11426Are you, indeed?"
11426But 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?"
11426But last night----""Yes, last night?"

11426Does_ he_ give such orders?
11426Feel the wind on your cheek?
11426Had he nothing more to tell her?
11426Had she not heard it in the music of his voice from the first?--the passion of his tones?

11426She exclaimed, in astonishment,"Are you not of the Company?"
11426Since when has the Company confided in Andrew Laviolette, in Wishkobun, in_ you_?"
11426Surely you admit the injustice?"
11426That is a solemn thing, too, is it not?"
11426The hardships of the wilderness are many, the dangers terrible-- what more natural than that a man should die of them in the forest?
11426They have my goods-- but I----""You?"
11426Was 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?

11426Why is that?"
11426Will you not greet me?"
11426Will you promise to do that?"
11426Wo n''t you tell me about it?"

11426Would you like to go to Quebec?"
11426You is come trade dose fur?

11426_ He_?"
11426_ What_ is he?"
11426_ Who_ is he?
11426and where else did you expect to get it?"
11426the dreamy, lyrical swing of his talk by the old bronze guns?
11426whispered the voice, fantastically,"Will she not come?"
21707''Tis vat?
21707A 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?"
21707And Frank, where is Frank?
21707And did they use Peter''s skin for such a purpose?
21707And did you see them do it?
21707And do you not love all the men?
21707And pray who is to defend your poor wife and innocent child in the event of an attack by a band of savage natives?
21707And the baggage, is it laid out? 21707 And what do you think of the non- arrival of Maximus?"
21707And what if they still persist in refusing to go?
21707And what perplexes you now, dear George?
21707And why do you hate him?
21707Any news? 21707 Are n''t we snug, Eda?"
21707Are they far inland?
21707Be- the- bye,resumed Bryan, when the metal was cooled,"has Francois finished that sled for Miss Edith?"
21707Bin, is it? 21707 Bliss yer innocent face, do n''t ye know it''s praties?"
21707But 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?
21707But how came you so opportunely, Prince?
21707But tell me, Massan, what is a dan?
21707But who comes here?
21707Can it be possible?
21707Can you spare Edith for a short time, wife?
21707Come here, Chimo,said Edith, when these symptoms of restlessness had attracted her attention;"what is the matter with you, my dear dog?
21707Come here, Oolibuck; pourquoi is de stick?
21707Come, then, Master Frank,replied Stanley,"what does your sagacity advise on the point of our staying on this sandbank?
21707Could we not run back, Massan?
21707D''ye know, Losh,he resumed,"whin Mister Frank is goin''to the fishery?"
21707D''ye think I''m a haythen?
21707Did any of the men go out alone?
21707Did they see the bundle of presents we left for them at the coast?
21707Did they see you?
21707Did you see goose?
21707Do I lean heavily?
21707Do n''t you hear a strange noise, Frank?
21707Do the dogs of the Huskies eat with their masters?
21707Do they look friendly, think you?
21707Do you hear? 21707 Do you know anything of this, Maximus?
21707Do you really mean to say they are_ afraid_ to go? 21707 Does he never fail in anything, that you are so sure of him?"
21707Has he brought any furs?
21707Have the Allat got her?
21707Have they been long on the coast?
21707Have you been victorious?
21707How say you, Prince? 21707 How''s the old woman, eh?"
21707If the little fellows begin thus, what will not the big ones do?
21707Indeed it is very kind of him, my pet; but all the men seem to be very good to you-- are they not?
21707Is Prince a lazy man, papa?
21707Is he coming, Chimo?
21707Is it to halloo ye want me?
21707Is it true that you saw the men of fire?
21707Is it yer own gun ye''ve got?
21707Is the country we are going to like this, papa?
21707Is your contry resemblance to dat?
21707It''s quite true, though-- isn''t it, Moses?
21707Mane? 21707 May it not be possible,"murmured Stanley, while he leant his brow on his hand,"that she may have gone up False River?"
21707Nay, husband, what think you?
21707None o''the min goin''?
21707O Frank, how can you be so wicked?
21707O my own dear mother,sighed the child aloud, while a tear trickled down each cheek,"shall I never see you more?
21707Och, Losh, Losh, when will ye larn to think nothin''o''yoursilf? 21707 Please, madame, vat you vill have pour dinner?"
21707Pourquoi, why, mon boy? 21707 Rather cold, is it not?"
21707Shall I get in?
21707Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
21707Snug, said you, Jessie? 21707 So you think you would have killed him, do you, if I had not saved you the trouble?"
21707Stuff it down, avic, an''what''s to come o''the wather?
21707Taisin''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?''
21707The kittle, is it? 21707 Then does my father not know where you are, or anything about your having heard of me?"
21707There, Jessie, what think you of that?
21707Timper it better, is it?
21707Vat were dat?
21707Vell, fat you want?
21707Was that all?
21707Well, Frank, what success?
21707Well, then, we had better encamp,said Stanley.--"Is there a proper place, Massan, hereabouts?"
21707Well, what says he?
21707What can have become of papa, I wonder?
21707What do you see, Frank?
21707What does White Heart mean to do with the Eater- of- raw- flesh?
21707What does he mean by that?
21707What have ye in the pot there?
21707What have you to say to me?
21707What is it, Peetoot? 21707 What is it?"
21707What is that man doing?
21707What is the matter, my darling?
21707What shall I do, Frank?
21707What shall we call the fort, Frank?
21707What think ye of that, boy?
21707What think you, Edith?
21707What will you give me?
21707What''s a dan?
21707What''s the matter, Moses? 21707 What''s to be done now?"
21707What''s to be done wid it, Losh? 21707 When did you awake, and begin to suspect that something was wrong?"
21707Where am I, Eda?
21707Where are the Allat? 21707 Where is Bryan, Frank?"
21707Whereabouts was it, Frank, that you fell in with the boat?
21707Which do you consider the old block,retorted Mrs Stanley--"you or me?"
21707Who is he, and wherefore in so great haste?
21707Why do n''t you speak of summer, papa?
21707Why you come for to jine de company?
21707Why, Bryan, what ails you? 21707 Why?
21707Yes, 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?"
21707A salmon must be rather troublesome to toss, but no doubt, with your strong arms, you''ll manage it easily, hey?"
21707All ready, lads?"
21707And is the bed to be of snow too?"
21707And now, captain, when must you start?"
21707And who would have a painting_ all_ light or_ all_ shadow?
21707Are all well?"
21707Are both canoes repaired?"
21707Are we agreed?"
21707Are you better now?"
21707Are you willing?"
21707At length he said,"Could not Dick Prince be spared?"
21707But really the thing does seem to my ignorant mind impossible.--What think you, Eda?"
21707But what have we here?"
21707But who is this you have got beside you?''
21707But wo n''t it be cold, Frank?
21707Could human beings face so wild a storm as this?
21707D''ye hear?"
21707Dear Chimo, where is Frank?"
21707Did they remind you of the fair maid of Derry, hey?"
21707Did you ever see her before?''
21707Did you see traces of Indians or Esquimaux?"
21707Do n''t you think I am too little to shoot a gun off?"
21707Do you advise our remaining?"
21707Do you think Annatock will let me?
21707Do you think it like?"
21707Do you think the girl''s a witch?''
21707Do you understand these marks?"
21707Fat shall ye to do?"
21707Has Prince refused?
21707He was well armed, you say, and amply supplied with provisions?"
21707How can ye expict it to kape its idge when ye lave it for iver lyin''among yer pots and kittles?"
21707How do you think you will like it?"
21707How many have you perpetrated since we were married?"
21707How say you?
21707How you not can temper him edge better?"
21707I doubt it would need a power o''chewin?"
21707Is Chimo safe?
21707Is it like, mamma?
21707Is it not kind of Francois?
21707Is it not so?
21707Is it not so?"
21707Is the distance really short?"
21707It signifies,_ Are you friendly_?
21707Kissing Eda''s forehead she said kindly,--"Which of them do you hate, darling?"
21707Mais, Francois, did you look into the deep clear pool at de foot of de rapid?"
21707Nivertheless I managed to live well enough in the ould cabin wid the murphies--""Vat is murphies?"
21707Observe, I do not say that this is actually the case; I only suggest that it is possible-- may I not add, probable?"
21707Och, Bryan dear, why did ye iver lave yer native land?"
21707Oh, when, when will it come?"
21707Said they anything more, Frank?"
21707Saw you ever a crow with antlers?"
21707Says he,` Bryan, will ye go?''
21707Shall we go, or shall we mutiny?"
21707Shall 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?"
21707Shall we turn back?''
21707Shure a man is better than a baste any day; and besides, had I not a frind at my back ridy to help me?"
21707Speak literally, man: was it a little white girl that you saw?"
21707Tell me, is she in one of the other oomiaks?"
21707The draughts without, Frank, are a little too powerful for the draughts within, I fear.--What, wife, making another coat?
21707The question should have been,` Who will be first to volunteer?''"
21707Then a thrill of fear passed through her breast as the thought occurred,"What if the wolf has attacked and killed him?"
21707Then in an undertone he added,"` Look sharp,''is it ye say?
21707Then, checking him as he was about to commence the work with his hatchet, she said earnestly--"Do spirits really dwell in the springs, Frank?"
21707There''s another,--eh?
21707Vill you give some?''
21707Were they sweet, Bryan?
21707What is''t, man?
21707What 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?"
21707What say you?
21707What shall we call it?"
21707Where am I, Edith?"
21707Where come you from?"
21707Where have you been?"
21707Where is my wife?"
21707Wherein consists the potent charm that draws mankind towards thee with such irresistible affection?
21707Why did she not come with you?"
21707Why do you ask?"
21707Why do you look so excited?
21707Will four days''provisions do?"
21707Will you go in my canoe or walk?"
21707Will you wake and watch?"
21707Would my Eda like to go there?"
21707Would the scalp of yon Eater- of- raw- flesh pay us for coming so far from our hunting- grounds?
21707Ye''ve run out o''baccy, now?
21707Yes, 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?"
21707You know that Monsieur Stanley said he would expect us to be ready with an answer to- night.--What think you, Gaspard?
21707You recollect the hut we built on the lake when I was so badly hurt, and when you were lost, Eda?
21707You shudder at the preposterous idea of such a sight being fitted to rejoice the heart of man in any degree whatever?
21707are Francois, Gaspard, and Massan cowards?"
21707ca n''t ye go stidy?
21707do you understand me?"
21707exclaimed Frank, as the canoe drew near;"does it not look like Maximus-- eh?"
21707exclaimed Frank;"but did any of you see Bryan?
21707exclaimed Stanley, looking out ahead;"what''s that?"
21707exclaimed the Irishman, once more wrinkling up his expressive face, and peering under his palm;"anthlers, say you?
21707how 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?"
21707how is she?
21707how_ can_ you?"
21707how_ can_ you?"
21707is it not a delightful place?"
21707more game?"
21707not at it yet?
21707repeated Frank;"what objections can bold spirits have to go on a bold adventure?
21707said 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?"
21707say you, reader?
21707shall we cross?"
21707shall we make a good day of it?"
21707they exclaimed;"you here?"
21707vat shall I do?"
21707what have we here?"
21707what have we here?"
21707what have we here?"
21707what have ye got there, Maximus?"
21707what have ye got there?"
21707what is it, my dog?
21707what mean you?"
21707what recked he of the consequences?
21707what''s this?"
21707what''s wrong?
21707what''s wrong?"
21707whence came this charger?"
21707where are you taking me to?"
21707who goes there?"
21707why did you do that?"
21707why do n''t you give up eating it raw?"
21707why_ wo n''t_ you have it cooked?"
21707will it come stiff; think ye?"
21707will ye see the poor lad drownded forenint yer two eyes?"
21707you do n''t agree with us?
21753A truce to your jesting, Biarne; what land is it?
21753Ah, then,cried Krake, with a look of great alarm,"what is it going to do?"
21753And O''af too?
21753And are you left behind?
21753And pray what may that be?
21753And pray what may that be?
21753And say,continued Thorward, beginning to[ eat] a large drumstick,"how may_ that_ be done?"
21753And the younger lad, Hake, what of him? 21753 And what may that be?"
21753And what may your advice be?
21753And when do you go?
21753And where does Emma dwell?
21753And who is Karlsefin?
21753And yet it would seem,said Bertha,"that not one is fair enough for you?"
21753And, pray, what good would that do to_ us_?
21753Are not these footsteps descending the ridge?
21753Are our enemies numerous?
21753Are there none of our men possessed of powers that are, at all events, more than those of_ ordinary_ mortals?
21753Are these grapes?
21753Are they not later than usual?
21753Are you content to dwell here?
21753Are you not on viking- cruise?
21753Are you thirsty, Olaf?
21753Art thou sure he saw thee not?
21753At what part of the pool?
21753Ay, so I can, but who could swim with a coil of rope round his neck and legs?
21753Ay, who knows?
21753Bof f''ee?
21753Brother- in- law,exclaimed Gudrid, reproachfully,"do you forget that you are an Icelander?"
21753But are you sure?
21753But what of your own doings, Leif?
21753But why did you not shout before_ him_?
21753But you''ll sing it after Hake has sung, wo n''t you, Krake?
21753But_ is_ it better?
21753By the way, how_ is_ the chief, Bertha?
21753By whose orders?
21753Can the man not swim?
21753Coming towards us?
21753Could n''t see him_ at all_? 21753 Did these men never boast when they were boys?"
21753Did you say that Olaf took the track of the woodcutters?
21753Did you see tents?
21753Do they speak Norse?
21753Do you know, Hake, much about the nature of this new religion that has come amongst us, and made so many people change?
21753Do you mean Bertha''s father?
21753Do you mean what you say?
21753Do you think that Bertha returns Hake''s love?
21753Do you think they really mean to attack us?
21753Do you think they will attack us again?
21753Do you? 21753 Does any one see Olaf?"
21753Does 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?"
21753Does it not remind you of our own dear land?
21753Does it pain you much, dear?
21753Eh?
21753Hast discovered a new fishing- ground, Heika? 21753 Hast fed him?"
21753Hast seen such a brute before?
21753Have you and Heika ever ascended that mad stream?
21753Have you found them?
21753How come you to be so far from home?
21753How did that happen? 21753 How knew he her name?"
21753How now? 21753 How should I know?"
21753How so, boy?
21753How so?
21753I know it-- who should know it so well as his own father?
21753I 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?"
21753If you did not speak it, ye thought it, I doubt not.--But, tell me, is your land as good a land as Norway?
21753If you go, Leif,asked Karlsefin,"will you return and spend the winter with us?"
21753Is all well in Vinland?
21753Is n''t it nice?
21753Is not his flesh and blood the same as thine, his body as well knit together as thine, and as well suited to its purposes?
21753It appears to me as if some plan were rolling in your head, Biarne,said Karlsefin;"what may it be?"
21753It is risky, no doubt; but is not everything more or less risky? 21753 It wants to walk, does it?
21753It was here, was it not,asked Biarne,"that you and your brother saw the salmon leaping on the occasion of your first visit?"
21753Just think,he continued,"what would it do in Greenland without O''af to give it rides and take it out for long walks?"
21753Kill the cat?
21753Know it? 21753 Looks_ that_ like peace?"
21753Milk-- eh? 21753 My men and I shall be able to render you some service, Leif,"said Karlsefin;"what do you intend to do?"
21753Nay, but is it true?
21753Now are ye sure that all is on board-- nothing omitted?
21753Now, friends, was not that a great omission on the part of Karlsefin?
21753Now, is n''t that vexin''?
21753Now, then, Krake,said Tyrker,"tell us the story about that king you were talking of the other day; which was it?
21753Oh why, why did I break my promise?
21753Oh, what do you think?
21753Say you so?
21753Say you so?
21753Say, thou thrall, before refilling that capacious cavern, what had best be done in order to increase our speed?
21753See there, carls; think you that ye could overtake these rascals?
21753Shall we set the nets?
21753Snorro,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?"
21753So you are going off on a sealing expedition, are you?
21753Sure it is n''t pains you''re troubled with?
21753Sure? 21753 Surely ye have not grown afraid of water, Hake?"
21753Tell me, Karlsefin, how is it with yourself?
21753That is bad,replied Leif;"what troubles it?"
21753The boy is sharp beyond his years,said Karlsefin, stopping abruptly and looking at Biarne;"what thinkest thou of that?"
21753The thrall?
21753Their names?
21753Then,pursued Leif,"if the Skraelingers be apparently as good as thou art, how can ye say that they are not worth making much of?"
21753There is some truth in what ye say about gratitude; but what of Hake?
21753There thou art wrong, Anders,said Leif, with much gravity;"does not Flatface love his wife and children as much as you love yours?"
21753Think 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?
21753This is pleasant, is n''t it, Freydissa?
21753To me?
21753True; but this religion is said to change those who profess it-- what if they are not changed?
21753Truly it is,replied Thorward;"but the question is, can this be the set of rascals who carried off the children?
21753W''at''s spiwit?
21753W''at''s_ f''ee_?
21753W''en? 21753 Was he a big one?"
21753Was it not arranged that_ I_ should kill him?
21753Was this right in thee, brother?
21753We could not live separate-- could we, Snorrie?
21753Well, Anders, hast had a visit from Flatface?
21753Well, dost_ thou_ wish to stay?
21753Well, have you told her?
21753Well, 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?"
21753Well, well, Olaf, hold your noisy tongue,said Gudrid, laughing,"and come, tell me how would you like to go to Vinland?"
21753Well-- how were you taken?
21753What are they doing now?
21753What causes the regret just now?
21753What do you advise?
21753What do you see, father?
21753What have you to boast of in Turkey?
21753What is it, Snorrie? 21753 What is that I see?"
21753What is that you say about Bertha?
21753What is that?
21753What news bring you, Biarne? 21753 What now?"
21753What say you, Karlsefin?
21753What splendid man, child?
21753What think you? 21753 What were you going to say?
21753What wild thoughts are these, brother? 21753 What, Vinland?"
21753What, with you_ alone_?
21753What_ is_ the man after now?
21753When are you to be back?
21753Where am I?
21753Whereaway next, Snorrie?
21753Wherefore not?
21753Which way do you hope they will decide?
21753Who knows?
21753Why did ye not bring my son?
21753Why did ye that?
21753Why do n''t you go below,said Freydissa testily,"instead of shivering up here?"
21753Why not include the teeth in your list, brother?
21753Why not?
21753Why, Olaf, what''s this? 21753 Why, Tyrker, where have you been?"
21753Why, how can that be?
21753Why, what ails thee?
21753Why, what has become of your memories, my friends?
21753Why? 21753 Will you hold me responsible if I lose it?"
21753Without overturning?
21753Would they not like beer better?
21753Ye speak in riddles, man; what mean you?
21753You do n''t mean to say we have to go up that maelstrom?
21753You do n''t say that, boy?
21753You think there is no hope?
21753You told us just now,returned Karlsefin,"that you were_ as happy as you could be_, did you not?
21753You will not, I suppose, object to follow, if I lead the way?
21753After all, how could I expect that you would be willing to forsake Bertha and face so great a danger?"
21753And what does Krake care to be the beginning of a new nation?
21753And who has not, at one period or another of life, been led to make comparisons to that step?
21753Are you so eager to get at the grapes that ye think the first land we meet is Vinland?"
21753Are you sure it_ was_ a salmon you saw, and not a large trout?"
21753As he lay there the burden of his thoughts was ever the same--"Oh_ why_ did I do it?
21753Ay, I know it well; why, man, how comes it that this did not occur to me before?
21753Besides, did you not tell me that his hide was tough, and advise me to prick him well?"
21753Biarne is returning, of course?"
21753Biarne says they are very good-- do you think so too?"
21753But how come you to be wandering here alone, Hake?
21753But in regard to Hake--""Ay, in regard to Hake, go on; why dost thou stop?"
21753But what else could we expect from ye?"
21753But what good can wishing do_ now_?
21753But what is the particular view that gives you uneasiness?"
21753But what say Heika and Hake to this?"
21753But what, then, is your advice?"
21753But who comes here in such hot haste?
21753But why do you think this course of action needful?"
21753But, Hake, has your party gone yet?"
21753Come, tell me the story; but, first, who is your father?"
21753Did 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?"
21753Didst fasten the window, wench?"
21753Do n''t you remember how he came to save us from the Skraelingers, and nearly did it too?
21753Do n''t you too?"
21753Do you chance to know where Leif is this morning?"
21753Do you hear?"
21753Do you object to make_ that_ your mark?"
21753Do you see them?"
21753Does he pine for his native land, think ye?"
21753Dost think I am afraid?"
21753Dost think there would be much risk in the voyage thy brother contemplated?"
21753Dost understand?"
21753Freydissa, stormy weather-- eh?"
21753Go, Biarne, let the men spread out-- stay!--Is not this the foot of a man who wears a shoe somewhat different from ours?"
21753Has not that thrall Hake overturned the peace of my sweet kinswoman Bertha?
21753Have any of your men spoken on that subject?"
21753How did he look when he saw you?
21753How did you rescue him?
21753How goes it, Gudrid?"
21753How was that?"
21753I did but say that it seemed strange, and I''m sure that Bertha agrees with me in that-- don''t you, Bertha?"
21753I suppose you deem it more beautiful than Iceland?"
21753If any one chanced to ask the question,"Where is Snorro?"
21753Is he not a better hunter, too, and a faster walker, and fully as much thought of and prized by his kindred?"
21753Is it eaten too much ye have?
21753Is it not so?"
21753Is n''t that nice?
21753Is not the boat ready?
21753Is that what ye want to say?"
21753Is the kettle boiling?"
21753It knows what married means, do n''t it?"
21753Knowest thou aught in regard to it, Heika?"
21753Nay, have I unintentionally touched on a sore point?"
21753Need we remark that, for the time, Olaf and Snorro forgot their sorrow?
21753Need we say that this is the Scottish Earl, the father of our fleet- footed thralls, and that the dark- haired girl is Emma?
21753Of what value is a thrall''s life?
21753Olaf, were you after a salmon?"
21753Perhaps I may go there; but you have not yet answered Gudrid''s question-- would you like to go?"
21753Poor what?"
21753See you the round knot on the stem of yonder pine?
21753See you yonder little bird on the topmost branch of that birch- tree that overhangs the stream?
21753See you yonder rock-- the largest-- where the foam breaks most fiercely, as if in wrath because it can not overleap it?
21753Shall we listen to what our friends say?
21753Tell me how was it, and when and where was it?
21753Tell me, Biarne, didst thou poison the ears of Freydissa by telling her that I had been courting thy cousin Astrid?"
21753The longer he walked the sadder he grew, and at last he groaned rather than said,"What_ shall_ I do?"
21753There was silence for some minutes, which was broken at length by a very small voice saying:--"''Norro go to G''eenland too?"
21753Turning again to him, he said--"You know the kitchen, Flatface?"
21753We struggled hard, but what could two unarmed men do among fifty?
21753What does it think?"
21753What he said-- who can tell?
21753What is thy thought, Biarne?"
21753What is your advice, Leif?"
21753What more unlikely than that Karlsefin should forsake the religion of his fathers?
21753What say you, Hake?
21753What shall I say?
21753What venture do ye intend?"
21753What would ye more?
21753What''s lost?"
21753What''s the matter?"
21753What, then, do you think, is wisest to be done?"
21753What_ shall_ I do?
21753When 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?''
21753When the ship was near enough Leif shouted--"Is Olaf on board?"
21753Where are Thora and Astrid?"
21753Where did you find him?
21753Where got you this tankard, Leif, it is very massive and the workmanship such as one seldom meets with save in kings''houses?"
21753Who ever heard of a man crossing the ocean in a small boat?"
21753Who ever heard of a man running a race with a full stomach-- much less winning it?
21753Who has not heard of that solitary step which lies between the sublime and the ridiculous?
21753Who knows but that it may be as large as Norway?
21753Who knows but the land may wear a prettier dress when the mantle of winter is gone?
21753Why did I disobey?"
21753Why did you not do it?"
21753Why do you wish to make it?"
21753Why might we not multiply such signs?
21753Why so?"
21753Why, Swend, what''s i''the wind now?"
21753Will these men of Iceland decide to return home or to remain here?"
21753Will you lend it to me?"
21753Will you take_ me_?"
21753Wouldst like to see a Scotsman, Gudrid?"
21753` Who will go with me to Greenland?''
21753am not_ I_ ready, and is not the opportunity favourable?"
21753and I suppose ye think a Scottish earl is better than a Norse king?"
21753and shall I leave you to face this enterprise alone?
21753cried Freydissa, diving again into the tub;"do you call that weeping?
21753cried Heika,"how can ye couple our native land with such a matter- o''-fact thought as dinner?"
21753did 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?"
21753did not I say that he could tell you?"
21753does Karlsefin condescend to turn eavesdropper?"
21753echoed Hake;"why, what craven spirit has come over thee?
21753echoed the boy, turning an ardent gaze full on Karlsefin,"are you going there, sir?
21753exclaimed Hake, flushing,--"What?
21753he cried, laying his hand on Heika''s shoulder, on recovering himself;"was it wise to treat me thus like a child?"
21753is it the ship of a friend or a foe?"
21753is it tired?"
21753may I go with you?"
21753said Thorward with a suppressed chuckle;"and how, my bold youth, if thou art observed and caught before getting hold of the children?"
21753shall I draw back like a coward at the last moment, after pledging my word to go?
21753suppose we shove it down on the bear?"
21753what is her name?"
21753wilt thou carry her off whether she will or no?"
21753you''re not sorry to see land, are you?"
21753you_ 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?
6357All right,cried Harry, suppressing his feelings with a strong effort;"what next?"
6357An''p''r''aps you''ve heerd tell of his first trip of discovery along the shores of the Polar Sea?
6357An''please, master,put in Jacques,"when do you mean to let us off from this place?
6357An''where has''e been took to?
6357And Misconna?
6357And did you never see him again?
6357And did you not undeceive the greenhorn?
6357And do you intend to do so?
6357And does Jacques know he is here?
6357And does she agree?
6357And how much will that be?
6357And no one else?
6357And pray what is_ that_?
6357And pray, good Redfeather, what did your thoughts tell you?
6357And pray, how far do you think we may now be from that place?
6357And the black mare, can he not have that?
6357And the new horse?
6357And what of Charley?
6357And what was the result?
6357And why not with a red Indian, friend?
6357And your name?
6357And, pray, what dog-- what miserable thieving cur are you, who dare to address me thus?
6357Anon?
6357Any bark knocked off?
6357Anything else?
6357Anything more, Antoine?
6357But are you still thought a poor warrior?
6357But are you sure it wo n''t do you harm to talk? 6357 But do you think it_ really_ is one?"
6357But tell me, Charley, why do you care about Mrs. Grant seeing you?
6357But what has all this to do with Peterkin?
6357By all means-- Ho, Redfeather; are you trying to stop the wind by looking it out of countenance?
6357By- the- by, you''re going over to the missionary''s place to- morrow, are you not?
6357Can it be possible?
6357Could anything on earth break up or sink or melt that?
6357Could he not try the new horse?
6357Could n''t he have the brown pony?
6357Dear me, Harry, what''s wrong? 6357 Dear me, what has happened?"
6357Did Francois get better?
6357Did I ring for you, eh?
6357Did n''t I say so?
6357Did you ever explain to him the prospects that he would have in the situation you propose for him?
6357Did you ever point out the probable end of a life spent in the woods?
6357Did you ever trap a fox, Harry?
6357Did''e not say w''en''e''d be home?
6357Did_ he_ sing of niggers?
6357Do ducks travel in canoes hereabouts?
6357Do with it? 6357 Do you ever think of building a hut in such a spot as this, Jacques, and settling down altogether?"
6357Do you know any of the Indians who are so anxious to vent their spleen on our worthy bourgeois?
6357Do you mean to say that people''s heels really freeze and fall off?
6357Do you refer to the time when he was nearly starved to death, and when poor Hood was shot by the Indian?
6357Do you see_ that_?
6357Do you think he''s not open to persuasion?
6357Do you think much of home, Charley, now that you have left it?
6357Do? 6357 Do?"
6357Do_ what_ for me?
6357Eh, what''s that? 6357 First of all, friend,"continued Harry,"do you belong to the fort here?"
6357Fond as ever of smoking, Louis?
6357Had I not better tell Tom Whyte to saddle the young horse for you?
6357Had 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?
6357Have the Indians, then, used any open threats?
6357Have we seen the worst of it?
6357Have you no place in the world to fight but_ here_? 6357 Have you slept well, darling?"
6357Have you told my father that she does?
6357He 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?"
6357How are the heels now, Hamilton?
6357How do you mean to act, Jacques?
6357How do your feet stand it, eh? 6357 How many traps have you?"
6357How much did yon give him?
6357How shall I keep the canoe''s head, Jacques?
6357How so, girl?
6357How so?
6357How so?
6357How will the snow help us?
6357I say, Jacques, is yon a cloud or a wreath of smoke above the trees in the creek?
6357I say, Jacques,said Charley, pulling up once more,"how do you get on?
6357I should like of all things to be introduced to the bold hunter.--Another cup of tea, Mr. S- Harry, I mean?
6357Indeed it is; but, then, what can you do?
6357Is it not likely that Misconna may have crossed the river already? 6357 Is that it, eh?"
6357Is the man mad?
6357Is the portage a long one?
6357Is the scoundrel caught?
6357Is there a good place at the other end to camp on?
6357Kate, 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?"
6357No, not till the parson comes,interrupted Mr. Kennedy, convulsing his left cheek.--"Hollo, Charley, where are you?
6357Nor suggest to him that the appointment to the office here would only be temporary, and to see how he got on in it?
6357Now is n''t that a bore?
6357Now then, what say you to going farther out on the river, and making a snow trap for white foxes?
6357Now, you bad boy,said Kate,"why_ wo n''t_ you try to rest?"
6357O Charley,she continued,"why_ wo n''t_ you stay?"
6357Oh, and pray for what_ purpose_ have you come here?
6357Please, sir,began Tom, with a slightly disconcerted air,"I''m afeared, sir, that-- um--""Well, Tom, what would you say?
6357Pray, who did you leave to that delightful fate?
6357Say you so? 6357 Shall we get over in time, Louis?"
6357Strange,said his friend;"what_ can_ it be?"
6357Thank 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?"
6357That''s a spirited horse, Kate,said Charley, as they ambled along;"have you had him long?"
6357That''s no reason,replied Charley,"why you should knock out all my front teeth, is it?"
6357The pipe, sir,said Tom, growing still more disconcerted--"says I to cook, says I,''Cook, wot''s been an''done it, d''ye think?''
6357Then do you think, master, that a man should_ never_ tell a lie, no matter what fix he may be in?
6357Then you know how to_ set_ a trap?
6357Thrusting 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?''
6357Tom,said the senior clerk,"do you think we could manage to mount Charley to- morrow?"
6357True; 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?
6357Very 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?"
6357Well, Hamilton,said Harry, throwing off his reverie with a deep sigh,"are you glad to leave York Fort, or sorry?"
6357Well, 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?"
6357Well, but ca n''t you do that here?
6357Well, my boy,said he, seating himself on the bedside and taking his son''s hand,"how goes it now?
6357Well, then, you must understand--"Must I? 6357 What can that be?"
6357What can the Injin mean, I wonder?
6357What did you give him?
6357What do you think of my friend there?
6357What do you think of_ that_, old fellow? 6357 What does?"
6357What prevented him coming with you, as you tell me he intended?
6357What say you to a walk through the woods to North River, Harry?
6357What shall we do, Harry? 6357 What should we do,"inquired the former,"if the plain were five or six miles broad?"
6357What think you now, Louis?
6357What was Redfeather thinking about?
6357What would you advise then?
6357What''s in the wind now?
6357What''s to be done?
6357What''s wrong now, Hammy?
6357What''s yon ahead?
6357What_ can_ it have been? 6357 What_ is_ comfort?
6357Where are your traps set?
6357Where do you come from then, and what''s your name?
6357Where is it?
6357Where''s the brown pony?
6357Where? 6357 Which?
6357Who am I to say did it?
6357Who can it be, I wonder?
6357Who does this belong to?
6357Who?
6357Why did n''t you bring him up without shoes, man, eh?
6357Why not?
6357Why, how came that about?
6357Why, how was that? 6357 Why, that''s another wolf, is n''t it?
6357Why? 6357 Will Mr. Charles speak for me?"
6357Will that do?
6357Will you just look at yonder rock ahead of us, and tell me what you see?
6357Will_ you_ come, Hamilton?
6357Would n''t it be a disinterested piece of kindness if you were to say it was yourself?
6357Would you like to go with us, Charley?
6357Yes; but how are we to catch them?
6357You 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?"
6357You knew a Charley Kennedy in the Saskatchewan, did you?
6357You''re not afraid of a fight, are you, Hamilton?
6357You''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?
635730--30--not blankets, eh?"
6357And Wabisca, what came of her?
6357And 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?
6357And who do you think this man Jacques is?
6357Are you aware, Hammy my boy, that the Saskatchewan district is a sort of terrestrial paradise, and Mackenzie River equivalent to Botany Bay?"
6357At last he said slowly--"Think of home?
6357Ay or no, lass: which is''t to be?''
6357Beginning to lose bark yet?"
6357But is n''t it, now, really a_ very_ hard case?"
6357But now, Kate, tell me, what do you think of father''s determination to have me placed in the office here?"
6357But tell me, Harry, have you spoken to Kate herself?"
6357But tell me, doctor, what do you mean to do with that lump of snow there?"
6357But tell me,''she added with still deeper anxiety,''does the white- feather come alone?
6357But who do you think can be_ en route_ so late?"
6357Can you forgive me, Kate?"
6357Charles?"
6357Charley assisted his friend to rise, and led him slowly back to the house, as he replied,--"Do, my boy?
6357Charley 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?
6357Come now, Charley, what think you of it?"
6357Could n''t you tell me to look at the fire without the preliminary piece of advice to_ compose_ myself?
6357Could we not give it one trial more?
6357Did Misconna get her?"
6357Did he give you any hint as to where you might be sent to after reaching Norway House?"
6357Did you ever get it?
6357Did you ever hear of what he did the summer before last with an Indian''s head?"
6357Do n''t lose sight of me for a moment, and if you do by chance, give a shout; d''ye hear?"
6357Do 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?"
6357Do n''t you think it would be more pleasant?
6357Do you feel inclined for a walk?"
6357Do you feel queer, Harry?"
6357Do you think so, Jacques?"
6357Does he approach_ friends_ during the dark hours with a soft step like a fox?''
6357Does n''t the road take a turn there?
6357Grant, my fine fellow, how are you?"
6357Hang it, where''s my handkerchief?"
6357Has the brave boy''s heart changed into that of a girl?''
6357Have I not broken in young colts by the score?
6357Have they come yet?"
6357Have you got a tent?"
6357Have you no other?"
6357He has got a will of his own; and if you do not give him his way, I very much fear that he''ll--""What?"
6357Head getting all right again?
6357Home?
6357How are the heels?
6357How could they know better?
6357How far off is it?"
6357How''s that?"
6357I fear that Kate has been talking too much to you.--Is it so, you little chatterbox?"
6357I 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?"
6357I have only been on him once before.--Would he make a good buffalo- runner, Jacques?"
6357I thank you, indeed, very much; but I-- a--""Do n''t like the desk?"
6357I''ve been waiting for you for months; why did you keep me so long, eh?
6357Is Charley Kennedy before me-- or his ghost?"
6357Is Kate there?"
6357Is he not a wonderful man, to have come through so much in his old age?
6357Is it better to die than to speak falsehood?"
6357Is it not so?"
6357Is n''t there something quite awful in them, Harry?"
6357Is that it?"
6357Is that it?"
6357Is that your desire?"
6357Is the horse too wild to ride?"
6357It is snowing, too, very heavily, and I think you said that North River was five miles off, did you not?"
6357Jacques, my good fellow, is that you?--Redfeather, my friend, how are you?"
6357Must I sit here till it is all consumed?"
6357Now 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?''
6357Now, wot I want to know is, wot''s the reason why?"
6357Of course you forgot me, and everybody and everything on earth, just now; but have you seen Kate?
6357Oho, Antoine!--By the way, Louis, have you seen Annette lately?"
6357Pray, who placed that piece of snow over the door?"
6357Pretty well stuffed by this time, I should imagine?"
6357Rather sore, eh?
6357Send him off to the woods with gun and blanket, canoe and tent, all complete?"
6357Shall we, Charley?"
6357Surely it is not an evidence of laziness, my endeavouring to render these instruments of torture less tormenting?
6357Tell me, Jacques, is there no way of escape?
6357Thanks.--Do you think you''re up to that, Hammy?"
6357That would not be sticking to truth, Jacques, would it?"
6357That''s pleasant!--What think you, Hammy?"
6357The 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?"
6357W''at''s wrong, sir?"
6357Well, how much will you have?"
6357Were you with them?"
6357What brought you here?"
6357What did you mean by it, eh?''
6357What did you say_ struck_ you, Harry, my lad?"
6357What have you to say?"
6357What 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?
6357What think you of it?"
6357What was to prevent his being dug up?
6357What''s the use of thinking so long about it, eh?
6357What_ could_ have possessed her to take such a husband?
6357What_ is_ to be done?"
6357When were you reduced to that direful extremity?"
6357Where did you say you left him?"
6357Where is it?''
6357Where''s Kate, eh?
6357Where''s Kate, eh?
6357Why, what do you mean?"
6357Why, what_ is_ comfort?"
6357Would it not be better to set it up first?"
6357Would you like supper before we go, or shall we have it on our return?"
6357Would you not like me to stay with you?"
6357You 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?"
6357You might write an essay on it now, and call it the extraordinary effects of a fall of snow in latitude so and so, eh?
6357You recollect him, father?"
6357You''ve heard of an Indian called Misconna?"
6357You''ve heard of old Labontà ©, who used to carry one of the winter packets from Red River until within a few years back?"
6357and do n''t I know that the way to fix their flints is to clap on a good strong curb?"
6357asked Charley, somewhat anxiously;"not Mrs. Grant, I hope?
6357ca n''t swim?"
6357cried Harry, as he placed the kettle on the fire--"strange to be hungry after a five miles''walk and a night in the snow?
6357cried Harry,"what''s the row?"
6357cried Mr. Kennedy, turning sharply round and seizing Harry by the collar,"why d''you kick up such a row, eh?"
6357cried the senior clerk, losing all patience;"ca n''t you answer me without so much talk?
6357do n''t you hear a cry, Harry?"
6357do you feel quite strong enough?"
6357eh, blackguards?"
6357eh,"exclaimed the individual thus addressed, returning Harry''s gripe and stare with interest,"is it possible?
6357ejaculated Charley;"did anyone see me, Kate?"
6357exclaimed Kennedy,"and do you mean to argue from that, that I should let Charley run-- and_ help_ him too?
6357exclaimed the former,"have you got the miller''s pony for me?"
6357have you eaten it?"
6357he cried, standing over the crestfallen Indian with flushed face and flashing eyes,"how dare you thus treat the creatures of God?"
6357he exclaimed, suspending his operations for a moment,"what''s up?"
6357he said at length, stepping forward and confronting me,''will you wrestle?''
6357is n''t it strange?"
6357or thirty knives, or thirty copper kettles?"
6357said 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?"
6357shall we send for her?"
6357what cheer?"
6357what do you mean?"
6357what do you mean?"
6357what think ye of that, my boy?"
6357what''s going on yonder?"
6357what''s that?
6357what-- where?"
6357what?"
6357where is it?"
6357where''s Hamilton?"
6357where''s the kettle, Hamilton?
6357where?
6357why do I waste ink on so hopeless a task?
21712Ah, some beads and silks, eh? 21712 All right,"cried Harry, suppressing his feelings with a strong effort;"what next?"
21712An''p''r''aps you''ve heerd tell of his first trip of discovery along the shores of the Polar Sea?
21712An''please, master,put in Jacques,"when do you mean to let us off from this place?
21712An''where has''e been took to?
21712And Misconna?
21712And did you never see him again?
21712And did you not undeceive the greenhorn?
21712And do you intend to do so?
21712And does Jacques know he is here?
21712And does she agree?
21712And how much will that be?
21712And no one else?
21712And pray what is_ that_?
21712And pray, good Redfeather, what did your thoughts tell you?
21712And the black mare, can he not have that?
21712And the new horse?
21712And what of Charley?
21712And what was the result?
21712And why not with a red Indian, friend?
21712And woman too,interrupted Harry.--"Eh, Hamilton, what say you?
21712And your name?
21712And, pray, how far do you think we may now be from that place?
21712And, pray, what dog-- what miserable, thieving cur-- are you, who dare to address me thus?
21712Anon?
21712Any bark knocked off?
21712Anything else?
21712Anything more, Antoine?
21712But are you still thought a poor warrior?
21712But are you sure it wo n''t do you harm to talk? 21712 But do you think it_ really_ is one?"
21712But tell me, Charley, why do you care about Mrs Grant seeing you?
21712But what has all this to do with Peterkin?
21712By- the- bye, you''re going over to the missionary''s place to- morrow, are you not?
21712Can it be possible?
21712Could anything on earth break up or sink or melt that?
21712Could he not try the new horse?
21712Could n''t he have the brown pony?
21712Dear me, Harry, what''s wrong? 21712 Dear me, what has happened?"
21712Did Francois get better?
21712Did I ring for you, eh?
21712Did he sing of niggers?
21712Did n''t I say so?
21712Did you ever explain to him the prospects that he would have in the situation you propose for him?
21712Did you ever point out the probable end of a life spent in the woods?
21712Did you ever trap a fox, Harry?
21712Did''e not say w''en''e''d be''ome?
21712Do ducks travel in canoes hereabouts?
21712Do with it? 21712 Do you ever think of building a hut in such a spot as this, Jacques, and settling down altogether?"
21712Do you know any of the Indians who are so anxious to vent their spleen on our worthy bourgeois?
21712Do you mean to say that people''s heels really freeze and fall off?
21712Do you refer to the time when he was nearly starved to death, and when poor Hood was shot by the Indian?
21712Do you see_ that_?
21712Do you think he''s not open to persuasion?
21712Do you think much of home, Charley, now that you have left it?
21712Do? 21712 Do?"
21712Do_ what_ for me?
21712Done? 21712 Eh, what''s that?
21712First of all, friend,continued Harry,"do you belong to the fort here?"
21712Fond as ever of smoking, Louis?
21712Had I not better tell Tom Whyte to saddle the young horse for you?
21712Had we not better make our trap here, then? 21712 Have the Indians, then, used any open threats?"
21712Have we seen the worst of it?
21712Have you no place in the world to fight but_ here_--eh, blackguards?
21712Have you slept well, darling?
21712Have you told my father that she does?
21712He 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?"
21712How are the heels now, Hamilton?
21712How do you mean to act, Jacques?
21712How do your feet stand it, eh? 21712 How many traps have you?"
21712How much did you give him?
21712How shall I keep the canoe''s head, Jacques?
21712How so, girl?
21712How so?
21712How so?
21712How will the snow help us?
21712I say, Jacques, is yon a cloud or a wreath of smoke above the trees in the creek?
21712I say, Jacques,said Charley, pulling up once more,"how do you get on?
21712I should like of all things to be introduced to the bold hunter.--Another cup of tea, Mr S-- Harry, I mean?
21712Indeed it is; but then, what can you do?
21712Is it not likely that Misconna may have crossed the river already? 21712 Is that it, eh?"
21712Is the man mad?
21712Is the portage a long one?
21712Is there a good place at the other end to camp on?
21712Kate, 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?"
21712No, never; what was it?
21712No, not till the parson comes,interrupted Mr Kennedy, convulsing his left cheek.--"Hollo, Charley, where are you?
21712Nor suggest to him that the appointment to the office here would only be temporary, and to see how he got on in it?
21712Now, is n''t that a bore?
21712Now, then, what say you to going farther out on the river, and making a snow trap for white foxes?
21712Now, you bad boy,said Kate,"why_ wo n''t_ you try to rest?"
21712O Charley,she continued,"why_ wo n''t_ you stay?"
21712Please, sir,began Tom, with a slightly disconcerted air,"I''m afeard, sir, that-- um--""Well, Tom, what would you say?
21712Pray, who did you leave to that delightful fate?
21712Say you so? 21712 Shall we get over in time, Louis?"
21712Strange,said his friend;"what_ can_ it be?"
21712Thank 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?"
21712That''s a spirited horse, Kate,said Charley, as they ambled along;"have you had him long?"
21712That''s no reason,replied Charley,"why you should knock out all my front teeth, is it?"
21712The pipe, sir,said Tom, growing still more disconcerted--"says I to cook, says I,` Cook, wot''s been an''done it, d''ye think?''
21712Then do you think, master, that a man should_ never_ tell a lie, no matter what fix he may be in?
21712Then you know how to_ set_ a trap?
21712Thrusting 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?''
21712Tom,said the senior clerk,"do you think we could manage to mount Charley to- morrow?"
21712Very 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?"
21712Well, Hamilton,said Harry, throwing off his reverie with a deep sigh,"are you glad to leave York Fort, or sorry?"
21712Well, 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?"
21712Well, my boy,said he, seating himself on the bedside and taking his son''s hand,"how goes it now?
21712Well, then, you must understand--"Must I? 21712 What can that be?"
21712What can the Injin mean, I wonder?
21712What did you give him?
21712What do you think of my friend there?
21712What do you think of_ that_, old fellow? 21712 What does?"
21712What prevented him coming with you, as you tell me he intended?
21712What say you to a walk through the woods to North River, Harry?
21712What shall we do, Harry? 21712 What should we do,"inquired the former,"if the plain were five or six miles broad?"
21712What think you now, Louis?
21712What was Redfeather thinking about?
21712What would you advise, then?
21712What''s in the wind now?
21712What''s to be done?
21712What''s wrong now, Hammy?
21712What''s yon ahead?
21712What_ can_ it have been? 21712 What_ is_ comfort?
21712Where are your traps set?
21712Where do you come from, then, and what''s your name?
21712Where is it?
21712Where''s the brown pony?
21712Where? 21712 Which?
21712Who am I to say did it?
21712Who can it be, I wonder?
21712Who does this belong to?
21712Who?
21712Why did n''t you bring him up without shoes, man, eh?
21712Why not?
21712Why, how came that about?
21712Why, how was that? 21712 Why, that''s another wolf, is n''t it?
21712Why? 21712 Will Mr Charles speak for me?"
21712Will that do?
21712Will_ you_ come, Hamilton?
21712Would n''t it be a disinterested piece of kindness if you were to say it was yourself?
21712Would you like to go with us, Charley?
21712Yes; but how are we to catch them?
21712You 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?"
21712You have something to tell, Redfeather,said Jacques, in a subdued tone, after regarding him a few seconds;"is the scoundrel caught?"
21712You knew a Charley Kennedy in the Saskatchewan, did you?
21712You''re not afraid of a fight, are you, Hamilton?
21712You''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?
21712And Wabisca, what came of her?
21712And 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?
21712And who do you think this man Jacques is?
21712Are you aware, Hammy, my boy, that the Saskatchewan district is a sort of terrestrial paradise, and Mackenzie River equivalent to Botany Bay?"
21712At last he said slowly--"Think of home?
21712Ay or no, lass; which is''t to be?''
21712Beginning to lose bark yet?"
21712But is n''t it, now, really a_ very_ hard case?"
21712But now, Kate, tell me, what do you think of father''s determination to have me placed in the office here?"
21712But tell me, Harry, have you spoken to Kate herself?"
21712But tell me, doctor, what do you mean to do with that lump of snow there?"
21712But tell me,''she added, with still deeper anxiety,` does the white- feather come alone?
21712But who do you think can be_ en route_ so late?"
21712But you spoke of eating your shoes, Jacques; when were you reduced to that direful extremity?"
21712Can you forgive me, Kate?"
21712Charley assisted his friend to rise, and led him slowly back to the house, as he replied--"Do, my boy?
21712Charley 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?
21712Come now, Charley, what think you of it?"
21712Could we not give it one trial more?
21712Did Misconna get her?"
21712Did he give you any hint as to where you might be sent to after reaching Norway House?"
21712Did you ever get it?
21712Did you ever hear of what he did the summer before last with an Indian''s head?"
21712Did you ever try to look pale and frightened, Mr Charles?"
21712Do n''t lose sight of me for a moment, and if you do by chance, give a shout; d''ye hear?"
21712Do 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?"
21712Do n''t you think it would be more pleasant?
21712Do you feel inclined for a walk?"
21712Do you feel queer, Harry?"
21712Do you think so, Jacques?"
21712Does he approach_ friends_ during the dark hours with a soft step like a fox?''
21712Does n''t the road take a turn there?
21712Grant, my fine fellow, how are you?"
21712Hang it, where''s my handkerchief?"
21712Has the brave boy''s heart changed into that of a girl?''
21712Have I not broken in young colts by the score?
21712Have they come yet?"
21712Have you got a tent?"
21712Have you no other?"
21712He has got a will of his own; and if you do not give him his way, I very much fear that he''ll--""What?"
21712Head getting all right again?
21712Home?
21712How are the heels?
21712How far off is it?"
21712How''s that?"
21712I fear that Kate has been talking too much to you.--Is it so, you little chatterbox?"
21712I 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?"
21712I have only been on him once before.--Would he make a good buffalo- runner, Jacques?"
21712I thank you, indeed, very much; but I-- a--""Do n''t like the desk?"
21712I''ve been waiting for you for months; why did you keep me so long, eh?
21712Is Charley Kennedy before me-- or his ghost?"
21712Is Kate there?"
21712Is he not a wonderful man, to have come through so much in his old age?
21712Is it better to die than to speak falsehood?"
21712Is it not so?"
21712Is n''t there something quite awful in them, Harry?"
21712Is that it?"
21712Is that it?"
21712Is that your desire?"
21712Is the horse too wild to ride?"
21712It is snowing, too, very heavily, and I think you said that North River was five miles off, did you not?"
21712Jacques, my good fellow, is that you?--Redfeather, my friend, how are you?"
21712Must I sit here till it is all consumed?"
21712Now 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?''
21712Now, wot I want to know is, wot''s the reason why?"
21712Of course you forgot me, and everybody and everything on earth, just now; but have you seen Kate?
21712Oho, Antoine!--By the way, Louis, have you seen Annette lately?"
21712Pray, who placed that piece of snow over the door?"
21712Pretty well stuffed by this time, I should imagine?"
21712Rather sore, eh?
21712Send him off to the woods with gun and blanket, canoe and tent, all complete?"
21712Shall we, Charley?"
21712Surely it is not an evidence of laziness my endeavouring to render these instruments of torture less tormenting?
21712Tell me, Jacques, is there no way of escape?
21712Thanks.--Do you think you''re up to that, Hammy?"
21712That would not be sticking to truth, Jacques, would it?"
21712That''s pleasant!--What think you, Hammy?"
21712The 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?"
21712W''at''s wrong, sir?"
21712Well, how much will you have?"
21712Were you with them?"
21712What brought you here?"
21712What did you mean by it, eh?''
21712What did you say_ struck_ you, Harry, my lad?"
21712What have you to say?"
21712What 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?
21712What think you of it?"
21712What was to prevent his being dug up?
21712What''s the use of thinking so long about it, eh?
21712What_ is_ to be done?"
21712Where did you say you left him?"
21712Where is it?''
21712Where''s Kate, eh?
21712Where''s Kate, eh?
21712Who ever heard of a man being supported by his old father?"
21712Why, what do you mean?"
21712Why, what_ is_ comfort?"
21712Would it not be better to set it up first?"
21712Would you like supper before we go, or shall we have it on our return?"
21712Would you not like me to stay with you?"
21712You 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?"
21712You might write an essay on it now, and call it the extraordinary effects of a fall of snow in latitude so and so, eh?
21712You recollect him, father?"
21712You tell me that you have met with my friend Redfeather?"
21712You''ve heard of an Indian called Misconna?"
21712You''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?
21712and do n''t I know that the way to fix their flints is to clap on a good strong curb?"
21712and pray for what_ purpose_ have you come here?"
21712are you trying to stop the wind by looking it out of countenance?"
21712asked Charley, somewhat anxiously;"not Mrs Grant, I hope?
21712ca n''t swim?"
21712cried Harry, as he placed the kettle on the fire--"strange to be hungry after a five miles''walk and a night in the snow?
21712cried Harry,"what''s the row?"
21712cried Mr Kennedy, seizing his young friend by the hand;"how are you, lad?
21712cried Mr Kennedy, turning sharply round and seizing Harry by the collar,"why d''you kick up such a row, eh?"
21712cried the senior clerk, losing all patience;"ca n''t you answer me without so much talk?
21712do n''t you hear a cry, Harry?"
21712do you feel quite strong enough?"
21712eh,"exclaimed the individual thus addressed, returning Harry''s gripe and stare with interest,"is it possible?
21712ejaculated Charley;"did any one see me, Kate?"
21712exclaimed Kennedy,"and do you mean to argue from that, that I should let Charley run-- and_ help_ him too?
21712exclaimed the former,"have you got the miller''s pony for me?"
21712have you eaten it?"
21712have you not learned that yet?"
21712he cried again, while his eyes flashed fiercely, and he grasped me by the arm,` will you wrestle, or are you afraid?
21712he cried, standing over the crestfallen Indian with flushed face and flashing eyes,"how dare you thus treat the creatures of God?"
21712he exclaimed, suspending his operations for a moment,"what''s up?"
21712he said at length, stepping forward and confronting me,` will you wrestle?''
21712how could they know better?
21712is n''t it strange?"
21712or thirty knives, or thirty copper kettles?"
21712said 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?"
21712said Mactavish, pointing sarcastically to an entry in the previous account--"5_ yards of superfine Annette_?
21712shall we send for her?"
21712what cheer?"
21712what do you mean?"
21712what do you mean?"
21712what think ye of that, my boy?"
21712what''s going on yonder?"
21712what''s that?
21712what-- where?"
21712what?"
21712where is it?"
21712where''s Hamilton?"
21712where''s the kettle, Hamilton?
21712where?
21712why do I waste ink on so hopeless a task?
30925A chance for my life?
30925Accomplish 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?
30925And Miss Fitzpatrick? 30925 And this-- this son you speak of, is--?"
30925And what was this duty, pray?
30925And you leave me, her father, out of it? 30925 And you, Braithwaite?"
30925And, if you do,he asked,"how about-- Jean?"
30925Are you a man or a stick,she complained,"that you let the blood of your brother go unavenged?
30925Are you really glad, princess?
30925But I ca n''t resist him, and have my whole family dragged through the mud, can I?
30925But before he came to York factory? 30925 But how did you know it?"
30925But why did n''t he come and tell me?
30925But why do you, of all people, come with this message?
30925But 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?"
30925Ca 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?
30925Ca n''t you wait to see my father until later? 30925 Can anything else come to me?"
30925Can we hold out a week longer?
30925Can you tell me where Charley Seguis is?
30925Could he give any motive for the deed?
30925Did Burns Riley write and sign that?
30925Did he leave any message for me?
30925Did he tell you so?
30925Did n''t I hear somebody call you McTavish?
30925Did n''t you give Tom an awful thrashing a little while back?
30925Did you come for that purpose especially?
30925Did you ever see a face with such glory in it all your life? 30925 Did you get a chance to look over those furs?
30925Did you kill Cree Johnny?
30925Do 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?
30925Do 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?
30925Do you know why I came to see you today?
30925Do you mean to stand there and say that you demand that I tell you something?
30925Do you think it is good talk, and that the old woman did the trick? 30925 Do you, really?"
30925Does he want to drown?
30925Donald, what about me?
30925Evil reports about me?
30925Father,began the girl, coming straight to the point,"do you know an old Ojibway squaw by the name of Maria?"
30925For heaven''s sake, Cap, let me wing Seguis this time, wo n''t you?
30925Going to set out a new line of traps then, was he?
30925H- m, I see,he remarked quietly,"and you bring the answer?"
30925Has n''t he told you?
30925Has she the certificate?
30925Have another mouth to feed all winter, while the owner of it stays idle? 30925 Have you a pencil with you?"
30925Have you been drinking again?
30925Have you that paper with you?
30925Here, you in the corner, get up, and let''s see who you are?
30925How 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?"
30925How can you try me on such a charge when you are here avowedly at war? 30925 How did he know?"
30925How do you know they have disappeared from my district?
30925How do you know this?
30925How is the situation down there now?
30925How long were you with my father?
30925How many people are there?
30925How so? 30925 How soon will this travesty take place?"
30925How will she be ruined?
30925How''s this?
30925How? 30925 I am afraid-- I must tell you-- Miss Jean-- Oh, what can I say?"
30925I expect there''ll be action pretty soon, wo n''t there?
30925I 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?
30925I suppose you know that half- breed, Charley Seguis, in your district? 30925 I''ll marry Jean this afternoon, providing she will have me?"
30925If it were n''t for you, where would the McTavishes be? 30925 If you do n''t know, who does?"
30925In heaven''s name, what''s the matter? 30925 In reference to this Charley Seguis, whom I failed to bring in?"
30925Is he dead now?
30925Is that final?
30925Is the Reverend Mr. Gates in the camp?
30925Is the factor really sick this time?
30925Jean,he said harshly,"what does this mean?
30925Just what do you mean by that, my friend?
30925Just where were you when you heard the shot, as you claim?
30925Let me have my pencil and note- book, will you? 30925 Let me talk a moment with my men, will you?"
30925Life and death?
30925Look here, McTavish, why do n''t you make your get- away now?
30925Look here, boys, you''re not going to try and put that Indian''s death on me, are you?
30925Maria who? 30925 Master, master, what is it?"
30925May I see it?
30925No? 30925 Not the lost one, Mac?"
30925Now, 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?"
30925Now, tell me why you want this letter back?
30925Of course, Dr. Craven from the fort is there?
30925Oh, 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?
30925Oh, what is it, Donald? 30925 Oh, yes, who''s got the fever?
30925Oh,she gasped breathlessly,"I suppose you think I''m awful, do n''t you, Captain?"
30925Or what?
30925Out in the woods? 30925 Perhaps, you remember writing a letter that night in the cabin?
30925Seguis,said the girl, when he prepared to go,"what is your motive in doing this?
30925Shall we rest now, Captain?
30925Shut up, ca n''t you, Braithwaite?
30925Son of the commissioner, are you?
30925Then you-- you, Captain McTavish, you are my half- brother?
30925Then, I am the rightful heir of the commissioner?
30925Then, I have failed in my duty?
30925Then, am I under the surveillance of your spying Indians?
30925Then, how can you say it is not your affair when the Company is losing twenty thousand pounds a year from your district?
30925Then, you go willingly? 30925 To whom do you refer?"
30925Tom,he said,"where are the hunting- grounds to which you are going?
30925Warn me? 30925 Was he an Indian?"
30925Was he ever fond of a chiefs daughter? 30925 Was that really your reason?"
30925Was there anyone with him, or did he come alone?
30925Well, McTavish, how the deuce do I see you here? 30925 Well, princess, that changes matters does n''t it?
30925Well, what do you mean then?
30925Well, what do you want?
30925Well, who would n''t be glad that I am going to marry my hero?
30925Well,Donald exclaimed impatiently, as the other paused,"what''s so terrible about that?
30925Well,he snarled to the others,"what brings him here now?"
30925Wh-- who was he?
30925What I want to know is, what steps will you take to restore the furs that have disappeared from your district?
30925What are these fellows free trading for, anyhow? 30925 What are you doing up this way, and who are the boys with you?"
30925What are you going to do? 30925 What are you telling me, you devil?"
30925What are your next orders for me?
30925What can be happiness for me but the having of you always? 30925 What can that old hag know about me?
30925What cause have I ever given for you to believe that I was anything but loyal to the Company?
30925What direction did he take?
30925What do you intend to do?
30925What do you mean by that?
30925What do you mean by that?
30925What do you mean by''my own flesh and blood?'' 30925 What do you mean?
30925What do you mean? 30925 What do you mean?"
30925What do you mean?
30925What do you mean?
30925What do you see, Peter?
30925What do you want to say to me about myself?
30925What do you want?
30925What do you want?
30925What do you want?
30925What does this mean?
30925What for?
30925What has changed your mind so suddenly?
30925What have I done to deserve this punishment?
30925What have you got against me? 30925 What is it?"
30925What is it?
30925What is it?
30925What is that?
30925What is the matter with him?
30925What is to become of me, father?
30925What made it die?
30925What proof have you? 30925 What proof?"
30925What time is it, boys?
30925What time is it, boys?
30925What was going on in this place when I came in?
30925What was that clew you had in regard to Jean Fitzpatrick?
30925What was the subject of her conversation?
30925What''s that? 30925 What''s the matter there, boys?"
30925What''s the matter with you, you demon?
30925What, do n''t you recognize me?
30925What?
30925When can you start?
30925When did he get her?
30925When did you first learn of this scandal concerning me, Fitzpatrick?
30925When do I go?
30925When do you wish to leave? 30925 When was he born?"
30925When will these Indians learn that lesson?
30925Where did they go?
30925Where is that certificate?
30925Where is that statement?
30925Where is the factor''s daughter?
30925Where is the man you went out to get, McTavish?
30925Where is-- Captain McTavish?
30925Who are you?
30925Who carried them to you?
30925Who did you say had fever?
30925Who from?
30925Who is it?
30925Who is that?
30925Who told me? 30925 Who was this Riley, father?"
30925Who''s this man, Maria?
30925Who?
30925Whom do you mean?
30925Why did n''t they say as much when the search was being made? 30925 Why did n''t you tell me?
30925Why not keep him with us here a prisoner?
30925Why not, old raven?
30925Why should I attack you?
30925Why should I go? 30925 Why should I?
30925Why should you care?
30925Why was n''t I told of this?
30925Why? 30925 Why?"
30925Why?
30925Why?
30925Why?
30925Why?
30925Why?
30925Will the mounted police get here before--?
30925Will you give an oath never to reveal what you have seen and heard here?
30925Will you kindly explain your assertion, sir?
30925Will you tell Miss Jean that I''m here?
30925Would you murder your own flesh and blood? 30925 Yes, yes,"cried the commissioner feverishly,"but about the certificate?
30925Yes,agreed the other suavely;"but who is in charge of Fort Dickey?"
30925You are old enough to think for yourself-- twenty- four, are n''t you?
30925You promise you''ll help him-- my son? 30925 You refuse, eh?"
30925You talked with her?
30925You will accept?
30925You will pardon me?
30925You''ll help him, you say, if I can give the proof that I was McTavish''s wife?
30925You''re a Hudson Bay man, then?
30925You''ve seen that pile of furs over there, have n''t you?
30925Your 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?
30925After your years with the Company, do you think you''ve achieved the position you deserve?
30925Am I nothing to you?
30925And then, aloud:"Why is she coming to see me?"
30925And whither?
30925And why would he not?
30925And why?
30925And yet, what had he, Donald himself, done?
30925And, perhaps, you''ll be shot, you say?
30925And, yet if she felt that Seguis must be recognized, what would keep her from doing incalculable harm?
30925Are you going crazy, McTavish?"
30925Are you ready to talk surrender yet?
30925Because McTavish loved Jean?
30925But dis time?
30925But how to accomplish this?
30925But how to get it, even should he want it?
30925But now,"he added drearily,"what is there for me?
30925But of what good were arguments?
30925But then what?
30925But what matter?
30925But what was he doing here?
30925But what was that?
30925But when do you suppose these Frenchies will ever connect with you?
30925But who knows?
30925But why do you imagine I would be so glad if the captain was disposed of?
30925But, by the way, Timmins, where''s the factor now?
30925But, in the meantime, McTavish had these questions to answer: Where had the men gone?
30925But, tell me, what led you into any such relation?
30925By the way, any one with him?"
30925CHAPTER III A MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE"What do you know about this murder?"
30925Ca n''t you see my position?
30925Ca n''t you see that Fitzpatrick is going to get me, even if he has to do it with his own hands?
30925Can you give me up this way?"
30925Could he hold out?
30925Could it be that the factor had ignored his directions?
30925Did I leave the Company''s business to take care of itself?"
30925Did he ever mar--?"
30925Did he go with the boys to cut off the Frenchmen?
30925Did it portend anything?
30925Did n''t my father marry old Maria at one time?
30925Do I not know?
30925Do n''t we treat them right?"
30925Do n''t you see I ca n''t live without you?
30925Do you disobey me?"
30925Do you know anything of his life then?
30925Do you realize that you are damning yourself forever in my sight by your words and your attitude?"
30925Do you suppose I care whether my father will allow us to marry or not?
30925Do you think I am a murderer at heart?
30925Does n''t the fool know that''s thin ice?"
30925Even in regard to our marriage?"
30925Going to travel all night?
30925Got anything to eat?"
30925Had he guessed right, after all?
30925Had he no rights?
30925Had her father done his worst, and told her?
30925Had things happened as he hoped?
30925Have I not seen it work?
30925Have I taken advantage of my position as the chief commissioner''s son?"
30925Have n''t you the desire to live life to its greatest fulfilment?
30925He has n''t waited all these years for his revenge to let it slide through his hands that easily, has he, do you suppose?
30925He never spoke again, did he?
30925He 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?
30925How could he find-- anything-- ever?
30925How did you find it out?
30925How had he got here?
30925How had it got here?
30925How have I failed in my duty?
30925How make progress except in fatal circles?
30925How many?
30925How much more so, if that man were narrow, choleric, and filled with a blind sense of loyalty and service?
30925How should he tell directions?
30925How?
30925I ask you, for the last time: Will you give up all hope or thought of ever marrying Jean?
30925I give you my word, and that''s still good, is n''t it?
30925I suppose Seguis will take possession here now?"
30925I wonder if I could bribe them off?"
30925I wonder it any of the boys were out in the woods last night?"
30925I wonder what is the current price of house- furniture?"
30925I wonder where that man, McTavish, is?
30925I-- I--""What do you mean, dearest?"
30925In spite of your attitude, I''ll give you another chance for your life... Will you come into the brotherhood as its leader?"
30925Is he a bad one?"
30925Is he back, too?"
30925Is it so hard to remember?"
30925Is there anything definite against Donald McTavish?
30925It was really kind of you, but have you-- er-- that is, thought of yourself, and what people might say when it becomes known?"
30925Now he must have the other pipe, despite what Peter Rainy had hinted, and who could get it but Laura Fitzpatrick?
30925Now what about the factor?
30925Now, what do you want?"
30925Oh, ca n''t you think of me?
30925On one of these occasions McTavish asked:"Who is this Maria?"
30925Or would there be something added, a flicker of eternal fear in the wide, blue eyes, or the stamp of hell across the fair brow?
30925Shall I get it?"
30925Since she sent it, why had it not been official from her father?
30925So, the Sturgeon Lake trouble has come to that point, has it?
30925Surely, it was too early for the--"I wonder, do they keep their grub in this shack?"
30925Tell me, Seguis, would you do that?"
30925The girl colored slightly, and asked:"Is there no way to make a partition?"
30925The girl mastered herself, and asked in a cold, even voice:"Will you tell me this?
30925The man who sits in the commissioner''s chair to- day--""Not McTavish,_ the_ McTavish?"
30925Then, she said suddenly:"So, you''re the one he is in love with?"
30925They''ll flout me, eh?
30925They''ll flout the Company, will they?
30925Was he to be the helpless manikin worked by every string of evil circumstance and voice of ill?
30925Was the woman crazy, he wondered, that she should wander aimlessly out into a death- dealing storm?
30925We''re afraid to move him, and--""Wh-- what''s that?"
30925Well, then, how can you expect to rise in the Company, when he''s your enemy?"
30925Were they approaching?
30925What I want to know, Captain McTavish, is, what can you do about it?"
30925What McTavish yet had been the fool of a narrow- minded, disgruntled superior, and showed it by losing his temper?
30925What about that?"
30925What about?"
30925What are you going to do?"
30925What are you talking about, anyway, old woman?
30925What could he do?
30925What did she know?
30925What difference does it make to you?"
30925What do I mean?
30925What do you know about him?
30925What else have you to say to me?"
30925What good for you to go away West, eh?
30925What has happened?
30925What have I done?
30925What have I done?
30925What lies has anyone been telling you?"
30925What should he do?
30925What should he do?
30925What was he doing here, this intelligent half- breed?
30925What was in the wind, anyhow?
30925What was it he had heard?
30925What was it, this thing that was the prized property of a glittering- eyed Indian hag?
30925What was that old Indian saying?
30925What was that?
30925What were you doing out in the woods in a storm like that, McTavish?"
30925What were you hanging around Fort Severn for all last summer, without a look for the Indian girls?
30925What''s the landmark by the camp?"
30925What''s the matter with you?
30925What''s this about Miss Jean?"
30925What''s this?"
30925What''s your object in this?
30925What, then, was the matter?
30925What?"
30925When are you going to have a council, and settle this thing?"
30925When would he see her again?
30925When?
30925Where are those furs?"
30925Where could he go?
30925Where did that light come from?
30925Where did you learn it?
30925Where had he found her?
30925Where is it?
30925Where was Jean?
30925Where was she?
30925Where was she?
30925Where were his comrades?
30925Where''s she?"
30925Where, then?
30925Where?"
30925Who can tell?
30925Who had taken her?
30925Who has it?
30925Who is the woman?"
30925Who is the woman?"
30925Who should be about at this hour?
30925Who were they?
30925Who''s she with?"
30925Who, then, was the person in the sleigh?
30925Whose was it?
30925Why are you glad?"
30925Why did n''t she tell me?"
30925Why did you cease to eat, and carry around a face as long as a sick fox''s, eh?
30925Why did you do it?"
30925Why did you not tell me of this child?
30925Why do n''t you tell all the circumstances of that night Indian Tom was killed?
30925Why not let the tragedy go on to its inevitable close?
30925Why should he break his pipe, and ask for the one in the hallway?
30925Why should they have stayed here so long?"
30925Why were you singing love- songs under the trees of nights?
30925Why, then, had the factor withheld his bolt until now?
30925Why?
30925Why?"
30925Why?"
30925Will you bring them to me?"
30925Will you promise never to see her or communicate with her again?
30925Will you promise?"
30925Will you put down your arms peaceably, or shall I fire?"
30925Will you retire to your post, and stay there until I can get you shifted to the West?"
30925Will you sit with me by the fire?"
30925Would he ever see her again as she had been that bitter day?
30925Would there be something gone from that innocent face, some of its sweet purity?
30925Yet, what other way was there?
30925You do n''t even ask my permission?"
30925You do n''t suppose I''m going to wait for them, do you?
30925You will pardon me if I ask if that was not a letter of farewell?"
30925You wish him to live, do n''t you?
30925You''re not going to kill him?"
30925cried Donald,"who''s that?"
30925demanded Donald;"and who are you?"
30925he said,"do you know who this is?
30925man, do n''t you know who your father was?
18182''Ave ye taken the hoath of hallegiance, sir?
18182A message to me?
18182A nunnery?
18182Afraid?
18182After communion?
18182Ah?
18182Am I a prisoner?
18182Am I not grown tall?
18182Am I to be shot? 18182 Am I to be shot?"
18182An the French reward us not well for this winter''s work, that little maid may open a door back to England; eh, kinsman?
18182An your fine gentlemen grow rich that way, why may n''t I?
18182And I suppose you will be telling me there are no Indians up there among the rafters?
18182And how comes Your Excellency to be out so late with ten men?
18182And how he risked his life to save an Indian girl''s life?
18182And now,said he, hastening through the bush,"as no one took fright at all that firing, what''s to hinder examining the ship?"
18182And the end?
18182And the marines?
18182And the officers?
18182And what are you going to do?
18182And what does Mistress Hortense say?
18182And what might this young man want?
18182And what might you want, stealing up like a thief in the night?
18182And what,he demanded,"what doth a little cavalier in a Puritan hotbed?"
18182And who is that?
18182And who is this?
18182And who would find a husband for a portionless bride?
18182And your French mind?
18182And-- and-- all the officers were there on the Sabbath?
18182Anything else?
18182Are they gone?
18182Are you jealous of anything so small?
18182Are you son o''the Stanhope that fought on the king''s side?
18182Are you sure there''s nothing?
18182As long as she gets it, what does it matter who takes it?
18182Aye, and as I have some rare furs for them both, why not let us bear the news to them ourselves?
18182Back?
18182Be_ 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?
18182Ben,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?
18182But I sent a message to the fort----"Not to be bitten by the same dog twice-- I thought that meant to keep away?
18182But about these English prisoners, of whom La Chesnaye sent word from Isle Percée?
18182But how was Mistress Hortense to know that?
18182But where are their foot- marks?
18182But who is this, Jack?
18182But, Rebecca----"Will you come for Hortense''s sake?
18182But--Rebecca was blushing furiously,"but-- I mean-- was there a chaplain?
18182Ca n''t you break through the thongs and get a hand free?
18182Can you guess who that sailor- lad is, Rebecca?
18182Can-- I ever-- ever repay you-- Hortense?
18182Captain Gillam''s boat?
18182Confess what? 18182 Cornered?
18182D''ye mind how we got away from the Iroquois, Chouart?
18182Did he? 18182 Did the cub''s hangdog of a father not offer a thousand pounds for my head on the end of a pikestaff?"
18182Did the north not agree with Sieur Radisson?
18182Did you see her oft, Ramsay?
18182Did you see_ her_?
18182Do n''t you understand? 18182 Do the Scriptures lie, Ramsay Stanhope?
18182Do we sail in that case?
18182Do you go with me or no?
18182Do you mean that Jack Battle has married a squaw?
18182Do you mean the court, sir?
18182Do you mean this little gentleman?
18182Do you mind, Chouart,he asked,"how the padre wanted to put poison in the meat, and the Dutchman would n''t let him?
18182Does the cub think to cower me with his threats?
18182Doth Boston air bring red so quick to all faces?
18182Doth looking hurt yon star?
18182Eh, nephew,exclaims Radisson sharply,"how are the cannon?"
18182Face what?
18182Faith, mademoiselle,said I ruefully,"an she may n''t play war on the commons, what may she play?"
18182Fit crossing?
18182Forever?
18182Furs?
18182Gad''s life, ca n''t you see?
18182Gentlemen,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?"
18182Godefroy,I asked,"how long will this last?"
18182Gone?
18182Has one run away from the island against orders?
18182Hath the little Puritan helped to get them married right?
18182Have I put bread in thy mouth, Ramsay Stanhope, that thou shouldst turn traitor? 18182 Have we not wrestled mightily for signs and wonders?"
18182Have you lost a man, Ben?
18182Have you not heard, Jack?
18182Have you seen Hortense?
18182Have you seen her?
18182He gives''em that saucy brat, does he? 18182 He hath taken the oath?"
18182Hortense, should an oath to the dead bind the living?
18182Hortense, then it was you that I saw at the fire with the others?
18182Hortense, who sent Le Borgne and M. Picot to save me from the wolves?
18182Hortense-- Hortense-- how am I to keep a promise?
18182How 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?"
18182How close can your gunners hit, Ben?
18182How did you come here?
18182How do you know, Ramsay?
18182How goes the keeping of accounts, Ramsay?
18182How is she called?
18182How long ago was that, Colonel Blood?
18182How long do you intend to squat here anchored to an ice- pan?
18182How many beaver- skins?
18182How many have you?
18182How shall we bring up the matter of Hortense?
18182How?
18182I hear you are fur trading, Ramsay?
18182I promised to treat you as I would a sister-- but what-- Hortense?
18182If I could only take her place----"Take her place, Rebecca?
18182If killing''s no murder, whose turn comes next?
18182If there are no Indians, how much farther do we go, sir?
18182In the name o''the fiends, when did you arrive, man?
18182Is Hortense-- so dear?
18182Is M. Radisson back?
18182Is anything there? 18182 Is anything there?"
18182Is he a spy?
18182Is it a wager?
18182Is not this the place?
18182Is not yon Le Borgne?
18182Is the fire not big enough?
18182It is not-- no-- it is not Jack?
18182It was you who pleaded for my life in the cave below my feet?
18182Jack,I asked,"where is Hortense?"
18182Jack,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?"
18182La Chesnaye has told you?
18182La Chesnaye''s son----"Have the ships a good cargo? 18182 Le Borgne, was any one here with you?"
18182Le Borgne, you rascal, is this a way to treat your friends?
18182Le Borgne,I ask,"was any one here?"
18182Let''s see?
18182Look, you rantipole-- who is that?
18182Love-- what?
18182Maid of honour to the lonely queen?
18182Man alive, why do n''t you carve a way?
18182Married in the north? 18182 Married?"
18182Master Stanhope?
18182May I ask, sir, how you know the pirate signals?
18182May I examine them, Rebecca?
18182Mizza snared rabbits and I stole back my musket when we ran away and did some shooting long as powder lasted----"And then?
18182Must I spell it out? 18182 Must a woman ever be a cat''s- paw to man''s ambitions?"
18182Mutinied? 18182 No one here, lad?"
18182No-- no,says the dream- face, with the love that divines without speech,"do you not understand?
18182No; but you''ll ask her?
18182No?
18182Now tell me, whose is she, and what value do you set on her?
18182Now what in the Old Nick does he mean by that?
18182Now, where are your wits, lad? 18182 Oh, I get work enough on the docks to pay for Mizza''s lessons--""Lessons?"
18182Oh, lordy,taunts an English prisoner out on parole one day,"any angels from kingdom come that you Frenchies keep meek as lambs?"
18182Oh,she cried,"were you not asleep?
18182Oh?
18182Perhaps you remember a New Amsterdam gentleman and a page boy leaving Boston on the Prince Rupert?
18182Promise-- and when did promise o''yours hold good, Pierre Radisson?
18182Ramsay Stanhope,begins my uncle sourly,"what do you with uncropped hair and the foolish trappings of vanity?"
18182Ramsay,inquired Jack quizzically,"do you happen to have heard who has the keys?"
18182Ramsay,said M. Radisson, speaking very low and tense,"As you hope to live and without a lie, what-- does-- this-- mean?"
18182Ramsay,she asked with a sudden look straight through my eyes,"what did he make you promise when-- when-- he was dying?"
18182Ramsay?
18182Ramsay?
18182Ramsay?
18182Rebecca, Madame Radisson has told you how Jack was left to be tortured by the Indians?
18182Rebecca,I demanded,"what do you mean?"
18182Rebecca,I whispered, leaning across the bench,"you are big enough to have a-- what?
18182Rebecca-- what is it?
18182Right?
18182Royalist?
18182Services?
18182Shall I lend you a trumpet, La Chesnaye, or-- or a fife?
18182Sir,said I,"have you nothing more to say?
18182Sir?
18182Sir?
18182Sir?
18182Spanish adventurer-- Your Excellency? 18182 Take it to her?"
18182Thanks,says Ben, twirling his mustaches till they were nigh jerked out,"but how long would they stay?"
18182The poor thing kept telling me and telling me to trust you till I--"Till you what, Hortense?
18182The 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?"
18182The wolves got Godefroy,I would reason,"how did n''t they get me?
18182Then you''ll not need Rebecca for six months or so?
18182They do say as''ow it is for love of Mary Kirke and not the English--"Your renegade of a French-- who?
18182Think?
18182To sail in, Jack Battle?
18182Was it not enough that thou wert utterly bound in iniquity without persecuting the Lord''s anointed?
18182Was it?
18182Was that the message he gave you? 18182 Well?"
18182Well?
18182Were the courtiers about?
18182Were those your ships?
18182Were you so mighty proud the other night that you could not come to see a humble ward of the court?
18182What I done about a mate?
18182What a deuce?
18182What are king- killers?
18182What are king- killers?
18182What are those, Rebecca?
18182What are you doing back there, La Chesnaye?
18182What d''ye lack? 18182 What did he give for the pelts, Godefroy?"
18182What did you put in the meat, Pierre?
18182What do you make of it, Godefroy?
18182What do you think we should do, sir?
18182What do you want in return?
18182What does Captain Radisson advise?
18182What does he say, Godefroy?
18182What does he say, Godefroy?
18182What else was there to do, Hortense? 18182 What for, Ben?"
18182What has that to do with Mistress Hortense?
18182What have you come for?
18182What have you under your arm?
18182What is he saying to them now?
18182What you-- come for?
18182What''s my boy doing?
18182What''s that?
18182What''s the matter with your hand? 18182 What, Hillary?
18182What-- what else was there to do?
18182What?
18182What?
18182What?
18182What?
18182When did you feel him getting away from you?
18182When-- when-- did you come?
18182Where did you come from?
18182Where is Balaam?
18182Where is Master Ben?
18182Where is Mistress Hortense?
18182Where is a man to take cover, an the buccaneers began shooting from the bush behind?
18182Where is my master?
18182Where to, Jack?
18182White- man-- promise-- no-- hurt-- good Indian?
18182Who did that? 18182 Who is that, Godefroy?"
18182Who must fight them all?
18182Who paid you to poison Hortense? 18182 Who said''slave''?"
18182Who sent Le Borgne for us in the storm, Hortense?
18182Who shoot what?
18182Who''s there?
18182Who''s who when he''s drunk? 18182 Who-- what is this?"
18182Who?
18182Who?
18182Who?
18182Who?
18182Whom do you make them out to be, Ramsay?
18182Why did n''t you go round to her box, the way M. Radisson did to the king''s?
18182Why did n''t you sell her to some Spanish adventurer before you came here?
18182Why do n''t you take it to her, Jack?
18182Why have n''t you?
18182Why not?
18182Why, 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?"
18182Why-- why-- didn''t you give us warning?
18182Why?
18182Why?
18182Will you do me the honour to satisfy yourself that wound is genuine?
18182Will you petition the king direct?
18182Would another bridesmaid do?
18182Yes?
18182You are not afraid?
18182You mean to send her to Mary Kirke?
18182You think-- it''s-- it''s-- all right?
18182You''ll not take the odds? 18182 Your fine gallants have so many fine speeches----""Have you been here long?"
18182Your 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?
18182A galleon, did you say, tall and slim?
18182A night- watchman shuffled along with swinging lantern, calling out:"What ho?
18182A_ hard_ master, you say?
18182Am I to be shot?"
18182An a man wins, who a devil gives a rush for the winnings?
18182An you listen to Deliverance Dobbins''s lies, what hinders any lying wench sending good men to the scaffold?"
18182And again I ask why not, when the law of their life was to kill or to be killed?
18182And did I know of any secret league between Captain Zachariah Gillam and Mr. Stocking to trade without commission?
18182And now she must marry the boy----""Why?"
18182And was not that Jack Battle greeting her outside in the dark?
18182And what do you think M. Radisson said as he wiped the sweat from his brow?
18182And what do you think that black- eyed jade asks when I present the furs and tell of our captured Frenchmen?
18182And what words, think you, came quick on top of his first sharp outcry?
18182And-- and was not Mistress Hortense the only woman----?"
18182Are n''t you and me to be shipped on a raft for the English fort at the foot o''the bay?"
18182Are the timbers of your room sound?"
18182Beaten?
18182Before I gained strength to escape, would M. Radisson have left for Quebec?
18182Ben took us to the north with Le Borgne for interpreter----""Does Ben know you are here?"
18182But how could one forage for food with a right arm in bands and a left unsteady as aim of a girl?
18182But what was she saying in her sleep?
18182But what was that sound?
18182But where a''devil is that Indian?"
18182But whither had he gone that he had not come back to us?
18182But why had he flung his sword down at the moment of victory?
18182Can you guess who this is?"
18182Did a fellow''s tales slip an oath or two?
18182Did a fish rise?
18182Did it rise from the ground in the woods, or from a far memory of children throwing a bully into the sea?
18182Did that explain why my life had been three times spared?
18182Did they laugh at this fellow, the most helpless of all things, setting out to conquer all things?
18182Did voices grow loud in the mess- room?
18182Did you sink her or sell her?
18182Do you know the risk?"
18182Do you know what it means?
18182Do you mind the copy- heads on the writing- books?
18182Do you not hear the drunken revel?
18182Do you wonder that our hearts stopped almost as suddenly as the paddles?
18182Does Your High Mightiness give place to a merchant''s son?
18182Does it hurt?"
18182Eh, lad, afraid to go?"
18182Face what?"
18182For had not the blind forces brought Hortense to me, and me to Hortense?
18182Good lack, what will Sir John say?"
18182Had I not noticed the mole on the French doctor''s cheek?
18182Had I run in a circle and come again on M. Radisson''s fire?
18182Had he been sent for me?
18182Had not Eli Kirke planned trading in the north with Mr. Stocking?
18182Had spring come?
18182Had you a preacher?
18182Has he seen the Company?"
18182He would give a thousand pounds for my head-- would he?
18182How are some men born to draw all others as the sea draws the streams?
18182How came I to be lying in Boston Town?
18182How could I go to M. de Radisson and abandon Hortense?
18182How could I stay with M. Picot and desert M. de Radisson?
18182How could they get a minister a thousand leagues away from any church?
18182How did I get away?
18182How did he know that?
18182How had he made the savages come to him?
18182How long had I lain in the cave?
18182How many days have you been here?"
18182How much better could we have done for her?"
18182I ask you in return why you like the spire of a cathedral pointing up instead of down; or why the muses lift souls heavenward?
18182I had: what of it?
18182I 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?
18182If once the great door were unlocked, who could tell what black arts a sorcerer might use?
18182If this was the beginning, what was the end?
18182In the name o''the fiends-- where from?"
18182Is Captain Gillam stealing the Company''s furs for Ben?"
18182Lordy,"laughs Jack,"s''pose I do n''t know what a foot on a neck feels like?
18182Mary?"
18182May the angel of forgiveness spread a broader mantle across our blunders than our sins, but could I have said worse?
18182Might I not speak to the French doctor through the bars of his window?
18182My 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?
18182Nine lives for each man, did you say?"
18182No?
18182Not a- bed yet, child?
18182Now, Rebecca, will you sit down till I tell you all about it?"
18182Oh, 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?"
18182Or make pale my cheeks with care''Cause_ Rebecca''s_ rosier are?"
18182PART I CHAPTER I WHAT ARE KING- KILLERS?
18182Ramsay, why did she love that north land where the wicked Frenchman took her?"
18182Restore her to what?
18182Shaping his hands to a trumpet, he shouted,"How are you, there?"
18182Should I lie like a stranded hull while he perished?
18182Should I tell him of the adventure?
18182Spreading over the face of the New World, making the desert to bloom and the waste places fruitful gardens?
18182Tell me that?"
18182That 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?
18182The only doubt is how many of those pirates are there who attacked you in the woods?"
18182Then Hortense was no dream, and love was no phantom, and God-- was what?
18182Then a voice which only speaks when love speaks through the voice was saying,"Do you remember your dreams?"
18182Then the Dutchman wanted to murder them all in their sleep, and the padre would n''t let him?"
18182Then turning to me with her face aflame:"I am-- I am-- oh-- why ca n''t you understand?"
18182Think you M. Picot burns incense to the serpent in his jars for the healing of mankind?"
18182This 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?
18182Those guns in the bastions though-- think you those cannon are not pushed too far through the windows to be slued round quickly?"
18182Up yet?
18182Was I dreaming, or were there voices, English voices, talking about me?
18182Was I not the only royalist in the house?
18182Was M. Radisson a myth?
18182Was he not here among them?
18182Was it flood of memory or a sick man''s dream?
18182Was that the only reason?"
18182Was the northland a dream?
18182Was the water suddenly muddied?
18182Waters-- did I say?
18182Were my assailants, then, Hudson''s Bay Company men come up from the south end of James Bay?
18182Were the pirates some agents of my uncle?
18182What a pretty mischief have you been working?
18182What ado was this in Boston, where men were only hunters of souls and chasers of devils?
18182What are King- Killers?
18182What could I do?
18182What d''ye lack?
18182What d''ye please to lack, good sirs?
18182What does Osmond''s daughter say?"
18182What else was there for us to do?"
18182What folly is this-- dear, kind Rebecca?
18182What gain to keep up pretence longer?
18182What had she done that she ought not to have done?
18182What ho?"
18182What next?"
18182What was she trying to say with her dark hints and overnice scruples of a Puritan conscience?
18182What was this fellow doing with a torch?
18182What will become of her?"
18182What will my father have to say?"
18182What- a- deuce?
18182When they reached the shambles, know you what they did?
18182When we''ve taken him, lads, who-- think you-- dare complain?"
18182Where are the New Englanders?"
18182Where are the tribes with whom Godefroy and Jack Battle and I wandered in nomadic life over the northern wastes?
18182Where are we, Le Borgne?"
18182Where had I heard it before?
18182Where is that vagabond Cree?
18182Where is your colour of a moment ago?"
18182Where was the brain?
18182Where, think you, may we best secure him?
18182Which do you mean?"
18182While we swung at anchorman, what d''y''think happened?
18182Who are her people?"
18182Who had turned informer on my uncle?
18182Who is Hortense?"
18182Who was the third partner?
18182Who were these night- watchers?
18182Why did n''t I join the beaver trade of Hudson Bay?
18182Why do n''t you join the beaver trade, Ramsay?"
18182Why do you ask questions?
18182Why must you and Madame Radisson and Lady Kirke all push me here?"
18182Why not, indeed?
18182Why not?
18182Why should he have, when his only standard of right is conquest?
18182Why should it not be, when his only god is victory?
18182Why would he put her in a house of correction?
18182Why, when a duchess must take me every morning to a milliner''s shop, where she meets her lover, who is a rope- walker?
18182Why, when ladies of the court dress in men''s clothes to run the streets with the Scowerers?
18182Why, when our sailors starve unpaid and gold enough lies on the basset- table of a Sunday night to feed the army?
18182Why-- who-- who married him, Ramsay?"
18182Why-- why-- did you promise?"
18182Why----?"
18182Will i Do It?
18182Will you not come?"
18182Would suspicion fall on me?
18182Would''t be any better to send you to the rope than Hortense?
18182You ask what that look was?
18182You kept your promise, and a ward of the crown must marry whom the king names--""Marry?"
18182any one listening?"
18182called one, reining his horse to its haunches,"did that snivelling knave pass this way?"
18182cries Ben,"but where a deuce are all your land forces and marines and jack- tars and forty thousand officers?"
18182he exclaimed,"do fur- traders keep royalty awaiting?"
18182is a slaughter better than a game?
18182mocks Hortense,"what else is there to do?"
18182returns Phipps,"how many beaver- skins are there in store?"
18182says Hortense,"what else?
18182says Hortense,"why do I hate this life?
18182she cried impetuously,"I hate this life-- why did you all send me to it?"
18182who married you?"
20418All?
20418An''in the name of the seven wonders of creation, what for would you be getting down?
20418An''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?
20418And did they,I cried, in spite of the injunction,"did they do that to you?"
20418And have the whole pack of them sneaking after us? 20418 And how can I strike a man who saved my life?"
20418And pray, Sir, what might''bunk''mean?
20418And she could n''t be lost in Charlesbourg forest?
20418And the stone?
20418And there was an Indian encampment a few yards down the road?
20418And was my little Eric at the hunt, and did he shoot an arrow all by himself?
20418And what are the capers of this, my beast, compared to the antics of fate, Sir Priest?
20418And what did I say about Frances?
20418And where do you go?
20418And why is that tent apart from the rest and who is in it?
20418And womankind?
20418And you forgive all? 20418 And you''re quite sure she is n''t in the house?"
20418And----"And what?
20418Are n''t you coming? 20418 Are there no dark halls in there, unsafe for you?"
20418Are they with you? 20418 Are they with you?"
20418Are those buffalo, Black Cat?
20418Are ye Rufus Gillespie?
20418Are you Gillespie?
20418Are you among the prophets?
20418Are you cold, now?
20418Are you hurt, and at such a time?
20418Are you ill, man?
20418Are you men back? 20418 Are you men looking for trouble?"
20418Are you mooning after the Little Statue already?
20418Are you possessed?
20418Are you sure you''ll be safe?
20418Are you sure you''re safe?
20418Are you there?
20418Are you tired, Frances?
20418Are-- they-- with-- you?
20418Art satisfied?
20418Aye-- is it Frances y''r speerin''after?
20418Bad men?
20418Bag him, eh?
20418Be still-- you what?
20418Because they saw you with me?
20418Because----"Because what?
20418Burning hay- ricks?
20418But it did n''t succeed?
20418But the Citadel paper?
20418But the road, Eric?
20418By Jove, Hamilton, we need it, do n''t we?
20418Call that hard luck?
20418Certainly we are, but get this truck to higher ground, will you?
20418Colin Robertson-- the Nor''-Wester?
20418Could n''t they have gone down the road to those Indian encampments?
20418Crying?
20418Dear love-- wherever are you?
20418Did I rive ye sore, lad?
20418Did I strike somebody? 20418 Did I strike somebody?"
20418Did that spring up all of a sudden?
20418Did the little wifie let him off for a night''s play?
20418Did they torture you?
20418Did ye ever-- did ever ye see such a little termagant, such a persuasive, commanding little queen of a termagant?
20418Did you really expect him back alive from the Bloods?
20418Do I?
20418Do my eyes tell lies? 20418 Do n''t you know?"
20418Do you find the way very far-- Frances?
20418Do you know where he is?
20418Do you need to ask with such a galaxy of nut- brown maidens?
20418Do you really mean it? 20418 Do you really want to know how?"
20418Do you think the_ Bois- Brulés_ would plunder your boats?
20418Do-- with-- him?
20418Do_ I_ scent matrimony?
20418Eagles, are they?
20418Eh?
20418Eric Hamilton, are you mad?
20418Faith, now, what might they all be doing with stars for diadems? 20418 For anything else?"
20418For the trial of cases occurring?
20418Friend, or foe?
20418From whom?
20418Game scarce on MacKenzie River?
20418Gillespie, man, what''s wrong? 20418 Had him in your power-- knew what he''d done-- and-- and-- didn''t?"
20418Hang 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?
20418Has any one seen Eric Hamilton?
20418Has your Lordship some colonization scheme that you ask such pointed questions?
20418Have I been here for months?
20418Have 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?"
20418Have they been making ladders?
20418Have ye as much as got a glint of her eye to- day?
20418Have ye no seen Frances?
20418Have you-- oh-- have you?
20418He is coming?
20418He''d let you hear about it to all eternity, too, would n''t he?
20418Help you up?
20418Hoo are ye, gillie?
20418Hoo are ye, gillie?
20418How are you going to get''em to her?
20418How can I, Louis Laplante, son of a seigneur, strike a man who wo n''t hit back?
20418How could we know that Selkirk would purchase controlling interest in Hudson''s Bay stock? 20418 How did you reach Fort Gibraltar?"
20418How do you know he''s a spy?
20418How do you know?
20418How far,I began, with a curious inability to use my wits and tongue,"how far-- I mean how long have I been asleep, sir?"
20418How stands the hour- glass?
20418How strong are the Mandanes?
20418How''s the cold in your head?
20418Hudson''s Bay been tampering with your Indians? 20418 Hudson''s Bay, or Nor''-Wester?"
20418I beg your pardon, gentlemen,said I,"what were you saying to Colonel Adderly?"
20418I have had?
20418I say,called one, who had been dazed by the splendor,"how do you tell which is the lookin''glass and which is the window?"
20418I say,exclaimed a man joining the group,"d''y''hear the news?
20418If you meant to stay at the fort, why did n''t you decide sooner?
20418Interesting and delightful?
20418Is Diable among them?
20418Is Diable here?
20418Is Eric sleepy?
20418Is Mr. Sutherland an H. B. C. or Nor''-Wester?
20418Is boy sleepy?
20418Is it a cold night?
20418Is it a long story, Rufus?
20418Is it a pretty story, Rufus?
20418Is it white?
20418Is it you, Eric? 20418 Is it you, really you, looking as old as your great grandfather?
20418Is it your wife, Miriam, and your boy?
20418Is that all about Diable, Eric?
20418Is that all?
20418Is that in our honor?
20418Is that the tribe?
20418Is that true about the Indian kidnapping a woman?
20418Is that true?
20418Is that you, Eric?
20418Is this Sunday?
20418It is n''t so cold as-- as that, is it?
20418It was daylight, Eric?
20418Know any of them?
20418Know they-- what for-- you come?
20418Le Grand Diable-- did you see him?
20418Le Grand Diable?
20418Let go-- is ut ye''re orderin''me?
20418Looks thin, does n''t he? 20418 Lots of confidential talks with her, I suppose?"
20418Louis,I commanded, utterly out of patience,"what of Miriam?
20418Louis,said I, trying to fathom the meaning of his wink,"are those Indians to come yet?"
20418Mane it?
20418Marry!--What?
20418May I not come?
20418Miriam, what has happened?
20418Mr. Sutherland,I cried, with all the impatience of a child,"please tell me, where is your daughter?"
20418My devil, or yours?
20418No?
20418No?
20418Nor''-Wester, but what does that matter? 20418 Not a word for y''rself?"
20418Not know what?
20418Now, Louis, what do you mean by this nonsense?
20418Now, how shall I pay you?
20418O Uncle MacKenzie,said I with a wry face,"do you measure your own wine so?"
20418Oh, is it only you? 20418 Only wisdom?"
20418Out of your reckoning already?
20418Out wid y''r nonsense, and what good are y''thinkin''ye''ll do--? 20418 Pay me?"
20418Please see if they fit, Sir? 20418 Rufus,"he whispered softly,"where are they taking me?"
20418See those stones?
20418Shioux squaw-- Devil''s wife-- how you say it in English? 20418 Sir Alexander was a first cousin of yours, was he not?"
20418Sit down, will you?
20418Smell violets?
20418Smoke? 20418 So the knife cut well, did it?
20418So the lordly Captain Miles McDonell of the Queen''s Rangers, generalissimo of all creation, defies us, does he?
20418Squeamish? 20418 Story?"
20418Sump-- too-- uss-- ain''t it?
20418Taking you?
20418That Iroquois, who belongs to the North- West trappers----"_ Pays d''En Haut?_asks Paul, speaking for the first time.
20418That-- that thing-- that bear-- that bruin-- he a friend?
20418That-- your messenger for me?
20418The gentleman wants to know if the lady objects to having her place usurped?
20418The little-- what?
20418Then what shall we do with him?
20418There''ll be a collision anyway when Cameron and Grant reach Red River-- eh, Cuthbert?
20418There''s a fountain- spout in Nor''-West vaults for those who know where to tap the spigot, eh, Louis?
20418These-- are they all friends?
20418Think two are necessary?
20418To Lorette, Paul?
20418To the what, did you say Hamilton had gone?
20418To the what?
20418To where?
20418To whom?
20418Tremble? 20418 Troth, yes, lad, where are they taking me?
20418Very far?
20418Very near? 20418 Was it worth while this year?"
20418Was that all?
20418Was-- was-- Laplante-- in that?
20418We do n''t display our little amours----"No,broke in the other,"we just display our little contours and get snubbed, eh?"
20418Well, 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?"
20418Well?
20418Well?
20418Well?
20418Were a few Nor''-Westers so successful in holding back the Metis at Seven Oaks, you''d like to see that experiment repeated?
20418Wha''--wha''--''ll-- we do-- Rufush?
20418What about Adderly''s rage?
20418What about Diable?
20418What about him? 20418 What are these birds, Little Fellow?"
20418What are these carvings, may I inquire, Sir?
20418What are ye doin''here?
20418What are you doing yourself? 20418 What are you going to do with him?"
20418What are you going to do with the settlers, Cuthbert?
20418What are you here for? 20418 What boats?"
20418What did this, Little Fellow?
20418What did you say you had found?
20418What do those mean, Little Fellow?
20418What do ye say, mon? 20418 What do you know about Laplante?"
20418What do you mean, young woman?
20418What do you mean? 20418 What do you mean?"
20418What do you want here, man?
20418What do you want, yourself?
20418What for-- come you-- here?
20418What guarantee against dangers from them? 20418 What happened to ye, Rufus Gillespie?"
20418What has happened?
20418What has happened?
20418What have you lost?
20418What in the world can be keeping Father Holland?
20418What is it, Little Fellow, a cat?

20418When may I see her?
20418Where are your Indians?
20418Where can Hamilton be?
20418Where did you come from? 20418 Where did you find it?"
20418Where did you see her?
20418Where do the men come from?
20418Where is Gillespie?

20418Who is Le Grand Diable''s wife?
20418Who is that?
20418Who should know better than you? 20418 Who''s afraid, Black Cat?
20418Why did he say that?
20418Why did you lie to them?
20418Why do n''t you answer?
20418Why else do I hide you in my tent? 20418 Why not leave them in the fort till things quiet down?"
20418Why, Gillespie,called a voice,"what in the world are you doing here?"
20418Why?
20418Will he be back?
20418With all the Indians of Red River in possession of that fort?
20418With what?
20418With you?
20418Ye blunder- busticus, ye, what have ye been doing?
20418Yes, do n''t you know you''ve been talking in torrents for the past ten minutes? 20418 Yes-- why?
20418You are going for Miriam?
20418You coming too?
20418You got away too quick for them?
20418You know I lie to you in the gorge?
20418You know what that lie mean--and he hesitated--"mean to her-- to Miriam?"
20418You, Gillespie?
20418You? 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***** Need I say what door opened, what hands drew me in and chafed life into the benumbed being?
20418*****"How can I thank you for what you have done?"
20418Am I going mad?
20418Am I to believe that?"
20418An''ye claver sic''nonsense when ye''re daft, what would ye say when ye''re sane?
20418And did she flare back at me?
20418And do you know, Rufus, I never could thank you all?
20418And the Sioux did not eat you by inches, beginning with your thumbs?
20418And 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?
20418And what else, indeed?
20418And what were they decreeing?
20418Are there any bleeding hearts in the bush?"
20418Are they ahead?
20418Are they with you?"
20418Are we playing jest is earnest, or earnest is jest?"
20418Are you getting the bench?"
20418Are you mad?"
20418Are you mad?"
20418Besides, was I not returning to one who was peerless?
20418But sisters do mending, do n''t they?"

20418CHAPTER XXI LOUIS PAYS ME BACK What tempted me to moor opposite the ruins of Fort Gibraltar?
20418Ca n''t you borrow one from the Indians?
20418Call all even?"
20418Can I do anything to repay you for your trouble in bringing me here?"
20418Can any man blame me for breaking through the thicket and my resolution and discretion and all?
20418Can you go as trader for your people?
20418Can_ you_ see anything up there?"
20418Carpe Diem!_""What is_ Carpe Diem_?"
20418Could 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?
20418Cursing the burdens, yourselves have bound, In a maze of wants, running round and round-- Are ye free men, or manniken slaves?
20418D''y''hear?
20418Did Little Fellow doubt their word?
20418Did Louis act from the love of acting and trickery and intrigue?
20418Did she not bind the white woman?
20418Did she not drag me over the ground like a dead stag?
20418Did she not slay La Robe Noire?
20418Did she not slay the white man before Monsieur''s eyes?
20418Did 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?
20418Did you find out anything?"
20418Did you find this--"indicating the spear handle--"there?"
20418Did you hear anything special in the fort that night?"
20418Did you see it?"
20418Do I understand ye clearly, there''s no prisoners with ye?"
20418Do n''t you know any of them?"
20418Do you forget?"
20418Do you hear any one calling for help?
20418Do you hear anything?
20418Do you hear the bells?
20418Do you know, you baggage, that you are delaying this young man in a matter that is of life- and- death importance?
20418Do you raise the tomahawk, or pipe of peace?
20418Do you remember how you saved my life twice from the Sioux, Louis?"
20418Do you think Father Holland would take''em up?"
20418Do you think I stay here for nothing?
20418Do you think I was old Cam''s private secretary for nothin''?
20418Does the physician justify medical experiments on the criminal, or the sacrificial priest the driving of the scape- goat into the wilderness?
20418Drunk is he?"
20418Eh?
20418For the Lord''s sake, boy, do you expect to find the woman by believing in that bloated bugaboo?"
20418For the sake of the old days, Louis, help to undo the wrong you allowed?
20418For them, what motive but to vindicate their bravery?
20418For was it not written in my inner consciousness that destiny had appointed me to the wild, free life of the north?
20418For what was he coming to Red River in this warlike fashion?
20418Had I not dared all?
20418Had I not read, or heard, of departed spirits hovering near loved ones?
20418Had I, by some strange irony, been led to this spot that I might witness the death of my foe?
20418Had I, too, lost grip of reality; or was she in distress calling for me?
20418Had any one come and driven her to the city?
20418Had he gone to keep secret guard over the priest, or to decoy the vigilant Sioux woman?
20418Had he incriminated Diable to save himself?
20418Had he lied?
20418Had my jerk disturbed whatever it was and sent it rolling down to mid- current?
20418Had not these men gone north young and full of hope, as I was going?
20418Had she known of our efforts at all?
20418Had we not more to fear from living?
20418Had_ Monsieur_ examined the clearing between the house and the forest?
20418Hamilton,"exclaimed Uncle Jack MacKenzie, who was facing Eric as I came up behind,"have you been in a race or a fight?"
20418Hamilton?"
20418Hamilton?"
20418Hast Thou no pity?
20418Hast Thou no pity?
20418Have n''t I spent my life among them?
20418Have you brought the tribe as you promised?"
20418Have you more of that kind?"
20418Here were close- fitted boards-- here, iron- lining-- this must be the gate; but where was the lantern that hung behind?
20418How came it that I was in the woods slushing through damp mold up to my ankles in black ooze?
20418How came it that a Catholic priest lay under a Protestant roof?
20418How can I tell how long I hung there?
20418How could we know he''d secure a land grant in the very heart of our domain?"
20418How d''y''know we''re not here to warn ye about the fort?
20418How did you get away?
20418How did you know I was there?"
20418How do I know?
20418How far by the Beauport road?"
20418How long since you left the Sioux?"
20418How many men have made that vow regarding the woman they love?
20418How many more half- breeds were beneath that cliff?
20418How shall I pay you?"
20418I ca n''t stand the sisterly business, Frances----""Have you suffered much from the sisterly?"
20418I cried, exasperated with myself,"Where''s Fort Gibraltar?
20418I 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?
20418I run forward, I find Le Petit Garçon-- how you call him?--Leetle Fellow?
20418I see where it ought to be, where the towers ought to be higher than that brush, but where''s the fort?"
20418I thank you-- Father Holland-- is it not?
20418If the Indians had such fear, why had this band camped within a mile of the pest tent?
20418If the worst happened and I were captured, had I the courage to endure Indian tortures?
20418If they wo n''t take our boats to the States, or Canada, what else can Nor''-Westers do?"
20418Is it to be peace or war?
20418Is it you or your ghost?"
20418Is language for the use of man, or man for the use of language?"
20418Is no this fine?
20418Is that a child crying?"
20418Is that woman Miriam?"
20418Is the Indian less brave than the pale face?"
20418Is this Thy pity?
20418Joke-- ain''t it?"
20418Lah Grawnd Deeahble,"and he mouthed over our mispronunciation of his own tongue"Joke, is n''t it?"
20418Lord, boy, why did n''t ye stay with that peppery Scotchman?
20418May it please Her Majesty to grant a token to her leal and devoted knight----""What is thy request?"
20418Me hearty, but what was that?"
20418Miriam, the guiltless, was suffering at his hands; should not he, the guilty, suffer at ours?
20418Must not she do the same?
20418My God, men, how can I tell you?
20418Need I say the voice brought me to my feet at one leap?
20418No-- no-- and we''ve been hunting house and garden for hours----""And the forest?"
20418No?
20418Noo, d''ye no hear the clack o''the geese through yon open window?"
20418Now, Rufus, where are your men?
20418Now, what was there in those replies to cause happiness?
20418Now, who''s appointed to trade with the buffalo hunters but y''r very self?"
20418Of course, I should have gone----""And would it have mended matters if you''d been held hostage too?"
20418Pray, who is he?"
20418Putting out his hand he said--"Is it all right with us again, Rufus, old man?"
20418Quick, Miriam, will you try?"
20418Raising his brows in question, Mr. Jack MacKenzie touched his forehead and whispered across to me--"Mad?"
20418Say, babe, why do n''t y''r fill y''r hat with''em and put''em in her tent?"
20418Say, great chief of the Mandanes, what is thy answer?"
20418Shall I whistle for them?"
20418Shall not a sparrow fall to the ground without Thy knowledge?
20418Shall we be friends or enemies?
20418She 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?
20418She may be drown;"whispered Louis,"but we creep on, quiet like hare, no noise like deer, stiller than mountain cat, hist-- what that?"
20418Should I make the final, desperate dash now?
20418Should I wait to be smoked out of my hole, like a badger, or a raccoon?
20418Simpleton-- you think Louis a fool?"
20418Sounds funny in this desert, do n''t it?"
20418Surely you do n''t treasure any grudge yet?"
20418Sutherland?"
20418THE 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?"
20418Tell me this instant, what do you want?"
20418Tell us, what doth the Mandane offer for the blood of the young man?
20418That post, too, might be destroyed; but where were Hamilton and Father Holland?
20418That was true; for had not forty- eight hours passed since I had regained consciousness and I had heard neither her footsteps nor her voice?
20418That''s the way of it, is it?"
20418That''s why she''s a statute, ai n''t it?"
20418The pulpit silenced-- though that''s a big contract-- mankind labeled, what for women?"
20418The water''s shallow there----""What do_ you_ think?"
20418Then, why had Diable rescued his betrayer?
20418To the buffalo hunt first, then, south?
20418Too well I read the signs and knew the summons; and what can love, or gratitude, do in the presence of that summons?
20418Torture, burning, or the cool wash of a black wave gurgling over one''s head?
20418Want them all, Eric?"
20418Was I a part of the new happiness?
20418Was Miriam within range of those smoke signals?
20418Was he befooling the daughter of L''Aigle, or me?
20418Was it a beaver, or my Indian pursuers?
20418Was it old Cameron?"
20418Was it the apprehension of fear, or the buzzing in my ears, that suggested the faint, far- away echo of a clamoring multitude?
20418Was it the influence of this slip of a girl, I wonder, that a curious change came over our crews?
20418Was it the wind, or a low sigh, or a silent weeping, that I heard?
20418Was that the lad I had known?
20418Was the Sioux squaw from the other lodge listening?
20418Was 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?
20418Was the apparition in the Mandane lodge some portent?
20418Was the fellow really delirious?
20418Was the man spying on me?
20418Was the policy, that ended so tragically a year afterwards, adopted at this meeting?
20418Was there smoke of battle?
20418Was this Miriam?
20418Was this Miriam?
20418Was this an illusion, or was I, too, going mad?
20418Was this the end of that long career of evil?
20418Was this the_ avant- courier_ of the Hudson''s Bay, delayed, like ourselves, by the storm?
20418Watched?
20418We had befooled Louis into a betrayal of his associates but how much reliance could be placed on that betrayal?
20418We had cheated Laplante; but had he in turn cheated us?
20418We had had a victory; but how long would it last?
20418Well then, why the deuce did n''t you go, and knock the head off anything that opposed you?"
20418Were those_ Carpe Diem_ flowers?"
20418Were you drunk, or were you not?
20418What about Frances?"
20418What am I, that I should escape?
20418What are they doing?"
20418What are you scared of?"
20418What can I do?"
20418What can you, one man, do against two thousand Sioux?"
20418What care Louis Laplante for the fire?
20418What care Louis for repents?
20418What care Louis for wounds and cuts and threats?
20418What could be keeping him?
20418What d''y''mane, scarin''the breath out of a body and blowing his ideas to limbo?
20418What did Frances mane by lettin''you out to- night?"
20418What did it matter if we were?
20418What did_ you_ do it for?"
20418What do you take traders for?"

20418What spirits wail to the prairie gale?
20418What tempts the fly into the spider''s web and the fish with a wide ocean for play- ground into one small net?
20418What wonder the gauzy northern lights are bands of marshaling warriors and the stars torches lighting those who ride the plains of heaven?
20418What would Rufus do without ye?"
20418What would you do?"
20418What''s coming now?"
20418What''s goin''on here?"
20418What''s kept you?"
20418What''s that?"

20418Whatever''s the matter with you?"

20418Where are the parties?"

20418Who can say that I might not have departed from the path called rectitude?
20418Who can tell?
20418Who follows?

20418Who''s going to play?"
20418Who''s put off the trail by the fire of a fool Sioux?
20418Who-- are-- you?
20418Who-- in the world-- are you?
20418Who?"
20418Whose cry outpierces the night- bird''s note?
20418Whose voice mourns sadly through sighing trees?
20418Whur''s Eric Hamilton, I say?"
20418Whur''s Eric Hamilton?"
20418Whur-- d''--y''--hide-- it?"
20418Why ca n''t you help me?
20418Why ca n''t you say Statue?"
20418Why did I do it?
20418Why did she evade me and turn altogether to the priest at her right?
20418Why did she not signal?
20418Why do n''t you make something out of this?
20418Why does he not come home to me?"
20418Why does n''t he come?
20418Why had Louis gone off, and why did he not come back?
20418Why have inane answers to inane, timorous questions transformed earth into paradise and mortals into angels?
20418Why have you been so hard on us?"
20418Why have you destroyed our fort?"
20418Why should the half- breed not have his share of the booty?
20418Why should the_ Bois- Brulés_ not pillage Hudson''s Bay posts?
20418Why was the thing lying there, anyway?
20418Why, Gillespie, what do you know of such things?
20418Will it make your revenge any sweeter to torture a helpless, white woman?"
20418Will ye follow the boats alone and see that no harm comes to them?"
20418Will ye go?"
20418Wo n''t she blush?
20418Wo n''t you come back?"
20418Wo n''t you try all for Eric''s sake?
20418Would I be justified in taking Diable prisoner, and would my company consent to the demoralization of their crews by such a step?
20418Would it be right to get hold of Le Grand Diable?"
20418Would they return to the last marks of my trail?
20418Yes, quite, as long as the settlers are here; and you, you will let me know when the priest sets out for Pembina?"
20418You generous?
20418You give life?
20418You help one able help himself?
20418You nearly wrenched my hand off----""Can you blame me?"
20418You wanted to go into that wigwam; did n''t you?
20418You were not meant for feasts, my solemncholy?
20418an''is that you, Father Holland?"
20418came the response in an amused voice,"find it very far?
20418he cried,"mane it?
20418is it really so?"
20418is it you?"
20418man?"
