21627A big spender, eh?
21627After you get in power, you''ll be fast friends with Rotune, is that it?
21627And Rotune knows about it?
21627And carry their damn dead bodies down?
21627Are you sure we ought to push right in like this? 21627 But how can we_ know?_"Magnan yelped.
21627But what about the man Zorn?
21627By who, the Nenni?
21627Do n''t you recognize this gentleman?
21627Do they?
21627Does Zorn know you''ve got your tower rigged for suckers?
21627Him? 21627 How can we be sure?"
21627How do I know you birds are n''t lying?
21627How is it, Retief,he said sharply,"that you were aware of this blaster business, when the Ambassador himself was n''t?"
21627How much longer can he hold it?
21627How often does this random pattern put the hole down?
21627I do n''t suppose your machine has a habit of getting stuck, like Kippy''s?
21627Is n''t that the purpose of your revolution?
21627More un- Nenni- like, sir?
21627Nothing''s happened yet, you''re sure?
21627Okay; what''s your idea?
21627Out- of- towners, hey?
21627Right?
21627So what do we do-- plow''em under with back- yard cultivators?
21627So what? 21627 Some trouble here?"
21627Suppose I make you another offer, Zorn?
21627That fellow in the lead; is n''t he the one who spilled the drink? 21627 That would mess up a man''s dealing hand, would n''t it?"
21627That''s what Rotune has sold you, eh?
21627The Corps wo n''t have anything to say then, huh?
21627Threats? 21627 Weapons, hey?"
21627What about that gambler, Zorn? 21627 What about the big guy?
21627What are all the knives for?
21627What are you getting at?
21627What do we do now?
21627What do you mean?
21627What do you mean?
21627What do you mean?
21627What does Rotune get out of this? 21627 What does he mean?"
21627What good will that do him?
21627What happened? 21627 What time will that be?"
21627What would you call big?
21627What''s a zoop tower?
21627What''s going on here?
21627What''s going on there?
21627What''s happened to your shoes? 21627 What''s it all about?"
21627What''s keeping Shoke?
21627What''s the ante?
21627What''s the biggest you''ve got?
21627What''s the point?
21627What''s your friend pulling?
21627Where do I buy the chips?
21627Where do you get that''afraid''routine? 21627 Where does Zorn stay when he''s in town?"
21627Who are you afraid of?
21627Who''s in charge of this?
21627Who''s''we''?
21627Why are you doing that?
21627Why is Rotune interested in your take- over?
21627Why would it be any better than the last one, chiseler?
21627You guys think I''m a piker, do you? 21627 You know what Petreac is getting in the way of imports as a result of the agreement?"
21627You mean you intend to oppress the people? 21627 You tryin''to call me a cheat or something?"
21627You trying to upset the system or something?
21627You''re basing a revolt on these cynical premises?
21627*****"What if I let your boys alone?"
21627And what do you suppose they have in mind for you?"
21627Are you--?"
21627But could n''t you curve your back just a bit-- and possibly assume a more placating expression?
21627Do I make myself clear?"
21627How do we get to the casino?"
21627How many?"
21627How much money do you have in your pockets?"
21627Is that a reason to kill yourself and a lot of other people who''ve bet their lives on you?"
21627Just act a little more....""Girlish?"
21627Magnan?"
21627Okay?"
21627So there''ll be no agreement, no guns, no fat job for Tammany Zorn, hey?
21627The one you took the blame for?"
21627Well, I can still play it the other way, What have I got to lose?"
21627What are you men--?"
21627What good would it do us to run Petreac if there''s no loot?"
21627Where are your insignia and decorations?"
21627Who tells Shoke what all to do?"
21627Who''s first?"
21627Wo n''t he be upset?"
21627You ever heard of a world they call Rotune?"
21627You think we''re throwing up good jobs for the fun of it?"
21627Zorn?"
61263Ah... are you there, Retief?
61263And when will they be shipped?
61263And where will they be going?
61263Any connection?
61263Are you Mr. Retief of CDT?
61263Are you sure?
61263Armaments? 61263 Armaments?"
61263But have you got anything for me?
61263Can I help you?
61263Croanie? 61263 Did n''t I tell you?
61263Do you know the name of the institution these Bogan students are bound for?
61263Drill rigs, that sort of thing?
61263From where? 61263 Hank, why do n''t you walk Mr. Karsh over to the warehouse and... ah... take care of him?"
61263Have a cigar?
61263Have you lost your markets? 61263 How do you know what I''m thinking?
61263How many men do you need for the harvest, Hank?
61263How''s Boge''s business coming along?
61263I wonder if the Bogans know that?
61263Is Mr. Gulver in the office? 61263 Is that any way for a student to act?"
61263Karsh? 61263 Lovenbroy?"
61263No female students?
61263Oh, you know about it, huh?
61263Say, uh, Mr. Karsh, are we gon na get to go to town? 61263 So?"
61263That''s worse than listening in on phone conversations, eh? 61263 The Bogans?
61263Two thousand students? 61263 Two thousand?
61263University? 61263 Was there anything further?"
61263What can I do for you?
61263What do you know about Croanie?
61263What is it, Miss Furkle?
61263What kind of business do you do with a Bolo WV? 61263 What kind of university do they have on d''Land?"
61263What seems to be the problem?
61263What would you say to two thousand?
61263What''s going on here?
61263What''s the problem? 61263 What-- what''s this?"
61263Where does doing your job stop and prying begin, Miss Furkle?
61263Where does the Libraries and Education Division come in?
61263Where''s the baggage now?
61263Who gets the tractors eventually?
61263Who gets them?
61263Who told you it was impounded?
61263Will all the exchange students be studying at the Technical College?
61263Will there be any other students embarking this season?
61263Would that be the Technical College?
61263You on good terms with them?
61263You probably never heard about the trouble we had on Lovenbroy a few years back?
61263You work for this Culture bunch, do you? 61263 Your man-- he''s going too?"
61263*****"What is it you wish?"
61263And in any event, what business is it of yours how we plan to use the equipment?
61263Are the students all loaded?"
61263Boy, this is a drag, sitting around this place waiting....""You meeting somebody?"
61263But I scarcely see--""And who''s the friend you''re helping out with an unauthorized transshipment of grant material?"
61263But how come you did n''t tell me you were coming, Retief?
61263But this year....""The crop is n''t panning out?"
61263But why were n''t you picking grapes with the rest of us?"
61263By the way, is n''t a WV a poor choice as a mining outfit?
61263Croanie about to foreclose?"
61263Ever seen it pouring rain in the sunshine?
61263Ever tried to hold onto a gal wearing nothing but a layer of grape juice?"
61263Frankly-- is this a closed line?"
61263Gulver?"
61263Has it arrived yet?
61263Have you talked this over with the Labor Office?"
61263How many this time?"
61263How many tractors will Croanie be getting under the MEDDLE program?"
61263How many tractors?"
61263Is n''t that correct?"
61263Karsh?"
61263Never saw a student with a beard, did you?"
61263Now I do n''t know if you''re familiar with the Bacchus vines we grow...?"
61263Now, if you needed a troop of Groaci nose- flute players--""Can they pick grapes?"
61263Okay if I come up?"
61263Or are you coming along?"
61263Pretty dumb, huh?
61263Retief, you''re not fooling?"
61263That sounds like a matter for the Commercial--""Lost our markets?
61263Then next vintage time, with them holding half our grape acreage--""You hocked the vineyards?"
61263We fellas were thinking--""You were, hah?
61263What about my baggage?
61263What are they getting?"
61263What are you going to do with the other four hundred and ninety tractors?"
61263What''s happened?"
61263Where''s that Magnan fellow?"
61263Why all this interest in a few surplus tractors?
61263Why do n''t you join us?"
61263Why is MUDDLE interested in MEDDLE''s activities?"
61263Would you have us branded as warmongers?
61263You a Scoutmaster?"
61263You''re meeting the students, are you?"
61459All ready, gentlemen?
61459Am I keeping you from something, Taine?
61459Anything to hide, Jake?
61459But tell me, General-- who''s actually running the show?
61459Complain? 61459 Dad''s all right, is n''t he?"
61459Do n''t you suppose we have time to just rig up one little old circuit?
61459Do you mind pointing that thing in some other direction?
61459Eh? 61459 Eh?"
61459Expecting trouble?
61459GFE? 61459 Got a light?"
61459Guns?
61459Hey, you ca n''t go down there--"Something going on there, Jake?
61459How come you keep trying to get me to say stuff I ai n''t supposed to talk about? 61459 How did it go, Taine?"
61459How do you get it out? 61459 How would I know?"
61459Huh? 61459 Huh?
61459Huh? 61459 Huh?"
61459I take it he was in the army under the old regime?
61459In my place-- would you hesitate?
61459Is n''t that a gun I see sticking out?
61459Just between us, Jake-- where did the former Planetary Manager General go?
61459Look, we can come to an agreement--"What''s the Birthday Cake?
61459May I ask the source?
61459Meanwhile, let the rest of''em have their fun, eh Jake?
61459Mind if I sit down?
61459Missing men?
61459Monitors?
61459Oh? 61459 Oh?
61459Quiet, is n''t it?
61459Rather old- fashioned equipment is n''t it? 61459 Records being kept up properly?"
61459Rigid class structure, maybe? 61459 Say, what is this?
61459Shooting, eh? 61459 The Ambassador''s compliments, sir, and will you join him and the staff in the conference room at once?"
61459The boss? 61459 The lift will take us all the way down, wo n''t it?"
61459They any better than the old ones?
61459We got as much right as anybody--"Jake, who''s Corasol?
61459Weather?
61459Were n''t you the one who got word to them?
61459What about Horny and Pud? 61459 What about the good corporal?"
61459What do you plan to do now?
61459What kind of diplomat are you?
61459What made him do it?
61459What''s become of the Planetary Manager General and the technical staff? 61459 What''s in that?"
61459What''s it all about, Jake?
61459What''s the GFE?
61459What''s the population?
61459What''s your basic power source, a core sink? 61459 Whatta ya mean, natives?
61459Whatta ya mean? 61459 Where does the big leader keep himself?"
61459Where is it? 61459 Where were the girls last seen?"
61459Where''s the new Premier keeping himself? 61459 Where?"
61459Which of you gentlemen is Manager- General Corasol?
61459Who are you fellows hiding from, the top sergeant?
61459Who do I complain to?
61459Who paid for your potbelly, Sozier?
61459Who''s gone?
61459Who''s he?
61459Who''s this party, Jake?
61459Yes, yes? 61459 You got no gun?"
61459You mean... you''re getting out here?
61459You wanta see the Power Plant?
61459You''ll be heading for the port?
61459You''re not... one of them?
61459Your own post? 61459 *****What are you talking about?
61459*****"Who... who are you?"
61459Ambassador,"he said breathlessly,"but I must--""Well, what is it, man?
61459Ambassador?"
61459And how do the peasants and workers plan to operate the atmospheric purification system, the Weather Control station, the tide regulation complexes?"
61459Are they natives?"
61459Does he share your passion for privacy?"
61459Educational discrimination?"
61459Feeling better?"
61459GFE?
61459How did they leave?
61459How do you plan to get through them?"
61459How much?"
61459Known Sozier long?"
61459Lithospheric friction?
61459Not enough to eat?
61459Remarkable, is n''t it, considering that the entire managerial class has packed up and left?"
61459Retief?"
61459Sozier?"
61459Sub- crustal hydraulics?"
61459Tell me, what was the real cause of the revolution?
61459The deal has n''t gone sour?"
61459Too much regimentation?"
61459Utilities, police, transport, environmental control--""What about Space Control?
61459What about?"
61459What do the letters SIGNIFY?"
61459What''s the Birthday Cake?"
61459What''s wrong with it?"
61459Whatta you say?"
61459When was it installed?"
61459Where can I catch a cab for the city?"
61459Where exactly did the refugees head for?
61459Which way?"
61459Which way?"
61459Which way?"
61459Who''s included in that category, Jake?"
61459Why not?"
61459Why the desire for solitude, Taine?
61459Will we be welcomed by these peasants or peppered with buckshot?"
61459You see the tank aboard the lorry that just pulled up?
61459You think I might fall victim to an accident?"
61459You want to get me in trouble?"
61459You would n''t by any chance have plans?"
34925A gentleman-- I suppose?
34925A good many slides, I imagine; rather heavy, were n''t they?
34925A man?
34925About last night?
34925About the Colonel?
34925About the state of your affections for Miss Fitzgerald, you mean?
34925After I corrected the register?
34925Ah, is it so? 34925 Am I to take that remark in a political sense?"
34925Am I to understand,he inquired,"that you''re asking me my intentions?"
34925And Miss Fitzgerald signed in the place of the bride, to divert suspicion?
34925And breakfasted with her,_ tête- à- tête_ at a farmhouse?
34925And did n''t he, moreover, catch you in the act of proposing to Miss Fitzgerald?
34925And discloses, what?
34925And do you mean to discover it?
34925And for me, you do this?
34925And has n''t her husband challenged you to a duel on her account?
34925And have n''t you asked the Marchioness for Lady Isabelle''s hand?
34925And have n''t you seen her?
34925And his intimacy with Lieutenant Kingsland?
34925And his name?
34925And how did you know of this charming spot?
34925And in all this, what is there to compel me to keep your secret?
34925And in that case?
34925And is there a woman, whom you-- shall we say,''respect''enough to believe in-- no matter what is said of her?
34925And it was?
34925And made you the recipient of the fact of his generosity?
34925And now, Bob, why have you arrived so unexpectedly in Sussex?
34925And now?
34925And now?
34925And on mine?
34925And she denied it?
34925And she has given you these letters, knowing they would be shown to me?
34925And that is?
34925And that is?
34925And the others----?
34925And the president of that company?
34925And walked with her early in the morning?
34925And what am I to discover there?
34925And what is that, your Ladyship?
34925And what was her answer?
34925And what will he find?
34925And what would the philanthropic Englishman receive for his services?
34925And when you''ve found her, what then? 34925 And where?''
34925And why not, pray?
34925And you can think of me,he said,"at a time like this?"
34925And you dare to ask any woman to allow such a slander to live when she can deny it?
34925And you forced his consent?
34925And you let the specie go?
34925And you proposed-- when-- that day?
34925And you wo n''t prosecute?
34925And your second piece of news?
34925Another aunt?
34925Answer!--haven''t you made it clear to her what that answer is to be?
34925Are n''t you clever enough to know the result of that?
34925Are we not both Isabelles? 34925 Are you Jack Kingsland''s wife?"
34925Are you sure you''re making a wise choice, Lady Isabelle?
34925At least, you will help me to prove myself wrong?
34925Away from here?
34925Away?
34925But did she actually_ say_ so?
34925But do you realise the position in which you place me with Miss Fitzgerald?
34925But had you a right----?
34925But he''s married, surely?
34925But how account for Lady Isabelle''s presence?
34925But how can I, with no money and no friends?
34925But how could Mr. Lambert have told him an untruth?
34925But how did you come to see Darcy?
34925But if I were put away, you would help me?
34925But if she could prove that he_ did_ deliver them, he might be charged with complicity?
34925But if you did n''t believe them, why did you refuse to give me a definite answer?
34925But if you love me---- Do you love me?
34925But in no other way?
34925But is it possible that he could have married them without knowing it?
34925But is that possible?
34925But is there any danger of your doing so-- doesn''t the telegram expressly state that he means to make you his heir?
34925But mamma might be trusted?
34925But suppose he''s left it in London?
34925But surely there''s a gate?
34925But surely this little difference will not be lasting-- I hoped----"Would you wish me to marry Miss Fitzgerald, Lady Isabelle?
34925But the name?
34925But then, how can you doubt?
34925But they meant that-- or something like it?
34925But what are the charges?
34925But what if he refuse?
34925But what is this bribe?
34925But what is to be done?
34925But what is to be done?
34925But what to do?
34925But what''s that to do with this?
34925But where do I come in?
34925But who is she?
34925But why did you leave me? 34925 But why do I think of myself?"
34925But why not?
34925But why should she object?
34925But why should you be chosen?
34925But why should you be?
34925But you and Mr. Stanley are very old friends, are you not?
34925But you must have some idea?
34925But you''ll forgive him, will you not? 34925 But you''ll tell mamma before you go?"
34925But you''ve eyes, have n''t you?
34925But you? 34925 But your engagements?"
34925But, Inez, surely you trusted me?
34925But, surely, you''re not alluding to the lady who formed our topic of conversation this morning?
34925But,peering down into the darkness of the tower,"where''s Darcy''s letter?"
34925By Mr. Stanley, perhaps?
34925By the arrest of the conspirators?
34925Ca n''t you help me?
34925Ca n''t you trust me, Jim? 34925 Can I not warn him?"
34925Can anybody get the chests out?
34925Can anything be worse?
34925Can you prove this?
34925Can you prove your point?
34925Can you suppose I did n''t realise that keenly? 34925 Concerning Colonel Darcy?"
34925Could I ask you to do me a very great favour?
34925Could n''t you help to make it a little more bearable-- for instance?
34925Darcy? 34925 Derby?"
34925Deucedly hard hit, I suppose?
34925Did he do this?
34925Did she specify what he''d done?
34925Did they give you a receipt for it?
34925Did you need his confirmation of my word?
34925Did you notice what it looked like?
34925Did you say them?
34925Did you tell him so?
34925Did you think?
34925Do I understand you to insinuate that the Marchioness has prevaricated?
34925Do n''t you see it''s impossible? 34925 Do n''t you suppose I know that?"
34925Do n''t you think we had better change the subject?
34925Do n''t you? 34925 Do you consider''common decency''just the word to apply to the transaction?"
34925Do you desire a complete geographical and political disquisition?
34925Do you give it?
34925Do you know him?
34925Do you know that it is the truth?
34925Do you love me so little that there can be a question of choice?
34925Do you love this man?
34925Do you mean to say that you deliberately left me to my fate?
34925Do you mind so much?
34925Do you think it was nice of you to take me in to dinner?
34925Do you think so? 34925 Do you think you understand what that comprises?"
34925Do you understand it?
34925Does he know?
34925Does he take his wife with him?
34925Does it give you all the information you required?
34925Does it lead anywhere?
34925Does it never form the_ whole_ of such a union?
34925Does mamma approve?
34925Drinking alone? 34925 Ever heard of any locks like this one?"
34925Exactly, and what did you say to the young ladies?
34925Explain?
34925For her?
34925For his sake?
34925For old friendship''s sake-- could I do less?
34925For whom?
34925Habout the woman, sir?
34925Have I generally bungled your affairs with Little Diplomacy?
34925Have I not trusted you, my friend?
34925Have n''t you had sufficient time?
34925Have they?
34925Have you been making discoveries?
34925Have you really never been here before?
34925Have you seen Colonel Darcy to- day?
34925Have you seen your friend?
34925Have you still got the receipt?
34925He''s an old friend of yours?
34925Her present position is, to say the least, equivocal; and as a divorcée----"Oh, come, Kent- Lauriston, ca n''t you let anyone alone? 34925 How I stand?"
34925How about that Hunt Ball at Leamington?
34925How about the Company?
34925How are you to- day?
34925How can I do this?
34925How can you do me so much wrong? 34925 How can you tell unless you''ve looked?"
34925How could I, when my suspicions were directed against your own husband?
34925How could Sanks have made the mistake in my address? 34925 How could he make such a mistake?"
34925How could she have known anything about it? 34925 How could you think I should do otherwise, after your discoveries of last night?"
34925How dared you do it?
34925How dared you do it?
34925How dared you do it?
34925How did you ever do it?
34925How did you know that?
34925How did you know that?
34925How did you know?
34925How do you know?
34925How do you like your tea?
34925How do you make that out?
34925How do you mean?
34925How has it been possible for him to get in?
34925How long have you been out there?
34925How so?
34925How so?
34925How was it sent up?
34925How was that possible?
34925I ask you-- Are you Lieutenant Kingsland''s wife?
34925I asked Miss Fitzgerald if she was Lieutenant Kingsland''s wife?
34925I do n''t agree with you,she cried vehemently, springing to her feet,"not at all; but what difference does it make?
34925I do not think it necessary, really; do you? 34925 I explained to him that there was nothing to be displeased about; but he would n''t have none of it and said----""Yes, yes, what did he say?"
34925I hate him more than any man in the world, and yet----"You''re in his power?
34925I met the steward in the hall-- a letter to be posted?
34925I presume I''m not to defend my friend?
34925I regret to say that I have got into a little scrape, sir, concerning which will you give me leave to clear myself?
34925I say, Stanley,he remarked,"do you know Bob Darcy?"
34925I say,he ventured to expostulate--"you know I am no milksop-- but do n''t you think that you and the Colonel are getting a trifle thick?
34925I say,queried her instructor, in one of the pauses of the game,"do you know that little diplomatic affair of yours has turned up again?
34925I see, and you want me to show him these letters?
34925I suppose it wo n''t do for me to ask how you''re progressing, and what you''ve found out?
34925I suppose there''s plenty to discover?
34925I suppose you have n''t been wasting your time?
34925I suppose you told the bank authorities what was in the chests?
34925I suppose,he said,"that as he was carrying so much of value, he''ll stop in London before going north?"
34925I think you need have no fears of not being restored to all your rights and privileges,he said,"and then?"
34925I understand-- He''s a man of means?
34925I wonder if Darcy''ll ever get his letter?
34925I wonder if there is really anything serious in that affair?
34925I''ll follow your instructions literally; but how am I to have the opportunity of doing this?
34925I-- er-- trust you do not contemplate doing anything-- foolish?
34925I?
34925If I really were to marry you,she asked,"would you desert me as you did yesterday?"
34925In that case?
34925Indeed, yes,--but what means have I?
34925Is Lieutenant Kingsland in the house?
34925Is he a member of the conspiracy?
34925Is it to be a large party?
34925Is n''t it your naval sobriquet?
34925Is not the woman you are defending one of them?
34925Is she so bitter? 34925 Is that all?"
34925Is that all?
34925Is that all?
34925Is that correct? 34925 Is that the help you wanted?"
34925Is there someone-- then-- someone you love? 34925 It is different in your country, then?"
34925It is what you in this country call a whim, is it not? 34925 It looks dangerously like treason, does n''t it?"
34925It shall be held sacred; but who is to warn my husband?
34925It''s all right then?
34925It''s not for me to belie my own sex,she retorted,"but----""You mean there is a woman in the case?"
34925Jim?
34925Jimsy Stanley, I suppose you mean?
34925John,he continued to the functionary who appeared,"did I send Mrs. Roberts of Roberts''Hall, Sussex, a telegram this morning?"
34925Just my luck, why did n''t you attend to them earlier?
34925Kingsland knew nothing about it?
34925Lady Isabelle and the Lieutenant?
34925Last night? 34925 Lieutenant Kingsland?"
34925Lieutenant-- Kingsland-- is he going away?
34925Little rapid, is n''t she? 34925 Look here, Kent- Lauriston, if you''re insinuating that Kingsland put her up to----""Far from it, my boy, how could I insinuate anything so unlikely?
34925Madame,he returned,"what can I do?
34925May I ask to what you imagine Darcy''s expression,''all I hold most dear,''refers?
34925May I inquire what it is?
34925Miss Fitzgerald,he said very quietly, as he stood before them,"will you permit me to ask you a question?"
34925Miss Fitzgerald? 34925 Miss Fitzgerald?"
34925Mother,she said,"would you think me very rude if I asked for Mr. Lambert''s company for a few moments?
34925Mr. Riddle''s slides, eh?
34925Mr. Riddle,asked the Secretary,"who is he?"
34925Mr. Stanley, have you seen my daughter?
34925My dear Colonel, are you sure you have it to sell?
34925My life, for instance?
34925No? 34925 None, thank goodness; but I''d like to do a pal a good turn, and so----""Well?"
34925Not Colonel Robert Darcy?
34925Not believe in love? 34925 Not feeling fit?"
34925Not on Mr. Stanley''s side?
34925Not to meet our charming enchantress?
34925Nothing to be seen-- isn''t there? 34925 Nothing, if the Marchioness does n''t suspect?"
34925Now about those letters?
34925Now frankly,she continued,"before you saw me, or spoke to me, you''d made up your mind to save your friend from my clutches, had you not?
34925Now what did you expect to receive from this transaction?
34925Now you understand why I have come?
34925Now, what''s the use of arguing suppositious cases when I''m pressed for time? 34925 Of course-- with all my heart-- and then you''ll go back to London and take Mr. Sanks''advice, wo n''t you?"
34925Oh, Arthur Riddle, do n''t you know him? 34925 Oh, I say,"blurted out that officer,"I think we''ve got an appointment after lunch, have n''t we?"
34925Oh, does n''t she?
34925Oh, is that all?
34925Oh,said the Lieutenant,"so she''s refused you, eh?"
34925On what grounds?
34925Or the evidence which led to such an unfortunate result? 34925 Perhaps Miss Fitzgerald enjoyed a run of luck to compensate her for the assemblage?"
34925Perhaps that was not the only favour Miss Fitzgerald looked for, and the Lieutenant''s hands----"What do you mean?
34925Perhaps you know my chief?
34925Puzzled? 34925 Quite right, Lady Isabelle, and may I give you a parting word of caution?
34925Quite so-- but-- when would you wish the ceremony to take place?
34925Randell, are you drunk or dreaming? 34925 Really, love me?"
34925Really? 34925 Really?"
34925Shall I enlighten you as to the professional secrets of the habitual tea- goer? 34925 Shall I turn out the electric lights in the smoking- room?"
34925Shall we have it now?
34925She told him?
34925Should you? 34925 So I supposed; it has n''t occurred to you to take it in a more literal sense?"
34925So that''s the way the land lies, is it? 34925 So you think the Secretary will marry her?"
34925So you''ve come to me?
34925Some deuced little scrape?
34925Suffering from political ennui?
34925That is not what you call it-- it is not a pull----?
34925That''s all, I think,he continued,"except-- I suppose you''ll have no trouble in getting the money?"
34925That''s the real truth then?
34925The hall? 34925 The little Fitzgerald a pattern of all the virtues, eh?"
34925The same,--and look here, you wo n''t turn crusty, if I ask you a point- blank question?
34925The secret door?
34925The slides? 34925 The two most recent?"
34925Then I may hope that you will do me this great kindness?
34925Then I must choose between you two?
34925Then I suppose the drive is off?
34925Then he knows that you''re a married woman?
34925Then he thought I was referring to Lady Isabelle?
34925Then it does not contain incriminating evidence?
34925Then may we talk on some more congenial subject?
34925Then there was no disturbance?
34925Then why could n''t you come to the house and see me there?
34925Then why have n''t you gone? 34925 Then you convict Mr. Lambert of deception?"
34925Then you have some plan?
34925Then you really think that Miss Fitzgerald----?
34925Then you will?
34925To Miss Fitzgerald?
34925To speak to?
34925To thank me?
34925To you? 34925 Trusted you, my knight?
34925Under the circumstances, do you give me permission to do what I can to effect your release?
34925Want my advice, I suppose?
34925Was he----?
34925Was she with the parson at all, before the ceremony?
34925Was that all he told him?
34925Well, Jimsy,she said, using a form of address that the rack would never have wrung from his companion,"How are you?
34925Well, out with it, man: what did he tell you?
34925Well, supposing that this were not the case?
34925Well, what are you going to do about it?
34925Well, what shall I do-- ask him for it?
34925Well,he said despairingly, in conclusion,"what do you think, John?"
34925Well,he said sheepishly,"what have you to say?"
34925Well,said Darcy, shortly,"what of that?"
34925Well,she cried gaily,"why do n''t you speak?"
34925Well?
34925Well?
34925Well?
34925Well?
34925Well?
34925Well?
34925Were you then deprived of money? 34925 What Bob said, about you and his wife?"
34925What about that trip down the Thames?
34925What affair is that of yours?
34925What are the conditions?
34925What are you fumbling at?
34925What assurance have I that your government will play me fair if I turn state''s evidence?
34925What became of the other half?
34925What can I do for you?
34925What do you advise me to do?
34925What do you mean?
34925What do you mean?
34925What do you mean?
34925What do you offer in return?
34925What do you say?
34925What do you think he''ll find up there?
34925What do you think of my case, honestly?
34925What do you think of them?
34925What do you think?
34925What do you want of me? 34925 What does Jimsy say?"
34925What does this all mean?
34925What else?
34925What grounds have you for proving it?
34925What has he done?
34925What have I done, Jim?
34925What have you been doing all day?
34925What have you done? 34925 What have you done?"
34925What have you found?
34925What have you to do?
34925What is Colonel Darcy here for?
34925What is it?
34925What is it?
34925What is it?
34925What is it?
34925What is it?
34925What is she here for?
34925What is she like then?
34925What is that?
34925What is the payment, then, for which you ask?
34925What lady?
34925What must I do?
34925What of that? 34925 What on earth are you doing here at this time of night?"
34925What part did Kingsland play?
34925What prevented you from doing this?
34925What reason did she give for that statement?
34925What were they doing?
34925What''s all this to do with my position?
34925What''s that?
34925What''s that?
34925What, Jimsy?
34925What, Miss Fitzgerald?
34925What, Riddle?
34925What, are you going home?
34925What, down in this section of the city?
34925What, my private address?
34925What, was I only taken aside to be lectured?
34925What-- Inez? 34925 What-- how much was it?"
34925What-- isn''t Madame Darcy here?
34925When do you leave this vicinity, Colonel Darcy?
34925Where did it come from?
34925Where has she gone, then?
34925Where is Colonel Darcy?
34925Where is he going?
34925Where''s my letter, you thief?
34925Where?
34925Where?
34925Whither so early?
34925Who are our literary lights?
34925Who are you watching?
34925Who has done this?
34925Who has seen the book?
34925Who is Mr. Stanley to marry?
34925Who is he?
34925Who is he?
34925Who is it?
34925Who opened the door?
34925Who said anything about Miss Fitzgerald?
34925Who the devil are you?
34925Who the devil is he?
34925Who''s to have it?
34925Who?
34925Who?
34925Who?
34925Whom is it to go to?
34925Why could n''t you have told me that to begin with?
34925Why do you defend him?
34925Why do you include Lieutenant Kingsland?
34925Why do you say that?
34925Why do you still persist in harping upon my friend''s name?
34925Why has he entered this house secretly every night since he has been here?
34925Why not go up and see?
34925Why not return to your father?
34925Why not say a thing as well as mean it? 34925 Why not, when my wife has this moment left you?"
34925Why not? 34925 Why not?"
34925Why not?
34925Why not?
34925Why should my husband be a witness to this secret marriage?
34925Why, did n''t you know that, sir? 34925 Why, what is there to answer?"
34925Why? 34925 Why?
34925Why?
34925Why?
34925Why?
34925Why?
34925Will you be shocked if I say I''m glad of it?
34925Will you leave it in their charge subject to my order?
34925Will you sign it, please? 34925 Wo n''t you be glad to see him?"
34925Wo n''t you come into the house?
34925Woman?
34925Would my evidence be used publicly?
34925Would that be likely to induce him to make serious charges against her?
34925Would you mind shutting the door?
34925Would you mind speaking plainly?
34925Would you rather that I went?
34925Yes, if the advice comes from a woman-- but supposing it''s from a man?
34925Yes, what of it?
34925Yes?
34925Yes?
34925Yes?
34925Yes?
34925You are faint? 34925 You are much interested in these things?"
34925You are quite sure of what you are saying?
34925You asked him to propose to you?
34925You believe this?
34925You did n''t expect to see me? 34925 You do n''t know what it means to me?"
34925You do n''t regard our affair as serious?
34925You have seen Madame Darcy?
34925You knew the amount?
34925You know her name?
34925You know of this marriage then?
34925You know?
34925You lunching here?
34925You mean a divorce?
34925You mean he''ll keep to his engagement?
34925You mean that it was your duty to have him arrested?
34925You mean to get that letter to- night?
34925You mean to say that you will give it to me?
34925You mean you will procure a separation?
34925You read your licence, did n''t you?
34925You refer to Colonel Darcy?
34925You think so?
34925You think so?
34925You think there''s no escape from it?
34925You were at Ascot, I suppose?
34925You will not tell your hostess? 34925 You would n''t have his rooms searched?"
34925You''ll spend the night in town, then?
34925You''re quite sure?
34925You''ve heard nothing from your husband?
34925You''ve nothing to say?
34925You''ve seen Sanks?
34925You, Jim-- then?
34925Your husband? 34925 Your husband?"
34925--she continued, addressing the Secretary--"or we shall be late for dinner?"
34925A little headstrong, perhaps, and careless of what the world may say, but whom has she had to teach her better?
34925A moment later she was by Stanley''s side, saying:--"Will you take me to your guests?"
34925Affairs of that sort are not outlawed by the lapse of years; you understand?"
34925Aloud, he said:"Whom do you mean?"
34925Am I correct?"
34925An innocent instrument in the furtherance of their vile conspiracy?
34925And what did you propose to give to Miss Fitzgerald?"
34925And your party consists of--?"
34925Anything else?"
34925Are there other of my friends of whom you do not approve?"
34925Are you North in the shooting season?
34925Are you on the Thames?
34925Are you one of them?"
34925Are you still in your unregenerate state, or have you yet begun to see the fruits of your folly?"
34925As for the other?"
34925At length, however, the Colonel raised his head from his work, and, pushing it towards the Secretary, said laconically:--"Will it do?"
34925Burgling, were you?"
34925But Belle?
34925But do you assure me that she said''Lady Isabelle''?"
34925But how do you explain that sentence in your letter, in which you refer to there being a happy future for both of you?"
34925But of course-- I might have known-- Then that was Colonel Darcy?
34925But why do I stand talking at the gate-- come in, you''ve not perhaps had your breakfast yet this morning?"
34925But why not ask him for it?"
34925But, to change the subject, how have you been spending the evening?"
34925By the way, did you know that your especial admiration, Darcy, was planning to vacate at the earliest opportunity?"
34925By the way, have you succeeded in receiving your_ congé_ yet?"
34925CHAPTER XXXV THE SHORT WAY OUT"I suppose it''s hardly necessary to ask if you found Darcy''s letter?"
34925Can I do anything for you?"
34925Can you land him?
34925Come, confess, how many teas have you been to in the last seven days?"
34925Come, is that a fair offer?"
34925Could it be possible, he asked himself, that she suspected her husband?
34925Deeply as she has wronged me, have I any right to ruin her husband''s life by her exposure?
34925Did it prove that she was a dupe of these men?
34925Did it prove that she was a partner to the plot?
34925Did she lead you on?"
34925Did they?"
34925Did you or did you not give the Marchioness to understand, in your interview with her this morning, that you wished to marry her daughter?"
34925Did you, or did you not, marry Lady Isabelle McLane to Lieutenant Kingsland?"
34925Did your husband counsel you to insult his best friend?"
34925Do I state the case clearly?"
34925Do any betting?"
34925Do you believe me?"
34925Do you believe that?"
34925Do you doubt my word?
34925Do you feel sure of yourself?"
34925Do you follow me?"
34925Do you happen to know who_ are_ the heads of the firm in this country?"
34925Do you hunt?
34925Do you know how Miss Fitzgerald spent part of yesterday?"
34925Do you know the life of his native country?
34925Do you know the poor little thing had never seen Irving, or been inside the Lyceum?"
34925Do you love this man so little that you wish to ruin him?"
34925Do you see my position?"
34925Do you think I come to eat you out of house and home?"
34925Do you wonder I laugh?"
34925Do you?"
34925Does n''t your affair progress swimmingly?"
34925Does she ever do so?"
34925Does that satisfy you?
34925Drive round somehow, ca n''t you?"
34925Eh?"
34925Ever heard the Secretary''s ideas on hunting?"
34925Feeling fit?"
34925Finally he looked up, saying simply:--"You''ve read these letters?"
34925Had he not put down Mr. Riddle as a hypocrite, when that gentleman was one of the most open, whole- hearted and mirthful personages in existence?
34925Had he sacrificed himself for a woman like this?
34925Had n''t you the special licence to prove it?
34925Had you pity for Inez De Costa?"
34925Have I not trusted you this day with my soul, with my whole life?
34925Have I proved my point?"
34925Have n''t we got the parson and the church attached?
34925Have you ever seen him in his uniform?
34925Have you forgotten the old friendship?
34925Have you succeeded?"
34925Having finished the last drop, and disposed of his cigarette, his adviser looked up and said shortly:--"How did this begin?"
34925He fell back a step, as did the others, and Kingsland murmured in awe- struck tones:--"What''s that?"
34925He saw the Marchioness''satisfied smile, which said as plainly as words could:"There, what did I tell you?
34925Here, take it, will you?"
34925Horses, riding, hunting?
34925How came it in Belle''s hands-- the seal still unbroken, and why was it given to Darcy?
34925How can he be?"
34925How can people do such things?"
34925How dare you?"
34925How did you know which was my room?"
34925How do you men stand it, and having something to eat and a cup of tea at every place?"
34925How have you done so?"
34925How many cases?"
34925How should you?
34925How so?"
34925How were they obtained?"
34925How would you feel in his place?"
34925I am right?"
34925I hope there''s nothing wrong, that your chief has n''t forgotten his position, and turned fractious?"
34925I know you''re right, and yet-- how am I to get out of it with honour?"
34925I suppose you know you were followed to my house?"
34925I suppose you''ve some kind of amusement which you turn to in your hours for relaxation?
34925I think we should give ourselves to the serious side of life at least for a little while every week, do n''t you?
34925I thought it my duty to tell her what had been said----""How did she receive it?"
34925I trust you wo n''t think me rude to persist, but-- do you care for me, Lady Isabelle?"
34925I understand you to say that the lady''s name was Madame Darcy?
34925I was merely wondering if the country you represent brought forth any staple products, which would yield a profitable return to foreign investment?"
34925I''ll come to you to- morrow, may I?
34925I''m assigned on a diplomatic service, which, for the present, may take me out of England, so you''ll make my adieux to Lady Isabelle, will you not?"
34925I----?"
34925If I could prove to you that Darcy was unworthy-- would you give him up, for my sake?"
34925If I were your wife, would you permit me to keep up my intimacy with Colonel Darcy?"
34925Is he my husband?"
34925Is his Excellency disengaged?"
34925Is his government likely to repose confidence in him in the future, with you as his wife-- a woman who has practised treason?
34925Is it possible that such a person has any rights that need be respected?"
34925Is n''t it funny-- isn''t it cruelly, wickedly humorous?
34925Is n''t that a sufficient answer, and wo n''t it set your mind at rest?"
34925Is not that something?
34925Is not your coming into the country rather unexpected?"
34925Is she there now?"
34925Is that correct?"
34925Is there nothing I can do for you?"
34925Is there nothing more?"
34925Is this true?"
34925It''s absurd, is n''t it?"
34925It''s just this: Do you mean business with Little Diplomacy?"
34925Jack?
34925Kent- Lauriston shrugged his shoulders, remarking:--"I''d better return the letters to Madame Darcy at once then?"
34925Kent- Lauriston?"
34925Kent- Lauriston?"
34925Kent- Lauriston?"
34925Lady Isabelle shivered as she saw the approach of the dreaded request, and asked:"What is that?"
34925Lambert----?"
34925Lambert?"
34925Lambert?"
34925Let me see, what do you most like?
34925London?
34925May I venture to express the hope, that you''ll not commit yourself with that young Irish person?"
34925Miss Campbell said,"Really?"
34925Moreover, if Riddle had given him the money for the stamp, why had he not mentioned the fact at the time?
34925Must you start to- day?"
34925No?
34925No?
34925Now how do you wish me to aid in my wife''s divorce?"
34925Now tell me, have you discovered any of the conspirators yet?"
34925Now tell me, what did Mr. Stanley mean?"
34925Now what induced you to propose to her against your better judgment?
34925Now who could have effected this?
34925Now who made the charges?"
34925Now who was there?
34925Now, how are you going to begin?"
34925Now, what have you done?"
34925Oh, why wo n''t you let me tell Mr. Stanley the truth?"
34925Or is it salt?
34925Perhaps you will tell me if you have?"
34925Promise me that?"
34925Rather a contrast to our fascinating Belle, eh?"
34925Rather a sell on the little Fitzgerald, eh?"
34925Riddle?"
34925Roberts?"
34925Roberts?"
34925Roberts?"
34925See you at Lady Rainsford''s tea this afternoon?
34925Stanley?"
34925Stanley?"
34925Stanley?"
34925Stanley?"
34925Stanley?"
34925Stanley?"
34925Stanley?"
34925Stanley?"
34925Stanley?"
34925Stanley?"
34925Surely my daughter met a Madame Darcy the other night, somewhere?"
34925Surely, to keep up outside appearances, and I judge your husband would have desired that, you must have had an allowance?"
34925Thank you-- now what''s all this disturbance about Colonel Darcy?
34925That is, why did n''t he come to the Legation?"
34925That was over; Lady Isabelle and he understood each other now, and his path was clear for-- was it to be matrimony after all?
34925The Secretary looked despairingly at the despatch, and tossing it to John, said:"And what am I to answer to this?"
34925The lady to whom you''re engaged?"
34925The money will be in the Victoria Street Branch of the Bank of England till day after to- morrow?
34925Then turning to Stanley, continued,"I suppose you''ve not the misfortune to be married?"
34925Then, as some comprehension of the results which would follow this declaration dawned upon him, he continued:--"Why have you told me this?"
34925There, have I stated the case fairly?"
34925Therefore, will you tell_ me_ the truth?"
34925They said you were-- oh, ca n''t you see?"
34925This sum of forty thousand pounds?"
34925Trifle fond of fizz- water and cigarettes?"
34925Very kind of you to wait for me, I''m sure-- very-- we must lose no time in joining the ladies, must we, eh?"
34925Viscount Chilsworth asked me to meet him here to- day; but, as he''s half an hour late already----""You think your luncheon is rather problematical?"
34925Was he not rather, in his heart of hearts, wishing himself well out of the whole affair?
34925Was he shocked?
34925Was he supremely happy?
34925Was he to be badgered out of his dinner because a designing old woman could not leave well enough alone?
34925Was it possible that if she knew so much she did not know that she was condemning her own husband?
34925Well, what other unattainable luxuries did you bestow?"
34925What a shocking complication-- but if it was so bad for him, what must it be for her?
34925What am I to do?"
34925What are you going to talk about for the rest of your lives?
34925What are you so blue about?"
34925What can you be thinking of?"
34925What could be more convenient?"
34925What did I care about the success or failure of his plot?
34925What did Miss Fitzgerald say?"
34925What did you learn from the parson?"
34925What did you say?"
34925What did you wish to say about him?"
34925What do you find to talk about?"
34925What do you mean?"
34925What do you measure?"
34925What do you want me to write?"
34925What have you been doing with yourself?"
34925What hope did that hold out for a happy future?
34925What is it?"
34925What of it?"
34925What particular method did you adopt this time?"
34925What reasons were there for supposing her to be connected with the plot to defeat the treaty?
34925What time shall we start?"
34925What was his motive for doing so?"
34925What were you telling my daughter?"
34925What would his guests say when he confessed to them his awkward dilemma?
34925What would people say when they learned the truth?
34925What''s it like?"
34925What?
34925When can the ceremony take place?"
34925When do you wish to command his services?"
34925When?"
34925Where are you going to live?
34925Where do you bank?"
34925Where will you see Darcy?"
34925Where''s my letter?"
34925Which do you grow in your country?"
34925Who is his wife, then?"
34925Who is this person?"
34925Who will know of this charge against you?
34925Who?"
34925Whom did they concern?"
34925Whom have I to trust but you?"
34925Whose feelings would not have been outraged at discovering that they''d been so played upon?
34925Why did he do so, unless it was to attempt a recovery of the document?
34925Why does Colonel Darcy still remain here?"
34925Why had he departed from his invariable rule of asking two married ladies-- what if it did cramp him in the number of his guests?
34925Why not?"
34925Why should I wreck her life, if it could be avoided?"
34925Why should he doubt this gentleman''s word?
34925Why then should this one stone be loose, and why could he pull it no farther?
34925Why were all the men rising from their seats?
34925Why wo n''t you lend me your little affair?"
34925Why?
34925Will you do it?"
34925Will you honour me by accepting the vacant place at the head of my table, as my chaperon?"
34925Will you plead with her?"
34925Will you present my compliments to him, and ask him to be so kind as to come to my room for a few minutes?"
34925Will you see me to my carriage-- please?"
34925Will you trust yourself in my hands?"
34925Wo n''t that do as well?"
34925Wo n''t you trust me, and allow me to help you in any way in my power?"
34925Would his friend have any trouble in winning him to himself, as he expressed it?
34925Would it not be better to stand up and tell the truth of this miserable matter?
34925Would you like to hear the_ facts_ of the case?"
34925Would you object if I asked just one more question?
34925You are not convinced?
34925You do n''t mean to the fair Belle?"
34925You do not think of me, not one little bit-- eh?
34925You know Miss Campbell, who is pouring tea for me this afternoon?
34925You know this to be so?"
34925You remember the answer I gave to a question of yours last evening?"
34925You say I married you to Lieutenant Kingsland?"
34925You say she was a foreigner?"
34925You understand?"
34925You wish to have a little chat with me, eh?"
34925You''re sure that no one else saw the register?"
34925You''ve not forgotten the promise which you made me, when I helped you about arranging your wedding, to do anything I might request?"
34925You?
34925_ Was Miss Fitzgerald a party to the conspiracy to defeat the treaty?_ He put it to himself in so many words.
34925and I do wish you''d consent to be serious about it just for once, wo n''t you, to please me?"
34925but if Belle Fitzgerald was innocent-- was he not in honour bound to_ her_?
34925exclaimed her Ladyship, now thoroughly awake,"they''ve always been considered beautiful; but why should you ask?"
34925he asked softly,"that I could ever have forgotten my nurse?"
34925he queried, as he saw her eyes fill with tears, and noted that she was closely veiled"Can I serve you?"
34925said his friend ambiguously, and added,"How far have you put your foot in it?"
34925what''s this?"
