34243A perquisite of the office?
34243Charming, is it not?
34243Did you come here simply to admire the view, my lord?
34243Do I understand that you still claim your bonus?
34243I can imagine no more delightful one,he replied;"and where do you ply your daily task, fair mistress?
34243I can well believe that your victims are numerous,he replied;"may I be permitted to rank myself among the latest of them?"
34243Is that you, old Thibault? 34243 Something has vexed you, fair maiden?"
34243What do you think they''ll do to me, Jeanne?
34243Who ever heard of an executioner having a nervous headache? 34243 And now, to return to business for one moment,--would you prefer to give the word yourself? 34243 And yet, methinks, those delicate hands show little trace of labour?
34243And you, Jeanne?"

34243Now, take yourself, for instance, who come here to instruct me: what does_ your_ profession amount to, when all''s said and done?
34243Or will you leave yourself entirely in my hands?"
34243Suppose the criminals said they were out of sorts, and did n''t feel up to being executed?"
34243Why on earth are you so captious about trifles?
32087And ye claim no special circumstances?
32087Are you or are you not going to perform your duty?
32087Do ye remember your instructions?
32087Have ye not been properly instructed?
32087How would you understand them?
32087I suppose so, but is it necessary to waste all this time? 32087 Prithee, Sir Jacques, have ye any message for their Judicial Highnesses?"
32087What do you do, Squire?
32087What have I done?
32087What''s all the excitement about?
32087What''s the rest of it, fool?
32087What''s this nonsense, Sir Jacques?
32087Who is it?
32087Who''s on the docket, anyway?
32087Why do n''t you ask them?
32087Ye admit to the killing, then?
32087But it could n''t be her-- Or could it?
32087But what had she meant?
32087Can that be true?"
32087Could it be that after all...?
32087The Chief Justice coughed the nervousness from his throat, and asked:"Is this the Lady Ann of Coberly?"
32087The squire shuffled up behind him, and begged,"Please, your Lordship, shall we not don these garments now?"
32087Was this woman going to win a reversal, in spite of all her insolence?
32087What did it matter?
32087What did she expect from him?
32087What was she waiting for?
32087When they had left the room, the still frightened squire stuttered:"S- shall we d- dress, Sire?"
51257Been hittin''the bottle again, huh?
51257Do I get that paint or do n''t I? 51257 Does it hurt, Tony?
51257Have you anything to say?
51257How many weeks since you checked the cooler, boy? 51257 Huh?
51257No appeal?
51257There-- there are n''t any?
51257We''re humane nowadays, had n''t you heard? 51257 Well, Radek?"

51257You''re Mr. Radek, are n''t you? 51257 _ Mr._ Radek, there was something?"
51257And, Radek--""Yes, sir?"
51257And, Radek--""Yes, sir?"
51257As he passed under the huge Master Screen, her voice came again, but quite thin:"You''ll let me know, Tony?
51257But the wife, see?
51257Ca n''t you control your own office?
51257Do n''t move?
51257Do n''t you know I''ll always be here?
51257Do n''t you know I''m here?
51257Do n''t you know that, Baby?''
51257Got that?"
51257Haley?"
51257Haley?"
51257He said,"Are you Mrs. John Haley?"
51257He swallowed quickly, said nervously:"Yes, sir?"
51257I mean, if a man is found guilty, do they--?"
51257I mean....""Physically?
51257In the Execution Office?"
51257Is the visi- lok in Executions controlled by a solenoid?
51257It ai n''t, is it?"
51257My God, man, where''s your feelings?
51257Or electrocute him?
51257Or gas him the way they used to back in the old days?
51257Or maybe you''d like to be back in Training?"
51257Radek...?"
51257So what?
51257Was it never changed to relay?"
51257What do you say to a woman like this when you see the terror-- and something else-- in eyes like hers?
51257What do you say to a woman who sits across from you, waiting the long, long wait?
51257What else can a traitor expect?"
51257What happened to him?"
51257What''s the difference?"
51257Why has n''t she been given her bill of divorcement and sent home?
51257Why not hang a man instead?
51257Why?"
51257You''ll let me know as soon as you get word?"
51257_ Damn the dame, why did n''t she go home?_ Tony Radek''s upper lip lifted a little, showing small angry teeth.
51257_ Innocent?
51257_ It ai n''t, hey?
12191Ah, Tiny- chen,she would cry, as she came undulating and cooing in to our Helene,"is it you, dearest?
12191Ah, come in with you, will you?
12191Ah, what is that?
12191Ah, will he?
12191Ah,he said,"why this night?"
12191All dead?
12191And I trust you love to scratch upon the twangling zither as cats sharpen their claws upon the bark of trees? 12191 And after that may I come to you, Hugo?"
12191And am I either?
12191And did he say that you cut well?
12191And have you got it with you? 12191 And how knew you that I was of the ancient guild of the bachelors?"
12191And how,asked I,"may you know all that?"
12191And how,cried the Prince, in his turn,"knew you that I had been wedded once?"
12191And if you had been both?
12191And she revealed it?
12191And this young man?
12191And what do you here, son of the Red Axe, in the place of the Sacred Fehme of the White Wolf?
12191And what is there then for me?
12191And what of the Lady Ysolinde?
12191And what then is the meaning of the black flag?
12191And what, High- Councillor Dessauer, is my blind peril?
12191And what, Lord High Chancellor of Plassenburg, think you of this masquerading? 12191 And what, my lord, has befallen?"
12191And what,asked her father,"have you seen in the crystal, child of my heart?"
12191And where are our rooms to be?
12191And where have you been?
12191And where is the Bishop this afternoon?
12191And who is his successor?
12191And why not?
12191And why?
12191And you, Master Hugo, did you go thither to distinguish yourself by breaking up their child''s folly, or, like the others, to taste the stone ale?
12191And you?
12191And, pray, what do I that is worse?
12191Are they all dead?
12191Are you never weary in this dull tower?
12191Are you not both my friends, and can Otho von Reuss be forgetful of old times? 12191 Aye,"said I,"but how can I tell you the rest?
12191Aye,said the Prince, urging his horse to speed,"but will we ever get there?"
12191Because I bid you teach the parsons their own religion, am I to be made Chancellor of the Mark? 12191 But did you ever hear him rail upon any of these young men that lean on rails and roll their eyes under ladies''windows?"
12191But how will your father do without your company, Lady Ysolinde?
12191But then, did not Dietrich, the anointed Prince, harry you? 12191 But what have we here?"
12191But who would command us and be a gracious and beloved master to us?
12191But with the broadaxe he slashes about him like an angel from heaven-- not so, Boris?
12191But, father,said I,"suppose he asks of me that which might condemn one who has trusted me, what am I to say?"
12191But, little maid, my own Helene,he cried, in a loud, gasping, alarmed tone,"what is this, best beloved?
12191But,I answered,"who am I, that so great a lady should love me?
12191But,said I,"how do I know that he will accept me?
12191By what right do you seek to touch me, sir?
12191Can it be a flag of pestilence?
12191Can you ride?
12191Child of the White Wolf,he said, in a shaking voice,"would you dare all and become one of the companions of the mysteries?"
12191Dear Little Sister, why are you so mindful about Katrin Texel?
12191Did I?
12191Did he wound you, Duke Casimir?
12191Did she go to them of her own free will, or did my father send for her?
12191Did she not go among you from house to house, carrying, not the poison- cup, but the healing draught? 12191 Did she tell you so, Little Sister?"
12191Did some one call me father? 12191 Did you say''Yes, your Highness''?"
12191Did you spoil your dagger on him?
12191Do you know that you and she together came very near losing me my favor with the Duke, and it might be my life also, both at one time to- night?
12191Do you not remember when I had cut the calf''s head off with the axe? 12191 Do you see them, son Hugo?"
12191Done me the honor to be friendly--"To play with your curls, lad?
12191Fair maid,said I,"have you heard the refrain of the song that I love so well?
12191Frederika,he cried, as he entered,"are the lads here yet?"
12191Goes it not something like this?
12191Great God, man, have you nothing to say to me ere you die?
12191Has Hugo Gottfried returned?
12191Hath he overeaten at mid- day refection, and so is not able to sleep, that he can not let honest men enjoy greater peace than himself?
12191Hath she been put to the Question?
12191Have I ever asked fee or reward for aught I have tried to do?
12191Have I not the Duke''s own pass? 12191 Have you at all thought of the land or the lord to whom you would transfer your allegiance?"
12191He looks a stout and be- e- e- fy o- o- old fel- low, this A- a- a- bot of St. Omer, do n''t you think? 12191 Helene is your betrothed wife, is she not?"
12191Here he is,said I;"and now what would you with him?"
12191How about the ancestors, the noble men my predecessors?
12191How can Hugo Gottfried have done this thing?
12191How did you prevail with the maid?
12191How goes it, Helene?
12191How goes it? 12191 How knew you that of me, goodwife?"
12191How long has he known you?
12191How long would you be away?
12191How old is she now?
12191How so?
12191Hugo Gottfried, once you were my friend,she began;"what have I done that you should be my friend no more?
12191I think well,said he, a little doubtfully;"but would it not be better that two should go than that one should adventure alone into the wolf''s den?"
12191I wonder if we shall ever lay any salt on his tail?
12191If there is to be no fighting of seconds, what do you say to old Dessauer? 12191 In Thorn?"
12191In the matter of the Bishop''s interdict, or in other matters, do you mean that you can trust my counsel, Duke Casimir?
12191In whose path, I bid you tell me, and what woman?
12191Is it not so, Jorian?
12191Is it that the plague is in the city?
12191Is she pretty?
12191Is the Prince safe?
12191Is the noble Burgomeister lodging at the White Swan?
12191It was a good horoscope and of a fortunate ending?
12191Jorian, did you hear that? 12191 Jorian,"cried I,"do you hear?
12191Jorian,said I, sharply,"where have you been?"
12191Loves me?
12191Lubber Jan,said Ysolinde,"what do you up there?"
12191Maul, my troth, what sayest thou? 12191 More beautiful than I?"
12191My lord, what do you here? 12191 Not gone alone?"
12191Not wish to be Hereditary Executioner? 12191 Not with Von Reuss?"
12191Now will you fight, or must I strike you with my open hand?
12191Or, I presume, without my permission?
12191Our father dead?
12191Plassenburg, said you, my lady?
12191Poor Dessauer, I wonder what he has gotten? 12191 Prisoner,"said Duke Otho,"have you any to speak for you?
12191Saw you the Lady Helene?
12191See,I said,"do you desire gold, Sir Lubber Fiend?"
12191So, Great Brother,Helene would say,"you think she is pretty, do you?
12191The Prince of Plassenburg has a Princess,I said,"who is often upon her travels?"
12191The Princess''s flittermice?
12191Then the matter of a second,continued the Prince;"he is to fight, of course?"
12191Then, if you met him, did he not make you bow and bend and walk backward?
12191To kiss you, perhaps, at the waygoing?
12191We are free to go?
12191Well, hearty fellows, what reward would you have for your great bravery?
12191Well, to be friendly, and--"To caress your cheek?
12191Well, what may be your will, madam?
12191Well,cried the Prince,"what reward do you desire?"
12191Well,he said, quaintly, like one that has a jest with himself which he will not tell,"have you had enough of marching hand- in- glove with treason?
12191Well,said I, brusquely, for I had no love for the Sir Rusty Respectable,"out with it-- who sends you?"
12191Well,said I, pausing in the caressing of my chin,"what do I worse every day than make love to Katrin Texel?"
12191Well,she answered, somewhat breathlessly,"what if she did?
12191Well?
12191Well?
12191Well?
12191Were you, by any chance, speaking to me?
12191What are courtships on the street to you, Sir Hugo,she returned,"with your''Twinkle- Twankle''singing- women over the way, and-- Lord, how went it?
12191What are they doing to the sweet saint up yonder?
12191What did I tell you about being Field- Marshal?
12191What did you say?
12191What do you know about this black work?
12191What for me?
12191What had Saint Peter to do with it?
12191What has kept you? 12191 What hath gotten into our old man?"
12191What is my fault, dear lass?
12191What is that?
12191What is the Duke Casimir to me that am a Princess? 12191 What is the reason of that turmoil?"
12191What is your will, noble sirs?
12191What is''t, little one? 12191 What know I about you or your master''s horses?"
12191What may that be, High Councillor?
12191What now?
12191What other?
12191What said the Prince to yon, young sir, if I may ask without offence?
12191What think ye, Dessauer?
12191What think you of Plassenburg and the service of Prince Karl?
12191What twice- condemned drunken roysterer may you be, that hath mistaken the prison of Duke Otho for a trull- house? 12191 What was I telling?"
12191What was the quarrel?
12191What would you with the little maid?
12191What, then, do you propose? 12191 What-- of leaden soldiers?"
12191Where are you bound?
12191Where should he be,cried Peter of the Pigs,"but at the trial of the witch- woman in the Hall of Justice?
12191Wherefore do you come here so untimeously, profaning the holy quiet of our minster- close?
12191Which?
12191Who are you, and what do you want?
12191Who but the Hereditary Justicer of the Wolfmark should slay a traitor?
12191Who could be executioner in such a case? 12191 Who dared tell you?"
12191Who is Duke Otho?
12191Who may you be that asks so boldly?
12191Who may you be that has a chain to match mine?
12191Who sends for me?
12191Who should be with me-- except all these?
12191Who slew him?
12191Who?
12191Why do you stand with your match alight?
12191Why should I hide, whoever comes?
12191Why so?
12191Why so?
12191Why, Little Playmate, what ails thee at the maid? 12191 Why, what hath happened to you?"
12191Why,said I, struck to the heart by his words,"what is the matter with the old one?"
12191Will they carry out the terrible sentence?
12191Will you fight, outlander?
12191Will you grant me the first boon I have asked of you since you became Prince and Master to Hugo Gottfried?
12191Will your ladyship deign to choose her chamber? 12191 Would she let poor Jan Lubberchen kiss her hand, think you?"
12191You are alone? 12191 You are men of Plassenburg?"
12191You are men of the country of Plassenburg?
12191You are sure that you do not love that woman, then?
12191You are sure the Duke is not behind you?
12191You are the servant of the strange Doctor?
12191You do me the honor to follow me?
12191You do not love her, you are sure?
12191You do not say''For your sake, Ysolinde''?
12191You have no one with you here, Gottfried Gottfried?
12191You have seen her?
12191You love her, then?
12191You mean Gottfried Gottfried, the Duke''s Justicer?
12191You think her not merely pretty, then, but beautiful?
12191You were present at this child''s play yester- eve in the hostel of the White Swan?
12191Your life is mine, you say,cried she;"aye, and that means what?
12191Your name and business?
12191Your prince, I hear, is a true man, brave, and well- versed in war?
12191''He hath a Princess, and she is oft upon her travels?''
12191Ah, bad one-- cruelest-- as cruel as she is pretty"( appealing to me),"is she not?
12191Ah, would you?"
12191An experiment!--Why should I, Ysolinde of Plassenburg, experiment with you, the son of the Red Axe of the Wolfsberg?"
12191And the Prince answered him as quickly, tapping his brow significantly with his forefinger,"Are not all wives a little touched?
12191And the little maid, do you remember her, Hugo?
12191And then, the little Helene-- what would she make of it?
12191And what, by common consent, has been known in the city concerning this maid?
12191And when as a lad of older years I set out to woo, whither shall I betake me?
12191And worse, let others plunder you?
12191Anything with money at the end of them?
12191Are not you the only son of Gottfried Gottfried, right hand of Duke Casimir, highest in favor with his Grace?
12191Are you wounded?"
12191But I forgot-- what use is it to tell you, that are born of the Mark, and have learned sword- cunning in their schools?"
12191But I saw the Prince--""Which Prince?
12191But I trust that you, dear Katrin, have a greater taste for angelic song?"
12191But perhaps you are his friend?"
12191But this Duke Otho, wherefore has he not been crowned?"
12191But what did or said Von Reuss?"
12191But what is the matter of your duel, and with whom?"
12191But when was a Prince ever wise?"
12191But where was I in my tale?
12191But who shall be able to keep out witchcraft?
12191But who shall curb or halter the tongue of a fool?
12191But, after all, you will not send me forth in anger?"
12191But, then, what would you?
12191CHAPTER IV THE PRINCESS HELENE"What devil''s work is this?"
12191CHAPTER VIII AT THE BAR OF THE WHITE WOLF"Who waits at the bar with you, brother?"
12191Conning madrigals for lovers''lutes, mayhap?
12191Could it be-- Michael Texel?
12191Day and night, whose fingers reverently wrapped up the poor dead bodies of your beloved?
12191Did my father ever see you cut down tall trees?"
12191Did the White Wolf save him?
12191Dignified, is it not?
12191Do not I, Ysolinde of Plassenburg, know the sound of words that have the heart behind them?
12191Do you hear them laughing?
12191Do you remember when you took me up and laid me on your bed, and our father came and looked?
12191Does he dwell near by?
12191Does the Princess know of this?"
12191For do you not see that it alarms the lady and affrights her beast?"
12191For had I not the fairest and the best of them all at home close by me?
12191For how-- how could I tell her?
12191For what door is open to a Gottfried, to him who carries the sign of the Red Axe?"
12191Good, was it not?
12191Has it ever cut anything?
12191Hath God Himself no Justicer, that He should punish me because I have fulfilled my charge?
12191Have I ever advised you wrong?
12191Have her teeth ravened for those that condemned him?
12191Have you ever seen a high tree cut down?"
12191Have you observed those of the Princess?"
12191Having had no mercy on the innocent, how shall you ask God to have mercy on you?"
12191He is a friend of his, a man learned in ecclesiastical affairs, who comes to hold disputations with the Bishop--""Disputations-- what be those?
12191How do you keep it so, and can I help you?"
12191How much of either, think you, have I ever known?
12191How she would teach me-- me, the Red Axe of Thorn-- how to dance that first night, and how totteringly she carried the Red Axe?
12191Hugo, why did you leave me so long?
12191I ask you, are you ready to open?"
12191I cried out again, beginning to weep myself for pity at my thought,"where are you?
12191I cried,"where are you?"
12191I exclaimed,"wherefore do you torment me-- break my heart?"
12191I have been on my knees-- can I believe it?
12191I know it; but what of that, when I love him not?
12191I said to myself, as a thought struck me,"could it possibly be Michael Texel?
12191I said;"have they no other rooms to let anywhere in this hostelry?"
12191I will ask you this, have I been a good soldier and servant to you or not?"
12191In that very tower?
12191Is she not known among them as Saint Helena?"
12191Is she ten, or is she twenty, or is she mid- way betwixt the two?"
12191Is there a man of us that has not been plundered?--a maid that does not go in fear of her honor while Casimir reigns?
12191Must a man be forever at the beck and call of every sleepless sot?
12191Or are yon passing fortunate in your part of the country?
12191Or do you desire to make any answer to the things which have been urged against you?"
12191Or, as it might be:"Are you coming-- are you coming o- o- out to- night?
12191Presently he questioned her directly:"And who may this fair young damsel be, who has done me the honor to journey to my country?"
12191Shall I tell you now why I am not afraid?"
12191Shall this thing be?
12191Shall we maidens petition Duke Casimir to banish the other lads of the town and leave only Hugo Gottfried for all of us?"
12191Shall you and I make a sortie against them, while Boris with that pistol of his keeps the passage from the wicks of the middle door?"
12191She resumed in a softer tone:"What sentence, then, would you desire, thus confessing your guilt?"
12191Should I tell our Karl of this encounter?
12191Sir Gallant, what need you with more?
12191That horrid one there with his head under his arm?
12191The cunning of a weak man?
12191The glance said as clearly as monk''s script:"What shall we answer to this troublesome, inquisitive fellow?"
12191Then, like the breaking up of the Baltic ice in spring, the thought ran through me-- my father and the maid of the Red Tower, what of them?
12191Then, more low, he added,"Not the--?"
12191There is none with you here?"
12191Think you I have never listened to true men?
12191Think you that is pleasant?
12191This thought of yours is but a vision, a delusion-- how can we speak of the thing that is not?"
12191Was he not of the White Wolf?
12191Was it not to kill the Duke Casimir that this draught was compounded?"
12191Was not her hand soft on the brow of the dying, comfortable about the neck of the bereaved?
12191Was she asleep?
12191Was she-- was she dead?
12191Were it not, if possible, better to conceal the cause yet a while that our compact may go on?
12191What am I to you, Princess, more than another?"
12191What do you here?"
12191What does a grizzle- pate with love?"
12191What need to lie to a dying man?
12191What say you to her?"
12191What think you of the counsel, Duke Casimir?"
12191What would come to the State of Plassenburg if it wanted you?"
12191When did you ever find me unkind, unthankful, unfaithful?
12191When went I ever away and left you alone?"
12191Where got you that wisdom?"
12191Where, shall this comedy end?"
12191Wherefore will you not come oftener to our grim abode?"
12191Who is the Little Playmate?"
12191Who knows that look, if not I?
12191Who quieted your babes in her arms, fed thorn, nursed them, healed them, buried them-- wore herself to a shadow for your sakes?"
12191Why should he take so much upon him?"
12191Why were you not here half an hour ago?
12191Why, indeed, should I?
12191Why, you are sewing at a shroud?
12191Will the Prince never set about wiping away the disgrace?"
12191Will you answer for that with your sword, or must I strike you on the face each time I meet you to quicken your sense of honor?"
12191Will you be pleased to abide with us here in the Wolfsberg?
12191Will you help me to release her?
12191Would we not, chickens?"
12191Would you have as many loves as the Grand Turk, and invent new love- makings for each of them?
12191Would you know what happened?
12191You desire to kill me?
12191You love such music,_ dear_ Katrin, do you not?"
12191You will remember and not be bashful when you have something to ask?"
12191_"Hugo Gottfried, have I not saved my soul?
12191art also a theologe, Sir Woodman?"
12191cried the Lady Ysolinde;"what do you here?"
12191cried the Prince, when he saw him;"have you found aught to link the miller of Chemnitz with the Princes of Plassenburg?"
12191he asked, as soon as he had it in hand--"you used no constraint or force, I hope?"
12191he exclaimed--"with the frying- pan?
12191he said;"art at thy prayers, lad?"
12191said I;"what have you been at to find out that?"
11323A writ? 11323 And can you imagine, that the most upright conduct is always superior to the danger of ambiguity?"
11323And do they take off them there things of nights?
11323And do you refuse, sir, to attend to the particulars of the charge I allege?
11323And how dared you read it? 11323 And if he were, what then?
11323And pray, sir, what is your sorrow to me?
11323And pray, sir, who is this Mr. Falkland? 11323 And so the little dear thought itself cunning enough to outwit me, did it?
11323And this is your decision, is it? 11323 And what benefit will result from this conviction?
11323And what signifies being tried, when they do worse than hang a man, and all beforehand? 11323 And you still persist in your hard thoughts of me?"
11323Are you contented to go now?
11323Barnes!--What do you mean? 11323 But how will you help yourself?
11323Can you believe then that ignorance is the only, or the safest, preservative of integrity?
11323Can you stand?
11323Clitus,said I,"was a man of very coarse and provoking manners, was he not?"
11323Did you immediately examine to see that every thing was safe?
11323Did you say nothing to him-- take no notice of the confusion your sudden appearance produced?
11323Died? 11323 Died?"
11323Do not you believe me? 11323 Do you know what it is you have done?
11323Do you know, cousin, I wish I could wake, and find that the last month-- only about a month-- was a dream?
11323Do you think so? 11323 Forgot?
11323Here? 11323 Here?
11323Ho!--Well, sir: and what have you further to offer?
11323How came it? 11323 How came this conversation?"
11323How do you do, my dear?
11323How is it,said Mr. Collins, gravely,"that you have been reduced to this forlorn condition?
11323How long was it before you missed your property?
11323How would a man of true discernment in such a case reply to his brutal assailant? 11323 I say, sir?
11323If she be dead, what is that to me? 11323 In other words, you were his servant?"
11323In that case,retorted the senior magistrate abruptly,"what can you have to disclose?
11323Is this the end of genius, virtue, and excellence? 11323 Is this,"said I,"the fruit of conscious guilt, or of the disgust that a man of honour conceives at guilt undeservedly imputed?"
11323Murderer?--Did I employ knives or pistols? 11323 Nay, I am sure, sir-- you are not in earnest?"
11323Now, have not I done it nicely? 11323 Of what, sir!--Do you threaten me?
11323Oh, ho, you are a gentleman, are you? 11323 Orders?
11323Pooh, what signifies what I am? 11323 Shall I trample upon a man thus dreadfully reduced?
11323That is what you say? 11323 Well, Williams, and could you find no reasons there?"
11323Well, and what then? 11323 Well, my good Thomas,"said I, in a querulous tone, and with a hesitating manner,"am I not a most miserable creature?"
11323Well, sir, what is your reply to this challenge of your servant?
11323Well, sir: I found a letter written by that Hawkins the other day; did not that letter fall into your hands? 11323 Were you so stupid and undistinguishing as not to know that the preservation of your life was the uniform object of my exertions?
11323What circumstances have occurred from that time to the present?
11323What do you mean by that?
11323What is in the wind now? 11323 What is it that you require of me?
11323What justice? 11323 What noise is that?
11323What provocation could induce you to so cruel a treatment?
11323What steps did you take upon this discovery?
11323What the devil can have made you so forward, if you had not some sly purpose to answer, by which I am to be overreached?
11323What, did you use him thus, without so much as being irritated by any resistance on his part?
11323What,replied Mr. Forester,"are the grounds of your suspicion?"
11323Where is my child?
11323Where is the man that has suffered more from the injustice of society than I have done? 11323 Where would you take her?
11323Who are you?
11323Who gave you a right to be my confidant? 11323 Who?
11323Why do you come in here? 11323 Why do you hold me?
11323Why is it that I am compelled to this confidence? 11323 Why not, Thomas?
11323Why should you subject me to an eternal penance? 11323 Why, sir, was not your grandpapa my grandpapa?
11323Why, you would not tear her from her bed? 11323 Why,"upon such occasions I was accustomed to exclaim,"why am I overwhelmed with the load of existence?
11323Will you come with me, and convince your eyes? 11323 Will you hear my justification?
11323Yes, sir, I do.--But, if I did not, pray what witnesses have you of the murder?
11323You began in confidence; why did you not continue in confidence? 11323 You want to leave me, do you?
11323--"How so?"
11323After all, was it not vice in me to desire to involve another man in my sufferings?
11323Am I not compelled to go on in folly, having once begun?"
11323Am I then, thus miserable and ruined, a proper subject upon which for you to exercise your ingenuity, and improve your power of tormenting?
11323Am I to answer for every thing that goes wrong in the world?--What do you come here for?
11323And again, whether, if I had been conscious they would he found among my property, I should myself have indicated the place where I had concealed it?
11323And by whom was she now torn from his indignation?
11323And do you expect that mankind will ever forget, or forgive such a deed?
11323And do you think that you shall wound it?
11323And for what?
11323And how much had he to struggle with in this respect, in the unapprehending obstinacy of some of his Macedonians?"
11323And if by others, why not by me?
11323And is this the way to bring me to your purpose?
11323And so you can scold, can you?
11323And so, do you see?
11323And upon his death- bed too?
11323And were you fool enough to believe that any obstinacy, however determined, could enable you to despise the keen rebuke of justice?
11323And who are you?
11323And yet what was my fault?
11323And yet what was the meaning of all Mr. Falkland''s agonies and terrors?
11323And, if it were, what security had I against the injustice of a man, vigilant, capricious, and criminal?
11323And, in a concern that is so completely my own, shall my will go for nothing?
11323And, when I had done all, what had I done?
11323Answer me, Gines, were you the cause of this young man being left naked and wounded this bitter morning upon the forest?"
11323Are learning, sensibility, and taste, no securities to exempt their possessor from this vulgar abuse?
11323Are my passions to be wound and unwound by an insolent domestic?
11323Are not you always hankering after the men?
11323Are not you continually singing the praises of Falkland?
11323Are not you in love with Falkland?
11323Are you clear that this haste will not mar, instead of make an understanding?"
11323Are you in distress?
11323Are you in want?
11323Are you inaccessible to remorse?
11323Are you not struck to the heart with the unmerited goodness of your master?
11323Are you of that mind now you have heard them?
11323At length he could deceive himself no longer, and exclaimed with a distracted accent,"And is this all?"
11323At present he appears to be the persecutor, and I the persecuted: is not this difference the mere creature of the imagination?
11323Beside, how narrow would be the use of this science when acquired?
11323But could this circumstance have any reference to me?
11323But do you think it will conduce in any respect to your benefit, to throw out such insolent and intolerable insinuations?"
11323But if I had no fortune, is not that the case with a thousand other folks?
11323But if you are resolute, do you see?
11323But of what use are talents and sentiments in the corrupt wilderness of human society?
11323But ought I not to turn again, when I am trampled upon?
11323But pray, do not you think this great hero was a sort of a madman?
11323But shall I forget what a vast expense was bestowed in erecting the monument of his fame?
11323But surely you owe me justice?"
11323But to what purpose appeal to probabilities and conjecture, in the face of incontestable facts?
11323But was it for me to force this conduct upon him, if, now in his declining years, his own fortitude shrank from it?
11323But what signifies prating?
11323But why do I call the point at which I was now arrived at a resting- place?
11323But you are for a trial of skill?
11323But you do not infer from thence that these people are to do as they please, and never meet with their deserts?"
11323But, if a fair fame were of the most inexpressible value, is this the method which common sense would prescribe to retrieve it?
11323Can I not draw amusement from the stores of my own mind?
11323Can not you read?"
11323Can that circumstance dishonour me?
11323Can you be contented to purchase them at the price of treachery-- of violating the laws of hospitality?"
11323Can you bring her back to life, as you have driven her out of it?
11323Can you have no anxiety for my justification, whatever may be the unfavourable impression you may have received against me?"
11323Can you hear her name, and not sink into the earth?
11323Can you recollect her virtues, her innocence, her spotless manners, her unresentful temper, and not run distracted with remorse?
11323Can you retire into solitude, and not see her pale and patient ghost rising to reproach you?
11323Can you think of condemning a man when you have heard only one side of his story?"
11323Clare, why could not I have died in your stead?
11323Could I discourage a frankness so perfectly in consonance with my wishes, and receive in an ungracious way a kindness that stole away my heart?
11323Could I ever inflict upon you such injuries as you have made me suffer?
11323Could I, by any refinement of reason, convert this dreadful series into sport?
11323Could a real criminal have shown himself so unabashed, composed, and firm as I have now done?
11323Could an amusement of this sort be dangerous?
11323Could he be following her?
11323Could no human ingenuity and exertion effect them?
11323Could there be any peril in the short interval that was to elapse, before the vessel was to weigh anchor and quit the English shore?
11323Could you mistake the bigoted and obstinate conduct of Forester, in offering a hundred guineas for your apprehension, for mine?
11323Did I ever prove myself unworthy of your confidence?
11323Did I give her poison?
11323Did I then mention a syllable of the murder, the secret of which was in my possession?
11323Did all these persecutions persuade me to put an end to my silence?
11323Did his power reach through all space, and his eye penetrate every concealment?
11323Did it really contain such an extent of arguments and application, that nobody but I was discerning enough to see?
11323Did not I endeavour to prevent your being sent thither?
11323Did not I maintain you in prison?
11323Did not he over- run nations that would never have heard of him but for his devastations?
11323Did not you read it?"
11323Did the imbecility of his grey hairs afford no advantage to my terrible adversary in the contest?
11323Did these authors think that, by the coarseness of their ribaldry, they could destroy his well- earned fame?
11323Did this show me a man unworthy to be trusted?
11323Did you believe that we would live in hourly fear of you, tremble at your threats, and compromise, whenever you should so please, with your insolence?
11323Did you ever read, Williams, of a man more gallant, generous, and free?
11323Did you ever see him?"
11323Did you ever see the person before?"
11323Did you never read his history?"
11323Did you never say that, if once I brought on myself the weight of your displeasure, my fall should be irreparable?
11323Did you not add, that my innocence should be of no service to me, and that you laughed at so feeble a defence?
11323Did you think I were such a goose, to take all this trouble merely to gratify your whim?
11323Didst thou believe me impotent, imbecile, and idiot- like, with no understanding to contrive thy ruin, and no energy to perpetrate it?
11323Didst thou imagine that there was no danger in inflicting on me pains however great, miseries however dreadful?
11323Do not you know, you have been voted out?
11323Do you remember his tears, his remorse, his determined abstinence from food, which he could scarcely be persuaded to relinquish?
11323Do you think I could bear to see that?"
11323Do you think I will be an instrument to be played on at your pleasure, till you have extorted all the treasures of my soul?
11323Do you think I will be contradicted and opposed for nothing?
11323Do you think I will let any body else choose a husband for me?
11323Do you think we will be your slaves?
11323Do you think you are out of the reach of my power, because a court of justice has acquitted you?"
11323Do you think you shall watch my privacies with impunity?"
11323Do you think, strumpet; that you shall get the better of me by sheer impudence?
11323Do''ee think ee can creep out at the key- hole, lovey?
11323Does he think I will feel all that I endure for nothing?"
11323Does not your heart tell you that I am innocent?"
11323Had I not sufficiently proved my constancy and fidelity?
11323Had he no fears for his own secret and atrocious offences?
11323Had they stronger motives than I?
11323Have I been nursing a viper in my bosom?
11323Have I ever done any thing to deserve your unkind suspicions?
11323Have I not been employed from my infancy in gratifying an insatiable curiosity?
11323Have not I, thinks I, arms and legs as well as other people?
11323Have you not killed her in the first bloom of her youth?
11323Having recovered himself, he enquired, why then, that being the case, I did not quit his service?
11323Hawkins, I think, is your name?
11323He advanced towards Mr. Tyrrel without a moment''s pause, and in a peremptory voice asked him what he did there?
11323He appeared to muse for a moment upon what I had said, and then asked what reason I could have to complain of Mr. Falkland?
11323He looked at the speaker with a fixed and penetrating glance, and then said,"Nay, Gines, do you know?
11323He said little more to his brother, except asking, as if casually, what sort of an old woman this was?
11323He that lately possessed it has injured me; does that alter its value as a medium of exchange?
11323He went on:"You do so; do you?
11323His sight was already dim; he pulled up his horse till I should overtake him; and then said,"Who are you?
11323How atrociously absurd to suppose any motive capable of inducing such a man to play the part of a lurking assassin?
11323How can it fail to do so?
11323How can she be in Mr. Tyrrel''s debt?
11323How can you ask such a question?
11323How dare you give yourself such unaccountable liberties?"
11323How dare you look down upon your equals?"
11323How do you know?
11323How few persons would he encounter so unjust and injurious as you, if his own conduct were directed by the principles of reason and benevolence?
11323How many hundred thousands of lives did he sacrifice in his career?
11323How must he suppose I came to that place?
11323How shall I describe the feelings of this unfortunate man?
11323How then can we be of a different family?"
11323How unfeeling to oblige him to defend himself from such an imputation?
11323How was a mind, active and indefatigable like mine, to endure this misery?
11323How was it possible for me to be so eager, so obstinate, in a purpose so diabolical?
11323I am no murderer; yet, if I were, what worse could I be fated to suffer?
11323I am not guilty of what is imputed to me?
11323I am unable to cope with you: what then?
11323I am very happy as I am: why should I be married?"
11323I ask him--"Did you never boast to me in private of your power to ruin me?
11323I ask you further,--Did you not receive a letter from me the morning of the day on which I departed, requesting your consent to my departure?
11323I asked Mr. Forester, whether it were probable, if I had stolen these things, that I should not have contrived, at least to remove them along with me?
11323I began:--"Why can not I recall the last four days of my life?
11323I exclaimed within myself,"What scene of death has Roscius now to act?"
11323I exclaimed, in the bitterness of my heart,"Of what value is a fair fame?
11323I might find an individual ready to undertake this office in my behalf; but where should I find the benevolent soul of Mrs. Marney?
11323I tell you she does owe me,--owes me eleven hundred pounds.--The law justifies it.--What do you think laws were made for?
11323I want nothing of you: how dare you refuse me the privilege of a reasonable being, to live unmolested in poverty and innocence?
11323I was not deterred by your menaces--(what could you make me suffer more than I actually suffered?)
11323I was not-- no, it was impossible-- the person who had formerly lived servant with Mr. Falkland, of----?
11323I will speak with a voice more fearful than thunder!--Why should I be supposed to speak from any dishonourable motive?
11323If I could have submitted to it in other respects, what purpose would it answer?
11323If I encountered him, what chance had I of victory?
11323If I had been guilty, should I not have embraced the opportunity?
11323If I had, how could I tell that the second and third judgment would be more favourable than the first?
11323If I were defeated, what was the penalty I had to suffer?
11323If I were your enemy, should not I have reason?
11323If fidelity and honour be banished from thieves, where shall they find refuge upon the face of the earth?
11323If he must in every case be at my mercy, in which mode ought he to have sought his safety, in conciliation, or in inexorable cruelty?
11323If no other person have the courage to set limits to the tyranny of courts of justice, shall not we?
11323Imprudent though I had been, could I voluntarily subject myself to an eternal penance, and estrangement from human society?
11323In fine, for what purpose could a poor beggar, who had never been in Ireland in his life, want to transport himself to that country?
11323In searching me they had found upon me fifteen guineas, how should a poor beggar lad, such as I appeared, come honestly by fifteen guineas?
11323In short, I am determined she shall marry this lad: you do not know any harm of him, do you?
11323In the devil''s name, madam, do you think he would write poetry if he could do any thing better?"
11323In the mean time, what must be my feelings?
11323Is every body incapable of saying what kind of stuff a man is made of?
11323Is he thus blind to the future, thus totally unsuspecting of what is to occur in the next moment of his existence?
11323Is it for you to ask that question?
11323Is it in man to leap from the high- raised precipice, or rush unconcerned into the midst of flames?
11323Is it necessary to give any particular and precise reasons why I should wish to change the place of my residence?
11323Is it not enough that I am pennyless?
11323Is it not freighted with various knowledge?
11323Is it not strange that such a one as I should retain lineaments of a human creature?
11323Is it possible that she should know what has been planned for the few next hours?"
11323Is it possible, if you had been honest, that you would not have acquainted me with your story?
11323Is not my estate my own?
11323Is not that impotence greater than I have yet imagined?
11323Is not the man my tenant?
11323Is that a country of liberty, where thousands languish in dungeons and fetters?
11323Is that a reason you should hinder his preferment?"
11323Is the luminary of the world thus for ever gone?
11323Is there any charge so frivolous, upon which men are not consigned to those detested abodes?
11323Is there any villainy that is not practised by justices and prosecutors?
11323Is this the kindness you professed?
11323Is this the way to obtain the favour of a man of consequence and respectability?
11323Is truth then entitled to adoration for its own sake, and not for the sake of the happiness it is calculated to produce?
11323It is true: my mind, the clearness of my spirit, the firmness of my temper, are beyond his reach; is not my life equally so, if I please?
11323It seems too you know-- accursed remembrance!--that I was accused of this crime?"
11323It was an instantaneous impulse, a short- lived and passing alienation of mind; but what must Mr. Falkland think of that alienation?
11323It was extraordinary: what could be become of her?
11323Let us suppose that Hawkins has behaved unjustifiably, and insulted you: is that an offence that never can be expiated?
11323May I not employ my ingenuity to vex him with difficulties, and laugh at the endless labour to which he will be condemned?"
11323May I not meet hereafter with men ingenuous like him, who shall do me justice, and sympathise with my calamity?
11323Might not I as well desire you to leave the county, as you desire me?
11323Might not Mr. Falkland reduce him to a condition as wretched and low as mine?
11323Might not his integrity be browbeaten and defeated, as mine had been?
11323Mr. Grimes, what do you mean?"
11323Must he perpetually trample upon his betters?
11323Must the father be ruined, and the son hanged, to glut your resentment?"
11323My Christian name?
11323My first sweetheart was Bet Butterfield, but what of that?
11323Of what would you convince me?
11323On the other hand, could I pretend to know what evils might result to him from his declaring himself my advocate?
11323One of the company cried out,"Who goes there?
11323One of the first questions that then occurred was, what shall I do with the knowledge I have been so eager to acquire?
11323Ought I to submit to waste the best years of my life in my present wretched situation?
11323Pretty master''s manners will be contaminated truly?
11323Recollect all that has ever passed under your observation; is it compatible with a mind capable of what is now alleged against me?
11323Shall I point my animosity against one, whom the system of nature has brought down to the grave?
11323Shall I poison, with sounds the most intolerable to his ears, the last moments of a man like Falkland?
11323Shall a rascal that farms his forty acres, pretend to beard the lord of the manor?
11323Shall we, who earn our livelihood by generous daring, be indebted for a penny to the vile artifices of the informer?
11323She recollected that she had always been upon her guard respecting me; but had she been sufficiently so?
11323She started, and cried,"Are we discovered?
11323Should I have dared to ask for what reason I was thus subjected to an eternal penance?"
11323Should I have done that if my flight had been that of a thief?
11323Should I wait, and risk the preservation of my liberty upon the issue?
11323So I only asked him what he did that for, and whether he had not more conscience than to spoil people''s crops o''that fashion?
11323So do you hear, sir?
11323Surely he would not refuse me?
11323That Mr. Falkland is a suborner and murderer?"
11323The accused expostulated with their persecutor, and asked him how he could be so barbarous as to persist in frightening a woman?
11323The justice of proclaiming your innocence?
11323The other expressed no marks of resentment, but sullenly answered,"Damn you, why did not you take the edge?
11323The secret struggle of his mind was,"Can this be hypocrisy?
11323Then what would have been the result?
11323There was something in the tone with which this slut uttered her farewell, that suggested the question to Emily,"What does she mean?
11323This story had succeeded with persons already prepossessed in my favour by personal intercourse; but could it succeed with strangers?
11323Though I am a plain, working man, your honour, do you see?
11323To what purpose complain, when his complaints are sure to be received with incredulity?
11323To what purpose serve the restless aspirations of my soul, but to make me, like a frighted bird, beat myself in vain against the enclosure of my cage?
11323To whom shall the unfortunate felon appeal?
11323True; and how many hundreds are there that live from hand to mouth all the days of their life?
11323Upon what pretence did he refuse my deposition?
11323Was I to receive the money which had just been put into my hands?
11323Was I to wait the issue of this my missionary undertaking, or was I to withdraw myself immediately?
11323Was acquittal useless?
11323Was ever mortal so completely the reverse of every thing engrossing and selfish?
11323Was existence more variously endeared to them?
11323Was he like that mysterious being, to protect us from whose fierce revenge mountains and hills, we are told, might fall on us in vain?
11323Was it not dangerous to the whole fraternity if, without the smallest precaution, she should bring the officers of justice in the midst of them?
11323Was it not enough that I was publicly dishonoured?
11323Was it not the inevitable consequence of your own actions?"
11323Was it possible I could have forgotten for a moment the awe- creating manners of Falkland, and the inexorable fury I should awake in his soul?
11323Was it possible that she alluded to that in her parting words?
11323Was it possible that, by any unaccountable accident, they should have got an intimation of my disguise?
11323Was it possible, after all, that Mr. Falkland should be the murderer?
11323Was it wise in him to drive me into extremity and madness?
11323Was not he the common disturber of mankind?
11323Was the world, with all its climates, made in vain for thy helpless unoffending victim?
11323Was there no hope that remained for me?
11323Was there no period, past or in prospect, that could give relief to my sufferings?
11323Was this the life upon which I had entered with such warm and sanguine expectation?
11323Well then, added I, if it be such as would not be admitted at a criminal tribunal, am I sure it is such as I ought to admit?
11323Well, and what did you say to the letter?
11323Well, and what then?
11323Were not those your very words?
11323Were you any way aiding, abetting, or contributing to this murder?"
11323Were you such a fool as to think, because men pay respect to wealth and rank, this would extend to such a deed?
11323What are the material obstacles, that man never subdued?
11323What benefit has ever resulted from my mistaken clemency?
11323What can Mr. Falkland contrive for me worse than the ill opinion and enmity of all mankind?"
11323What chance was there after the purgation I was now suffering, that I should come out acquitted at last?
11323What concern have I with danger and alarm?
11323What could I do?
11323What could I say to such a man as this?
11323What could exceed the horrors of this situation?
11323What do I owe you?
11323What do you mean by that?
11323What do you mean?"
11323What do you tell me of Mr. Falkland?
11323What does this mean?
11323What had I to do with life?
11323What have I done to deserve this treatment?
11323What have I done, that I should deserve to have you for an enemy?"
11323What is it that casts me at such an immense distance below you, as to make every thing that relates to me wholly unworthy of consideration?
11323What is it you know?
11323What is it you mean to do?"
11323What is it you mean?"
11323What is it you propose?
11323What is it you want?
11323What is my offence?"
11323What is the mysterious vengeance that you can yet execute against me?
11323What is the reason, sir, that you seem unthankful and averse to my kindness?
11323What is the undertaking so arduous, that by some has not been accomplished?
11323What is your name-- ha, sirrah?
11323What must he think of this?
11323What must it have been with this complication of ignominy, base, humiliating, and public?
11323What power can cause that man to die, whose whole soul commands him to continue to live?"
11323What power is able to hold in chains a mind ardent and determined?
11323What probability was there that the trial I had endured in the house of Mr. Falkland was not just as fair as any that might be expected to follow?
11323What relief had I from these sensations?
11323What right have you to make a prisoner of me?
11323What should hinder me from taking that of which I was really in want, when, in taking it, I risked no vengeance, and perpetrated no violence?
11323What should make thee inaccessible to my fury?
11323What signifies calling it mine, if I am not to have the direction of it?
11323What sort of a man do you show yourself, you that lay claim to the respect and applause of every one that knows you?"
11323What then can I do?
11323What then?
11323What then?
11323What then?"
11323What though?
11323What use, what advantage, what pleasurable sentiment, could arise from a tame surrender?
11323What was I to do?
11323What was I to infer?
11323What was it she intended?
11323What was my name?
11323What was the nature of this power, from which I was to apprehend so much, yet which seemed to leave me at perfect liberty?
11323What wonder that he took some interest in a mind in a certain degree congenial with his own?
11323What-- dark, mysterious, unfeeling, unrelenting tyrant!--is it come to this?
11323When did I ever contradict it?
11323When did you ever know any body resist my will without being made to repent?
11323When should I derive benefit from these superior advantages, if not at present?"
11323Where did the printer get these stories?
11323Where do you expect to find the hearts of flint that shall sympathise with yours?
11323Where is the equality of that?
11323Where, sir, is that?
11323Which of you is so ignorant as to suppose, that his escape is any confirmation of his guilt?
11323Whither was she gone?
11323Who ever thinks, when he is apprehended for trial, of his innocence or guilt as being at all material to the issue?
11323Who killed her?
11323Who told you that I wished to part with you?
11323Whose orders?
11323Why are all these engines at work to torment me?
11323Why are not you gone?
11323Why bring your messages to me?"
11323Why could not I speak the expostulations of my heart, or propose the compromise I meditated?
11323Why did you not suffer me to depart?
11323Why do I consent to live any longer?
11323Why do I seek to drag on an existence, which, if protracted, must be protracted amidst the lairs of these human tigers?"
11323Why do you trifle with me?
11323Why have we the power of speech, but to communicate our thoughts?
11323Why should I despair?
11323Why should I grieve, for what they bear and are merry?
11323Why should I insist upon such aggravations as hunger, beggary, and external wretchedness?
11323Why should I suffer my mind to be invaded by unavailing regrets?
11323Why should I wait the lingering process of legal despotism, and not dare so much as to die, but when and how its instruments decreed?
11323Why should it be in the power of man to overtake and hold me by violence?
11323Why should not I be as daring as they?
11323Why should we be enemies?
11323Why should we both of us be forced to do what neither of us is inclined to?
11323Why should you consign my youthful hopes to suffering and despair?
11323Why should you refuse a proposition dictated by reason, and an equal regard to the interest of each?"
11323Why then,"exclaimed I, a new train of thought suddenly rushing into my mind,"why should I sustain the contest any longer?
11323Why trouble me with your prophecies and forebodings?"
11323Why was it, that I was once more totally overcome by the imperious carriage of Mr. Falkland, and unable to utter a word?
11323Why were not my sufferings permitted to terminate then, and I allowed to hide my weary head in some obscure yet tranquil retreat?
11323Why, man to man, may I not, by the powers of my mind, attain the ascendancy over him?
11323Why, when I choose to withdraw myself, should I not be capable of eluding the most vigilant search?
11323Why, you ha''n''t been tried, ha''you?"
11323Will it be wise in us to exchange this prospect for the fruits of strife?
11323Will you do that?
11323Will you for so paltry a consideration deliver up the lamb into the jaws of the wolf?
11323With respect to all that was solid, what chance could I find in new exertions of a similar nature?
11323With such a cause then to bear us out, shall we stain it with cruelty, malice, and revenge?
11323With what sensations did I ruminate upon this paper?
11323Would he take upon him to say that he had a right, at his pleasure, to suppress a charge of this complicated nature?
11323Would not a compromise in this situation have been most wise and most secure?
11323Would not this conduct on my part betray a base and abject spirit, that crouched under tyranny, and kissed the hands that were imbrued in my blood?
11323Would she set out upon such an expedition by herself?
11323Would you lay down this rule for yourself, and suffer no other creature to take the benefit of it?
11323Would you strip me naked to the weather in the midst of this depopulated forest?
11323Wretch that you are, will nothing move you?
11323Yet was it likely in that case that he should be able to employ Gines and his associate, who had just been his instruments of violence upon my person?
11323You are bailiffs, are not you?
11323You are not murderers?"
11323You expect every body to turn out of his way, and fetch and carry, just as you please?
11323You have a lease, have you?
11323You have not forgot all the kindness you once had for me?"
11323You knew I was sent to prison, did not you?"
11323You threatened me: did I then betray you?
11323Young as I was, could it be expected that I should play the philosopher, and put a perpetual curb upon my inclinations?
11323Your mother left me a hundred pounds: have you ever offered to make any addition to my fortune?
11323and after this will not you give me a reward?"
11323and from what part of Tipperary are you pleased to come?"
11323and must people in prison be shackled and bound of that fashion?--and where do you lay of nights?"
11323and what may have been the nature of your connection with him?"
11323and whether she often brought him materials of this kind?
11323answered my assailant,"what, I suppose you are as poor as a thief?
11323art thou the offspring, in whom the lineaments of these tyrants are faithfully preserved?
11323can you wish not to hear me?
11323caught with mere outside?
11323choosing the flimsy before the substantial?
11323cried Emily,( this was the appellation she delighted to bestow upon the good housekeeper,)"you can not think so?
11323cried he,"what has brought you here?"
11323did not I hear you speak?"
11323did you think you could do and undo, and change things this way and that, as you pleased?"
11323do you see any of the marks of guilt?
11323exclaimed Emily with surprise;"why should we stop?
11323exclaimed Mrs. Hammond,"what does this mean?
11323have you the heart?
11323have you the impudence to think yourself one of our family?"
11323interrupted I, with a stern voice,"do you betray me into the remorseless fangs of the law, and then talk of my not being hurt?
11323is it come to this?
11323it could not be----?
11323of what age she might be?
11323or had they more numerous methods by which to animate and adorn it?
11323rest you satisfied!--So you want to know by what right you are here, do you?
11323said he, in a voice in which commiseration was sufficiently perceptible,"is this you?"
11323said he, with a tone of the greatest imaginable kindness,"how came you thus?"
11323said he,"do you menace us?
11323said one of the voices;"why should we be murderers?"
11323she exclaimed,"what do you mean to do to me?"
11323that I was deprived, by the pestilential influence of some demon, of the opportunity of avenging my dishonour?
11323the affection that was perpetually in your mouth?
11323was it for this that I took you up, when Mr. Underwood dismissed you for your insolence to him?
11323what do you come here for?"
11323what is man?
11323what light did it throw upon the intentions of my inexorable persecutor?
11323what sort of character is that which must be supported by witnesses?
11323which way can he be gone?"
11323who are you?
11323who brought you up?
11323who had forced the basest and most atrocious falsehoods, and urged them with a seriousness and perseverance which produced universal belief?
11323who is there?
11323who opened the door?"
11323who, an hour before, had vowed against me inexorable enmity, and sworn to entail upon me misery without end?
5121A bill- poster?
5121Alone and so dark?
5121Alone?
5121Am I not right, mother?
5121Am I to have your support?
5121And are fond of him?
5121And how came it on the road alone?
5121And is here?
5121And my boy''s adviser?
5121And she''s in there still?
5121And the coincidence of his presence in the ravine?
5121And this fact, with which I have just acquainted you, has done nothing to alter this opinion?
5121And was n''t it?
5121And were you not prepared?
5121And what did you say?
5121And when you saw me indisposed-- unable, in fact, to greet you-- what did you do then?
5121And would this be so fatal to your peace, judge?
5121And you believe that bosh?
5121And you did n''t follow?
5121And you never heard where Oliver went?
5121And your daughter? 5121 Any memorial of the Etheridge case?"
5121Are we alone?
5121Are you going to show me one such as I have described?
5121Are you there?
5121Are you very unhappy? 5121 Averill?
5121Because her father died the death of a criminal?
5121Because of the picture?
5121Behave yourself and treat the judge like a gentleman or--"Or what?
5121But Oliver?
5121But if John should be proved to have suffered wrongfully? 5121 But not enough for the public?"
5121But what can I do? 5121 But you remember it?"
5121But, madam, what proof-- what reason can you have for an assertion so monstrous?
5121But,objected Deborah,"if you know where to look for him, why take the child?
5121Deborah?
5121Deborah?
5121Did Reuther see him?
5121Did the officer you met on your return from Tempest Lodge follow you to Shelby?
5121Did you see him strike the blow? 5121 Did you see?"
5121Do you ask me?
5121Do you mean that you wish to remain there while I work? 5121 Do you mean those roughnesses?"
5121Do you think you can find her with such insufficient data? 5121 Do you, ma''am?"
5121Does the town know? 5121 Ever since--""And how old is Reuther?"
5121Excuse me, Mrs. Yardley, it may be a matter of no moment, but do you mind telling me where this room is?
5121HATED?
5121Has she a child? 5121 Has she shown the greater weakness yet?"
5121Has there ever been anything in his conversation as you knew it in Detroit to make you hesitate to reply?
5121Hated?
5121Have YOU come upon some clew? 5121 Have they come together?
5121Have they that here?
5121Have we?
5121Have you a magnifying- glass? 5121 Have you any idea who this person is?"
5121Have you found out who she is?
5121Have you the messages with you?
5121He did? 5121 He handled the stick that-- that-""Oliver?"
5121He has received letters then?
5121He has told you so?
5121Her status? 5121 His father?"
5121How do you find? 5121 How far are we now from the Lodge?"
5121How long have you been in Detroit?
5121How soon do you want my decision?
5121How''s that? 5121 I can buy the Claymore Tavern, can I?
5121I?
5121Innocent?
5121Is not that the best which can be given a hard- headed, clear- eyed lawyer like yourself? 5121 Is that true?"
5121Is there any objection,he asked,"to Mrs. Scoville''s remaining present at this interview?"
5121Is this your steady reader?
5121It was in his pocket?
5121Judgment, eh?
5121Letters?
5121Marry her? 5121 Meanwhile you will make an attempt to discover the author of these anonymous attacks?"
5121Mrs. Scoville( not Deborah now) have you any confidence in Oliver''s word?
5121Mrs. Yardley, you''ve seen this woman''s face?
5121Must I speak first?
5121Must you go?
5121No article of immense value such as that rare old bit of real Satsuma in the cabinet over there?
5121No one listening on the line?
5121No suspicion?
5121No; why should I?
5121No; why should I?
5121Nobody around?
5121None from Oliver?
5121Not enough for you, either?
5121Not seen her?
5121Nothing on your mind but housekeeping?
5121O, Judge Ostrander, how can you doubt it?
5121Of course they produced the knife?
5121Of his hate?
5121Oh, what now?
5121Oliver is in Canada?
5121Oliver?
5121Oliver?
5121Oliver?
5121On the evidence you mention?
5121Perhaps I am no stranger to you? 5121 Pretty?"
5121Pride or hope?
5121Remember it?
5121Reuther, have I ever been harsh to you?
5121Reuther? 5121 Reuther?
5121Shall I tell the judge the result of his telegram, or will you?
5121Shall we go back and wait for broad daylight?
5121She has n''t confided in you?
5121She was here, then?--a woman with a little child? 5121 Son?"
5121Stayed where?
5121Stuff, is n''t it?
5121That he expected to marry your daughter? 5121 The same by which Judge Ostrander leaves the house?"
5121The train south?
5121Then Miss Weeks''neighbourliness failed in point? 5121 Then what''s the matter with you?"
5121Then, Mrs. Scoville, may I request you to come in?
5121Then, whose blade left that?
5121Then,said he,"it was your child who visited my house to- day?"
5121They are human, are they not? 5121 Was it a new knife, a whole one, I mean, with all its blades sharp and in good order?"
5121Was the child with you-- at your side I mean, all this time?
5121Was this difference of opinion on the calling he should pursue, the cause of Oliver''s leaving home in the way he did?
5121Were you right? 5121 What are your reasons,"said he,"for the hopes you have just expressed?
5121What did he ask you when he came out here?
5121What do you mean by that, your honour?
5121What do you think of him now?
5121What evidence would satisfy YOU? 5121 What have you there?"
5121What is his name?
5121What letters? 5121 What little matter?"
5121What now?
5121What were the words? 5121 What''s that?"
5121What? 5121 Where is Reuther?"
5121Where was this? 5121 Where''s the young lady?"
5121Where, Reuther? 5121 Which he can get by riding fast?"
5121Who advised you?
5121Who are they?
5121Who has been writing to you? 5121 Who is the woman, Mrs. Yardley?
5121Whose horse is this?
5121Why have you waited till NOW?
5121Why is this man my enemy?
5121Why not have made use of this point before it was too late? 5121 Why there?"
5121Why?
5121Will it avail? 5121 Woman, you are keeping nothing back?"
5121Would you trust him enough to believe that he would tell you the truth if you asked him point- blank whether his hands were clean of crime?
5121Yes, you have found them, have you not, lying about the grounds?
5121Yet they are worn? 5121 You allude to the unexplained separation between himself and father, and not to any failure on his part to sustain the reputation of his family?"
5121You are going to pursue this Jack- o''-Lanthorn?
5121You are going to send for Oliver?
5121You believe one person wrote them?
5121You consider them scandalous?
5121You did n''t bring it?
5121You do n''t have many readers for this volume?
5121You found? 5121 You have a point, then, to make?"
5121You may think you have done so, but what assurance can you have of the fact?
5121You remember the shadow I saw which was not that of John Scoville? 5121 You stop because your judgment tells you that you were on the point of making a fool of yourself?
5121You think so?
5121You think that?
5121You want to know what has happened here? 5121 You will join us soon?"
5121You wish that?
5121You? 5121 You?
5121Yourself, madam?
5121''And what are the places?''
5121*****"You are going to- night?"
5121A bribe from the woman who had entered there?
5121A flash from the spinster''s wary eye, then a burst of courage and the quick retort:"And what explanation does Oliver himself give?
5121A noise?
5121A pause, then the quick question ringing hollow from the darkness,"Why have your doubts returned?
5121A witness of what?
5121A woman dressed in purple, leading a little child without any hat?"
5121After what I have said and reiterated that he is guilty, GUILTY, GUILTY?"
5121Am I not right, madam?"
5121Am I not right?
5121And he?
5121And how did he take that?"
5121And in the months which followed, when as Reuther''s suitor she saw him often and intimately-- how had she regarded him then?
5121And what do you think has given YOU an opportunity to turn on HIM?"
5121And what have they written?"
5121And what of his conduct towards Reuther?
5121And where am I to get that?
5121And you have a daughter, you say?"
5121And, mamma, are you sure that you are quite happy to- day?
5121Answer me then, as one sorrowing mortal replies to another, had n''t you another reason?"
5121Are we followed?"
5121Are you quite sure that she is a stranger to Shelby?
5121Are you ready?
5121Are you satisfied to share this solitude with me?"
5121Are you watching, sir?"
5121As his widow, as the mother of his child, I implore you to tell me why you showed him this leniency?
5121BOOK II THE HOUSE AND THE ROOM XIII A BIT OF STEEL"When are you going to Judge Ostrander''s?"
5121Balked?
5121Better be singed than consumed?
5121Black''s discouraging advice?
5121Black?"
5121Black?"
5121But Oliver, with a fire which nothing could damp, spoke up again:"Gentlemen, will you see my father so degrade himself?
5121But Reuther?
5121But before she could begin her story, he added this searching question:"Was it he who let you in-- you and others-- I think you said others?
5121But had she been really justified in this easy view of things?
5121But how am I to proceed?
5121But how can you do so?
5121But how was she to reach him?
5121But how will that help you?
5121But if not he, who was it?
5121But to what?
5121But was her fault irremediable?
5121But was there no medium course?
5121But what about the bets?"
5121But what action?
5121But what do you want to see them for?
5121But what has that got to do with the point at issue?"
5121But where could I fly?
5121Can I look in her innocent eyes and believe her father to have so forgotten his responsibilities as to overshadow her life with crime?
5121Can he have arrived home already?
5121Can not you guess it, madam?
5121Can one endure a repetition of such horror?
5121Can she stand the excitement-- the physical strain?"
5121Can we find the man who whittled that stick?
5121Chaos confronted me, and in contemplation of it, I fell ill. What saved me?
5121Could it be that she shared the very serious doubts of Deborah''s anonymous correspondent?
5121Could n''t I have three?
5121Could she not learn from some other source where Oliver had been on the night of that old- time murder?
5121Could she remember what?
5121Dare she lift her eye and meet the gaze she felt concentrated upon her?
5121Did I walk?
5121Did he offer any explanation for this lack of-- of sympathy between us?"
5121Did he perceive this or was it the silence which drew his attention to her condition and the evils still threatening him?
5121Did he remember his own rough handling of the sex on the witness stand?
5121Did her face express intellect, persistence and, above all, courage?
5121Did n''t he marvel and call it extraordinary-- the work of the devil?"
5121Did n''t you say she had a child with her, Miss Weeks?"
5121Did the foreman feel the threat lurking in the air about him?
5121Did you know that he was going down street, leaving the way open behind him?
5121Did you mean that, sir?"
5121Did you observe anything marked about it?"
5121Did you see anything else?"
5121Do n''t you find it a little amusing?"
5121Do n''t you say so, fellows?
5121Do the police retain such things?
5121Do they look at all familiar?"
5121Do they often cry like that?"
5121Do you find anything unnatural in a guilty soul bemoaning its loss rather than its sin, in the spot which recalled both to his overburdened spirit?"
5121Do you know what they say about her house?
5121Do you know"--here he leaned forward, and plunged his eye, now burning with many passions, into hers--"who this enemy is?"
5121Do you remember the old tavern on the Rushville road?
5121Do you want one of them to stay inside?
5121Do you wonder that I recoiled, sought to gain time, put off delivering the sentence from day to day?
5121Etheridge?"
5121Etheridge?"
5121Evidently this intrusive little body did not know Bela or his story, or-- Why should interruption come then?
5121Feeling so, shall I remain quiescent and see youth and love slip from you, without any effort on my part to set this matter straight?
5121For the reason I ascribed to Scoville?
5121Guilty or not guilty?"
5121Had I meant it to be such?
5121Had any one spoken?
5121Had he done wrong to let her join him in this strange ride?
5121Had her clear intelligence pierced at last to the core of that mother''s misery?
5121Had it been altogether favourable and such as would be natural in one of his repute?
5121Had n''t I better find out?"
5121Had she found her way out front while they approached from the rear?
5121Had she impressed him?
5121Had she played her part with success?
5121Had she seen what Deborah would have spared her at the cost of her own life?
5121Had that been all her mother heart could ask of a man of his seemingly high instincts?
5121Had the compulsion arisen?
5121Had the separation of years rendered them callous to every mutual impression?
5121Had time stopped here too?
5121Has not my long life of solitude within these walls sufficiently proved this?
5121Has the thing become a scandal-- a byword?
5121Have I counted too much on your good- nature?"
5121Have I not read your mind, madam?"
5121Have I said enough?
5121Have YOU heard something which I have not?"
5121Have any of us ever made the like acknowledgment and then tried to sleep?
5121Have the detectives got him?"
5121Have you a cap like that?"
5121Have you any idea?"
5121Have you understood all this?"
5121He had every wish and had made every preparation to marry my child, when-- Shall I go on?"
5121He knew who you were then?"
5121He was dead, DEAD, DEAD!--And I?
5121How came John Scoville to hang, without a thought being given to the man who hated A. Etheridge like poison?
5121How can I be made sure that they wo n''t yield to the temptation of their position and climb the fences they are detailed to guard?"
5121How could I dream that your nerves could not bear any sudden shock?
5121How could she sit there and read words, with the blood pounding in her veins and her eyes half blind with terror and excitement?
5121How do you feel, my-- my dear?
5121How do you know that the fact you mention was coincident with the crime?
5121How should you know where to look for him?"
5121How singed and how consumed?
5121How soon do you think I can speak to her?"
5121How would these women regard the disorder and the dust?
5121I do n''t suppose that there is really anything behind that door of his which it would alarm any one to see?"
5121I may rely on you?"
5121I see a way--"What change was this to which she had suddenly become witness?
5121I spoke of a miracle-- Will you not listen, judge?
5121I''ll--"Why did his eye wander to the nearest window, and his words trail away into silence?
5121I-- What''s that?"
5121II WAS HE LIVING-- WAS HE DEAD?
5121II WAS HE LIVING?--WAS HE DEAD?
5121III BELA THE REDOUBTABLE IV"AND WHERE WAS I WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED?"
5121IV"AND WHERE WAS I WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED?"
5121If I let him go, would another such chance of delivering his father''s message be given me?
5121If he should be shown to have been innocent?"
5121If one such scrap can be thrown over the fence, why should n''t another be?
5121If she had--""Well, what?"
5121In her anxiety to determine, she hesitatingly remarked:"Not the man who writes those anonymous letters?"
5121In what pit of despair had it finally gone down?
5121Irish or Scotch?"
5121Is he well?
5121Is her reading correct?
5121Is my little one pining too much for the old days?"
5121Is n''t that it?"
5121Is she a mother?"
5121Is she maid, wife or widow?"
5121Is that so?
5121Is that true, or were you merely trying to cheer your mother?"
5121Is the door quite shut?"
5121Is there a train he is anxious to reach?
5121Is there any one with you?"
5121Is there any possibility of my finding it laid away in some drawer at Headquarters or on some dusty shelf?"
5121Is there anything impossible or even improbable about all this?
5121Is there anything you would like?
5121It did not prevent him, however, from asking quite abruptly:"In what shape and by what means did this communication reach you?"
5121May I rely upon the police to do this, beginning to- night at an early hour?
5121Might I not have time for-- for what?
5121Miss Weeks, did you know Algernon Etheridge well enough to tell me if he was as good and irreproachable a man as they all say?"
5121Money?
5121Mr. Black, shall we be going?
5121Mr. Sloan, is there a train?"
5121Mrs. Yardley, will you procure me an immediate interview with this woman?
5121My man, Bela--"Then with his former abruptness:"Have you no idea who this Mrs. Averill is, or why she broke into my house?"
5121No one knew of the quarrel; and if they did, who could be so daring as to associate one of my name with an action so brutal?
5121No other reason, eh?"
5121No, do n''t speak; just ask Mr. Black to return, will you?"
5121Nor was her chin weak; sometimes she had thought it too pronounced for beauty; but what had she to do with beauty now?
5121Of anything which the discovery of these articles might substantiate?
5121Oh, father, will such an angel marry me?"
5121One for each gate and one to patrol the fence separating these grounds from the adjoining lot?"
5121Only, who is to protect me against your men?"
5121Or can it be that you are not yet convinced of our wisdom in ignoring this diabolic attack upon one whose reputation is as dear to us as our own?
5121Or had it another and much simpler explanation?
5121Or if it was he, and some other hand threw his stick across my path, whose was this hand and why have we never heard anything about it?
5121Or why his foolish story of having left his stick behind him at the chestnut?
5121Ostrander?"
5121Perhaps you have come upon the like?"
5121Perhaps you know my name?"
5121Reuther?
5121Sagacious, eh?
5121Scoville?"
5121Scoville?"
5121Shall I call Samuel?"
5121Shall I go?"
5121Shall I make a light?"
5121Shall we go?"
5121She catches one glimpse ahead of her, and sees-- What does she see?
5121She has reached the road debouching towards the bridge-- has crossed it-- is drawing near-- nearer-- when, what is this?
5121She may mean harm; I''ve heard of such things, and are we goin''to see the judge in danger and do nothin''?"
5121She was not as interesting as you had a right to expect from my recommendation?"
5121Should I light the hall gas as I went by?
5121Should it not make her pause?
5121Should she go away, or stop and take one peep just to see that there really was another and similar fence inside of this one?
5121Should she let everything go and let him know her mind, or should she continue to conceal it?
5121Should she tell him?
5121Should-- should we have to keep the gates locked?"
5121So the double fence means nothing?"
5121Sympathy with her, as he would have her believe, or a secret feeling of animosity towards the man he openly professed to admire?
5121THEN WHY SUCH MAGNANIMITY TOWARDS THE MAN WHO STOOD ON TRIAL FOR KILLING HIM?"
5121That last page-- need I say it?"
5121That was about it, was n''t it, sir?"
5121The house was full of young men; how pick out the friend?
5121The judge hesitated, then motioning Black to sit, said abruptly:"What is Andrews''attitude in this matter?"
5121The one great question which had agitated her was this: Should she trust the judge?
5121The sense of some presence near, if not intrusive?
5121The young fellow went off pretty quick, eh?"
5121Then a troubled cry:"Oh, judge, are you here?"
5121Then as his mind regained its full poise,"And how, even if you had the temerity to venture an entrance here, did you manage to pass my gates?
5121Then shortly,"What is his attitude?"
5121Then, a sound like smothered greetings, followed by quickly advancing steps and a voice she knew:"How is my father?
5121They shouted,''Where is Oliver, your guilty son, Oliver?
5121This was shown by his first question:"WHERE IS THE WOMAN?"
5121To go back to their first meeting, what impression had he made upon her then?
5121To the question,''Why these barriers?''
5121VIII WITH HER VEIL LIFTED"MRS.--""You recognise me?"
5121WHAT HAD MADE THE CHANGE?
5121Was he as close- mouthed in speaking of me to her as he was to you?"
5121Was he dead?--stricken by the sight of so many faces in a doorway considered sacred from all intrusion?
5121Was he destined to witness in this solitary meeting a return of the phenomenon which had so startled the intruding populace that morning?
5121Was he gone also?--this man of inalterable habits-- gone before Bela''s return-- a thing he had not been known to do in the last twelve years?
5121Was he living?
5121Was her own uneasiness infectious?
5121Was his father keeping vigil also?
5121Was it a stroke, or just one of his attacks of which all had heard?
5121Was it for her to touch, to rearrange, to render clean and orderly this place of unknown memories?
5121Was it he who unlocked my gates?"
5121Was it mine any longer?
5121Was it natural?
5121Was it the peaked one?--the like of which you have n''t in your marvelous collection?"
5121Was it the police?
5121Was it the woman?
5121Was not the man, who could bring his hand down upon so frail and exquisite a creature as Reuther was in those days, capable of any act of violence?
5121Was she as anxious to see him now as she had been in the early morning?
5121Was she daunted?
5121Was she giving the judge an opportunity to recover from his embarrassment, or was she simply making good her own cause?
5121Was she quite alone in the seemingly quiet street?
5121Was that a sob?
5121Was the alienation between these two so complete as to block out natural sympathy?
5121Was the child determined to share her vigil?
5121Was the judge falling again into unconsciousness?
5121Was the woman gone?
5121Was there any sound in the air at all?
5121Was there collusion between you?"
5121Was this attempt at unconcern, so pitiably transparent to her, made in an endeavour to probe her mind or to deceive his own?
5121Was this last a confession?
5121Was this meant as an innuendo?
5121Was this swelling of her impetuous heart in the midst of such suspense an instinct of thankfulness?
5121Was this the judge speaking?
5121We are followed then?"
5121Were minutes really so long-- the house really so far away?
5121Were the world and its interests at a pause in horror of my deed?
5121Were there any opportune shadows to betray what happened between the instant of-- let us say Oliver''s approach and the fall of my friend?
5121Were they to miss its solution, when only a door lay between it and them-- a door which they might not even have to unlock?
5121What am I to say now to the judge?"
5121What are we to think of that?
5121What are you after?
5121What awaited her?
5121What awaited the judge?
5121What could such treachery mean, and what was her neighbourly duty under circumstances so unparalleled?
5121What could you have found?"
5121What did he put in the balance,--or what have others put in the balance, to send your passionate intentions flying up to the beam?
5121What did she expect to see in it which others had not seen many times?
5121What did she see?
5121What did the men shout?"
5121What did you see then or-- hear?"
5121What do you mean by that?
5121What do you say, Black?"
5121What do you think, Miss Weeks?"
5121What do you want to see that for?
5121What does this man know?
5121What else have you against him?
5121What evidence lies back of these shouts?
5121What had happened?
5121What has made him thus suddenly careless, he who has never been careless before?
5121What help can you get out of that?"
5121What is it?
5121What is it?
5121What is that something?
5121What is there in this to rouse a whole neighbourhood and collect before it a group of eager, anxious, hesitating people?
5121What lay behind this new and penetrating look, this anxious and yet persistent manner?
5121What madness was this?
5121What message did it carry from Deborah''s warm, true heart that its influence should be so miraculous?
5121What might it not tell of a past concerning which she longed to be reassured?
5121What more did I need as proof that it was his shadow I saw?"
5121What right had we to come in here?"
5121What shall we do?
5121What task?"
5121What took you into the ravine that evening, Oliver, and why, having picked up the stick, did you fling it from you and fly back to the highway?
5121What use?
5121What was I to do?
5121What was I?
5121What was at the bottom of Mr. Black''s contradictory assertions?
5121What was coming?
5121What was it?
5121What was its charm?
5121What was its secret?
5121What was lacking in her statement?
5121What was on the paper?
5121What was this goal?
5121What will your mother say?"
5121What witness?
5121What would YOU consider a conclusive proof of guilt?"
5121What?
5121What?"
5121When, Oliver, when?"
5121When-- how-- did you first learn my real reason for sending you from home?
5121Where did you ever get them?"
5121Where is Bela?
5121Where is Oliver?"
5121Where is she now?"
5121Where look for him, then?
5121Where was her courage now?
5121Who spoke?
5121Who?
5121Why are you raking up these bygones which only make the present condition of affairs darker and more hopeless?
5121Why did he go off quite so suddenly?
5121Why did n''t I take advantage of their absorption to fly?
5121Why did you do this?
5121Why do you mention it and-- and his tavern?"
5121Why else should she go into a strange gate just because she saw it open?"
5121Why go yourself?
5121Why have I not thought of this before?
5121Why might it not be so in my case?
5121Why not telegraph to these places?"
5121Why should I?
5121Why should she recoil again at that?
5121Why should she take from that hard- faced lawyer what she had not been willing to take from himself?
5121Why then did she allow them to remain, the one in the closet, the other in the drawer?
5121Why then had she felt it impossible to finish her sentence?
5121Why this instinctive move?
5121Why?
5121Why?
5121Why?
5121Why?
5121Will they let him continue on the bench when his full condition is known?"
5121Will you accept the position, if I add as an inducement my desire to have Reuther also as an inmate of my home?
5121Will you come to the bluff where the ruins are one- half hour before sunset?
5121Will you explain how you came to do this?
5121Will you fill your glass again, sergeant?"
5121Will you hear it, judge?
5121Will you lift your veil, madam?"
5121Will you wait here for just a few minutes?"
5121With what purpose?
5121Wo n''t it help you to know this, Reuther?
5121Would he himself be able to?
5121Would her quest be facilitated or irretrievably hindered by her presence in the judge''s house?
5121Would it lighten again?
5121Would it not be better to give her a rest for to- night, judge?"
5121Would n''t the judge''s objections, in that case, be removed?
5121Would the judge pass this body, or turn away from it towards a door leading front?
5121Would the man still in possession of the paper whose contents had brought about this attack understand these evidences of apprehension?
5121Would the woman come?
5121Would you have me cherish any further illusions after that?"

5121You understand, my dear, and will excuse an old man''s eccentricities?"
