23752I?
23752If that''s the only way?
23752In the meantime,he continued, as he inserted his hand in his waistcoat pocket,"what do you think of this?"

23752The thief?
23752Then,cried Dennis,"you mean that I must leave at once?"
23752Was n''t it?
23752Well,inquired Gratz, when the two were again alone,"what have you to say to me that you do not want Raikes to hear?"
23752Well,inquired this observing woman,"what is it?"
23752Well?
23752Well?
23752Were you ever,he asked, looking directly at Raikes,"in this apartment during the absence of its occupant?"
23752What did you think of the performance?
23752What do you gain by it?
23752What do you think of that?
23752What favor could he grant in proportion to the value of such means of overture? 23752 What is it?"

23752What is that?
23752What news?
23752What standpoint had I?
23752What th''div-- now, what do you think of that? 23752 Where were you?"
23752Where''s Robert?
23752Who are you? 23752 Why do you call him that?"
23752Why do you pause at such a point? 23752 Why else should I make the request?"
23752Why just this exchange of a handful? 23752 Why not?"
23752Why not?
23752Why not?
23752Why not?
23752Why?
23752Will twenty dollars a week and your board satisfy you for the present?
23752Would you mind?
23752Would you object to relating it to me?
23752You are curious, then, to hear the rest?
23752You have attended me, then? 23752 You have heard of Gratz?"
23752You have succeeded, then?
23752You mean he drinks?
23752You want to see me?
23752''Can this be true?''
23752''How far in advance of the detachment are you?''
23752''Well, how speeds thy traffic and thrive thy caravans?''
23752''What can be worse?''
23752''What does this mean?''
23752''What of it, O merchant?''
23752''Why speak of him now?
23752''You recall the stone of Sardis?''
23752*****"Is that all?"
237522?
23752Am I right?"
23752And with a scarcely perceptible tightening of her beautiful lips, she said:"''Dost remember thy promise to give me news of him to- day?''
23752As a measure in this assurance, would not the proprietor feel justified in calling upon the widow for indorsement of the statement of the young man?
23752As the Sepoy pocketed the gem he looked at Raikes with a glance at once searching and derisive as he asked:"Was I not right in calling it a marvel?"
23752But this one from which all specific gravity seemed to have departed-- what did it contain?
23752By what right do you detain me?"
23752Can you trace the blemish?"
23752Could he persuade that cynical- visaged individual to trust him until he received his first week''s pay?
23752Dennis flushed as he replied:"I''ll tell you by- and- by,"and added:"Will you do me a great favor?"
23752Did you ever hear such a tale as that?"
23752Do you know the guilty party?"
23752Do you see any evidences of determination in my face?"
23752Have you a stray glass?
23752His present employment brought him just ten dollars and the association of a barkeeper-- would it satisfy him?
23752His well- known apathy, his exasperating negation of demeanor, where were they now?
23752How could he so easily forget what he had said the day before?
23752However, there is one question more: Can you tell me how that substitution was made?"
23752However,"he added abruptly,"why did you end that extraordinary tale so inconclusively?
23752I hope this is not habitual?"
23752Is it not worthy of a Poe or a Maupassant?
23752Is not my word sufficient?''
23752Is not the present enough?''
23752Is the inner compartment closed?"
23752Is there more?''
23752Listen: Will you do me the favor of assuming that your comprehensive résumé of a few moments ago is all I care to hear on the subject?"
23752Married?
23752May I ask if you have business transactions with him?"
23752May I ask you to be seated?"
23752Muldoon?"
23752Nay, why not all, since it was possible to abstract a portion?
23752Reply, then, to this: Thy wife-- am I to be thy wedded wife?''
23752Suppose I say next Monday?"
23752Then with an unreflective inspiration:"Did you ever read about Launcelot and Guinevere?"
23752Then, after a moment''s reflection, he inquired:"Am I at liberty to nose around this room?"
23752Then, evidently impressed by something shadowed in the expression of his ill- omened Mercury, he exclaimed:''You have more to tell me?''
23752There is but one conclusion----""And that?"
23752To whom?''
23752Under the circumstances, what did a shirt more or less matter?
23752Was he not about to be admitted into paradise and receive twenty dollars per week besides?
23752What do you mean?''
23752What else?"
23752What is the conclusion?"
23752What is the joy of such a conquest?
23752What is your business?"
23752What was it caused those sharp suggestions in its accustomed rotundity-- those angular points?
23752What will she not attempt with that old driveller?''
23752When Robert had concluded his brief delineation, Raikes hastened to inquire:"Why do you ask about him so particularly?
23752Where the pleasure in an empty casket?''
23752Why do n''t ye presint that face at th''front?
23752Why not?
23752With characteristic concentration, therefore, Gratz began:"Do you suspect anybody in particular?"
23752Would he be credited if he related his prospects?
23752Would you like to come and help me here?"
23752Wurrk, is it?
23752You say your daughter greets you not?''
23752an''it''s there ye are?"
23752cried Dennis,"tell me, have I offended?
23752cried the unhappy girl,''what shall I do?
23752demanded Lal Lu, ignoring the question and the yearning intonation of his address, each word of which was like a caress;''my father, what of him?''
23752exclaimed Dennis as he went through an absurd pantomime of punching himself,"an''is it awake you are, Dennis Muldoon?"
23752exclaimed Dennis, a degree too cheerily, the foreman thought, in view of his delinquencies with the brush,"sure; but why do you ask?"
23752exclaimed Dennis, brightening,"when shall it be?"
23752exclaimed Raikes,"you will leave this stone with me?"
23752exclaimed his companion, with a rosy enjoyment of this unstudied situation and frank appreciation,"and what was the other?"
23752he cried,"what ails your face?"
23752he muttered,"why do you pause?
23752inquired the Sepoy as he met the inquiring glance of his furtive auditor,"what of the flaw in the sapphire?
23752inquired the widow;"and that splendid sapphire, that magnificent diamond to tempt the detective?"
23752interrupted the maiden;''what of my father, O prince?''
23752laughed the Sepoy,"is that your estimation of the sapphire?"
23752re- echoed Lal Lu with a questioning stress which the prince could not ignore--''everything?''
23752what are they to me?"
23752what of him?''
52617A woman, so farre stept into yeeres, as shee is, to give such an evill example to other younger women, is it not a sinne beyond all sufferance?
52617Afterward, he demanded of him, how much displeasing to God hee had beene in the sinne of Gluttony?
52617Alas deare Love( quoth_ Pedro_) with what reason can you wish my tarrying here?
52617Alas deare Love, what an answer is this?
52617Alas deere sonne, wast thou sicke for this?
52617Alas my loving friend, why shouldst thou undertake such a tedious travell, and so great a charge, as thy journey from hence to Rome will cost thee?
52617Am I dead?
52617Am I not as good a Gentlewoman borne, as shee is?
52617Am I so disfigured, that thou knowest me not?
52617And how can I get forth of this prison, except it be by death onely?
52617And if not I, what Lady elsee can sing, Of those delights, which kind contentment bring?
52617And thou( quoth the Maide) why doest thou not goe to attend on our Master, and tarry for his returning home?
52617And thou, upon the suggestion of this foule lie, what didst thou to thy Wife?
52617And what know I( Lady) whether among the choise of friends, it may fit your fancy to doe the like?
52617And what man is able to forbeare it, beholding the dayly actions of men to be so dishonest?
52617And what plenty of riches, were left without any true successours?
52617And whereon do we dreame?
52617And who I pray you( quoth she) did chastise you so severely?
52617And who can deny, but that it is much more convenient, to commisserate the distresse of Ladies and Gentlewomen, then the more able condition of men?
52617And who would not have done the like, hearing a man to speake in that manner, and being upon the very point of death?
52617And why art thou moved to such compassion of us?
52617And why should others swimme in joy, And no heart drowned in annoy, Like mine poore amorous Maide?
52617And yet Madame, shall I have none other answere from you, but your perpetuall silence?
52617Are the Spirits of Alchimy walking in the house, that we can not lye quietly in our beds?
52617As how?
52617At length Fryar_ Albert_ demanded of her, whether shee had any amorous friend or lover?
52617Bad man as thou art, how canst thou deny a manifest trueth?
52617Bad things Father?
52617Beeing let downe to the ground, the Judge still demaunded of him, whether the accusations against him were true, or no?
52617But faire sister, I desire to be resolved in one thing, to wit, by what meanes you had understanding of my being in this City?
52617But how farre, saide_ Ferando_, is Purgatory distant from our native Countries?
52617But how is it possible to be done?
52617But how?
52617But if I accomplish the cure, and set your Highnesse free from all further greevance, what recompence then shall remaine to me?
52617But mine Host( quoth_ Alessandro_) how can I passe thorow my Lords Chamber, which is so little, as it would not allowe Lodging for any of his Monkes?
52617But tell me now concerning Avarice, hast thou sinned therein?
52617But tell me wicked man, where wast thou this morning, before breake of the day?
52617But tell me, what was the occasion whereby you conceived such hatred against him?
52617But what meanes shal we make for men?
52617But what shall I say to them, who take so great compassion on my povertie, as they advise me to get something, whereon to make my living?
52617But why do I waste time in such extent of words?
52617But( quoth the Confessour) hast thou done nothing else on that day?
52617Can an inordinate appetite, cause thee to be carelesse of thine honour, and of him that loves thee as his owne life?
52617Can not our Daughter sleepe, except shee heare the Nightingale sing?
52617Can our weake and crazie bodies, feele the frolicke temper of hers?
52617Can the Gods be toucht with the apprehension of our fraile passions?
52617Can we devise no ease for this foule and noysome inconvenience?
52617Can you not distinguish between mine, and these other common beauties?
52617Can you then be so cruell, as to denie me so small a thing, without regarde of the maine debt, wherein you stand engaged to your_ Ocharus_?
52617Canst thou rather affect to abide here, for the pleasures of this man, and so sin capitally, then to live at_ Pisa_ in the state of my wife?
52617Canst thou then find in thine heart to let them die, whom thou rather oughtest to honour, and recompence with no meane rewards?
52617Canst thou( quoth the Monke) prayse and commend her now, using her so villainously in thy life time?
52617Certaine men of the City hearing these words, entred into further questioning with him, demanding, how he knew that the man had no such imperfection?
52617Concerning them that touch me with mine age; Do not they know, that although Leeks have white heads, yet the blades of them are alwaies greene?
52617Did I not tel you Father_ Albert_, that my beauty was celestiall?
52617Did he at any time offend you?
52617Divers times the President had taken notice thereof, and was so well pleased with the Lads behaviour, that he enquired, of whence he was?
52617Do I wake or sleepe?
52617Do you thinke he will eate you?
52617Doe dead men eate and drinke?
52617Doe not you know, that wee have promised our virginity to God?
52617Doe you know this Ring Madam?
52617Doest thou compare me with the wife of_ Herculano_, who is an olde, dissembling hypocrite?
52617Doest thou think then that shee hath any power to containe?
52617Doth it not appeare unto you Madam, that I have as yet done enough, whereby to be thought a worthy Husband, for the royall Daughter of_ Denmarke_?
52617Eares, how are you deprivde of sweete attention?
52617Eyes, can ye not refraine your hourely weeping?
52617Faire Virgin, if you cause me to breake my setled determination, and faile of curing mee, what can you expect to follow thereon?
52617Faire daughter( quoth he) whether wander you at such an unseasonable houre, and all alone in a place so desolate?
52617Faire_ Catharina_, I hope thou wilt not let me die for thy love?
52617Father, are these naughty things made of themselves?
52617Gentle Princesse; wherefore do you thus hide your selfe from mee?
52617Goe on boldly, replied_ Aldobrandino_, doest thou thinke that I regard any such praters?
52617Good man, thou seemest to me to be a Pilgrim stranger; what doest thou know, either concerning my peace, or mine affliction?
52617Hast thou heard any thing therein( quoth the Inquisitor) whereof thou art doubtfull, or desirest to be further informed?
52617Hast thou no regard of thine owne honour, thy Parents,& friends?
52617Have I not satisfied the Kings owne Ordinance, by delivering his Daughter, as already I have done?
52617How commeth it to passe, that this fellow should be so miraculously cured, that never truly was any way impotent?
52617How commeth this to passe?
52617How farre then voide of understanding shall I shew my selfe, to rob a Gentleman of his sole felicity, having no other joy or comfort left him?
52617How hapned that?
52617How is this?

52617How now quoth_ Ricciardo_?
52617How now( quoth_ Andrea_) doest thou not understand what I say?
52617How now, replied the Officer of the Guard?
52617How now_ Hermelina_?
52617How will you then maintaine, that I have throwne my liking on a man of base condition?
52617How?
52617I know that well Daughter, replyed the Mother; but is it in my power, to make the weather warme or coole, as thou perhaps wouldst have it?
52617I pray you Sir tell me, replyed_ Ferando_, after men are dead, and put into Purgatory, is there any hope of their ever visiting the World any more?
52617I pray you tell mee Sir, what meate was this which you have made me to eate?
52617If I had had the very least thought, to doe any such act as you speake, doe you thinke that God would have suffered me to live?
52617If he be a Woman hater, why did he make choyce of me to be his Wife?
52617If it be so, as manifestlie it maketh shew of it selfe; What do we here?
52617If then he continued so just and loyall to you, as( of mine owne knowledge) I am able to say he did; what should move you to repulse him so rudely?
52617In this high tide of sorrow and disaster, what shall we say of the gentle Lord_ Ocharus_?
52617Introth thou didst well_ Lurco_, to come away from so tedious a dwelling; had he not need to be more then a man that is to live with such women?
52617Is dignity preferred before wedlockes holy duty, and pleasures abroade, more then comforts at home?
52617Is her young bloud to be compared with ours?
52617Is it even so Wife?
52617Is it possible, saide the Mother, that our Daughter should catch a live Nightingale in the darke?
52617Is master Doctor returned home, or hath some other inconvenience hapned, whereby finding me asleepe, she was enforced to hide me thus?
52617Is there no more such water to be had in the world?
52617It fortuned, that the boy being now about eighteene yeeres olde, and his Father growne very aged; he demanded of him one day, whether hee went?
52617Knowest thou what and who they are, whom thou hast so dishonourably condemned to the fire?
52617Madam, are Hennes onely bred in this Countrey, and no Cockes?
52617May this be possible?
52617Moreover, what know I, if it be the will of Heaven to have it so?
52617Must your will and mine be governed by our Daughter?
52617No doubt then Sir( quoth the other) but you have saide that prayer this morning?
52617Now thou confessest thy Gelding to bee mine?
52617Now, albeit shee knew him well enough, yet she demanded of the good old Widdow, what Gentleman he was?
52617O Sonne( quoth the Frier) how happie and blessed of God art thou?
52617O good Sir, saide the man, doe you remember the words in the Gospell this morning?
52617Of him she demanded what Countrey- man he was?
52617Oh Father( answered Maister_ Chappelet_) you that seeme to be a man of God, how dare you use any such vile words?
52617Oh Sister( answered the other) how many things are promised to him every day, and not one of a thousand kept or performed?
52617Oh good Son, saide the Friar, doth that seeme so great a sinne to thee?
52617Or, if you had not the heart to speake it, how could you be so cruell against her, knowing your offence as great as hers?
52617Pedro_ hearing the voyce, presently listed up his head, and_ Phineo_ speaking_ Armenian_, saide: Of whence art thou, and what is thy Fathers name?
52617Poor Lady, how strangely was her soule afflicted, hearing these harsh and unpleasing speeches?
52617Presently the Inquisitor, most devoutly addicted to Saint_ John_ with the golden beard, saide; What?
52617Repute we our selves lesse precious then all the other?
52617Say you so Father?
52617See sir, these are none of your amorous tokens?
52617Shall I send, or goe my selfe in person, to request the Faulcon of him, it being the best that ever flew?
52617Shall I terme her a woman, or rather some savage monster in a womans shape?
52617Shall my destruction bee wrought by thy currish unkindnesse, and all my hoped joyes be defeated in a moment?
52617Sir( quoth she) what a coyle is heere about a paltry glasse of Water, which perhaps hath bene spilt, yet neyther of us faulty therein?
52617Sir, let it be no offence to you, that I desire to know, what prayer you most use when thus you travell on the way?
52617Sir, speake you to me?
52617Sir, wherein have those poore young couple offended you, that are so shamefully to be burnt at_ Palermo_?
52617Sorrowing exceedingly, and manifestly beholding his misfortune; Alas( quoth he) how soone have I lost a Sister, and five hundred Crownes besides?
52617Tell mee, treacherous man, am not I as faire, as the wife of_ Ricciardo_?
52617That is very true, replied the Inquisitor, but what moveth thee to urge those words?
52617The Abbesse verily credited his answer, demanding what he meant, in saying, that he did service to nine?
52617The Count returned his Highnesse most humble thankes, desiring to know of whence, and what shee was?
52617The Guard, pursuing on still his purpose, demanded of him, what, and who his Father was?
52617The Inquisitor presently demanded of him, whether he had heard Masse that morning, or no?
52617The King demanding how?
52617The man comming before him, he demanded, if the accusation intimated against him, was true or no?
52617Then I desired to know, why he was so rigorous to me in his correction?
52617Then shee desired to knowe, how farre off shee was from such houses, where she might have any reasonable lodging?
52617Then tell me Madam, doe you not know me?
52617Then turning to his wife, he saide; And you deare Love, if I shew you such a Sonne in Law, what will you thinke of it?
52617Those were no ill words, quoth the Friar; but I remember, you said that you were a Merchant: Did you ever deceive any, as some Merchants use to doe?
52617Thou art very melancholly, I pray thee tell us why?
52617Thoughts, have you lost your quiet silent sleeping?
52617Upon what occasion?
52617Villaine( quoth shee) shall the longing comforts of my life, be abridged by thy base and scornefull deniall?
52617Villaine, monster, why doest thou not answere mee?
52617Was he not a noble young Gentleman?
52617Was hee( among all those parts that most adorne a man, and appertaine to the very choycest respect) inferiour to any one of best merit in your Citie?
52617Well hast thou done therein good Sonne, said the Confessour: but how often times hast thou beene angry?
52617What affaires hast thou in_ Sicily_?
52617What answere canst thou make, devill, and no man?

52617When he perceyved that all was eaten, he said unto her: Tel me Madam, how you do like this delicate kinde of meat?
52617When the Women( being then awake) heard his trampling, as also his justling against the doores and Windowes; they demaunded, Who was there?
52617Where am I?
52617Wherefore is my youth?
52617Which the yong Damosell perceiving, and drawing him into her lappe, weeping saide: Alas sweete Friend, What paine dost thou feele?
52617Who shall tell any Tale heereafter, to carry any hope or expectation of liking, having heard the rare and wittie discourse of Madame_ Lauretta_?

52617Why then, replyed the woman, I must remaine in the state of a Widdow?
52617Why?
52617Why?
52617Wilt not thou goe into the Tombe?
52617Wilt thou turne Monster, and be a murtherer of her that never wronged thee, to please another man, and on a bare command?
52617Wit, who hath robde thee of thy rare invention?
52617With whom doest thou now imagine thy selfe to be?
52617Within a while after, he set both foode and wine before him, which when_ Ferando_ sawe, he saide; How is this?
52617Would your Highnesse give me a Quacksalver to my Wife, one that deales in drugges and Physicarie?
52617Yea but Sister, replied the second Nunne againe, there is another danger lying in our way: If wee prove to be with childe, how shall we doe then?
52617_ Alessandro_ riding along with them, courteously requested to know, what those Monks were that rode before, and such a traine attending on them?
52617_ Ave Maria_ Sister( said the other Nunne) what kinde of words are these you utter?
52617_ Bergamino_, how chearest thou?
52617_ Bernardino_, hearest thou what_ Jacomino_ hath related?
52617_ Ferando_ breathing foorth a vehement sigh, desired to know what he was, being thus appointed to punish him in Purgatory?
52617_ Ferando_ roaring and crying, could say nothing elsee, but, where am I?
52617_ Puccio_ mervailing at this answer, knowing she never gave him the like before; demanded againe, what she did?
52617and whether those children were his owne, or no?
52617answered shee: If thou be of_ Constantinople_, and art but now arrived here; doest thou know who we are, either I, or my Father?
52617answered the Friar, hath he not refrained from afflicting you so abusively?
52617answered the Lad: How do you call them?
52617art thou yet living?
52617by desiring more then was reasonable, or withholding from others, such things as thou oughtst not to detaine?
52617have I not kept my promise with thee?
52617have you no eyes in your head?
52617how mighty are the misfortunes of women, and how ill requited is the loyall love, of many wives to their husbands?
52617how was his good soule afflicted, that he had nothing wherewith to honour his Lady?
52617mine owne deare Mother?
52617saide_ Ferando_, are any other persons here, beside you and I?
52617saide_ Ferando_; what?
52617that bare me in her wombe nine moneths, day and night, and afterwards fed me with her breasts a thousand times, can I be pardoned for cursing her?
52617what a strange motion have you made to me?
52617what shall we doe?
52617what?
13102''Tis not for me to say,returned the priest;"say but what thou wouldst have: shall it be a pair of dainty shoes?
13102Alasreturned the lady,"then thou hast been in straits for money?
13102Alas, my Gianni, wottest thou not what that is? 13102 And how far off,"inquired the damsel,"are the nearest houses in which one might find lodging for the night?"
13102And how many miles is''t from here?
13102And what are its size and colour?
13102And what sins,quoth he,"hast thou committed, that wouldst be shriven?"
13102Are we to start so soon? 13102 Art thou minded to build thee a wall, that we see so many stones about?"
13102Aught?
13102Begone in God''s name: dost think to know more than I, thou that art but a sucking babe? 13102 Beyond a doubt, thou art right,"quoth Buffalmacco;"and thou Calandrino, what sayst thou?
13102Could we so?
13102Darest thou touch her, then, with a scroll that I shall give thee?
13102Daughter,said the lady,"what heat was there?
13102Dost not know him? 13102 Farther off, then, than the Abruzzi?"
13102Find a way?
13102Gumedra,quoth the Master;"what is she?
13102Hadst thou no pain in the night?
13102Have I aught else to say?
13102Hearest thou not,replied the husband,"what he says he has this very night done to Niccolosa?"
13102How can this be?
13102How may that be? 13102 How so?"
13102How so?
13102How so?
13102How, then,quoth the husband,"can the priest also lie with you?"
13102How?
13102How?
13102How?
13102How?
13102I can not say,replied Calandrino;"''twas but now that Nello told me that I looked quite changed: can it be that there is aught the matter with me?"
13102I doubt''tis even so,replied Calandrino,"for he called her and she joined him in the chamber; but what signifies it?
13102I wonder what it could be,returned Nicostratus;"is it perchance that I have a decayed tooth in my jaw?"
13102Indeed no,replied Biondello:"wherefore such a question?"
13102Indeed we do,quoth the priest,"and to better purpose than others: why not?
13102Is he mad?
13102Is it possible?
13102Know I not how to make men dance without the aid of either trumpet or cornemuse?
13102Nay, but,quoth Bruno,"how can it be?
13102Nought is lost but what is irrecoverable,replied Tingoccio:"how then should I be here, if I were lost?"
13102So,replied Dioneo,"''tis with you do first and say after?"
13102Sooth say you,returned the friar,"and does not your husband lie with you?"
13102Tapped at it?
13102Then,promptly continued the lady,"if he has ever had of me as much as sufficed for his solace, what was I or am I to do with the surplus?
13102These be virtues great indeed,quoth Calandrino;"but where is this second stone to be found?"
13102To whom then,said the servant,"does he send me?"
13102Wast thou then present thyself? 13102 Well, well,"said Bruno,"but what are the size and shape of the stone?"
13102What a question is this, wife?
13102What favour?
13102What is it, Madam,returned the good woman,"that you would have him do?"
13102What shall we do, then?
13102What tak''st thou to be the matter with me?
13102What the devil?
13102What then,said the lady,"wouldst thou have me do?"
13102Wherefore?
13102Why not in your own house?
13102''"( 1)"Now a plague upon thee,"said the queen, with a laugh;"give us a proper song, wilt thou?
13102( 13) But wherefore go I about to enumerate all the lands in which I pursued my quest?
13102After whom goes Messer Lambertuccio, so wrathful and menacing?"
13102Am I to cast it to the dogs?
13102And how could I be so unfeeling as to seek to deprive a gentleman of the one solace that is now left him?
13102And marking that Angiulieri was accoutred for the road:--"How is this, Angiulieri?"
13102And of whom will he have a care, whom will he succour, if not thee?
13102And that too when I am thereby to win her favour?
13102And the maid said to Crivello:--"Nay, but why goest thou not after thy master?
13102And then, as they received no answer, they continued:--"And how''s this?
13102And what the devil are we women fit for when we are old except to pore over the cinders on the hearth?
13102And whom have we to govern and succour us save men?
13102And you, Madam, have you no shame, that you suffer him to do so in my presence?
13102Are we to say that, because it burns houses and villages and cities, it is a bad thing?
13102Are we, for the mischief it does to the fever- stricken, to say that''tis a bad thing?
13102Arriguccio began:--"How sayst thou, lewd woman?
13102As Zeppa came upstairs:--"Wife,"quoth he,"is it breakfast time?"
13102As also that''tis of them that magnificence is most especially demanded?
13102At the word Pietro raised his head: whereupon Fineo, speaking in Armenian, asked him:--"Whence and whose son art thou?"
13102Belcolore, who was up in the loft, made answer:--"Welcome, Sir; but what dost thou, gadding about in the heat?"
13102Besides, who is there that knows not the quality of your honour?
13102But how shall we prevent Buffalmacco knowing it?
13102But no more of this: when and where may we come together?"
13102But tell me, so good luck befall thee, are none of these stones, that have these rare virtues, to be found in these regions?"
13102But thou, most fell of all wild beasts, how hast thou borne thus to torture me?
13102But what said I when thou toldst me that Buffalmacco delighted to converse with sages?
13102But wherefore put such a question?"
13102But why enlarge upon our Fra Rinaldo, of whom we speak?
13102But why seek to enumerate them all?
13102But, if you wish me so well, why do me not a service?
13102By and by the priest began:--"So, Belcolore, wilt thou keep me ever a dying thus?"
13102By what I see thou hast a mind to make this a holiday, that thou returnest tools in hand; if so, what are we to live on?
13102Calandrino, what means this?"
13102Confess now; have I not kept my word?"
13102Crivello said to the maid:--"How is it thou takest not thyself off to bed, but goest still hither and thither about the house?"
13102Currado then turned to Chichibio, saying:--"How now, rogue?
13102Did I not come back, after chasing thy lover?
13102Did I not give thee bruises not a few, and cut thy hair for thee?"
13102Did I not tell thee to say never a word, no matter what thou mightst see?
13102Did we not forewarn you?"
13102Did we not go to bed together?
13102Do I indeed hold thee in mine embrace?"
13102Dost not know thyself, knave?
13102Dost not know thyself, wretch?
13102Dost take me for a stripling, to be befooled by thee?"
13102Dost think to make me believe that it has taken to itself wings and flown away?"
13102Gossip Pietro, what hast thou done?
13102Hast thou not enough to do at home, that thou must needs go falling in love with strange women?
13102Have you so soon forgotten that''twas Manfred''s outrageous usage of his subjects that opened you the way into this realm?
13102Having paid the rogue, Ciacco rested not until he had found Biondello, to whom:--"Wast thou but now,"quoth he,"at the Loggia de''Cavicciuli?"
13102He knew me to be a woman: why then took he me to wife, if women were not to his mind?
13102He was one that Pietro had long been after for his foul purposes: so Pietro, recognizing him, asked him:--"What dost thou here?"
13102How comes Monna Tessa in this plight?
13102How dost thou feel?"
13102How many times ere now has father loved daughter, brother sister, step- mother step- son?
13102How sayst thou?"
13102How shall I be delivered of this child?
13102How shouldst thou want Federigo, who has not a thing in the world?"
13102However he kept his place, and:--"How?"
13102However, what should I say to her from thee, if by chance I should get speech of her?"
13102I tell you our grinding is far better; and wouldst thou know why?
13102I told thee that I loved a priest; and wast not thou, whom I love, though ill enough dost thou deserve it, turned priest?
13102I told thee that the priest lay nightly with me: and what night was there that thou didst not lie with me?
13102If thou hast a mind to sup, why take not thy supper?
13102Is it not much better to bestow it on a gentleman that loves me more dearly than himself, than to suffer it to come to nought or worse?"
13102Is it, then, such a mortification to thee to be conquered by me?"
13102Is this the love you bear Spinelloccio?
13102Is this your loyalty to him as your friend and comrade?"
13102Is''t for this you have brought me here?
13102Is''t good?"
13102Know we not, then, that Fortune varies according to circumstances her methods and her means of disposing events to their predetermined ends?
13102Knowest thou who they are whom thou wouldst have burned?"
13102Madam, who set you there?
13102Martuccio regarded her for a while in silent wonder; then, heaving a sigh, he said:--"Thou livest then, my Gostanza?
13102Master,"said Bruno,"what is this you ask of me?
13102Much as he loved her, Pietro answered:--"Nay but, my lady, wherefore wouldst thou have me tarry here?
13102Must breakfast wait thee until all other folk have had it?"
13102Nello then drew back a little, and looked him steadily in the face, until:--"What seest thou to stare at?"
13102Nicostratus,"quoth she,"how couldst thou have endured it so long?
13102Now tell me: whether is more truly father to your son, I that held him at the font, or your husband that begot him?"
13102Now what is thy punishment for that?"
13102Now what shall be our verdict in this case, lovesome ladies?
13102Now what shall be your verdict, gracious ladies?
13102Now why should not we save these three soldi?"
13102Now, have you heard how your worthy brother- in- law treats your sister?
13102Now, wherefore tarry longer?
13102Or how know I but that''tis some machination of one of my ill- wishers, whom perchance she loves, and is therefore minded to abet?
13102Or perchance a gay riband?
13102Or when didst thou beat me?
13102Or wouldst thou prefer a fillet?
13102Or, if thou wast not minded to accuse thyself, how hadst thou the effrontery to censure her, knowing that thou hadst done even as she?
13102Presently:--"Should we not steal this pig from him to- night?"
13102Quoth Calandrino:--"Think''st thou, comrade, think''st thou,''twere well I brought it?"
13102Quoth Giannello:--"And who art thou?
13102Quoth then Bruno to Buffalmacco:--"How shews it, now, man?
13102Seeing her ride up alone, they said:--"Daughter, wherefore ridest thou thus alone at this hour in these parts?"
13102Shall we do as Bruno says?"
13102She has tossed about all night long by reason of the heat; and besides, can you wonder that she, girl that she is, loves to hear the nightingale sing?
13102Sir,"quoth he,"what is this you do?
13102Six florins?"
13102So after surveying the room a while:--"What means this, Calandrino?"
13102So beauteous is this damsel that there is none but should love her; and if I love her, who am young, who can justly censure me?
13102So raising her head and glancing at the cloak:--"And what may the cloak be worth?"
13102So up I got, and would have asked him who he was, and how bested, when up came Messer Lambertuccio, exclaiming:--''Where art thou, traitor?''
13102So, then, Titus, what wilt thou do?
13102So:--"Where art thou?"
13102So:--"Who might avail to answer your words of wisdom?"
13102Stumbling into the bedroom, he cried out angrily:--"Where art thou, lewd woman?
13102Suppose they were to pluck out my eyes, or my teeth, or cut off my hands, or treat me to some other horse- play of the like sort, how then?
13102That thou mightst make a conquest of him?"
13102The lady, looking hard at him, said:--"What ails thee, Anichino?
13102The lady, who had heard the noise much better than he, feigned to wake up, and:--"How?
13102Then said Pyrrhus:--"Why make more words about the matter?
13102Then the lady:--"What can this mean?"
13102Then, Messer Gentile coming up:--"Sir,"quoth one of the guests,"this treasure of yours is goodly indeed; but she seems to be dumb: is she so?"
13102Then, feigning to be aroused by the shaking, Pinuccio uttered Adriano''s name, saying:--"Is''t already day, that thou callest me?"
13102Then, rising, she greeted them with:--"Welcome, my brothers but what seek ye abroad at this hour, all three of you?"
13102Then, she standing abashed and astonied, he turned to her, saying:--"Griselda, wilt thou have me for thy husband?"
13102Then:--"Wast thou ever there?"
13102Think you I see you not?"
13102Think you that I am blind?
13102Think you to serve me as you served Biliuzza, whom you left in the lurch at last?
13102Think''st thou I can be of no more use to thee?
13102Think''st thou that what thou hast done is a matter meet for jests?"
13102Thinkest thou I will let thee pawn my gown and other bits of clothes?
13102Thinkst thou that, if I had that regard for him, which thou fearest, I would suffer him to tarry below there to get frozen?"
13102Thou didst verily believe, then, that I was, that I am, minded thus to wrong my lord?
13102Thou hast supped; what awaitest thou here?"
13102To be thus accosted by all three left no doubt in Calandrino''s mind that he was ill, and so:--"What shall I do?"
13102To whom pertains it rather than to him?
13102To whom:--"What hast thou to do with Messer Lambertuccio?"
13102Wast thou ever to- night, I say not in my company, but so much as in the house until now?
13102Weeping, the damsel made answer that she had lost her companion in the forest, and asked how far might Anagni be from there?
13102What books, what words, what letters, are more sacred, more excellent, more venerable, than those of Holy Writ?
13102What but abandon this unseemly love, if thou wouldst do as it behoves thee?
13102What canst thou do?"
13102What does Pinuccio there?
13102What is this thou doest?
13102What means this force?"
13102What more had I to expect of thee or any other, had I done all thy kith and kin to death with direst torments?
13102What more is to be said of this hapless woman?
13102What more would you do, had he given her to a villein, to a caitiff, to a slave?
13102What passage can it find?
13102What shall I do?
13102What then, gracious ladies, are we to say of Cimon?
13102What unheard- of doings are these?"
13102What would be said of you if so you should do?
13102What would you say if I were, as he is, in the street, and he were in the house, as I am?
13102What''s thy will?"
13102When didst thou ever see mare without a tail?
13102When you began saying one to the other:--''Where is Calandrino?''
13102Where would you find fetters, dungeons, crosses adequate to your vengeance?
13102Whereat Belcolore tittered, and said:--"Why, what is''t I do to you?"
13102Wherefore art thou so distressed?
13102Wherefore her brothers and mother now turned to Arriguccio with:--"What means this, Arriguccio?
13102Wherefore in such a hurry?
13102Wherefore, then, wouldst thou do them to death, when thou shouldst rather do them all cheer, and honour them with lordly gifts?"
13102Wherefore, turning to a single companion that he had with him, he said:--"What thinkest thou of this base woman, in whom I had placed my hope?"
13102Wherefore, upon his return, quoth Bruno softly:--"Didst see her?"
13102Whereto Belcolore would fain have demurred; but Bentivegna gave her a threatening glance, saying:--"So, then, thou takest a pledge from Master Priest?
13102Whereto Tofano made answer:--"And what then canst thou do?"
13102Whereto the abbess, not understanding her, replied:--"What coif, lewd woman?
13102Whereto the husband, coming up, answered:--"Here am I: what wouldst thou of me?"
13102Whereto:--"Why, dost not see?"
13102Whereupon Licisca burst out laughing, and turning to Tindaro:--"Now did I not tell thee so?"
13102Whereupon her brothers derided her, saying:--"Foolish woman, what is''t thou sayst?
13102Whereupon she took occasion to say to Nicostratus:--"Hast thou marked what these lads do when they wait upon thee?"
13102Whereupon the lady turned to him with:--"Alas, my husband, what is this that I hear?
13102Whereupon the lady, turning to her husband:--"Now what can Pyrrhus mean?"
13102Whereupon the maid withdrew from the window, and went to bed; while the lady said to her lover:--"Now, what sayst thou?
13102Whereupon:--"Ciesca,"quoth he,"what means this, that, though''tis a feast- day, yet thou art come back so soon?"
13102Whereupon:--"Good- day, Madam,"quoth he:--"are the damsels yet come?"
13102Whereupon:--"How sayst thou, sweet my hope?"
13102Whereupon:--"Nay, but, comrade,"quoth Buffalmacco,"upon thy honour, what did it fetch?
13102Whereupon:--"Was I ever there, sayst thou?"
13102Whereupon:--"Who art thou?"
13102Which Giosefo marking:--"Wast thou not told,"quoth he angrily,"after what fashion thou wast to order the supper?"
13102Which Messer Geri having observed on two successive mornings, said on the third:--"What is''t, Cisti?
13102Which Nicostratus somewhat resenting:--"Now what cause hast thou,"quoth she,"to make such a wry face?
13102Which caused Melisso and Giosefo ofttimes to say to him:--"How now, caitiff?
13102Which of them wilt thou find so well furnished with arms and horses, clothes and money as thou shalt be, if thou but give my lady thy love?
13102Which said, she fell a weeping and repeating:--"Alas, alas, woe''s me, in what evil hour was I born?
13102Which the poor simpleton almost swooned to hear; and:--"How so?"
13102Which tidings the host being none too well pleased to learn, said first of all to himself:--What the Devil does this fellow here?
13102Whither art thou suffering beguiling love, delusive hope, to hurry thee?
13102Whither go I?
13102Who but I would have known how so soon to win the love of a lady like that?
13102Who but this worthy man would thus have read my mind through and through?
13102Who but thou, that hast suffered jealousy to blind thee, would have been so witless as not to read such a riddle?
13102Who is within?"
13102Who is''t that thus sneezes?''
13102Who knows not that fire is most serviceable, nay, necessary, to mortals?
13102Who, then, dismissing all bias from his mind, and judging with impartial reason, would deem your counsel more commendable than that of Gisippus?
13102Whom makest thou the mistress of thy soul, thy love, thy hope?
13102Why keeps he not in his own bed?"
13102Why must you needs mind you of God and the saints?
13102Why not try if thou canst not manage him kindly and gently?
13102Why saidst thou not to me:--''Make it thou''?
13102Why, then, call''st thou not him to come to thy succour?
13102Why, who could have thought that any but we would have been so foolish as to believe that a stone of such rare virtue was to be found in the Mugnone?"
13102Will the cold, that, of my ordaining, he now suffers, banish from thy breast the suspicion which my light words the other day implanted there?"
13102Wilt thou not be there?"
13102Wouldst kill the beast?
13102Your maid has been seeking you all day long: but who would ever have supposed that you were there?"
13102art satisfied that the bird has thighs and legs twain?"
13102blunderer that I am, what was I about?
13102but Fra Rinaldo, do friars then do this sort of thing?"
13102comrade,"quoth Calandrino,"so thou wouldst not believe me when I told thee to- day?
13102how could I keep quiet?
13102is''t thus he treats me?
13102lewd woman, what is this thou doest?
13102my lady, what hast thou done?"
13102my soul, what shall we do, now that day has come and surprised me here?"
13102quoth Buffalmacco to Bruno,"what are we about that we go not back too?"
13102quoth Buffalmacco,"you did not?
13102quoth Calandrino;"but tell me, what becomes of the capons that they boil?"
13102quoth Monna Sismonda,"what would he be at?"
13102quoth she:"can it be that it really seems to him to be as he says?
13102quoth the husband,"saidst thou not as much to the priest that confessed thee?"
13102quoth the lady,"what means this, Zeppa?
13102rejoined Currado in a rage:"so the crane has but one thigh and one leg?
13102replied Saladin,"then might you be pleased to direct us, as we are strangers, where we may best be lodged?"
13102replied the lady haughtily:"what means this?
13102returned Belcolore,"do priests do that sort of thing?"
13102returned the lady;"dost thou take me for a saint?
13102said Calandrino:"how can we compass that?"
13102said Gianni,"and how does one exorcise it?"
13102said he to the lady,"does not your husband lie with you?"
13102say you so?"
13102shall I ever thither fare again Whence I was parted to my grievous dole?
13102thinkst thou I never saw crane before this?"
13102vociferated Calandrino,"wilt thou drive me to despair and provoke me to blaspheme God and the saints and all the company of heaven?
13102what ails thee thus of a sudden?
13102what friars are there that do not the like?
13102what sayst thou?"
13102what will thy brothers, thy kinsmen, thy neighbours, nay, what will all Florence say of thee, when''tis known that thou hast been found here naked?
13102whence shall we get bread to eat?
13102where am I?"
13102whether is the greater his wit, or the love I bear him, thinkst thou?
13102why didst thou not apply to me?
13102you are my child''s godfather: how might it be?
52618( quoth she,) your Barber?
52618( quoth the Priest) What manner of demand do you make?
52618A place Madame?
52618Ah thou wicked woman, where art thou?
52618Alas Sir( quoth she) where have you been?
52618Alas Sir, said_ Blondello_, wherefore do you strike me?
52618Alas Sir, why should you slander your selfe?
52618Alas deare friend, what shall wee doe?
52618Alas deare heart( quoth she) would you be in such want of money, and hide it from her that loves you so loyally?
52618Alas deare_ Spinelloccio_( quoth she) what shall we do?
52618Alas my deare Love, what sodain accident hath befalne you, to urge this lamentable alteration?
52618Alas my good Lord, How could you abide this, and for so long a while?
52618Alas my sonnes, did I not tell you at home in our owne house, that his words were no way likely to prove true?
52618Alas, Where are you?
52618Am I to be directed by him or thee?
52618Am I to suffer this behaviour?
52618An olde knave with( almost) never a good tooth in thy head, and yet art thou neighing after young wenches?
52618And are not these the locks of haire, which I my selfe did cut from thy head?
52618And art not thou he whom I love, being a Fryar, and my ghostly Father, though( to thine owne shame) thou madst thy selfe so?
52618And could no worse garments serve your turne, but your Doctors gown of Scarlet?
52618And couldst thou steale home, never bidding us so much as farewell?
52618And enjoying it now, according to mine owne desire, dost thou stand like a Statue, or man_ alla morte_?
52618And how admirable thine attempts?
52618And if our affaires had such an equall course before, as otherwise they could not subsist; must they not now be kept in the same manner?
52618And therefore falling from their former kinde of discoursing: Tell mee Christian( quoth_ Saladine_) what Country- man art thou of the West?
52618And thou villain_ Pyrrhus_, Darst thou abuse thy Lord, who hath reposed so much trust in thee?
52618And whither am I going?
52618Are these the behaviours of a wise or honest man?
52618Are these the fruites of wandring abroad?
52618Are you angry for a few loose haires of your beard?
52618Are you becom** a night- walker after other Women?
52618Are you so fond as to thinke that I do not see your folly?
52618Are you so malapert, to bee chatting already?
52618Art thou the same man, or no?
52618Art thou wearie of thy life?
52618As how I pray thee?
52618As they were walking in the Garden,_ Thorello_ desired to understand, of whence, and what they were?
52618Beast as thou art( quoth she to her Husband) why hast thou overthrowne both thine own good Fortune and mine?
52618Being come up into his bed- chamber, Thus he began; Where is this lewde and wicked woman?
52618But alas wife, what is become of the poore affrighted Gentleman?
52618But can you( Sir) say any thing of her?
52618But having now wone a little leisure, to rest your selfe a while from such serious affaires; can you give way to the idle suggestions of Love?
52618But how shall wee doe, that_ Buffalmaco_ may not know heereof?
52618But she boldly scorning all delayes, or any further protraction of time; demanded again, what was her accusation?
52618But to what end is this motion of yours?
52618But what doe I care if it be so?
52618But what wouldst thou have me say to her on thy behalfe, if I compasse the meanes to speake with her?
52618But why do I breake my braine, in numbering up so many to you?
52618But why do I trouble you with the repetition of so many countries?
52618But, perceiving that it was his wisest course, he questioned further with his wife, saying: Why good Woman, doth not your husband lodge with you?
52618Came I not backe againe, and beate thee as a Strumpet should be?
52618Can any thing more perticularly appertaine to me, but thy right therein is as absolute as mine?
52618Can it be possible( quoth_ Helena_) that you should be so benummed with colde?
52618Can you imagine this to be justice in a King, that such as get into their possession in this manner( whatsoever it be) ought to use it in this sort?
52618Canst thou makes vaunt of such a mounstrous villany?
52618Canst thou not yet learne to leave thy mocking and scorning?
52618Come?
52618Conjure him Wife?
52618Couldst thou imagine mee, to be such a trewant in losse of my time, that I came hither as an ignorant creature?
52618Dare you adventure another wager with him?
52618Darest thou abuse thine honest wife so basely?
52618Darest thou presume to fancie her?
52618Did I never see a Crane before this?
52618Did I not tell thee, that I loved a Fryar?
52618Did not I cut this thred from thy great toe, tyed it to mine, and found the craftie compact betweene thee and thy Minnion?
52618Did not I follow and fight with him in the streets?
52618Did not I see it in thy house yesternight?
52618Did not I tell thee this before?
52618Diddest thou ever see a Mule without a taile?
52618Didst thou not heare him wife, brag& boast, how he hath lyen this night with our daughter_ Nicholetta_?
52618Divell, and no woman, did wee not this night goe both together to bed?
52618Do you not see Husband?
52618Doe I foster such a Snake in mine owne bosome?
52618Doe you thinke to use me, as poore_ Billezza_ was, who trusted to as faire words, and found her selfe deceived?
52618Doest not thou serve a worthy Lord?
52618Doest thou thinke that I loved him, as thou wast afraid of?
52618Dooest thou thinke, that I will suffer thee to pawne my gowne, and other poore garments, as heeretofore thou hast done?
52618Dooest thou understand me what I say?
52618Dost thou see any alteration in my face, whereby to imagine, I should feele some paine?
52618Faire_ Grizelda_, if I make you my wife, will you doe your best endeavour to please me, in all things which I shall doe or say?
52618Faire_ Lisana_, how commeth this to passe?
52618Foolish fellow, what doest thou?
52618For that Sir( quoth_ Peronella_) take you no care, although no match at all had beene made, what serves my Husband for, but to make it cleane?
52618For thou art his, and he thine, why then shold any other but he help thee in this distresse?
52618For truth lives not in men: Poore soule, why live I then?
52618For truth lives not in men: Poore soule, why live I then?
52618Forbeare my Lord, Do you not see, in how weake and feeble condition my Ladie is, being shaken with so violent a sicknesse?
52618Fowle loathsome dog( quoth she) must you be at your minions, and leave mee hunger- starved at home?
52618Good morrow Madame_ Helena_, What?
52618Gossip methought I heard your Husbands voice, is hee at your Chamber doore?
52618Hast thou once more seene her?
52618Hast thou so much corage_ Calandrino_, as but to handle a peece of written parchment, which I will give thee?
52618Have not I tolde thee an hundred times, that thou art not fit to lye any where; out of thine owne lodging?
52618Have not the Gods themselves bene beguiled of their Wenches, who were better men then ever_ Phillippo_ can be, and shall I stand in feare of him?
52618Have not your eyes observed his unmannerly behaviour to your Sister?
52618Have you Sir, said_ Calandrino_, at any time beene in that Countrey?
52618Have you caused me to come hither to this intent?
52618How Husband?
52618How Husband?
52618How Sir?
52618How becamest thou so madly incensed, as( without any torment inflicted on thee) to confesse an offence by thee never committed?
52618How can it possible be, replyed_ Bruno_?
52618How can we but take it in very evill part, that thou shouldest so abuse two honest neighbours?
52618How didst thou like the fat Lampreyes and Sturgeon, which thou fedst on at the house of_ Messer Corso Donati_?
52618How farre Sir, I pray you( quoth_ Calandrino_) is that worthy Countrey, from this our City?
52618How hast thou misused her?
52618How honourable and wonderfull is that?
52618How is it possible then( replyed the Husband) that the Friar can lodge there with you too?
52618How is this Husband?
52618How justly art thou worthy of praise in the like occasions?
52618How much may this Cloake bee worth?
52618How much?
52618How now Gossip_ Pietro_?
52618How now Madame?
52618How now Master Doctor?
52618How now Sir_ Simon_?
52618How now my Lord?
52618How now?
52618How now?
52618How now?
52618How now_ Ancilla_?
52618How now_ Aniolliero_?
52618How now_ Bruno_?
52618How now_ Buffalmaco_( quoth_ Bruno_) what is thine opinion now?
52618How now_ Pyrrhus_?
52618How now_ Rinuccio_?
52618How shall I be delivered of this child?
52618How sitteth thy poore wife?
52618How straunge are thy foresights?
52618How thinkest thou now sweet heart( saide shee) can not I make a man daunce without the sound of a Taber, or of a Bagpipe?
52618How thinkest thou_ Bruno_?
52618How wonderfully art thou changed since last I saw thee, which is no longer then yester day?
52618How?
52618How?
52618How?
52618How?
52618How?
52618How?
52618How?
52618I am undone through perjury, Although I loved constantly: But truth lives not in men, Poore soule, why live I then?
52618I like thy counsell well_ Bruno_, answered_ Calandrino_; but shall I bring my Gitterne thither indeed?
52618I pray thee tell mee, How dooest thou feele thy health?
52618If it be so?
52618If such be thine intent, how shall we live?
52618In the Spring season,& c.__ Oh, How can mighty Love permit, Such a faithlesse deed, And not in justice punish it As treasons meed?
52618Indeede you say true( replyed_ Buffalmaco_) but what is the opinion of_ Calandrino_?
52618Intendest thou to kill the Mule?
52618Is he well in his wittes?
52618Is he willing to have this tryall made, or no?
52618Is it possible, said shee, that it should cost so much?
52618Is it so?
52618Is not Sir_ Simon_ our especiall friend, and can not be be pleasured without a pawne?
52618Is not this cold sufferance of this, able to quench the violent heate of his loves extremitie, and having so much snow broth to helpe it?
52618Is not this good Goblins fare?
52618Is the deed you have done, to be answered in such immodest manner?
52618Is there no comfort in this wretchednesse?
52618Is this the love you beare to_ Spinelloccio_, and your professed loyalty in friendshippe?
52618Let us doe it then( answered_ Buffalmaco_) why should we not do it?
52618Madam_ Nonna_, What thinke you of this Gallant?
52618Many times, sitting and sighing to my selfe: Lord, thinke I, of what mettall am I made?
52618May not I conjecture, that my close murthering is purposed, and this way acted, as on him that( in his life time) had offended them?
52618Meanes enow to get it againe?
52618Most unhappie_ Titus_ as thou art, whether doost thou transport thine understanding, love, and hope?
52618My Lord( quoth_ Maso_) you may bee ashamed that you doe me not Justice, why will you not heare mee, but wholly lend your eare to mine Adversary?
52618My friend, what hast thou done more, then any of us here condemned with thee, that thou tremblest and quakest, being in so hot a fire?
52618My loving Uncle, and religious holy Father, whereof are you afraid?
52618My_ Belcolore_, how long shall I pine and languish for thy love?
52618Not a long while, answerd_ Blondello_, but why dost thou demand such a question?
52618Now for my part, the most of my goods here I will pawne for thee: but what pledge can you deliver in to make up the rest?
52618Now tell me Husband, What doore in our house hath( at any time) bin shut against thee, but they are freely thine owne,& grant thee entrance?
52618O Lord Sir( quoth_ Calandrino_) these stones are of rare vertue indeede: but where else may a man finde that_ Helitropium_?
52618O Love: What, and how many are thy prevailing forces?
52618Of what bignesse Sir( quoth_ Calandrino_) is the Stone, and what coulour?
52618Or am not I sufficient to content you, but you must be longing after change?
52618Or is he franticke?
52618Or thinkest thou, that heaven hath not due vengeance in store, to requite all wicked deeds of darkenesse?
52618Or what torments are sufficient for this fact?
52618Passion of me, who then shall carrie my Corne to the Mill?
52618Quoth_ John_, By what meanes?
52618Santa Maria, answered_ Belcolore_, Dare Priests doe such things as you talke of?
52618Say thou divellish creature, do I not tell thee true?
52618See Sir( quoth she) was this Tooth to be suffered in your head, and to yeeld so foule a smell as it did?
52618See neighbour, is not this your dearest Jewell?
52618Seest thou this Flint?
52618Shall all these extremities barre me of speaking?
52618Shall we three( this night) rob him of his Brawne?
52618She hearing his voice: Alas Gossip( quoth she) what shall I do?
52618Shold not I love her, because she is affianced to_ Gisippus_?
52618Sigh, puff, and blow man?
52618Sir, you observe not the behaviour of your two pages, when they wait on you at the Table?
52618So going unto_ Chichibio_, he said: How now you lying Knave, hath a Crane two legs, or no?
52618So, descending in haste downe againe, yet crying so to them still:_ Lydia_ replyed, Alas my Lord, Why do you raile and rave in such sort?
52618Starting up and meeting them on the staire head: Kinde brethren,( said she) is it you?
52618Surely Sir, said_ Calandrino_, it is further hence, then to_ Abruzzi_?
52618Tell me_ Anichino_, art not thou angrie, to see me win?
52618Tell me_ Blondello_, how doost thou like the enrubinating Clarret of Signior_ Phillippo_?
52618The Doctor demanded, what Countesse that was?
52618The Hoste hearing these newes, which seemed very unwelcome to him, said first to himself: What make such a devill heere in my Bedde?
52618The beauty of_ Sophronia_ is worthy of generall love, and if I that am a yongman do love her, what man living can justly reprove me for it?
52618The genitories of mine Asse, answered the Priest?
52618Then the King asked, whom it concerned?
52618Then turning to the Countrey Boores: How much deare friends( quoth he) am I beholding to you for this unexpected kindnesse?
52618Thinkest thou, that I am not able to doe as much for thee?
52618This being a solemne festivall day, what is the reason of your so soone returning home?
52618Those things( quoth_ Tingoccio_) are lost, which can not be recovered againe, and if I were lost, how could I then be heere with thee?
52618Thou that( as yet) hath scarsely learned to sucke, wouldest thou presume to know so much as I doe?
52618Thou?
52618To have the smallest grace: Or but to know, that this proceeds from love, Why should I live despisde in every place?
52618To whom doeth it more belong, then to him?
52618Walking into the garden, he began to question with_ Bernardo_, demaunding him for his Daughter, and whether he had( as yet) marryed her, or no?
52618Was it not tolde you by my friend, in what manner he would have our Supper drest?
52618Well Sir replied the Porter, shall I say any thing else unto him?
52618Well do I remember thy words, that_ Buffalmaco_ delighted to be among men of Wisedome: and have I not now fitted him unto his owne desire?
52618Well done_ Cistio_, what, is it good, or no?
52618Well my friend( answered_ Bruno_) you say wee may find it, but how, and by what meanes?
52618What a beast am I?
52618What a businesse have I undertaken?
52618What a foolish woman am I, that can not well tell my selfe what I doe?
52618What a glorie is it to thee, to be affected of so faire and worthy a Lady, beyond all men else whatsoever?
52618What a mad world is this, when jealousie can metamorphose an ordinary man into a Priest?
52618What a sight is this?
52618What a wicked beast art thou?
52618What could he have done more, if he had taken thee in the open streete, and in company of some wanton Gallants?
52618What could you doe more, if hee had given her to a man of the very vilest condition?
52618What doth_ Pyrrhus_ prate?
52618What greater extreamity couldst thou inflict on me, if I had bin the destruction of all thy Kindred, and lefte no one man living of thy race?
52618What if they pul out mine eies, teare out my teeth, cut off my hands, or do me any other mischiefe: Where am I then?
52618What is the meaning of this cost, and for whom is it?
52618What is thine Opinion of my singing?
52618What is thine opinion of my amourous Scholler?
52618What may be the meaning of_ Gomedra_ be?
52618What may be the reason of these unwonted qualities?
52618What may the meaning of this matter be?
52618What meaneth this so early returning home againe this morning?
52618What meaneth_ Calandrino_ by this spetting and coughing?
52618What neede have wee of the name, when we know, and are assured of the stones vertue?
52618What prisons?
52618What reason have I to spoile thy life( thou traiterous Villaine) to rob and spoyle thy Master thus on the high way?
52618What saist thou now?
52618What say you now Ladies?
52618What shall I find that thou darst doe to me?
52618What shall I say more concerning this disastrous Lady?
52618What shall we goe away so soone?
52618What should I now further say unto you?
52618What thinke you now Ladies?
52618What thinkst thou_ Grizelda_ of our new chosen Spouse?
52618What vaile are you prating of?
52618What will be said by all men, if you doe it?
52618What wilt thou do then_ Titus_?
52618What woman is she( Gossip) that knoweth how to answer your strange speeches?
52618What would you thinke of me, if I should walk the streets thus in the night time, or be so late out of mine owne house, as this dayly Drunkard is?
52618What, and my loving mother too?
52618What, art thou preparing for building, that thou hast provided such plenty of stones?
52618What?
52618What?
52618When the mother and brethren saw this, they began to murmure against_ Arriguccio_, saying, What thinke you of this Sir?
52618When wast thou at the Hall of_ Cavicciuli_?
52618When were you this night heere in the house with mee?
52618When_ Manutio_ had ended the Song, the King demanded of him, whence this Song came, because he had never heard it before?
52618Where are you Wife?
52618Where art thou honest friend?
52618Where have you bin Sir?
52618Where is any to thy knowledge like thy selfe, that can make such advantage of his time, as thou maist do, if thou wert wise?
52618Where is this good woman?
52618Where is thy Lady and Mistris?
52618Where shall we have bread to fill our bellies?
52618Wherefore, he cryed out so lowd as he could, saying: Who is it that mourneth so aloft on the Tower?
52618Whereunto_ Nello_ answered, saying Hast thou felt any paine this last night past?
52618Whereupon he demaunded of him( as seeming to be so enjoyned by his pretended master) in what temper he found his stomacke now?
52618Whereupon, the Queene caused the Master of the Houshold to be called, demaunding of him, what noyse it was, and what might be the occasion thereof?
52618Whether shall beguiling Love allure thee, and vaine immaging hopes carrie thee?
52618Which dost thou imagine to be the greatest, either his sense and judgement, or the affection I beare to him?
52618Which way can it come from me into the world?
52618Who but my selfe could so soone have enflamed her affection, and being a woman of such worth and beauty as shee is?
52618Who hath carried you up there so high?
52618Who is it then, not transported with partiall affection, that can( in reason) more approve your act, then that which my friend_ Gisippus_ hath done?
52618Who knoweth not, I pray you, that I am as subject to sinne, as any other Woman living in the world?
52618Who then should we have for our helps and governours, if not men?
52618Who will pitty her distresse, That findes no foe like ficklenesse?
52618Why am I thus restrainde?
52618Why did you not make your need knowne to me?
52618Why do you looke so frowningly?
52618Why dost thou not call on him to come helpe thee?
52618Why how now Friar_ Reynard_?
52618Why how now deare_ Calandrino_( quoth she) jewell of my joy, comfort of my heart, how many times have I longed for thy sweet Company?
52618Why how now saucy companion?
52618Why how now wife?
52618Why how now_ Calandrino_?
52618Why how now_ Calandrino_?
52618Why how now_ Francesca_?
52618Why should I not touch her yvory breast, the Adamant that drew all desires to adore her?
52618Why should it offend me, if a Cobler, rather than a Scholler, hath ended a businesse of mine, either in private or publique, if the end be well made?
52618Why should not I have a Friend in a corner, as well as others have?
52618Why should not we go home, as well as hee?
52618Why?
52618Wicked woman, What doest thou meane?
52618Wicked, shamelesse, and most immodest Woman, Art thou come, according to thine unchaste and lascivious promise?
52618Wife( quoth he) what art thou doing?
52618Wife, may not I goe in and take the child into my armes?
52618Wilt thou tell me, that a Crane hath no more but one legge?
52618Would you have mee cast it away to the Dogges?
52618Wouldst thou have had him made me a monster?
52618Wouldst thou have me beleeve, that it is flowne away?
52618Wouldst thou( if thou couldst) shorten thine owne dayes, onely to lengthen mine?
52618Wouldst thou,( quoth_ Calandrino_) have me damne my selfe to the divell?
52618Wretched man as I am, when shall I attaine to the height of liberality, and performe such wonders, as_ Nathan_ doth?
52618Yea marry( quoth_ Buffalmaco_) how is it to be done?
52618Yes, said the Lady, why shold he not?
52618You being my Gossip, would you have me consent unto such a sinne?
52618_ Adriano_, is it day, that thou dost waken me?
52618_ Bruno_ perceiving his intent, said to_ Buffalmaco_: What remaineth now for us to doe?
52618_ Calandrino_?
52618_ Cistio_ starting up, forthwith replyed: Yes Sir, the wine is good indeed, but how can I make you to beleeve me, except you taste of it?
52618_ Credulano_, being as credulous as his name imported, seemed ready to swoune with sodaine conceit: Alas good wife( quoth he) how hapned this?
52618_ Egano_ answered thus: Wife, why should you move such a question to me?
52618_ Gasparuolo_ turning to his Wife, demanded; Whether it was so, or no?
52618_ Guido_ thou refusest to be one of our society,& seekest for that which never was: when thou hast found it, tell us, what wilt thou do with it?
52618_ John_ wondering thereat very much, jogd his wife a little, and saide to her:_ Tessa_, hearest thou nothing?
52618_ Lazaro_ stepping forth boldly like a man, replyed: Heere am I, what wold you have Sir?
52618_ Messer Corso_ demaunded of_ Guiotto_, what newes with him, and whither he went?
52618_ My_ Brunetta,_ faire and feat a, Why should you say so?
52618_ Zeppa_, What is your meaning in this?
52618am I any way afraid of thy threatnings?
52618and how?
52618and what have I to do with him, or his drunken friends?
52618answered she, is this behaviour fitting for an holy man?
52618answered_ Bruno_, What a strange motion do you make to mee?
52618answered_ Dioneus_, begin you first to act, before you speake?
52618answered_ John_, What hast thou done?
52618answered_ Maso_, doe you demaund if I have beene there?
52618answered_ Tofano_, what canst thou do to me?
52618answered_ Zeppa_, the time for dinner is yet farre enough off, wherefore then should we part so soone?
52618are the Ladies come yet or no?
52618doe you know what you say?
52618hast thou not worke enough at home, but must bee gadding in to other mens grounds?
52618hast thou put out the light, because I should not finde thee?
52618how highly am I obliged to thee for this so great a favour?
52618quoth she, what do you thinke me to be a Saint?
52618quoth shee, Doe God- fathers use to move such questions?
52618quoth_ Bruno_, doth any thing offend thee, and wilt thou not reveale it to thy friends?
52618quoth_ Geloso_, didst thou not thou confesse so much to the Ghostly Father, the other day when thou wast at shrift?
52618quoth_ Striguario_, what art thou?
52618replied the jealous Asse, what sinnes have you committed, that should neede confession?
52618said he,( speaking so loud, as hee in the Chest might heare him) What, is it time to go to dinner?
52618to a villaine, to a slave?
52618what doe I heare?
52618what fetters?
52618what have you done?
52618what may the meaning of this bee?
52618what?
52618where am I now?
52618where can be more privacie, then in your owne house?
52618why dost thou not leade her gently, which is the likelier course to prevaile by, then beating and misusing her as thou dost?
52618will you also be gentle, humble, and patient?
52618you are heartely welcome, whether are you walking, if the question may bee demaunded?
32935A millionaire, is he? 32935 Am I blind, father?
32935Am I nice, and amiable, and meek, or am I dashing and sportive?
32935And if it were, if it were?
32935And that?
32935And the girl herself?
32935And the message, the telegram from Blakeney? 32935 And what do_ you_ want, Norah?
32935And you? 32935 And-- just as a guide for moments of expansion--_might_ it be` Tony''?"
32935Are his eyes changing colour yet?
32935Are you not beautiful?
32935Are you so sure of that?
32935Ashamed?
32935At what time,asked Lilith calmly,"do you next take your morphia?"
32935But are we expected to wish you good luck? 32935 But if I want to stay?"
32935But what can you have that you wish to cover, Claudia?
32935But why in the name of all that''s ridiculous,_ Sunday_? 32935 Can it be possible that she is really my own daughter?"
32935Can_ he_ see, too? 32935 D''you remember that day up the river when we quarrelled, and I cried all over the tea?
32935D''you remember, Jack, the evening we were engaged? 32935 Did you ever happen to meet a family named Henstock, who lived in Finsbury Park?
32935Did you-- did you turn me out?
32935Do people always marry the people they love?
32935Do you know her name-- anything about her?
32935Do you object? 32935 Does that mean that he was bullied into having Me?
32935Good news, I hope, eh, Lessing?
32935Got''em again-- eh, what?
32935Have you ever been delirious?
32935How can you judge? 32935 How could you offend me, Anne?
32935How do I look?
32935How do you do, Rupert? 32935 How long is it before they begin to change?
32935How soon can you make me better?
32935How would you have felt if I had injured myself for life, climbing down from that window?
32935How_ could_ I?
32935How_ dare_ you say it? 32935 How_ dared_ I?
32935I have given my youth, my strength, my soul-- and what have I gained in return? 32935 I say,"he drawled lazily,"what about bed?
32935I suppose I come next? 32935 I?"
32935Is he blind?
32935Is he playing with you? 32935 Is he-- is he_ all right_?"
32935Is it because you love me, Claudia?
32935Is it your heart? 32935 It''s-- er-- rather an unusual proposition, is n''t it?
32935Jack-- why?
32935Lady Belcher, I think? 32935 London, the city of the oppressors-- what will be left of the great London then?
32935Man, have you no eyes? 32935 May I-- just for the next few days-- beg your acceptance of this bauble?"
32935Miss White?
32935Mrs Ingram,cried Claudia boldly,"was_ that_ what you wished for yourself?
32935Not for an odd hour here and there, but for days together, stretching out into weeks? 32935 Now, Juliet, what have you to report of Adventure?
32935Number Nine, for_ what_?
32935Oh, Val, is your heart really affected?
32935Oh, dearest and best, is that you? 32935 Oh, have I?
32935Oh, what_ must_ you think of me?
32935Or stagnate?
32935Please-- why am I Clare Lawson?
32935Shall I always be blind, father? 32935 She was shipwrecked, was n''t she, when she was sailing to India with some friends?"
32935Should I have said` drugged''? 32935 So Juliet wished for adventure, did she?
32935Suppose,she said gently,"you make me your father confessor to- night, and confess your various aims and ambitions?
32935Surprised, are n''t you? 32935 Then why on earth does he trouble to come?"
32935Then, what is your real name?
32935Think so?
32935Three days, eh?
32935Twenty- eight, is it, or twenty- nine? 32935 Well, Miss Clare, and what tales has this fine fellow been telling you about me?
32935Well, Val, what have you to tell us? 32935 Well-- what price the hospital ball next week?
32935Wh- at do you mean? 32935 What did the great grief_ do_ to you, father?"
32935What did you ask?
32935What do you feel about colour, Meriel? 32935 What is a swashbuckler?"
32935What is your name?
32935What would become of you in the evenings? 32935 What would have become of the world if other great reformers had ceased their struggles through dread of being pinched?"
32935What''s that--_torture_? 32935 What''s the matter with your health?
32935What''s wrong, then-- what''s wrong? 32935 When?
32935Who dares to say that I am drunk? 32935 Who was that dissipated- looking fellow who took you in to supper?
32935Who''s the Ogre?
32935Why do n''t you all start forth on this year with an aim in view? 32935 Why do you love me, Francis?"
32935Why do you want to marry_ me_?
32935Why should n''t you be happy, Meriel dear? 32935 Why the dickens does he stare at the ceiling?"
32935Will you quarrel with her, Jack, and kiss, and make it up? 32935 Will you take me_ now_?
32935Will you walk about all night, Jack, in case you fall asleep and find it is a dream? 32935 Wo n''t you sit down?
32935Would n''t it be better if you began at the beginning and told me the whole story?
32935You are ready to write instructions? 32935 You have had a comfortable journey?"
32935You love me? 32935 You next, Frank?"
32935You realised that-- that she is not-- like other people?
32935You think you can make me quite better for the ball?
32935You''ll be good to me?
32935You''ll promise not to quarrel, or be stingy? 32935 _ How_ many inches should you say she measures round the waist at the present moment?"
32935_ My darling_,said Antony,"_ will you marry me this week_?
32935_ What_ other stage?
32935_ Why do n''t you all prove it_?
32935_ Why had he married his wife_?
32935_ Why_ are you scared? 32935 _ Will you take me with you_?"
32935_ You_--_will_--_take_--_me away_?
32935... Eighty- one, are-- you-- there?"
32935... Would half a crown a day be agreeable?"
32935A corner house it was-- white, with green posts at the gate?"
32935A new year has opened-- what will it bring?
32935A note of interrogation quickened her voice:"I know you so well... We have met before?"
32935Agitated, almost gasping for breath, Lessing heard himself stammer detached words of inquiry:"When?
32935Am I to risk her life for a possible relief?
32935And he?
32935And how soon will you be ready to marry your stupid man?"
32935And then I saw your face... Oh, what_ do_ you think of me?"
32935And then bending nearer, so that his huge brown face almost touched her own, he hissed a question into her ear:"Claudia-- will you marry me?"
32935And what does Norah want?"
32935And who is Clare_ supposed_ to be?"
32935And who was Eighty- one, Grosvenor, who issued orders as to a subordinate, and gave instructions as to reports?
32935And you tell me that she wished for_ Power_?
32935And yours?"
32935And, with his whole being thrilling in answer to her appeal,"You_ want_ to come to me, Eve?"
32935And-- er-- where did we meet?"
32935Antony, what''s wrong with her heart?"
32935Are you all right for money?
32935Are you alone?
32935Are you alone?"
32935Are you likely to change your mind?
32935Are you ready?"
32935Are you staying down here?
32935Are you there?
32935Are you tired already of the fellow?"
32935At Henley?"
32935Besides, what''s the use of worrying about clothes while I''m with you?
32935But if you are specially anxious to look your best at this ball, why waste time in experiments?
32935But she_ did_, or how could she have married that man?
32935But what''s this nonsense about waiting two years?
32935But, after all, what had he expected?
32935By the way, did you take the physic he ordered?"
32935Ca n''t you have me made better, father?"
32935Ca n''t you make up your mind to take_ one_ instead?"
32935Can I get_ you_ some tea?"
32935Can you go on first thing to- morrow?"
32935Can you remember Jones?
32935Certainly Claudia could now claim to be one of the most gorgeously dressed women in society, but-- was she happy?
32935Dear people, will you_ all_ come to my wedding?"
32935Delia, dear, will you go?
32935Delia, does it matter to you whether I go or stay?
32935Did it mean love, the love which a man might naturally be supposed to cherish for a wife so young and lovely?
32935Did n''t you_ intend_ me to meet you?"
32935Did they admire her?
32935Did you ever know a Celia?"
32935Did you get very much stung by the nettles lying down by that wall?"
32935Did you imagine in your faintness that you had been turned out like those other screaming women, you poor little frightened girl?"
32935Did you know you could get_ China_ tea in baskets?
32935Did_ you_ wish for love?"
32935Do n''t I express myself lucidly and well?
32935Do they want you back at the office?
32935Do you believe that I am speaking the truth?"
32935Do you feel any inclination to give up Miss Clare now that you have got her to promise to take you for better for worse?"
32935Do you find the experience as satisfactory as you expected?"
32935Do you hear?"
32935Do you imagine, after all these years, I will wait a day longer than I can help?
32935Do you know it?
32935Do you think a man would deliberately_ choose_ such a fate?
32935Do you think there''d be any chance of selling the patent?
32935Do you think they will care to accept invitations from simple country dwellers like ourselves?"
32935Do you think you could_ love_ me a little, Lilith?"
32935Do you think, for a few minutes, until we can escape, you could manage to look a little--_intimate_?"
32935Do you trust me, Eve?
32935Does anyone know?"
32935Does it speak to you?
32935Does n''t that strike you as about the most sensible proposition for the moment?
32935Does n''t_ that_ help?"
32935Eh, what?"
32935Eh?
32935Even now her eyes are wonderful; but if you''d seen her as a girl, before--""Before what?
32935Everybody exclaimed, everybody enthused, everybody congratulated, with the exception of Delia, who asked lazily:"What is a director?"
32935Fine big eyes, are n''t they?
32935Forged a cheque and pretended it was you, or put money in your drawer like they do in books, you know, when they have a grudge?
32935Given it away, eh, what?
32935Gouty old tartar, who insists upon having his own way, and bullies his unfortunate nephew till he is obliged to give in for the sake of peace?
32935Grosvenor?
32935Had he been_ seen_?
32935Had she no sense that she could not realise the nature of the bargain between them?
32935Hardly playing the game is it, to run away just at this point?"
32935Has anyone been-- er-- nasty to you, Val?
32935Has he been unkind to you, cold, disappointing?
32935Has the adventure really come along?"
32935Have I offended you in any way?"
32935Have n''t they had ten years for their experiments?
32935Have n''t you a home where you can live safely and comfortably?"
32935Have you got it?
32935Have you got that?
32935Have you your pencil?
32935Have you?"
32935Have_ you_ a pretty garden to sit in?"
32935Have_ you_ proved it, Mrs Ingram?"
32935He ought to remember us, ought n''t he, everybody-- because we''ve been so kind and patient with his vagaries?
32935He touched his cap as Lessing approached, saying in an interrogative tone:"Beg pardon, sir-- Mr Lessing?"
32935He turned abruptly to the girl and put another question:"Will you come with me now and see her?
32935Her voice rang in loud, stagey accents:"False caitiff, wouldst thou indeed betray my innocent trust?
32935Honestly, you think so?
32935How am I to get out?"
32935How can I help my own nature?
32935How can one help being happy, when one has everything one wants?"
32935How can you be so selfish and unkind?"
32935How could I help it?
32935How dare you say such a lie?
32935How had it happened that he left that ball pledged to live side by side with this strange, silent girl, till death did them part?
32935How had it happened?
32935How in the world did you manage to do it?"
32935How long do you give him, Mr Bruce, before he asks for an introduction?"
32935How long is it before the-- er-- other stage comes on?"
32935How long was it, how many years since Lowther had essayed a speech?
32935How many have you?"
32935How many of them do you suppose will win through to their goal?"
32935How much longer shall you be content with inches?
32935How much longer would you have me content to stand by and wait?
32935How much was she to blame?
32935How was it that the cleverest of men so often chose weak, clinging women as companions for life?
32935How, then, had he become engaged?
32935How_ can_ I?"
32935I conclude I am to break it off?"
32935I dare not tell him: What is it that is wrong with my face?
32935I have all the adventure that I need, and,--what shall I say?
32935I''m bound to look the veriest frump in comparison, so why worry any more?
32935I''m going out with you instead... Shall we start?"
32935I''m sorry to have sprung it upon you so suddenly, but-- well, you had to have some name, had n''t you?
32935If I blow_ very_ loudly, do you think I shall go off this season?"
32935In the language, the consciousness of earth--_shall I be at all_?
32935Instantly he halted and put a sharp inquiry:"What is this house?
32935Is Mrs Dempster with you?"
32935Is it because of-- of what happened to- day?
32935Is it naughty to be blind?"
32935Is it something like that, and you are afraid in case they suspect you and send you away?"
32935Is n''t it a pity?
32935Is n''t it horrid of me?
32935Is n''t this station pretty?
32935Is she_ no_ better than at the beginning of the time?"
32935It is better, is n''t it, that we should plan our expeditions for the times when you are most-- most--""_ Most what_?"
32935It is true?
32935It was his own business, he supposed, at whose door he should lie?
32935It was through your brother that you met, was it not?
32935It was you?
32935It''s a fair exchange, is n''t it?
32935It''s not such a_ bad_ name, is it?"
32935It''s such a pretty name, so sweet and winsome-- don''t you think so?
32935Jolly little beggar, eh?
32935Lilith wished for Power?
32935Lilith?
32935Lilith?
32935May I see?"
32935Mr Lowther, may I tell you how proud my husband and I feel to number you among our guests to- night?
32935Mrs Ingram dear, you wo n''t preach, will you?"
32935Mrs Ingram, how does your prophecy apply to me?
32935Mrs Melhuish has sent me to ask you if you will have some tea?"
32935My dear,_ did_ you see the woman in the pew before ours?
32935No need to look up her address, eh?
32935Norah Boyce, eh?
32935Now do you understand?
32935Now, if I had not-- but of course as I_ have_, I could not possibly... And yet, why not?
32935Of what use to prolong the agony?
32935Of_ what_ are you afraid?
32935Oh, Geoffrey-- how long?"
32935Oh, my darling, do you mean to say that you_ care_?
32935Or is it Italy?
32935People said to one another:"Have you heard Claudia''s latest?"
32935Perhaps there are some other friends you would like to visit?"
32935Playing fast and loose, to suit his own convenience?
32935Pull many a year have I waited in love and fealty, and wouldst thou spurn the poor maiden''s heart?"
32935Rupert, if an old aunt dies, and leaves you her millions,--would I do?"
32935Rupert, what are you going to give us?"
32935S- suppose he changed his mind?"
32935Said Juliet gloomily,"Who does?
32935Send orders for two and six to N.B.''?
32935Shall we go and hide in the conservatory?"
32935She is afraid of those people-- did you know that?
32935Should n''t I look sweet, Meriel, as a widow, with a Marie Stuart bonnet and a cloak of priceless sables?
32935Should she go back to the Mary Wright Ward, tell the Sister what she had overheard, and suggest telephoning forthwith?
32935Sit up, will you?
32935Suppose he regretted it?
32935Terence, what does this mean?
32935That''s it, eh?
32935The little girl?
32935The man who was in such a dickens of a hurry to get himself into trouble?"
32935The men of the family were out, and two minutes before the maid had announced"Mrs Wright from the District,"and"Could the mistress possibly see her?"
32935The morphia naturally is soothing, but while it is working would it not be better if you were-- alone?"
32935The only question of importance which now remained was,_ what was she herself going to do_?
32935The question is-- am I to have your help?"
32935Therefore it is well to ask oneself seriously at the beginning--_Is it worth while_?"
32935Think of the pitfalls that would yawn before us over reminiscences of childhood?
32935Thought you were fairly caught that time, did n''t you?
32935Understand?"
32935Valentine Lessing,--what have you been and gone and done?"
32935Was Anne blind that she could not see what manner of woman she was?
32935Was fate kind or unkind enough to lead you through any perilous seas before you reached your present very sunshiny haven?"
32935Was it a moment, or an hour, during which he stood and stared back into those terrible eyes?
32935Was it really natural that he should be always staring up?
32935Was it the shadow of the trailing branches which made her face so white?
32935Was she pretty?
32935Was this man a maniac that he spoke of such an impossible feat?
32935Was you blind when you was a little boy?"
32935We will go where you will, live where you choose--""You will take me away?"
32935Were n''t you forever gassing about the thrill of danger, and boasting of your adventurer''s blood?
32935Were n''t you forever grousing about the dullness of life, and bemoaning yourself because you could n''t have a taste of excitement?
32935Were they_ very_ big,_ very_ fierce,_ very_ formidable?
32935What about` The Thrill''when you heard the sound of the key in the lock?
32935What business has a man of thirty with hollows in his cheeks?
32935What did that gleam mean?
32935What do you leave for her to do, except to breathe?
32935What do_ you_ mean by talking of torture?
32935What else could it be?
32935What else was there for them to do?
32935What exactly had she intended to do had Alice White still been alive?
32935What gifts, what losses, lie awaiting in its lap?
32935What had happened to spur him to such an effort?
32935What happened to her?
32935What has_ she_ got to say about this precious engagement?"
32935What have we done with our years?
32935What have you been about to allow her to come to this pass?
32935What if instead you are sapping her vitality, and stealing her chance of life?
32935What is it?
32935What is the secret longing of your heart?"
32935What man dare meddle with such a cure?
32935What on earth could they have found to say?
32935What right has she or anyone else to dictate what you should or should not do?"
32935What sorrow could Flora have?
32935What sorrow, then, could Flora have?
32935What trumpet- call had sounded in this man''s ears to rouse him from his sleep?
32935What was it that Juliet wished for?"
32935What was my wife''s wish?"
32935What was the expression of Lilith''s face?
32935What was the reason of Flora''s strange behaviour?
32935What was this Alice White, and on what mission had she crossed the ocean?
32935What would John think if Miss Mellor were arrested, and gave the name of Norah Boyce as her chosen friend and confidante?
32935What would be left to me if you went?
32935What''s it all about?"
32935What''s the matter with you?
32935What''s the use of glowering there?"
32935What''s the use of grizzling?
32935What''s the use of them, anyway?
32935What''s this nonsense about not going back with him at once?"
32935What?"
32935When I told her of a fresh commission she asked always--`How much will it be?''
32935When have you seen me drunk?"
32935When its last hour trembles away on the striking of a deep twelfth chime, what will happen to me?
32935When was that-- fifteen years ago?
32935Where are they, by the way?
32935Where else should you go but Scotland Yard?
32935Where shall I be?
32935Where shall they go?"
32935Where-- How do they start--?"
32935Where?
32935Where?"
32935Which of the number would be the first to tear her from her seat?
32935Which was Manning?
32935Who am I that I should expect the extraordinary?"
32935Who can distinguish one worker from another?
32935Who can guard miles of river bank?
32935Who comes next on the list?
32935Who is it that is` expecting''me, as you say?"
32935Who is she?
32935Who is speaking?"
32935Who is this woman?
32935Who says I take morphia?"
32935Who_ is_ Clare Lawson?"
32935Why am I blind?
32935Why are you afraid?"
32935Why are you so cross with me all of a sudden?"
32935Why ca n''t you make a week of it while you are here?
32935Why did n''t He, father?"
32935Why did n''t you wire?"
32935Why did you ever--""Marry her?"
32935Why did you-- excuse me-- choose such a profession if your conscience is so tender?"
32935Why do n''t you speak?
32935Why do you want to marry me, if you disapprove of me so much?"
32935Why does he stare at the ceiling?"
32935Why need she cry?
32935Why on earth should you go?
32935Why should n''t you?
32935Why should the mere fact of being stout make it seem ridiculous for a woman to have a share in romance or excitement?
32935Why should we fret, and be troubled?
32935Why should you give up so much?"
32935Why trouble about might- have- beens?
32935Why was it that through all his elaborate attentions there lurked a cold, a sinister effect?
32935Wicked uncle, eh?
32935Will you tell us what it was?"
32935Will you write a letter in pencil and slip it into her letterbox so that she may have it at breakfast?"
32935With a shaking hand he beckoned Juliet to his side, and levied a shocking question:"Girl, do you wish to kill me?"
32935Would Meriel come down and pay her a nice long visit?
32935Would Thursday suit?
32935Would Tony come and give him an arm?
32935Would he propose; and, if so, would she--_could_ she accept?
32935Would it not be better to communicate with them, rather than with mere officials in an office?
32935Would you come?
32935You are everything that a woman ought to be... And why do you love me?"
32935You believe it, do n''t you?
32935You quite understand?"
32935You remember it, do n''t you?
32935You think so really?
32935You understand that you have an insuperable objection to the Indian climate?"
32935You understand, Miss White?
32935You wo n''t make me marry you, and then put me on an allowance, or fuss about bills?
32935You''d spun us that yarn more than once-- forgot that, did n''t you?
32935You_ do_ believe it?"
32935You_ do_ love me, John?"
32935You_ will_ trust yourself, wo n''t you, darling?
32935_ Has_ he any eyes?
32935_ Is it worth while_?
32935_ Is_ it your heart?"
32935_ Was_ he going to say that he was_ engaged_?
32935_ Were_ the boy''s eyes all right?
32935_ What is it_?"
32935_ What is the matter_?
32935_ What was the expression in her eyes_?
32935_ What_ would you do if she were in your charge?"
32935_ Why do you look at me like that_?
32935_ Why had Lilith married him_?
32935_ Without_ you?
32935_ You_ came into that restaurant, sat at my table-- spilled that salt?"
32935how much longer are we to be content with ruts?
32935it''s not kind... What about that kiss?"
32935she cried,"why should I be ashamed?
32935too?"
32935what are you doing here?
32935what can I do for you?
23700Are ill things then made after this fashion?
23700Do you begin to do deeds ere you come to say words? 23700 How?"
23700Nay, madam,rejoined Dioneo,"fash not yourself; but which then like you better?
23700Who, then, are you?
23700''Alack, Gianni mine, knowst thou not what it is?
23700''Alack, doctor,''cried Bruno,''what is this you ask me?
23700''Alack, father mine, what say you?''
23700''Alack, sir,''answered the sick man,''you, who seem to me a man of God, how can you say such words?
23700''Alack, sir,''cried Biondello,''what is this?''
23700''Alack, sweet my soul, what is this thou sayest?
23700''Alack,''cried the lady,''hast thou then been straitened for lack of money?
23700''Am I then dead?''
23700''And I will do it,''[193] rejoined he;''but what guerdon am I to have of you for such a service?''
23700''And did you say it[82] this morning?''
23700''And doth not your husband lie with you?''
23700''And for what cause?''
23700''And how is it to be exorcised?''
23700''And how many miles is it distant hence?''
23700''And thou,''retorted she,''why goest thou not for thy master?
23700''And what canst thou do to me?''
23700''And what might this"shrewdly to my profit"be?''
23700''And what was it that moved thee to such compassion of us?''
23700''And who is the damsel, my lord?''
23700''And who was thy father?''
23700''Ay do we,''replied he,''as well as other men; and why not?
23700''But how,''asked she,''can he go thither alive?''
23700''But what means,''asked Calandrino,''can we find?''
23700''Did we not go to bed together here?
23700''Do I not tell you?''
23700''Do the dead eat?''
23700''Do the dead ever return thither?''
23700''Dost thou not know me?
23700''Go to, son,''rejoined the friar;''what is this thou sayest?
23700''Good lack,''repeated Bruno,''can it be?''
23700''Hath he not given over annoying thee?''
23700''How can that be?
23700''How can that be?''
23700''How so?''
23700''How so?''
23700''How so?''
23700''How, sayest thou?''
23700''How, then, shall we do?''
23700''How, then,''asked the jealous man,''can the priest also lie with you?''
23700''How?''
23700''How?''
23700''How?''
23700''How?''
23700''How?''
23700''How?''
23700''How?''
23700''How?''
23700''I have enough and to spare of such things; but an you wish me so well, why do you not render me a service, and I will do what you will?''
23700''In what?''
23700''Marry,''cried Calandrino,''that were a fine country; but tell me, what is done with the capons that they boil for broth?''
23700''Marry,''replied the other,''how can we do it?''
23700''O ay,''replied the lady,''I know thou art a chilly one; is then the cold so exceeding great, because, forsooth, there is a little snow about?
23700''O my son,''quoth the friar,''seemeth this to thee so heinous a sin?
23700''Or if,''went on her fellow,''we should prove with child, how would it go then?''
23700''That is true,''rejoined the inquisitor;''but why did these words move thee thus?''
23700''Then what wouldst thou have done?''
23700''Then,''said Calandrino,''it must be farther off than the Abruzzi?''
23700''Then,''said the lady,''I am to become a widow?''
23700''Then,''said the man,''to whom doth he send me?''
23700''They have but one thigh and one leg?
23700''Things are lost that are not to be found,''replied Tingoccio;''and how should I be here, if I were lost?''
23700''Thinkest thou that I am a saint, because thou keepest me mewed up?
23700''Thou knowest not what I mean?
23700''Thou tossest?
23700''We have not so much as tasted it,''replied he; and she said,''How was that?''
23700''Well hast thou done,''said the friar;''but hast thou often been angered?''
23700''Well, then,''said Bruno,''how is it fashioned?''
23700''What a devil?''
23700''What aileth thee to pull such a face?
23700''What bigness is this stone,''asked Calandrino,''and what is its colour?''
23700''What doth that concern thee which great kings do to one another?
23700''What is that?''
23700''What meaneth Dolladoxy?''
23700''What meaneth this?''
23700''What?''
23700''What?''
23700''Who art thou?''
23700''Who is there?''
23700''Why did not she give the priest wine of the cask against the wall?''
23700''Why dost thou ask me?''
23700''Why dost thou not welcome Tedaldo, as do the other ladies?''
23700''Wife,''answered Egano,''what is this whereof thou askest me?
23700''Worth?''
23700''You did not call on them?
23700Accordingly he came down and his master said to him,''Now, what sayst thou thou sawest?''
23700Again, hath it so soon dropped your memory that it was the violences done of Manfred to women that opened you the entry into this kingdom?
23700Again, who is there knoweth not your virtue?
23700Alack, why dost thou not go to sleep for to- night?
23700Am I asleep or awake?
23700Am I not as fair as Ricciardo''s wife, thou villain?
23700Am I not as good a gentlewoman?
23700Am I so changed?
23700An they believe not themselves able to abstain and lead a devout life, why do they not rather abide at home?
23700An you have a mind unto this, you have store of goodly chambers; why go you not do it in one of these?
23700And I tell thee more, we do far and away better work and knowest thou why?
23700And Mistress Tessa, what aileth her?
23700And certes I confess I did ill; but who is there doth not ill bytimes?
23700And for whom?
23700And how can I be so graceless as to offer to take this from a gentleman who hath none other pleasure left?''
23700And in what company could I betake me more contentedly or with better assurance to the regions unknown than with it?
23700And this being so( as I know it was) what cause should have availed to move you so harshly to withdraw yourself from him?
23700And thou, Pyrrhus, in whom I most trusted?''
23700And what a devil are we women good for, once we are old, save to keep the ashes about the fire- pot?
23700And who could keep himself therefrom, seeing men do unseemly things all day long, keeping not the commandments of God neither fearing His judgment?
23700And who will deny that this[ comfort], whatsoever[ worth] it be, it behoveth much more to give unto lovesick ladies than unto men?
23700And who would not have believed it, hearing a man at the point of death speak thus?
23700And you, madam, are you not ashamed to suffer it in my presence?
23700Art thou for building, that we see all these stones here?
23700Art thou grown dumb, hearing me?
23700At last, he made believe to awake for stress of shaking, and calling to Adriano, said,''Is it already day, that thou callest me?''
23700Belcolore, hearing require the cloak again, would have answered; but her husband said, with an angry air,''Takest thou a pledge of his reverence?
23700Belcolore, who was gone up into the hay- loft, hearing him, said,''Marry, sir, you are welcome; but what do you gadding it abroad in this heat?''
23700Besides, can you wonder at her having a mind to hear the nightingale sing, seeing she is but a child?
23700Buffalmacco, seeing this, said to Bruno,''What shall we do?
23700But I pray you make me clear of one thing; how knew you that I was here?''
23700But hath anger at any time availed to move thee to do any manslaughter or to bespeak any one unseemly or do any other unright?''
23700But how shall we do, so Buffalmacco may not know?
23700But let us come to the fact; tell me, do you remember, ever to have had a lover?''
23700But now you were sore disordered; how cometh it you have so quickly recovered that you do such things?
23700But tell me, God keep thee merry, is there none of those wonder- working stones to be found in these parts?''
23700But tell me, who art thou that usest me thus?''
23700But tell me, who is more akin to your child, I who held him at baptism or your husband who begat him?''
23700But thou, that are more cruel than any wild beast, how couldst thou have the heart to torture me after this fashion?
23700But what booteth it now to repine?
23700But what booteth it to set out to you in detail all the lands explored by me?
23700But what doth Pinuccio yonder?
23700But what say I of our Fra Rinaldo, of whom we speak?
23700But what shall we say to those who have such compassion on my hunger that they counsel me provide myself bread?
23700But what wouldst thou have me say to her on thy part, if I should chance to get speech of her?''
23700But what[ skilleth it]?
23700But why dost thou ask me thereof?''
23700But why need I enumerate them to you?
23700But why should I enlarge in so many words?
23700But why should I hark back after every particular?
23700But you, sir, can you not tell me aught of her?''
23700But, after all, what booteth this dream?
23700But, an it be so, what can I do in this that you desire?''
23700But, an thou have so great a wish to descend, why dost thou not cast thyself down?
23700But, let us see; maybe Tedaldo deserved this usage?
23700But, should they put out mine eyes or draw my teeth or lop off my hands or play me any other such trick, how shall I do?
23700But, tell me, hast thou sinned by way of avarice, desiring more than befitted or withholding that which it behoved thee not to withhold?''
23700Calandrino incontinent began to quake and said,''Alack, how so?
23700Calandrino, hearing them all in the same tale, held it for certain that he was in an ill way and asked them, all aghast,''what shall I do?''
23700Can I have some rotten tooth in my head?''
23700Can it be that aught aileth me?''
23700Can it be that this he saith appeareth to him to be true?
23700Can it be true that I hold thee?''
23700Can the physician have returned or other accident befallen, by reason whereof the lady hath hidden me here, I being asleep?
23700Ciacco, well pleased, paid him and rested not till he found Biondello, to whom quoth he,''Hast thou been late at the Cavicciuoli Gallery?''
23700Deemest thou I should do well to fetch it?''
23700Deemest thou me a child, to be flouted on this wise?''
23700Deemest thou they have two legs?''
23700Deemest thou, husband mine, I am as blind of the eyes of the body as thou of those of the mind?
23700Did I not bid thee say not a word for aught that thou shouldst see?
23700Did I not deal thee a thousand buffets and cut off thy hair?''
23700Did I not return hither, after running after thy lover?
23700Did he ever give you any offence?''
23700Disse Alibech: O che?
23700Do monks such things?''
23700Do priests do such things?''
23700Dost thou not know thyself, good for nought?
23700Dost thou not know thyself, losel that thou art?
23700Dost thou take me for Ercolano''s wife?
23700Doth he rave?''
23700Doth it beseem holy men to require women, who come to them for counsel, of such things?''
23700Doth it irk thee that I should beat thee?''
23700Doth not your husband lie with you?''
23700Ferondo, weeping and crying out, did nought but ask,''Where am I?''
23700Good lack, why dost thou not sup, an thou have a mind to sup?
23700Had I ever had the least thought of doing any one of the things whereof you speak, think you I believe that God would so long have forborne me?
23700Hast thou no regard for thy kinsfolk''s honour and thine own?
23700Hast thou the face to bandy pleasantries at such a time?
23700Hath it then escaped thy mind between this and matinsong that thou hast outraged some one this very morning?
23700Have I crucified Christ?''
23700Have I never seen a crane before?''
23700Have I well performed my promise to thee?''
23700Have you heard how your fine brother- in- law here entreateth your sister?
23700Have you then brought me hither for this?
23700He answered,''Hearest thou not what he saith he hath done this night unto Niccolosa?''
23700He hath kept us all night upon thorns and hath caused thee freeze; but knowest thou what?
23700He knew that I was a woman; why, then, did he take me to wife, if women were not to his mind?
23700Her mother and brothers, seeing and hearing all this, turned upon her husband and said to him,''What meanest thou, Arriguccio?
23700How can this be?
23700How canst thou choose him, seeing he hath nothing in the world?''
23700How could I abide quiet?
23700How did it happen?
23700How is a man to live with women?
23700How know I, madam, but you do the like in the election of your lovers?
23700How many women do you see whose charms are such as mine, who would be fair in Paradise?''
23700How say you now, lovesome ladies?
23700How sayst thou?''
23700How shall I bring forth this child?
23700How shall I do?
23700However, Fortarrigo still stood to it, as it were not spoken to him and said,''Ecod, why wilt thou not better me these three shillings?
23700However, after long parley, a priest said,''What fear ye?
23700I told thee that I loved a priest, and wast not thou, whom I am much to blame to love as I do, become a priest?
23700I told thee that the priest lay with me every night, and when was it that thou layest not with me?
23700I was the first man whom he told that he was to marry Bergamina: seest thou now?''
23700If thus, then, it be, as is manifestly to be seen, what do we here?
23700Is it because I have plucked out maybe half a dozen hairs of thy beard?
23700Is it good?''
23700Is there no more water to be found in the world?''
23700Is this of the justice of kings, that they who resort on such wise to their arms should be entreated after such a fashion, be they who they may?
23700Is this the love you bear Spinelloccio and the loyal companionship you practise towards him?''
23700It is not the month of October''?"
23700Knowest thou it not?
23700Knowest thou not that we have promised our virginity to God?''
23700Knowest thou who these are thou wouldst have burnt?''
23700Marry, seemeth it to thee thou hast not enough to do at home, that thou must go wantoning it in other folk''s preserves?
23700Marry, who but we had been simple enough to believe that a stone of such virtue was to be found in the Mugnone?''
23700Marry, why didst thou not require me thereof?
23700Marry, why should we not better ourselves by these three shillings?''
23700Martuccio, seeing his mistress, abode awhile dumb for amazement, then said sighing,''O my Costanza, art thou then yet alive?
23700Melisso and Giosefo stood watching this and said often to the muleteer,''Alack, wretch that thou art, what dost thou?
23700Meseemeth thou hast a mind to do nought to- day, that I see thee come back, tools in hand; and if thou do thus, on what are we to live?
23700Messer Geri, having seen him do thus one and two mornings, said on the third,''How now, Cisti?
23700Meuccio awoke and said,''Who art thou?''
23700Moreover, when shall I ever find such a lover as Il Zima?
23700Must we needs be gone already?
23700Now with whom thinkest thou to have been?
23700Or what know I but maybe some enemy of mine hath procured me this, whom she belike loveth and seeketh to oblige therein?''
23700Or, if they will e''en give themselves unto this,[185] why do they not ensue that other holy saying of the Gospel,"Christ began to do and to teach?
23700Pietro, hearing this, straightway lifted up his head and Fineo, speaking in Armenian, said to him,''What countryman art thou and whose son?''
23700Presently, Messer Gentile coming up, one of his guests said to him,''Sir, this is a fair creature of yours, but she seemeth to us mute; is she so?''
23700Presently,''What meaneth this?''
23700Quoth Alessandro,''How shall I go into the abbot''s chamber, seeing thou knowest it is little and of its straitness none of his monks might lie there?
23700Quoth Bruno to Buffalmacco,''How deemest thou?
23700Quoth Bruno,''Will thy heart serve thee to touch her with a script I shall give thee?''
23700Quoth Calandrino,''Deemest thou, gossip?
23700Quoth Calandrino,''Methinketh it is she, for that he called her and she went to him in the chamber; but what of that?
23700Quoth Calandrino,''These be indeed great virtues; but where is this second stone found?''
23700Quoth Ferondo,''And how far are we from our own countries?''
23700Quoth Mistress Featherbrain,''And who chastised you thus?''
23700Quoth he to her,''Why dost thou not get thee to bed?
23700Quoth he,''And what sin hast thou committed that thou wouldst confess?''
23700Quoth her husband,''Go to; thinkest thou I believe in the howlers?
23700Quoth she,''An thou be of Constantinople and newly come hither, how knowest thou who I am or who is my husband?''
23700Quoth she,''Seest thou not?''
23700Quoth the friar,''Say you so?
23700Quoth the girl,''And how far is it hence to any habitations where I may have a lodging for the night?''
23700Quoth the good woman,''And what is that, madam, which you would have him do?''
23700Quoth the holy friar,''What aileth thee, my son?''
23700Quoth the inquisitor,''Heardest thou aught therein whereof thou doubtest or would question?''
23700Quoth the lady,''Of what heat dost thou speak, daughter?
23700Quoth the lady,''What may this be?
23700Quoth the painter,''Hath aught ailed thee this night?
23700Quoth the son,"And how are they called?"
23700See p. 389, where the lady says to her lover,"Whether seemeth to thee the greater, his wit or the love I bear him?"
23700Seem my charms to you such as those of yonder others?
23700Seemeth to thee that I know how to make folk jig it without sound of trump or bagpipe?''
23700Shall we say, because it burneth houses and villages and cities, that it is naught?
23700Shall we say, then, because it harmeth the fevered, that it is naught?
23700Shall we, then, follow after these who are thus fashioned?
23700Shall''s do''t?''
23700She laughed and answered,''What is it I do to you?''
23700Should I cast it to the dogs?
23700That cloak?
23700The abbess, hearing him speak whom she held dumb, was all amazed and said,''What is this?
23700The abbess, taking not her meaning, answered,''What coif, vile woman that thou art?
23700The beauty of yonder damsel deserveth to be loved of all, and if I love her, who am young, who can justly blame me therefor?
23700The gentleman, going up, found his wife at the stairhead, all disordered and fearful, and said to her,''What is all this?
23700The good simple man, hearing this, was like to swoon and said,''How so?''
23700The host, hearing this talk and being not overwell pleased therewith, said first in himself,''What a devil doth this fellow here?''
23700The ladies asked,''How putteth one the devil in hell?''
23700The lady turned to her husband and said,''What saith Pyrrhus?
23700The lady turned to him and said, smiling somewhat,''Speak you to me, sir?
23700The lady, having solaced herself with her lover till near upon midnight, said to him,''How deemest thou, my soul, of our scholar?
23700The lady, hearing this, hesitated awhile, then said,''How?
23700The lady, hearing this, was all aghast and answered,''Alack, father mine, what is this you ask?
23700The lady, laughing, for that she was a frolicsome dame and doubtless had cause to laugh, answered merrily;''How?
23700The lady, turning round haughtily, answered,''What meaneth this?
23700The lady, who had heard it much better than he, made a show of awaking and said,''Eh?
23700The maid turned back into the house and betook herself to bed, whilst the lady said to her gallant,''Well, how sayst thou?
23700The other, hearing this and having now a greater itch than her companion to prove what manner beast a man was, said,''Well, then, how shall we do?''
23700The women, hearing this, began to say,''Who is there?''
23700The young lady, seeing this, drew him up into her lap and said, well nigh weeping,''Alack, sweet my lord, what aileth thee?''
23700Then how, at the bidding of a scurvy, envious numskull of a friar, could you take such a cruel resolve against him?
23700Then said Calandrino,''Wast thou ever there?''
23700Then said Ferondo,''Is there none here other than we twain?''
23700Then said the damsel,''Since I can go no otherwhere, will it please you harbour me here to- night for the love of God?''
23700Then said the friar,''Well, hast thou done aught else?''
23700Then said the husband''Where art thou?
23700Then, rising to her feet,''Brothers mine,''quoth she,''you are welcome; but what go you all three seeking at this hour?''
23700Then, turning to her, where she stood, all shamefast and confounded, he said to her,''Griselda, wilt thou have me to thy husband?''
23700There be all the queens in the world, even, I may say, to the Sirreverence of Prester John, who hath his horns amiddleward his arse; see you now?
23700There, coming into the chamber, he cried out angrily, saying,''Where art thou, vile woman?
23700Therewithal Calandrino fell to crying out and saying,''Alack, why will you drive me to desperation and make me blaspheme God and the Saints?
23700Think you I am blind?
23700Think you I can not see?''
23700Think you he will eat you?
23700Think you to do with me as you did with Biliuzza, who went off with the ghittern- player?
23700Think you you can not be requited the loss of a horse and of some small matter of clothes?
23700Thinkest thou I shall not be able to oblige thee therewith another time?
23700Thinkest thou I will suffer thee pawn my gown and my other poor clothes?
23700Thinkest thou by importunity to overcome this lady''s chastity, that thou climbest up to her windows anights by the trees?
23700Thinkest thou not to find here who shall give thee baptism?
23700Thinkest thou she can hold out?
23700Thinkest thou that, an I wished him such weal as thou fearest, I would suffer him stand a- freezing down yonder?''
23700Thinkest thou this that thou hast done is a jesting matter?''
23700Thinkest thou thou couldst make a conquest of him?''
23700Thinkest thou to make me believe that it hath flown away?''
23700Thou art his; and what should he regard or succour, an he regard not neither succour thee?
23700Thou wilt not?
23700To do it in three casts and cause it stand by dint of cudgelling?
23700To give an hundred years is no great boon; how much less, then, is it to give the six or eight I have yet to abide here?
23700To whom have I borne so much love these many years?
23700To whom pertaineth it more than unto him?
23700Was he not accomplished in such things as pertain unto young men?
23700Was he not handsome among all his townsmen?
23700Was he not loved, cherished and well seen of every one?
23700Was he not noble and young?
23700Was he not palsied?''
23700Was it not far better to gratify withal a gentleman who loveth me more than himself, than to leave it waste or spoil?''
23700Was it six florins?''
23700Were you not forewarned of this?''
23700What awaitest thou here, now that thou hast supped?''
23700What be this?
23700What books, what words, what letters are holier, worthier, more venerable than those of the Divine Scriptures?
23700What can be a greater glory for thee than that such a lady, so fair and so noble, should love thee over all else?
23700What canst thou do to me?''
23700What chains, what prison, what gibbets had sufficed thereunto?
23700What deemest thou aileth me?''
23700What dream we?
23700What else could have made him so forward to vouchsafe his sister to his friend, albeit he saw him very poor and reduced to the extreme of misery?
23700What hast thou to do in Sicily?''
23700What hast thou to do often of him?
23700What hath she more than I?
23700What have you made me eat?''
23700What is all this ado?''
23700What is it worth?''
23700What is the cause of this grief?
23700What is this thou sendest to say to me with thy"rubify me"and thy"minions"?
23700What is this violence?''
23700What is this you do?
23700What look we for?
23700What mare sawest thou ever without a tail?
23700What meaneth this tossing?''
23700What meaneth this?
23700What meaneth this?''
23700What monks are there that do not thus?
23700What more could I expect from thee or any other, if I had done all thy kinsfolk to death with the cruellest torments?
23700What more could you do, had he bestowed her upon a churl, a losel or a slave?
23700What more shall we say of the ill- starred lady?
23700What more should I tell you?
23700What more[ need I say?]
23700What more[ shall I say?]
23700What other object, then, could fill my sight, Enough of pleasance e''er To kindle in my breast a new desire?
23700What other than a crack- brain like thee, who has suffered thyself to be blinded by thy jealousy, had failed to understand these things?
23700What sayst thou, Calandrino?
23700What wilt thou do, an she tell her brothers?''
23700What would be said of you, an you should do it?
23700What would you say, were I in the street, as he is, and he in the house, as am I?
23700What, then, charming ladies, shall we say of Cimon?
23700What, then, gentle ladies, will you say[ of this case]?
23700What, then, wilt thou do, Titus?
23700What, was not I enough for thee?
23700When I am old?
23700When and where can we be together?''
23700When didst thou beat me?
23700When he came back, Bruno said to him softly,''Hast seen her?''
23700When the lady saw him do this, she said,''Alack, Zeppa, what meaneth this?
23700When they had gone some distance, the good man asked his wife,''What befell of our young woman, who came thither yestereve?
23700When wast thou in this house to- night till now, let alone with me?
23700When will he ever render me them[174] again?
23700Whence shall he issue?
23700Whence shall we get bread?
23700Where am I?
23700Where and on what settest thou thy mind and thy love and thy hope?
23700Where wast thou this morning a little before day?''
23700Wherefore, then, wilt thou put them to death, whenas thou shouldst rather honour them with the greatest favours and boons at thy commandment?''
23700Whereto she answered, with an offended air,''Good lack, sir friar, have you no eyes in your head?
23700Whereupon her brothers, making mock of her, said''Silly woman that thou art, what is this thou sayest?
23700Whereupon quoth Pietro, who loved her exceedingly,''Lady mine, how wilt thou have me abide here?
23700Whereupon quoth Pyrrhus,''What booteth it to make words of the matter?
23700Whereupon quoth the man, recognizing her,''Alack, madam, who hath brought you up yonder?
23700Whereupon said he,''What can this be?
23700Whereupon the pilgrim, rising to his feet, hastily cast off his palmer''s gown and hat and speaking Florence- fashion, said,''And know you me?''
23700Whether seemeth to thee the greater, his wit or the love I bear him?
23700Which Aldobrandino seeing,''What is this, Ermellina?''
23700Which of thy peers knowest thou who fareth better by way of delight than thou mayst fare, an thou be wise?
23700Whither go I?
23700Whither lettest thou thyself be carried away by delusive love, whither by fallacious hope?
23700Who but Griselda could, with a countenance, not only dry,[483] but cheerful, have endured the barbarous and unheard proofs made by Gualtieri?
23700Who came hither?''
23700Who ever saw any, other than thou, lament for that which he himself hath willed?
23700Who ever so commended him as thou didst in all those praiseworthy things wherefor a man of worth should be commended?
23700Who is it hath been here?
23700Who is it sneezeth thus?"
23700Who is within there?''
23700Who knoweth not that fire is most useful, nay, necessary to mortals?
23700Who knoweth not that without money idleness may not endure?
23700Who that saw him come had not deemed him palsied in good earnest?''
23700Who then, letting be wilfulness and considering with reason, will commend your counsels above those of my Gisippus?
23700Who will know it?
23700Who would so have quickly apprehended every particular of my intelligence as hath this worthy man?
23700Who, other than I, had known to make such a lady so quickly in love with me?
23700Whom goeth Messer Lambertuccio threatening thus in such a fury?''
23700Whom, then, lovest thou?
23700Why all this haste?
23700Why answerest thou not, wicked man?
23700Why are we more sluggish and slower to provide for our safety than all the rest of the townsfolk?
23700Why bideth he not in his own bed?''
23700Why did you call on God and the Saints?
23700Why did you not say to me,"Make it thou"?
23700Why do we not get us gone?''
23700Why dost thou not answer, thou sorry dog?
23700Why dost thou not call him to come help thee?
23700Why goest thou still wandering about the house?''
23700Why sayst thou not somewhat?
23700Why should we not?
23700Why studiest thou not to manage him by fair means and gentle dealing?
23700Why waste I my youth?
23700Will it please you have''Come forth unto us, so it may be cut down, like a May in the midst of the meadows''?"
23700Will the cold which I presently cause him suffer do away from thy mind the doubts which my pleasantries aroused therein the other day?''
23700Will''t ever chance I may once more regain Th''estate whence sorry fortune hath me torn?
23700Wilt have a pair of shoes or a head- lace or a fine stammel waistband or what thou wilt?''
23700Wilt thou for the sake of a lewd and disorderly appetite, forsake thine honour and me, who love thee more than my life?
23700Wilt thou kill the beast?
23700Wilt thou never think to come home betimes?
23700Wilt thou not come thither, thou?''
23700Wilt thou rather abide here for this man''s whore and in mortal sin than at Pisa as my wife?
23700You are my gossip; how can I do this?
23700You know not what it meaneth?
23700You left me but now, after having taken pleasure of me beyond your wo nt, and do you return so soon?
23700You say forsooth you will enforce yourself; to what?
23700Your maid hath gone seeking you all day; but who had ever thought you could be here?''
23700Zeppa, coming up, said,''Wife, is it dinner- time?''
23700[ 176] But tell me, what was the occasion of your falling out with him?
23700[ 404] And wilt thou judge an I say sooth?
