| 22743 | Ai n''t you a reckless youngster ter face up the majesty of the law in this here way? |

| 22743 | And did n''t she save ye a tidy fortun''when she straightened out that Tintacker Mine trouble for ye, Jabez Potter? |
| 22743 | And do n''t you really think, Uncle, that girls are any use in the world? |
| 22743 | And how long must he lie here? |
| 22743 | And is that all the kind of help you think you''ll ever need, Uncle? |
| 22743 | And not entirely because he is a handsome, black- eyed rascal, eh? |
| 22743 | And the other gal? |
| 22743 | And was n''t Ruth smart to see that he had no right to this poor little sheep? |
| 22743 | And where are the Gypsies now? |
| 22743 | Are n''t we ever going to get to that town? 22743 Are n''t you ready, Ruthie?" |
| 22743 | Are you really interested in it, Ruth? |
| 22743 | Are you sure you ca n''t speak to me, Roberto? |
| 22743 | Are you the blacksmith, sir? |
| 22743 | At least, I''ll ask him----"But what good will_ that_ do? |
| 22743 | But I did n''t know-- they might suspect? |
| 22743 | But how will he know? |
| 22743 | But what is it? |
| 22743 | But where could those girls have gone? 22743 But where have they gone?" |

| 22743 | By whom? |
| 22743 | Car? 22743 Could I ever forget a single detail of that awful time?" |
| 22743 | Did you ever know why they call that thing in your elbow the funny bone? |
| 22743 | Did you get her? |
| 22743 | Did you look along the shore when we were down there to the lake just now? |
| 22743 | Do you mean all that, Robert? |
| 22743 | Do you suppose Roberto knows about it? 22743 Do you suppose Tom will find us?" |
| 22743 | Do you suppose he knows all about the necklace-- how his grandmother became possessed of it, and all? |
| 22743 | Do you suppose this old thing is crazy? |
| 22743 | Do you suppose,whispered Helen,"that we could climb out of one of these windows after she falls asleep?" |

| 22743 | How much''ll ye give? |
| 22743 | How? |
| 22743 | However can I thank you-- or repay you? |
| 22743 | Huh? 22743 I know, but----""Do n''t you believe it is_ so_?" |
| 22743 | If it had n''t been for that boy----"What did he say his name was? |
| 22743 | In this rain? |
| 22743 | Is he more hurt than you thought? |
| 22743 | Is it very far yet? |
| 22743 | Is n''t he cunning? 22743 Is n''t that wonderful?" |
| 22743 | Is the old man hurt? |
| 22743 | It is n''t possible that for some reason he does n''t_ wish_ to speak? |
| 22743 | Just what have you in_ your_ bag? 22743 Like regular brigands, eh?" |
| 22743 | Lot''s of sugar, eh? |
| 22743 | Mebbe it''s what she''s been doing to_ me_? |
| 22743 | Missy not afraid of Roberto? 22743 Necklace?" |
| 22743 | No? |
| 22743 | Not that boy who helps Foyle? |
| 22743 | Now, do n''t be tellin''me th''bye has been inter mischief? |
| 22743 | Now, tell me, Dusty Miller, what do you think about girls being of some use? 22743 Now, where are you going to take me?" |
| 22743 | Of course you two girls ca n''t lift him? |
| 22743 | Oh, how? |
| 22743 | Oh,_ that_? |
| 22743 | Perhaps get him into trouble? 22743 Perhaps-- who knows?" |
| 22743 | Recovered his spache, has he? 22743 She''ll probably bring trunks full of nice dresses to school and loads of jewelry----""Wo n''t that be silly? |
| 22743 | Straw, Ruth!--why do n''t you say? |
| 22743 | Suppose it leaks? |
| 22743 | Sure o''that? |

| 22743 | Was n''t he a mean old thing? |

| 22743 | What they got ter do with it? |
| 22743 | What was the matter? 22743 What will he think?" |
| 22743 | What will we do with him? 22743 What you been doing to my pretty, Jabez Potter?" |
| 22743 | What you going to do with it, Ruthie? |
| 22743 | What''s that, dear? |
| 22743 | What''s that? |
| 22743 | What''s that? |
| 22743 | What''s that? |
| 22743 | What''s that? |
| 22743 | What''s the matter with that feller? |
| 22743 | What''s the matter, Missy? |
| 22743 | What''s the matter, Sairy? |
| 22743 | What''s the matter? |
| 22743 | What? |
| 22743 | Whatever shall we do? |
| 22743 | When was this? |
| 22743 | Where are your shirts? |
| 22743 | Where is she? |
| 22743 | Where is your wagon? |
| 22743 | Where''d you steal all that money, ye young ruffian? 22743 Who are you, little ladies?" |
| 22743 | Who are you? |
| 22743 | Who be ye, young man? |
| 22743 | Who else is here? |
| 22743 | Who is that? |
| 22743 | Who would n''t be? |
| 22743 | Who''s this? |
| 22743 | Whoever could she be-- and where have they gone with her? |
| 22743 | Whoever heard of a ghost with teeth? |
| 22743 | Why do n''t you let her fit you now, too, Ruth? |
| 22743 | Why does the little missy say I should work? |
| 22743 | Why not? |
| 22743 | Why put it that way, Mercy? |
| 22743 | Why should she govern? 22743 Why so?" |
| 22743 | Why, if the police knew that, they''d get back the necklace, would n''t they? |
| 22743 | Why? |
| 22743 | Why? |
| 22743 | Will we have to walk? |
| 22743 | Will you hear_ that_? |
| 22743 | Wish the old car had kept running----"Through the rain? |
| 22743 | Wo n''t that be fine? 22743 You are Belle, my great- granddaughter, and you are touched here-- eh?" |
| 22743 | You are doing no outside work, Miss Fielding? |
| 22743 | You are not ill, Miss Fielding? |
| 22743 | You are not working too hard in the gym.? |
| 22743 | You do n''t mean that he is dumb? |
| 22743 | You do n''t really think so, dear? |
| 22743 | You do not fear the arts of my people? |
| 22743 | You do not know me, Miss Fielding? |
| 22743 | You have heard him speak? |
| 22743 | You know the excuse the sheriff and that Constable Peck, at Severn Corners, gave? |
| 22743 | You mean to say you do n''t know what two- fold chemical change Lot''s wife underwent? |
| 22743 | You must go away----"Nothing has happened at home? 22743 You save me, Missy, like I save your old man-- eh?" |
| 22743 | You''ll let those bats all out here----"Bats? |
| 22743 | Young ladies,said the stranger, in a pleasant voice,"are you in trouble? |
| 22743 | ''Where did you learn such grammar? |
| 22743 | Ai n''t nothin''broke down, hez there?" |
| 22743 | And I''d like to know,"added Ruth, with rather a bitter little laugh,"who will pay_ my_ ransom?" |
| 22743 | And how could Ruth say"No?" |
| 22743 | And was he the one who had railed at the division of some stolen treasure, and had spoken with covetousness of the beautiful pearls? |
| 22743 | And what would they say if she appeared at the exhibition in her old costume? |
| 22743 | At that moment there appeared upon the farmhouse porch a little, bent old woman who hailed them in a shrill, sweet voice:"What''s the matter, gals? |
| 22743 | But Gypsies_ do_ carry off people----""And eat them?" |
| 22743 | But I never have money with them, and why should I work for it elsewhere?" |
| 22743 | By that time, where would the girl from the Red Mill be? |
| 22743 | CHAPTER VIII WHAT WAS IT ALL ABOUT? |
| 22743 | CHAPTER XIX CAN IT BE POSSIBLE? |
| 22743 | CHAPTER XX HE CANNOT TALK"Is he badly hurt?" |
| 22743 | Can I help you at all?" |
| 22743 | Can I work? |
| 22743 | Can It Be Possible? |
| 22743 | Can we go home with you?" |
| 22743 | Clothing? |
| 22743 | Could she buy a little of the crimson ribbon and put it on her old uniform and thus pass muster? |
| 22743 | Did n''t you find Ruth with them?" |
| 22743 | Do n''t ye see I ai n''t got no night bell? |
| 22743 | Do n''t you know that they carried off both my sister here and Ruth Fielding?" |
| 22743 | Do you think I''m afire, Ann Hicks?" |
| 22743 | Do you?" |
| 22743 | Does she not seize them as her own?" |
| 22743 | He say I haf to_ pay_ for my sleep-- eh? |
| 22743 | Heard about her?" |
| 22743 | Helen put her lips to Ruth''s ear, and whispered:"Does_ that_ mean she is going to hold us for ransom? |
| 22743 | How came you to start all that riot?" |
| 22743 | How poor Gypsy pay?" |
| 22743 | I have left the Gypsy boy forever behind-- eh?" |
| 22743 | I showed her that I had some money, so that she would believe I could pay you for some work I wanted done----""What work?" |
| 22743 | Is Roberto inside?" |
| 22743 | Is n''t Ruth as good as any boy?" |
| 22743 | Is n''t it so, Missy?" |
| 22743 | Is n''t she funny?" |
| 22743 | Is your husband at home?" |
| 22743 | It is a dog''s work-- no? |
| 22743 | It is not taking too much out of you?" |
| 22743 | Money? |
| 22743 | My sister and Ruth Fielding?" |
| 22743 | Or, would you have me like my grandmother? |
| 22743 | Other things that people strive for in the main? |
| 22743 | Peck?" |
| 22743 | Rich food? |
| 22743 | Shell I hitch on?" |
| 22743 | Should she order one, or should she not? |
| 22743 | Suppose Tom should come abruptly into the house? |
| 22743 | Suppose the punt had sprung a leak, or capsized? |
| 22743 | That is better than trading horses-- eh?" |
| 22743 | That she shall escape so easily Zelaya? |
| 22743 | The five thousand dollars reward----""You have n''t found the necklace?" |
| 22743 | The instructor had selected the twenty girls herself, and what excuse-- what honest excuse-- could Ruth give for demanding her release? |
| 22743 | The poor Gypsy scarcely knows where to lay her head, but you little ladies have great houses and much money-- eh?" |
| 22743 | The question which at once arose, when the sixteen girls Nettie chose had been invited to the feast, was who should stand guard? |
| 22743 | Tom touched her arm and pointed downward:"Tramps?" |
| 22743 | Uncle Jabez-- Aunt Alvirah----?" |
| 22743 | Was he swimming again? |
| 22743 | Was her reason for not wishing to break into that roll of coin a bad one, after all? |
| 22743 | Was she purely selfish in trying to get out of buying the new dress? |
| 22743 | Was she with old Zelaya''s tribe?" |
| 22743 | Was that an answer? |
| 22743 | Was_ this_ one of those two ruffians? |
| 22743 | We grew fearful when it became dark----"The gray lips opened again:"You own the motor- car, little ladies?" |
| 22743 | Were these two of Roberto''s tribesmen? |
| 22743 | What Was It All About? |
| 22743 | What can he think of us?" |
| 22743 | What could it mean? |
| 22743 | What is the matter?" |
| 22743 | What kind of a car? |
| 22743 | What would the girls say, if she did that? |
| 22743 | What''s the matter, Jabez? |
| 22743 | What''s the use of carting around so much stuff?" |
| 22743 | Whatever have you girls been doing since last evening? |
| 22743 | Where did you go to?" |
| 22743 | Where''s the nearest doctor?" |
| 22743 | Who is she?" |
| 22743 | Who was it ate three plates of floating island last night for supper?" |
| 22743 | Why ca n''t_ I_ be of use to you-- in time, of course?" |
| 22743 | Why did he not run to the store and bring other men to help? |
| 22743 | Why do n''t you own up that Ruthie''s more good to you than a dozen boys would be?" |
| 22743 | Why do they think the Gypsies took it?" |
| 22743 | Why should she expect him to be different from his tribesmen? |
| 22743 | Why was it I did n''t drown?" |
| 22743 | Ye see this cut in my head?" |
| 22743 | You know how he talked that day in the deserted house to the other Gypsy?" |
| 22743 | You sure you wanter pay ten dollars for this job?" |
| 22743 | Your sister has been with the''Gyptians?" |
| 22743 | ai n''t I spendin''a fortun''on her schoolin''at that Briarwood Hall?" |
| 22743 | and carry the ropes and everything else of value?" |
| 22743 | cried Heavy, with wide open eyes,"you would n''t want me to leave them and let them go to waste, would you? |
| 22743 | do n''t you remember about her aunt losing that be- a- utiful necklace last spring?" |
| 22743 | do you live near here? |
| 22743 | hear the thunder? |
| 22743 | if the poor fellow has been made speechless by that fall, how_ can_ he talk?" |
| 22743 | is he a friend of yours, Ruthie?" |
| 22743 | is n''t she smart?" |
| 22743 | is n''t that strange? |
| 22743 | is thet so?" |
| 22743 | that dog mos''have me, eh?" |
| 22743 | then you do not live near here?" |
| 22743 | they_ did_ teach ye suthin''at thet school''sides folderrols, did n''t they?" |
| 22743 | what about your ortermobile?" |
| 22743 | what are you two Infants following me so closely for?" |
| 22743 | what d''ye call well?" |
| 22743 | what did I say this very day? |
| 22743 | what would I ever do if Ruth disappeared and we should n''t meet each other again-- or not until we were quite grown up? |
| 22743 | what''s that?" |
| 22743 | whatever shall we do?" |
| 22743 | where do you suppose Tom is? |
| 22743 | where shall we go?" |
| 22743 | why did n''t ye say so?" |
| 22743 | wo n''t he be just_ mad_ when he hears about it?" |
| 22743 | would n''t you like to win_ that_?" |
| 22743 | you did_ that_?" |
| 22743 | you heard it?" |
| 22743 | you''re not badly hurt, are you?" |
| 14630 | After retiring bell? 14630 Ai n''t he a scoundrel?" |
| 14630 | Ai n''t ye got a dog, Preston? 14630 And I expect you''d rather work in the woods than anywhere else?" |
| 14630 | And Tom? |
| 14630 | And did n''t any of you think how we were going to get back to shore? |
| 14630 | And draw that constable right to this place where you want to leave Jerry''s tin box? |
| 14630 | And how did you get back here to Cliff Island? |
| 14630 | And if he do n''t appear, what then? |
| 14630 | And if that''s so, then the boss has n''t got a clear title to Cliff Island-- eh? |
| 14630 | And this is the young lady who spoke a good word for the boy in the first place? |
| 14630 | And yet you have n''t found the box you say your uncle hid? |
| 14630 | And you''ve lived in the woods? |
| 14630 | And your father has just bought it? |
| 14630 | Anybody from the house? |
| 14630 | Aw, what''s the odds? |
| 14630 | But how did you find your way back here to the island? |
| 14630 | But how, Tom? 14630 But may I talk with him about you?" |
| 14630 | But on what charge? |
| 14630 | But suppose something happens to him? |
| 14630 | But the title to the island? |
| 14630 | But what can you expect from a lot of rubes? |
| 14630 | But what''s become of him? |
| 14630 | But you have n''t got to tramp it, now? |
| 14630 | But you know the other way out, Ruthie? |
| 14630 | But-- can you carry me? |
| 14630 | Ca n''t a boy be lost? |
| 14630 | Ca n''t we lift him into the car? 14630 Can it be some wild animal?" |
| 14630 | Caves? 14630 Cliff Island?" |
| 14630 | Did I? 14630 Did n''t I tell you we all want to help you?" |
| 14630 | Did n''t you know_ that_? 14630 Did n''t you live anywhere else but in the woods?" |
| 14630 | Did that Jerry Sheming bring you? |
| 14630 | Do I? |
| 14630 | Do n''t you know it will soon be night? 14630 Do n''t you men know that Cliff Island is private property? |
| 14630 | Do n''t you see that the girls will give out before we''re half- way there? 14630 Do you know him?" |
| 14630 | Do you see who is going to head the party? 14630 Do you suppose those horrid men will find Jerry?" |
| 14630 | Do you suppose we could find torchwood in that pile yonder? |
| 14630 | Does this-- this_ tyke_ belong in here? |
| 14630 | For to put up tramps? |
| 14630 | Goin''to have Preston send that boy back to the mainland? |
| 14630 | Have you done what I tol''you? 14630 He is a dangerous man, then?" |
| 14630 | How about it, Ruth? |
| 14630 | How can he? 14630 How can you get lost-- with us fellows along?" |
| 14630 | How can you? |
| 14630 | How could I hide him? |
| 14630 | How did that come out? 14630 How did you do that?" |
| 14630 | How do you expect us to see? |
| 14630 | How long do you suppose we would exist on these rations? |
| 14630 | How shall we find our way, though, if it''s dark? |
| 14630 | How under the sun did you suppose a thing like this was going to be propelled? |
| 14630 | How would he know the way to get into this tunnel? |
| 14630 | How would you? |
| 14630 | How''ll we see our way? |
| 14630 | How? 14630 How?" |
| 14630 | How? |
| 14630 | I do n''t believe you belong near here? |
| 14630 | I suppose Fielding has made her a Sweetbriar already-- eh? |
| 14630 | I suppose the doctors are busy up there with other passengers? |
| 14630 | I suppose we must take him? |
| 14630 | I thought you said you could find the way? |
| 14630 | I wanter know why not? 14630 I''d like to know what ye call it, Niece Ruth?" |
| 14630 | I''d look nice; would n''t I? |
| 14630 | Is n''t he a snarly old customer? |
| 14630 | Is n''t that a coincidence? |
| 14630 | Is n''t that mean? |
| 14630 | Is n''t''Ann Hicks''sensible- sounding enough? 14630 Is there room for him?" |
| 14630 | Is this the girl who is interested in Jerry? |
| 14630 | It could n''t be anybody hunting us, do you suppose? |
| 14630 | Like a box of money, or papers? |
| 14630 | Looking for work, you said? |
| 14630 | Lots of people were hurt in the cars a good deal worse than Mr.--Mr.----? |
| 14630 | Narrows the choice down, and we''ll be surer of hitting the right one-- eh, Ruthie? |
| 14630 | Not as far as Montana? 14630 Now we''re all right, are we, Ruth?" |
| 14630 | Now what, Ruthie? |
| 14630 | Now, you would n''t refuse a job with Mr. Tingley; would you? |
| 14630 | Of a strained leg? |
| 14630 | Oh, is n''t it a mean, mean shame? |
| 14630 | Ready all? 14630 Remember the spill I had with Ruth and that Heavy girl? |
| 14630 | Ride? 14630 See yonder?" |
| 14630 | See''em snickering and grinning? 14630 Shall we get out here, girls?" |
| 14630 | Shall we stop and make a fire here, girls, and warm up before we return? |
| 14630 | So you''re Tingley''s lady? 14630 Suppose I could get you a job working right where you''ve always lived-- at Cliff Island?" |
| 14630 | Suppose Jane Ann does n''t come, Ruth? |
| 14630 | Take the off one on my team, then----"That old plug? 14630 That puts_ me_ in bad, then-- eh?" |
| 14630 | The girl I helped through the car window? |
| 14630 | The island? 14630 There has n''t been a wreck?" |
| 14630 | They''re coming back? |
| 14630 | Think-- think I did it on purpose? |
| 14630 | Threw him off the train? |
| 14630 | Tingley-- is that the name? |
| 14630 | Well? 14630 What am I good for if it ai n''t to work?" |
| 14630 | What are you afraid of, Rufus? 14630 What are you eating, Heavy?" |

| 14630 | What crowd is that over at the west end of the island? |
| 14630 | What d''ye mean-- Cliff Island? |
| 14630 | What do ye reckon your Aunt Alvirah keeps that spare room for? |

| 14630 | What does it matter if she is n''t quite up to the average yet in recitations? 14630 What does it mean?" |
| 14630 | What for? |
| 14630 | What have you to say for your protà © gà © now, Miss? |
| 14630 | What is it? 14630 What is the matter,_ Bella mia_?" |
| 14630 | What is the matter? |
| 14630 | What kind of a menagerie am I supposed to preserve order in----? |
| 14630 | What kind of water, I''d like to know, Miss? |
| 14630 | What lake? |
| 14630 | What rock do you mean? |

| 14630 | What will mother say? |
| 14630 | What will the other folks say? |
| 14630 | What''s all this shooting about? |
| 14630 | What''s that? |
| 14630 | What''s the matter with Ann? |
| 14630 | What''s up? |
| 14630 | What, pray? |
| 14630 | What_ is_ it? |
| 14630 | Where are you hidin''the rascal? |
| 14630 | Where did he go? |
| 14630 | Where is Ruth? |
| 14630 | Where will he run to? |
| 14630 | Where''d it go? |
| 14630 | Where''s the nearest-- and the best? |
| 14630 | Where-- where are we? |
| 14630 | Where-- where did it all come from? |
| 14630 | Where? |
| 14630 | Which do you suppose he would like best? |
| 14630 | Which way do we go? |
| 14630 | Who do you suppose those men are? |
| 14630 | Who ever heard of water that would n''t freeze? |
| 14630 | Who is Jerry Sheming? |
| 14630 | Who is this Rufus Blent? |
| 14630 | Who''s the old gee- gee with the whiskers? |
| 14630 | Why let him go, then? |
| 14630 | Why not? |
| 14630 | Why should_ that_ make a difference? |
| 14630 | Why, do you know, I believe if Uncle Pete once had this box in his possession again that he might recover his mind? |
| 14630 | Why? |
| 14630 | Why? |
| 14630 | Why? |
| 14630 | Will we be breaking the law if we do n''t report this poor fellow to the constable here, if we see him? |
| 14630 | Will you look out for him, Mr. Cameron, if I leave him in your care? |
| 14630 | With boots on? 14630 Yes, sir?" |
| 14630 | You are n''t out of funds? 14630 You are sick, Miss Ruth?" |
| 14630 | You could find the way through the hill to where you came out of the cave with Jerry; could n''t you, Ruth? |
| 14630 | You do n''t suppose anything has happened to Ruthie? |
| 14630 | You do n''t want me, of course? |
| 14630 | You girls think a lot of each other; do n''t you? 14630 You let me know every few days where you are, Jerry?" |
| 14630 | You mean on this morning train? |
| 14630 | You remember that time in the primary grade, just after we''d come here to Briarwood, Belle? |
| 14630 | You would n''t expect the boat to drift against the current, would you? |
| 14630 | You''re not so awfully sure; are you? |
| 14630 | Your uncle''s money? |
| 14630 | And he a backwoods boy, with two guns?" |
| 14630 | And of late years he got so queer-- before they took him away----""Took him away?" |
| 14630 | And this is the girl I have been getting letters about-- Miss Hicks?" |
| 14630 | And us pulling this sled, too? |
| 14630 | Are there caves on the island?" |
| 14630 | Are they after me?" |
| 14630 | Blent?" |
| 14630 | Blent?" |
| 14630 | But how about the girls?" |
| 14630 | But this poor fellow----""Who is he?" |
| 14630 | But you think, Ruth, that perhaps it was in this buried cave that old Mr. Tilton hid his money box?" |
| 14630 | CHAPTER XI A NUMBER OF THINGS There may have been good reason for the teacher to be horrified, but how else was the mustang to be ridden? |
| 14630 | CHAPTER XVII CHRISTMAS MORNING"How under the sun did you get here, Ruth?" |
| 14630 | Ca n''t I climb a tree almost as well as Ann Hicks?" |
| 14630 | Can I ever live up to such an ancestress as_ that_?" |
| 14630 | Could it be possible that those rough men dared fire their guns at Jerry Sheming? |
| 14630 | Did you think I could go to Briarwood without you?" |
| 14630 | Did your uncle have any deed to it? |
| 14630 | Do n''t you see how dark it is, sis?" |
| 14630 | Do n''t you see?" |
| 14630 | Do n''t you, Ralph?" |
| 14630 | Do you suppose there is any danger?" |
| 14630 | Eh, girls?" |
| 14630 | Goin''back to- day, of course, Preston; ai n''t you?" |
| 14630 | Have you got that Jerry Sheming off the island? |
| 14630 | He''s left the constable----""Lem Daggett?" |
| 14630 | Help her? |
| 14630 | How came you folks in this cave?" |
| 14630 | How were they going to stand with the teachers? |
| 14630 | How would the studies be arranged for the coming months of hard work? |
| 14630 | How would they be treated? |
| 14630 | I reckon he would n''t believe we had such hunting here in the East-- eh?" |
| 14630 | Is he off?" |
| 14630 | Is it some of Blent''s doings?" |
| 14630 | Is that old Blent up yonder?" |
| 14630 | Jerry?" |
| 14630 | Just then Bob looked at his watch in the firelight, and exclaimed:"No wonder it seems dark-- do you know it''s half after four right now?" |
| 14630 | Mr. Tingley ai n''t coming up to- day?" |
| 14630 | Must he discharge Jerry because Rufus Blent says so?" |
| 14630 | Not Ruth Fielding?" |
| 14630 | Now, what could I have said else? |
| 14630 | Or do you want me to take it down to the brookside alone?" |
| 14630 | Or was the poor boy foolish enough to try to frighten his pursuers off with the weapons which Ruth very well knew he had in the cave with him? |
| 14630 | Ralph is n''t going to get lost-- what d''ye think he is?" |
| 14630 | Should she know the direct tunnel then? |
| 14630 | Surely nothing has happened to Jane Ann?" |
| 14630 | The boy was naturally frightened-- how could he help being? |
| 14630 | There are n''t any more infants to christen, I hope?" |
| 14630 | There must be something in this story, or why should"Uncle Pete,"as Jerry called him, have lost his mind over the catastrophe? |
| 14630 | They ai n''t bound this way, are they?" |
| 14630 | Tingley?" |
| 14630 | Tissue paper covered something very choice----? |
| 14630 | Was she going to school without any real reason for it? |
| 14630 | What d''ye s''pose is the matter with them?" |
| 14630 | What do you say, Ruthie?" |
| 14630 | What do you say?" |
| 14630 | What do you suppose your father will say to the constable taking the men with him this morning to hunt Jerry down?" |
| 14630 | What do you think he''ll find?" |
| 14630 | What has Jerry done?" |
| 14630 | What island?" |
| 14630 | What meanest thou, Sir Oracle?" |
| 14630 | What of that mean old Rufus Blent?" |
| 14630 | What panther?" |
| 14630 | When your Uncle Dudley----""But how are we going to warn Jerry to run before this constable catches him?" |
| 14630 | Where''s she gone? |
| 14630 | Who are you?" |
| 14630 | Why did n''t Davison send him to the hospital? |
| 14630 | Why do n''t you make her behave? |
| 14630 | Would you go back?" |
| 14630 | You do n''t suppose the folks will be foolish enough to start out hunting for us till it''s over; do you?" |
| 14630 | You have money?" |
| 14630 | You know that my brother is all right again?" |
| 14630 | You think so, too, Miss Fielding?" |
| 14630 | You understand? |
| 14630 | You were the girl who befriended the boy in the first place?" |
| 14630 | You''re one of those boys staying with the Tingleys?" |
| 14630 | You''ve heard tell on''t?" |
| 14630 | You_ can_ fling a rope; ca n''t you, Miss?" |
| 14630 | can you shoot with that?" |
| 14630 | do you believe so?" |
| 14630 | do you really think this is right?" |
| 14630 | do you take charge here?" |
| 14630 | ejaculated the somewhat spiteful Mercy,"do you call yourself a female George Washington?" |
| 14630 | got an infant there?" |
| 14630 | he is n''t_ dead_?" |
| 14630 | hear that?" |
| 14630 | how could her Uncle Bill be so thoughtless as to name her that, when she was left, helpless, to his care?" |
| 14630 | how deep can that place be?" |
| 14630 | interrupted Ruth,"What do you mean by that?" |
| 14630 | it hurt ye, eh?" |
| 14630 | what do you know about that?" |
| 14630 | what is it?" |
| 14630 | what is that?" |
| 14630 | what shall we do?" |
| 14630 | what shall we do?" |
| 14630 | what will he do?" |
| 14630 | whatever are you doing?" |
| 14630 | would n''t it make Bashful Ike''s eyes bulge out? |
| 14630 | you do n''t believe_ that_, Bobbins?" |
| 14630 | you see what she did?" |
| 15720 | A runaway horse? |
| 15720 | Alfy Dupoy? 15720 All for me? |
| 15720 | All right Wonota ca n''t leave Joe to work for you, eh? 15720 Am I to be that girl?" |
| 15720 | And how many pretty girls did the same, Captain Tom? |
| 15720 | And if you had money how would you go about looking for Chief Totantora? |
| 15720 | And surely,Helen added quickly,"you do not suppose that it was her fault? |
| 15720 | And that is why you wish to keep on earning money? |
| 15720 | And that left the show flat in Chicago? |
| 15720 | And what did he run away for, do you suppose? |
| 15720 | And_ then_? |
| 15720 | Are you alive? |
| 15720 | Are you crazy? 15720 As-- as_ you_ sometimes say, Jennie,''how do you get that way''? |
| 15720 | Beware of Dakota Joe? |
| 15720 | Both your Henri and Helen''s Tom have had to go back--"Helen''s Tom? |
| 15720 | But what do you suppose that Dakota Joe will say? |
| 15720 | But what do you think she said when I put that up to her-- about it''s being a slow job? |
| 15720 | But what has happened, Wonota? |
| 15720 | But, say, Ruth, I want to know just what I am going to work for? 15720 But, shall I have to be in that half- Indian costume Mr. Hammond told me to wear? |
| 15720 | Ca n''t you imagine admiring a nice young man? |
| 15720 | Ca n''t you let me forget my avoirdupois at all? |
| 15720 | Can she get expression into her face? 15720 Did n''t see Dakota Joe anywhere about, did you?" |
| 15720 | Did you see what I saw? |
| 15720 | Do n''t you think so, Jennie? |
| 15720 | Do you remember that maniacal creature that attacked our motor- car that time we went to Silver Ranch, years and years and years ago? 15720 Do you see that?" |
| 15720 | Do you think we know our own minds? 15720 Does n''t he say anything about a surprise for me?" |
| 15720 | For_ me_? |
| 15720 | Give her_ carte blanche_ as to goods and cost--"Would that be wise? |
| 15720 | Has he got to know? |
| 15720 | Has n''t he an ugly look? |
| 15720 | Have you lost your old love for the wild and open places? |
| 15720 | He chasin''that colored girl? |
| 15720 | He says nobody ever helped him get up in the world, so why should he help others? |
| 15720 | Heh? 15720 Her?" |
| 15720 | How can I play that I am in love when I have never seen a man I cared for-- in that way? |
| 15720 | How long is what going to last? |
| 15720 | Huh? 15720 Huh?" |
| 15720 | I am to be on the watch for the''hand in the dark,''am I not? 15720 I did get off the track, did n''t I?" |
| 15720 | I guess you been playin''two- faced, ai n''t you, ma''am? |
| 15720 | I suppose you might call her a''shooting star''? |
| 15720 | I want to know who did that? |
| 15720 | I wonder if his eyes are blue and if he has a moustache? |
| 15720 | I would beware of him? 15720 If I ca n''t kiss my own soldier, why should n''t I practise on you?" |
| 15720 | Is a redman so much superior to a white man? 15720 Is he killed?" |
| 15720 | Is n''t it nice to be so perfectly satisfied with one''s self? |
| 15720 | Is n''t that a fact? |
| 15720 | Is n''t that cute? 15720 Is that a dreadful grizzly? |
| 15720 | Is that so? |
| 15720 | Is the white lady injured, Conlon? |
| 15720 | Is there much difference, after all, between that and the presidential chair? |
| 15720 | It is a regular Western cinema drama, is n''t it? |
| 15720 | Makin''one o''them picture- shows right here on the public road? 15720 Mr. Grand? |
| 15720 | No? |
| 15720 | Now, what can that be? |
| 15720 | Oh, is it? |
| 15720 | Or am I thinking too, too much about mankind? |
| 15720 | Ready? 15720 Run where?" |
| 15720 | Running which way? |
| 15720 | See what? |
| 15720 | Shall we really go to the show? |
| 15720 | So the appearance of Wonota''s father was the great surprise you had in store for us, Tom? |
| 15720 | So you could not really respect such a man as I describe here if he allowed a girl to help him? |
| 15720 | Some wigwam this, is n''t it, Wonata? |
| 15720 | Tell the police_ what? 15720 That is what you mean?" |
| 15720 | The man who had Wonota in his show? |
| 15720 | Then he is in jail? 15720 Then why laugh at Wonota?" |
| 15720 | There who is? |
| 15720 | They are movie fans? |
| 15720 | Up there on the other bank? 15720 Well, Jabez Potter, I do n''t see why not?" |
| 15720 | Well, Ruth,cried the broadly smiling Tom,"is that the way you greet your best chum''s brother? |
| 15720 | Well, how about it? |
| 15720 | Well, sir? |
| 15720 | Well, was n''t that handy? |
| 15720 | Well, why should n''t he be cautious? 15720 Well,"Ruth asked soberly,"who is there that is not interested in getting his or her picture taken? |
| 15720 | Well,grumbled Jennie, afterward,"what answer was there to make to that? |
| 15720 | What are you doing, Wonota? 15720 What did he look like?" |
| 15720 | What did you do that for, Wonota? |
| 15720 | What did you mean, Wonota? |
| 15720 | What do you expect me to do about it, Mr.--er-- Dakota Joe? |
| 15720 | What do you expect us to do? 15720 What do you know about that, Boss? |
| 15720 | What do you mean, you ridiculous thing? |
| 15720 | What do you mean? 15720 What does she say?" |
| 15720 | What has she got in her? 15720 What is that?" |
| 15720 | What is that? |
| 15720 | What is the matter with her? 15720 What is the matter with you, Heavy?" |
| 15720 | What is the matter with you? |
| 15720 | What is the matter, Wonota? |
| 15720 | What is the matter? |
| 15720 | What makes her travel around in such a foolish way, then? |
| 15720 | What men? |
| 15720 | What sort o''tomfoolishness is this? |
| 15720 | What''s the matter with that crazy feller? |
| 15720 | What''s the matter with you, Wonota? |
| 15720 | What''s the prospect? |
| 15720 | What''s this? |
| 15720 | What? |
| 15720 | What_ are_ they trying to do? 15720 When do you think I am going to be a man?" |
| 15720 | Who are you worrying about? 15720 Who do you suppose he is?" |
| 15720 | Who wants to shake it? |
| 15720 | Who was it ran over me? 15720 Who''s that?" |
| 15720 | Who''s that? |
| 15720 | Whom do you mean-- William or one of the mules? |
| 15720 | Why do n''t you offer Dakota Joe a job in your picture company, too? |
| 15720 | Why does n''t she shoot him? |
| 15720 | Why not? 15720 Why not?" |
| 15720 | Why not? |
| 15720 | Why not? |
| 15720 | Why should people be punished for their ignorance? |
| 15720 | With a movie company? 15720 Wo n''t Wonota be surprised?" |
| 15720 | You remember when they dressed Wonota up in that evening frock there in New York? 15720 You think not, lady?" |
| 15720 | You trying to queer the show? 15720 You want to be a lady Santa Claus to that bunch of roughnecks at Benbow Camp, do you?" |
| 15720 | You''re Ruth Fielding, ai n''t you? |
| 15720 | _ Now_ who is guilty of the most atrocious slang? 15720 Ai n''t that so, Miss Fielding? |
| 15720 | Ai n''t that so?" |
| 15720 | Ai n''t you?" |
| 15720 | Although the Osage chieftain was an American( who could claim such proud estate if Totantora could not? |
| 15720 | Altogether, I mean?" |
| 15720 | Am I different from the remainder of humanity?" |
| 15720 | And did you read what the papers said about the times in New York? |
| 15720 | And what would Mr. Hammond have said? |
| 15720 | And you agree, Ruthie?" |
| 15720 | And, of course, we are in a hurry?" |
| 15720 | But afterward, Wonota, ca n''t we see you again?" |
| 15720 | CHAPTER III IN THE RING"What do you know about that Indian girl?" |
| 15720 | Ca n''t we let her stand as the camera has it?" |
| 15720 | Call it injunction, eh?" |
| 15720 | Can it be arranged?" |
| 15720 | Can she put over feeling? |
| 15720 | Can you beat it?" |
| 15720 | Coming in, Helen Cameron?" |
| 15720 | Did n''t I show you my bruises? |
| 15720 | Did you pay me for your ortymobile, young ladies?" |
| 15720 | Did you see what she come near doin''to me right out there in the ring?" |
| 15720 | Did you see?" |
| 15720 | Do n''t you, Nell?" |
| 15720 | Fenbrook?" |
| 15720 | Fenbrook?" |
| 15720 | Fenbrook?" |
| 15720 | Get me?" |
| 15720 | Girls, do you suppose that fellow with the shaggy ears did it on purpose?" |
| 15720 | Hammond?" |
| 15720 | Have n''t found anybody else you like better than your old chum, have you?" |
| 15720 | He deliberately ran me down?" |
| 15720 | He drawled:"Gal ai n''t hurt none, is she? |
| 15720 | He will not trouble us, then?" |
| 15720 | Helen remarked to Jennie,"Ruth does make the nicest friends, does n''t she? |
| 15720 | Her feller?" |
| 15720 | Hooley?" |
| 15720 | How about ruining a perfectly good girl named Ruth Fielding?" |
| 15720 | How long is this going to last?" |
| 15720 | I s''pose you''d want to learn to run the dratted thing, Alvirah Boggs?" |
| 15720 | I wonder if she''s heard from him since the armistice?" |
| 15720 | I wonder what our Wonota will develop if she becomes a star?" |
| 15720 | I would shoot him?" |
| 15720 | If the redman can punish an enemy why can not a white man?" |
| 15720 | Is it all right with you? |
| 15720 | Is it fire?" |
| 15720 | Is n''t it superb?" |
| 15720 | Is n''t that so, Nell? |
| 15720 | It was Jennie who put into words the thought that had come both to Ruth and Helen as well:"Where is that awful Dakota Joe? |
| 15720 | It was Mercy, when they arrived at Helen''s car, who put the first question to the Indian maid:"Why did n''t you shoot that man? |
| 15720 | It was like an exodus, for some of them were two days and nights on the way""The Osage Indians are not behind the times, then?" |
| 15720 | Or a Wild West Show?" |
| 15720 | Otherwise it would be no novelty, would it? |
| 15720 | Ready?" |
| 15720 | Ride around all night in this taxi?" |
| 15720 | Right- o?" |
| 15720 | See that billboard, girls?" |
| 15720 | Suppose members of the company should see her? |
| 15720 | Take all you can----""And give nothing?" |
| 15720 | Then to the driver Ruth observed:"Is n''t there a side entrance to this hotel?" |
| 15720 | They went in an emigrant train?" |
| 15720 | Those that knocked the chocks out from under that heap of logs? |
| 15720 | To take the ballroom picture, I mean?" |
| 15720 | Understand? |
| 15720 | Was there anything in what she had seen to- day to suggest a novel scheme for a moving picture? |
| 15720 | Well, did n''t you see she aimed straight at me? |
| 15720 | What do you hear from your New York dressmaker about Wonota''s new outfit, Jennie?" |
| 15720 | What do you know about it?" |
| 15720 | What does she want me for?" |
| 15720 | What has that to do with you being pitched over that fence, for instance?" |
| 15720 | What say?" |
| 15720 | What will people say-- or think?" |
| 15720 | What you doin''?" |
| 15720 | Who other than he should deal out punishment?" |
| 15720 | Who should know it better?" |
| 15720 | Who were those men, Miss Fielding?" |
| 15720 | Who''s that? |
| 15720 | Why not? |
| 15720 | Why stir up his passions to a greater degree, then?" |
| 15720 | Will you? |
| 15720 | William?" |
| 15720 | You come from Wonota, do n''t you?" |
| 15720 | You do n''t suppose that avalanche of timber started all by itself?" |
| 15720 | You do not like him?" |
| 15720 | You savvy my idee, Miss? |
| 15720 | You see? |
| 15720 | You tell her she''s mighty well off here, all things considered-- will you? |
| 15720 | You understand?" |
| 15720 | You with one foot in the grave and the other on the gas, eh?" |
| 15720 | asked the girl of the Red Mill"You want me?" |
| 15720 | cried Ruth, sitting up in surprise,"do you mean to say that Dakota Joe Fenbrook was driving that car?" |
| 15720 | cried Wonota with sparkling eyes,"do you think I could act for the movies? |
| 15720 | exclaimed Mercy Curtis, bitterly,"why did n''t she shoot him instead of the ball? |
| 15720 | gasped the girl of the Red Mill, in disgust,"is_ that_ what we are to be charitable for? |
| 15720 | grumbled Uncle Jabez,"what next? |
| 15720 | has that thing broken loose from the show?" |
| 15720 | he drawled,"did n''t I hear something about you taking this Injun gal away from Dakota Joe''s show? |
| 15720 | he would not have hung about the hotel all night, would he?" |
| 15720 | how you going to stop those mules?" |
| 15720 | she begged,"Suppose you suffered that deformity?" |
| 15720 | so it''s you, is it?" |
| 15720 | we do n''t have to do this right out here in public, do we, Miss Fielding?" |
| 15720 | what are you going to do?" |
| 15720 | what will she do?" |
| 15720 | where''s that Wonota gone to?" |
| 15720 | why so serious? |
| 29203 | A letter for me? |
| 29203 | A message for me? |
| 29203 | An objection from her would have stopped the feast before it began-- is it not, Miss Cameron? |
| 29203 | And are they all as little as that Miss Picolet? |
| 29203 | And fat villains are not so common; are they? |
| 29203 | And is n''t old Dusty Miller good to me, too? 29203 And was n''t it lucky Tom and Ruth were so near you?" |
| 29203 | And we''ve only just arrived ourselves? |
| 29203 | And what do these older girls really care about us? 29203 And where is Miss Cameron?" |
| 29203 | And you are Ruth Fielding? 29203 And you are a member of this new organization-- What do you call it? |
| 29203 | And you told this to your school- fellows after you became acquainted here? |
| 29203 | Are you ready, Helen? |
| 29203 | Are you sure she did all that out of simple kindness, Helen? |
| 29203 | Are you sure that the meeting is_ quite_ unexpected by both parties? |
| 29203 | As she wanted to? |
| 29203 | Boxes from home? |
| 29203 | But I suppose we''ll have to meet him in the office? 29203 But before that-- you had seen her?" |
| 29203 | But the other clubs? |
| 29203 | But there is a letter to be recovered? |
| 29203 | But what''s the story about the marble harp? |
| 29203 | But where''s Ruth? |
| 29203 | But why any demerit at all, if she was a spy for Miss Picolet? |
| 29203 | But you do not know how Miss Cameron will receive the suggestion of having a third girl in your small room? |
| 29203 | Ca n''t go with her? |
| 29203 | Come where? |
| 29203 | Did Helen first plan to have the supper in your quartette? |
| 29203 | Did I hear what? |
| 29203 | Did she drink of the water there? |
| 29203 | Did the Neophyte go to the fountain? |
| 29203 | Did you hear it? |
| 29203 | Did you rope any Infants, Mary? |
| 29203 | Did you see her speaking with anybody? |
| 29203 | Do n''t you hope we''ll dream something very nice? |
| 29203 | Do n''t you trust me any more, Helen? |
| 29203 | Do you mean the tall, light- haired boy? |
| 29203 | Do you suppose I can ever learn that, Tom? |
| 29203 | For pity''s sake, what for? |
| 29203 | From the Preceptress, Ruth? |
| 29203 | Go where? |
| 29203 | Going to get in here, Cameron? |
| 29203 | Got any Infants, Dolliver? |
| 29203 | Had n''t you better come, too, Tom? |
| 29203 | Have you joined them? |
| 29203 | How could that marble harp make any sound? |
| 29203 | How many do we number here-- twenty- six? |
| 29203 | How many teachers are there? |
| 29203 | How often are they going to send you boxes from home? |
| 29203 | How_ dare_ you yawn before''taps''? |
| 29203 | I believe that is customary? |
| 29203 | I do n''t like this way of doing business at all, Helen-- do you? |
| 29203 | I heard you tell Jennie Stone last night that you had to drive street musicians away from the school grounds, sir? |
| 29203 | I may venture to introduce myself-- is it not? |
| 29203 | I s''pose ye_ be_ goin''ter Briarwood, gals? |
| 29203 | I suppose I''m to be given no opportunity of answering Miss Picolet''s report, or accusation? |
| 29203 | I suppose Tom and some of his chums could_ happen_ to go to Triton Lake the same day we went; could n''t they? |
| 29203 | I suppose they_ mean_ something, though? |
| 29203 | I understand, then, that you are_ not_ pledged? |
| 29203 | I will not ask you under what circumstances you heard it; but I_ do_ ask if you have any knowledge of any fact that might explain the mystery? |
| 29203 | If the cat should suddenly come back, would n''t we just_ catch_ it? |
| 29203 | If the surgeons have enabled her to walk again, and dispense with the wheel chair, why could n''t she come to Briarwood? |
| 29203 | Is n''t he funny? |
| 29203 | Is n''t it just scrumptious? |
| 29203 | Is n''t it mean of her? |
| 29203 | Is n''t she a cunning little thing? |
| 29203 | Is n''t she here to''boss''? 29203 Is n''t she nice, Ruth?" |
| 29203 | Is n''t she nice? |
| 29203 | Is n''t that mysterious? 29203 Is n''t that nice of her, Helen?" |
| 29203 | Is n''t that somebody over yonder-- by the fountain? |
| 29203 | Is n''t that the big man with the red waistcoat that frightened that little woman on the_ Lanawaxa_? 29203 Is n''t the fountain haunted? |
| 29203 | Is that the other one coming--''way back on the road there? |
| 29203 | Is that what they call Miss Cox? |
| 29203 | Is this it? |
| 29203 | Is what so? |
| 29203 | Madge Steele''s brother? |
| 29203 | May I tell you that my chum Ruth had nothing to do with this infringement of the school rules? 29203 May the unfortunate vagabond musician speak a single word into Mademoiselle''s ear?" |
| 29203 | Miss Cox? |
| 29203 | Miss Picolet was alone aboard the boat? |
| 29203 | Nice of him to call us''Sweetbriars''; is n''t it? 29203 Now, what do you suppose he meant by that?" |
| 29203 | Of course, you are the two girls whom we ex-- that is, who were expected to- day? |
| 29203 | Oh, you did n''t expect to see so much flesh on my bones; did you? |
| 29203 | On the boat on that other so- beeg lake-- Osago, is it? |
| 29203 | Our quartette? 29203 Pledged, are they?" |
| 29203 | Rivalry over what? |
| 29203 | See him watch her, Ruth? |
| 29203 | She''s just a lady in miniature; is n''t she? 29203 She''s not with you?" |
| 29203 | She''s swallowed enough water to keep her still for a while-- what? 29203 So that we would feel just as_ you_ do-- that we ought if possible to attend the meeting of her society?" |
| 29203 | So the little Mademoiselle betrayed me; did she? |
| 29203 | Suppose some of us should play the spy on_ you_, Miss Picolet, and should run to Mrs. Tellingham with what we might discover? |
| 29203 | Suppose we are greeted in any such way at Briarwood? |
| 29203 | The Mademoiselle is from the school-- the institute where learning is taught the lo- fe- ly Misses? |
| 29203 | Then you are sure you have not been one who has circulated stories among the girls about Miss Picolet-- derogatory to her, I mean? |
| 29203 | Then, do you want to be under the noses of the teachers, and toadying to them all the time? |
| 29203 | Then, knowing her, will the Mademoiselle take a small note from the poor musician to the good Picolet? 29203 They told you they were coming to haze us?" |
| 29203 | This is a whole lot better than the way poor Tom was received at his school; is n''t it? |
| 29203 | WHAT? |
| 29203 | Wanted? |
| 29203 | Was there a man with a harp among them? |
| 29203 | We want to get in with a lively set; do n''t we? 29203 We will let nobody, or nothing, come between us?" |
| 29203 | We''re at Briarwood Hall, and why_ not_ Sweetbriars? |
| 29203 | Well, Mademoiselle? |
| 29203 | Well, what do you know about_ that_? |
| 29203 | Well-- but what does it matter? |
| 29203 | Well? |
| 29203 | Well? |
| 29203 | What are the Upedes and the F. C.''s rivals about? |
| 29203 | What are the objects of the rival clubs? |
| 29203 | What are you talking about, Helen? |
| 29203 | What clubs are there? |
| 29203 | What do the letters really stand for? |
| 29203 | What do you hear from her, Doctor? |
| 29203 | What do you mean, Ruth Fielding? |
| 29203 | What do you mean? |
| 29203 | What do you mean? |
| 29203 | What do you mean? |
| 29203 | What do you want? |
| 29203 | What had that to do wid it? |
| 29203 | What is it, Miss Fielding? |
| 29203 | What is it? |
| 29203 | What is the figure supposed to represent, Miss Steele? |
| 29203 | What will the Upedes say? |
| 29203 | What will you think? 29203 What''s the matter with the great booby?" |
| 29203 | What''s the matter, Infants? |
| 29203 | What''s the matter, now? |
| 29203 | What-- what is the matter? |
| 29203 | What_ do_ you mean? |
| 29203 | Where did you leave the Golden Goblet? |
| 29203 | Where''s yer baggage? |
| 29203 | Where? |
| 29203 | Which of you is Miss Fielding, and which is Miss Cameron? |
| 29203 | Who by? |
| 29203 | Who is Bobbins? |
| 29203 | Why not, pray? |
| 29203 | Why, Helen, does n''t it seem to you that Mary Cox came out deliberately to meet us, and for the purpose of making us feel under obligation to her? |
| 29203 | Why, do n''t you see? |
| 29203 | Why, how''s that? |
| 29203 | Why, we want Ruth with us; do n''t we? |
| 29203 | Why, what could just a handful of new girls do in a society? 29203 Yet, whoever heard of a_ fat_ brigand? |
| 29203 | You are Mr. Macy Cameron''s daughter? |
| 29203 | You are going to Briarwood Hall, then, my young ladies? |
| 29203 | You do n''t forgive me? |
| 29203 | You hear? |
| 29203 | You heard the harp? |
| 29203 | You mean the harp held by that figure at the fountain? |
| 29203 | You take care of my sister, too; will you, Bob? |
| 29203 | You want me to do this without telling anybody about it? |
| 29203 | You will both enter into advanced classes, I hope? |
| 29203 | You will take it? |
| 29203 | You_ have_ lost something? |
| 29203 | ''Tis a small matter-- no?" |
| 29203 | ''s''--not bad that, eh? |
| 29203 | ''s,''is it?" |
| 29203 | All there, be ye? |
| 29203 | And why was_ that_? |
| 29203 | Are n''t you afraid of meeting Mrs. Tellingham? |
| 29203 | Are these the two?" |
| 29203 | Asked old Bobbins if he had the croup?" |
| 29203 | At least, if the whole of us thirty Infants, as they call us, flocked together by ourselves, why would n''t we have plenty of society? |
| 29203 | At the door? |
| 29203 | But Helen smiled frankly on Ruth as her chum approached, and slipped an arm within her own:"What have you got there, Ruthie?" |
| 29203 | But are you sure it is my uncle who is sending Mercy Curtis?" |
| 29203 | But then she recovered her self- possession and asked, unshakenly:"What do you want of me?" |
| 29203 | But they said they were just going to have some fun with you----""_ Who_ said?" |
| 29203 | By the way, where_ is_ Ruthie?" |
| 29203 | C.''s?" |
| 29203 | CHAPTER IX THE GHOSTLY TRIBUNAL"Are n''t they just fine? |
| 29203 | CHAPTER XXIV"WHO IS THE TATTLE- TALE?" |
| 29203 | Could it be possible that her chum had had warning of this midnight visitation? |
| 29203 | Could this be Doctor Tellingham, the great historian? |
| 29203 | Did you hear the sound?" |
| 29203 | Do you all belong?" |
| 29203 | Do you know what your Uncle Jabez-- Dusty Miller-- has done? |
| 29203 | Do you remember?" |
| 29203 | Do you see them?" |
| 29203 | Do you suppose I have been asleep?" |
| 29203 | Do you think you have been as good friends as you were when you came to Briarwood, Ruth?" |
| 29203 | Do you understand, Neophyte? |
| 29203 | For a minute or two Helen was as silent as Miss Picolet; then she ventured in a very small voice:"Miss Picolet-- if you please?" |
| 29203 | Foyle?" |
| 29203 | Had he followed her to Briarwood Hall? |
| 29203 | Had this coarse fellow, with his pudgy hands, his corpulency, his drooping black mustache, some hold upon Miss Picolet? |
| 29203 | Have you lost something-- something that might have been entrusted to you for another person? |
| 29203 | He did not smile at the girl as he said:"You ai n''t looking for them yet; air you, Ruth? |
| 29203 | Helen cast a look of pleading at her chum; but what could Ruth do? |
| 29203 | Helen leaned toward Ruth and whispered:"I know I shall just love her, Ruth-- don''t you?" |
| 29203 | How''s your poor croup?" |
| 29203 | How_ dared_ you come to Briarwood Hall, Infants?" |
| 29203 | Hurt as she was, why should she give The Fox the satisfaction of_ knowing_ she felt the slight? |
| 29203 | I guess there''s a good many thorns on_ this_''sweetbriar'';''eh, Ruthie?" |
| 29203 | I have to chase ev''ry rag tag and bobtail on the place, so I do----""Not tramps again, Tony?" |
| 29203 | I wo n''t have it in here if you do n''t want----""Why not?" |
| 29203 | I, for one, want to get into the real school society----""But suppose we start a club of our own?" |
| 29203 | If Miss Reynolds will allow me?" |
| 29203 | In the course of her remarks she said:"This is your first experience, I understand, away from home and in a school of this character? |
| 29203 | Indeed, how could they be homesick? |
| 29203 | Is n''t his sister with you-- Madge Steele?" |
| 29203 | Is n''t it just fun?" |
| 29203 | Is n''t that him at the harp?" |
| 29203 | It was a faint scratching-- at the door, or at the window? |
| 29203 | Let them prove their courage then-- what say the Sisters?" |
| 29203 | Listen to Heavy, will you?" |
| 29203 | Mary Cox came out first and as she passed Ruth she tossed her head and said:"Well, are you here to tattle about somebody else?" |
| 29203 | Murchiston?" |
| 29203 | Now, the question is, do we want to be bossed by a girl like her?" |
| 29203 | Of course, nobody''s met''em?" |
| 29203 | Or can we walk out with our''brother''?" |
| 29203 | Ruth flashed back into the room and cried to the youth on the porch:"Is the car really in sight, Ben?" |
| 29203 | Ruth told her their names and asked in return:"Are you on our corridor, too? |
| 29203 | Sarah came out bluntly with:"When are we going to form our club, Ruth Fielding? |
| 29203 | Shall I take my-- er-- my remaining young man away with me?" |
| 29203 | She says she has an old nurse named Babette who makes the most de- lic- i- ous almond cakes-- Is that so, Ruth Fielding?" |
| 29203 | So I got two more gals fer Briarwood; hev I?" |
| 29203 | Some letter, for instance?" |
| 29203 | Tell me, who is he?" |
| 29203 | Tellingham?" |
| 29203 | Tellingham?" |
| 29203 | That she had nothing to do with the planning of the frolic?" |
| 29203 | That the feast was all mine; that she merely partook of it because we roomed together? |
| 29203 | That would take the romance all out of the profession; would n''t it?" |
| 29203 | The first Infant has left the Golden Goblet at the fountain-- you_ did_ leave it there; did n''t you, you''fraid- cat?" |
| 29203 | The new cadet at Seven Oaks began his letter:"Dead[ Transcriber''s note: Dear?] |
| 29203 | The other Infants took it up----""But you named it?" |
| 29203 | The pleasures of the table must be paid for---- How do you feel now, Heavy?" |
| 29203 | The thought flashed into Ruth''s mind:"Did Helen have reason for expecting this visit, and not warn_ me_?" |
| 29203 | The twanging of the marble harp has been heard down through the school ages, so it is said-- particularly at queer times----""Queer times?" |
| 29203 | To- night-- have you been invited to any gathering?" |
| 29203 | WHO IS THE"TATTLE- TALE?" |
| 29203 | Was he an enemy who plagued the little French teacher-- perhaps blackmailed her? |
| 29203 | Was that a whisper-- a sharp, muffled gasp? |
| 29203 | Was there a rustle and a soft whisper behind the panels? |
| 29203 | What can I say?" |
| 29203 | What did you say to him?" |
| 29203 | What do_ you_ say, Ruth Fielding? |
| 29203 | What say, Helen?" |
| 29203 | What say?" |
| 29203 | What shall we do?" |
| 29203 | Where was that sound? |
| 29203 | Why did she not join this new society that you have started?" |
| 29203 | Why should she relapse into tears because her chum had done a cruel thing? |
| 29203 | Wo n''t it be just scrumptious to see old Tom again?" |
| 29203 | Yes? |
| 29203 | You do not?" |
| 29203 | You have been put on your honor not to tell?" |
| 29203 | You have found your room?" |
| 29203 | You know her, of course?" |
| 29203 | You know, if we_ should_ get into trouble----""Do you think that_ I_ would complain?" |
| 29203 | You know, you pointed them out to me on the dock at Portageton, Helen? |
| 29203 | You''ll see her right after supper?" |
| 29203 | chuckled that damsel,"are n''t those Fussy Curls jealous? |
| 29203 | do n''t his sister rig him, though? |
| 29203 | exclaimed Lluella Fairfax,"is n''t that lay- out enough to punish our poor digestive organs for a month? |
| 29203 | exclaimed Madge Steele, a little stiffly,"you are already pledged, then?" |
| 29203 | exclaimed Tom to Ruth, as they began to get into good stroke-- for the girl was an apt pupil--"who is that old Bobbins has got under his wing?" |
| 29203 | is it not so?" |
| 29203 | it sounds just as though poor old Tom was in the army; does n''t it?" |
| 29203 | it''s the old story of the hen and the egg-- which was here first? |
| 29203 | she''s quite a heroine; is n''t she? |
| 29203 | this will perhaps relieve the good Picolet of my presence-- who knows?" |
| 29203 | was it truly the harp that sounded?" |
| 29203 | what do you mean?" |
| 29203 | what''s the matter?" |
| 29203 | wo n''t we just have good times here?" |
| 29203 | would you dare?" |
| 29203 | you did n''t expect to do just as_ you_ pleased here at Briarwood; did you?" |
| 29203 | you know_ that_, my pretty bird?" |
| 29203 | you''re going to the Upede meeting to- night; are n''t you?" |
| 6851 | ''Oh, Aunty Sally,''cries one of the bigger boys,''What shall we do? 6851 A snowstorm, Jerry?" |
| 6851 | All this walk on these clumsy old snowshoes for nothing? |
| 6851 | And I''d like to know what? |
| 6851 | And father? |
| 6851 | And he''s in my bed; is he? |
| 6851 | And she got here first-- wasn''t that cute of her? |
| 6851 | And what about the panther? 6851 And what became of that horrid boy Mr. Cameron tried to take to Scarboro?" |
| 6851 | And who is he? 6851 And why should n''t they laugh? |
| 6851 | And you''ve let''em think all this time that you were shot-- and poor''Lias in jail? 6851 Are n''t any of your men- folks there?" |
| 6851 | Are n''t the girls out with you, Tom? |
| 6851 | Are you all right? |
| 6851 | Are you sure? |
| 6851 | Back where? |
| 6851 | But do n''t you know? 6851 But had n''t we better try to find the girls at once, Jerry?" |
| 6851 | But was n''t she a brave girl? |
| 6851 | But where shall we march to? |
| 6851 | But wo n''t that cut us out of their good times? |
| 6851 | But, in the meantime? 6851 Ca n''t he dive down into the water through the hole in the tree and so come up outside?" |
| 6851 | Ca n''t we go in the sleighs we came over in from Scarboro? |
| 6851 | Could they have returned to the house by some other path? |
| 6851 | Did he run away from home? |
| 6851 | Did she shoot that panther? |
| 6851 | Do n''t you suppose that candy''s cool? 6851 Do n''t you, Ruth?" |
| 6851 | Do you call it a joke on us-- spoiling our taffy and stealing the nutmeats? |
| 6851 | Do you think we''ll ever get to the bottom of his trouble? |
| 6851 | Do you think you can stand it? |
| 6851 | Do you think your folks are trying to find you? |
| 6851 | Does n''t she need you? |
| 6851 | Falling right on that awful bear? |
| 6851 | Found''em all right; did n''t you? |
| 6851 | Got a mother? |
| 6851 | Have the girls got back? |
| 6851 | Have you got your things packed? |
| 6851 | Have you seen the girls, Jerry? |
| 6851 | He''s left you? |
| 6851 | How are you, Heavy? |
| 6851 | How could he be so mean? |
| 6851 | How deep are you down, Jennie? |
| 6851 | How did you get here? 6851 How do we know we''re going right?" |
| 6851 | How do you know how fast he''s traveling? |
| 6851 | How do you know it wo n''t, until we''ve tried it? |
| 6851 | How do you mean? |
| 6851 | How does it look? |
| 6851 | How''s he going to do it? |
| 6851 | How''s that? |
| 6851 | How? |
| 6851 | However could you scare us so, Ruthie? |
| 6851 | Hullo I what''s all this? |
| 6851 | I thought Tom could keep out of the river when the ice was four inches thick-- eh, son? |
| 6851 | I thought you said there was n''t any around here, Jerry? |
| 6851 | I wonder if the girls have come back? |
| 6851 | I''d like to know how we''ll get the best of them? |
| 6851 | I''d shake her, if she was my sister-- wouldn''t you, Tom? |
| 6851 | I''m some long; ai n''t I, Miss? |
| 6851 | If the place will afford us any shelter from this awful wind, why not? |
| 6851 | If they want to flock by themselves, who cares? |
| 6851 | If you are so anxious, why do n''t you run and bring a pan in? 6851 Is he badly hurt? |
| 6851 | Is it snowing very hard, Tom? |
| 6851 | Is it snowing? |
| 6851 | Is it you? 6851 Is it you? |
| 6851 | Is n''t it delightful? |
| 6851 | Is n''t it just grand? |
| 6851 | Is n''t that funny, Father? |
| 6851 | Is them the letters? |
| 6851 | Is there any house in that direction-- within reasonable distance, Jerry? |
| 6851 | It is Long Jerry Todd and the men-- hear the harness rattling? |
| 6851 | Madge is going to be a regular suffragette; is n''t she? |
| 6851 | Miss Sally, she knew that, all right, and when the boy says:''What shall we do?'' 6851 Mr. Cameron''s camp?" |
| 6851 | Now what could have happened to them? 6851 Of course, we shall get out of it all right, Helen; but_ did_ you ever suppose so much snow could fall at one time?" |
| 6851 | Oh, can I do it, do you suppose? |
| 6851 | Oh, the boy calling himself Fred Hatfield? |
| 6851 | Oh, where are we going? 6851 Ruth Fielding? |
| 6851 | She''s too big to shake-- isn''t she, Bobbins? |
| 6851 | So you want to go over to Mr. Parrish''s Snow Camp? |
| 6851 | So your name is Jonas Hatfield, of Scarboro; is it? |
| 6851 | Suppose that beast should be hiding near? |
| 6851 | That cat- o''-mountain chase ye, boy? |
| 6851 | That poor fellow may have lost himself in the blizzard, too, eh? |
| 6851 | That was a bit of information you were keeping to yourself-- eh? 6851 Then whatever should we do?" |
| 6851 | There''s nobody paying us for this; is there? 6851 This is a regular Amazon March; is n''t it?" |
| 6851 | To the north, Tom? |
| 6851 | To-- to Scarboro? |
| 6851 | Tom been in the river? 6851 Want me to get up? |
| 6851 | Want to see my children, Young Miss? |
| 6851 | We''re not at Scarboro yet, surely? |
| 6851 | Well, do n''t they? |
| 6851 | Well? |
| 6851 | What boy? |
| 6851 | What did you do? |
| 6851 | What did you interfere for, anyway? |
| 6851 | What do you let her nag you for that way, Bob? |
| 6851 | What do you mean, sir? |
| 6851 | What do you say about this? |
| 6851 | What do you suppose is on his mind? |
| 6851 | What do you suppose will become of us, Ruthie? |
| 6851 | What do you think about it yourself, sir? |
| 6851 | What does it do to girls? |
| 6851 | What does it matter? 6851 What else was it? |
| 6851 | What for? |
| 6851 | What for? |
| 6851 | What for? |
| 6851 | What good is that? |
| 6851 | What has happened? |
| 6851 | What have those horrid boys done? |
| 6851 | What is a coincidence? |
| 6851 | What is that? 6851 What is the matter?" |
| 6851 | What made you so afraid of being seen by anyone? |
| 6851 | What makes you look so? |
| 6851 | What now? |
| 6851 | What possible good could they have been to you, silly? |
| 6851 | What will Mr. Cameron say? |
| 6851 | What will we do now? |
| 6851 | What would a ghost want any help for? 6851 What''s a b''ar? |
| 6851 | What''s he done? |
| 6851 | What''s the hurry? |
| 6851 | What''s the matter with you, Heavy? |
| 6851 | What''s the matter, my son? |
| 6851 | What''s the matter? |
| 6851 | What''s this I hear about a vagabond boy in my bed, Aunt Alviry? |
| 6851 | What''s your name? |
| 6851 | What_ did_ you do? |
| 6851 | Where are Jerry and the others? |
| 6851 | Where are you fellows? 6851 Where can we get fuel? |
| 6851 | Where under the sun could those boys have gone? |
| 6851 | Where''s Helen-- and Ruth-- and the rest of them? |
| 6851 | Where''s that boy? |
| 6851 | Where''s the telephone? 6851 Where''s who?" |
| 6851 | Which way, girls? |
| 6851 | Who are you? 6851 Who did that?" |
| 6851 | Who is he, Aunt Alviry? |
| 6851 | Who is he? |
| 6851 | Who is it? |
| 6851 | Who wants''em, anyway? |
| 6851 | Who was shooting here? 6851 Who''ll go, then?" |
| 6851 | Why did n''t you pick her then? |
| 6851 | Why do n''t he crawl out? 6851 Why do n''t you take a nap, Helen? |
| 6851 | Why do you think he''s crazy? |
| 6851 | Why not? 6851 Why not?" |
| 6851 | Why not? |
| 6851 | Why were you so greedy? |
| 6851 | Why, how can we tell? 6851 Why, how did you get here in this storm?" |
| 6851 | Wo n''t they have the laugh on us? |
| 6851 | Would n''t it be best to just cut them right out of our good times? |
| 6851 | You are a dreadfully foolish boy--"What do you know about me? |
| 6851 | You do n''t mean that any of them gals is out of bounds? |
| 6851 | You mean that to try to seek for the girls now is impossible, Jerry? |
| 6851 | You never see a big snow up in these woods; did ye? |
| 6851 | You think that man-- that Cameron man-- will take me back? |
| 6851 | Your boss lose one of his party off the train, Long Jerry Todd? |
| 6851 | Your father is dead? |
| 6851 | _ Could_ I shoot straight enough to do any good, if I tried? 6851 _ You_ know me; do n''t you?" |
| 6851 | A house?" |
| 6851 | A sleigh ride?" |
| 6851 | A wallet?" |
| 6851 | Ai n''t that so, Ben?" |
| 6851 | And Long Jerry Todd?" |
| 6851 | And if he_ is_ dead, who is the boy who is traveling about the country using Fred Hatfield''s name and carrying Mr. Hatfield''s old wallet? |
| 6851 | And suppose that bull comes back?" |
| 6851 | And with Sim''s mules?" |
| 6851 | Are you there, Sim? |
| 6851 | At the other end of the wire an excited female voice demanded:"Is this Snow Camp?" |
| 6851 | Busy Izzy was at his ear in a moment:"What''s the matter with him? |
| 6851 | But in the midst of his appreciation of the meal he asked Ruth, suddenly:"Was n''t there anything in that wallet when you gave it to that man, Miss?" |
| 6851 | But where? |
| 6851 | Ca n''t we take it easy this evening?" |
| 6851 | Come along; will you?" |
| 6851 | Did n''t your uncle tell him to wait for Mr. Cameron here?" |
| 6851 | Did you ever know a girl to have anything in her pocket that was worth carrying-- if she chanced by good luck to have a pocket at all? |
| 6851 | Do n''t we want his pelt?" |
| 6851 | Do n''t you Ruth?" |
| 6851 | Do n''t you see, he_ is_ drowned? |
| 6851 | Do you hear me?" |
| 6851 | Do you know where that is, sir?" |
| 6851 | Do you mean to say you are alive, Fred Hatfield? |
| 6851 | Do you suppose that the sight of you on your head in a snowbank with your legs waving in the wind was something to make them_ weep_? |
| 6851 | Go out into the open when the catamount might be within a couple of miles of the lodge? |
| 6851 | Had one of their friends fallen off either of the other toboggans, and been too hurt to rise? |
| 6851 | He demanded, in a hoarse, unnatural voice:"How''d''you find me out?" |
| 6851 | He only said, idly:"Fred Hatfield, eh? |
| 6851 | His questions dealt with her alone:"Where do you belong?" |
| 6851 | How are we going to warn them-- and the men in the woods?" |
| 6851 | How could they get this person out? |
| 6851 | How long will it take you girls to get ready?" |
| 6851 | I am dreadfully worried about the girls--""What''s that?" |
| 6851 | I have no suspicion regarding the lad----How is the patient, Aunt Alviry?" |
| 6851 | I never did care much for boys-- they are greedy; but which one of you could drag Madge and me, for instance, up that hill?" |
| 6851 | I''m going, too--""_ Going where_?" |
| 6851 | If that''s so, is n''t he just the meanest boy that ever was?" |
| 6851 | Is he trying to get aboard that freight? |
| 6851 | Is it loaded?" |
| 6851 | Is n''t his name Fred Hatfield?" |
| 6851 | Is n''t it cold?" |
| 6851 | Is this here the gal?" |
| 6851 | It wo n''t snow yet awhile, will it, Jerry?" |
| 6851 | Maybe the boys and Long Jerry are searching for us right now----""In this dreadful storm? |
| 6851 | Mr. Cameron seemed to understand their position when he came up the walk, and asked Ruth:"So, he wants to leave; does he?" |
| 6851 | Now, is n''t that a fact, Madge Steele?" |
| 6851 | Now, that little girl,"he added, pointing to Ruth,"_ she_ was n''t afraid of them; was you?" |
| 6851 | Or would I kill the poor dog?" |
| 6851 | Or, who_ are_ you? |
| 6851 | Says the boy belongs up there where he wants to take Ruth to- morrow?" |
| 6851 | She cried up the stairs to Aunt Alvirah:"Have you seen him, Auntie? |
| 6851 | She felt like Miss Ruthie did-- eh?" |
| 6851 | She missed me by half a fraction of an infinitessimal part of an inch--that''s a good word, that''infinitessimal''; ai n''t it, Miss? |
| 6851 | Should she call for Tom Cameron and his mates? |
| 6851 | Should she shout? |
| 6851 | Should she speak plainly to Fred himself about it? |
| 6851 | Should she tell Mr. Cameron about it? |
| 6851 | Snow Camp? |
| 6851 | Suddenly Helen exclaimed:"What''s that you''ve dropped out of his vest, Ruthie? |
| 6851 | The beast frightened us most to death--""Who was with you?" |
| 6851 | Then Bob turned deliberately to Helen and asked:"Will you go sliding, Helen?" |
| 6851 | Todd?" |
| 6851 | Todd?" |
| 6851 | Tom and his mates discussed some plan for a few minutes and then Tom sang out:"Who''ll go sliding? |
| 6851 | Want to hear about it?" |
| 6851 | Well, how''d you get here? |
| 6851 | Well, why did you carry your father''s old wallet about with you, if you did not wish to be identified? |
| 6851 | What are you afraid of? |
| 6851 | What boy is this?" |
| 6851 | What do you think of that?" |
| 6851 | What do you want of him?" |
| 6851 | What for?" |
| 6851 | What is he here for? |
| 6851 | What is the matter?" |
| 6851 | What next should they do? |
| 6851 | What will become of us?" |
| 6851 | What would Tom Cameron say if anything happened to his brave and beautiful Reno? |
| 6851 | What would happen to her, here in the deep woods, even when the mules stopped so that she dared leap down from the cart? |
| 6851 | What''ll father say when he comes back and finds the pigs killed?'' |
| 6851 | What''s happened to him?" |
| 6851 | What''s happened ye?" |
| 6851 | What''s he been doing? |
| 6851 | What''s that?" |
| 6851 | What''s wanted?" |
| 6851 | What''s_ this_ now?" |
| 6851 | Whatever would we do without Ruth?" |
| 6851 | Where does he come from?" |
| 6851 | Where have they gone?" |
| 6851 | Where is he?" |
| 6851 | Where is your father, Helen? |
| 6851 | Where''s the gun, Ruth?" |
| 6851 | Who is he? |
| 6851 | Who is he? |
| 6851 | Why do n''t he crawl out?" |
| 6851 | Why do n''t you want to live at home?" |
| 6851 | Would Mr. Cameron send back for her? |
| 6851 | Would she ever be able to fight her way back to that ledge? |
| 6851 | You his sister?" |
| 6851 | You''re a good little thing to wait for me-- and I guess Tom Cameron did n''t like it much, either? |
| 6851 | are n''t we going to have a chance to eat a single kernel?" |
| 6851 | did you ever see it snow harder in your life?" |
| 6851 | exclaimed Bob,"It ca n''t snow like this for long; can it?" |
| 6851 | exclaimed Lluella, interrupting,"What''s a little snow?" |
| 6851 | is n''t that more snow coming?" |
| 6851 | it''s never Tom?" |
| 6851 | suppose there should be a bear under here?" |
| 6851 | what for?" |
| 6851 | what harm is there in our knowing who you are?" |
| 6851 | what is this?" |
| 6851 | what''s a little snow?" |
| 6851 | what''s that?" |
| 6851 | what''s that?" |
| 6851 | what''s wanted? |
| 6851 | where are you?" |
| 6851 | who is he?" |
| 6851 | who''s shooting over there?" |
| 6851 | why were n''t_ all_ fathers born rich?" |
| 14635 | ''Fire,''says you? 14635 ''Why not?" |
| 14635 | A secret from_ me_? |
| 14635 | About what? |
| 14635 | About''Curiosity?'' |
| 14635 | All can give their mites, ca n''t they? |
| 14635 | All their money is invested in the school, is it not? |
| 14635 | And I suppose you seniors ought to do it? |
| 14635 | And be taken for an animated scarecrow on the way? |
| 14635 | And do n''t you know where to look for her? |
| 14635 | And how could you help it? |
| 14635 | And still be natural? |
| 14635 | And that_ dear_ boy who got me out of the river-- Where is he? |
| 14635 | And the cat- o''-nine- tails, too, eh? |
| 14635 | And what did meet us? |
| 14635 | And you''ve written a_ real_ moving picture? |
| 14635 | Are n''t boys funny? |
| 14635 | Are n''t you afraid of the effect of eating so much, Jennie? |
| 14635 | Are you Miss Fielding? |
| 14635 | Are you killed? |
| 14635 | Are you positive? |
| 14635 | Briarwood Hall? 14635 But can I go if I_ dare_ run away?" |
| 14635 | But how is it going to help the dormitory fund, then? |
| 14635 | But what is it? |
| 14635 | But what''s the idea, dear? |
| 14635 | But what_ is_ it? |
| 14635 | But where will we hunt? |
| 14635 | Ca n''t you see them, Helen? |
| 14635 | Can we go over there to sleep to- night? |
| 14635 | Can you beat her? |
| 14635 | Did I look good? |
| 14635 | Did she jump? |
| 14635 | Did you ever look at the whole row of them in the office bookcase? |
| 14635 | Did you ever write a scenario? |
| 14635 | Did you have to pay Foyle the fifty cents to pry you out, Heavy? |
| 14635 | Did you look good, Jennie? |
| 14635 | Did you wish to talk to me on any matter of importance? |
| 14635 | Do I look like that? |
| 14635 | Do n''t you think it, Curly? |
| 14635 | Do you mind if we go out and look around a little? 14635 Do you think that would be any real satisfaction to you? |
| 14635 | Do you want to come to town, or shall I come to Briarwood Hall? |
| 14635 | Do you want to get your death of cold? |
| 14635 | Does it interest us all enough for each girl to be willing to do something personally, or sacrifice something, toward the new building? |
| 14635 | Going fishing, Curly? |
| 14635 | Have a bite, Ruth? |
| 14635 | Have n''t I already promised to read your scenario? |
| 14635 | Have n''t you heard? 14635 Have n''t you the least idea where she''s gone?" |
| 14635 | How are we? |
| 14635 | How can I get in, Ruth? 14635 How could you?" |
| 14635 | How did Gran''know, then? |
| 14635 | How did you get into this cellar? |
| 14635 | How do you know whether this is old or young till I''ve told it? |
| 14635 | How is it,Tom asked his father one day,"that Helen is all grown up of a sudden? |
| 14635 | How long have you been here? |
| 14635 | How much does this mean? |
| 14635 | How will we get to her? |
| 14635 | How''ll we do it? |
| 14635 | How? 14635 Huh?" |
| 14635 | I hope you help her all you can when I''m not here, Ben? |
| 14635 | I presume it is_ posi- tive_ that there is nobody up there? 14635 If I played hooky would you let me go fishing with you to- morrow?" |
| 14635 | If all your fathers give to the dormitory fund, what will you girls personally give? |
| 14635 | In the river? 14635 Indeed?" |
| 14635 | Is everything going to be really burned up? |
| 14635 | Is it something that you would better talk to Mrs. Tellingham about? 14635 Is it the dormitory?" |
| 14635 | Is n''t that a sharp one? |
| 14635 | Is n''t that about the same? |
| 14635 | Is n''t that funny? |
| 14635 | Is there more than one? |
| 14635 | Is there nobody to help them rebuild? |
| 14635 | Is this the famous authoress of''Curiosity?'' |
| 14635 | Is your throat sore? |
| 14635 | It ca n''t be Tom, can it? |
| 14635 | Mine? |
| 14635 | Miss Brokaw became impatient with little Pease and said:''It seems you are never able to answer a question, Mary; why is it?'' |
| 14635 | More moving picture people? |
| 14635 | Not at_ all_? |
| 14635 | Not in the winter, I fancy? |
| 14635 | Of course you have n''t seen that boy, any of you? |
| 14635 | Of course you have something to suggest? |
| 14635 | Oh, it does, does it? |
| 14635 | On the bushes too? |
| 14635 | Or, who is chasing_ them_? |
| 14635 | Phativer is the matter? |
| 14635 | Rather you should ask,''What will they be?'' 14635 Say, Ruthie, how does your Uncle Jabez treat you, now that you are a bloated capitalist?" |
| 14635 | Sha''n''t do what? |
| 14635 | Shure now, phat''s the matter widyer? |
| 14635 | Smitten? |
| 14635 | So early-- and to see Miss Gray? |
| 14635 | So she''s a''fire- bug?'' 14635 Struck what?" |
| 14635 | That''s_ that_? |
| 14635 | The first money I ever earned with my pen? 14635 The old man repeated his question--''how mooch for the broad- faced bur- r- rd?'' |
| 14635 | The principal of your school? |
| 14635 | Then this Mr. Hammond is quite an important man? |
| 14635 | Then what do you mean about every girl at Briarwood helping in this way toward the fund? |
| 14635 | Then_ why_ ask Mrs. Tellingham to let her come here? |
| 14635 | There was a butcher who had a stuffed owl in his shop and an old Irishman came in and asked him:''How mooch for the broad- faced bur- r- rd?'' 14635 Think you''ve got any of that commodity?" |
| 14635 | This far up from the ground? 14635 Well, who says I''m not?" |
| 14635 | Well,_ you_ know it, do n''t you? |
| 14635 | Well-- doesn''t it? |
| 14635 | Wha-- what do you want? |
| 14635 | What about her? |
| 14635 | What are you doing there, Ruthie? |
| 14635 | What are you wild animals doing? |
| 14635 | What did I tell you? |
| 14635 | What do you know about that? |
| 14635 | What do you know about that? |
| 14635 | What do you mean? |
| 14635 | What do you mean? |
| 14635 | What do you suppose it can be? |
| 14635 | What do you wish? 14635 What does it mean? |
| 14635 | What for? |
| 14635 | What forever has happened, my pretty? |
| 14635 | What good are they? |
| 14635 | What have I missed? |
| 14635 | What have you done now? |
| 14635 | What is it, Doctor? |
| 14635 | What is it, Heavy? |
| 14635 | What is it, Jennie? |
| 14635 | What is it, Ruth? |
| 14635 | What is it? |
| 14635 | What is it? |
| 14635 | What is it? |
| 14635 | What is it? |
| 14635 | What is the matter, Mary Pease? |
| 14635 | What is the matter, Mister Tom? |
| 14635 | What is_ what_? |
| 14635 | What people? |
| 14635 | What time are you going to start? |
| 14635 | What was it? |
| 14635 | What will we do when we see it no longer, Helen? |
| 14635 | What will you girls get into your heads next? 14635 What''s got her_ now_?" |
| 14635 | What''s that? 14635 What''s that?" |
| 14635 | What''s that? |
| 14635 | What''s that? |
| 14635 | What''s the matter with her? |
| 14635 | What_ shall_ we do? |
| 14635 | Whatever is the matter with you? |
| 14635 | When is your aunt coming, Nettie? |
| 14635 | Where are they biting now? |
| 14635 | Where are your eyes? |
| 14635 | Where has she been? |
| 14635 | Where under the sun have you been-- and in that ragged old gym suit? |
| 14635 | Where''ll you find huckleberries this time of year? |
| 14635 | Where? 14635 Where? |
| 14635 | Where? |
| 14635 | Where? |
| 14635 | Where? |
| 14635 | Where? |
| 14635 | Where_ are_ these wonderful persons? 14635 Which dormitory?" |
| 14635 | Who better? 14635 Who ever_ reads_ them?" |
| 14635 | Who''s denying it? |
| 14635 | Who''s with her? |
| 14635 | Who? |
| 14635 | Whom do you suppose they are chasing? |
| 14635 | Whose old cat''s in the well? |
| 14635 | Why do n''t you run away from school if they make you work so hard? 14635 Why not? |
| 14635 | Why not? |
| 14635 | Why, Helen, how will she graduate? |
| 14635 | Will you really_ read_ it? |
| 14635 | With what for a text? |
| 14635 | Wo n''t our dormitory burn, too? |
| 14635 | Wo n''t the girls be surprised? 14635 Would Mr. Hammond take such a play if you wrote it?" |
| 14635 | Would n''t you, Ruth? |
| 14635 | You are n''t figgering on going home_ now_, are you? |
| 14635 | You chew it, do n''t you? |
| 14635 | You do n''t mean_ that_, Ruth Fielding? |
| 14635 | You do n''t suppose she''s gone clear over there by herself, do you? |
| 14635 | You do n''t suppose she_ has_ run away, Curly Smith? 14635 You do n''t suppose there are such things as ghosts, do you, girls?" |
| 14635 | You expect to show me how to make some money? 14635 You have mentioned Mr. Hammond before?" |
| 14635 | You have wire- cutters in your auto kit, have n''t you? |
| 14635 | You mean, a railroad tie, do n''t you? |
| 14635 | You think a great deal of him, I fancy? |
| 14635 | You''re not''afraid to go home in the dark,''are you, Curly? |
| 14635 | _ Now_ what are they about? |
| 14635 | _ That_ is n''t another owl, is it? |
| 14635 | _ What''s_ a promise, Ruth Fielding? |
| 14635 | _ Whom_ do you mean? |
| 14635 | ''But what d''ye want for it? |
| 14635 | ''What is longitude?'' |
| 14635 | A chaplain in the navy? |
| 14635 | A pleasant interchange of conversation broke out:"Did you hear what that funny little Pease girl said to Miss Brokaw in physiology class yesterday?" |
| 14635 | AUNT ALVIRAH AT BRIARWOOD HALL 201 RUTH FIELDING IN MOVING PICTURES CHAPTER I NOT IN THE SCENARIO"What in the world are those people up to?" |
| 14635 | After they were seated, Heavy Stone whispered to Ruth:"Is n''t that Gregg girl the most discontented looking thing you ever saw? |
| 14635 | All your English made up for you in that scenario----""And who is_ this_ made up, I''d be glad to have somebody tell me?" |
| 14635 | An actor?" |
| 14635 | And now what will that reckless boy do, with his grandmother waiting for him and every other window in the house locked?" |
| 14635 | And suppose it comes to Lumberton and we can all go and see it? |
| 14635 | And what boy, living in a house with four girls, could keep from trying to play tricks upon them? |
| 14635 | And who are you, may I ask?" |
| 14635 | Are he and his sister well? |
| 14635 | Are n''t you ever going to let us in?" |
| 14635 | Are you as good to every stranger who comes your way?" |
| 14635 | Are you hurt, Amy?" |
| 14635 | Are you sure?" |
| 14635 | Are you weighing the sun or counting the hairs of the sun- dogs?" |
| 14635 | Behave, will you?" |
| 14635 | But did Ruth look upon Tom Cameron in just that way? |
| 14635 | But why did she leave the business of renewing the insurance in his charge, in the first place?" |
| 14635 | But-- may I come in? |
| 14635 | CHAPTER VI WHAT IS AHEAD? |
| 14635 | CHAPTER XIII THE IDEA IS BORN"What? |
| 14635 | Can it be possible?" |
| 14635 | Can you walk?" |
| 14635 | Did n''t you see me trying to crawl through between the two rows of seats? |
| 14635 | Did you ever see the like? |
| 14635 | Did you ever?" |
| 14635 | Did-- did you wish to see Uncle Jabez?" |
| 14635 | Do n''t you understand, Helen, that my check would only be a drop in the bucket? |
| 14635 | Do you all see the same thing I do?" |
| 14635 | Do you know what happened only last half when he and Mrs. Tellingham were invited to the Lumberton Association Ball?" |
| 14635 | Do you know where he is?" |
| 14635 | Do you think we ought to have promised Nettie and her aunt that we would come?" |
| 14635 | Fancy our doing that?" |
| 14635 | Folks will want to see us Briarwood girls acting for the movies-- won''t they?" |
| 14635 | For, I suppose, you were on the spot?" |
| 14635 | For, of course, this_ is_ the Red Mill? |
| 14635 | Got your focus, Carroll?" |
| 14635 | Grimes?" |
| 14635 | Hammond?" |
| 14635 | Hammond?" |
| 14635 | He turned to Ruth when the door was shut, and asked seriously:"My dear, is Miss Gray where she can hear us talk?" |
| 14635 | I believe you attend this boarding school?" |
| 14635 | I hope everything is perfectly satisfactory, Miss Fielding?" |
| 14635 | I''d like to know who took it if you did n''t?" |
| 14635 | If I can write a one- reel picture play, why not a long one-- a real play-- a five- reel drama? |
| 14635 | Is Mr. Hammond giving you this money--_all_ this money-- for your very own?" |
| 14635 | Is it anything catching? |
| 14635 | Is n''t that just like her?" |
| 14635 | Is that a bird or a beast?" |
| 14635 | Is that what you are so pleased about? |
| 14635 | Is there a new disease?" |
| 14635 | Is this the way you always meet visitors at this beautiful, picturesque old place?" |
| 14635 | Just drive to the hotel----""What hotel?" |
| 14635 | Mrs. Tellingham understood, however, and demanded:"Where?" |
| 14635 | Not for_ keeps_?" |
| 14635 | Nothin''but poison ivy?" |
| 14635 | Now the query was,"How is the picture to be advertised?" |
| 14635 | Of course Ruth was proud; why should she not be? |
| 14635 | Of course, it_ was_ an accident?" |
| 14635 | People?" |
| 14635 | Perseverence did n''t cut much of a figure in her case, did it?" |
| 14635 | Phat will the young ladies be thinkin''of yez? |
| 14635 | Phativer do be the trouble, me darlin''?" |
| 14635 | Play hooky?" |
| 14635 | She said, frankly:"Just what do you mean, Mr. Farrington? |
| 14635 | So that proves it, do n''t it?" |
| 14635 | Suppose Miss Brokaw should come in?" |
| 14635 | Surely you can see them now?" |
| 14635 | The director came to inquire:"What are you going to do with that girl?" |
| 14635 | Then, the next moment, he ejaculated:"What under the sun is she doing? |
| 14635 | There''s no-- nobody dead?" |
| 14635 | WHAT IS AHEAD? |
| 14635 | Was Ruth Fielding going to be held in quarantine? |
| 14635 | Were all the mesdemoiselles at supper this evening?" |
| 14635 | What am I-- a kid?" |
| 14635 | What are they?" |
| 14635 | What do they teach you at Seven Oaks?" |
| 14635 | What do you know about that, ladies?" |
| 14635 | What do you think?" |
| 14635 | What do you think?" |
| 14635 | What do you want her for, Ruthie?" |
| 14635 | What do you want me to do?" |
| 14635 | What does it matter how you got it? |
| 14635 | What ever would Jabez do without her? |
| 14635 | What has the child said now? |
| 14635 | What? |
| 14635 | Where?" |
| 14635 | Why did you come here? |
| 14635 | Why should n''t they?" |
| 14635 | Will you please give me_ your_ version of the accident? |
| 14635 | Would it change things for the better, or in the least?" |
| 14635 | You remember, Heavy?" |
| 14635 | You remember? |
| 14635 | You''re not_ going_, Ruth Fielding?" |
| 14635 | _ How did you find out?_"At that Helen burst into laughter again. |
| 14635 | _ That_ was the secret between you and that Mr. Hammond, was it?" |
| 14635 | _ What_ can he be? |
| 14635 | _ What_?" |
| 14635 | _ When_ can I see you?" |
| 14635 | _ Wo n''t_ our Western friend be furious at that?" |
| 14635 | added the girl of the Red Mill,"what will become of my school work? |
| 14635 | an old- fashioned wood- heater, is it?" |
| 14635 | but how could she ever stand up before them all and give an oration?" |
| 14635 | do you think she is crazy?" |
| 14635 | have you used Higgin''s Toothpaste?'' |
| 14635 | how did you get down there? |
| 14635 | how does_ one_ person ever get a sheet smooth on a bed?" |
| 14635 | how''s that, Ruth?" |
| 14635 | it ca n''t be Ann?" |
| 14635 | returned Curly,"what did she want to tell a story for? |
| 14635 | see that?" |
| 14635 | she''s not jealous?" |
| 14635 | shouted Curly Smith,"where are you going with that light?" |
| 14635 | then it''s_ his_ secret?" |
| 14635 | what about that nice boy, Thomas Cameron? |
| 14635 | what better are you than poor little Gregg, I''d like to know? |
| 14635 | what ever would we do if Ruthie Fielding did n''t graduate?" |
| 14635 | what is Briarwood Hall coming to?" |
| 14635 | what''s the matter, Ruthie?" |
| 14635 | when are you going?" |
| 14635 | who ever heard the like? |
| 14635 | who kin that be?" |
| 14635 | who would n''t?" |
| 14635 | you do n''t really suppose she''s run away?" |
| 14635 | you do not know me?" |
| 14635 | you have achieved that, have you not?" |
| 14635 | you''re never going into that cold water?" |
| 4985 | About what, Uncle? |
| 4985 | Ai n''t I lucky? |
| 4985 | Ai n''t this awful? 4985 Ai n''t ye mighty brash, Jabe?" |
| 4985 | Ai n''t you calculatin''on going to high school? |
| 4985 | Ai n''t you got nothin''to wear to school? |
| 4985 | All together, air ye? 4985 And did n''t I lose enough? |
| 4985 | And do n''t you go to school? |
| 4985 | And have some sleek and oily scoundrel steal it, eh? |
| 4985 | And how does the Ogre treat you? |
| 4985 | And how''s Mercy? |
| 4985 | And is that the way to make butter? |
| 4985 | And is that ugly old man your uncle? |
| 4985 | And the trunk was washed out of the wagon, Uncle Jabez? 4985 And then you''ll be in town every day?" |
| 4985 | And why do n''t you? |
| 4985 | And with a red light tied to his collar? |
| 4985 | And you expected to go out to the Red Mill to- night, Miss? |
| 4985 | And you have n''t been past the gate with the green eyes since? |
| 4985 | Are we safe? |
| 4985 | Are ye too proud to wear dresses that''s give to ye? |
| 4985 | Because why? 4985 But do n''t you see? |
| 4985 | But no thanks to Jabe Potter-- heh? 4985 But something went wrong wi''ye, deary?" |
| 4985 | But suppose it should be Parloe''s after all? |
| 4985 | But what will uncle say? |
| 4985 | But what''s the use? 4985 But, dear,"said Ruth, wonderingly,"how will we get the goods-- and the trimmings-- and pay Miss Lock for her work?" |
| 4985 | But--"Mr. Curtis, has there been anybody here for me? |
| 4985 | Ca n''t you find nothing more interestin''to do when ye come to town than go to see a sick gal? |
| 4985 | Cameron? |
| 4985 | Can you bring him up? |
| 4985 | Come on now, girl-- What''s your name? |
| 4985 | Did I pass that word to you, Rosa? |
| 4985 | Did n''t my uncle tell you? |
| 4985 | Did n''t you do well? |
| 4985 | Did n''t you know I had come here to live with you? |
| 4985 | Did n''t you know that sweet butter comes from sour cream? 4985 Do I know Jabe Potter?" |
| 4985 | Do n''t the dog show no signs of looking for Tom? |
| 4985 | Do n''t you think you''re mighty important? |
| 4985 | Do you know anything about it? 4985 Do you suppose all old Jabe''s money is in this?" |
| 4985 | Do you suppose there was much in it? |
| 4985 | For pity''s sake I why not? |
| 4985 | For you, Miss? |
| 4985 | Has something happened to my trunk? |
| 4985 | He is an ugly one; is n''t he? 4985 He''s a- talkin'', ai n''t he?" |
| 4985 | He-- he is n''t badly hurt, then-- your brother, I mean? |
| 4985 | How about the Ogre? |
| 4985 | How dare you''Miss''me? |
| 4985 | How did that happen? |
| 4985 | How did you know? |
| 4985 | How does the Ogre treat you? |
| 4985 | How far are we from Cheslow, please? |
| 4985 | How much has gone, boy? |
| 4985 | How much schoolin''do you want? |
| 4985 | How''ll she get up and down stairs? |
| 4985 | How-- how did he come to fall over that bank? |
| 4985 | I guess he''s a miser as well as a hermit; is n''t he? |
| 4985 | I guess ye like this here gal that''s cone to live on Jabez, purty well; do n''t ye-- yeou an''yer sister? |
| 4985 | I know you''ve got reason for disliking him--"What do you mean? |
| 4985 | I suppose, when it comes warm, you can sit out in the arbor? |
| 4985 | Is n''t that jest like the Semples? 4985 Is she going to be taken away?" |
| 4985 | Is-- is there any place I can stop over night in the village? 4985 It''s dress; is it? |
| 4985 | Jabez,he said,"do you know how the river is at Minturn?" |
| 4985 | Jasper Parloe told? |
| 4985 | Just what do you mean? |
| 4985 | Just what is troubling Miss Cameron at present? |
| 4985 | Know about what, child? |
| 4985 | Mad at me? 4985 Made me a present?" |
| 4985 | May I assist at the butter''s toilet? |
| 4985 | Me Jabez Potter? 4985 Meaning that I do when I speak to you about the water; eh?" |
| 4985 | Mercy has had her supper; has n''t she, wife? |
| 4985 | Mercy is-- Why, who''s this? |
| 4985 | Miss True--"You mean that old maid that wrote to me? |
| 4985 | Not three? |
| 4985 | Now, where was it? |
| 4985 | Oh, I-- Well, Tom, you know I believe I could easily find the man who almost drove the team over you the night you were hurt? 4985 One of the girls come in to see her?" |
| 4985 | Perhaps I have n''t money enough to pay for a lodging there? |
| 4985 | See how the bank''s all torn up? 4985 See that man in the old dusty suit?" |
| 4985 | She likes you, then? |
| 4985 | Sir? |
| 4985 | So this horrid rain has not washed you away? 4985 Something down there, old fellow?" |
| 4985 | Suppose I have n''t anything else to think about but you girls? |
| 4985 | That''s odd, ai n''t it? |
| 4985 | The lame girl, sir? |
| 4985 | Then run and ask,urged her friend, while Tom added, good- naturedly:"Yes, why not come along? |
| 4985 | Then you,he said, speaking even more gently than before,"are little Mary Potter''s daughter?" |
| 4985 | Then, ca n''t you take the dog and see if you can find young Tom? |
| 4985 | They took him to the doctor''s house, did they? |
| 4985 | This is the girl Mr. Mason spoke to me about, is n''t it? |
| 4985 | Thought you were going to be run down; did n''t you? |
| 4985 | Through me? |
| 4985 | Uncle,she said, bravely,"can I go to school?" |
| 4985 | Was he here? |
| 4985 | Was it a large sum, Uncle? |
| 4985 | Was you with them Camerons? |
| 4985 | We must wait for Ruth to-- er-- wash the butter, is it? |
| 4985 | We must warn them-- we can warn them, ca n''t we? |
| 4985 | Well, and what happened? 4985 What are you doing, you foolish boy?" |
| 4985 | What are you going to do, Ruth? |
| 4985 | What do you know about it, girl? |
| 4985 | What do you make of it? |
| 4985 | What do you mean? |
| 4985 | What do you mean? |
| 4985 | What do you reckon on doing with it? |
| 4985 | What is all this? |
| 4985 | What is the matter with my pretty leetle creetur? |
| 4985 | What shall we do? |
| 4985 | What time did you get to the station? |
| 4985 | What''s that you want to do, Ruth? |
| 4985 | What''s that? |
| 4985 | What''s the matter with that young one? |
| 4985 | What''s the matter with you, Reno? |
| 4985 | What? 4985 Where are you goin''?" |
| 4985 | Where are you going, Ruth? |
| 4985 | Where d''ye wanter go, Miss? |
| 4985 | Where was it? |
| 4985 | Where was you last night? |
| 4985 | Where''s Tom, Reno? 4985 Who are yeou ter drive me away?" |
| 4985 | Who''s going to pay me for it? |
| 4985 | Who''s that? 4985 Who''s this a- coming? |
| 4985 | Who''s your uncle, child? |
| 4985 | Why do n''t I do what, sir? |
| 4985 | Why do n''t you cry? |
| 4985 | Why do n''t you do it? |
| 4985 | Why is n''t it? |
| 4985 | Why not, child? 4985 Why not?" |
| 4985 | Why should I? |
| 4985 | Why, do n''t you know about it? |
| 4985 | Why, the old curmudgeon has got a decent streak in him, after all; has n''t he? |
| 4985 | Why-- why ca n''t you? |
| 4985 | Will it be too much trouble for you to get my trunk, Uncle, so that I can begin going to school next week? |
| 4985 | Will she see me? |
| 4985 | Will we be safe here, Tom? |
| 4985 | Wo n''t he let you? |
| 4985 | Ye been up ter the mill, hev ye? |
| 4985 | Ye warn''t hurt so bad then, arter all, was ye, Master Cameron? |
| 4985 | Yeou be a stranger here, eh? |
| 4985 | Yes; why not? |
| 4985 | Yes? 4985 You ai n''t come from the poor farm, child?" |
| 4985 | You ca n''t? |
| 4985 | You did n''t see the cash- box, of course? |
| 4985 | You do n''t claim it to be yours, then? |
| 4985 | You do n''t mean to say you found that down yonder? |
| 4985 | You do n''t mean when you ran the mules into the water, Uncle? |
| 4985 | You do n''t waste your time in smiling and smirking; do you? |
| 4985 | You do; do you? |
| 4985 | You get out at Cheslow; do n''t you Miss? |
| 4985 | You have n''t retired from business; have you, miller? 4985 You know me?" |
| 4985 | You mean because of the loss of that cash- box? |
| 4985 | You mean to dare me; do ye, Jabe? |
| 4985 | You see it''s blood, do n''t you? 4985 You would n''t have done it for my sake?" |
| 4985 | Your uncle? |
| 4985 | ''Acalycal''?" |
| 4985 | Ai n''t this jest awful?" |
| 4985 | And how could her Uncle Jabez-- the relative she had not as yet seen-- be the cause of Tom Cameron''s injury? |
| 4985 | And how do you get on?" |
| 4985 | And stumblingly she preferred her request:"If you are going to be some time trading, Uncle Jabez, ca n''t I go down to call on Mercy Curtis? |
| 4985 | And that most nice things are the result of hard work? |
| 4985 | And was n''t it lucky Reno was along with him?" |
| 4985 | And ye beat that Semple gal?" |
| 4985 | And you know how funny Jabe is, wife? |
| 4985 | And your uncle-- isn''t he just an ugly dear? |
| 4985 | And-- and I''m not to ask who gave them to me?" |
| 4985 | Anybody from Red Mill?" |
| 4985 | As she pushed through them one man said:"Why, here''s the smart leetle gal that took Semple''s gal down a peg-- eh? |
| 4985 | Beginning that trouble airly; ai n''t ye?" |
| 4985 | But I''m going to know the right of it some time, and if you know more about it than you ought--""What air ye talkin''about, Jabe Potter?" |
| 4985 | But Miss True Pettis--""Miss True?" |
| 4985 | But all the girls have turned up their noses at me--""Let''em stay turned up-- what do you care?" |
| 4985 | But she laughed lightly, and said:"Do you want me to come on crutches, Mercy? |
| 4985 | CHAPTER III WHAT HAS HAPPENED? |
| 4985 | Ca n''t somebody take Reno and hunt for him? |
| 4985 | Ca n''t we warn them?" |
| 4985 | Curtis smote one fist into his other palm, exclaiming:"You do n''t mean to say that you was what Jabe Potter was after?" |
| 4985 | D''ye hear that, Jabez? |
| 4985 | Davison?" |
| 4985 | Did Doctor Davison tell you?" |
| 4985 | Did n''t know you was ter hev comp''ny; did ye, Jabe? |
| 4985 | Did n''t they give you my canes, Dusty Miller? |
| 4985 | Did n''t you ever have to wait for anything you wanted in your life?" |
| 4985 | Did n''t your friends know him?" |
| 4985 | Do you belong aboard?" |
| 4985 | Do you color it?" |
| 4985 | Do you live''round here?" |
| 4985 | Do you?" |
| 4985 | Does he look just that cross all the time? |
| 4985 | Got mad with you because you beat her at spelling; eh?" |
| 4985 | Had it been Jabez Potter who ran down Tom Cameron and forced him down the embankment with his motorcycle? |
| 4985 | Have you a bag there?" |
| 4985 | Havin''a picnic?" |
| 4985 | He knows who found his master; do n''t you, Reno?" |
| 4985 | He would n''t be so sure about it''s being safe then; would he?" |
| 4985 | He''s pale; ai n''t he?" |
| 4985 | His smile, and his way of speaking, encouraged her to ask:"Can you tell me why we have stopped?" |
| 4985 | How are you getting on?" |
| 4985 | How would this Tom Cameron look? |
| 4985 | How- de- do, girl?" |
| 4985 | I did nothing at all toward finding your brother-- I suppose he is your brother, Miss?" |
| 4985 | I never knew ye ter be dishonest--""What''s that?" |
| 4985 | I suppose it''s something for me to be grateful for; eh?" |
| 4985 | I want to go with you more than I ever wanted to do anything in my whole life--""What''s that?" |
| 4985 | If it was perfectly safe for them to satisfy their curiosity, why not she? |
| 4985 | If you''d lost a sack of grain for a neighbor ye''d made it up to him; would n''t ye?" |
| 4985 | Is Jabez Potter really your uncle?" |
| 4985 | Is he struck with the fear o''his latter end?" |
| 4985 | Is n''t that butter ever coming?" |
| 4985 | Is n''t there a steep and rocky road down there, that shoots off the Osago Lake pike?" |
| 4985 | Is that Jabez and his mules, Ruthie? |
| 4985 | Is that boy really hurt?" |
| 4985 | Is-- is it really so that I can?" |
| 4985 | It''s all very well to bring this old wheelchair; but where are my two sticks? |
| 4985 | It''s gone?" |
| 4985 | Now, you''ll come; wo n''t you?" |
| 4985 | Or had he sent somebody to take her to the Red Mill? |
| 4985 | Or has he squared hisself with ye?" |
| 4985 | Or, was there no meaning at all to the muttering of the wounded boy? |
| 4985 | Perhaps next fall I''ll go away to boarding school-- won''t that be fun?" |
| 4985 | Potter''s?" |
| 4985 | Potter?" |
| 4985 | Ruth remembered the cash- box and wondered if it had been left in the mill while her uncle went to Cheslow? |
| 4985 | Sam Curtis''gal-- the cripple?" |
| 4985 | She flushed and hesitated, and he said:"Do you hear me? |
| 4985 | Showing off; was n''t you?" |
| 4985 | Suppose the wave should reach and sweep away the bridge before they could cross the river? |
| 4985 | The box has been cleaned since I saw it--""You do n''t mean that it is your uncle''s cash- box, Ruth?" |
| 4985 | Then he added:"And I should n''t be at all surprised, young man, if you''d given Jasper money to keep his mouth shut-- eh?" |
| 4985 | Then to Tom:"Now young man, have you the lunch basket?" |
| 4985 | Was Uncle Jabez here to meet her? |
| 4985 | Was it an accusation referring to the boy''s present plight? |
| 4985 | Was it saved?" |
| 4985 | Was the box there?" |
| 4985 | What can it mean? |
| 4985 | What did they mean? |
| 4985 | What for?" |
| 4985 | What is it?" |
| 4985 | What kind of a boy was he? |
| 4985 | What''s his dog doing here?" |
| 4985 | What''s the loss of some old rags, and a trunk,''side of my money?" |
| 4985 | Where''s Tom?" |
| 4985 | Why do n''t you let your water out so that, if Minturn should break, she''d have free sweep here and so do less damage below? |
| 4985 | Why should he take anybody to help me? |
| 4985 | Would n''t that be fine?" |
| 4985 | Would she find somebody waiting to take her to the Red Mill when she got back to the station? |
| 4985 | Would you give more than that not ter have it known who done it?" |
| 4985 | Ye ai n''t got so wealthy that ye ai n''t goin''to grind any more?" |
| 4985 | Ye understand?" |
| 4985 | You warn''t never lookin''for Jabe Potter?" |
| 4985 | You will get the trunk from the station, wo n''t you?" |
| 4985 | You will not leave the poor dog here?" |
| 4985 | You-- you are all alone in the world, child?" |
| 4985 | ai n''t you ever going to get that thing done?" |
| 4985 | asked the man again, and Ruth had enough Yankee blood in her to answer the query by asking:"Are you Mr. Jabez Potter?" |
| 4985 | croaked Jabez Potter, eyeing her with his usual frown,"I did n''t bring any canes; because why? |
| 4985 | do you always frown just like that?" |
| 4985 | he ejaculated, softly,"how''d ye git this away from Parloe?" |
| 4985 | how did you know he had it?" |
| 4985 | what''s he going to try and do?" |
| 4985 | what?" |
| 4985 | why did n''t you tell me that Helen gave me the frocks?" |
| 34024 | About_ what?_demanded Ruth, earnestly. |
| 34024 | Ai n''t no likelihood of his being over thar now, Missus? |
| 34024 | Ai n''t she pretty cute? |
| 34024 | Ai n''t this the gal that big man was after this morning? |
| 34024 | All right? |
| 34024 | And ca n''t the poor creatures out there be helped? 34024 And did that awful man, Crab, bring you here?" |
| 34024 | And how are all the Sweetbriars? |
| 34024 | And pray, Miss, why did you have to go into the water after the fish? |
| 34024 | And she has had to live out there without any decent woman, and no girls to play with, and all that? |
| 34024 | And this man, Crab, can be found down yonder at the lighthouse? |
| 34024 | And what is the matter with Uncle Jabez? |
| 34024 | And where will we run to? |
| 34024 | And where''d she go? 34024 And who are we to hold on to?" |
| 34024 | And who helped you do it? |
| 34024 | And ye do n''t know whar Jane Ann went? |
| 34024 | Are ye goin''to let me in or not? |
| 34024 | Asking for the gentleman? |
| 34024 | At least,Ruth said to Heavy, quietly, yet with decision,"you will ask your old friend to go?" |
| 34024 | Axing for_ me?_cried the ranchman, getting up quickly. |
| 34024 | Because your folks live there? |
| 34024 | Bill Hicks, of Bullhide? |
| 34024 | Bringing up a girl among a lot of cow-- cow-- what do you call''em? |
| 34024 | But air you lookin''for a gal that was brought ashore from the wreck of that lumber schooner? |
| 34024 | But the question is: What shall we do about it? |
| 34024 | But what is Mr. Hicks to do about his niece, Mother Purling? |
| 34024 | But what is your name? |
| 34024 | But what''s your real name? |
| 34024 | But where is she? |
| 34024 | But where will you go? 34024 But who is it that''s coming here for her? |
| 34024 | But why did you come here with him that night? |
| 34024 | But you intended inviting Mary Cox? |
| 34024 | But, does he buy you such things as boats-- right out-- for you just to play with? |
| 34024 | But_ who_ is he? |
| 34024 | Can you sail us around the Thimble? |
| 34024 | Could it be, after all, one of the boys and Nita? 34024 Did you bring my Goody Two- Sticks home all right?" |
| 34024 | Did you get anything else out of it, Ruthie Fielding? |
| 34024 | Did you run away to come East? |
| 34024 | Did_ I_ say she said anything about Lighthouse Point? |
| 34024 | Do n''t I look so? |
| 34024 | Do n''t you all think it would be a good plan to go to bed? 34024 Do n''t you see who that message refers to?" |
| 34024 | Do n''t you suppose I know that, Miss? |
| 34024 | Do to who? |
| 34024 | Do ye want him now, Mister? |
| 34024 | Do you mind running back again, Tom? |
| 34024 | Do you suppose he''d take us ashore in his boat, Tom? 34024 Does it_ hurt_ the fish to be caught?" |
| 34024 | Does your father give you everything you ask him for? |
| 34024 | For me? |
| 34024 | Found anything''long shore from that wreck? |
| 34024 | Had n''t you better sit down, Mr. Hicks, and let me tell you all about it? |
| 34024 | Has she always been lame? |
| 34024 | Has she come up? |
| 34024 | Have n''t they got the wrecked people off? |
| 34024 | Have you noticed how that Crab fellow looks at her? |
| 34024 | He''s a bad one for looks; ai n''t he, Miss? |
| 34024 | Helped me do what? |
| 34024 | How can I_ what_, Miss? |
| 34024 | How can they ever launch the boat into those waves? |
| 34024 | How can you, when we are eating such a perfect dinner as this, be contemplating any other future occasion when we possibly shall be hungry? |
| 34024 | How could she have done it with me lying here awake? |
| 34024 | How dared you? |
| 34024 | How do I know you''re my friends? |
| 34024 | How ever did it happen, Ruthie? |
| 34024 | How long have you been out here on this rock? |
| 34024 | How''s the rheumatics, Aunty? |
| 34024 | If she is not sorry and afraid yet, how will she feel when she awakes in the night and remembers what might have been? |
| 34024 | If your name_ is_''Mercy''you show none to either your friends or enemies; do you? |
| 34024 | In Lake Osago? |
| 34024 | Including a piano? |
| 34024 | Is it Jane Ann herself? 34024 Is it possible, Miss Kate?" |
| 34024 | Is it really you? 34024 Is n''t he allowed any leeway at all-- not even when he lands a fish?" |
| 34024 | Is she safe? 34024 It''s a crazy idea; is n''t it?" |
| 34024 | It''s ugly enough to be real; is n''t it? |
| 34024 | Jane Ann who? |
| 34024 | Listen here to it, will ye? 34024 Lost that paper?" |
| 34024 | Nita what? |
| 34024 | Nita what? |
| 34024 | Nita? |
| 34024 | Nor in Maine? |
| 34024 | Not here? |
| 34024 | Not_ sick?_whispered Ruth, in amazement. |
| 34024 | Now we come to the mine, do we? |
| 34024 | Now what do you think of my Jane Ann? |
| 34024 | Now, do you suppose I needed help to do so silly a thing as that? |
| 34024 | Now, will they know what to do with it? |
| 34024 | Oh, has he been robbed again? |
| 34024 | Oh, well; you''ll be going down to Heavy''s seashore cottage with them now, I suppose? |
| 34024 | Oh, you did, eh? |
| 34024 | Over where? |
| 34024 | Say, where is this Crab man? |
| 34024 | See it-- between those two ledges? |
| 34024 | See that white thing fluttering again? 34024 Seen all you want to of that deserted island, Ruthie?" |
| 34024 | Shall we take one of the rowboats in tow, Ruth? |
| 34024 | She is n''t afraid of him; is she? |
| 34024 | She''s left you? |
| 34024 | So I eat a scallop''s_ eye_, do I? 34024 So they_ did_ send for him?" |
| 34024 | So you air the gal they brought ashore off the lumber schooner last night? |
| 34024 | So you can make up your party now? |
| 34024 | So you found''way down East nothing like what you thought it was? |
| 34024 | So you have n''t got to pay five hundred dollars for me, then, Uncle Bill? |
| 34024 | So you thought you could bring up a girl baby from the time she could crawl till she was old enough to get married-- eh? |
| 34024 | So you''ve finally been roped in by the''Soft Babies''have you? 34024 So you''ve hearn tell of me, too, have you, younker?" |
| 34024 | Somebody else wrote, then? |
| 34024 | Something beside the pianner and the shift- on hat? |
| 34024 | Tell me,said Ruth, curiously, as she came forward,"was what the paper said about it all true?" |
| 34024 | That New York newspaper-- with the picter of Jane Ann on a pony what looked like one o''these horsecar horses? 34024 That ai n''t sech a great crime; is it?" |
| 34024 | That is n''t a real name; is it? |
| 34024 | That might give away where you come from, eh? |
| 34024 | The_ Whipstitch_ is the name of the schooner? |
| 34024 | Then it''s Uncle Jabez? |
| 34024 | Then somebody''s been a- stringin''of me? |
| 34024 | Then where did it go to so suddenly? 34024 Then you do n''t belong in Portland?" |
| 34024 | Then you prefer to go under a false name-- even among your friends? |
| 34024 | Then, what right had you to give it to your niece? 34024 There_ is_ trouble; is n''t there? |
| 34024 | Uncle Jabez and Aunt Alviry will both be glad to see you----"There''s trouble, sir; what is it? |
| 34024 | Was it an institution? |
| 34024 | Well, ai n''t that the beatenest? |
| 34024 | Well, it''s to be a Sweetbriar frolic; is n''t it, Heavy? |
| 34024 | Well, what happened? |
| 34024 | Well, who should pull it if I do n''t? |
| 34024 | Whar''s my Jane Ann? |
| 34024 | What about the Tintacker Mine? 34024 What are they going to attempt now?" |
| 34024 | What are you dreaming about, Ruthie? |
| 34024 | What are you going to do to her? |
| 34024 | What are you going to do with that thing, Bobby Steele? |
| 34024 | What are you talking about? |
| 34024 | What can Crab have to do with it, anyway? |
| 34024 | What can it mean? |
| 34024 | What can we do against that man? |
| 34024 | What did you hear, Ruth? |
| 34024 | What did you hear? |
| 34024 | What do you hear? |
| 34024 | What do you mean by an''institution''? |
| 34024 | What do you suppose he looked at Nita so hard for? |
| 34024 | What do you think it looks like? |
| 34024 | What do you think of that Nita girl? |
| 34024 | What do_ you_ mean, Goody Two- Sticks? |
| 34024 | What does this mean? |
| 34024 | What fellow? |
| 34024 | What for? |
| 34024 | What has he done with her? 34024 What have you got in her?" |
| 34024 | What have you got there, Heavy? |
| 34024 | What is he? |
| 34024 | What is it, Maxwell? |
| 34024 | What is it? |
| 34024 | What makes you so mussed up? |
| 34024 | What shall we do now? |
| 34024 | What under the sun''s the matter with you, Bobbins? |
| 34024 | What was Crab showing her the paper for? |
| 34024 | What you done, Cap''n? |
| 34024 | What you got there, Missus? |
| 34024 | What''s happened to you since we came from the supper, Helen? |
| 34024 | What''s that? |
| 34024 | What''s that? |
| 34024 | What''s the Tintacker Mine? |
| 34024 | What''s the matter with that fellow now? |
| 34024 | What''s the matter with you? |
| 34024 | What''s the matter, Tommy? |
| 34024 | What''s the meaning of this? |
| 34024 | What''s your name? |
| 34024 | What, go back to that town? |
| 34024 | What_ is_ it, Aunt Alviry? 34024 What_ is_ the matter, Helen?" |
| 34024 | Whatever would your uncle say if he knew about it? |
| 34024 | Where did he go after giving you the note? |
| 34024 | Where do you girls want to go? |
| 34024 | Where''s Ruth? |
| 34024 | Where''s Uncle Jabez? |
| 34024 | Which is Thimble Island? |
| 34024 | Who can it be this time of night? |
| 34024 | Who is it-- Bobbins? |
| 34024 | Who is the little girl, please? |
| 34024 | Who under the sun can she have come here to meet? |
| 34024 | Whom did you say that to? |
| 34024 | Why did n''t you wave your signal from the top of the rock, so that it could be seen on the point? |
| 34024 | Why not? |
| 34024 | Why, Heavy asked her to go; did n''t she? |
| 34024 | Why, Ruth, what paper is this? 34024 Why, do you suppose?" |
| 34024 | Will he pay the five hundred dollars to you----? |
| 34024 | Ya- as-- ain''t I? |
| 34024 | You ai n''t got no folks around here; hev ye? |
| 34024 | You did n''t know whether_ I_ could go, I suppose you mean? |
| 34024 | You did n''t write to Silver Ranch to tell us that my little Jane Ann was found? |
| 34024 | You did? |
| 34024 | You do n''t really suspect that Crab and Nita are out there, Ruth? |
| 34024 | You have had many disappointments, sir? |
| 34024 | You here? |
| 34024 | You say the captain of the schooner and his wife are nothing to you? |
| 34024 | You wanter see me, son? |
| 34024 | You''ve been expecting some rich man to adopt you, and dress you in lovely clothes, and all that, eh? |
| 34024 | Your name Stone? |
| 34024 | _ What?_shrieked Helen. |
| 34024 | ''s, then, to decide whether you would accept Heavy''s invitation, or not?" |
| 34024 | And now, what do our initials stand for?" |
| 34024 | And so she_ is_ here with you, after all?" |
| 34024 | And that day he''d been traipsing off fishing with you folks on the motor launch; had n''t he? |
| 34024 | And who was her companion on this midnight escapade? |
| 34024 | And you say he run off with the little girl the other night in Mr. Stone''s catboat? |
| 34024 | Are they doing this just for the fun of it?" |
| 34024 | Bimeby he says to me, one day:"''Alviry, that Vac- o- jac works all right; do n''t it?'' |
| 34024 | But Crab was supposed to be at the lighthouse at this hour; was n''t he? |
| 34024 | But how ever could she earn three hundred and fifty dollars? |
| 34024 | But if he recognized her----""From the picture?" |
| 34024 | But nobody has been here----""Did n''t he come back?" |
| 34024 | But you could n''t expect him to give up Helen and Tom and take you into his home instead, could you?" |
| 34024 | CHAPTER XVI RUTH''S SECRET"What has happened?" |
| 34024 | CHAPTER XVII WHAT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER"Whatever have you got there, Tom?" |
| 34024 | CHAPTER XX"WHAR''S MY JANE ANN?" |
| 34024 | Did he leave aught for me?" |
| 34024 | Did you fall in the lake?" |
| 34024 | Did_ you_ go to one, Miss?" |
| 34024 | Do I look like I''d_ bite_?" |
| 34024 | Do you agree?" |
| 34024 | Do you know why?" |
| 34024 | Finally she said, with her sly look:"I guess I ai n''t obliged to tell you that; am I?" |
| 34024 | Have you come for me? |
| 34024 | He shook the water from his eyes, threw himself breast high out of the sea, and shouted:"Has she come up? |
| 34024 | Hicks''?" |
| 34024 | Hicks''know she was here?" |
| 34024 | How should she"begin to go about it"? |
| 34024 | I''d like to see that island nearer to; would n''t you?" |
| 34024 | Is n''t one name at a time sufficient, Miss?" |
| 34024 | Is she alive?" |
| 34024 | Is she safe?" |
| 34024 | It sank down, down, down----Was that a nibble? |
| 34024 | Jib Pottoway had some dandy paper- covered novels in his locker and he let me read''em----""Who under the sun is Jib Pottoway?" |
| 34024 | Must they drown?" |
| 34024 | Oh, I''m just going to lie in the sand all day, when we get to the Point----""And have your meals brought to you, Heavy?" |
| 34024 | Perhaps you had better go to the authorities first----""What authorities?" |
| 34024 | Prospected for it, did they say?" |
| 34024 | Ruth flushed angrily, but before she could speak, Nita said, looking coolly at The Fox:"You''re a might snappy, snarly sort of a girl; ai n''t you? |
| 34024 | Suppose Nita and her companion should be wrecked in the catboat? |
| 34024 | Suppose, instead of having run away from a rich uncle and a big cattle ranch, Nita comes from bad people? |
| 34024 | There are some women and children already-- see? |
| 34024 | There''s something fluttering there-- a handkerchief, is it?" |
| 34024 | They''re surprisin''different from boys; ai n''t they?" |
| 34024 | Want one, Nell?" |
| 34024 | Was he one of the longshoremen? |
| 34024 | Was n''t she good enough to have a name of her own-- and one a little more modern?" |
| 34024 | We''ll show''em a right good time; is it a go, Uncle Bill?" |
| 34024 | Well,_ that_ was something,"began the doctor, when Ruth stopped him with an abrupt question:"Why do you say that they need me at home, sir?" |
| 34024 | Whar''s my Jane Ann, I say?" |
| 34024 | Whar''s my Jane Ann?" |
| 34024 | What d''ye make of it? |
| 34024 | What do girls know about fishing?" |
| 34024 | What do you know about this matter that I do n''t know?" |
| 34024 | What does it mean?" |
| 34024 | What if Nita really_ was_ Jane Hicks? |
| 34024 | What is it?" |
| 34024 | What is it?" |
| 34024 | What you done with her?" |
| 34024 | What''s the matter with him?" |
| 34024 | Where did it come from?" |
| 34024 | Where has he taken her in the boat? |
| 34024 | Who is going to Lighthouse Point?" |
| 34024 | Why, if once I get my paws on this here Crab----""You want to get the girl most; do n''t you?" |
| 34024 | Why, we really made it up last winter; did n''t we?" |
| 34024 | Why, we''d hardly have known our Bobbins; would we, Ruthie? |
| 34024 | Why-- why do n''t you look where you''re sitting, Jennie Stone?" |
| 34024 | You would n''t call Busy Izzy a Sweetbriar; would you?" |
| 34024 | _ Now_, what d''ye think of it, Sissy?" |
| 34024 | cried Bob''s sister,"what is the matter with you now? |
| 34024 | do you know all you want to know, Hardshell?" |
| 34024 | gasped Ruth, when she had hastily scanned all this,"do you suppose that any sane girl would have run away from all that for just a foolish whim?" |
| 34024 | have they drilled that stoop out of your shoulders?" |
| 34024 | have you been in the water?" |
| 34024 | how_ can_ you?" |
| 34024 | is n''t that great?" |
| 34024 | see that man-- that man in the middle? |
| 34024 | see them?" |
| 34024 | so you''re home; are you?" |
| 34024 | that would shore be some doin''s; would n''t it?" |
| 34024 | want to raise the whole neighborhood?" |
| 34024 | what is it fluttering on the rock? |
| 34024 | what kine ob a man is yo''?" |
| 34024 | what will you do?" |
| 34024 | whatever are you doing?" |
| 34024 | where are those useless boys?" |
| 34024 | why do n''t they come up again?" |
| 34024 | why do n''t you answer?" |
| 25802 | ''Ridiculous''? |
| 25802 | About that yellow lady? |
| 25802 | Ah,said the practical Indian maid,"I understand English-- and American; only I do not always grasp the-- er-- humor, do you call it?" |
| 25802 | And of course he is not dangerous? |
| 25802 | And that little fat man-- see him? 25802 And when do you begin on another of them pictures, Niece Ruth?" |
| 25802 | As thoughtful for me as ever, Mammy Rose, are n''t you? |
| 25802 | Better than pirates? |
| 25802 | But if it is a cavern, where under the sun is the mouth of it? 25802 But what are the''pipes''he talks about? |
| 25802 | But what do they smuggle? 25802 But where do you suppose that queer old man has his camp?" |
| 25802 | But where is Tom? 25802 But who are you king of-- or what?" |
| 25802 | But who would n''t be cattish with a fellow who has no more sense? 25802 But, will''e?" |
| 25802 | Ca n''t you leave this place? |
| 25802 | Can''t-- can''t I do anything for you? |
| 25802 | Danger of what? |
| 25802 | Did n''t he tell you he was''king of the pirates''? |
| 25802 | Did what fall down, Aunty? |
| 25802 | Do n''t the new medicine do any good? |
| 25802 | Do n''t you feel that way yourself-- the way she acts with Chess Copley? |
| 25802 | Do n''t you see we are cast away on this desert isle with no means of getting back to the camp unless we swim? |
| 25802 | Do n''t you want to dance? |
| 25802 | Do you know that it is after eleven o''clock? |
| 25802 | Do you know that that island is the one we landed on ourselves the other evening, Ruth? |
| 25802 | Do you know what you are, Tom Cameron? |
| 25802 | Do you know where they have gone? |
| 25802 | Do you know, I''m awfully unhappy? |
| 25802 | Do you know,said her friend,"I believe you can make it up to him very nicely, if you want to, Helen?" |
| 25802 | Do you mean it? 25802 Do you mean, Miss Helen, that there are cholos-- are greasers-- in these woods? |
| 25802 | Do you say so? |
| 25802 | Do you suppose I am color- blind? |
| 25802 | Do you suppose he has got Wonota? |
| 25802 | Do you suppose that poor old man is calling for help? |
| 25802 | Do you suppose we are standing on the roof of a cavern, Chess Copley? |
| 25802 | Do you think it is wise? |
| 25802 | Do you think that is right, Helen? |
| 25802 | Does she look like a white woman to you, Helen? |
| 25802 | Had we better venture ashore? |
| 25802 | Have you money-- plenty of money? |
| 25802 | He went to town? |
| 25802 | How about cutting out that scene? 25802 How do I look, girls?" |
| 25802 | How long was Chess going to stay out in his boat? |
| 25802 | How? |
| 25802 | Huh? 25802 I say, Pop, is this the place they call the Red Mill?" |
| 25802 | I understand there''s an Injun girl stopping here? 25802 I''d like to know first of all how you came here without a boat?" |
| 25802 | I''d like to know what sort of courts and judges they have up here in these woods? |
| 25802 | I''ll come for you at half past three, eh? 25802 If they went no further than that crazy man''s island, what do you suppose is keeping them?" |
| 25802 | In what? |
| 25802 | Is he crazy? |
| 25802 | Is n''t it fine to be rich? |
| 25802 | Is n''t it the one we took the first picture on? |
| 25802 | Is that so? 25802 Is that the fellow-- that big gawk in the blue suit?" |
| 25802 | Is there any wonder, then,sighed Ruth,"that we find it so hard to make her register affection for Mr. Grand? |
| 25802 | Is there going to be a real fight for the possession of Wonota, do you think? |
| 25802 | Is there much more for her to do? |
| 25802 | It was growing dark when that speed boat passed you and your friend, was it not? |
| 25802 | Just step around behind those two men and see if they are armed, Miss Ruth, will you? |
| 25802 | Let''s see: You have a paper of some kind, I suppose, to serve on me? |
| 25802 | Marooned? |
| 25802 | May I sleep in the other bed off your sitting room? 25802 Men landing boxes on the island?" |
| 25802 | More Chinamen? |
| 25802 | My idea,he said,"is to land at the back of that island--""The Kingdom of Pipes?" |
| 25802 | No? 25802 Not-- not even with me, Tom?" |
| 25802 | Now, what do you both want? |
| 25802 | Now, you ladies all right here? |
| 25802 | Of course there is no danger? |
| 25802 | Oh, he does, does he? |
| 25802 | See what a curiously acting thing that is he has got beside him? 25802 So she calls herself a''princess''does she?" |
| 25802 | So you think he is at fault? |
| 25802 | Suppose they take Wonota away before the picture is finished? |
| 25802 | Surely she was n''t a Chinese woman? 25802 That call came from the island, did n''t it?" |
| 25802 | That''s the man I spoke of,explained Ruth,"I-- I wonder who it is that''s with him?" |
| 25802 | Then I suppose the right man has never ridden up to the Red Mill and asked for you? |
| 25802 | Think that''s your King of the Pipes? |
| 25802 | Tom did not hurt him, I hope? |
| 25802 | Trot who out? |
| 25802 | Us? |
| 25802 | Well, it seems he most certainly had been''smoking the pipe''--or do they call it''hitting the pipe''? |
| 25802 | Well, who you looking at? |
| 25802 | What are you thinking of? |
| 25802 | What boat? |
| 25802 | What boys? |
| 25802 | What could have been in the boxes? 25802 What did I tell you? |
| 25802 | What do they smuggle? |
| 25802 | What do you know about that? |
| 25802 | What do you know about that? |
| 25802 | What do you mean by that? |
| 25802 | What do you mean, Wonota? |
| 25802 | What do you mean? |
| 25802 | What do you suppose those boxes are? |
| 25802 | What do you suppose we have seen, Chess? |
| 25802 | What do you think of her, Ruth? |
| 25802 | What do you think of that? |
| 25802 | What does it mean? 25802 What for?" |
| 25802 | What for? |
| 25802 | What girl''s father? |
| 25802 | What has that to do with it? |
| 25802 | What in thunder was that, Hooley? |
| 25802 | What is it, my dear? |
| 25802 | What is it? |
| 25802 | What is ridiculous? |
| 25802 | What is that? |
| 25802 | What is the matter? 25802 What island is that over there?" |
| 25802 | What man deserves such a title as that, Miss Fielding? |
| 25802 | What of the King of the Pipes? |
| 25802 | What say, Ruth? |
| 25802 | What shall we do? |
| 25802 | What was Tom going to do to- day? |
| 25802 | What was arranged? |
| 25802 | What would you do? |
| 25802 | What''s doing, Mr Bilby? |
| 25802 | What''s gone wrong? |
| 25802 | What''s that? |
| 25802 | What''s that? |
| 25802 | What''s the matter here? 25802 What''s the matter?" |
| 25802 | What''s this? |
| 25802 | When does your turn come, Ann? |
| 25802 | Where are the girls? |
| 25802 | Where can they be? 25802 Where did she go?" |
| 25802 | Where have they gone? |
| 25802 | Where is Wonota? 25802 Where is Wonota?" |
| 25802 | Where is she? 25802 Where is the King of the Pipes?" |
| 25802 | Where''s Ruth? |
| 25802 | Who is calling us? |
| 25802 | Who knocked him out? |
| 25802 | Who might this be? |
| 25802 | Who says I''ve lost it? |
| 25802 | Who under the sun is this coming in the canoe? |
| 25802 | Who''d want a Frenchman for a husband? |
| 25802 | Who''s that? |
| 25802 | Who''s that? |
| 25802 | Who''s this? |
| 25802 | Whom do you call''the Pipes''? |
| 25802 | Why are n''t you with them? 25802 Why did n''t you go with Ruth and''Lasses?" |
| 25802 | Why must I''hush''? |
| 25802 | Why not? 25802 Why, where are your eyes, Helen Cameron?" |
| 25802 | Will Mr. Hooley risk taking the scene over on that island? |
| 25802 | Will you be still? |
| 25802 | With a yellow face, yes? 25802 Wonder if those fellows braced that thing with wires? |
| 25802 | Wonder what they are up to? 25802 Wonota-- with a sunbonnet on?" |
| 25802 | Would n''t the smugglers hurt us if we caught them? |
| 25802 | You ai n''t going to stop now, when there is so much to be made in''em? |
| 25802 | You do n''t suppose that I saw him go? |
| 25802 | You do n''t suppose they would welcome any spies if they are smugglers, do you? |
| 25802 | You do n''t think you could rewrite the remaining scenes so that we can keep on to the conclusion? |
| 25802 | You got him hid away somewhere? |
| 25802 | You think he would try to abduct Wonota again? |
| 25802 | A girl?" |
| 25802 | Above the purring of the motor Aunt Alvirah raised her voice to remark to the chums on the front seat:"I do n''t see it now-- did it fall down?" |
| 25802 | Ai n''t it reediculous?" |
| 25802 | And I have n''t had since--""Since when, I''d like to know?" |
| 25802 | And if those the old man had spoken of, likewise appeared, what could Copley do against such numbers? |
| 25802 | And just what are we going for, anyway?" |
| 25802 | And then what would the Alectrion Film Corporation do about this next picture that had been planned? |
| 25802 | And what would happen when the new chance did turn up? |
| 25802 | And where was Totantora? |
| 25802 | And where will your big feature pictures come in, Miss Fielding?" |
| 25802 | And why should she be tied to certain agreements that cramped her? |
| 25802 | Are they alone?" |
| 25802 | Are those the real smugglers?" |
| 25802 | But I do n''t suppose such an operation will help you?" |
| 25802 | But as I do n''t really know, how can I tell you?" |
| 25802 | But there is so much going on here at the island----""Why not take her away to some other place and just pound it into her?" |
| 25802 | But what chance was likely to arise which would lead to their escape from this cavern? |
| 25802 | But what had become of the girl herself? |
| 25802 | But what would I get out of gadding about?" |
| 25802 | CHAPTER XII THE DANCE AT ALEXANDRIA BAY"You might have been mistaken, I suppose, Miss Ruth?" |
| 25802 | CHAPTER XVI MAROONED"I wonder if the boat did come from that island over yonder?" |
| 25802 | CHAPTER XX A FAILURE IN CALCULATION"What shall we do now?" |
| 25802 | CHAPTER XXV THE HEART''S DESIRE"And what do you think of this, Nell? |
| 25802 | Calls himself a king, does he? |
| 25802 | Chess Copley must have been on the watch( could it be possible that he had inside information about this early visit of Helen and Ruth?) |
| 25802 | Diamonds? |
| 25802 | Did you ever see such ferns?" |
| 25802 | Did you ever?" |
| 25802 | Did you think she was?" |
| 25802 | Do you mean it?" |
| 25802 | Do you suppose the King of the Pipes has captured Ruth and Chess?" |
| 25802 | Do you think Ruth is a mere chit of a flapper? |
| 25802 | Does n''t your father need him?" |
| 25802 | Does the wind sit in that quarter?" |
| 25802 | Eh? |
| 25802 | For of course there is no house there?" |
| 25802 | For what was he waiting? |
| 25802 | For_ my_ sake?" |
| 25802 | Had Mr. Bilby, who had announced that his business in this vicinity was to obtain possession of Wonota, anything to do with the men in the boat? |
| 25802 | Had the people they had seen landing from the speedy launch gone away for good and taken their camp equipment with them? |
| 25802 | Hammond?" |
| 25802 | Has Bilby come again?" |
| 25802 | Have you a search warrant?" |
| 25802 | He smiled, adding:"Quite too much like a movie plot, eh?" |
| 25802 | Hooley?" |
| 25802 | How about the throne- room scene? |
| 25802 | How could it be otherwise with Jennie at the table? |
| 25802 | How do they get in or out? |
| 25802 | How much money had Ruth already drawn in advance royalties? |
| 25802 | How''s a fellow going to register joy when he feels anything but?" |
| 25802 | How''s the weather, Sergeant?" |
| 25802 | I do n''t see him here-- do you?" |
| 25802 | I thought your men warned everybody off that island?" |
| 25802 | If the Indian girl had not gone with Bilby, where had she gone? |
| 25802 | Is he coming ashore?" |
| 25802 | Is it serious?" |
| 25802 | Is n''t it wonderful?" |
| 25802 | Is n''t it wonderful?" |
| 25802 | Is n''t that shrewd? |
| 25802 | Is that so?" |
| 25802 | Just how much did Bilby and his companions care for the law? |
| 25802 | Maybe you''ve heard of me?" |
| 25802 | Now what are we going to do?" |
| 25802 | Otherwise, what is kingship? |
| 25802 | Precious stones?" |
| 25802 | Remember?" |
| 25802 | See them? |
| 25802 | She approved of his feigning, for as long as these men did not seek to injure her, why should he incur their further notice? |
| 25802 | Sounds like a newspaper personal, does n''t it?" |
| 25802 | Sure they were not going to Copley Island?" |
| 25802 | That old jigger? |
| 25802 | The island where I met that strange old man?" |
| 25802 | The smuggler''s boat again?" |
| 25802 | Totantora, how are you?" |
| 25802 | Was he the fellow the boss wanted we should shoo off that island? |
| 25802 | Was it friend or enemy who evidently tried to attract her attention by this sibilant sound? |
| 25802 | Was it going to make money when it was distributed? |
| 25802 | Was it the smart roadster Mr. Horatio Bilby had driven to the Red Mill? |
| 25802 | Was that an abrupt end to the passage ahead of them, or a sharp turn in it? |
| 25802 | Was there a path there between two of the big boulders? |
| 25802 | We''re all right out here in the current, are we not?" |
| 25802 | Were there other apartments in the cavern, shut off by some of the hanging rugs which she saw? |
| 25802 | Were there passages besides the one by which she and Chess had been dragged in? |
| 25802 | What are you laughing about, Tom Cameron?" |
| 25802 | What do you know about Bilby?" |
| 25802 | What do you know about their being out on the river together right now? |
| 25802 | What do you know about this, Ruth?" |
| 25802 | What do you want-- and that fellow behind you?" |
| 25802 | What does your father, Chief Totantora, say to your new ideas, Wonota?" |
| 25802 | What has happened?" |
| 25802 | What is the matter?" |
| 25802 | What is this I hear? |
| 25802 | What might be your business with her?" |
| 25802 | What more was there to say? |
| 25802 | What would the newcomers-- Bilby, perhaps-- do to Copley and to her? |
| 25802 | What would these evil- looking yellow men do to her-- and to poor Chess? |
| 25802 | What''s going on here?" |
| 25802 | What''s going on, I want to know? |
| 25802 | What''s that?" |
| 25802 | What''s to be done? |
| 25802 | What''s your business with her, anyway?" |
| 25802 | Where are you taking Wonota?" |
| 25802 | Where is Wonota?" |
| 25802 | Where were they going besides to that crazy fellow''s island?" |
| 25802 | Where''s Mr. Hammond-- or Willie?" |
| 25802 | Why did n''t he come? |
| 25802 | Why did n''t he say so? |
| 25802 | Why should not Ruth and Chessleigh spy about among the islands for a time? |
| 25802 | Why''King of the Pipes''?" |
| 25802 | Why? |
| 25802 | Wonota almost worshiped her father; but did she ever look upon Chief Totantora with a smile of pride or with affection beaming in her eyes? |
| 25802 | Yet, I''ve a glimmer of an idea-- Are you sure that was a woman with them to- day in their boat?" |
| 25802 | You understand?" |
| 25802 | You-- you are not ill?" |
| 25802 | do you realize that we are marooned?" |
| 25802 | exclaimed Helen,"the King of the Pipes is n''t in that boat, is he?" |
| 25802 | exclaimed Ruth again, and as Helen brought her machine to an abrupt stop Aunt Alvirah was heard saying:"Now, ai n''t that reediculous? |
| 25802 | gasped Helen,"she''s talking of that Bilby, is n''t she?" |
| 25802 | gasped Ruth,"are you going to be foolish enough to refuse to be taken off this island by Chessleigh Copley?" |
| 25802 | if you do n''t care anything about him, why are you so anxious to have me change my opinion of''Lasses?" |
| 25802 | is n''t he ever going to grow up?" |
| 25802 | is that the time, Tommy- boy? |
| 25802 | it looks like----""Who is it?" |
| 25802 | she cried cheerfully,"are you sitting out this dance too? |
| 25802 | what are you worrying about?" |
| 23116 | A doctor? |
| 23116 | A whole edition, Miss? 23116 A''home''?" |
| 23116 | A_ real_ hermit? |
| 23116 | A_ what_? |
| 23116 | About what? |
| 23116 | Ai n''t she a noticing child? |
| 23116 | And air ye all loose from some bat factory? 23116 And how do you know so much?" |
| 23116 | And is he a hermit for revenue only, too? |
| 23116 | And our Ruth,drawled Jennie,"is going to prescribe one of her famous cure- alls, is she?" |
| 23116 | And send her to Briarwood? |
| 23116 | And somebody unknown stole it? |
| 23116 | And the man you left in your place? 23116 And the pen?" |
| 23116 | And what is to be on that new leaf? |
| 23116 | And who''s the joke on? |
| 23116 | And_ now_? |
| 23116 | And_ then_? |
| 23116 | Are you acquainted with somebody who works here? |
| 23116 | Are you all game? |
| 23116 | Are you cold, dear? |
| 23116 | Are you going to adopt her? |
| 23116 | Are you trying to get it away from me for less than you offered? |
| 23116 | As the hornet? |
| 23116 | At the minister''s? |
| 23116 | Be you crazy, too? 23116 But Parloe did not leave his team and go down to the summer- house, did he?" |
| 23116 | But ai n''t it_ so_? |
| 23116 | But how can one be jolly if one does not feel jolly? |
| 23116 | But that hermit is n''t quite right in his head, is he? |
| 23116 | But that poor creature I followed up here, Mr. Paul? 23116 But who?" |
| 23116 | But why did you come here? |
| 23116 | But you can fix it, Tom? |
| 23116 | But you said you liked it? |
| 23116 | But-- but do n''t you believe me? |
| 23116 | But-- but how could this old man have stolen your work-- and away back there at the Red Mill? 23116 Can it be possible that your uncle or Ben saw the things here and rescued them just before the storm burst?" |
| 23116 | Can you start the engine on the reverse, Miss? |
| 23116 | Could anybody have done it for a joke? |
| 23116 | Could that fountain pen have been carried away by the windstorm, too? |
| 23116 | Did n''t you find out last night? |
| 23116 | Did you ever write a scenario before? |
| 23116 | Did you live there on the point? |
| 23116 | Did you look at this? |
| 23116 | Did you see anybody go down that way? |
| 23116 | Did you see your ghost through the window here? |
| 23116 | Do n''t you see it is going to rain? 23116 Do n''t you see that he is playing a part? |
| 23116 | Do you expect him to return here for you? |
| 23116 | Do you mean to say this is in the play? |
| 23116 | Do you really think that man is crazy? |
| 23116 | Do you suppose the clergyman would take the child? |
| 23116 | Do you think it will be a real storm? |
| 23116 | Does he know how your aunt treats you? |
| 23116 | Does it matter what I believe? |
| 23116 | Fairy gasoline? |
| 23116 | Have you any idea who would have taken it? |
| 23116 | Have you no idea where he went, Ben? |
| 23116 | How about a chaperon? |
| 23116 | How are you going to prove what you say is true? |
| 23116 | How can I do that? |
| 23116 | How can you, Ruth? |
| 23116 | How dare you slur your own sex so? |
| 23116 | How did you come to live there first? |
| 23116 | How do you feel, Henri? 23116 How long have you lived over there on the point, John?" |
| 23116 | How many air there of ye, Sissy? |
| 23116 | How will you do it, Ruth? |
| 23116 | How''s that, Miss? |
| 23116 | However, you need not give all your attention to these prize stories, need you? 23116 I can be an old maid and still like the boys, ca n''t I? |
| 23116 | I may not be a perfect thirty- six----"Is there any doubt of it? |
| 23116 | I wonder? |
| 23116 | I''d like to know what you people think you''re doing? |
| 23116 | I''m alive, ai n''t I? |
| 23116 | I''m awfully sorry----"Does that help? |
| 23116 | Including spiders, snakes, beetles and babies, I suppose? |
| 23116 | Indeed? |
| 23116 | Indeed? |
| 23116 | Is auntie letting you read her story, Ruth? |
| 23116 | Is it the custom to do so when the enemy, he arrive? |
| 23116 | Is n''t he cute? |
| 23116 | Is n''t she mean? |
| 23116 | Is she ill? |
| 23116 | Is she running away? |
| 23116 | Is that_ all_ they were? |
| 23116 | Is there nobody you know here, child, whom you would like to stay with till your father returns? |
| 23116 | Is this the Alectrion Film Company? |
| 23116 | Is this the moving picture camp, Mister? |
| 23116 | Is-- is that the ghost, Jennie? |
| 23116 | Mr. Hasbrouck? 23116 No? |
| 23116 | Nor send for you? |
| 23116 | Not from Captain Cameron? |
| 23116 | Now, what is it you want me to print in one paper for you? |
| 23116 | Oh, did you see her? |
| 23116 | Or do you speak compliments? |
| 23116 | Or, mebbe_ you_ ai n''t loony, lady? |
| 23116 | Out o''gasoline, heh? 23116 Prove it?" |
| 23116 | See him sitting on the rock before the door of his cabin? |
| 23116 | See that hard strip of beach? 23116 She has put herself into the so- tight corner-- no?" |
| 23116 | She is a regular Cheerful Grig again, is n''t she? |
| 23116 | So your name is something- or- other- Fitzmaurice Pike? |
| 23116 | Some poor, miserable loafer, is he? |
| 23116 | Stolen? |
| 23116 | Suppose something happened to you on the road? |
| 23116 | Suppose something happened to_ us_ here in the auto? |
| 23116 | Suppose,demanded Ruth quickly,"this thief that has got my manuscript should offer it to some producer? |
| 23116 | Tell me,she said, while the others examined the curios the hermit had for sale,"what kind of man is this you left in your house? |
| 23116 | That Whosis? |
| 23116 | That gold pen, Ruthie? 23116 The new story? |
| 23116 | Then how in tarnation,demanded the bearded man,"do you explain your wanderin''about these woods in this storm?" |
| 23116 | Then, which breed of thief stole my scenario, Tom? |
| 23116 | This is a puzzle, eh? |
| 23116 | This is to be on the q.t.? |
| 23116 | To you and Uncle Jabez? |
| 23116 | Towards Ridgeton? 23116 Want to go back to the port, Miss Ruth?" |
| 23116 | Want to look at them? |
| 23116 | Want to read it over? |
| 23116 | We are stalled until Captain Tom comes back with the gasoline-- is it not? |
| 23116 | We''d better set up an auction block before the door of the hotel and auction her off to the highest bidder, had n''t we? |
| 23116 | Well, a thief is almost the meanest person there is in the world, do n''t you think so? 23116 Wha-- what''s the matter, Ruthie?" |
| 23116 | What are you traveling on? |
| 23116 | What d''you think it says here? |
| 23116 | What do you know about such people, Tommy? |
| 23116 | What do you know about this? |
| 23116 | What do you know about_ that_? |
| 23116 | What do you mean by that? |
| 23116 | What do you mean? |
| 23116 | What do you suggest? |
| 23116 | What happened, Colonel? |
| 23116 | What has gone so wrong? |
| 23116 | What have you lost? |
| 23116 | What is it doing outside? |
| 23116 | What is it, Tom? |
| 23116 | What is it? 23116 What is it?" |
| 23116 | What is it? |
| 23116 | What is it? |
| 23116 | What is that to you? |
| 23116 | What is the joke? 23116 What is the matter with you?" |
| 23116 | What is your name, my dear? |
| 23116 | What say to a moonlight dip off the Point? |
| 23116 | What under the canopy is this here? |
| 23116 | What will we do, crazy? |
| 23116 | What? |
| 23116 | What? |
| 23116 | What_ is_ it? |
| 23116 | What_ is_ the matter, Heavy? |
| 23116 | What_ is_ the matter, Ruth? |
| 23116 | Where are your friends? 23116 Where did he go, Ben?" |
| 23116 | Where did she go? |
| 23116 | Where did you get the idea for that scenario? |
| 23116 | Where do you go in the winter, John? |
| 23116 | Where do you live? |
| 23116 | Where is that? |
| 23116 | Where is the proprietor of this hotel, boy? |
| 23116 | Where is your father, Bella? |
| 23116 | Which way did he go, Ma''am? |
| 23116 | Who is it you wish to see? |
| 23116 | Who is the hermit? |
| 23116 | Why could n''t the papers and note books have been caught up by a gust of wind and carried into the river? |
| 23116 | Why do you want to go to live with the minister? |
| 23116 | Why so? |
| 23116 | Why? |
| 23116 | You are quite sudden, are n''t you? 23116 You came to see somebody?" |
| 23116 | You did not have any help about it? 23116 You do n''t mean it, Ruth?" |
| 23116 | You liked it when he was so unsuccessful? |
| 23116 | You mean Mr. Drovers? 23116 You run that-- that department there every week?" |
| 23116 | You say she ai n''t nothin''to you folks? |
| 23116 | You''ve changed your mind----"Is n''t that a girl''s privilege? |
| 23116 | Your father is-- er-- what is his business? |
| 23116 | A girl growed like you running''round in men''s overalls-- or, what be them things you got on?" |
| 23116 | Ai n''t it enough to give one their nevergitovers to see you here?" |
| 23116 | And the beds turned down? |
| 23116 | And the gold- mounted fountain pen? |
| 23116 | And then----"Who ever saw ghosts carrying garbage cans before?" |
| 23116 | And to a child like you?" |
| 23116 | And where did you come from, if I may ask? |
| 23116 | And who could help liking him? |
| 23116 | And who is he?" |
| 23116 | And without being sure that such a supply of gas could be found within that distance, why separate the two cars? |
| 23116 | As crazy as the old codger himself?" |
| 23116 | Be I so scareful to look at?" |
| 23116 | But ca n''t you stop the production of the picture?" |
| 23116 | But my child is growing up----""Would you want her to grow up to know that her father is a thief?" |
| 23116 | But these stories?" |
| 23116 | But where did she come from? |
| 23116 | But where is the thief around the Red Mill?" |
| 23116 | But your other name?" |
| 23116 | But, you see, they ai n''t like pa.""Did your father bring you here?" |
| 23116 | CHAPTER III THE DERELICT"Did n''t you find anything, Tom?" |
| 23116 | CHAPTER XV AN AMAZING SITUATION"''Ghost''?" |
| 23116 | Could somebody have taken them all?" |
| 23116 | Did n''t the_ poilus_ call you the jolly American? |
| 23116 | Did you read the finished manuscript-- or any part of it-- to any person who can corroborate your statements?" |
| 23116 | Do n''t Helen look fine, Ruth? |
| 23116 | Do n''t you reckon she''s loony?" |
| 23116 | Do n''t you think so?" |
| 23116 | Do you know how wicked I am?" |
| 23116 | Do you suppose he has seen anybody?" |
| 23116 | Had it really been a rustling in the vines she had heard? |
| 23116 | Had she allowed her mind to dwell on her loss until she was quite unaccountable for her mental decisions? |
| 23116 | Had she deceived herself about this hermit''s story? |
| 23116 | Hammond?" |
| 23116 | Hammond?" |
| 23116 | Have you got a pair of glasses?" |
| 23116 | Helen peered over her chum''s shoulder and in teeth- chattering monotone breathed in Ruth''s ear the query:"What is it?" |
| 23116 | Here? |
| 23116 | How about it, Ruth? |
| 23116 | How did you guess it?" |
| 23116 | How''s the shoulder?" |
| 23116 | How- do, Miss Fielding? |
| 23116 | I did not bargain for this rough stuff, did you? |
| 23116 | I guess you know who_ he_ is?" |
| 23116 | I guess you think a good deal of your father?" |
| 23116 | I had begged the ladies to dress just as they would were they going to an actual meeting of their sewing society----""And they all dressed up?" |
| 23116 | I had it all just about as I wanted it, and then----""Then what?" |
| 23116 | I have n''t seen your father here, have I?" |
| 23116 | I tell you, Tom, I had_ such_ a good idea----""And you''ve got the idea yet, have n''t you? |
| 23116 | Is it a movie story?" |
| 23116 | Is n''t that where you are stopping?" |
| 23116 | Is she a woman grown, or a child?" |
| 23116 | Is the pitchers filled? |
| 23116 | Is there a part in that''Idyl''story for me?" |
| 23116 | Is this a joke?" |
| 23116 | Is this a joke?" |
| 23116 | It does look a good deal of an ark, does n''t it?" |
| 23116 | It''s going to be rather tame, is n''t it?" |
| 23116 | Jackman, the property man( you remember Jacks, do n''t you, Ruth? |
| 23116 | Mr. Hammond had a fine pair of opera glasses, and he produced them from his desk while he asked:"What kind of boat is it, Maxwell?" |
| 23116 | Of course, Mrs. Perkins and the doctor''s wife have no idea where you have gone?" |
| 23116 | Or was it? |
| 23116 | Remember the campus ghost back at old Briarwood, Helen? |
| 23116 | See his horizon- blue sleeve steal about her? |
| 23116 | Seen any tramps lately?" |
| 23116 | Shall we start off in the cars again and seek pastures new?" |
| 23116 | She flushed when she said:"Why should n''t he submit one?" |
| 23116 | She''s lost it, ai n''t she? |
| 23116 | So why worry about the pleasure- craft''s balance and her ability to sail the high seas? |
| 23116 | Suppose she was quite wrong about that scenario the hermit had submitted to Mr. Hammond? |
| 23116 | Surely you have heard the name?" |
| 23116 | Was it a fact that she had allowed her loss to unbalance-- well, her judgment? |
| 23116 | Was it likely that anybody else, writing a picture, would use just that phrase? |
| 23116 | Was there somebody lurking about the summer- house? |
| 23116 | Was there somebody up there in the wet woods-- some human creature lost in the storm? |
| 23116 | We was talkin''about cats, warn''t we?" |
| 23116 | What can be the matter with her?" |
| 23116 | What did you think of it, Miss Ruth?" |
| 23116 | What do you know about that?" |
| 23116 | What do you suppose it is like, Ruth?" |
| 23116 | What happened?" |
| 23116 | What in all git out be you traipsing through these woods for in the rain?" |
| 23116 | What is it? |
| 23116 | What is it?" |
| 23116 | Where are you?" |
| 23116 | Where do we camp to- night, Tommy?" |
| 23116 | Where do you suppose the poor thing has gone?" |
| 23116 | Where is your house on the point?" |
| 23116 | Which supposition was the more improbable? |
| 23116 | Who are you looking for?" |
| 23116 | Who could be wandering about the camp at this grim hour of the night? |
| 23116 | Who could it be? |
| 23116 | Who did you tell about your plot, and how you worked it out? |
| 23116 | Who has been around here to- day? |
| 23116 | Who is he?" |
| 23116 | Who is your father, child?" |
| 23116 | Who''d have thought it?" |
| 23116 | Will you write to Jennie Stone?" |
| 23116 | Wo n''t he be astonished?" |
| 23116 | Yet, if this paper was a connecting link between her stolen manuscript and the thief,_ who was the thief_? |
| 23116 | You are quite sure you have a good story here, are you?" |
| 23116 | You folks ai n''t stoppin''right on the p''int, be ye?" |
| 23116 | You originated the idea of''Plain Mary?''" |
| 23116 | You wo n''t put me in no home, will you?" |
| 23116 | You''ve a good opinion of your story, have n''t you?" |
| 23116 | You-- you''ve let your mind dwell upon your loss so much----""Do you think I am crazy?" |
| 23116 | do n''t you know whether he went toward Cheslow-- or where?" |
| 23116 | ejaculated Tom, impatiently,"have n''t you seen any tramp, or straggler, or Gypsy-- or anybody like that?" |
| 23116 | what has happened?" |
| 23116 | what is it?" |
| 23116 | who are you?" |
| 23116 | wo n''t you be glad to get back to the grind again?" |
| 23116 | you do but stretch the point, eh?" |
| 20834 | A hotel? 20834 About Tom?" |
| 20834 | Ah, naughty one,she murmured,"would you run the fields like a wild dog? |
| 20834 | Ah? 20834 All ready for us, Tremp?" |
| 20834 | Am I fon- nay? |
| 20834 | Am I not all right? |
| 20834 | Am I to remove my skirts? |
| 20834 | And I suppose you can get word to him so he''ll know Jennie and I are here? |
| 20834 | And he lives at the castle over there in Germany-- openly? |
| 20834 | And the lady''s? |
| 20834 | And what plans have you already made for Fraulein Ruth? |
| 20834 | And what thanks do I get? |
| 20834 | And where is Captain von Brenner? |
| 20834 | And who would want better thanks than money? |
| 20834 | Another disguise? |
| 20834 | Are n''t they going to stop pretty soon? |
| 20834 | Are n''t you coming, Charlie Bragg? |
| 20834 | Are the Americans making her leave her home? |
| 20834 | Are you crazy, Charlie Bragg? |
| 20834 | Are you dumb? |
| 20834 | Are you going to do as you are told? |
| 20834 | Are you hungry, Miss Ruth? |
| 20834 | Be you the new lady Charlie Bra- a- agg brought over last night? |
| 20834 | Believe what? |
| 20834 | Boches know we fellows have to use it----"You mean the ambulances? |
| 20834 | But I am much engaged in our hospital work-- and you are not likely to be brought there, are you? |
| 20834 | But Major Henri goes back and forth, along the front, both by flying machine and in other ways? |
| 20834 | But Tom-- Lieutenant Cameron? 20834 But how can the dog get across No Man''s Land?" |
| 20834 | But how is it that this Mother Gervaise, as you call her, is not afraid to stay here? |
| 20834 | But is the hospital you are taking me to exactly at the front? |
| 20834 | But the third man? 20834 But will the attack come?" |
| 20834 | But, Doctor Monteith, who are in this district save our soldiers and the French inhabitants? |
| 20834 | But? |
| 20834 | Can it not be crossed by boat? |
| 20834 | Can_ you_ believe Tom Cameron would do such a wicked thing as this they accuse him of? |
| 20834 | Canine spy? |
| 20834 | Captain von Brenner? |
| 20834 | Captured? |
| 20834 | Could it not be that he forgot the second time you saw him? |
| 20834 | Count Allaire? |
| 20834 | Did I see whom, you funny Henriette? |
| 20834 | Did she tell you about that? |
| 20834 | Did you meet him? 20834 Did you see him?" |
| 20834 | Do I offend? |
| 20834 | Do n''t you get dreadfully tired of all these awful sights and sounds? |
| 20834 | Do n''t you know that if the Boches get you, they get you, and that''s all there is to it? 20834 Do n''t you know yet that we are in this war, Helen Cameron?" |
| 20834 | Do n''t you think she should have moved long ago? |
| 20834 | Do these countrymen of yours intend to let the Boches overrun our country again? 20834 Do you believe that story they tell about one of our young officers having gone over to the enemy?" |
| 20834 | Do you know what the farmers say of our so- good dog? |
| 20834 | Do you mean that the Germans have bombed it? |
| 20834 | Do you mean to say this_ is_ near the battle line? |
| 20834 | Got shelter for a couple of babes in the woods? 20834 Have_ what_ stopped?" |
| 20834 | He can ask off and come to see us, ca n''t he? |
| 20834 | He is a prisoner at the house up yonder, yes? |
| 20834 | He is missing? 20834 He is not at home, is he, Dolge?" |
| 20834 | He is safely engaged in Paris, is he not? |
| 20834 | He, at least, was on the battle front? |
| 20834 | His brother, too----"Is Count Allaire like his brother? |
| 20834 | How about the forty francs she was given in lieu of the pullets? |
| 20834 | How can we get through the German trenches if they are already filled with the shock troops that will be sent over following the barrage? |
| 20834 | How did you come to get here-- and where under the sun will you stay? |
| 20834 | How is Aunt Abelard? |
| 20834 | How is Tommy- boy? |
| 20834 | I have never seen a picture of the count, have I? |
| 20834 | I presume we have to go through all the difficulties we did last night, Major? |
| 20834 | If we are halted you know what to say? |
| 20834 | If we were not at war with Germany, do you think I would be away from Ardmore College at this time of year? |
| 20834 | In that message Bubu brought? |
| 20834 | Indeed? 20834 Is everybody suspected of spying? |
| 20834 | Is it all right, Ruth? |
| 20834 | Is it only curiosity that troubles you, Mademoiselle? |
| 20834 | Is it open country? |
| 20834 | Is it thou, my Henri? |
| 20834 | Is n''t it so? 20834 Is that----?" |
| 20834 | Like these_ ambulanciers_? 20834 Like you in every way, Madame? |
| 20834 | Mademoiselle? |
| 20834 | May I greet you? |
| 20834 | No? 20834 Not Tom?" |
| 20834 | Not the spy? |
| 20834 | Not to be frightened by what has happened here already? |
| 20834 | Of course she will come here? |
| 20834 | Of what use would that be to her had she remained and there should come the bombardment that everybody says is coming? 20834 Oh, can we not do anything for her?" |
| 20834 | Oh, that? 20834 Oh, what will they do to poor Tom if they are sure he is a spy?" |
| 20834 | Oh---- But what can I say? 20834 One of the family, as you might say? |
| 20834 | Part of the way to where? |
| 20834 | Really? |
| 20834 | Shall we be quite exposed? |
| 20834 | So you take a friend to- night, do you, Major? |
| 20834 | Some little hero, is he? |
| 20834 | Somebody must go and why not I? 20834 That was most unexpected, was it not, Mademoiselle? |
| 20834 | The mademoiselle is_ Americaine_? |
| 20834 | The message is from Count Marchand? |
| 20834 | The sudden activity along this front must be significant, do n''t you think, Mademoiselle Fielding? |
| 20834 | The time that Major Henri flew away? |
| 20834 | The time, Dolge? |
| 20834 | The water? |
| 20834 | Then am I not nice? |
| 20834 | Then why give it to me? |
| 20834 | Then you have always lived here? 20834 Then, how am I to get through?" |
| 20834 | Tom Cameron? |
| 20834 | Trying to make me a quitter, are you? |
| 20834 | Unless the Boches succeed in raiding Paris from the air he is not likely to get hurt at all-- this Major Marchand? |
| 20834 | Was he killed? |
| 20834 | Was it really you who dropped the paper bomb at my feet? |
| 20834 | We are going toward the front now? 20834 We do what the Anglais call-- how is it?--''our little bit''? |
| 20834 | We expect such sad happenings, do we not? |
| 20834 | We grow used to almost everything, do we not? |
| 20834 | Well, but do n''t you see him every day or two? |
| 20834 | Well? |
| 20834 | What are those guns? |
| 20834 | What did I tell you? |
| 20834 | What do they do with him now? |
| 20834 | What do you know about it, Ruth Fielding? 20834 What do you mean?" |
| 20834 | What has happened? |
| 20834 | What in the world can that be? |
| 20834 | What is it you want of your poor slaves, Lady Ruth? |
| 20834 | What is it, Major Marchand? |
| 20834 | What is it? |
| 20834 | What is it? |
| 20834 | What is it? |
| 20834 | What is the matter? |
| 20834 | What it the matter with you? |
| 20834 | What under the sun are you laughing at, Ruth Fielding? |
| 20834 | What, then? |
| 20834 | What---- He is not_ hurt_? |
| 20834 | What? |
| 20834 | What? |
| 20834 | Where are we? |
| 20834 | Where are we? |
| 20834 | Where did he find it? |
| 20834 | Where else can she go? |
| 20834 | Where is Tom? 20834 Where_ have_ you been?" |
| 20834 | Who disappeared? |
| 20834 | Who is Mother Gervaise? |
| 20834 | Who is he? |
| 20834 | Who is that Nicko converses with? |
| 20834 | Whom have we here? |
| 20834 | Why not,_ mon ami_? |
| 20834 | Why? |
| 20834 | Will that be possible? |
| 20834 | Will you fast then, while you remain at Clair? |
| 20834 | Will your father go after her in the automobile? |
| 20834 | Yes, Monsieur? |
| 20834 | You are not frightened, Miss Fielding? |
| 20834 | You came through it, did n''t you? |
| 20834 | You have questions to ask me,_ hein_? |
| 20834 | You have relet my rooms? |
| 20834 | You have your papers, Captain? |
| 20834 | You know that Devil Corner Charlie Bragg drove you past the other night? 20834 You know that, do n''t you?" |
| 20834 | You received a certain message? |
| 20834 | You understand, from my message by Bubu, Allaire, for what reason the lady has taken this arduous journey, do you not? |
| 20834 | You understand? 20834 You understand?" |
| 20834 | You''re not''spoofing me,''as our British brothers put it? |
| 20834 | Your brother? |
| 20834 | Your romantic imagination is ever on tap, is n''t it, Heavy? |
| 20834 | _ Have n''t I_? |
| 20834 | _ Ja_? 20834 _ You_, Mademoiselle?" |
| 20834 | After another minute of jouncing about in the furiously driven ambulance, the girl continued her questioning:"What am I to do first?" |
| 20834 | Again, how did he know she was worried about him? |
| 20834 | Ai n''t war what General Sherman said it was-- and then some?" |
| 20834 | An American?" |
| 20834 | An auto- car for hire? |
| 20834 | And as for selling out to the Boches----""What_ do_ you mean?" |
| 20834 | And at what part of the line can we cross?" |
| 20834 | And his brother who, it was said, had run away? |
| 20834 | And how-- and how-- and how----? |
| 20834 | And if so, what was his interest in the German officer who had so suddenly died in the field hospital-- the occupant of Cot 24, Hut H? |
| 20834 | And mademoiselle is of the_ Croix Rouge_, is it not?" |
| 20834 | And where was Count Allaire now? |
| 20834 | And would you believe it?" |
| 20834 | And yet-- did it mean anything? |
| 20834 | Are we near?" |
| 20834 | Are you really wedded?" |
| 20834 | But how about me? |
| 20834 | But how did you ever get permission to come here?" |
| 20834 | But why should those men be afraid to speak of him?" |
| 20834 | But, then, what friends had Tom in this sector of the battle front save his military associates and Ruth Fielding? |
| 20834 | CHAPTER VII WHERE IS TOM CAMERON? |
| 20834 | CHAPTER XVII THE WORST IS TOLD"But, Major Marchand? |
| 20834 | Can I send the orderlies with the schedule soon?" |
| 20834 | Can you go on again?" |
| 20834 | Can you read it?" |
| 20834 | Can you show me that cottage-- Nicko''s dwelling? |
| 20834 | Could she turn suspicion toward the son of her good friend, the countess? |
| 20834 | Could that disguised man have been the major? |
| 20834 | Could there be some person who so resembled the countess''younger son? |
| 20834 | Did n''t you know we had a German officer with us? |
| 20834 | Did n''t_ you_?" |
| 20834 | Did you get word to him?" |
| 20834 | Did you know that Lieutenant Cameron was working with the Count Marchand in Germany?" |
| 20834 | Did you sleep?" |
| 20834 | Do my eyes deceive me? |
| 20834 | Do you expect to leave Clair soon?" |
| 20834 | Do you think I am a squealer?" |
| 20834 | Do you think it is a Boche dugout you charge when you come to Mother Gervaise?" |
| 20834 | Do you want to drive me wild?" |
| 20834 | Does freedom breed traitors, I wonder?" |
| 20834 | Even before the war?" |
| 20834 | For the very reason the trip is dangerous, you would n''t want me to put it off on somebody else, would you?" |
| 20834 | Given so entirely to the service of their country?" |
| 20834 | Had Tom been a prisoner in the hands of the Huns, would spies have brought this word from him to her? |
| 20834 | Had he saluted the uniform, or was Major Marchand a very important personage? |
| 20834 | Had she been spied by the men in the garden, and was one of them following her? |
| 20834 | Had she called Lafrane to the front for nothing at all? |
| 20834 | Had she really been stirring up a mare''s nest? |
| 20834 | Has the older son fallen in battle?" |
| 20834 | Have n''t heard from Cameron, have you?" |
| 20834 | Have n''t you heard a word?" |
| 20834 | Have n''t_ you_ earned a furlough yet?" |
| 20834 | Have you a brave heart, Mademoiselle?" |
| 20834 | He said crisply and in excellent English:"Mademoiselle has need of me?" |
| 20834 | He''s not_ dead_?" |
| 20834 | How could a girl ever get through the jungle of barbed wire? |
| 20834 | How did you get here?" |
| 20834 | How did you get your passports visà © ed for such a distance from Paris?" |
| 20834 | How do you know?" |
| 20834 | How many hundreds of times had he made similar runs? |
| 20834 | I am not to be made into sausage- meat, I hope?" |
| 20834 | I do not know just when I shall be called for----""By whom, pray?" |
| 20834 | If dropped by Major Marchand, how had he obtained it? |
| 20834 | If it were, do n''t you suppose I would take you both into my confidence?" |
| 20834 | If she could remain there throughout the German invasion, and was undisturbed by our own army, why should these Americans plague her?" |
| 20834 | If there is any possibility of her remaining without being in danger----""What danger?" |
| 20834 | If these other earnest girls and women could stand such rough experiences why not she? |
| 20834 | In Clair?" |
| 20834 | Indeed, would the censor let such news pass? |
| 20834 | Is he on duty with you?" |
| 20834 | Is it a general advance, Monsieur?" |
| 20834 | Is it not possible for you to return to the hotel by dinner time? |
| 20834 | Is it not?" |
| 20834 | Is it that wicked Bubu, running wild and free again?" |
| 20834 | Is it the Red Indian blood in them, think you, that makes them so proficient in scouting?" |
| 20834 | Is n''t that what you do, Ruthie?" |
| 20834 | Is n''t there a hotel?" |
| 20834 | Is n''t there anybody else, Miss Ruth?" |
| 20834 | Is she that much of a miser?" |
| 20834 | Is that Major Marchand?" |
| 20834 | Is that what you mean?" |
| 20834 | Is-- is there any news?" |
| 20834 | My poor friend, Nicko( perhaps you saw him at the field hospital to which you were assigned for a week? |
| 20834 | One finally said:"You must be the lady at the Clair Hospital-- Miss Fielding? |
| 20834 | Or is it General Disorder? |
| 20834 | Probably a prisoner of the Germans?" |
| 20834 | Ruth gathered together all her courage and asked:"Do you know anything about Tom Cameron?" |
| 20834 | Ruth shook her head and asked:"Where are you taking me? |
| 20834 | Ruth wondered what would happen to them if they were caught by an American patrol? |
| 20834 | See them?" |
| 20834 | She heard Jennie Stone exclaim in utter amazement:"Well, what_ do_ you think of that? |
| 20834 | She managed to ask:"Is the car all right again, Charlie?" |
| 20834 | Should she bring Major Henri Marchand into the matter? |
| 20834 | Should she tell Monsieur Lafrane of her suspicion that this officer of the French army was the man whom she thought was Nicko''s double? |
| 20834 | Should she tell them? |
| 20834 | Should she write to Helen in Paris, or to his father in America, of the mystery? |
| 20834 | Suppose she should picture her adventure to them-- just as it had happened? |
| 20834 | Suppose she told them of her long journey with the French major across No Man''s Land? |
| 20834 | Suppose the Boches sent another shell hurtling to this spot? |
| 20834 | The sudden activity on the front must portend some important movement, or why should so many flying machines be drawn toward this sector? |
| 20834 | Then, with a start, she exclaimed:"What is this? |
| 20834 | They-- they have n''t found him?" |
| 20834 | WHERE IS TOM CAMERON? |
| 20834 | Was it for the whine of the shells that sometimes came over the ridge and dropped perilously near the hospital? |
| 20834 | Was there not something significant in the two facts? |
| 20834 | Was there something wrong with Nicko, the chocolate peddler? |
| 20834 | Were they German spies? |
| 20834 | What could really have happened to him? |
| 20834 | What did I tell you, Helen? |
| 20834 | What did the French officer, whose loyalty she doubted, have to do with Tom Cameron, whose loyalty she never for a moment doubted? |
| 20834 | What do you mean, Charlie Bragg?" |
| 20834 | What lay for her in that No Man''s Land of which she had heard so much? |
| 20834 | What of him?" |
| 20834 | What of him?" |
| 20834 | What would Helen and Jennie say if they could see her in this brand of millinery? |
| 20834 | What would these, her two closest girl friends, say or think, if they knew what she had been through during the past thirty- six hours? |
| 20834 | What''ll Tom Cameron say?" |
| 20834 | Where did the major fly to? |
| 20834 | Where was Tom? |
| 20834 | Who else could it be? |
| 20834 | Who else could the mysterious man be? |
| 20834 | Who goes there?" |
| 20834 | Who is this lady?" |
| 20834 | Who sends the messages from beyond the German lines? |
| 20834 | Who was I supposed to see? |
| 20834 | Who were those two flying men? |
| 20834 | Why should Tom Cameron''s own associates act so oddly when his name was mentioned? |
| 20834 | Why should the Yankees expect better treatment from the Huns? |
| 20834 | Will you girls tell me what under the sun you have come here for? |
| 20834 | Would you butcher me, you of bloody mind?" |
| 20834 | Yes? |
| 20834 | Yet, if he was a captive, how had he been able to send her this message? |
| 20834 | You are hungry, my dear boy?" |
| 20834 | You are not_ mad_ with him?" |
| 20834 | You are, of course, acquainted with Lieutenant Cameron?" |
| 20834 | You do not mean----?" |
| 20834 | You have not breakfasted, I imagine? |
| 20834 | You remember our petite Hetty, of course? |
| 20834 | You remember, Mademoiselle Ruth? |
| 20834 | You see how the messages are sent?" |
| 20834 | You understand, do you not? |
| 20834 | You understand? |
| 20834 | You understand? |
| 20834 | You will sup, Mademoiselle, yes?" |
| 20834 | You''ve never been to the front, have you?" |
| 20834 | could you not speak to some of your gr- r- reat, gr- r- reat, brave American officers and have it stopped?" |
| 20834 | exclaimed the old lady,"do you not_ know_?" |
| 20834 | have I brought you here for nothing? |
| 20834 | is n''t it so?" |
| 20834 | is n''t there anybody at all who can go with those supplies they''re in need of but you, Miss Ruth?" |
| 20834 | she demanded decisively,"can you see?" |
| 20834 | you wo n''t go, Mademoiselle Ruth?" |
| 26613 | ''Oft in the stilly night''----Or is it''Oft in the silly night''? |
| 26613 | About what? |
| 26613 | About what? |
| 26613 | Ai n''t it the_ trewth_? |
| 26613 | Ai n''t lost any of that money, have ye? |
| 26613 | All in the dark? 26613 Am I not?" |
| 26613 | Am I so funny to look at? |
| 26613 | An animal? |
| 26613 | And another thing,Ruth went on to say, as she and her chum reached the level of the frozen lake,"did you notice that pick handle?" |
| 26613 | And did that girl have to come up here--_and in the dark_? |
| 26613 | And did you have to come out here to see if I were your friend? |
| 26613 | And how are you to- night, Miss Stone? 26613 And if it is true of the senior shell, how much more so of our own? |
| 26613 | And now that we are at this island, would you mind telling us where the Stone Face is situated? |
| 26613 | And scamp our study hour? |
| 26613 | And was so nasty to Hazel Gray? 26613 And we saw your light----""My_ what_?" |
| 26613 | And what happened when she came to Ardmore? |
| 26613 | And who ai n''t, I''d like to know? |
| 26613 | And who told you about the Stone Face, Freshie? |
| 26613 | And who''d want to? |
| 26613 | And why do n''t I? |
| 26613 | And why do n''t you let your mind broaden and get the best there is to be had at Ardmore? |
| 26613 | And you wo n''t be afraid that I''ll crib the answers, Miss Cullam? |
| 26613 | And you''re not the canned drama authoress? |
| 26613 | And_ you_, Jennie? |
| 26613 | Are n''t we allowed to run our own class affairs here? |
| 26613 | Are you called Ruth? |
| 26613 | At Lighthouse Point? 26613 Back where?" |
| 26613 | Beginning that strenuous life that is to reduce your weight, Heavy? |
| 26613 | But all the folks went last night, and this morning I was going across the river with my bag-- oh, did you find my bag, Miss? |
| 26613 | But did n''t you see this visitor? |
| 26613 | But if it were Tom? |
| 26613 | But we all have our little troubles, do n''t we, Miss Cullam? |
| 26613 | But what became of the poor girl? |
| 26613 | But what''s goin''to become of the gal? |
| 26613 | But, Rebecca----"Why did I do it? |
| 26613 | But, say,began Helen, slowly,"where are all the frocks and things she was supposed to bring with her? |
| 26613 | Campers on the island in a snow storm? 26613 Can somebody believe that this is one of the hiding places of Captain Kidd''s gold? |
| 26613 | Did I see what? |
| 26613 | Did n''t Miss Cullam go wailing all over the college about it? |
| 26613 | Did n''t you ever see a good- looking girl before? |
| 26613 | Did n''t you see''The Heart of a Schoolgirl''she wrote? 26613 Did she really have to come here, and_ alone_, when she was initiated?" |
| 26613 | Did you say your name was Ruth Fielding? |
| 26613 | Did you see that? |
| 26613 | Did you think them filled with frocks and furbelows? 26613 Do I know her?" |
| 26613 | Do n''t you consider your time well spent here, my dear chum? |
| 26613 | Do n''t you remember this girl, Helen? |
| 26613 | Do n''t you suppose she has read the notice? |
| 26613 | Do you both come from a boarding school? |
| 26613 | Do you feel as much at home already as_ that_? |
| 26613 | Do you know it is snowing? |
| 26613 | Do you know that I am a senior? |
| 26613 | Do you know what I think about it, Ruthie? |
| 26613 | Do you know what''s happened, girls? |
| 26613 | Do you know what_ I_ should do? |
| 26613 | Do you know who had this room last year? |
| 26613 | Do you know, sometimes I am almost discouraged? |
| 26613 | Do you know,the girl of the Red Mill said reflectively,"these old things are awfully interesting, Becky?" |
| 26613 | Do you remember that girl we saw on the island this afternoon? |
| 26613 | Do you see the terrible suspicion that has been eating at my mind ever since? 26613 Do you see_ that_?" |
| 26613 | Do you suppose she is one of those stubborn girls who just''wo n''t be driv''? |
| 26613 | Do you suppose they will haze you, Ruth, just because you wrote that scenario? |
| 26613 | Do you think I am wearing this old tam because I am stubborn? |
| 26613 | Do you think I do this for-- for fun? |
| 26613 | Do_ you_ do it, too? |
| 26613 | Does n''t she ever have a visitor? |
| 26613 | Does n''t she ever write letters? |
| 26613 | Does n''t she know better? |
| 26613 | Everything in the shell, girls? 26613 Foolish, am I?" |
| 26613 | Has n''t she the cheek of all cheeks to breeze in here this way? |
| 26613 | Has nothing ever been heard from Miss Rolff since she left Ardmore? |
| 26613 | He''ll say,suggested Helen, giggling,"''you took so much away, why do you bring so little back from college?''" |
| 26613 | How about Heavy? |
| 26613 | How about it, Ruth? |
| 26613 | How came you here, of course? |
| 26613 | How can I help it? |
| 26613 | How would a cow come upon this island-- a mile from shore? |
| 26613 | How- do? |
| 26613 | Huh? 26613 Huh?" |
| 26613 | Huh? |
| 26613 | Huh? |
| 26613 | I believe that fire is up near the big boulder we looked at-- you remember? 26613 I believe you three girls are Briarwoods, are you not?" |
| 26613 | I could n''t let her go back to the poorfarm, I s''pose? |
| 26613 | I guess you are spoofing me, are n''t you? |
| 26613 | I mean that I have discovered something, and I wondered if you had discovered the same thing? |
| 26613 | I suppose there is a porter to help-- er-- the man with my baggage? |
| 26613 | I take it you are acting for her, are n''t you? |
| 26613 | I wonder if that dressy girl with all the goods and chattels is bunked in_ our_ dormitory? |
| 26613 | I wonder if that girl is over on the island yet? |
| 26613 | I wonder if we should n''t eschew all slang now that we have come to Ardmore? |
| 26613 | I wonder what for? |
| 26613 | I wonder what she''s got in all those bags and the big trunk? |
| 26613 | I wonder where the girl is who was in that boat? |
| 26613 | I-- I wonder how that poor girl feels? |
| 26613 | If she''s up there at the Red Mill, how can she possibly be down here, too? 26613 Indeed, Miss Cullam?" |
| 26613 | Indeed, have you? |
| 26613 | Indeed? |
| 26613 | Is my soup noisy? 26613 Is n''t that funny?" |
| 26613 | Is n''t this Maggie one of you? |
| 26613 | Is she suspected of stealing the vase-- and the examination papers? |
| 26613 | Is that Bliss Island? |
| 26613 | Is that so-- Miss? |
| 26613 | Is that so? 26613 Is that so?" |
| 26613 | Is that_ your_ business? |
| 26613 | Is uncle going across the river in the punt? |
| 26613 | Let''s take our skates first thing in the morning down to that man who sharpens things at the boathouse; will you? |
| 26613 | Looks as though two enormous animals had come down the hillside, does n''t it? |
| 26613 | Maggie? |
| 26613 | No? |
| 26613 | Not one of_ ours_? |
| 26613 | Now, here is the front of the old house----"Allow me to keep this picture for a little while, will you, Miss Fielding? |
| 26613 | Now,said Trix Davenport, the coxswain,"are we going to ask that boy to get out the launch and follow us?" |
| 26613 | Oh, indeed? |
| 26613 | On the porch? 26613 Or a dog?" |
| 26613 | Pretty landscapes about the college, are n''t they? |
| 26613 | Remember all those bags and that enormous trunk she brought? |
| 26613 | Remember the girl we found over here that night in the snowstorm? |
| 26613 | Roll_ what_? 26613 See these photographs? |
| 26613 | Seeing the sights,_ mes infantes_? |
| 26613 | Shall I hustle right over to Cheslow for the doctor? |
| 26613 | Shall we all take out accident policies? |
| 26613 | Shall we take off our skates and walk over the island, girls? |
| 26613 | Should we sacrifice ourselves for your benefit, do you think, Jennie? |
| 26613 | Suppose it''s a_ man_? |
| 26613 | Suspect what? |
| 26613 | Thank you,Ruth said again, and Helen found her voice to ask:"Are all the seniors in Hoskin Hall, and all the freshmen at Dare Hall?" |
| 26613 | That is the girl who left Ardmore last year? |
| 26613 | That lovely new silk? |
| 26613 | That what? |
| 26613 | The girl who looked like that Maggie? |
| 26613 | The one over yonder, on the other side of the island? |
| 26613 | The teacher did n''t advise you to eat_ all_ the vegetables there were, did she? |
| 26613 | Then we are sheep and the seniors are wolves, are they? 26613 Then you have no reason for going back to the camp?" |
| 26613 | Then, why not? 26613 This is Dare Hall, is n''t it?" |
| 26613 | Uncle Jabez,she returned rather tartly,"have I been spending much of_ your_ money lately?" |
| 26613 | Uncle Jabez,the girl of the Red Mill said to the old man, softly,"do you know something?" |
| 26613 | Uncomfortable? |
| 26613 | Understand what? |
| 26613 | Wal, is it_ my_ fault? |
| 26613 | Want to crab the film? |
| 26613 | Was it a girl? |
| 26613 | We can not wait to hear it all, Miss-- Betty, did you say your name was? 26613 We-- we can do nothing for you?" |
| 26613 | Well, Miss Fielding? |
| 26613 | Well, might n''t it be she, or a party she may be with? |
| 26613 | Well, now that''s settled,laughed Ruth,"do something for me, will you?" |
| 26613 | Well, why did n''t you escape it by refusing to come, or else by bringing a lunch? |
| 26613 | Well? |
| 26613 | What are you going to do about that tam of yours, Heavy? |
| 26613 | What class color? |
| 26613 | What d''you mean? |
| 26613 | What did she want to go to college for? |
| 26613 | What did we come out for? |
| 26613 | What do you know about_ that_? |
| 26613 | What do you mean, Miss Cullam? 26613 What do you mean, Miss Fielding?" |
| 26613 | What do you mean? 26613 What do you suppose ever became of that girl?" |
| 26613 | What do you suppose it means? 26613 What do you suppose makes her wear it, anyway? |
| 26613 | What do you suppose my father will say to me in June? |
| 26613 | What do you suppose_ she_ was after-- and what is this one over here on the island for? |
| 26613 | What do you take me for? |
| 26613 | What does that mean? 26613 What does this mean?" |
| 26613 | What does what mean? |
| 26613 | What does_ that_ matter? |
| 26613 | What fur, I''d like to know? |
| 26613 | What girl now? 26613 What girl?" |
| 26613 | What girl? |
| 26613 | What girl? |
| 26613 | What is it, dear? |
| 26613 | What is it? |
| 26613 | What is that thing? |
| 26613 | What is that you say? |
| 26613 | What is that, please? |
| 26613 | What is the Stone Face? |
| 26613 | What island? |
| 26613 | What kind of boat? |
| 26613 | What meanest thou, my fair young lady? |
| 26613 | What means to you? |
| 26613 | What now? |
| 26613 | What old things? |
| 26613 | What seemed strange? |
| 26613 | What system, I''d like to know? |
| 26613 | What was her name? |
| 26613 | What wo n''t you think of next, Jennie Stone? |
| 26613 | What you got? 26613 What''s the drawback?" |
| 26613 | What''s the matter with you, Tom Cameron? |
| 26613 | What''s the matter, Ruthie? |
| 26613 | What''s the matter? |
| 26613 | What''s the odds? |
| 26613 | What''s_ she_ got to do with_ us_? |
| 26613 | What, my dear? |
| 26613 | What? 26613 What?" |
| 26613 | What_ are_ you rubbering at, Heavy? |
| 26613 | What_ can_ she be doing out here? |
| 26613 | What_ did_ you see, Jennie Stone? |
| 26613 | What_ do_ you mean, Heavy? |
| 26613 | What_ do_ you mean, Ruth Fielding? |
| 26613 | Where ye goin''to find the gal? |
| 26613 | Where''s Johnny? |
| 26613 | Who are you talking about, Miss Fielding? |
| 26613 | Who can she be? 26613 Who ever would camp over on Bliss Island on a night like this?" |
| 26613 | Who in''tarnation let a gal like that go out in a boat alone, and without airy oar? |
| 26613 | Who is it? 26613 Who is she, Heavy?" |
| 26613 | Who knows? |
| 26613 | Who mentioned hazing? 26613 Who says so?" |
| 26613 | Who under the sun could she be, then? |
| 26613 | Who''s goin''to pay her wages? |
| 26613 | Who''s goin''to pay him? |
| 26613 | Who_ can_ she be? |
| 26613 | Why did you come so early? |
| 26613 | Why do n''t you roll, Heavy? |
| 26613 | Why do you wear it, then? |
| 26613 | Why has n''t she? |
| 26613 | Why not? 26613 Why-- aren''t you?" |
| 26613 | Will you tell me, please, why you are wearing that tam- o''-shanter? |
| 26613 | Wonder if the seniors are just helping out their friends among the tradespeople? 26613 Would n''t it be great? |
| 26613 | Yes; what''s all the disturbance? |
| 26613 | Yes? |
| 26613 | You are just entering, are you not-- you and your friend? |
| 26613 | You girls have drawn your room numbers, I presume? |
| 26613 | You know what I''d love to do this winter? |
| 26613 | You wonder what? |
| 26613 | You would n''t? |
| 26613 | You''re from Ardmore, are n''t you? |
| 26613 | You''re pretty sure of that, Ruth Fielding, are you? |
| 26613 | Your name is n''t_ Fielding_? |
| 26613 | _ Who_ do_ what_? |
| 26613 | _ Who_ must do, Ruthie? 26613 A cramp? |
| 26613 | A freshie?" |
| 26613 | After writing a moving picture drama? |
| 26613 | Ai n''t nothin''the matter, is there?" |
| 26613 | And a visitor? |
| 26613 | And she says her name is''Maggie''? |
| 26613 | And such a wealth of colors?" |
| 26613 | And then,"added the fleshy girl,"the other day when we had such a scrumptuous dinner-- was it Columbus Day? |
| 26613 | And what would the girl say downstairs under me?" |
| 26613 | And who would not love the woman, who was everybody''s aunt but nobody''s relative? |
| 26613 | Any particular girl?" |
| 26613 | Are you going to give right in--_so_ easy?" |
| 26613 | Beard the lions in their den?" |
| 26613 | But how can we discover what became of them if the girl has disappeared again?" |
| 26613 | But why come at all? |
| 26613 | But, as the advertisements say:''Eventually, so why not now?'' |
| 26613 | But----""But what?" |
| 26613 | CHAPTER V GETTING SETTLED"What does this mean, Heavy Jennie?" |
| 26613 | CHAPTER XXII CAN IT BE A CLUE? |
| 26613 | Ca n''t you read the handwriting on the wall?" |
| 26613 | Can It Be a Clue? |
| 26613 | Did it squirm much?" |
| 26613 | Did you ever see so many caps of one kind and color in all your life?" |
| 26613 | Did you ever see such a person? |
| 26613 | Do I bulge_ much_?" |
| 26613 | Do n''t you realize that you are about to be flung over a cliff and that a mad bull is waiting bel- o- o- w to catch you on his horns? |
| 26613 | Do n''t you see they are runny?" |
| 26613 | Do n''t you understand?" |
| 26613 | Do they?" |
| 26613 | Do we, girls?" |
| 26613 | Do you know, all they give us here is_ cots_ to sleep on? |
| 26613 | Do you remember her, May?" |
| 26613 | Does n''t she, Helen?" |
| 26613 | F.''What did I tell you? |
| 26613 | Finally she asked:"Are you sure, Becky, that you have quite complete files here of this Richmond paper? |
| 26613 | For all the war time, I mean?" |
| 26613 | Had this girl whom Jennie had seen gone in that direction? |
| 26613 | Has she got some ketchin''disease?" |
| 26613 | Have you stuck to your vegetable diet, as I advised?" |
| 26613 | How?" |
| 26613 | I believe so-- I was tempted to eat one of my old- time''full and plenty''meals, and what do you think?" |
| 26613 | I wonder what she did bring in that trunk, anyway? |
| 26613 | If I''d had to go to work----""But could n''t you find something to do?" |
| 26613 | If it was Maggie over on that island, why was she there?" |
| 26613 | Is n''t it, dear? |
| 26613 | Is there anything modest about the motion picture business in_ any_ of its branches?" |
| 26613 | It is n''t a disease, is it?" |
| 26613 | It will not be pleasant to gain the reputation of being Ardmore''s heavyweight, will it?" |
| 26613 | It wo n''t hurt to bow to a custom, will it? |
| 26613 | Let me laugh, wo n''t you?" |
| 26613 | Must we? |
| 26613 | Not Maggie?" |
| 26613 | Now, when I was over there with father the other day, what do you suppose is his chief decoration on his room walls?" |
| 26613 | Quite a ridiculous situation, was it not? |
| 26613 | Ridiculous, was n''t it?" |
| 26613 | Roll a hoop?" |
| 26613 | She said, frankly:"I do wish that you would tell us why you are here? |
| 26613 | Suppose he''s a real nice boy?" |
| 26613 | Surely, you wo n''t remain all night in this lonely place? |
| 26613 | That Stone Face was quite an important spot last May-- wasn''t it, Purvis?" |
| 26613 | The Stone Face, do they call it?" |
| 26613 | The two entering freshmen felt flattered-- how could they help it? |
| 26613 | Then she has come back to- day for another attempt at-- at the treasure, shall we call it? |
| 26613 | There is nobody else on the island, is there?" |
| 26613 | Was it because her face is in the picture that you borrowed it?" |
| 26613 | We all rocked in it, one after another, half- hour watches being assigned----""Not at night?" |
| 26613 | What do you mean by coming here and fooling us all in this way? |
| 26613 | What do you mean?" |
| 26613 | What do you mean?" |
| 26613 | What do you suppose is finally going to happen to that foolish girl?" |
| 26613 | What do you take me for?" |
| 26613 | What does that stand for, pray?" |
| 26613 | What''s that light over there, Ruth?" |
| 26613 | What''s that?" |
| 26613 | What''s your name?" |
| 26613 | What, I''d like to have ye tell me?" |
| 26613 | What?" |
| 26613 | What_ are_ you going to do with those papers?" |
| 26613 | When I returned armed with the tongs in the morning----""Yes, Miss Cullam?" |
| 26613 | When she reached the Stone Face where Ruth and the strange girl were standing, she cried:"What_ is_ the matter with you, Ruthie Fielding? |
| 26613 | Where are you staying?" |
| 26613 | Where ye been all this time? |
| 26613 | Who ever heard the like?" |
| 26613 | Who is that on the porch?" |
| 26613 | Who was she?" |
| 26613 | Why,_ is_ anybody on the porch? |
| 26613 | Would Rebecca be caught going to classes in such an outfit? |
| 26613 | Would you?" |
| 26613 | You have not seen our library yet, have you, Miss Fielding?" |
| 26613 | You know all about Maggie, do you?" |
| 26613 | You remember Mr. Grimes, the Alectrion director who filmed our play at Briarwood?" |
| 26613 | You remember, do n''t you? |
| 26613 | You seniors and juniors would have a nice time sending us all to Coventry, would n''t you? |
| 26613 | You''re never going over to that island?" |
| 26613 | _ Another gal?_"exclaimed the old miller. |
| 26613 | _ But what became of them afterward?_""Why, Miss Cullam,"Ruth said thoughtfully,"of course they must still be in the vase." |
| 26613 | _ Did_ the seniors know the storekeepers had the tams in stock, or have the storekeepers been put wise by our elder sisters at Ardmore?" |
| 26613 | _ Ruth Fielding!_ Is n''t this delightsome?" |
| 26613 | _ Were_ they lost, or were n''t they? |
| 26613 | _ now_ who''s coarse?" |
| 26613 | and what are_ you_ laughing at?" |
| 26613 | are you hurt?" |
| 26613 | asked Ruth, interested,"is she still here?" |
| 26613 | could you crochet one of these tams?" |
| 26613 | did you ever see so many tam- o''-shanters in your little lives? |
| 26613 | exclaimed Helen,"bother about_ her_, will you?" |
| 26613 | he cried,"are you going into a decline?" |
| 26613 | he snorted,"it ai n''t so pertic''lar, is it, Niece Ruth? |
| 26613 | is n''t the outside world beautiful to- night?" |
| 26613 | it''s the girl who was camping in the snow, is n''t it?" |
| 26613 | nothing disturbs your calm, does it, Miss Stone?" |
| 26613 | said Edith, addressing her friends,"would n''t it be nice to have a''close up''taken of that heap of luggage? |
| 26613 | said Ruth, in surprise:"But, of course, the girls can go there?" |
| 26613 | said the fleshy girl,"where do you go in this world that you do n''t have to fight for your rights? |
| 26613 | she said,"I believe I could have stuck to the diet, if----""Well, if what?" |
| 26613 | what air ye tryin''to do?" |
| 26613 | what are you trying to do-- you fat person there?" |
| 26613 | what can this mean?" |
| 26613 | what do you think of your Aunt Ruth_ now_?" |
| 26613 | who''s this?" |
| 26613 | why not?" |
| 26613 | will you look at the one that Frayne girl is wearing?" |
| 26613 | you''ve a regular kitchenette here, have n''t you?" |
