7434	Mamsie, is n''t it good that they''re going?"
7434	Mamsie, where_ did_ you get it?
7434	Mamsie--"and he turned a troubled face to her--"do you suppose God''s going to let good Mr. Blodgett''s barn burn up?"
7434	May n''t I go back, now?"
7434	May n''t we have a little play out in the orchard next Wednesday, and ca n''t Joel and David sit up a little longer to- night to talk it over?
7434	Mrs. Beebe kept coming out of the little parlor at the back of the shop, and saying,"Ai n''t you through with Joel yet, Pa?"
7434	My cent?"
7434	Now what will Mamsie say?"
7434	Now, Joel, why do n''t you have the animals now?
7434	O dear me, what can it be?"
7434	Oh, Joel, are you sure he did n''t bite you anywhere?
7434	Oh, Mammy, where did you get it?"
7434	Polly ran over to him,"Why, Davie,"she cried, getting down on the floor by his side,"do n''t you understand?
7434	So we are seeing his bonfire, ai n''t we, Mammy?"
7434	Then what would your Ma say to me?
7434	They had proceeded about a quarter of a mile, when Mr. Tisbett suddenly asked,"Want to drive, Joel?
7434	Think of Phronsie, and--""What is it, Polly?"
7434	Tisbett?"
7434	Tisbett?"
7434	Want to come and help, Joe and David?"
7434	Want to go, Marm?"
7434	Was n''t it, Dave?"

7434	What d''ye want?"

7434	What is your mother thinking of, to bring you up in this way?"
7434	What''s the matter, dear?"
7434	Which way?"
7434	Who''s fighting?"
7434	Why did n''t you let it alone?"
7434	Why did n''t you show''em to me before?"
7434	Why do n''t we ever have any pie in the little brown house, Mamsie?"

7434	begged Joel, twisting away to the other side of the bed,"and what are you feeling my legs all over for?"
7434	cried Davie, fearfully;"a snake, Joel?"
7434	cried Mr. Beebe, greatly delighted;"well, now, when those are worn out, you come and see me again, will you?"
7434	cried Polly, an awful dread at her heart, on account of the little guest, as she hung over the wreck, pulling busily at the chairs,"are you all safe?"
7434	cried Polly,"whatever can have happened to Joel?"
7434	cried his mother, with a shake;"hain''t you no more manners''n that?

7434	exclaimed Polly, clasping her hands,"whatever can we do, Mamsie, to find him?"
7434	he cried joyfully;"now we can go, Mammy, ca n''t we?
7434	screamed Joel,"now you will let him go fishing, wo n''t you?"

26122	And finally he asked suddenly,''Do your folks know you''re comin''?'' 26122 And how did they know at the school where you were?"
26122	And is it possible that you have n''t seen it for yourself, Jasper?
26122	And is n''t she nice?

26122	And where shall we all go?
26122	And why do n''t you read where you are?
26122	And, Polly, child, what is the matter?
26122	And, oh dear me, is n''t this too horrible, what Lily Cushing has done?
26122	Any other boy?
26122	Are you all right?
26122	Are you hurt? 26122 Are you hurt?"
26122	Are you mad? 26122 Are you sick, Joe?"
26122	Are you sure you will like it, Alexia?
26122	Are you sure, Polly,a light coming into her tired eyes,"that you young people would be willing to come to entertain a dull, sick, old woman?"
26122	But what will it be?
26122	But why did you promise, sister?
26122	But, Jasper,began Polly, a little white line coming around her mouth,"what would he think to have me talk to him about his lessons?"
26122	Ca n''t I come?
26122	Ca n''t somebody telephone them?
26122	Ca n''t you untie him to- day, Michael?
26122	Dave? 26122 David,"cried the instructor, catching Davie''s eye, down by the door,"do you know anything about this dog?"
26122	Did I ever tell you anything that was n''t so, Pick?
26122	Did I?
26122	Did Polly say so?
26122	Did he? 26122 Did n''t come?
26122	Did she, Polly?
26122	Did they have boys at that school?
26122	Did you ever see such a change in any one?
26122	Did you not hear me?
26122	Did you suppose Jim Corcoran lived in a palace?
26122	Did you?
26122	Do any of you know who the man was who was killed last night?
26122	Do n''t know; what''s up, King?
26122	Do n''t send him off?
26122	Do n''t you know how she claps her hands when he''s rehearsing, Polly?
26122	Do n''t you see?
26122	Do n''t you want to hear any other plans?
26122	Do you hear me, Joel Pepper?
26122	Do you mean it, Polly?
26122	Do you mind telling me all about this little affair of yours, Joe?
26122	Do you mind, Tom? 26122 Do you really, Polly?"
26122	Do you suppose he''ll tell?
26122	Do you suppose she dresses up like that every day, Silvia?
26122	Do you think I ought to go next Saturday morning out shopping, Mamsie, after I''ve been so naughty?
26122	Do you?
26122	Do you?
26122	Do you?
26122	Do? 26122 Does he so?"
26122	Does she always have them carrying around like that?
26122	Does your arm hurt you, Alexia?
26122	Eh-- what''s that? 26122 Eh-- what?
26122	Eh-- what?
26122	Everything begins next week, does n''t it, Grandpapa?
26122	Girls, is n''t it lovely that we have this splendid place where we can run, and nobody see us?
26122	Good?
26122	Got a bit of string? 26122 Ha, ha-- ain''t it?
26122	Has Madame any further commands for me?
26122	Has he got through? 26122 Has she?"
26122	Hasty?
26122	Have n''t you gotten over that nonsense yet, Marian?
26122	Have n''t you so?
26122	Have n''t you? 26122 Have you?"
26122	He''s glad to go, is n''t he, Joel?
26122	Here it is, father,he cried, rushing back and whirling the leaves--"why, what?"
26122	Hey?
26122	Hey?
26122	Honest?
26122	How are you going to help it,cried Amy Garrett dismally,"when you are in her classes?
26122	How can we, Polly?
26122	How can you, Lucy, say such perfectly dreadful things?
26122	How do you do, Cathie?
26122	How do you know I want to walk with you?
26122	How many scholars were there, Miss Salisbury?
26122	How?
26122	Hush, boys,warned Polly, hoarsely pointing to him;"is Mamsie with her?"
26122	I beg your pardon; what can I do for you, sir?
26122	I ca n''t ever remember names, if I do hear them,said Lucy,"so what is the use of my bothering to hear them, Sil?"
26122	I got cut in the little brown house once, did n''t I, Bensie?
26122	I know,said Polly,"but oh, Jasper, is n''t it just too elegant for anything, to think that Mr. Faber says it''s all right with him?"
26122	If the lessons are done, come over this evening, will you?
26122	Interesting, are n''t they?
26122	Is Dr. Marks up?
26122	Is Dr. Marks up?
26122	Is Polly sick?
26122	Is it any harder than in any other school, Tom?
26122	Is it?
26122	Is n''t he, sir? 26122 Is n''t it?"
26122	Is n''t that too fine for anything, girls?
26122	Is that so?
26122	Is that so?
26122	Is the little girl worse?
26122	It was very hard when the impatient passengers would come back into the car to ask each other,''How soon do you suppose we will get to Mayville?'' 26122 It''s all right, old boy, I verily believe,"Tom cried with sudden energy,"so brace up; what''s the use of your going to pieces, anyway?"
26122	Jasper, do you suppose?
26122	Let me, will you?
26122	Make up lessons? 26122 May I tell him so?"
26122	May we all git out and go into your barn?
26122	May we go now, dear Miss Salisbury?
26122	Miss Anstice?
26122	Mr. Clemcy? 26122 Must I tell, sir?"
26122	No, you''re not,said Clem obstinately;"we''re all her dearest friends, are n''t we, Polly?
26122	Not a really and truly piano?
26122	Not have our play?
26122	Not me?
26122	Nothing? 26122 Now what book?"
26122	Now what shall we do?
26122	Now why ca n''t it be broken?
26122	Now, Joel,he said,"you know this payment comes every week out of your allowance for this dog''s keeping, eh?
26122	Now, do you want mother to tie it on?
26122	Now, what will they be, Polly?
26122	Now, would n''t you put on a pink one to- day, Alexia?
26122	Oh Alexia,cried Phronsie in great excitement,"will you-- could you get''The Little Yellow Duck''?"
26122	Oh Jenk, is that you? 26122 Oh Polly, it''s too bad to ask,--were you going to study?"
26122	Oh Polly,cried Jasper, gaining her side,"ca n''t we help?"
26122	Oh Polly,cried Jasper,"was there some one killed?"
26122	Oh Tom, are you there?
26122	Oh then, some one can go to the nearest station, and telephone, ca n''t they, sir?
26122	Oh, I know-- but where did he live?
26122	Oh, Jasper,she cried,"can we all get into your den?"
26122	Oh, Polly Pepper, where_ are_ you?
26122	Oh, Polly, are n''t your tiptoes tired?
26122	Oh, are you sure you are not vexed, Pickering? 26122 Oh, are you worse?
26122	Oh, beg pardon, and may we girls have Polly?
26122	Oh, ca n''t we go out to see?
26122	Oh, ca n''t you see? 26122 Oh, can we?"
26122	Oh, do you suppose he will marry her?
26122	Oh, do you want to learn to play on the piano?
26122	Oh, has anything happened?
26122	Oh, have you a toothache?
26122	Oh, is it broken?
26122	Oh, is n''t that perfectly splendid?
26122	Oh, is she worse?
26122	Oh, is that Pepper?
26122	Oh, may I go too?
26122	Oh, may I sit here?
26122	Oh, may we, father, may we?
26122	Oh, must you go?
26122	Oh, was n''t that spin just delicious?
26122	Oh, what good is it to worry him?
26122	Oh, what is it Jasper?
26122	Oh, what is it, Jasper?
26122	Oh, what is it, Joe?
26122	Oh, what is it?
26122	Oh, what is it?
26122	Oh, what is its name?
26122	Oh, what shall I do? 26122 Oh, where''s Polly?"
26122	Oh, why ca n''t we, Jasper? 26122 Oh, why do you?"
26122	Oh, you have concluded to come?
26122	Pepper-- don''t you know Pepper?
26122	Pickering here?
26122	Polly, did you know? 26122 Polly, you must,"said Jasper, for Phronsie was trying to turn in her mother''s lap, and saying in a worried way,"Where''s Polly?
26122	Polly,--Alexia gave a little push, as she leaned over,--"isn''t it perfectly dreadful to be mewed up here in this way?
26122	Polly-- Jasper-- where are you?
26122	Polly-- what is it?
26122	Polly? 26122 Pretty quick work, eh, Bill?"
26122	Pretty?
26122	Really?
26122	Rose Harding,looking at the girl just back of her,"ca n''t you eat over your own lap, pray tell?"
26122	Sarah, why could n''t you have kept still?
26122	Say, Alexia, you do n''t think so, do you?
26122	Say, Ben, did she?
26122	Say, if that family has got all that richness, what do you want the club to do?
26122	Say, where''s Jenk? 26122 School?
26122	Sewing? 26122 Shall I make her up a bunch, Miss Mary?"
26122	Shall you really?
26122	Should n''t we tire you?
26122	Sure?
26122	Take my advice; you''ll get your picnic all right; then where would you be with your cakes all eaten up?
26122	Tell me this very minute, Joel Pepper,she commanded,"what do you mean?"
26122	Tell on, Alexia; what do you know?
26122	That old sewing thing where they make clothes for the poor little darkeys down South?
26122	That so?
26122	That''s her name,said Tom, nodding at her;"Jemima Fox-- isn''t that a sweet name, Phronsie?"
26122	That''s likely, is n''t it?
26122	The stage?
26122	Then why could n''t you hold some of your rehearsals here?
26122	There now,crowding them in back of Alexia''s restless head,"is n''t that fine?"
26122	Think?
26122	To Moose Island?
26122	Um,said Berry,"what''s up now, Jenk?"
26122	Unlock the back door?
26122	Up the lightning conductor?
26122	Vexed?
26122	Was any other boy with you?
26122	Was n''t it?
26122	Was that old thing a Salisbury?
26122	We boys?
26122	Well, Chairman-- Polly, I mean--Alexia flew into position--"what''s the next list?"
26122	Well, I do n''t care; and she''s going round the world to- morrow, so what does it signify?
26122	Well, Polly, then what ought to come next? 26122 Well, Polly, you are going to put off toasting the marshmallows, are n''t you, till to- morrow night, when Pick can probably come?"
26122	Well, Polly-- how do you do, Cathie? 26122 Well, did you suppose I was going to see you all sprinting off and having such fun, and not try it too?
26122	Well, now what are we to give her as a wedding present?
26122	Well, now what number?
26122	Well, well, Pennell,he exclaimed,"you here?"
26122	Well, what are you going to do with it?
26122	Well, what did you want to see me for, Pepper?
26122	Well, what else?
26122	Well, what would you say if you should be told that your teacher was going to be married?
26122	Well, who did, then?
26122	Well, who has one? 26122 Well, who would n''t?"
26122	Well, you must acknowledge, Tom, that I want to see something of you, else why would I have brought you home, pray tell?
26122	Well,said Polly,"I''ll try; and what then, Jasper?"
26122	Were the other girls who went to Silvia''s, at school?
26122	Were you Amelia?
26122	What are you going to do with that dog?
26122	What are you going to do, Jenk?
26122	What are you going to do, sir?
26122	What can I do, Jasper?
26122	What can it be?
26122	What did you bring him home for, Joe?
26122	What did you fellows touch me for?
26122	What do you know?
26122	What do you mean, Jasper?
26122	What do you mean, Jasper?
26122	What do you want, Polly?
26122	What is going to happen?
26122	What is it, Alexia?
26122	What is it, Alexia?
26122	What is it, Joe?
26122	What is it, Pet?
26122	What is it, my child?
26122	What is it-- oh, Miss Baker, what is the reason we''re stopping?
26122	What is it?
26122	What is it?
26122	What is it?
26122	What is it?
26122	What is the matter?
26122	What is the matter?
26122	What is your name?
26122	What makes it?
26122	What makes you shake so when you laugh, Battles?
26122	What next?
26122	What pin was it, Sally?
26122	What was his name-- this brakeman''s?
26122	What''s a fellow to do without you, Joe?
26122	What''s a grampus?
26122	What''s all the row about?
26122	What''s famous?
26122	What''s got into the beggar?
26122	What''s lingo?
26122	What''s scrawny?
26122	What''s that?
26122	What''s the matter with you, anyway?
26122	What''s the matter with you?
26122	What''s the matter?
26122	What''s the row?
26122	What''s this, Mrs. Fox? 26122 What''s up, Pepper?"
26122	What''s up, Pepper?
26122	What''s-- what''s the matter, Joe?
26122	What? 26122 What?
26122	What?
26122	What?
26122	What?
26122	What_ are_ the health authorities about, to allow such atrocious old holes? 26122 What_ do_ you mean?"
26122	What_ is_ the matter?
26122	What_ shall_ we do?
26122	Whatever do you mean, Polly Pepper?
26122	When did you get that dog?
26122	When-- when?
26122	Where are they going?
26122	Where are you going, Polly?
26122	Where are you going?
26122	Where in time are your shoes?
26122	Where is Pick?
26122	Where is she, Mamsie?
26122	Where is she?
26122	Where is the thing?
26122	Where_ are_ we going?
26122	Where_ have_ you been?
26122	Which one is''t? 26122 Who do you think is engaged to Mr. John Clemcy?"
26122	Who is he? 26122 Who is that boy?"
26122	Who jumped first of all?
26122	Who''s fighting now with the new boy?
26122	Who''s talking now,cried Clem triumphantly,"and making a noise?"
26122	Who,she demanded, hurrying to the centre of the apartment, a red spot on either cheek,"has done this?"
26122	Who-- Dave?
26122	Who? 26122 Who?"
26122	Who?
26122	Who?
26122	Why do n''t you boys do something for those lads in there?
26122	Why do n''t you take boys at our school, Miss Salisbury?
26122	Why do you boys rush in, in this manner?
26122	Why does n''t she drop that dirty old cat?
26122	Why not, pray tell?
26122	Why should we?
26122	Why, Ben?
26122	Why, Bensie?
26122	Why, I''ve just thought-- you do n''t suppose Miss Salisbury will appoint the day for the picnic, do you, while my arm is lame?
26122	Why, Joel, why?
26122	Why, Joey Pepper, did you think for an instant that any one blamed you?
26122	Why, we''ll give it for money-- father, may we, in the drawing- room? 26122 Why, you have n''t ever been to any other place for your picnic, have you, Polly?"
26122	Why?
26122	Will you please tell me-- do you know who the poor man was who was killed?
26122	Wo n''t he pay attention to what the teachers write to him, Jasper?
26122	Wo n''t let you? 26122 Wo n''t?
26122	Would I what?
26122	Would n''t you like me to smooth your hair, Alexia?
26122	Would you-- I mean, do you want-- oh, Mrs. Sterling, would you like us to come here some time to recite something to you?
26122	Would you-- oh, might I unlock the-- the back door?
26122	Yes, and tear their-- why, what in this world are we stopping for?
26122	Yes, indeed,answered Polly;"why, where are they?"
26122	Yes, just sit on that individual, will you, Jasper?
26122	Yes, well, now what would he say?
26122	Yes, why do n''t you, Jasper?
26122	Yes-- er-- Jenk, were going to settle it that night?
26122	Yes; but what of it?
26122	Yes?
26122	You did n''t have to sew at that school, did you, Miss Salisbury?
26122	You did n''t see?
26122	You do n''t mean that Pickering Dodge will be expelled?
26122	You do n''t mean that he thinks Pick will get in without conditions?
26122	You do n''t mean-- you ca n''t mean, that Pickering will be dropped, Jasper?
26122	You have n''t broken your jaw, Pick?
26122	You see,said David, the tears still rolling down his cheeks,"that-- oh dear!--Joel was gone, and--""How did you know Joel was gone?"
26122	You''ll forgive us all, wo n''t you, Miss Anstice, if we did n''t love you enough?
26122	You''ve had a bee, have n''t you,asked Pickering,"or something of that sort?
26122	_ Came out rightly_? 26122 _ What_?"
26122	''Did ye s''pose I''d desert that child?''
26122	''Hain''t your folks no sense to let a young thing come out in that way?''
26122	Alexia ran over in her mind everything for which she could, by any possibility, be congratulated; and finding nothing, she said,"What for?"
26122	And Mrs. Whitney, coming over the stairs, saying,"Well, Cousin Eunice, did you have a pleasant journey?"
26122	And he looked so horribly disappointed, that old Mr. King said,"Why do n''t you take him, Jasper, along with us?"
26122	And she flashed back,"Did you suppose I would?"
26122	And she jumped up, and said,''Oh, have you hurt your arm?''
26122	And then all was bustle and confusion enough, as how could it be helped with all those boys getting off on such an expedition?
26122	And we will always keep the anniversary of that picnic, that blessed day, wo n''t we?"
26122	And what does he say?"
26122	And where is Joel?"
26122	And where''s Polly?"
26122	And, do you know, the thing I''ve longed for all my life was a watch and chain like this?
26122	At last the conductor came through, and he met a storm of inquiries, all asking the same question,''How soon will we get to Mayville?''
26122	Be still, ca n''t you?"
26122	But Miss Salisbury, to whom the precious parcel had been intrusted, said suddenly,"Why do n''t you give it to her yourselves, girls?"
26122	But what is there?"
26122	But your family, little girl-- how can we reach them?"
26122	By the way, Polly, Jasper made a good speech now, did n''t he?"
26122	Can you not guess?"
26122	Could you, sir?"
26122	Do you hear me?"
26122	Do you know, Jane?"
26122	Faber?"
26122	Fisher?"
26122	Harrow_?"
26122	Have n''t you heard?"
26122	Have you seen him, Phronsie?"
26122	He looked as if he cared less, and was about to slam down the window, when Mr. King asked,"Does anybody in this office know?"
26122	How can she keep it after she is married?"
26122	How could you think it, Alexia?"
26122	It is clearly understood, Joel?"
26122	Just then in rushed Polly and Jasper, surrounding him, and in a minute,"Oh, is Tom sick?"
26122	Let me see, what shall it be about?"
26122	Mamsie, what is it?"
26122	May I?"
26122	Meantime a voice said,"What is it?"
26122	Not daring to breathe, but clutching the racket tightly, and with one eye on Berry, Jenk cried again in a loud whisper,"Sure, Berry?"
26122	Now answer me-- yes or no-- was any other boy with you?"
26122	Now then, how is our little friend here?"
26122	Now, what do you think of that, Dave Pepper?"
26122	Now, why did you not come and tell me or sister at once about it?"
26122	Oh, Joel, what shall I do?
26122	Oh, Polly, when do you suppose we can ever start?"
26122	Oh, do you suppose we''ve hurt it?"
26122	Old Mr. King heard her sigh at his side, and he cried,"Well, what else?"
26122	Old Mr. King was asking him for the third time,"You found out all about poor Jim''s family, eh?"
26122	Polly and Jasper looked so very decidedly"Oh, may we go too?"
26122	Quite near, I presume?"
26122	Say, Polly, are n''t we?"
26122	See here, where''s your Cæsar?"
26122	Should she run out of the room, and leave this dreadful old woman that every one in the house was tired of?
26122	So Polly said,"Oh, would she like to have us, Miss Salisbury?"
26122	So you went out with Beresford to find Joel, eh?"
26122	So your mother and I-- we do, do n''t we, dear?"
26122	Then she thought,"Oh, what did I say?
26122	Then she turned her cap- frills full on him, and said in a tone of great displeasure,"What_ is_ the meaning of all this?"
26122	There, you see this lace?"
26122	Very sure?"
26122	Was anything said about it, Polly?"
26122	We are fine friends, are n''t we, Phronsie?"
26122	We are only five miles out, but--""Five miles?"
26122	We can go right after school, ca n''t we?"
26122	Well, I suppose she was cross as two sticks because he did n''t come, was n''t she, Polly?
26122	Well, now, Polly, what shall we do?
26122	Well, now, girls, what shall I do?
26122	Well, now-- hem-- Mr. Potter,"he said aloud,"and where do you live?
26122	What are you talking about?"
26122	What did he look like, Polly?"
26122	What have I got to give you?"
26122	What is it, Miss Seymour?"
26122	What is it, Polly?"
26122	What is the reason one can eat so very little at a picnic, I wonder?"
26122	What shall I do?
26122	What shall we do to raise money?"
26122	What shall we do with such a lot of boys?"
26122	What shall we do?"
26122	What was one broken vase, after all?
26122	What would your grandfather, Mr. King, say to such a thing, Polly Pepper?"
26122	What''s gone, Joe?"
26122	What_ can_ we do?"
26122	Where are the health authorities, I should like to know, to let such abominations exist?
26122	Where in thunder is it?"
26122	Who says I ca n''t pay the beggar back?"
26122	Who wants to haul him over?"
26122	Why not?"
26122	Will you go, Phronsie?"
26122	Will you please have her come up here?
26122	Will you, Polly, my child?"
26122	Would the doctor ever come?
26122	XIX THE GRAND ENTERTAINMENT"Ought we to, Mamsie?"
26122	XVI NEW PLANS"Polly,"said Jasper,"could you come into the den?"
26122	You did bring''em this year, did n''t you?"
26122	You have n''t, Berry?"
26122	You will, wo n''t you?"
26122	and how did you think of it?"
26122	and"Why did n''t I think of that?"
26122	asked David in astonishment,"and where''s Joel?"
26122	asked Polly, poking into a tuft of grass beneath the steps,"your blue one?"
26122	called Jasper over the stairs,"where are you?"
26122	cried Polly,"and had he any children?"
26122	cried the girls who were going to sit up to study,"now is n''t this just as hateful as it can be?"
26122	did you ever get left?"
26122	exclaimed Alexia, seizing her with the well hand,"did you suppose I''d be such a selfish old pig as to drag you off from those children of yours?"
26122	exclaimed Alexia; and,"How do you know she''ll wear the black silk gown to- morrow, Amy?"
26122	exclaimed Polly with a sorry droop to the bright head, and clasping her hands,"could you, Dr. Pennell, tell me anything more?"
26122	has the beggar finished?"
26122	is she, Polly?"
26122	is that Polly Pepper?"
26122	repeated Mr. King, wrinkling his brows,"and where may that be, pray tell?"
26122	repeated Polly,"Oh, where?
26122	she cried;"Oh, Miss Baker"--the doctor had rushed off to other possible sufferers--"and tell them no one is hurt;--I mean seriously?"
26122	she exclaimed,"do n''t you ever get tired of everlastingly dressing those dolls, Phronsie?"
26122	then, was it right?
26122	they cried,"are you coming-- can you really go?"
26122	what is it?"
26122	what ought we to do, Polly?"
26122	what shall I do?"
26122	what_ are_ you doing?
26122	what_ shall_ we do?"
26122	where are you going?"
26122	where is the chap?"
26122	where_ can_ it be?"
26122	where_ is_ that hat?"
26122	which one of my scholars can have forgotten herself enough to touch a thing?"
26122	who has taken it?
26122	who?"
26122	who?"
26122	why is n''t everything just right, so that they all could hear it?"
6987	A little basket of string; is n''t it funny, and where did you get it?
6987	All right,said Polly, glad to think there was anything she could really do to please the little old earl,"but would your mother like it, Tom?"
6987	And I say, Polly,--for now they had scrambled up to the two girls,--"isn''t there room for us on that cloud too?"
6987	And Jasper can, too, ca n''t he, Grandpapa? 6987 And Polly, now--"asked old Mr. King, cautiously,"and Jasper-- how were they feeling?"
6987	And ca n''t she come out, to- day?
6987	And can I see the cows?
6987	And do you own this mountain, anyway?
6987	And do you think that I will mind in the least what that beastly doctor says?
6987	And has it a little white tent on the side, just like my mountain here?
6987	And how many did you, Polly?
6987	And how round and yellow they are,said Polly;"just like pumpkins, are n''t they?
6987	And is n''t Jasper coming back?
6987	And is n''t it better than a stuffy old carriage?
6987	And is n''t it good?
6987	And so you like that, hey?
6987	And the show is over,said Tom,"why should n''t they run?"
6987	And we''ll stay over night, father,cried Jasper,"wo n''t we?"
6987	And what old party are you?
6987	And wo n''t he feel badly then, Grandpapa?
6987	And you are sorry, Grandpapa dear?
6987	And you''ll be all well, Grandpapa?
6987	And, oh, Grandpapa, ca n''t we go to Fontainebleau to- day?
6987	Any room here, Tom, for mother?
6987	Anybody who will trot round with a kodak hanging to his neck by a villanous strap-- can''t be--"Who''s got a villanous strap hanging to his neck?
6987	Anything the matter?
6987	Apple tree at the back?
6987	Are n''t they most beautiful?
6987	Are n''t those pictures pretty?
6987	Are n''t you afraid to leave Polly with her?
6987	Are there any little children there?
6987	Are they?
6987	Are you sick, Grandpapa?
6987	Are you sick, Polly?
6987	As if what, Polly?
6987	Awkward? 6987 Bless me, did I really do that?"
6987	Bless me-- are those your toes, young man?
6987	But I can not possibly accept it,groaned old Mr. King;"do n''t you see, child, after treating him so?
6987	But how did you first hear of the fire?
6987	But she would feel dreadfully for you to send it back, for do n''t you see, father, that would hurt his feelings? 6987 But they are n''t half as nice as ours will be,"whispered Jasper;"how many did you take, Polly?"
6987	But we ought to see everything,said Polly,"ought n''t we, Grandpapa, when we''ve come so far to see it?"
6987	But what can we do now, Polly?
6987	Ca n''t he breathe under the water?
6987	Ca n''t we? 6987 Ca n''t you make a plain statement, and enlighten us without all this noise and confusion, pray tell?"
6987	Ca n''t you reconsider it now?
6987	Can I-- I''d like-- to see my Grandfather, do n''t you know?
6987	Crying? 6987 Dear me, did I?"
6987	Dear me, do they have to take their shoes off before they go in the house?
6987	Dear me, the Broek women have something to do, do n''t they, to keep everything so shiny and clean?
6987	Dear me, who was it that painted that, Jasper? 6987 Did he say that?"
6987	Did he, Jasper?
6987	Did n''t I, though?
6987	Did n''t you expect it?
6987	Did n''t you say you wanted to find something, dear?
6987	Did n''t you suppose they would be?
6987	Did you ask him, Mamma?
6987	Did you ever see anything so fascinating?
6987	Did you like it, Phronsie?
6987	Did you pick up some of that snow?
6987	Did you see Phronsie''s face, Jasper, when that light burst out?
6987	Did you?
6987	Do I what?
6987	Do n''t I know? 6987 Do n''t the houses lean over queerly?"
6987	Do n''t the little Dutch children keep them on?
6987	Do n''t you know?
6987	Do n''t you like it, Polly?
6987	Do n''t you remember how cold it was up on the Rigi, and that was about nine thousand feet lower?
6987	Do n''t you see it''s got your name on it?
6987	Do tell me, Jasper, you did bring that, did n''t you?
6987	Do they live in the woods?
6987	Do they?
6987	Do you mean a peasant doll to add to the collection?
6987	Do you paint?
6987	Do you play chess, I say?
6987	Do you really want to go in a dirty old tram- car, Phronsie, instead of in a carriage?
6987	Do you, Polly? 6987 Does he?"
6987	Does your head feel better?
6987	Draughts?
6987	Eccentric? 6987 Eh-- oh, what?"
6987	Eh-- what?
6987	Eh? 6987 Eh?
6987	Eh?
6987	Eh?
6987	Every mountain is bigger, is n''t it, Polly?
6987	Fanny adores such things, do n''t you, dear?
6987	Fanny, are you wild? 6987 Fanny, how often must I tell you to wear gloves on shipboard?"
6987	Fifteen times around make a mile, do n''t they, Jasper?
6987	Flies?
6987	Get away, will you?
6987	Gold? 6987 Goodness me, Jasper, what are you thinking of to ask such a question, after this pull up here?
6987	Grandpapa, dear, may I speak to you a minute?
6987	Grandpapa, has he got any little whales?
6987	Grandpapa, where is it,--the Hook of Holland?
6987	Grandpapa, why is n''t that boy nice to that poor old man?
6987	Grandpapa,Phronsie prattled on,"that looks just like a little tent up there-- a little white tent; does n''t it, Grandpapa dear?"
6987	Grandpapa,asked Phronsie, laying her hand on his knee,"can I have this very same little house next time we come?"
6987	Grandpapa,asked Polly, suddenly, from the centre of the group,"what makes it so very warm up here, when we are all surrounded by snow?"
6987	Grandpapa,said Phronsie, pulling at his hand gently, as they walked slowly up and down the deck,"does your head ache?"
6987	Grandpapa,she whispered, pulling his hand gently to attract attention,"may that little boy and girl come, too, and hear about your whales?"
6987	Grandpapa,suddenly cried Phronsie, who had n''t taken her eyes from the man''s face,"what are you going to do-- where is he going?"
6987	Had n''t we better go?
6987	Have n''t I told you he was awful handsome? 6987 Have n''t those Pepper children got a good berth?"
6987	Have the goodness to put a string around it, will you?
6987	Have you found her?
6987	Here you, ca n''t you tell the name of that donkey?
6987	Here-- where are you two going?
6987	Hey, here, what are you about?
6987	Hey-- what?
6987	Hey-- who are you-- and what are you listening there for-- hey?
6987	Hey?
6987	How are you now, father?
6987	How can she help it, Polly?
6987	How can you ask it, Jasper? 6987 How can you?"
6987	How did she know?
6987	How did the pin look?
6987	How did you ever do it?
6987	How do you know she is n''t with Matilda, Polly?
6987	How else would you go, Jasper?
6987	How is it wrong?
6987	How is that, Tom, for an outing? 6987 I believe they do,"said Jasper,"but it is n''t like home miles, is it, Polly?"
6987	I mean if I may go with her? 6987 I think there is a round board under the cap,"she confided to Jasper when once out of doors;"how else could they be pulled so tight?
6987	I will dress Polly Pepper in a twinkling, Mamsie,declared Polly, laughing merrily;"O dear me, where_ is_ my other stocking?"
6987	If he had, why should he run in this fashion when I was just asking him where he lived?
6987	In the little brown where?
6987	Is Polly sick?
6987	Is it as big as my mountain here?
6987	Is it down there, Mamsie?
6987	Is it just exactly the same?
6987	Is it your birthday too? 6987 Is it?"
6987	Is n''t he common and horrid?
6987	Is n''t it good to take a long stretch? 6987 Is n''t it nice to think they do?"
6987	Is n''t it, Grandpapa?
6987	Is n''t this just richness?
6987	Is that really so?
6987	Is that so?
6987	Is that so?
6987	Is the park as big as that, Tom?
6987	Is there, Pet?
6987	It is a swarm, is n''t it?
6987	It is all perfectly splendid, Grandpapa; but oh, I mean,_ did_ you hear what that lady said?
6987	It''s just like buying things for Christmas, is n''t it, Jasper?
6987	It_ is_ beautiful, is n''t it?
6987	Jasper, do you suppose the children can have a good time here?
6987	Jasper, what_ shall_ we do?
6987	Just as the omnibuses in London are all covered over with posters,said Polly;"were n''t they funny, Jasper?"
6987	Lady? 6987 Like it?"
6987	Mamsie, do n''t these Dutch women do up things well, though?
6987	Mamsie, what is it? 6987 Mamsie,"said Polly,"I do n''t think Grandpapa has kept from doing anything he could to make us happy, do you, Mamsie?
6987	Marken?
6987	May I carry her?
6987	May I, Grandpapa?
6987	May my little granddaughter and I join you in a walk?
6987	No,said Phronsie,"only where is the hook, Grandpapa?
6987	Not coming back? 6987 Now tell us, was n''t he the most horrible old bore?"
6987	Now what in the world are you talking of?
6987	Now, do n''t you want to get off?
6987	Now, father, do n''t you like it?
6987	Now, how about the woollen stockings?
6987	Now, then, what will you have, Polly?
6987	Now,said Mother Fisher, with a great satisfaction in her voice,"may we sit down here on this bench, Mrs. Selwyn, and have that talk?"
6987	O dear me, how could I say anything?
6987	O dear me,said Adela, quite impressed;"well, what makes them not sag any more?"
6987	O dear me-- oh, what shall I do?
6987	O dear, dear, ca n''t we help them?
6987	O dear, did I knock that over?
6987	Oh, Adela, how_ could_ you?
6987	Oh, Fanny, why ca n''t you stay? 6987 Oh, Grandpapa, must we go?"
6987	Oh, Grandpapa, must we really go to bed?
6987	Oh, Grandpapa, what are they?
6987	Oh, Jasper, do they really beat each other?
6987	Oh, Jasper, have you the green one done?
6987	Oh, Jasper,Polly was saying,"did you really speak to me?"
6987	Oh, Mamsie, you did n''t think I could put those off?
6987	Oh, Mamsie,begged Phronsie,"may n''t Polly wear her white one?
6987	Oh, Mrs. Henderson, and do n''t forget to take over the new cap just as soon as you can, will you?
6987	Oh, Polly, did n''t you get more than that?
6987	Oh, Polly, do you see the windmills?
6987	Oh, Polly, look,said Jasper,"does n''t Amsterdam look fine?"
6987	Oh, about a dog, you wanted, did you?
6987	Oh, are you going out?
6987	Oh, ca n''t we go out right away and begin to buy the presents?
6987	Oh, dear Mrs. Henderson, do n''t you see it on the floor?
6987	Oh, did it hurt you?
6987	Oh, do you ever hunt rabbits?
6987	Oh, father,exclaimed Jasper, in dismay,"must we go in carriages?"
6987	Oh, is n''t he big, Grandpapa?
6987	Oh, is that it?
6987	Oh, is that you, Master Tom?
6987	Oh, may I carry her home, Grandpapa?
6987	Oh, no, Grandpapa,cried Polly,"I''d so much rather you told her-- please do, dear Grandfather?"
6987	Oh, sir,Polly lifted her face, flooded with rosy colour up to her brown hair,"if you only will forgive me?"
6987	Oh, that dreadful boy,said Fanny, carelessly, stretching out in her steamer chair comfortably;"well, who cares?
6987	Oh, what can we do?
6987	Oh, what is it, Mamsie-- Is anything the matter with Papa- Doctor?
6987	Oh, what is it?
6987	Oh, where is she, Grandpapa dear?
6987	Oh, will you help me? 6987 Oh, yes, yes, Grandpapa, please"--Phronsie beat her hands softly together--"to ride on top; may we,_ dear_ Grandpapa?"
6987	Oh,cried Polly, as the little group drew her and Mamsie into their arms,"are we all here?"
6987	Oh,said Phronsie, much mystified,"and does he go to school?"
6987	Oh,_ may_ we stay and hear it?
6987	Ought not to what?
6987	Our Baedekers will be a sight when we get home, wo n''t they, Polly?
6987	Phronsie, is your saddle all right? 6987 Phronsie,"Polly bent over and whispered close to the wet little cheek,"do n''t you see Grandpapa is feeling badly?
6987	Polly, where has the pretty red and pink gone to?
6987	Polly,he said abruptly,"do you know what I mean to do?"
6987	Polly,said Jasper, in a low voice,"it is n''t quite right, is it, to disturb the party now?
6987	Polly,said Phronsie, pulling her hand gently, as she peered up into her face,"are you looking at it?"
6987	Pray, what is the subject?
6987	Say, Grandpapa, what makes it?
6987	See here, Polly Pepper, do you play chess?
6987	Shall I help you?
6987	Shall I?
6987	She means the Hook of Holland,burst out Polly,"do n''t you, Phronsie pet?"
6987	She would if there were a cat to be found,said Polly;"do n''t you believe, Jasper, but what she would?"
6987	Should I, Grandpapa?
6987	Sister? 6987 So we could,"cried Jasper;"how would that do, Tom?"
6987	So you came after your old Grand- daddy, did you?
6987	Sorry?
6987	Stay over night?
6987	Tell me,she begged,"what is it, Grandpapa?"
6987	The children?
6987	Then he has n''t any little children?
6987	Then you can overcome your dislike to Paris enough to go there?
6987	Then you really will come?
6987	Then you will be all well, Polly?
6987	There are forty of those bells, are n''t there?
6987	There it is, Grandpapa,she cried, clapping her hands in delight,"the very littlest of all, and is n''t it beautiful, Grandpapa, dear?"
6987	They are terribly common people,said Fanny, her aristocratic nose well in the air,"are n''t they, Mamma?
6987	They look just like the big sunbonnets that Grandma Bascom always wore when she went out to feed her hens, do n''t they, Jasper?
6987	They''re awfully common people, are n''t they, Mamma,--those Selwyns?
6987	They''ve just washed it all up, have n''t they, Jasper?
6987	Tired, Polly, little woman?
6987	Under the very eaves of the Cathedral, almost, is n''t it?
6987	WELL, I GOT HIM HERE,SAID THE LITTLE EARL ILLUSTRATIONS"Now do n''t you want to get off?"
6987	Wait? 6987 Was anything ever more beautiful?"
6987	Was it an old fright with a long nose in a blue coat and ruffles, and as big as a turnip?
6987	Was n''t it good of Grandpapa,cried Polly,"to take us here the first thing after London?"
6987	We are getting on famously, are n''t we, Polly?
6987	We would soon get her out of all such notions, if we once had her with us, would n''t we, Mamma?
6987	We''ll try to, Mamsie,said Polly,"wo n''t we, Pet?"
6987	Wedding clothes?
6987	Well, I suppose we are all going to wait a bit?
6987	Well, are you really here?
6987	Well, bless me, we are up, are n''t we?
6987	Well, come on, do n''t you want a game of draughts?
6987	Well, how did you, Mamsie,Polly begged again,"first hear of the fire?
6987	Well, now, shall we turn him over to the_ sergents de ville? 6987 Well, was n''t it perfectly beautiful?"
6987	Well, what are they?
6987	Well, what can I do about it?
6987	Well, what colour?
6987	Well, what is it, then, you''ve lost?
6987	Well, what of it, Polly?
6987	Well, what''s the difference?
6987	Well, what''s to be done, now,--that is the question?
6987	What are shoals?
6987	What are those hooks for?
6987	What can I do for you?
6987	What can it be, Jasper?
6987	What did you want a sovereign for?
6987	What do the poor things do to beat off the flies, pray tell?
6987	What do you say, Mrs. Fisher? 6987 What do you want with money on board the boat?"
6987	What do you want?
6987	What does he stay down there for, then, say, Polly?
6987	What does it all-- the dreadful thing mean?
6987	What have you got, Phronsie?
6987	What in the world can you do with a Dutch cheese, child?
6987	What is a cad?
6987	What is a predicament?
6987	What is all this about?
6987	What is going over in that corner?
6987	What is it you have lost?
6987	What is it, Phronsie child?
6987	What is it, father?
6987	What is it-- oh, Grandpapa, what is it?
6987	What is it? 6987 What is it?"
6987	What is it?
6987	What is it?
6987	What is it?
6987	What is my donkey''s name?
6987	What kind of a cat is it you want?
6987	What makes it so cold up there, Grandpapa, when the sun shines?
6987	What makes the trunks look so green?
6987	What makes them sag so?
6987	What right has he to send such a piece of foolishness to my Polly Pepper? 6987 What''s a porpoise?"
6987	What''s all this?
6987	What''s happened?
6987	What''s that you say, Phronsie?
6987	What''s that? 6987 What''s this station, I wonder?"
6987	What''s up, little mother?
6987	What''s up?
6987	What, Pet? 6987 What, child?"
6987	What, sir?
6987	What? 6987 What?"
6987	What?
6987	What_ is_ the matter?
6987	Whatever can they be, Jasper?
6987	Where are they?
6987	Where are those girls?
6987	Where did you learn to draw so well?
6987	Where did you put it last night when you took it off, Polly?
6987	Where is it, Grandpapa?
6987	Which one would you rather have Polly make a try at, Phronsie?
6987	Which way?
6987	Which way?
6987	Who knows what such talent will do in the world? 6987 Who said I wanted him to come?
6987	Who was it?
6987	Who would n''t run with a lot of staring idiots flying at one?
6987	Who-- who?
6987	Who?
6987	Why ca n''t we wait for Polly?
6987	Why could n''t I, Polly, just like that girl I saw coming out of the door?
6987	Why did Tom run away so fast?
6987	Why did n''t we think of it before?
6987	Why did n''t you?
6987	Why do n''t some of you speak?
6987	Why do you tie up the heel?
6987	Why don''t-- why don''t-- you-- thank him?
6987	Why not, pray tell?
6987	Why, Polly Pepper, what are you thinking of?
6987	Why, where is Adela?
6987	Why-- what?
6987	Will he, Polly?
6987	Will they?
6987	Will you pass?
6987	Will you show me that shop to- morrow?
6987	Will your toes really and truly be happy, Polly?
6987	With green eyes?
6987	Wo n''t he ever come back?
6987	Wo n''t that make the gentleman sorry?
6987	Wo n''t the gentleman feel sorry?
6987	Would n''t it be nice?
6987	Would you, Pet?
6987	Yes, I am, Phronsie, awfully sorry,confessed the old gentleman;"but what good will that do now?
6987	Yes, Madam, and glad shall I be to set my foot on Old England again Hey, Tom, my boy, do n''t you say so?
6987	Yes, Pet,said Polly, looking all along the soft curves of the shore,"there are hundreds of them, are n''t there?"
6987	Yes, and she saw him and called him,said Polly,"did n''t you hear her?"
6987	Yes,said Jasper, glancing over at her,"is that your last page, Polly?"
6987	You are coming home this autumn, are n''t you?
6987	You do n''t wear gloves, do you, my dear?
6987	You not tink me nice looking-- so?
6987	You would-- no matter what you had to do to bring it about?
6987	_Turn him over?"
6987	--laughing gaily--"or dear old Badgertown?"
6987	--want one of those dear sweet little cheeses?"
6987	All the letters in your mail- bag are answered, you said?"
6987	An idiot?
6987	And did you ever see such a clumsy thing as that dreadful boy, and such big hands and feet?"
6987	And now he met them with,"Well, are you all here-- where''s Phronsie?"
6987	And oh, do n''t you wish we could run, Jasper?"
6987	And she threw her arms around her while Mr. Henderson exclaimed,"Of course, why did n''t we think of it, to be sure?"
6987	And the picture- gallery--""That is in the Maurit-- rit, whatever is the rest of it?
6987	And would Jasper never come back?
6987	And, although she did n''t say anything, old Mr. King guessed as much, and broke out suddenly,"Well, are you ready to start, Polly?"
6987	And--""Was it gold around it?"
6987	Are you looking at it, Polly?
6987	Bell?"
6987	Ca n''t we, Grandpapa?"
6987	Ca n''t you do it?"
6987	Can I do anything for you?"
6987	Did you hear me?"
6987	Do n''t you know that you will make Grandpapa very sick unless you stop?"
6987	Do n''t you remember when we first came to Hingham, Polly?"
6987	Do n''t you suppose there ever will be, Jasper?"
6987	Do you like it, child?"
6987	Do you suppose there are little teenty ones, Grandpapa dear, and I might get her a pair?"
6987	Do you?"
6987	Eh, my boy?"
6987	Fisher?"
6987	Fisher?"
6987	Fisher?"
6987	Goodness me, Jasper, what makes you run into a room in this fashion?"
6987	Gray?"
6987	Henderson?"
6987	Here you, stop a bit, will you?"
6987	Here, call a cab, will you?
6987	Hey?"
6987	How did you ever get so many things over here, in all this world, and why did n''t you let me stay with you?"
6987	How would you like that, Polly?"
6987	If we are going to send the box, why is n''t it best to begin the work at once?
6987	Is he your father?"
6987	Is n''t it beautiful, child?"
6987	Is n''t it, Jasper-- isn''t it?"
6987	Is n''t it, Jasper?"
6987	It was a long speech, and at its conclusion Mrs. Vanderburgh was still demanding,"Who-- who?"
6987	Mamsie, is n''t this pin for Alexia just too lovely for anything?"
6987	Mamsie, was n''t Papa Fisher splendid?
6987	May I tell you of ourselves some time, when a good opportunity offers for a quiet talk?"
6987	May the baby have this?"
6987	My sakes!--how many times do you expect me to tell you?
6987	Now you understand-- eh?"
6987	Oh, Adela, did you draw this?
6987	Oh, Polly, was n''t that Pentagonal Tower fine?
6987	Oh, ca n''t I stay awake?
6987	Oh, do n''t you want to hear about a funny cat, children?
6987	Oh, may I have him?
6987	Oh, yes,"said Polly, starting out of her revery with a little laugh,"you mean the sunset?"
6987	Porpoises go in schools,--why should n''t whales, pray tell?"
6987	Say, will you help me?
6987	Shall we?"
6987	So what else could he do, pray tell, but say"Yes"?
6987	Stop, will you?"
6987	That will be fine, wo n''t it, dear?"
6987	The next moment Mamsie seemed to say,"Is that my Polly?"
6987	To- morrow, maybe, when we go down from dis place, eh?"
6987	Tom''s face was all awry as Mr. King said,"And you mean to say, Mrs. Selwyn, that you really must move on to- morrow?"
6987	Was n''t father pleased when he got up to us, Tom, to think you had Phronsie in such good shape?
6987	Well, now you are here, would you like to come back to Scheveningen for a few days, Polly?"
6987	What are you wasting all this time for, crawling along in this fashion, Hobson, when you know we want to get on?"
6987	What could be the matter?
6987	What do you mean, Adela Gray?"
6987	What else is there to do, pray tell?"
6987	What in the world shall we do with the thing?"
6987	What is it they call it in German?"
6987	What is it, Samuel?"
6987	What would your father say to such a notion?"
6987	Where could she be?
6987	Where?"
6987	Who did do this?"
6987	Why did n''t you wake me up earlier, Mamsie?"
6987	Why, how could I?
6987	Why, what would be the good of our going up at all, pray tell, if we did n''t devote that much time to it and have a try for a sunrise?"
6987	Will it, Polly?"
6987	Would Jasper really persuade him to forget that laugh?
6987	Would n''t it be fine if we could take some home, to send to Badgertown?
6987	Would n''t that be nice?"
6987	Would that suit you, Pet?"
6987	XXII POLLY TRIES TO HELP"Mamsie, what shall we do?"
6987	Yes, I have been an idiot of the worst kind,"declared Mr. King,"and all the rest just as I say; rude and-- why, what is the matter, Phronsie?"
6987	You think they would like it, Phronsie?"
6987	You''ve got a pair of bright eyes as ever I see in a head; and what''s the good of''em if you ca n''t help in trouble like this?"
6987	addressing the woman,"how many children have you, pray tell?"
6987	asked Phronsie, in a rapture;"and do you think he has got any little girls?"
6987	cried Phronsie;"oh, Grandpapa,"clasping her hands,"how do they stay on?"
6987	demanded old Mr. King;"whom are you talking about, pray tell, Jasper?"
6987	exclaimed Mother Fisher, in surprise,"what is the matter?
6987	exclaimed Polly, springing to a sitting position, thereby giving her brown head a smart thump on the ceiling of the berth,"where are we, Mamsie?
6987	exclaimed Polly,"do you really mean it?"
6987	exclaimed her mother, sharply,"what is the matter with you?
6987	how many times shall I tell you?
6987	is n''t it''Oats, Peas, Beans, and Barley grow''?"
6987	not even going to visit one of his beloved hospitals?"
6987	said Jasper;"who could help it?
6987	she wailed,"my child; where is she?"
6987	snorted his father,"do n''t I know that?
6987	what is it?"
6987	what-- where?"
6987	what?"
6987	why, it is the middle of the night, is n''t it?"
5632	''A poor presentment, You will say we give; But cry you mercy, Sirs, and''?
5632	Afraid? 5632 Ah?
5632	Ah? 5632 Ai n''t I as good as he?"
5632	Ai n''t goin''in?
5632	Ai n''t he a beauty, though?
5632	All out?
5632	And he wo n''t come again?
5632	And how Ben''s putty was everlastingly tumbling out? 5632 And now to come parading her attentions upon me, it"--"Who-- who?"
5632	And pray what is it?
5632	And so you wanted me, did you, dear?
5632	And the door will open, and I''ll have Mamsie and dear Grandpapa?
5632	And the other is a woman?
5632	And we ought to do something to celebrate,said Polly,"at least do n''t you think so?"
5632	And what would the poor people here do without him?
5632	And who is he?
5632	And why may I not present a doll to Phronsie Pepper, if I care to, pray tell?
5632	And why not, pray?
5632	And you would n''t let her?
5632	Anything I can help you about?
5632	Are n''t you glad now that you did n''t find out about the secret?
5632	Are the persons men?
5632	Are they on sale yet?
5632	Are you glad?
5632	Are you going to give a dinner?
5632	Are you going to have a good- by party?
5632	Are you hurt?
5632	Are you ready?
5632	Are you really and truly very glad, Polly?
5632	Are you willing, Ben?
5632	Are you, Pet? 5632 Auntie, do you know?"
5632	Bad news?
5632	Beebe- Beebe, and who is he, pray?
5632	Beg your pardon,he said awkwardly, pulling open the door,"ai n''t you goin''to ride back?"
5632	Better?
5632	Bring Hortense-- where is that girl?
5632	But I shall ask her if she is willing to do it as a favor, Mrs. Chatterton; you quite understand that, of course?
5632	But I tell you it''s true,declared Van,"is n''t it, Percy?"
5632	But how about Joel and Phronsie?
5632	But whatever in the world do you want that trash for?
5632	But you?
5632	Ca n''t I be a Princess unless you sew up that purple paper?
5632	Ca n''t I bring you some salad?
5632	Ca n''t we buy them some children?
5632	Ca n''t we have some of those boys up from the Orphan Asylum?
5632	Compliment?
5632	Could you, Mr. Alstyne, give that to some one else? 5632 Cousin Horatio, do you keep a menagerie, or a well- ordered house, I beg to inquire?"
5632	Crying?
5632	Dat''s my own hair,said Candace, pointing to the doll''s head with pride,"so I know it''s good; an''ai n''t dat mouf pretty?"
5632	Dicky, would you like to have a secret?
5632	Did Papa- Doctor say so?
5632	Did n''t I say I wanted her?
5632	Did n''t Mrs. Chatterton save my life,he exploded,"when the real burglar was going for me?
5632	Did you cut that out?
5632	Did you ever see such a tea- party as you and I''ll have?
5632	Did you get my letter?
5632	Did you tell Polly?
5632	Did you, now?
5632	Die? 5632 Do I look just as I did when papa went away six months ago, Dicky?"
5632	Do I look nicely?
5632	Do n''t I know it?
5632	Do n''t I know it?
5632	Do n''t cry,said the little doctor,"and what''s the matter?"
5632	Do n''t they?
5632	Do n''t want to go back?
5632	Do n''t you believe we''d better put it off till some other night?
5632	Do n''t you see we are so much the richer, Phronsie? 5632 Do n''t you see,"said Polly, sitting down on the floor and cuddling up his head in her lap,"that Joel is really all right now?
5632	Do tell me, do n''t you think they will find Percy?
5632	Do we act as if we had been talked over?
5632	Do you know, Mrs. Chatterton, gray stuffs are to be worn more than ever this spring?
5632	Do you like it, Polly?
5632	Do you mean to say that I could n''t have handled the burglar?
5632	Do you really wish to go back to school, and put your mind on your books? 5632 Do you remember how you would carry the red- topped shoes home with you, Phronsie?"
5632	Do you remember when the old stove used to plague you, Polly?
5632	Do you suppose I''d pound a visitor?
5632	Do you suppose it, Polly?
5632	Do you think Sarah''ll ever bring that apple?
5632	Do you understand,presently began Mrs. Chatterton, fastening her cold blue eyes upon her,"what your position is in this house?
5632	Do you want it, Grandpapa?
5632	Do you want us all to go out, Phronsie?
5632	Do you want us to take this to Phronsie?
5632	Do you, Dick?
5632	Do you?
5632	Does she?
5632	Does the lady like it?
5632	Does your head ache often at school, Joel?
5632	Fight?
5632	Funny?
5632	Go out and listen, Percy, will you?
5632	Grandpapa,she said at last slowly,"I think I''d rather have the first pie, I really would, Grandpapa, may I?"
5632	Has Jasper got through reading? 5632 Has n''t she any home?"
5632	Has she been in here?
5632	Has she come back-- what brought her, pray tell, so soon?
5632	Has she gone?
5632	Has the mouse gone?
5632	Have I, sir?
5632	Have n''t I told you that you will help your mother only by not telling her?
5632	Have they? 5632 Have you any more raisins to give us, Grandma?"
5632	Have you ever had a doll?
5632	He is quite well, is n''t he?
5632	Here, my good fellow,to Mr. Tisbett,"you say it''s all comfortable in there for them?"
5632	Hey, my pet?
5632	Hey-- what''s this?
5632	Hey?
5632	Hey?
5632	Home? 5632 How can you when Phronsie is getting better?
5632	How d''ye, boys?
5632	How do you know we wo n''t?
5632	How do you like it, Clare and Bensie?
5632	How in the world do you make the thing roll out straight? 5632 How many dolls are there to refurbish before to- morrow?"
5632	How would you like to learn how to take care of yourself when you are a big girl?
5632	How-- how?
5632	I know Phronsie wants a story; do n''t you, Phronsie?
5632	I mean, made them want to go to England sooner, do n''t you, mamma?
5632	I shall not tell,Mrs. Chatterton was saying to herself in the other room;"what good could it do?
5632	I suppose you want me to cure that leg of yours, and make it as good as the other one, do n''t you?
5632	I want to go and see dear good Mr. Beebe,she said presently,"and nice Mrs. Beebe, can I, Mamsie?"
5632	I''m not tired,said Polly, not daring to ask"Is she better?"
5632	Is Dicky all right?
5632	Is Phronsie ready to come home?
5632	Is he all right?
5632	Is he-- is he-- is he?
5632	Is it a new dog?
5632	Is it possible?
5632	Is it really funny?
5632	Is n''t Dr. Fisher lovely?
5632	Is n''t he a fine old chap? 5632 Is n''t it lovely,"cried Mrs. Whitney,"to have a boy who is beginning to find his lungs?"
5632	Is n''t she a goose?
5632	Is n''t that splendid? 5632 Is n''t there anything else I can do, Mamsie?"
5632	Is she dead?
5632	Is that all?
5632	Is that all?
5632	Is that any better?
5632	Is that your way of making up?
5632	Is the lace going on all around the bottom?
5632	It''s almost done, is n''t it, child?
5632	It''s going to snow to- morrow, I think,observed Jasper, squinting up at the leaden sky,"is n''t it, father?"
5632	It''s only yesterday since you took me to drive, Dr. Fisher, and you gave me my stove-- is it?
5632	It''s''stay,''is n''t it, father?
5632	Jasper, wo n''t she be delighted?
5632	Jasper, would n''t you like to see Joel''s eyes when Aunt Whitney leads him into the private box?
5632	Jefferson? 5632 Joel,"exclaimed Jasper suddenly, clapping him on the shoulder,"I''m going round to the gymnasium; want to go with me?"
5632	Keep still, will you?
5632	Leave your fingers off from it, ca n''t you?
5632	Madame,exclaimed Hortense breathlessly, meeting her within the door,"de modiste will not send de gown; you must"--"Will not send it?"
5632	Mamma,he said at last,"is n''t it good that God did n''t give boys and girls to Mr. Duyckink?
5632	Mamsie is always right, is n''t she, Jasper?
5632	Mamsie, do n''t you think she ought to have a shawl on?
5632	Mamsie, do you suppose his head aches?
5632	Marian,said old Mr. King, putting his head in at the door of her little writing- room,"ca n''t you get her comfortably out of the way this morning?
5632	May I bring Elsie Fay? 5632 May I just stretch a wee little bit, Polly,"she asked timidly,"before you pin it up?
5632	May I read some more?
5632	May I?
5632	May we-- may we?
5632	Miss Mary Pepper?
5632	Miss Mary Pepper?
5632	Miss Mary,said the maid, interrupting,"what do you mean?
5632	Mother Pepper? 5632 Mrs. Chatterton, have you seen him?"
5632	Must a person keep a promise?
5632	Must they yet, Grandpapa?
5632	My neck aches, and my side, and my head,said Mrs. Chatterton irritably;"why do you not do as I bid you?"
5632	Never had one?
5632	Never?
5632	Nicely?
5632	No, no,said Van;"it''ll be good for him, and knock the other thing out of his head, do n''t you see, Percy?
5632	Not your pie?
5632	Now do you want her to stay?
5632	Now is n''t that fine, Phronsie?
5632	Now what is it all about? 5632 Now what is to be done about it?"
5632	Now where shall I get it, and where shall I put it when I do have it?
5632	Now would you like oysters?
5632	Now, Clare, you must remember not to give such a shriek when you go on, must n''t he, Jappy? 5632 Now, Phronsie, what do you suppose we are to do next?"
5632	One of the children that your kindness received in this house?
5632	Only peg away when I have the mind?
5632	PHRONSIE GIVING AWAY HER DOLLS, MAMSIE?
5632	Percy,said Van,"come out in the hall, will you?"
5632	Phronsie is coming downstairs to- morrow, is n''t she?
5632	Phronsie, are you sure you are warm enough?
5632	Phronsie, it''s all very funny, is n''t it?
5632	Phronsie, wo n''t this be perfectly lovely? 5632 Phronsie,"said Jasper, as the sound of the two voices could be heard in Mother Fisher''s room,"do n''t you want to come into my den?
5632	Phronsie,said Jasper, bending to speak into her ear,"do you know you are making Polly feel very unhappy?
5632	Playing games, hey?
5632	Polly wants something, first; what is it, Joel?
5632	Polly, did I ever have anything but make- believe in the little brown house; ever, Polly?
5632	Polly, speak to her,he cried in despair;"where is she?
5632	Polly, will you?
5632	Polly,said Alexia in a stage whisper, and jumping up as Jencks disappeared, to run over to the row,"do you suppose they are dolls?"
5632	Pretty, are n''t they?
5632	Right away?
5632	Say, Percy Whitney?
5632	Say, Polly, do n''t stay away a whole year, will you?
5632	Say, Polly,cried another girl,"do n''t you have to take a lot of pills and stuff, now that Dr. Fisher is your father?"
5632	Say, my girl?
5632	Shall I get you an ice, Miss Polly?
5632	Shall I, Candace?
5632	She does n''t stay in this house, does she, Jasper?
5632	She''s paid to take care of me; what right has she to think of anything else?
5632	So does any one who does a kind act,replied Mrs. Pepper, wiping her eyes;"well, sir, now how shall we manage about going back?"
5632	So you always bought your new shoes of the Beebes?
5632	So you are intending to honor me, are you?
5632	Still unconscious-- Would no one ever come near her but this detestable maid, with her still more detestable news?
5632	Tell them? 5632 That heavy plate?"
5632	The Dickens she did,exclaimed the old gentleman;"so she has had a last word with you, has she?
5632	The flowers were pretty, but the cake was heavy, do n''t you remember?
5632	The present may be well enough; though I should think existence with that low, underbred family here, would be a?
5632	The rest of the family are afflicted in the same way, are n''t they?
5632	Then I think we''ll decide now to ask him,said Polly,"do n''t you, Jasper?"
5632	There, now, my boy, how''s that?
5632	There, will you stay down?
5632	There,he said, standing up straight,"lie there, will you?"
5632	These four days will give you strength for your''exams,''wo n''t they, Joe?
5632	Tie me up?
5632	To be sure,exclaimed Jasper, looking around,"where is the Princess''s page?"
5632	To see you?
5632	Took it twice?
5632	Well enough,said Joel,"but why did n''t you make more of it?
5632	Well, Phronsie, you love Dr. Fisher, do n''t you?
5632	Well, and I did n''t when I said so, but circumstances are changed now-- come, guess quickly, some one?
5632	Well, and if I may ask, what brought you now, Eunice?
5632	Well, and what are you thinking of, pray tell?
5632	Well, is the important conference over?
5632	Well, sir, how did you like it?
5632	Well, so Dick rolled off?
5632	Well, we have had a happy time together, have n''t we? 5632 Well, well, dear, what is it?"
5632	Well, what are their names? 5632 Well, what is it?"
5632	Well, what would you do, Polly child, to show the youngsters we''re proud of them, and glad to get them back-- hey?
5632	Well, who is she?
5632	Whar''s little Miss?
5632	What are you doing, Phronsie?
5632	What are you here for?
5632	What could you get her,cried Mr. Whitney,"in the way of a doll?
5632	What did he want Town Talk for?
5632	What did she say?
5632	What do you mean?
5632	What do you suppose he''s doing?
5632	What do you want?
5632	What else?
5632	What for?
5632	What girls?
5632	What have you got, Dick?
5632	What in the world are you firing at?
5632	What is Dr. Fisher going to do?
5632	What is a pick- pocket?
5632	What is it, Joe?
5632	What is it, Polly? 5632 What is it, Polly?"
5632	What is it, pray, since you understand it so well?
5632	What is it? 5632 What is it?"
5632	What is the matter?
5632	What is toding?
5632	What next, Polly? 5632 What were they, pray tell?
5632	What''s poetic license?
5632	What''s the fun down there now?
5632	What''s the matter?
5632	What''s the trouble up there?
5632	What''s up?
5632	What, what?
5632	What? 5632 What?"
5632	What?
5632	When I grow a big girl, will anybody want me to do those things that you are going to teach me?
5632	When?
5632	Where are you going?
5632	Where are you, Dick?
5632	Where can she be? 5632 Where have you been, Polly?"
5632	Where is it?
5632	Where is she?
5632	Where is the girl? 5632 Where''s Jasper?"
5632	Where''s Phronsie?
5632	Where''s Phronsie?
5632	Where''s Polly?
5632	Where?
5632	Who cares?
5632	Who do you think is going abroad with us?
5632	Who is he?
5632	Who is she?
5632	Who was steering?
5632	Who, mamma?
5632	Who-- Polly?
5632	Who-- who? 5632 Who?"
5632	Who?
5632	Who?
5632	Who?
5632	Why did n''t he speak? 5632 Why did n''t you tell me, Phronsie,"asked the old gentleman a bit reproachfully as they reached the top step,"how it was, dear?
5632	Why did n''t you tell us before that it was he?
5632	Why not say so?
5632	Why should any one else interfere in the matter?
5632	Why, what does Grandpapa say?
5632	Why, where is Phronsie?
5632	Why? 5632 Will you allow me?"
5632	Will you come?
5632	Will you let her stay, Grandpapa-- will you?
5632	Will you send her back as soon as possible?
5632	Will you?
5632	Wo n''t Phronsie be delighted when she hears it talk?
5632	Wo n''t that be nice, Phronsie?
5632	Would it be so very wrong to open one box, and just relieve our suspense? 5632 Would n''t I mamma?"
5632	Yes, of course; but after that, what shall I do?
5632	Yet what shall I give her if I do n''t buy a doll?
5632	You always tell her everything, do you, Ben?
5632	You do n''t mean me, Joey?
5632	You do n''t think they will, Grandpapa dear, do you? 5632 You want Mother Pepper too, I presume?"
5632	You''re not hurt anywhere else, are you, Joey?
5632	You''re sure you wo n''t let me go?
5632	You''ve had a good time?
5632	You''ve often wanted to have a cry out?
5632	Your poor head, does it ache?
5632	12 New Work for Polly 13 A Piece of News 14 Mamsie''s Wedding 15 Mrs. Chatterton Has a New Plan 16 Where Is Phronsie?
5632	Almost, have n''t I?"
5632	Alstyne?"
5632	And dropping her fingers quickly and turning away from the glass, she exclaimed,"How dare you, Hortense, come in without knocking?"
5632	And everything turned dark before her eyes-- Was Phronsie dead?
5632	And he''ll bring his funny old gig, wo n''t he, and Ill drive sometimes, I suppose?"
5632	And is that Phronsie?
5632	And now, will you kiss me, child?"
5632	And so I''m going to ask you both to get me something to eat, will you?"
5632	And what is a grinder, please?"
5632	And where is he, pray?"
5632	Anybody else in favor of the Peppers?"
5632	As Polly did not answer, the question was repeated very sharply:"Do you understand what your position is in this house?"
5632	But he''s a beauty, ai n''t he, though?"
5632	But how?
5632	But what was the use of a fine manner when there was nobody but a little back- country maiden to see it?
5632	Ca n''t some one think of one?"
5632	Call Hortense, will you?"
5632	Can you, Jasper?
5632	Chatterton?"
5632	Chatterton?"
5632	Chatterton?"
5632	Dear me, where are my books?"
5632	Did n''t Grandpapa help you just one teeny bit to make the legs and the hands?"
5632	Did you ever think of that, Polly?"
5632	Do n''t you hear them talking in the library?"
5632	Do n''t you see?
5632	Do n''t you suppose something will happen to take her away?"
5632	Do n''t you understand?"
5632	Do n''t you want to take them up to the playroom and distribute the dolls?"
5632	Do you know I love you very much, Jefferson, you''re so very good to me?"
5632	Do you know what patience means?"
5632	Do you suppose papa will be always going to Europe then?"
5632	Do you think she will like it, Polly?"
5632	Do you want me to tell you how?"
5632	Do, Polly, will you?"
5632	Does n''t she fight with everybody?"
5632	Dr. Fisher could not for his life, refrain from asking curiously, as he did as requested,"Been having a pull at the books, eh, Joe?"
5632	Find some description of tea gowns, ca n''t you?
5632	Has she, Jane?"
5632	Have they no sense, to carry on like this?"
5632	Henderson?"
5632	Here, ca n''t you be a little more careful to keep the road?"
5632	How can I ever teach it, if I do n''t go, pray tell?"
5632	How d''ye do, Thomas?"
5632	How''s the leg, Dicky?"
5632	I believe she''s Mrs. Dr. Fisher, is n''t she?"
5632	I suppose you have heard the trouble at the Kings?
5632	I supposed the double ripper all right; did n''t you, Ben?"
5632	Is it animal, vegetable or mineral, Jasper?"
5632	Is n''t anybody smart enough to guess them?
5632	Is n''t that so, Doctor?"
5632	Is that all you brought me up here to say?"
5632	It does n''t look the same way, do n''t you see?"
5632	It''s too bad, is n''t it, that Dick ca n''t be here to- day to rehearse his part?"
5632	Jasper as wildly reminiscent now as the others, for had n''t he almost as good as lived at the little brown house, pray tell?
5632	Joel, are you worse?"
5632	Just a very little bit?"
5632	Just one, Polly?"
5632	Just think, child, whatever in the world would Grandpapa do, or any of us, pray tell?"
5632	Mamma, wo n''t you stop them?"
5632	Mamsie, is n''t dear Mr. King just the dearest dear, to give all this to the boys?
5632	Mamsie,"and she rushed over to her,"can we have a baking time to- morrow, just as we used to in the old days?
5632	Mamsie,"she threw down the brush and ran over to put her head in the closet,"where did she go?"
5632	May I, Polly?"
5632	Not a thing, sir, do you hear?"
5632	Now how shall we manage them?"
5632	Now that point''s settled about Phronsie''s party, wo n''t you all go out?
5632	Now what comes next, Phronsie?"
5632	Now what do you suppose she has for you, Phronsie?"
5632	Now who are they?"
5632	Now, then, Jasper, is Jencks ready with the lantern?"
5632	Now, why can not I read a bit?"
5632	Obey?
5632	Oh, Phronsie dear, so you went down to bid Grandpapa good- night, did you?"
5632	Pepper?"
5632	Phronsie was about to ask,"Why does not Hortense go up for it?"
5632	Polly, why do n''t you say something?"
5632	Rather different, is n''t it, old fellow, from the time when I used to race over from Hingham with Prince at my heels?"
5632	Rather have the first pie?"
5632	Say, did n''t she?"
5632	She knew he wanted her to try a new duet he had gone down town to purchase; but how could she play with such a storm in her heart?
5632	She put up her eyeglass at the intrusion and murmured"Ah?"
5632	Should she dare to scream?
5632	Stay, where is Joel?"
5632	Suppose we had n''t a Father Fisher who was a doctor, what should we do then?"
5632	The drama, pure and simple, is forgot In tugging in the moral''"?
5632	Then I guess she will be glad, do n''t you?"
5632	Upstairs Polly was at work with happy fingers, Alexia across the room, asking every third minute,"Polly, how does it go?
5632	Was all the world arrayed against her, to take up with those hateful interlopers in her cousin''s home?
5632	Was any other ever so bright and beautiful?
5632	Was this the first meeting with the girls to which she had looked forward so long?
5632	We have a princess, to be sure''"?
5632	Well, and how about the wonderful play on the twenty- first?
5632	Well, how do you like the plan?"
5632	Well, it''s too bad about Phronsie''s party, is n''t it?"
5632	Well, what next do you propose to do, Polly?"
5632	Were not two cases of blankets and household comforts safely packed away in the luggage car?
5632	What are you talking about?
5632	What in the world could you do, Polly?
5632	What news?"
5632	What next, Polly?"
5632	What shall we do?"
5632	What was it all about, Polly?"
5632	What''s a bit of tissue paper to the glory of being a Princess?"
5632	What''s next, Jap?"
5632	Where else is she, if she has n''t run away, pray tell?"
5632	Why are n''t you at the club spread?"
5632	Why could n''t Mr. Marks be sick longer than that, if he was going to be sick at all, pray?"
5632	Why do n''t you ask questions about my secret?"
5632	Why does n''t Grandpapa come?"
5632	Why wo n''t this other one behave, and fall into a pretty curve, I wonder?"
5632	Why, it''s what I''ve been studying and working for, and how else do you suppose I can ever repay dear Grandpapa for helping me?"
5632	Why, what would she ever do without you?
5632	Why-- why could n''t I have remembered it?"
5632	Will it break up your study much?"
5632	Will no one come to say she is better?"
5632	Will no one guess?"
5632	Will your mother ever forgive me, Polly?"
5632	Would you like Dr. Fisher for a father?"
5632	XVI WHERE IS PHRONSIE?
5632	XXII JOEL"Hate school?"
5632	You are sure Mr. King has n''t persuaded you to like it?"
5632	You get it, will you, Hannah?"
5632	You know you wo n''t fight, and I wo n''t again; we both said so a little while back; so what''s the good of holding out now?"
5632	You must n''t believe him, Polly, You wo n''t, will you?"
5632	You should n''t fly into such rages; they wear on one fearfully; and especially for a stranger too, and against your own people-- how can you?"
5632	You wo n''t be frightened, will you, pet, at those dear, sweet old dragons?"
5632	are they for me?"
5632	asked Alexia; the uncomfortable walk might be enlivened by a bit of stray gossip;"what is it, Polly?
5632	asked Phronsie,"a really and truly promise, Grandpapa?"
5632	asked Polly,"or any children?"
5632	better, is she?"
5632	bless my soul, what should I want to marry for at my time of life?
5632	called Joel, edging up,"why do n''t you talk to me?"
5632	called Mr. Tisbett, to his smoking horses, and leaning over, he cried,"What''s the matter in there?"
5632	could you get me a copy of"Town Talk?"
5632	cried Dick dolefully,"what''s the reason we must wait a whole week, pray tell?"
5632	cried Dick in a spasm of excitement,"coming right straight away, mamma?"
5632	cried Dick, turning around in his chair, and regarding her enviously,"all alone by yourself?
5632	cried Jasper, putting his head in the doorway,"what good fun is going on?
5632	cried Joel with curiosity;"some more mysteries?
5632	cried Joel, prancing out of the car first, and"How d''ye do, Polly?"
5632	cried Phronsie suddenly, and lifting her head, she fastened her brown eyes on the face above her,"was n''t Mamsie''s birthday cake good?"
5632	cried Polly, and then away they rushed again into"Oh, do n''t you remember this, and you have n''t forgotten that?"
5632	cried Polly, burrowing deeper within the pillow folds,"why are n''t pleasant things best to do?
5632	cried Polly, convulsively clinging to her,"are you really here, and is Dicky home?"
5632	cried Van, rushing over the flat stone, and past Mrs. Pepper,"where''s Joel?
5632	dear Grandpapa, will Mrs. Chatterton die?"
5632	demanded Joel belligerently, and advancing on Percy,"say?
5632	did you fall?"
5632	do n''t you see it''s only Percy and Van?"
5632	do n''t you see what it will all tend to?"
5632	do you suppose she will?"
5632	exclaimed Alexia, as a turn in the drive brought the two figures in view of the music- room windows,"did you ever see such a sight in your life?
5632	exclaimed Mr. King sharply, for his surprise was too great to allow of composure,"who has been putting this idea into your head?
5632	exclaimed Mrs. Chatterton angrily,"and pray how long since your thoughts have been so valuable?"
5632	exclaimed Polly, seizing the doll, and skillfully evading the question,"what a lovely dress-- and the apron is a dear"--"Ai n''t it?"
5632	exclaimed the cook, shutting up one eye to look through the other in a spasm of delight at an imaginary pie;"so it''s for Miss Mary, is it?"
5632	gone for the water?
5632	have they?"
5632	he called sharply,"here, where are you?"
5632	he exclaimed;"are these tall boys and girls the five little Peppers?
5632	he screamed,"do n''t you see, Thomas?"
5632	how can you?"
5632	how could they?
5632	how could you?"
5632	how is she?"
5632	how many of ye be there?
5632	hummed Phronsie;"is n''t that just lovely?"
5632	is n''t is possible to be married without sixty- five friends to stare at you?"
5632	it was perfectly awful, was n''t it, Dave?"
5632	let me be, will you?"
5632	said Phronsie, flying off from the lovely corner, to straighten out again into the dignity required;"not when they are little girls, Polly?"
5632	said the boy;"is this right, Alexia?"
5632	she begged;"please do tell me, sir?"
5632	she cried in a tremor of delight,"and will you really have it on the table, and cut it with Aunt Whitney''s big silver knife?"
5632	she said slowly at last,"well, what do you want to say?
5632	there is so much,"said Polly despairingly, clasping her hands,"we should n''t get through if we talked ten years, should we, Ben?
5632	those lovely little lace arrangements,"said Mrs. Whitney hastily;"do n''t you know how exquisite they are at Pinaud''s?"
5632	turning to him,"why could n''t we have the club next week, Wednesday night?"
5632	well, did you ever think that-- that your mother might possibly marry again?"
5632	what do you mean?"
5632	what has happened?"
5632	what have I done?"
5632	what is it, dear?"
5632	what is it?
5632	what is it?"
5632	what is the matter with Joey?"
5632	what is the matter, Polly?"
5632	what shall we do, sir?"
5632	what shall we do?"
5632	what you goin''that way for?"
5632	where have you been, Polly Pepper,"said Mr. King, settling his eyeglass to regard her closely,"not to hear the uproar in this house?
5632	where''d you get that, and where are you going?"
5632	where''s Grandpapa?"
5632	where''s Joel?"
5632	where?"
5632	whispered Polly, back again,"just look at Mrs. Chatterton''s face, and at poor Phronsie''s; ca n''t you do something, Jasper?"
5632	who wants to hear about them?"
5632	who?"
5632	will she die?"
5632	will you play that concerto, the one you played when Mary Gibbs was here at tea last week?
5632	wo n''t it be entrancing to- night?"
5632	you do suppose it will be good, do n''t you?"
5632	you would n''t quite do that?"
35178	''Some of the a- r- t- i- c- l- e- s--''What in the world is that?
35178	A common country fellow just now spoke to me on the long path; fancy that, will you? 35178 A letter?"
35178	Ai n''t you going to have it wrapped up?
35178	All about what?
35178	Am I?
35178	Am I?
35178	An''Mr. Cabot gib you dat did he, fer a present?
35178	An''don''you''member how I matched dat pink ribbin? 35178 An''where''d she say that, if you please?"
35178	And did he get into his sleigh?
35178	And did you suppose we''d give Grandpapa a pen without a handle, Joey?
35178	And is n''t Father good to give me a new set? 35178 And now hurry, child, for here''s Ben coming,"as steps sounded in the hall, and then his voice asking,"Where''s Mamsie?"
35178	And now what?
35178	And now, what have you done with the check?
35178	And where do you live?
35178	And whom have we here?
35178	Anything I can show you, madam?
35178	Anything else for second choice?
35178	Are Matthew and Mark goin''?
35178	Are n''t they so?
35178	Are some boys coming?
35178	Are you Polly?
35178	Are you going?
35178	Are you sick, Polly?
35178	Are you sure you are through?
35178	Are you sure, madam, that you are not hurt?
35178	Ask him what?
35178	At Miss Barnard''s, is she?
35178	Aunty,--Polly flew down the steps,--"oh, ca n''t we,"she cried desperately,"go over and get Alexia; ca n''t we, Aunty?"
35178	Ben, what in the world is the matter?
35178	Bensie, are you here? 35178 But do n''t you understand that these things will hurt Jasper?"
35178	But if you hain''got''em, why you hain'',said Candace, with decision;"so what''s de nex''bes''ting to do?"
35178	But the name,--you can not think of it?
35178	But what have the children to do with it?
35178	But what is it?
35178	But where will you keep all your eatables?
35178	But where?
35178	But why should I wait before I see him?
35178	COULD YOU TAKE HIM, BEN?
35178	Ca n''t I, Polly? 35178 Ca n''t go?
35178	Ca n''t you let up on him, Bony?
35178	Ca n''t you play ball with him?
35178	Ca n''t you read your letter and let Polly tell just the same? 35178 Ca n''t you see the minister comin''?
35178	Can they?
35178	Can we go now?
35178	Can we, Papa Fisher?
35178	Candace, do you really want Jocko; really and truly?
35178	Caps? 35178 Check?
35178	Come on, Ben, where shall we tie him?
35178	Dear me, yes; what do you suppose could have induced me to go into such a mob?
35178	Dear me,she said, looking at her palm,"what have we here, Joel?"
35178	Did I what?
35178	Did I? 35178 Did n''t you?"
35178	Did she hear?
35178	Did you ever see such sweet little fingers?
35178	Did you promise her?
35178	Did you say there was a letter come in that box?
35178	Did you, Mammy?
35178	Did you?
35178	Do come out,cried Ben;"whoever heard of trying to put on a coat in a closet?
35178	Do n''t I though?
35178	Do n''t say anything, Joel,said Ben, hurriedly, and dragging him off;"here, just look at that steam- engine, will you?"
35178	Do n''t we?
35178	Do n''t you know the boys you are going to give the clothes to?
35178	Do n''t you know what they''ve been doing?
35178	Do n''t you see they''re a good bit on the way home already?
35178	Do n''t you see, Mother? 35178 Do n''t you wish you may get''em?"
35178	Do n''t you wish you may?
35178	Do you keep gloves?
35178	Do you like it?
35178	Do you mean I''m to go without you, ma''am?
35178	Do you mean it; are we going to do anything, Ben?
35178	Do you mean we are not to go, Mamsie?
35178	Do you realize,he said at length,"that you would break down all Ben''s best powers if you had your way with him?"
35178	Do you suppose for an instant that I''m going to play on that old table when I have a brand- new one that Sister Marian gave me last night? 35178 Do you t''ink any mouse is a- goin''to touch my t''ings when he can hear dat ar monkey a- singin''an''carryin''on?
35178	Do you want Jocko?
35178	Do you, Grandpapa?
35178	Do you, though?
35178	Does n''t it?
35178	Does she? 35178 Does she?"
35178	Don''I?
35178	Don''you?
35178	Easy, easy there; sho now, ca n''t you let her get down?
35178	Elvira,said Polly, getting down on her knees to look into the angry eyes,"what did I tell you?
35178	Emily?
35178	For shame?
35178	For whom?
35178	Goodness me, have you kept that up all the while I''ve been gone?
35178	Got a ball, Pip?
35178	Had n''t I better hold it?
35178	Had n''t what? 35178 Halloo, Polly, you there?"
35178	Has any one dared to speak to our Bony?
35178	Has any one seen Mamsie?
35178	Has she gone?
35178	Has that girl got to pay?
35178	Have I?
35178	Have n''t you?
35178	Have we?
35178	Have you found him, Ben?
35178	Have you got any caps?
35178	Having a good time, Pip?
35178	He ai n''t gone an''chewed up dat ar pincushion you made Mas''r Jasper?
35178	He won''send him away to de Zoo, will he, honey?
35178	He''s a-- sweet-- dear-- little thing--at last he made out to say,"isn''t-- he-- Polly?"
35178	He''s done gone to-- whar''s dat place he come from, Miss Polly?
35178	Hey-- Harrison road? 35178 Hey-- what is it?"
35178	Hey? 35178 Hey?
35178	Hey? 35178 Hey?
35178	Hey?
35178	Hey?
35178	Hey?
35178	His-- his father is dead?
35178	Hoh, do n''t you wish you may get it, Joe Pepper, do n''t you, now?
35178	Honest Injun, now?
35178	How am I going to lose it?
35178	How can I tell?
35178	How did you know, Joel? 35178 How is he?"
35178	How much did it cost?
35178	How much is it?
35178	How much is it?
35178	How much is it?
35178	How''d she get hurt?
35178	How''d you know, Master Ben?
35178	How?
35178	Hush up, Grayson, ca n''t you have some sense?
35178	I do n''t believe Ben will want to go very often,said Jasper, with a little laugh,"will you, old fellow?"
35178	I know you''re sick,contradicted Joel, stubbornly; and bounding to his feet,"Where''s Mamsie?"
35178	I mean_ she_,--has_ she_ gone?
35178	I see,said Mother Fisher,"it''s the one Grandpapa gave you last birthday, is n''t it, Phronsie?"
35178	I''m not going to stay by myself,cried Joel, in the greatest distress,"need I, Polly?"
35178	I''m not going; I wo n''t, I won''t,--I--"Joey, what_ is_ the matter?
35178	I''ve got a letter?
35178	I''ve got a letter?
35178	Is Aunty Whitney sick?
35178	Is Mrs. Whitney out in the carriage?
35178	Is it true-- is Jasper coming home?
35178	Is it? 35178 Is it?"
35178	Is n''t Aunty Whitney too lovely for anything to take us out to buy our Christmas presents? 35178 Is n''t home?"
35178	Is n''t it no end jolly that we''re going, Polly?
35178	Is that all?
35178	Is that so, Jane?
35178	Is there anything else you want, Master Jasper?
35178	It''s the littlest, ai n''t it?
35178	Jocko? 35178 Joel, did you promise to go and help Madam Van Ruypen?"
35178	Let me see,--the old gentleman drummed on the writing- table, rubbing his white hair with an absorbed hand,--"Lef-- Lef?
35178	Let us in, Pepper, will you?
35178	Look up, pet; now do n''t you want to buy Grandpapa a big, big present with all of us?
35178	MR. KING, WHO IS THAT PIP YOU HAVE HERE?

35178	Never mind, what is it?
35178	No, I did n''t bite you, did I, Pip?
35178	No, really?
35178	No, we are not,said Polly,"really and truly we are not; are we, Ben?"
35178	Not the first evening you were at home?
35178	Not when we are going to buy them?
35178	Now ca n''t we open the bundles?
35178	Now do n''t you see how you are frightening this child to death?
35178	Now how yer goin''ter git by, an''what be yer runnin''so fur anyway, Mis''Hansell?
35178	Now is n''t that fine?

35178	Now then, sir, what is it?
35178	Now then, what is it? 35178 Now this is jolly, is n''t it?"
35178	Now which do you choose?
35178	Now which one of the girls shall you allow to go to Madam Van Ruypen''s?
35178	Now, Alexia, are n''t you ashamed to act so?
35178	Now, is n''t he a dear?
35178	Now, then, Ben, are these all the things you can find here, pray tell?
35178	Now, then, what is it, my lad?
35178	Now, what did I tell you?
35178	Now, what is it, Matilda Hansell?
35178	Now, what shall we do, Ben Pepper? 35178 Now, who is Polly?"
35178	O dear, where is Papa Doctor?
35178	Oh, Aunt will let me quick enough,said Alexia;"but do you really mean it?
35178	Oh, Ben, what is it?
35178	Oh, I say,began Pickering, after this had gone on for some minutes,"this is a sweet way to go to Mr. King''s, is n''t it?"
35178	Oh, Joel, what is it?
35178	Oh, Joel,--Polly seized his hands and stood quite still,--"you do n''t mean Jasper is coming soon?"
35178	Oh, Joey, what is it?
35178	Oh, Mamsie, what_ is_ the matter with Ben?
35178	Oh, Polly,she exclaimed,"are you sick?"
35178	Oh, am I?
35178	Oh, and ca n''t she stay over night, Aunty?
35178	Oh, are you back again?
35178	Oh, dem?

35178	Oh, he won''send him to de Zoo, will he, Miss Polly?
35178	Oh, how do you do?
35178	Oh, if you do n''t mind-- are you tired of chess?
35178	Oh, ma''am,she cried,"ca n''t you tell me who you are, and we will get you home?"
35178	Oh, mercy me, what you been a- eatin'', Susan? 35178 Oh, no, he wo n''t touch it; will you, Davie?"
35178	Oh, only one?
35178	Oh, say,he broke out, and down the book went to the floor,"what shall we do now, I wonder?"
35178	Oh, that''s good,cried Jasper;"and nothing has happened to him, I hope?"
35178	Oh, what did you do last night?
35178	Oh, what was it? 35178 Oh, wo n''t it?"
35178	Oh, ye''ve waked up, hev ye?
35178	Oh, you do n''t suppose he does, Ben, do you?
35178	Oh, you naughty, naughty-- Oh, Ben, what has Jocko got in his mouth? 35178 Oh, you want to pay for it?"
35178	Outdoors?
35178	Party?
35178	Percy-- Van-- what is it, do you know?
35178	Pickering Dodge, we are n''t near Mr. King''s yet,she declared, peering out;"we have n''t got to-- oh, yes we have-- O dear me, what shall we do?"
35178	Pip?
35178	Polly Pepper, where_ are_ you going?
35178	Polly Pepper,gasped Alexia,"how can you say so?
35178	Polly, ca n''t I? 35178 Polly, how can you?"
35178	Polly,said Jasper, and his dark eyes shone,"I think Ben can do just anything, do n''t you, if he tries?"
35178	Put what back?
35178	Read what?
35178	Really, Ben?
35178	Sakes alive, Mis''Hansell, are you deef?
35178	Say Matilda could carry the letter part way?
35178	Say, Polly, did you ever know anything like it?
35178	See dar now, Miss Polly, did you eber know I had dat in my shop?
35178	See here, ca n''t you do something for him?
35178	See, it''s thick and warm, is n''t it?
35178	Sha n''t you tell her you sent it?
35178	Shall I read to you, Jasper?
35178	She''ll get all tired out to begin with,she said to Ben,"then what should we do?"
35178	She''ll hear us now, anyway,said Joel, thrust into the depths of gloom, his independence completely deserting him;"what''ll we do?"
35178	Shin?
35178	Shore?
35178	So you like it,--eh?
35178	So you want a cat?
35178	So?
35178	Stay,she laid a detaining hand upon his arm;"where did he live?"
35178	The big man, the one who''s ahead of you all?
35178	The question is, Will she allow me to send these children to school?
35178	The what?
35178	Then what are you whispering for?
35178	Then will you let Pip alone?
35178	There''s room enough for us both, is n''t there?
35178	There, who''s hurt now?
35178	True?
35178	WHERE''S PIP?
35178	Was n''t he kind, Candace?
35178	Well, Matthew''s our biggest boy, ai n''t he?
35178	Well, and do you want to take Alexia away? 35178 Well, and then, Polly, what next?"
35178	Well, do you children want it?
35178	Well, er-- on what do you recommend him?
35178	Well, go on, Polly, she took a great fancy to him-- and what then?
35178	Well, go on, Polly; and so Ben bought things?
35178	Well, he did n''t bite you,said Ben, with a laugh, and taking possession of the thin little fingers once more,"eh, Pip?"
35178	Well, let me see, where was I? 35178 Well, now, do n''t you suppose, seeing that you are here, that you can hold that other end for me?
35178	Well, sir, and now what shall we draw?
35178	Well, supposing this boy, this Pip, does come,said Madam Van Ruypen, much discomfited,"what of it?
35178	Well, then, how can you go on so?
35178	Well, what can be done about it?
35178	Well, what did they buy, Polly? 35178 Well, what do you want to do now?"
35178	Well, what do you want your young friend to have with us-- what kind of a position?
35178	Well, what do you want?
35178	Well, what does she want? 35178 Well, what has he been doing?"
35178	Well, what is it?
35178	Well, what shall we do?
35178	Well, what''s it all about, anyway?
35178	Well, when did it come, Polly?
35178	Well, where is a good place?
35178	Well, which do you choose?
35178	Well, who is he? 35178 Well,"said Polly, pushing back the little rings of brown hair from her forehead,"where shall I begin?
35178	Well?
35178	Were you picking out toys for the poor children when we saw you yesterday?
35178	Whar''s dat?
35178	What are you doing yourself,said Ben,"I sh''d like to know, Joel Pepper?"
35178	What are you two chaffing about?
35178	What boys, pray tell?
35178	What did I tell you?
35178	What did you go over to Madam Van Ruypen''s for? 35178 What do you choose?"
35178	What do you mean?
35178	What do you say, Candace?
35178	What do you think?
35178	What for? 35178 What for?"
35178	What harm will they do, Polly?
35178	What is it, Adoniram?
35178	What is it, Mamsie?
35178	What is it, Polly? 35178 What is it, Polly?"
35178	What is it, Polly?
35178	What is it, madam?
35178	What is it?
35178	What is it?
35178	What is it?
35178	What is it?
35178	What is it?
35178	What is it?
35178	What is it?
35178	What is the matter, Joe?
35178	What is the matter, my boy?
35178	What shall we do? 35178 What things?"
35178	What was it, Ben?
35178	What was it, Polly?
35178	What whole thing?
35178	What would it be like to go to Ben''s house and be with him all the time?
35178	What you got on?
35178	What you sittin''there for?
35178	What''s a journey?
35178	What''s an old pen, anyway? 35178 What''s been too much?"
35178	What''s she saying? 35178 What''s that funny noise?"
35178	What''s that you say, Candace?
35178	What''s that?
35178	What''s the last name?
35178	What''s the matter?
35178	What''s the matter?
35178	What''s the matter?
35178	What''s the poor chap done now?
35178	What''s the row, anyway?
35178	What''s upset you, Bony?
35178	What''s visiting?
35178	What, is Mrs. Van Ruypen sick?
35178	What,_ everything_?
35178	What? 35178 What?
35178	What? 35178 What?"
35178	What?
35178	What?
35178	What?
35178	What?
35178	What?
35178	What?
35178	What?
35178	What_ are_ you doing, Polly Pepper?
35178	What_ have_ you been about, Joe?
35178	What_ you_ got?
35178	Whatever in the world are you talking of?
35178	Whatever shall we do with Candace, and what_ will_ happen to Jocko? 35178 When did it come?
35178	When is he coming?
35178	Where ai n''t I goin'', Mammy?
35178	Where are they?
35178	Where are you going, Joe?
35178	Where are you going, sir?
35178	Where are you going?
35178	Where are you going?
35178	Where be you, Elviry?
35178	Where did he get the pins?
35178	Where is he? 35178 Where is he?"
35178	Where''d you get''em?
35178	Where''s Elviry?
35178	Where''s Pip? 35178 Where''s the big man?"
35178	Where''s the other boy?
35178	Where''ve you been, and what''ve you got?
35178	Where?
35178	Where?
35178	Where?
35178	Which one?
35178	Who is he?
35178	Who sent you here, anyway?
35178	Who''s Santa Claus?
35178	Who''s keeping us waiting now, I wonder?
35178	Who, Jane?
35178	Who, Polly?
35178	Who? 35178 Who?"
35178	Who?
35178	Who?
35178	Who?
35178	Who?
35178	Who?
35178	Whoever do you mean?
35178	Why did I? 35178 Why did you pull me back?"
35178	Why not?
35178	Why, what is it? 35178 Why, where is the whip?"
35178	Will she allow it? 35178 Will that suit your Majesty?"
35178	Will the mother allow it?
35178	Will you for shore, Mas''r Ben?
35178	Will you, Joel?
35178	Without Jasper?
35178	Would n''t he?
35178	Would n''t it be good fun to go up to the mountains, where those poor children came from, next summer?
35178	Would n''t the bureau handle be better?
35178	Would you rather tie?
35178	Yes, I know, that would have been dreadful, would n''t it, Candace?
35178	Yes, and likely enough you''ll forget all about it and stick your own hand in,said Ben,"then, says I, what''ll you do, Joel?"
35178	Yes, ca n''t we? 35178 Yes, to all of us; was n''t he dear?"
35178	You and I would have some sport, eh, Ben?
35178	You are, dear?
35178	You can have a nice time looking out of the window, eh, Pip?
35178	You did n''t say anything of the shopping plan, Ben?
35178	You knew Emily?
35178	You know I did n''t, Polly, do n''t you?
35178	You know Jocko--"Hey?
35178	You mean when you were coming home in the carriage?
35178	You must n''t and you ca n''t, because--"Because what?
35178	You see,she began--"Oh, would you please wait?"
35178	You''re Ben, are n''t you?
35178	You''re coming up?
35178	Your name, girl, and your brother?
35178	_ In the closet?_repeated Larry, his blue eyes opening their widest.
35178	_ My_ monkey?
35178	_ What?_roared the old gentleman, amazed beyond his control.
35178	_ You''ve got a box._"I?
35178	''Fraid- cat,"said Matilda, scornfully,"ca n''t you scrouge back?"
35178	--Joel plunged into him;"where''ve you been?"
35178	--he started and put out a strong hand to catch her as she swayed in her chair,--"what is it?
35178	Ain''dat fine, dough?"
35178	And now he shivered as her thin, high voice piped out,"Where''s that other boy?"
35178	And there''s a telegram come,--and, oh, Ben, can it be Jasper?"
35178	And what are you in such a hurry to get to Madam Van Ruypen''s for?
35178	Are n''t these just fine?"
35178	Are n''t you ashamed?"
35178	At last he broke out,"Oh, Grandpapa, may we all go?
35178	At this the young man deserted his figures, thrust his pencil in the thicket of tow hair, and said,"Hey, that you, McKenzie?"
35178	Ben Pepper, what_ are_ you saying?"
35178	Bramble?"
35178	Bramble?"
35178	But have you been all this time picking out a paltry one?"
35178	But he was last, and he looked back; then somebody sang out,''Where''s Pip?''"
35178	But is n''t it perfectly splendid that we can go alone, you and I, and, just think, Polly Pepper, can take the children?"
35178	But what I want to know from you, Joel, is, will you help me out with those boys?"
35178	But where should she fly?
35178	But why couldn''you take a white one, honey?
35178	Ca n''t I, Grandpapa?"
35178	Ca n''t you see for yourself, Ben?"
35178	Ca n''t you see you ought not to do it?"
35178	Cabot?"
35178	Can it be?
35178	Come, Polly, you''ll come, wo n''t you?"
35178	Cornelius Leffingwell was--""Cornelius?"
35178	Could n''t ye have done as I said?
35178	Could she be the same person as this woman, wiping her eyes, so touched by the little cheer he had given to her perplexity?
35178	Did Mr. Cabot really give it to you?"
35178	Did you think I meant to leave Polly out?"
35178	Do n''t you see you''re only making us feel worse?"
35178	Do you hear me?"
35178	Do you hear?"
35178	Do you understand, Joe?"
35178	Do you understand, Pip?"
35178	Do you want it?"
35178	Does any one know where he is?"
35178	Don''you''member how you brung it down here for Candace to match you some pink cord to go right round de aidge?"
35178	Get in, ca n''t ye?
35178	Has Madam Van Ruypen really sent for those poor children up in the mountains?"
35178	Have n''t you made a mistake and brought it too early, Hobson?
35178	He could n''t turn, for what might be back of him in the darkness?
35178	He read on-- whirled a page-- what was that, a sigh?
35178	Here, why do n''t you bunch for me?"
35178	How shall we begin, we''ve so very much to tell?
35178	I have accepted for the others; why not for you?"
35178	Is Polly going?"
35178	Is n''t it, Ben?"
35178	Is that his name?"
35178	Is that the idea?"
35178	Joel, racing along the hall at the sound of the arrival, panted,"What is it?
35178	Laws, you''d''a''thought it was jus''made for it, would n''t you now, Miss Polly?"
35178	Madam Van Ruypen?"
35178	May I?"
35178	Meantime Jasper was asking,"Well, Father, how are you going to get Jocko down to Candace''s?"
35178	Mr. King, who is that Pip you have with you?"
35178	Mr. St. John,"you understand, do n''t you, that Matthew and Mark are to go, and one of the girls, to visit Mrs. Van Ruypen?"
35178	Must we wait for this tiresome boy?"
35178	Not that boy who almost killed Jasper King?"
35178	Now how many want to put in their money to buy one big, nice present for Grandpapa instead of little bits of ones?
35178	Now may we go, Mamsie?"
35178	Now then, Joel, do you know what I wanted to see you for, and the errand that made me take all the trouble to call on you the other day?"
35178	Now will you do it, Joel?
35178	Now, how big is the boy you want it for?"
35178	Now, then, will you get up?"
35178	Now, what is it?"
35178	Oh, Hobson, who is it for?"
35178	Oh, Jasper, do n''t you suppose we can go?"
35178	Oh, Mamsie, what would a college education amount to for me?
35178	Oh, Polly, what for?"
35178	Oh, do you mean it?"
35178	Oh, goody,"and,"O dear, how can she?"
35178	Oh, is that you?"
35178	Oh, then, you do n''t like the plan, Joe?"
35178	Oh, what''s she saying?"
35178	Oh, why had she given way to her passion?
35178	Oh, you are almost through, are you?"
35178	Polly had n''t half finished,"Is Alexia Rhys here, and can I see her?"
35178	Presents?
35178	S''posin''she does?
35178	Seeing which Jasper spoke up:"Oh, it would be fine to have them go to school, would n''t it?"
35178	She did not add,"And how can I, without anything to wear?"
35178	Tell me, Polly, what is it?"
35178	That is, if Candace will allow it?"
35178	Thunder an''lightnin'', an''that was where ye were goin''?"
35178	VII"WHERE''S PIP?"
35178	WHO WILL HELP?
35178	Was Bob really to be pursued by the shark, or would the good sailor who had befriended him before, save him now?
35178	Well, Mrs. Hansell, what do you say?"
35178	Well, anyway,--Polly, where are you?"
35178	Well, do you want it?"
35178	Well, now, do you vote for it, Joe?"
35178	Well, somebody was fool enough to scream out,''Where''s Pip?''
35178	Well, what else?"
35178	Well, what shall we choose, Ben?"
35178	Well, where is the monkey now?"
35178	Well, who cares about your Pip?"
35178	What are you crying for?"
35178	What are you talking about?"
35178	What can be the matter?"
35178	What can it be, Joel?"
35178	What can it be?"
35178	What do you want to buy now?"
35178	What does she want you to do, Joe?"
35178	What is it, Jasper,--eh?"
35178	What is it?"
35178	What is it?"
35178	What is that you are saying?"
35178	What was it?"
35178	What would you send to poor children for their Christmas?"
35178	What''d you say?
35178	Whatever did you speak of that mountain camp for now, Jasper King?"
35178	Whatever makes you, Polly?"
35178	When they had turned into a convenient corner,"See here,"said the salesman, and his face paled,"you wo n''t tell on me, will you?"
35178	Where are all the others, Ben?"
35178	Where be ye goin''?"
35178	Where in the world were the two boys just come home from school?
35178	Where is it?"
35178	Where is she?"
35178	Where''s that other boy that was at supper last night?"
35178	Where''s your room?"
35178	Which shall it be?"
35178	Who brung him?"
35178	Why ca n''t you stay to tea with her?
35178	Why do n''t I ask you to come and help me tie laurel strips?"
35178	Why had she told Jasper about the monkey?
35178	Why, Ben Pepper, what are you thinking of?
35178	Why, you are all to stay; did n''t you hear Mamsie say so?"
35178	Will you tell Carson to bring them in?"
35178	Will you?"
35178	Would you please tell Alexia to hurry?"
35178	XVI WHO WILL HELP?
35178	XXVI"COULD YOU TAKE HIM, BEN?"
35178	XXVII"MR. KING, WHO IS THAT PIP YOU HAVE HERE?"
35178	Yer Gran''pa''s done gib me dat ar monkey, an''don''yo''suppose I''m goin''ter gib nuffin''?
35178	You ca n''t read it either,"said Mrs. Hansell at length, in the midst of Mark''s"What did I tell you, Mammy?
35178	You know my ole safe?"
35178	You showed them to Phronsie once for her dolls, do n''t you remember?"
35178	You''re not to do it if you do n''t wish to, of course, so what''s the use in feeling so?
35178	You''ve got a letter, Mammy, in the box, and may n''t I read it?"
35178	[ Illustration:"DID YOU EVER SEE SUCH SWEET LITTLE FINGERS?"
35178	and pointing off toward the back drawing- room,"Say, Hannah, has she?"
35178	asked David, who always followed Joel''s movements with attention;"what are you going to do with a pin, Joel?"
35178	ca n''t we?"
35178	cried Jasper,"ca n''t you find some candy?
35178	cried Phronsie, in great delight;"and was n''t he a nice Santa Claus?"
35178	cried Polly, in consternation, all the color gone out of her face;"what shall we do?"
35178	demanded Joel, who had caught the words, and whirling around suddenly;"sha n''t you tell her about any of the things?"
35178	exclaimed Grandpapa;"and of course David wants to go-- eh, Davie, my lad?"
35178	exclaimed Mr. Bramble, in a mighty shout that puffed out his red cheeks like small bellows,"''tain''t so bad as that, is it?
35178	gasped Alexia, wringing her long fingers together,"I did n''t mean-- oh, what have I done?"
35178	he asked in a dreadful whisper; and clutching the maid''s arm,"has she, Hannah?"
35178	he demanded, his black eyes flashing and his eyes working dreadfully;"say, tell me, has she?"
35178	how did that fellow dare to address me?"
35178	screamed Joel,"where''ve you been?"
35178	she cried to Phronsie, sitting there in a small heap and sobbing pitifully,"how''d she get hurt?"
35178	she exclaimed in alarm, and seizing the end of his blouse,"you wo n''t refuse to help me?
35178	she exclaimed, flying off from the sofa;"what is the matter with Ben?"
35178	she exclaimed,"what''s the matter?"
35178	the little man whirled around to stare at him,--"your brother then?"
35178	where_ is_ the other armhole?"
35178	who''s got those peanuts?"
35178	why, where,"--Ben was beaming at him now, as Pip lifted his face,--"how did you learn to draw like that?"
6418	A Cooking Club is to be formed''--didn''t you hear her?
6418	A beggaire, is it?
6418	A boy?
6418	A what?
6418	After your mother died, what place was there for her to go? 6418 And Larry''s''most killed, and----"Jasper interrupted him sharply,"What do you say, Frick?"
6418	And Mrs. Sterling wants them invited in here to wait?
6418	And Polly-- oh, goody!--now do n''t you see we wo n''t have to ask the boys to join this? 6418 And if God wants it to rain, why we must be glad, must n''t we, Grandpapa, if he really wants it?"
6418	And is that the way you respond to your invitations, my boy?
6418	And may she stay here for ever and ever,cried Phronsie,"and not go back to that un- nice old lady?
6418	And may we have your scissors, Mamsie?
6418	And may we have your scissors, Mamsie?
6418	And so you wanted Ben to help you with it, eh?
6418	And was she ever a little girl?
6418	And what are you two whispering about?
6418	And what''ll Mis''Cabot and Mis''Alstyne say?
6418	And what''s the other, this side?
6418	And where is Alexia?
6418	And you said no, eh, Joel?
6418	And you want me, eh?
6418	And, boys, you know Joel would have gone if he could, do n''t you?
6418	Any boys here yet?
6418	Any harm in that? 6418 Anything in our line to- day, sir?"
6418	Are they all gone, Mamsie?
6418	Are they so?
6418	Are you all deaf? 6418 Are you sick, Grandpapa?"
6418	Are you sure you can manage them?
6418	Are you, really?
6418	Aunt, where are you? 6418 Bless me; what have we here?"
6418	But it''s awfully pretty,said Peletiah;"it runs all down over the stones, and under the trees and----""Where is it?"
6418	But this would make a set, yours and mine,said Polly breathlessly, and coming up to shake the downcast shoulders,"do n''t you see?
6418	But what could have tired her so?
6418	But what was he doing out on the pond in such a storm?
6418	But where shall we look for him? 6418 But who is this little gal?"
6418	Butter- pat?
6418	Ca n''t I stand up, Grandpapa?
6418	Ca n''t Peletiah come?
6418	Ca n''t one of you girls play?
6418	Ca n''t we have some mucilage?
6418	Ca n''t we sit in the dining- room?
6418	Ca n''t you keep out from under the horses''heels, I''d like to know?
6418	Can I keep''em just forever? 6418 Can I really go, Polly?"
6418	Can you, dear?
6418	Chil-- dren--it was Polly''s voice--"oh, where are you?"
6418	Child, child,she said in reproach,"what_ is_ the matter?"
6418	Could n''t he be the one to give out some of the letters, and help Jasper?
6418	Could n''t he, Ben?
6418	Could n''t you come first?
6418	Dear me,exclaimed old Mr. King again,"when do you ever expect to sell all those, Jasper?"
6418	Did I hurt you, child?
6418	Did Joel say he wanted pep''mints?
6418	Did he, Pet?
6418	Did n''t I tell you to let me alone?
6418	Did she ever play?
6418	Did we not?
6418	Did you ever see anything so dreadful?
6418	Did you ever see such perfectly dreadful boys to kick up such a dust? 6418 Did you hurt you?
6418	Did you know Mrs. Chatterton had come back?
6418	Did you think I did n''t know what was proper?
6418	Did you want me, Jack?
6418	Did you?
6418	Do I slip one stitch and then knit two?
6418	Do n''t you believe she will, Polly?
6418	Do n''t you know it''s your place to serve me?
6418	Do n''t you like it, Pet?
6418	Do n''t you see?
6418	Do n''t you understand? 6418 Do n''t you?"
6418	Do n''t you?
6418	Do n''t_ you? 6418 Do you give up your puzzles in favor of our making Jack''s pictures?"
6418	Do you have to obey a servant?
6418	Do you like it?
6418	Do you mean me?
6418	Do you mean that, honest true, black and blue?
6418	Do you mean, learn to make things on the kitchen range?
6418	Do you?
6418	Does any other boy have something to propose?
6418	Does n''t God know we want to help the poor children?
6418	Does n''t she, girls?
6418	Does she, Pele-- Pele-- say, does she?
6418	Does she?
6418	Does your head ache? 6418 Eh, what?"
6418	Eh-- eh, sor? 6418 Eh?
6418	Eh?
6418	Eh?
6418	Eh?
6418	Eh?
6418	Eh?
6418	For ever and always?
6418	Going somewhere, maybe?
6418	Had the row?
6418	Has n''t it, Alexia?
6418	Has she gone-- that dreadful, bad, old woman?
6418	Have Mrs. Alstyne and Mrs. Cabot bought those dolls?
6418	Have n''t I, Jasper, written a letter for the post office? 6418 Have n''t we?"
6418	Have n''t you ever had a child?
6418	Have you, dear?
6418	Have you, though?
6418	He hain''t done nothin''wrong, Jack hain''t?
6418	Hey, what have we got here?
6418	Hey, who is it?
6418	Hey-- what?
6418	Hey? 6418 Hey?"
6418	Hey?
6418	Hey?
6418	Hey?
6418	Hey?
6418	How are the letters coming on, Jasper? 6418 How are you, snob?
6418	How can I tell her about that dreadful green floss and those patterns?
6418	How did you hurt your arm?
6418	How did you know I am very fond of white meat, Joel?
6418	How in the world are they to know?
6418	How in the world did that spool get in here?
6418	How in the world does Jane ever make a bed, I wonder?
6418	How is it, Frick?
6418	How is she going to hear with the door shut, pray tell?
6418	How many? 6418 How much?"
6418	I hain''t got to go, have I, Ma?
6418	I mean till I get through my five- o''clock tea,cried the girl;"ca n''t you understand?
6418	I should say it was,declared Jack, fingering it lovingly as Joel thrust it into his hand with a,"Do you play?"
6418	I suppose you did n''t want to go, eh, Joel?
6418	I want to know what else?
6418	I would--he lifted a red and ashamed face--"only my arm----""Is it hurt?"
6418	I? 6418 In a bird''s nest?
6418	In that case,observed old Mr. King most gallantly,"let me lead you down, and will you give me the honor?"
6418	Is Alexia there?
6418	Is it really?
6418	Is it?
6418	Is old Miss Bedlow dead, Ma?
6418	Is she? 6418 Is that Jack laughing?"
6418	Is that all? 6418 Is that all?"
6418	Is that right?
6418	Is that so, sor?
6418	Is that so, sor?
6418	Is that true?
6418	Is this your room?
6418	Is your aunt in the closet, did you say?
6418	Is, she, Mamsie?
6418	It is a pleasant place, is n''t it?
6418	It is n''t as she says, is it?
6418	It''s aft- noon? 6418 Jane?
6418	Joel, are n''t you coming with that letter bag?
6418	Joel, what did you say?
6418	Joel?
6418	Just look on the top of the bookcase, will you?
6418	Keep still, ca n''t you?
6418	Ma,he cried, putting his head into the room to which it opened,"do you know where Jack is?"
6418	Mamsie will fix up things, wo n''t she, Grandpapa?
6418	Me?
6418	Mrs. Fisher, do you think you could be troubled enough to get Dicky boy''s purse, too?
6418	My little girl may come, ca n''t she, Grandpapa?
6418	My scissors?
6418	Never tell?
6418	No use--began another man, but Hamilton Dyce cried,"Which one can run the fastest for Doctor Fisher?"
6418	No, dear-- not to- day, because it would n''t be right; the parson and his wife only loaned you to me for to- day, but----"What''s''loaned''?
6418	No, is it?
6418	No,gasped Phronsie,"but oh, Polly, will you sit down on the grass?"
6418	Not a bit of it,declared that lady,"but, oh, Polly, do you suppose any one saw me?"
6418	Now do n''t pay any attention to Pickering,said Alexia, turning a cold shoulder to the last- mentioned individual;"do tell us, Jasper, what is it?"
6418	Now may I dance?
6418	Now then, Nell, are you a sensible girl?
6418	Now what else?
6418	Now what next?
6418	Now where are those two, Polly and Jasper?
6418	Now why ca n''t you sit down here and amuse me?
6418	Now, child----"Oh, Grandpapa, may I have the milk?
6418	Now, what is it?
6418	Now, you boys,cried Gibson, hurrying in, her cap strings flying in her perturbation,"do n''t you know no better than to jump up like that?"
6418	Oh, Alexia, how could I?
6418	Oh, Aunt, what''s that tagging after you?
6418	Oh, Candace, are you sure?
6418	Oh, Father, ca n''t I? 6418 Oh, Joel, where_ are_ you?"
6418	Oh, Van, if he went with Papa Fisher, how could he? 6418 Oh, an''the Pepper children ai n''t hurt?"
6418	Oh, have you collected butterflies?
6418	Oh, have you, Joel? 6418 Oh, is n''t it too bad that we ca n''t any of us find that ten- dollar bill Joel lost at the garden party?"
6418	Oh, it''s a plan, is it?
6418	Oh, misery!--where?
6418	Oh, really?
6418	Oh, shut up that, kid, will you?
6418	Oh, that? 6418 Oh, that?"
6418	Oh, well, you ai n''t acted so badly after all; maybe the pretty little lady has come to see me, hey?
6418	Oh, what can I do to help?
6418	Oh, what will Jane say?
6418	Oh, you wo n''t tell anybody but me, will you?
6418	Oh, your work?--is that it, Joel?
6418	Peletiah, what does your father want, do you know?
6418	Polly, what is all this?
6418	Polly, will you come?
6418	Polly, you and Alexia keep on hunting, wo n''t you?
6418	Polly,said Phronsie, with a gentle little twitch on her arm,"can you find any pink ribbon?"
6418	Rag? 6418 Relations?"
6418	Right away now?
6418	Say, Phronsie, where were you all this morning?
6418	Say, Polly, what do you want me for?
6418	Say, ca n''t I? 6418 See here,"he said,"we ought not to go, do n''t you know?"
6418	Shall I call him in?
6418	Shall I give him a lick?
6418	Shall you?
6418	She beat you?
6418	Since the things are gone, what is the use of talking about the matter?
6418	So Frick and the boys wanted you, eh?
6418	So sorry? 6418 So you have come, Rachel?"
6418	So you kept on at the door, eh, Frick?
6418	So you thought you''d rather stay and finish your hour on it, eh, my boy?
6418	So you want me to tell you how to arrange them, eh?
6418	Study?
6418	Sure, honey?
6418	Take care, child; where are you going?
6418	Tell me, please, what things?
6418	That''s what?
6418	That?
6418	The squirrel gave you?
6418	The storm is almost over, to be sure--glancing out of the window--"but where can he be?"
6418	Then ca n''t I sit there now?
6418	Then has any one of you any puzzles?
6418	Then may I dance again?
6418	Then why did n''t you go?
6418	Then why does he let it rain?
6418	There, old fellow, what did I tell you?
6418	There, who''s going to get up in Ben''s room first?
6418	To give to me? 6418 To whom?"
6418	Up in the closet?
6418	W''y could n''t you''a''looked whar you''re goin'', Mas''r Joel?
6418	Was it Pennsey''s where she was going for the sugar, Miss Rhys?
6418	Was n''t it?
6418	We need n''t wait for that, need we, Mamsie?
6418	We?
6418	Well, I was ahead first,declared Percy,"was n''t I, Polly-- wasn''t I?"
6418	Well, Jasper, do you think that smilax ought to be trained up there?
6418	Well, Joanna is going, is n''t she, Mamsie?
6418	Well, and so Mrs. Sterling has invited your friend, Joel, to some festivity, I suppose, eh?
6418	Well, how shall we begin, Polly?
6418	Well, is she Gran?
6418	Well, is that any reason why you should act so and scare the mistress to death?
6418	Well, is the conference over?
6418	Well, that''s the same thing,said Rachel;"she''s your Gran, is n''t she?"
6418	Well, we ca n''t, so what''s the use of saying that?
6418	Well, what does she say?
6418	Well, what else?
6418	Well, what have we here?
6418	Well, what is it?
6418	Well, what makes you save these?
6418	Well, what shall I say, then?
6418	Well, what you goin''to do about it?
6418	Well, what''s the next thing?
6418	Well, what''s the use?
6418	Well-- oh,''Will you please come to the first meeting?''
6418	Were you beaten, you poor little thing?
6418	What are some of them?
6418	What are they, Jack? 6418 What are they?"
6418	What are they?
6418	What are you about there?
6418	What are you doing, Phronsie, sitting down in the middle of the stairs?
6418	What are you talking about, Joe?
6418	What are you whispering about?
6418	What big bill?
6418	What boys?
6418	What can we do for him?
6418	What did she do, child?
6418	What did yon say, Mr. Filbert? 6418 What did you say such dreadful things for, Alexia?"
6418	What did you say was the matter in the kitchen?
6418	What did you say? 6418 What did you say?"
6418	What do you know about these miserable Peppers that infest my cousin''s house, pray tell?
6418	What do you mean, Polly Pepper? 6418 What do you mean?"
6418	What do you suppose it is, Mamsie?
6418	What do you take me for?
6418	What do you want me for?
6418	What do you want me for?
6418	What do you want?
6418	What else?
6418	What else?
6418	What else?
6418	What have you boys been about?
6418	What have you to tell us?
6418	What in the world is the matter?
6418	What is all this bee for, and this fair? 6418 What is it you want, child?"
6418	What is it, Alexia?
6418	What is it, Joe?
6418	What is it, child?
6418	What is it, ma''am?
6418	What is it?

6418	What is the matter, Mamsie?
6418	What is the matter, Rachel?
6418	What is the matter?
6418	What is your plan?
6418	What note?
6418	What on earth are you talking about, Joe?
6418	What shall we do to show her we are glad she''s coming?
6418	What things?
6418	What was he doing?
6418	What was it, sor?
6418	What''ll I do next?
6418	What''ll I do? 6418 What''s a brook?"
6418	What''s a''freak''?
6418	What''s an''invite''?
6418	What''s philo-- that big word, Grandpapa?

6418	What?
6418	What?
6418	Whatever in all this world, Phronsie?
6418	Whatever shall[ we] do[ now]?
6418	When is the first meeting to be?
6418	Where did you used to sit when you was a little girl?
6418	Where have you been, Joe?
6418	Where have you put them?
6418	Where in the world are they?
6418	Where is it?
6418	Where is that Sarah? 6418 Where is your aunt?"
6418	Where is your friend, Joel?
6418	Where''d you say she fell?
6418	Where''s another towel?
6418	Where''s he going to do it?
6418	Where''s that?
6418	Where?
6418	Where?
6418	Which way did she go, Miss Rhys?
6418	Who cares for your old puzzles, Frick?
6418	Who is number two, Alexia?
6418	Who is this?
6418	Who told you to read it out, pray tell?
6418	Who writ that one?
6418	Who writ that?
6418	Who''s Gran?
6418	Who, child?
6418	Who, dear?
6418	Who?
6418	Who?
6418	Who?
6418	Who?
6418	Whose is it?
6418	Why ca n''t we have a cooking club?
6418	Why could n''t Joey be a letter carrier, to help give out the letters?
6418	Why did n''t you come when I bade you?
6418	Why did n''t you say so before? 6418 Why did n''t you tell me that before?"
6418	Why did n''t you tell us before?
6418	Why do n''t we just say,''A Cooking Club is to be formed''?
6418	Why do n''t you come on? 6418 Why do n''t you have''em put back in your doll, Phronsie?"
6418	Why do n''t you say something?
6418	Why not put it in the other corner?
6418	Why not?
6418	Why, Phronsie, child, what are you going to do with them?
6418	Why, are you here, Alexia?
6418	Why, ca n''t you see? 6418 Why, does n''t it rain on your side?"
6418	Why, is n''t that enough?
6418	Why, my dear, are you ill?
6418	Why, of course not; do n''t you see I''m here?
6418	Why, what is the matter, child?
6418	Why, where--?
6418	Why, you are going to a working bee just the same as the big girls, are n''t you?
6418	Why-- where?
6418	Why?
6418	Will she be made unhappy by Jerusha, you mean?
6418	Will you bring us a tray of some of the nice things you always can get up, Gibson?
6418	Will you come into his study, then?
6418	Will you-- will you?
6418	Would n''t come where?
6418	Would you mind, Miss Alexia, doing this up yourself?
6418	Yes, and now what is it?
6418	Yes, yes, how do you do? 6418 Yes,"said the boy, as if he were going to add,"Well, what are you going to do about it?"
6418	You ai n''t?
6418	You do?
6418	You do?
6418	You have n''t the least idea, Frick, where to look for him, eh?
6418	You mean you''d made the bargain to do this work and you could n''t back out?
6418	You tell, Polly,cried Alexia, and"Let Polly Pepper tell, ca n''t she, Miss Mary?"
6418	You''ve come to- day?
6418	Young ladies,said Gibson, coming out softly,"would n''t you wish to go down into the drawing- room?
6418	--to herself--"what shall I do?
6418	And by and by the doctor is going to let you go to see him, and----""What things?"
6418	And many asked,"Who is that child?"
6418	And nobody would have bought it when it was done, except my mother-- I''d made her-- so what''s the use of finishing it?
6418	And now,"she added brightly,"I want you to come into the drawing- room, and----""What''s''drawing- room''?"
6418	And she burst out:"Where did you lose it, you nin--?
6418	And, Alexia, how is your aunt?"
6418	Are n''t you one of the postmen?"
6418	Are you killed?"
6418	As if to make matters worse, a voice out in the hall was heard:"_ Alexia?_""Misery me!"
6418	But Grandma did n''t hear, so he picked up Polly''s letter, which was open, and began in a singsong tone:"''Dear Mrs. Henderson--''""Hey?"
6418	But Joel, not hearing her, and hating to be dictated to by Percy, cried out persistently:"Say, Phron, what were you doing all the morning?"
6418	But Van burst out:"And the flowers''ll all be gone, so what''s the use of trying to have it then?"
6418	But she''s_ your_ Gran, is n''t she?"
6418	Ca n''t I make him come in?"
6418	Ca n''t she, Polly?"
6418	Ca n''t some one get this poor child a bit to eat?"
6418	Cummings?"
6418	Did Mrs. Henderson tell you to give it to me?"
6418	Did you s''pose I''d tell him after that?"
6418	Do n''t you know where he is?
6418	Do n''t you remember, I hurried over to Grandma Bascom''s with the little Pepper letters, and you said you''d talk it over with me when I got home?
6418	Do n''t you think that is fine, to have something to think of beside dismal things, when you lie in bed?"
6418	Do n''t you want to come with me to the fire?"
6418	Do n''t you want your oar?"
6418	Do n''t you?"
6418	Do you carry about such a face as that for nothing?"
6418	Do you promise?"
6418	Do you remember that scene, Elinor, at Geneva?"
6418	Do you think we might take this child?"
6418	Do you want to go too?"
6418	Does n''t he, Pick?"
6418	Dyce?"
6418	Fraser?"
6418	Grandpapa, wo n''t you take him to Doctor Fisher''s office?
6418	Hain''t she hurted bad?"
6418	Have n''t you ever heard that?
6418	Hey, there?"
6418	How are you, Polly?
6418	How could I, Alexia?"
6418	How d''ye, Polly, and Alexia, and all the rest of you?"
6418	How much did you say it was, Miss Angell?"
6418	How much is it?"
6418	I mean-- oh, dear me!--where, I say?"
6418	Illustrated by Eugenie M. Wireman[ Illustration:"What are you doing, Phronsie, sitting down in the middle of the stairs?"
6418	Is n''t that so?"
6418	Is that all, Polly?"
6418	It seemed an eternity to Jasper, for Joel perhaps even now might be in peril, before the next question was answered,"What row?"
6418	May I do''em?"
6418	May I go down and tell him now?
6418	May I, Grandpapa?
6418	May I, Grandpapa?"
6418	May she?
6418	May we?"
6418	My Grandpapa----"He was drowned in a storm of yells:"Your granddaddy?
6418	Now what do you say, Almira, to her coming here to us?"
6418	Now what shall we do first?"
6418	Now what you goin''to do about it?"
6418	Now, will you have some choc''late?
6418	Oh, Alexia, are you coming to help?"
6418	Oh, Polly, do you suppose it''s lightening and thundering now?"
6418	Oh, may she?
6418	Oh, what is it?"
6418	Oh, why had n''t she tried to keep cheerful instead of giving way to the general gloom?
6418	Old Miss Parrott gasped:"Why, my dear Pastor, and Mrs. Henderson, can the child sing like that?"
6418	Old Mr. King was rapidly exclaiming:"No, no; bless you, did you think I''d come at you in such a way?
6418	Over by the table Jasper was saying to Polly:"Now what shall we do with this dreadfully long evening?
6418	Patterson?"
6418	Percy, is that you?"
6418	Phronsie popped her head up like a bird out of its nest, and piped out:"Oh, please, Mamsie, may she stay?"
6418	Please, may she?"
6418	Polly, my child"--he leaned over her--"can''t you think up something to get us out of it?"
6418	Say, can I?"
6418	Say, did n''t I tell you?"
6418	Say, have n''t I?"
6418	Say, is she?"
6418	So what is it, Alexia?"
6418	So you fell upon him because he asked you to go somewhere, eh?"
6418	Sterling?"

6418	That''s the bargain, Joe?"
6418	VII THE DISAPPOINTMENT"Will it stop, Grandpapa?"
6418	Was that really Curtis Park, whose rap on the door had announced him?
6418	We''re all waiting for you, do n''t you understand?"
6418	Well, he was a gre-- at big- bug, an''----""Who was?"
6418	Well, how do you do?"
6418	Well, now, I must n''t hinder you from your work"--old Mr. King turned briskly to his writing again--"or I shall be as bad as Frick-- eh, Joel?"
6418	What business is it of yours?"
6418	What can we do?"
6418	What could it possibly be that Clem was to make?
6418	What did make him come this afternoon?"
6418	What do you mean, and how could you see him?"
6418	What do you suppose she has been doing?"
6418	What note do you mean?"
6418	What should she do now to divert this little girl from her terror and distress?
6418	What''ll it be?"
6418	What''s ben a happenin''that Polly''s sorry?"
6418	What''s your name, little girl?"
6418	What?"
6418	What_ shall_ I do?"
6418	Whatever would she have to do with the Mistress''s beads?
6418	When she could speak she gasped,"What is it, Mary?"
6418	Where''s Peletiah?"
6418	Who''d ever b''lieve it?"
6418	Why, Pet, have I run too fast?"
6418	Why, you are not going out?"
6418	Will you have choc''late?--you must, Lady-- what''s your name, anyway?"
6418	Will you have some choc''late?"
6418	Wo n''t that do, ma''am?"
6418	Wo n''t you please make Joe hurry up and come?"
6418	XIV"CAN''T GO,"SAID JOEL"Joel-- where are you?"
6418	You ai n''t going to tell the old gentleman?"
6418	You did n''t notice that when you read the letter, did you, Almira?"
6418	You read the first part-- how they ran across the girl, and all that?"
6418	Your aunt was in the closet?"
6418	and how do you know?"
6418	and so they sent you for Joel?"
6418	asked Mrs. Sterling,"or conundrums?
6418	cried Alexia, throwing her arms around her,"you have n''t been struck, have you?
6418	cried Joel, on top of the messenger, and pommeling away briskly,"Say, did n''t I tell?
6418	cried Phronsie, as soon as she could get her breath,"when you all take your bags and work on things?"
6418	cried Phronsie, in a transport,"and can she have some of Polly''s clothes, Mamsie?"
6418	demanded Rachel impatiently--"anybody''s Gran-- just Gran?
6418	do I hurt?"
6418	exclaimed Miss Parrott, pulling her head out of the cupboard,"did you hurt yourself, child?"
6418	exclaimed Mr. King, leaning back in dismay,"whatever can you mean, my boy?"
6418	exclaimed old Mr. King, laying down his pen,"have you really got through, Joe?"
6418	he cried, in dismay, and his face grew terribly red,"did I upset that?"
6418	laughed Joel, snapping his fingers in derision,"you have n''t finished one yet, and beside, who can read your chicken tracks?"
6418	may I just have one good squint at that?"
6418	she said, running down from the stair- landing,"what are you doing?"
6418	what have I done?"
6418	what have we here?"
6418	what is it?"
6418	what''s this?"
6418	what_ are_ you doing?"
6418	when one is working over any thing it looks so different, does n''t it?"
6418	who is the first one to ask?"
6418	who''s the smart one now?
6418	why did you say such dreadful things?"
6418	why do n''t you throw it away?"
6418	you knew it?"
7498	A journey, Grandpapa?
7498	A surprise party? 7498 About Charlotte, you mean, Grandpapa?"
7498	Agreed?
7498	Ah-- King- Fisher, how is that? 7498 All?"
7498	Almshouse, I suppose, eh?
7498	Amy-- how can I tell it? 7498 And I suppose Christmas Day belongs to everybody, eh, Bayley?"
7498	And Polly strung all the pop- corn, and fixed the candle- ends somebody gave Mamsie, and--"Candle- ends?
7498	And did I have any?
7498	And did n''t Amy do nicely?
7498	And did we?
7498	And do n''t you remember it?
7498	And how can you question what your father does?
7498	And is he going to die?
7498	And left Mrs. Fargo without any little girl?
7498	And now you wo n''t make Polly see that Charlotte Chatterton ought not to be stuck into that Recital?
7498	And now, dear Papa Fisher, you''ll take it all back, wo n''t you?
7498	And so what is it that you want to tell me now? 7498 And so you really think you are getting on in your practice?"
7498	And the folks are coming home next week; that is, our folks-- good news-- eh, Charlotte?
7498	And then we''ll do something for you some time,declared Alexia,"all for yourself, wo n''t we, Clem-- something perfectly elegantly splendid?"
7498	And there is her Recital-- what will she do about that?
7498	And were n''t the gilt balls pretty?
7498	And what am I to do now, pray, to please you?
7498	And why should you stay at home?
7498	And will you never try me again-- and never give me music lessons?
7498	And will-- will you be disappointed in me?
7498	Any answer?
7498	Anything more to tell?
7498	Are Grandpapa and Jasper really coming?
7498	Are Joel and David Pepper soon to be in?
7498	Are n''t you glad?
7498	Are n''t you going to say anything?
7498	Are you afraid of me? 7498 Are you hurt anywhere?"
7498	Are you really and truly home, Polly?
7498	Are you sick, Polly?
7498	Are you strong enough?
7498	Are you sure of getting work when you reach Fall River?
7498	As if everybody did n''t know it?
7498	BUSINESS ALL RIGHT?]
7498	Bingley, could you manage to do this?
7498	Blame you? 7498 Bless me, what is Joel doing?"
7498	But if she should be worse?
7498	But now tell why Polly and Mr. King and all the family act so funnily?
7498	But what of that, child, pray? 7498 Ca n''t I, though?
7498	Ca n''t go to- night?
7498	Ca n''t tell me everything?
7498	Ca n''t we give it to another printer?
7498	Ca n''t you see for yourself?
7498	Can I leave him, Grandpapa?
7498	Can I leave the Ransom bills I was checking off? 7498 Can I see you a minute?"
7498	Can I?
7498	Can you suppose it?
7498	Can you take the night express?
7498	Charlotte poor?
7498	Charlotte, my girl, go and tell Polly to get in, will you?
7498	Charlotte, what are you talking about?
7498	Charlotte, why, what are you doing out here?
7498	Charlotte?
7498	Christmas Day? 7498 Could you go with me when I tell father?"
7498	Did I?
7498	Did Polly break her arm at-- at the first?
7498	Did Polly really say so?
7498	Did n''t we?
7498	Did she say she would-- did she-- did she?
7498	Did you suppose I thought he would?
7498	Die? 7498 Do I?"
7498	Do forgive me, but need I tell?
7498	Do n''t like it-- eh?
7498	Do n''t you say so, father?
7498	Do n''t you think you ought to hurry back to Brierly?
7498	Do n''t you want to write a note first?
7498	Do tell me what''s come over Polly, and why does Mr. King act so queerly?
7498	Do you all want to have it done to- night?
7498	Do you know that Grandpapa is going to take us all to- morrow to see Jasper? 7498 Do you mean I am not to go to Miss Carruth?"
7498	Do you mean it,Pickering put himself in front of Jasper''s advancing strides,"that you will not speak to Polly for me?"
7498	Do you remember how we used to run behind the wood- pile when we wanted to plan the Tree, Polly,asked Ben,"to get away from Joel and Dave?"
7498	Do you want some more?
7498	Dobbs has planned it to--"Dobbs?"
7498	Does Miss Pepper care for Pickering Dodge?
7498	Does it make you sorry, Grandpapa dear, to have me want Charlotte to have the money with me?
7498	Does n''t the fellow know better than to come when we are home for the Christmas holidays?
7498	Eh-- what?
7498	Eh?
7498	Eh?
7498	Eh?
7498	Father,said Jasper,"you are not going?"
7498	For me?
7498	Forgive you? 7498 Girls, come over this evening, wo n''t you?"
7498	Glad to see you-- sit down, wo n''t you?
7498	Go without''em?
7498	Gone-- and left me here like a dog?
7498	Gone?
7498	Good- night, Bingley; sure you do n''t want any help to your room?
7498	Goodness-- who''s fighting?
7498	Grandpapa,asked Phronsie suddenly,"how much money did Mrs. Chatterton say I was to have?"
7498	Grandpapa,asked Phronsie, looking intently at him,"is n''t Charlotte very, very poor?"
7498	Grandpapa,cried Polly in a tremor,"could you let me talk to you a little just now?
7498	Grandpapa,said Phronsie,"was n''t Mrs. Chatterton aunt to Charlotte?"
7498	Has Helen died?
7498	Has n''t any one seen him?
7498	Has no one seen him?
7498	Have n''t I?
7498	Have n''t you any more sense, Cathie Harrison, than to speak of it?
7498	He is awfully handsome, is n''t he?
7498	He''s as handsome as a picture, is n''t he?
7498	Here, will somebody take this child down where she belongs?
7498	Hey-- what''s that?
7498	Hey? 7498 Hey?
7498	Hold your tongue, will you?
7498	How are you, old fellow?
7498	How can I? 7498 How can you ask me, Uncle?"
7498	How could I see, pray tell? 7498 How could he, Grandpapa?
7498	How d''ye do?
7498	How d''ye, Johnson?
7498	How did he make the balls?
7498	How did you guess?
7498	How do I know-- how can I tell?
7498	How do I know? 7498 How do I know?
7498	How do you do, Pickering? 7498 How do you do?"
7498	How do you know that Grandpapa would like to have him along?
7498	How do you know that Loughead is coming back?
7498	How do you know?
7498	How do you know?
7498	How in all this world can I do anything in the matter?
7498	How long have I been here?
7498	How would you like to take a little journey, just you and I, to- morrow?
7498	How''s that?
7498	How, Polly?
7498	Hush-- oh, Van, how can you? 7498 I did n''t say they were engaged,"began Mr. Cabot frantically,"I-- I"--"Did n''t say that Polly and Pickering were engaged?"
7498	I help you?
7498	I know that, but what can I do? 7498 I lovely?
7498	I''ll do it gladly,said Jasper, quite shocked at Jack''s appearance;"anything more, Loughead?
7498	I''m afraid a cigar would n''t help me much,said Jasper, with a laugh;"but if you must have one, I can get it, eh?"
7498	I? 7498 If Mr. Whitney says you are not needed, is n''t that enough?
7498	Impossible? 7498 Indeed,?"
7498	Is Johnny your only little boy?
7498	Is Pickering Dodge with you?
7498	Is he very rich?
7498	Is it true?
7498	Is n''t Miss Pepper going to give a Recital pretty soon?
7498	Is n''t he?
7498	Is n''t it good that dear Aunty is so much better?
7498	Is n''t it?
7498	Is n''t it?
7498	Is n''t that beautiful?
7498	Is n''t the sleighing superb?
7498	Is n''t there anything I could do?
7498	Is n''t there really anything in here with you, Charlotte?
7498	Is that all?
7498	Is that so? 7498 Is that so?"
7498	Is that so?
7498	Is that so?
7498	Is that the way to show your acknowledgment, sir?
7498	Is that the way you order cigars?
7498	Is that true?
7498	Is this Mr. Jotham Higby''s house?
7498	Is this you, Miss Chatterton?
7498	It is n''t money I want, Mr. King,and she threw her head back proudly,"but oh, will you come and see father?"
7498	It is n''t possible, Polly,cried Mr. King, looking down at her,"that you like this fellow-- enough, I mean, to marry him?"
7498	It isn''t-- Marian?
7498	It''s dreadfully selfish in me to keep you,said Mrs. Whitney,"when you love your work so; and what will the music scholars do, Polly?"
7498	Jealous?
7498	Joel-- Joel, what is it?
7498	Just look at him now,said Alexia softly,"is n''t he sweet?
7498	Last night''s performance over Joel?
7498	Late? 7498 Leave him?
7498	Leave me alone, ca n''t you?
7498	Let you what?
7498	Looks as if he owned the whole town, eh?
7498	Loves his work? 7498 May I have some of it, if I am black?"
7498	May I lay them down by him?
7498	May I see you-- just now?
7498	May n''t she stay at home-- mayn''t she?
7498	Me?
7498	Morse Brothers?
7498	Mrs. Fisher-- may I speak?
7498	Must we have it Christmas Day?
7498	Nice?
7498	No inroad at all, at least a pleasant one,old Mr. Loughead kept saying, while Polly ran up to Jasper:"Did Pickering''s uncle come with Papa Fisher?"
7498	No one needs me there; Mrs. Cabot is a host in herself, and those boys may-- who knows? 7498 No one of your party was hurt, I believe?"
7498	Nor suppers, and a bit of card- playing, eh, Percy?
7498	Not Jasper?
7498	Now for breakfast,cried Jasper, his own toilet quickly made,"then I presume you want to see me in my business surroundings, father?"
7498	Now how do you know that Polly does n''t like my eyeglasses?
7498	Now then, what''s the matter, pray tell?
7498	Now what shall we do?
7498	Now will you go?
7498	Now you wo n''t feel lonely ever, will you?
7498	Now, Pet, so you are glad to get your old Grandpapa home, eh?
7498	O, Ben Pepper, what do you mean?
7498	O, Ben, ca n''t you go?
7498	O, Ben, is he sick?
7498	O, Mr. Cabot-- Mr. Cabot,cried his wife, flying after him,"you do n''t mean to say that Pickering and Polly are betrothed?
7498	O, dear me, where are you, Ben?
7498	Oh, Bensie, can you ever forget that?
7498	Oh, Grandpapa, is n''t your cap pretty?
7498	Oh, I shall fly crazy to hear them go on,cried Alexia to a little bunch of girls back of the crowd;"will nothing stop them?"
7498	Oh, Mamsie,cried Polly in dismay,"must Papa Fisher know?"
7498	Oh, Miss Pepper, what is it?
7498	Oh, Mr. King, may n''t Polly stay home? 7498 Oh, Mrs. Fisher, where?
7498	Oh, Percy, what do you mean?
7498	Oh, Phronsie Pepper, you ca n''t mean that?
7498	Oh, Phronsie, ca n''t you see-- I never thought of it till now-- but He has given you somebody else instead of Helen, to love and to do things for?
7498	Oh, Phronsie, what are you going to do?
7498	Oh, Polly, are you hurt?
7498	Oh, Polly, how? 7498 Oh, Polly,"when the kiss and two or three others had been dropped on the rosy cheek,"you are sure you can stay with me?"
7498	Oh, ca n''t you see how much nicer it is in God to make Mrs. Fargo happy for always with Helen, instead of just a little bit of a while down here?
7498	Oh, darling-- how can I tell you? 7498 Oh, dear me,"groaned Cathie Harrison,"is n''t it perfectly dreadful to have that dear sweet Mrs. Whitney hurt?"
7498	Oh, dear, why did you come in with such a noise, Joe Pepper?
7498	Oh, hang it, Uncle, why ca n''t you let me alone?
7498	Oh, here''s Clem,and, rushing out, Charlotte could hear a whispered consultation with,"Did you ever?"
7498	Oh, is Dr. Fisher here?
7498	Oh, is that you, Loughead?
7498	Oh, now what has he been doing?
7498	Oh, what can I say? 7498 Oh, what do you mean, Jasper?"
7498	Oh, what is it?
7498	Oh, yes-- well, it''s all going on well, the Recital, I mean, is n''t it?
7498	Oh, you are coming to, are you?
7498	One thing, King,said Jack gratefully,"will you have an eye to my uncle?
7498	Out on the road?
7498	Percy, ca n''t I do something for you? 7498 Percy, may I take those things out and fold them over again?"
7498	Phronsie is going to take that little rat into her home?
7498	Phronsie, wait; what is it, dear?
7498	Phronsie,said Polly, hearing her footsteps joining the others out in the hall,"will you go in and see how Charlotte is getting on with Johnny?
7498	Phronsie? 7498 Pickering, do you know?"
7498	Pickering,said Polly, with shining eyes,"who do you think you and Ben saved so bravely?
7498	Pickering-- where-- where--she could n''t ask"are Phronsie and Ben and Grandpapa?"
7498	Please ca n''t we have it now?
7498	Please may I wash my hands? 7498 Please, Grandpapa dear, may she have a little cricket up here?
7498	Polly, will you marry me? 7498 Polly, you wo n''t leave me, will you, till I get able to sit up?"
7498	Polly,it said, just as plainly as if Mrs. Fisher had spoken,"is this my girl?
7498	Polly,said a voice-- it was Jasper''s--"won''t you undo the door?
7498	Polly-- Polly, did you really like it all?
7498	Polly? 7498 Polly?
7498	Polly?
7498	Polly?
7498	Really ought?
7498	Really, Polly?
7498	Really?
7498	Right?
7498	See here,cried old Mr. Loughead suddenly, as Ben was rushing out,"ca n''t I see your sister?
7498	Sent? 7498 Shall we?"
7498	Since when?
7498	So soon, Grandpapa?
7498	So this really is you, Jack? 7498 So we would-- wouldn''t we, Birdie?"
7498	So what is it, Joe? 7498 So you are glad to get us home, eh?"
7498	So you really think my sister will amount to something, Miss Pepper?
7498	So you''ve heard about me?
7498	So you''ve looked him up, have you, Jasper?
7498	So, Dicky, my lad, you do n''t think I did just the right thing for Jasper-- eh?
7498	Something the matter with Pickering?
7498	Stop him? 7498 Strong enough?"
7498	Sure you do n''t want any help?
7498	Sure?
7498	Surprised?
7498	Thank you? 7498 That''s nothing,"she finished, meeting his look,"it''s all fixed as good as can be, and has nothing to do but get well-- has it, Ben?"
7498	The Sydney, Australia, house?
7498	Then I''ll do it; and perhaps God wants me to like Heaven better; does he, Polly, do you think?
7498	There is n''t anything the matter with Polly?
7498	There now, sir, do you know what a blessed old care you are?
7498	This evening, do you mean?
7498	To whom is that?
7498	To- night? 7498 Trouble?"
7498	Very glad that Polly has asked that Chatterton girl to sing?
7498	We pulled an old fellow out of the wreck, at least Ben did the most of it-- Polly wanted us to; and who do you suppose he is? 7498 Well said; that you, Jasper?
7498	Well, Amy child, how can I help you?
7498	Well, and so you want a Christmas Tree for him, Phronsie child?
7498	Well, and when that''s done, why, what can be said upon it, pray tell? 7498 Well, dear me, we are not working much,"cried Alexia, pulling off her gloves;"how many notes have you to write, Joe?"
7498	Well, do tell us, what did Miss Salisbury say?
7498	Well, how are you getting on? 7498 Well, how did you track me here, for goodness''sake?"
7498	Well, how''s Baby?
7498	Well, is that all?
7498	Well, my dear, what is it?
7498	Well, now are you sure I ca n''t do anything for you, Bingley?
7498	Well, then, will you promise to make Polly Pepper do what she ought to, Miss Salisbury?
7498	Well, what about Polly?
7498	Well, what brought you? 7498 Well, what did she say about making Polly listen to reason?"
7498	Well, what is it, Pet? 7498 Well, what is it, Uncle?
7498	Well, what is it?
7498	Well, where is he?
7498	Well, who does know anything about it, why Mr. Bayley has gone off suddenly?
7498	What are you going to do, Jack?
7498	What are you going to do?
7498	What are you prowling in there for?
7498	What can we do; is n''t there anything to do?
7498	What can you do here, pray tell, by staying? 7498 What danger?"
7498	What did Ben say?
7498	What did Mamsie say?
7498	What did she run off for?
7498	What do you mean, Charlotte?
7498	What do you mean?
7498	What do you say?
7498	What do you say?
7498	What do you take me for?
7498	What do you wish to say?
7498	What for, pray?
7498	What for?
7498	What is it about Polly?
7498	What is it, Dobbs?
7498	What is it, Joey?
7498	What is it, Polly?
7498	What is it, dear?
7498	What is it, dear?
7498	What is it, father?
7498	What is it, my boy?
7498	What is it,cried Jasper at last, coming close to him,"that has brought you?"
7498	What is it? 7498 What is it?
7498	What is it?
7498	What is it?
7498	What is the matter with Polly, Jasper? 7498 What is the matter, Jane?
7498	What is the matter?
7498	What is there to talk about, I''d like to know?
7498	What shall I do?
7498	What would Queen Bess do to you?
7498	What yarn are you spinning now, Percy?
7498	What''s come over you, any way? 7498 What''s the doctor wanted for?"
7498	What''s the matter, Phronsie?
7498	What''s the matter?
7498	What''s the matter?
7498	What''s the matter?
7498	What''s the matter?
7498	What''s the reason?
7498	What''s the riot?
7498	What, Polly?
7498	What-- that child?
7498	What? 7498 Whatever can have been said to you, Phronsie?"
7498	Whatever in the world is the matter?
7498	Where are the fellows?
7498	Where are you going, Polly?
7498	Where are you going?
7498	Where have they buried that woman?
7498	Where is he?
7498	Where shall we go to- day?
7498	Where''s Baby?
7498	Where''s Davina?
7498	Where''s Jasper?
7498	Where''s Polly?
7498	Where''s my girl?
7498	Which way?
7498	Who did he say?
7498	Who do you think is coming to- night?
7498	Who has been telling you things?
7498	Who is it, Phronsie? 7498 Who is it?"
7498	Who is this young Loughead?
7498	Who shall I tell him wants to see him?
7498	Who the Dickens is that cad?
7498	Who''s Tree?
7498	Who, Pickering?
7498	Who?
7498	Who?
7498	Whom are you talking of, Mason?
7498	Whom do you mean?
7498	Why I-- I-- of course you must know;''pon me word, you must, Miss Mary, for it began five years ago, before you went abroad, do n''t you know?
7498	Why could n''t Polly see you?
7498	Why did God take away Helen?
7498	Why did Jencks put you in here?
7498	Why did n''t Miss Pepper come this evening?
7498	Why not go to Madam Dyce''s and ask her to loan us some of her old brocades and bonnets?
7498	Why not, you ridiculous boy?
7498	Why was any person put in my room?
7498	Why, Alexia, where are your eyes?
7498	Why, Jack,cried Amy, no little offended,"what''s the matter?
7498	Why, Jasper?
7498	Why, Percy Whitney, why not, pray tell?
7498	Why, Polly Pepper, what do you mean?
7498	Why, Polly Pepper, what do you mean?
7498	Why, did you see him?
7498	Why, did you think we''d forget you, Phronsie?
7498	Why, do n''t you know? 7498 Why, does n''t Charlotte Chatterton sing well?"
7498	Why, he goes back to William the Conqueror, does n''t he? 7498 Why, how can I help you to tell me, child,"cried old Mr. King in astonishment,"when I do n''t know in the least what it is you want to say?"
7498	Why, is n''t the money my very own, Grandpapa?
7498	Why, of course I''ll go-- delighted to be of use-- who for?
7498	Why, was n''t he dead when we brought him out?
7498	Why, what makes you ask such a question? 7498 Why, where am I?"
7498	Why, where are you, Alexia?
7498	Why, where--"Oh, she''s gone home,"answered Alexia, stepping forward hastily--"Hasn''t she, girls?"
7498	Will I make Polly Pepper do as she ought to?
7498	Will I what?
7498	Will you, Phronsie?
7498	Will you, Polly?
7498	Will you?
7498	Wo n''t Jasper be surprised?
7498	Wo n''t Mr. Cabot let you go?
7498	Would it?
7498	Would n''t it make her very glad if I gave Charlotte some of the money?
7498	Yes, sir?
7498	Yes,said Mrs. Higby;"what do you want?
7498	Yes; well, you''re sure you''re all right except this?
7498	You are sure you wo n''t bother yourself too much with Charlotte?
7498	You are sure you wo n''t make your head ache thinking about it, Grandpapa?
7498	You do look so funny,burst out Alexia with a laugh;"does n''t he, girls?"
7498	You do n''t mean to say you think Polly would feel bound by what she said when we all thought he was dying?
7498	You have n''t had another fuss with Pickering? 7498 You here?"
7498	You mean, you are in love with Polly Pepper?
7498	You should think mischief enough had been done by Charlotte?
7498	You went to Joe Pepper''s room for the purpose of lamming him?
7498	You wo n''t?
7498	--"is the matter?"
7498	A rap at the door, and Jane put in her head, in response to Mrs. Fisher''s"What is it?"
7498	And as soon as Pickering Dodge is able to be moved home, why, the rest of us will finish our trip, and give you that surprise party-- eh, Jasper?"
7498	And is n''t it lovely that he is to have such a beautiful home?"
7498	And now what can Charlotte have heard to make her want to go home?"
7498	And then, most of the little knots heard the commotion, and came hurrying up with"What is it?"
7498	And this time she waited for Charlotte to speak, at last exclaiming,"Do n''t you see it must be so?"
7498	Anything more?"
7498	Are you sick?"
7498	As the last note died away,"Who is that girl?"
7498	At the sound of his voice, somebody called over the stairs,"O, Ben, are you home?
7498	Bayley?"
7498	But how was I to know of that beastly wreck?"
7498	But,"he broke off abruptly,"got a cigar, Jasper?"
7498	Ca n''t see me?
7498	Cabot?"
7498	Cabot?"
7498	Call Mrs. Higby, will you?
7498	Can I help in any way?"
7498	Can you tell me if I shall wrong Pickering Dodge if I speak to her?"
7498	Cathie Harrison, why do n''t you say something, instead of staring that wall out of countenance?"
7498	Charlotte is a big girl; how can I help her?"
7498	Could you?"
7498	Dave, ca n''t you keep him from that?"
7498	David flung wide the door,"where are you?"
7498	Dear, dear, am I never to be any good to Polly?"
7498	Did you not say that another attempt was to be made on my grandson?"
7498	Do n''t you see, Charlotte, that I ought not to promise?"
7498	Do n''t you see, child, that I really ought to be told?"
7498	Do n''t you suppose so, Grandpapa?"
7498	Do n''t you think it must, Miss Chatterton?"
7498	Do n''t you understand?"
7498	Do n''t, Polly, how can you?"
7498	Do tell us where Polly is?"
7498	Do you gamble?"
7498	Do you hear, young people,"raising his voice,"or does that little scamp of a baby take all your ears?"
7498	Do you want a Christmas Tree?"
7498	Fargo?"
7498	Fisher?"
7498	Fisher?"
7498	Girls,_ did_ you see Jack Loughead down at the door?"
7498	Grandpapa, it''s just"--"Well, what, my dear?"
7498	Has n''t she, girls?"
7498	Higby?"
7498	How can I think of anything when you are in trouble?"
7498	How could I speak so, and to you, who know so much more of duty than I ever could imagine?
7498	How could you help things when you were not here?
7498	How do you know she does n''t like them?"
7498	How in the world can I go at him?"
7498	How in the world could she know of Jasper''s affairs, pray tell?"
7498	How is the arm?"
7498	I believe you wish to go as soon as you can, do you not,"to Jasper,"that is, after you have given me the report of the business you did on the trip?"
7498	Illustration:"WELL, AMY, CHILD, HOW CAN I HELP YOU?"]
7498	Is n''t he nice?"
7498	Is n''t it sent here?"
7498	Is that all that detains you?"
7498	It takes you and me to get up celebrations, does n''t it?"
7498	It was Phronsie; and she cried in a grieved little voice,"Polly, are you here?
7498	It will kill his mother-- oh, how could he?"
7498	It would any girl; ca n''t you see it, Pick?"
7498	Jasper was saved from answering by old Mr. King coming in with a"Oh, how d''ye, Loughead?
7498	Jasper?"
7498	King?"
7498	LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS"Well, Amy child, how can I help you?"
7498	Loughead, that you?"
7498	Loughead?"
7498	Marlowe?"
7498	Marlowe?"
7498	May he, Mamsie?"
7498	Might n''t it be just as if he had n''t spoken, Mamsie?"
7498	Move on, will you?
7498	Mrs. Fisher, may I sit down by you here?"
7498	Must they die like animals in a trap?
7498	Need I?"
7498	Now for the first thing; what do you say we should do, Charlotte?"
7498	Now have any of you remarks to make?"
7498	Now may I see your arm?"
7498	Now then, what is it?"
7498	Now what shall we do in the way of a simple, appropriate fandango-- a perfect idyl of a thing, you know?"
7498	Now what''s the matter?"
7498	Now, oh, what can I do?"
7498	Now, then, Charlotte, how do you say begin?"
7498	Oh, dear me, what shall I say?"
7498	Oh, she left you everything she had, Phronsie; a couple of millions or so it is; why?"
7498	On the other side of it, looking at them, his hands out of his pockets, he stood, saying,"What do you want?"
7498	Polly kept saying to herself,"Oh, dear, dear, what could I have said to make him think I would go with him?"
7498	Polly, are you losing your senses?"
7498	Polly, child, what do you mean?"
7498	Right?
7498	Seeing that something was expected of him, Jasper made out to say,"You do?"
7498	So wo n''t you give him to me, dear?
7498	So you thought you''d come on and see for yourself, eh?"
7498	The loss must be charged back to Withers& Co.""Is that so?"
7498	There''s nothing wrong?"
7498	There, Papa Fisher, are they all gone?"
7498	There, Pet, now you are all right, are n''t you?"
7498	There, now, will you be still?"
7498	Well, David, my man, are you back so soon?"
7498	Well, Mr. Loughead, and what would you like to do for these poor children of Phronsie''s Christmas Day?
7498	Well, was ever anything so fine in all this world?"
7498	Well, were any of the others hurt?"
7498	Well, will you go?"
7498	What did you do next, Polly?"
7498	What do you suppose, Miss Salisbury, she''s gone and-- oh dear, I did n''t mean to-- but what do you suppose Polly has just done?"
7498	What have you been doing lately?
7498	What have you got into your head, Phronsie?"
7498	What is going to happen?"
7498	What is it?"
7498	What is there to prevent, pray tell?"
7498	What shall I do?"
7498	What was father thinking of?"
7498	What was it, Miss Polly?"
7498	What will you do?"
7498	What would Polly say to see you going for me like this, I''d like to know?"
7498	What would she say now?
7498	What''s the matter, Phronsie?"
7498	When did we ever get up a poor Tree, pray tell?"
7498	When it was over, and Polly sat quite still,"What are you going to do with that horrible boy?"
7498	Where did you pick him up?"
7498	Where in time is that thing?
7498	Where should I have been if Polly Pepper had n''t taken me up?"
7498	Who is the fellow, any way?"
7498	Who wants him?"
7498	Who''s talking of Phronsie?"
7498	Why are n''t you up at the house?"
7498	Why did n''t you go over more ground?"
7498	Why did n''t you have whole ones?"
7498	Why do n''t you have it out now?
7498	Why in the world do n''t you think how everybody is loving you and wanting to make you happy?"
7498	Why should n''t he, pray tell-- when we were all going home in a day or two?
7498	Why would the girls who now seemed to be so glad to have her in the center of all their plans, persist in calling her Miss Chatterton?
7498	Why, Charlotte, what has gotten into you?"
7498	Why, what would the Dunraven children do, Phronsie, if you took that day away from them?"
7498	Why, where is Phronsie?"
7498	Will you be so kind as to arrange it?"
7498	Will you go down the lane, Miss Pepper, while I can tell you?"
7498	Will you go?"
7498	Will you run to the doctor''s and fetch him?
7498	Will you, Miss Rhys?"
7498	Will you?"
7498	Would no one come to help them?
7498	Would they really all be together in a week?
7498	You are all right?"
7498	You are sure it wo n''t hurt you?"
7498	You have n''t come to tell of anything else bad, have you?"
7498	You must be Grandfather King?"
7498	[ Illustration:"ARE YOU SICK, POLLY?"
7498	[ Illustration:"And did we,"cried Phronsie"find it out, Polly, and spoil it all?"]
7498	[ Illustration:"OH, POLLY, ARE YOU HURT?"]
7498	[ Illustration:"OH, WHY DID I SPEAK?"
7498	[ Illustration:"WHAT DO YOU SAY?"
7498	[ Illustration:"WHY DO YOU PUT YOUR APRON UP THERE?"
7498	[ Illustration:"WHY, POLLY PEPPER, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"]
7498	[ Illustration:"Will you?"
7498	and"Oh dear, what''s the matter?"
7498	are you sure you are right?"
7498	asked Jasper, still marching up and down the floor;"was n''t she home?"
7498	asked Livingston Bayley, sauntering up, and whirling his walking- stick,"eh?"
7498	began Dick wrathfully"Oh, why did I speak?"
7498	begged Phronsie, all sorts of dreadful surmises seizing her,"do tell me, Polly, wo n''t you?"
7498	could n''t they go fishing any other day?"
7498	cried Alexia, thoroughly annoyed,"are n''t you ashamed of yourself?
7498	cried Mr. King, more and more horrified,"is this what you all come to college for?
7498	cried Percy,"what''s that?"
7498	cried Phronsie, in intense excitement, emerging from the depths of the Tree, the better to look at Polly,"did we, Polly, and spoil it all?"
7498	cried Polly over and over"Are you sick, Polly?"
7498	cried Polly under her breath, still kneeling on the floor,"oh, boys, can you?"
7498	cried Polly"Oh, Polly, are you hurt?"
7498	cried Polly, her brown eyes flashing,"that you are not to tell?
7498	exclaimed Jasper, unable longer to keep silent,"how could I take charge of any department, until I had learned it all myself?"
7498	exclaimed Mrs. Cabot in consternation,"what shall I do?
7498	exclaimed the young girl, with a pang at her heart,"has he left your business?"
7498	exploded Ben,"what do you mean, Phronsie?"
7498	have I had the doctor?"
7498	he cried, flirting his fists in the air,"or will you leave my room?"
7498	how can you say so?"
7498	how could I have said that-- how could I?
7498	how mean,"interrupted Polly at this point, with flashing brown eyes;"how could he?"
7498	how will you bear trouble when it comes, old chap?"
7498	interrupted the old gentleman sharply,"what family?
7498	is she?"
7498	is this the place?"
7498	oh, girls, did you hear?"
7498	oh, not Polly?"
7498	roared Joel, aghast at what he had done, yet swinging his arms with deadly intent on either side,"or, do you want some more?"
7498	said Pickering quite jauntily, and extending the tips of his fingers;"just got here, I take it, Loughead?"
7498	said his father,"well, what is he doing here this morning, pray tell?"
7498	screamed Phronsie, clapping grimy little hands and darting off,"have they come?"
7498	she cried,"do you think it can be right to take Jasper away from his work?"
7498	turning off to the little knots of his party scattered over the platform,"where are you all?"
7498	we would n''t ever think of not carrying a Christmas to Dunraven, would we, Pet?"
7498	what do you mean?"
7498	what do you suppose, Miss Salisbury, she has gone and done?"
7498	what have I said?
7498	what shall I do?
7498	what shall I do?"
7498	what shall we do, girls?"
7498	what will you do, Jasper?"
7498	what''s the matter with Miss Polly?"
7498	what''s the matter?"
7498	who has told you such nonsense?"
7498	why did I speak-- why did I?"
7498	why did I speak?"
7498	why do n''t some of you say something?"
7498	you here, Bingley?"
7498	you wo n''t keep him waiting to know that, will you?"
