10806 | ''Who are you?'' |
10806 | And Rold knew nothing that he had done in his sleep, and looked in amazement at the sword in his hand and said:''What art thou, thou beautiful thing? |
10806 | And Rold said:''What should a man do with the sword of Welleran?'' |
10806 | And Rold said:''What should a man do with the sword of Welleran?'' |
10806 | And all the people wondered at Rold as he sat there with the sword in his hand muttering,''What should a man do with the sword of Welleran?'' |
10806 | And another question came down the line of footmen:''What is your name?'' |
10806 | And the Oldest of the Wild Things said to it:''What have we to do with God? |
10806 | And they went on and stood before the great red cloak of Welleran, and the child said:''Why did Welleran wear this great red cloak?'' |
10806 | And who shall say what hath befallen in the days of long ago? |

10337 | Oh, Silvia, are you not wilful and cunning? 10337 What have you done with Mrs. Tebrick, sir? |
10337 | What is now to become of me? 10337 What is this, Silvia?" |
10337 | Where are your children, Silvia? |
10337 | Am I not dreaming?" |
10337 | And had she not always found him a good husband to her? |
10337 | And has he not reason for his pride? |
10337 | And he asked her, were they not married? |
10337 | And then speaking to her in this manner:"Are you not ashamed, Silvia, to be such a madcap, such a wicked hoyden? |
10337 | And where is she now, sir?" |
10337 | Are you a monster in your soul as well as in your body? |
10337 | Are you trying to escape from me? |
10337 | At 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?" |
10337 | Aye, indeed, what would become of his vixen and her children? |
10337 | But 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? |
10337 | But then, catching her grave look, he would say:"Do you think I jest on these things, my dear? |
10337 | Can a man have his honour sullied by a beast? |
10337 | Can my dignity allow of my being jealous of a beast? |
10337 | Cork?" |
10337 | Could he still love her after that? |
10337 | Does not this butchery and eating of raw meat and rabbit''s fur disgust you? |
10337 | Firstly he asked himself: Was not his wife unfaithful to him, had she not prostituted herself to a beast? |
10337 | For he asked himself also:"Was he not jealous?" |
10337 | Have you forgotten what it is to be a woman?" |
10337 | He called to her then, saying:"Silvia, Silvia, why do you do this? |
10337 | I 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? |
10337 | Is it such torment to be with me?" |
10337 | May she not have thought it easier to change him thus than ever to change herself back into being a woman? |
10337 | So 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? |
10337 | What do you do there?" |
10337 | What dreadful change is this?" |
10337 | What if they were foxes? |
10337 | When 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?" |
10337 | When he was outside, however, he asked Mr. Tebrick:"You do n''t have many visitors now, eh?" |
10337 | Where does she live?" |
10337 | Why are you so savage now? |
10337 | he 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?'' |
510 | A 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? |
510 | At length he said:''Are you content?'' |
510 | Besides, why should I commit myself? |
510 | Dwyer having exchanged a significant glance with O''Mara, said slightly to Lady Emily:''Will your ladyship excuse me for a moment? |
510 | Had the old man vanished, or was he lurking about the recesses of the lobby for some bad purpose? |
510 | Have I rightly been informed that you have contemptuously rejected the suit and hand of my son Edward?'' |
510 | Is that liberal?'' |
510 | May I depend upon your HONOUR that no word touching the subject of this interview shall ever escape you?'' |
510 | Must I?'' |
510 | She 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? |
510 | Upon these points you can, of course, satisfy me without difficulty?'' |
510 | What can he want of me? |
510 | What do you think of that? |
510 | What had I to do with Schalken, or Schalken with me? |
510 | When 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?'' |
510 | Will you give me-- do not refuse it-- one little lock of your beautiful hair?'' |
510 | have I not a tender chicken to manage? |
510 | not 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?'' |
8395 | And 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?" |
8395 | Nor 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? |
8395 | What should the wind care for the hours of calm or thou for death? 8395 When the wind blows not, where, then, is the wind? |
8395 | Will 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?" |
8395 | And Mung stepped from behind him, making the sign of Mung, saying:"Knowest thou All Things, then, Alhireth- Hotep?" |
8395 | And down the wind his prayer went calling:"Why do the gods endure, and play their game with men? |
8395 | And the gods said:"What is love?" |
8395 | And the gods said:"What is rich?" |
8395 | And 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?" |
8395 | But Mung said:"Shall a man curse a god?" |
8395 | But Mung said:"Shall a man curse a god?" |
8395 | But the gods of Pegana, speaking to the gods, say:"What is it that Dorozhand would fain achieve?" |
8395 | But the other gods said one to another, speaking with their hands:"What is it that Kib has done?" |
8395 | Do bullocks goad one another on whom the same yoke rests? |
8395 | For is it not written, or are you greater than Kib? |
8395 | Hast thou bewailed the aeons that passed without thee, who art so much afraid of the aeons that shall pass?" |
8395 | I was only a shepherd, and how should I have known? |
8395 | Or does he set to end?" |
8395 | Roon saith in a whisper, in a whisper when none heareth, when the sun is low:"What doeth MANA- YOOD- SUSHAI?" |
8395 | Shall I, who am their prophet, tell the people this? |
8395 | Shall he not again behold the gardens of his youth? |
8395 | Shall not I say:"Upon The Morrow the gods shall speak with thee as thou restest upon Pegana?" |
8395 | Shalt thou be angry while they stand so serene? |
8395 | That 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? |
8395 | The King said unto the prophet:"O Prophet of All the gods save One, shall I indeed die?" |
8395 | Then called the High Prophets:"What knowest thou Imbaun?" |
8395 | Then called the High Prophets:"What seest thou, Imbaun?" |
8395 | Then in great fear answered the High Prophet, saying:"What if the gods be angry and whelm Sidith?" |
8395 | Then said Imbaun:"What knoweth the Prophet of the gods? |
8395 | Then said the prophet:"How shall I tell the people that the gods have not spoken and their prophet doth not know? |
8395 | These be the words of the prophet that he wrote in his book:"I said:''Who art thou that bemoans beside the river?'' |
8395 | What, then, shall avail the prayers of All the People? |
8395 | Who knows?" |
8395 | Who knows?" |
8395 | Why doth not Skarl forsake his drumming, and MANA cease to rest?" |
8395 | Yet what mercy should the small gods have, who themselves made Death and Pain; or shall they restrain their old hound Time for thee? |
8395 | and the echo of seven deserts answered:"Who knows? |
7838 | And there he grows lean? |
7838 | And why are the people glad that they have gone? |
7838 | And why,I asked,"do you laugh at serious work?" |
7838 | And you? |
7838 | And you? |
7838 | Be dakeon para Thina poluphloisboio Thalassaes,murmured the angel, for they walked by the sea,"and can you destroy that too?" |
7838 | But at this time of year? |
7838 | But they say, do they not? |
7838 | Do you never rest from doing this terrible work? |
7838 | For a bet? |
7838 | Have you not done my work? 7838 Have you not put out the Moon? |
7838 | Have you not slain the Dinatherium? |
7838 | He changes the way he builds his house, does he not? |
7838 | How can you reconcile it with your conscience as a Minister of Grace,I said,"to inflict such a punishment?" |
7838 | How ever do you do it? |
7838 | Is it true that he can not live many centuries? |
7838 | Is it true what they say? |
7838 | Is it usual in June? |
7838 | Is there any change in the way you build your houses? |
7838 | It wo n''t be as bad as the old hell, will it? |
7838 | Might we make so bold, sir,he said,"as the ask the way to Stonehenge?" |
7838 | Sunk at sea? |
7838 | That song new? |
7838 | They say he takes much to cities? |
7838 | What are you up to now? |
7838 | What is it? |
7838 | What is your message? |
7838 | Whatever is the use of it? |
7838 | When have I ever forgotten you? |
7838 | When will the fields come back and the grass for my children? |
7838 | Who are these men? |
7838 | Who are you? |
7838 | Who are you? |
7838 | Who says it? |
7838 | Who told you he will not die? |
7838 | Why do they steal away? |
7838 | Why were you a demagogue? |
7838 | And is not Nineveh gone? |
7838 | And some of them turned to the backers of the Tortoise and said:"What about your beast now?" |
7838 | And"Well, old servant,"he said,"have your masters been kind to you since I made you work for me round Ilion?" |
7838 | But they had the message, and what care the Muses? |
7838 | Did I not throw down Babylon for you? |
7838 | Have you not checked their laughter and their accursed mirth? |
7838 | Have you not put apart the couples that would dance? |
7838 | Have you not worn my livery of black? |
7838 | How should they know? |
7838 | I said:"Who are those?" |
7838 | Was Helen very lovely? |
7838 | When are they weary? |
7838 | When are they weary? |
7838 | When are they weary? |
7838 | When will the Muses rest? |
7838 | When will the Muses rest? |
7838 | When will the Muses rest? |
7838 | Where Tarshish and Tyre? |
7838 | Where is Persepolis that troubled you? |
7838 | he said,"or when forsaken you ever? |
7838 | they asked,"far- travelled wonderful ship?" |
8183 | For at the last, O prophet, what is left? 8183 O King, wouldst thou hear more?" |
8183 | And 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?" |
8183 | And Snyrg replied:"Ye, too?" |
8183 | And Yarni Zai called out:"What dost thou, running across my world?" |
8183 | And 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?" |
8183 | And 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?" |
8183 | And have not flowers when spring was over died in the gardens of many children? |
8183 | And if they ask thee''whither bound?'' |
8183 | And leaning forward They cried out to the bat as he passed up and down:"Bat that seest all things, where is the golden ball?" |
8183 | And the King answered:"If one sit upon this throne whom men call King Ebalon, who then shall I be?" |
8183 | And the King said,"Is Time then here?" |
8183 | And the King said:"Art thou, too, a prophet?" |
8183 | And the King said:"Is he further than my heralds might travel in the night if they went upon fleet horses?" |
8183 | And the King said:"Knowest_ thou_ aught concerning the journey of the King?" |
8183 | And the King said:"Where lie the days that were and certain hours?" |
8183 | And the King said:"Who art thou that knowest so much and has not told it?" |
8183 | And the King said:"Zornadhu, what of the journey of the King and of the princes and the people that shall meet me?" |
8183 | And 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?" |
8183 | And the Lives-- who knoweth the gods of Old or what Their will shall be? |
8183 | And the gods said:"Dreamed we of one Althazar?" |
8183 | And the gods said:"Sardathrion? |
8183 | And the oldest of the gods said:"Sardathrion, Sardathrion, and is Sardathrion gone?" |
8183 | And the people coming to worship said:"Whose was this robe and to what purpose is this crown?" |
8183 | And the people of the City by the River, seeing him far off, cried out:"Hast thou found the Secret of the gods?" |
8183 | And the prophet answered:"Have not tears enough burst in the night time out of sleeping cities? |
8183 | And who amid the dusty heap of the forgotten days shall grovel to find thy yesterday?" |
8183 | At last They mocked no more at life and laughed at death no more, and cried aloud in Pegana:"Will no new thing be? |
8183 | But the poet said:"Canst thou be angry with these beautiful white bones?" |
8183 | Have 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? |
8183 | Have there not been conquests and bitter defeats? |
8183 | Have there not been hopes, and were they all fulfilled? |
8183 | It chanced, or was ordained( who knoweth which?) |
8183 | Or thou shalt hail them saying:''From what port?'' |
8183 | Sardathrion, the marble city? |
8183 | Shall we now seek these gods?" |
8183 | Then answered Snyrg:"Ye also, have ye a god?" |
8183 | Then 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?" |
8183 | Then said the Yozis:"Hath Agrodaun answered prayer?" |
8183 | Then said the Yozis:"Of what avails it that we be gods if no one worship us nor give us sacrifice?" |
8183 | Then said the gods:"Spake we of Althazar, a King?" |
8183 | Then spake Snyrg to them:"Have ye, too, a god?" |
8183 | Then( who knoweth when? |
8183 | There thou shalt hear a voice cry feebly:"Inyani, Inyani, lord of the thunder, where art thou, for I can not see?" |
8183 | Thou, the slave of the gods?" |
8183 | Thou, thou hast overthrown it? |
8183 | To whom then dost thou speak by strange signs at evening above the world?" |
8183 | What careth Yahn? |
8183 | What is this new cry that the gods have never commanded, yet which comes to the ears of the gods?" |
8183 | What prophet shall relate how many journeys thou shalt make or how many encampments? |
8183 | Who are the true gods?" |
509 | Maybe your honour i d wish to have a word with Father Murphy? |
509 | Why, you ignorant spalpeen,says he,"you mane, niggarly ignoramush,"says he,"where did you lave your manners?" |
509 | ''"An''why not in the hall?" |
509 | ''"I hope,"says my father,"your honour''s not unasy about the killin''iv him?" |
509 | ''"REST my honour?" |
509 | ''"Sure it''s impossible,"says my father,"it''s gettin''sleepy you are?" |
509 | ''And what may be your father''s name, my poor child?'' |
509 | ''And who the devil are you, that DARES to object?'' |
509 | ''Do you object, Mr. M''Donough? |
509 | ''Eh?'' |
509 | ''Fitzgerald!--can it be Fitzgerald the duellist?'' |
509 | ''Is there any hope?'' |
509 | ''May I ask his name?'' |
509 | ''My dear O''Connor, are you mad?'' |
509 | ''Oh I my child, my child, my darlin'',''she sobbed,''are you gone from me? |
509 | ''Pat, darling, where are you going?'' |
509 | ''Shall I, by----? |
509 | ''Well, doctor,''said O''Connor, after the examination of the wound was over;''well, I shall do, sha n''t I?'' |
509 | ''Well,''exclaimed Lady Ardagh, as she re- entered,''is it not so?--do you still doubt?--do you think there is any hope?'' |
509 | ''When did you make his acquaintance?'' |
509 | ''Who says he fired in the air?'' |
509 | ''Why should I bid thee, Muse of Erin, waken? |
509 | ''Why will you seek to drive to a deadly issue a few hasty words, uttered under the influence of wine, and forgotten almost as soon as uttered? |
509 | ''You have made great haste,''said O''Connor;''did you find him at home?'' |
509 | ''You have not got a second coat on?'' |
509 | -----?'' |
509 | After a few moments Sir Robert said:''Ca n''t you send him away? |
509 | At length he said, slowly and painfully, as if he dreaded the answer:''In God''s name, what are you?'' |
509 | Can we wonder, then, at the immense popularity with which Samuel Lover recited it in the United States? |
509 | He 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? |
509 | I ca n''t endure this silence another week; What shall I do in order to make you speak? |
509 | I leave it to you, Which am I to do? |
509 | I turned to the captain, and said:''Surely, sir, there is some mistake in all this?'' |
509 | I''ll ever rest your debtor If you''ll answer my first letter; Or must, alas, eternity Witness your taciturnity? |
509 | Is there a hope for him? |
509 | M''Donough, is your principal ready?'' |
509 | May I request your answer?'' |
509 | O''Connor, if, indeed, it be a fair question, whether this Fitzgerald at any time attempted to engage you in anything like gaming?'' |
509 | Or say, I pray, Would a lay Like Gay Be more in your way? |
509 | Purcell, do you remember his features well? |
509 | Purcell,''he continued,''will you have the kindness to accompany me?'' |
509 | Shall I give you a trope In the manner of Pope, Or hammer my brains like an old smith To get out something like Goldsmith? |
509 | Shall I?'' |
509 | Was the dream verified?--whither had the disembodied spirit sped?--who can say? |
509 | What age, or what country of the world, has not and acknowledged the mystery of their origin and end? |
509 | What do you think of that? |
509 | Who could tell of the rejoicings that marked the evening of his return? |
509 | Who has not felt all this at one time or other? |
509 | Who has not mournfully felt it? |
509 | Why does he come so soon? |
509 | Why should I bid thee strike thy harp once more? |
509 | Will you be so obliging as to toss up a crown- piece, while I call?'' |
509 | and upon what grounds, if you please?'' |
509 | are you gone from me? |
509 | did not I tell you his name?'' |
509 | is it gone out of my power? |
509 | must I go back to the place?'' |
509 | or, is my soul pledged and promised away for ever? |
509 | says the sperit( fairly gettin''red in the face with the madness),"Rest my honour?" |
509 | shouted Fitzgerald;''and what d-- d presumption prompts you to DARE to wag your tongue here?'' |
509 | whither has the tide of civilisation borne us? |
509 | whither have we drifted? |
509 | who can describe the inveterate tenacity with which a drunkard''s habits cling to him through life? |
509 | who 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 | ''"In the name iv all the blessed saints in heaven,"says Thady,"who the divil are ye?" |
511 | ''"It''s jokin''you are,"says Terence, turnin''mighty pale;"how can an ould gandher be my father?" |
511 | ''"Who''s that, that dar to call me nicknames?" |
511 | ''An''did it make much noise?'' |
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?'' |
511 | At the far extremity a sentinel, as we approached, called out,''Who goes there? |
511 | Eh, my lads? |
511 | Have I said enough?'' |
511 | Have you often dealt with the military?'' |
511 | He said in a kind of whisper:''Hardress Fitzgerald?'' |
511 | I arose doggedly, and affecting the awkward movements of one whose hands were bound,''Well,''said I,''what would you of me? |
511 | I shall be your BLUEBEARD-- tush, why do I trifle thus? |
511 | I turned to the men who held me, and one after the other asked them, in their own language,''Why they held me?'' |
511 | Is there for thee, my country, a resurrection?'' |
511 | May he exhibit the goods he has for sale, an''t please you?'' |
511 | On the honour of a soldier, what is it to be?'' |
511 | Soolivan?'' |
511 | Tell me here, in the presence of God, did Lord Glenfallen marry you-- ACTUALLY MARRY you? |
511 | They 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? |
511 | What do you want of me?'' |
511 | What has he done to alarm you? |
511 | What have you brought him here for, sirra?'' |
511 | Where is Lord Glenfallen?'' |
511 | Where is thy chest, friend? |
511 | Why does the minx dilly- dally so?'' |
511 | Why, my dear, what is there wonderful in it? |
511 | You are not fatigued, love, I hope?'' |
511 | You''ll let him go free?'' |
511 | said I;''what has become of it?'' |
511 | says Andy;''what''s your name?'' |
511 | says Bonypart,''do you tell me so?'' |
511 | says Nell;''what''s all the noise for?'' |
511 | says he? |
511 | says she,''the oil, an''the wake, an''the berrin''?'' |
511 | says she;''had n''t you everything complate?'' |
511 | says 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?" |
511 | she said;''you wo n''t try him? |
40510 | ''Is there?'' 40510 And an elderly man, richly clad?" |
40510 | And are you going to swear away my life, you black- perjured murderer? |
40510 | And pray,added he quickly, while in turn he fixed his eyes upon me,"what did this person say? |
40510 | And what did she think of George Wilson''s appearance? |
40510 | And what may be your father''s name, my poor child? |
40510 | And what_ did_ you see and hear? |
40510 | Are you afraid of a title? 40510 Ay, ay, God help me,"echoed Barton sternly;"but_ will_ He help me? |
40510 | Ay, ay;''resist the devil, and he will flee from thee,''said Barton, in the same tone;"but_ how_ resist him? |
40510 | But where is the good or the harm of seeing him? 40510 But where-- where? |
40510 | But you have seen this person frequently,said the ecclesiastic;"why have you not accosted or secured him? |
40510 | Did you write that letter? |
40510 | Do you know, madam, to whom you speak? |
40510 | For God''s sake, Barton, what is the matter? |
40510 | Ha, ha, ha!--do you hear her? |
40510 | Has anything-- for God''s sake, is anything wrong? |
40510 | He said so, then? |
40510 | How do you know that she is a Dutchwoman? |
40510 | How long has this lady been here? |
40510 | I have the honour to see Mynher Vanderhausen, of Rotterdam? |
40510 | I heard the wind,said Doctor Macklin;"what should I think of it? |
40510 | Is that a man of trust? |
40510 | Is there a magistrate here? |
40510 | Is there any hope? |
40510 | 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?" |
40510 | My poor fellow, are you ill? |
40510 | Mynher Vanderhausen, from Rotterdam-- is it not so? |
40510 | Pat, darling, where are you going? |
40510 | Que veut, madame? |
40510 | There-- there, will that convince you? |
40510 | Well, dear, and what frightens you? |
40510 | Well, well, my dear,said my mother, impatiently;"do you know who Lord Glenfallen is?" |
40510 | Well, what do you think of_ that_? |
40510 | What can have terrified you so? |
40510 | What did he say? 40510 What does your ladyship wish to know?" |
40510 | What is it?--who-- where is your master? |
40510 | What is the matter, my good friend? |
40510 | What''s that? |
40510 | Where is it? |
40510 | Where is the black curtain that fell across the door, when I attempted first to come to my chamber? |
40510 | Who is it? |
40510 | Who? |
40510 | Whom have you there? |
40510 | Will you excuse me? |
40510 | You are not in love? |
40510 | You had no interruption from the next room? |
40510 | You wo n''t take him, then? |
40510 | You''re not hurt, are you? 40510 _ Him!_--who?--where?--when did you see him?--where is he?" |
40510 | A knife lay upon the table, and the terrible thought, struck me--"Should I kill this sleeping accomplice, and thus secure my retreat?" |
40510 | A 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? |
40510 | After a few moments Sir Robert said,--"Ca n''t you send him away? |
40510 | At last Barton whispered,"You saw it?" |
40510 | At length he said, slowly and painfully, as if he dreaded the answer,--"In God''s name, what are you?" |
40510 | At length he said:"Are you content?" |
40510 | Come, come, shall we go on?" |
40510 | Could we say as much of nine books out of ten?" |
40510 | Do not let it trouble your rest, Captain Barton; for, with a_ good conscience_, what need you fear from the eye of"THE WATCHER?" |
40510 | Had the old man vanished, or was he lurking about the recesses of the lobby for some bad purpose? |
40510 | Have I rightly been informed that you have contemptuously rejected the suit and hand of my son Edward?" |
40510 | How steep these stairs are, are they not? |
40510 | I shall be your_ Bluebeard_--tush, why do I trifle thus? |
40510 | Is that liberal?" |
40510 | May I depend upon your honour that no word touching the subject of this interview shall ever escape you?" |
40510 | May not all kinds of blunders and slips occur in their entries of names, and so forth?" |
40510 | Must I?" |
40510 | Tell me here, in the presence of God, did Lord Glenfallen marry you--_actually marry you_? |
40510 | Upon these points you can, of course, satisfy me without difficulty?" |
40510 | Was it that made_ you_, as well as me, hear, but this moment, those appalling accents of hell? |
40510 | Was the dream verified?--whither had the disembodied spirit sped? |
40510 | Was there a hope for him? |
40510 | What age, or what country of the world, has not felt and acknowledged the mystery of their origin and end? |
40510 | What can I do or say to relieve you?" |
40510 | What can he want of me? |
40510 | What do you think of that? |
40510 | What do you think of that? |
40510 | What had I to do with Schalken, or Schalken with me? |
40510 | What has he done to alarm you? |
40510 | What is it?" |
40510 | What is there remarkable about it?" |
40510 | What was it?" |
40510 | What--_what_ am I to do? |
40510 | What_ can_ I do?" |
40510 | Where is Lord Glenfallen?" |
40510 | Who can tell how meet he may have been in his young days to play the part of the lover or of the hero? |
40510 | Why does he come so soon? |
40510 | Why does the minx dilly- dally so?" |
40510 | Why, my dear, what is there wonderful in it? |
40510 | You are not fatigued, love, I hope?" |
40510 | You''ll let him go free?" |
40510 | do you hear_ that_?" |
40510 | have I not a tender chicken to manage? |
40510 | is it gone out of my power? |
40510 | must I go back to the place?" |
40510 | nor unwell? |
40510 | not much blood-- eh?" |
40510 | or is my soul pledged and promised away for ever? |
40510 | said I;"what has become of it?" |
40510 | said Norcott, greatly surprised;"who cares what the fellow said? |
40510 | she said;"you wo n''t try him? |
40510 | whither has the tide of civilization borne us? |
40510 | whither have we drifted? |
40510 | who can describe the inveterate tenacity with which a drunkard''s habits cling to him through life? |
40510 | who can say that in early life he had been the same harsh, unlicked, and rugged boor that, in his maturer age, he proved? |
40510 | who can say? |
40510 | will He help me?" |
16726 | A church? |
16726 | A type of life? |
16726 | And again, in this life, we have all three been together? |
16726 | And the dark man--? |
16726 | And the friend he--_I_ refused to betray? |
16726 | And the method? |
16726 | And the purpose? |
16726 | And the victim? |
16726 | And then? |
16726 | And what''s this rubbish the brutes have left? |
16726 | And you spoke to the man? |
16726 | And your luggage-- where is that? 16726 And-- to obtain this form or outline?" |
16726 | Bodies,he whispered softly,"actual bodies?" |
16726 | But this sentence? |
16726 | But where''s all the stuff you went away with? 16726 But why did you hide away so long? |
16726 | Can you explain such gibberish? |
16726 | Eh? 16726 Evocation?" |
16726 | For your experiment? |
16726 | He is so clever, is n''t he? |
16726 | I may see them? |
16726 | I went off easily? |
16726 | I? 16726 Is he an actor, a priest of some strange religion, an enquiry agent, or just-- a crank?" |
16726 | It has to do with-- with--? |
16726 | It might take actual shape-- assume a bodily form visible to the eye? |
16726 | It was there-- in the other region? |
16726 | Nothing but this hand- bag? |
16726 | Once roused and made aware? |
16726 | Only this? |
16726 | She saw nothing? |
16726 | She spoke? |
16726 | Some Body of belief, you surely mean? |
16726 | Then you are_ dead_? |
16726 | They exist as Powers-- unmanifested on the earth to- day? |
16726 | To be aware, you mean, is not sufficient? |
16726 | To help me_ now_? |
16726 | To what useful end? |
16726 | Was 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?" |
16726 | We 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? |
16726 | We saw you there-- in the Wadi Hof,put in Vance, suddenly breaking his long silence;"you too sleep out, then? |
16726 | What in the world is up with me? |
16726 | What is it that you know? |
16726 | What were you doing by the fire before you came here? |
16726 | What''s that you''re doing? |
16726 | What''s the matter? |
16726 | Who are you? 16726 Why do I spend my time sight- seeing, instead of going alone into the Desert as before? |
16726 | Why should I need more? |
16726 | Why? 16726 You go at night sometimes into the Desert?" |
16726 | You have no other luggage? |
16726 | You have-- brought them? |
16726 | You made out their shape at all, or outline? |
16726 | You saw them? |
16726 | You think it possible, then, to get into touch with these High Powers you speak of, Powers once manifested in common forms? |
16726 | You will let me know-- their message? |
16726 | A-- compass, did you say?" |
16726 | Again, beneath his breath, Henriot heard himself murmur-- his own voice startled him as he whispered it:"Actual bodily shape and outline?" |
16726 | And at midnight? |
16726 | And what had he to do with them? |
16726 | And who were they-- these two beings, standing on the white floor of sand below him? |
16726 | And why does another man now stand in my place? |
16726 | And, again, hidden swiftly behind it like a movement running below water--"What does he want with it? |
16726 | And-- have you brought nothing home-- no treasures?" |
16726 | Beginning with commonplaces, such as"You like Egypt? |
16726 | But by whom? |
16726 | But how can I help? |
16726 | But how? |
16726 | But 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?" |
16726 | But was he really properly awake? |
16726 | But was not something larger, vaster these particles composed now also on the way? |
16726 | But you paint, do n''t you? |
16726 | But, again, why should he? |
16726 | Come in, wo n''t you? |
16726 | Had he so soon forgotten that strange union of form and sound which once was known to the evocative rituals of olden days? |
16726 | How could he express the violent contradiction? |
16726 | How could his mind interpret an experience so long denied that the power of expression, as of comprehension, has ceased to exist? |
16726 | How should the sea take note of rubbish that lies above its tide- line?" |
16726 | How translate this symbolical representation, small detail though it was, of a transcendent worship entombed for most so utterly beyond recovery? |
16726 | I beg your pardon? |
16726 | I surely know you... but I have forgotten...?" |
16726 | I wondered"--he smiled again slightly at the nature of the request--"if-- by any chance-- you had a pocket compass you could lend me?" |
16726 | In his eagerness to hasten disclosure he interrupted--"And there may be types of life that have no corresponding bodily expression at all, then?" |
16726 | Is n''t that the case?" |
16726 | It happened to my niece, did n''t it, John?" |
16726 | It 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?" |
16726 | It went on for hours, while she lay terrified in bed--""Frightened, you say?" |
16726 | Jones?" |
16726 | Long watching and preparation on both sides had cleared the way for the ripening of acquaintance into confidence-- how long he dimly wondered? |
16726 | Looking back, he has often asked himself,"How in the world can I accept it?" |
16726 | On the skating- rink each Sunday the tourists regarded the natives as intruders; in the church the peasants plainly questioned:"Why do you come? |
16726 | Our conventional notion of a body-- what is it? |
16726 | Some kind of soul, alien to humanity, or to-- to any forms of living thing in the world to- day?" |
16726 | Tell me what you propose-- your plan?" |
16726 | The voice, the eyes, the near presence-- what did they bring that set his nerves thus asking unusual questions? |
16726 | This idea of mischief, almost of danger, in their purposes was oddly insistent; for what could possibly convey it? |
16726 | This strange impression that something grave was happening, something unearthly-- how was it born exactly? |
16726 | Was it his talent for drawing that they sought to use him for? |
16726 | Was that a sound at the back of the room? |
16726 | Was there not an observatory on the Mokattam Hills, too, where tourists could use the telescopes on privileged days? |
16726 | What d''ye say, eh?" |
16726 | What happened then? |
16726 | What has made me change?" |
16726 | What is the deeper motive he conceals? |
16726 | What is your name? |
16726 | What must I do?" |
16726 | What was it, then, that suddenly strengthened this solitary link so that the chain tautened and he felt the pull of it? |
16726 | What was the contrast that made the man seem beside her-- vile? |
16726 | What, then, could be the contents of the little brown parcel the professor had bequeathed to him with his pregnant dying sentences? |
16726 | Whence came this prodigious glad excitement in his heart, this sense of mighty Powers coaxed down to influence the very details of daily life? |
16726 | Whence came, too, the impression that she exercised some strong authority, though never directly exercised, that held him at her mercy? |
16726 | Where had he seen those eyes before? |
16726 | Where is the Body of Worshippers through whom it can manifest? |
16726 | Where should he go? |
16726 | Where, oh where in the echoing Past had he known this woman''s soul? |
16726 | Where? |
16726 | Who told you to--?" |
16726 | Who were they? |
16726 | Why did I see this? |
16726 | Why had Vance put that idea into his mind, this idea of so peculiar danger? |
16726 | Why in the world did he hesitate and shrink? |
16726 | Why not? |
16726 | Why should not a man want a compass? |
16726 | Why was it that the presence of this silent, watching personality in the chair beside him kept caution still alive, with warning close behind? |
16726 | You draw, I mean?" |
16726 | You find here what you expected?" |
16726 | You must have tons of it, I suppose?" |
16726 | You must not be too close--""Why not too close?" |
16726 | he began;"to fix it, rather?" |
16726 | he whispered, looking about him, as though to see who it was had joined them;"you mean a-- soul? |
43107 | And are the pigeons cooing? |
43107 | And how''s Mary? |
43107 | And shall I not see you till then? |
43107 | And then? |
43107 | And what about your basket of cones, then? |
43107 | And when will you come again? |
43107 | And where are you going to live, then? |
43107 | Are they thicker there? |
43107 | Are you intending to explore it and make wonderful discoveries? |
43107 | Are you sorry to go away? |
43107 | Are you sure you never heard of her before? |
43107 | Are you very sorry to say good- bye to them? |
43107 | As large as raindrops? |
43107 | At twelve o''clock,said Michael,"twelve exactly?" |
43107 | But Cinderella_ did_ forget,said Mary, laughing;"at least she only remembered_ just_ in time, did n''t she?" |
43107 | But it does mean,Mary persisted,"it must mean that this is fairy- land?" |
43107 | But still-- even if this is n''t fairy- land, it might be close to it? |
43107 | Can I have passed it? |
43107 | Cooies,she said softly,"dear Cooies, if it is you--_my_ Cooies-- that I heard just now-- do you know that I have come?" |
43107 | Could you not bear to go away yourself-- for a little while? |
43107 | Even in winter? |
43107 | Everywhere about here seems to have to do with the forest, does n''t it? |
43107 | Four_ what_, my dear? |
43107 | Godmother,she said,"may I spend to- morrow afternoon again in the forest? |
43107 | Have you, my dear? |
43107 | How could that be? 43107 How is it you are not lonely then?" |
43107 | How is your basket filled? |
43107 | How were we to know, seeing we are_ not_ nasty tricky fairies, about your relations, unless you explain them? |
43107 | How_ do_ you know? |
43107 | I do n''t suppose you ever have,and Mrs Coo murmured something which sounded like,"How could she?" |
43107 | I suppose you heard the bell quite distinctly? |
43107 | Is anything the matter? |
43107 | Is it always mild and warm in this funny place? |
43107 | Is it since then that the nest has fallen to pieces, do you think, Mr Coo? |
43107 | Is it your afternoon in the forest that you are dreaming of? |
43107 | Is n''t it sweet? 43107 Is n''t she good about everything?" |
43107 | It is lovely,she said,"and wonderful I do n''t think you could get one like it in any shop now, godmother, could you?" |
43107 | It is quite close to the forest, is n''t it? |
43107 | It was n''t only because we had gone away, was it? |
43107 | Levinside 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? |
43107 | Listen,she said,"is it not pretty?" |
43107 | Mary, dear,she said,"can you manage to amuse yourself again to- morrow afternoon? |
43107 | Mary,said Miss Verity, who noticed Mary''s moods more than the little girl knew,"will you gather some fir- cones for me this afternoon? |
43107 | May I come with you when you go to the cottages? |
43107 | May I see the letter again, please, auntie? |
43107 | Michael,repeated Mr Coo,"is he the fat little red- haired boy in sailor suits? |
43107 | Mike,she said, speaking almost in a whisper,"have you settled what you are going to do to- morrow, exactly?" |
43107 | Miss Mary,she went on,"why do you keep this one tiny white feather in your cap? |
43107 | Must you go downstairs at once? |
43107 | Mystery means secrets, does n''t it? |
43107 | No,said Mary,"I do n''t remember_ her_, but she always sends me a present on my birthday, does n''t she?" |
43107 | Not your Queen''s one? |
43107 | Now 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?" |
43107 | Of course I can,she replied,"if only-- oh, godmother, do you think I can go to the forest?" |
43107 | Or a fairy one? |
43107 | Perhaps she saw you yourself, and felt sure we had not really left for good? |
43107 | Shall I come too? |
43107 | Shall I keep it in my room, godmother? |
43107 | Supposing,began Mrs Coo,"_ supposing_ we could arrange to spend a day here?" |
43107 | The-- the what- d''ye- call them? |
43107 | Then may I come again very soon, and see all over, and peep into all the little arbours and everything? |
43107 | Then what do you mean? |
43107 | Then, Michael,she went on,"you have n''t told any one about the Cooies, have you? |
43107 | Then, first of all,she said,"where does the light come from? |
43107 | Then,said Miss Verity, with her half comical smile,"supposing we do some lessons? |
43107 | They''s very nice fancies,said Twitter,"Maly tells we lubly faily stolies, dudn''t her, Flitz?" |
43107 | They_ are_ sweet,he said,"are they your own, Molly? |
43107 | Was there any one in the room with you, Miss Mary, my dear, when I went upstairs to fetch you? |
43107 | Well then,she went on,"I beg your pardon for interrupting you-- after I have stuck the grey feather in my cap?" |
43107 | Well, Mike? |
43107 | Well, then, may n''t I think it is? |
43107 | Well, what then? |
43107 | Were some of them about the forest? |
43107 | What a good thing it is that I have got all my Christmas presents finished before this nice frost began, is n''t it? |
43107 | What are you stuffing into your pocket, child? |
43107 | What does she do that for? |
43107 | What is their proper place? |
43107 | What shall I do with the basket? |
43107 | What were they? |
43107 | What would you like to do, then, Moll? |
43107 | What? |
43107 | Where,began Mary,"where shall I sit down?" |
43107 | Whom do you mean by` they''? |
43107 | Whom have you got leave from? |
43107 | Why ca n''t you stay with me now? 43107 Why not?" |
43107 | Wide- awake already, Miss Mary? |
43107 | Would you like me to learn some French by heart to say to you? |
43107 | Would 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? |
43107 | Would you rather drive or go a walk? |
43107 | You are not cold, dear, at all, are you? |
43107 | You are not cold, dear? |
43107 | You 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?" |
43107 | You say,Mr Coo went on,"that Michael is coming back again soon?" |
43107 | You''ll_ promise_ to settle about it soon, wo n''t you? 43107 _ Mary_?" |
43107 | And sometimes may n''t I go a little walk alone in the forest?" |
43107 | And the light? |
43107 | And two or three pleasant things-- which will you have first?" |
43107 | And you did say I might ask questions?" |
43107 | And you do n''t feel chilly, I hope, Miss? |
43107 | Are n''t you tired and out of breath with flying so far?" |
43107 | Are there many birds in Levin Forest?" |
43107 | But I am not tired now, may n''t I walk on?" |
43107 | But Mike, do tell me-- did you believe me?" |
43107 | But how did you know about it?" |
43107 | But oh, Cooies, what shall we do? |
43107 | But where did the light come from? |
43107 | But why did you go away for so long? |
43107 | But wo n''t it keep? |
43107 | But-- what was that other sound? |
43107 | Did we not tell you, dear Mary, that we should meet again before along?" |
43107 | Did you bring any in with you?" |
43107 | Do 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?" |
43107 | Do n''t you see she_ is_ a friend? |
43107 | Do you agree?" |
43107 | Do you know, they made me feel quite giddy? |
43107 | Do you live in that dark place in the forest? |
43107 | Do you think you could do so? |
43107 | Does Michael know that you are here with me?" |
43107 | Have you been wanting to see me for anything special to- day, Mary dear?" |
43107 | How about your feather cloak?" |
43107 | How did you find out I was here?" |
43107 | How_ did_ you do it?" |
43107 | I am so glad you have got off again; but I suppose it is only for two nights?" |
43107 | I mean do you roost there?" |
43107 | I''ll run upstairs now and find the book, and may I choose a fable?" |
43107 | It will be a sort of` How- do- you- do?''" |
43107 | May I have some tea, mother, or is it too late?" |
43107 | My 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?" |
43107 | My own room is over this, the birds and I say` How- do- you- do?'' |
43107 | Nothing there seems quite like anywhere else: do n''t you think so, Mary?" |
43107 | Queen White Dove,"and something seemed to come into her mind as she spoke, as if she_ did_ remember-- what was it? |
43107 | Shall I get any more cones?" |
43107 | Shall I get ready for tea now? |
43107 | Shall I go home by the short- cut again?" |
43107 | So"No,"she repeated, more positively,"why do you ask, nurse?" |
43107 | Sometimes I drive them together, and then we do go pretty fast, though Magpie does not look as if that often happened, does she?" |
43107 | There, over at your side, do you see? |
43107 | They seemed to ask,"What is to be done?" |
43107 | Was it_ always_ warm and bright there? |
43107 | Was she dreaming? |
43107 | Was that then what Mary was crying about the day Mr Coo saw her and felt so distressed about her? |
43107 | We''d be frizzled up in a moment, of course, before one could say` tic,''would n''t one?" |
43107 | What are they busy about?" |
43107 | What shall we do?" |
43107 | What sort will it be?" |
43107 | What was the Queen going to do? |
43107 | Where did it come from? |
43107 | Will you spare her to me for a few weeks? |
43107 | Wo n''t you pat them, Mary? |
43107 | Would n''t that be a good plan?" |
43107 | Yes, please come about twelve o''clock, and would you like anything to eat?" |
43107 | You do n''t particularly want me to drive with you, do you?" |
43107 | You have heard of Levin Forest?" |
43107 | _ Could_ it be her own Cooies''voices that Pleasance had heard? |
43107 | asked Mary, rather dolefully,"a whole week?" |
43107 | or have you tamed them?" |
43107 | said her aunt,"for a little change?" |
43107 | she asked herself,"and can I_ possibly_ have missed the feather, or can it have blown away?" |
43107 | she exclaimed joyfully,"and oh, dear Cooies,_ do_ you know what I have got?" |
43107 | she 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?'' |
456 | Aluminum? |
456 | And did you dream again? |
456 | And that was the end? |
456 | And then he will be sane? |
456 | And then? |
456 | And then? |
456 | And they carried guns? |
456 | And you are ready to go? |
456 | And you have come into the world? |
456 | Any luggage, sir? |
456 | Anyhow, you will keep the secret? 456 But I should have thought an aeroplane?" |
456 | Cones? |
456 | Did the fellows-- make it disagreeable? |
456 | Did you ever play North- West Passage with me? 456 Did you hear that--"_ Bogota?_ His mind has hardly formed yet. |
456 | Did you not think it would blow up the house? 456 Died?" |
456 | Do you ever dream? 456 Do you mean--?" |
456 | Do_ we_ come in the way? 456 Does he say--?" |
456 | Dreams? |
456 | Eigh? |
456 | Eigh? |
456 | Even now--"The dream is always the same-- do you mean? |
456 | Got it? |
456 | Has no one told you,''In the Country of the Blind the One- Eyed Man is King?'' |
456 | Have I not served my Lord? |
456 | Have you been telling Mr. Raut of all these contrasts of flame and shadow you think so splendid? |
456 | He does not suspect? |
456 | How did you get it? |
456 | How many days? |
456 | How much was there of it? |
456 | How? |
456 | I Faraglioni? 456 I beg your pardon?" |
456 | I did n''t show any signs did I in those days of having a secret dream? |
456 | I suppose,said I,"you are out of work just at present?" |
456 | I wonder if you know enough to know what that is? |
456 | If I were to consent to this? |
456 | Is n''t there something called consecutive dreaming-- that goes on night after night? |
456 | Is that sort of thing always dreaming? 456 Left whom?" |
456 | Like what? |
456 | Like--? |
456 | Living in a different time,I said:"do you mean in some different age?" |
456 | Look at that,said Holroyd;"where''s your''eathen idol to match''i m?" |
456 | May I sit up? |
456 | Must you be led like a child? 456 My hat?" |
456 | Nipping your arm off? |
456 | Now,_ what_ affects it? |
456 | Past? |
456 | See? |
456 | Sight? |
456 | Sight? |
456 | Steel? |
456 | Stop a planet in its flight, rob it of its centrifugal force, what then? 456 The garden?" |
456 | The girl? |
456 | The year three thousand, for example? |
456 | This seems bosh to you? |
456 | To open? |
456 | Vestiges of daylight? 456 Was the Lord Dynamo still hungry? |
456 | Well? |
456 | Well? |
456 | Well? |
456 | What are you dewin''with that switch? |
456 | What is a new star to me? |
456 | What is blind? |
456 | What was that about''lived in vain?'' |
456 | What was there to do but flight? 456 What were they like?" |
456 | What? |
456 | When? |
456 | Where did you go? |
456 | Where does he come from, brother Pedro? |
456 | Why did you not come when I called you? |
456 | Yes? |
456 | Yes? |
456 | Yes? |
456 | Yes? |
456 | You do n''t find yourself in doubt; did this happen or did it not? |
456 | You mean? |
456 | You mean? |
456 | You wanted to see me? |
456 | You wo n''t think I''m mad? |
456 | Your 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?'' |
456 | After all, I thought, this is life-- love and beauty, desire and delight, are they not worth all those dismal struggles for vague, gigantic ends? |
456 | And I have rejected it, Redmond, and it has gone--""How do you know?" |
456 | And the result of that attraction? |
456 | And the size? |
456 | And then did the pale electric lights near the station cheat the rough planking into a semblance of white? |
456 | And then? |
456 | And then? |
456 | As beautiful as your scales and all this silver vesture of the earth and sky?" |
456 | But all the same, what on earth did Horrocks mean about"white as death"and"red as sin?" |
456 | But did he see like that? |
456 | But did it betray him? |
456 | But what does it matter? |
456 | Can not you hear the path as you walk?" |
456 | Coincidence, perhaps? |
456 | Did he after all know? |
456 | Did he see Holroyd kill himself? |
456 | Did that fatal unfastened door awaken some memory? |
456 | Did the man mean to take the thing coolly? |
456 | Did you ever have Carnaby twist your arm? |
456 | Do you hear? |
456 | Do you remember me as a kid at Saint Athelstan''s?" |
456 | Do you remember? |
456 | Do you think I am coquetting with your people in coming here?'' |
456 | Do you think my clothes are beautiful, dear moth? |
456 | Eh? |
456 | Even if Evesham did force the world back to war, what was that to me? |
456 | Even if you died-- even if you died--''"''Yes?'' |
456 | Fresh scenes and fresh happenings-- until I came upon the last--""When you died?" |
456 | Had he heard all? |
456 | Had he just been within an ace of being murdered? |
456 | Had they heard aright? |
456 | Have you ever heard of a dream that had a quality like that?" |
456 | He broke out in an argumentative monotone:"But why should it be? |
456 | He hated and resisted these things, but what could he do? |
456 | How can I describe to you the scene we had before us? |
456 | How long had he been in the room? |
456 | I interrupted suddenly:"You have been to Capri, of course?" |
456 | I 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? |
456 | If 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? |
456 | If, indeed, this battle, this slaughter and stress is life, why have we this craving for pleasure and beauty? |
456 | Is it dreaming? |
456 | Mad? |
456 | Might n''t it be something else?" |
456 | Odd, eh?" |
456 | Odd, is n''t it? |
456 | Or if it was a diamond, how came he by it, and why should he offer it at a hundred pounds? |
456 | Or is it something else? |
456 | She was dressed-- how can I describe it? |
456 | Should he charge them? |
456 | Should he charge them? |
456 | Should he charge them? |
456 | Suppose this slouching, scowling monster_ did_ know anything? |
456 | Then he asked me suddenly if I had heard of a great and avenging declaration that Evesham had made? |
456 | They all sought their own narrow ends, and why should not I-- why should not I also live as a man? |
456 | Was he an ingenious monomaniac, or a fraudulent dealer in pebbles, or has he really made diamonds as he asserted? |
456 | Was he deluding himself with his own fancies, or had Horrocks actually held him back in the way of the train? |
456 | Was it wise to be here? |
456 | Was there, after all, ever any green door in the wall at all? |
456 | Were there other people in the place?" |
456 | What did they call it?" |
456 | What do you want to tell me?'' |
456 | What had he heard? |
456 | What had he seen? |
456 | What, he asked himself, had really happened on the line? |
456 | When could the door have opened? |
456 | Where did you get it?" |
456 | Who wants to pat panthers on the way to dinner with pretty women and distinguished men? |
456 | Would he have anything to tell me worth the money, or was he the common incapable-- incapable even of telling his own story? |
456 | You remember? |
456 | You see-- how can I tell you? |
456 | You were n''t there by any chance? |
456 | You''ve never seen it? |
456 | _ No_;_ you_ would not have me do that?" |
456 | what have I done?" |
456 | where are you?" |
4282 | A dead spider, master? |
4282 | A rose tree? |
4282 | And did they not suspect that you were yourself? |
4282 | And he gives you no wages? |
4282 | And how shall I send them to you again? |
4282 | And those that dwelt in the castles, master, before the sword came? |
4282 | And where shall I leave the horses? |
4282 | And where will that bring me? |
4282 | And who is he? |
4282 | And you? |
4282 | And you? |
4282 | Are the wars near? |
4282 | Are you soldiers? |
4282 | But can nothing be done, master? |
4282 | But how shall you come by your castle? |
4282 | But where? |
4282 | But will there be no more fighting? |
4282 | But,said Rodriguez,"how does their lingering harm you?" |
4282 | Can Morano speak Latin? |
4282 | Can Morano talk Latin? |
4282 | Can Morano write? |
4282 | Can you stay there? |
4282 | Did he so? |
4282 | Do you desire such a journey? |
4282 | Does he surrender his castle, master? |
4282 | For which side will you fight, master? |
4282 | Gone? |
4282 | Has the King of Shadow Valley no castle? |
4282 | Have we far to go, master? |
4282 | Have you a gold great piece? |
4282 | Have you any castle for my friend? |
4282 | He gives you no food? |
4282 | How far is it? |
4282 | How far? |
4282 | How know you that he is a magician? |
4282 | How know you that? |
4282 | How shall we disguise ourselves? |
4282 | Indeed? |
4282 | Is he very near the castle? |
4282 | Is his house wonderful? |
4282 | Is it not? |
4282 | Is it so? |
4282 | Is it so? |
4282 | Is that not good for adventure? |
4282 | Is there any house on this road, señor,he said,"in which we could rest the night?" |
4282 | Is this your village? |
4282 | La Garda found you, señor? |
4282 | Let the owner of these have them till his own come back,he said, and added:"How far may I take these?" |
4282 | Like you the looks of it? |
4282 | Long? |
4282 | Master,Morano said plaintively,"shall I see to your comforts, your food, and not to your life?" |
4282 | Master,he said,"do you draw your sword of a night?" |
4282 | Master,said Morano,"shall we have more adventures to- day?" |
4282 | Master,said Morano,"that señor who likes my fat body so ill he would kill me, he...""Well?" |
4282 | Mistaken? |
4282 | My castle, señor? |
4282 | My frying- pan? |
4282 | My mandolin? |
4282 | No castle? |
4282 | Not always? |
4282 | Ride, master? |
4282 | Row, master? |
4282 | Señor,he said,"what is the right price for a bottle of this wine that la Garda drink?" |
4282 | Señor,said his old enemy,"will you tarry with us, in our house a few days, if your journey is not urgent?" |
4282 | Shall I tell him, master? |
4282 | Shall we gag him, master, like the rest? |
4282 | Sixty, master? |
4282 | Surely they will move farther off? |
4282 | The bowman''s badge, is it not? |
4282 | The forest is fair, is it not? |
4282 | The 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? |
4282 | They would give us horses? |
4282 | They would give us horses? |
4282 | Think you,said Rodriguez,"that for so stout a knave this branch of yours suffices?" |
4282 | Timber, Master? |
4282 | Tomorrow morning, señor? |
4282 | Was there a castle in this place? |
4282 | Well, Morano,he said,"have we come by that castle at last?" |
4282 | Well? |
4282 | What castle? |
4282 | What do you bring us? |
4282 | What do you seek? |
4282 | What forest? |
4282 | What is its name? |
4282 | What news? |
4282 | What shall I do to them, master? |
4282 | What shall we do then? |
4282 | What should a servant do if not work for his master? |
4282 | What village? |
4282 | What? |
4282 | When have I broken my word? |
4282 | When have I broken my word? |
4282 | Where are the wars, master? 4282 Where do you go?" |
4282 | Where is he? |
4282 | Where is your home, señor? |
4282 | Which way? |
4282 | Which were best, think you,said Rodriguez,"if you could have but one, a lofty place or comfort?" |
4282 | Whither? |
4282 | Who are you? |
4282 | Who are you? |
4282 | Who is this professor? |
4282 | Who knows? |
4282 | Who needs go anywhere from Shadow Valley? |
4282 | Who told you that? |
4282 | Who wears it? |
4282 | Whose chair is that? |
4282 | Whose word? |
4282 | Why, Morano? |
4282 | Will you buy horses, master? |
4282 | Would you care, señor, when you are well rested to give the chastisement yourself? |
4282 | Yes, yes, you shall have it,his master said,"but how do these folks hinder you?" |
4282 | Yes? |
4282 | You see nothing strange there, then? |
4282 | You were travelling? |
4282 | You would like another ride? |
4282 | Your name? |
4282 | And 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?) |
4282 | And how work for him when dead? |
4282 | And 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?" |
4282 | And now, my reader, the situation is this: who am I? |
4282 | And then Serafina said, as he walked all heavy with silence past a curving slope of dimly glowing azaleas,"You like flowers, señor?" |
4282 | And to whom or what would you give it? |
4282 | And what message did Serafina receive from those notes that were strange even to Rodriguez? |
4282 | And what of the days he saw? |
4282 | And what would life be if those that deny song are to be permitted to thrive unmolested by all good men?" |
4282 | But when men need him who knows which shadow is his of all that lie in the forest?" |
4282 | But why? |
4282 | By which road go you?" |
4282 | Could it have been the bell? |
4282 | Did he notice nothing as they rode by that balcony? |
4282 | Did he see them truly? |
4282 | Did they not seem sunnier than they really were? |
4282 | Do the boars still drink at Heather Pool? |
4282 | Do the geese go still to Greatmarsh? |
4282 | Does he deserve your pity on that account? |
4282 | Does my reader think that he then set spurs to his horse, galloping towards that house about whose balcony his dreams flew every night? |
4282 | Does my reader wonder they saw when they had no eyes? |
4282 | Does the hurt pain you, señor? |
4282 | Fear came on Morano at the thought: who had power to speak like this? |
4282 | For how would it be if those that have denied song should win and thrive? |
4282 | Had you been there, my reader, you would have said, any of us had said, Why not choose some other house? |
4282 | Have you ever noticed it, reader? |
4282 | He drank no wine that night with Don Alderon: what need had he of wine? |
4282 | He saw Rodriguez, indeed their eyes met as he dropped through the air, but what could mine host do? |
4282 | How is it with Larios, Raphael, Migada? |
4282 | How shall I tell with words what spirit sang wordless to spirit? |
4282 | How should it have been otherwise? |
4282 | In a weak voice and few words the hurt man thanked him, but the apathetic faces seemed to say What of that? |
4282 | Only why the hell do n''t we get back there again where the Evening Star swings low on the wall of the Mess? |
4282 | Or your envy? |
4282 | Over the door was burned on oak in ungainly great letters--"FERNANDEZ""For whom do you seek, señor?" |
4282 | Some evil spirit has done it, then why not he? |
4282 | The Slave of Orion stood watching in silence too, but who knows if he felt pleasure or any other emotion? |
4282 | The others will win the fight, master, and where will your castle be?" |
4282 | Were they not stranger to her? |
4282 | What am I saying? |
4282 | What did it mean? |
4282 | What had Rodriguez seen? |
4282 | What he meant was,"How can I believe you?" |
4282 | What shall I say of Morano? |
4282 | What ship was it? |
4282 | What sorrows had Rodriguez known in his life that he made so sad a melody? |
4282 | What was he to Serafina? |
4282 | What will the Goddess Clio say, or the well- deserving knight, if I offend History? |
4282 | What will they do? |
4282 | What will you do?" |
4282 | Where are the wars?" |
4282 | Whither bound? |
4282 | Who could say what they were in such a house, where bats and evil spirits sheltered perennially from the brooms of the just? |
4282 | Who shoots woodcock now?" |
4282 | Who was this man who so mysteriously blended with the other unknown things that haunted the gloom of that chamber? |
4282 | Whom, then, would you believe? |
4282 | Why had he fought him at night? |
4282 | Why should he know? |
4282 | Why there? |
4282 | Would Rodriguez really leave them? |
4282 | Would 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? |
11521 | A ribbon, a little ring, what nothings are these? |
11521 | After a time, when he stopped, I ventured to ask--''Monsieur Lecamus, is it, indeed, Those----whom we have known, who are in Semur?'' |
11521 | And he took a piece of a hundred sous out of his pocket( how had it got there?) |
11521 | And to what then do you bid us submit----?'' |
11521 | As I sat with my head in my hands, two talked to each other close by:''Is it true that we have failed?'' |
11521 | Besides was it needed, when heart already spoke to heart? |
11521 | But 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? |
11521 | But if I had asked who would have heard me? |
11521 | But if not an imposture, what could it be supposed to be? |
11521 | But is it not they who need most who deserve most? |
11521 | But oh,_ mon ami!_''she said,''what will the world come to if this is what they really believe?'' |
11521 | But to give it up to our Lord is not that to sanctify it? |
11521 | But was it not to preserve the children that we were commanded to go to La Clairière? |
11521 | But what of that? |
11521 | But why insist upon these matters of detail to unenlightened men? |
11521 | But yet, when a little time passes, you know? |
11521 | But, then, how account for the precipitate return which they had already noted, the supposed faint, the pallor of my looks? |
11521 | Could not I take you somewhere, where you might be more at your ease?'' |
11521 | Could we have done anything, the oppression might have been less terrible-- but what was there that we could do? |
11521 | Did anyone ever see such weather? |
11521 | Do I need to say who it was? |
11521 | Do n''t you others, gentlemen and ladies, do just the same? |
11521 | Do we see anything, you and I? |
11521 | Do you think we have forgotten you? |
11521 | For what did I bring him into the world but for this end? |
11521 | For who could tell if we should ever come back? |
11521 | Have they come for nothing? |
11521 | Have you forgotten your psalm, and how you sustained us at the first? |
11521 | Have you never discovered yet how strong is self- delusion? |
11521 | He who had known how to choose him among all the others, would not He guard him? |
11521 | How can I tell that Jacques is not right after all? |
11521 | How can one go to sleep with all that riot in one''s ears?'' |
11521 | How could we force them away while they held to the fancy that those they loved were there? |
11521 | How did they know what they might find in the houses from which they had been shut out? |
11521 | How was it possible that she could go away again, and leave him so feeble, so worn, alone? |
11521 | How was it that you did not hear? |
11521 | How was it, how was it that you did not hear? |
11521 | I cried;''is it for you to promise in the name of the Commune?'' |
11521 | I 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? |
11521 | I 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? |
11521 | I rose up staggering with blindness and woe-- could it be that already, already it was over? |
11521 | I said,''Are we indeed too late? |
11521 | I 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? |
11521 | I said,''but to what? |
11521 | I will do anything that is reasonable; but of what truth have we here the proof----?'' |
11521 | If a messenger is to be sent, let it be some one not so indispensable----''''Why send a messenger?'' |
11521 | If 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? |
11521 | If we saw heaven opened, could we trust to our vision now? |
11521 | In the cabarets rather than in the churches; and as for the fasts and vigils, who thinks of them? |
11521 | Is it befitting in this presence?'' |
11521 | Is it true all that is said about these people, I would say, these Messieurs? |
11521 | It is possible that Bonne Maman was right-- but what then? |
11521 | Jean?'' |
11521 | Jean?'' |
11521 | Let 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? |
11521 | M. le Maire is an excellent man; but what will you? |
11521 | Must we be prepared to give up all if we would be perfected? |
11521 | My 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? |
11521 | Now that you have seen how successful it has been, will not you tell me in confidence how it is done?'' |
11521 | Our good God, who is our father, does He require that one should make profession of faith, that all should be alike? |
11521 | Seeing-- what is seeing? |
11521 | Shall I shrink from my duty wherever it leads me? |
11521 | Sometimes 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? |
11521 | That_ sainte femme_ was praying for her husband, who could doubt? |
11521 | The fêtes may indeed be said to be observed, but in what manner? |
11521 | The 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? |
11521 | Then there arose cries from one to another:''Do you forget what was said to us?'' |
11521 | Then why not I? |
11521 | They ask,"Do you know now-- do you know now?" |
11521 | They asked no questions, neither did we ask any questions of each other, as,''Where are you going?'' |
11521 | They 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?'' |
11521 | This speech, though too long, pleased me, for a man of this species, a revolutionary( are not all visionaries revolutionaries?) |
11521 | To know them so near, those mysterious visitors-- to feel them, to hear them, was not that enough? |
11521 | To 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? |
11521 | To what use? |
11521 | To whom else could they turn? |
11521 | Was Semur a city of the saints? |
11521 | Was it a dream? |
11521 | Was not he the representative of the Unseen, the vice- gerent, with power over heaven and hell? |
11521 | What are men made of? |
11521 | What can Messieurs les Morts of Semur want with a poor man of science like me? |
11521 | What could I say? |
11521 | What could we do with them, weeping thus, smiling, holding out their arms to-- we knew not what? |
11521 | What could we do with them? |
11521 | What could we do? |
11521 | What did I see? |
11521 | What do I say? |
11521 | What had their angels said to them? |
11521 | What is speaking or hearing when heart wells into heart? |
11521 | What is there in the world but money to think of? |
11521 | What is this that has been said to them?'' |
11521 | What man is there to whom the bells of his village, the_ carillon_ of his city, is not most dear? |
11521 | What mattered Semur to me, if it had cost me my Agnès? |
11521 | What say I? |
11521 | What stranger could know what was in my heart? |
11521 | What was it that followed? |
11521 | What was it to them all that had happened? |
11521 | What was it to them? |
11521 | What was it? |
11521 | What was to become of us? |
11521 | Whether it was human weakness or an invisible barrier, how can I tell? |
11521 | Who but she should have done it, who had helped him to join that company and army of the beloved? |
11521 | Who can tell what is outside? |
11521 | Who could tell what might have happened while we slept? |
11521 | Who else could write what I have to write? |
11521 | Who should it be but Jacques Richard? |
11521 | Why should I have suspected him? |
11521 | Why should I look? |
11521 | Why should it be a matter of wonder that the dead should come back? |
11521 | Why were we all going out of our houses in the wintry dusk to which our July days had turned? |
11521 | Why, then, should the other move us? |
11521 | Will 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? |
11521 | Would I abandon him were he ever so disobedient? |
11521 | Would they harm me that love us? |
11521 | Would you have paused in your labours to tell an idle traveller the meaning of our lives, before the day when you left Semur? |
11521 | You ask of what truth have we the proof here? |
11521 | You saw--_her_?'' |
11521 | Your 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? |
11521 | and how can you speak, how can you parley with those--''and he too, was seized with a shiver--''whom you can not see?'' |
11521 | did not I say true? |
11521 | he said;''can not you see it on the great door?'' |
11521 | is it for this that they have come?'' |
11521 | it is so common for men to be, would have so nobly acknowledged his obligations to the good God when our misfortunes were over? |
11521 | le Maire has seen a----what there is outside?'' |
11521 | le Maire has seen-- nothing?'' |
11521 | le Maire, is it indeed_ les morts_ that are in Semur?'' |
11521 | le Maire,''cried the fellow,''speaks at his ease-- but who will thus risk himself?'' |
11521 | mon Dieu!_ have not I drunk of that cup to the dregs? |
11521 | nay, rather abandon life and every consolation; for what is life to me but thee?'' |
11521 | one wonders; one asks one''s self, was it a dream?'' |
11521 | or how could I think of Lecamus or any other, while she lay between life and death? |
11521 | or shall not even this, not even so much as this be revealed to me?'' |
11521 | or,''What is the meaning of a so- early promenade?'' |
11521 | said one; and the other answered,''Must not all fail that is not sent of the Father?'' |
11521 | they cried;''and, besides, is it likely he will pay any attention to you when he tries to stop even the_ bon Dieu_?'' |
11521 | was it possible? |
11521 | was it possible? |
11521 | who attends to those sacred moments of penitence? |
11521 | who called me''_ Ma soeur_''? |
11521 | who could bear it? |
11521 | why are we thus cast forth? |
9817 | Am_ I_ dreaming true? 9817 And is there no punishment or reward?" |
9817 | And now look at that old house over there,pointing to my old home;"how many windows are there in the top story?" |
9817 | And what was this wonderful old lady''s name? |
9817 | And who was this wonderful Duchess of Towers before she married? |
9817 | By- the- way,she asked,"what kind of supper did they give you? |
9817 | Confess what, you fool? |
9817 | Do you know your own handwriting? |
9817 | Do 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?" |
9817 | Does he know of this letter''s existing? |
9817 | Est- ce que monsieur est indisposé? 9817 Have you forgotten that? |
9817 | I wonder how we could find out? 9817 Is it all right?" |
9817 | Is_ that_ what it means? 9817 May I keep it?" |
9817 | Mimsey 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? |
9817 | Was there ever,said I--"ever since the world began, such ecstasy as I feel now? |
9817 | Well, my Apollo of the T square,_ pourquoi cet honneur?_ Have you come, like a dutiful nephew, to humble yourself and beg for forgiveness? |
9817 | Well, my Apollo of the T square,_ pourquoi cet honneur?_ Have you come, like a dutiful nephew, to humble yourself and beg for forgiveness? |
9817 | What on earth is that wonderful tune, Mary? |
9817 | Where are those boys going? |
9817 | Why 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?" |
9817 | After all, it was only for another forty or fifty years at the most, and what was that? |
9817 | After this what can there be for me but death-- well earned and well paid for? |
9817 | Ah, Gogo, is a man happier than a mouse, or a mouse than a turnip, or a turnip than a lump of chalk? |
9817 | All he said was:"Awful shame of me to drop old Lyon for Chiselhurst, eh? |
9817 | And after that--_que sçais- je?_ The thought was inspiring indeed! |
9817 | And afterwards where should we be if some of us had n''t once had them on earth? |
9817 | And hast thou done growing at last? |
9817 | And then what business had_ she_, in_ this_,_ my_ particular dream-- as she herself had asked of me? |
9817 | And these cobwebs? |
9817 | And thus, as the boy is father to the man, should the human race one day be father to-- what? |
9817 | And 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? |
9817 | And 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? |
9817 | And who''s that nice old man with the long green coat and the red ribbon? |
9817 | Are two people happier than one? |
9817 | As happy as we were--_happier_ even?" |
9817 | As the female chimpanzee is to the Venus of Milo, so is the Venus of Milo to... X? |
9817 | As the orang- outang is to Shakespeare, so is Shakespeare to... X? |
9817 | Belle fille?" |
9817 | But how about the avenue and my old home? |
9817 | But of the thing for which I am here? |
9817 | But what man would be a mouse or a turnip, or_ vice versâ_? |
9817 | But what matter the words? |
9817 | But where was the fée Tarapatapoum? |
9817 | But_ was_ it a dream? |
9817 | Can anything be less odd, less eccentric or interesting? |
9817 | Can you make out my little parable? |
9817 | Cloud to Paris? |
9817 | Couldst thou, out of those five sounds of fixed, unalterable pitch, make, not a sixth sound, but a star? |
9817 | Do n''t you really remember? |
9817 | Do n''t you remember? |
9817 | Do n''t you remember? |
9817 | Do n''t you_ rappel_ it to yourself? |
9817 | Do you happen to recollect once bringing me a note from at Ibbetson Hall? |
9817 | Do you hear the waves tumbling and splashing, and see the albatross? |
9817 | Do you know that tune?" |
9817 | Do you like it? |
9817 | Do you remember her? |
9817 | Do you remember your father''s voice? |
9817 | Do you remember''Parva sed Apta, le petit pavilion,''as you used to call it? |
9817 | Do you remember? |
9817 | Does the touch of mine tell you nothing?" |
9817 | Et Mimsé? |
9817 | Even in its madness there must be a method, so how could the will be free? |
9817 | For what was I to the Duchess of Towers? |
9817 | For who would fardels bear? |
9817 | For whoever remembers having once been you, wakes you for the nonce out of-- nirvana, shall we say? |
9817 | For you are Mr. Ibbetson, Lady Cray''s architect?" |
9817 | Gogo-- gentil petit Gogo!--oui-- oui-- l''exercice? |
9817 | Had I gone mad by any chance? |
9817 | Had any youth been ever so moved by that face before? |
9817 | Have you forgotten what he is doing now? |
9817 | Have you no family papers?" |
9817 | He began to snivel and whimper, and said he had never meddled with me, and asked what should I meddle with him for? |
9817 | He is quite ignorant of the true relationship, which has caused me many a pang of shame and remorse...."''Que voulez- vous? |
9817 | He put out his hand, and said,"You''re all right, ai n''t yer, guv''ner? |
9817 | He 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? |
9817 | How am I to_ know_?'' |
9817 | How can I pay a fitting tribute to one so near to me-- nearer than any woman can ever have been to any man? |
9817 | How can I tell for certain whether you are my son or not? |
9817 | How does one_ feel_ them there? |
9817 | I can understand that now; and yet on earth where should we be without eyes? |
9817 | I cried,"shall we be transcendently happy again? |
9817 | I looked round in despair and rage, and picking out the biggest man I could see, said,"Are_ you_ big enough?" |
9817 | Ibbetson?" |
9817 | If 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? |
9817 | Is he beautiful enough? |
9817 | Is it possible-- is it possible?" |
9817 | Is it worth while? |
9817 | Is n''t all the furniture rare and beautiful? |
9817 | Is 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? |
9817 | Is n''t it lovely? |
9817 | It 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? |
9817 | It is a grand old name; but what does it mean? |
9817 | It seems cruel, does n''t it? |
9817 | It was there that Madame Seraskier died of cholera--... What is the matter-- are you ill?" |
9817 | Look at this house; what is written on the portico?" |
9817 | Mean while, what would you like there tonight-- the Yosemite Valley? |
9817 | Monsieur ne parle pas le Français, peut- être?" |
9817 | Mozart''s?" |
9817 | My mother took the letter from the postman''s hand as he said,"Pour Vous? |
9817 | Ortolans, nightingales''tongues, pearls dissolved in wine?" |
9817 | Rossini''s? |
9817 | She might have said--"Eh bien, et après?" |
9817 | The blind and deaf? |
9817 | The cause, the whither, and the why of it all? |
9817 | The duchess said--"Was there ever, since the world began, such a_ muse en scène_, and for such a meeting, Mr. Ibbetson? |
9817 | The 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? |
9817 | The sound of my friend''s voice, what is it? |
9817 | The 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? |
9817 | Though why should she be there? |
9817 | Translate me those words into French, O ye who can even render Shakespeare into French Alexandrines--"Belle femme? |
9817 | Was each so sure that when he reached his home he would find his heart''s desire? |
9817 | Was n''t it idiotic?" |
9817 | Was the bridegroom himself so very sure? |
9817 | What are sight and hearing and touch and the rest? |
9817 | What can I do to prevent his believing that I believe him? |
9817 | What could it all mean? |
9817 | What good would family papers have been to me? |
9817 | What is a gentleman? |
9817 | What is to prove all this to me when I wake? |
9817 | What matter if it be a fool''s paradise? |
9817 | What matters the foundation if but the bliss be there, and the brain has nerves to feel it? |
9817 | What matters what anybody thinks? |
9817 | What more could be wanted for a small boy fresh( if such be freshness) from the very heart of Bloomsbury? |
9817 | What must thy songs without words have been, if thou didst ever make any? |
9817 | What shall it be? |
9817 | What turnip would be a lump-- of anything but itself? |
9817 | What were they, those five sounds? |
9817 | What would she think of me now? |
9817 | What,''at the other end of the room,''were you? |
9817 | What_ can_ be more enchanting? |
9817 | What_ was_ your name, then?" |
9817 | Who knows? |
9817 | Who knows? |
9817 | Who knows? |
9817 | Who told you so?" |
9817 | Whose is it? |
9817 | Why ca n''t you talk French, you infernal British booby? |
9817 | Why not Hecuba? |
9817 | Why only two? |
9817 | Why should so fantastic a thought have persecuted me so cruelly? |
9817 | Why two ears? |
9817 | Why, of course, those eyes, so lashless then, so thickly fringed to- day!--how could I have mistaken them? |
9817 | Will that convince you?" |
9817 | Would it ever get up steam for me? |
9817 | Would you like a slice? |
9817 | You and I, yes; because we_ are_ one; but who else? |
9817 | You 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 | _ There!_ What did I tell you? |
9817 | _ Who_ is a gentleman, and yet who_ is not_? |
9817 | and that, both having died so near each other, we had begun our eternal afterlife in this heavenly fashion? |
9817 | arrmes... bras? |
9817 | by-- by two little jailers, a man and his wife, who danced and were trying to hem you in?" |
9817 | faudrait- il autre chose?" |
9817 | she whispered, and turned white again, and trembled all over,"what do you mean?" |
9817 | some 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? |
9817 | the Bay of Naples after sunset, with Vesuvius in eruption?... |
9817 | the Nevski Prospect in the winter, with the sledges? |
9817 | the Rialto? |
9817 | toujours mal à la tête?" |
9817 | what had become of this Gogo in the mean time? |
9817 | where and what were time or space to us then? |
9817 | who''s the lovely young giantess that seems so fond of you, you little rascal, hey? |
9956 | But how could she do it-- how could she kill the man she cared for? |
9956 | Do n''t you recognise my dress, William? |
9956 | Do you believe now? 9956 Do you believe now?" |
9956 | Do you suppose there was anything between them? |
9956 | Doctor,he said very quietly,"will you do me a favor? |
9956 | Does this interesting literary character haunt the yellow drawing- room? 9956 Does-- does Mr. Oke know that you have got it here?" |
9956 | Have n''t you heard the gong for dinner? |
9956 | Have you any ghosts at Okehurst, by the way? |
9956 | Have you ever read any of Lovelock''s poetry? |
9956 | Have you ever seen or heard anything strange there? |
9956 | How does one know that anything is true in this world? |
9956 | I presume you have not,I asked, half laughing, of Mrs. Oke,"since you do n''t mind sitting in that room for hours alone? |
9956 | I suppose you are a great sportsman? |
9956 | I think we shall be caught in a tremendous storm,I said;"had n''t we better be turning?" |
9956 | If he is, why does n''t he go up to town and see the doctor? 9956 Is Mrs. Oke unwell?" |
9956 | Is n''t it true that Mrs. Oke tries to look like that portrait? |
9956 | Lovelock? |
9956 | No one? |
9956 | Really? |
9956 | Well, who was it? |
9956 | What do I want with the unaesthetic sex, as Schopenhauer calls it? |
9956 | What do the dead people know about it? 9956 What is that costume?" |
9956 | What is the name of this place? |
9956 | Where is Mrs. Oke? 9956 Who tells you that I do n''t believe in_ such things_, as you call them?" |
9956 | Who told thee that fable? |
9956 | Who was it, then, that was walking with you near the pond, about five o''clock? |
9956 | Who was it? |
9956 | Who''s that fellow looking in at the window, and making signs to you, Alice? 9956 Why do you worry Mr. Oke like that?" |
9956 | Why not? 9956 Why, would you dislike it if there were?" |
9956 | Would n''t what? |
9956 | You 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?" |
9956 | And when you come to think of it, why not? |
9956 | And yet what can he do? |
9956 | And yet, who knows? |
9956 | And, indeed, is it possible they should not? |
9956 | As a matter of fact, what is there to be said? |
9956 | At what price? |
9956 | But have I recovered? |
9956 | But if it does not distress you or your charming daughter, may I humbly beg permission to smoke a cigar?" |
9956 | But if madness means the happiness of one''s life, what of it? |
9956 | But if she will not listen to him, what can he do? |
9956 | But where is the use of talking about her? |
9956 | But why among these statues only men and boys, athletes and fauns? |
9956 | But why not? |
9956 | But why so, pray? |
9956 | But, after all, why make a scandal? |
9956 | But,"he added, as if fearful lest he should be supposed to accuse her in any way,"how can she, usually, with her wretched health? |
9956 | By taking no notice of the letter? |
9956 | Can you doubt of the reality of Christopher Lovelock now?" |
9956 | Could it have been all a hallucination or a dream-- perhaps a dream dreamed that night? |
9956 | Death-- and is not she also dead? |
9956 | Did I ever mention to you Father Domenico of Casoria, the confessor of our Convent of the Stigmata? |
9956 | Did I not know that I was in love with a woman dead three hundred years? |
9956 | Do I dread it? |
9956 | Do I feel anything, does anything exist all round me? |
9956 | Do I long for tonight? |
9956 | Do n''t they believe that Lovelock has been seen about the house? |
9956 | Do you remember-- you, who have read everything-- all the bosh of our writers about the Ideal in Art? |
9956 | Do you see it? |
9956 | Do you suppose that a woman like Medea feels the smallest ill- will against a poor, craven Duchess Maddalena? |
9956 | Do you understand? |
9956 | For what use, I entreat you to tell me, is that respectable spinster''s vision? |
9956 | For, after all, may I not recover from this strangest of maladies? |
9956 | From this sort of martyrdom( what are the sensations of a former racehorse being driven in a cab? |
9956 | Has Waldemar''s statue shown me the real Dionea, or has Dionea really grown more strangely beautiful than before? |
9956 | Has your Excellency ever read Longus, a Greek pastoral novelist? |
9956 | Have I really seen her, or am I mad? |
9956 | Have n''t they all heard his footsteps in the big corridor? |
9956 | Have you got that particular white dress she was painted in, perhaps?" |
9956 | He ought to save her, do you see? |
9956 | How could he? |
9956 | How do you explain the part which tradition ascribes to her in the supposed murder? |
9956 | How do you explain this uncanny reputation, since nothing ever happened there?" |
9956 | How in the world should I have dreamed that I was handling explosive substances? |
9956 | How pay them off? |
9956 | How should I know that the wretched husband would take such matters seriously? |
9956 | How was it I had not noticed that? |
9956 | I answered, working away at my sketch, and enjoying putting this strange creature, as I said to myself, through her paces;"how is that?" |
9956 | I asked--"that she was ever in love with him? |
9956 | I fancied I saw it all, and that I, somehow, was Marcantonio Frangipani come to liberate her-- or was it Prinzivalle degli Ordelaffi? |
9956 | I feel as if some danger pursued me here( can it be fever? |
9956 | I go about humming between my teeth,"Why am I not Marcantonio? |
9956 | I hear again all the insipid exclamations, the insipid questions about this singer:--"When did he live? |
9956 | I know not what impelled me to say,"By the way, have you any dresses of that Mrs. Oke whom your wife resembles so much? |
9956 | I put it into water when I returned, after having kissed it, who knows how many times? |
9956 | I wonder whether such an idol ever existed, or exists nowadays, in the body of Tassi''s bronze effigy? |
9956 | I wonder who has his likeness now? |
9956 | Is it a delusion? |
9956 | Is it falsehood? |
9956 | Is it from living among these peasants and fishing- folk, or is it because, as people pretend, a skeptic is always superstitious? |
9956 | Is it her fault that every stone that comes beneath her chariot- wheels is crushed? |
9956 | Is this Medea''s fault? |
9956 | Is this folly? |
9956 | Jealous-- but of whom? |
9956 | MY 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? |
9956 | May I not hear one note, only one note of thine, O singer, O wicked and contemptible wretch? |
9956 | May this explain? |
9956 | May this not be the case with me? |
9956 | Moreover, I was very calm, as one is calm sometimes in extraordinary dreams-- could I be dreaming? |
9956 | Must he seek out the other one, and try and get him out of the way? |
9956 | My book? |
9956 | Nay, am I not here at Urbania on the express understanding that, in a certain number of months, I shall produce just another such book? |
9956 | Nay, would it be possible to drag on a life like this one after the happiness of tomorrow? |
9956 | Oh, 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?" |
9956 | Or are there really ghosts? |
9956 | Recovery? |
9956 | Shall life for me mean the love of a dead woman? |
9956 | Suppose she knew that she must strike or be struck? |
9956 | That incident was the beginning of a perfect system-- a system of what? |
9956 | The genuine ghost? |
9956 | The question was, Could such a name be fitly borne by a young lady at the Convent of the Stigmata? |
9956 | The 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? |
9956 | This 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? |
9956 | To Oke or to Mrs. Oke? |
9956 | Was he very famous? |
9956 | Was it all my fancy? |
9956 | Was it cowardice on my part? |
9956 | Was she worth seeing, that aunt of hers, or would she, if followed, have led the way to any interesting brimstone or any endurable beatitude? |
9956 | Was there, perhaps, another door there? |
9956 | Well, yes, after all, why not? |
9956 | What happened there?" |
9956 | What has become of the race of Faustinas, Marozias, Bianca Cappellos? |
9956 | What if the rose has fallen to dust? |
9956 | What mystery was there in this woman''s life? |
9956 | What was it all? |
9956 | What''s the use of it all? |
9956 | Where discover nowadays( I confess she haunts me) another Medea da Carpi? |
9956 | Where had I seen that goddess in lilac and lemon draperies foreshortened over a big, green peacock? |
9956 | Where have you been all this time?" |
9956 | Where is Alice?" |
9956 | Who can it be?" |
9956 | Who had written it? |
9956 | Who knows whether they do not exist to this day? |
9956 | Why do I write this trash? |
9956 | Why no wide- shouldered Amazon or broad- flanked Aphrodite? |
9956 | Why only the bust of that thin, delicate- lipped little Madonna wife of his? |
9956 | Why should I? |
9956 | Why should she not return to the earth, if she knows that it contains a man who thinks of, desires, only her? |
9956 | Why should there not be ghosts to such as can see them? |
9956 | Why will she always go on like that about Lovelock?" |
9956 | Why, in Heaven''s name, must he pitch upon Zaffirino for his mooning, this old duffer of a patrician? |
9956 | Will tonight ever come? |
9956 | Will you listen to me?" |
9956 | Would it be possible to live in order to love another woman? |
9956 | Would you like to come up to your rooms?" |
9956 | You did n''t know that it all took place under my eyes? |
9956 | You have never heard the story in detail? |
9956 | You really think that I am?" |
9956 | You think our peasants are skeptical? |
9956 | am I going mad? |
9956 | cried one of the boys--"the one who used to ride through the air on a goat?" |
9956 | did any of thy lovers love thee as I do? |
9956 | do you suppose they have n''t heard the story? |
9956 | he repeated, in a scrutinising tone;"no one, Alice?" |
9956 | or Prinzivalle? |
9956 | or he of Narni? |
9956 | or rather, that I only now remembered having noticed it? |
9956 | or the good Duke Alfonso? |
9956 | sing_ Santa Lucia_--d''you hear?" |
9956 | you''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?'' |
35641 | About-- about Arthur? 35641 Alone?" |
35641 | And after that there''ll only be one other time before we go, wo n''t there, Leila? 35641 And can you remember_ nothing_?" |
35641 | And how about Tim? |
35641 | And what are you going to do? |
35641 | And what will mamma think of our leaving so soon? |
35641 | And where am I to spend the night, then? |
35641 | And yet,I persisted,"you would trust the post?" |
35641 | And you adhere to your determination not to see my-- not to see Daisy again? |
35641 | And,I added suddenly,"did you_ feel_ nothing?" |
35641 | And-- what man ever had such happy prospects? |
35641 | Are you awake, Lel? |
35641 | Are you not amazed, Helen? |
35641 | Are you sure you know the way? |
35641 | Arthur, is it some priest? 35641 As to the story itself-- what was old Devereux''s motive in concealing his own ring? |
35641 | But what are all these big packages? |
35641 | But-- oh, Leila, what_ could_ it be? 35641 Can one of you come over?" |
35641 | Can 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? |
35641 | Daisy,he exclaimed sharply,"what is the meaning of all this nonsense? |
35641 | Daisy? |
35641 | Do n''t you think it feels rather dreary, Helen? |
35641 | Do you remember which of the_ portières_"hung in front of the door at Finster?" |
35641 | Do you think that necessary? |
35641 | Does your sister-- does Lady West know about-- about this mysterious affair? |
35641 | For----he repeated in the queerest German I ever heard-- was it German? |
35641 | Herr Schmidt? |
35641 | How did you think we had all got in if you had not yet passed the Junction? 35641 How long are we to stay here?" |
35641 | How soon we get to---- Junction? |
35641 | How? 35641 Hugh,"she said hesitatingly,"you do n''t think-- it surely is not possible that his-- that Arthur''s brain is affected?" |
35641 | I wonder,said Daisy,"if she knows more?" |
35641 | If you had spoken to him, Charlotte, I wonder if he would have told you his secret? |
35641 | If, as I infer, the matter is one of great importance,I said,"would it not be well for me to start sooner? |
35641 | Is it like a man or a woman? |
35641 | Is it never going to stop? |
35641 | Is there anything the matter? |
35641 | Leila,she said in a whisper,"why have they-- did you know that the tapestry had been taken down?" |
35641 | Leila,she said piteously,"ca n''t you explain it? |
35641 | Leila,she said,"mamma wants to know what you are doing with Dormy? |
35641 | Little Nell,he said,"has she sent you down to me from heaven? |
35641 | Marion,he said,"at last? |
35641 | Mrs. Jones,cried she,"can you not get any one to go to look for my sister? |
35641 | No train for five hours? 35641 Not to-- her-- Daisy?" |
35641 | Oh, Leila, do n''t go-- you do n''t mean you are going now? |
35641 | Oh, Mrs. Jones, what will become of her? |
35641 | Oh, Philip, Philip, why did he not tell? |
35641 | Only what should he be doing at the clock at this time of night? 35641 Sighing?" |
35641 | The Black Lake? |
35641 | The express that leaves--and I named my own town--"at six in the evening?" |
35641 | The express? |
35641 | Then have you decided upon Raxtrew Rectory? |
35641 | Then what in heaven''s name is it? |
35641 | Then you can throw no light upon it-- none whatever? |
35641 | Then you do n''t think he can be a ghost? |
35641 | Then you do n''t think it is a trick? |
35641 | Then,I persisted,"this is the double- fast express, which does not stop between M---- and your Junction?" |
35641 | Then-- what train_ is_ this? |
35641 | Was it he? |
35641 | Was it moonlight? |
35641 | Was the Fawne Court carriage not here? |
35641 | Well, 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?" |
35641 | What are these? |
35641 | What clock do you mean? 35641 What do you mean to do?" |
35641 | What do you say, Walter? 35641 What do you want, Leila?" |
35641 | What is it? |
35641 | What is the matter, Dormy? |
35641 | What was it? |
35641 | What? 35641 What?" |
35641 | What? |
35641 | When do we start again for----? |
35641 | Where did they come from? |
35641 | Who do you think has been our fellow- lodger all this time, Helen? 35641 Whom shall we tell?" |
35641 | Why do you keep harping on the moon? |
35641 | Why, where are you going, child? |
35641 | Would you be frightened to go there with me now? 35641 You are sure it was the door into the library?" |
35641 | You mean to see for himself? |
35641 | You wo n''t sit up with him, I hope, father? |
35641 | You wo n''t tell me who he is? |
35641 | You''re not thinking of killing yourself, are you? |
35641 | You-- 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?" |
35641 | A monk who had gone through a life- time of spiritual struggle alone, unaided by human sympathy? |
35641 | And Trevannion; do n''t you know a Miss Trevannion, Bessie?" |
35641 | And at the Rectory? |
35641 | And how do you mean''sometimes''?" |
35641 | Are you going over to Rome, fancying yourself called to be a Trappist, or a-- those fellows at the Grande Chartreuse, you remember?" |
35641 | Are you mad?" |
35641 | Are_ you_ a dream?" |
35641 | As I passed the porter I repeated the hour he had named, adding:"That is the first train for---- Junction?" |
35641 | But as for Dormy,"he went on,"supposing I get mother to let me take him with me? |
35641 | But how was this? |
35641 | But look, Edith, how do you like this?" |
35641 | But where should we go? |
35641 | But who would have guessed that in one heart it was ever ringing with maddening anguish? |
35641 | Could it be so? |
35641 | Did I already suspect the truth? |
35641 | Do you hear, Daisy-- eh, what?" |
35641 | Do you think we must tell father before I go?" |
35641 | Do you think your employers will be pleased to hear of your insulting us, sir?" |
35641 | Edith started up as Helen convulsively clutched her, and exclaiming,"What in the world is the matter?" |
35641 | First and foremost-- why has the ghost stuck to the tapestry instead of to the actual spot he seemed to have wished to reveal? |
35641 | For his first inquiry late the next day, when glimmering consciousness had begun to revive--"Marion, the baby?" |
35641 | Had I been dreaming? |
35641 | Had 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? |
35641 | Had there been an accident-- some unforeseen necessity for stopping? |
35641 | Has Dormy told you anything?" |
35641 | Has no one seen him but you, Sybil?" |
35641 | Have I ever seen a ghost? |
35641 | Have they been converting or perverting you, my boy? |
35641 | Have you been quarrelling with Lingard? |
35641 | Have you ever seen your ghost again, Sybil? |
35641 | Have you found out anything about him?" |
35641 | Have you found out that there''s a strain of insanity in the Lingards perhaps? |
35641 | Have you no near neighbours?" |
35641 | His eyes had a different expression now-- or was it that something was gleaming softly in them that had not been there before? |
35641 | How could one fight a shadow? |
35641 | How long had I been asleep? |
35641 | How long had I slept? |
35641 | I exclaimed;"what_ possible_ motive could there be for a trick?" |
35641 | I 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? |
35641 | I was going to ask you,"and he half gasped--"it is nothing-- nothing about her that is at the root of all this misery? |
35641 | I wonder if I might use it?" |
35641 | I wonder, Keir, if you can throw any light upon it?" |
35641 | Is it about Arthur?" |
35641 | Is it all a dream-- this fine room, the music and all? |
35641 | Is that really all we have? |
35641 | Is that the mystery? |
35641 | Is that what you are talking about?" |
35641 | It could not be the Junction? |
35641 | Jones?" |
35641 | Leila, what_ can_ it be? |
35641 | Listen, ca n''t you hear its ticking, faintly, even here, at the end of that long passage?" |
35641 | Marion, my darling, why do n''t you speak? |
35641 | Might it not be that Marion''s prayers had brought them together? |
35641 | No fancy,"again the gasp,"that-- that she does n''t care for you, or love you enough? |
35641 | No 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?" |
35641 | Nothing wrong-- nothing to shock a girl like her? |
35641 | Oh, mamma, what can it be?" |
35641 | Or had the man with a cough, for his own nefarious purposes, mesmerised or hypnotised me, and to some extent succeeded? |
35641 | Or was it in any sense true? |
35641 | Or was it something peculiar about my own condition that caused it to have the unusual effect I now experienced? |
35641 | The other time it had been resolution temporarily hardening a youthful face; now-- what did it remind him of? |
35641 | The road skirts that old farmhouse; you know it, father? |
35641 | Was he a conjurer, a pupil of Maskelyne and Cook? |
35641 | Was he doing so on purpose? |
35641 | Was it all a dream, or a prophetic vision of warning? |
35641 | Was it possible that it had never been taken out to the barn at all? |
35641 | Was it something in the look that had passed between them? |
35641 | Was it the reflection of the candle he held, or did he look paler than usual? |
35641 | We have not-- Fagg, I am right, am I not-- we have received nothing by post?" |
35641 | We shook our heads, but what could we say? |
35641 | We''ve only got this house for three months?" |
35641 | Were 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? |
35641 | What happened? |
35641 | What in Heaven''s name are we waiting here for?" |
35641 | What is the matter? |
35641 | What sort of a winter are we going to have?" |
35641 | What was it? |
35641 | What was there peculiar about that coffee? |
35641 | What, then, were we doing here, and what_ was_"here"? |
35641 | What_ could_ I say? |
35641 | Where shall we hang them?" |
35641 | Where was he now? |
35641 | Who can say? |
35641 | Who do you think is the''strange gentleman''? |
35641 | Who knows what tragedy is bound up in it?" |
35641 | Why did a strange thrill of misgiving go through me? |
35641 | Why did she say that? |
35641 | Why do you not like the gallery?" |
35641 | Why, Malcolm, did you always shut your door as the clock struck thirteen?" |
35641 | Will you not see her to- night?" |
35641 | Wo n''t you tell me what it is?" |
35641 | Would he not help me?" |
35641 | You do n''t think, Philip, that there is anything of that kind-- melancholia, you know-- in his family?" |
35641 | You had not the pleasure of our company from M----, I take it? |
35641 | You have all the documents ready?" |
35641 | You have heard something? |
35641 | You understand?" |
35641 | You were alone, if I mistake not?" |
35641 | You were found-- no, not literally in the workhouse, was it?" |
35641 | You will tell Mrs. Trevannion and-- and Daisy that I will do my best?" |
35641 | You''ll come to meet us, wo n''t you?" |
35641 | Your 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? |
35641 | gasped Dormy,"the cold-- you feel it now?" |
35641 | he exclaimed,"Arthur, old fellow, are you going blind? |
35641 | he exclaimed,"and how about our shooting?" |
35641 | or did I discover his meaning by some preternatural cleverness of my own? |
35641 | repeated Miles,''you do n''t mean the people at Hallinger?'' |
35641 | said Mrs. Lindsay,"what do you mean?" |
35641 | thought 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. |
14045 | Ah!--you''re not offended? |
14045 | Ai n''t you comin''to the ghost, Jack? |
14045 | Am I getting fanciful? |
14045 | An auberge, then-- a cabaret-- anything? |
14045 | And I am now to tell you,she said,"about the mastodon?" |
14045 | And I, Camille? |
14045 | And Plancine? |
14045 | And did you see anything? |
14045 | And how about your head? |
14045 | And nothing else? 14045 And so,"I said,"Exciseman Jones was true to his word?" |
14045 | And that was a queer good- bye for ever, was n''t it? |
14045 | And the house and the gal? |
14045 | And what became of your grandfather? |
14045 | And what was that? |
14045 | And where did you see it, and when? |
14045 | And where, sir? |
14045 | And who was that? |
14045 | And why not? |
14045 | And why? |
14045 | And yer gone ter break wi''me fer thart? |
14045 | Are they not? |
14045 | Are you in pain? |
14045 | As to what? |
14045 | But how I lost it? |
14045 | But how may Madame who sees nothing; know then a spirit to be abroad? |
14045 | But supposing you, a murderer, to be haunted by the presentment of your victim? |
14045 | But, surely-- here we have a man of superior education, of imagination even? |
14045 | But_ did_ you ever see a ghost? |
14045 | Camille,I said,"why to- day hast thou shifted thy ground a little in the direction of the Buet ravine?" |
14045 | Camille,I whispered,"what is it?" |
14045 | Camille-- the cause? |
14045 | Can I not exchange a word with Mère Pettit,scolded the woman,"but thou must sneak from behind my back on thy crazed moon- hunting?" |
14045 | Can that be so? |
14045 | Can you come at once, sir? |
14045 | Could you, now? |
14045 | D''ee warnt to shake un from his perch? |
14045 | Did any one take that glass? 14045 Do you know where we stand?" |
14045 | Do you not fear? |
14045 | Doan''t I? 14045 Does Monsieur wish to know?" |
14045 | Find what? |
14045 | For 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?" |
14045 | George, you can not mean to insult my father? |
14045 | Had you ever a child down there? |
14045 | Has none of you got a key to this door? |
14045 | Have I said enough? 14045 Have n''t I? |
14045 | He came to-- of course, he came to? |
14045 | He is stricken, Madame? |
14045 | He was not always thus? |
14045 | His_ skeleton? 14045 How had he inveigled him there? |
14045 | How much could you put down of a night, Jack? |
14045 | How 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?" |
14045 | I do please; for why should I keep it to myself? 14045 In an engagement?" |
14045 | In what were they astray? |
14045 | Is he not a rare fellow? |
14045 | Is it not better than decided rejection? |
14045 | Is it ten thousand babes at play? 14045 Is it, then, that I must toil onwards to Châtelard?" |
14045 | Is that so? 14045 Is there-- is there no remedy?" |
14045 | It came to a climax, then? |
14045 | It was a nest of''em-- traffickers in the eternal fire o''weekdays, and on the Sabbath, who so sanctimonious? 14045 Lady Barbara? |
14045 | May I ask how you propose dealing with the new- comer? |
14045 | May I ask how you--? |
14045 | Mind? 14045 Monsieur does not know? |
14045 | Monsieur has seen it? |
14045 | My grandfather? 14045 My head? |
14045 | Now, confess to me, my man, I said,"what do you see?" |
14045 | Now, what do you fancy, sir? |
14045 | Of when do you speak? |
14045 | On the site of the old churchyard? |
14045 | One other trifle, George? |
14045 | Pardon,she said;"but he has been affronting Monsieur with his antics?" |
14045 | Say what? |
14045 | Shall I tell you what I saw then and many nights after? 14045 Sinner, sinner, why do you wait?" |
14045 | Sir-- friend,he said, in a confidential, hoarse whisper,"wo n''t you''elp a starvin''British workman?" |
14045 | Smugglers?'' |
14045 | So you will, will you? 14045 Supposing we seize the opportunity to explore?" |
14045 | Surely the habitual criminal has it in a marked degree? |
14045 | The treasure? |
14045 | They called him Dark Dignum, sir-- a great feat smuggler, and as wicked as he was bold,"Is your story about him? |
14045 | They? 14045 Toothache?" |
14045 | Well? |
14045 | Well? |
14045 | Were those words the last of its death- throe, or an echo from beyond? 14045 Whart''s he gone to do?" |
14045 | What are your symptoms? |
14045 | What didst thou hear? |
14045 | What do you see? |
14045 | What had happened? 14045 What is it all?" |
14045 | What is it, my George? |
14045 | What is it? 14045 What next, Camille? |
14045 | What now? 14045 What punishment, my poor Camille?" |
14045 | What''s up? |
14045 | Where is it? |
14045 | Who found him? |
14045 | Who may say? 14045 Who the devil are you, sir?" |
14045 | Who? |
14045 | Why did n''t one of you ask the Major if anything was wrong? |
14045 | Why do n''t''ee stir theeself and hunt for un, Jarge? |
14045 | Why was that? |
14045 | Why we were not dashed to pieces? 14045 Why, who-- but two- thirds of all Dunburgh?" |
14045 | Will you believe what follows? 14045 Will you have me moved if I tell you?" |
14045 | Will you tell me about it? |
14045 | Will 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?" |
14045 | Wilt thou lead me, Camille? |
14045 | Wrong? 14045 Yer doan''t mean thart?" |
14045 | Yet it sounds hollow, George? |
14045 | You are a poet? |
14045 | You are curious to know? |
14045 | You ca n''t? |
14045 | You did? |
14045 | You do n''t include them cockt hatses in your expeerunce? |
14045 | You have obtained your''copy''? |
14045 | You mean they take no heed that the Law may punish for that for which it gives no remedy? |
14045 | You will accept? |
14045 | You will not go to- night? |
14045 | You 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?" |
14045 | Yours? |
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? |
14045 | A whistle of imprisoned steam tricked into some horrible caricature of a human voice? |
14045 | A year ago, or two- thirds of a lifetime? |
14045 | And so, I suppose, your son''ll drink''dog''s- nose,''too?" |
14045 | And we pulled him, compatible with discipline, but--""But what?" |
14045 | And what had been his unrecorded fate? |
14045 | And what is the story?" |
14045 | And what would you fancy for your dinner, sir?" |
14045 | And will the yews root in_ my_ heart, I wonder? |
14045 | Are they not exquisite?" |
14045 | Are you hurt?'' |
14045 | But for his fall-- it was always unaccountable?" |
14045 | But why does he make such a mystery of his past? |
14045 | But why should one not climb the mountain by way of the glacier?'' |
14045 | Can the place have associations for him connected with his malady?" |
14045 | Canst thou force the casket, George?" |
14045 | Canst thou free my right arm, that I may feel for the lucifers in my pocket?'' |
14045 | Could I ever achieve that? |
14045 | Did I ever tell you he served under me in India? |
14045 | Did I ever tell you the story of Dark Dignum and Exciseman Jones?" |
14045 | Did any peculiarity in the dead man''s face strike you?" |
14045 | Do I know what I say? |
14045 | Do you hear it?" |
14045 | Do you remember them?" |
14045 | Do you trifle with your destiny? |
14045 | Does Monsieur seek a guide?" |
14045 | Dost thou see them? |
14045 | For why? |
14045 | For why? |
14045 | For, would you believe it, the man had at the moment been threatenin''me? |
14045 | Had he been a climber, an explorer-- a contemporary, perhaps, of Saussure and a rival? |
14045 | Had no one, then, ever thought of this before? |
14045 | Have I ever desired wealth save for my little_ pouponne_ here? |
14045 | His name, his rank, his very origin? |
14045 | How could he ever release him without ruining himself? |
14045 | How did I give my evidence at the inquest?" |
14045 | How do you know? |
14045 | How many of our friends round about here would be picking oakum now if they had made a gospel of that quotation?" |
14045 | I do n''t know what''s the matter, or-- Why do you hold me? |
14045 | I have a bedroom that is at Monsieur''s disposition, if Monsieur will condescend?" |
14045 | I said,"Who-- who, my friend?" |
14045 | I said,''Why not reverse the ladle so as to bring the deeper cup uppermost?'' |
14045 | I turned and said to the warder quietly,--"Is it long since this cell was in use?" |
14045 | I whispered,''what are you going to do with him?'' |
14045 | I''m afraid I interrupted-- eh?" |
14045 | Indeed, where was cause for one, or the subject of the other? |
14045 | Is it difficult to swallow? |
14045 | Is it in the neighbourhood?" |
14045 | Is it possible to descend to it from above?" |
14045 | Is it possible to make a man''s self his most precious possession? |
14045 | Is n''t it monstrous that a state- fixed degree of misconduct should earn a man social ostracism? |
14045 | Is that not bathos? |
14045 | Is there an hotel in Bel- Oiseau?" |
14045 | Is this ice-- these blocks of dirty alabaster?'' |
14045 | Is this your treasure?" |
14045 | Monsieur smiles?" |
14045 | Monsieur, wilt thou come?" |
14045 | My grandfather blew his''dog''s- nose,''and drank his clarinet like a artist and my father--""What did you say your grandfather did?" |
14045 | No doubt also one may know a spirit by the smell of sulphur?" |
14045 | No doubt, now, you will read between the lines of that bird speech down there?" |
14045 | Now, near at hand, what do we find it? |
14045 | Plainly: if I could procure you the post of resident doctor at D---- gaol, would you be disposed to accept it?" |
14045 | See, my friend, I wish but my own; and what proof of right have I if another should snatch the treasure?" |
14045 | Shall I state my system_ in nuce_? |
14045 | Shall he who has learnt to swim be always content to bathe in shallow water?'' |
14045 | Sinner, what is the sound you hear? |
14045 | Success, it was evident, must come, if at all, from a distance-- but how? |
14045 | Surely that was an odd and enigmatical condition, entirely remote from the subject at issue? |
14045 | THE BLACK REAPER PROEM Heaven''s Nursery"Sinner, sinner, whence do you come?" |
14045 | The Judge leaned stern from His Judgment Throne:_"I gave thee-- where is thy littte one? |
14045 | Then you''ve found her out?" |
14045 | They built their church anigh the margin, forasmuch as it was handy, and that they thought,''Surely the Lord will not undermine His own?'' |
14045 | Thoughts? |
14045 | To satisfy him, I asked Johnson to open the door of the next cell--""Well?" |
14045 | To slip into a crevasse, and so for the parted ice to snap upon him again, like a hideous jaw? |
14045 | Was it my father? |
14045 | Was it possible-- possible, that injured vanity could so falsify its victim''s every tradition of decency? |
14045 | Was not this astonishing enough? |
14045 | What are you whisperin''about, you blushful chap there by the winder?" |
14045 | What can I say, or how describe it? |
14045 | What could they prove agen him? |
14045 | What did I wish, or dread, or foresee? |
14045 | What did its expression convey to me? |
14045 | What did we see? |
14045 | What did you read?" |
14045 | What did you want with the ghosts of the dead?" |
14045 | What if the room_ were_ empty? |
14045 | What in all these fifty years had he forgotten? |
14045 | What induced me to swallow the insult, and even some of the pungent liquor of his rude offering? |
14045 | What is the cure for this? |
14045 | What palsied spirit, condemned to rust in inactivity, had found solace in this burlesque of shipcraft? |
14045 | What phantasy of old sea- dog or master- mariner had conceived it? |
14045 | What reason had I to be there at all, or, being there, to fear? |
14045 | What was it? |
14045 | What was the matter with him?" |
14045 | What worldling would not have read mania in much that was spoken by this sane woman? |
14045 | What''s the matter with him?" |
14045 | What''s there? |
14045 | Where be the tombstones of drownded mariners to prove it such? |
14045 | Who can think even in a high wind? |
14045 | Who knows? |
14045 | Who were they?" |
14045 | Who would have ventur''d to cross Dark Dignum''s fancies? |
14045 | Who''s confined in the next cell-- there, to the left?" |
14045 | Who, then, was responsible for them? |
14045 | Why does he treat me with such suave and courteous opposition-- permitting my suit, yet withholding his consent?" |
14045 | Why had we not been at once frozen to death? |
14045 | Why not wait till the morning?" |
14045 | Why will your father not yield you gracefully, instead of plying us with that eternal enigma of Black Venn?" |
14045 | Will one of you feel in his pockets?" |
14045 | Will you pardon me? |
14045 | Will you sketch them? |
14045 | Will you talk on, while I try to bring my scattered wits to a focus?" |
14045 | William Tyrwhitt paused, and"Well?" |
14045 | Wilt thou show me the way, Camille?" |
14045 | Yet did she fear, or I rush in? |
14045 | You can have no reason, of course?" |
14045 | You can not doubt my single- hearted devotion?" |
14045 | You noticed nothing else in his face-- a sort of obliteration of what makes one human, I mean?" |
14045 | You want to see inside, do you? |
14045 | a score o''wiselings, and not one to hit oot the means and the way?" |
14045 | do you hear me?" |
14045 | have you seen? |
14045 | they appeared to be saying;''and how will he look when he reissues?'' |
14045 | what did I see? |
14045 | when was it? |
14045 | will you believe me? |
14045 | you dare?" |
2565 | ''How shalt thou make us sure thereof?'' 2565 ''Wilt thou swear it?'' |
2565 | Alas that thou shouldst talk so,said a carle, rising up from the warm sand;"what shall all thy toil win thee?" |
2565 | And many that are as fair as ye be? |
2565 | And my boat? |
2565 | And that King of yours,said he,"how do ye name him?" |
2565 | And when,said Hallblithe,"shall I find a ship that shall carry me?" |
2565 | But tell me,said Hallblithe,"wilt thou also wax evil as thou growest old?" |
2565 | Dost thou call him a liar and a rogue? |
2565 | Dost thou loathe it, then,said the Hostage,"because of the evil thou hast done therein?" |
2565 | Even so,said the damsel,"dost thou not see how the sun shineth on it? |
2565 | Hath he no foemen to fear? |
2565 | Hath he no other name? |
2565 | How can I help thee? |
2565 | How do ye live, what work win ye? |
2565 | How many of such hast thou seen? |
2565 | How may I tell thee? |
2565 | How may I,said the man,"since thy fellow hath weapons?" |
2565 | How should I not? |
2565 | How should that be? |
2565 | How then if we go outward despite thy bidding? |
2565 | How then may I leave this Isle? |
2565 | I mean to ask rather,said the Fox,"what thou wilt give me for the bodies of these twain?" |
2565 | Is he here in this Isle? |
2565 | Is it the Glittering Plain? |
2565 | Is it ye who have stolen from me the Hostage of the Rose? |
2565 | Is she in this Isle, thou old runagate? |
2565 | Is there nought else to do? |
2565 | It is far from other lands? |
2565 | King,said Hallblithe,"wilt thou bring us together and stay my heart''s bleeding?" |
2565 | Nay, I deem it not,said Hallblithe:"But, tell me, is it verily true that my trothplight is not here, that I may ransom her?" |
2565 | Nay, nay,said Fox, smiling,"am I so evil- conditioned then? |
2565 | Nay,said he,"what is the evil, when henceforth I shall do but good? |
2565 | O Warden of the Uttermost House, wherefore should we forbear? |
2565 | Sawest thou the skerry? |
2565 | Seest thou any folk on the shore? |
2565 | Some one? |
2565 | Son,said the other,"hast thou heard it called the Isle of Ransom?" |
2565 | Tell me then who it is hath bidden thee bring me hither? |
2565 | Tell me, my son,said the Grandfather,"how many women are there in the world?" |
2565 | Thou art happy, Grandfather,said Hallblithe,"what good tidings hath morn brought us?" |
2565 | Well then,quoth Hallblithe,"what shall I wish thee? |
2565 | Well then,said Hallblithe,"why did the Puny Fox bewray me, and at whose bidding?" |
2565 | Well, then,said the elder,"how many exceeding fair women are there?" |
2565 | What do ye who live here? |
2565 | What is it? |
2565 | What land? |
2565 | What mayst thou do? |
2565 | What meanest thou? |
2565 | What,said Hallblithe,"art thou wending thither, thou old man?" |
2565 | What,said the elder,"must it be one woman only?" |
2565 | When, oh when? |
2565 | Who shall hinder him? |
2565 | Why didst thou lie to me the other day? |
2565 | Why should I not choose to go up on to the Island to deliver my trothplight maiden? 2565 Wilt thou carry her in thy pouch?" |
2565 | Yea, verily,said Hallblithe;"but will not some of the ship- wards, or some of the others returning, come up hither and find us? |
2565 | Yea,said Hallblithe,"but what ails thee to laugh so? |
2565 | Yea,said Hallblithe,"but what wilt thou call it?" |
2565 | Yea,said the elder,"is it so? |
2565 | Am I not in a land of foemen?" |
2565 | And he said:"What is this? |
2565 | And how could I tell that the Erne would give thee up unstolen? |
2565 | And still he wept in his dream, and his manhood seemed departed from him, and he heard a voice crying out,"Is this the Land? |
2565 | And thou, O beloved, why dost thou delay? |
2565 | And when, oh when, shall we depart?" |
2565 | And 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?" |
2565 | And who knoweth what thy wish may bring forth?" |
2565 | Are they dreaming- drunk before the wine is poured? |
2565 | Are they men or mountain- giants? |
2565 | Are they not all gone? |
2565 | Art thou glad or sorry, Hallblithe?" |
2565 | Art thou not afraid?" |
2565 | Art thou not therein, and I myself? |
2565 | At last he said:"Is this then all that thou hast to tell me concerning the Glittering Plain?" |
2565 | But Hallblithe knelt by the Sea- eagle to note how he fared, and said:"How is it with thee, O chieftain?" |
2565 | But Hallblithe laughed and said:"Why do ye hang back, then? |
2565 | But Hallblithe looked on him angrily and said:"Hast thou brought me hither to mock me? |
2565 | But Hallblithe said:"What is to do now? |
2565 | But he who had been king looked up and down and round about, and said at last:"Where be the horses and the men?" |
2565 | But his fellow with the red beard said:"Raven- son, in this land when they journey, what do they as to riding or going afoot?" |
2565 | But tell me what is that upon thy cheeks?" |
2565 | But tell me, beloved, I deemed that thou hadst not seen Fox before; how then can he have helped the Erne against thee?" |
2565 | But tell me, is this the Land of the Glittering Plain?" |
2565 | But the sad man spake again and said:"Thou hast an errand sayest thou? |
2565 | But the third, the sorry man, cried out aloud, saying:"Where is the Land? |
2565 | But what is it which thou wouldst? |
2565 | But what sayest thou concerning the brotherhood with the Erne?" |
2565 | But what wilt thou do with thy thrall the Puny Fox; and whereto in the hall wilt thou have him shown? |
2565 | But what winds are o''er- cold For the heart of the bold? |
2565 | But ye men, what hindereth you to go to the horses''heads and speed on the road the chieftain who is no longer way- worthy?" |
2565 | Did I not well to bring thee into my unroofed house?" |
2565 | Did they try thee hard last night?" |
2565 | Do what thou wilt; am I not become thy friend?" |
2565 | Dost thou not hear the horn''s voice? |
2565 | Dost thou remember the day?" |
2565 | For dost thou know any more than I do what hath befallen thy beloved since thou wert sundered from her? |
2565 | Hallblithe started back at the sight of him, and cried out at him, and said:"Have I found thee, O mine enemy?" |
2565 | Hallblithe wondered and laughed, and said:"Who art thou that deemest me so dear?" |
2565 | Has the spear fallen from thine hand, and hast thou buried the sword of thy fathers in the grave from which thy body hath escaped? |
2565 | Hast 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? |
2565 | He knew not what to answer, and held his peace; and she spake again:"Whither wouldest thou, what seekest thou?" |
2565 | Hearest thou, O chieftain, O Erne of the Sea- eagles?" |
2565 | Hearest thou, chieftain?" |
2565 | Hereat Hallblithe marvelled exceedingly, and he said:"And what am I in all this story? |
2565 | How art thou? |
2565 | How long, O folk, shall your chieftains sit fasting?" |
2565 | How sayest thou, is he enough thy friend?" |
2565 | In a while the old man opened his eyes again, and said in a low peevish voice:"Why standest thou staring at me? |
2565 | Is he also a friend? |
2565 | Is it not enough?" |
2565 | Is it not time to rest?" |
2565 | Is the Grey- goose of the Ravagers in the hall? |
2565 | Is this a lie?" |
2565 | Is this the Land?" |
2565 | Is this the Land?" |
2565 | Is this the Land?" |
2565 | May we hearken, and mayhappen amend it?" |
2565 | Might he not flit me at least to the Land of the Glittering Plain? |
2565 | Nay, why didst thou not slay me as I crept out of yonder hole? |
2565 | Now Hallblithe was troubled when she read out these words, and he said:"What is this tale about a book? |
2565 | Now the Erne spake:"Wilt thou not take the chair and these dainty song- birds that stand about it? |
2565 | Now ye women, whither will ye lead us? |
2565 | O fowl of our fathers, why now are ye resting? |
2565 | Oh come to- morrow at the least and latest, or what shall I do, and wherewith shall I quench the grief of my heart? |
2565 | Or else why am I the daughter of the Undying King, the Lord of the Treasure of the Sea? |
2565 | Or 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?" |
2565 | Or hast thou made peace with them? |
2565 | Or look thou, Raven- son, is there not a path yonder that leadeth onward up to the brow of the ghyll again? |
2565 | Or shall he have the cheer of whipping and stripes, as befitteth a thrall to whom the master oweth a grudge? |
2565 | Or tell me, thou old man,"said he fiercely,"is it perchance a thrall- market whereto they are bringing me? |
2565 | Or what sayest thou?" |
2565 | Or what sayst thou, Puny Fox?" |
2565 | Or where deemest thou was the garden wherein thou sawest her standing on the page of the book in that dream of the night? |
2565 | Or wilt thou that he sit fasting in the darkness to- night, laid in gyves and fetters? |
2565 | Quoth he:"Whither away? |
2565 | Quoth the Sea- eagle:"Shipmate and friend, what hath betided? |
2565 | Raven''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?" |
2565 | Said 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?" |
2565 | Said Hallblithe, and his voice sounded big in the hall:"Who calleth Hallblithe a fool and mocketh at the sons of the Raven?" |
2565 | Said Hallblithe, smiling on the Hostage:"What hast thou to say to it, beloved?" |
2565 | Said Hallblithe,"And when thou art come aland there, what wilt thou do?" |
2565 | Said Hallblithe,"Is this land called also the Acre of the Undying?" |
2565 | Said Hallblithe:"And shall I also have that gift of undying youth, and life while the world of men and gods endureth?" |
2565 | Said Hallblithe:"Art thou going to meet some one who shall make thee glad before thou diest, old man?" |
2565 | Said Hallblithe:"But may not some of them come up hither perchance?" |
2565 | Said Hallblithe:"Dost thou not owe me a joy in return for my beguiling?" |
2565 | Said Hallblithe:"Is there not my bark, that I might depart at once? |
2565 | Said Hallblithe:"What is this land called?" |
2565 | Said the Grandfather:"Why should I tell it thee? |
2565 | Said the Hostage:"Shall I trust this man and go with him?" |
2565 | Said the King:"Where else than in this land wilt thou find rest? |
2565 | Said 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? |
2565 | Said the Sea- eagle:"Why now do the shipmen tarry and have not made ready the skiff? |
2565 | Said the damsel:"May we guest here to- night?" |
2565 | Said the elder:"And I wish thee more wits; is luck all that thou mayst wish me? |
2565 | Said the elder:"There is noise amidships, what are they doing?" |
2565 | Said the last speaker:"Did thy kin or didst thou steal him, O evil man?" |
2565 | Said the old carle,"Whither wouldest thou my son?" |
2565 | Said the old man:"Sawest thou a rocky skerry rising high out of the sea anigh the shore?" |
2565 | Said the sad man:"Will ye lead us to the King? |
2565 | Shall it not be so, sweetheart?" |
2565 | Shall not sweet life begin for thee from henceforward?" |
2565 | Shall this not be enough for thee?" |
2565 | Shall we wound the living to pleasure the dead, who can not heed it? |
2565 | So came the Warden to the door, clad in red scarlet, and the elder went up to him and said:"Is this the Land?" |
2565 | So he stayed his walk and stood still, and said:"Will any man speak to Hallblithe, a newcomer, and a stranger in this Stead?" |
2565 | So the Erne laughed and said:"Shall we have a word with War- brand then?" |
2565 | So the old man sat up and said:"What hast thou seen?" |
2565 | So when he saw those others coming, he gave them the sele of the day, and said to Hallblithe:"What is it to be? |
2565 | Some one, young man? |
2565 | Spake the Elder of Elders:"Was not death on either hand e''en now, even as treason besetteth the king upon his throne?" |
2565 | Spake 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?" |
2565 | Spake the voice:"Why cometh not the fool to the man that may not go to him?" |
2565 | Tell 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?" |
2565 | The Sea- eagle shook his head, and quoth he:"Art thou still seeking a dream? |
2565 | The 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?" |
2565 | The old chieftain turned himself about and said"What hast thou seen?" |
2565 | The sad man hung his head and spake:"Doth not some new trap abide us? |
2565 | Then Hallblithe began, wondering at his voice as he spake:"Art thou a woman and my speech- friend? |
2565 | Then Hallblithe flushed red and spake:"Knowest thou the Puny Fox?" |
2565 | Then Hallblithe laughed and said:"Art thou nettled, fellow- in- arms, at the word of a woman who knoweth thee not? |
2565 | Then Hallblithe said:"Art thou a Fox? |
2565 | Then he came back again to the Sea- eagle, who said to him:"Son, what hast thou seen?" |
2565 | Then 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?" |
2565 | Then he laughed, as a hen cackles a long while, and then said:"What more wilt thou ask me?" |
2565 | Then he said:"Hath a woman named the Hostage been brought hither of late days? |
2565 | Then he said:"Were it not well if I were to seek that house- master of whom Fox spake? |
2565 | Then he said:"Will ye hearken to the word of an evil man, a robber of the folks?" |
2565 | Then said Hallblithe:"Hast thou verily gotten thy youth again, which thou badest me wish thee?" |
2565 | Then said Hallblithe:"Wilt thou have me row, for I wot not whitherward to steer?" |
2565 | Then said Hallblithe:"Wilt thou not slay me, O King, since thou wilt not do aught else?" |
2565 | Then said one of them:''Which of all you maidens is the Hostage of the House of the Rose?'' |
2565 | Then said the Sea- eagle:"What have we yonder?" |
2565 | Then she said:"Art thou verily Hallblithe? |
2565 | Then spake the King, smiling upon him, as erst:"What wilt thou then? |
2565 | Then 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? |
2565 | Then they all three bowed their heads in yea- say, and spake:"''Where is the Land? |
2565 | Then they all three cried aloud and said:"Is this the Land? |
2565 | Then was Hallblithe appeased somewhat; and he said:"Are there many women in the land?" |
2565 | We shall wend it yet, The highway wet; For what is this That our bosoms kiss? |
2565 | What art thou, O Warrior, in the land of the alien and the King? |
2565 | What do we here? |
2565 | What field have ye looked on, what acres unshorn? |
2565 | What guests are these From over the seas? |
2565 | What is it I have said or done?" |
2565 | What is thy will with him?" |
2565 | What know I? |
2565 | What land have ye left where the battle- folk gathers, And the war- helms are white o''er the paths of the corn? |
2565 | What lieth sweet Before our feet? |
2565 | What luck may an outworn elder have?" |
2565 | What more canst thou have than the Gifts of the land?" |
2565 | What sayest thou?" |
2565 | What sayest thou?" |
2565 | What seas are o''er- high For the undoomed to die? |
2565 | What then? |
2565 | What token hath come To lead us home? |
2565 | What wilt thou do? |
2565 | What would he with us?" |
2565 | Whence are ye and whither, O fowl of our fathers? |
2565 | Where is the Land?" |
2565 | Where is the Land?" |
2565 | Where is the land?" |
2565 | Where now shall be the alien shores before thee, and the landing for fame, and departure for the gain of goods? |
2565 | Whither away?" |
2565 | Who be these whom ye have brought hither for the increase of our joy? |
2565 | Who beateth the door By the foot- smitten floor? |
2565 | Who is this tall, ruddy- faced, joyous man so meet for the bliss of the Glittering Plain? |
2565 | Who liveth, who dieth? |
2565 | Whose thrall art thou now, thou lifter of the spoil, thou scarer of the freeborn? |
2565 | Why am I come hither with thy furtherance?" |
2565 | Why do they not sit down in their places, and abide the bringing in of the meat? |
2565 | Why dost thou stand as if thy fair feet were grown to the grass?" |
2565 | Why should not I go, since there are men to bear me aboard?" |
2565 | Why should they not have come to Cleveland also?" |
2565 | Will any man speak to the new comer?" |
2565 | Will they slay us, or shut us up from the light and air? |
2565 | Wilt thou come over the waters with me?" |
2565 | Wilt thou fight here in boat, O Fox?" |
2565 | Wilt thou hearken?" |
2565 | Wilt thou not come thither with me and rest thee to- night; and to- morrow we will talk of this matter?" |
2565 | Wilt thou not help me?" |
2565 | Wilt 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? |
2565 | Wilt thou then dwell with me here, or shall we go back again to Cleveland by the Sea? |
2565 | Wouldst thou have me wish thee youth?" |
2565 | Yea, 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? |
2565 | am I death- doomed this morning that this sight cometh so clearly upon me amidst the falseness of this unchanging land?" |
2565 | am I not with thee? |
2565 | and am I not alone in this sea- girt wilderness? |
2565 | and how this was to be the prize of battle, that the vanquished should serve the vanquisher year- long, and do all his will? |
2565 | and why should not this matter of the book be one of the things that hath befallen her? |
2565 | art thou also dead that thou hast a grave here?" |
2565 | burned, and drowned, and slain and died abed? |
2565 | is it such as a dead man may do?" |
2565 | is this aught save death?" |
2565 | now am I of that woful company, and I also must needs cry out, Where is the land? |
2565 | said Hallblithe,"dost thou deem that aught save my sword will speak to thee?" |
2565 | said Hallblithe;"art thou not a robber of the sea, a harrier of the folks that dwell in peace?" |
2565 | said Hallblithe;"may I see him?" |
2565 | said the Sea- eagle,"wilt thou then hinder us perforce?" |
2565 | said the elder;"what one? |
2565 | shall I be less than thy brother- in- arms henceforward?" |
2565 | though I am thy thrall, have I not the look of a thrall- huckster from over sea leading up my wares to the cheaping- stead?" |
2565 | who should it be but the Puny Fox? |
2565 | why hast thou not gone forward to look upon the land? |
2565 | wilt thou be a sluggard on the day of thy wedding? |
2565 | wilt thou eat?" |
2565 | ye ride early this morning; are there foemen abroad in the Isle?" |
5894 | ''Bout fifty-- did I? |
5894 | A tiger you shot, was it, or just-- a tiger? |
5894 | About fifty, I think, you mentioned? |
5894 | About what? |
5894 | All right,she said at once,"same as usual, I suppose?" |
5894 | And do things over and over again-- sort of double-- and no hurry? |
5894 | And does it matter much? |
5894 | And does n''t wear out or stain, does it? |
5894 | And how often,came the rebuke, automatically rather,"has your Mother told you_ not_ to be familiar with the Gardener? |
5894 | And is it a big wood? |
5894 | And look at the colour, will you? |
5894 | And me? |
5894 | And me? |
5894 | And old? |
5894 | And that''s why it''s shy,the man held them to the main point,"and dislikes showing itself--""But why is its game lonely?" |
5894 | And 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? |
5894 | And then, and then? 5894 And then,"she asked,"what happened next?" |
5894 | And this little person,one of these inquisitive, interfering visitors would ask, smiling fatuously;"how old is she, I wonder?" |
5894 | And what d''you think? |
5894 | And what sort of a day would it be, then, this Extra Day of yours? |
5894 | And when, pray? |
5894 | And you are going on to--? |
5894 | And you call yourself an Officer of the Law? |
5894 | And you eat anything? |
5894 | And you get up when you''re ready, do n''t you? |
5894 | Anyhow he gets about, does n''t he? |
5894 | Are we going right? |
5894 | Aunty, what''s yours? 5894 But are we to look for him, or he for us?" |
5894 | But do n''t you see? 5894 But do you realise what it means?" |
5894 | But everything must come from somewhere, must n''t it? |
5894 | But how do you know the time? |
5894 | But how on earth did you know? 5894 But it''s only the beginning, is n''t it?" |
5894 | But what''s the good of being alive, even like a daisy, unless others know it--_us_, for instance? |
5894 | But what_ did_ it whisper? |
5894 | But who knows it? |
5894 | But 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?" |
5894 | Butter or honey? |
5894 | Can he get small, then-- like that? |
5894 | Care to see The Times, William? |
5894 | Coming back? |
5894 | Could know that daisies are alive? |
5894 | Could n''t none of them swim or anything? |
5894 | D''you hear that curious sound? |
5894 | D''you mean that may stop it coming? |
5894 | D''you think Uncle Felix knows anything? 5894 D''you think he''s offended?" |
5894 | D''you understand what''s happened? |
5894 | Did he call us bonny little ones? |
5894 | Did it tell the others? |
5894 | Did n''t I tell you''tender and beautiful,''and''bang out in the open''? |
5894 | Did n''t I tell you? |
5894 | Did n''t_ you?_There was pain in her voice in addition to blank astonishment. |
5894 | Did she mend your clothes and things-- and love to care for you? |
5894 | Did the butter give itself to you as well as the chicken? |
5894 | Did they hear it? |
5894 | Did you hear it? |
5894 | Did you hear them? |
5894 | Did you notice it this morning? |
5894 | Did_ you_ wind it up? |
5894 | Do n''t other countries smell, then? |
5894 | Do pigs really see the wind, as Daddy says? |
5894 | Do you remember when we first met each other, and you looked into my opening eyes? |
5894 | Do you take sugar, please? |
5894 | Does n''t he, Tim? |
5894 | Eh? |
5894 | Exactly,he repeated cautiously, yet with some great emotion working in him,"what is a calendar? |
5894 | Found any? |
5894 | Found anything? |
5894 | From? |
5894 | Good- evening,remarked Maria;"are you warm?" |
5894 | Got a handkerchief with you? |
5894 | Had n''t you better change first? |
5894 | Happy as what? |
5894 | Has he passed this way? 5894 Has it lost its breath?" |
5894 | Have you ever seen a rabbit come_ out_ of its hole? |
5894 | Have you got a tail, too? |
5894 | Have you really? |
5894 | He could n''t have got up a tree, could he, or into a bird''s nest? |
5894 | Headache? |
5894 | Hiding, is he? |
5894 | Hiding? |
5894 | How could it? |
5894 | How could it? |
5894 | How did you guess that I was looking for anything? |
5894 | How do you know? |
5894 | How do you spell it? |
5894 | How else can I climb up? |
5894 | How ever did you find it out? |
5894 | How on earth did you manage it? |
5894 | How? 5894 However did you get it-- in there?" |
5894 | I mean, could any one tell you were English by your smell? |
5894 | I should n''t be surprised, would you? |
5894 | Into Mrs. Horton''s kitchen? |
5894 | Is everything all right? |
5894 | Is it a clean one? |
5894 | Is it really_ that_? |
5894 | Is that all? |
5894 | Is that all? |
5894 | Is there? |
5894 | It never ends, you mean? |
5894 | It was to be your particular adventure, was n''t it? |
5894 | It would never end, of course, for one thing, would it? 5894 It''ll go on to- morrow night?" |
5894 | It''s a snail shell-- er-- I believe? |
5894 | It''s all right? |
5894 | It''s what did they_ do?_ And who thought of it first? |
5894 | It''s what did they_ do?_ And who thought of it first? |
5894 | It_ is_ a woman, then? |
5894 | Like laughter, is n''t it? |
5894 | Listen, will ye? 5894 Looking, are you?" |
5894 | Lost something, have you? |
5894 | Mis- laid, eh? |
5894 | Mis- laid? |
5894 | Must n''t it? |
5894 | No, Bridget? |
5894 | No? |
5894 | Of course,Tim helped him unexpectedly;"and a man ca n''t be a woman, can it?" |
5894 | Oh, 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?" |
5894 | On purpose? |
5894 | Once? |
5894 | Only you ca n''t remember what it looks like quite? |
5894 | Oo calls me orl that? |
5894 | Or Weeden? |
5894 | Or p''r''aps it''s_ somebody_, d''you think? |
5894 | See it? |
5894 | Shall we break_ both_ legs? |
5894 | So long ago that the chalk cliffs of England still lay beneath the sea--"Was Aunt Emily alive then? |
5894 | So you came out? |
5894 | So you''re in your eighth year, are you? |
5894 | So you''re looking too? |
5894 | Some one must have made it-- some day-- mustn''t they? |
5894 | Some one very wonderful? |
5894 | Something_ is_ coming,affirmed Judy in an undertone for the twentieth time,"but_ I_ think it will be after tea, do n''t you?" |
5894 | That all? |
5894 | The chickin? |
5894 | The clock-- or the day, Uncle? |
5894 | The milk and stuff? |
5894 | Then is your heart still burning, Uncle Felix? |
5894 | Then what''s an orgully occasion? |
5894 | Then what_ is_ a daisy? 5894 Then, what kind of a day_ would_ you choose, Maria? |
5894 | There lived a man in a very small, queer little island called Ingland, spelt''Ing,''not''Eng,''who--"It was n''t_ our_ England, then? |
5894 | They know everything first, of course,said Uncle Felix aloud;"they''re up so early, are n''t they?" |
5894 | They''ll be as good as gold-- won''t you, Judy? |
5894 | They_ are_ alive,she asked that afternoon,"are n''t they? |
5894 | This morning, was n''t it? |
5894 | Time always prevents, does n''t it? 5894 To- morrow morning?" |
5894 | Two lumps? |
5894 | Uncle? |
5894 | Was it long ago? 5894 Was n''t it, Judy?" |
5894 | Was the elephant friendly? |
5894 | We can fill it with anything we like? |
5894 | Well,he continued,"what''s the good of them until you_ think_ something about them-- think them into something-- some game or meaning or other? |
5894 | Were their lives_ very_ dull? |
5894 | Were they friendly? 5894 What can yer igspect when a Radical govunment''s in?" |
5894 | What d''you think? |
5894 | What did it whisper? |
5894 | What did the mouse do? 5894 What do_ you_ think about it?" |
5894 | What does he really look like? 5894 What has he done?" |
5894 | What has he done? |
5894 | What in the world made you first think of it? |
5894 | What is he then, I''d like to know? |
5894 | What is it, Uncle? |
5894 | What is it? 5894 What is it?" |
5894 | What is it? |
5894 | What is it_ really_--the Night- Wind? |
5894 | What is your sadness? |
5894 | What made you guess? |
5894 | What more d''you want, I''d like to know? 5894 What sort of coat was it? |
5894 | What time was it? |
5894 | What''s become of it? 5894 What''s he done?" |
5894 | What''s on? |
5894 | What''s up? |
5894 | What''s_ he_ come for? |
5894 | What? |
5894 | What? |
5894 | What? |
5894 | What? |
5894 | What_ did_ he say, then-- the old Smiler? |
5894 | What_ is_ your secret, Maria? |
5894 | When did it stop, I ask you, Tim? |
5894 | When did it stop? |
5894 | When will it begin? |
5894 | Where are you now? 5894 Where is he?" |
5894 | Where we all come from, did you say? |
5894 | Where_ does_ England come from? |
5894 | Wherever has he got to? |
5894 | Which is--? |
5894 | Which means--? |
5894 | Which road did he take? |
5894 | Which way, do_ you_ think? |
5894 | Which way? 5894 Who in the world can make it look as you do? |
5894 | Who is it? |
5894 | Who, then, did you promise-- whom, I mean? |
5894 | Why into his left ear? |
5894 | Why is n''t there a day- wind too? |
5894 | Why not? 5894 Why not? |
5894 | Why not? 5894 Why not?" |
5894 | Why not? |
5894 | Why not? |
5894 | Why not? |
5894 | Why, why, why? |
5894 | Why? |
5894 | Why? |
5894 | Why_ does_ a butterfly fly so dodgy? |
5894 | Will you come with us and look too? |
5894 | Will you have tea and coffee, or milkhotwaterandsugar? |
5894 | William, you''re not going to bed, are you? |
5894 | Wings? |
5894 | Wonderful moment,--dawn, ai n''t it, General? |
5894 | Would n''t you, William? |
5894 | YOU know wot I mean, do n''t yer, missie? |
5894 | Yes, but it is a woman, is n''t it? |
5894 | Yes, but where does everything come from? |
5894 | Yes? |
5894 | You never, never grow old, do you? |
5894 | You 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?" |
5894 | You say the man you want to find is old and ragged and looks like a tramp? |
5894 | You see what it all means-- this strange stopping of the clock-- at Dawn? |
5894 | You see what''s happened? |
5894 | You were on an elephant, then? |
5894 | You wound it? |
5894 | You''ll come back with us? |
5894 | You''re very hungry, are n''t you? |
5894 | You_ have_ seen him, then? |
5894 | _ From?_she repeated. |
5894 | _ Why_ do you know nothing? |
5894 | _ You_ was the singer, was you? |
5894 | An overcoat or just an ordinary one that smelt? |
5894 | And I hate biscuits, and ginger makes me hot and ill--""Iller than you are already?" |
5894 | And I ought to know, because, as I say, I lived with it for days--""Inside it?" |
5894 | And have your dinner in your room, and a warm drink just before going to sleep? |
5894 | And what signs have you got?" |
5894 | And what''s the prize?" |
5894 | And why, in the name of goodness, could n''t they all agree about it? |
5894 | At least,_ he_ thought so...."And the tiger?" |
5894 | But did you ever see such a snail shell in your lives before? |
5894 | But how? |
5894 | But we heard--"he broke off in the middle of the sentence--"That_ was_ you singing, was n''t it?" |
5894 | But what--? |
5894 | But why do they all shut up at night? |
5894 | But, of course, you never get tired out?" |
5894 | CHAPTER XIV MARIA STIRS"Uncle,"he began with a rush lest his courage should forsake him,"where does everything come from? |
5894 | Ca n''t you tell me?" |
5894 | Ca n''t_ you_ help? |
5894 | Come- Back Stumper chuckled audibly, but Uncle Felix asked at once--"And you, WEEDEN? |
5894 | Did he give you anything?" |
5894 | Did he love them awfully?" |
5894 | Did they thank the rabbit?" |
5894 | Did you hear''em? |
5894 | Do n''t you see? |
5894 | Eh?" |
5894 | Everything and everybody in the whole wide world is looking, but the signs are different for everybody, do n''t you see? |
5894 | Everything in the world, I mean?" |
5894 | Everything would be all right, do n''t you see?" |
5894 | For a long time--""That was the bananas tickling him, I suppose?" |
5894 | For what explanation could there possibly be of that? |
5894 | Hark, Alfred, d''ye hear that singing far away?" |
5894 | Has Uncle Felix given you the moon or rolled the sun and stars into a coloured ball?" |
5894 | Has n''t he?" |
5894 | Have you seen any one?" |
5894 | He began forthwith:"Once, very long ago--""How long?" |
5894 | He could make a selection-- choose those he liked best, and leave the others-- couldn''t he? |
5894 | He did not doubt as they did:"Oh, Judy, where?" |
5894 | He paused, then added:"Have you seen a man about?" |
5894 | He repeated instead:"However could it?" |
5894 | He said furiously,"How are you, creatures?" |
5894 | He''s simply beautiful, and he''s_ got no beard at all!_""And he''s your brother, is he?" |
5894 | Here, Maria, pick up my wool, darling, will you?" |
5894 | His expression suggested"Why_ are_ you so noisy and enormous? |
5894 | How can you let them burn?" |
5894 | How could he live without furniture, house, regular meals-- without possessions, in a word? |
5894 | How could it be otherwise? |
5894 | How could the sea have anything to do with it? |
5894 | How had they missed it up till now? |
5894 | How long?" |
5894 | How?" |
5894 | However did you escape? |
5894 | I dressed-- rushed out-- and--""Had it laid an egg?" |
5894 | I lived in its cave with the cubs and other things, half- eaten deer and cows and the bones of Hindus--""Were the bones black? |
5894 | I mean-- shall we recognise him?" |
5894 | I wonder what it comes from?" |
5894 | I wonder what it''s up to?" |
5894 | I''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?" |
5894 | IT saved them, then?" |
5894 | Is 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?" |
5894 | Is that it?" |
5894 | Is that where you got_ your_ song from?" |
5894 | Is that why--?" |
5894 | It is n''t where we come from, But why should we appear? |
5894 | It was an unexpected sort of question:"Do you know what it is we want?" |
5894 | It was infinitely bigger than her original question,"Why?" |
5894 | It was the most extraordinary tiger that was ever known--""In India?" |
5894 | It went about so quickly, too, that they could n''t catch hold of it and--""But have_ you_ seen it?" |
5894 | It''s awfully shy--""Why is it awfully shy?" |
5894 | It''s just an invention of scientific men to measure the passing of-- Time, you see?" |
5894 | It''s really inexplicable, Extr''ordinary, queer: Why_ should_ we come and talk a bit, And then-- just disappear? |
5894 | It''s so beautiful that it makes you wonder, and it''s so mysterious that it makes you--""What?" |
5894 | It''s still in the world, is n''t it?" |
5894 | It_ might_ be true, but--"Hide- and- seek?" |
5894 | Judy repeated the word after him immediately; it was obvious; why had n''t she thought of it herself? |
5894 | Listen, will you?" |
5894 | Maria was round; why did n''t they dance round her? |
5894 | Maria''s question entered the dream of the entire garden:"Why not? |
5894 | Mother looked up from her knitting with a gentle smile and said,"Does it, darling? |
5894 | On his return from London every evening the first thing he asked was,"What have you all been up to to- day? |
5894 | Out of the breathless silence sprang a voice at once:"Was the elephant badly hurt?" |
5894 | See what I mean?" |
5894 | See?" |
5894 | See?" |
5894 | See?" |
5894 | THE COMMON SIGNS V"But has he called yet?" |
5894 | The 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?" |
5894 | Their minds went questioning at once:"What_ is_ a calendar?" |
5894 | Then Judy asked, still more timidly:"I say, Tim?" |
5894 | There was an interval of some thirty seconds, and then Tim asked:"But who thought_ him_?" |
5894 | There''d be no time?" |
5894 | They do n''t go of theirselves, do they?" |
5894 | They''re plain enough, are they not?" |
5894 | Uncle Felix and Judy had been wonderful, but--"Did you see him blink,"said Tim,"when Judy went up and gave it him hot?" |
5894 | Was it the risk of staining that he meant? |
5894 | Was n''t it, perhaps, that they looked in different ways-- all for the same thing? |
5894 | Was that the only pocket in it?" |
5894 | Were they all after the same thing, or after a lot of different things? |
5894 | What about yourself, I wonder?" |
5894 | What could it be-- this very, very wonderful thing? |
5894 | What country, please?" |
5894 | What did it mean? |
5894 | What did it mean?... |
5894 | What did the squirrel whisper in his good right ear? |
5894 | What do you say to a turn of hide- and- seek? |
5894 | What had happened? |
5894 | What happened next? |
5894 | What is a daisy? |
5894 | What is it really?" |
5894 | What is it?" |
5894 | What is it?''" |
5894 | What is your little trouble?" |
5894 | What was it all about? |
5894 | What was it? |
5894 | What was the best thing to be done? |
5894 | What was the meaning of it all? |
5894 | What was the use of dancing unless there was something to dance round? |
5894 | What were they after? |
5894 | What were they? |
5894 | What''s that?" |
5894 | What''s yours, Aunty?" |
5894 | What_ is_ your secret? |
5894 | Whatever in the world--?" |
5894 | When Daddy enquired how the asparagus was doing, he obtained for reply,"Wo n''t you come and see it for yourself, sir?" |
5894 | Where was he? |
5894 | Where-- when-- had they seen him groping before like that, almost on all fours? |
5894 | Who asked you in?" |
5894 | Who--"she changed the word--"what closes them?" |
5894 | Why ask these terrible questions? |
5894 | Why beat it? |
5894 | Why did n''t the tiger eat you?" |
5894 | Why not, indeed? |
5894 | Why not? |
5894 | Why not? |
5894 | Why not? |
5894 | Why not?" |
5894 | Why not?" |
5894 | Why not?" |
5894 | Why not?..." |
5894 | Why pick it? |
5894 | Why should n''t I take a turn in the garden too?" |
5894 | Why should we be here? |
5894 | Without 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? |
5894 | Would all die before they found it? |
5894 | Would they never know? |
5894 | You know who it is?" |
5894 | You said too,--just now-- something about-- a sign, I think?" |
5894 | You''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. |
5894 | and Judy exclaimed"Did you really?" |
5894 | asked Judy carefully--"exactly?" |
5894 | asked Maria blandly,"or just his neck?" |
5894 | cried the Policeman, laughing rudely,"and he jest wears all that get- up for fun, do n''t he?" |
5894 | he asked gently,"very early?" |
5894 | he asked in a whisper,"the dawn, I mean? |
5894 | he asked softly,"and why do you put such questions to me now? |
5894 | he observed,"singing and laughing mixed together?" |
5894 | he whispered:"I felt it had a message for me-- brought_ me_ a message-- something to tell me--""Round its neck or foot?" |
5894 | inquired Tim,"anything you can, I mean?" |
5894 | inquired the boy,"or butter and honey?" |
5894 | said Stumper impatiently;"see what it is?" |
5894 | she asked kindly,"or would you like to, perhaps? |
5894 | she asked,"or one?" |
5894 | they asked gravely;"and why does it sound so_ very_ different from the wind in the morning or the afternoon?" |
