21695Ai n''t it funny?"
21695And what of the loss?
21695Are you ready?"
21695As Mrs Crashington replied only by sobbing, he continued, after a few minutes--"Does the doctor say it''s all up, Mag?"
21695At the conclusion of a remark, he looked up in Mrs Dashwood''s puzzled face, and said,"That''s''ow it is, d''ye see?"
21695Bob, what''s up?"
21695But ought they to be asked to sacrifice so much?
21695But, I say, Bloater, d''ye think it was right to let''i m off like that?"

21695I ask you, ai n''t it right to''and a guilty man over to justice?"
21695In the first place, my friend and patron--""That''s the old gentleman with the ruddy face and the bald head?"
21695Now, Mr Sparks,_ alias_ Blazes, no doubt_ you''re_ a precious specimen of hinnocent''unmanity, ai n''t you?"
21695Only think-- what would be said to me if I was called to a fire, and did n''t go because I wanted to play with May Dashwood?"
21695Surely you would not have me stand by and look on, while he insulted you and knocked down the boy?"
21695That''s one way in which fires are raised,--ain''t it Joe?"
21695Then, turning to Mrs Dashwood,"What sort of operation is it they''re goin''to perform on Ned?"
21695They''ll have engines of course, I suppose?"
21695Thus admonished, Mr Sparks asked in a hoarse whisper,"what was up?"
21695Try to make out wot they''re up to and then--""Then wot?"
21695Useful things matches, not only for lightin''a feller''s pipe with, but also for-- well; so she_ must_ have it by to- morrow afternoon, must she?"
21695W''y wot more would you''ave, Ned?
21695Well, wot I want to know is, does Martha think as you does?"
21695What are you thinking of?"
21695Who let you out o''the cruet- stand?

21695You do n''t seem to like that?

21695You wo n''t forget?"
21695You wo n''t forget?"
21695You''ve heard o''that proverb, no doubt?"
21695are you going to jilt me?"
21695exclaimed Maggie, unable to repress her grief,"can you-- can you ever forgive me?"
21695exclaimed Sparks,"take blood out o''your husband and put it hot and livin''into Ned?
21695exclaimed the Bloater, smiting his knee with his fist,"you ca n''t_ feel_!--what have_ feelings_ to do with knowledge?
21695have you found a fire in_ this_ cupboard, as well as in the one o''the old house?"
21695repeated Ned in surprise;"why not?"
21695run you down at last, have we?"
21695what?"
21695you''re reasonable now, are you?
26875And meantime no one can use it?
26875And where anyone who wanted to could keep tabs on him pretty well, eh? 26875 And you''re going to let us look out for them?"
26875Are n''t you afraid the fire may spread this way?
26875But where''s Tom Binns?
26875Coming, Pete and Chris?
26875Could you smell it as far as this?
26875Do many trains pass here that do n''t stop?

26875Do n''t you think I can see through your game, eh?
26875Do you really think they did that?
26875Do you remember the night we got to the lake, and Jim Burroughs and Miss Benton were lost in the woods?
26875Do you think they''ll try to put the place on the bum, sir?
26875Does n''t anyone live in it?
26875Gee, Dick,said Pete,"that makes us like a couple of sure enough detectives, do n''t it?"
26875Gee, Jack, I wonder if we''ll ever get to be Patrol Leaders and Scout- Masters?
26875Gee, Jack,he said,"who''d ever guess that a sweet girl like that would have such an old curmudgeon of a father?
26875Gee,said Pete,"I thought that fire we helped to stop near the city was big enough, but this beats it all hollow, does n''t it, Jack?"
26875Gosh, but they do n''t look like the crowd that we see coming to work every morning, do they, Jack? 26875 Have n''t you got a gun, Hank?"
26875He is n''t a Scout, is he?
26875Hey, Carrots,he cried,"ai n''t you afraid of settin''yourself on fire?"
26875Hey, Tom,said one of the men, gruffly, looking at his watch,"got them tied?
26875How about the others?
26875How about when a fire just starts? 26875 How can we do that, Jack?"
26875How do those fires in the woods start, Jack?
26875How far away is the fire, Jim?
26875How will we know when we''ve gone seven miles?
26875How''s your arm, Jack?
26875How, Dick? 26875 I never said you did, did I?"
26875I wonder how that new pitcher the Raccoons have will do?
26875I wonder if that young whelp''s shammin'', or if we really knocked him out with the dope?
26875I wonder if there were only three of them?
26875In the big house in the woods there, you mean?
26875Is n''t there any way to prevent that?
26875Is that so, Pete?
26875Is there any danger of the fire coming this way, Jim?
26875Is there anyone we know in the pictures, Captain?
26875Is there no duplicate?
26875It''s been a mighty dry summer, has n''t it, Jack?
26875It''s lucky for these farmers that Mr. Durland knows a fire when he sees it, is n''t it, Jack? 26875 It''s you, is it, you young whelp?"
26875Let''s do it, Jack, shall we?
26875Looks bad, does n''t it?
26875Molly, who are these people?
26875Money? 26875 Mr. Durland says have you warned men working in the fields?"
26875Risk? 26875 Say, Jack, if fellows make that hike alone, who''s going to tell whether they really did it or not?
26875Say, would n''t it be fine to live in a place where you can go swimming all the year round, like Florida, or California, or some place like that?
26875She''s all right, is n''t she, Jack? 26875 Shovels, is it?
26875Sleepy, Pete?
26875Sure the tie will throw her off the rails?
26875Tain''t no consarn of your''n, be it?
26875That is n''t a storm, is it, coming along?
26875That''s pretty dangerous, is n''t it?
26875The one they say is haunted?
26875Then why should they have told her they could find me, if it really is I she''s looking for?
26875They ca n''t see us if we keep in the shadow, can they, Jack?
26875They have a fire patrol in some places, do n''t they?
26875They''ll be expecting us up at the Bentons, wo n''t they, Jack?
26875They''ll grow again, wo n''t they, Jack?
26875Think you can learn me my business?
26875This is almost as good as being in the militia, is n''t it, Jack?
26875Tom Binns and Pete Stubbs are devoted to him, are n''t they, Dick?
26875Want any help, Jack?
26875Watching us, Pete? 26875 Well, what do you want?
26875What do you mean, Captain?
26875What have you done with him? 26875 What next?"
26875What of it, Tom? 26875 What will we do with these shovels when we get them?"
26875What would happen if you did n''t?
26875What would you advise, Jack?
26875What''s he trying to do now?
26875What''s it like over there, Jack?
26875What''s the matter with Hudson? 26875 What''s the next station below this?"
26875What''s the time, Bo?
26875What''s the trouble here?
26875What''s wrong, Pete?
26875Where are you, honey?
26875Where shall we go, Jack?
26875Where''s Silas?
26875Who gave you leave to dig your ditch here?
26875Whose land is this, Jack?
26875Why do they call that Bald Mountain, I wonder?
26875Why does n''t Hudson answer?
26875Why not, Tom? 26875 Why, how could a ghost hurt you, Tom?
26875You did n''t strain it yesterday, did you, digging that ditch?
26875You mean I might be the one they were looking for, Dick?
26875You mean they might make an attempt at a rescue?
26875You remember Jim, the fellow that is engaged to Miss Benton, up at Eagle Lake?
26875You talk to all of them, I guess, do n''t you?
26875You think that Scout Danby is entitled to his badge, then?
26875Your friends have n''t gone off without their clothes?
26875Ai n''t everythin''we do risky?
26875Ai n''t those his clothes there?"
26875And a fine chance we''d have of ever seeing them ag''in if we let you have them, would n''t we?
26875And why does this fellow Broom, if that is really his name, have to hear this?
26875And you did n''t think I''d leave you alone here, or to go home alone, did you?
26875Be ready to slam it shut as soon as you hear me coming, will you?"
26875But wo n''t you come to see us, and perhaps you will be able to help us in our search?"
26875CHAPTER VI THE ATTACK ON THE STATION"What time does the Thunderbolt go through?"
26875Ca n''t you see that we''ve saved your farm?"
26875Can you not tell us what you know of his movements?"
26875Coming along all right with them?"
26875Do n''t you see?"
26875Do n''t you think so?"
26875Do n''t you think you could follow his example, and trust us?"
26875Do you like it?"
26875Do you suppose these people can be mixed up with that scoundrel?
26875Do you think you can keep a sharp enough lookout to be able to spot those fellows when they come in?"
26875Do you?"
26875Get''em, and bring''em here, will you?"
26875How about your other qualifications?
26875Hurt, there, sonny?"
26875I can start working for it as soon as I''m a First- Class Scout, ca n''t I?"
26875I think we''ll have to see if we ca n''t help him solve that mystery, do n''t you?"
26875If they do n''t, they''ll all be in jail anyhow, wo n''t they, Captain Haskin?"
26875Is that Broom?
26875Is that the one you dragged ashore, Jack?"
26875It seems silly, does n''t it?
26875Look at the time-- it''s the middle of the afternoon, is n''t it?
26875Now the question is what to do to prevent them from doing anything else?"
26875Now why does anyone want to know about you?
26875Now, how about you, boys?
26875Say, that''ll be a great joke on Ed Willis and those other toughs he''s got on his side, wo n''t it?"
26875Say, this is a confused affair, is n''t it?"
26875See that rock up there, that sticks out from the side of the mountain?
26875See?"

26875What do you make of that?"
26875What do you say?
26875What do you think we''d better do?"
26875What do you want?"
26875What''ll you do?"
26875Where are they now?"
26875Who are you, I''d like to know?"
26875Why do n''t you make a long hike and go up there?
26875Why not wait him out and make him pitch over the plate?"
26875Why should anyone do that?"
26875You are looking for a boy, are you not?"
26875You are not related to them, are you?"
26875You know that pretty girl, that Miss Burton, who was on the burning launch?
26875You would n''t like never to see the snow, or to be in a place where it never froze and made ice for skating, would you?"
26875Your father will meet you there, I suppose, wo n''t he?"

30453Ca n''t you send one to the Woodbridge Theater?"
30453Can you read them?"
30453Come, spit it out, and if it is n''t any better than the rest we''ve been listening to, we''ll maul you-- won''t we, fellows?"
30453Could he make it?
30453Could he make the turn?
30453Could this be done?
30453Cracky what''ll we do?
30453Dad said so, and he knows, and, say, speaking of Haystack Mountain,"added Bruce,"why not go up there for our tree?
30453Did n''t any of you see it?"
30453Did your fire make all that smoke, Romper?"
30453Do n''t it look fine, eh?
30453Do n''t you ever read the papers?"
30453Do you boys want it?
30453Do you understand?"
30453Doctair Lyman heem line run cross by that blaze over tair; you see heem, huh?
30453Elephant-- in-- in--''What the dickens is he talking about?
30453Get my idea?
30453Had Dave Connors come down the wood road, or had he gone wandering blindly through the forest to be trapped and burned to death?
30453Had he brought the scouts out on a dangerous but useless mission?
30453Had he tried to crawl to the door?
30453Had they the time to accomplish the task?
30453Has Bruce heard from Chief Blaney yet?
30453Has n''t he, gentlemen?
30453Hear''em shoutin''?
30453Hi, Buster, what did you let that fire go out for?
30453How about it?"
30453How about it?"
30453How about it?"
30453How about it?"
30453How are the wire stringers getting along?"
30453How are you?
30453How do you like that for a programme?"
30453How do you like that, boys?"
30453How does it work?
30453How does that strike you?"
30453How does that suit you?"
30453How is she to- day?
30453How long will it take''em to go the full length of the beach?"
30453How long would it be before the flames reached the office and burned the old man alive?
30453How would you like the job, boys?"
30453How would you like to be my supes?
30453How''ll that suit you fellows?"
30453How''ll we ever get him out?
30453How''s''Old Nanc''?"
30453Hurry it, will you, fellows?"
30453I believe your Northern Light was a forest fire, or-- or-- say, is n''t that smoke rising above those trees there?"
30453I could n''t get that last, could you, Bruce?"
30453I guess we''re all going to stay up and see the circus go through town, if it is n''t raining, are n''t we, fellows?"
30453I wondered if any one was caught in it, same as we were nearly caught?"
30453I-- Hi, Bruce, what''s getting you, you''re as pale as a ghost?"
30453I--""Say, Romper, is your fire really out?"
30453If I can I-- Listen, is that some one coming?
30453Is it ready to test?
30453Is it?
30453Is that the machine?
30453It all grew out of watching a vacuum cleaner, eh?
30453It also says that the female Brown Tail moth is attracted by strong lights and can be found fluttering around arc lamps almost any warm--""Does it?
30453It means-- ah-- er-- well--""Sure it does, we knew it all the time, did n''t we, Romper?"
30453McCabe?"
30453Now be honest, have you?"
30453Now where do we stand, I''d like to know?"
30453Now, slower-- what''s this idea?
30453Oh, well, we do n''t mind, do we, boys?"
30453Quarry Troop''s Christmas CHAPTER I THE MOTORCYCLE FIRE BRIGADE"By Jiminy, that was some fire for an old hay barn, was n''t it, fellows?"
30453Remember?
30453Say what can they make fifteen miles in?
30453Say, did you get your letter?"
30453Say, fellows, can it be a forest fire?
30453Say, fellows, what do you say to going down and looking over the garages before breakfast?"
30453See the lights down there by the old quarry hole?
30453See the plan?"
30453See''em-- that string of lights coming down Willow Street-- hear that rumble of the wagons?"
30453Standing at attention, Bruce saluted in regulation Boy Scout fashion and asked briefly:"Chief, can the Boy Scout Engineers take a hand in this?
30453Thanks, that looks much better, does n''t it?
30453That should help the troop''s treasury a little, eh, boys?"
30453That should make a real hit, eh, fellows?
30453The tests can be conducted up to midnight Saturday, ca n''t they?"
30453Then he added:"Sure enough, but by gollies I smell some-- I hope it isn''t-- gee, look over to the west there above the trees: Is that smoke?
30453Then turning to Nipper Knapp, he shouted,"How about the motor, Nipper?"
30453Then,"say, is Mr. Ford here?
30453Think some one is going down there and dive between his legs with your blooming old sling, do yuh?
30453Tough luck, is n''t it?"
30453Want to starve him?"
30453Was everything going to fall through at the last moment?
30453Was it a failure?
30453Was their idea only visionary, alter all?
30453We do n''t mind taking_ that_ sort of pay for a good turn, do we?"
30453We have n''t seen anything as good as this, have we?"
30453We''ll work out a regular rescue exercise, wo n''t we, fellows?"
30453Well, twenty- five acres of woods is a lot of territory, is n''t it, Bruce?"
30453Well, you came a long way to see the races, did n''t you?"
30453What do you mean by a city flag?
30453What do you say?
30453What do you think of the scout''s invention?
30453What do you want, provisions, matches?
30453What does it mean?
30453What for, I wonder?
30453What had happened?
30453What shall I ever do?
30453What you zink of zat?"
30453What''s the matter, Romper?"
30453What''s the matter?"
30453When''ll we start?"
30453Where are the rest of the fellows?"
30453Where are you going to test it?"
30453Where does it say they like strong light?"
30453Where was he?
30453Where--?"
30453Where?
30453Who could be other than happy with Christmas but a week off?
30453Who knows?
30453Who wants to go along?"
30453Why should this be taken from me, too?
30453Why you do n''t fix heem camp up good?
30453Will he?
30453Wo n''t tell a soul until we get a chance to spring a surprise on the whole town, eh, fellows?"
30453Wo n''t you, boys?"
30453Would he?
30453Would the boom hold?
30453Would the truck stay on all four wheels or would it go plunging on madly, end over end, into the lake?
30453Would they be trapped by it?
30453Wow; were there ever fellows as lucky as we are?
30453You fellows be sure and report for duty, will you?"
30453demanded Bruce,"what letter?"
30453how about the blasting mat sling-- is it finished?"
30453is she alive-- really-- honest-- Nanny Haskell-- boy, you''re sure?"
30453roared the furious manager,"but how in tarnation are you going to get it_ under_ his belly?
30453want to freeze us out?"
30453what shall I do?"
30453what was that word?
6114A cistern? 6114 A picnic?"
6114A prisoner? 6114 About water?
6114Ah, how d''ye do, Bert?
6114All ready, now, boys?
6114And where''s the money coming from?
6114Any of''em hurt?
6114Are all the cattle out?
6114Are you all ready?
6114Are you going to arrest Chester?
6114Are you still talking about your force pump?
6114At the Stockton mansion?
6114Bert, ca n''t you go there and make a speech?
6114Blaze? 6114 But what about this queer message?"
6114But what makes you think he is a criminal?
6114But who could be imprisoned there?
6114But, fellows, what do you think of the plan?
6114Ca n''t something be done to save the barn?
6114Ca n''t you borrow a horse and drive it over?
6114Ca n''t you throw any more water on?
6114Can I help you, Bert?
6114Can you do anything?
6114Cattle? 6114 Cole, do you know about how much the authorities at Jamesville would want for their old engine?"
6114Could it have been the old housekeeper?
6114Did he say anything about our boys''department?
6114Did you get burned any?
6114Do any of you fellows know him?
6114Do n''t you favor this?
6114Do n''t you see what I mean? 6114 Do n''t you?
6114Do you boys want to buy it?
6114Do you get any letters for him?
6114Do you know whether they will sell it?
6114Do you suppose he has gambling games in that house?
6114Do you think the boys will like this new plan, Bert?
6114Do you think those horses will jump out there?
6114Do you think you can save part of it?
6114Do you want to be sunk in the deepest part of the lake? 6114 Goin''to drive the horses through?"
6114Going to help put the fire out?
6114Going to parade, Moses?
6114Have n''t you any insurance?
6114Here, where are you boys going?
6114How are the engines, boys?
6114How are you getting on?
6114How do you account for that?
6114How else can we do it?
6114How much?
6114How you goin''to do it?
6114How''s that for the new department?
6114How''s that?
6114How''s that?
6114How''s the fire business?
6114How''s the machine, Vincent?
6114How''s your burn?
6114How?
6114How?
6114However in the world did the boys get it? 6114 I wonder if I could n''t send a letter to him?
6114I wonder if I ever shall see him again?
6114I wonder if Mr. Stockton knows about our new department?
6114I wonder if Mr. Stockton knows it?
6114I wonder if it could have been done by Mort Decker? 6114 I wonder if the town will take any action toward having a regular department now?"
6114I wonder if there''s anything more we can save?
6114I wonder if they can throw a stream as far as my force pump?
6114I wonder if they''re going to keep the engine?
6114I wonder if we can beat those fellows?
6114I wonder if we could n''t get permission to have the church bell rung?
6114I wonder what his plan is?
6114I wonder what it means? 6114 I wonder who in this place can want a stenographer and typewriter?"
6114I wonder who in this town would want a stenographer and typewriter?
6114I wonder why he does n''t shout for the bucket brigade now?
6114In his arms? 6114 Is n''t the hose long enough to reach from there?"
6114Is n''t there an end door?
6114Is the barn insured?
6114Is the fire out? 6114 May I go with you?"
6114Mr. Stimson''s barn? 6114 Muchmore would n''t have tossed out a message like that, I suppose?"
6114My force---"Ai n''t the bucket brigade going to run things?
6114Not take in the men? 6114 Oh, this burn?
6114Parade? 6114 Pretty heavy loss, ai n''t it, neighbor Stimson?"
6114Prisoner?
6114Queer? 6114 Say, have n''t you got anything else to talk about except that force pump?"
6114Shall we start in, Bert?
6114So, that''s why you were there, eh? 6114 So, this is a trick by one of you young rascals, is it?"
6114Suppose I refuse to go?
6114Then do n''t you forward them?
6114Then he is a gambler?
6114Then if I hear an alarm from the church bell I suppose you do n''t want me to call you?
6114Then if I wrote a letter to Mr. Stockton, you do n''t think he''d get it?
6114Then what can it be?
6114Then where is he?
6114Threw him overboard?
6114Well, Herbert,said his mother that night,"you have n''t had much use of your new engine, have you?"
6114Well, I wonder where we''ll be, if they have a regular department?
6114Well, boys, all ready for a blaze?
6114Well?
6114Were you smoking there?
6114What are we going to do?
6114What are we going to do?
6114What are you doing here? 6114 What are you doing, Herbert?"
6114What are you going to do?
6114What can we do about it?
6114What did you do?
6114What did you tell him?
6114What do you make of it?
6114What do you mean, Herbert?
6114What for? 6114 What for?"
6114What for?
6114What good are buckets in a blaze like that? 6114 What good''ll that do?"
6114What has he got in his arms?
6114What have you to say?
6114What is it, Herbert?
6114What is it, Herbert?
6114What is it?
6114What is it?
6114What is that?
6114What is this?
6114What kind?
6114What plan is it?
6114What right have you to be prying into my affairs? 6114 What will you do?"
6114What''d he want; more help?
6114What''ll we do now?
6114What''s that for?
6114What''s that for?
6114What''s that?
6114What''s the good of a department if you have n''t got an engine?
6114What''s the matter with paying the boys for theirs?
6114What''s the matter, boys? 6114 What''s the use of talking?
6114What, and increase the taxes to pay for it? 6114 What?
6114What?
6114When are you going to do it?
6114Where are the ropes?
6114Where are you from?
6114Where are you going to get the engine?
6114Where are you going?
6114Where are you going?
6114Where are you working? 6114 Where did you get it?"
6114Where is a well or cistern?
6114Where is the blaze?
6114Where we going to get our water?
6114Where will we get water?
6114Where will you stay to- night?
6114Where''s the fire?
6114Where''s the key?
6114Where?
6114Who are you? 6114 Who are you?"
6114Who are you?
6114Who are you?
6114Who told you he was a gambler?
6114Who was that fellow?
6114Who wrote it?
6114Who''s runnin''this here fire, I''d like to know?
6114Who?
6114Whose boat is that?
6114Whose place is it? 6114 Why did n''t you bring it along?"
6114Why do n''t you come around front and closer?
6114Why do n''t you do it, then?
6114Why do n''t you mind your own business?
6114Why do n''t you take a hand yourself?
6114Why do n''t you throw the water on the flames, instead of on the ground?
6114Why does n''t he give the word?
6114Why not?
6114Why, mother?
6114Will they see the old engine?
6114Will you, really? 6114 Wonder what he''s doing around here?"
6114Yes, but those uniforms are dear, are n''t they?
6114Yes; but how did you know?
6114Yes; but what?
6114You do n''t expect it''s going to put itself out, do you?
6114You do, eh?
6114You do? 6114 You know how to handle horses, do n''t you?"
6114Your nephew? 6114 All we want to know is, what will become of our department?
6114Appelby?"
6114But did n''t he come out of the Stockton boathouse?"
6114But how are things at the house of mystery?
6114But what do you make of this message?"
6114But what shall I say?"
6114But would the frightened horses leap to safety?
6114CHAPTER VI THE FIRST RUN"How are we going to get it home?"
6114CHAPTER X MYSTERIOUS ACTIONS"Where is it?"
6114Can you boys get them out?"
6114Could the engine be held for us, for a few weeks?"
6114Did n''t we put out the fire at Sim Rockford''s, one day, about two years ago?"
6114Did the bell ring long before you called me?"
6114Do you know his address?"
6114Goin''--to-- the-- fire?"
6114Going swimming or fishing?"
6114Had I better tell the authorities?"
6114Have you discovered anything new?"
6114Have you seen him?
6114How about you?"
6114How do you mean?"
6114How many are in the barn?"
6114How-- could-- I-- when-- it''s-- fast-- on-- the-- cistern?"
6114I am a priso""What''s that last word?"
6114I wonder what Mr. Bergman meant when he said he''d not forget what we did for him?"
6114I wonder what he wants to tell me to- night?
6114I wonder who he was?"
6114In town here?"
6114Is it a joke; or something serious?"
6114Oh, why did he go back?
6114Out for a practice drill?"
6114Say, Vincent, do you know where it is?"
6114Stimson?"
6114Stockton?"
6114Suppose some of the horses should run away and trample on you?
6114The owner of this place?"
6114Tom?
6114Was n''t it queer old Sagger''s place should catch fire?"
6114We have n''t had much use of it lately, have we?"
6114Were you there?"
6114What are you?"
6114What do you think?"
6114What for?"
6114What you going to do?"
6114What''s that?"
6114What''s that?"
6114What''s the matter with buying the second- hand engine of Jamesville?"
6114What''s the matter?"
6114Where are we going to keep it?"
6114Where is he?
6114Where is it, Herbert?"
6114Who is he?"
6114Whom would you have, then?"
6114Why arc you in there?"
6114Why did you warn me away?"
6114Why not?
6114Will you come?"
6114Wonder who''s in it?"
6114Would he get a sight of the prisoner held there?
6114Would he jump?
6114You will not let him shut me up again, will you?"
6114your friends-- the boys you play ball with?"
1363A chance? 1363 A dye company?"
1363All ready up there?
1363All ready, Tom?
1363And did you?
1363And may I have another cup of tea?
1363And what do you propose doing with it?
1363And when they do will he be able to see?
1363And wo n''t the elevators come for us?
1363And you believe they have yours?
1363Any idea what it is, Ned?
1363Any special object in view?
1363Anybody hurt around here?
1363Anything special on?
1363Are there any fire escapes at your windows?
1363Are there any killed?
1363Are they Field and Melling?
1363Are you going into that line, Tom?
1363Are you going to have a second test, Tom?
1363Are you going to put out any more tree fires?
1363Are you ready to accept contracts for putting out skyscraper blazes in all big cities?
1363Are you sure we shall not have to make another forced landing?
1363Burned in the fire?
1363But did I hear you say they are embarking on a dye enterprise?
1363But do you suppose his plant is large enough to enable me to work there until mine is in shape again?
1363But how are you going to get your chemicals in at the top? 1363 But how did they get here?"
1363But if he lives all alone will it be safe to leave him in his house?
1363But if you have n''t anything new to give them, of what use is it?
1363But was any one in the building?
1363But what makes you so serious?
1363But what of my future? 1363 But where are the crows, and what started the fire?"
1363By the way, what are they doing to this building? 1363 Ca n''t we get down the stairs?"
1363Ca n''t you drop the bomb containers accurately in a wind?
1363Can I do anything for you?
1363Can you give her the rest of the load?
1363De same one whut fizzed up, an''--an''busted me in de eyes, Massa Tom?
1363Did n''t they?
1363Did n''t you have any insurance? 1363 Did we hit it?"
1363Did you call on Mr. Keith when you went to Newmarket with Mary?
1363Do n''t you understand?
1363Do you hear one of the cylinders missing, Ned?
1363Do you mean Amos Field and Jason Melling of the fireworks firm?
1363Do you really think they have them-- actually have the formulae?
1363Do you think he is worse hurt than appears? 1363 Do you think he''ll ever get better, Tom?"
1363Do you think it will be much worse?
1363Do you think you''ve hit on the right combination?
1363Does he say he lost them in the fire of our factory?
1363For long?
1363Go for a ride? 1363 Going away?"
1363Had n''t we better get him into the house, Doctor?
1363Has anything happened? 1363 Has anything happened?"
1363Has n''t some relative of Mary''s an office there, Tom?
1363Have you anything special to do, Tom?
1363Have you my formulae?
1363How about leaving me out?
1363How about you, Ned?
1363How did you get here?
1363How did you happen to be in the building?
1363How is he?
1363How is her uncle, Barton Keith, by the way?
1363How is it?
1363How is that? 1363 How-- how did they get here?"
1363I do n''t know this place, do you, Tom?
1363I''ll be all right presently, and can go home, though-- Oh, well, what''s the use?
1363In what way?
1363In what way?
1363Is Rad worse? 1363 Is Rad-- has anything happened-- shall I get the doctor?"
1363Is anything broken, Tom?
1363Is everything all right, Ned?
1363Is he associated with you?
1363Is he otherwise injured?
1363Is it any of our buildings?
1363Is it-- does it mean danger?
1363Is n''t that where Field and Melling are now?
1363Is n''t that where Field and Melling hang out?
1363Is n''t there a back way down, Uncle Barton?
1363Is n''t there any way out of this fire trap?
1363Is the world turning upside down, Tom, when fires start in this fashion?
1363Is there anything we can do-- any hospital to which we can send him for special treatment?
1363Is this a restaurant-- an inn?
1363Killed?
1363Mad?
1363Mah ole mule, Boomerang-- does yo''''member him, Massa Tom?
1363May I ask the make of it? 1363 No?
1363Of what use to live?
1363Of what-- your new aerial fire fighting apparatus?
1363Oh, Tom, was it your new machine?
1363Oh, have n''t I? 1363 Oh, is yo''goin'', Massa Tom?"
1363Oh, the doctor says he''ll be able to decide about Rad''s eyesight tomorrow, does he?
1363Oh, what ever would we have done without you?
1363Oh, yes, they''re in the same building with Mr. Keith, are n''t they? 1363 Or ca n''t you get them from that Frenchman?"
1363Rad-- he-- he--"Has anything happened?
1363Run?
1363Say, we had some exciting times on that undersea search, did n''t we?
1363Scared?
1363Settles what, Tom?
1363Shall we let them all go at once, Tom?
1363Something new, eh, Tom?
1363Suppose they never come?
1363That was the last of them, was n''t it, Ned?
1363The Swift-- Tom Swift?
1363The doctor will know tomorrow, will he?
1363Then why go closer?
1363Then you want me, and perhaps Mr. Damon to take the stuff up in the machine? 1363 Want to come?"
1363Was I?
1363Was he-- Who was the young lady? 1363 Was the safe destroyed?"
1363We''ll go right over Newmarket, sha''n''t we, Tom?
1363Well, Tom, how goes it?
1363Well, are you all ready, Mary?
1363Well, how goes it?
1363Well, if you''re so anxious to work, Dad, why not give me a hand with my fire extinguisher chemical?
1363Well, to resume where we left off,began Ned, when he and Tom were once more by themselves,"what''s the game?"
1363Well?
1363Were your formulae for the manufacture of fireworks?
1363What about?
1363What are the crowds doing?
1363What are you doing, Tom?
1363What are you going to do, Tom?
1363What are you going to do, Tom?
1363What are you going to do?
1363What are you going to do?
1363What became of it?
1363What can he do?
1363What can you do about it?
1363What caused it?
1363What did happen?
1363What did they''put over''on poor Baxter?
1363What did you do that put out the fire?
1363What do you feel like eating?
1363What do you mean?
1363What do you mean?
1363What do you suppose he means, Tom, saying that Field and Melling stole his formulae?
1363What good will it do?
1363What has that to do with it-- I mean as far as the working of your chemical extinguisher is concerned?
1363What has that to do with it?
1363What have you been doing, and what''s all that white stuff on your coat?
1363What is it?
1363What is their game?
1363What is your next move?
1363What more do you want than this?
1363What sent that blaze to the happy hunting grounds?
1363What strange talk is this?
1363What then?
1363What was it?
1363What''s the idea?
1363What''s the idea?
1363What''s the matter with your aunt, Mary? 1363 What''s the matter, Tom?"
1363What''s the matter, Tom?
1363What''s the matter, Tom?
1363What''s the matter? 1363 What''s the matter?"
1363What''s the matter?
1363What''s the trouble now?
1363What''s the use of talking? 1363 What''s this I hear?
1363What''s this? 1363 What''s this?"
1363What-- what''s the matter?
1363What?
1363When are you coming home, Mary?
1363When are you going to try it?
1363Where are you aiming for now?
1363Where are you going to get the fire?
1363Where are you worst hurt, Rad?
1363Where do you reckon it is?
1363Where does he live?
1363Where is he, and what''s the matter?
1363Where''s that?
1363Where?
1363Which means what?
1363Who could be writing to me? 1363 Who is he?"
1363Who is he?
1363Who sees the light of day?
1363Who''s going to drop the stuff-- Koku?
1363Who?
1363Who?
1363Whose trail? 1363 Whut de doctor man done say, Massa Tom?"
1363Why do n''t you go over to see Mr. Damon? 1363 Why do n''t you play safe?"
1363Why is it necessary always to fight a fire with water?
1363Why not ask Mr. Baxter to help you?
1363Why? 1363 Why?"
1363Why?
1363Will there be any smell?
1363Will yo'', really, Massa Tom?
1363Yes, but how are you going to do it, when you ca n''t even prove that they have them?
1363Yes?
1363You are n''t taking any chances, are you, Tom?
1363You are sure you''ll have my formulae in the morning?
1363You do?
1363You have n''t delved much into chemistry, have you?
1363You have offices here, have n''t you?
1363You mean another experiment?
1363You mean that he-- that he may go blind?
1363You saw what trouble they had this evening to get a stream of water to the top stories of that factory, did n''t you?
1363You still think they took your dye formulae?
1363You''ll not dare cross it too low down, will you?
1363Am dat-- dat big-- dat big nice man heah now?"
1363And as he directed his car as close as was safe to the blazing car, Mr. Damon asked:"Are you going to put out that fire for them, Tom?"
1363And is Eradicate going to get better?"
1363And this, as I understand it, does n''t include what was taken from the wreck of the Pandora?"
1363And while they are thus temporarily hidden may not this opportunity be taken of telling new readers something of the hero of this story?
1363Are you Field and Melling?"
1363Are you able to do anything here?"
1363Are you sure you''re all right, Mary?"
1363Bad news?"
1363Baxter?"
1363Bring the runabout here, will you please, Ned?"
1363But Eradicate caught the sound of his young employer''s footsteps and called:"Yo''goin'', Massa Tom?"
1363But are you sure they took the papers which meant so much to you?"
1363But of course to go out and buy what I need--""Oh I guess we can stand that, ca n''t we, Dad?"
1363But what are you going to do now, Tom?
1363But what do you think of this combination, Mr. Baxter?
1363But what in the name of a volunteer fire department set that tree to blazing, Tom?"
1363But what shall I order for you?"
1363But what''s that smoke down there?"
1363By the way,"he went on, turning to Mr. Baxter,"are you any nearer fastening the guilt on those two rascals, Field and Melling?"
1363CHAPTER III TOM''S NEW IDEA"What''s the matter with him, Doctor?"
1363CHAPTER IV AN EXPERIMENT"That ca n''t be Koku and Rad in one of their periodic squabbles, can it?"
1363CHAPTER IX SUSPICIONS"What''s that?"
1363CHAPTER XXI THE LIGHT IN THE SKY"Well, what do you say, Tom?"
1363CHAPTER XXV THE LIGHT OF DAY"What''s that?
1363Can you get that engine to work?"
1363Can you help me prove anything against them?"
1363Can you run over?"
1363Damon?"
1363Did those men who just left come in a car?"
1363Did you know it was here?"
1363Do n''t you want to try your new apparatus on it?"
1363Do you want an ambulance, Doctor?"
1363Does yo''''member dat?"
1363Has Mary broken the engagement?"
1363Has n''t he, Koku?"
1363Have n''t you seen it?"
1363How are you going to work it?"
1363How is he, Doctor?"
1363How is he?"
1363How?"
1363I jest wanted to ast if yo''done''membered de time mah mule Boomerang got stuck in de road, an''yo''could n''t git past in yo''auto?
1363Is Rad''s case hopeless?"
1363Is he dying, and is his mind wandering?"
1363Is it going to catch fire?"
1363Is it really true, Koku?"
1363Is my father all right, Rad?"
1363Is n''t it a delightful place, Tom?
1363Is n''t there light enough at a blaze, anyhow?"
1363Is there a garage near here?
1363Is there any word you want to send to Uncle Barton?"
1363Is there anything you want?"
1363Is there more trouble with his eyes?"
1363Is yo''goin''off after mo''diamonds, or up to de caves of ice?"
1363Nestor?"
1363Newton?"
1363Now what do you want for dessert?"
1363Shoot''em up through a hose?
1363Short circuit?"
1363So Field and Melling have their offices there?"
1363Suppose I leave you to yourself for a time, Mr. Baxter?
1363Swift?"
1363There was a look on the face of the chemist that caused Tom to exclaim with a good deal of concern:"What''s the matter?"
1363Want to come?"
1363Want to go over it now?"
1363We do n''t have to jump out, do we?"
1363What do you know?
1363What have you been doing?
1363What is it-- your barns or one of your new shops?"
1363What new line of endeavor are you going to aim at?"
1363What then?"
1363What''s it all about?"
1363What''s this?"
1363Why do they call it the Landmark?
1363Will you come along?
1363Would success or failure attend the young inventor''s project?
1363Would the fumes of the liberated chemicals choke the fire, or would it burn on in spite of them?
1363Your dye formulae here in my office?"
1363but what is the matter?
1363ca n''t we do something?"
1363exclaimed Mr. Damon,"what do you want with a searchlight at a fire, Tom?
1363he suddenly cried,"why not ask him to help you?"
1363shouted Mr. Damon,"are we going through that awful furnace again?"
1363what does this mean?"
1363what happened, Tom?"
1363what has happened?"
1363what''s this I hear?"
1363whut''s use worryin''?"
33242Afraid to get here ahead of time, eh?
33242Ai n''t one fire in twenty- four hours enough for you?
33242Ai n''t there anythin''we can do to stop you from tryin''to run Jip down?
33242Ai n''t there anything I can do to help the poor feller out of the scrape?
33242Ai n''t we here on time?
33242Ai n''t you fellers slingin''a terrible lot of style?
33242Ai n''t you''fraid he''ll be mad if he finds you in there?
33242All hands of us swelling, and our kid rushing around at the head with patched trousers? 33242 Am I in it?"
33242And are you allowing to adopt this''ere kid who is setting himself up as a firebug?
33242And write?
33242And you were figuring on that same thing when you stayed here until eight o''clock last night, eh?
33242Are the men always practising?
33242Are they new clothes, sir?
33242Are we goin''to stay here all night?
33242Are you a fireman already?
33242Are you certain that can be done?
33242Are you claimin''to be posted in the fire business, an''do n''t know things like that are given to men who save folks from bein''burned up?
33242Are you goin''to act jest like as if you was a reg''lar fireman?
33242Are you hurt?
33242Are you reckonin''on stayin''there till you catch him?
33242Are you sure he''s over in Philadelphy?
33242At anything special, sir?
33242But how can you help it if you build the fire right close to the door, when there''s no other way for''em to get out?
33242But how''ll he get back?
33242But if Sam''s here with money in his pocket, how shall we stop him from workin''up the case?
33242But of course I''ll sleep at Mrs. Hanson''s same''s I''ve been doin''?
33242But what about us? 33242 But what am I to do''bout this money he borrowed from Joe Carter?"
33242But what does he know about the detective business?
33242But why are you here, Mr. Davis? 33242 But you do n''t allow folks can go''round settin''fire to houses an''tryin''to burn other people up without havin''to pay for it?"
33242Ca n''t I stay till Ninety- four pulls out?
33242Can Sam Barney have him arrested?
33242Care? 33242 Did Josh really put you into physical training as quick as this?"
33242Did n''t I get Jip Collins arrested?
33242Did n''t they give you any lessons in the school?
33242Did n''t you ever go to school, Amateur?
33242Did n''t you find Sam?
33242Did you hear any of Ninety- four''s men say so?
33242Did you make all that to- day?
33242Do n''t you know any better''n to break up what a feller''s fixin''?
33242Do n''t you know you''re liable to be arrested for doing anything of that sort?
33242Do n''t you know?
33242Do n''t you s''pose I know that after all this time?
33242Do n''t you s''pose they''ve got sense enough to wake up before the thing gets too far along?
33242Do the men really work as hard there as they do at a fire?
33242Do they keep you humpin''on the odd jobs, Amateur?
33242Do they, Amateur? 33242 Do you allow he''ll run straight after this?"
33242Do you go around working for thanks?
33242Do you know how he happened to nab him?
33242Do you know where he is?
33242Do you mean Jip? 33242 Do you mean that I''m goin''to school now?"
33242Do you mean that we''re to hire a reg''lar room?
33242Do you mean to say we''re goin''to range a decent house? 33242 Do you mean to say you''re willin''he should burn the shed an''come pretty nigh killin''you?"
33242Do you mean you''re hankering to run to a fire with them good clothes on?
33242Do you mean''cause of what was done last night, Dan?
33242Do you really mean that?
33242Do you really think I stand a better chance of gettin''into the Department because of tryin''to pull the kid through?
33242Do you reckon they believe you''re a detective?
33242Do you s''pose I count on shinin''boots for a livin''all my life?
33242Do you s''pose he could find any one chump enough to lend him money?
33242Do you s''pose he stayed on the street after that?
33242Do you s''pose he''s countin''on doin''this all alone?
33242Do you s''pose he''s countin''on findin''Jip Collins in that fool way?
33242Do you s''pose we ought''er thank Mr. Davis now for findin''the room for us?
33242Do you think you could keep things in proper shape here? 33242 Feeling pretty good this morning, ai n''t you, kid?"
33242Feeling rather sore?
33242Fine? 33242 Found you plenty of work, eh?"
33242Gettin''scared, eh?
33242Going to strike for Seth while the iron''s hot, eh?
33242Got to do it now? 33242 Had a bath this morning?"
33242Had your breakfast?
33242Have n''t got any folks, eh?
33242Have you been here all that time?
33242Have you been with Ninety- four''s crew at this''ere fire, or not?
33242Have you done anythin''yet?
33242Have you given it up?
33242Have you got enough to buy your breakfast with?
33242Have you got the feller yet what stole your money?
33242Have you seen him since he did this terrible fine piece of detective work?
33242Have you seen_ him_?
33242Have you_ got_ to get Jip arrested?
33242He ai n''t on at headquarters Sunday, is he?
33242He did n''t mean a word of it; did you, Jip? 33242 Hello, where are you fellers goin''?"
33242How are you countin''on gettin''your ticket to come back?
33242How are you feelin''this mornin'', kid?
33242How are you feeling, kid?
33242How did he get a chance to do anything like that?
33242How did he happen to be here instead of at headquarters?
33242How did you find it out?
33242How did you get along at headquarters?
33242How did you hear of it so soon?
33242How did''Lish Davis swell''round?
33242How do you count on keepin''awake?
33242How do you know that?
33242How do you mean?
33242How does that fit in with the lesson you read to him?
33242How long are you goin''to keep up sich a racket as that?
33242How long since you turned out?
33242How much did that lay- out cost you last night?
33242How much money have you got laid up?
33242How much will it cost?
33242How will you get another outfit?
33242How''d you get in?
33242How''s Jip gettin''along?
33242How?
33242I can take care of myself as well as you, an''if I do n''t knock''round when there''s a fire, how am I ever goin''to learn the business?
33242I do n''t see very much of you, an''perhaps----"You''re reckoning that we may get a call, and you''ll have the chance to go out with us?
33242I do n''t suppose I could sneak in?
33242I made pretty near forty cents, an''it''s kind''er tough if a feller ca n''t spend fifteen of it, eh?
33242I s''pose we sha n''t see very much of you now you''re gettin''so high up in the Department, eh?
33242I s''pose you think you''re pretty nigh the only feller in this town?
33242I s''pose you''d have gone in there if you was wearing the finest coat ever made, eh?
33242I suppose Sam still holds to it that he''ll pull Jip in?
33242I suppose you had n''t thought you might be needing something to eat?
33242I thought''Lish Davis said he''d have his eye out so''s you could n''t get into the fire lines?
33242I''d like to know why?
33242I''d like to know why?
33242I''d like to know, sir, if I''m to be allowed to pay for these clothes when I get so I can earn money enough?
33242If such was the case, would you admit it?
33242If you ai n''t scared, what are you makin''a row''bout now? 33242 Is Sam Barney still on my trail?"
33242Is he the only feller who owes you anythin''?
33242Is it a bad fire?
33242Is it all over?
33242Is it me they mean?
33242Is that what you call a habit?
33242It''s Dan Roberts, of course, an''I was----"Are you acquainted with the prisoner?
33242It''s coming kind of tough on Ninety- four, eh, Jerry?
33242It''s too late to tackle the job to- night; but what''s to stop all three of us from goin''to the Erie Basin after Sam Barney leaves town? 33242 Kind- er late this mornin'', eh?"
33242Little fidgety about to- morrow''s work?
33242Look here, Sam, s''posen it turns out that you do n''t find Jip, how''ll you get home?
33242Look here, Seth, what kind of a stiff are you tryin''to give me?
33242Mr. Davis took a lawyer there?
33242No; is he goin''to the court?
33242Not sure whether you''re feeling good or not?
33242Now see here, Seth Bartlett, what''s the sense of talkin''that way? 33242 Now, see here, mister, Jip never''d done that----""Where were you?"
33242Now, then, Amateur, what are you staring at? 33242 Now, what''s the matter with my doin''a little thing like that?
33242Of course I''ll black boots here same as I''ve allers done?
33242Of course, we may be in the wrong as to that, but if we ai n''t, how''ll you live? 33242 Oh, has he gone over there?"
33242Oh, you did, eh? 33242 Oh, you do n''t, eh?
33242Sam says Jip is in Philadelphy; now, s''posen all hands chipped in enough to buy a ticket for him to go there? 33242 See here, Amateur, how much money have you on hand?"
33242See here, Seth, are you countin''on keepin''that racket up?
33242See here, ai n''t I a detective?
33242Seen Sam Barney to- day?
33242Shall I have any chance to see you?
33242So Jip Collins had sand enough to try an''burn us out, did n''t he?
33242So the letter is for you, even though you never received one before?
33242So we did, sir; but we met Jip Collins, an''----"The kid who started the fire in the lumber- yard?
33242Something been going on that we have n''t heard?
33242Stuck on the business, eh?
33242Sure you''re all right?
33242That kid has got sand, eh?
33242That''s what----The attorney interrupted him by asking as before:"What is your name?"
33242Them as do n''t know their business gets left; but we have n''t got in with that crowd, eh, William?
33242Then how does it happen he let anybody go through him?
33242Then if we talk smooth he stands a better chance, eh?
33242Then there''s nothin''for the poor fellow but to go up the river?
33242Then what are you goin''up this way for?
33242Then why did n''t you''tend to it when you first came in?
33242Then you believe he''d work''round and be a decently square kind of a boy if he got out of this scrape?
33242Then you did n''t have any row?
33242Then you do n''t feel like backin''out yet?
33242Then you will keep the officers from arrestin''him?
33242There''s a brick building butts up against the back end of that lot, so your only chance of getting out would be to come through the lumber- yard?
33242They tell me you''re counting on being a fireman one of these days?
33242They''re beginnin''to find out that I''m no slouch of a detective after all, hey?
33242We''ve got the money, sir,Seth replied;"but seein''''s we belong to Ninety- four jest now, why ca n''t we stay till she pulls out?"
33242Well, how did you sleep last night?
33242Well, how do you like it so far''s you''ve gone?
33242Well, s''pose he has? 33242 Well, s''posen I am?"
33242Well, s''posen they should? 33242 Well, sha n''t I be in time-- and not such a terrible long while either?
33242Well, what are you doing here so early? 33242 Well, what do you think of it?"
33242Well, what have you done with your firebug?
33242Well,Seth said after a brief reflection,"if you ca n''t help him, what''s the use of standin''here?"
33242Well,he cried, stepping directly in front of the boys,"what do you think_ now_''bout my bein''a detective?"
33242Were they to wait there for me?
33242Wha-- wha-- what?
33242What about the fire?
33242What are you countin''on doin''right now?
33242What are you counting on wearing?
33242What are you doing here?
33242What are you goin''to do to- morrow?
33242What did he say''bout givin''Joe Carter sich a yarn?
33242What did he say?
33242What do you call home now the carpenter- shop has gone up in smoke?
33242What do you do to the company?
33242What do you mean by arson?
33242What do you mean by takin''up the case?
33242What do_ you_ want of Jip?
33242What does that''mount to? 33242 What is it to you, so long as we''re satisfied?"
33242What is it you''ve been gettin''up, Bill?
33242What kind of a blow- out do you mean?
33242What kind of a detective do you allow I am if I do n''t know that? 33242 What makes him sell it so cheap?"
33242What things?
33242What would be the use? 33242 What would you do if you should meet him right here this very minute?"
33242What you been doin''?
33242What''s he waitin''for?
33242What''s makin''you so foolish all of a sudden? 33242 What''s that?"
33242What''s the matter?
33242What''s the news''bout Seth?
33242What''s the reason you have n''t got as much of a one with me as you had with Seth? 33242 What''s the use of givin''anything away when folks are howlin''''bout your bein''so brave?
33242What''s the use of that?
33242What''s to be done with the kid who started the fire?
33242What? 33242 What?
33242What?
33242When are you willin''I should come?
33242Where are the medals to be presented?
33242Where are we goin''?
33242Where are we goin''?
33242Where are you counting on sleeping to- night?
33242Where do you count on starting the fire?
33242Where is the exhibition to be held?
33242Where was Dan an''Bill when they sent you to tell me?
33242Where were you when he set fire to the shed in Baxter''s lumber- yard?
33242Where you goin''?
33242Where''s Teddy?
33242Where''s the baby?
33242Where''s your father?
33242Who asked you to? 33242 Who did you think was in the alley?"
33242Who? 33242 Who?
33242Who?
33242Why could n''t I black boots at odd times?
33242Why did n''t he come back on the next train if everybody was ready to lend him money?
33242Why did n''t you stay there?
33242Why do n''t somebody send in an alarm?
33242Why do n''t you come with me?
33242Why do n''t you hunt him up?
33242Why do n''t you kind er loaf here till they have hitched up, an''perhaps we''ll get another chance to stay in the engine- house?
33242Why do n''t you leave this place for two or three days, and find some other quarters?
33242Why do n''t you tackle her?
33242Why not have it settled now?
33242Why not, if it comes cheap enough? 33242 Why not?
33242Why not?
33242Why not?
33242Why not?
33242Why not?
33242Why should n''t I be? 33242 Why, how did you know where he was?"
33242Why, how''d he raise the money?
33242Why, in the shed, of course, we----"Had you heard the prisoner threaten to set fire to the shed?
33242Why?
33242Will Ninety- four''s men be there?
33242Will he get out of the scrape?
33242Will that settle matters for me?
33242Will you come up to the Basin?
33242Will you wear your uniform?
33242Wo n''t, eh? 33242 Would you be willin''to send a feller to jail so''s you might get ahead in the business?"
33242Would you turn tinker, or tailor, or candlestick- maker, Jerry Walters, in order to avoid risking your life two or three times a day?
33242Yell for the perlice, will yer? 33242 Yes, I did, an''of course you can have me sent up the river for it; but what good will that do you?
33242Yes, sir; but I do n''t s''pose it can make much difference if I''m here a little before time,''cause then I''ll get more done, do n''t you see?
33242Yes, that I know, else I would n''t be standing on my feet this minute; but suppose you had missed your hold? 33242 Yes; but yet you did n''t think he''d do so much, eh?"
33242You ai n''t scared of him, are you?
33242You ai n''t thinking of getting him taken on here, are you,''Lish?
33242You can read, ca n''t you?
33242You do, eh? 33242 You''re goin''to lend me money after what I did?"
33242You''ve still got the fool idea in your mind that you''re going to be a fireman?
33242Your firebug has his chance this forenoon, eh?
33242After what seemed like a long time in waiting, Jip''s attorney asked the witness:"What is your name?"
33242Ai n''t gettin''discouraged so soon, are you?"
33242Ai n''t he got the nerve to be snoopin''''round here?
33242Amateur in trouble again?"
33242Anything gone wrong?"
33242Are you hearing what I''m saying?"
33242At that moment some one stepped to the side of the wagon and asked the driver:"Shall we send an ambulance?"
33242Been swelling all the morning till your head is so big that you need to borrow a new cap?"
33242Been to breakfast?"
33242But say, I do look pretty fine, eh?"
33242Ca n''t Ninety- four''s men stop it?"
33242Could n''t you find the mistake before then?"
33242Dan did not reply, but changed the subject of conversation by asking Bill:"What er you goin''to do''bout Sam Barney?"
33242Davis?"
33242Davis?"
33242Davis?"
33242Did n''t come up here reckonin''he or I''d got it, did you?"
33242Did n''t you hear the man call my name?
33242Do n''t you reckon all the firemen were boys once?"
33242Do n''t you reckon you''d stand the heat from a blaze better and longer than them who need to have it mighty nigh cold?"
33242Do n''t you s''pose the driver would kind- er help somehow?"
33242Do you know of any place where we can stop for a night or two till I''ve had time to look''round more?"
33242Do you know, lad, it''s a mighty dangerous thing to jump for a horse in that fashion?"
33242Do you mean that''s really you?"
33242Do you reckon I can show myself down- town now?"
33242Do you s''pose we''d lay still after he''s been an''done what he did?
33242Do you think I''d give you any fairy story about the place?
33242Do you want to consult with him?"
33242Goin''to run a bank, or keep a hotel, or do somethin''like that?"
33242Got a big job?"
33242Got anything on your mind?"
33242Has Mr. Davis turned out yet?"
33242Has the imitation detective caught him yet?"
33242Have n''t been getting into trouble with Josh, I hope?"
33242Have n''t been to breakfast yet, have you?"
33242Have n''t you got the right?
33242He has, eh?
33242He shall come into the Department, eh?"
33242He was----""Where''s them swell Brooklyn chums of yours?"
33242He''s always doin''that, an''what does he''mount to?"
33242How about getting first water now, Amateur?"
33242How did you get inside the lines?"
33242How long can I stay here?
33242How much have you seen of the building so far?"
33242How was Jip lookin''?"
33242How would it look for a fireman to be around blackin''boots?
33242I allow you''re counting on that suit of clothes?"
33242I do n''t reckon you''ve got any big pile of money left by this time, eh?"
33242I reckon you lost everything you owned, eh?"
33242I s''pose that''s what you call bein''a chum of mine?"
33242I thought you shipped that bloomin''detective over to Philadelphia?"
33242I wonder why he could n''t be yanked up for lyin''to Joe Carter when he borrowed that money?
33242I''m goin''to turn in, for what''s the use of payin''for a bed if you only get into it for the sake of sleepin''?
33242If I keep on sellin''papers an''do n''t try to do anything else, I''ll never get some other kind of a job, will I?
33242Instead of immediately acting upon his own suggestion Seth hesitated, and after a moment the driver asked:"What are you hanging in the wind now for?
33242Is Ben Dunton in the house?"
33242Is Bill over to the room?"
33242Is Dan all right?"
33242Is n''t the work here enough to satisfy you, but that you must needs look around for more?"
33242It seems to me you''ve knocked off work kind- er late to- night?"
33242Let me see, you live in the rear of Baxter''s carpenter shop, do n''t you?"
33242Look here, I''ve got to be up at seven o''clock to- morrow mornin'', an''why could n''t I shine your boots to- night?"
33242Neither Dan nor Bill spoke for several seconds, and then the former exclaimed with emphasis:"Say, but you''re gettin''there with both feet, eh?"
33242Now you all know I''m tryin''to work into the Department, an''what kind of show would I stand if there was a record like that against me?
33242Of course you''re countin''on seein''him off?"
33242S''posen you get another feller to do the shinin''an''I come''round evenin''s to tell you what''s been goin''on?
33242S''posen you got the shop this very minute, an''wanted to write a letter, or figger up how much anythin''cost?
33242Sam?"
33242Say, Seth, wo n''t you let me square it somehow?"
33242Say, ca n''t you come down by the post- office now?"
33242Say, goin''into the house now, or do you count on swellin''''round a spell first?"
33242Say, have you seen Sam Barney?"
33242Say, you know Dan made up his mind to own a store on Third Avenoo?"
33242See here, my lad, supposing you could practise here two or three hours a day, would it tire you out so that the regular duties might be slighted?"
33242Seth Bartlett?"
33242Seth made no attempt to read the account, and Dan cried impatiently as he held the sheet in front of him:"Why, do n''t you see what it says?
33242Seth made no attempt to take the missive until Mr. Fernald asked quite sharply:"Why do n''t you take it?
33242Still here, eh?"
33242Suppose I slap your face, how''ll it be then?"
33242Supposing you could drink that while it was boiling?
33242That''s a big step- up for a bootblack to make, an''I wonder how''Lish Davis will like it?"
33242The driver leaned over him once more, and asked almost tenderly:"Will I send you up to the house, Amateur?"
33242Then Seth said interrogatively:"Of course Teddy knew what he was talkin''''bout?"
33242Then Seth turned to the attorney, who was yet talking with Jip, and asked:"How''s he goin''to pay you for lookin''after him?"
33242Then he cried eagerly:"Say, you do n''t want to take another feller in, I s''pose?
33242Well, why do n''t you start?"
33242What about that firebug of yours?
33242What about the team?"
33242What did the lawyer say?"
33242What does he know''bout bein''a detective?
33242What else could he want of me?"
33242What else has come up?"
33242What kind of a fist would you make of it?"
33242What little game_ have_ you got?
33242What made you late in getting down- town?
33242What task have they set for you this morning?"
33242What''s all this talk I hear of your showing the members of the Department how to effect a rescue?"
33242What''s he standin''out there all by his lonesome for?"
33242What''s up?"
33242When did you have a bath last?"
33242When you goin''to leave here?"
33242Where did you get''em?"
33242Who''ll write to Joe Carter''bout it?"
33242Why did n''t you leave headquarters as he told you?"
33242Why not take a spin as far as the post- office?"
33242Would n''t most any feller who''s got as near into the Department as you have?"
33242You do n''t allow that when this''ere company takes it into their heads to fit out a kid they''re going to do it on second- hand rigging, do you?"
33242You do n''t allow we''re running an ambulance for such kids as you, eh?"
33242You goin''to do any more shinin''?"
33242got your eyes open again, eh?"
33242the driver asked gravely, and Seth replied with another question:"Would n''t you, sir?"
23380A fire, lad; was it a big one?
23380A fireman, Willie?
23380A funny place-- eh? 23380 A note, boy, from Mr Auberly?"
23380Ai n''t there none in the house?
23380Ai n''t there sitch a name in the house?
23380Am I to bring the answer back to you, sir?
23380An''ca n''t you eat nothin''now?
23380An''stations along the line?
23380And a bill at three months for the balance?
23380And what,continued Auberly,"would become of the fine arts if all men delighted in dirt, dust, dullness, and desks?
23380And who are you?
23380And you can spell-- eh? 23380 And_ you_ do n''t mean to tell me, do you, that a clerk in a fire insurance office does not know it?"
23380Answer me, boy,said Mr Auberly with an impressive look and tone;"were you sent here by a fireman?"
23380Any leaves?
23380Anyone inside?
23380Are ye jokin'', Frank?
23380Are you mad?
23380Are you sure of what you say, fireman?
23380Ay, but how?
23380B- but it''s awful to think of,said Boone;"suppose it''s found out?"
23380Boy,said Miss Tippet, turning suddenly to Willie,"your name is William Willders, I believe?"
23380Boy,said Mr Auberly,"will you be so good as to walk behind me?"
23380Business gittin''on well?
23380But I''m lookin''at you, and ai n''t that better? 23380 But have you really such an unconquerable love for painting?"
23380But how''s that to be managed?
23380But suppose,said Mrs Denman, with a faint smile,"that the fire is burning in the stair, and the house full of smoke, what am I to do?"
23380But what about your message to the relation in the City?
23380But what if I refuse to be released, Frank?
23380But where is William?
23380But where is Willie Willders?
23380But why? 23380 But you will let me do something for you?"
23380By the way, Baxmore,said Dale,"what was that false alarm at 2 p.m. when I was down at Watling Street?"
23380Can any o''you fellers lend me a bit o''baccy?
23380Can you direct me to Nottin''Hill Gate, missus?
23380Can you not ask some other favour, such as I could grant?
23380Certainly, my son; why does he want you?
23380Come now, wo n''t you have somethin''to eat? 23380 Come, Fred,"said the former,"we can chat here without interr-- hallo--""What''s wrong?"
23380Come, missus, do n''t be cross; wot''s the price o''yer apples now?
23380Conv''shas''n wi''me?
23380Could nothing be done with Mr Auberly?
23380Could we not manage to get her a situation of some sort with light work and good pay?
23380D''ye git nothin''better at other times?
23380D''you kape turpentine?
23380D''you know Mr Tippet well, sir?
23380D''you like bein''a fairy?
23380D''you suppose I''m an ass?
23380D''you want one?
23380Did n''t you hear about it?
23380Did n''t you say he put a blanket round you?
23380Did you ever hear of a coincidence that was not strange, lad? 23380 Did you hear whose house was burned, Willie?"
23380Did you look in at Frank''s lodging in passing to- night?
23380Do n''t you know me, David?
23380Do n''t you know,said Frank,"that we have about four fires_ every_ night?
23380Do n''t you see that the shutters are neither shut nor barred, Matty?
23380Do n''t you think, Fred, that time will soften your father?
23380Do n''t you? 23380 Do you think I would have come to such a pass as this for a trifle?
23380Do you?
23380Does Mrs Denman stop here, my dear?
23380Does your_ mother_ know you''re here?
23380Eh? 23380 Frank,"said Willie, assuming a tone of deep seriousness, while a glow suffused his cheeks,"can you keep a secret?"
23380Going home, lad?
23380Han''t ye got a bit o''hard baccy for the tooth?
23380Has mother, then, not told you anything about my circumstances of late?
23380Have your door- steps cleaned, sir?
23380Here she is;--by the way, what''s your name?
23380How are you, doctor?
23380How are you, my dear?
23380How can it be found out?
23380How can you stay with him?
23380How goes it, Frank?
23380How goes the inimy?
23380How is your sister?
23380How many?
23380How so?
23380How''s Thompson?
23380How, Frank?
23380How, boy; what do you mean?
23380How?
23380I grieve to hear this, Willie,said Frank,"but how comes it that you take so great an interest in these people?"
23380I know you''d like some, would n''t you? 23380 I rather think he is,"replied Willie, with a grin;"who shall I say calls on him-- eh?
23380I say, lads,cried Frank Willders,"what d''ye say to send along to the doctor for another bottle o''cough mixture, same as the first?"
23380I say, youngster, would you like a cup o''chocolate?
23380I sh''pose a living corpse would n''t do, would it? 23380 I suppose the fire has not been got under yet, has it?"
23380Is William Willders at''ome?
23380Is he at home, Betsy dear?
23380Is it go on?
23380Is that you, Gorman?
23380Is that your boat?
23380Is the other engine back?
23380Is the young woman waiting, Hopkins?
23380Is there nothing that I can do?
23380Is your friend a medical man?
23380It is,replied the waterman in surprise,"you do n''t want to go on the water on such a night, do you?"
23380Jolly stuff that, ai n''t it?
23380Just so, William; and your surname-- your other name?
23380Kensington, Fred? 23380 Let_ you_ make hay, you mean?"
23380Managed? 23380 May I make so bold as to ask how Miss Loo was when you seed her last?"
23380Mr Auberly is not to be there, is he?
23380My surprise is greater than yours, lad; how d''you know that, and where is she going to?
23380No lives lost, I hope, Willie?
23380No one bin askin''for me?
23380No tipple?
23380No, indeed, I wo n''t,repeated Mrs Denman;"how can I?
23380No, nothing; what could she tell me that I do not already know?
23380No?
23380Nor drink?
23380Not even the edges, nor the legs?
23380Not much, I hope; thank you for inquiring; but how come you to know about the fire, and to be interested in my sister?
23380Now then, pig- sticker, what d''ye mean by that?
23380Now then, what next?
23380Now, ai n''t that jolly?
23380Now, then, young bottle- imp, what did you mean by that?
23380Now, then,said Gorman, with a business air,"first of all, how stands the stock in the shop?"
23380Of course you''ve no objection to make a fifty pound note or so?
23380Oh, Willie, how comes it that you know? 23380 Oh, can you?"
23380Oh, it''s you, is it? 23380 Oh, mother, you''re a nice deceiver; you''re a sly old lady, ai n''t you?
23380Oh, then there''s_ another_ other boy, sir?
23380Oh, then, you have news, too, have you?
23380Oh, you have, have you?
23380Perhaps not, Willie,said Frank with a quiet smile;"but_ that_ is not what you want to speak about, then?"
23380Please, sir,said Willie, consulting the back of a note;"are you Mister T- Tom-- Tupper, Esquire?"
23380Please, sir,said Willie, going up to him,"is Frank Willders inside?"
23380Poor Mrs Denman,said Miss Tippet, pouring out the tea;"it must have been an awful shock; think of a( Sugar, brother?
23380Ruination?
23380See any one saved, is it? 23380 See that house?"
23380She does, boy, what d''ye want with her?
23380So you were at a fire last night, Willie?
23380Something like_ me_?
23380Stay-- what is your name?
23380Stop, sir, are you mad?
23380Surely this is not your chum, John?
23380Sympathy, Fred?
23380That depends on how you behave in future,said Dale with a laugh;"but what d''you want with Frank Willders?"
23380That you, Willders?
23380That you, Willie?
23380That''s right,said Gorman, clapping Ned on the shoulder and endeavouring to conciliate him;"now, then, the question is, how am I to get''un?"
23380That''s very sad; where is he?
23380Then it''s of no use our turning out, I suppose?
23380There''s gunpowder in the back- shop somewhere, I''m told, sir; shall I go in for it?
23380They ai n''t biled to make''em puff out, are they?
23380W- why not? 23380 WHEN ONE IS ANOTHER WHO IS WHICH?"
23380Was Frank there?
23380Welcome you? 23380 Well, Miss Ward, what can I supply you with to- day?"
23380Well, Sam, what news?
23380Well, boy, was ye comin''here?
23380Well, boy, what do you want? 23380 Well, boy?"
23380Well, but could n''t you think?
23380Well, but what_ is_ the news you''ve got to tell me?
23380Well, have you made the arrangements as I directed you last night?
23380Well, my lad, what''s_ your_ business?
23380Well, my son?
23380Well, t''ain''t easy to explain, but it means two things happenin''together in a most onlikely way-- d''ye see?
23380Well, then, he could get us a corpse, you know-- couldn''t he?
23380Well, what d''ye want, you noisy scamp?
23380Well, what''s the news?
23380Well, you''ll speak to him, wo n''t you, and I''ll make it worth while for both of you?
23380Were there people in the house?
23380Wery sad, ai n''t it, sir?
23380What are they diggin''for?
23380What book am I to read you?
23380What can it be she wants?
23380What d''ye think of my workshop?
23380What did you say, boy?
23380What do you think I should do? 23380 What does a body cost?"
23380What for, lad?
23380What for?
23380What is he?
23380What is his name?
23380What is it you see, Boone?
23380What mean you?
23380What say?
23380What was it?
23380What would you do, madman?
23380What''s that, Joe?
23380What''s that?
23380What,asked Barret,"would become of the town, if all men thought as you do?"
23380What?
23380What` darling''s life,''and what` thing''in Beverly Square?
23380When had you dinner?
23380When was that? 23380 Where are ye goin''?"
23380Where away now?
23380Where was the fire, Willie?
23380Where?
23380Where?
23380Which is to begin first?
23380White satin, Joe? 23380 Who told you about her, Loo?"
23380Why do n''t you go on?
23380Why not?
23380Why, Blazes, do you not know--? 23380 Why, lad, where got ye all those things?"
23380Why, mother, who would have expected to hear_ you_ standing up for the red- coats in this fashion?
23380Why, what are you chucklin''at, Blazes?
23380Why, what d''ye mean?--what d''ye take me for?
23380Why, youngster,said Dale, laying his hand on Willie''s head,"ai n''t you the boy that pulled our bell for a lark the other night?"
23380Why?
23380Will that do?
23380Will you conduct me to their abode?
23380Will you take a message to your mother?
23380Will you_ do_ it?
23380Wo n''t you welcome me?
23380Ye- yes-- why not?
23380Yes, it was gallopin''down Ludgate Hill, was n''t it?
23380Yes, sir, and thankee,said Willie;"where did you say I was to call, sir?"
23380You are a fireman, I understand?
23380You can only ruin me, but do you not know that I will have the power to denounce you as a fire- raiser?
23380You do n''t mean to say there''s been a fire?
23380You do n''t suppose I keep a stock of assorted subjects on hand, do you?
23380You have not told me what it is; how can I answer you?
23380You know Barret, Frank?
23380You know the alternative if you do n''t?
23380You want a situation in my office as a clerk?
23380You want a situation of some sort-- a clerkship, I suppose?
23380You wo n''t let_ him_ come near when you give it, will you?
23380You wo n''t let_ him_ give it me, will you? 23380 You''re hard up, rather, just now?"
23380You''re not going to be married, are you?
23380You''re off, are you-- eh?
23380Your father does not return till late, I suppose?
23380Your father is rich, is he not?
23380Your lodgin''s an''t far off, are they?
23380Ziza, darling, are you feeling better, my lamb?
23380_ Know_ about what?
23380` Where away?'' 23380 ` Why did you deceive me, sir?''
23380After that you''ll lay in the stock-- fifty pounds''worth; and it wo n''t be sham; it''ll be real--""But where is the money to come from?"
23380Ai n''t that economy gone mad?
23380Any more in the house?"
23380Are you able?"
23380Are you alone?"
23380Are_ all_ here?"
23380But as I was saying, it makes one shudder to think of; and-- and-- how does your leg feel_ now_?"
23380But how could-- you know it was me?
23380But suppose, ma''am, your house gets alight in spite of you-- well then, the question is what''s best to do?"
23380But where was David Boone all this time?
23380By the way, Auberly,"said Barret, glancing over his shoulder,"Is n''t Tom Tippet a sort of connection of yours?"
23380Come, what do you think of doing?"
23380Could it have been thee, Hopkins?
23380Could n''t you deliver your message?
23380D''ye know what that is, boy?"
23380D''ye understand?"
23380D''you know where my office is, and what it is?"
23380Dale guessed at once what it was, and ran down the staircase, calling out as he passed:"Here, Willders, Corney, Baxmore, lend a hand, will you?"
23380Did n''t know you wash a poet-- eh?
23380Did you hear ever of his noo machine for makin''artificial butter?"
23380Do n''t that sound grand, mother?"
23380Do you doubt this, reader?
23380Do you imagine that your friends will continue to care for a man who cares not for himself?
23380Do you know what your friend intends to do with it?"
23380Do you think that_ she_ would give_ you_ up for the sake of Auberly''s dross?"
23380Does Miss Tippet live here?"
23380Frank made no reply for a few moments, then he said with a sad yet gratified smile--"So you refuse to be released?"
23380Frank?"
23380Has this foe been properly met?
23380Have you anything to say to me?"
23380Have you lost much?"
23380Have you not received warning enough?"
23380Have you seen or heard of him lately?"
23380He sent out an army of boys with pots of whitewash and brushes, with directions to print in rough but large legible letters the words,"Who''s Boone?"
23380He''ll be quite a loss to the neighbourhood; wo n''t he, sir?"
23380He''s ill, you say?"
23380History records it; nature records it; experience-- everything records it; who has the temerity, or folly, to deny it?
23380How came he by the sprain?"
23380How long would you have me wait-- eh?
23380How many would you have?"
23380How much may the profits be?"
23380How was it done?"
23380How would you like that, William Willders-- eh?"
23380How would_ you_ like to have been carried out of a burning house in such a way by a big rough man?"
23380I always forget), what was I-- oh, yes; think of a fireman seizing one round the( Cream, Willie?
23380I am always extremely happy to do anything for-- yes, I suppose of course you can write, and, what d''ye call it-- count-- you can do arithmetic?"
23380I have got a very comfortable lodging with-- who do you think?
23380I hope that Miss Tippet is well?"
23380I hope you can_ spell_, Edward, a-- I mean Thomas-- is it, or William?"
23380I mean fellow-- is up to just now?"
23380I s''pose Frank can get along without me for a little while-- eh?"
23380I shall never,_ never_ get over it; and so little, so_ very_ little clothing on me--""How much had you on?"
23380I suppose, now, if it was all sold off you would n''t have enough to pay up my loans?"
23380I''m greatly in want of an intelligent lad who can use his hands; but, by the way, can you use your hands?
23380In addition to all this, these weak- minded( shall we call them?)
23380Is Willie at home?"
23380Is it possible that anything so spruce, dignified, almost stately, could have fallen so very low?
23380Is your father poor?"
23380It must be a dead one-- eh?"
23380It was such a funny account; you heard of it, brother( ring the bell again, dear), did n''t you?"
23380It was you that asked the doctor, was n''t it, for another bottle?"
23380It would only be required for a time, because I mean to-- ah, well, no matter-- but how and where is it to be got?
23380It''s so difficult to read ladies''hands; they''re so abominably angular, and-- where_ are_ my specs?
23380John Barret, has town life so marred your once fine intellect, that you put such a question in earnest?
23380Look at her, Jim; ai n''t she like her old self?"
23380Meanwhile, what is to be done for the Cattleys?"
23380Mr Tippet, leaning on his bench and looking into Willie''s face with a benignant smile, said--"Done, my boy?
23380No?)
23380Now, d''ye know, or do the servants know, or does anybody in the house know, where the trap in the roof is?"
23380Now, lad, if I were to take you in, what would you say to 5 pounds a year?"
23380Now, then, who bids for the old harm- chair?
23380Only I feel sort o''sorry for''em, somehow, and I''m awful anxious to see a real live fairy, even though she_ is_ ill.""When are you going?"
23380Perhaps love had something to do with them-- perhaps not-- who knows?
23380Pray, what does Matty stand for?"
23380Rather say, where was he not?
23380Shall I ask Mrs Smith to stay with you again, till we come back?"
23380Shall I ring for water?"
23380She observed the action, and said--"Are you going to read and pray with me, sir?"
23380Sitting in my chair in dishabille, when a man-- a Man, Miss Dee--""Well, I know what a_ man_ is,"said the Eagle bitterly;"why do n''t you go on?"
23380Six bob?
23380Six bob?
23380So now, is your heart ready to receive the flood of my sorrows?"
23380So old Auberly wants to see me to- morrow forenoon?"
23380Stay,"he added, in a softened tone,"have you breakfasted?"
23380Strange wish-- why d''you want to be one?"
23380Suppose I answer it by another: What would become of the country if all men thought and acted as you do?"
23380That''s a neat sum, ai n''t it, Boone?"
23380The fact is I felt nettled, for, after all, what is Miss Ward?
23380The house is insured, of course?"
23380This brought the slang phrase,"Does your mother know you''re out?"
23380W''at''ll you''ave to- night, sir?"
23380Was I going to sit there and hear him talk of Frank''s presumption as if he were a chimney- sweep?"
23380Was the fireman_ very_ tall?"
23380Was your mother drowned, too?"
23380Well, of course,_ both_ o''the boys will go; they ca n''t help it, there''s no gittin''over that; but, then, which of''em will git the situation?
23380Well, what say you about the body?
23380Well, where is it?"
23380What are my brains doin''night an day-- eh?
23380What are you staring at, boy?"
23380What d''ye bid?
23380What d''ye think of it, Frank?
23380What do you mean?"
23380What had you for dinner?"
23380What have you got to tell me; nothing serious, I hope?"
23380What is your name, boy?"
23380What things are you careless in?"
23380What think you of it?"
23380What_ do_ you call them?"
23380Where are the rest o''the lads?"
23380Where d''ye stop?"
23380Where is it?"
23380Who bids for this''ere venerable garment?
23380Who may this pretty fire- raiser be?"
23380Who said one- an''-seven?
23380Who said six bob?"
23380Why do n''t your friend speak out like a man; state what he wants it for, and get it in the regular way?"
23380Why do you ask?"
23380Why, what do you call the style of carrying on business that you started with seven years ago, and have practised more or less ever since?"
23380Why, what''s the matter with you?"
23380Why, when do you mean to stop growing?"
23380Why?"
23380Will you accept of this purse?"
23380Wo n''t she be fit to bu''st?"
23380You could n''t make me a fireman, could you, ma''am?"
23380You did n''t see-- see-- any one saved, did you?"
23380You do n''t sh''pose I keep a stock of''em on hand ready- made, do you-- eh?"
23380You do n''t suppose I would do that, I hope?"
23380You know Forest, mother, the man that we''ve heard so much of?
23380You know it would never do to risk the loss of such valuable stock by fire-- eh, Boone?
23380You remember it, Willie?"
23380You remember my tellin''you about little Cattley and the auction, do n''t you?"
23380You seem to have heard of him before, mother?"
23380You talk of meeting your brother to- night at home; do you not live together?''
23380You were saying, as we came along, that your father is sterner than ever, were you not?"
23380You''ll call at the station on your way home, Willie?"
23380You''re not going to turn to my profession as a last resort, I hope?"
23380You''re uncommon careful about that, I hope?"
23380You''ve heard how he came by the other mishap?"
23380` Finished it all?''
23380` Now,_ which_ is it?''
23380` Your mother,''he gasped,` Mrs Willders-- my sister- in- law-- the waterman''s widow?''
23380and what about the insurance?"
23380another cup, Ziza?"
23380are you good at writing and ciphering?"
23380caused Emma Ward to open her eyes to the utmost possible extent, and exclaim,"Where?"
23380cried Miss Tippet;"was it_ your_ brother that saved Loo?"
23380cried Willie, advancing and giving his brother''s hand a warm shake;"the cut head mending-- eh?"
23380cried Willie;"why did n''t he_ drop_?
23380cried the same stalwart fireman who had seized the small boy, stepping out and laying his hand on Hopkins''s shoulder, whereabouts is it?
23380d''you mean to say that you were at the fire in-- in Holborn that night?"
23380did you hear of Joe Corney, and what''s- his-- fireman''s visit to Mrs Denman?
23380do n''t it?
23380do you know about it, too?"
23380exclaimed Miss Tippet;"do you mean to say that you will return to your dreadful profession when you recover?
23380exclaimed the horrified Mrs Denman,"was she killed?"
23380exclaimed the other,"what am I paid a salary for?
23380he cried angrily on being startled again,"was n''t the last wan all a sham?
23380how are ye?"
23380how could I help it?
23380how_ dare_ you, sir?"
23380is she not saved?
23380is that you?"
23380my girl,"interrupted Mr Auberly with a frown,"nor use exclamations of any kind in my presence; what are the` some things''referred to?"
23380oh, Blazes,"said Willie sadly,"has money told on you so fearfully already?
23380said Frank with a smile, as he wiped his pen;"what set it alight, lad?"
23380say, what is this?"
23380the one with the porch before the door?"
23380was he indeed at that sad fire, and did he help to put it out?"
23380what d''ye mean?"
23380what does she draw-- corks?"
23380where?"
23380wherefore?"
23380who may_ you_ be?"
23380you dare to defy me?"
23380you have made up your mind, have you?"
23380you wo n''t have it at no price?
23380you''re asleep, are you, and not to be waked up-- eh?
