13045 | But how will you persuade him that it is an emergency measure not to be repeated? |
13045 | But if so, what will happen to the Guildsman as consumer? |
13045 | But is he, in fact, entitled to count on receiving any interest at all from our Allies for some years to come after the war? |
13045 | But is it not a"fundamental truth of economic science"that capital is wealth applied to production? |
13045 | But is man born free to work as and on what he likes? |

13045 | But is this certain or even likely? |
13045 | But is this so? |
13045 | But is this the right way to do it? |
13045 | But would it work as a practical scheme? |
13045 | Can Mr Kitson show it to us, and what are these"fundamental truths of economic science"? |

13045 | How can you be sure that it is so? |

13045 | The Government? |
13045 | The contents, with the exception of the last article on"Money or Goods?" |
13045 | The question is, however, what is the remedy for this admitted and glaring evil? |
13045 | The question is, what figure ought we to put on this asset in deducting it from gross war expenditure in order to arrive at a guess at the real cost? |

13045 | XX MONEY OR GOODS? |
13045 | [ 1] Why has this been so? |
13045 | may be given, in Quaker fashion, by another question: What will happen to the index number of the prices of commodities? |
13045 | were enforced, how can we be sure that it would not take a large slice off capital, the next heir to which is a soldier or a sailor? |
34942 | ''Excuse me, sir, but suppose they still will come to me after the notices are up, and I ca n''t keep them away?'' 34942 ''How long is the specification for masonry? |

34942 | I suppose the bricks you took from the brick- yard were tallied, and deliveries checked with the work done in the lining? |
34942 | I suppose you silenced him quickly? |
34942 | Now, how the dickens could any concrete be right with such treatment? 34942 That was pretty for you; but did I ever tell you how I got well insulted by one of my chaps?" |
34942 | That''s it, but what has that to do with the scare at the tunnel and the scamping? |
34942 | Were you scared to think the train after you would telescope you? |

47111 | If it be asked, whether foreigners for what goods they take of us, do not pay on that consumption a great portion of our taxes? 47111 ''How many British authors have demonstrated, that the present wealth, power and glory of their country, are founded upon these colonies? 47111 ''_ What_ have these colonies to_ ask_, while they continue free? 47111 At any given number of pence, shillings or pounds? 47111 At any given number of pence, shillings, or pounds? 47111 But can any man, acquainted with America, believe this possible? 47111 But is no injury a violation of right but the_ greatest_ injury? 47111 But what is the difference to us, whether arbitrary acts take their rise from ministers, or are permitted by them? 47111 Can any man believe that the duties upon paper,& c. are the last that will be laid for these purposes? 47111 Do they condemn the conduct of these colonies, concerning the_ Stamp- act_? 47111 For where does their right stop? 47111 For who are a free people? 47111 For who are a free people? 47111 Has not the parliament expressly avowed their intention of raising money from us for certain purposes? 47111 How is this mode more tolerable than the STAMP ACT? 47111 How many British authors[26] have remonstrated that the present wealth, power and glory of their country are founded on these colonies? 47111 How may we mitigate the miseries of our country? 47111 How must that great statesman have been surprised to find, that the unpolished colonists could not be reconciled to infamy, by treachery? 47111 How would they bear this, was the case their own? 47111 If it will not, is it to be expected, that the parliament will not fully execute their intention, when it is pleasing at home, and not opposed here? 47111 If it will, must it not take an immense sum from us? 47111 If it will, must it not take an immense sum from us? 47111 If no material taxes remain to be imposed by them, what must become of them, and the people they represent? 47111 If_ no material_ taxes remain to be imposed by them, what must become of_ them_, and the people they represent?'' 47111 In short, if they have a right to levy a tax of_ one penny_ upon us, they have a right to levy a_ million_ upon us; for where does their right stop? 47111 Is not this scheme popular in Great- Britain? 47111 Is not this scheme_ popular_ in Great Britain? 47111 It may perhaps be asked, what would have been proper for them to do? 47111 Must not this be done by imposing new taxes? 47111 Must not this be done by imposing_ new taxes_? 47111 Or have they forgot its successful issue? 47111 Or that for her to levy taxes upon them is to reverse the nature of things? 47111 Or that she can pursue such a measure without reducing them to a state of vassalage? 47111 Or what have they to dread, but insidious attempts to subvert their freedom? 47111 Or what signifies the repeal of the STAMP- ACT, if these colonies are to lose their_ other_ privileges, by not tamely surrendering that of_ taxation_? 47111 Or why may not every colony be treated in the same manner, when any of them shall dare to deny their assent to any impositions that shall be directed? 47111 Ought any point to be allowed to a good[65] minister, that should be denied to a bad one? 47111 Ought not the people therefore to watch to observe facts? 47111 Ought the colonies at that time, instead of acting as they did, to have trusted for relief, to the fortuitous events of futurity? 47111 Some few of them may meet of their own accord, by virtue of their charters: But what will they have to do when they are met? 47111 Suppose the duties were made payable in_ Great- Britain_? 47111 This letter was conciliatory and persuasive, yet in the closing pages Dickinson asked:What then can we do? |
47111 | To what shadows will they be reduced? |
47111 | What benefit can we, or have we ever derived from them? |
47111 | What can such men design? |
47111 | What have these colonies to ask, while they continue free? |
47111 | What is this but_ taxing_ us at a_ certain sum_, and leaving to us only the_ manner_ of raising it? |
47111 | What justice is there in making us pay for"defending, protecting and securing"these places? |
47111 | What would they think of a new prerogative claimed by the crown? |
47111 | What[21]"tax"can be more"internal"than this? |
47111 | When a branch of revenue is once established, does it not appear to many people invidious and undutiful, to attempt to abolish it? |
47111 | When a branch of revenue is once established, does it not appear to many people_ invidious_ and undutiful, to attempt to abolish it? |
47111 | Which way shall we turn ourselves? |
47111 | Why should they not now be permitted to enjoy that authority, which they have exercised from the first settlement of these colonies? |
47111 | Why then should these most important truths be wrested out of their hands? |
47111 | Why then was it universally detested by them as slavery itself? |
47111 | Why was the_ Stamp- act_ then so pernicious to freedom? |
47111 | Will not every additional tax therefore render it more difficult to abrogate any of them? |
47111 | Will not every additional tax therefore render it_ more difficult_ to abrogate any of them? |
47111 | Will the taxes imposed by the late act,_ answer_ those purposes? |
47111 | Will the taxes, imposed by the late act, answer those purposes? |
47111 | _ Great Britain_ gives us an example to guide us? |
47111 | and have they not a right of judging from the evidence before them, on no slighter points than their liberty and happiness? |
47111 | or that for her to levy taxes upon them, is to reverse the nature of things? |
47111 | or that she can pursue such a measure, without reducing them to a state of vassalage? |
47111 | or what have they to_ dread_, but insidious attempts to subvert their freedom? |
47111 | to investigate designs? |
47111 | to search into causes? |
44274 | A check on what? |
44274 | About what? |
44274 | All right; what do you want to do? |
44274 | Are you going to turn down all those$ 5 bills? |
44274 | Are you? 44274 At what time?" |
44274 | But suppose the properties do n''t make good? |
44274 | Did they get you? 44274 Did you meet any outsiders there?" |
44274 | Did you sign that interview which they published? |
44274 | Do you mean to say that the odds against a man making money on Union Pacific on any given day are only 6 to 5 when he buys the stock_ on margin_? |
44274 | Do you still bet on the horses? |
44274 | Do you want a cut? |
44274 | Do you want them? |
44274 | Hello,I said,"who is this?" |
44274 | Hold us? |
44274 | How am I going to get back to Tonopah and from there to San Francisco? |
44274 | How am I going to subsist here for a few days until I can begin to make a living? |
44274 | How can I? 44274 How far do you intend to go?" |
44274 | How much capital have you got? |
44274 | How much do you want? |
44274 | How much would your bank loan the Sullivan Trust Company on its unindorsed paper and at a moment''s notice? |
44274 | How''s that? 44274 If we only get a few customers to- day and this one wins, what will happen?" |
44274 | Sullivan,I said,"is n''t it a certainty that the miners will vote the Democratic ticket because Mitchell has been put forward by the mine owners? |
44274 | Suppose we get stranded out there, what will happen? |
44274 | Well, what of it? |
44274 | Well,said I,"how can you lose? |
44274 | Well? |
44274 | What are you doing here? |
44274 | What authority have you for this? |
44274 | What did you say in your second story? |
44274 | What do you know about mines? |
44274 | What theater has a sale of seats to- day? |
44274 | What will I pay? |
44274 | What will we do next? |
44274 | What will we do next? |
44274 | What will you take to make a report on Ely Central? |
44274 | What''s my job, and what do I get? |
44274 | What''s the matter? |
44274 | What''s the news, Jack? |
44274 | What''s the purpose of the report? |
44274 | What''s the trouble? |
44274 | What''s up? |
44274 | What? 44274 Where did you buy your information?" |
44274 | Why do n''t Rice come over here himself, eh? 44274 Why?" |
44274 | As for myself, what excuse have I had for catering to the gambling instinct? |
44274 | But what happened to Nipissing? |
44274 | But what of the public? |
44274 | C. Goodwin, where he delivered himself somewhat as follows:"What are you fellows trying to do, anyway? |
44274 | CHAPTER XII THE LESSON OF IT ALL What is the lesson of my experience-- the big broad lesson for the American citizen? |
44274 | Can you beat that for a layout? |
44274 | Could it be possible that they themselves were scuttling the ship that had given them such glorious passage? |
44274 | Custom and practice cover a multitude of remarkable transactions-- don''t they? |
44274 | Did I fall for Greenwater? |
44274 | Did I have foresight? |
44274 | Did I realize that stocks were selling at much higher prices than were warranted by intrinsic worth and speculative value? |
44274 | Did the Government find any evidence of this in the books? |
44274 | Did we invariably bet the money of our clients on the horse we named? |
44274 | Do n''t drowning men grasp at straws? |
44274 | Do you know that the gambling instinct is responsible for the wonderful growth of the mining industry in the United States? |
44274 | Do you suppose newspapers presided over by those men are going to say a word against the enterprises of their benefactors? |
44274 | Do you think we are fools or crazy, or what? |
44274 | Do you think we are going to stand for any such newspaper notoriety as you are getting and watch it with our arms folded? |
44274 | Do you think we can sell them in the morning for enough to provide breakfast money?" |
44274 | Do you want to burn up the money?" |
44274 | Does_ any_ exist? |
44274 | Finally I asked,"What is the matter?" |
44274 | Gans wins, does n''t he?" |
44274 | HAVE YOU ANY CHANCE AT ALL? |
44274 | HOW ABOUT THE PUBLIC''S CHANCES? |
44274 | Has an outraged Government ever raised hue and cry against these eminent captains of industry? |
44274 | He exclaimed,"Bet? |
44274 | Holding up both hands, I gasped,"In heaven''s name, what have we done?" |
44274 | How can you make any money giving out that Silver Coin tip for nothing?" |
44274 | How many of his trading customers travel that way? |
44274 | How many words?" |
44274 | How was it done? |
44274 | How was this to be accomplished? |
44274 | How would you like to join us?" |
44274 | If he is frank, he will shrug his shoulders and reply something like this:"If the game could be beaten, do you think I would be a broker? |
44274 | If there was a Greenwater boom, how was it that we in Goldfield, who were in touch with all Nevada mining affairs, did not know about it? |
44274 | Is he? |
44274 | Is it necessary to spend any money with the Western Federation?" |
44274 | Is it not the habit of horse- race players when they lose five races in succession to make a plunge bet on the sixth with a view to getting out even? |
44274 | It''s a foul, is n''t it? |
44274 | Now, will that satisfy you? |
44274 | People in Nevada began asking,"Who is Teague?" |
44274 | Pool- room habitués argued it thus:"If the tip is not''a good thing,''what object in the world would these people have for publishing the ad? |
44274 | Pushing his fist into the referee''s face, Mr. Sullivan cried:"Now, Siler, you saw that foul, did n''t you? |
44274 | Shall I wire the Knickerbocker Trust Company to pay you$ 25,000 to support the market? |
44274 | Slamming his cane down on the big mahogany table, he demanded in stentorian tones:"What in the---- does this---- business mean? |
44274 | Sullivan._ What guarantee have I got that you wo n''t give Gans the worst of it? |
44274 | THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA TO COIN MONEY"Do these people make money?" |
44274 | THE WINNINGS OF A TENDERFOOT What about me? |
44274 | The man responded,"His name is Jack, ai n''t it?" |
44274 | This seems certain, for otherwise why this raw press- work? |
44274 | Turning to Sullivan I said:"Do you know the Goldfield manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company?" |
44274 | Turning to the demon in charge of the engine, who had now recovered consciousness, Mr. Sullivan cried,"How dare you do a thing like this?" |
44274 | WHO GOT THE$ 75,000,000? |
44274 | Was I, in fact, wise to the exact situation and did I realize a smash was bound to ensue? |
44274 | Was he not talked of as running mate for Mr. Taft, and did he not organize the National League of Republican Clubs two years ago? |
44274 | What are these impalpable yet cunningly devised tricks that are calculated to fool the wisest and which landed YOU? |
44274 | What are you trying to put across on us? |
44274 | What are your chances of winning in any speculation where you play another man''s game? |
44274 | What difference is there between the respectable multi- millionaire bankers putting across a losing promotion and the little fellow? |
44274 | What does it mean, suh; what does it mean?" |
44274 | What has been the attitude of the Department of Justice since the raid was made? |
44274 | What is the evil of short selling of the kind described herein? |
44274 | What more natural than that those who were hit hard should now fall over one another to get in on the good things of Rawhide? |
44274 | What of the camp? |
44274 | What was the system? |
44274 | Where did I stand and what was my position at this conjuncture? |
44274 | Where does real tangible evidence of a conspiracy to defraud in Nipissing exist? |
44274 | Where does the money go that is lost? |
44274 | Who did get it? |
44274 | Who gets it? |
44274 | Who pays it? |
44274 | Who pays the freight? |
44274 | Who profited? |
44274 | Why did n''t it issue a fraud order? |
44274 | Why was the property idle? |
44274 | Why, if the Scheftels aggregation were guilty, did n''t the Post- Office Department do the raiding? |
44274 | With this$ 5,000?" |
44274 | Would n''t I be a player?" |
44274 | Would n''t it wilt you? |
44274 | Would people notice it? |
44274 | Would you believe that without the gambling instinct the development of the great natural resources of this country would be almost impossible? |
44274 | Would you make an affidavit that you bought the information from us?" |
44274 | You understand? |
40583 | A cosmic force? 40583 A gentleman?" |
40583 | About Ruston? |
40583 | About anything in particular? |
40583 | Absorbs her? |
40583 | Afraid of him? |
40583 | Ah, Harry, how did the speech go? |
40583 | Ah, Loring, how are you? |
40583 | Ah, Willie, are you still-- still jealous? 40583 Ah, you''d like to beat me, would n''t you?" |
40583 | Am I? |
40583 | And Bessie''s? |
40583 | And I might arrange meetings for you? 40583 And Omofaga?" |
40583 | And about losing Tom Loring? |
40583 | And do n''t you believe him? |
40583 | And does he-- the man-- think the same? |
40583 | And for long? |
40583 | And has Adela forgiven you? 40583 And has Mrs. Dennison come?" |
40583 | And he came to see you? |
40583 | And he''s going? |
40583 | And how do you stand banishment? 40583 And how you hate being obliged to me, do n''t you?" |
40583 | And how''s Maggie? |
40583 | And how''s the great scheme? |
40583 | And it''s really going well? |
40583 | And my husband? |
40583 | And now I come, do n''t I? |
40583 | And tell Maggie? |
40583 | And that was the object of your appearance here to- day? 40583 And the natives?" |
40583 | And the others? |
40583 | And to use it-- or not to use it-- like Lord Semingham? |
40583 | And we,she said in a low voice, looking out of the window,"shall just hear of you once a year?" |
40583 | And what are these little red crosses? |
40583 | And what did Maggie say? |
40583 | And what does he mean? |
40583 | And what''s to be the end of it? |
40583 | And who will listen? |
40583 | And why did you do it? |
40583 | And why did you want me? |
40583 | And why should n''t we be useful to him? |
40583 | And you and he are going to have the effrontery to ask shareholders to trust their money to you? |
40583 | And you are not married? |
40583 | And you can stay, ca n''t you? |
40583 | And you do n''t want to? 40583 And you said----?" |
40583 | And you stay here too? |
40583 | And you''ll dine with me to- night? |
40583 | And you''re going to stay some time with the Seminghams? 40583 And you''re going?" |
40583 | And you? |
40583 | And you? |
40583 | And, Evan, you do n''t mean that he''s your rival at the Valentines''? |
40583 | And, Maggie, if he suspects? |
40583 | And-- is it the whole story? |
40583 | Any visitors? |
40583 | Anyone been, Harry? |
40583 | Anything else? |
40583 | Are n''t you rather giving away your friend young Haselden? |
40583 | Are the stores started? |
40583 | Are you and the children going to the seaside soon? |
40583 | Are you coming down this morning, Maggie? |
40583 | Are you feeling better? |
40583 | Are you glad, mother? |
40583 | Are you really going to back out now? |
40583 | Are you really? 40583 Are you serious?" |
40583 | Are you? |
40583 | Because I thought, you know, that you were rather-- you know-- Adela Ferrars? |
40583 | But am I to hear about Omofaga? |
40583 | But are you paired? |
40583 | But did n''t they look like tombstones, Baron? |
40583 | But how do you know she likes me? |
40583 | But if I am, my son? |
40583 | But if he sees? |
40583 | But if she tells you to? |
40583 | But just now-- just now as we stood here? |
40583 | But surely, my dear Mrs. Dennison, your husband takes you into his confidence? |
40583 | But the car moves on, eh, Adela? |
40583 | But what did you want with me, or with Bessie? |
40583 | But what did you want with''em, Baron? 40583 But what do you think?" |
40583 | But what does Maggie say to your desertion? |
40583 | But what does it mean? |
40583 | But which would be luck? |
40583 | But why ca n''t Tom? |
40583 | But why not? |
40583 | But why, then,said Mrs. Cormack, whirling her hands,"beat the little Carlin?" |
40583 | But you do now? |
40583 | But,she broke out,"how can he? |
40583 | But-- but what''ll happen? |
40583 | Ca n''t I help you? |
40583 | Ca n''t he? |
40583 | Ca n''t we turn it round and consider it as a compliment to you? |
40583 | Ca n''t you bring him round? 40583 Ca n''t you even follow, when you''ve found a man who can lead?" |
40583 | Ca n''t you see that he''s a man to-- to do things? 40583 Ca n''t you see?" |
40583 | Can he find his papers and blue- books and things? |
40583 | Can you come up? 40583 Capital; and here?" |
40583 | Come, shall we speak plainly? |
40583 | Could anyone refuse her anything? |
40583 | Did Semingham notice it too? |
40583 | Did he ask after me? |
40583 | Did n''t they? |
40583 | Did n''t we tell you? |
40583 | Did you ever ask me? |
40583 | Did you mean it? 40583 Did you meet anyone?" |
40583 | Do I look well? |
40583 | Do n''t I? 40583 Do n''t I?" |
40583 | Do n''t you agree with me? |
40583 | Do n''t you believe me? |
40583 | Do n''t you see? |
40583 | Do n''t you want me to go? |
40583 | Do n''t you want to hear the news? |
40583 | Do you believe in people meeting again anywhere? |
40583 | Do you care_ that_,she asked, snapping her fingers,"for any soul alive? |
40583 | Do you ever lose your money, Baron? |
40583 | Do you go away when your friends are in trouble or in danger? |
40583 | Do you know,she asked,"what we remind me of? |
40583 | Do you know? |
40583 | Do you really want the reason stated? |
40583 | Do you remember,asked Semingham,"how at Dieppe Bessie would have it that the little red crosses were tombstones? |
40583 | Do you think I''d write''em if I did n''t believe they were? |
40583 | Do you think he''s happy, or is he worrying? 40583 Do you think it''s true?" |
40583 | Do you think you can dry your eyes-- your silly eyes-- and help me upstairs? 40583 Do you want to quarrel with me too?" |
40583 | Do you,said Adela, sinking far into the recesses of the arm- chair, and holding up the screen again,"like being there better than anywhere else? |
40583 | Do you? 40583 Does anyone ever do anything more than''cry at first''?" |
40583 | Does he suspect? |
40583 | Eh? 40583 Eh?" |
40583 | Finished? 40583 Floating?" |
40583 | For heaven''s sake, child, what do you mean? 40583 Generally the other side, is n''t it?" |
40583 | Give her my best----"If you want to see me again about it, I-- you''ll always know where to find me in the City, wo n''t you? |
40583 | Go? 40583 Going? |
40583 | Going? |
40583 | Gone? |
40583 | Got it, I suppose? |
40583 | Harry? |
40583 | Has Harry Dennison been speaking to- day? |
40583 | Has anything upset you to- day? |
40583 | Has she been talking to you much about it? |
40583 | Have all the gentlemen we know got to stay and work? |
40583 | Have you heard? |
40583 | He does n''t know yet? |
40583 | He was angry, was he? |
40583 | He will have nothing more to do with it, you will see;and, turning to her, he asked with a sudden spurt of vigour,"Do you know why?" |
40583 | He''s not staying in-- with you, I suppose? |
40583 | He? |
40583 | Heard about it? |
40583 | Help what? |
40583 | How are the children, Maggie? |
40583 | How are you? |
40583 | How could I help you? |
40583 | How did you know it was mine? |
40583 | How did you learn? |
40583 | How do you know? |
40583 | How do you think Harry''s looking? |
40583 | How is everything? |
40583 | How should I? |
40583 | I beg pardon? |
40583 | I believe you care-- I mean you think more about Omofaga than about----"Anything in the world? |
40583 | I ca n''t go on talking about it; but is there no hope? |
40583 | I could n''t do that, could I? 40583 I daresay he''s spoken of me-- of Maggie Sherwood?" |
40583 | I hear you''re going to Dieppe next week? |
40583 | I hope Mrs. Dennison is well? |
40583 | I mean, do you really want my opinion, or are you being polite? |
40583 | I say, Mrs. Dennison, you''ve always been awfully good to me; I wonder if you''d help me in this? |
40583 | I shall have had something to do with all that, sha n''t I? 40583 I suppose I can,"answered Carlin;"but it''s rather queer, is n''t it, Willie?" |
40583 | I suppose,said Adela, in quite an indifferent tone,"that you''ll settle down with the Dennisons again?" |
40583 | I suppose,she said,"you think most of us fools?" |
40583 | I think so; do n''t you? |
40583 | I thought it was holiday time? 40583 I thought you hated her?" |
40583 | I wonder if your coming sent him away? |
40583 | I''m an old man, and a sick man,he pleaded,"and you, my dear----""Ah, suppose I have been-- whatever you like-- indiscreet? |
40583 | I''ve got Bessie''s settlement,observed Lord Semingham; and he added after a moment''s pause,"What''s the matter? |
40583 | I? 40583 If I were a man----""You''d be the prophet, not the disciple, eh?" |
40583 | If I were dead? |
40583 | In London? 40583 In Omofaga, Willie?" |
40583 | Including----? |
40583 | Is he coming after all? 40583 Is he coming to- day?" |
40583 | Is he long gone? |
40583 | Is he there-- at the house-- now? |
40583 | Is he? |
40583 | Is it about my letter to Carlin? |
40583 | Is it about yourself, Baron? 40583 Is it better to know it, or not to know it?" |
40583 | Is it just because I ask? 40583 Is it only because he called you Ganymede? |
40583 | Is it the air or the bathing or what? |
40583 | Is it you, Maggie? |
40583 | Is it your money? |
40583 | Is it? 40583 Is n''t it glorious?" |
40583 | Is n''t it splendid? 40583 Is n''t this rather small of you?" |
40583 | Is she ill? |
40583 | Is that all? |
40583 | Is that being inspiring? 40583 Is that fellow a fool?" |
40583 | Is that philosophy or finance? |
40583 | Is that why? |
40583 | Is there any positive harm in being in the fashion? 40583 Is there nobody at home?" |
40583 | It is finished then? |
40583 | It need n''t,he said, in a tone rather more timid than young Sir Walter would have expected,"make any difference to our friendship, need it? |
40583 | Juggernaut''s? |
40583 | Look here, ca n''t you help? |
40583 | Maggie,he went on,"are you angry? |
40583 | Marry him? 40583 May I see?" |
40583 | Mr. Dennison''s not a speculator, is he? |
40583 | Mr. Loring, are you going to say good- bye to Maggie? |
40583 | Mr. Ruston? 40583 Must I say?" |
40583 | My dear man,said she, taking his hand,"what''s the matter?" |
40583 | My dear,said Harry Dennison very apologetically,"do you think you quite understand----?" |
40583 | No? 40583 Nor you, Loring, I expect?" |
40583 | Not beyond cure? |
40583 | Not beyond cure? |
40583 | Not manage? 40583 Not now?" |
40583 | Not say such things? |
40583 | Not-- not the forbidden topic? |
40583 | Nothing, Maggie? |
40583 | Nothing? 40583 Nothing?" |
40583 | Now, what brings him here? |
40583 | Now, what you propose,continued Evan,"is most-- but, I say, Val, what does she think?" |
40583 | Now? |
40583 | Of Loring? |
40583 | Of course you''re going to say good- bye to her? |
40583 | Of me?--for my sake, do you mean? |
40583 | Of who? |
40583 | Of you? |
40583 | Off? |
40583 | Oh, have you? |
40583 | Oh, is n''t there? 40583 Oh, no, we thorough believers are past praying for; are n''t we, Marjory?" |
40583 | Oh, of Ruston''s? 40583 Oh, of course, it''s always that in a woman, is n''t it?" |
40583 | Oh, were they really? 40583 Oh, what''s my demon?" |
40583 | Oh, why talk about me? 40583 Oh, you did n''t?" |
40583 | Oh, you did? |
40583 | Oh, you found out he wrote them? |
40583 | Oh, you have? |
40583 | Oh, you know that? |
40583 | Oh, you think that now? |
40583 | Oh, you think to deceive me too? 40583 Oh, you''ve found time to notice that?" |
40583 | Omofaga? |
40583 | Or are we to say nothing? |
40583 | Or you wished it? |
40583 | Past praying for? |
40583 | Perhaps,she added,"you think your victory still incomplete?" |
40583 | Ruston''s? |
40583 | Shall I go? |
40583 | Shall I sell? |
40583 | Sleep? 40583 So I shall do to pass the time?" |
40583 | So you made a little mischief? |
40583 | So you were counted out? |
40583 | So you''ve heard? 40583 So you''ve made him miserable?" |
40583 | Supposing that was the only reason,she replied, smiling,"would it stop you?" |
40583 | Surely it does n''t make any difference? |
40583 | Surely it''s a good thing for me to know? |
40583 | Than about your coming to Dieppe, you mean? |
40583 | That hurts? |
40583 | That means a mistake, a delusion? |
40583 | That you might tell me too-- or will you want all Omofaga if you do so much? |
40583 | The Baron bought''em, eh? |
40583 | The end? |
40583 | The first time after-- how many years? |
40583 | The thing''s not uncertain? |
40583 | Then he does go? |
40583 | Then how do you know----? |
40583 | Then that,said Ruston,"is the real reason why you''re severing yourself from us?" |
40583 | Then what am I to do? |
40583 | Then you think of----? |
40583 | Then( Mrs. Dennison had to smile at that little word),"you''ll help me?" |
40583 | Then, if you believed it, why did n''t you do something? |
40583 | There''s more than that, is n''t there? |
40583 | They keep you informed, it seems? |
40583 | They''re behind me if----"Well? |
40583 | They''ve been mostly against you, have n''t they? 40583 Those are the orders, are they?" |
40583 | To be eminent requires some self- deception, does n''t it? 40583 To- morrow? |
40583 | Tom-- Loring-- going? |
40583 | Wanted something? |
40583 | We''ll go and join Mr. Loring, shall we? |
40583 | We''re all Omofagites here, are n''t we? |
40583 | We''re shamefully foolish, are n''t we, Marjory? |
40583 | Well, Director, have you found your directions? |
40583 | Well, I could hardly refuse, could I? |
40583 | Well, I need n''t take you right up, need I? |
40583 | Well, Madge,said Mrs. Dennison,"there''s good news for you, is n''t there? |
40583 | Well, Maggie? |
40583 | Well, Tom, what''s your advice? |
40583 | Well, and if I do? |
40583 | Well, and now? |
40583 | Well, apart from anything else, suppose Dennison heard you? 40583 Well, did you hear the story?" |
40583 | Well, had they anything to say? |
40583 | Well, he''s not a thin- skinned chap, is he? |
40583 | Well, is n''t it enough to justify the toast? |
40583 | Well, what does he say? |
40583 | Well, what''s the matter? 40583 Well, who is he?" |
40583 | Well, who''s dead? |
40583 | Well,she asked, with a laugh and a blush,"do I wear well?" |
40583 | Well? |
40583 | Well? |
40583 | Well? |
40583 | Well? |
40583 | Well? |
40583 | Well? |
40583 | Were you asleep? |
40583 | Were you there? |
40583 | What are we to do? |
40583 | What are you two conspiring about? |
40583 | What can he find to say to her? |
40583 | What chance brings you here? |
40583 | What did I use to say? 40583 What did you do that for?" |
40583 | What difference can it make? |
40583 | What do I care for him or the rest of them? 40583 What do you mean?" |
40583 | What do you mean? |
40583 | What do you say? |
40583 | What do you want to see? |
40583 | What does he do that for? |
40583 | What does he mean by the postscript?--''Have you found another kingdom yet?'' |
40583 | What does the blue mean? |
40583 | What else do you mean? 40583 What else is left me? |
40583 | What harm will he do? 40583 What have you all done? |
40583 | What have you done, Maggie? |
40583 | What in the world for? |
40583 | What is happening up there? |
40583 | What is the ultimate cause of everything that happens to us now? |
40583 | What is there to say? |
40583 | What must? |
40583 | What should they have to say in this place? 40583 What should you do, if you were me?" |
40583 | What should you do? |
40583 | What then? |
40583 | What was Loring to you? |
40583 | What will he say? |
40583 | What''ll she say to me? |
40583 | What''s that? |
40583 | What''s the matter? |
40583 | What''s the matter? |
40583 | What''s the offer? |
40583 | What''s the use? 40583 What, already?" |
40583 | What, are you really off? 40583 What, going round here?" |
40583 | What? |
40583 | What? |
40583 | What? |
40583 | What? |
40583 | What? |
40583 | What? |
40583 | When do you go? |
40583 | When does your husband come? |
40583 | When who comes? |
40583 | When''s he coming? |
40583 | Where are my glasses? |
40583 | Where are you going? |
40583 | Where is Lady Semingham? |
40583 | Where is Maggie? |
40583 | Where is it? 40583 Where?" |
40583 | While he comes to the house? |
40583 | Who began the talk? |
40583 | Who began? |
40583 | Who should it be? |
40583 | Who thought you would? |
40583 | Who told you, Ruston? |
40583 | Who was it in the garden? 40583 Who''ll give you fruit at Dieppe?" |
40583 | Who''s that pretty girl over there,he asked,"talking to young Haselden?" |
40583 | Who''s what, dear? |
40583 | Who, then? |
40583 | Who? |
40583 | Who? |
40583 | Why I''ve come? |
40583 | Why are n''t you in bed? |
40583 | Why are they all in corners? |
40583 | Why are we all to be his instruments? |
40583 | Why are you doing it? |
40583 | Why ca n''t men hate quietly? 40583 Why did Mr. Loring go away?" |
40583 | Why did you do it? |
40583 | Why did you do it? |
40583 | Why do n''t they help you more? |
40583 | Why do n''t you like Mr. Ruston, my child? |
40583 | Why do you talk of it? |
40583 | Why do you tell me that, when you want to get rid of me? |
40583 | Why do you worry about the fellow? |
40583 | Why glad, Mr. Ruston? 40583 Why have you?" |
40583 | Why is he? |
40583 | Why not at Curzon Street? |
40583 | Why not? |
40583 | Why not? |
40583 | Why not? |
40583 | Why should you cry? |
40583 | Why suggest the impossible? |
40583 | Why that? |
40583 | Why were you in such a hurry to take offence? 40583 Why, in heaven''s name? |
40583 | Why, what about? |
40583 | Why, what are you staying for? |
40583 | Why, what must happen? 40583 Why?" |
40583 | Why? |
40583 | Why? |
40583 | Why? |
40583 | Why? |
40583 | Why? |
40583 | Will he weep? |
40583 | Will she? 40583 Will that do?" |
40583 | Will the money be lost? |
40583 | Will you go with me to the post- office? |
40583 | Will you walk up with me? |
40583 | Will you write? |
40583 | Wo n''t you come? |
40583 | Wo n''t you go and dress for dinner? |
40583 | Women do waste a lot of time on dress, do n''t they? |
40583 | Would you like to be written to about it? 40583 Yes, and he-- well, do you want to hear, or will you be angry and despise me as you used?" |
40583 | Yes; I heard it,said Detchmore,"about the telegram, was n''t it?" |
40583 | Yes; and when he''d gone? |
40583 | Yes; but they keep everybody down, and-- and do as you order? |
40583 | Yes? 40583 Yes?" |
40583 | You can manage it for me? |
40583 | You do me the honour to be anxious on my account? |
40583 | You do n''t mean to say you''ve been----"Fool enough? 40583 You do n''t object?" |
40583 | You do n''t really like Mrs. Cormack, do you? |
40583 | You do not want to know why? |
40583 | You do wish I could come? |
40583 | You got my telegram? |
40583 | You had n''t noticed it? 40583 You heard too?" |
40583 | You hope----? |
40583 | You know everybody here, I suppose? |
40583 | You know what you''re asking? |
40583 | You like her, do n''t you, Madge? |
40583 | You mean it is too soon-- premature? |
40583 | You mean there''ll be no one to make a change for her-- to distract her thoughts? |
40583 | You mean to-- to give her''a bit of your mind?'' |
40583 | You mean we''re never to meet again? |
40583 | You mean you came to see me? |
40583 | You mean you did? 40583 You mean,"asked Ruston, slowly,"that I''d better not come here?" |
40583 | You mean----? |
40583 | You see what it means? 40583 You still come here?" |
40583 | You want to see me? |
40583 | You wo n''t be against me? |
40583 | You wo n''t come, Maggie? |
40583 | You wo n''t go? |
40583 | You wo n''t refuse her? |
40583 | You''ll come, Tom? 40583 You''ll come, Tom?" |
40583 | You''ll have soldiers? |
40583 | You''ll persuade him that there was nothing----? |
40583 | You''re a director, are n''t you? |
40583 | You''re amused? |
40583 | You''re determined to go, are you? |
40583 | You''re going as you planned? |
40583 | You''re not? |
40583 | You''ve done that? |
40583 | You-- you''ll be governor? |
40583 | Yours? 40583 A post? 40583 After another long pause, during which her face expressed the turmoil of her thoughts, she whispered,Adela, is that why Mr. Loring went away?" |
40583 | Ah, was Adela right? |
40583 | Am I to go on?" |
40583 | And I suppose you''ll say you''re very sorry, wo n''t you? |
40583 | And I?" |
40583 | And Maggie----""She''s wrapped up in him?" |
40583 | And Ruston? |
40583 | And anyhow----""Well?" |
40583 | And are you going to leave her all alone? |
40583 | And besides?" |
40583 | And for what?" |
40583 | And now-- how goes the railway?" |
40583 | And on whose bidding? |
40583 | And the other-- this Mrs. Dennison? |
40583 | And then do n''t you see----?" |
40583 | And these horrid Germans are out of the way?" |
40583 | And to what end? |
40583 | And what have you been doing with yourself?" |
40583 | And why-- why-- why did not the morning come? |
40583 | And why? |
40583 | And why?" |
40583 | And you''ll think of me now and then?" |
40583 | And yours?" |
40583 | And, if a fellow is not a gentleman, what, he asked, do brains and all the rest of it go for? |
40583 | And, what in the end, is it?" |
40583 | And-- does Marjory?" |
40583 | Are n''t you glad?" |
40583 | Are n''t you hungry?" |
40583 | Are the things you say really true?" |
40583 | Are you bad too?" |
40583 | Are you just going to look on? |
40583 | Are you left desolate like Mr. Haselden here?" |
40583 | Are you sorry I''m not coming?" |
40583 | Are you still crushing----?" |
40583 | Because you''re sorry for me?" |
40583 | Been here long? |
40583 | Besides, I''ve grown to love it now, have n''t you?" |
40583 | Best, is n''t it?" |
40583 | Bright spots of colour glowed on her cheeks; had she answered the question of the origin of the topic? |
40583 | But how describe what comes after? |
40583 | But how would Harry take a hint? |
40583 | But whence came this topic? |
40583 | But whence had come the change? |
40583 | But where lay her power to help? |
40583 | But you do n''t suppose I go there for happiness?" |
40583 | But you do n''t walk, do you? |
40583 | But, after one step, he faced her again, and said, as though the idea had just struck him,"I say, when does Dennison come?" |
40583 | But-- but do n''t you get money for them?" |
40583 | Ca n''t you go and see him, Willie? |
40583 | Ca n''t you persuade your husband to lend you to the expedition?" |
40583 | Ca n''t you prevent them talking there together?" |
40583 | Ca n''t you take him? |
40583 | Can I live as I am living?" |
40583 | Carlin?" |
40583 | Conventions are so stupid, are n''t they? |
40583 | Could it be true what they told him-- that she was as a child in the hands of Willie Ruston? |
40583 | Could n''t you sleep?" |
40583 | Could she fill such a place in his life? |
40583 | DENNISON''S ORDERS 26 IV.--TWO YOUNG GENTLEMEN 39 V.--A TELEGRAM TO FRANKFORT 52 VI.--WHOSE SHALL IT BE? |
40583 | Dennison?" |
40583 | Dennison?" |
40583 | Dennison?" |
40583 | Dennison?" |
40583 | Dennison?" |
40583 | Did he ask it, fearing Harry''s arrival, or did he think the arrival of her husband would end an awkward position and set him free? |
40583 | Did he think her not worth telling? |
40583 | Did n''t you know?" |
40583 | Did you ever hear such a thing?" |
40583 | Did you see me on my bicycle this morning?" |
40583 | Do n''t you see? |
40583 | Do you always tell women that men care only for their money?" |
40583 | Do you know Mr. Ruston brought it to show me before it was submitted to Mr. Belford and the others-- the Board, I mean?" |
40583 | Do you know?" |
40583 | Do you mind Evan coming to dinner?" |
40583 | Do you mind coming? |
40583 | Do you think I did n''t suffer in going? |
40583 | Do you think I do n''t mind?" |
40583 | Do you think he''s coming to see you?" |
40583 | Do you think it''s all nothing to me? |
40583 | Do you want any more money?" |
40583 | Do you?" |
40583 | Does n''t Miss Valentine see? |
40583 | Does nothing shake your optimism?" |
40583 | Even now?" |
40583 | Every day?" |
40583 | For awhile he thought he would act; but how should he act? |
40583 | Forgotten the cause of her anger with him? |
40583 | Had she listened? |
40583 | Had things come straight? |
40583 | Have you seen no change in him this week? |
40583 | Have you seen the prospectus? |
40583 | He cares for himself; she is-- what would you say? |
40583 | He goes to Omofaga soon, do n''t he?" |
40583 | He had been tilting his chair back; he brought the front legs suddenly on to the ground again and asked,"Bear what?" |
40583 | He looked at her-- critically, she thought-- as he said,"The ravages of time no longer to be ignored?" |
40583 | He looked straight in her face for a moment, as he asked--"And the cause of it?" |
40583 | He paused, and added a question,"Ruston does not come back to Dieppe, I suppose?" |
40583 | He perceived that she understood him a little, but he smiled again as he asked,"Oh, but what made you do it, you know?" |
40583 | He poured it out and gave it to her, saying,"A letter from Ruston? |
40583 | He thought it----""Best? |
40583 | He''s a great-- a great man, is n''t he?" |
40583 | How can I talk to a priest? |
40583 | How could you think that of me?" |
40583 | How dare you make me talk about it?" |
40583 | How did you get across? |
40583 | How do I know? |
40583 | How should I? |
40583 | How should it be listened to? |
40583 | How should she be? |
40583 | However, what does that matter, if you beat them?" |
40583 | I hope you''re not very much annoyed?" |
40583 | I mean, why do you talk of it now?" |
40583 | I saw your husband the----""I mean, how is Omofaga?" |
40583 | I say, Haselden, do you remember what you spoke of after dinner at the Savoy the other day?" |
40583 | I suppose Maggie is very charming?" |
40583 | I suppose he told you the whole thing? |
40583 | I''m very sorry for him; but I ca n''t help it, can I?" |
40583 | If Adela were right, what could she do? |
40583 | If I care for him? |
40583 | If you were laid up now, what the deuce would become of Omofaga?" |
40583 | If you''re not there, Mr. Ruston will do something dreadful, wo n''t he? |
40583 | In love in the grand sense people talked and wrote about so much? |
40583 | Indeed, was he in love? |
40583 | Is n''t it sad?" |
40583 | Is not oneself always the most interesting subject? |
40583 | Is she so sad for nothing? |
40583 | It is you, perhaps, my friend?" |
40583 | It''s like shutting all the gates on Ascension Day( is n''t it Ascension Day? |
40583 | Lord Semingham whistled gently, and, after a pause, Adela leant forward and asked,"Do you feel quite comfortable about it?" |
40583 | Lord Semingham, when you find a woman relies on a man-- on one man only-- in trouble, what do you think?" |
40583 | Loring?" |
40583 | Loring?" |
40583 | Loring?" |
40583 | Maggie, if I hadn''t----?" |
40583 | Maggie, was there any more?" |
40583 | Maggie, you mean----?" |
40583 | Marjory ran to her crying,"Is it you, Maggie?" |
40583 | May I bring him?" |
40583 | Moreover, how did the chap live? |
40583 | Mrs. Dennison wanted to laugh; but why should she hurt his feelings? |
40583 | Now, why should I help?" |
40583 | Of course, you''ll be coming to see Maggie soon?" |
40583 | Oh, by Jove, though, I forgot; I suppose you''d be on the other side there, would n''t you?" |
40583 | Oh, if you knew what I feel when he looks at me and asks----""Asks what?" |
40583 | Oh, what''s the use of talking about it?" |
40583 | On her superstitious mood the thought flashed bright with sudden relief, and she cried beseechingly,"Who is it? |
40583 | Or do n''t you know? |
40583 | Or( and Adela smiled mockingly at this resurrection of the Old Woman), if he did do it, why did he do it for Maggie Dennison? |
40583 | Pretty straight for Tom, eh? |
40583 | Ruston''s?" |
40583 | Ruston?" |
40583 | Ruston?" |
40583 | Ruston?" |
40583 | Ruston?" |
40583 | Ruston?" |
40583 | See what? |
40583 | See what? |
40583 | Shall I come and sit by you till it''s light?" |
40583 | Shall I take that one, or should I get trodden on there?" |
40583 | Shall I take you?" |
40583 | Shall we chance it, Harry?" |
40583 | She could not tell; yes, she was glad-- surely she was glad? |
40583 | She drew her hands away, and then whispered,"And, Willie-- Harry?" |
40583 | She flashed a glance of understanding, mingled with reproach, at him, and, leaning forward again, said,"Has he come about Omofaga?" |
40583 | She had a hand on his chair, and was about to speak, when he stopped his whistling and jerked out abruptly,"What did he mean about the kingdom?" |
40583 | She laughed, and glanced at him as she asked,"Then it cost a great deal?" |
40583 | She said nothing, and, after a moment, he asked anxiously,"Do you mind much? |
40583 | She started to cross the room, when Mrs. Dennison asked her,"Do you mean to go this morning? |
40583 | She tries to make believe it''s nothing, but she''s-- oh, she''s----""Well?" |
40583 | She turned to him, saying very low,"And have n''t you found me out, too? |
40583 | She was very good- humoured to Tom Loring, but she did not fail to remind him how unreasonable he had been-- was still, was n''t he? |
40583 | Suppose you came to grief?" |
40583 | Surely, surely, some day, Lord Semingham----?" |
40583 | That the man would come? |
40583 | That''s how I could help? |
40583 | The Baron sat silent for a moment, then he said,"May I talk to you, Miss Ferrars?" |
40583 | The Baron smiled to hear him; then he asked,"Do you think she would come to see me?" |
40583 | The girl''s unspoken question seemed to echo hauntingly from every corner of the little room,"Are your lips-- clean?" |
40583 | The last words were imperative in their insistence, but all the answer Marjory made was to raise her head and ask,"Am I to go?" |
40583 | Then Semingham, with the air of a man who seeks relief from sad thoughts which can not alter sadder facts, asked,"Where are the Dennisons?" |
40583 | Then came another step-- why should he not give it up? |
40583 | Then he asked suddenly,"What about Dennisons?" |
40583 | Then he blurted out,"You''ll stay with him?" |
40583 | Then he observed,"And the other lady is Mrs. Dennison, is she?" |
40583 | Then she suddenly raised her voice, crying,"What is it to you? |
40583 | Then why do n''t you take the offer?" |
40583 | Then, with one of his quick retreats, he took refuge in asking,"Are you happy with your husband, Adela? |
40583 | Then, without glancing up, she asked,"And what''s to become of me, Willie?" |
40583 | Though was it very difficult?" |
40583 | Tom looked doubtful, but, before he could answer, Adela cried:"Oh, here''s Evan Haselden, and-- yes-- it''s Mr. Ruston with him?" |
40583 | Uncommon foggy, was n''t it?" |
40583 | WHOSE SHALL IT BE? |
40583 | Was he tender there? |
40583 | Was it human? |
40583 | Was it in thanksgiving for the escape of the night, or in joy that the morrow was already to- day? |
40583 | Was it now come to that? |
40583 | Was it very hard for you?" |
40583 | Was n''t that Bismarck''s way?" |
40583 | Was not the lower solidly based in nature, the higher a fanciful structure resting in no sound foundation? |
40583 | Was there not the railway? |
40583 | Was this the parting of the roads? |
40583 | Well, Alfred, why should n''t I say that? |
40583 | Well, he can not be happy, can he?" |
40583 | Well, we''re all in it here, sink or swim; are n''t we, Carlin?" |
40583 | Well, what would Haselden say to your idea?" |
40583 | Well----?" |
40583 | Were you asleep?" |
40583 | What are you going to do, Willie?" |
40583 | What are you going to do?" |
40583 | What can I say to a priest? |
40583 | What could you expect?" |
40583 | What did Harry Dennison say?" |
40583 | What did you take his hand for?" |
40583 | What do you want to come in again for?" |
40583 | What does it matter? |
40583 | What else should they be?" |
40583 | What have I done wrong now?" |
40583 | What is it to me?" |
40583 | What made you send?" |
40583 | What mattered their graces, their assaults, their weal or woe? |
40583 | What then? |
40583 | What was it? |
40583 | What was this joke between themselves? |
40583 | What will he say?" |
40583 | What''ll he live on?" |
40583 | What''s the matter, Adela?" |
40583 | What''s the use of my''forgiving''you for being what you are?" |
40583 | What''s the use of talking like that? |
40583 | What''s wrong with Ruston? |
40583 | What, indeed, could be done? |
40583 | What, those? |
40583 | What? |
40583 | When he asked me if I thought it good that she and-- the other-- should be together out there and he here-- well, was I to say yes?" |
40583 | When''ll you come, Tom?" |
40583 | Where are you going, Lord Semingham?" |
40583 | Where do you get them?" |
40583 | Where''s Dennison?" |
40583 | Where?" |
40583 | Who are the ladies here who talk about it?" |
40583 | Who could have escaped their assault? |
40583 | Who do you mean?" |
40583 | Who does begin to talk? |
40583 | Who for?" |
40583 | Who is there?" |
40583 | Who knows my name?" |
40583 | Who told you?" |
40583 | Who wants to influence Mr. Belford? |
40583 | Who was out there? |
40583 | Who''ll do anything for her?" |
40583 | Who?" |
40583 | Why best? |
40583 | Why ca n''t I be let alone? |
40583 | Why do n''t they like me?" |
40583 | Why do you think what-- what you think?" |
40583 | Why do you torment me? |
40583 | Why had Dennison himself bidden him to Dieppe, to come now, a fortnight later, and beg him not to go? |
40583 | Why had Tom gone away? |
40583 | Why had he done it? |
40583 | Why had she not? |
40583 | Why had this come on her, darkening bright youth? |
40583 | Why is he doing it?" |
40583 | Why is n''t Harry here?" |
40583 | Why is the British Government to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for Mr. Ruston? |
40583 | Why not most charming? |
40583 | Why protest in horror? |
40583 | Why should Dennison sell?" |
40583 | Why should he empty her life by going? |
40583 | Why should he go into banishment-- he who might go near to rule England? |
40583 | Why should it be anything to her if they had? |
40583 | Why should n''t I go back?" |
40583 | Why should you do that?" |
40583 | Why that?" |
40583 | Why was she compassed about with trouble? |
40583 | Why, what''s he doing here?" |
40583 | Will he be sorry for Marjory too?" |
40583 | Will he come? |
40583 | Will they pay?" |
40583 | Will you get in?" |
40583 | Will you give me a free hand? |
40583 | Will you stay there a minute?" |
40583 | Will you write? |
40583 | Willie Ruston raced through the rest, muttering to himself as he read,"Why the deuce did n''t he wire? |
40583 | Without looking at him or seeming to listen to his words, she asked, in low, indignant tones,"How dare he come?" |
40583 | Wo n''t you forgive me, Maggie?" |
40583 | Wo n''t you go back to your own room, Marjory?" |
40583 | Would any woman? |
40583 | Would it spoil sport or make sport if she stirred a suspicion in him? |
40583 | Would she listen? |
40583 | Would you like me to wake the footman? |
40583 | Yet Adela made no comment beyond asking,"And was n''t she right?" |
40583 | Yet both seemed to ask,"Do n''t you see?" |
40583 | Yet what difference did it make that there was still time-- to- night? |
40583 | You ca n''t imagine George Eliot----""What about Queen Elizabeth?" |
40583 | You do n''t ask me why?" |
40583 | You do n''t mean we should go on like this?" |
40583 | You heard it, Maggie?" |
40583 | You know Ruston''s been trying to get Detchmore to back him up in making a railway to Omofaga?" |
40583 | You know the doctor----?" |
40583 | You''d have heard, I suppose, if he had n''t been?" |
40583 | You''ll go and see him, though, wo n''t you?" |
40583 | You''re not worse, are you?" |
40583 | You''ve been in Omofaga?" |
40583 | You''ve had a struggle?" |
40583 | You''ve heard of him? |
40583 | and you''ll promise you wo n''t do it again, wo n''t you?" |
40583 | he cried,"why do you do this for me? |
40583 | here comes Tom Loring----How are you, Loring? |
40583 | said Harry, when the door was shut,"what''ll she say when Ruston turns up?" |
40583 | the Valentines?" |
40583 | what? |
40583 | would have expressed his companion''s feelings; but Lord Semingham only said,"Oh, really?" |
