| 44462 | However, off comes the side of our drum, and what is to be done next? |
| 44462 | What happens? |
| 45955 | But did you ever light a match, put it into a small bottle, and put the cork in? |
| 45955 | But how can these signals be received by the man for whom they are intended, who may be a hundred miles or more away? |
| 45955 | Now, suppose we were to fix_ two_ discharge- pipes to the tank, the water would run away very much quicker, would it not? |
| 45955 | That would dispose of the water very quickly and by a short way, would it not? |
| 45955 | Well, you will ask, if we can not use batteries, what is used to produce these electric lights? |
| 45515 | But, if the electrical fluid so easily pervades glass, how does the vial become_ charged_( as we term it) when we hold it in our hands? |
| 45515 | For if it was fine enough to come with the electrical fluid through the body of one person, why should it stop on the skin of another? |
| 45515 | Would not the bottle in that case be left just as we found it, uncharged, as we know a metal bottle so attempted to be charged would be? |
| 45515 | Would not the fire thrown in by the wire pass through to our hands, and so escape into the floor? |
| 29789 | Is that a neatle? |
| 29789 | What are you doing in here? 29789 What makes shorts, Sven?" |
| 29789 | What makes shorts? |
| 29789 | And how are you this morning? |
| 29789 | Dostes? |
| 29789 | Is they electrics, Sven?" |
| 29789 | Was Poppa trying to make the shorts he needed? |
| 29789 | Why did you put the ice pick through the stove cable? |
| 29789 | You know it''s a Federal Offense for anybody to come into this room without I say so?" |
| 34221 | Why are our emotions called into action by modern music and modern art? 34221 Why are we tormented with this thought- stimulating age?" |
| 34221 | A note from her inclosed this dispatch:''What hath God wrought?'' |
| 34221 | I had no money; and there was no one that believed I could do it, and if I could"what good would come of it?" |
| 34221 | Morse has had no more credit than was due him, but has Henry had as much as is due him? |
| 34221 | The puzzle to most people is: How can the signals pass each other in different directions on the same wire? |
| 34221 | The question may be asked, why is there any regulation needed, if there is always an even head of water? |
| 34221 | Then you ask, how do they differ? |
| 34221 | Why are we called upon to help the downtrodden and oppressed, and to help to elevate mankind to a higher level? |
| 34221 | Why can not we be left alone in peace and quiet, to live in the easiest way?" |
| 34221 | Why not? |
| 34221 | Why this current? |
| 34221 | Why? |
| 34221 | You ask what is the difference? |
| 36456 | But how is man to recognise these? |
| 36456 | But what is this_ æther_ of which one hears so much in these days? |
| 36456 | But what special information do these waves, coming from the stars, convey to man? |
| 36456 | But why should the light be in the form of a line? |
| 36456 | Had we not been doing this very thing from the foundation of the world? |
| 36456 | How could man march if he had no road to march on? |
| 36456 | How, then, did we enable man to read our messages? |
| 36456 | If all these electrons were deprived of their energy, the atoms of matter would cease to exist, and man, where would he be? |
| 36456 | If man could cross- examine me or any of my fellows, I expect the first question would be-- What are you electrons made of? |
| 36456 | Is it an imaginary thing, or is it a reality? |
| 36456 | What could this mean? |
| 36456 | What else could they expect? |
| 36456 | What is an electron? |
| 36456 | What will happen? |
| 36456 | When will man succeed in discovering this secret of ours? |
| 36456 | Where would man be if we failed to perform our mission? |
| 36456 | Where would man be without us? |
| 45446 | Do? |
| 45446 | How long will it take? |
| 45446 | The fact is singular,he says,"and you require the reason? |
| 45446 | But since they agree in all the particulars wherein we can already compare them, is it not probable that they agree likewise in this? |
| 45446 | But since they agree in all the particulars wherein we can already compare them, is it not probable that they agree likewise in this? |
| 45446 | Continuing, he fleeces Paine in the following noble words:"But were you to succeed, do you imagine any good would be done by it? |
| 45446 | How can he, when he sees this, be otherwise animated than by the deepest feeling of humility, of devotion and of love? |
| 45446 | If men are so wicked_ with_ religion, what would they be_ without_ it?" |
| 45446 | If the earth has a magnetic field, he argued, why not the moon, the planets and the sun itself,"the mover and inciter of the universe"? |
| 45446 | It was as a very young man that he wrote:"What is''t that comes in false, deceitful guise, Making dull fools of those that''fore were wise? |
| 45446 | Must I then defend Galvani in the eyes of posterity for one of the most beautiful sentiments that can spring from the nature of man? |
| 45446 | Was not Laplace animated by a kindred feeling when he spoke about the infinitude of our ignorance? |
| 45446 | What are you thinking of, my little friend? |
| 45446 | What can I do?" |
| 14986 | (?) |
| 14986 | ), which, acting at a distance and not by the intermediate particles, has, like the force of gravity, no relation to them? |
| 14986 | ); for how, otherwise, could the results formerly described occur? |
| 14986 | ---- one element to either? |
| 14986 | ----, dark? |
| 14986 | --------, are they essentially different? |
| 14986 | 16 Selenium(?) |
| 14986 | Does not the middle part of the wire, therefore, act here as an insulating medium, though it be of metal? |
| 14986 | Gold(?) |
| 14986 | May not this be an effect identical with the attractions of similar currents? |
| 14986 | The question then arises, what is this limiting condition which separates, as it were, conduction and insulation from each other? |
| 14986 | What, then, follows as a necessary consequence of the whole experiment? |
| 14986 | Will the relation of C and B to A be unaltered, notwithstanding the difference of the dielectrics interposed between them? |
| 14986 | _ Mercury_, periodide of, an exception to the law of conduction? |
| 14986 | account for the transverse effects of electrical currents? |
| 14986 | and is not the spark through the air an indication of the tension( simultaneous with_ induction_) of the electricity in the ends of this single wire? |
| 14986 | whether the intensity at which the current ceased to act would be the same for all bodies? |
| 48136 | But what are we to think of a governor who could play so scurvy a trick, and thus grossly deceive a poor young lad, wholly destitute of experience? |
| 48136 | But who would have supposed, said he, Franklin to be capable of such a composition? |
| 48136 | But, if the electrical fluid so easily pervades glass, how does the phial become_ charged_( as we term it) when we hold it in our hands? |
| 48136 | Can this be ascribed to the attraction of any surrounding body or matter drawing them asunder, or drawing the one away from the other? |
| 48136 | For if it was fine enough to come with the electric fluid through the body of one person, why should it stop on the skin of another? |
| 48136 | I have asked her, said my landlady, how, living as she did, she could find so much employment for a confessor? |
| 48136 | If it be asked, what thickness of a metalline rod may be supposed sufficient? |
| 48136 | If not, and repulsion exists in nature, and in magnetism, why may it not exist in electricity? |
| 48136 | May it not constitute a part, and even a principal part, of the solid substance of bodies? |
| 48136 | May not different degrees of the vibration of the above- mentioned universal medium, occasion the appearances of different colours? |
| 48136 | Must not the smallest particle conceivable have, with such a motion, a force exceeding that of a twenty- four pounder, discharged from a cannon? |
| 48136 | Nay, suppose I have drawn the electric matter from both of them, what becomes of it? |
| 48136 | Now want of sense, when a man has the misfortune to be so circumstanced, is it not a kind of excuse for want of modesty? |
| 48136 | The Abbé owns,_ p._ 94, that he had heard this remarked, but says, Why is not a conductor of electricity an electric subject? |
| 48136 | To which the Abbé thus objects;"Tell me( says he), I pray you, how much time is necessary for this pretended discharge? |
| 48136 | Were they all equally dry? |
| 48136 | Whether in a river, lake, or sea, the electric fire will not dissipate and not return to the bottle? |
| 48136 | Why will he have the phial, into which the, water is to be decanted from a charged phial, held in a man''s hand? |
| 48136 | Will not cork balls, electrised negatively, separate as far as when electrised positively? |
| 48136 | Would not the bottle in that case be left just as we found it, uncharged, as we know a metal bottle so attempted to be charged would be? |
| 48136 | Would not the fire, thrown in by the wire, pass through to our hands, and so escape into the floor? |
| 48136 | Would not this experiment convince the Abbé Nollet of his egregious mistake? |
| 48136 | _ Query_, What are the effects of air in electrical experiments? |
| 48136 | or, will it proceed in strait lines through the water the shortest courses possible back to the bottle? |
| 45331 | And where does the electricity come from? |
| 45331 | Aw, why do you want to do all that,said Erg,"when nature is doing it for us?" |
| 45331 | But how shall we produce the current which we wish to send around the spools of the field? |
| 45331 | But what makes it go? |
| 45331 | But where does it get its electricity? |
| 45331 | How are we going to furnish electricity to the cottage when the dynamo is not running? 45331 Just before we go into this central station, can you tell me how the elevator is run in our apartment house?" |
| 45331 | Now how fast do you think the emery wheel is going? |
| 45331 | Now if this is like the magneto, where is the armature? 45331 Now, why do n''t I feel the electricity when I touch the binding posts of this dry cell?" |
| 45331 | Well, I know that it comes from the street mains, but do they come from this power station? |
| 45331 | Well, who''s going to sit by,said Erg,"to close the primary circuit when the rat happens to get himself into the secondary circuit?" |
| 45331 | Well,said I,"where is the field?" |

| 45331 | But what prevents the needle from going farther, and what brings it back to zero each time?" |
| 45331 | But why does it look like a dynamo? |
| 45331 | But why go to all this expense to produce such a dangerous and troublesome voltage? |
| 45331 | Can one grow great without having a chance to feel occasionally that the world depends upon what he does? |
| 45331 | Can you guess from the way we have just used the word''shunt''what the expression could mean with reference to a dynamo?" |
| 45331 | Could you kindly send me a photograph of him which will assist me somewhat? |
| 45331 | Have you noticed any armature?" |
| 45331 | How are connections made so that an electric current may pass from the fixed binding posts to the wire of the moving coil? |
| 45331 | How did this idea arise? |
| 45331 | How then can this be correct as a measuring instrument?" |
| 45331 | If it were used as a dynamo, where would it get the electric current to magnetize its field? |
| 45331 | Is it a product of wild imagination? |
| 45331 | Is it adapted for direct current? |
| 45331 | Is it shunt- or series- wound? |
| 45331 | Is there any smell of cooking here? |
| 45331 | Now is there any device for giving high speed to the armature?" |
| 45331 | Of what use would a direct current be to them?" |
| 45331 | That the short strings vibrate more rapidly than the long ones, and at the same time produce tones of a higher pitch? |
| 45331 | The sun appears to repel the tail of the comet, yet how can there be a push without intervening material with which to push? |
| 45331 | Under either of these circumstances, how can the armature move with reference to the field? |

| 45331 | What has increased the voltage of a cell from 1.42 to 1.50? |
| 45331 | What is the matter with my saving time and energy by sawing off the block with my own right arm?" |
| 45331 | When we speak of light pouring or streaming in, do we think of it as a substance? |
| 45331 | When we speak of warm bodies losing heat, or when we cover them to keep the heat in, are we thinking of heat as a substance? |
| 45331 | When will a fellow get a chance to sleep or go a- fishing or have any vacation, with this central- station machine shop on his hands all the time?" |
| 45331 | Why did not the man who built our mill two generations ago locate it upon the small stream that flowed near his house? |
| 45331 | Will this cooker heat the house in summer? |
| 45331 | X HOW ELECTRICITY FEELS What is more fickle and yet more fascinating than a motor boat? |
| 45331 | or did the idea develop out of experiences which, if given to any person of fair intelligence, would yield the same result? |

| 436 | Anarchists? |
| 436 | And are these, also, electrical in their construction? |
| 436 | And how about the next three gifts? |
| 436 | Are these patented? |
| 436 | Are you ill, Robert? |
| 436 | Are you sure this will work? |
| 436 | But electricity is a good thing, you know, and-- and--"Well? |
| 436 | But how''d ye make out to climb the bluff? |
| 436 | But suppose,said Rob,"that something important should happen while I''m asleep, or not looking at the box?" |
| 436 | But what of him? |
| 436 | But why do you call them foolish experiences? |
| 436 | But, tell me, can you trust your chief of police? |
| 436 | Could n''t the tablets be chemically analyzed, and the secret discovered? |

| 436 | How many dollars is that? |
| 436 | How much are you worth? |
| 436 | How much do you charge a day? |
| 436 | I know that,answered the boy, trembling,"but WHY are you here?" |
| 436 | In time for what? |
| 436 | Is this President Loubet? |
| 436 | It was very kind of you,said Edward;"but how did you gain admittance?" |
| 436 | It''s a fine idea,said the boy;"who discovered it?" |
| 436 | Kill me dog, will ye-- eh? |
| 436 | Look here, old fellow; do you want to die? |
| 436 | Personally? |
| 436 | Poison? 436 Then who are you?" |
| 436 | This is your invention? |
| 436 | Well, s''pose we should? |
| 436 | Were you there? |
| 436 | Wh-- wh-- what are you g-- g-- going to do? |
| 436 | Whar''n thunder''d ye come from? |
| 436 | What are those? |
| 436 | What are you trying to do, anyhow? |
| 436 | What are your rates by the day? |
| 436 | What desire have you? |
| 436 | What did you say? |
| 436 | What did you see? |
| 436 | What do you call that? |
| 436 | What is it? |
| 436 | What is? |
| 436 | What matters a name? 436 What name, please?" |
| 436 | What people? |
| 436 | What right has one person to fly through the air while all his fellow- creatures crawl over the earth''s surface? 436 What right have you to capture vibrations that radiate from private and secret actions and discover them to others who have no business to know them? |
| 436 | What shall we do? |
| 436 | What will you give me first? |
| 436 | What you make do? |
| 436 | What''s that? |
| 436 | Where are we? |
| 436 | Where can I purchase one? |
| 436 | Where have you been all day, Robert? |
| 436 | Where is his residence? |
| 436 | Where is she, Nell? |
| 436 | Where to? |
| 436 | Where''s President Loubet? |
| 436 | Where''s your balloon? |
| 436 | Will you remain here while I send for my minister of police? 436 Yes; they''ve worked up a rather pretty plot, have n''t they?" |
| 436 | You are satisfied, then? |
| 436 | After attentively regarding the boy for a time he said, in broken English:"But, M''sieur, how can you fly wizout ze-- ze machine? |
| 436 | And how do you treat these marvelous gifts? |
| 436 | And who knows what benefits to humanity may result? |
| 436 | And why should I be cut off from all the rest of the world because you have given me this confounded traveling machine? |
| 436 | But how am I to get away from this beastly island? |
| 436 | But what do you say to the proposition?" |
| 436 | Do you understand?" |
| 436 | Finally he leaned back in his chair and asked:"Can you reproduce this scene again?" |
| 436 | Finally one fat and somewhat aged native, who seemed to be a chief, came close to Rob and said, in broken English:"How get here?" |
| 436 | Have you ze luggage?" |
| 436 | How white man come?" |
| 436 | Is that a center of advanced scientific thought? |
| 436 | Nice thing for a decent person to own, is n''t it? |
| 436 | Rob approached him and asked:"Where''s the king to- day?" |
| 436 | So where''s the harm? |
| 436 | Tell me, what holds you to the Earth, and makes a stone fall to the ground?" |
| 436 | That seems reasonable, does n''t it?" |
| 436 | The Unhappy Fate of the Demon Who Knows? |
| 436 | Their faces fell at this, but one of them said:"Why could n''t we swing ourselves over your shoulders with a rope? |
| 436 | These things are quite improbable, to be sure; but are they impossible? |
| 436 | This would be a fine world if every body could peep into every one else''s affairs, would n''t it? |
| 436 | We have all been dreadfully worried about you, and mother--""Well, what about mother?" |
| 436 | Which will it be-- sharks or silence?" |
| 436 | Who knows? |
| 436 | Why did you not take your marvels to New York or Chicago; or, if you wished to cross the ocean, to Paris or Vienna?" |
| 436 | Why did you waste them upon barbarians?" |
| 436 | Why does n''t the Demon get up a conversation machine that will speak all languages?" |
| 436 | Why should n''t he spend his summer vacation in pursuit of useful knowledge instead of romping around like ordinary boys?" |
| 436 | Will you please wear these spectacles for a few moments?" |
| 436 | You''re the Demon of Electricity, are n''t you?" |
| 436 | exclaimed the Demon, with a faint sneer;"what does he know?" |
| 436 | they cried;"are you, too, shipwrecked?" |
| 45347 | A week? |
| 45347 | Anarchists? |
| 45347 | And are these, also, electrical in their construction? |
| 45347 | And how about the next three gifts? |
| 45347 | Are these patented? |
| 45347 | Are you ill, Robert? |
| 45347 | Are you sure this will work? |
| 45347 | But electricity is a good thing, you know, and-- and--"Well? |
| 45347 | But how''d ye make out to climb the bluff? |
| 45347 | But suppose,said Rob,"that something important should happen while I''m asleep, or not looking at the box?" |
| 45347 | But what of him? |
| 45347 | But why do you call them foolish experiences? |
| 45347 | But, tell me, can you trust your chief of police? |
| 45347 | Could n''t the tablets be chemically analyzed, and the secret discovered? |
| 45347 | Do you live at Port Orford? |
| 45347 | Dollar Americaine? |
| 45347 | Fine view from here, ai n''t it? |
| 45347 | Have you a rope? |
| 45347 | How are you going? |
| 45347 | How came you here? |
| 45347 | How many dollars is that? |
| 45347 | How much are you worth? |
| 45347 | How much do you charge a day? |
| 45347 | I know that,answered the boy, trembling,"but_ why_ are you here?" |
| 45347 | In time for what? |
| 45347 | Is this President Loubet? |
| 45347 | It was very kind of you,said Edward;"but how did you gain admittance?" |
| 45347 | It''s a fine idea,said the boy;"who discovered it?" |
| 45347 | Kill me dog, will ye-- eh? |
| 45347 | Personally? |
| 45347 | Poison? 45347 Then who are you?" |
| 45347 | This is your invention? |
| 45347 | Well, s''pose we should? |
| 45347 | Were you there? |
| 45347 | Wh-- wh-- what are you g-- g-- going to do? |
| 45347 | Whar''n thunder''d ye come from? |
| 45347 | What are those? |
| 45347 | What are you trying to do, anyhow? |
| 45347 | What are your rates by the day? |
| 45347 | What desire have you? |
| 45347 | What did you say? |
| 45347 | What did you see? |
| 45347 | What do you call that? |
| 45347 | What is it? |
| 45347 | What is? |
| 45347 | What matters a name? 45347 What name, please?" |
| 45347 | What people? |
| 45347 | What right has one person to fly through the air while all his fellow- creatures crawl over the earth''s surface? 45347 What right have you to capture vibrations that radiate from private and secret actions and discover them to others who have no business to know them? |
| 45347 | What shall we do? |
| 45347 | What will you give me first? |
| 45347 | What you make do? |
| 45347 | What''s that? |
| 45347 | Where are we? |
| 45347 | Where can I purchase one? |
| 45347 | Where have you been all day, Robert? |
| 45347 | Where is his residence? |
| 45347 | Where is she, Nell? |
| 45347 | Where to? |
| 45347 | Where''s President Loubet? |
| 45347 | Where''s your balloon? |
| 45347 | Will you remain here while I send for my minister of police? 45347 Yes; they''ve worked up a rather pretty plot, have n''t they?" |
| 45347 | You are satisfied, then? |
| 45347 | After attentively regarding the boy for a time he said, in broken English:"But, M''sieur, how can you fly wizout ze-- ze machine? |
| 45347 | And how do you treat these marvelous gifts? |
| 45347 | And who knows what benefits to humanity may result? |
| 45347 | And why should I be cut off from all the rest of the world because you have given me this confounded traveling machine? |
| 45347 | But how am I to get away from this beastly island? |
| 45347 | But what do you say to the proposition?" |
| 45347 | Do you understand?" |
| 45347 | Finally he leaned back in his chair and asked:"Can you reproduce this scene again?" |
| 45347 | Finally one fat and somewhat aged native, who seemed to be a chief, came close to Rob and said, in broken English:"How get here?" |
| 45347 | Have you ze luggage?" |
| 45347 | How white man come?" |
| 45347 | Is that a center of advanced scientific thought? |
| 45347 | Nice thing for a decent person to own, is n''t it? |
| 45347 | Rob approached him and asked:"Where''s the king to- day?" |
| 45347 | So he said rather anxiously to the chief:"Look here, old fellow; do you want to die?" |
| 45347 | So where''s the harm? |
| 45347 | Tell me, what holds you to the Earth, and makes a stone fall to the ground?" |
| 45347 | That seems reasonable, does n''t it?" |
| 45347 | Their faces fell at this, but one of them said:"Why could n''t we swing ourselves over your shoulders with a rope? |
| 45347 | These things are quite improbable, to be sure; but are they impossible? |
| 45347 | This would be a fine world if every body could peep into every one else''s affairs, would n''t it? |
| 45347 | We have all been dreadfully worried about you, and mother--""Well, what about mother?" |
| 45347 | When he recovered himself the Demon had disappeared--_Tailpiece_ 245[ Illustration] WHO KNOWS? |
| 45347 | Which will it be-- sharks or silence?" |
| 45347 | Who knows? |

| 38028 | After all, are not all my secrets here? 38028 Ah, what is that?" |
| 38028 | Ah, yes; his daughter-- she is the second Marie Antoinette, is n''t she? |
| 38028 | Ah,said Adelaide, with a little catch in her voice,"from him; and has he----""Succeeded? |
| 38028 | America-- wonderful? 38028 And Russia?" |
| 38028 | And are you still decided to fight, gentlemen? |
| 38028 | And if you had it, what would you do with it? |
| 38028 | And may we too? |
| 38028 | And now, captain, do n''t you think that a wee peg would do you good? 38028 And now, suppose we go and join these good people on the lawn?" |
| 38028 | And what is it to be? |
| 38028 | And what is that? 38028 And what might that be, Lady Olive?" |
| 38028 | And what might that be, Miss Fire- eater? |
| 38028 | And what might that mean in your dictionary of kisses? |
| 38028 | And what would have been the effect of that? |
| 38028 | And what''s that, poppa? |
| 38028 | And why not? |
| 38028 | But how can that be? |
| 38028 | But how? |
| 38028 | But look here,said Austin;"could n''t you paralyse''em? |
| 38028 | But why not war now? |
| 38028 | But, great sakes, Chrysie, you do n''t mean the marquise is going to poison us? |
| 38028 | But, my dear Shafto,said the earl,"that would be a most flagrant act of piracy on the high seas, would n''t it?" |
| 38028 | Can you tell me, Captain, whether the gentleman who calls himself the French Ambassador has honoured us with his presence to- night? |
| 38028 | Discovered what? 38028 Do n''t you think you ought to be in bed, Chrysie, instead of sitting there smoking a cigarette, and-- Why, what''s the matter with you, girl?" |
| 38028 | Do n''t you think you''d better turn in for a bit? 38028 Do n''t you wish you had that revolver of hers?" |
| 38028 | Do you really mean to say that that is actually feasible? 38028 Have I no eyes in my head? |
| 38028 | Have I not given up everything, even, as some would say, sacrificed honour itself, to help you to win back that which is your own by every right? 38028 He has found me out, and I have lost him; and when you have lost a man, why should he go on living? |
| 38028 | Hello, what''s that? 38028 I wonder who has succeeded beyond his best expectations? |
| 38028 | Is that really so, Lamson? 38028 Is there any other way that a sixteen- knotter could overtake a twenty- knotter? |
| 38028 | Lady Olive, you will send the signal to the other rooms? 38028 May I come up on to the sacred territory?" |
| 38028 | My dear Chrysie, what are you talking about? 38028 My dear Chrysie,"said Lady Olive,"what are you carrying that terrible- looking weapon for? |
| 38028 | My dear Victor,she replied, with a bewildering smile,"have I not already told you that you may hope for everything? |
| 38028 | My dear marquise,said Sophie,"do you not think that you are letting your feelings run away with you? |
| 38028 | News? 38028 Oh, captain,"he said,"that you? |
| 38028 | Quartermaster, who is on duty in the engine- room? |
| 38028 | Say, poppa,she went on, leaning over the front of the bridge,"I reckon that shot broke the law of nations, did n''t it? |
| 38028 | Shall I write it,she murmured, in a soft, low tone,"or shall I keep it hidden where no human eyes can read it? |
| 38028 | Since our fathers are such old and good friends, why should we not be new friends and good ones too? |
| 38028 | The Pole? |
| 38028 | Then you think we''ll have to fight for it? |
| 38028 | There is, I believe,said Sophie, putting her arms on the table,"a little apartment leading out of your own bureau at the Ministry of War?" |
| 38028 | Was n''t it your Lord Beaconsfield who said that the most dreary duty of humanity was explanation? 38028 Was not the same song sung in honour of the Grand Monarque by the ladies of Versailles? |
| 38028 | Well, Shafto,said Lady Olive, as the two men took their caps off,"and what is all this mystery about? |
| 38028 | Well, if it''s as bad as that,said her father,"why not warn the viscount?" |
| 38028 | Well, papa,said Sophie,"have you any news? |
| 38028 | What about that reserve-- that territory, you know, that I was supposed to have an option on in Buffalo? |
| 38028 | What can it mean, papa? |
| 38028 | What do you say, Victor? 38028 What friend?" |
| 38028 | What is that you say?--disabled? 38028 What on earth do you mean, Chrysie?" |
| 38028 | What thing? |
| 38028 | What''s the matter, M''Niven? |
| 38028 | What''s the matter? 38028 What''s the use of world masters and world mistresses trying to hide things from each other? |
| 38028 | What,exclaimed Adelaide, taken off her guard for a moment,"do you mean that, Sophie? |
| 38028 | Who knows? |
| 38028 | Why do you want to get ill over a thing like that, man? 38028 Why should the Evening envy the Morning, or the Lily be jealous of the Rose?" |
| 38028 | Why, my dear chap, what''s up? 38028 Why, what do you mean, my dear Vandel?" |
| 38028 | Will you make it five miles, captain? |
| 38028 | Wonderful, my dear Victor? 38028 Yes, I have,"he replied;"and the greatest of good news; you know from whom?" |
| 38028 | A sudden blast of wind struck their faces, hands instinctively went up to heads, and Lady Olive exclaimed:"What is that, Shafto? |
| 38028 | Ah, well, I wonder what will happen in Paris? |
| 38028 | Ah, well, it is fate, and who shall question that? |
| 38028 | Ah, who is this?" |
| 38028 | And Paris-- why should his success take him to Paris? |
| 38028 | And might I ask why? |
| 38028 | And now, I suppose, you''ve got some coffee ready for us down in the saloon?" |
| 38028 | And now, may I ask your lordship one question?" |
| 38028 | And that?" |
| 38028 | And the prince?" |
| 38028 | And then, with a sudden drop in the tone,"You''re not ill, old man, are you?" |
| 38028 | And who could blame him, after all? |
| 38028 | And yet, are not all things possible? |
| 38028 | Any news?" |
| 38028 | Any-- do you wish to speak to me? |
| 38028 | Anyhow, it was addressed to Count Valdemar,_ Yacht Vlodoya_, Cherbourg; and Cherbourg''s not on the way to the Baltic, is it? |
| 38028 | Are you badly hurt?" |
| 38028 | Are you going to be all the morning getting through that tin box? |
| 38028 | Are you quite serious?" |
| 38028 | Are you quite sure of him?" |
| 38028 | Are you still of opinion that the scheme that I sketched out is feasible?" |
| 38028 | But what can I do till we have either succeeded or failed? |
| 38028 | But what was this? |
| 38028 | But who can ever read this?" |
| 38028 | But you will keep me a waltz or two, wo n''t you? |
| 38028 | CHAPTER II"And so, Monsieur le Ministre, I am to take that as your final word? |
| 38028 | CHAPTER XVII"And so, Ma''m''selle la Comtesse, it comes to this: you would have me reward hospitality with treachery? |
| 38028 | Ca n''t you see what she''s doing every hour and day of her life? |
| 38028 | Can you not leave us in peace?" |
| 38028 | Chrysie looked up and said, with a snap of her eyes:"What other friend than M''am''selle Felice''s mistress-- the noble Adelaide de Condé?" |
| 38028 | Did any human law compel him to share it with anyone? |
| 38028 | Do n''t you see that Frenchwoman''s bewitched him? |
| 38028 | Do n''t you see there are millions in it if it''s true, and of course you''ll come in on the ground- floor? |
| 38028 | Do n''t you see, we''re going to have that punch just a few hours before we get the engines right and that other boat is to catch us?" |
| 38028 | Do n''t you think, Mr Vandel, that we might slow round and give them one from that gun of yours?" |
| 38028 | Do you know why your lamented father the prince was such a welcome guest at the court of Petersburg?" |
| 38028 | Do you not think so, papa?" |
| 38028 | Do you see what I mean now?" |
| 38028 | Does n''t it strike you as just a bit curious that they should be going north up Davis Straits just when our Storage Works are getting finished? |
| 38028 | Does n''t look very dangerous, does it? |
| 38028 | Does that mean what you call full speed?" |
| 38028 | England and America can be rendered helpless if we once seize the works, and Russia can, I presume, be trusted?" |
| 38028 | Everything would come out; the whole conspiracy, and her own share in it; and then, what would he think of her? |
| 38028 | For instance, if the tables had been turned, should we have treated them as they have treated us? |
| 38028 | Go him a few pounds of Vandelite better?" |
| 38028 | Had Felice told about the telegram, under the temptation of such a bribe as these millionaires could offer? |
| 38028 | Had Sophie''s scheme been betrayed? |
| 38028 | Had Williams wavered at the last, and confessed? |
| 38028 | Have you been able to persuade them to surrender to the expedition?" |
| 38028 | He began it, did n''t he? |
| 38028 | He had pledged his honour, and could tell no one-- but even if he could, what then? |
| 38028 | Hello, what''s this? |
| 38028 | How can I help you, when these people already have the secret in their hands, and have been spending their millions for weeks? |
| 38028 | How could any man with eyes in his head and blood in his heart resist her? |
| 38028 | How could you do it without betraying yourself? |
| 38028 | How do we know what means of defence they''ve got? |
| 38028 | How is the telegram signed?" |
| 38028 | How many millions could buy that? |
| 38028 | How soon can you get us across the Atlantic, Hardress?" |
| 38028 | How will that do?" |
| 38028 | How would it be if you raised his bluff? |
| 38028 | How would you like to be master of the world?" |
| 38028 | I guess I could promise you both a pretty interesting time from Niagara right away to----""Suppose we say the Magnetic Pole?" |
| 38028 | I reckon that would be quite an interesting little surprise- party, would n''t it?" |
| 38028 | I suppose you have quite decided to take the trip across the Atlantic on the_ Nadine_?" |
| 38028 | I suppose you take a great interest in weapons of warfare?" |
| 38028 | I wish you''d tell Evans to bring me a brandy- and- soda, will you?" |
| 38028 | I wonder what the fair Sophie would give to know what you and I know, Adelaide?" |
| 38028 | I wonder what they''ll feel like when we turn the disintegrators on them?" |
| 38028 | If I can not sit on the throne of the Bourbons, why should I not be empress- consort on the throne of a world- wide empire?--why not? |
| 38028 | If it is, you see this?" |
| 38028 | Is it anything to do with that infernal tin box?" |
| 38028 | Is it not the unexpected that comes to pass? |
| 38028 | Is n''t that so, poppa?" |
| 38028 | Is that good American, Chrysie?" |
| 38028 | Is that your idea?" |
| 38028 | It has n''t suddenly come on to blow, has it?" |
| 38028 | It is the same!--what miracle has happened? |
| 38028 | It seems ridiculous, does n''t it? |
| 38028 | It was a terrible end for two such beautiful women, was it not, admiral? |
| 38028 | May I ask for an outline of it? |
| 38028 | Mr Jackson, will you kindly lower away the quarter- boat?" |
| 38028 | No, there may be time even yet; I have risked much, and I will risk more; and you, Adelaide, will you help me? |
| 38028 | Now, do you think I was right in doing a very improper thing-- which, of course, it was?" |
| 38028 | Now, how''s a sixteen- knot boat going to catch a twenty- knot yacht anywhere between Southampton and Halifax?" |
| 38028 | Now, what does haste mean? |
| 38028 | Now, where''s the spark that''s going to connect them?" |
| 38028 | Of this nation of snobs and shopkeepers, ruled by a combination of stockbrokers, heavy- witted bourgeoisie and political adventurers? |
| 38028 | Olive, you will make the coffee later on, wo n''t you, in that patent concern of yours? |
| 38028 | Poor chap, what can have made such a mess of him as that?" |
| 38028 | Poppa, why do n''t you let''em have just one little hint that we''re not quite harmless?" |
| 38028 | Seems to me the question is now, what we''re going to do if she does?" |
| 38028 | Shall we ever have another like it? |
| 38028 | She had disgraced herself in the eyes of the man she would have sold her soul to get, and now-- well, what did it matter? |
| 38028 | She rose slowly from her chair, and said, almost falteringly:"What do you mean, Victor? |
| 38028 | Should he fling the priceless papers, the warrant for the mastery of the world, into the sea and be done with it? |
| 38028 | Should he keep them in his pocket and make untold millions out of the power that they placed in his hands? |
| 38028 | Simple, is n''t it? |
| 38028 | Suppose,"he went on, with something like a shudder,"a shell bursts in the absorber, where are we? |
| 38028 | Surely it is not always usual to ask the enemy within the gates?" |
| 38028 | Surely, Adelaide, for the sake of all that is past and all that may be to come you will not say no?" |
| 38028 | That will be somewhat of an experience for you, marquise, will it not?" |
| 38028 | That''s a pretty- looking weapon, is n''t it?" |
| 38028 | That''s so; is n''t it, Olive? |
| 38028 | The corpse?" |
| 38028 | The last word is''Dépêchez,''and that''s French for''Make haste,''is n''t it? |
| 38028 | Then she took up her pen again, and wrote:"I wonder if there is another woman?" |
| 38028 | There is no hope of repairs, I suppose?" |
| 38028 | To- morrow-- nay, within six hours, it would be war to the death, Why not begin now, as Sophie had whispered? |
| 38028 | Twenty knots!--that''s about twenty- four miles an hour, is n''t it, a little bit faster than a South- Eastern express train?" |
| 38028 | Was Fate itself ever more unkind to man or woman? |
| 38028 | Was it not his by right? |
| 38028 | Was that a reason why these guns were being mounted?--and what would happen if the_ Nadine_ met force with force, and won? |
| 38028 | Was there ever a more cruel irony of Fate than this? |
| 38028 | Well, now, doctor, are we ready?" |
| 38028 | Were even the guns and their machinery affected by this strange languor which had been afflicting both men and animals for the last day or two? |
| 38028 | What are these people going to do? |
| 38028 | What are we to do? |
| 38028 | What better means could we have than the possession of the heads of the concern? |
| 38028 | What can I do now, left alone as I am?" |
| 38028 | What can they suspect?" |
| 38028 | What can we do against them?" |
| 38028 | What could I think?" |
| 38028 | What could he say or do? |
| 38028 | What did it mean? |
| 38028 | What do I owe it?" |
| 38028 | What do all the society papers say about her? |
| 38028 | What do they know? |
| 38028 | What do you say poppa? |
| 38028 | What do you say, Doctor? |
| 38028 | What do you say, Monsieur le President?" |
| 38028 | What do you say, countess?" |
| 38028 | What do you say, gentlemen?" |
| 38028 | What do you think, viscount?" |
| 38028 | What do you think, viscount?" |
| 38028 | What do you wish us to do?" |
| 38028 | What has happened to Adelaide?--has she turned traitor too? |
| 38028 | What is it?" |
| 38028 | What more would you? |
| 38028 | What on earth can he be doing at Cherbourg?" |
| 38028 | What was he to do? |
| 38028 | What''s happening to Mr Williams just now captain?" |
| 38028 | What''s the matter with changing the subject? |
| 38028 | What''s the matter?" |
| 38028 | What''s the trouble?" |
| 38028 | What''s your idea, Mr Vandel?" |
| 38028 | What''s your idea, marquise, about these two Polar expeditions being started off this year? |
| 38028 | When are you going to tell me this wonderful news of yours?" |
| 38028 | When they got out into the street Lady Olive said, a trifle frigidly:"My dear Chrysie, do n''t you think you did a rather improper thing in there? |
| 38028 | Whence had come this blow which had struck him down so swiftly? |
| 38028 | Which Pole?" |
| 38028 | Why do n''t you call him Shafto?" |
| 38028 | Why not? |
| 38028 | Why not? |
| 38028 | Why not? |
| 38028 | Why, for instance, could you not have performed the miracle that you have just been telling me about in one of our laboratories in Paris? |
| 38028 | Why, what''s the matter?" |
| 38028 | Will you allow me to give you and also your poor men who have been working so hard at the broken engine a little treat?" |
| 38028 | Will you keep the compact which your father made with mine?" |
| 38028 | You have n''t tried to run me much, have you?" |
| 38028 | You said that you wanted my help-- how? |
| 38028 | and is not this the only friend and confidant that I have now left to me? |
| 38028 | and may I hope also for supper?" |
| 38028 | asked his lordship;"you''ve not heard anything unpleasant, have you?" |
| 38028 | he cried, springing to his feet;"you know that, and from whom?" |
| 38028 | he muttered,"is that me?" |
| 38028 | he said to the admirals a few moments later, when the car was rattling over the narrow rails,"and, if so, what are you going to do with this thing?" |
| 38028 | is it not worth fighting for?" |
| 38028 | or the old France-- my France-- the France of my ancestors, as it was in the days when the great Louis said:''L''état c''est moi''? |
| 38028 | she echoed, drawing herself up, and looking at him with a half- angry glint in her eyes,"of what France? |
| 19735 | A chance for what? |
| 19735 | A little diff''rent, my dear, from the way they did business when you and me were pikers, up in the West Forties, eh? |
| 19735 | Alone? |
| 19735 | And Keenan, you say, is in Genoa? |
| 19735 | And do you ever go to New York? |
| 19735 | And do you know what''ll be the end of it all? |
| 19735 | And do you understand what it would imply-- what it would mean? |
| 19735 | And even Jove''s bolts were only electricity, were n''t they? |
| 19735 | And if she does n''t? |
| 19735 | And that means----? |
| 19735 | And then what will it be? |
| 19735 | And then what? |
| 19735 | And then what? |
| 19735 | And then what? |
| 19735 | And then you''ll chew me up an''spit me out, wo n''t you, you blue- gilled Irish bull- dog? |
| 19735 | And then? |
| 19735 | And to what do I owe this visit? |
| 19735 | And what am I expected to do? |
| 19735 | And what do you imagine he will answer? |
| 19735 | And what if we did? |
| 19735 | And what of that? |
| 19735 | And where do you go next? |
| 19735 | And why are you showing me all this? |
| 19735 | And would you accept and agree to the conditions-- the only conditions? |
| 19735 | And you always travel alone? |
| 19735 | And you do n''t want to lay a charge? |
| 19735 | And you got the money? |
| 19735 | And you like Genoa? 19735 And you realize what it means?" |
| 19735 | And you would call that romance? |
| 19735 | And you would like us to get after MacNutt? |
| 19735 | And you''re sure your telegram has sent the Scotland Yard men to Como? |
| 19735 | Are n''t you an American? |
| 19735 | Are you on? |
| 19735 | Are you on? |
| 19735 | Are you ready? |
| 19735 | Are_ you_? |
| 19735 | But I thought you wanted to get away from this sort of thing? |
| 19735 | But MacNutt-- where''s MacNutt? |
| 19735 | But ca n''t you see, Jim, that the further we follow this up the closer and closer it''s bringing us to MacNutt? |
| 19735 | But does it make any difference what I have been, or who I am? |
| 19735 | But even if it''s Keenan? |
| 19735 | But for the love o''God, who''s been doin''things to you? |
| 19735 | But have n''t you made a sort of myth of him? 19735 But here-- how did you get here-- and what''s this Lady Boxspur business?" |
| 19735 | But how did you come to find all this out? 19735 But how did you get here?" |
| 19735 | But how often can we be the glass snake? 19735 But how''s all this going to help us out?" |
| 19735 | But how? |
| 19735 | But is it safe now? |
| 19735 | But it''s only through being honest that I can hold and keep you; ca n''t you see that? 19735 But supposing Keenan himself is on board that steamer?" |
| 19735 | But supposing it''s Pobloff? |
| 19735 | But tired, I know? |
| 19735 | But what has all this to do with Lady Boxspur? |
| 19735 | But what if it_ does_ concern me? |
| 19735 | But what is the difference, if I still_ do_ them? |
| 19735 | But what''s all this to us, now? |
| 19735 | But what''s the noise? |
| 19735 | But what''s the papers, and what t''ell does_ she_ want with''em? |
| 19735 | But where are we going? |
| 19735 | But where will I meet you? |
| 19735 | But where? |
| 19735 | But who cares for graveyards? |
| 19735 | But why are we all in darkness this way? |
| 19735 | But why say that? |
| 19735 | But why should I go there? 19735 But why should I wait?" |
| 19735 | But why should we be afraid of Pobloff, then? |
| 19735 | But why should we cross that bridge before we come to it? |
| 19735 | But why waste time over these things? |
| 19735 | But will you? |
| 19735 | But you told me as much, that night in Monte Carlo? |
| 19735 | But, my God, how''ll you get out of this? |
| 19735 | Buttin''in? |
| 19735 | By the police? |
| 19735 | Ca n''t I? 19735 Ca n''t you trust me?" |
| 19735 | Can you come now? |
| 19735 | Can you walk? |
| 19735 | Charged? |
| 19735 | Could I assist you, madam? |
| 19735 | Could n''t we try-- once more? |
| 19735 | Did n''t you say that Pobloff would never follow us out of Europe? |
| 19735 | Do n''t you know where he''s taking me? 19735 Do n''t you understand? |
| 19735 | Do you care, then? |
| 19735 | Do you care? |
| 19735 | Do you know what you and I ought to be doing, at this moment? 19735 Do you know what_ I_ think is the most beautiful thing in all the world, Jim?" |
| 19735 | Do you think I could? |
| 19735 | Do you think I meant that? 19735 Drunk, am I? |
| 19735 | Feelin''sick, ai n''t you? |
| 19735 | For where? |
| 19735 | Friend o''yours, then, is he? |
| 19735 | Glad for what? |
| 19735 | God? |
| 19735 | Have n''t there been reasons enough for it? |
| 19735 | Have we lost them? |
| 19735 | Have you a lamp, or a light of any kind, Miss Allen? |
| 19735 | Have you a light? |
| 19735 | Have you everything? |
| 19735 | He''s here, you mean? |
| 19735 | How much have you lost? |
| 19735 | I advertised twice, in the Herald? |
| 19735 | I do-- but are we to let Keenan go, when we have him so close to us? |
| 19735 | I suppose not-- but how much were your losses? |
| 19735 | I thought we''d decided to let that-- stay closed? |
| 19735 | I trust I do not intrude? |
| 19735 | I will be here? |
| 19735 | I wonder who and what they are? |
| 19735 | I wonder,said Frank, after a long silence,"how often we shall be able to do this sort of thing? |
| 19735 | If you_ do_ care, Jim, why do you never tell me so? |
| 19735 | In America,she said, laughing a little, to widen his avenue of approach,"you would call me emancipated, would n''t you?" |
| 19735 | In Naples, in five days? |
| 19735 | In the face of those messages? |
| 19735 | Is it worth while-- now? |
| 19735 | Is n''t that enough? |
| 19735 | Is she a frequenter of poolrooms? |
| 19735 | Is she a respectable woman? |
| 19735 | Is that all? |
| 19735 | Is there much at stake,_ signorina_? |
| 19735 | It may sound theatrical, and you may laugh at me, but will you take possession of these papers for me, for a few days? 19735 It''s so long, is n''t it?" |
| 19735 | It-- it sounds like a bag of lightning getting loose, does n''t it? |
| 19735 | Jim,she said suddenly,"why should we play this waiting and retreating game during the next two weeks? |
| 19735 | Kind o''recalls our first meetin'', eh? |
| 19735 | Kind o''remind you of the day I loosened you up with brandy and seltzer, that first time I had to drag and coax you into this dirty business? |
| 19735 | Madam, have you thought, or do you now know, what the cost of this will be to you? |
| 19735 | Miss Allen, are you here? 19735 My God, Frank, what is it?" |
| 19735 | Need me? |
| 19735 | Now what? |
| 19735 | Of course; but, as you say, is it worth while? 19735 Oh, I''m a bit of a globe- trotter-- that''s what you''d call me on your side of the ocean, is n''t it? |
| 19735 | Oh, ca n''t you see I want you-- all of you? |
| 19735 | Oh, do you care? |
| 19735 | On the charge of wire tapping? |
| 19735 | Papers? |
| 19735 | Poolroom? |
| 19735 | Redemption? |
| 19735 | She''s not a frequenter? |
| 19735 | That play got on your nerves, did n''t it? |
| 19735 | That''s true-- but_ did_ you get to Rome? |
| 19735 | That''s twenty- five hundred dollars? |
| 19735 | The Riggi-- what''s that, please? |
| 19735 | The last? |
| 19735 | Then how will you begin? |
| 19735 | Then how would you describe it? |
| 19735 | Then what about Pobloff? |
| 19735 | Then what would you suggest? |
| 19735 | Then what''ll we do? |
| 19735 | Then why are you unkind to me? |
| 19735 | Then why ca n''t I prepare the ground for the New York situation, whatever it may be? |
| 19735 | Then why could n''t you take me in with you? |
| 19735 | Then why do you leave me where so much must be given to other things, to hateful things? |
| 19735 | Then why not take me out of it, and keep me out of it? |
| 19735 | Then why_ are_ you in this room? |
| 19735 | Then you believe this man Penfield will never be punished? |
| 19735 | Then you do n''t care? |
| 19735 | Then you must know Italy pretty well, I suppose? |
| 19735 | Trust you? 19735 We?" |
| 19735 | Well, is n''t it about time he did? 19735 Well, what are the facts?" |
| 19735 | Well, why could n''t_ I_? 19735 Well?" |
| 19735 | What are all the fireworks for? |
| 19735 | What are you doing that for? |
| 19735 | What are_ you_ doing here? |
| 19735 | What bridge? |
| 19735 | What danger? |
| 19735 | What difference should that make? |
| 19735 | What do you mean by saying he''ll punish himself? |
| 19735 | What do you mean by that? |
| 19735 | What do you mean by that? |
| 19735 | What do you mean? |
| 19735 | What does this mean? |
| 19735 | What greater crown may one hope for, in any activity of life, than a beautiful woman? |
| 19735 | What has God to do with all this-- or with us? |
| 19735 | What has he ever done to you? 19735 What has made you think of all this?" |
| 19735 | What if an officer should introduce you to me? |
| 19735 | What in hell d''you want? |
| 19735 | What is it? |
| 19735 | What is it? |
| 19735 | What is it? |
| 19735 | What men? |
| 19735 | What of him? |
| 19735 | What sort of harm? |
| 19735 | What sort of work? |
| 19735 | What woman? |
| 19735 | What''s all this, anyway? |
| 19735 | What''s on the floor above? |
| 19735 | What, in the name of heaven, do_ you_ want in here? 19735 What, madam, did you come here for?" |
| 19735 | Where are we going? |
| 19735 | Where d''you go? |
| 19735 | Where d''you want to go? |
| 19735 | Where is the Captain of the Port, then? |
| 19735 | Where would I see the Herald? |
| 19735 | Where''d you get a license for buttin''in on this? |
| 19735 | Who are_ they_? |
| 19735 | Who can be happy, and think? |
| 19735 | Who could help it, at this sort of work? |
| 19735 | Who is ever alone? |
| 19735 | Who will give us this? |
| 19735 | Who would n''t? |
| 19735 | Who''s Lady Boxspur? |
| 19735 | Why did n''t you send me money, or help me? |
| 19735 | Why did n''t you write? |
| 19735 | Why do you say that? |
| 19735 | Why not now? 19735 Why not?" |
| 19735 | Why should you remind me of how hard it is, and how little I''ve been able to do? |
| 19735 | Why would it? |
| 19735 | Will the gentleman speak up and explain? |
| 19735 | Will you come in? |
| 19735 | Will you take the risk? |
| 19735 | Wo n''t you be reasonable? |
| 19735 | You damned can- slinger, d''you suppose I''m wastin''cab- fare doin''church rescue work? 19735 You do n''t notice anything strikin''?" |
| 19735 | You had given me up? |
| 19735 | You mean by standing pat with Keenan? |
| 19735 | You mean it? |
| 19735 | You mean that we must n''t even look at each other? |
| 19735 | You mean that we''re all gamblers, at heart? |
| 19735 | You mean the cage worked automatically, that it went up, with MacNutt still leaning out? |
| 19735 | You mean you''ll entice him and trap him here? |
| 19735 | You''re back-- and safe? |
| 19735 | You''re not happy, are you? |
| 19735 | You''re sure of that? |
| 19735 | You-- you did it? |
| 19735 | Your baggage? |
| 19735 | _ For the love of God, what is it_? |
| 19735 | _ Is_ it luck? |
| 19735 | _ Is_ it safe here, any longer? |
| 19735 | _ Jim, where are you_? |
| 19735 | _ Or something more important_? |
| 19735 | _ What is it you want to say_? |
| 19735 | _ What is it you want to say_? |
| 19735 | ******"Wo n''t they find out, and everything be known, before we can get to the station?" |
| 19735 | And have n''t we got real facts to face?" |
| 19735 | And is anything wrong?" |
| 19735 | And what do you want us to do?" |
| 19735 | And what was she, then? |
| 19735 | And what was the meaning and the direction of it all? |
| 19735 | And what would it lead to? |
| 19735 | And when will MacNutt get us where we ca n''t break away? |
| 19735 | And why with you?" |
| 19735 | But ca n''t you feel that he''s left us in the lurch, that we''re shut up here, while he''s giving us the laugh and getting away?" |
| 19735 | But can you manage the rope?" |
| 19735 | But first, tell me this: did you get a chance to look over Keenan''s room?" |
| 19735 | But he added, as a matter of form:"You think, then, that life today_ is_ as romantic as it once was?" |
| 19735 | But is it safe to stay here? |
| 19735 | But why, above all, had she kept silent, and given him no warning? |
| 19735 | But, above all, what had brought about the sudden change? |
| 19735 | CHAPTER XII THE DOORWAY OF SURPRISE"May I speak to you a moment?" |
| 19735 | CHAPTER XV WIRELESS MESSAGES"What are we to do?" |
| 19735 | Ca n''t you make it out?" |
| 19735 | Ca n''t you see I need you? |
| 19735 | Ca n''t you see this is_ killing me_?" |
| 19735 | Ca n''t you see what''s going on?" |
| 19735 | Ca n''t you see? |
| 19735 | Can you do it? |
| 19735 | Could he take her out to her steamer? |
| 19735 | Could he, in any way, carry her out to her steamer? |
| 19735 | Do you dream----?" |
| 19735 | Do you hear what it is? |
| 19735 | Do you imagine I would endure the touch of your hands, if it was n''t to save me till this? |
| 19735 | Do you understand?" |
| 19735 | Have you thought where we are?" |
| 19735 | He remembered, lazily, that it sounded like the distant voice of Keenan-- but where was Keenan? |
| 19735 | He took three steps toward where she still stood motionless, and in an agonized whisper cried out to her:"_ My God, Frank, what is it_?" |
| 19735 | Her breast heaved, at his silence, but all she said was:"Is it safe, Jim?" |
| 19735 | How dare_ you_ come here?" |
| 19735 | How is he to be caught, even by a Pobloff?" |
| 19735 | How''d you get here?" |
| 19735 | I mean, how many times can we afford to leave something behind, and break away, and hope to grow whole and sound again? |
| 19735 | I mean,_ is_ there anything to like in this place?" |
| 19735 | I wonder how long luck-- mere luck, will be with us?" |
| 19735 | If it was all the fruit of blind chance, if it came thus unearned and accidental, why should he not have his share of it? |
| 19735 | Instead, she asked him:"Where did you send the Paris letters?" |
| 19735 | Is n''t he only a fable to us now? |
| 19735 | MacNutt seemed to follow her line of flashing thought, for he emitted a short bark of a laugh and said:"It''s pretty small, this world, is n''t it? |
| 19735 | Money? |
| 19735 | Or could it be that she was acting a part for him? |
| 19735 | Or had it been meant as a signal? |
| 19735 | Or jewelry?" |
| 19735 | That was the danger he had so closely skirted? |
| 19735 | That was the question she asked herself, with a little sobbing gasp-- what was she, trading thus, even in thought, on her bruised and wearied body? |
| 19735 | Then, with his hand on Durkin''s cab door he said, with unfeigned bewilderment:"Say, what''s the game of your actress friend, anyway?" |
| 19735 | Think of it, Jim!--what can be lovelier than the restoration of sanity and beauty and meaning to a suffering and tortured life? |
| 19735 | This is the last?" |
| 19735 | Was it some small sound or movement that she had heard, or was it some minute vibration of floor that she had felt? |
| 19735 | Was it there by accident? |
| 19735 | What happened after the rue de Sèvres?" |
| 19735 | What has changed?" |
| 19735 | What has trust to do in a business like ours?" |
| 19735 | What is it I can do for you?" |
| 19735 | What is it? |
| 19735 | What is it?" |
| 19735 | Why ca n''t we work a little harder to win his confidence?" |
| 19735 | Why do n''t you explain?" |
| 19735 | Why do n''t you speak?" |
| 19735 | Why had no inkling of it crept to his ears? |
| 19735 | Why had she weakened and surrendered, when he himself, the oldtime weakling of the two, had clung so desperately to the narrow path of rectitude? |
| 19735 | Why, should you want to punish_ him_?" |
| 19735 | Yet for what? |
| 19735 | Yet for what? |
| 19735 | _ Could it be Frank herself in danger, and wanting him_? |
| 19735 | she demurred,"and for_ you_?" |
| 19735 | that all this fine_ bravado_ was an attitude, a rôle, a pretense, taken on for his sake? |
| 21716 | ''Pon my word, that''s cool,said Slagg, who came up at the moment;"an''suppose we wants to continue our voyage to England, or Indy, or Chiny?" |
| 21716 | A what- cock? |
| 21716 | All well, eh? |
| 21716 | And how dare you starve your lodger in that way? |
| 21716 | And what about savages, sir? |
| 21716 | And what if you had turned up an entirely unsuitable or inapplicable verse? |
| 21716 | And what was mamma''s name? |
| 21716 | And what,he added, with a sudden look of awe,"if the cable should break?" |
| 21716 | And what,said Robin with a laugh,"if there should be a few clerks in the bank? |
| 21716 | And who is Cyrus Field? |
| 21716 | And who may that be? |
| 21716 | And you were cook? |
| 21716 | And you, father? |
| 21716 | And your surname? |
| 21716 | Are any labourers to go with us? |
| 21716 | Ay, but how long did it last? |
| 21716 | Ay, in the caves-- or anywhere? |
| 21716 | Bin an''took too much, eh? |
| 21716 | But I say, young Wright,he added in a lower tone, leading our hero aside,"what''s this rumour I hear about a ghost in the steward''s cabin?" |
| 21716 | But did the old lady get the parcel all right? |
| 21716 | But does not the electricity hurt the monkeys? |
| 21716 | But have they not got land- lines of telegraph which work well enough? |
| 21716 | But how am I to get to it, Jim; how am I ever to find the way? |
| 21716 | But how could it have entangled itself so? |
| 21716 | But how is that to be done,asked Robin,"as we have neither oar nor rudder?" |
| 21716 | But how shall we lift it over the side? |
| 21716 | But how, Sam? 21716 But is it so very nice to smoke opium?" |
| 21716 | But pirates what have bin blow''d to atoms,said Slagg,"ai n''t likely to turn up again, are they?" |
| 21716 | But shall we have time for this trip if you should prove successful? |
| 21716 | But surely you do n''t mean to put yourself in the power of the pirates? |
| 21716 | But surely you do not think our case so desperate? |
| 21716 | But tell me, have he and Stumps never once quarrelled since leaving England? |
| 21716 | But what about Stumps? |
| 21716 | But what did the poor wife do? |
| 21716 | But what is it about? |
| 21716 | But what objection have you to steamers, uncle Rik? |
| 21716 | But where will_ you_ sleep? |
| 21716 | But why go at all to- day, Jim; wo n''t to- morrow do? |
| 21716 | But why not as the captain''s daughter-- or his wife? |
| 21716 | But wo n''t you let us go too? |
| 21716 | But you wo n''t hurt poor Stumps when you catch him, will you? |
| 21716 | By the way, Frank, what about uncle Rik? 21716 By the way,"said Robin,"is it true that monkeys may prove to be more troublesome to us in these regions than sparrows and crows are at home?" |
| 21716 | Can I lend you a hand, Mr Shipton? |
| 21716 | D''you know that that is Cyrus Field? |
| 21716 | D''you know, I do n''t believe in pirates? |
| 21716 | D''you think so, Sam? |
| 21716 | Did n''t I know your mother? |
| 21716 | Did n''t I say so? |
| 21716 | Did you not see symptoms of life somewhere? |
| 21716 | Did_ He_ send you to fetch me? |
| 21716 | Do n''t know? |
| 21716 | Do n''t you agree with me, Robin? |
| 21716 | Do n''t you know it is Samuel Shipton, the great electrician? |
| 21716 | Do n''t you know that starving a man is equal to murdering him, and that you''ll be liable to be hung if he dies? 21716 Do n''t you know, Robin, that everything a''most works for a time, and then, sooner or later-- usually sooner-- the ridiculous thing bursts up?" |
| 21716 | Do you really think it is a pirate? |
| 21716 | Do you think it likely, sir, that we may meet with any of the rascals? |
| 21716 | Do? |
| 21716 | Does n''t it seem as if the Baron Monkhausen''s tales were possible after all? |
| 21716 | Does_ he_ know everysing? |
| 21716 | Ebbysneezer Smith-- eh? 21716 Far away?" |
| 21716 | For me? 21716 George,"answered the composed wife,"do n''t you think it is rather soon to trouble ourselves with that question? |
| 21716 | Goin''to be long away? |
| 21716 | Good,said the captain, turning to the chief engineer;"are the hose attached and the boilers hot?" |
| 21716 | Hallo who have you got here? |
| 21716 | Has no doctor bin to see him? |
| 21716 | Have n''t we got lots of pretty things here? |
| 21716 | Have n''t you promised to take me back to mamma? |
| 21716 | Have you done with dates, now, my learned friend? |
| 21716 | He''s a wiry subject, I s''pose, like the rest of''em? |
| 21716 | How can we ever git at it_ now_? |
| 21716 | How d''ee know that? |
| 21716 | How d''ee know what sort o''bed it''s got to lie on? |
| 21716 | How did it happen, Sam? |
| 21716 | How do you manage that, sir? |
| 21716 | I beg pardon,said Mr Field, checking himself,"what did you say?" |
| 21716 | I believe you as to your consciousness; but, to be serious, Robin, why should being in love make you miserable? |
| 21716 | I say, Sam, are you a member of the Royal Geographical Society, or a walking atlas? |
| 21716 | I suppose you mean Bombay? |
| 21716 | I tell''ee what it is, mates,said Johnson,"the whole o''the booty is mine,''cause why? |
| 21716 | I think I do, sir; but_ how_ is the exact amount of resistance tested? |
| 21716 | I wish we were nearer shore,said Letta, timidly, to Robin, as they stood looking over the bulwarks;"what is the land we see far away on our left?" |
| 21716 | If it had bin a pool, Mr Shipton,said Slagg,"it would n''t have made you cold;''cause why? |
| 21716 | Ill? 21716 Indeed? |
| 21716 | Indeed? |
| 21716 | Is Mr Lowstoft in his office? |
| 21716 | Is Slagg safe? |
| 21716 | Is he? |
| 21716 | Is it a long time since you came here? |
| 21716 | Is it to be land- telegraphs to- day, or submarine cables? |
| 21716 | Is it? |
| 21716 | Is she alive and well? |
| 21716 | Is that you, Slagg? |
| 21716 | Is the water- cask fast, Robin? |
| 21716 | Is there a chorus? |
| 21716 | Is there any great difference between it and the old ones? |
| 21716 | Letta, dear, are you moralising or meditating? |
| 21716 | Look ere, yous oftin say to me afore you hoed away,` Geo''gie, do,_ do_ give up d''inkin'',''--you''members? |
| 21716 | Look hard at it, little one; do you recognise any object that used to be in your old home? |
| 21716 | Look here, Johnson,said Sam,"you''ve often seen men shaking a carpet, have n''t you?" |
| 21716 | Lucky that we made up the parcels last night, warn''t it? |
| 21716 | May I send it? |
| 21716 | Me? 21716 Mr Smith, eh? |
| 21716 | Much obleedged to''em,said Johnson,"an''are they both alive?" |
| 21716 | Musser,he said one day, during a thunderstorm, raising his large eyes to his mother''s face with intense gravity,--"Musser, what is lightenin''?" |
| 21716 | Nan,said the husband, with a perplexed look,"what_ are_ we to do with our Robin when he grows up?" |
| 21716 | Nice, my dear? 21716 Nor Gibson?" |
| 21716 | Nor one named Shunks? |
| 21716 | Not broken? |
| 21716 | Not dead? |
| 21716 | Now, what think you, mother? 21716 Robin, what_ are_ insulators?" |
| 21716 | Robin,said Slagg doubtingly,"d''you expect me for to believe_ that_?" |
| 21716 | Shall we go forward and trust them as honest traders? |
| 21716 | So, you''re actually going to begin to coal to- morrow? |
| 21716 | That''s true-- where was I? 21716 The matter? |
| 21716 | Then it ai n''t a tame one? |
| 21716 | To where? |
| 21716 | Was she lost in the year 1850? |
| 21716 | Was there no river or pond nigh? 21716 Wass you frighted?" |
| 21716 | We shall only be too happy to go if you can manage it,replied Robin;"but Stumps, what about him? |
| 21716 | Well, and what business had you to follow me? |
| 21716 | Well, does the telegraph puzzle you? |
| 21716 | Well, grunkle Rik, w''at is it? |
| 21716 | Well, then, what is it? 21716 Well, what d''ee think of Ebbysneezer Smith, my electrical toolip?" |
| 21716 | Well, what do you make of it? |
| 21716 | Well, what of that? |
| 21716 | Well, what of them? |
| 21716 | Well, what then? |
| 21716 | Well,he said, angrily,"how long do you mean to keep us here?" |
| 21716 | Wh- what d''ee take me for? |
| 21716 | What are these waves? |
| 21716 | What are they about over there? |
| 21716 | What are you about? |
| 21716 | What can he be up to? |
| 21716 | What could we do, with the sea between us and the ship? 21716 What d''ye mean by interferin''wi''_ my_, friend at his dewotions, you monkey- faced polypus?" |
| 21716 | What d''ye mean? |
| 21716 | What is it, Rik? |
| 21716 | What is it? |
| 21716 | What is settled? |
| 21716 | What is to be done with Letta while we attack? |
| 21716 | What made you climb the post, Robin? |
| 21716 | What makes me think so, stooard? |
| 21716 | What makes you think so, Johnson? |
| 21716 | What o''that? |
| 21716 | What others? 21716 What ship without an enemy?" |
| 21716 | What sort of trouble has the man got into? |
| 21716 | What think you, Robin? |
| 21716 | What''s that? |
| 21716 | What''s that? |
| 21716 | What''s wrong with you? |
| 21716 | What, in the caves? |
| 21716 | What-- Cyrus Field? |
| 21716 | When did he eat last? |
| 21716 | When must I be on board? |
| 21716 | Where are they? |
| 21716 | Where away? |
| 21716 | Where did she go to? |
| 21716 | Where have you stowed away my hair- brush, you rascal? |
| 21716 | Where is Sarawak? |
| 21716 | Where''ave you bin to? |
| 21716 | Where''s the little girl they took from Sarawak? |
| 21716 | Which''un? |
| 21716 | Who is he? |
| 21716 | Who is he?--what? 21716 Who is that?" |
| 21716 | Who''s that? 21716 Whom do you refer to, George?" |
| 21716 | Whom will you go with, Letta? |
| 21716 | Whose is it, then? |
| 21716 | Why did you not let me know this sooner? |
| 21716 | Why do n''t ye shoot yerself, Mister Flinn? |
| 21716 | Why should you wonder,returned the man with a smile,"at any question which aims at the investigation of that great enigma styled the human mind? |
| 21716 | Why so, Robin? 21716 Why, Stumps, what''s the matter with yon?" |
| 21716 | Why, boy, what are you laughing at? |
| 21716 | Why, how do you know that my mother gave me a bible? |
| 21716 | Why, what''s the matter with me, an''where am I? |
| 21716 | Why; he''s not worse, is he? |
| 21716 | Why? 21716 Wilful man,"said Sam,"did n''t I advise you not to come? |
| 21716 | Wot''s that you say? |
| 21716 | Yes there is; yonder is one sitting on the rocks,said Stumps;"do n''t you see him move?" |
| 21716 | Yes, but what causes the tapping? |
| 21716 | Yes, is n''t it? 21716 Yes; who is he? |
| 21716 | You have n''t got many tigers in these parts, I suppose? |
| 21716 | You hungry-- hungry? |
| 21716 | You tink me one divl? |
| 21716 | You would n''t object to hear the cook''s last? |
| 21716 | You''re a doctor, sir, I suppose? |
| 21716 | You''re quite sure of the name of the vessel he sailed in? |
| 21716 | You''ve got a lightning conductor on the mast, of course? |
| 21716 | Your opinion, brother,said Mr Wright,"is so valuable, that no doubt your nephew has been keeping it to the last as a sort of tit- bit-- eh, Robin?" |
| 21716 | ` No sign of what, madam?'' 21716 ` What''s the matter, madam?'' |
| 21716 | ` What''s wrong, madam?'' 21716 ` Wo n''t you come too, Slagg?'' |
| 21716 | `_ How are you all_?'' 21716 ( Then, after a few minutes),Grunkle Rik, is you finish bekfist?" |
| 21716 | A good ship, ably commanded, well manned, and with plenty of sea- room,-- what more could be desired? |
| 21716 | An''I''s often said to myself, Is that the''trissity--?" |
| 21716 | And the others-- are they kind to you?" |
| 21716 | And what said they about our capture?" |
| 21716 | And what sort of work, it may be asked, can this volatile fellow perform? |
| 21716 | And you see that gentleman looking at the paying- out gear so earnestly?" |
| 21716 | Any coals? |
| 21716 | Anyhow, as long as you''re Wright, of course you ca n''t be wrong-- eh, young feller?" |
| 21716 | Anyhow, there was Robert the Bruce-- he was a king, warn''t he, an''a skull- cracker? |
| 21716 | Are there any of them still remaining here?" |
| 21716 | Are you hurt?" |
| 21716 | Are you sure he did not send you for some one else-- one of his mess- mates?" |
| 21716 | As for teaching-- what teaching did you want? |
| 21716 | Besides, have not dozens of cables been working satisfactorily for many years, without showing signs of bursting up as yet?" |
| 21716 | Besides, it''s all very well your saying you have good ground for believing she cares for me; but how can you know? |
| 21716 | But ai n''t the nasty things made of iron-- like kitchen kettles? |
| 21716 | But are you sure-- quite sure?" |
| 21716 | But how is it, sir, that that there electricity works? |
| 21716 | But if they had come to rob, do n''t you think they would not have returned to their ship without captives or booty?" |
| 21716 | But it was the sea washin''out and in fresh that kep''the temperater low-- d''ee see?" |
| 21716 | But tell me, little one, what is your name?" |
| 21716 | But who can they be? |
| 21716 | But you''re not killed? |
| 21716 | But, I say, how is it that the electricity works through the cable? |
| 21716 | But, now, what do you intend to do?" |
| 21716 | But-- I say--""What''s wrong now?" |
| 21716 | But-- couldn''t you give it me without dates? |
| 21716 | By the way, I saw you talking with unusual earnestness this morning to Jim Slagg; what was the matter with him?" |
| 21716 | By the way, how long is your cable?" |
| 21716 | By the way-- what''s your name?" |
| 21716 | Can you do it?" |
| 21716 | Could we not return to the hotel first?" |
| 21716 | D''ee see?" |
| 21716 | D''ee see?" |
| 21716 | D''ee think it''s likely, sir, that we''ll find out who the parents o''poor Miss Letta is?" |
| 21716 | D''ye hear? |
| 21716 | D''you understand?" |
| 21716 | D''you understand?" |
| 21716 | Did n''t you tell me, young man, that they said they''d send it by telegraph as soon as possible?'' |
| 21716 | Did you ever hear tell of gorillas being in them regions?" |
| 21716 | Did you ever see any other set of pirates land here, little one, except your-- your own set?" |
| 21716 | Did you hear how deep the captain said it was hereabouts?" |
| 21716 | Did you make the calculations I gave you yesterday?" |
| 21716 | Do n''t you know that Cyrus Field is the man who brought about the laying of the great Atlantic Cable in 1858?" |
| 21716 | Do n''t you see the top of her masts?" |
| 21716 | Do n''t you think that a lecture without dates would be pleasantly original as well as instructive?" |
| 21716 | Do you not think so?" |
| 21716 | Do you suppose that that babby could go through life like an or''nary babby? |
| 21716 | Does Captain Anderson still command her?" |
| 21716 | Does a morbid devotion to chicken and ham, or sweets, influence you?" |
| 21716 | Does the words run along the cable,--or''ow?" |
| 21716 | Even if we were on the deck could we four deliver him from a hundred?" |
| 21716 | Had he done anything wrong, or had he unwittingly neglected some duty? |
| 21716 | Had you not better take off your bag? |
| 21716 | Has He not reason then for beginnin''with` let not your heart be troubled''? |
| 21716 | Has n''t our frindship only just begood, an''is n''t it goin''to be cut short all of a suddint, niver more to be renewed?" |
| 21716 | Have you any clothes at the cave?" |
| 21716 | Have you been introdooced to Capting Anderson yet?" |
| 21716 | I never could stand ceremony, so you''ll accustom yourself to the new name as quickly as you can-- but perhaps it''s not new to you?" |
| 21716 | I see you were,"resumed the captain;"and you and he had something to do, now, with bags of some sort?" |
| 21716 | I want more noise and smoke than mischief-- d''ye understand?" |
| 21716 | I was almost as much surprised to see Jeff sit down and laugh heartily.--Now, what_ do_ you think it could have been?" |
| 21716 | I wonder whether this should be counted a difficulty or a danger?" |
| 21716 | I''m such a miserable sort of fellow-- how could I expect_ such_ a creature to throw herself away on_ me_? |
| 21716 | I''ve weighted the safety- valves to give it force?" |
| 21716 | In 1849, I say, a Mr Walker--""Any relation to Hookey?" |
| 21716 | Indeed, if it were not so, he should not be here.--Was that a shark''s fin alongside?" |
| 21716 | Is it right for a Wright to go wrong at the wery beginnin''of his career? |
| 21716 | Is this the way to meet an old friend? |
| 21716 | Let me help-- No?" |
| 21716 | Let me think-- wasn''t there a Robert the Great once?" |
| 21716 | May I come to see you?" |
| 21716 | May I read it aloud?" |
| 21716 | Mr Lowstoft did not appear to listen to his remarks, but said suddenly--"You''ve studied the science of electricity, I believe?" |
| 21716 | Need it be said that something very like despair reigned for the moment on board the Great Eastern? |
| 21716 | Now, d''you call_ that_ successful telegraphing?" |
| 21716 | Now, d''you understand that, Robin?" |
| 21716 | Now, do you understand it?" |
| 21716 | Of course you have not dared to speak to her?" |
| 21716 | Of what use was it that Slagg told him the Great Eastern was 692 feet long by 83 feet broad, and 70 feet deep? |
| 21716 | Presenting this to his friend, Sam said,"May I despatch it?" |
| 21716 | Stay-- your address? |
| 21716 | The first must be a message from the Queen to the King of Denmark-- Or is it the President?" |
| 21716 | Vill you com''? |
| 21716 | W''at? |
| 21716 | Was he going to be dismissed? |
| 21716 | Was this bird fed on gutta- percha shavings, sister Nan?" |
| 21716 | Well, suppose I have a bit of iron in America, with an electric battery in Ireland, or_ vice versa_--""W''ot''s wicey wersa, Mr Wright?" |
| 21716 | Well?" |
| 21716 | Well?'' |
| 21716 | What d''ye want wi''me?" |
| 21716 | What d''ye want with him?" |
| 21716 | What do you think, Slagg?" |
| 21716 | What does he mean by that?" |
| 21716 | What is it?" |
| 21716 | What may_ you_ be, young feller?" |
| 21716 | What think you, Robin?" |
| 21716 | What were you doing?--washing your feet in the sea?" |
| 21716 | What''s your first name, Mister Wright?" |
| 21716 | What_ do_ it do, Mr Wright? |
| 21716 | When the excitement of the meeting had somewhat subsided, Letta suddenly said,"But where is mamma? |
| 21716 | Where did you fall from, Robin-- the tree top?" |
| 21716 | Where has she gone to?" |
| 21716 | Where is mamma?" |
| 21716 | Who is he?" |
| 21716 | Who''s finer, I should like to know, than a feller''s mother?" |
| 21716 | Who''s goin''to make the first reslootion?" |
| 21716 | Why do you ask?" |
| 21716 | Why do_ you_?'' |
| 21716 | Why does nobody ask for_ my_ opinion on the matter?" |
| 21716 | Why, how''s that? |
| 21716 | Why?" |
| 21716 | Wid a grunt he stood back an''gave the post a look o''surprise, as much as to say, Did ye do that a- purpose, ye spalpeen? |
| 21716 | Will father consent?" |
| 21716 | Will you not allow me to give my benefactor a drink? |
| 21716 | Will you not arise and go with me, both of us looking unto Jesus?" |
| 21716 | Would she be angry?" |
| 21716 | Would you believe it,"he added, addressing himself to Letta,"that wild animals frequently give us great trouble? |
| 21716 | Would you like to go?" |
| 21716 | You never heard of a turnip bein''muddled, did you?" |
| 21716 | You see these two gentlemen conversing near the companion- hatch?" |
| 21716 | You''ll ship now, eh?" |
| 21716 | You''re not ill, are you?" |
| 21716 | You''ve heard of Mr Cyrus Field, I presume?" |
| 21716 | You''ve not had much shootin''yet, I suppose?" |
| 21716 | ` Wha''--wha''--what''s that?'' |
| 21716 | an''if you clap too much on the safety- valves wo n''t they go up at once? |
| 21716 | an''if you knock a hole in''em wo n''t they go down at once? |
| 21716 | and leave Letta, not to mention Meerta and Bungo, behind us? |
| 21716 | and what has electrified you, Robin?" |
| 21716 | and wo n''t that rust? |
| 21716 | asked Jim Slagg, who had become deeply interested in the telegraphist''s discourse;"do n''t they bother you sometimes?" |
| 21716 | awake at last?" |
| 21716 | cried Johnson with vehemence,"why, how much proof do you want? |
| 21716 | cried Madge,"is that the way submarine cables are laid, by throwing them over the sea?" |
| 21716 | echoed Robin, with an earnest look at the sailor;"was she an emigrant ship?" |
| 21716 | echoed Robin,"how is that? |
| 21716 | ejaculated Jim, with his mouth full-- too full, we might say--"what goodness is there in a feller goin''_ home_, eh? |
| 21716 | exclaimed Letta;"and you''ll be sure to come home soon?" |
| 21716 | fat is dis?" |
| 21716 | fire at_ that_?" |
| 21716 | from the ledge sixty or seventy feet up there? |
| 21716 | he cried,"ai n''t you goin''to say your prayers, you white- livered electrician? |
| 21716 | he shouted, seizing both the extended little hands and kissing the musical wrinkles from her brow,"why am I like a magnet? |
| 21716 | interrupted Madge impatiently;"why do you keep us in suspense?" |
| 21716 | laughed Jim Slagg, for it was he;"no, you small electrician, you''aven''t got battery- power enough to do_ me_ much damage; but what d''ye mean by it? |
| 21716 | laughed the weird old creature who ushered the astonished youths into this strange banqueting hall,"the rubberts-- rubbers-- you calls dem?" |
| 21716 | make a proposal of marriage by telegraph?" |
| 21716 | must we?" |
| 21716 | repeated Letta;"where have you been? |
| 21716 | repeated Rik indignantly, as though the misfortune were his own-- for he was a very sympathetic captain--"do? |
| 21716 | said Jim Slagg, who had hitherto listened in silence to the conversation;"why, what d''ye call this?" |
| 21716 | said Robin, with sudden animation, pointing to the horizon straight ahead of them;"is that the big raft or a ship?" |
| 21716 | she cried almost hysterically,"do n''t you know me-- don''t you know Letta?" |
| 21716 | sir?" |
| 21716 | the ghost?'' |
| 21716 | unable to sleep, like the rest of us?" |
| 21716 | w''y, w''ot is it then?" |
| 21716 | what about him?" |
| 21716 | where are your matches? |
| 21716 | why did you go away? |
| 48138 | What,say they,"shall we lay out our money to protect the trade of Quakers? |
| 48138 | Would twenty shillings have ruined Mr. Hampden''s fortune? 48138 Your reasons for that opinion?" |
| 48138 | Your reasons for that opinion? |
| 48138 | ''Methinks I hear some of you say,"must a man afford himself no leisure?" |
| 48138 | ''So what signifies wishing and hoping for better times? |
| 48138 | Admit it to be true, though perhaps the amazing increase of English consumption might stop most of it here,--to whose profit is this to redound? |
| 48138 | Among these witty gentlemen let us take a view of Ridentius: what a contemptible figure does he make with his train of paltry admirers? |
| 48138 | An odd volume of a set of books bears not the value of its proportion to the set: what think you of the odd half of a pair of scissars? |
| 48138 | And are not the public the only judges what share of reputation they think proper to allow any man? |
| 48138 | And are not the_ royal_ governments around us exempt from_ these_ misfortunes? |
| 48138 | And are ye still? |
| 48138 | And can you really, gentlemen, find matter of triumph in this_ rejection_ as you call it? |
| 48138 | And do they know that, by that statute, money is not to be raised on the subject but by consent of parliament? |
| 48138 | And do those of you, gentlemen, reproach me with this, who, among near four thousand voters, had scarcely a score more than I had? |
| 48138 | And if I draw ill ones, can they fit any but those that deserve them? |
| 48138 | And is our_ country_, any more than our city, altogether free from danger? |
| 48138 | And others who live in the country, when they are told of the danger the city is in from attempts by sea, may say,"What is that to us? |
| 48138 | And ought any but such to be concerned that they have their deserts? |
| 48138 | And possess it they did, even without a standing army:( what can be a stronger proof of the security of their possession?) |
| 48138 | And what are the advantages they may reasonably expect? |
| 48138 | And what hast thou here?_[ Would to God no such priests were to be found among us]. |
| 48138 | And why do you think I have a fixed enmity to the proprietaries? |
| 48138 | And why may not a man use the boldness and freedom of telling his friends, that their long visits sometimes incommode him? |
| 48138 | And why"except the Indian ravages,"is a_ little intermission_ to be denominated"the most perfect tranquillity?" |
| 48138 | And would it not seem less right, if the charge and labour of gaining the additional territory to Britain had been borne by the settlers themselves? |
| 48138 | And would they not then object to such a duty? |
| 48138 | And yet is there not too much of it? |
| 48138 | And yet_ here_ was no proprietary clamour about bribery,& c. And why so? |
| 48138 | And, after all, of what use is this pride of appearance, for which so much is risked, so much is suffered? |
| 48138 | Are not the people of city and country connected as relations, both by blood and marriage, and in friendships equally dear? |
| 48138 | Are there not pamphlets continually written, and daily sold in our streets, to justify and encourage it? |
| 48138 | Are these agents or commissaries to try causes where life is concerned? |
| 48138 | Are they not likewise united in interest, and mutually useful and necessary to each other? |
| 48138 | Are you then your own master? |
| 48138 | As how? |
| 48138 | But are these the sentiments of true Pensylvanians, of fellow- countrymen, or even of men, that have common sense or goodness? |
| 48138 | But if I go into a white man''s house at Albany, and ask for victuals and drink, they say, Where is your money? |
| 48138 | But is it not a fact known to you all, that the assembly_ did_ endeavour to strengthen the hands of the government? |
| 48138 | But is this right reasoning? |
| 48138 | But what does that avail to you, who are in the proprietary interest? |
| 48138 | But what is the testimony of the assembly; who in his opinion are equally rash, ignorant, and inconsiderate with the petitioners? |
| 48138 | But what will fame be to an ephemera, who no longer exists? |
| 48138 | By the colony assemblies, or by parliament? |
| 48138 | By whom are they to be repealed? |
| 48138 | By whom were they quieted? |
| 48138 | Called in again._]_ Q._ Is the American stamp act an equal tax on the country? |
| 48138 | Can no one bear it for me? |
| 48138 | Can this be from proprietary partizans? |
| 48138 | Can you really, gentlemen, by no means conceive, that proprietary government disagreements are incident to the nature of proprietary governments? |
| 48138 | Could he do this in Ireland? |
| 48138 | Could_ you_, much respected[ Mr. Norris], go but a little farther, and disapprove the application itself? |
| 48138 | Did you embrace it, and how often? |
| 48138 | Do_ you_ intend to give them up, when at the next election_ you_ are made assemblymen? |
| 48138 | For he govern''d his passions,& c. What signifies our wishing? |
| 48138 | For what have I done, that they should think unfavourably of me? |
| 48138 | From such an assembly can a perfect production be expected? |
| 48138 | Has the government sufficient strength, even with all its supports, to venture on the apprehending and punishment of those notorious offenders? |
| 48138 | Have we then any thing that we can call our own? |
| 48138 | Have you ever seen the barometer so low as of late? |
| 48138 | His circumstances are such, as only put him above necessity, without affording him many superfluities: yet who is greater than Cato? |
| 48138 | How different from this character is that of the good- natured, gay Eugenius? |
| 48138 | How many impertinencies do we daily suffer with great uneasiness, because we have not courage enough to discover our dislike? |
| 48138 | How shall we ever be able to pay them? |
| 48138 | How then can my going to England prevent this accommodation? |
| 48138 | How very few of us continue so long? |
| 48138 | I suppose it can not exceed 40,000_l.__ Q._ How then do you pay the balance? |
| 48138 | If I know a man to be a designing knave, must I ask his consent, to bid my friends beware of him? |
| 48138 | If any thing is meant by asking, why any man''s picture should be published which he never sat for? |
| 48138 | If it has not, why are you angry at those who would strengthen its hands by a more immediate royal authority? |
| 48138 | If it has, why is not the thing done? |
| 48138 | If it is asked,_ What_ can such farmers raise, wherewith to pay for the manufactures they may want from us? |
| 48138 | If so, tell it us honestly beforehand, that we may know what we are to expect when we are about to choose you? |
| 48138 | If such should be the case, which God forbid, how soon may the mischief spread to our frontier countries? |
| 48138 | If then we consider and compare Britain and America, in these several particulars, upon the question,"To which is it safest to lend money?" |
| 48138 | If you were a servant, would you not be ashamed that a good master should catch you idle? |
| 48138 | In fine, why should the countenance of a state be_ partially_ afforded to its people, unless it be most in favour of those who have most merit? |
| 48138 | In the mean time, why do you"believe it will preclude all_ accommodation_ with them on just and reasonable terms?" |
| 48138 | Is it as unpopular as it was at first? |
| 48138 | Is it not I, who, in the character of your physician, have saved you from the palsy, dropsy, and apoplexy? |
| 48138 | Is it right to encourage this monstrous deficiency of natural affection? |
| 48138 | Is not the parliament? |
| 48138 | Is not the whole province one body, united by living under the same laws, and enjoying the same privileges? |
| 48138 | Is our tranquillity more perfect now, than it was between the first riot and the second, or between the second and the third? |
| 48138 | Is there then the least hope remaining, that from that quarter any thing should arise for our security? |
| 48138 | It is true, that in some of the states there are parties and discords; but let us look back, and ask if we were ever without them? |
| 48138 | Must not the regret of our parents be excessive, at having placed so great a difference between sisters, who are so perfectly equal? |
| 48138 | Of what kinds of people are the members; landholders or traders? |
| 48138 | On whom may we fix our eyes with the least expectation, that they will do any thing for our security? |
| 48138 | Or can they be_ deprived_ of their charter rights without their consent?" |
| 48138 | Or, since they_ were not_ left there, why was the American dispute begun? |
| 48138 | Probably; but is there any case in any government where it is not possible to_ endeavour_ such a discovery? |
| 48138 | Shall we fight to defend Quakers? |
| 48138 | She may doubtless destroy them all; but if she wishes to recover our commerce, are these the probable means? |
| 48138 | Suppose either Indian or trader is dissatisfied with the tariff, and refuses barter on those terms, are the refusers to be compelled? |
| 48138 | That, at his honour''s instance, they prepared and passed in a few hours a bill for extending hither the act of parliament for dispersing rioters? |
| 48138 | The hasty gentleman, whose blood runs high, Who picks a quarrel, if you step awry, Who ca n''t a jest, or hint, or look endure: What''s he? |
| 48138 | The power of_ appointing public officers_ by the representatives of the people, which he so much extols, where is it now? |
| 48138 | Vos cunctamini etiam nunc,& dubitatis quid faciatis? |
| 48138 | Was it not worthy of his care, that the world should say he was an honest and a good man? |
| 48138 | Was it with an intent to reproach me thus publicly for accepting it? |
| 48138 | We all know how they were supported; but have they been_ fully_ supported? |
| 48138 | We can not all fly with our families; and if we could, how shall we subsist? |
| 48138 | We could not all conveniently start together: and why should you and I be grieved at this, since we are soon to follow, and know where to find him? |
| 48138 | Wedderburn._ The address mentions certain papers: I could wish to be informed what are those papers? |
| 48138 | Well, Hans, says I, I hope you have agreed to give more than four shillings a pound? |
| 48138 | What are our poets, take them as they fall, Good, bad, rich, poor, much read, not read at all? |
| 48138 | What could they desire more? |
| 48138 | What do they do there?" |
| 48138 | What do they spend it in when they are here, but the produce and manufactures of this country;--and would they not do the same if they were at home? |
| 48138 | What have I done to merit these cruel sufferings? |
| 48138 | What is your opinion they would do? |
| 48138 | What makest thou in this place? |
| 48138 | What other moves can I make to support it, and to defend myself from his attacks?" |
| 48138 | What then could their lordships mean by the proposed amendment? |
| 48138 | What use can my adversary make of it to annoy me? |
| 48138 | What would you advise us to?'' |
| 48138 | What? |
| 48138 | When wilt thou be esteemed, regarded, and beloved like Cato? |
| 48138 | When wilt thou, among thy creatures, meet with that unfeigned respect and warm good- will that all men have for him? |
| 48138 | Where then shall we seek for succour and protection? |
| 48138 | Wherewith, they say, shall we show our loyalty to our gracious king, if our money is to be given by others, without asking our consent? |
| 48138 | While the mornings are long, and you have leisure to go abroad, what do you do? |
| 48138 | Who shall pay that expence? |
| 48138 | Why should it? |
| 48138 | Why then should we grieve, that a new child is born among the immortals, a new member added to their happy society? |
| 48138 | Why then were the French_ not left_ in Canada, at the peace of 1763? |
| 48138 | Why was it so long delayed? |
| 48138 | Why was the bringing and the delivery of such orders so long_ denied_? |
| 48138 | Why was this man received with such concurring respect from every person in the room, even from those, who had never known him or seen him before? |
| 48138 | Why were those healing instructions so long withheld and concealed from the people? |
| 48138 | Will any paper match him? |
| 48138 | Will not the colonies view it in this light? |
| 48138 | Will not the first effect of this be, an enhancing of the price of all foreign goods to the tradesman and farmer, who use or consume them? |
| 48138 | Will not these heavy taxes quite ruin the country? |
| 48138 | Will the people that have begun to manufacture decline it? |
| 48138 | Will the wolves then protect the sheep, if they can but persuade them to give up their dogs? |
| 48138 | Would it not be better, to send the criminals into some civil well settled government or colony for trial, where good juries can be had? |
| 48138 | Would not the profits of the merchant and mariner be rather greater, and some addition made to our navigation, ships and seamen? |
| 48138 | Would this be right, even if the land were gained at the expence of the state? |
| 48138 | Would you have had your representatives give up those points? |
| 48138 | Would you know, how they forward the circulation of your fluids, in the very action of transporting you from place to place? |
| 48138 | Would you wish to see your great and amiable prince act a part that could not become a dey of Algiers? |
| 48138 | You ask, what I mean? |
| 48138 | You saw that we, who understand and practice those rules, believed all your stories, why do you refuse to believe ours?" |

| 48138 | _ Franklin._--How can you so cruelly sport with my torments? |
| 48138 | _ Franklin._--Is it possible? |
| 48138 | _ Franklin._--Not once? |
