10337Oh, Silvia, are you not wilful and cunning? 10337 What have you done with Mrs. Tebrick, sir?
10337What is now to become of me? 10337 What is this, Silvia?"
10337Where are your children, Silvia?
10337Am I not dreaming?"
10337And had she not always found him a good husband to her?
10337And has he not reason for his pride?
10337And he asked her, were they not married?
10337And then speaking to her in this manner:"Are you not ashamed, Silvia, to be such a madcap, such a wicked hoyden?
10337And where is she now, sir?"
10337Are you a monster in your soul as well as in your body?
10337Are you trying to escape from me?
10337At last however he resolved on it, and all the more as his vixen kept asking him in the gentlest way:"Might she not go out into the garden?"
10337Aye, indeed, what would become of his vixen and her children?
10337But in the middle of the night he woke up with his head very clear, and said to himself in wonder,"Am I not a madman?
10337But then, catching her grave look, he would say:"Do you think I jest on these things, my dear?
10337Can a man have his honour sullied by a beast?
10337Can my dignity allow of my being jealous of a beast?
10337Cork?"
10337Could he still love her after that?
10337Does not this butchery and eating of raw meat and rabbit''s fur disgust you?
10337Firstly he asked himself: Was not his wife unfaithful to him, had she not prostituted herself to a beast?
10337For he asked himself also:"Was he not jealous?"
10337Have you forgotten what it is to be a woman?"
10337He called to her then, saying:"Silvia, Silvia, why do you do this?
10337I love you, Silvia; is it because of that that you want to fly from me to go into the world where you will be in danger of your life always?
10337Is it such torment to be with me?"
10337May she not have thought it easier to change him thus than ever to change herself back into being a woman?
10337So that with his gazing on her and knowing her well, even in such a shape, yet asking himself at every moment:"Can it be she?
10337What do you do there?"
10337What dreadful change is this?"
10337What if they were foxes?
10337When he had forgot the hour for his meal she would come and tug his sleeve and tell him as if she spoke:"Husband, are we to have no luncheon to- day?"
10337When he was outside, however, he asked Mr. Tebrick:"You do n''t have many visitors now, eh?"
10337Where does she live?"
10337Why are you so savage now?
10337he said very quietly,"what is this?
510''"Is there?"
510''"What''ll we have for supper?"
510''And an elderly man, richly clad?''
510''And the mother''s name?''
510''And what did she think of George Wilson''s appearance?''
510''Did you write that letter?''
510''How,''said he at length,''YOU contract to marry Ellen Heathcote?
510''I have the honour to see Mynher Vanderhausen, of Rotterdam?''
510''Is Heathcote mad?''
510''Is he-- is he dead, then?''
510''Is it you, Master Richard?''
510''Is that a man of trust?''
510''Mynher Vanderhausen, from Rotterdam-- is it not so?''
510''Que veut, madame?''
510''What devil can have brought him here?''
510''Who?''
510''Will you excuse me?''
510''You are, then, indifferent, honestly and in sober earnest, indifferent to the girl?''
510''You do not remember me, sir?''
510''You had no interruption from the next room?''
510A thought suddenly struck me-- might it not be possible to escape through the door, which the assassin must open in order to enter the room?
510At length he said:''Are you content?''
510Besides, why should I commit myself?
510Dwyer having exchanged a significant glance with O''Mara, said slightly to Lady Emily:''Will your ladyship excuse me for a moment?
510Had the old man vanished, or was he lurking about the recesses of the lobby for some bad purpose?
510Have I rightly been informed that you have contemptuously rejected the suit and hand of my son Edward?''
510Is that liberal?''
510May I depend upon your HONOUR that no word touching the subject of this interview shall ever escape you?''
510Must I?''
510She is, no doubt, a pretty girl-- a beautiful girl-- but I have not lost my heart to her; and why should I wish her to be in love with me?
510Upon these points you can, of course, satisfy me without difficulty?''
510What can he want of me?
510What do you think of that?
510What had I to do with Schalken, or Schalken with me?
510When she had concluded the recital, she paused for a moment; and I asked again:''Can I aid you in any way-- by advice or otherwise?''
510Will you give me-- do not refuse it-- one little lock of your beautiful hair?''
510have I not a tender chicken to manage?
510not much blood-- eh?''
8395''And I, who was only a shepherd, how could I know? 8395 And I answered:''O Lord of seven skies, whose children are the storms, shall a man forgive a god?''
8395And We play with the Worlds and the Sun and Life and Death until MANA arises to rebuke us, saying:''What do ye playing with Worlds and Suns?'' 8395 For wherefore have the people chosen prophets but that they should speak the hopes of the people, and tell the people that their hopes be true?"
8395Nor let any sacrifice to MANA- YOOD- SUSHAI, for what glory shall he find in sacrifices or altars who hath made the gods themselves? 8395 Or when thou art not living, where art thou?
8395What should the wind care for the hours of calm or thou for death? 8395 When the wind blows not, where, then, is the wind?
8395Will not his life arise again somewhere in all the worlds? 8395 And Mung said:Were the forty million years before thy coming intolerable to thee?"
8395And Mung stepped from behind him, making the sign of Mung, saying:"Knowest thou All Things, then, Alhireth- Hotep?"
8395And down the wind his prayer went calling:"Why do the gods endure, and play their game with men?
8395And the gods said:"What is love?"
8395And the gods said:"What is rich?"
8395And this They will play until MANA arises to rebuke Them, saying:"What do ye playing with Worlds and Suns and Men and Life and Death?"
8395But Mung said:"Shall a man curse a god?"
8395But Mung said:"Shall a man curse a god?"
8395But the gods of Pegana, speaking to the gods, say:"What is it that Dorozhand would fain achieve?"
8395But the other gods said one to another, speaking with their hands:"What is it that Kib has done?"
8395Do bullocks goad one another on whom the same yoke rests?
8395For is it not written, or are you greater than Kib?
8395Hast thou bewailed the aeons that passed without thee, who art so much afraid of the aeons that shall pass?"
8395I was only a shepherd, and how should I have known?
8395Or does he set to end?"
8395Roon saith in a whisper, in a whisper when none heareth, when the sun is low:"What doeth MANA- YOOD- SUSHAI?"
8395Shall I, who am their prophet, tell the people this?
8395Shall he not again behold the gardens of his youth?
8395Shall not I say:"Upon The Morrow the gods shall speak with thee as thou restest upon Pegana?"
8395Shalt thou be angry while they stand so serene?
8395That night Yoharneth- Lahai came to Aradec, and said unto Imbaun:"Wherefore wouldst thou know the secret of the gods that not the gods may tell thee?
8395The King said unto the prophet:"O Prophet of All the gods save One, shall I indeed die?"
8395Then called the High Prophets:"What knowest thou Imbaun?"
8395Then called the High Prophets:"What seest thou, Imbaun?"
8395Then in great fear answered the High Prophet, saying:"What if the gods be angry and whelm Sidith?"
8395Then said Imbaun:"What knoweth the Prophet of the gods?
8395Then said the prophet:"How shall I tell the people that the gods have not spoken and their prophet doth not know?
8395These be the words of the prophet that he wrote in his book:"I said:''Who art thou that bemoans beside the river?''
8395What, then, shall avail the prayers of All the People?
8395Who knows?"
8395Who knows?"
8395Why doth not Skarl forsake his drumming, and MANA cease to rest?"
8395Yet what mercy should the small gods have, who themselves made Death and Pain; or shall they restrain their old hound Time for thee?
8395and the echo of seven deserts answered:"Who knows?
7838And there he grows lean?
7838And why are the people glad that they have gone?
7838And why,I asked,"do you laugh at serious work?"
7838And you?
7838And you?
7838Be dakeon para Thina poluphloisboio Thalassaes,murmured the angel, for they walked by the sea,"and can you destroy that too?"
7838But at this time of year?
7838But they say, do they not?
7838Do you never rest from doing this terrible work?
7838For a bet?
7838Have you not done my work? 7838 Have you not put out the Moon?
7838Have you not slain the Dinatherium?
7838He changes the way he builds his house, does he not?
7838How can you reconcile it with your conscience as a Minister of Grace,I said,"to inflict such a punishment?"
7838How ever do you do it?
7838Is it true that he can not live many centuries?
7838Is it true what they say?
7838Is it usual in June?
7838Is there any change in the way you build your houses?
7838It wo n''t be as bad as the old hell, will it?
7838Might we make so bold, sir,he said,"as the ask the way to Stonehenge?"
7838Sunk at sea?
7838That song new?
7838They say he takes much to cities?
7838What are you up to now?
7838What is it?
7838What is your message?
7838Whatever is the use of it?
7838When have I ever forgotten you?
7838When will the fields come back and the grass for my children?
7838Who are these men?
7838Who are you?
7838Who are you?
7838Who says it?
7838Who told you he will not die?
7838Why do they steal away?
7838Why were you a demagogue?
7838And is not Nineveh gone?
7838And some of them turned to the backers of the Tortoise and said:"What about your beast now?"
7838And"Well, old servant,"he said,"have your masters been kind to you since I made you work for me round Ilion?"
7838But they had the message, and what care the Muses?
7838Did I not throw down Babylon for you?
7838Have you not checked their laughter and their accursed mirth?
7838Have you not put apart the couples that would dance?
7838Have you not worn my livery of black?
7838How should they know?
7838I said:"Who are those?"
7838Was Helen very lovely?
7838When are they weary?
7838When are they weary?
7838When are they weary?
7838When will the Muses rest?
7838When will the Muses rest?
7838When will the Muses rest?
7838Where Tarshish and Tyre?
7838Where is Persepolis that troubled you?
7838he said,"or when forsaken you ever?
7838they asked,"far- travelled wonderful ship?"
8183For at the last, O prophet, what is left? 8183 O King, wouldst thou hear more?"
8183And I said to him:"Wherefore should I not curse Those that have stolen my sacred places in the night, and trodden down the gardens of my childhood?"
8183And Snyrg replied:"Ye, too?"
8183And Yarni Zai called out:"What dost thou, running across my world?"
8183And as a child stares at the bare walls of a narrow hut, so the gods looked all listlessly upon the worlds, saying:"Will no new thing be?"
8183And first they came to an island where were fisher folk; and the folk of the island, running down to the shore cried out to them:"Who be ye?"
8183And have not flowers when spring was over died in the gardens of many children?
8183And if they ask thee''whither bound?''
8183And leaning forward They cried out to the bat as he passed up and down:"Bat that seest all things, where is the golden ball?"
8183And the King answered:"If one sit upon this throne whom men call King Ebalon, who then shall I be?"
8183And the King said,"Is Time then here?"
8183And the King said:"Art thou, too, a prophet?"
8183And the King said:"Is he further than my heralds might travel in the night if they went upon fleet horses?"
8183And the King said:"Knowest_ thou_ aught concerning the journey of the King?"
8183And the King said:"Where lie the days that were and certain hours?"
8183And the King said:"Who art thou that knowest so much and has not told it?"
8183And the King said:"Zornadhu, what of the journey of the King and of the princes and the people that shall meet me?"
8183And the King said:--"Seeing that I am a child again in a valley to the south, how may I say what may be the will of the great King?"
8183And the Lives-- who knoweth the gods of Old or what Their will shall be?
8183And the gods said:"Dreamed we of one Althazar?"
8183And the gods said:"Sardathrion?
8183And the oldest of the gods said:"Sardathrion, Sardathrion, and is Sardathrion gone?"
8183And the people coming to worship said:"Whose was this robe and to what purpose is this crown?"
8183And the people of the City by the River, seeing him far off, cried out:"Hast thou found the Secret of the gods?"
8183And the prophet answered:"Have not tears enough burst in the night time out of sleeping cities?
8183And who amid the dusty heap of the forgotten days shall grovel to find thy yesterday?"
8183At last They mocked no more at life and laughed at death no more, and cried aloud in Pegana:"Will no new thing be?
8183But the poet said:"Canst thou be angry with these beautiful white bones?"
8183Have not the sorrows of 10,000 homes sent streams into this river when twilight fell and it was still and there was none to hear?
8183Have there not been conquests and bitter defeats?
8183Have there not been hopes, and were they all fulfilled?
8183It chanced, or was ordained( who knoweth which?)
8183Or thou shalt hail them saying:''From what port?''
8183Sardathrion, the marble city?
8183Shall we now seek these gods?"
8183Then answered Snyrg:"Ye also, have ye a god?"
8183Then said King Ebalon:"If this hard tale be true, how shall I find the beggar that I must follow when I come again to the earth?"
8183Then said the Yozis:"Hath Agrodaun answered prayer?"
8183Then said the Yozis:"Of what avails it that we be gods if no one worship us nor give us sacrifice?"
8183Then said the gods:"Spake we of Althazar, a King?"
8183Then spake Snyrg to them:"Have ye, too, a god?"
8183Then( who knoweth when?
8183There thou shalt hear a voice cry feebly:"Inyani, Inyani, lord of the thunder, where art thou, for I can not see?"
8183Thou, the slave of the gods?"
8183Thou, thou hast overthrown it?
8183To whom then dost thou speak by strange signs at evening above the world?"
8183What careth Yahn?
8183What is this new cry that the gods have never commanded, yet which comes to the ears of the gods?"

509''You have not got a second coat on?''
509-----?''
509After a few moments Sir Robert said:''Ca n''t you send him away?
509At length he said, slowly and painfully, as if he dreaded the answer:''In God''s name, what are you?''
509Can we wonder, then, at the immense popularity with which Samuel Lover recited it in the United States?
509He made a violent but fruitless effort to rise, and after a slight pause continued, with deep and urgent solemnity:''Doctor, how long shall I live?
509I ca n''t endure this silence another week; What shall I do in order to make you speak?
509I leave it to you, Which am I to do?
509I turned to the captain, and said:''Surely, sir, there is some mistake in all this?''
509I''ll ever rest your debtor If you''ll answer my first letter; Or must, alas, eternity Witness your taciturnity?
509Is there a hope for him?
509M''Donough, is your principal ready?''
509May I request your answer?''
509O''Connor, if, indeed, it be a fair question, whether this Fitzgerald at any time attempted to engage you in anything like gaming?''
509Or say, I pray, Would a lay Like Gay Be more in your way?
509Purcell, do you remember his features well?
509Purcell,''he continued,''will you have the kindness to accompany me?''
509Shall I give you a trope In the manner of Pope, Or hammer my brains like an old smith To get out something like Goldsmith?
509Shall I?''
509Was the dream verified?--whither had the disembodied spirit sped?--who can say?
509What age, or what country of the world, has not and acknowledged the mystery of their origin and end?
509What do you think of that?
509Who could tell of the rejoicings that marked the evening of his return?
509Who has not felt all this at one time or other?
509Who has not mournfully felt it?
509Why does he come so soon?
509Why should I bid thee strike thy harp once more?
509Will you be so obliging as to toss up a crown- piece, while I call?''
509and upon what grounds, if you please?''
509are you gone from me?
509did not I tell you his name?''
509is it gone out of my power?
509must I go back to the place?''
509or, is my soul pledged and promised away for ever?
509says the sperit( fairly gettin''red in the face with the madness),"Rest my honour?"
509shouted Fitzgerald;''and what d-- d presumption prompts you to DARE to wag your tongue here?''
509whither has the tide of civilisation borne us?
509whither have we drifted?
509who can describe the inveterate tenacity with which a drunkard''s habits cling to him through life?
509who could describe that embrace, or the enthusiasm with which it was witnessed?
511''"An''why so?"
511''"Bad luck to ye,"says he,"my bones is bruck wid yer thricks; what the divil are ye doin''wid me?"
511''"Becase what?"
511''"Did ye hear anything quare, Thady?"

511''An''what''s gone wrong wid ye?''
511''An''where''ll I go, thin?''
511''An''who are ye,''says he,''in the name iv of all the holy saints?''
511''An''who would you advise?''
511''An''why would not I,''says he,''if they desarve it?''
511''And are you going to swear away my life, you black- perjured murderer?''
511''And if I do this I am to expect a mitigation of my punishment-- is it not so?''
511''And what IS this mitigation to be?
511''And what may your trade be?''
511''And what was that?''
511''Are you afraid of a title?
511''Art thou awake, fellow?''
511''Ay,''said I,''which horse am I to mount?''
511''Did the sperit stop long?''
511''Do n''t you know me?''
511''Do you know, madam, to whom you speak?''
511''Eh, how''s this?''
511''Ha, ha, ha!--do you hear her?''
511''Hardress Fitzgerald,''he began at length,''are you awake?
511''How do you know that she is a Dutch woman?''
511''How long has this lady been here?''
511''How''s this?''
511''I ax,''says he,''who are you?''
511''In the name of the Blessed Vargin,''says she,''what IS it?''
511''Is all right?''
511''Is it a pig,''says he,''or is it a Christian?''
511''Is that a venerable way,''says he,''to approach your clargy?''
511''Is there a magistrate here?''
511''May there not,''said I, hesitating between confusion and real alarm--''is it not possible that some mistake may be at the bottom of all this?''
511''Oh, blur an agers, thin, it''s welcome you are, Micky asthore,''says Jim;''how is all wid the man an''the woman beyant?''
511''Oh,''says she,''is n''t it only three days since I burried the poor man,''says she,''an''is n''t it rather soon to be talkin iv marryin''agin?''
511''That''s purty behavour,''says she;''it''s fine usage you''re givin''me, is n''t it?''
511''To be sure it is, ye spalpeen, you,''says Jim, roarin''out;''what do you want wid me this time a- day?''
511''Well, as soon as the bird was gone, says Jer Garvan says he:''"Do you know what that ould gandher IS, Terence Mooney?"
511''Well, dear, and what frightens you?''
511''Well, well, my dear,''said my mother, impatiently;''do you know who Lord Glenfallen is?''
511''What can have terrified you so?''
511''What do ye mane, you uncivilised bliggard?''
511''What does your ladyship wish to know?''
511''What is the matter, my good friend?''
511''What the divil''s the matther?''
511''What''s that?''
511''Where is it?''
511''Where is the black curtain that fell across the door, when I attempted first to come to my chamber?''
511''Who are you, ye scoundhrel iv the world?''
511''Who are you?''
511''Who is it?''
511''Who''s batin''the door?''
511''Who''s in it?''
511''Whom have you there?''
511''Why do you wear your hair so much over your face, sir?''
511''Why, you bosthoon, you,''says Jim,''wo n''t you let your husband in,''says he,''to his own house?''
511''Will you?''
511''You are not in love?''
511''You have observed, I should suppose, my dearest Fanny-- indeed, you MUST have observed Lord Glenfallen''s marked attentions to you?''
511''You wo n''t take him, then?''
511At the far extremity a sentinel, as we approached, called out,''Who goes there?
511Eh, my lads?
511Have I said enough?''
511Have you often dealt with the military?''
511He said in a kind of whisper:''Hardress Fitzgerald?''
511I arose doggedly, and affecting the awkward movements of one whose hands were bound,''Well,''said I,''what would you of me?
511I shall be your BLUEBEARD-- tush, why do I trifle thus?
511I turned to the men who held me, and one after the other asked them, in their own language,''Why they held me?''
511Is there for thee, my country, a resurrection?''
511May he exhibit the goods he has for sale, an''t please you?''
511On the honour of a soldier, what is it to be?''
511Soolivan?''
511Tell me here, in the presence of God, did Lord Glenfallen marry you-- ACTUALLY MARRY you?
511They then whispered together for a time, and the little man who was their spokesman came over to me and said:''Do you know what we do with spies?
511What do you want of me?''
511What has he done to alarm you?
511What have you brought him here for, sirra?''
511Where is Lord Glenfallen?''
511Where is thy chest, friend?
511Why does the minx dilly- dally so?''
511Why, my dear, what is there wonderful in it?
511You are not fatigued, love, I hope?''
511You''ll let him go free?''
511said I;''what has become of it?''
511says Andy;''what''s your name?''
511says Bonypart,''do you tell me so?''
511says Nell;''what''s all the noise for?''
511says he?
511says she,''the oil, an''the wake, an''the berrin''?''
511says she;''had n''t you everything complate?''
511says the boy that was next to the car, turnin''as white as the top iv a musharoon;"did ye hear anything quare soundin''out iv the hamper?"
511she said;''you wo n''t try him?
40510''Is there?'' 40510 And an elderly man, richly clad?"
40510And are you going to swear away my life, you black- perjured murderer?
40510And pray,added he quickly, while in turn he fixed his eyes upon me,"what did this person say?
40510And what did she think of George Wilson''s appearance?
40510And what may be your father''s name, my poor child?
40510And what_ did_ you see and hear?
40510Are you afraid of a title? 40510 Ay, ay, God help me,"echoed Barton sternly;"but_ will_ He help me?
40510Ay, ay;''resist the devil, and he will flee from thee,''said Barton, in the same tone;"but_ how_ resist him?
40510But where is the good or the harm of seeing him? 40510 But where-- where?
40510But you have seen this person frequently,said the ecclesiastic;"why have you not accosted or secured him?
40510Did you write that letter?
40510Do you know, madam, to whom you speak?
40510For God''s sake, Barton, what is the matter?
40510Ha, ha, ha!--do you hear her?
40510Has anything-- for God''s sake, is anything wrong?
40510He said so, then?
40510How do you know that she is a Dutchwoman?
40510How long has this lady been here?
40510I have the honour to see Mynher Vanderhausen, of Rotterdam?
40510I heard the wind,said Doctor Macklin;"what should I think of it?
40510Is that a man of trust?
40510Is there a magistrate here?
40510Is there any hope?
40510May there not--said I, hesitating between confusion and real alarm,"is it not possible that some mistake may be at the bottom of all this?"
40510My poor fellow, are you ill?
40510Mynher Vanderhausen, from Rotterdam-- is it not so?
40510Pat, darling, where are you going?
40510Que veut, madame?
40510There-- there, will that convince you?
40510Well, dear, and what frightens you?
40510Well, well, my dear,said my mother, impatiently;"do you know who Lord Glenfallen is?"
40510Well, what do you think of_ that_?
40510What can have terrified you so?
40510What did he say? 40510 What does your ladyship wish to know?"
40510What is it?--who-- where is your master?
40510What is the matter, my good friend?
40510What''s that?
40510Where is it?
40510Where is the black curtain that fell across the door, when I attempted first to come to my chamber?
40510Who is it?
40510Who?
40510Whom have you there?
40510Will you excuse me?
40510You are not in love?
40510You had no interruption from the next room?
40510You wo n''t take him, then?
40510You''re not hurt, are you? 40510 _ Him!_--who?--where?--when did you see him?--where is he?"
40510A knife lay upon the table, and the terrible thought, struck me--"Should I kill this sleeping accomplice, and thus secure my retreat?"
40510A thought suddenly struck me-- might it not be possible to escape through the door, which the assassin must open in order to enter the room?
40510After a few moments Sir Robert said,--"Ca n''t you send him away?
40510At last Barton whispered,"You saw it?"
40510At length he said, slowly and painfully, as if he dreaded the answer,--"In God''s name, what are you?"
40510At length he said:"Are you content?"
40510Come, come, shall we go on?"
40510Could we say as much of nine books out of ten?"
40510Do not let it trouble your rest, Captain Barton; for, with a_ good conscience_, what need you fear from the eye of"THE WATCHER?"
40510Had the old man vanished, or was he lurking about the recesses of the lobby for some bad purpose?
40510Have I rightly been informed that you have contemptuously rejected the suit and hand of my son Edward?"
40510How steep these stairs are, are they not?
40510I shall be your_ Bluebeard_--tush, why do I trifle thus?
40510Is that liberal?"
40510May I depend upon your honour that no word touching the subject of this interview shall ever escape you?"
40510May not all kinds of blunders and slips occur in their entries of names, and so forth?"
40510Must I?"
40510Tell me here, in the presence of God, did Lord Glenfallen marry you--_actually marry you_?
40510Upon these points you can, of course, satisfy me without difficulty?"
40510Was it that made_ you_, as well as me, hear, but this moment, those appalling accents of hell?
40510Was the dream verified?--whither had the disembodied spirit sped?
40510Was there a hope for him?
40510What age, or what country of the world, has not felt and acknowledged the mystery of their origin and end?
40510What can I do or say to relieve you?"
40510What can he want of me?
40510What do you think of that?
40510What do you think of that?
40510What had I to do with Schalken, or Schalken with me?
40510What has he done to alarm you?
40510What is it?"
40510What is there remarkable about it?"
40510What was it?"
40510What--_what_ am I to do?
40510What_ can_ I do?"
40510Where is Lord Glenfallen?"
40510Who can tell how meet he may have been in his young days to play the part of the lover or of the hero?
40510Why does he come so soon?
40510Why does the minx dilly- dally so?"
40510Why, my dear, what is there wonderful in it?
40510You are not fatigued, love, I hope?"
40510You''ll let him go free?"
40510do you hear_ that_?"
40510have I not a tender chicken to manage?
40510is it gone out of my power?
40510must I go back to the place?"
40510nor unwell?
40510not much blood-- eh?"
40510or is my soul pledged and promised away for ever?
40510said I;"what has become of it?"
40510said Norcott, greatly surprised;"who cares what the fellow said?
40510she said;"you wo n''t try him?
40510whither has the tide of civilization borne us?
40510whither have we drifted?
40510who can describe the inveterate tenacity with which a drunkard''s habits cling to him through life?
40510who can say that in early life he had been the same harsh, unlicked, and rugged boor that, in his maturer age, he proved?
40510who can say?
40510will He help me?"
16726A church?
16726A type of life?
16726And again, in this life, we have all three been together?
16726And the dark man--?
16726And the friend he--_I_ refused to betray?
16726And the method?
16726And the purpose?
16726And the victim?
16726And then?
16726And what''s this rubbish the brutes have left?
16726And you spoke to the man?
16726And your luggage-- where is that? 16726 And-- to obtain this form or outline?"
16726Bodies,he whispered softly,"actual bodies?"
16726But this sentence?
16726But where''s all the stuff you went away with? 16726 But why did you hide away so long?
16726Can you explain such gibberish?
16726Eh? 16726 Evocation?"
16726For your experiment?
16726He is so clever, is n''t he?
16726I may see them?
16726I went off easily?
16726I? 16726 Is he an actor, a priest of some strange religion, an enquiry agent, or just-- a crank?"
16726It has to do with-- with--?
16726It might take actual shape-- assume a bodily form visible to the eye?
16726It was there-- in the other region?
16726Nothing but this hand- bag?
16726Once roused and made aware?
16726Only this?
16726She saw nothing?
16726She spoke?
16726Some Body of belief, you surely mean?
16726Then you are_ dead_?
16726They exist as Powers-- unmanifested on the earth to- day?
16726To be aware, you mean, is not sufficient?
16726To help me_ now_?
16726To what useful end?
16726Was it, sir? 16726 We are going-- the day after to- morrow-- to spend the night in the Desert; she wondered if, perhaps, you would care to join us?"
16726We are on the earth,was the reply, spoken unnecessarily low since no living thing was within earshot,"we are in physical conditions, are we not?
16726We saw you there-- in the Wadi Hof,put in Vance, suddenly breaking his long silence;"you too sleep out, then?
16726What in the world is up with me?
16726What is it that you know?
16726What were you doing by the fire before you came here?
16726What''s that you''re doing?
16726What''s the matter?
16726Who are you? 16726 Why do I spend my time sight- seeing, instead of going alone into the Desert as before?
16726Why should I need more?
16726Why? 16726 You go at night sometimes into the Desert?"
16726You have no other luggage?
16726You have-- brought them?
16726You made out their shape at all, or outline?
16726You saw them?
16726You think it possible, then, to get into touch with these High Powers you speak of, Powers once manifested in common forms?
16726You will let me know-- their message?
16726A-- compass, did you say?"
16726Again, beneath his breath, Henriot heard himself murmur-- his own voice startled him as he whispered it:"Actual bodily shape and outline?"
16726And at midnight?
16726And what had he to do with them?
16726And who were they-- these two beings, standing on the white floor of sand below him?
16726And why does another man now stand in my place?
16726And, again, hidden swiftly behind it like a movement running below water--"What does he want with it?
16726And-- have you brought nothing home-- no treasures?"
16726Beginning with commonplaces, such as"You like Egypt?
16726But by whom?
16726But how can I help?
16726But how?
16726But shall I, as an outsider, observing with unexcited mind, see anything, know anything, be aware of anything at all, let alone the drawing of it?"
16726But was he really properly awake?
16726But was not something larger, vaster these particles composed now also on the way?
16726But you paint, do n''t you?
16726But, again, why should he?
16726Come in, wo n''t you?
16726Had he so soon forgotten that strange union of form and sound which once was known to the evocative rituals of olden days?
16726How could he express the violent contradiction?
16726How could his mind interpret an experience so long denied that the power of expression, as of comprehension, has ceased to exist?
16726How should the sea take note of rubbish that lies above its tide- line?"
16726How translate this symbolical representation, small detail though it was, of a transcendent worship entombed for most so utterly beyond recovery?
16726I beg your pardon?
16726I surely know you... but I have forgotten...?"
16726I wondered"--he smiled again slightly at the nature of the request--"if-- by any chance-- you had a pocket compass you could lend me?"
16726In his eagerness to hasten disclosure he interrupted--"And there may be types of life that have no corresponding bodily expression at all, then?"
16726Is n''t that the case?"
16726It happened to my niece, did n''t it, John?"
16726It was very near him too--"I beg your pardon, but have you, by any chance, such a thing as a compass you could lend me?"
16726It went on for hours, while she lay terrified in bed--""Frightened, you say?"
16726Jones?"
16726Long watching and preparation on both sides had cleared the way for the ripening of acquaintance into confidence-- how long he dimly wondered?
16726Looking back, he has often asked himself,"How in the world can I accept it?"
16726On the skating- rink each Sunday the tourists regarded the natives as intruders; in the church the peasants plainly questioned:"Why do you come?
16726Our conventional notion of a body-- what is it?
16726Some kind of soul, alien to humanity, or to-- to any forms of living thing in the world to- day?"
16726Tell me what you propose-- your plan?"
16726The voice, the eyes, the near presence-- what did they bring that set his nerves thus asking unusual questions?
16726This idea of mischief, almost of danger, in their purposes was oddly insistent; for what could possibly convey it?
16726This strange impression that something grave was happening, something unearthly-- how was it born exactly?
16726Was it his talent for drawing that they sought to use him for?
16726Was that a sound at the back of the room?
16726Was there not an observatory on the Mokattam Hills, too, where tourists could use the telescopes on privileged days?
16726What d''ye say, eh?"
16726What happened then?
16726What has made me change?"
16726What is the deeper motive he conceals?
16726What is your name?
16726What must I do?"
16726What was it, then, that suddenly strengthened this solitary link so that the chain tautened and he felt the pull of it?
16726What was the contrast that made the man seem beside her-- vile?
16726What, then, could be the contents of the little brown parcel the professor had bequeathed to him with his pregnant dying sentences?
16726Whence came this prodigious glad excitement in his heart, this sense of mighty Powers coaxed down to influence the very details of daily life?
16726Whence came, too, the impression that she exercised some strong authority, though never directly exercised, that held him at her mercy?
16726Where had he seen those eyes before?
16726Where is the Body of Worshippers through whom it can manifest?
16726Where should he go?
16726Where, oh where in the echoing Past had he known this woman''s soul?
16726Where?
16726Who told you to--?"
16726Who were they?
16726Why did I see this?
16726Why had Vance put that idea into his mind, this idea of so peculiar danger?
16726Why in the world did he hesitate and shrink?
16726Why not?
16726Why should not a man want a compass?
16726Why was it that the presence of this silent, watching personality in the chair beside him kept caution still alive, with warning close behind?
16726You draw, I mean?"
16726You find here what you expected?"
16726You must have tons of it, I suppose?"
16726You must not be too close--""Why not too close?"
16726he began;"to fix it, rather?"
16726he whispered, looking about him, as though to see who it was had joined them;"you mean a-- soul?
43107And are the pigeons cooing?
43107And how''s Mary?
43107And shall I not see you till then?
43107And then?
43107And what about your basket of cones, then?
43107And when will you come again?
43107And where are you going to live, then?
43107Are they thicker there?
43107Are you intending to explore it and make wonderful discoveries?
43107Are you sorry to go away?
43107Are you sure you never heard of her before?
43107Are you very sorry to say good- bye to them?
43107As large as raindrops?
43107At twelve o''clock,said Michael,"twelve exactly?"
43107But Cinderella_ did_ forget,said Mary, laughing;"at least she only remembered_ just_ in time, did n''t she?"
43107But it does mean,Mary persisted,"it must mean that this is fairy- land?"
43107But still-- even if this is n''t fairy- land, it might be close to it?
43107Can I have passed it?
43107Cooies,she said softly,"dear Cooies, if it is you--_my_ Cooies-- that I heard just now-- do you know that I have come?"
43107Could you not bear to go away yourself-- for a little while?
43107Even in winter?
43107Everywhere about here seems to have to do with the forest, does n''t it?
43107Four_ what_, my dear?
43107Godmother,she said,"may I spend to- morrow afternoon again in the forest?
43107Have you, my dear?
43107How could that be? 43107 How is it you are not lonely then?"
43107How is your basket filled?
43107How were we to know, seeing we are_ not_ nasty tricky fairies, about your relations, unless you explain them?
43107How_ do_ you know?
43107I do n''t suppose you ever have,and Mrs Coo murmured something which sounded like,"How could she?"
43107I suppose you heard the bell quite distinctly?
43107Is anything the matter?
43107Is it always mild and warm in this funny place?
43107Is it since then that the nest has fallen to pieces, do you think, Mr Coo?
43107Is it your afternoon in the forest that you are dreaming of?
43107Is n''t it sweet? 43107 Is n''t she good about everything?"
43107It is lovely,she said,"and wonderful I do n''t think you could get one like it in any shop now, godmother, could you?"
43107It is quite close to the forest, is n''t it?
43107It was n''t only because we had gone away, was it?
43107Levinside is such a pretty place, and Miss Verity''s house has such a pretty name,` Dove''s Nest,''does n''t that tempt you, Mary?
43107Listen,she said,"is it not pretty?"
43107Mary, dear,she said,"can you manage to amuse yourself again to- morrow afternoon?
43107Mary,said Miss Verity, who noticed Mary''s moods more than the little girl knew,"will you gather some fir- cones for me this afternoon?
43107May I come with you when you go to the cottages?
43107May I see the letter again, please, auntie?
43107Michael,repeated Mr Coo,"is he the fat little red- haired boy in sailor suits?
43107Mike,she said, speaking almost in a whisper,"have you settled what you are going to do to- morrow, exactly?"
43107Miss Mary,she went on,"why do you keep this one tiny white feather in your cap?
43107Must you go downstairs at once?
43107Mystery means secrets, does n''t it?
43107No,said Mary,"I do n''t remember_ her_, but she always sends me a present on my birthday, does n''t she?"
43107Not your Queen''s one?
43107Now tell me, please, where are all your hundreds of relations to- day? 43107 Now,"they continued,"we can talk comfortably-- do you want to ask us anything?"
43107Of course I can,she replied,"if only-- oh, godmother, do you think I can go to the forest?"
43107Or a fairy one?
43107Perhaps she saw you yourself, and felt sure we had not really left for good?
43107Shall I come too?
43107Shall I keep it in my room, godmother?
43107Supposing,began Mrs Coo,"_ supposing_ we could arrange to spend a day here?"
43107The-- the what- d''ye- call them?
43107Then may I come again very soon, and see all over, and peep into all the little arbours and everything?
43107Then what do you mean?
43107Then, Michael,she went on,"you have n''t told any one about the Cooies, have you?
43107Then, first of all,she said,"where does the light come from?
43107Then,said Miss Verity, with her half comical smile,"supposing we do some lessons?
43107They''s very nice fancies,said Twitter,"Maly tells we lubly faily stolies, dudn''t her, Flitz?"
43107They_ are_ sweet,he said,"are they your own, Molly?
43107Was there any one in the room with you, Miss Mary, my dear, when I went upstairs to fetch you?
43107Well then,she went on,"I beg your pardon for interrupting you-- after I have stuck the grey feather in my cap?"
43107Well, Mike?
43107Well, then, may n''t I think it is?
43107Well, what then?
43107Were some of them about the forest?
43107What a good thing it is that I have got all my Christmas presents finished before this nice frost began, is n''t it?
43107What are you stuffing into your pocket, child?
43107What does she do that for?
43107What is their proper place?
43107What shall I do with the basket?
43107What were they?
43107What would you like to do, then, Moll?
43107What?
43107Where,began Mary,"where shall I sit down?"
43107Whom do you mean by` they''?
43107Whom have you got leave from?
43107Why ca n''t you stay with me now? 43107 Why not?"
43107Wide- awake already, Miss Mary?
43107Would you like me to learn some French by heart to say to you?
43107Would you like to go with me to Metherley-- the place I have to drive to,she said,"or would you rather stay at home and amuse yourself?
43107Would you rather drive or go a walk?
43107You are not cold, dear, at all, are you?
43107You are not cold, dear?
43107You mean that you''ll come then for him to see you? 43107 You saw me,"exclaimed Mary, rather indignantly,"and you did n''t speak to me, or fly up for me to see you?"
43107You say,Mr Coo went on,"that Michael is coming back again soon?"
43107You''ll_ promise_ to settle about it soon, wo n''t you? 43107 _ Mary_?"
43107And sometimes may n''t I go a little walk alone in the forest?"
43107And the light?
43107And two or three pleasant things-- which will you have first?"
43107And you did say I might ask questions?"
43107And you do n''t feel chilly, I hope, Miss?
43107Are n''t you tired and out of breath with flying so far?"
43107Are there many birds in Levin Forest?"
43107But I am not tired now, may n''t I walk on?"
43107But Mike, do tell me-- did you believe me?"
43107But how did you know about it?"
43107But oh, Cooies, what shall we do?
43107But where did the light come from?
43107But why did you go away for so long?
43107But wo n''t it keep?
43107But-- what was that other sound?
43107Did we not tell you, dear Mary, that we should meet again before along?"
43107Did you bring any in with you?"
43107Do n''t be afraid-- the darkness wo n''t hurt you, and after a bit you will get out of it, and then--""Then, what?"
43107Do n''t you see she_ is_ a friend?
43107Do you agree?"
43107Do you know, they made me feel quite giddy?
43107Do you live in that dark place in the forest?
43107Do you think you could do so?
43107Does Michael know that you are here with me?"
43107Have you been wanting to see me for anything special to- day, Mary dear?"
43107How about your feather cloak?"
43107How did you find out I was here?"
43107How_ did_ you do it?"
43107I am so glad you have got off again; but I suppose it is only for two nights?"
43107I mean do you roost there?"
43107I''ll run upstairs now and find the book, and may I choose a fable?"
43107It will be a sort of` How- do- you- do?''"
43107May I have some tea, mother, or is it too late?"
43107My kind old friend is not at all well, not able to leave her room, and rather lonely and dull, and she begged me to go to her if I possibly could?"
43107My own room is over this, the birds and I say` How- do- you- do?''
43107Nothing there seems quite like anywhere else: do n''t you think so, Mary?"
43107Queen White Dove,"and something seemed to come into her mind as she spoke, as if she_ did_ remember-- what was it?
43107Shall I get any more cones?"
43107Shall I get ready for tea now?
43107Shall I go home by the short- cut again?"
43107So"No,"she repeated, more positively,"why do you ask, nurse?"
43107Sometimes I drive them together, and then we do go pretty fast, though Magpie does not look as if that often happened, does she?"
43107There, over at your side, do you see?
43107They seemed to ask,"What is to be done?"
43107Was it_ always_ warm and bright there?
43107Was she dreaming?
43107Was that then what Mary was crying about the day Mr Coo saw her and felt so distressed about her?
43107We''d be frizzled up in a moment, of course, before one could say` tic,''would n''t one?"
43107What are they busy about?"
43107What shall we do?"
43107What sort will it be?"
43107What was the Queen going to do?
43107Where did it come from?
43107Will you spare her to me for a few weeks?
43107Wo n''t you pat them, Mary?
43107Would n''t that be a good plan?"
43107Yes, please come about twelve o''clock, and would you like anything to eat?"
43107You do n''t particularly want me to drive with you, do you?"
43107You have heard of Levin Forest?"
43107_ Could_ it be her own Cooies''voices that Pleasance had heard?
43107asked Mary, rather dolefully,"a whole week?"
43107or have you tamed them?"
43107said her aunt,"for a little change?"
43107she asked herself,"and can I_ possibly_ have missed the feather, or can it have blown away?"
43107she exclaimed joyfully,"and oh, dear Cooies,_ do_ you know what I have got?"
43107she exclaimed,"it is for me-- all for myself, not just a scrap inside auntie''s, and it has come straight from-- from India, is it?"
456''And next?'' 456 ''Next?''
456''No?'' 456 ''What have I to do with these things now?''
456Aluminum?
456And did you dream again?
456And that was the end?
456And then he will be sane?
456And then?
456And then?
456And they carried guns?
456And you are ready to go?
456And you have come into the world?
456Any luggage, sir?
456Anyhow, you will keep the secret? 456 But I should have thought an aeroplane?"
456Cones?
456Did the fellows-- make it disagreeable?
456Did you ever play North- West Passage with me? 456 Did you hear that--"_ Bogota?_ His mind has hardly formed yet.
456Did you not think it would blow up the house? 456 Died?"
456Do you ever dream? 456 Do you mean--?"
456Do_ we_ come in the way? 456 Does he say--?"
456Dreams?
456Eigh?
456Eigh?
456Even now--"The dream is always the same-- do you mean?
456Got it?
456Has no one told you,''In the Country of the Blind the One- Eyed Man is King?''
456Have I not served my Lord?
456Have you been telling Mr. Raut of all these contrasts of flame and shadow you think so splendid?
456He does not suspect?
456How did you get it?
456How many days?
456How much was there of it?
456How?
456I Faraglioni? 456 I beg your pardon?"
456I did n''t show any signs did I in those days of having a secret dream?
456I suppose,said I,"you are out of work just at present?"
456I wonder if you know enough to know what that is?
456If I were to consent to this?
456Is n''t there something called consecutive dreaming-- that goes on night after night?
456Is that sort of thing always dreaming? 456 Left whom?"
456Like what?
456Like--?
456Living in a different time,I said:"do you mean in some different age?"
456Look at that,said Holroyd;"where''s your''eathen idol to match''i m?"
456May I sit up?
456Must you be led like a child? 456 My hat?"
456Nipping your arm off?
456Now,_ what_ affects it?
456Past?
456See?
456Sight?
456Sight?
456Steel?
456Stop a planet in its flight, rob it of its centrifugal force, what then? 456 The garden?"
456The girl?
456The year three thousand, for example?
456This seems bosh to you?
456To open?
456Vestiges of daylight? 456 Was the Lord Dynamo still hungry?
456Well?
456Well?
456Well?
456What are you dewin''with that switch?
456What is a new star to me?
456What is blind?
456What was that about''lived in vain?''
456What was there to do but flight? 456 What were they like?"
456What?
456When?
456Where did you go?
456Where does he come from, brother Pedro?
456Why did you not come when I called you?
456Yes?
456Yes?
456Yes?
456Yes?
456You do n''t find yourself in doubt; did this happen or did it not?
456You mean?
456You mean?
456You wanted to see me?
456You wo n''t think I''m mad?
456Your dreams do n''t mix with your memories?
456_ Now?_he said, faintly.
456_ You_ do not want me,he said,"to lose my gift of sight?"
456''Do n''t you know?
456''If I say good- night to them, and go in,''I asked myself,''what will happen?''
456''Poor little chap,''said he;''and are you lost then?''
456''What has Evesham been saying?''
456''What?''
456After all, I thought, this is life-- love and beauty, desire and delight, are they not worth all those dismal struggles for vague, gigantic ends?
456And I have rejected it, Redmond, and it has gone--""How do you know?"
456And the result of that attraction?
456And the size?
456And then did the pale electric lights near the station cheat the rough planking into a semblance of white?
456And then?
456And then?
456As beautiful as your scales and all this silver vesture of the earth and sky?"
456But all the same, what on earth did Horrocks mean about"white as death"and"red as sin?"
456But did he see like that?
456But did it betray him?
456But what does it matter?
456Can not you hear the path as you walk?"
456Coincidence, perhaps?
456Did he after all know?
456Did he see Holroyd kill himself?
456Did that fatal unfastened door awaken some memory?
456Did the man mean to take the thing coolly?
456Did you ever have Carnaby twist your arm?
456Do you hear?
456Do you remember me as a kid at Saint Athelstan''s?"
456Do you remember?
456Do you think I am coquetting with your people in coming here?''
456Do you think my clothes are beautiful, dear moth?
456Eh?
456Even if Evesham did force the world back to war, what was that to me?
456Even if you died-- even if you died--''"''Yes?''
456Fresh scenes and fresh happenings-- until I came upon the last--""When you died?"
456Had he heard all?
456Had he just been within an ace of being murdered?
456Had they heard aright?
456Have you ever heard of a dream that had a quality like that?"
456He broke out in an argumentative monotone:"But why should it be?
456He hated and resisted these things, but what could he do?
456How can I describe to you the scene we had before us?
456How long had he been in the room?
456I interrupted suddenly:"You have been to Capri, of course?"
456I was a man with the heart of a man, and why should I feel the responsibility of a deity for the way the world might go?
456If there is no refuge, if there is no place of peace, and if all our dreams of quiet places are a folly and a snare, why have we such dreams?
456If, indeed, this battle, this slaughter and stress is life, why have we this craving for pleasure and beauty?
456Is it dreaming?
456Mad?
456Might n''t it be something else?"
456Odd, eh?"
456Odd, is n''t it?
456Or if it was a diamond, how came he by it, and why should he offer it at a hundred pounds?
456Or is it something else?
456She was dressed-- how can I describe it?
456Should he charge them?
456Should he charge them?
456Should he charge them?
456Suppose this slouching, scowling monster_ did_ know anything?
456Then he asked me suddenly if I had heard of a great and avenging declaration that Evesham had made?
456They all sought their own narrow ends, and why should not I-- why should not I also live as a man?
456Was he an ingenious monomaniac, or a fraudulent dealer in pebbles, or has he really made diamonds as he asserted?
456Was he deluding himself with his own fancies, or had Horrocks actually held him back in the way of the train?
456Was it wise to be here?
456Was there, after all, ever any green door in the wall at all?
456Were there other people in the place?"
456What did they call it?"
456What do you want to tell me?''
456What had he heard?
456What had he seen?
456What, he asked himself, had really happened on the line?
456When could the door have opened?
456Where did you get it?"
456Who wants to pat panthers on the way to dinner with pretty women and distinguished men?
456Would he have anything to tell me worth the money, or was he the common incapable-- incapable even of telling his own story?
456You remember?
456You see-- how can I tell you?
456You were n''t there by any chance?
456You''ve never seen it?
456_ No_;_ you_ would not have me do that?"
456what have I done?"
456where are you?"
4282A dead spider, master?
4282A rose tree?
4282And did they not suspect that you were yourself?
4282And he gives you no wages?
4282And how shall I send them to you again?
4282And those that dwelt in the castles, master, before the sword came?
4282And where shall I leave the horses?
4282And where will that bring me?
4282And who is he?
4282And you?
4282And you?
4282Are the wars near?
4282Are you soldiers?
4282But can nothing be done, master?
4282But how shall you come by your castle?
4282But where?
4282But will there be no more fighting?
4282But,said Rodriguez,"how does their lingering harm you?"
4282Can Morano speak Latin?
4282Can Morano talk Latin?
4282Can Morano write?
4282Can you stay there?
4282Did he so?
4282Do you desire such a journey?
4282Does he surrender his castle, master?
4282For which side will you fight, master?
4282Gone?
4282Has the King of Shadow Valley no castle?
4282Have we far to go, master?
4282Have you a gold great piece?
4282Have you any castle for my friend?
4282He gives you no food?
4282How far is it?
4282How far?
4282How know you that he is a magician?
4282How know you that?
4282How shall we disguise ourselves?
4282Indeed?
4282Is he very near the castle?
4282Is his house wonderful?
4282Is it not?
4282Is it so?
4282Is it so?
4282Is that not good for adventure?
4282Is there any house on this road, señor,he said,"in which we could rest the night?"
4282Is this your village?
4282La Garda found you, señor?
4282Let the owner of these have them till his own come back,he said, and added:"How far may I take these?"
4282Like you the looks of it?
4282Long?
4282Master,Morano said plaintively,"shall I see to your comforts, your food, and not to your life?"
4282Master,he said,"do you draw your sword of a night?"
4282Master,said Morano,"shall we have more adventures to- day?"
4282Master,said Morano,"that señor who likes my fat body so ill he would kill me, he...""Well?"
4282Mistaken?
4282My castle, señor?
4282My frying- pan?
4282My mandolin?
4282No castle?
4282Not always?
4282Ride, master?
4282Row, master?
4282Señor,he said,"what is the right price for a bottle of this wine that la Garda drink?"
4282Señor,said his old enemy,"will you tarry with us, in our house a few days, if your journey is not urgent?"
4282Shall I tell him, master?
4282Shall we gag him, master, like the rest?
4282Sixty, master?
4282Surely they will move farther off?
4282The bowman''s badge, is it not?
4282The forest is fair, is it not?
4282The forest, señor; how is it now with the forest? 4282 There, master,"he said,"where our road runs through a wood, will our adventure be there, think you?
4282They would give us horses?
4282They would give us horses?
4282Think you,said Rodriguez,"that for so stout a knave this branch of yours suffices?"
4282Timber, Master?
4282Tomorrow morning, señor?
4282Was there a castle in this place?
4282Well, Morano,he said,"have we come by that castle at last?"
4282Well?
4282What castle?
4282What do you bring us?
4282What do you seek?
4282What forest?
4282What is its name?
4282What news?
4282What shall I do to them, master?
4282What shall we do then?
4282What should a servant do if not work for his master?
4282What village?
4282What?
4282When have I broken my word?
4282When have I broken my word?
4282Where are the wars, master? 4282 Where do you go?"
4282Where is he?
4282Where is your home, señor?
4282Which way?
4282Which were best, think you,said Rodriguez,"if you could have but one, a lofty place or comfort?"
4282Whither?
4282Who are you?
4282Who are you?
4282Who is this professor?
4282Who knows?
4282Who needs go anywhere from Shadow Valley?
4282Who told you that?
4282Who wears it?
4282Whose chair is that?
4282Whose word?
4282Why, Morano?
4282Will you buy horses, master?
4282Would you care, señor, when you are well rested to give the chastisement yourself?
4282Yes, yes, you shall have it,his master said,"but how do these folks hinder you?"
4282Yes?
4282You see nothing strange there, then?
4282You were travelling?
4282You would like another ride?
4282Your name?
4282And as he played and sang with his young soul in the music he fancied( and why not, if they care aught for our souls in Heaven?)
4282And how work for him when dead?
4282And in addition to these ways, one of them may draw a comrade''s sword with his teeth and thus...""Shall I pull out their teeth?"
4282And now, my reader, the situation is this: who am I?
4282And then Serafina said, as he walked all heavy with silence past a curving slope of dimly glowing azaleas,"You like flowers, señor?"
4282And to whom or what would you give it?
4282And what message did Serafina receive from those notes that were strange even to Rodriguez?
4282And what of the days he saw?
4282And what would life be if those that deny song are to be permitted to thrive unmolested by all good men?"
4282But when men need him who knows which shadow is his of all that lie in the forest?"
4282But why?
4282By which road go you?"
4282Could it have been the bell?
4282Did he notice nothing as they rode by that balcony?
4282Did he see them truly?
4282Did they not seem sunnier than they really were?
4282Do the boars still drink at Heather Pool?
4282Do the geese go still to Greatmarsh?
4282Does he deserve your pity on that account?
4282Does my reader think that he then set spurs to his horse, galloping towards that house about whose balcony his dreams flew every night?
4282Does my reader wonder they saw when they had no eyes?
4282Does the hurt pain you, señor?
4282Fear came on Morano at the thought: who had power to speak like this?
4282For how would it be if those that have denied song should win and thrive?
4282Had you been there, my reader, you would have said, any of us had said, Why not choose some other house?
4282Have you ever noticed it, reader?
4282He drank no wine that night with Don Alderon: what need had he of wine?
4282He saw Rodriguez, indeed their eyes met as he dropped through the air, but what could mine host do?
4282How is it with Larios, Raphael, Migada?
4282How shall I tell with words what spirit sang wordless to spirit?
4282How should it have been otherwise?
4282In a weak voice and few words the hurt man thanked him, but the apathetic faces seemed to say What of that?
4282Only why the hell do n''t we get back there again where the Evening Star swings low on the wall of the Mess?
4282Or your envy?
4282Over the door was burned on oak in ungainly great letters--"FERNANDEZ""For whom do you seek, señor?"
4282Some evil spirit has done it, then why not he?
4282The Slave of Orion stood watching in silence too, but who knows if he felt pleasure or any other emotion?
4282The others will win the fight, master, and where will your castle be?"
4282Were they not stranger to her?
4282What am I saying?
4282What did it mean?
4282What had Rodriguez seen?
4282What he meant was,"How can I believe you?"
4282What shall I say of Morano?
4282What ship was it?
4282What sorrows had Rodriguez known in his life that he made so sad a melody?
4282What was he to Serafina?
4282What will the Goddess Clio say, or the well- deserving knight, if I offend History?
4282What will they do?
4282What will you do?"
4282Where are the wars?"
4282Whither bound?
4282Who could say what they were in such a house, where bats and evil spirits sheltered perennially from the brooms of the just?
4282Who shoots woodcock now?"
4282Who was this man who so mysteriously blended with the other unknown things that haunted the gloom of that chamber?
4282Whom, then, would you believe?
4282Why had he fought him at night?
4282Why should he know?
4282Why there?
4282Would Rodriguez really leave them?
4282Would you like a new master, Morano?"
4282[ Footnote: He does n''t, but why should n''t he?]
11521''And listen, M. le Maire,''cried the man;''those bells, will they never be done?
11521''But how no good?''
11521''Did I not tell thee?''
11521''Do I know?''
11521''Do we know that these Messieurs will admit any one?
11521''Do you see anything, Jean Pierre?''
11521''Do you think the good Sisters have it in their power to darken the sky with their incantations?''
11521''Does Madame Dupin,''he said,''require to ask?''
11521''Has he had any refreshment?''
11521''Have you suffered, my poor fellow?''
11521''How can we tell when we may be permitted to return to the town?''
11521''I have no money, M. le Maire, and what could money do here?
11521''I will not ask this again,''she said, bowing her head;''but defy them-- why should you defy them?
11521''I, too, if life went on, might ask, notwithstanding all that has occurred to me, Was it a dream?''
11521''If they were to wander and be lost, if they were to suffer as thou sayest, where would be the harm?
11521''Is he dead?''
11521''Is it M. le Maire?''
11521''Is it a conversion?''
11521''Is it delusion?''
11521''Is there any news?''
11521''Lecamus,''I said, my voice trembling in my throat,''have you been among the dead, and do you live?''
11521''Lecamus,''I said-- I could scarcely put my question into words--''what do you think?
11521''Ma mère,''she said,''where is he now, our Martin?''
11521''Mother,''said Madame Martin,''do you think it is angels with wings like peacocks and jewelled collars that our Father sends to us?
11521''My little Riou,''I said,''do you know that you are a little imbecile with your piety?
11521''My son,''she said, looking upon me with reproving eyes,''what have the good Sisters done to thee?
11521''O God,''I cried,''whom I know not, am not I to Thee as my little Jean is to me, a child and less than a child?
11521''Shall we own that we are in the wrong?
11521''She is romanesque-- she has imagination-- but Madame, Madame has_ bon sens_--who would have believed it of Madame?''
11521''To what good?''
11521''What I did?
11521''What are you gazing at, my friend?''
11521''What good are we looking for?
11521''What have I to do with the community?''
11521''What is it, Jacques, that is said?''
11521''What is it?''
11521''What is this?
11521''What will you do, my child?''
11521''What would you, M. le Maire?''
11521''What''--I said( I tried to say it, but my lips were dry),''What would they have us to know?''
11521''Where are we going?
11521''Where can I go?''
11521''Why does n''t He clear the way for himself?
11521''Would you make me mad in the midst of my trouble?
11521''You do not agree with me?
11521''_ Eh, bien,_ madame,''said the peasant;''and if so, what then?
11521( I said in my heart) abandon thee, my child?
11521A ribbon, a little ring, what nothings are these?
11521After a time, when he stopped, I ventured to ask--''Monsieur Lecamus, is it, indeed, Those----whom we have known, who are in Semur?''
11521And he took a piece of a hundred sous out of his pocket( how had it got there?)
11521And to what then do you bid us submit----?''
11521As I sat with my head in my hands, two talked to each other close by:''Is it true that we have failed?''
11521Besides was it needed, when heart already spoke to heart?
11521But I, who am I, a poor man without credit among my neighbours, a dreamer, one whom many despise, that I should come to their aid?
11521But if I had asked who would have heard me?
11521But if not an imposture, what could it be supposed to be?
11521But is it not they who need most who deserve most?
11521But oh,_ mon ami!_''she said,''what will the world come to if this is what they really believe?''
11521But to give it up to our Lord is not that to sanctify it?
11521But was it not to preserve the children that we were commanded to go to La Clairière?
11521But what of that?
11521But why insist upon these matters of detail to unenlightened men?
11521But yet, when a little time passes, you know?
11521But, then, how account for the precipitate return which they had already noted, the supposed faint, the pallor of my looks?
11521Could not I take you somewhere, where you might be more at your ease?''
11521Could we have done anything, the oppression might have been less terrible-- but what was there that we could do?
11521Did anyone ever see such weather?
11521Do I need to say who it was?
11521Do n''t you others, gentlemen and ladies, do just the same?
11521Do we see anything, you and I?
11521Do you think we have forgotten you?
11521For what did I bring him into the world but for this end?
11521For who could tell if we should ever come back?
11521Have they come for nothing?
11521Have you forgotten your psalm, and how you sustained us at the first?
11521Have you never discovered yet how strong is self- delusion?
11521He who had known how to choose him among all the others, would not He guard him?
11521How can I tell that Jacques is not right after all?
11521How can one go to sleep with all that riot in one''s ears?''
11521How could we force them away while they held to the fancy that those they loved were there?
11521How did they know what they might find in the houses from which they had been shut out?
11521How was it possible that she could go away again, and leave him so feeble, so worn, alone?
11521How was it that you did not hear?
11521How was it, how was it that you did not hear?
11521I cried;''is it for you to promise in the name of the Commune?''
11521I had my duty to do, as he had-- and as he did not flinch, so did not I; otherwise he would have been ashamed of his mother-- and I?
11521I read a few words at a time, as it came and went; and who can describe the chill that ran through my veins as I made it out?
11521I rose up staggering with blindness and woe-- could it be that already, already it was over?
11521I said,''Are we indeed too late?
11521I said,''all this I admire, I adore in thee; but how is it the love of God?--and how shall we be saved by it?
11521I said,''but to what?
11521I will do anything that is reasonable; but of what truth have we here the proof----?''
11521If a messenger is to be sent, let it be some one not so indispensable----''''Why send a messenger?''
11521If it is a question of marriage, you demand what is the_ dot_; if it is a question of office, you ask, Monsieur Untel, is he rich?
11521If we saw heaven opened, could we trust to our vision now?
11521In the cabarets rather than in the churches; and as for the fasts and vigils, who thinks of them?
11521Is it befitting in this presence?''
11521Is it true all that is said about these people, I would say, these Messieurs?
11521It is possible that Bonne Maman was right-- but what then?
11521Jean?''
11521Jean?''
11521Let me rest a little; figure to yourselves, I have known no night of rest, nor eaten a morsel of bread for-- did you say it was but three days?
11521M. le Maire is an excellent man; but what will you?
11521Must we be prepared to give up all if we would be perfected?
11521My devotions of every day I will never, I trust, forsake or forget, and that my Martin was always in my mind is it needful to say?
11521Now that you have seen how successful it has been, will not you tell me in confidence how it is done?''
11521Our good God, who is our father, does He require that one should make profession of faith, that all should be alike?
11521Seeing-- what is seeing?
11521Shall I shrink from my duty wherever it leads me?
11521Sometimes there came to me vaguely a desire to question them, to ask whence they came and what was the secret of their living, and why they were here?
11521That_ sainte femme_ was praying for her husband, who could doubt?
11521The fêtes may indeed be said to be observed, but in what manner?
11521The sight of it made my heart beat; for what could it mean but that some one who was dear to me, some one in whom I took an interest, was there?
11521Then there arose cries from one to another:''Do you forget what was said to us?''
11521Then why not I?
11521They ask,"Do you know now-- do you know now?"
11521They asked no questions, neither did we ask any questions of each other, as,''Where are you going?''
11521They went to the walls in bands, each in their order, and as they came all the others rushed to meet them, to ask,''What news?''
11521This speech, though too long, pleased me, for a man of this species, a revolutionary( are not all visionaries revolutionaries?)
11521To know them so near, those mysterious visitors-- to feel them, to hear them, was not that enough?
11521To my comrades these have been a source of alarm and disquiet, but not to me; is not God in the unseen with all His angels?
11521To what use?
11521To whom else could they turn?
11521Was Semur a city of the saints?
11521Was it a dream?
11521Was not he the representative of the Unseen, the vice- gerent, with power over heaven and hell?
11521What are men made of?
11521What can Messieurs les Morts of Semur want with a poor man of science like me?
11521What could I say?
11521What could we do with them, weeping thus, smiling, holding out their arms to-- we knew not what?
11521What could we do with them?
11521What could we do?
11521What did I see?
11521What do I say?
11521What had their angels said to them?
11521What is speaking or hearing when heart wells into heart?
11521What is there in the world but money to think of?
11521What is this that has been said to them?''
11521What man is there to whom the bells of his village, the_ carillon_ of his city, is not most dear?
11521What mattered Semur to me, if it had cost me my Agnès?
11521What say I?
11521What stranger could know what was in my heart?
11521What was it that followed?
11521What was it to them all that had happened?
11521What was it to them?
11521What was it?
11521What was to become of us?
11521Whether it was human weakness or an invisible barrier, how can I tell?
11521Who but she should have done it, who had helped him to join that company and army of the beloved?
11521Who can tell what is outside?
11521Who could tell what might have happened while we slept?
11521Who else could write what I have to write?
11521Who should it be but Jacques Richard?
11521Why should I have suspected him?
11521Why should I look?
11521Why should it be a matter of wonder that the dead should come back?
11521Why were we all going out of our houses in the wintry dusk to which our July days had turned?
11521Why, then, should the other move us?
11521Will it be believed that after a time this fellow was put faith in as a seer, who had heard and beheld many things of which we were all ignorant?
11521Would I abandon him were he ever so disobedient?
11521Would they harm me that love us?
11521Would you have paused in your labours to tell an idle traveller the meaning of our lives, before the day when you left Semur?
11521You ask of what truth have we the proof here?
11521You saw--_her_?''
11521Your Maire having confided to me his authority-- not without your consent--(this I avow I added with some difficulty, for who cared for their assent?
11521_ Mon Dieu!_ and what then, what should I do then?
11521and how can you speak, how can you parley with those--''and he too, was seized with a shiver--''whom you can not see?''
11521did not I say true?
11521he said;''can not you see it on the great door?''
11521is it for this that they have come?''
11521it is so common for men to be, would have so nobly acknowledged his obligations to the good God when our misfortunes were over?
11521le Maire has seen a----what there is outside?''
11521le Maire has seen-- nothing?''
11521le Maire, is it indeed_ les morts_ that are in Semur?''
11521le Maire,''cried the fellow,''speaks at his ease-- but who will thus risk himself?''
11521mon Dieu!_ have not I drunk of that cup to the dregs?
11521nay, rather abandon life and every consolation; for what is life to me but thee?''
11521one wonders; one asks one''s self, was it a dream?''
11521or how could I think of Lecamus or any other, while she lay between life and death?
11521or shall not even this, not even so much as this be revealed to me?''
11521or,''What is the meaning of a so- early promenade?''
11521said one; and the other answered,''Must not all fail that is not sent of the Father?''
11521they cried;''and, besides, is it likely he will pay any attention to you when he tries to stop even the_ bon Dieu_?''
11521was it possible?
11521was it possible?
11521who attends to those sacred moments of penitence?
11521who called me''_ Ma soeur_''?
11521who could bear it?
11521why are we thus cast forth?
9817Am_ I_ dreaming true? 9817 And is there no punishment or reward?"
9817And now look at that old house over there,pointing to my old home;"how many windows are there in the top story?"
9817And what was this wonderful old lady''s name?
9817And who was this wonderful Duchess of Towers before she married?
9817By- the- way,she asked,"what kind of supper did they give you?
9817Confess what, you fool?
9817Do you know your own handwriting?
9817Do you remember when you first saw me, a sickly, plain, sad little girl, at the avenue gate, twenty years ago? 9817 Do, re, mi, fa, sol?"
9817Does he know of this letter''s existing?
9817Est- ce que monsieur est indisposé? 9817 Have you forgotten that?
9817I wonder how we could find out? 9817 Is it all right?"
9817Is_ that_ what it means? 9817 May I keep it?"
9817Mimsey looks passive enough, with her thumb in her mouth, does n''t she? 9817 Then came that extraordinary dream, which you remember as well as I do:_ was n''t_ it a wonder?
9817Was there ever,said I--"ever since the world began, such ecstasy as I feel now?
9817Well, my Apollo of the T square,_ pourquoi cet honneur?_ Have you come, like a dutiful nephew, to humble yourself and beg for forgiveness?
9817Well, my Apollo of the T square,_ pourquoi cet honneur?_ Have you come, like a dutiful nephew, to humble yourself and beg for forgiveness?
9817What on earth is that wonderful tune, Mary?
9817Where are those boys going?
9817Why ca n''t you sing, you d-- d French milksop? 9817 Why have you brought me here?"
9817''Ne le_ récollectes_ tu pas?''
9817***** And what does it all mean?
9817***** Oh, Mary, Mary, Duchess of Towers, sweet friend of my childhood, and love of my life, what must you think of me now?
9817***** Pray?
9817***** Repent?
9817***** Thank Heaven, pity is not remorse or shame; and what crime could well be worse than his?
9817***** What does everybody think?
9817***** Would I do it all over again?
9817*****"And the goal?
9817--"Oh Mary-- Mimsey-- what do I care for Vesuvius, and sunsets, and the Bay of Naples..._ just now_?
9817--do you remember your little drawing out of_ The Island_, in the green morocco Byron?
9817..."Can you forgive me this''entraînement de jeunesse?''
9817..._ She._"Was n''t it''Maman, les p''tits bateaux?''"
9817; or Italian,"Chi lo sa?"
9817After all, it was only for another forty or fifty years at the most, and what was that?
9817After this what can there be for me but death-- well earned and well paid for?
9817Ah, Gogo, is a man happier than a mouse, or a mouse than a turnip, or a turnip than a lump of chalk?
9817All he said was:"Awful shame of me to drop old Lyon for Chiselhurst, eh?
9817And after that--_que sçais- je?_ The thought was inspiring indeed!
9817And afterwards where should we be if some of us had n''t once had them on earth?
9817And hast thou done growing at last?
9817And then what business had_ she_, in_ this_,_ my_ particular dream-- as she herself had asked of me?
9817And these cobwebs?
9817And thus, as the boy is father to the man, should the human race one day be father to-- what?
9817And what canst_ thou_ say to us yet, Euterpe, but thy"ga- ga"and thy"ba- ba,"the inarticulate sweetness whereof we feel and can not comprehend?
9817And when once the human will has been set going, like a rocket or a clock or a steam- engine, and in the right direction, what can it not achieve?
9817And who''s that nice old man with the long green coat and the red ribbon?
9817Are two people happier than one?
9817As happy as we were--_happier_ even?"
9817As the female chimpanzee is to the Venus of Milo, so is the Venus of Milo to... X?
9817As the orang- outang is to Shakespeare, so is Shakespeare to... X?
9817Belle fille?"
9817But how about the avenue and my old home?
9817But of the thing for which I am here?
9817But what man would be a mouse or a turnip, or_ vice versâ_?
9817But what matter the words?
9817But where was the fée Tarapatapoum?
9817But_ was_ it a dream?
9817Can anything be less odd, less eccentric or interesting?
9817Can you make out my little parable?
9817Cloud to Paris?
9817Couldst thou, out of those five sounds of fixed, unalterable pitch, make, not a sixth sound, but a star?
9817Do n''t you really remember?
9817Do n''t you remember?
9817Do n''t you remember?
9817Do n''t you_ rappel_ it to yourself?
9817Do you happen to recollect once bringing me a note from at Ibbetson Hall?
9817Do you hear the waves tumbling and splashing, and see the albatross?
9817Do you know that tune?"
9817Do you like it?
9817Do you remember her?
9817Do you remember your father''s voice?
9817Do you remember''Parva sed Apta, le petit pavilion,''as you used to call it?
9817Do you remember?
9817Does the touch of mine tell you nothing?"
9817Et Mimsé?
9817Even in its madness there must be a method, so how could the will be free?
9817For what was I to the Duchess of Towers?
9817For who would fardels bear?
9817For whoever remembers having once been you, wakes you for the nonce out of-- nirvana, shall we say?
9817For you are Mr. Ibbetson, Lady Cray''s architect?"
9817Gogo-- gentil petit Gogo!--oui-- oui-- l''exercice?
9817Had I gone mad by any chance?
9817Had any youth been ever so moved by that face before?
9817Have you forgotten what he is doing now?
9817Have you no family papers?"
9817He began to snivel and whimper, and said he had never meddled with me, and asked what should I meddle with him for?
9817He is quite ignorant of the true relationship, which has caused me many a pang of shame and remorse...."''Que voulez- vous?
9817He put out his hand, and said,"You''re all right, ai n''t yer, guv''ner?
9817He who kisses and tells, he who tells even though he has not kissed-- what can be said for him, what should be done to him?
9817How am I to_ know_?''
9817How can I pay a fitting tribute to one so near to me-- nearer than any woman can ever have been to any man?
9817How can I tell for certain whether you are my son or not?
9817How does one_ feel_ them there?
9817I can understand that now; and yet on earth where should we be without eyes?
9817I cried,"shall we be transcendently happy again?
9817I looked round in despair and rage, and picking out the biggest man I could see, said,"Are_ you_ big enough?"
9817Ibbetson?"
9817If he could speak like this of his cousin, with whom he had been in love when he was young, what lies would he not tell of my poor daughter?
9817Is he beautiful enough?
9817Is it possible-- is it possible?"
9817Is it worth while?
9817Is n''t all the furniture rare and beautiful?
9817Is n''t it enough for either punishment or reward that the secrets of all midges''hearts shall be revealed, and for all other midges to see?
9817Is n''t it lovely?
9817It bids us"Rest in the Lord,"or else it tells us that"He was despised and rejected of men"; but, again, what matter the words?
9817It is a grand old name; but what does it mean?
9817It seems cruel, does n''t it?
9817It was there that Madame Seraskier died of cholera--... What is the matter-- are you ill?"
9817Look at this house; what is written on the portico?"
9817Mean while, what would you like there tonight-- the Yosemite Valley?
9817Monsieur ne parle pas le Français, peut- être?"
9817Mozart''s?"
9817My mother took the letter from the postman''s hand as he said,"Pour Vous?
9817Ortolans, nightingales''tongues, pearls dissolved in wine?"
9817Rossini''s?
9817She might have said--"Eh bien, et après?"
9817The blind and deaf?
9817The cause, the whither, and the why of it all?
9817The duchess said--"Was there ever, since the world began, such a_ muse en scène_, and for such a meeting, Mr. Ibbetson?
9817The height, the voice, the eyes, certain tricks of gait and gesture-- how could I have failed to know her again after such recent dream opportunities?
9817The sound of my friend''s voice, what is it?
9817The stars, worlds upon worlds, so many billions of miles away, what are they for us but mere shiny specks on a net- work of nerves behind the eye?
9817Though why should she be there?
9817Translate me those words into French, O ye who can even render Shakespeare into French Alexandrines--"Belle femme?
9817Was each so sure that when he reached his home he would find his heart''s desire?
9817Was n''t it idiotic?"
9817Was the bridegroom himself so very sure?
9817What are sight and hearing and touch and the rest?
9817What can I do to prevent his believing that I believe him?
9817What could it all mean?
9817What good would family papers have been to me?
9817What is a gentleman?
9817What is to prove all this to me when I wake?
9817What matter if it be a fool''s paradise?
9817What matters the foundation if but the bliss be there, and the brain has nerves to feel it?
9817What matters what anybody thinks?
9817What more could be wanted for a small boy fresh( if such be freshness) from the very heart of Bloomsbury?
9817What must thy songs without words have been, if thou didst ever make any?
9817What shall it be?
9817What turnip would be a lump-- of anything but itself?
9817What were they, those five sounds?
9817What would she think of me now?
9817What,''at the other end of the room,''were you?
9817What_ can_ be more enchanting?
9817What_ was_ your name, then?"
9817Who knows?
9817Who knows?
9817Who knows?
9817Who told you so?"
9817Whose is it?
9817Why ca n''t you talk French, you infernal British booby?
9817Why not Hecuba?
9817Why only two?
9817Why should so fantastic a thought have persecuted me so cruelly?
9817Why two ears?
9817Why, of course, those eyes, so lashless then, so thickly fringed to- day!--how could I have mistaken them?
9817Will that convince you?"
9817Would it ever get up steam for me?
9817Would you like a slice?
9817You and I, yes; because we_ are_ one; but who else?
9817You go to- day, do you not?
9817[ Illustration:] Where have we not waltzed together, from Buckingham Palace downward?
9817_ I._ Oh, of_ course!__"''Maman, les p''tits bateaux Qui vont sur l''eau, Ont- ils des jambes?
9817_ She._"With a yellow omnibus?
9817_ There!_ What did I tell you?
9817_ Who_ is a gentleman, and yet who_ is not_?
9817and that, both having died so near each other, we had begun our eternal afterlife in this heavenly fashion?
9817arrmes... bras?
9817by-- by two little jailers, a man and his wife, who danced and were trying to hem you in?"
9817faudrait- il autre chose?"
9817she whispered, and turned white again, and trembled all over,"what do you mean?"
9817some nerve that now can only be made to thrill and vibrate in a dream, too delicate as yet to ply its function in the light of common day?
9817the Bay of Naples after sunset, with Vesuvius in eruption?...
9817the Nevski Prospect in the winter, with the sledges?
9817the Rialto?
9817toujours mal à la tête?"
9817what had become of this Gogo in the mean time?
9817where and what were time or space to us then?
9817who''s the lovely young giantess that seems so fond of you, you little rascal, hey?
9956But how could she do it-- how could she kill the man she cared for?
9956Do n''t you recognise my dress, William?
9956Do you believe now? 9956 Do you believe now?"
9956Do you suppose there was anything between them?
9956Doctor,he said very quietly,"will you do me a favor?
9956Does this interesting literary character haunt the yellow drawing- room? 9956 Does-- does Mr. Oke know that you have got it here?"
9956Have n''t you heard the gong for dinner?
9956Have you any ghosts at Okehurst, by the way?
9956Have you ever read any of Lovelock''s poetry?
9956Have you ever seen or heard anything strange there?
9956How does one know that anything is true in this world?
9956I presume you have not,I asked, half laughing, of Mrs. Oke,"since you do n''t mind sitting in that room for hours alone?
9956I suppose you are a great sportsman?
9956I think we shall be caught in a tremendous storm,I said;"had n''t we better be turning?"
9956If he is, why does n''t he go up to town and see the doctor? 9956 Is Mrs. Oke unwell?"
9956Is n''t it true that Mrs. Oke tries to look like that portrait?
9956Lovelock?
9956No one?
9956Really?
9956Well, who was it?
9956What do I want with the unaesthetic sex, as Schopenhauer calls it?
9956What do the dead people know about it? 9956 What is that costume?"
9956What is the name of this place?
9956Where is Mrs. Oke? 9956 Who tells you that I do n''t believe in_ such things_, as you call them?"
9956Who told thee that fable?
9956Who was it, then, that was walking with you near the pond, about five o''clock?
9956Who was it?
9956Who''s that fellow looking in at the window, and making signs to you, Alice? 9956 Why do you worry Mr. Oke like that?"
9956Why not? 9956 Why, would you dislike it if there were?"
9956Would n''t what?
9956You know Sora Luisa, the blacksmith''s widow? 9956 1 That sketch up there with the boy''s cap? 9956 18th._-- Am I mad? 9956 2 You remember, three years ago, my telling you I had let myself in for painting a couple of Kentish squireen? 9956 A hallucination? 9956 A singular being, is she not? 9956 Am I too going mad? 9956 Am I turning novelist instead of historian? 9956 And I, for what am I waiting? 9956 And after that, what next? 9956 And his melancholy, his preoccupation, the something about him that told of a broken youth-- did it mean that he knew it? 9956 And since I have satiated thy lust for revenge, since thou hast withered my life and withered my genius, is it not time for pity? 9956 And that fresco, with warriors in Roman cuirasses and green and blue lappets, and knee- breeches-- where could I have seen them before? 9956 And the youngest son of the King sat in the green meadow and thought about it a little, and then said,''What use is there in being Emperor or Pope? 9956 And then she suddenly added,Suppose you paint my portrait in that room?"
9956And when you come to think of it, why not?
9956And yet what can he do?
9956And yet, who knows?
9956And, indeed, is it possible they should not?
9956As a matter of fact, what is there to be said?
9956At what price?
9956But have I recovered?
9956But if it does not distress you or your charming daughter, may I humbly beg permission to smoke a cigar?"
9956But if madness means the happiness of one''s life, what of it?
9956But if she will not listen to him, what can he do?
9956But where is the use of talking about her?
9956But why among these statues only men and boys, athletes and fauns?
9956But why not?
9956But why so, pray?
9956But, after all, why make a scandal?
9956But,"he added, as if fearful lest he should be supposed to accuse her in any way,"how can she, usually, with her wretched health?
9956By taking no notice of the letter?
9956Can you doubt of the reality of Christopher Lovelock now?"
9956Could it have been all a hallucination or a dream-- perhaps a dream dreamed that night?
9956Death-- and is not she also dead?
9956Did I ever mention to you Father Domenico of Casoria, the confessor of our Convent of the Stigmata?
9956Did I not know that I was in love with a woman dead three hundred years?
9956Do I dread it?
9956Do I feel anything, does anything exist all round me?
9956Do I long for tonight?
9956Do n''t they believe that Lovelock has been seen about the house?
9956Do you remember-- you, who have read everything-- all the bosh of our writers about the Ideal in Art?
9956Do you see it?
9956Do you suppose that a woman like Medea feels the smallest ill- will against a poor, craven Duchess Maddalena?
9956Do you understand?
9956For what use, I entreat you to tell me, is that respectable spinster''s vision?
9956For, after all, may I not recover from this strangest of maladies?
9956From this sort of martyrdom( what are the sensations of a former racehorse being driven in a cab?
9956Has Waldemar''s statue shown me the real Dionea, or has Dionea really grown more strangely beautiful than before?
9956Has your Excellency ever read Longus, a Greek pastoral novelist?
9956Have I really seen her, or am I mad?
9956Have n''t they all heard his footsteps in the big corridor?
9956Have you got that particular white dress she was painted in, perhaps?"
9956He ought to save her, do you see?
9956How could he?
9956How do you explain the part which tradition ascribes to her in the supposed murder?
9956How do you explain this uncanny reputation, since nothing ever happened there?"
9956How in the world should I have dreamed that I was handling explosive substances?
9956How pay them off?
9956How should I know that the wretched husband would take such matters seriously?
9956How was it I had not noticed that?
9956I answered, working away at my sketch, and enjoying putting this strange creature, as I said to myself, through her paces;"how is that?"
9956I asked--"that she was ever in love with him?
9956I fancied I saw it all, and that I, somehow, was Marcantonio Frangipani come to liberate her-- or was it Prinzivalle degli Ordelaffi?
9956I feel as if some danger pursued me here( can it be fever?
9956I go about humming between my teeth,"Why am I not Marcantonio?
9956I hear again all the insipid exclamations, the insipid questions about this singer:--"When did he live?
9956I know not what impelled me to say,"By the way, have you any dresses of that Mrs. Oke whom your wife resembles so much?
9956I put it into water when I returned, after having kissed it, who knows how many times?
9956I wonder whether such an idol ever existed, or exists nowadays, in the body of Tassi''s bronze effigy?
9956I wonder who has his likeness now?
9956Is it a delusion?
9956Is it falsehood?
9956Is it from living among these peasants and fishing- folk, or is it because, as people pretend, a skeptic is always superstitious?
9956Is it her fault that every stone that comes beneath her chariot- wheels is crushed?
9956Is this Medea''s fault?
9956Is this folly?
9956Jealous-- but of whom?
9956MY DEAR BOUTOURLINE, Do you remember my telling you, one afternoon that you sat upon the hearthstool at Florence, the story of Mrs. Oke of Okehurst?
9956May I not hear one note, only one note of thine, O singer, O wicked and contemptible wretch?
9956May this explain?
9956May this not be the case with me?
9956Moreover, I was very calm, as one is calm sometimes in extraordinary dreams-- could I be dreaming?
9956Must he seek out the other one, and try and get him out of the way?
9956My book?
9956Nay, am I not here at Urbania on the express understanding that, in a certain number of months, I shall produce just another such book?
9956Nay, would it be possible to drag on a life like this one after the happiness of tomorrow?
9956Oh, do n''t you think it delightful, going at this pace, with the idea that any moment the horse may come down and we two be killed?"
9956Or are there really ghosts?
9956Recovery?
9956Shall life for me mean the love of a dead woman?
9956Suppose she knew that she must strike or be struck?
9956That incident was the beginning of a perfect system-- a system of what?
9956The genuine ghost?
9956The question was, Could such a name be fitly borne by a young lady at the Convent of the Stigmata?
9956The supernatural can open the caves of Jamschid and scale the ladder of Jacob: what use has it got if it land us in Islington or Shepherd''s Bush?
9956This is the first time in my life that I have been a thief; why did I not go into a shop and buy a hatchet?
9956To Oke or to Mrs. Oke?
9956Was he very famous?
9956Was it all my fancy?
9956Was it cowardice on my part?
9956Was she worth seeing, that aunt of hers, or would she, if followed, have led the way to any interesting brimstone or any endurable beatitude?
9956Was there, perhaps, another door there?
9956Well, yes, after all, why not?
9956What happened there?"
9956What has become of the race of Faustinas, Marozias, Bianca Cappellos?
9956What if the rose has fallen to dust?
9956What mystery was there in this woman''s life?
9956What was it all?
9956What''s the use of it all?
9956Where discover nowadays( I confess she haunts me) another Medea da Carpi?
9956Where had I seen that goddess in lilac and lemon draperies foreshortened over a big, green peacock?
9956Where have you been all this time?"
9956Where is Alice?"
9956Who can it be?"
9956Who had written it?
9956Who knows whether they do not exist to this day?
9956Why do I write this trash?
9956Why no wide- shouldered Amazon or broad- flanked Aphrodite?
9956Why only the bust of that thin, delicate- lipped little Madonna wife of his?
9956Why should I?
9956Why should she not return to the earth, if she knows that it contains a man who thinks of, desires, only her?
9956Why should there not be ghosts to such as can see them?
9956Why will she always go on like that about Lovelock?"
9956Why, in Heaven''s name, must he pitch upon Zaffirino for his mooning, this old duffer of a patrician?
9956Will tonight ever come?
9956Will you listen to me?"
9956Would it be possible to live in order to love another woman?
9956Would you like to come up to your rooms?"
9956You did n''t know that it all took place under my eyes?
9956You have never heard the story in detail?
9956You really think that I am?"
9956You think our peasants are skeptical?
9956am I going mad?
9956cried one of the boys--"the one who used to ride through the air on a goat?"
9956did any of thy lovers love thee as I do?
9956do you suppose they have n''t heard the story?
9956he repeated, in a scrutinising tone;"no one, Alice?"
9956or Prinzivalle?
9956or he of Narni?
9956or rather, that I only now remembered having noticed it?
9956or the good Duke Alfonso?
9956sing_ Santa Lucia_--d''you hear?"
9956you''ve got fever in this part of the world, have you?
35641''And the tapestry came from him-- you are certain as to that?'' 35641 ''But what, then, has he been worrying about all this century or more?''
35641''I suppose you belong to the Psychical Society?'' 35641 ''Shall we take the_ portières_ with us?''
35641''What on earth is the matter?'' 35641 ''Why?''
35641About-- about Arthur? 35641 Alone?"
35641And after that there''ll only be one other time before we go, wo n''t there, Leila? 35641 And can you remember_ nothing_?"
35641And how about Tim?
35641And what are you going to do?
35641And what will mamma think of our leaving so soon?
35641And where am I to spend the night, then?
35641And yet,I persisted,"you would trust the post?"
35641And you adhere to your determination not to see my-- not to see Daisy again?
35641And,I added suddenly,"did you_ feel_ nothing?"
35641And-- what man ever had such happy prospects?
35641Are you awake, Lel?
35641Are you not amazed, Helen?
35641Are you sure you know the way?
35641Arthur, is it some priest? 35641 As to the story itself-- what was old Devereux''s motive in concealing his own ring?
35641But what are all these big packages?
35641But-- oh, Leila, what_ could_ it be? 35641 Can one of you come over?"
35641Can you get it out of him, if you can do nothing else for us, Philip? 35641 Can you tell me,"I inquired of my opposite neighbour, a cheery- faced compatriot--"Can you tell me how soon we get to---- Junction by this train?
35641Daisy,he exclaimed sharply,"what is the meaning of all this nonsense?
35641Daisy?
35641Do n''t you think it feels rather dreary, Helen?
35641Do you remember which of the_ portières_"hung in front of the door at Finster?"
35641Do you think that necessary?
35641Does your sister-- does Lady West know about-- about this mysterious affair?
35641For----he repeated in the queerest German I ever heard-- was it German?
35641Herr Schmidt?
35641How did you think we had all got in if you had not yet passed the Junction? 35641 How long are we to stay here?"
35641How soon we get to---- Junction?
35641How? 35641 Hugh,"she said hesitatingly,"you do n''t think-- it surely is not possible that his-- that Arthur''s brain is affected?"
35641I wonder,said Daisy,"if she knows more?"
35641If you had spoken to him, Charlotte, I wonder if he would have told you his secret?
35641If, as I infer, the matter is one of great importance,I said,"would it not be well for me to start sooner?
35641Is it like a man or a woman?
35641Is it never going to stop?
35641Is there anything the matter?
35641Leila,she said in a whisper,"why have they-- did you know that the tapestry had been taken down?"
35641Leila,she said piteously,"ca n''t you explain it?
35641Leila,she said,"mamma wants to know what you are doing with Dormy?
35641Little Nell,he said,"has she sent you down to me from heaven?
35641Marion,he said,"at last?
35641Mrs. Jones,cried she,"can you not get any one to go to look for my sister?
35641No train for five hours? 35641 Not to-- her-- Daisy?"
35641Oh, Leila, do n''t go-- you do n''t mean you are going now?
35641Oh, Mrs. Jones, what will become of her?
35641Oh, Philip, Philip, why did he not tell?
35641Only what should he be doing at the clock at this time of night? 35641 Sighing?"
35641The Black Lake?
35641The express that leaves--and I named my own town--"at six in the evening?"
35641The express?
35641Then have you decided upon Raxtrew Rectory?
35641Then what in heaven''s name is it?
35641Then you can throw no light upon it-- none whatever?
35641Then you do n''t think he can be a ghost?
35641Then you do n''t think it is a trick?
35641Then,I persisted,"this is the double- fast express, which does not stop between M---- and your Junction?"
35641Then-- what train_ is_ this?
35641Was it he?
35641Was it moonlight?
35641Was the Fawne Court carriage not here?
35641Well, yes,he said,"I do n''t know if there is anything coming over me-- I feel quite well, but-- Leila,"he broke off,"do you believe in ghosts?"
35641What are these?
35641What clock do you mean? 35641 What do you mean to do?"
35641What do you say, Walter? 35641 What do you want, Leila?"
35641What is it?
35641What is the matter, Dormy?
35641What was it?
35641What? 35641 What?"
35641What?
35641When do we start again for----?
35641Where did they come from?
35641Who do you think has been our fellow- lodger all this time, Helen? 35641 Whom shall we tell?"
35641Why do you keep harping on the moon?
35641Why, where are you going, child?
35641Would you be frightened to go there with me now? 35641 You are sure it was the door into the library?"
35641You mean to see for himself?
35641You wo n''t sit up with him, I hope, father?
35641You wo n''t tell me who he is?
35641You''re not thinking of killing yourself, are you?
35641You-- you are satisfied then-- entirely satisfied that there is nothing we need dread her being mixed up in, so to say? 35641 ''If you know them, sir, you will be careful, I hope, to assure the captain that I did my best to carry out his wishes?'' 35641 ''Is it some family that has come down in the world, and is forced to part with things to get some ready money?'' 35641 ''Is there nothing more?'' 35641 ),can you ever forgive me?"
35641A monk who had gone through a life- time of spiritual struggle alone, unaided by human sympathy?
35641And Trevannion; do n''t you know a Miss Trevannion, Bessie?"
35641And at the Rectory?
35641And how do you mean''sometimes''?"
35641Are you going over to Rome, fancying yourself called to be a Trappist, or a-- those fellows at the Grande Chartreuse, you remember?"
35641Are you mad?"
35641Are_ you_ a dream?"
35641As I passed the porter I repeated the hour he had named, adding:"That is the first train for---- Junction?"
35641But as for Dormy,"he went on,"supposing I get mother to let me take him with me?
35641But how was this?
35641But look, Edith, how do you like this?"
35641But where should we go?
35641But who would have guessed that in one heart it was ever ringing with maddening anguish?
35641Could it be so?
35641Did I already suspect the truth?
35641Do you hear, Daisy-- eh, what?"
35641Do you think we must tell father before I go?"
35641Do you think your employers will be pleased to hear of your insulting us, sir?"
35641Edith started up as Helen convulsively clutched her, and exclaiming,"What in the world is the matter?"
35641First and foremost-- why has the ghost stuck to the tapestry instead of to the actual spot he seemed to have wished to reveal?
35641For his first inquiry late the next day, when glimmering consciousness had begun to revive--"Marion, the baby?"
35641Had I been dreaming?
35641Had the thing-- the Finster shadow-- attached itself to us-- I had read of such cases-- had it journeyed with us to this peaceful, healthful house?
35641Had there been an accident-- some unforeseen necessity for stopping?
35641Has Dormy told you anything?"
35641Has no one seen him but you, Sybil?"
35641Have I ever seen a ghost?
35641Have they been converting or perverting you, my boy?
35641Have you been quarrelling with Lingard?
35641Have you ever seen your ghost again, Sybil?
35641Have you found out anything about him?"
35641Have you found out that there''s a strain of insanity in the Lingards perhaps?
35641Have you no near neighbours?"
35641His eyes had a different expression now-- or was it that something was gleaming softly in them that had not been there before?
35641How could one fight a shadow?
35641How long had I been asleep?
35641How long had I slept?
35641I exclaimed;"what_ possible_ motive could there be for a trick?"
35641I flew out at poor Trevannion when he suggested it, but all the same, it''s nothing in your past you''re ashamed of that''s come to light, is it?
35641I was going to ask you,"and he half gasped--"it is nothing-- nothing about her that is at the root of all this misery?
35641I wonder if I might use it?"
35641I wonder, Keir, if you can throw any light upon it?"
35641Is it about Arthur?"
35641Is it all a dream-- this fine room, the music and all?
35641Is that really all we have?
35641Is that the mystery?
35641Is that what you are talking about?"
35641It could not be the Junction?
35641Jones?"
35641Leila, what_ can_ it be?
35641Listen, ca n''t you hear its ticking, faintly, even here, at the end of that long passage?"
35641Marion, my darling, why do n''t you speak?
35641Might it not be that Marion''s prayers had brought them together?
35641No fancy,"again the gasp,"that-- that she does n''t care for you, or love you enough?
35641No nonsense about your not being suited to each other, or that you could n''t make a girl of her sensitive, high- strung nature happy?"
35641Nothing wrong-- nothing to shock a girl like her?
35641Oh, mamma, what can it be?"
35641Or had the man with a cough, for his own nefarious purposes, mesmerised or hypnotised me, and to some extent succeeded?
35641Or was it in any sense true?
35641Or was it something peculiar about my own condition that caused it to have the unusual effect I now experienced?
35641The other time it had been resolution temporarily hardening a youthful face; now-- what did it remind him of?
35641The road skirts that old farmhouse; you know it, father?
35641Was he a conjurer, a pupil of Maskelyne and Cook?
35641Was he doing so on purpose?
35641Was it all a dream, or a prophetic vision of warning?
35641Was it possible that it had never been taken out to the barn at all?
35641Was it something in the look that had passed between them?
35641Was it the reflection of the candle he held, or did he look paler than usual?
35641We have not-- Fagg, I am right, am I not-- we have received nothing by post?"
35641We shook our heads, but what could we say?
35641We''ve only got this house for three months?"
35641Were the marked cards his, or his opponent''s, of which he had managed to possess himself, and had secreted as testimony against the other fellow?
35641What happened?
35641What in Heaven''s name are we waiting here for?"
35641What is the matter?
35641What sort of a winter are we going to have?"
35641What was it?
35641What was there peculiar about that coffee?
35641What, then, were we doing here, and what_ was_"here"?
35641What_ could_ I say?
35641Where shall we hang them?"
35641Where was he now?
35641Who can say?
35641Who do you think is the''strange gentleman''?
35641Who knows what tragedy is bound up in it?"
35641Why did a strange thrill of misgiving go through me?
35641Why did she say that?
35641Why do you not like the gallery?"
35641Why, Malcolm, did you always shut your door as the clock struck thirteen?"
35641Will you not see her to- night?"
35641Wo n''t you tell me what it is?"
35641Would he not help me?"
35641You do n''t think, Philip, that there is anything of that kind-- melancholia, you know-- in his family?"
35641You had not the pleasure of our company from M----, I take it?
35641You have all the documents ready?"
35641You have heard something?
35641You understand?"
35641You were alone, if I mistake not?"
35641You were found-- no, not literally in the workhouse, was it?"
35641You will tell Mrs. Trevannion and-- and Daisy that I will do my best?"
35641You''ll come to meet us, wo n''t you?"
35641Your father will see him-- you will, will you not, Hugh?"
35641_ Had_ I, in some inexplicable way, left my own town earlier than I intended, and really travelled in a slow train?
35641_ Was_ it so short a time?
35641gasped Dormy,"the cold-- you feel it now?"
35641he exclaimed,"Arthur, old fellow, are you going blind?
35641he exclaimed,"and how about our shooting?"
35641or did I discover his meaning by some preternatural cleverness of my own?
35641repeated Miles,''you do n''t mean the people at Hallinger?''
35641said Mrs. Lindsay,"what do you mean?"
35641thought she humbly and gratefully,"and how can I ever repay Malcolm for his goodness?"
14045''But how, my soul?'' 14045 ''Can not you get at it?''
14045''Do you see?'' 14045 ''Fidèle, are we experienced?''
14045''For your paper?'' 14045 ''Has the night turned foul?''
14045''Have you come for my thanks?'' 14045 ''How do you know?''
14045''I wonder,''said he,''will the landlord object if I ventur''upon a glint of fire for comfort''s sake?'' 14045 ''Is it a mermaid you see, Killigrew?''
14045''Little cabbage,''she said;''will you not put your new knowledge to account?'' 14045 ''So?''
14045''What is?'' 14045 ''Without consultation with any one?''
14045''You are n''t commissioned, then?'' 14045 ''_ Comment?_''I said; and in a moment was in my shirt- sleeves.
14045Ah!--you''re not offended?
14045Ai n''t you comin''to the ghost, Jack?
14045Am I getting fanciful?
14045An auberge, then-- a cabaret-- anything?
14045And I am now to tell you,she said,"about the mastodon?"
14045And I, Camille?
14045And Plancine?
14045And did you see anything?
14045And how about your head?
14045And nothing else? 14045 And so,"I said,"Exciseman Jones was true to his word?"
14045And that was a queer good- bye for ever, was n''t it?
14045And the house and the gal?
14045And what became of your grandfather?
14045And what was that?
14045And where did you see it, and when?
14045And where, sir?
14045And who was that?
14045And why not?
14045And why?
14045And yer gone ter break wi''me fer thart?
14045Are they not?
14045Are you in pain?
14045As to what?
14045But how I lost it?
14045But how may Madame who sees nothing; know then a spirit to be abroad?
14045But supposing you, a murderer, to be haunted by the presentment of your victim?
14045But, surely-- here we have a man of superior education, of imagination even?
14045But_ did_ you ever see a ghost?
14045Camille,I said,"why to- day hast thou shifted thy ground a little in the direction of the Buet ravine?"
14045Camille,I whispered,"what is it?"
14045Camille-- the cause?
14045Can I not exchange a word with Mère Pettit,scolded the woman,"but thou must sneak from behind my back on thy crazed moon- hunting?"
14045Can that be so?
14045Can you come at once, sir?
14045Could you, now?
14045D''ee warnt to shake un from his perch?
14045Did any one take that glass? 14045 Do you know where we stand?"
14045Do you not fear?
14045Doan''t I? 14045 Does Monsieur wish to know?"
14045Find what?
14045For how long ages had he been travelling to the valley, and from what heights? 14045 George, must you be a Chartist and believe in Feargus O''Connor?"
14045George, you can not mean to insult my father?
14045Had you ever a child down there?
14045Has none of you got a key to this door?
14045Have I said enough? 14045 Have n''t I?
14045He came to-- of course, he came to?
14045He is stricken, Madame?
14045He was not always thus?
14045His_ skeleton? 14045 How had he inveigled him there?
14045How much could you put down of a night, Jack?
14045How the blazes could a man blow his dog''s nose, unless he muzzled it with a handkercher, and then twisted its tail? 14045 I am dying, my little Plancine?"
14045I do please; for why should I keep it to myself? 14045 In an engagement?"
14045In what were they astray?
14045Is he not a rare fellow?
14045Is it not better than decided rejection?
14045Is it ten thousand babes at play? 14045 Is it, then, that I must toil onwards to Châtelard?"
14045Is that so? 14045 Is there-- is there no remedy?"
14045It came to a climax, then?
14045It was a nest of''em-- traffickers in the eternal fire o''weekdays, and on the Sabbath, who so sanctimonious? 14045 Lady Barbara?
14045May I ask how you propose dealing with the new- comer?
14045May I ask how you--?
14045Mind? 14045 Monsieur does not know?
14045Monsieur has seen it?
14045My grandfather? 14045 My head?
14045Now, confess to me, my man, I said,"what do you see?"
14045Now, what do you fancy, sir?
14045Of when do you speak?
14045On the site of the old churchyard?
14045One other trifle, George?
14045Pardon,she said;"but he has been affronting Monsieur with his antics?"
14045Say what?
14045Shall I tell you what I saw then and many nights after? 14045 Sinner, sinner, why do you wait?"
14045Sir-- friend,he said, in a confidential, hoarse whisper,"wo n''t you''elp a starvin''British workman?"
14045Smugglers?''
14045So you will, will you? 14045 Supposing we seize the opportunity to explore?"
14045Surely the habitual criminal has it in a marked degree?
14045The treasure?
14045They called him Dark Dignum, sir-- a great feat smuggler, and as wicked as he was bold,"Is your story about him?
14045They? 14045 Toothache?"
14045Well?
14045Well?
14045Were those words the last of its death- throe, or an echo from beyond? 14045 Whart''s he gone to do?"
14045What are your symptoms?
14045What didst thou hear?
14045What do you see?
14045What had happened? 14045 What is it all?"
14045What is it, my George?
14045What is it? 14045 What next, Camille?
14045What now? 14045 What punishment, my poor Camille?"
14045What''s up?
14045Where is it?
14045Who found him?
14045Who may say? 14045 Who the devil are you, sir?"
14045Who?
14045Why did n''t one of you ask the Major if anything was wrong?
14045Why do n''t''ee stir theeself and hunt for un, Jarge?
14045Why was that?
14045Why we were not dashed to pieces? 14045 Why, who-- but two- thirds of all Dunburgh?"
14045Will you believe what follows? 14045 Will you have me moved if I tell you?"
14045Will you tell me about it?
14045Will you, as a matter of conscience, let me convince myself? 14045 William,"I said,"did you happen to look back as we left the cabin?"
14045Wilt thou lead me, Camille?
14045Wrong? 14045 Yer doan''t mean thart?"
14045Yet it sounds hollow, George?
14045You are a poet?
14045You are curious to know?
14045You ca n''t?
14045You did?
14045You do n''t include them cockt hatses in your expeerunce?
14045You have obtained your''copy''?
14045You mean they take no heed that the Law may punish for that for which it gives no remedy?
14045You will accept?
14045You will not go to- night?
14045You will want to know how they looked, these lifeless survivors of a remote race from a remote time? 14045 You would not value Plancine at so much bullion?"
14045Yours?
14045_ Is_ it? 14045 ''Where would be your fame and reputation as one of the leadin''prison reformers of the day if you had kep''on in that riming nonsense?'' 14045 ''You do n''t mind?'' 14045 ***** What comment of my own can I append to this wild narrative? 14045 A great waft of the cold, dank air came at us, and with it-- what? 14045 A malformed and twisted echo? 14045 A scholar, Madame?
14045A whistle of imprisoned steam tricked into some horrible caricature of a human voice?
14045A year ago, or two- thirds of a lifetime?
14045And so, I suppose, your son''ll drink''dog''s- nose,''too?"
14045And we pulled him, compatible with discipline, but--""But what?"
14045And what had been his unrecorded fate?
14045And what is the story?"
14045And what would you fancy for your dinner, sir?"
14045And will the yews root in_ my_ heart, I wonder?
14045Are they not exquisite?"
14045Are you hurt?''
14045But for his fall-- it was always unaccountable?"
14045But why does he make such a mystery of his past?
14045But why should one not climb the mountain by way of the glacier?''
14045Can the place have associations for him connected with his malady?"
14045Canst thou force the casket, George?"
14045Canst thou free my right arm, that I may feel for the lucifers in my pocket?''
14045Could I ever achieve that?
14045Did I ever tell you he served under me in India?
14045Did I ever tell you the story of Dark Dignum and Exciseman Jones?"
14045Did any peculiarity in the dead man''s face strike you?"
14045Do I know what I say?
14045Do you hear it?"
14045Do you remember them?"
14045Do you trifle with your destiny?
14045Does Monsieur seek a guide?"
14045Dost thou see them?
14045For why?
14045For why?
14045For, would you believe it, the man had at the moment been threatenin''me?
14045Had he been a climber, an explorer-- a contemporary, perhaps, of Saussure and a rival?
14045Had no one, then, ever thought of this before?
14045Have I ever desired wealth save for my little_ pouponne_ here?
14045His name, his rank, his very origin?
14045How could he ever release him without ruining himself?
14045How did I give my evidence at the inquest?"
14045How do you know?
14045How many of our friends round about here would be picking oakum now if they had made a gospel of that quotation?"
14045I do n''t know what''s the matter, or-- Why do you hold me?
14045I have a bedroom that is at Monsieur''s disposition, if Monsieur will condescend?"
14045I said,"Who-- who, my friend?"
14045I said,''Why not reverse the ladle so as to bring the deeper cup uppermost?''
14045I turned and said to the warder quietly,--"Is it long since this cell was in use?"
14045I whispered,''what are you going to do with him?''
14045I''m afraid I interrupted-- eh?"
14045Indeed, where was cause for one, or the subject of the other?
14045Is it difficult to swallow?
14045Is it in the neighbourhood?"
14045Is it possible to descend to it from above?"
14045Is it possible to make a man''s self his most precious possession?
14045Is n''t it monstrous that a state- fixed degree of misconduct should earn a man social ostracism?
14045Is that not bathos?
14045Is there an hotel in Bel- Oiseau?"
14045Is this ice-- these blocks of dirty alabaster?''
14045Is this your treasure?"
14045Monsieur smiles?"
14045Monsieur, wilt thou come?"
14045My grandfather blew his''dog''s- nose,''and drank his clarinet like a artist and my father--""What did you say your grandfather did?"
14045No doubt also one may know a spirit by the smell of sulphur?"
14045No doubt, now, you will read between the lines of that bird speech down there?"
14045Now, near at hand, what do we find it?
14045Plainly: if I could procure you the post of resident doctor at D---- gaol, would you be disposed to accept it?"
14045See, my friend, I wish but my own; and what proof of right have I if another should snatch the treasure?"
14045Shall I state my system_ in nuce_?
14045Shall he who has learnt to swim be always content to bathe in shallow water?''
14045Sinner, what is the sound you hear?
14045Success, it was evident, must come, if at all, from a distance-- but how?
14045Surely that was an odd and enigmatical condition, entirely remote from the subject at issue?
14045THE BLACK REAPER PROEM Heaven''s Nursery"Sinner, sinner, whence do you come?"
14045The Judge leaned stern from His Judgment Throne:_"I gave thee-- where is thy littte one?
14045Then you''ve found her out?"
14045They built their church anigh the margin, forasmuch as it was handy, and that they thought,''Surely the Lord will not undermine His own?''
14045Thoughts?
14045To satisfy him, I asked Johnson to open the door of the next cell--""Well?"
14045To slip into a crevasse, and so for the parted ice to snap upon him again, like a hideous jaw?
14045Was it my father?
14045Was it possible-- possible, that injured vanity could so falsify its victim''s every tradition of decency?
14045Was not this astonishing enough?
14045What are you whisperin''about, you blushful chap there by the winder?"
14045What can I say, or how describe it?
14045What could they prove agen him?
14045What did I wish, or dread, or foresee?
14045What did its expression convey to me?
14045What did we see?
14045What did you read?"
14045What did you want with the ghosts of the dead?"
14045What if the room_ were_ empty?
14045What in all these fifty years had he forgotten?
14045What induced me to swallow the insult, and even some of the pungent liquor of his rude offering?
14045What is the cure for this?
14045What palsied spirit, condemned to rust in inactivity, had found solace in this burlesque of shipcraft?
14045What phantasy of old sea- dog or master- mariner had conceived it?
14045What reason had I to be there at all, or, being there, to fear?
14045What was it?
14045What was the matter with him?"
14045What worldling would not have read mania in much that was spoken by this sane woman?
14045What''s the matter with him?"
14045What''s there?
14045Where be the tombstones of drownded mariners to prove it such?
14045Who can think even in a high wind?
14045Who knows?
14045Who were they?"
14045Who would have ventur''d to cross Dark Dignum''s fancies?
14045Who''s confined in the next cell-- there, to the left?"
14045Who, then, was responsible for them?
14045Why does he treat me with such suave and courteous opposition-- permitting my suit, yet withholding his consent?"
14045Why had we not been at once frozen to death?
14045Why not wait till the morning?"
14045Why will your father not yield you gracefully, instead of plying us with that eternal enigma of Black Venn?"
14045Will one of you feel in his pockets?"
14045Will you pardon me?
14045Will you sketch them?
14045Will you talk on, while I try to bring my scattered wits to a focus?"
14045William Tyrwhitt paused, and"Well?"
14045Wilt thou show me the way, Camille?"
14045Yet did she fear, or I rush in?
14045You can have no reason, of course?"
14045You can not doubt my single- hearted devotion?"
14045You noticed nothing else in his face-- a sort of obliteration of what makes one human, I mean?"
14045You want to see inside, do you?
14045a score o''wiselings, and not one to hit oot the means and the way?"
14045do you hear me?"
14045have you seen?
14045they appeared to be saying;''and how will he look when he reissues?''
14045what did I see?
14045when was it?
14045will you believe me?
14045you dare?"
2565''How shalt thou make us sure thereof?'' 2565 ''Wilt thou swear it?''
2565Alas that thou shouldst talk so,said a carle, rising up from the warm sand;"what shall all thy toil win thee?"
2565And many that are as fair as ye be?
2565And my boat?
2565And that King of yours,said he,"how do ye name him?"
2565And when,said Hallblithe,"shall I find a ship that shall carry me?"
2565But tell me,said Hallblithe,"wilt thou also wax evil as thou growest old?"
2565Dost thou call him a liar and a rogue?
2565Dost thou loathe it, then,said the Hostage,"because of the evil thou hast done therein?"
2565Even so,said the damsel,"dost thou not see how the sun shineth on it?
2565Hath he no foemen to fear?
2565Hath he no other name?
2565How can I help thee?
2565How do ye live, what work win ye?
2565How many of such hast thou seen?
2565How may I tell thee?
2565How may I,said the man,"since thy fellow hath weapons?"
2565How should I not?
2565How should that be?
2565How then if we go outward despite thy bidding?
2565How then may I leave this Isle?
2565I mean to ask rather,said the Fox,"what thou wilt give me for the bodies of these twain?"
2565Is he here in this Isle?
2565Is it the Glittering Plain?
2565Is it ye who have stolen from me the Hostage of the Rose?
2565Is she in this Isle, thou old runagate?
2565Is there nought else to do?
2565It is far from other lands?
2565King,said Hallblithe,"wilt thou bring us together and stay my heart''s bleeding?"
2565Nay, I deem it not,said Hallblithe:"But, tell me, is it verily true that my trothplight is not here, that I may ransom her?"
2565Nay, nay,said Fox, smiling,"am I so evil- conditioned then?
2565Nay,said he,"what is the evil, when henceforth I shall do but good?
2565O Warden of the Uttermost House, wherefore should we forbear?
2565Sawest thou the skerry?
2565Seest thou any folk on the shore?
2565Some one?
2565Son,said the other,"hast thou heard it called the Isle of Ransom?"
2565Tell me then who it is hath bidden thee bring me hither?
2565Tell me, my son,said the Grandfather,"how many women are there in the world?"
2565Thou art happy, Grandfather,said Hallblithe,"what good tidings hath morn brought us?"
2565Well then,quoth Hallblithe,"what shall I wish thee?
2565Well then,said Hallblithe,"why did the Puny Fox bewray me, and at whose bidding?"
2565Well, then,said the elder,"how many exceeding fair women are there?"
2565What do ye who live here?
2565What is it?
2565What land?
2565What mayst thou do?
2565What meanest thou?
2565What,said Hallblithe,"art thou wending thither, thou old man?"
2565What,said the elder,"must it be one woman only?"
2565When, oh when?
2565Who shall hinder him?
2565Why didst thou lie to me the other day?
2565Why should I not choose to go up on to the Island to deliver my trothplight maiden? 2565 Wilt thou carry her in thy pouch?"
2565Yea, verily,said Hallblithe;"but will not some of the ship- wards, or some of the others returning, come up hither and find us?
2565Yea,said Hallblithe,"but what ails thee to laugh so?
2565Yea,said Hallblithe,"but what wilt thou call it?"
2565Yea,said the elder,"is it so?
2565Am I not in a land of foemen?"
2565And he said:"What is this?
2565And how could I tell that the Erne would give thee up unstolen?
2565And still he wept in his dream, and his manhood seemed departed from him, and he heard a voice crying out,"Is this the Land?
2565And thou, O beloved, why dost thou delay?
2565And when, oh when, shall we depart?"
2565And who is this goodly and lovely young man, who beareth weapons amidst our peace, and whose face is sad and stern beneath the gleaming of his helm?"
2565And who knoweth what thy wish may bring forth?"
2565Are they dreaming- drunk before the wine is poured?
2565Are they men or mountain- giants?
2565Are they not all gone?
2565Art thou glad or sorry, Hallblithe?"
2565Art thou not afraid?"
2565Art thou not therein, and I myself?
2565At last he said:"Is this then all that thou hast to tell me concerning the Glittering Plain?"
2565But Hallblithe knelt by the Sea- eagle to note how he fared, and said:"How is it with thee, O chieftain?"
2565But Hallblithe laughed and said:"Why do ye hang back, then?
2565But Hallblithe looked on him angrily and said:"Hast thou brought me hither to mock me?
2565But Hallblithe said:"What is to do now?
2565But he who had been king looked up and down and round about, and said at last:"Where be the horses and the men?"
2565But his fellow with the red beard said:"Raven- son, in this land when they journey, what do they as to riding or going afoot?"
2565But tell me what is that upon thy cheeks?"
2565But tell me, beloved, I deemed that thou hadst not seen Fox before; how then can he have helped the Erne against thee?"
2565But tell me, is this the Land of the Glittering Plain?"
2565But the sad man spake again and said:"Thou hast an errand sayest thou?
2565But the third, the sorry man, cried out aloud, saying:"Where is the Land?
2565But what is it which thou wouldst?
2565But what sayest thou concerning the brotherhood with the Erne?"
2565But what wilt thou do with thy thrall the Puny Fox; and whereto in the hall wilt thou have him shown?
2565But what winds are o''er- cold For the heart of the bold?
2565But ye men, what hindereth you to go to the horses''heads and speed on the road the chieftain who is no longer way- worthy?"
2565Did I not well to bring thee into my unroofed house?"
2565Did they try thee hard last night?"
2565Do what thou wilt; am I not become thy friend?"
2565Dost thou not hear the horn''s voice?
2565Dost thou remember the day?"
2565For dost thou know any more than I do what hath befallen thy beloved since thou wert sundered from her?
2565Hallblithe started back at the sight of him, and cried out at him, and said:"Have I found thee, O mine enemy?"
2565Hallblithe wondered and laughed, and said:"Who art thou that deemest me so dear?"
2565Has the spear fallen from thine hand, and hast thou buried the sword of thy fathers in the grave from which thy body hath escaped?
2565Hast thou no better weapons wherewith to meet a warrior of the Raven than these rusty shards, which look as if thou hadst robbed a grave of the dead?
2565He knew not what to answer, and held his peace; and she spake again:"Whither wouldest thou, what seekest thou?"
2565Hearest thou, O chieftain, O Erne of the Sea- eagles?"
2565Hearest thou, chieftain?"
2565Hereat Hallblithe marvelled exceedingly, and he said:"And what am I in all this story?
2565How art thou?
2565How long, O folk, shall your chieftains sit fasting?"
2565How sayest thou, is he enough thy friend?"
2565In a while the old man opened his eyes again, and said in a low peevish voice:"Why standest thou staring at me?
2565Is he also a friend?
2565Is it not enough?"
2565Is it not time to rest?"
2565Is the Grey- goose of the Ravagers in the hall?
2565Is this a lie?"
2565Is this the Land?"
2565Is this the Land?"
2565Is this the Land?"
2565May we hearken, and mayhappen amend it?"
2565Might he not flit me at least to the Land of the Glittering Plain?
2565Nay, why didst thou not slay me as I crept out of yonder hole?
2565Now Hallblithe was troubled when she read out these words, and he said:"What is this tale about a book?
2565Now the Erne spake:"Wilt thou not take the chair and these dainty song- birds that stand about it?
2565Now ye women, whither will ye lead us?
2565O fowl of our fathers, why now are ye resting?
2565Oh come to- morrow at the least and latest, or what shall I do, and wherewith shall I quench the grief of my heart?
2565Or else why am I the daughter of the Undying King, the Lord of the Treasure of the Sea?
2565Or has the earth become so full of lies, that there is no room amidst them for a true man to stand upon his feet and go his ways?"
2565Or hast thou made peace with them?
2565Or look thou, Raven- son, is there not a path yonder that leadeth onward up to the brow of the ghyll again?
2565Or shall he have the cheer of whipping and stripes, as befitteth a thrall to whom the master oweth a grudge?
2565Or tell me, thou old man,"said he fiercely,"is it perchance a thrall- market whereto they are bringing me?
2565Or what sayest thou?"
2565Or what sayst thou, Puny Fox?"
2565Or where deemest thou was the garden wherein thou sawest her standing on the page of the book in that dream of the night?
2565Or wilt thou that he sit fasting in the darkness to- night, laid in gyves and fetters?
2565Quoth he:"Whither away?
2565Quoth the Sea- eagle:"Shipmate and friend, what hath betided?
2565Raven''s Son, thou art standing up; tell me if thou canst see what these folk of the land are doing, and if any others have come thither?"
2565Said Hallblithe hoarsely:"Why didst thou bewray me, and lie to me, and lure me away from the quest of my beloved, and waste a whole year of my life?"
2565Said Hallblithe, and his voice sounded big in the hall:"Who calleth Hallblithe a fool and mocketh at the sons of the Raven?"
2565Said Hallblithe, smiling on the Hostage:"What hast thou to say to it, beloved?"
2565Said Hallblithe,"And when thou art come aland there, what wilt thou do?"
2565Said Hallblithe,"Is this land called also the Acre of the Undying?"
2565Said Hallblithe:"And shall I also have that gift of undying youth, and life while the world of men and gods endureth?"
2565Said Hallblithe:"Art thou going to meet some one who shall make thee glad before thou diest, old man?"
2565Said Hallblithe:"But may not some of them come up hither perchance?"
2565Said Hallblithe:"Dost thou not owe me a joy in return for my beguiling?"
2565Said Hallblithe:"Is there not my bark, that I might depart at once?
2565Said Hallblithe:"What is this land called?"
2565Said the Grandfather:"Why should I tell it thee?
2565Said the Hostage:"Shall I trust this man and go with him?"
2565Said the King:"Where else than in this land wilt thou find rest?
2565Said the Puny Fox:"Dost thou not remember, O Raven, how thou badest me battle last year on the sea- shore by the side of the Rollers of the Raven?
2565Said the Sea- eagle:"Why now do the shipmen tarry and have not made ready the skiff?
2565Said the damsel:"May we guest here to- night?"
2565Said the elder:"And I wish thee more wits; is luck all that thou mayst wish me?
2565Said the elder:"There is noise amidships, what are they doing?"
2565Said the last speaker:"Did thy kin or didst thou steal him, O evil man?"
2565Said the old carle,"Whither wouldest thou my son?"
2565Said the old man:"Sawest thou a rocky skerry rising high out of the sea anigh the shore?"
2565Said the sad man:"Will ye lead us to the King?
2565Shall it not be so, sweetheart?"
2565Shall not sweet life begin for thee from henceforward?"
2565Shall this not be enough for thee?"
2565Shall we wound the living to pleasure the dead, who can not heed it?
2565So came the Warden to the door, clad in red scarlet, and the elder went up to him and said:"Is this the Land?"
2565So he stayed his walk and stood still, and said:"Will any man speak to Hallblithe, a newcomer, and a stranger in this Stead?"
2565So the Erne laughed and said:"Shall we have a word with War- brand then?"
2565So the old man sat up and said:"What hast thou seen?"
2565So when he saw those others coming, he gave them the sele of the day, and said to Hallblithe:"What is it to be?
2565Some one, young man?
2565Spake the Elder of Elders:"Was not death on either hand e''en now, even as treason besetteth the king upon his throne?"
2565Spake the Puny Fox:"What is gone with Hallblithe, a fair young man of your kindred, and with the Hostage of the Rose, his troth- plight maiden?"
2565Spake the voice:"Why cometh not the fool to the man that may not go to him?"
2565Tell me therefore( and I ask no more of you), is there any rumour or memory of a way that cleaveth yonder mighty wall of rock to other lands?"
2565The Sea- eagle shook his head, and quoth he:"Art thou still seeking a dream?
2565The bidding of what lord or King wilt thou do, O Chieftain, that thou mayst eat thy meat in the morning and lie soft in thy bed in the evening?"
2565The old chieftain turned himself about and said"What hast thou seen?"
2565The sad man hung his head and spake:"Doth not some new trap abide us?
2565Then Hallblithe began, wondering at his voice as he spake:"Art thou a woman and my speech- friend?
2565Then Hallblithe flushed red and spake:"Knowest thou the Puny Fox?"
2565Then Hallblithe laughed and said:"Art thou nettled, fellow- in- arms, at the word of a woman who knoweth thee not?
2565Then Hallblithe said:"Art thou a Fox?
2565Then he came back again to the Sea- eagle, who said to him:"Son, what hast thou seen?"
2565Then he heard the Erne saying,"How now, Raven- son, wilt thou have the throne and the sitter therein, or wilt thou gainsay me once more?"
2565Then he laughed, as a hen cackles a long while, and then said:"What more wilt thou ask me?"
2565Then he said:"Hath a woman named the Hostage been brought hither of late days?
2565Then he said:"Were it not well if I were to seek that house- master of whom Fox spake?
2565Then he said:"Will ye hearken to the word of an evil man, a robber of the folks?"
2565Then said Hallblithe:"Hast thou verily gotten thy youth again, which thou badest me wish thee?"
2565Then said Hallblithe:"Wilt thou have me row, for I wot not whitherward to steer?"
2565Then said Hallblithe:"Wilt thou not slay me, O King, since thou wilt not do aught else?"
2565Then said one of them:''Which of all you maidens is the Hostage of the House of the Rose?''
2565Then said the Sea- eagle:"What have we yonder?"
2565Then she said:"Art thou verily Hallblithe?
2565Then spake the King, smiling upon him, as erst:"What wilt thou then?
2565Then stirred Hallblithe''s heart within him and he said:"O Eagle of the Sea, thou hast thy youth again: what then wilt thou do with it?
2565Then they all three bowed their heads in yea- say, and spake:"''Where is the Land?
2565Then they all three cried aloud and said:"Is this the Land?
2565Then was Hallblithe appeased somewhat; and he said:"Are there many women in the land?"
2565We shall wend it yet, The highway wet; For what is this That our bosoms kiss?
2565What art thou, O Warrior, in the land of the alien and the King?
2565What do we here?
2565What field have ye looked on, what acres unshorn?
2565What guests are these From over the seas?
2565What is it I have said or done?"
2565What is thy will with him?"
2565What know I?
2565What land have ye left where the battle- folk gathers, And the war- helms are white o''er the paths of the corn?
2565What lieth sweet Before our feet?
2565What luck may an outworn elder have?"
2565What more canst thou have than the Gifts of the land?"
2565What sayest thou?"
2565What sayest thou?"
2565What seas are o''er- high For the undoomed to die?
2565What then?
2565What token hath come To lead us home?
2565What wilt thou do?
2565What would he with us?"
2565Whence are ye and whither, O fowl of our fathers?
2565Where is the Land?"
2565Where is the Land?"
2565Where is the land?"
2565Where now shall be the alien shores before thee, and the landing for fame, and departure for the gain of goods?
2565Whither away?"
2565Who be these whom ye have brought hither for the increase of our joy?
2565Who beateth the door By the foot- smitten floor?
2565Who is this tall, ruddy- faced, joyous man so meet for the bliss of the Glittering Plain?
2565Who liveth, who dieth?
2565Whose thrall art thou now, thou lifter of the spoil, thou scarer of the freeborn?
2565Why am I come hither with thy furtherance?"
2565Why do they not sit down in their places, and abide the bringing in of the meat?
2565Why dost thou stand as if thy fair feet were grown to the grass?"
2565Why should not I go, since there are men to bear me aboard?"
2565Why should they not have come to Cleveland also?"
2565Will any man speak to the new comer?"
2565Will they slay us, or shut us up from the light and air?
2565Wilt thou come over the waters with me?"
2565Wilt thou fight here in boat, O Fox?"
2565Wilt thou hearken?"
2565Wilt thou not come thither with me and rest thee to- night; and to- morrow we will talk of this matter?"
2565Wilt thou not help me?"
2565Wilt thou not weary for the moonlit main, and the washing of waves and the dashing of spray, and thy fellows all glistening with the brine?
2565Wilt thou then dwell with me here, or shall we go back again to Cleveland by the Sea?
2565Wouldst thou have me wish thee youth?"
2565Yea, why is the earth fair and fruitful, and the heavens kind above it, if thou comest not to- night, nor to- morrow, nor the day after?
2565am I death- doomed this morning that this sight cometh so clearly upon me amidst the falseness of this unchanging land?"
2565am I not with thee?
2565and am I not alone in this sea- girt wilderness?
2565and how this was to be the prize of battle, that the vanquished should serve the vanquisher year- long, and do all his will?
2565and why should not this matter of the book be one of the things that hath befallen her?
2565art thou also dead that thou hast a grave here?"
2565burned, and drowned, and slain and died abed?
2565is it such as a dead man may do?"
2565is this aught save death?"
2565now am I of that woful company, and I also must needs cry out, Where is the land?
2565said Hallblithe,"dost thou deem that aught save my sword will speak to thee?"
2565said Hallblithe;"art thou not a robber of the sea, a harrier of the folks that dwell in peace?"
2565said Hallblithe;"may I see him?"
2565said the Sea- eagle,"wilt thou then hinder us perforce?"
2565said the elder;"what one?
2565shall I be less than thy brother- in- arms henceforward?"
2565though I am thy thrall, have I not the look of a thrall- huckster from over sea leading up my wares to the cheaping- stead?"
2565who should it be but the Puny Fox?
2565why hast thou not gone forward to look upon the land?
2565wilt thou be a sluggard on the day of thy wedding?
2565wilt thou eat?"
2565ye ride early this morning; are there foemen abroad in the Isle?"
5894''Bout fifty-- did I?
5894A tiger you shot, was it, or just-- a tiger?
5894About fifty, I think, you mentioned?
5894About what?
5894All right,she said at once,"same as usual, I suppose?"
5894And do things over and over again-- sort of double-- and no hurry?
5894And does it matter much?
5894And does n''t wear out or stain, does it?
5894And how often,came the rebuke, automatically rather,"has your Mother told you_ not_ to be familiar with the Gardener?
5894And is it a big wood?
5894And look at the colour, will you?
5894And me?
5894And me?
5894And old?
5894And that''s why it''s shy,the man held them to the main point,"and dislikes showing itself--""But why is its game lonely?"
5894And the wetter it got the more the man got frightened; for the island was dreadfully tiny and--"Why, please, did it get wetter and wetter?
5894And then, and then? 5894 And then,"she asked,"what happened next?"
5894And this little person,one of these inquisitive, interfering visitors would ask, smiling fatuously;"how old is she, I wonder?"
5894And what d''you think?
5894And what sort of a day would it be, then, this Extra Day of yours?
5894And when, pray?
5894And you are going on to--?
5894And you call yourself an Officer of the Law?
5894And you eat anything?
5894And you get up when you''re ready, do n''t you?
5894Anyhow he gets about, does n''t he?
5894Are we going right?
5894Aunty, what''s yours? 5894 But are we to look for him, or he for us?"
5894But do n''t you see? 5894 But do you realise what it means?"
5894But everything must come from somewhere, must n''t it?
5894But how do you know the time?
5894But how on earth did you know? 5894 But it''s only the beginning, is n''t it?"
5894But what''s the good of being alive, even like a daisy, unless others know it--_us_, for instance?
5894But what_ did_ it whisper?
5894But who knows it?
5894But you''ve seen it since, have n''t you? 5894 But-- but it''s got to be plucked and cleaned and cooked first, has n''t it?"
5894Butter or honey?
5894Can he get small, then-- like that?
5894Care to see The Times, William?
5894Coming back?
5894Could know that daisies are alive?
5894Could n''t none of them swim or anything?
5894D''you hear that curious sound?
5894D''you mean that may stop it coming?
5894D''you think Uncle Felix knows anything? 5894 D''you think he''s offended?"
5894D''you understand what''s happened?
5894Did he call us bonny little ones?
5894Did it tell the others?
5894Did n''t I tell you''tender and beautiful,''and''bang out in the open''?
5894Did n''t I tell you?
5894Did n''t_ you?_There was pain in her voice in addition to blank astonishment.
5894Did she mend your clothes and things-- and love to care for you?
5894Did the butter give itself to you as well as the chicken?
5894Did they hear it?
5894Did you hear it?
5894Did you hear them?
5894Did you notice it this morning?
5894Did_ you_ wind it up?
5894Do n''t other countries smell, then?
5894Do pigs really see the wind, as Daddy says?
5894Do you remember when we first met each other, and you looked into my opening eyes?
5894Do you take sugar, please?
5894Does n''t he, Tim?
5894Eh?
5894Exactly,he repeated cautiously, yet with some great emotion working in him,"what is a calendar?
5894Found any?
5894Found anything?
5894From?
5894Good- evening,remarked Maria;"are you warm?"
5894Got a handkerchief with you?
5894Had n''t you better change first?
5894Happy as what?
5894Has he passed this way? 5894 Has it lost its breath?"
5894Have you ever seen a rabbit come_ out_ of its hole?
5894Have you got a tail, too?
5894Have you really?
5894He could n''t have got up a tree, could he, or into a bird''s nest?
5894Headache?
5894Hiding, is he?
5894Hiding?
5894How could it?
5894How could it?
5894How did you guess that I was looking for anything?
5894How do you know?
5894How do you spell it?
5894How else can I climb up?
5894How ever did you find it out?
5894How on earth did you manage it?
5894How? 5894 However did you get it-- in there?"
5894I mean, could any one tell you were English by your smell?
5894I should n''t be surprised, would you?
5894Into Mrs. Horton''s kitchen?
5894Is everything all right?
5894Is it a clean one?
5894Is it really_ that_?
5894Is that all?
5894Is that all?
5894Is there?
5894It never ends, you mean?
5894It was to be your particular adventure, was n''t it?
5894It would never end, of course, for one thing, would it? 5894 It''ll go on to- morrow night?"
5894It''s a snail shell-- er-- I believe?
5894It''s all right?
5894It''s what did they_ do?_ And who thought of it first?
5894It''s what did they_ do?_ And who thought of it first?
5894It_ is_ a woman, then?
5894Like laughter, is n''t it?
5894Listen, will ye? 5894 Looking, are you?"
5894Lost something, have you?
5894Mis- laid, eh?
5894Mis- laid?
5894Must n''t it?
5894No, Bridget?
5894No?
5894Of course,Tim helped him unexpectedly;"and a man ca n''t be a woman, can it?"
5894Oh, I say, Weeden, how do you know? 5894 On a tiny little island called Ingland, who was very lonely because he was the only human being on it--""Were n''t there animals and things too?"
5894On purpose?
5894Once?
5894Only you ca n''t remember what it looks like quite?
5894Oo calls me orl that?
5894Or Weeden?
5894Or p''r''aps it''s_ somebody_, d''you think?
5894See it?
5894Shall we break_ both_ legs?
5894So long ago that the chalk cliffs of England still lay beneath the sea--"Was Aunt Emily alive then?
5894So you came out?
5894So you''re in your eighth year, are you?
5894So you''re looking too?
5894Some one must have made it-- some day-- mustn''t they?
5894Some one very wonderful?
5894Something_ is_ coming,affirmed Judy in an undertone for the twentieth time,"but_ I_ think it will be after tea, do n''t you?"
5894That all?
5894The chickin?
5894The clock-- or the day, Uncle?
5894The milk and stuff?
5894Then is your heart still burning, Uncle Felix?
5894Then what''s an orgully occasion?
5894Then what_ is_ a daisy? 5894 Then, what kind of a day_ would_ you choose, Maria?
5894There lived a man in a very small, queer little island called Ingland, spelt''Ing,''not''Eng,''who--"It was n''t_ our_ England, then?
5894They know everything first, of course,said Uncle Felix aloud;"they''re up so early, are n''t they?"
5894They''ll be as good as gold-- won''t you, Judy?
5894They_ are_ alive,she asked that afternoon,"are n''t they?
5894This morning, was n''t it?
5894Time always prevents, does n''t it? 5894 To- morrow morning?"
5894Two lumps?
5894Uncle?
5894Was it long ago? 5894 Was n''t it, Judy?"
5894Was the elephant friendly?
5894We can fill it with anything we like?
5894Well,he continued,"what''s the good of them until you_ think_ something about them-- think them into something-- some game or meaning or other?
5894Were their lives_ very_ dull?
5894Were they friendly? 5894 What can yer igspect when a Radical govunment''s in?"
5894What d''you think?
5894What did it whisper?
5894What did the mouse do? 5894 What do_ you_ think about it?"
5894What does he really look like? 5894 What has he done?"
5894What has he done?
5894What in the world made you first think of it?
5894What is he then, I''d like to know?
5894What is it, Uncle?
5894What is it? 5894 What is it?"
5894What is it?
5894What is it_ really_--the Night- Wind?
5894What is your sadness?
5894What made you guess?
5894What more d''you want, I''d like to know? 5894 What sort of coat was it?
5894What time was it?
5894What''s become of it? 5894 What''s he done?"
5894What''s on?
5894What''s up?
5894What''s_ he_ come for?
5894What?
5894What?
5894What?
5894What?
5894What_ did_ he say, then-- the old Smiler?
5894What_ is_ your secret, Maria?
5894When did it stop, I ask you, Tim?
5894When did it stop?
5894When will it begin?
5894Where are you now? 5894 Where is he?"
5894Where we all come from, did you say?
5894Where_ does_ England come from?
5894Wherever has he got to?
5894Which is--?
5894Which means--?
5894Which road did he take?
5894Which way, do_ you_ think?
5894Which way? 5894 Who in the world can make it look as you do?
5894Who is it?
5894Who, then, did you promise-- whom, I mean?
5894Why into his left ear?
5894Why is n''t there a day- wind too?
5894Why not? 5894 Why not?
5894Why not? 5894 Why not?"
5894Why not?
5894Why not?
5894Why not?
5894Why, why, why?
5894Why?
5894Why?
5894Why_ does_ a butterfly fly so dodgy?
5894Will you come with us and look too?
5894Will you have tea and coffee, or milkhotwaterandsugar?
5894William, you''re not going to bed, are you?
5894Wings?
5894Wonderful moment,--dawn, ai n''t it, General?
5894Would n''t you, William?
5894YOU know wot I mean, do n''t yer, missie?
5894Yes, but it is a woman, is n''t it?
5894Yes, but where does everything come from?
5894Yes?
5894You never, never grow old, do you?
5894You said,continued Uncle Felix, in a voice of deadly quiet,"that the man you wanted had a wig of hair and a beard-- a false beard?"
5894You say the man you want to find is old and ragged and looks like a tramp?
5894You see what it all means-- this strange stopping of the clock-- at Dawn?
5894You see what''s happened?
5894You were on an elephant, then?
5894You wound it?
5894You''ll come back with us?
5894You''re very hungry, are n''t you?
5894You_ have_ seen him, then?
5894_ From?_she repeated.
5894_ Why_ do you know nothing?
5894_ You_ was the singer, was you?
5894An overcoat or just an ordinary one that smelt?
5894And I hate biscuits, and ginger makes me hot and ill--""Iller than you are already?"
5894And I ought to know, because, as I say, I lived with it for days--""Inside it?"
5894And have your dinner in your room, and a warm drink just before going to sleep?
5894And what signs have you got?"
5894And what''s the prize?"
5894And why, in the name of goodness, could n''t they all agree about it?
5894At least,_ he_ thought so...."And the tiger?"
5894But did you ever see such a snail shell in your lives before?
5894But how?
5894But we heard--"he broke off in the middle of the sentence--"That_ was_ you singing, was n''t it?"
5894But what--?
5894But why do they all shut up at night?
5894But, of course, you never get tired out?"
5894CHAPTER XIV MARIA STIRS"Uncle,"he began with a rush lest his courage should forsake him,"where does everything come from?
5894Ca n''t you tell me?"
5894Ca n''t_ you_ help?
5894Come- Back Stumper chuckled audibly, but Uncle Felix asked at once--"And you, WEEDEN?
5894Did he give you anything?"
5894Did he love them awfully?"
5894Did they thank the rabbit?"
5894Did you hear''em?
5894Do n''t you see?
5894Eh?"
5894Everything and everybody in the whole wide world is looking, but the signs are different for everybody, do n''t you see?
5894Everything in the world, I mean?"
5894Everything would be all right, do n''t you see?"
5894For a long time--""That was the bananas tickling him, I suppose?"
5894For what explanation could there possibly be of that?
5894Hark, Alfred, d''ye hear that singing far away?"
5894Has Uncle Felix given you the moon or rolled the sun and stars into a coloured ball?"
5894Has n''t he?"
5894Have you seen any one?"
5894He began forthwith:"Once, very long ago--""How long?"
5894He could make a selection-- choose those he liked best, and leave the others-- couldn''t he?
5894He did not doubt as they did:"Oh, Judy, where?"
5894He paused, then added:"Have you seen a man about?"
5894He repeated instead:"However could it?"
5894He said furiously,"How are you, creatures?"
5894He''s simply beautiful, and he''s_ got no beard at all!_""And he''s your brother, is he?"
5894Here, Maria, pick up my wool, darling, will you?"
5894His expression suggested"Why_ are_ you so noisy and enormous?
5894How can you let them burn?"
5894How could he live without furniture, house, regular meals-- without possessions, in a word?
5894How could it be otherwise?
5894How could the sea have anything to do with it?
5894How had they missed it up till now?
5894How long?"
5894How?"
5894However did you escape?
5894I dressed-- rushed out-- and--""Had it laid an egg?"
5894I lived in its cave with the cubs and other things, half- eaten deer and cows and the bones of Hindus--""Were the bones black?
5894I mean-- shall we recognise him?"
5894I wonder what it comes from?"
5894I wonder what it''s up to?"
5894I''m-- that is, my cold is too bad to play a game, but I''ll tell you a story about-- er-- about a tiger-- if you like?"
5894IT saved them, then?"
5894Is it any wonder that Time bothers us in the way it does-- always time to do this, or time to do that, or not time enough to finish, and so on?"
5894Is that it?"
5894Is that where you got_ your_ song from?"
5894Is that why--?"
5894It is n''t where we come from, But why should we appear?
5894It was an unexpected sort of question:"Do you know what it is we want?"
5894It was infinitely bigger than her original question,"Why?"
5894It was the most extraordinary tiger that was ever known--""In India?"
5894It went about so quickly, too, that they could n''t catch hold of it and--""But have_ you_ seen it?"
5894It''s awfully shy--""Why is it awfully shy?"
5894It''s just an invention of scientific men to measure the passing of-- Time, you see?"
5894It''s really inexplicable, Extr''ordinary, queer: Why_ should_ we come and talk a bit, And then-- just disappear?
5894It''s so beautiful that it makes you wonder, and it''s so mysterious that it makes you--""What?"
5894It''s still in the world, is n''t it?"
5894It_ might_ be true, but--"Hide- and- seek?"
5894Judy repeated the word after him immediately; it was obvious; why had n''t she thought of it herself?
5894Listen, will you?"
5894Maria was round; why did n''t they dance round her?
5894Maria''s question entered the dream of the entire garden:"Why not?
5894Mother looked up from her knitting with a gentle smile and said,"Does it, darling?
5894On his return from London every evening the first thing he asked was,"What have you all been up to to- day?
5894Out of the breathless silence sprang a voice at once:"Was the elephant badly hurt?"
5894See what I mean?"
5894See?"
5894See?"
5894See?"
5894THE COMMON SIGNS V"But has he called yet?"
5894The thing is, shall we play hide- and- seek, or would you really rather go to bed, as Mother said, and have dinner and hot drinks?"
5894Their minds went questioning at once:"What_ is_ a calendar?"
5894Then Judy asked, still more timidly:"I say, Tim?"
5894There was an interval of some thirty seconds, and then Tim asked:"But who thought_ him_?"
5894There''d be no time?"
5894They do n''t go of theirselves, do they?"
5894They''re plain enough, are they not?"
5894Uncle Felix and Judy had been wonderful, but--"Did you see him blink,"said Tim,"when Judy went up and gave it him hot?"
5894Was it the risk of staining that he meant?
5894Was n''t it, perhaps, that they looked in different ways-- all for the same thing?
5894Was that the only pocket in it?"
5894Were they all after the same thing, or after a lot of different things?
5894What about yourself, I wonder?"
5894What could it be-- this very, very wonderful thing?
5894What country, please?"
5894What did it mean?
5894What did it mean?...
5894What did the squirrel whisper in his good right ear?
5894What do you say to a turn of hide- and- seek?
5894What had happened?
5894What happened next?
5894What is a daisy?
5894What is it really?"
5894What is it?"
5894What is it?''"
5894What is your little trouble?"
5894What was it all about?
5894What was it?
5894What was the best thing to be done?
5894What was the meaning of it all?
5894What was the use of dancing unless there was something to dance round?
5894What were they after?
5894What were they?
5894What''s that?"
5894What''s yours, Aunty?"
5894What_ is_ your secret?
5894Whatever in the world--?"
5894When Daddy enquired how the asparagus was doing, he obtained for reply,"Wo n''t you come and see it for yourself, sir?"
5894Where was he?
5894Where-- when-- had they seen him groping before like that, almost on all fours?
5894Who asked you in?"
5894Who--"she changed the word--"what closes them?"
5894Why ask these terrible questions?
5894Why beat it?
5894Why did n''t the tiger eat you?"
5894Why not, indeed?
5894Why not?
5894Why not?
5894Why not?
5894Why not?"
5894Why not?"
5894Why not?"
5894Why not?..."
5894Why pick it?
5894Why should n''t I take a turn in the garden too?"
5894Why should we be here?
5894Without a moment''s hesitation he flung his arms out, let the pipe fall from his lips, and-- burst into song: Why should there be anything?
5894Would all die before they found it?
5894Would they never know?
5894You know who it is?"
5894You said too,--just now-- something about-- a sign, I think?"
5894You''ve got a secret-- haven''t you?"
5894_ That''s_ your secret, I expect, is n''t it?"
5894_ Why?_ They had never thought of Why there should be anything.
5894and Judy exclaimed"Did you really?"
5894asked Judy carefully--"exactly?"
5894asked Maria blandly,"or just his neck?"
5894cried the Policeman, laughing rudely,"and he jest wears all that get- up for fun, do n''t he?"
5894he asked gently,"very early?"
5894he asked in a whisper,"the dawn, I mean?
5894he asked softly,"and why do you put such questions to me now?
5894he observed,"singing and laughing mixed together?"
5894he whispered:"I felt it had a message for me-- brought_ me_ a message-- something to tell me--""Round its neck or foot?"
5894inquired Tim,"anything you can, I mean?"
5894inquired the boy,"or butter and honey?"
5894said Stumper impatiently;"see what it is?"
5894she asked kindly,"or would you like to, perhaps?
5894she asked,"or one?"
5894they asked gravely;"and why does it sound so_ very_ different from the wind in the morning or the afternoon?"
