21478 | And how did you find Pat? |
21478 | And who is that boy in the Indian dress? |
21478 | Are we to continue our search for the horses, or must we give it up? |
21478 | Bouncer, old fellow, where have you come from? |
21478 | But how are we to get along without food? |
21478 | But how shall we ever reach the` cache''without provisions? |
21478 | But if the Indians have left the neighbourhood, what are we to do? |
21478 | But if we do not go on foot how are we ever to get to Fort Ross? |
21478 | But the deer must be shot first, and fitting bones found to make the hooks; and then, as to bait? |
21478 | But where are you to find iron for the hooks or material for the lines? |
21478 | Can Sandy have forgotten to hoist it? |
21478 | Did you ever expect to become like an Indian, and to be contented with your lot? |
21478 | Have you any friends in the neighbourhood, Misther Miskwandib? |
21478 | He has evidently been living a long time among Indians, and it''s my belief he has made his escape from them.--Is that the case, boy? |
21478 | How are we to get the fish to stop and be struck at? |

21478 | I do n''t know what Alick will think about it, but I suspect that it will take too long a time,I said;"and where are the handles to be found?" |
21478 | I must eat it, if I can get nothing else,I said to myself; but then again I thought,"By what means shall I reach the fort? |
21478 | I wonder how long a man can go without eating? |
21478 | I''ll do it if I have the chance,he answered;"but why do n''t you shoot the baste?" |
21478 | May I venture to ask how you came to be here? |
21478 | Now what you carry? |
21478 | Shall we cut him up at once, or go back and take Alick and Robin on board, and then return for the purpose? |
21478 | Tell me, boy,he exclaimed, interrupting him--"have you no recollection of your parents? |
21478 | Then have my father and mother escaped? |
21478 | Well, Mr Pipe, but suppose you take three guns and the remainder of the price either in blankets or in tobacco, will that not content you? |
21478 | What are these for? |
21478 | What are we to do now? |
21478 | What could make you do such a thing? |
21478 | What do you say, lads, to pushing forward at once to the fort at Touchwood Hills? 21478 What do you think of it?" |

21478 | Where are the rest, Bouncer? 21478 Who are you, friends?" |
21478 | Who are you? |
21478 | Why do you say that? |
21478 | ` Are you sure that it is dead?'' 21478 ` What do you say, my son?'' |
21478 | Are they near at hand?" |
21478 | CAN IT BE YOU?" |
21478 | Could a fresh body of Indians be about to attack us? |
21478 | DON''T YOU REMEMBER US?" |
21478 | I could not avoid asking myself, should any of us be able to endure the fatigue we must first undergo, or should we even obtain food to support life? |
21478 | I hope you are all right, though?" |
21478 | It wo n''t be worth while to carry these swans with us; will it?" |
21478 | It would soon come to an end, and then what could we do? |
21478 | Rose spoke to him first, and then Letty exclaimed,"Surely you can speak English?" |
21478 | They knew also that they would not be pursued, as the snow would have completely obliterated their trail? |
21478 | What could have happened to delay them? |
21478 | What do you say?" |
21478 | What has been their fate?" |
21478 | What should we say to his father and mother, should we again meet them, or to Rose?" |
21478 | What''s your name?" |
21478 | When I awoke in the morning, not a sight was there of the canoe, and I thought to myself, What was I to do? |
21478 | Who can he be?" |
21478 | any one hereabouts? |
21478 | can it be you?" |
21478 | can that be you? |
21478 | do n''t you remember us?" |
21478 | is he there? |
21478 | now you''re coming in, are you? |
21478 | now, what''s become of the powder?" |
21478 | now, what''s it all about?" |
21478 | shure, is it yourself that''s spaking to me?" |
21478 | shure, shure, what shall we be afther doing?" |
21478 | that''s what we''ll be afther doing,"cried Pat.--"Won''t we, boys? |
21478 | thin, why in the name of wonder did you come?" |
21478 | what''s that there?" |
11426 | Achille, you have n''t anything against me-- do you want me to die? |
11426 | All is at peace between us? |
11426 | All of that is quite true,he repeated after a second''s pause;"but what has it to do with me? |
11426 | And in the meantime? |
11426 | Are you just a little sorry for me? |
11426 | Are you there, Galen Albret? |
11426 | Are you? 11426 Better to take_ la Longue Traverse_ in summer, eh?" |
11426 | But is it not a little calculating? 11426 But your heart?" |
11426 | Ca n''t you see? |
11426 | Do n''t you hear? |
11426 | Do n''t you see the logic of events forces me to think so? 11426 Do n''t you think this farce is about played out? |
11426 | Do you leave-- to- day? |
11426 | Do you think I will tell you? |
11426 | Do you wish me to go, father? |
11426 | For w''at I want dat you die? 11426 Have you a canoe?" |
11426 | Have you a rifle-- for_ la Longue Traverse_? |
11426 | How could I know? |
11426 | How you mak''eet him so mad? 11426 How you mak''eet him?" |
11426 | I beleef you,responded Achille, cheerfully;"w''at you call heem your nam''?" |
11426 | Is he gone? |
11426 | Is that all? |
11426 | Is the journey then so long, sir,she asked composedly,"that it at once inspires such anticipations-- and such bitterness?" |
11426 | Is the trade so good, are your needs then so great, that you must run these perils? |
11426 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
11426 | Mademoiselle? |
11426 | Must I decide at once? |
11426 | No-- yes-- why not? |
11426 | Shall I be sent out at once, do you think? |
11426 | Sorry for a weakness you do not understand? 11426 Surely you can forgive me, a desperate man, almost anything?" |
11426 | That you? 11426 Then why did you change your mind?" |
11426 | Then why do you stay in this dreadful North? |
11426 | Then why is he not our guest? |
11426 | Then why? |
11426 | This dreadful thing is necessary? |
11426 | This_ Longue Traverse_,went on Albret,"what is your idea there? |
11426 | Virginia goes with me? |
11426 | Virginia, this is true? |
11426 | Wat you do? 11426 Wat you wan''me do?" |
11426 | Well? |
11426 | What do you mean by that? |
11426 | What do you mean? |
11426 | What do you mean? |
11426 | What do you want with me? |
11426 | What does this mean? |
11426 | What great danger is he in? |
11426 | What happened? |
11426 | What is his station? 11426 What is that?" |
11426 | What is that? |
11426 | What then? |
11426 | What wrong? |
11426 | What? |
11426 | Who can tell? |
11426 | Who is that man? 11426 Who told you?" |
11426 | Who was that second person? |
11426 | Who? |
11426 | Whose? |
11426 | Why did I come? 11426 Why did I come?" |
11426 | Why did you come here, then? 11426 Why did you not ask me, as you intended? |
11426 | Why not? |
11426 | Why, if you have realized the gravity of your situation have you persisted after having been twice warned? |
11426 | Why-- why did you come? |
11426 | Why? 11426 Why?" |
11426 | Why? |
11426 | Why? |
11426 | Will not the princess leave her sisters of dreams? |
11426 | Will she recover? |
11426 | You are going to Quebec? |
11426 | You are going to do this thing, father,appealed Virginia,"after what I have told you?" |
11426 | You can not mean that? |
11426 | You consent? 11426 You do not believe me?" |
11426 | You have everything you need? |
11426 | You knew my father? |
11426 | You knew this before? |
11426 | You know who aided this man? |
11426 | You love my daughter truly? |
11426 | You persist in that nonsense? |
11426 | You refuse? |
11426 | You tell me of it yourself? 11426 You think so?" |
11426 | You think so? |
11426 | You were alone? |
11426 | You? |
11426 | Your father-- you knew him well? |
11426 | Your right? |
11426 | Am I forgiven?" |
11426 | And that is a solemn thing; is it not?" |
11426 | Are you going to treat your little girl so-- your Virginia? |
11426 | Are you, indeed?" |
11426 | But do I err in concluding that the state of your game law is such that it would be useless to reclaim my rifle from the engaging Placide?" |
11426 | But last night----""Yes, last night?" |
11426 | But where did you get this rifle?" |
11426 | Can you ask that? |
11426 | Did be not owe her, too, some reparation? |
11426 | Did n''t you hear me calling you when you paddled away? |
11426 | Did you come here to try_ la Longue Traverse_ of which you spoke to- day?" |
11426 | Do n''t you see how I felt? |
11426 | Do n''t you suppose I had weighed the risks and had made up my mind to take my medicine if I should be caught? |
11426 | Do n''t you suppose I knew what I was about when I came into this country? |
11426 | Do n''t you understand?" |
11426 | Do you dare deny my will? |
11426 | Do you dare interfere where I think well? |
11426 | Do you dare set your judgment against mine? |
11426 | Do you refuse?" |
11426 | Do you think I have not been here often before I was caught? |
11426 | Do you wish to know the real reason for my coming into this country, why I have traded in defiance of the Company throughout the whole Far North? |
11426 | Does it touch you a little? |
11426 | Does the Company own the Indians and the creatures of the woods?" |
11426 | Does_ he_ give such orders? |
11426 | Feel the wind on your cheek? |
11426 | Had he nothing more to tell her? |
11426 | Had she not heard it in the music of his voice from the first?--the passion of his tones? |
11426 | Have there been men sent out since you came here?" |
11426 | How could I help but come? |
11426 | I believe I could touch her pity-- ah, Ned Trent, Ned Trent, can you ever forget her frightened, white face begging you to be kind?" |
11426 | In what danger does he stand? |
11426 | Is he a common trader? |
11426 | She exclaimed, in astonishment,"Are you not of the Company?" |
11426 | Since when has the Company confided in Andrew Laviolette, in Wishkobun, in_ you_?" |
11426 | Surely you admit the injustice?" |
11426 | That is a solemn thing, too, is it not?" |
11426 | The hardships of the wilderness are many, the dangers terrible-- what more natural than that a man should die of them in the forest? |
11426 | They have my goods-- but I----""You?" |
11426 | Was not this an opportunity vouchsafed him to repair his ancient fault, to cleanse his conscience of the one sin of the kind it would acknowledge? |
11426 | Was the word to lack, the word she needed so much? |
11426 | Was this to be all? |
11426 | What are you going to ask of me?" |
11426 | What do you suppose I care what, or what not, any of this crew wants? |
11426 | What does he want a rifle for? |
11426 | What is your information?" |
11426 | What must he think of her? |
11426 | What other course is open to you? |
11426 | What was the aid you asked of him? |
11426 | When do I leave?" |
11426 | Who is this man?" |
11426 | Why am I stopped and sent out from the free forest? |
11426 | Why did you come back? |
11426 | Why did you come?" |
11426 | Why did you tell me these lies?" |
11426 | Why has it been kept from me alone? |
11426 | Why is that?" |
11426 | Will you not greet me?" |
11426 | Will you promise to do that?" |
11426 | Wo n''t you tell me about it?" |
11426 | Would not you too mock and sneer? |
11426 | Would not you, too, be bitter, mademoiselle? |
11426 | Would you like to go to Quebec?" |
11426 | You is come trade dose fur? |
11426 | You will be there-- surely?" |
11426 | _ He_?" |
11426 | _ What_ is he?" |
11426 | _ Who_ is he? |
11426 | and where else did you expect to get it?" |
11426 | the dreamy, lyrical swing of his talk by the old bronze guns? |
11426 | whispered the voice, fantastically,"Will she not come?" |
21707 | ''Tis vat? |
21707 | A fair flower, say you? 21707 Ah, George, like you I may say that the cause is now perplexity; for what can_ I_ do to help you in your present difficulty?" |
21707 | And Frank, where is Frank? |
21707 | And did they use Peter''s skin for such a purpose? |
21707 | And did you see them do it? |
21707 | And do you not love all the men? |
21707 | And pray who is to defend your poor wife and innocent child in the event of an attack by a band of savage natives? |
21707 | And the baggage, is it laid out? 21707 And what do you think of the non- arrival of Maximus?" |
21707 | And what if they still persist in refusing to go? |
21707 | And what perplexes you now, dear George? |
21707 | And why do you hate him? |
21707 | Any news? 21707 Are n''t we snug, Eda?" |
21707 | Are they far inland? |
21707 | Be- the- bye,resumed Bryan, when the metal was cooled,"has Francois finished that sled for Miss Edith?" |
21707 | Bin, is it? 21707 Bliss yer innocent face, do n''t ye know it''s praties?" |
21707 | But did you not tell him that we found the skin long ago, and that the Indians must be far, far away by this time-- nobody knows where? |
21707 | But how came you so opportunely, Prince? |
21707 | But tell me, Massan, what is a dan? |
21707 | But who comes here? |
21707 | Can it be possible? |
21707 | Can you spare Edith for a short time, wife? |
21707 | Come here, Chimo,said Edith, when these symptoms of restlessness had attracted her attention;"what is the matter with you, my dear dog? |
21707 | Come here, Oolibuck; pourquoi is de stick? |
21707 | Come, then, Master Frank,replied Stanley,"what does your sagacity advise on the point of our staying on this sandbank? |
21707 | Could we not run back, Massan? |
21707 | D''ye know, Losh,he resumed,"whin Mister Frank is goin''to the fishery?" |
21707 | D''ye think I''m a haythen? |
21707 | Did any of the men go out alone? |
21707 | Did they see the bundle of presents we left for them at the coast? |
21707 | Did they see you? |
21707 | Did you see goose? |
21707 | Do I lean heavily? |
21707 | Do n''t you hear a strange noise, Frank? |
21707 | Do the dogs of the Huskies eat with their masters? |
21707 | Do they look friendly, think you? |
21707 | Do you hear? 21707 Do you know anything of this, Maximus? |
21707 | Do you really mean to say they are_ afraid_ to go? 21707 Does he never fail in anything, that you are so sure of him?" |
21707 | Has he brought any furs? |
21707 | Have the Allat got her? |
21707 | Have they been long on the coast? |
21707 | Have you been victorious? |
21707 | How say you, Prince? 21707 How''s the old woman, eh?" |
21707 | If the little fellows begin thus, what will not the big ones do? |
21707 | Indeed it is very kind of him, my pet; but all the men seem to be very good to you-- are they not? |
21707 | Is Prince a lazy man, papa? |
21707 | Is he coming, Chimo? |
21707 | Is it to halloo ye want me? |
21707 | Is it true that you saw the men of fire? |
21707 | Is it yer own gun ye''ve got? |
21707 | Is the country we are going to like this, papa? |
21707 | Is your contry resemblance to dat? |
21707 | It''s quite true, though-- isn''t it, Moses? |
21707 | Mane? 21707 May it not be possible,"murmured Stanley, while he leant his brow on his hand,"that she may have gone up False River?" |
21707 | Nay, husband, what think you? |
21707 | None o''the min goin''? |
21707 | O Frank, how can you be so wicked? |
21707 | O my own dear mother,sighed the child aloud, while a tear trickled down each cheek,"shall I never see you more? |
21707 | Och, Losh, Losh, when will ye larn to think nothin''o''yoursilf? 21707 Please, madame, vat you vill have pour dinner?" |
21707 | Pourquoi, why, mon boy? 21707 Rather cold, is it not?" |
21707 | Shall I get in? |
21707 | Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
21707 | Snug, said you, Jessie? 21707 So you think you would have killed him, do you, if I had not saved you the trouble?" |
21707 | Stuff it down, avic, an''what''s to come o''the wather? |
21707 | Taisin''ye? 21707 That is very wrong of Gaspard; but, dearest Eda, do you not remember what is written in God''s Word,--`Love your enemies?'' |
21707 | The kittle, is it? 21707 Then does my father not know where you are, or anything about your having heard of me?" |
21707 | There, Jessie, what think you of that? |
21707 | Timper it better, is it? |
21707 | Vat were dat? |
21707 | Vell, fat you want? |
21707 | Was that all? |
21707 | Well, Frank, what success? |
21707 | Well, then, we had better encamp,said Stanley.--"Is there a proper place, Massan, hereabouts?" |
21707 | Well, what says he? |
21707 | What can have become of papa, I wonder? |
21707 | What do you see, Frank? |
21707 | What does White Heart mean to do with the Eater- of- raw- flesh? |
21707 | What does he mean by that? |
21707 | What have ye in the pot there? |
21707 | What have you to say to me? |
21707 | What is it, Peetoot? 21707 What is it?" |
21707 | What is that man doing? |
21707 | What is the matter, my darling? |
21707 | What shall I do, Frank? |
21707 | What shall we call the fort, Frank? |
21707 | What think ye of that, boy? |
21707 | What think you, Edith? |
21707 | What will you give me? |
21707 | What''s a dan? |
21707 | What''s the matter, Moses? 21707 What''s to be done now?" |
21707 | What''s to be done wid it, Losh? 21707 When did you awake, and begin to suspect that something was wrong?" |
21707 | Where am I, Eda? |
21707 | Where are the Allat? 21707 Where is Bryan, Frank?" |
21707 | Whereabouts was it, Frank, that you fell in with the boat? |
21707 | Which do you consider the old block,retorted Mrs Stanley--"you or me?" |
21707 | Who is he, and wherefore in so great haste? |
21707 | Why do n''t you speak of summer, papa? |
21707 | Why you come for to jine de company? |
21707 | Why, Bryan, what ails you? 21707 Why? |
21707 | Yes, is n''t it, Eda? |
21707 | ` Well, Old Moggy,''said I, on entering her tent,` what cheer, what cheer?'' 21707 ` What shall we do, Maximus?'' |
21707 | --I see you want me to do or say something; what can it be, I wonder?" |
21707 | A salmon must be rather troublesome to toss, but no doubt, with your strong arms, you''ll manage it easily, hey?" |
21707 | All ready, lads?" |
21707 | And is the bed to be of snow too?" |
21707 | And now, captain, when must you start?" |
21707 | And who would have a painting_ all_ light or_ all_ shadow? |
21707 | Are all well?" |
21707 | Are both canoes repaired?" |
21707 | Are we agreed?" |
21707 | Are you better now?" |
21707 | Are you willing?" |
21707 | At length he said,"Could not Dick Prince be spared?" |
21707 | But really the thing does seem to my ignorant mind impossible.--What think you, Eda?" |
21707 | But what have we here?" |
21707 | But who is this you have got beside you?'' |
21707 | But wo n''t it be cold, Frank? |
21707 | Could human beings face so wild a storm as this? |
21707 | D''ye hear?" |
21707 | Dear Chimo, where is Frank?" |
21707 | Did they remind you of the fair maid of Derry, hey?" |
21707 | Did you ever see her before?'' |
21707 | Did you see traces of Indians or Esquimaux?" |
21707 | Do n''t you think I am too little to shoot a gun off?" |
21707 | Do you advise our remaining?" |
21707 | Do you think Annatock will let me? |
21707 | Do you think it like?" |
21707 | Do you think the girl''s a witch?'' |
21707 | Do you understand these marks?" |
21707 | Fat shall ye to do?" |
21707 | Has Prince refused? |
21707 | He was well armed, you say, and amply supplied with provisions?" |
21707 | How can ye expict it to kape its idge when ye lave it for iver lyin''among yer pots and kittles?" |
21707 | How do you think you will like it?" |
21707 | How many have you perpetrated since we were married?" |
21707 | How say you? |
21707 | How you not can temper him edge better?" |
21707 | I doubt it would need a power o''chewin?" |
21707 | Is Chimo safe? |
21707 | Is it like, mamma? |
21707 | Is it not kind of Francois? |
21707 | Is it not so? |
21707 | Is it not so?" |
21707 | Is the distance really short?" |
21707 | It signifies,_ Are you friendly_? |
21707 | Kissing Eda''s forehead she said kindly,--"Which of them do you hate, darling?" |
21707 | Mais, Francois, did you look into the deep clear pool at de foot of de rapid?" |
21707 | Nivertheless I managed to live well enough in the ould cabin wid the murphies--""Vat is murphies?" |
21707 | Observe, I do not say that this is actually the case; I only suggest that it is possible-- may I not add, probable?" |
21707 | Och, Bryan dear, why did ye iver lave yer native land?" |
21707 | Oh, when, when will it come?" |
21707 | Said they anything more, Frank?" |
21707 | Saw you ever a crow with antlers?" |
21707 | Says he,` Bryan, will ye go?'' |
21707 | Shall we go, or shall we mutiny?" |
21707 | Shall we spend another night on it in order to dry the goods, or shall we up and away to_ terra firma_ as soon as the canoes are seaworthy?" |
21707 | Shall we turn back?'' |
21707 | Shure a man is better than a baste any day; and besides, had I not a frind at my back ridy to help me?" |
21707 | Speak literally, man: was it a little white girl that you saw?" |
21707 | Tell me, is she in one of the other oomiaks?" |
21707 | The draughts without, Frank, are a little too powerful for the draughts within, I fear.--What, wife, making another coat? |
21707 | The question should have been,` Who will be first to volunteer?''" |
21707 | Then a thrill of fear passed through her breast as the thought occurred,"What if the wolf has attacked and killed him?" |
21707 | Then in an undertone he added,"` Look sharp,''is it ye say? |
21707 | Then, checking him as he was about to commence the work with his hatchet, she said earnestly--"Do spirits really dwell in the springs, Frank?" |
21707 | There''s another,--eh? |
21707 | Vill you give some?'' |
21707 | Were they sweet, Bryan? |
21707 | What is''t, man? |
21707 | What say you, Eda; will you allow me to train you to shoot, and fish, and walk on snow- shoes, and so make a trader of you?" |
21707 | What say you? |
21707 | What shall we call it?" |
21707 | Where am I, Edith?" |
21707 | Where come you from?" |
21707 | Where have you been?" |
21707 | Where is my wife?" |
21707 | Wherein consists the potent charm that draws mankind towards thee with such irresistible affection? |
21707 | Why did she not come with you?" |
21707 | Why do you ask?" |
21707 | Why do you look so excited? |
21707 | Will four days''provisions do?" |
21707 | Will you go in my canoe or walk?" |
21707 | Will you wake and watch?" |
21707 | Would my Eda like to go there?" |
21707 | Would the scalp of yon Eater- of- raw- flesh pay us for coming so far from our hunting- grounds? |
21707 | Ye''ve run out o''baccy, now? |
21707 | Yes, and we''ll invite papa and mamma to come and take supper at_ our_ house.--Maximus, is this the exact way your friends build their winter houses?" |
21707 | You know that Monsieur Stanley said he would expect us to be ready with an answer to- night.--What think you, Gaspard? |
21707 | You recollect the hut we built on the lake when I was so badly hurt, and when you were lost, Eda? |
21707 | You shudder at the preposterous idea of such a sight being fitted to rejoice the heart of man in any degree whatever? |
21707 | are Francois, Gaspard, and Massan cowards?" |
21707 | ca n''t ye go stidy? |
21707 | do you understand me?" |
21707 | exclaimed Frank, as the canoe drew near;"does it not look like Maximus-- eh?" |
21707 | exclaimed Frank;"but did any of you see Bryan? |
21707 | exclaimed Stanley, looking out ahead;"what''s that?" |
21707 | exclaimed the Irishman, once more wrinkling up his expressive face, and peering under his palm;"anthlers, say you? |
21707 | how hot it is.--I say, Oolibuck, does n''t it remember you o''the dogs o''yer own country, when they gits the stone kettle to clean out?" |
21707 | how is she? |
21707 | how_ can_ you?" |
21707 | how_ can_ you?" |
21707 | is it not a delightful place?" |
21707 | more game?" |
21707 | not at it yet? |
21707 | repeated Frank;"what objections can bold spirits have to go on a bold adventure? |
21707 | said Frank, as a sudden thought occurred to him;"shall I cut a doorway into that crystal house, and see if the spirit of the spring dwells there?" |
21707 | say you, reader? |
21707 | shall we cross?" |
21707 | shall we make a good day of it?" |
21707 | they exclaimed;"you here?" |
21707 | vat shall I do?" |
21707 | what have we here?" |
21707 | what have we here?" |
21707 | what have we here?" |
21707 | what have ye got there, Maximus?" |
21707 | what have ye got there?" |
21707 | what is it, my dog? |
21707 | what mean you?" |
21707 | what recked he of the consequences? |
21707 | what''s this?" |
21707 | what''s wrong? |
21707 | what''s wrong?" |
21707 | whence came this charger?" |
21707 | where are you taking me to?" |
21707 | who goes there?" |
21707 | why did you do that?" |
21707 | why do n''t you give up eating it raw?" |
21707 | why_ wo n''t_ you have it cooked?" |
21707 | will it come stiff; think ye?" |
21707 | will ye see the poor lad drownded forenint yer two eyes?" |
21707 | you do n''t agree with us? |
21753 | A truce to your jesting, Biarne; what land is it? |
21753 | Ah, then,cried Krake, with a look of great alarm,"what is it going to do?" |
21753 | And O''af too? |
21753 | And are you left behind? |
21753 | And pray what may that be? |
21753 | And pray what may that be? |
21753 | And say,continued Thorward, beginning to[ eat] a large drumstick,"how may_ that_ be done?" |
21753 | And the younger lad, Hake, what of him? 21753 And what may that be?" |
21753 | And what may your advice be? |
21753 | And when do you go? |
21753 | And where does Emma dwell? |
21753 | And who is Karlsefin? |
21753 | And yet it would seem,said Bertha,"that not one is fair enough for you?" |
21753 | And, pray, what good would that do to_ us_? |
21753 | Are not these footsteps descending the ridge? |
21753 | Are our enemies numerous? |
21753 | Are there none of our men possessed of powers that are, at all events, more than those of_ ordinary_ mortals? |
21753 | Are these grapes? |
21753 | Are they not later than usual? |
21753 | Are you content to dwell here? |
21753 | Are you not on viking- cruise? |
21753 | Are you thirsty, Olaf? |
21753 | Art thou sure he saw thee not? |
21753 | At what part of the pool? |
21753 | Ay, so I can, but who could swim with a coil of rope round his neck and legs? |
21753 | Ay, who knows? |
21753 | Bof f''ee? |
21753 | Brother- in- law,exclaimed Gudrid, reproachfully,"do you forget that you are an Icelander?" |
21753 | But are you sure? |
21753 | But what of your own doings, Leif? |
21753 | But why did you not shout before_ him_? |
21753 | But you''ll sing it after Hake has sung, wo n''t you, Krake? |
21753 | But_ is_ it better? |
21753 | By the way, how_ is_ the chief, Bertha? |
21753 | By whose orders? |
21753 | Can the man not swim? |
21753 | Coming towards us? |
21753 | Could n''t see him_ at all_? 21753 Did these men never boast when they were boys?" |
21753 | Did you say that Olaf took the track of the woodcutters? |
21753 | Did you see tents? |
21753 | Do they speak Norse? |
21753 | Do you know, Hake, much about the nature of this new religion that has come amongst us, and made so many people change? |
21753 | Do you mean Bertha''s father? |
21753 | Do you mean what you say? |
21753 | Do you think that Bertha returns Hake''s love? |
21753 | Do you think they really mean to attack us? |
21753 | Do you think they will attack us again? |
21753 | Do you? 21753 Does any one see Olaf?" |
21753 | Does he not support his family as well as thou dost, and labour more severely than thou for that purpose? 21753 Does it know what has happened to Hake and Heika?" |
21753 | Does it not remind you of our own dear land? |
21753 | Does it pain you much, dear? |
21753 | Eh? |
21753 | Hast discovered a new fishing- ground, Heika? 21753 Hast fed him?" |
21753 | Hast seen such a brute before? |
21753 | Have you and Heika ever ascended that mad stream? |
21753 | Have you found them? |
21753 | How come you to be so far from home? |
21753 | How did that happen? 21753 How knew he her name?" |
21753 | How now? 21753 How should I know?" |
21753 | How so, boy? |
21753 | How so? |
21753 | I know it-- who should know it so well as his own father? |
21753 | I will be sure not to fail you; but, Heika, is that not a little too late? 21753 If ye had held fast ye would n''t have been there,"said Biarne;"where are ye?" |
21753 | If you did not speak it, ye thought it, I doubt not.--But, tell me, is your land as good a land as Norway? |
21753 | If you go, Leif,asked Karlsefin,"will you return and spend the winter with us?" |
21753 | Is all well in Vinland? |
21753 | Is n''t it nice? |
21753 | Is not his flesh and blood the same as thine, his body as well knit together as thine, and as well suited to its purposes? |
21753 | It appears to me as if some plan were rolling in your head, Biarne,said Karlsefin;"what may it be?" |
21753 | It is risky, no doubt; but is not everything more or less risky? 21753 It wants to walk, does it? |
21753 | It was here, was it not,asked Biarne,"that you and your brother saw the salmon leaping on the occasion of your first visit?" |
21753 | Just think,he continued,"what would it do in Greenland without O''af to give it rides and take it out for long walks?" |
21753 | Kill the cat? |
21753 | Know it? 21753 Looks_ that_ like peace?" |
21753 | Milk-- eh? 21753 My men and I shall be able to render you some service, Leif,"said Karlsefin;"what do you intend to do?" |
21753 | Nay, but is it true? |
21753 | Now are ye sure that all is on board-- nothing omitted? |
21753 | Now, friends, was not that a great omission on the part of Karlsefin? |
21753 | Now, is n''t that vexin''? |
21753 | Now, then, Krake,said Tyrker,"tell us the story about that king you were talking of the other day; which was it? |
21753 | Oh why, why did I break my promise? |
21753 | Oh, what do you think? |
21753 | Say you so? |
21753 | Say you so? |
21753 | Say, thou thrall, before refilling that capacious cavern, what had best be done in order to increase our speed? |
21753 | See there, carls; think you that ye could overtake these rascals? |
21753 | Shall we set the nets? |
21753 | Snorro,said Karlsefin, who sat beside Whitepow in front of the fire with the child on his knee,"are you glad to see your father again?" |
21753 | So you are going off on a sealing expedition, are you? |
21753 | Sure it is n''t pains you''re troubled with? |
21753 | Sure? 21753 Surely ye have not grown afraid of water, Hake?" |
21753 | Tell me, Karlsefin, how is it with yourself? |
21753 | That is bad,replied Leif;"what troubles it?" |
21753 | The boy is sharp beyond his years,said Karlsefin, stopping abruptly and looking at Biarne;"what thinkest thou of that?" |
21753 | The thrall? |
21753 | Their names? |
21753 | Then,pursued Leif,"if the Skraelingers be apparently as good as thou art, how can ye say that they are not worth making much of?" |
21753 | There is some truth in what ye say about gratitude; but what of Hake? |
21753 | There thou art wrong, Anders,said Leif, with much gravity;"does not Flatface love his wife and children as much as you love yours?" |
21753 | Think ye not that the cares of such a large and growing colony are sufficient to account for any new wrinkles that may appear on my brow? |
21753 | This is pleasant, is n''t it, Freydissa? |
21753 | To me? |
21753 | True; but this religion is said to change those who profess it-- what if they are not changed? |
21753 | Truly it is,replied Thorward;"but the question is, can this be the set of rascals who carried off the children? |
21753 | W''at''s spiwit? |
21753 | W''at''s_ f''ee_? |
21753 | W''en? 21753 Was he a big one?" |
21753 | Was it not arranged that_ I_ should kill him? |
21753 | Was this right in thee, brother? |
21753 | We could not live separate-- could we, Snorrie? |
21753 | Well, Anders, hast had a visit from Flatface? |
21753 | Well, dost_ thou_ wish to stay? |
21753 | Well, have you told her? |
21753 | Well, if I did so I have not retained it,replied Leif, with a laugh;"but say, how know you that this is Karlsefin''s ship?" |
21753 | Well, well, Olaf, hold your noisy tongue,said Gudrid, laughing,"and come, tell me how would you like to go to Vinland?" |
21753 | Well-- how were you taken? |
21753 | What are they doing now? |
21753 | What causes the regret just now? |
21753 | What do you advise? |
21753 | What do you see, father? |
21753 | What have you to boast of in Turkey? |
21753 | What is it, Snorrie? 21753 What is that I see?" |
21753 | What is that you say about Bertha? |
21753 | What is that? |
21753 | What news bring you, Biarne? 21753 What now?" |
21753 | What say you, Karlsefin? |
21753 | What splendid man, child? |
21753 | What think you? 21753 What were you going to say? |
21753 | What wild thoughts are these, brother? 21753 What, Vinland?" |
21753 | What, with you_ alone_? |
21753 | What_ is_ the man after now? |
21753 | When are you to be back? |
21753 | Where am I? |
21753 | Whereaway next, Snorrie? |
21753 | Wherefore not? |
21753 | Which way do you hope they will decide? |
21753 | Who knows? |
21753 | Why did ye not bring my son? |
21753 | Why did ye that? |
21753 | Why do n''t you go below,said Freydissa testily,"instead of shivering up here?" |
21753 | Why not include the teeth in your list, brother? |
21753 | Why not? |
21753 | Why, Olaf, what''s this? 21753 Why, Tyrker, where have you been?" |
21753 | Why, how can that be? |
21753 | Why, what ails thee? |
21753 | Why, what has become of your memories, my friends? |
21753 | Why? 21753 Will you hold me responsible if I lose it?" |
21753 | Without overturning? |
21753 | Would they not like beer better? |
21753 | Ye speak in riddles, man; what mean you? |
21753 | You do n''t mean to say we have to go up that maelstrom? |
21753 | You do n''t say that, boy? |
21753 | You think there is no hope? |
21753 | You told us just now,returned Karlsefin,"that you were_ as happy as you could be_, did you not? |
21753 | You will not, I suppose, object to follow, if I lead the way? |
21753 | After all, how could I expect that you would be willing to forsake Bertha and face so great a danger?" |
21753 | And what does Krake care to be the beginning of a new nation? |
21753 | And who has not, at one period or another of life, been led to make comparisons to that step? |
21753 | Are you so eager to get at the grapes that ye think the first land we meet is Vinland?" |
21753 | Are you sure it_ was_ a salmon you saw, and not a large trout?" |
21753 | As he lay there the burden of his thoughts was ever the same--"Oh_ why_ did I do it? |
21753 | Ay, I know it well; why, man, how comes it that this did not occur to me before? |
21753 | Besides, did you not tell me that his hide was tough, and advise me to prick him well?" |
21753 | Biarne is returning, of course?" |
21753 | Biarne says they are very good-- do you think so too?" |
21753 | But how come you to be wandering here alone, Hake? |
21753 | But in regard to Hake--""Ay, in regard to Hake, go on; why dost thou stop?" |
21753 | But what else could we expect from ye?" |
21753 | But what good can wishing do_ now_? |
21753 | But what is the particular view that gives you uneasiness?" |
21753 | But what say Heika and Hake to this?" |
21753 | But what, then, is your advice?" |
21753 | But who comes here in such hot haste? |
21753 | But why do you think this course of action needful?" |
21753 | But, Hake, has your party gone yet?" |
21753 | Come, tell me the story; but, first, who is your father?" |
21753 | Did I not tell you that I had a dream about two ships, and said I not that I was sure something was going to happen?" |
21753 | Didst fasten the window, wench?" |
21753 | Do n''t you remember how he came to save us from the Skraelingers, and nearly did it too? |
21753 | Do n''t you too?" |
21753 | Do you chance to know where Leif is this morning?" |
21753 | Do you hear?" |
21753 | Do you object to make_ that_ your mark?" |
21753 | Do you see them?" |
21753 | Does he pine for his native land, think ye?" |
21753 | Dost think I am afraid?" |
21753 | Dost think there would be much risk in the voyage thy brother contemplated?" |
21753 | Dost understand?" |
21753 | Freydissa, stormy weather-- eh?" |
21753 | Go, Biarne, let the men spread out-- stay!--Is not this the foot of a man who wears a shoe somewhat different from ours?" |
21753 | Has not that thrall Hake overturned the peace of my sweet kinswoman Bertha? |
21753 | Have any of your men spoken on that subject?" |
21753 | How did he look when he saw you? |
21753 | How did you rescue him? |
21753 | How goes it, Gudrid?" |
21753 | How was that?" |
21753 | I did but say that it seemed strange, and I''m sure that Bertha agrees with me in that-- don''t you, Bertha?" |
21753 | I suppose you deem it more beautiful than Iceland?" |
21753 | If any one chanced to ask the question,"Where is Snorro?" |
21753 | Is he not a better hunter, too, and a faster walker, and fully as much thought of and prized by his kindred?" |
21753 | Is it eaten too much ye have? |
21753 | Is it not so?" |
21753 | Is n''t that nice? |
21753 | Is not the boat ready? |
21753 | Is that what ye want to say?" |
21753 | Is the kettle boiling?" |
21753 | It knows what married means, do n''t it?" |
21753 | Knowest thou aught in regard to it, Heika?" |
21753 | Nay, have I unintentionally touched on a sore point?" |
21753 | Need we remark that, for the time, Olaf and Snorro forgot their sorrow? |
21753 | Need we say that this is the Scottish Earl, the father of our fleet- footed thralls, and that the dark- haired girl is Emma? |
21753 | Of what value is a thrall''s life? |
21753 | Olaf, were you after a salmon?" |
21753 | Perhaps I may go there; but you have not yet answered Gudrid''s question-- would you like to go?" |
21753 | Poor what?" |
21753 | See you the round knot on the stem of yonder pine? |
21753 | See you yonder little bird on the topmost branch of that birch- tree that overhangs the stream? |
21753 | See you yonder rock-- the largest-- where the foam breaks most fiercely, as if in wrath because it can not overleap it? |
21753 | Shall we listen to what our friends say? |
21753 | Tell me how was it, and when and where was it? |
21753 | Tell me, Biarne, didst thou poison the ears of Freydissa by telling her that I had been courting thy cousin Astrid?" |
21753 | The longer he walked the sadder he grew, and at last he groaned rather than said,"What_ shall_ I do?" |
21753 | There was silence for some minutes, which was broken at length by a very small voice saying:--"''Norro go to G''eenland too?" |
21753 | Turning again to him, he said--"You know the kitchen, Flatface?" |
21753 | We struggled hard, but what could two unarmed men do among fifty? |
21753 | What does it think?" |
21753 | What he said-- who can tell? |
21753 | What is thy thought, Biarne?" |
21753 | What is your advice, Leif?" |
21753 | What more unlikely than that Karlsefin should forsake the religion of his fathers? |
21753 | What say you, Hake? |
21753 | What shall I say? |
21753 | What venture do ye intend?" |
21753 | What would ye more? |
21753 | What''s lost?" |
21753 | What''s the matter?" |
21753 | What, then, do you think, is wisest to be done?" |
21753 | What_ shall_ I do? |
21753 | When he was going away he looked at the skins, and said to my father,` Wilt thou give me a present of one of these wolf- skins?'' |
21753 | When the ship was near enough Leif shouted--"Is Olaf on board?" |
21753 | Where are Thora and Astrid?" |
21753 | Where did you find him? |
21753 | Where got you this tankard, Leif, it is very massive and the workmanship such as one seldom meets with save in kings''houses?" |
21753 | Who ever heard of a man crossing the ocean in a small boat?" |
21753 | Who ever heard of a man running a race with a full stomach-- much less winning it? |
21753 | Who has not heard of that solitary step which lies between the sublime and the ridiculous? |
21753 | Who knows but that it may be as large as Norway? |
21753 | Who knows but the land may wear a prettier dress when the mantle of winter is gone? |
21753 | Why did I disobey?" |
21753 | Why did you not do it?" |
21753 | Why do you wish to make it?" |
21753 | Why might we not multiply such signs? |
21753 | Why so?" |
21753 | Why, Swend, what''s i''the wind now?" |
21753 | Will these men of Iceland decide to return home or to remain here?" |
21753 | Will you lend it to me?" |
21753 | Will you take_ me_?" |
21753 | Wouldst like to see a Scotsman, Gudrid?" |
21753 | ` Who will go with me to Greenland?'' |
21753 | am not_ I_ ready, and is not the opportunity favourable?" |
21753 | and I suppose ye think a Scottish earl is better than a Norse king?" |
21753 | and shall I leave you to face this enterprise alone? |
21753 | cried Freydissa, diving again into the tub;"do you call that weeping? |
21753 | cried Heika,"how can ye couple our native land with such a matter- o''-fact thought as dinner?" |
21753 | did I not hear your name called this morning among those appointed to go forth and search out what is good and beautiful and useful in the land?" |
21753 | did not I say that he could tell you?" |
21753 | does Karlsefin condescend to turn eavesdropper?" |
21753 | echoed Hake;"why, what craven spirit has come over thee? |
21753 | echoed the boy, turning an ardent gaze full on Karlsefin,"are you going there, sir? |
21753 | exclaimed Hake, flushing,--"What? |
21753 | he cried, laying his hand on Heika''s shoulder, on recovering himself;"was it wise to treat me thus like a child?" |
21753 | is it the ship of a friend or a foe?" |
21753 | is it tired?" |
21753 | may I go with you?" |
21753 | said Thorward with a suppressed chuckle;"and how, my bold youth, if thou art observed and caught before getting hold of the children?" |
21753 | shall I draw back like a coward at the last moment, after pledging my word to go? |
21753 | suppose we shove it down on the bear?" |
21753 | what is her name?" |
21753 | wilt thou carry her off whether she will or no?" |
21753 | you''re not sorry to see land, are you?" |
21753 | you_ never_ miss your mark? |
6357 | ''And what is that?'' 6357 ''Baking again, Anderson?'' |
6357 | ''Did n''t I tell you, you young blackguard, that the grouse- pie was to be kept for Sunday? 6357 ''Do Knisteneux hunt at night, prowling in the bed of a stream?'' |
6357 | ''Does the young wrestler want_ another_ wife?'' 6357 ''Has the light- hair got a medicine- bag, or does she speak with spirits, that she has found me so easily?'' |
6357 | ''Well, sir''said he,''do you wish to speak to me?'' 6357 Ah, some beads and silks, eh? |
6357 | All right,cried Harry, suppressing his feelings with a strong effort;"what next?" |
6357 | An''p''r''aps you''ve heerd tell of his first trip of discovery along the shores of the Polar Sea? |
6357 | An''please, master,put in Jacques,"when do you mean to let us off from this place? |
6357 | An''where has''e been took to? |
6357 | And Misconna? |
6357 | And did you never see him again? |
6357 | And did you not undeceive the greenhorn? |
6357 | And do you intend to do so? |
6357 | And does Jacques know he is here? |
6357 | And does she agree? |
6357 | And how much will that be? |
6357 | And no one else? |
6357 | And pray what is_ that_? |
6357 | And pray, good Redfeather, what did your thoughts tell you? |
6357 | And pray, how far do you think we may now be from that place? |
6357 | And the black mare, can he not have that? |
6357 | And the new horse? |
6357 | And what of Charley? |
6357 | And what was the result? |
6357 | And why not with a red Indian, friend? |
6357 | And your name? |
6357 | And, pray, what dog-- what miserable thieving cur are you, who dare to address me thus? |
6357 | Anon? |
6357 | Any bark knocked off? |
6357 | Anything else? |
6357 | Anything more, Antoine? |
6357 | But are you still thought a poor warrior? |
6357 | But are you sure it wo n''t do you harm to talk? 6357 But do you think it_ really_ is one?" |
6357 | But tell me, Charley, why do you care about Mrs. Grant seeing you? |
6357 | But what has all this to do with Peterkin? |
6357 | By all means-- Ho, Redfeather; are you trying to stop the wind by looking it out of countenance? |
6357 | By- the- by, you''re going over to the missionary''s place to- morrow, are you not? |
6357 | Can it be possible? |
6357 | Could anything on earth break up or sink or melt that? |
6357 | Could he not try the new horse? |
6357 | Could n''t he have the brown pony? |
6357 | Dear me, Harry, what''s wrong? 6357 Dear me, what has happened?" |
6357 | Did Francois get better? |
6357 | Did I ring for you, eh? |
6357 | Did n''t I say so? |
6357 | Did you ever explain to him the prospects that he would have in the situation you propose for him? |
6357 | Did you ever point out the probable end of a life spent in the woods? |
6357 | Did you ever trap a fox, Harry? |
6357 | Did''e not say w''en''e''d be home? |
6357 | Did_ he_ sing of niggers? |
6357 | Do ducks travel in canoes hereabouts? |
6357 | Do with it? 6357 Do you ever think of building a hut in such a spot as this, Jacques, and settling down altogether?" |
6357 | Do you know any of the Indians who are so anxious to vent their spleen on our worthy bourgeois? |
6357 | Do you mean to say that people''s heels really freeze and fall off? |
6357 | Do you refer to the time when he was nearly starved to death, and when poor Hood was shot by the Indian? |
6357 | Do you see_ that_? |
6357 | Do you think he''s not open to persuasion? |
6357 | Do you think much of home, Charley, now that you have left it? |
6357 | Do? 6357 Do?" |
6357 | Do_ what_ for me? |
6357 | Eh, what''s that? 6357 First of all, friend,"continued Harry,"do you belong to the fort here?" |
6357 | Fond as ever of smoking, Louis? |
6357 | Had I not better tell Tom Whyte to saddle the young horse for you? |
6357 | Had we not better make our trap here, then? 6357 Harry, my, dear boy;"cried Mr. Kennedy, seizing his young friend by the hand;"how are you, lad? |
6357 | Have the Indians, then, used any open threats? |
6357 | Have we seen the worst of it? |
6357 | Have you no place in the world to fight but_ here_? 6357 Have you slept well, darling?" |
6357 | Have you told my father that she does? |
6357 | He could n''t have got thirty guns, could he? 6357 Here''s an entry in Louis''s account that I ca n''t make out--30 something or other; what can it have been?" |
6357 | How are the heels now, Hamilton? |
6357 | How do you mean to act, Jacques? |
6357 | How do your feet stand it, eh? 6357 How many traps have you?" |
6357 | How much did yon give him? |
6357 | How shall I keep the canoe''s head, Jacques? |
6357 | How so, girl? |
6357 | How so? |
6357 | How so? |
6357 | How will the snow help us? |
6357 | I say, Jacques, is yon a cloud or a wreath of smoke above the trees in the creek? |
6357 | I say, Jacques,said Charley, pulling up once more,"how do you get on? |
6357 | I should like of all things to be introduced to the bold hunter.--Another cup of tea, Mr. S- Harry, I mean? |
6357 | Indeed it is; but, then, what can you do? |
6357 | Is it not likely that Misconna may have crossed the river already? 6357 Is that it, eh?" |
6357 | Is the man mad? |
6357 | Is the portage a long one? |
6357 | Is the scoundrel caught? |
6357 | Is there a good place at the other end to camp on? |
6357 | Kate, my darling,said Mr. Kennedy, as he finished the last mouthful of tea,"would n''t it be capital to get another letter from Charley?" |
6357 | No, not till the parson comes,interrupted Mr. Kennedy, convulsing his left cheek.--"Hollo, Charley, where are you? |
6357 | Nor suggest to him that the appointment to the office here would only be temporary, and to see how he got on in it? |
6357 | Now is n''t that a bore? |
6357 | Now then, what say you to going farther out on the river, and making a snow trap for white foxes? |
6357 | Now, you bad boy,said Kate,"why_ wo n''t_ you try to rest?" |
6357 | O Charley,she continued,"why_ wo n''t_ you stay?" |
6357 | Oh, and pray for what_ purpose_ have you come here? |
6357 | Please, sir,began Tom, with a slightly disconcerted air,"I''m afeared, sir, that-- um--""Well, Tom, what would you say? |
6357 | Pray, who did you leave to that delightful fate? |
6357 | Say you so? 6357 Shall we get over in time, Louis?" |
6357 | Strange,said his friend;"what_ can_ it be?" |
6357 | Thank you, I''d rather not,said Harry;"and as for Hamilton, I''m convinced that_ his_ mind is made up on the subject.--How go the heels now?" |
6357 | That''s a spirited horse, Kate,said Charley, as they ambled along;"have you had him long?" |
6357 | That''s no reason,replied Charley,"why you should knock out all my front teeth, is it?" |
6357 | The pipe, sir,said Tom, growing still more disconcerted--"says I to cook, says I,''Cook, wot''s been an''done it, d''ye think?'' |
6357 | Then do you think, master, that a man should_ never_ tell a lie, no matter what fix he may be in? |
6357 | Then you know how to_ set_ a trap? |
6357 | Thrusting his hands deep into his breeches pockets, and seating himself on an old sea- chest, he began,--''I say, Wilson, will you do me a favour?'' |
6357 | Tom,said the senior clerk,"do you think we could manage to mount Charley to- morrow?" |
6357 | True; but that being, as you say, the_ natural_ route, do n''t you think it likely he''ll expect that it will be guarded, and avoid it accordingly? |
6357 | Very good,said Harry;"and can you give us the least idea of what they are going to do with my friend Hamilton and me when they get us?" |
6357 | Well, Hamilton,said Harry, throwing off his reverie with a deep sigh,"are you glad to leave York Fort, or sorry?" |
6357 | Well, Peter,whispered Mr. Kennedy, senior, putting his head in at the door( it was Harry''s room in which Charley lay),"how is he now?" |
6357 | Well, but ca n''t you do that here? |
6357 | Well, my boy,said he, seating himself on the bedside and taking his son''s hand,"how goes it now? |
6357 | Well, then, you must understand--"Must I? 6357 What can that be?" |
6357 | What can the Injin mean, I wonder? |
6357 | What did you give him? |
6357 | What do you think of my friend there? |
6357 | What do you think of_ that_, old fellow? 6357 What does?" |
6357 | What prevented him coming with you, as you tell me he intended? |
6357 | What say you to a walk through the woods to North River, Harry? |
6357 | What shall we do, Harry? 6357 What should we do,"inquired the former,"if the plain were five or six miles broad?" |
6357 | What think you now, Louis? |
6357 | What was Redfeather thinking about? |
6357 | What would you advise then? |
6357 | What''s in the wind now? |
6357 | What''s to be done? |
6357 | What''s wrong now, Hammy? |
6357 | What''s yon ahead? |
6357 | What_ can_ it have been? 6357 What_ is_ comfort? |
6357 | Where are your traps set? |
6357 | Where do you come from then, and what''s your name? |
6357 | Where is it? |
6357 | Where''s the brown pony? |
6357 | Where? 6357 Which? |
6357 | Who am I to say did it? |
6357 | Who can it be, I wonder? |
6357 | Who does this belong to? |
6357 | Who? |
6357 | Why did n''t you bring him up without shoes, man, eh? |
6357 | Why not? |
6357 | Why, how came that about? |
6357 | Why, how was that? 6357 Why, that''s another wolf, is n''t it? |
6357 | Why? 6357 Will Mr. Charles speak for me?" |
6357 | Will that do? |
6357 | Will you just look at yonder rock ahead of us, and tell me what you see? |
6357 | Will_ you_ come, Hamilton? |
6357 | Would n''t it be a disinterested piece of kindness if you were to say it was yourself? |
6357 | Would you like to go with us, Charley? |
6357 | Yes; but how are we to catch them? |
6357 | You do n''t mean, surely, to take so long a walk in the dark, do you? 6357 You have never seen anything like that before, I daresay?" |
6357 | You knew a Charley Kennedy in the Saskatchewan, did you? |
6357 | You''re not afraid of a fight, are you, Hamilton? |
6357 | You''ve heerd of Sir John Franklin, I s''pose? |
6357 | ''Dog,''he cried again, while his eyes flashed fiercely, as he grasped me by the arm,''will you wrestle, or are you afraid? |
6357 | ''Why, you stupid, what did you take me for? |
6357 | 30--30--not blankets, eh?" |
6357 | And Wabisca, what came of her? |
6357 | And if I get up, seize a hatchet, level the stump, cut away the root, and spread pine brush over the place, am I to be called lazy for doing so? |
6357 | And who do you think this man Jacques is? |
6357 | Are you aware, Hammy my boy, that the Saskatchewan district is a sort of terrestrial paradise, and Mackenzie River equivalent to Botany Bay?" |
6357 | At last he said slowly--"Think of home? |
6357 | Ay or no, lass: which is''t to be?'' |
6357 | Beginning to lose bark yet?" |
6357 | But is n''t it, now, really a_ very_ hard case?" |
6357 | But now, Kate, tell me, what do you think of father''s determination to have me placed in the office here?" |
6357 | But tell me, Harry, have you spoken to Kate herself?" |
6357 | But tell me, doctor, what do you mean to do with that lump of snow there?" |
6357 | But tell me,''she added with still deeper anxiety,''does the white- feather come alone? |
6357 | But who do you think can be_ en route_ so late?" |
6357 | Can you forgive me, Kate?" |
6357 | Charles?" |
6357 | Charley assisted his friend to rise, and led him slowly back to the house, as he replied,--"Do, my boy? |
6357 | Charley was silent for a few seconds; then heaving a deep sigh, he said,--"Well, I believe you''re right, Kate; but then, what am I to do? |
6357 | Come now, Charley, what think you of it?" |
6357 | Could n''t you tell me to look at the fire without the preliminary piece of advice to_ compose_ myself? |
6357 | Could we not give it one trial more? |
6357 | Did Misconna get her?" |
6357 | Did he give you any hint as to where you might be sent to after reaching Norway House?" |
6357 | Did you ever get it? |
6357 | Did you ever hear of what he did the summer before last with an Indian''s head?" |
6357 | Do n''t lose sight of me for a moment, and if you do by chance, give a shout; d''ye hear?" |
6357 | Do n''t you see that the things are all aboard, and we''ll be ready to start in five minutes, and you sitting there with your neckcloths off?" |
6357 | Do n''t you think it would be more pleasant? |
6357 | Do you feel inclined for a walk?" |
6357 | Do you feel queer, Harry?" |
6357 | Do you think so, Jacques?" |
6357 | Does he approach_ friends_ during the dark hours with a soft step like a fox?'' |
6357 | Does n''t the road take a turn there? |
6357 | Grant, my fine fellow, how are you?" |
6357 | Hang it, where''s my handkerchief?" |
6357 | Has the brave boy''s heart changed into that of a girl?'' |
6357 | Have I not broken in young colts by the score? |
6357 | Have they come yet?" |
6357 | Have you got a tent?" |
6357 | Have you no other?" |
6357 | He has got a will of his own; and if you do not give him his way, I very much fear that he''ll--""What?" |
6357 | Head getting all right again? |
6357 | Home? |
6357 | How are the heels? |
6357 | How could they know better? |
6357 | How far off is it?" |
6357 | How''s that?" |
6357 | I fear that Kate has been talking too much to you.--Is it so, you little chatterbox?" |
6357 | I found papa writing at a small table, and the moment he heard my footstep he jumped up with a fierce frown, and shouted,"Who''s there?" |
6357 | I have only been on him once before.--Would he make a good buffalo- runner, Jacques?" |
6357 | I thank you, indeed, very much; but I-- a--""Do n''t like the desk?" |
6357 | I''ve been waiting for you for months; why did you keep me so long, eh? |
6357 | Is Charley Kennedy before me-- or his ghost?" |
6357 | Is Kate there?" |
6357 | Is he not a wonderful man, to have come through so much in his old age? |
6357 | Is it better to die than to speak falsehood?" |
6357 | Is it not so?" |
6357 | Is n''t there something quite awful in them, Harry?" |
6357 | Is that it?" |
6357 | Is that it?" |
6357 | Is that your desire?" |
6357 | Is the horse too wild to ride?" |
6357 | It is snowing, too, very heavily, and I think you said that North River was five miles off, did you not?" |
6357 | Jacques, my good fellow, is that you?--Redfeather, my friend, how are you?" |
6357 | Must I sit here till it is all consumed?" |
6357 | Now I suppose you are aware that it is necessary to boil an Indian''s head in order to get the flesh clean off the skull?'' |
6357 | Now, wot I want to know is, wot''s the reason why?" |
6357 | Of course you forgot me, and everybody and everything on earth, just now; but have you seen Kate? |
6357 | Oho, Antoine!--By the way, Louis, have you seen Annette lately?" |
6357 | Pray, who placed that piece of snow over the door?" |
6357 | Pretty well stuffed by this time, I should imagine?" |
6357 | Rather sore, eh? |
6357 | Send him off to the woods with gun and blanket, canoe and tent, all complete?" |
6357 | Shall we, Charley?" |
6357 | Surely it is not an evidence of laziness, my endeavouring to render these instruments of torture less tormenting? |
6357 | Tell me, Jacques, is there no way of escape? |
6357 | Thanks.--Do you think you''re up to that, Hammy?" |
6357 | That would not be sticking to truth, Jacques, would it?" |
6357 | That''s pleasant!--What think you, Hammy?" |
6357 | The odd part of it was that Kate, too, was affected in precisely the same way, and both of them exclaimed mentally,"Can it be possible?" |
6357 | W''at''s wrong, sir?" |
6357 | Well, how much will you have?" |
6357 | Were you with them?" |
6357 | What brought you here?" |
6357 | What did you mean by it, eh?'' |
6357 | What did you say_ struck_ you, Harry, my lad?" |
6357 | What have you to say?" |
6357 | What they''ve come for is more than I can tell, but I suppose it''s connected with church affairs.--Now then, Kate, what''s come o''the dinner, Kate? |
6357 | What think you of it?" |
6357 | What was to prevent his being dug up? |
6357 | What''s the use of thinking so long about it, eh? |
6357 | What_ could_ have possessed her to take such a husband? |
6357 | What_ is_ to be done?" |
6357 | When were you reduced to that direful extremity?" |
6357 | Where did you say you left him?" |
6357 | Where is it?'' |
6357 | Where''s Kate, eh? |
6357 | Where''s Kate, eh? |
6357 | Why, what do you mean?" |
6357 | Why, what_ is_ comfort?" |
6357 | Would it not be better to set it up first?" |
6357 | Would you like supper before we go, or shall we have it on our return?" |
6357 | Would you not like me to stay with you?" |
6357 | You do n''t mean to tell me that the way to break him in is to let him run loose and wild whenever and wherever he pleases?" |
6357 | You might write an essay on it now, and call it the extraordinary effects of a fall of snow in latitude so and so, eh? |
6357 | You recollect him, father?" |
6357 | You''ve heard of an Indian called Misconna?" |
6357 | You''ve heard of old Labontà ©, who used to carry one of the winter packets from Red River until within a few years back?" |
6357 | and do n''t I know that the way to fix their flints is to clap on a good strong curb?" |
6357 | asked Charley, somewhat anxiously;"not Mrs. Grant, I hope? |
6357 | ca n''t swim?" |
6357 | cried Harry, as he placed the kettle on the fire--"strange to be hungry after a five miles''walk and a night in the snow? |
6357 | cried Harry,"what''s the row?" |
6357 | cried Mr. Kennedy, turning sharply round and seizing Harry by the collar,"why d''you kick up such a row, eh?" |
6357 | cried the senior clerk, losing all patience;"ca n''t you answer me without so much talk? |
6357 | do n''t you hear a cry, Harry?" |
6357 | do you feel quite strong enough?" |
6357 | eh, blackguards?" |
6357 | eh,"exclaimed the individual thus addressed, returning Harry''s gripe and stare with interest,"is it possible? |
6357 | ejaculated Charley;"did anyone see me, Kate?" |
6357 | exclaimed Kennedy,"and do you mean to argue from that, that I should let Charley run-- and_ help_ him too? |
6357 | exclaimed the former,"have you got the miller''s pony for me?" |
6357 | have you eaten it?" |
6357 | he cried, standing over the crestfallen Indian with flushed face and flashing eyes,"how dare you thus treat the creatures of God?" |
6357 | he exclaimed, suspending his operations for a moment,"what''s up?" |
6357 | he said at length, stepping forward and confronting me,''will you wrestle?'' |
6357 | is n''t it strange?" |
6357 | or thirty knives, or thirty copper kettles?" |
6357 | said Baptiste, between his set teeth, while his eyes flashed angrily, and he stood up before Hugh with clinched fists,"what mean you by that, eh?" |
6357 | shall we send for her?" |
6357 | what cheer?" |
6357 | what do you mean?" |
6357 | what do you mean?" |
6357 | what think ye of that, my boy?" |
6357 | what''s going on yonder?" |
6357 | what''s that? |
6357 | what-- where?" |
6357 | what?" |
6357 | where is it?" |
6357 | where''s Hamilton?" |
6357 | where''s the kettle, Hamilton? |
6357 | where? |
6357 | why do I waste ink on so hopeless a task? |
21712 | Ah, some beads and silks, eh? 21712 All right,"cried Harry, suppressing his feelings with a strong effort;"what next?" |
21712 | An''p''r''aps you''ve heerd tell of his first trip of discovery along the shores of the Polar Sea? |
21712 | An''please, master,put in Jacques,"when do you mean to let us off from this place? |
21712 | An''where has''e been took to? |
21712 | And Misconna? |
21712 | And did you never see him again? |
21712 | And did you not undeceive the greenhorn? |
21712 | And do you intend to do so? |
21712 | And does Jacques know he is here? |
21712 | And does she agree? |
21712 | And how much will that be? |
21712 | And no one else? |
21712 | And pray what is_ that_? |
21712 | And pray, good Redfeather, what did your thoughts tell you? |
21712 | And the black mare, can he not have that? |
21712 | And the new horse? |
21712 | And what of Charley? |
21712 | And what was the result? |
21712 | And why not with a red Indian, friend? |
21712 | And woman too,interrupted Harry.--"Eh, Hamilton, what say you? |
21712 | And your name? |
21712 | And, pray, how far do you think we may now be from that place? |
21712 | And, pray, what dog-- what miserable, thieving cur-- are you, who dare to address me thus? |
21712 | Anon? |
21712 | Any bark knocked off? |
21712 | Anything else? |
21712 | Anything more, Antoine? |
21712 | But are you still thought a poor warrior? |
21712 | But are you sure it wo n''t do you harm to talk? 21712 But do you think it_ really_ is one?" |
21712 | But tell me, Charley, why do you care about Mrs Grant seeing you? |
21712 | But what has all this to do with Peterkin? |
21712 | By- the- bye, you''re going over to the missionary''s place to- morrow, are you not? |
21712 | Can it be possible? |
21712 | Could anything on earth break up or sink or melt that? |
21712 | Could he not try the new horse? |
21712 | Could n''t he have the brown pony? |
21712 | Dear me, Harry, what''s wrong? 21712 Dear me, what has happened?" |
21712 | Did Francois get better? |
21712 | Did I ring for you, eh? |
21712 | Did he sing of niggers? |
21712 | Did n''t I say so? |
21712 | Did you ever explain to him the prospects that he would have in the situation you propose for him? |
21712 | Did you ever point out the probable end of a life spent in the woods? |
21712 | Did you ever trap a fox, Harry? |
21712 | Did''e not say w''en''e''d be''ome? |
21712 | Do ducks travel in canoes hereabouts? |
21712 | Do with it? 21712 Do you ever think of building a hut in such a spot as this, Jacques, and settling down altogether?" |
21712 | Do you know any of the Indians who are so anxious to vent their spleen on our worthy bourgeois? |
21712 | Do you mean to say that people''s heels really freeze and fall off? |
21712 | Do you refer to the time when he was nearly starved to death, and when poor Hood was shot by the Indian? |
21712 | Do you see_ that_? |
21712 | Do you think he''s not open to persuasion? |
21712 | Do you think much of home, Charley, now that you have left it? |
21712 | Do? 21712 Do?" |
21712 | Do_ what_ for me? |
21712 | Done? 21712 Eh, what''s that? |
21712 | First of all, friend,continued Harry,"do you belong to the fort here?" |
21712 | Fond as ever of smoking, Louis? |
21712 | Had I not better tell Tom Whyte to saddle the young horse for you? |
21712 | Had we not better make our trap here, then? 21712 Have the Indians, then, used any open threats?" |
21712 | Have we seen the worst of it? |
21712 | Have you no place in the world to fight but_ here_--eh, blackguards? |
21712 | Have you slept well, darling? |
21712 | Have you told my father that she does? |
21712 | He could n''t have got thirty guns, could he? 21712 Here''s an entry in Louis''s account that I ca n''t make out--30 something or other; what can it have been?" |
21712 | How are the heels now, Hamilton? |
21712 | How do you mean to act, Jacques? |
21712 | How do your feet stand it, eh? 21712 How many traps have you?" |
21712 | How much did you give him? |
21712 | How shall I keep the canoe''s head, Jacques? |
21712 | How so, girl? |
21712 | How so? |
21712 | How so? |
21712 | How will the snow help us? |
21712 | I say, Jacques, is yon a cloud or a wreath of smoke above the trees in the creek? |
21712 | I say, Jacques,said Charley, pulling up once more,"how do you get on? |
21712 | I should like of all things to be introduced to the bold hunter.--Another cup of tea, Mr S-- Harry, I mean? |
21712 | Indeed it is; but then, what can you do? |
21712 | Is it not likely that Misconna may have crossed the river already? 21712 Is that it, eh?" |
21712 | Is the man mad? |
21712 | Is the portage a long one? |
21712 | Is there a good place at the other end to camp on? |
21712 | Kate, my darling,said Mr Kennedy, as he finished the last mouthful of tea,"would n''t it be capital to get another letter from Charley?" |
21712 | No, never; what was it? |
21712 | No, not till the parson comes,interrupted Mr Kennedy, convulsing his left cheek.--"Hollo, Charley, where are you? |
21712 | Nor suggest to him that the appointment to the office here would only be temporary, and to see how he got on in it? |
21712 | Now, is n''t that a bore? |
21712 | Now, then, what say you to going farther out on the river, and making a snow trap for white foxes? |
21712 | Now, you bad boy,said Kate,"why_ wo n''t_ you try to rest?" |
21712 | O Charley,she continued,"why_ wo n''t_ you stay?" |
21712 | Please, sir,began Tom, with a slightly disconcerted air,"I''m afeard, sir, that-- um--""Well, Tom, what would you say? |
21712 | Pray, who did you leave to that delightful fate? |
21712 | Say you so? 21712 Shall we get over in time, Louis?" |
21712 | Strange,said his friend;"what_ can_ it be?" |
21712 | Thank you, I''d rather not,said Harry;"and as for Hamilton, I''m convinced that_ his_ mind is made up on the subject.--How go the heels now?" |
21712 | That''s a spirited horse, Kate,said Charley, as they ambled along;"have you had him long?" |
21712 | That''s no reason,replied Charley,"why you should knock out all my front teeth, is it?" |
21712 | The pipe, sir,said Tom, growing still more disconcerted--"says I to cook, says I,` Cook, wot''s been an''done it, d''ye think?'' |
21712 | Then do you think, master, that a man should_ never_ tell a lie, no matter what fix he may be in? |
21712 | Then you know how to_ set_ a trap? |
21712 | Thrusting his hands deep into his breeches pockets and seating himself on an old sea- chest, he began,--` I say, Wilson, will you do me a favour?'' |
21712 | Tom,said the senior clerk,"do you think we could manage to mount Charley to- morrow?" |
21712 | Very good,said Harry;"and can you give us the least idea of what they are going to do with my friend Hamilton and me when they get us?" |
21712 | Well, Hamilton,said Harry, throwing off his reverie with a deep sigh,"are you glad to leave York Fort, or sorry?" |
21712 | Well, Peter,whispered Mr Kennedy, senior, putting his head in at the door( it was Harry''s room in which Charley lay),"how is he now?" |
21712 | Well, my boy,said he, seating himself on the bedside and taking his son''s hand,"how goes it now? |
21712 | Well, then, you must understand--"Must I? 21712 What can that be?" |
21712 | What can the Injin mean, I wonder? |
21712 | What did you give him? |
21712 | What do you think of my friend there? |
21712 | What do you think of_ that_, old fellow? 21712 What does?" |
21712 | What prevented him coming with you, as you tell me he intended? |
21712 | What say you to a walk through the woods to North River, Harry? |
21712 | What shall we do, Harry? 21712 What should we do,"inquired the former,"if the plain were five or six miles broad?" |
21712 | What think you now, Louis? |
21712 | What was Redfeather thinking about? |
21712 | What would you advise, then? |
21712 | What''s in the wind now? |
21712 | What''s to be done? |
21712 | What''s wrong now, Hammy? |
21712 | What''s yon ahead? |
21712 | What_ can_ it have been? 21712 What_ is_ comfort? |
21712 | Where are your traps set? |
21712 | Where do you come from, then, and what''s your name? |
21712 | Where is it? |
21712 | Where''s the brown pony? |
21712 | Where? 21712 Which? |
21712 | Who am I to say did it? |
21712 | Who can it be, I wonder? |
21712 | Who does this belong to? |
21712 | Who? |
21712 | Why did n''t you bring him up without shoes, man, eh? |
21712 | Why not? |
21712 | Why, how came that about? |
21712 | Why, how was that? 21712 Why, that''s another wolf, is n''t it? |
21712 | Why? 21712 Will Mr Charles speak for me?" |
21712 | Will that do? |
21712 | Will_ you_ come, Hamilton? |
21712 | Would n''t it be a disinterested piece of kindness if you were to say it was yourself? |
21712 | Would you like to go with us, Charley? |
21712 | Yes; but how are we to catch them? |
21712 | You do n''t mean, surely, to take so long a walk in the dark, do you? 21712 You have never seen anything like that before, I dare say?" |
21712 | You have something to tell, Redfeather,said Jacques, in a subdued tone, after regarding him a few seconds;"is the scoundrel caught?" |
21712 | You knew a Charley Kennedy in the Saskatchewan, did you? |
21712 | You''re not afraid of a fight, are you, Hamilton? |
21712 | You''ve heerd of Sir John Franklin, I s''pose? |
21712 | ` And what is that?'' 21712 ` Baking again, Anderson?'' |
21712 | ` Did n''t I tell you, you young blackguard, that the grouse- pie was to be kept for Sunday? 21712 ` Do Knisteneux hunt at night, prowling in the bed of a stream?'' |
21712 | ` Does the young wrestler want_ another_ wife?'' 21712 ` Has the light- hair got a medicine- bag, or does she speak with spirits, that she has found me so easily?'' |
21712 | ` Well, sir,''said he,` do you wish to speak to me?'' 21712 30-- 30--not blankets, eh? |
21712 | And Wabisca, what came of her? |
21712 | And if I get up, seize a hatchet, level the stump, cut away the root, and spread pine brush over the place, am I to be called lazy for doing so? |
21712 | And who do you think this man Jacques is? |
21712 | Are you aware, Hammy, my boy, that the Saskatchewan district is a sort of terrestrial paradise, and Mackenzie River equivalent to Botany Bay?" |
21712 | At last he said slowly--"Think of home? |
21712 | Ay or no, lass; which is''t to be?'' |
21712 | Beginning to lose bark yet?" |
21712 | But is n''t it, now, really a_ very_ hard case?" |
21712 | But now, Kate, tell me, what do you think of father''s determination to have me placed in the office here?" |
21712 | But tell me, Harry, have you spoken to Kate herself?" |
21712 | But tell me, doctor, what do you mean to do with that lump of snow there?" |
21712 | But tell me,''she added, with still deeper anxiety,` does the white- feather come alone? |
21712 | But who do you think can be_ en route_ so late?" |
21712 | But you spoke of eating your shoes, Jacques; when were you reduced to that direful extremity?" |
21712 | Can you forgive me, Kate?" |
21712 | Charley assisted his friend to rise, and led him slowly back to the house, as he replied--"Do, my boy? |
21712 | Charley was silent for a few seconds; then heaving a deep sigh, he said,--"Well, I believe you''re right, Kate; but then, what am I to do? |
21712 | Come now, Charley, what think you of it?" |
21712 | Could we not give it one trial more? |
21712 | Did Misconna get her?" |
21712 | Did he give you any hint as to where you might be sent to after reaching Norway House?" |
21712 | Did you ever get it? |
21712 | Did you ever hear of what he did the summer before last with an Indian''s head?" |
21712 | Did you ever try to look pale and frightened, Mr Charles?" |
21712 | Do n''t lose sight of me for a moment, and if you do by chance, give a shout; d''ye hear?" |
21712 | Do n''t you see that the things are all aboard, and we''ll be ready to start in five minutes, and you sitting there with your neckcloths off?" |
21712 | Do n''t you think it would be more pleasant? |
21712 | Do you feel inclined for a walk?" |
21712 | Do you feel queer, Harry?" |
21712 | Do you think so, Jacques?" |
21712 | Does he approach_ friends_ during the dark hours with a soft step like a fox?'' |
21712 | Does n''t the road take a turn there? |
21712 | Grant, my fine fellow, how are you?" |
21712 | Hang it, where''s my handkerchief?" |
21712 | Has the brave boy''s heart changed into that of a girl?'' |
21712 | Have I not broken in young colts by the score? |
21712 | Have they come yet?" |
21712 | Have you got a tent?" |
21712 | Have you no other?" |
21712 | He has got a will of his own; and if you do not give him his way, I very much fear that he''ll--""What?" |
21712 | Head getting all right again? |
21712 | Home? |
21712 | How are the heels? |
21712 | How far off is it?" |
21712 | How''s that?" |
21712 | I fear that Kate has been talking too much to you.--Is it so, you little chatterbox?" |
21712 | I found papa writing at a small table, and the moment he heard my footstep he jumped up with a fierce frown and shouted,"Who''s there?" |
21712 | I have only been on him once before.--Would he make a good buffalo- runner, Jacques?" |
21712 | I thank you, indeed, very much; but I-- a--""Do n''t like the desk?" |
21712 | I''ve been waiting for you for months; why did you keep me so long, eh? |
21712 | Is Charley Kennedy before me-- or his ghost?" |
21712 | Is Kate there?" |
21712 | Is he not a wonderful man, to have come through so much in his old age? |
21712 | Is it better to die than to speak falsehood?" |
21712 | Is it not so?" |
21712 | Is n''t there something quite awful in them, Harry?" |
21712 | Is that it?" |
21712 | Is that it?" |
21712 | Is that your desire?" |
21712 | Is the horse too wild to ride?" |
21712 | It is snowing, too, very heavily, and I think you said that North River was five miles off, did you not?" |
21712 | Jacques, my good fellow, is that you?--Redfeather, my friend, how are you?" |
21712 | Must I sit here till it is all consumed?" |
21712 | Now I suppose you are aware that it is necessary to boil an Indian''s head in order to get the flesh clean off the skull?'' |
21712 | Now, wot I want to know is, wot''s the reason why?" |
21712 | Of course you forgot me, and everybody and everything on earth, just now; but have you seen Kate? |
21712 | Oho, Antoine!--By the way, Louis, have you seen Annette lately?" |
21712 | Pray, who placed that piece of snow over the door?" |
21712 | Pretty well stuffed by this time, I should imagine?" |
21712 | Rather sore, eh? |
21712 | Send him off to the woods with gun and blanket, canoe and tent, all complete?" |
21712 | Shall we, Charley?" |
21712 | Surely it is not an evidence of laziness my endeavouring to render these instruments of torture less tormenting? |
21712 | Tell me, Jacques, is there no way of escape? |
21712 | Thanks.--Do you think you''re up to that, Hammy?" |
21712 | That would not be sticking to truth, Jacques, would it?" |
21712 | That''s pleasant!--What think you, Hammy?" |
21712 | The odd part of it was that Kate, too, was affected in precisely the same way, and both of them exclaimed mentally,"Can it be possible?" |
21712 | W''at''s wrong, sir?" |
21712 | Well, how much will you have?" |
21712 | Were you with them?" |
21712 | What brought you here?" |
21712 | What did you mean by it, eh?'' |
21712 | What did you say_ struck_ you, Harry, my lad?" |
21712 | What have you to say?" |
21712 | What they''ve come for is more than I can tell, but I suppose it''s connected with church affairs.--Now then, Kate, what''s come o''the dinner, Kate? |
21712 | What think you of it?" |
21712 | What was to prevent his being dug up? |
21712 | What''s the use of thinking so long about it, eh? |
21712 | What_ is_ to be done?" |
21712 | Where did you say you left him?" |
21712 | Where is it?'' |
21712 | Where''s Kate, eh? |
21712 | Where''s Kate, eh? |
21712 | Who ever heard of a man being supported by his old father?" |
21712 | Why, what do you mean?" |
21712 | Why, what_ is_ comfort?" |
21712 | Would it not be better to set it up first?" |
21712 | Would you like supper before we go, or shall we have it on our return?" |
21712 | Would you not like me to stay with you?" |
21712 | You do n''t mean to tell me that the way to break him in is to let him run loose and wild whenever and wherever he pleases?" |
21712 | You might write an essay on it now, and call it the extraordinary effects of a fall of snow in latitude so and so, eh? |
21712 | You recollect him, father?" |
21712 | You tell me that you have met with my friend Redfeather?" |
21712 | You''ve heard of an Indian called Misconna?" |
21712 | You''ve heard of old Labonte, who used to carry one of the winter packets from Red River until within a few years back?" |
21712 | ` Why, you stupid, what did you take me for? |
21712 | and do n''t I know that the way to fix their flints is to clap on a good strong curb?" |
21712 | and pray for what_ purpose_ have you come here?" |
21712 | are you trying to stop the wind by looking it out of countenance?" |
21712 | asked Charley, somewhat anxiously;"not Mrs Grant, I hope? |
21712 | ca n''t swim?" |
21712 | cried Harry, as he placed the kettle on the fire--"strange to be hungry after a five miles''walk and a night in the snow? |
21712 | cried Harry,"what''s the row?" |
21712 | cried Mr Kennedy, seizing his young friend by the hand;"how are you, lad? |
21712 | cried Mr Kennedy, turning sharply round and seizing Harry by the collar,"why d''you kick up such a row, eh?" |
21712 | cried the senior clerk, losing all patience;"ca n''t you answer me without so much talk? |
21712 | do n''t you hear a cry, Harry?" |
21712 | do you feel quite strong enough?" |
21712 | eh,"exclaimed the individual thus addressed, returning Harry''s gripe and stare with interest,"is it possible? |
21712 | ejaculated Charley;"did any one see me, Kate?" |
21712 | exclaimed Kennedy,"and do you mean to argue from that, that I should let Charley run-- and_ help_ him too? |
21712 | exclaimed the former,"have you got the miller''s pony for me?" |
21712 | have you eaten it?" |
21712 | have you not learned that yet?" |
21712 | he cried again, while his eyes flashed fiercely, and he grasped me by the arm,` will you wrestle, or are you afraid? |
21712 | he cried, standing over the crestfallen Indian with flushed face and flashing eyes,"how dare you thus treat the creatures of God?" |
21712 | he exclaimed, suspending his operations for a moment,"what''s up?" |
21712 | he said at length, stepping forward and confronting me,` will you wrestle?'' |
21712 | how could they know better? |
21712 | is n''t it strange?" |
21712 | or thirty knives, or thirty copper kettles?" |
21712 | said Baptiste, between his set teeth, while his eyes flashed angrily, and he stood up before Hugh with clinched fists,"what mean you by that, eh?" |
21712 | said Mactavish, pointing sarcastically to an entry in the previous account--"5_ yards of superfine Annette_? |
21712 | shall we send for her?" |
21712 | what cheer?" |
21712 | what do you mean?" |
21712 | what do you mean?" |
21712 | what think ye of that, my boy?" |
21712 | what''s going on yonder?" |
21712 | what''s that? |
21712 | what-- where?" |
21712 | what?" |
21712 | where is it?" |
21712 | where''s Hamilton?" |
21712 | where''s the kettle, Hamilton? |
21712 | where? |
21712 | why do I waste ink on so hopeless a task? |
30925 | A chance for my life? |
30925 | Accomplish nothing, eh, young McTavish? 30925 And I was about to kill you, and I have already tried once, and my mother has tried, and Tom-- oh, why have n''t I known this before? |
30925 | And Miss Fitzpatrick? 30925 And this-- this son you speak of, is--?" |
30925 | And what was this duty, pray? |
30925 | And you leave me, her father, out of it? 30925 And you, Braithwaite?" |
30925 | And, if you do,he asked,"how about-- Jean?" |
30925 | Are you a man or a stick,she complained,"that you let the blood of your brother go unavenged? |
30925 | Are you really glad, princess? |
30925 | But I ca n''t resist him, and have my whole family dragged through the mud, can I? |
30925 | But before he came to York factory? 30925 But how did you know it?" |
30925 | But why did n''t he come and tell me? |
30925 | But why do you, of all people, come with this message? |
30925 | But will you kindly explain to me why you broke out of Fort Severn? 30925 But, Peter, did you ever hear anything about his relations with the Indians?" |
30925 | Ca n''t you see it''s Miss Fitzpatrick, and that she wants to know about her father? 30925 Ca n''t you see that your superior, the factor at Fort Severn, hates you bitterly? |
30925 | Ca n''t you wait to see my father until later? 30925 Can anything else come to me?" |
30925 | Can we hold out a week longer? |
30925 | Can you tell me where Charley Seguis is? |
30925 | Could he give any motive for the deed? |
30925 | Did Burns Riley write and sign that? |
30925 | Did he leave any message for me? |
30925 | Did he tell you so? |
30925 | Did n''t I hear somebody call you McTavish? |
30925 | Did n''t you give Tom an awful thrashing a little while back? |
30925 | Did you come for that purpose especially? |
30925 | Did you ever see a face with such glory in it all your life? 30925 Did you get a chance to look over those furs? |
30925 | Did you kill Cree Johnny? |
30925 | Do n''t you suppose, captain, that I''ve known you were on my trail for days? 30925 Do you believe,"Fitzpatrick asked the hunter,"that a shot from the tree where McTavish was could have reached and killed Indian Tom? |
30925 | Do you demand to know? 30925 Do you expect me to leave this camp when the traders are expected, and go on some wild- goose chase out of personal revenge? |
30925 | Do you know why I came to see you today? |
30925 | Do you mean to stand there and say that you demand that I tell you something? |
30925 | Do you think it is good talk, and that the old woman did the trick? 30925 Do you, really?" |
30925 | Does he want to drown? |
30925 | Donald, what about me? |
30925 | Evil reports about me? |
30925 | Father,began the girl, coming straight to the point,"do you know an old Ojibway squaw by the name of Maria?" |
30925 | For heaven''s sake, Cap, let me wing Seguis this time, wo n''t you? |
30925 | Going to set out a new line of traps then, was he? |
30925 | H- m, I see,he remarked quietly,"and you bring the answer?" |
30925 | Has n''t he told you? |
30925 | Has she the certificate? |
30925 | Have another mouth to feed all winter, while the owner of it stays idle? 30925 Have you a pencil with you?" |
30925 | Have you been drinking again? |
30925 | Have you that paper with you? |
30925 | Here, you in the corner, get up, and let''s see who you are? |
30925 | How about myself, the girl''s father, the one who, most of all, should give up everything to such a search? 30925 How can I hand it to you, if I have to keep this distance?" |
30925 | How can you try me on such a charge when you are here avowedly at war? 30925 How did he know?" |
30925 | How do you know they have disappeared from my district? |
30925 | How do you know this? |
30925 | How is the situation down there now? |
30925 | How long were you with my father? |
30925 | How many people are there? |
30925 | How so? 30925 How soon will this travesty take place?" |
30925 | How will she be ruined? |
30925 | How''s this? |
30925 | How? 30925 I am afraid-- I must tell you-- Miss Jean-- Oh, what can I say?" |
30925 | I expect there''ll be action pretty soon, wo n''t there? |
30925 | I mean-- I know you''ll be ashamed of me, I mean-- couldn''t we, to- night-- Mr. Gates is in camp, and he will--"Marry us? |
30925 | I suppose you know that half- breed, Charley Seguis, in your district? 30925 I''ll marry Jean this afternoon, providing she will have me?" |
30925 | If it were n''t for you, where would the McTavishes be? 30925 If you do n''t know, who does?" |
30925 | In heaven''s name, what''s the matter? 30925 In reference to this Charley Seguis, whom I failed to bring in?" |
30925 | Is he dead now? |
30925 | Is that final? |
30925 | Is the Reverend Mr. Gates in the camp? |
30925 | Is the factor really sick this time? |
30925 | Jean,he said harshly,"what does this mean? |
30925 | Just what do you mean by that, my friend? |
30925 | Just where were you when you heard the shot, as you claim? |
30925 | Let me have my pencil and note- book, will you? 30925 Let me talk a moment with my men, will you?" |
30925 | Life and death? |
30925 | Look here, McTavish, why do n''t you make your get- away now? |
30925 | Look here, boys, you''re not going to try and put that Indian''s death on me, are you? |
30925 | Maria who? 30925 Master, master, what is it?" |
30925 | May I see it? |
30925 | No? 30925 Not the lost one, Mac?" |
30925 | Now, Captain McTavish, do you admit having had a personal encounter with this Indian not long since? 30925 Now, Captain McTavish,"the factor said,"will you please state what took you to the edge of the camp last night during a storm of such fierceness?" |
30925 | Now, tell me why you want this letter back? |
30925 | Of course, Dr. Craven from the fort is there? |
30925 | Oh, by the way, do you wish to see that woman? 30925 Oh, dear,"she sighed,"of course that will have to be faced, wo n''t it? |
30925 | Oh, what is it, Donald? 30925 Oh, yes, who''s got the fever? |
30925 | Oh,she gasped breathlessly,"I suppose you think I''m awful, do n''t you, Captain?" |
30925 | Or what? |
30925 | Out in the woods? 30925 Perhaps, you remember writing a letter that night in the cabin? |
30925 | Seguis,said the girl, when he prepared to go,"what is your motive in doing this? |
30925 | Shall we rest now, Captain? |
30925 | Shut up, ca n''t you, Braithwaite? |
30925 | Son of the commissioner, are you? |
30925 | Then you-- you, Captain McTavish, you are my half- brother? |
30925 | Then, I am the rightful heir of the commissioner? |
30925 | Then, I have failed in my duty? |
30925 | Then, am I under the surveillance of your spying Indians? |
30925 | Then, how can you say it is not your affair when the Company is losing twenty thousand pounds a year from your district? |
30925 | Then, you go willingly? 30925 To whom do you refer?" |
30925 | Tom,he said,"where are the hunting- grounds to which you are going? |
30925 | Warn me? 30925 Was he an Indian?" |
30925 | Was he ever fond of a chiefs daughter? 30925 Was that really your reason?" |
30925 | Was there anyone with him, or did he come alone? |
30925 | Well, McTavish, how the deuce do I see you here? 30925 Well, princess, that changes matters does n''t it? |
30925 | Well, what do you mean then? |
30925 | Well, what do you want? |
30925 | Well, who would n''t be glad that I am going to marry my hero? |
30925 | Well,Donald exclaimed impatiently, as the other paused,"what''s so terrible about that? |
30925 | Well,he snarled to the others,"what brings him here now?" |
30925 | Wh-- who was he? |
30925 | What I want to know is, what steps will you take to restore the furs that have disappeared from your district? |
30925 | What are these fellows free trading for, anyhow? 30925 What are you doing up this way, and who are the boys with you?" |
30925 | What are you going to do? 30925 What are you telling me, you devil?" |
30925 | What are your next orders for me? |
30925 | What can be happiness for me but the having of you always? 30925 What can that old hag know about me? |
30925 | What cause have I ever given for you to believe that I was anything but loyal to the Company? |
30925 | What direction did he take? |
30925 | What do you intend to do? |
30925 | What do you mean by that? |
30925 | What do you mean by that? |
30925 | What do you mean by''my own flesh and blood?'' 30925 What do you mean? |
30925 | What do you mean? 30925 What do you mean?" |
30925 | What do you mean? |
30925 | What do you mean? |
30925 | What do you see, Peter? |
30925 | What do you want to say to me about myself? |
30925 | What do you want? |
30925 | What do you want? |
30925 | What do you want? |
30925 | What does this mean? |
30925 | What for? |
30925 | What has changed your mind so suddenly? |
30925 | What have I done to deserve this punishment? |
30925 | What have you got against me? 30925 What is it?" |
30925 | What is it? |
30925 | What is it? |
30925 | What is that? |
30925 | What is the matter with him? |
30925 | What is to become of me, father? |
30925 | What made it die? |
30925 | What proof have you? 30925 What proof?" |
30925 | What time is it, boys? |
30925 | What time is it, boys? |
30925 | What was going on in this place when I came in? |
30925 | What was that clew you had in regard to Jean Fitzpatrick? |
30925 | What was the subject of her conversation? |
30925 | What''s that? 30925 What''s the matter there, boys?" |
30925 | What''s the matter with you, you demon? |
30925 | What, do n''t you recognize me? |
30925 | What? |
30925 | When can you start? |
30925 | When did he get her? |
30925 | When did you first learn of this scandal concerning me, Fitzpatrick? |
30925 | When do I go? |
30925 | When do you wish to leave? 30925 When was he born?" |
30925 | When will these Indians learn that lesson? |
30925 | Where did they go? |
30925 | Where is that certificate? |
30925 | Where is that statement? |
30925 | Where is the factor''s daughter? |
30925 | Where is the man you went out to get, McTavish? |
30925 | Where is-- Captain McTavish? |
30925 | Who are you? |
30925 | Who carried them to you? |
30925 | Who did you say had fever? |
30925 | Who from? |
30925 | Who is it? |
30925 | Who is that? |
30925 | Who told me? 30925 Who was this Riley, father?" |
30925 | Who''s this man, Maria? |
30925 | Who? |
30925 | Whom do you mean? |
30925 | Why did n''t they say as much when the search was being made? 30925 Why did n''t you tell me? |
30925 | Why not keep him with us here a prisoner? |
30925 | Why not, old raven? |
30925 | Why should I attack you? |
30925 | Why should I go? 30925 Why should I? |
30925 | Why should you care? |
30925 | Why was n''t I told of this? |
30925 | Why? 30925 Why?" |
30925 | Why? |
30925 | Why? |
30925 | Why? |
30925 | Why? |
30925 | Why? |
30925 | Will the mounted police get here before--? |
30925 | Will you give an oath never to reveal what you have seen and heard here? |
30925 | Will you kindly explain your assertion, sir? |
30925 | Will you tell Miss Jean that I''m here? |
30925 | Would you murder your own flesh and blood? 30925 Yes, yes,"cried the commissioner feverishly,"but about the certificate? |
30925 | Yes,agreed the other suavely;"but who is in charge of Fort Dickey?" |
30925 | You are old enough to think for yourself-- twenty- four, are n''t you? |
30925 | You promise you''ll help him-- my son? 30925 You refuse, eh?" |
30925 | You talked with her? |
30925 | You will accept? |
30925 | You will pardon me? |
30925 | You''ll help him, you say, if I can give the proof that I was McTavish''s wife? |
30925 | You''re a Hudson Bay man, then? |
30925 | You''ve seen that pile of furs over there, have n''t you? |
30925 | Your brother? 30925 ... What was it, this buoyancy of soul? 30925 A strong arm, a well- directed blow--"But, my good brother, you do not counsel murder in cold blood? |
30925 | After your years with the Company, do you think you''ve achieved the position you deserve? |
30925 | Am I nothing to you? |
30925 | And then, aloud:"Why is she coming to see me?" |
30925 | And whither? |
30925 | And why would he not? |
30925 | And why? |
30925 | And yet, what had he, Donald himself, done? |
30925 | And, perhaps, you''ll be shot, you say? |
30925 | And, yet if she felt that Seguis must be recognized, what would keep her from doing incalculable harm? |
30925 | Are you going crazy, McTavish?" |
30925 | Are you ready to talk surrender yet? |
30925 | Because McTavish loved Jean? |
30925 | But dis time? |
30925 | But how to accomplish this? |
30925 | But how to get it, even should he want it? |
30925 | But now,"he added drearily,"what is there for me? |
30925 | But of what good were arguments? |
30925 | But then what? |
30925 | But what matter? |
30925 | But what was he doing here? |
30925 | But what was that? |
30925 | But when do you suppose these Frenchies will ever connect with you? |
30925 | But who knows? |
30925 | But why do you imagine I would be so glad if the captain was disposed of? |
30925 | But, by the way, Timmins, where''s the factor now? |
30925 | But, in the meantime, McTavish had these questions to answer: Where had the men gone? |
30925 | But, tell me, what led you into any such relation? |
30925 | By the way, any one with him?" |
30925 | CHAPTER III A MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE"What do you know about this murder?" |
30925 | Ca n''t you see my position? |
30925 | Ca n''t you see that Fitzpatrick is going to get me, even if he has to do it with his own hands? |
30925 | Can you give me up this way?" |
30925 | Could he hold out? |
30925 | Could it be that the factor had ignored his directions? |
30925 | Did I leave the Company''s business to take care of itself?" |
30925 | Did he ever mar--?" |
30925 | Did he go with the boys to cut off the Frenchmen? |
30925 | Did it portend anything? |
30925 | Did n''t my father marry old Maria at one time? |
30925 | Do I not know? |
30925 | Do n''t we treat them right?" |
30925 | Do n''t you see I ca n''t live without you? |
30925 | Do you disobey me?" |
30925 | Do you know anything of his life then? |
30925 | Do you realize that you are damning yourself forever in my sight by your words and your attitude?" |
30925 | Do you suppose I care whether my father will allow us to marry or not? |
30925 | Do you think I am a murderer at heart? |
30925 | Does n''t the fool know that''s thin ice?" |
30925 | Even in regard to our marriage?" |
30925 | Going to travel all night? |
30925 | Got anything to eat?" |
30925 | Had he guessed right, after all? |
30925 | Had he no rights? |
30925 | Had her father done his worst, and told her? |
30925 | Had things happened as he hoped? |
30925 | Have I not seen it work? |
30925 | Have I taken advantage of my position as the chief commissioner''s son?" |
30925 | Have n''t you the desire to live life to its greatest fulfilment? |
30925 | He has n''t waited all these years for his revenge to let it slide through his hands that easily, has he, do you suppose? |
30925 | He never spoke again, did he? |
30925 | He seized the factor by his wounded shoulder, and shook savagely, growling between his teeth:"You wo n''t, eh, you wo n''t tell me? |
30925 | How could he find-- anything-- ever? |
30925 | How did you find it out? |
30925 | How had he got here? |
30925 | How had it got here? |
30925 | How have I failed in my duty? |
30925 | How make progress except in fatal circles? |
30925 | How many? |
30925 | How much more so, if that man were narrow, choleric, and filled with a blind sense of loyalty and service? |
30925 | How should he tell directions? |
30925 | How? |
30925 | I ask you, for the last time: Will you give up all hope or thought of ever marrying Jean? |
30925 | I give you my word, and that''s still good, is n''t it? |
30925 | I suppose Seguis will take possession here now?" |
30925 | I wonder if I could bribe them off?" |
30925 | I wonder it any of the boys were out in the woods last night?" |
30925 | I wonder what is the current price of house- furniture?" |
30925 | I wonder where that man, McTavish, is? |
30925 | I-- I--""What do you mean, dearest?" |
30925 | In spite of your attitude, I''ll give you another chance for your life... Will you come into the brotherhood as its leader?" |
30925 | Is he a bad one?" |
30925 | Is he back, too?" |
30925 | Is it so hard to remember?" |
30925 | Is there anything definite against Donald McTavish? |
30925 | It was really kind of you, but have you-- er-- that is, thought of yourself, and what people might say when it becomes known?" |
30925 | Now he must have the other pipe, despite what Peter Rainy had hinted, and who could get it but Laura Fitzpatrick? |
30925 | Now what about the factor? |
30925 | Now, what do you want?" |
30925 | Oh, ca n''t you think of me? |
30925 | On one of these occasions McTavish asked:"Who is this Maria?" |
30925 | Or would there be something added, a flicker of eternal fear in the wide, blue eyes, or the stamp of hell across the fair brow? |
30925 | Shall I get it?" |
30925 | Since she sent it, why had it not been official from her father? |
30925 | So, the Sturgeon Lake trouble has come to that point, has it? |
30925 | Surely, it was too early for the--"I wonder, do they keep their grub in this shack?" |
30925 | Tell me, Seguis, would you do that?" |
30925 | The girl colored slightly, and asked:"Is there no way to make a partition?" |
30925 | The girl mastered herself, and asked in a cold, even voice:"Will you tell me this? |
30925 | The man who sits in the commissioner''s chair to- day--""Not McTavish,_ the_ McTavish?" |
30925 | Then, she said suddenly:"So, you''re the one he is in love with?" |
30925 | They''ll flout me, eh? |
30925 | They''ll flout the Company, will they? |
30925 | Was he to be the helpless manikin worked by every string of evil circumstance and voice of ill? |
30925 | Was the woman crazy, he wondered, that she should wander aimlessly out into a death- dealing storm? |
30925 | We''re afraid to move him, and--""Wh-- what''s that?" |
30925 | Well, then, how can you expect to rise in the Company, when he''s your enemy?" |
30925 | Were they approaching? |
30925 | What I want to know, Captain McTavish, is, what can you do about it?" |
30925 | What McTavish yet had been the fool of a narrow- minded, disgruntled superior, and showed it by losing his temper? |
30925 | What about that?" |
30925 | What about?" |
30925 | What are you going to do?" |
30925 | What are you talking about, anyway, old woman? |
30925 | What could he do? |
30925 | What did she know? |
30925 | What difference does it make to you?" |
30925 | What do I mean? |
30925 | What do you know about him? |
30925 | What else have you to say to me?" |
30925 | What good for you to go away West, eh? |
30925 | What has happened? |
30925 | What have I done? |
30925 | What have I done? |
30925 | What lies has anyone been telling you?" |
30925 | What should he do? |
30925 | What should he do? |
30925 | What was he doing here, this intelligent half- breed? |
30925 | What was in the wind, anyhow? |
30925 | What was it he had heard? |
30925 | What was it, this thing that was the prized property of a glittering- eyed Indian hag? |
30925 | What was that old Indian saying? |
30925 | What was that? |
30925 | What were you doing out in the woods in a storm like that, McTavish?" |
30925 | What were you hanging around Fort Severn for all last summer, without a look for the Indian girls? |
30925 | What''s the landmark by the camp?" |
30925 | What''s the matter with you? |
30925 | What''s this about Miss Jean?" |
30925 | What''s this?" |
30925 | What''s your object in this? |
30925 | What, then, was the matter? |
30925 | What?" |
30925 | When are you going to have a council, and settle this thing?" |
30925 | When would he see her again? |
30925 | When? |
30925 | Where are those furs?" |
30925 | Where could he go? |
30925 | Where did that light come from? |
30925 | Where did you learn it? |
30925 | Where had he found her? |
30925 | Where is it? |
30925 | Where was Jean? |
30925 | Where was she? |
30925 | Where was she? |
30925 | Where were his comrades? |
30925 | Where''s she?" |
30925 | Where, then? |
30925 | Where?" |
30925 | Who can tell? |
30925 | Who had taken her? |
30925 | Who has it? |
30925 | Who is the woman?" |
30925 | Who is the woman?" |
30925 | Who should be about at this hour? |
30925 | Who were they? |
30925 | Who''s she with?" |
30925 | Who, then, was the person in the sleigh? |
30925 | Whose was it? |
30925 | Why are you glad?" |
30925 | Why did n''t she tell me?" |
30925 | Why did you cease to eat, and carry around a face as long as a sick fox''s, eh? |
30925 | Why did you do it?" |
30925 | Why did you not tell me of this child? |
30925 | Why do n''t you tell all the circumstances of that night Indian Tom was killed? |
30925 | Why not let the tragedy go on to its inevitable close? |
30925 | Why should he break his pipe, and ask for the one in the hallway? |
30925 | Why should they have stayed here so long?" |
30925 | Why were you singing love- songs under the trees of nights? |
30925 | Why, then, had the factor withheld his bolt until now? |
30925 | Why? |
30925 | Why?" |
30925 | Why?" |
30925 | Will you bring them to me?" |
30925 | Will you promise never to see her or communicate with her again? |
30925 | Will you promise?" |
30925 | Will you put down your arms peaceably, or shall I fire?" |
30925 | Will you retire to your post, and stay there until I can get you shifted to the West?" |
30925 | Will you sit with me by the fire?" |
30925 | Would he ever see her again as she had been that bitter day? |
30925 | Would there be something gone from that innocent face, some of its sweet purity? |
30925 | Yet, what other way was there? |
30925 | You do n''t even ask my permission?" |
30925 | You do n''t suppose I''m going to wait for them, do you? |
30925 | You will pardon me if I ask if that was not a letter of farewell?" |
30925 | You wish him to live, do n''t you? |
30925 | You''re not going to kill him?" |
30925 | cried Donald,"who''s that?" |
30925 | demanded Donald;"and who are you?" |
30925 | he said,"do you know who this is? |
30925 | man, do n''t you know who your father was? |
18182 | ''Ave ye taken the hoath of hallegiance, sir? |
18182 | A message to me? |
18182 | A nunnery? |
18182 | Afraid? |
18182 | After communion? |
18182 | Ah? |
18182 | Am I a prisoner? |
18182 | Am I not grown tall? |
18182 | Am I to be shot? 18182 Am I to be shot?" |
18182 | An the French reward us not well for this winter''s work, that little maid may open a door back to England; eh, kinsman? |
18182 | An your fine gentlemen grow rich that way, why may n''t I? |
18182 | And I suppose you will be telling me there are no Indians up there among the rafters? |
18182 | And how comes Your Excellency to be out so late with ten men? |
18182 | And how he risked his life to save an Indian girl''s life? |
18182 | And now,said he, hastening through the bush,"as no one took fright at all that firing, what''s to hinder examining the ship?" |
18182 | And the end? |
18182 | And the marines? |
18182 | And the officers? |
18182 | And what are you going to do? |
18182 | And what does Mistress Hortense say? |
18182 | And what might this young man want? |
18182 | And what might you want, stealing up like a thief in the night? |
18182 | And what,he demanded,"what doth a little cavalier in a Puritan hotbed?" |
18182 | And who is that? |
18182 | And who is this? |
18182 | And who would find a husband for a portionless bride? |
18182 | And your French mind? |
18182 | And-- and-- all the officers were there on the Sabbath? |
18182 | Anything else? |
18182 | Are they gone? |
18182 | Are you jealous of anything so small? |
18182 | Are you son o''the Stanhope that fought on the king''s side? |
18182 | Are you sure there''s nothing? |
18182 | As long as she gets it, what does it matter who takes it? |
18182 | Aye, and as I have some rare furs for them both, why not let us bear the news to them ourselves? |
18182 | Back? |
18182 | Be_ he_ fairer than the day Or the_ June- field coils of hay_; If_ he_ be not so to me, What care I how_ fine_ he be? |
18182 | Ben,said he, never taking his glance from the young fellow''s face,"what will you give me if I guide you to your father this afternoon? |
18182 | But I sent a message to the fort----"Not to be bitten by the same dog twice-- I thought that meant to keep away? |
18182 | But about these English prisoners, of whom La Chesnaye sent word from Isle Percée? |
18182 | But how was Mistress Hortense to know that? |
18182 | But where are their foot- marks? |
18182 | But who is this, Jack? |
18182 | But, Rebecca----"Will you come for Hortense''s sake? |
18182 | But--Rebecca was blushing furiously,"but-- I mean-- was there a chaplain? |
18182 | Ca n''t you break through the thongs and get a hand free? |
18182 | Can you guess who that sailor- lad is, Rebecca? |
18182 | Can-- I ever-- ever repay you-- Hortense? |
18182 | Captain Gillam''s boat? |
18182 | Confess what? 18182 Cornered? |
18182 | D''ye mind how we got away from the Iroquois, Chouart? |
18182 | Did he? 18182 Did the cub''s hangdog of a father not offer a thousand pounds for my head on the end of a pikestaff?" |
18182 | Did the north not agree with Sieur Radisson? |
18182 | Did you see her oft, Ramsay? |
18182 | Did you see_ her_? |
18182 | Do n''t you understand? 18182 Do the Scriptures lie, Ramsay Stanhope? |
18182 | Do we sail in that case? |
18182 | Do you go with me or no? |
18182 | Do you mean that Jack Battle has married a squaw? |
18182 | Do you mean the court, sir? |
18182 | Do you mean this little gentleman? |
18182 | Do you mind, Chouart,he asked,"how the padre wanted to put poison in the meat, and the Dutchman would n''t let him? |
18182 | Does the cub think to cower me with his threats? |
18182 | Doth Boston air bring red so quick to all faces? |
18182 | Doth looking hurt yon star? |
18182 | Eh, nephew,exclaims Radisson sharply,"how are the cannon?" |
18182 | Face what? |
18182 | Faith, mademoiselle,said I ruefully,"an she may n''t play war on the commons, what may she play?" |
18182 | Fit crossing? |
18182 | Forever? |
18182 | Furs? |
18182 | Gad''s life, ca n''t you see? |
18182 | Gentlemen,says M. Radisson, with the fires agleam in his deep- set eyes,"am I to understand that every one here is for going forward at any risk?" |
18182 | Godefroy,I asked,"how long will this last?" |
18182 | Gone? |
18182 | Has one run away from the island against orders? |
18182 | Hath the little Puritan helped to get them married right? |
18182 | Have I put bread in thy mouth, Ramsay Stanhope, that thou shouldst turn traitor? 18182 Have we not wrestled mightily for signs and wonders?" |
18182 | Have you lost a man, Ben? |
18182 | Have you not heard, Jack? |
18182 | Have you seen Hortense? |
18182 | Have you seen her? |
18182 | He gives''em that saucy brat, does he? 18182 He hath taken the oath?" |
18182 | Hortense, should an oath to the dead bind the living? |
18182 | Hortense, then it was you that I saw at the fire with the others? |
18182 | Hortense, who sent Le Borgne and M. Picot to save me from the wolves? |
18182 | Hortense-- Hortense-- how am I to keep a promise? |
18182 | How about that Canary taken from the foreign ship? 18182 How can I handle all the English of both forts unless I win some of them for friends?" |
18182 | How close can your gunners hit, Ben? |
18182 | How did you come here? |
18182 | How do you know, Ramsay? |
18182 | How goes the keeping of accounts, Ramsay? |
18182 | How is she called? |
18182 | How long ago was that, Colonel Blood? |
18182 | How long do you intend to squat here anchored to an ice- pan? |
18182 | How many beaver- skins? |
18182 | How many have you? |
18182 | How shall we bring up the matter of Hortense? |
18182 | How? |
18182 | I hear you are fur trading, Ramsay? |
18182 | I promised to treat you as I would a sister-- but what-- Hortense? |
18182 | If I could only take her place----"Take her place, Rebecca? |
18182 | If killing''s no murder, whose turn comes next? |
18182 | If there are no Indians, how much farther do we go, sir? |
18182 | In the name o''the fiends, when did you arrive, man? |
18182 | Is Hortense-- so dear? |
18182 | Is M. Radisson back? |
18182 | Is anything there? 18182 Is anything there?" |
18182 | Is he a spy? |
18182 | Is it a wager? |
18182 | Is not this the place? |
18182 | Is not yon Le Borgne? |
18182 | Is the fire not big enough? |
18182 | It is not-- no-- it is not Jack? |
18182 | It was you who pleaded for my life in the cave below my feet? |
18182 | Jack,I asked,"where is Hortense?" |
18182 | Jack,I warned, thinking of Ben Gillam''s craft rigged with sails of as many colours as Joseph''s coat,"Jack-- is it a pirate- ship?" |
18182 | La Chesnaye has told you? |
18182 | La Chesnaye''s son----"Have the ships a good cargo? 18182 Le Borgne, was any one here with you?" |
18182 | Le Borgne, you rascal, is this a way to treat your friends? |
18182 | Le Borgne,I ask,"was any one here?" |
18182 | Let''s see? |
18182 | Look, you rantipole-- who is that? |
18182 | Love-- what? |
18182 | Maid of honour to the lonely queen? |
18182 | Man alive, why do n''t you carve a way? |
18182 | Married in the north? 18182 Married?" |
18182 | Master Stanhope? |
18182 | May I ask, sir, how you know the pirate signals? |
18182 | May I examine them, Rebecca? |
18182 | Mizza snared rabbits and I stole back my musket when we ran away and did some shooting long as powder lasted----"And then? |
18182 | Must I spell it out? 18182 Must a woman ever be a cat''s- paw to man''s ambitions?" |
18182 | Mutinied? 18182 No one here, lad?" |
18182 | No-- no,says the dream- face, with the love that divines without speech,"do you not understand? |
18182 | No; but you''ll ask her? |
18182 | No? |
18182 | Now tell me, whose is she, and what value do you set on her? |
18182 | Now what in the Old Nick does he mean by that? |
18182 | Now, where are your wits, lad? 18182 Oh, I get work enough on the docks to pay for Mizza''s lessons--""Lessons?" |
18182 | Oh, lordy,taunts an English prisoner out on parole one day,"any angels from kingdom come that you Frenchies keep meek as lambs?" |
18182 | Oh,she cried,"were you not asleep? |
18182 | Oh? |
18182 | Perhaps you remember a New Amsterdam gentleman and a page boy leaving Boston on the Prince Rupert? |
18182 | Promise-- and when did promise o''yours hold good, Pierre Radisson? |
18182 | Ramsay Stanhope,begins my uncle sourly,"what do you with uncropped hair and the foolish trappings of vanity?" |
18182 | Ramsay,inquired Jack quizzically,"do you happen to have heard who has the keys?" |
18182 | Ramsay,said M. Radisson, speaking very low and tense,"As you hope to live and without a lie, what-- does-- this-- mean?" |
18182 | Ramsay,she asked with a sudden look straight through my eyes,"what did he make you promise when-- when-- he was dying?" |
18182 | Ramsay? |
18182 | Ramsay? |
18182 | Ramsay? |
18182 | Rebecca, Madame Radisson has told you how Jack was left to be tortured by the Indians? |
18182 | Rebecca,I demanded,"what do you mean?" |
18182 | Rebecca,I whispered, leaning across the bench,"you are big enough to have a-- what? |
18182 | Rebecca-- what is it? |
18182 | Right? |
18182 | Royalist? |
18182 | Services? |
18182 | Shall I lend you a trumpet, La Chesnaye, or-- or a fife? |
18182 | Sir,said I,"have you nothing more to say? |
18182 | Sir? |
18182 | Sir? |
18182 | Sir? |
18182 | Spanish adventurer-- Your Excellency? 18182 Take it to her?" |
18182 | Thanks,says Ben, twirling his mustaches till they were nigh jerked out,"but how long would they stay?" |
18182 | The poor thing kept telling me and telling me to trust you till I--"Till you what, Hortense? |
18182 | The ship would be of some value; but why take the men prisoners? 18182 The white- man is Le Borgne''s friend,"assured Groseillers,"but who are these?" |
18182 | The wolves got Godefroy,I would reason,"how did n''t they get me? |
18182 | Then you''ll not need Rebecca for six months or so? |
18182 | They do say as''ow it is for love of Mary Kirke and not the English--"Your renegade of a French-- who? |
18182 | Think? |
18182 | To sail in, Jack Battle? |
18182 | Was it not enough that thou wert utterly bound in iniquity without persecuting the Lord''s anointed? |
18182 | Was it? |
18182 | Was that the message he gave you? 18182 Well?" |
18182 | Well? |
18182 | Were the courtiers about? |
18182 | Were those your ships? |
18182 | Were you so mighty proud the other night that you could not come to see a humble ward of the court? |
18182 | What I done about a mate? |
18182 | What a deuce? |
18182 | What are king- killers? |
18182 | What are king- killers? |
18182 | What are those, Rebecca? |
18182 | What are you doing back there, La Chesnaye? |
18182 | What d''ye lack? 18182 What did he give for the pelts, Godefroy?" |
18182 | What did you put in the meat, Pierre? |
18182 | What do you make of it, Godefroy? |
18182 | What do you think we should do, sir? |
18182 | What do you want in return? |
18182 | What does Captain Radisson advise? |
18182 | What does he say, Godefroy? |
18182 | What does he say, Godefroy? |
18182 | What else was there to do, Hortense? 18182 What for, Ben?" |
18182 | What has that to do with Mistress Hortense? |
18182 | What have you come for? |
18182 | What have you under your arm? |
18182 | What is he saying to them now? |
18182 | What you-- come for? |
18182 | What''s my boy doing? |
18182 | What''s that? |
18182 | What''s the matter with your hand? 18182 What, Hillary? |
18182 | What-- what else was there to do? |
18182 | What? |
18182 | What? |
18182 | What? |
18182 | What? |
18182 | When did you feel him getting away from you? |
18182 | When-- when-- did you come? |
18182 | Where did you come from? |
18182 | Where is Balaam? |
18182 | Where is Master Ben? |
18182 | Where is Mistress Hortense? |
18182 | Where is a man to take cover, an the buccaneers began shooting from the bush behind? |
18182 | Where is my master? |
18182 | Where to, Jack? |
18182 | White- man-- promise-- no-- hurt-- good Indian? |
18182 | Who did that? 18182 Who is that, Godefroy?" |
18182 | Who must fight them all? |
18182 | Who paid you to poison Hortense? 18182 Who said''slave''?" |
18182 | Who sent Le Borgne for us in the storm, Hortense? |
18182 | Who shoot what? |
18182 | Who''s there? |
18182 | Who''s who when he''s drunk? 18182 Who-- what is this?" |
18182 | Who? |
18182 | Who? |
18182 | Who? |
18182 | Who? |
18182 | Whom do you make them out to be, Ramsay? |
18182 | Why did n''t you go round to her box, the way M. Radisson did to the king''s? |
18182 | Why did n''t you sell her to some Spanish adventurer before you came here? |
18182 | Why do n''t you take it to her, Jack? |
18182 | Why have n''t you? |
18182 | Why not? |
18182 | Why, when a king, who is too busy to sign death- reprieves, may spend the night hunting a single moth from room to room of the palace? 18182 Why-- why did you promise that?" |
18182 | Why-- why-- didn''t you give us warning? |
18182 | Why? |
18182 | Why? |
18182 | Will you do me the honour to satisfy yourself that wound is genuine? |
18182 | Will you petition the king direct? |
18182 | Would another bridesmaid do? |
18182 | Yes? |
18182 | You are not afraid? |
18182 | You mean to send her to Mary Kirke? |
18182 | You think-- it''s-- it''s-- all right? |
18182 | You''ll not take the odds? 18182 Your fine gallants have so many fine speeches----""Have you been here long?" |
18182 | Your wife? 18182 _ Her_?" |
18182 | ''Tis not your girl- page? |
18182 | ****** And had I once thought that Eli Kirke''s fanatic faith painted too lurid a hell? |
18182 | A galleon, did you say, tall and slim? |
18182 | A night- watchman shuffled along with swinging lantern, calling out:"What ho? |
18182 | A_ hard_ master, you say? |
18182 | Am I to be shot?" |
18182 | An a man wins, who a devil gives a rush for the winnings? |
18182 | An you listen to Deliverance Dobbins''s lies, what hinders any lying wench sending good men to the scaffold?" |
18182 | And again I ask why not, when the law of their life was to kill or to be killed? |
18182 | And did I know of any secret league between Captain Zachariah Gillam and Mr. Stocking to trade without commission? |
18182 | And now she must marry the boy----""Why?" |
18182 | And was not that Jack Battle greeting her outside in the dark? |
18182 | And what do you think M. Radisson said as he wiped the sweat from his brow? |
18182 | And what do you think that black- eyed jade asks when I present the furs and tell of our captured Frenchmen? |
18182 | And what words, think you, came quick on top of his first sharp outcry? |
18182 | And-- and was not Mistress Hortense the only woman----?" |
18182 | Are n''t you and me to be shipped on a raft for the English fort at the foot o''the bay?" |
18182 | Are the timbers of your room sound?" |
18182 | Beaten? |
18182 | Before I gained strength to escape, would M. Radisson have left for Quebec? |
18182 | Ben took us to the north with Le Borgne for interpreter----""Does Ben know you are here?" |
18182 | But how could one forage for food with a right arm in bands and a left unsteady as aim of a girl? |
18182 | But what was she saying in her sleep? |
18182 | But what was that sound? |
18182 | But where a''devil is that Indian?" |
18182 | But whither had he gone that he had not come back to us? |
18182 | But why had he flung his sword down at the moment of victory? |
18182 | Can you guess who this is?" |
18182 | Did a fellow''s tales slip an oath or two? |
18182 | Did a fish rise? |
18182 | Did it rise from the ground in the woods, or from a far memory of children throwing a bully into the sea? |
18182 | Did that explain why my life had been three times spared? |
18182 | Did they laugh at this fellow, the most helpless of all things, setting out to conquer all things? |
18182 | Did voices grow loud in the mess- room? |
18182 | Did you sink her or sell her? |
18182 | Do you know the risk?" |
18182 | Do you know what it means? |
18182 | Do you mind the copy- heads on the writing- books? |
18182 | Do you not hear the drunken revel? |
18182 | Do you wonder that our hearts stopped almost as suddenly as the paddles? |
18182 | Does Your High Mightiness give place to a merchant''s son? |
18182 | Does it hurt?" |
18182 | Eh, lad, afraid to go?" |
18182 | Face what?" |
18182 | For had not the blind forces brought Hortense to me, and me to Hortense? |
18182 | Good lack, what will Sir John say?" |
18182 | Had I not noticed the mole on the French doctor''s cheek? |
18182 | Had I run in a circle and come again on M. Radisson''s fire? |
18182 | Had he been sent for me? |
18182 | Had not Eli Kirke planned trading in the north with Mr. Stocking? |
18182 | Had spring come? |
18182 | Had you a preacher? |
18182 | Has he seen the Company?" |
18182 | He would give a thousand pounds for my head-- would he? |
18182 | How are some men born to draw all others as the sea draws the streams? |
18182 | How came I to be lying in Boston Town? |
18182 | How could I go to M. de Radisson and abandon Hortense? |
18182 | How could I stay with M. Picot and desert M. de Radisson? |
18182 | How could they get a minister a thousand leagues away from any church? |
18182 | How did I get away? |
18182 | How did he know that? |
18182 | How had he made the savages come to him? |
18182 | How long had I lain in the cave? |
18182 | How many days have you been here?" |
18182 | How much better could we have done for her?" |
18182 | I ask you in return why you like the spire of a cathedral pointing up instead of down; or why the muses lift souls heavenward? |
18182 | I had: what of it? |
18182 | I thought of appealing to the mercy of the judges; but what mercy had Eli Kirke received at the hands of royalists that he should be merciful to them? |
18182 | If once the great door were unlocked, who could tell what black arts a sorcerer might use? |
18182 | If this was the beginning, what was the end? |
18182 | In the name o''the fiends-- where from?" |
18182 | Is Captain Gillam stealing the Company''s furs for Ben?" |
18182 | Lordy,"laughs Jack,"s''pose I do n''t know what a foot on a neck feels like? |
18182 | Mary?" |
18182 | May the angel of forgiveness spread a broader mantle across our blunders than our sins, but could I have said worse? |
18182 | Might I not speak to the French doctor through the bars of his window? |
18182 | My uncle''s welcome was more than a vain lad could stomach; and what youth of his first teens hath not a vanity hidden about him somewhere? |
18182 | Nine lives for each man, did you say?" |
18182 | No? |
18182 | Not a- bed yet, child? |
18182 | Now, Rebecca, will you sit down till I tell you all about it?" |
18182 | Oh, that is the reason you never came----""And that is the reason you have hidden from me all the year and never sent me word?" |
18182 | Or make pale my cheeks with care''Cause_ Rebecca''s_ rosier are?" |
18182 | PART I CHAPTER I WHAT ARE KING- KILLERS? |
18182 | Ramsay, why did she love that north land where the wicked Frenchman took her?" |
18182 | Restore her to what? |
18182 | Shaping his hands to a trumpet, he shouted,"How are you, there?" |
18182 | Should I lie like a stranded hull while he perished? |
18182 | Should I tell him of the adventure? |
18182 | Spreading over the face of the New World, making the desert to bloom and the waste places fruitful gardens? |
18182 | Tell me that?" |
18182 | That was the child''s way of asking a very old question-- Was Man the sport of the elements, the plaything of all the cruel, blind gods of chance? |
18182 | The only doubt is how many of those pirates are there who attacked you in the woods?" |
18182 | Then Hortense was no dream, and love was no phantom, and God-- was what? |
18182 | Then a voice which only speaks when love speaks through the voice was saying,"Do you remember your dreams?" |
18182 | Then the Dutchman wanted to murder them all in their sleep, and the padre would n''t let him?" |
18182 | Then turning to me with her face aflame:"I am-- I am-- oh-- why ca n''t you understand?" |
18182 | Think you M. Picot burns incense to the serpent in his jars for the healing of mankind?" |
18182 | This was what the Indian was saying as Godefroy muttered it over to me:"Were the Indians fools and dogs to throw away two fish for the sake of one? |
18182 | Those guns in the bastions though-- think you those cannon are not pushed too far through the windows to be slued round quickly?" |
18182 | Up yet? |
18182 | Was I dreaming, or were there voices, English voices, talking about me? |
18182 | Was I not the only royalist in the house? |
18182 | Was M. Radisson a myth? |
18182 | Was he not here among them? |
18182 | Was it flood of memory or a sick man''s dream? |
18182 | Was that the only reason?" |
18182 | Was the northland a dream? |
18182 | Was the water suddenly muddied? |
18182 | Waters-- did I say? |
18182 | Were my assailants, then, Hudson''s Bay Company men come up from the south end of James Bay? |
18182 | Were the pirates some agents of my uncle? |
18182 | What a pretty mischief have you been working? |
18182 | What ado was this in Boston, where men were only hunters of souls and chasers of devils? |
18182 | What are King- Killers? |
18182 | What could I do? |
18182 | What d''ye lack? |
18182 | What d''ye please to lack, good sirs? |
18182 | What does Osmond''s daughter say?" |
18182 | What else was there for us to do?" |
18182 | What folly is this-- dear, kind Rebecca? |
18182 | What gain to keep up pretence longer? |
18182 | What had she done that she ought not to have done? |
18182 | What ho?" |
18182 | What next?" |
18182 | What was she trying to say with her dark hints and overnice scruples of a Puritan conscience? |
18182 | What was this fellow doing with a torch? |
18182 | What will become of her?" |
18182 | What will my father have to say?" |
18182 | What- a- deuce? |
18182 | When they reached the shambles, know you what they did? |
18182 | When we''ve taken him, lads, who-- think you-- dare complain?" |
18182 | Where are the New Englanders?" |
18182 | Where are the tribes with whom Godefroy and Jack Battle and I wandered in nomadic life over the northern wastes? |
18182 | Where are we, Le Borgne?" |
18182 | Where had I heard it before? |
18182 | Where is that vagabond Cree? |
18182 | Where is your colour of a moment ago?" |
18182 | Where was the brain? |
18182 | Where, think you, may we best secure him? |
18182 | Which do you mean?" |
18182 | While we swung at anchorman, what d''y''think happened? |
18182 | Who are her people?" |
18182 | Who had turned informer on my uncle? |
18182 | Who is Hortense?" |
18182 | Who was the third partner? |
18182 | Who were these night- watchers? |
18182 | Why did n''t I join the beaver trade of Hudson Bay? |
18182 | Why do n''t you join the beaver trade, Ramsay?" |
18182 | Why do you ask questions? |
18182 | Why must you and Madame Radisson and Lady Kirke all push me here?" |
18182 | Why not, indeed? |
18182 | Why not? |
18182 | Why should he have, when his only standard of right is conquest? |
18182 | Why should it not be, when his only god is victory? |
18182 | Why would he put her in a house of correction? |
18182 | Why, when a duchess must take me every morning to a milliner''s shop, where she meets her lover, who is a rope- walker? |
18182 | Why, when ladies of the court dress in men''s clothes to run the streets with the Scowerers? |
18182 | Why, when our sailors starve unpaid and gold enough lies on the basset- table of a Sunday night to feed the army? |
18182 | Why-- who-- who married him, Ramsay?" |
18182 | Why-- why-- did you promise?" |
18182 | Why----?" |
18182 | Will i Do It? |
18182 | Will you not come?" |
18182 | Would suspicion fall on me? |
18182 | Would''t be any better to send you to the rope than Hortense? |
18182 | You ask what that look was? |
18182 | You kept your promise, and a ward of the crown must marry whom the king names--""Marry?" |
18182 | any one listening?" |
18182 | called one, reining his horse to its haunches,"did that snivelling knave pass this way?" |
18182 | cries Ben,"but where a deuce are all your land forces and marines and jack- tars and forty thousand officers?" |
18182 | he exclaimed,"do fur- traders keep royalty awaiting?" |
18182 | is a slaughter better than a game? |
18182 | mocks Hortense,"what else is there to do?" |
18182 | returns Phipps,"how many beaver- skins are there in store?" |
18182 | says Hortense,"what else? |
18182 | says Hortense,"why do I hate this life? |
18182 | she cried impetuously,"I hate this life-- why did you all send me to it?" |
18182 | who married you?" |
20418 | All? |
20418 | An''in the name of the seven wonders of creation, what for would you be getting down? |
20418 | An''wa''d ye have me expose the head of a mitherless bairn to a''the clack o''the auld geese in the settlement? 20418 An''who''s talking of killin'', ye young cut- throat? |
20418 | And did they,I cried, in spite of the injunction,"did they do that to you?" |
20418 | And have the whole pack of them sneaking after us? 20418 And how can I strike a man who saved my life?" |
20418 | And pray, Sir, what might''bunk''mean? |
20418 | And she could n''t be lost in Charlesbourg forest? |
20418 | And the stone? |
20418 | And there was an Indian encampment a few yards down the road? |
20418 | And was my little Eric at the hunt, and did he shoot an arrow all by himself? |
20418 | And what are the capers of this, my beast, compared to the antics of fate, Sir Priest? |
20418 | And what did I say about Frances? |
20418 | And where do you go? |
20418 | And why is that tent apart from the rest and who is in it? |
20418 | And womankind? |
20418 | And you forgive all? 20418 And you''re quite sure she is n''t in the house?" |
20418 | And----"And what? |
20418 | Are n''t you coming? 20418 Are there no dark halls in there, unsafe for you?" |
20418 | Are they with you? 20418 Are they with you?" |
20418 | Are those buffalo, Black Cat? |
20418 | Are ye Rufus Gillespie? |
20418 | Are you Gillespie? |
20418 | Are you among the prophets? |
20418 | Are you cold, now? |
20418 | Are you hurt, and at such a time? |
20418 | Are you ill, man? |
20418 | Are you men back? 20418 Are you men looking for trouble?" |
20418 | Are you mooning after the Little Statue already? |
20418 | Are you possessed? |
20418 | Are you sure you''ll be safe? |
20418 | Are you sure you''re safe? |
20418 | Are you there? |
20418 | Are you tired, Frances? |
20418 | Are-- they-- with-- you? |
20418 | Art satisfied? |
20418 | Aye-- is it Frances y''r speerin''after? |
20418 | Bad men? |
20418 | Bag him, eh? |
20418 | Be still-- you what? |
20418 | Because they saw you with me? |
20418 | Because----"Because what? |
20418 | Burning hay- ricks? |
20418 | But it did n''t succeed? |
20418 | But the Citadel paper? |
20418 | But the road, Eric? |
20418 | By Jove, Hamilton, we need it, do n''t we? |
20418 | Call that hard luck? |
20418 | Certainly we are, but get this truck to higher ground, will you? |
20418 | Colin Robertson-- the Nor''-Wester? |
20418 | Could n''t they have gone down the road to those Indian encampments? |
20418 | Crying? |
20418 | Dear love-- wherever are you? |
20418 | Did I rive ye sore, lad? |
20418 | Did I strike somebody? 20418 Did I strike somebody?" |
20418 | Did that spring up all of a sudden? |
20418 | Did the little wifie let him off for a night''s play? |
20418 | Did they torture you? |
20418 | Did ye ever-- did ever ye see such a little termagant, such a persuasive, commanding little queen of a termagant? |
20418 | Did you really expect him back alive from the Bloods? |
20418 | Do I? |
20418 | Do my eyes tell lies? 20418 Do n''t you know?" |
20418 | Do you find the way very far-- Frances? |
20418 | Do you know where he is? |
20418 | Do you need to ask with such a galaxy of nut- brown maidens? |
20418 | Do you really mean it? 20418 Do you really want to know how?" |
20418 | Do you think the_ Bois- Brulés_ would plunder your boats? |
20418 | Do-- with-- him? |
20418 | Do_ I_ scent matrimony? |
20418 | Eagles, are they? |
20418 | Eh? |
20418 | Eric Hamilton, are you mad? |
20418 | Faith, now, what might they all be doing with stars for diadems? 20418 For anything else?" |
20418 | For the trial of cases occurring? |
20418 | Friend, or foe? |
20418 | From whom? |
20418 | Game scarce on MacKenzie River? |
20418 | Gillespie, man, what''s wrong? 20418 Had him in your power-- knew what he''d done-- and-- and-- didn''t?" |
20418 | Hang it,drawled Colonel Adderly, a squatty man with an over- fed look on his bulging, red cheeks,"hang it, you do n''t expect Hamilton? |
20418 | Has any one seen Eric Hamilton? |
20418 | Has your Lordship some colonization scheme that you ask such pointed questions? |
20418 | Have I been here for months? |
20418 | Have n''t many brethren come from the same tribe more like warped branches than men? 20418 Have the Indians passed, or are they to come?" |
20418 | Have they been making ladders? |
20418 | Have ye as much as got a glint of her eye to- day? |
20418 | Have ye no seen Frances? |
20418 | Have you-- oh-- have you? |
20418 | He is coming? |
20418 | He''d let you hear about it to all eternity, too, would n''t he? |
20418 | Help you up? |
20418 | Hoo are ye, gillie? |
20418 | Hoo are ye, gillie? |
20418 | How are you going to get''em to her? |
20418 | How can I, Louis Laplante, son of a seigneur, strike a man who wo n''t hit back? |
20418 | How could we know that Selkirk would purchase controlling interest in Hudson''s Bay stock? 20418 How did you reach Fort Gibraltar?" |
20418 | How do you know he''s a spy? |
20418 | How do you know? |
20418 | How far,I began, with a curious inability to use my wits and tongue,"how far-- I mean how long have I been asleep, sir?" |
20418 | How stands the hour- glass? |
20418 | How strong are the Mandanes? |
20418 | How''s the cold in your head? |
20418 | Hudson''s Bay been tampering with your Indians? 20418 Hudson''s Bay, or Nor''-Wester?" |
20418 | I beg your pardon, gentlemen,said I,"what were you saying to Colonel Adderly?" |
20418 | I have had? |
20418 | I say,called one, who had been dazed by the splendor,"how do you tell which is the lookin''glass and which is the window?" |
20418 | I say,exclaimed a man joining the group,"d''y''hear the news? |
20418 | If you meant to stay at the fort, why did n''t you decide sooner? |
20418 | Interesting and delightful? |
20418 | Is Diable among them? |
20418 | Is Diable here? |
20418 | Is Eric sleepy? |
20418 | Is Mr. Sutherland an H. B. C. or Nor''-Wester? |
20418 | Is boy sleepy? |
20418 | Is it a cold night? |
20418 | Is it a long story, Rufus? |
20418 | Is it a pretty story, Rufus? |
20418 | Is it white? |
20418 | Is it you, Eric? 20418 Is it you, really you, looking as old as your great grandfather? |
20418 | Is it your wife, Miriam, and your boy? |
20418 | Is that all about Diable, Eric? |
20418 | Is that all? |
20418 | Is that in our honor? |
20418 | Is that the tribe? |
20418 | Is that true about the Indian kidnapping a woman? |
20418 | Is that true? |
20418 | Is that you, Eric? |
20418 | Is this Sunday? |
20418 | It is n''t so cold as-- as that, is it? |
20418 | It was daylight, Eric? |
20418 | Know any of them? |
20418 | Know they-- what for-- you come? |
20418 | Le Grand Diable-- did you see him? |
20418 | Le Grand Diable? |
20418 | Let go-- is ut ye''re orderin''me? |
20418 | Looks thin, does n''t he? 20418 Lots of confidential talks with her, I suppose?" |
20418 | Louis,I commanded, utterly out of patience,"what of Miriam? |
20418 | Louis,said I, trying to fathom the meaning of his wink,"are those Indians to come yet?" |
20418 | Mane it? |
20418 | Marry!--What? |
20418 | May I not come? |
20418 | Miriam, what has happened? |
20418 | Mr. Sutherland,I cried, with all the impatience of a child,"please tell me, where is your daughter?" |
20418 | My devil, or yours? |
20418 | No? |
20418 | No? |
20418 | Nor''-Wester, but what does that matter? 20418 Not a word for y''rself?" |
20418 | Not know what? |
20418 | Now, Louis, what do you mean by this nonsense? |
20418 | Now, how shall I pay you? |
20418 | O Uncle MacKenzie,said I with a wry face,"do you measure your own wine so?" |
20418 | Oh, is it only you? 20418 Only wisdom?" |
20418 | Out of your reckoning already? |
20418 | Out wid y''r nonsense, and what good are y''thinkin''ye''ll do--? 20418 Pay me?" |
20418 | Please see if they fit, Sir? 20418 Rufus,"he whispered softly,"where are they taking me?" |
20418 | See those stones? |
20418 | Shioux squaw-- Devil''s wife-- how you say it in English? 20418 Sir Alexander was a first cousin of yours, was he not?" |
20418 | Sit down, will you? |
20418 | Smell violets? |
20418 | Smoke? 20418 So the knife cut well, did it? |
20418 | So the lordly Captain Miles McDonell of the Queen''s Rangers, generalissimo of all creation, defies us, does he? |

20418 | The gentleman wants to know if the lady objects to having her place usurped? |
20418 | The little-- what? |
20418 | Then what shall we do with him? |

20418 | There''s a fountain- spout in Nor''-West vaults for those who know where to tap the spigot, eh, Louis? |

20418 | Very far? |
20418 | Very near? 20418 Was it worth while this year?" |
20418 | Was that all? |
20418 | Was-- was-- Laplante-- in that? |
20418 | We do n''t display our little amours----"No,broke in the other,"we just display our little contours and get snubbed, eh?" |
20418 | Well, Gillespie, when you take yours up, take mine along, too, will you? 20418 Well,"said I, with a laugh, which surprised the rascals mightily,"now you''ve captured your elephant, what do you propose to do with him?" |
20418 | Well? |
20418 | Well? |
20418 | Well? |
20418 | Were a few Nor''-Westers so successful in holding back the Metis at Seven Oaks, you''d like to see that experiment repeated? |

20418 | Why do n''t you answer? |
20418 | Why else do I hide you in my tent? 20418 Why not leave them in the fort till things quiet down?" |
20418 | Why, Gillespie,called a voice,"what in the world are you doing here?" |
20418 | Why? |
20418 | Will he be back? |
20418 | With all the Indians of Red River in possession of that fort? |
20418 | With what? |
20418 | With you? |
20418 | Ye blunder- busticus, ye, what have ye been doing? |
20418 | Yes, do n''t you know you''ve been talking in torrents for the past ten minutes? 20418 Yes-- why? |
20418 | You are going for Miriam? |
20418 | You coming too? |
20418 | You got away too quick for them? |
20418 | You know I lie to you in the gorge? |
20418 | You know what that lie mean--and he hesitated--"mean to her-- to Miriam?" |
20418 | You, Gillespie? |
20418 | You? 20418 Your daughter is not at home?" |
20418 | _ Manus habent, et non palpabunt; pedes_----"Is Gillespie here? |
20418 | _ Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea_----"Some one here before us? |
20418 | _ Us?_she asked. |
20418 | _ Voilà, Monsieur?_said the_ habitant_, which made four words for that day. |

20418 | An''ye claver sic''nonsense when ye''re daft, what would ye say when ye''re sane? |
20418 | And did she flare back at me? |
20418 | And do you know, Rufus, I never could thank you all? |
20418 | And the Sioux did not eat you by inches, beginning with your thumbs? |
20418 | And the fellows''ve got to stretch their necks to come up to her ideas of what''s proper, that''s why she''s a stature, ai n''t it? |
20418 | And what else, indeed? |
20418 | And what were they decreeing? |
20418 | Are there any bleeding hearts in the bush?" |
20418 | Are they ahead? |
20418 | Are they with you?" |
20418 | Are we playing jest is earnest, or earnest is jest?" |
20418 | Are you getting the bench?" |
20418 | Are you mad?" |
20418 | Are you mad?" |

20418 | Ca n''t you borrow one from the Indians? |
20418 | Call all even?" |
20418 | Can I do anything to repay you for your trouble in bringing me here?" |
20418 | Can any man blame me for breaking through the thicket and my resolution and discretion and all? |
20418 | Can you go as trader for your people? |
20418 | Can_ you_ see anything up there?" |
20418 | Carpe Diem!_""What is_ Carpe Diem_?" |
20418 | Could I foresee that simple act of mine was to let loose all the punishment the Hudson''s Bay had been heaping up against the day of judgment? |

20418 | Did Louis act from the love of acting and trickery and intrigue? |
20418 | Did she not bind the white woman? |
20418 | Did she not drag me over the ground like a dead stag? |
20418 | Did she not slay La Robe Noire? |
20418 | Did she not slay the white man before Monsieur''s eyes? |
20418 | Did the Nor''-Wester and I hesitate, and look from the man to the dagger, and from the dagger to the man; or is this an evil dream from a black past? |
20418 | Did you find out anything?" |
20418 | Did you find this--"indicating the spear handle--"there?" |
20418 | Did you hear anything special in the fort that night?" |
20418 | Did you see it?" |

20418 | Do you hear the bells? |
20418 | Do you know, you baggage, that you are delaying this young man in a matter that is of life- and- death importance? |

20418 | Do you remember how you saved my life twice from the Sioux, Louis?" |
20418 | Do you think Father Holland would take''em up?" |
20418 | Do you think I stay here for nothing? |
20418 | Do you think I was old Cam''s private secretary for nothin''? |
20418 | Does the physician justify medical experiments on the criminal, or the sacrificial priest the driving of the scape- goat into the wilderness? |

20418 | Had I not dared all? |
20418 | Had I not read, or heard, of departed spirits hovering near loved ones? |
20418 | Had I, by some strange irony, been led to this spot that I might witness the death of my foe? |
20418 | Had I, too, lost grip of reality; or was she in distress calling for me? |
20418 | Had any one come and driven her to the city? |
20418 | Had he gone to keep secret guard over the priest, or to decoy the vigilant Sioux woman? |
20418 | Had he incriminated Diable to save himself? |
20418 | Had he lied? |
20418 | Had my jerk disturbed whatever it was and sent it rolling down to mid- current? |
20418 | Had not these men gone north young and full of hope, as I was going? |
20418 | Had she known of our efforts at all? |
20418 | Had we not more to fear from living? |
20418 | Had_ Monsieur_ examined the clearing between the house and the forest? |
20418 | Hamilton,"exclaimed Uncle Jack MacKenzie, who was facing Eric as I came up behind,"have you been in a race or a fight?" |
20418 | Hamilton?" |
20418 | Hamilton?" |
20418 | Hast Thou no pity? |
20418 | Hast Thou no pity? |
20418 | Have n''t I spent my life among them? |
20418 | Have you brought the tribe as you promised?" |
20418 | Have you more of that kind?" |
20418 | Here were close- fitted boards-- here, iron- lining-- this must be the gate; but where was the lantern that hung behind? |
20418 | How came it that I was in the woods slushing through damp mold up to my ankles in black ooze? |
20418 | How came it that a Catholic priest lay under a Protestant roof? |
20418 | How can I tell how long I hung there? |
20418 | How could we know he''d secure a land grant in the very heart of our domain?" |
20418 | How d''y''know we''re not here to warn ye about the fort? |
20418 | How did you get away? |
20418 | How did you know I was there?" |
20418 | How do I know? |
20418 | How far by the Beauport road?" |
20418 | How long since you left the Sioux?" |
20418 | How many men have made that vow regarding the woman they love? |
20418 | How many more half- breeds were beneath that cliff? |
20418 | How shall I pay you?" |
20418 | I ca n''t stand the sisterly business, Frances----""Have you suffered much from the sisterly?" |
20418 | I cried, exasperated with myself,"Where''s Fort Gibraltar? |
20418 | I exclaimed, rounding him back from the hill,"Ca n''t you stop this nonsense and sit still for only two days more, or must I tie you up? |
20418 | I run forward, I find Le Petit Garçon-- how you call him?--Leetle Fellow? |
20418 | I see where it ought to be, where the towers ought to be higher than that brush, but where''s the fort?" |
20418 | I thank you-- Father Holland-- is it not? |
20418 | If the Indians had such fear, why had this band camped within a mile of the pest tent? |
20418 | If the worst happened and I were captured, had I the courage to endure Indian tortures? |
20418 | If they wo n''t take our boats to the States, or Canada, what else can Nor''-Westers do?" |
20418 | Is it to be peace or war? |
20418 | Is it you or your ghost?" |
20418 | Is language for the use of man, or man for the use of language?" |
20418 | Is no this fine? |
20418 | Is that a child crying?" |
20418 | Is that woman Miriam?" |
20418 | Is the Indian less brave than the pale face?" |
20418 | Is this Thy pity? |
20418 | Joke-- ain''t it?" |
20418 | Lah Grawnd Deeahble,"and he mouthed over our mispronunciation of his own tongue"Joke, is n''t it?" |
20418 | Lord, boy, why did n''t ye stay with that peppery Scotchman? |
20418 | May it please Her Majesty to grant a token to her leal and devoted knight----""What is thy request?" |
20418 | Me hearty, but what was that?" |
20418 | Miriam, the guiltless, was suffering at his hands; should not he, the guilty, suffer at ours? |
20418 | Must not she do the same? |
20418 | My God, men, how can I tell you? |
20418 | Need I say the voice brought me to my feet at one leap? |
20418 | No-- no-- and we''ve been hunting house and garden for hours----""And the forest?" |
20418 | No? |
20418 | Noo, d''ye no hear the clack o''the geese through yon open window?" |
20418 | Now, Rufus, where are your men? |
20418 | Now, what was there in those replies to cause happiness? |
20418 | Now, who''s appointed to trade with the buffalo hunters but y''r very self?" |
20418 | Of course, I should have gone----""And would it have mended matters if you''d been held hostage too?" |
20418 | Pray, who is he?" |
20418 | Putting out his hand he said--"Is it all right with us again, Rufus, old man?" |
20418 | Quick, Miriam, will you try?" |
20418 | Raising his brows in question, Mr. Jack MacKenzie touched his forehead and whispered across to me--"Mad?" |
20418 | Say, babe, why do n''t y''r fill y''r hat with''em and put''em in her tent?" |
20418 | Say, great chief of the Mandanes, what is thy answer?" |
20418 | Shall I whistle for them?" |
20418 | Shall not a sparrow fall to the ground without Thy knowledge? |
20418 | Shall we be friends or enemies? |
20418 | She do n''t pay more attention to you than if you wuz a stump, that''s why she''s a statue, ai n''t it? |
20418 | She may be drown;"whispered Louis,"but we creep on, quiet like hare, no noise like deer, stiller than mountain cat, hist-- what that?" |
20418 | Should I make the final, desperate dash now? |
20418 | Should I wait to be smoked out of my hole, like a badger, or a raccoon? |
20418 | Simpleton-- you think Louis a fool?" |
20418 | Sounds funny in this desert, do n''t it?" |
20418 | Surely you do n''t treasure any grudge yet?" |
20418 | Sutherland?" |
20418 | THE PRIEST JOURNEYS TO A FAR COUNTRY 433 LORDS OF THE NORTH CHAPTER I WHEREIN A LAD SEES MAKERS OF HISTORY"Has any one seen Eric Hamilton?" |
20418 | Tell me this instant, what do you want?" |
20418 | Tell us, what doth the Mandane offer for the blood of the young man? |
20418 | That post, too, might be destroyed; but where were Hamilton and Father Holland? |
20418 | That was true; for had not forty- eight hours passed since I had regained consciousness and I had heard neither her footsteps nor her voice? |
20418 | That''s the way of it, is it?" |
20418 | That''s why she''s a statute, ai n''t it?" |
20418 | The pulpit silenced-- though that''s a big contract-- mankind labeled, what for women?" |
20418 | The water''s shallow there----""What do_ you_ think?" |
20418 | Then, why had Diable rescued his betrayer? |
20418 | To the buffalo hunt first, then, south? |
20418 | Too well I read the signs and knew the summons; and what can love, or gratitude, do in the presence of that summons? |
20418 | Torture, burning, or the cool wash of a black wave gurgling over one''s head? |
20418 | Want them all, Eric?" |
20418 | Was I a part of the new happiness? |
20418 | Was Miriam within range of those smoke signals? |
20418 | Was he befooling the daughter of L''Aigle, or me? |
20418 | Was it a beaver, or my Indian pursuers? |
20418 | Was it old Cameron?" |
20418 | Was it the apprehension of fear, or the buzzing in my ears, that suggested the faint, far- away echo of a clamoring multitude? |
20418 | Was it the influence of this slip of a girl, I wonder, that a curious change came over our crews? |
20418 | Was it the wind, or a low sigh, or a silent weeping, that I heard? |
20418 | Was that the lad I had known? |
20418 | Was the Sioux squaw from the other lodge listening? |
20418 | Was the Sioux wife with her white slave really in the north country, or was she near, and did that explain my morose Iroquois''all- night vigils? |
20418 | Was the apparition in the Mandane lodge some portent? |
20418 | Was the fellow really delirious? |
20418 | Was the man spying on me? |
20418 | Was the policy, that ended so tragically a year afterwards, adopted at this meeting? |
20418 | Was there smoke of battle? |
20418 | Was this Miriam? |
20418 | Was this Miriam? |
20418 | Was this an illusion, or was I, too, going mad? |
20418 | Was this the end of that long career of evil? |
20418 | Was this the_ avant- courier_ of the Hudson''s Bay, delayed, like ourselves, by the storm? |
20418 | Watched? |
20418 | We had befooled Louis into a betrayal of his associates but how much reliance could be placed on that betrayal? |
20418 | We had cheated Laplante; but had he in turn cheated us? |
20418 | We had had a victory; but how long would it last? |
20418 | Well then, why the deuce did n''t you go, and knock the head off anything that opposed you?" |
20418 | Were those_ Carpe Diem_ flowers?" |
20418 | Were you drunk, or were you not? |
20418 | What about Frances?" |
20418 | What am I, that I should escape? |
20418 | What are they doing?" |
20418 | What are you scared of?" |
20418 | What can I do?" |
20418 | What can you, one man, do against two thousand Sioux?" |
20418 | What care Louis Laplante for the fire? |
20418 | What care Louis for repents? |
20418 | What care Louis for wounds and cuts and threats? |
20418 | What could be keeping him? |
20418 | What d''y''mane, scarin''the breath out of a body and blowing his ideas to limbo? |
20418 | What did Frances mane by lettin''you out to- night?" |
20418 | What did it matter if we were? |
20418 | What did_ you_ do it for?" |
20418 | What do you take traders for?" |
20418 | What do you want of me?" |
20418 | What do you want?" |
20418 | What does Eric say before he goes to sleep?" |
20418 | What for might the angels o''Heaven be doin''going up and down betwane the blue sky and the green earth? |
20418 | What for wu''d a powr Irish priest be doin''a- wearin''of radiant white? |
20418 | What had happened? |
20418 | What had we to fear from dying? |
20418 | What has changed him?" |
20418 | What has that to do with it?" |
20418 | What if some watchful Indian should discover our moving shadows? |
20418 | What lover could send his heart''s eloquence by word of mouth with a peppery, prosaic father? |
20418 | What matter if a lonely one like myself went out alone to the great dark? |
20418 | What of Miriam? |
20418 | What of Miriam?" |
20418 | What of the stars?" |
20418 | What of them?" |
20418 | What picture did agate call back to my mind? |
20418 | What spirits wail to the prairie gale? |
20418 | What tempts the fly into the spider''s web and the fish with a wide ocean for play- ground into one small net? |
20418 | What wonder the gauzy northern lights are bands of marshaling warriors and the stars torches lighting those who ride the plains of heaven? |
20418 | What would Rufus do without ye?" |
20418 | What would you do?" |
20418 | What''s coming now?" |
20418 | What''s goin''on here?" |
20418 | What''s kept you?" |
20418 | What''s that?" |
20418 | What''s up?" |
20418 | What''s wrong out there?" |
20418 | What''s wrong?" |
20418 | What''s your plan?" |
20418 | What,''an wuld ye dare strike a servant o''the Lord? |
20418 | What-- what-- is it? |
20418 | Whatever was it I was to say about stars? |
20418 | Whatever''s the matter with you?" |
20418 | When the harsh voice asked,"Do I rive ye sore?" |
20418 | Where are the parties?" |
20418 | Where are they takin''me, Rufus? |
20418 | Where are y''r wits? |
20418 | Where are your eyes?" |
20418 | Where is the child? |
20418 | Where is the messenger from the Mandanes?" |
20418 | Where is the white woman?" |
20418 | Where was Fort Gibraltar? |
20418 | Where was I? |
20418 | Where was Louis in hiding? |
20418 | Where was the carcass? |
20418 | Where''s his tribe?" |
20418 | Where''s that Frenchman? |
20418 | Where''s the fort?" |
20418 | Where''s the white woman? |
20418 | Where''s your father?" |
20418 | Where_ is_ Rufus Gillespie?" |
20418 | Which of these cut- throats may I claim for a son?" |
20418 | Whither away so fast?" |
20418 | Who are you?" |
20418 | Who can say that I might not have departed from the path called rectitude? |
20418 | Who can tell? |
20418 | Who follows? |
20418 | Who has them?" |
20418 | Who tells his woes to the evening breeze? |
20418 | Who''ll miss him? |
20418 | Who''s afraid of the Sioux? |
20418 | Who''s going to play?" |
20418 | Who''s put off the trail by the fire of a fool Sioux? |
20418 | Who-- are-- you? |
20418 | Who-- in the world-- are you? |
20418 | Who?" |
20418 | Whose cry outpierces the night- bird''s note? |
20418 | Whose voice mourns sadly through sighing trees? |
20418 | Whur''s Eric Hamilton, I say?" |
20418 | Whur''s Eric Hamilton?" |
20418 | Whur-- d''--y''--hide-- it?" |
20418 | Why ca n''t you help me? |
20418 | Why ca n''t you say Statue?" |
20418 | Why did I do it? |
20418 | Why did she evade me and turn altogether to the priest at her right? |
20418 | Why did she not signal? |
20418 | Why do n''t you make something out of this? |
20418 | Why does he not come home to me?" |
20418 | Why does n''t he come? |
20418 | Why had Louis gone off, and why did he not come back? |
20418 | Why have inane answers to inane, timorous questions transformed earth into paradise and mortals into angels? |
20418 | Why have you been so hard on us?" |
20418 | Why have you destroyed our fort?" |
20418 | Why should the half- breed not have his share of the booty? |
20418 | Why should the_ Bois- Brulés_ not pillage Hudson''s Bay posts? |
20418 | Why was the thing lying there, anyway? |
20418 | Why, Gillespie, what do you know of such things? |
20418 | Will it make your revenge any sweeter to torture a helpless, white woman?" |
20418 | Will ye follow the boats alone and see that no harm comes to them?" |
20418 | Will ye go?" |
20418 | Wo n''t she blush? |
20418 | Wo n''t you come back?" |
20418 | Wo n''t you try all for Eric''s sake? |
20418 | Would I be justified in taking Diable prisoner, and would my company consent to the demoralization of their crews by such a step? |
20418 | Would it be right to get hold of Le Grand Diable?" |
20418 | Would they return to the last marks of my trail? |
20418 | Yes, quite, as long as the settlers are here; and you, you will let me know when the priest sets out for Pembina?" |
20418 | You generous? |
20418 | You give life? |
20418 | You help one able help himself? |
20418 | You nearly wrenched my hand off----""Can you blame me?" |
20418 | You wanted to go into that wigwam; did n''t you? |
20418 | You were not meant for feasts, my solemncholy? |
20418 | an''is that you, Father Holland?" |
20418 | came the response in an amused voice,"find it very far? |
20418 | he cried,"mane it? |
20418 | is it really so?" |
20418 | is it you?" |
20418 | man?" |
