60581What if they have n''t any good place for her there, mamma?
60581What is your name?
60581What is your name?
60581Where is I?
60581Where is her home; can any one tell?
60581Where is her room? 60581 Whose little girl are you?"
60581Why, did you think I would n''t let you keep it?
60581Why_ did n''t_ they fetch you; what made them let you come alone?
60581Will you have pudding, dear? 60581 Will you kindly call a carriage, and put her in?"
60581Would it not have been better to take the girl to one of the hospitals?
60581You are Mrs. Osgood, are you not?
60581You think we ought to adopt her, and make her ours legally?
60581Your mother-- how will she receive me, Olive?
60581After a while my driver came up, touching his hat, respectfully, and asked,--"Would ye plaise to start soon, miss?"
60581Ah, who knows the mysteries of the border land between life and death?
60581All I''m thinking on is,--you''re young, miss,--would your folks like it, and would n''t you get tired on her?"
60581Am I to tell all the sad and bitter truth?
60581And as I lay there crying I heard gentle footsteps, and then felt soft lips on my cheek, and heard a voice,--"Oh, ca n''t I comfort you, Miss Bessie?
60581And what does a Saviour mean, if it ai n''t that He''ll save us from our sins if we ask Him?"
60581Ay, how could I?
60581But dared he withhold him, when the boy felt that honor and duty called?
60581But had she seen her own mamma?
60581But when and where should I find some one more desolate than myself to help?
60581Ca n''t I do any thing for you, now you''ve made my life all new and bright?"
60581Can you tell me any thing of her?"
60581Could it be possible, he wondered, that they had not taught her to hate him?
60581Could that woman claim her again?"
60581Did n''t you see me working it out in my head this afternoon, like a sum in arithmetic?
60581Did not the Bible say that God was no respecter of persons?
60581Did she have tastes, he wondered-- wants, longings?
60581Do n''t you hear?"
60581Do n''t you like the clouds?"
60581Do you know, small person, that I''ve often thought it might be better for that same little daughter if I said no to her oftener?
60581Do you not see that I can not have you expose yourself?"
60581Do you think they are all gentlemen up there?"
60581Dr. West told you so Wednesday, did he not?
60581Excitement was giving him unnatural strength, but for how long could he hold on?
60581Had her life been all a failure?
60581Had she any right to interfere between Kathie and this first work of charity the child had ever been inspired to undertake?
60581Had"Nanty"also forsaken little Rose?
60581He held her fast now, and he heard her voice close to his ear:--"Father, are we reconciled at last?"
60581He remembered her standing proudly before him, and asking,--"Father, do you know any thing against Harry Church?"
60581He, Job Golding, was rich,--had been rich all his lifetime,--but what special thing had riches done for him?
60581Honest, now, do n''t you think you could?
60581How can persons be good when they do n''t have what they want?"
60581How could I help loving her?
60581How is it ever done?
60581How much of the beauty was the girl''s very self, and how much did she owe to this splendid setting?
60581How was it done?
60581I do n''t want to ask him, for he does n''t understand silks and muslins, or what Alice needs; but would you answer for him?
60581I''ve got a bad name, and who wonders?
60581If he did right, who could make him afraid?
60581It is the country; is n''t it?"
60581It was at the child that my little crossing- sweeper was looking, with a gaze which seemed to me to say,--"So this, then, is childhood?
60581McGuire?"
60581Missy, should you like to live with me?"
60581Mother, how can I bear it?
60581Must he indeed begin so soon to look danger in the face, for the sake of others?
60581Not enjoyment enough in any one day to pay for living,--why not as well lie down and die at once?
60581Now do you think papa would be willing?
60581Oh how could I, when I loved her so?
60581One question kept asking itself over in her mind,--Why should some people have blue silk gowns, and others have no gowns at all?
60581Osgood?"
60581Papa bent down and kissed his girl, before he asked, half reproachfully,--"And how if I say''no''?
60581Run, iron- gray man, as you never ran before, or how shall you drive home to that boy''s waiting mother?
60581Sha n''t I be dear, then?"
60581Shall I never, never be strong, mamma?"
60581She had been with Lill almost a year; could she not be content to give me a single hour without her?
60581She had tried to do her duty: was it all nothing, because she had n''t loved?
60581She was going home to God, this little Lily of heaven; and would she tell Him that I had hated, all through, the baby sister He had given me?
60581She went on with renewed bitterness, asking herself, over and over again, Why?
60581Should I ever see my mother again?
60581Should he venture to interfere with its observance?
60581Soon Mrs. Brierly asked,--"Do you remember your father and mother, Ruthy?
60581Ten years ago he had sent her last letter back unopened; but this one,--what influence apart from himself moved him to read it?
60581The lady saw the direction of her eyes, and said, gently,--"I think you must like pictures very much, Ruthy?"
60581There were other pleasant girls in town, but I took none of them into Nelly''s vacant place: how could I?
60581Was Nelly dead or alive?
60581Was that old Job Golding?
60581Was there any God at all?
60581What a very cold loving- one- another we were most of us doing in this world, after all?
60581What do you call her?"
60581What else?
60581What had changed, while the old house among the trees had stood so still?
60581What had nobody''s child to do with such names?
60581What if he should turn all the strength that was in him to going up and not down?
60581What if it was done just to give us a chance to help each other?
60581What if she died, or what if she never had her reason again?
60581What if we could see him again?"
60581What kept you?"
60581What was he, this puny wretch, without pluck enough to stand on his own legs, that he should wear the garments of a young prince?
60581What was the use of it all?
60581When Cain had murdered his brother he had to go forth alone,--what was left for me, another Cain, but to go also alone into the world?
60581Where is she?"
60581Who can ever tell in such a crisis?
60581Who in that house would ever bear to look at me?
60581Who knew what she might not find there,--love, may be, and friends, and home,--perhaps, even, the father and mother who, as old Sally said, were dead?
60581Who knew?
60581Why had he never known what he lost, in losing the sweetness of her love, through all these vanished years?
60581Why has he never looked for his sister nor her child?"
60581Why should Ralph Rosenburgh have every thing he wanted, and they nothing?
60581Why?
60581Why?
60581Will you believe that even then the old, bitter jealousy began to gnaw again at my heart?
60581Will you, grandpapa?"
60581Would it be against any law if I took her home with me, without letting any one know where she was gone, and took care of her?
60581Would you go, if your mother went?"
60581Would you?
60581You loved mamma, did n''t you?
60581_ Will_ she go home to God, and tell Him I have hated her?"
60581does n''t want to see her baby sister, do n''t she?
60581is it you, my little gentleman?"
60581or, if there was, did He not make some people and forget them altogether, while He was heaping good things on others whom He liked better?
60581she said,"and what for you make morning so soon?"
