30647("Voul scendere, forse?")
30647..._ That_ would be a good Union motto, do n''t you think?

30647But for the moment might I be allowed to ask for a little personal explanation?
30647But is it, I wonder, enough to make one wonderful that one''s husband should disappear alive?

30647But what if man after man were to disappear?
30647But what on earth did they_ mean_ to do with me?

30647Had Dr. Chang, perhaps, been through, part of the way through, numbers 4 or 16 instead?)
30647Had Svensen a private enemy?
30647Had he not always said that Italians( unless it were Albanians) had done this thing?
30647Had he not joined the True Church to make sure of this ultimate rightness, and because it was fashionable just now?

30647My, is n''t it queer what people will do?"
30647Now which do you think is the best?"
30647Now, I ask you, what would one talk about to Kratzky all that time except some iniquitous intrigue?
30647Now, do I ask too much, Lord John?"

30647Or had they emerged by some other exit?
30647Or should all literature, art, and humour be a cul- de- sac, suggesting no idea whatsoever?

30647Was it really funny even when to the lady thus unattired there entered a gentleman, either M. l''Amant or M. le Mari?

30647Whose turn would it be next?
30647Why ask questions about them?
30647Why did n''t your people finish the job they began on myself-- if it was your people, and not, as I suspect, some Sinn Fein scoundrels?"
30647Why dwell on them, or, in detail, on the strange-- or rather the now familiar, but none the less sinister-- events which marked each?

42973''Ah, Denise,''she said, are you going to Geneva?'' 42973 ''And comes from an old family?''
42973''And my husband?'' 42973 ''And papa, too?''
42973''And shall live there in peace and love?'' 42973 ''And what have others been saying for a long time past, madam?''
42973''And you gave her the letter, Denise?'' 42973 ''Are you sure, sir,''I said,''there has been nothing stolen from the house?''
42973''But if you wanted a great deal,''he persisted,''you have money to pay for it?'' 42973 ''Can he?''
42973''Can it be robbers,''I thought,''who have climbed the gates, and missed their footing?'' 42973 ''Can not you tell me,''said Master Christian,''whether my rich parents would do for me what that little boy''s poor parents are doing for him?
42973''Can you hear me?'' 42973 ''Denise,''said my lady to me,''are you willing to serve me?''
42973''Did my mother desire you not to mention to me that she had taken the letter from you?'' 42973 ''Did she ever say I was a hard mother to her-- that I was leading her wrong-- that I was selfish, and thought only of myself?
42973''Did they meet in anger, Denise?'' 42973 ''Did they part in anger?''
42973''Did you post the letter for me, Denise, as I desired you? 42973 ''Do you believe me guilty, Denise?''
42973''Have you, then,''she asked,''any commands to give me?'' 42973 ''He has a great deal of property?''
42973''He is very rich, Denise?'' 42973 ''His nature, Denise-- though it is exceedingly wrong in me to ask, for I have had experience of it-- his nature is very kind?''
42973''How long have you been here, Denise?'' 42973 ''If I should kill you,''he said,''how shall I escape?''
42973''In what way, dear child?'' 42973 ''Is M. Gabriel in the villa?''
42973''Is he asleep?'' 42973 ''Is it true,''my master whispered to me,''that your lady sent you for me?''
42973''It is a pity he writes books; but he is highly respected, is he not, Denise?'' 42973 ''It is true, mademoiselle, is it not?''
42973''Madam,''I inquired, addressing my wife,''may I inquire the cause of your tears?'' 42973 ''Mamma, do you like the way I have arranged the flowers?
42973''Mamma, may I bring papa into your room? 42973 ''Mamma,''he said,''are you rich?''
42973''May I go now, mamma?'' 42973 ''My wife, then, is one of those young lovers?
42973''Of his own accord?'' 42973 ''Then it is always summer there, mamma?''
42973''Was your master always a student, Denise?'' 42973 ''We shall all go there, mamma?''
42973''What do you require of me?'' 42973 ''What is it, Denise?''
42973''What sounds did you hear?'' 42973 ''What, then, is the meaning of this?''
42973''Who are you?'' 42973 ''Why not?
42973''Would you like some money, Christian,''said my lady,''to give to this poor girl''s mamma?'' 42973 ''Yes, sir,''I said,''but who could have done such a cruel thing?''
42973''You will send for him one day, my lady?'' 42973 A gentleman, eh?"
42973A man?
42973A new experience of your own, Edward?
42973A young woman?
42973Ah,said Pierre Lamont, with a scarcely perceptible sneer,"does your endorsement spring from judgment or self- interest?"
42973Ah,said a neighbour,"and what do you know of his lady wife?"
42973Am I? 42973 And Madeline-- was she acquainted with it?"
42973And at another time:''Papa, is not this beautiful?''
42973And for as many men?
42973And having seen him?
42973And her child, Madeline, was yours?
42973And his wife, Fritz, his wife?
42973And if a dozen or twenty deny it?
42973And if the peach should laugh in your face?
42973And in prolonging that pain?
42973And into this room-- how did you enter?
42973And it made you nervous? 42973 And last night,"continued John Vanbrugh,"he received you in his study?"
42973And soul?
42973And the men were contented? 42973 And then?"
42973And then?
42973And thinking of love,added the Advocate''s wife;"for what else should make it red?
42973And this?
42973And this?
42973And what did she say,asked Mother Denise,"when you argued with her?"
42973And with good news, for she promised to reward you for your kindness?
42973And would not have welcomed a violent and sudden death?
42973And you intend to defend such a creature?
42973And you said''yes''? 42973 And you will tell no one?''
42973And your own love- affair, Fritz, is that flourishing, eh? 42973 Any brothers or sisters?"
42973Are diamonds heavy, fool?
42973Are there any witnesses who would come forward and speak in your favour?
42973Are these the things,she asked of her husband,"the monster has been eating out of?"
42973Are you accomplices, you two knaves?
42973Are you acquainted with this man?
42973Are you angry with me for putting all this on paper? 42973 Are you deaf and dumb?"
42973Are you hungry?
42973Are you meditating an attack upon me? 42973 Are you not happy here?"
42973Are_ you_ going to pass on?
42973As he did?
42973As though there was a secret in her life she wished to conceal?
42973At such times, would it be likely that he would show any coolness or cunning?
42973At what time did you leave the girl on the last night you saw her alive?
42973At your trial?
42973But are you sure I did it?
42973But how can I blame my master? 42973 But how did you get to him, Gautran?
42973But if you have a secret, the revealing of which would be hurtful to you, can not the mischief be averted? 42973 But she herself, on the following day, questioned me:"''You were present yesterday,''she said,''at an interview between M. Gabriel and my husband?''
42973But she was capable of being aroused?
42973But the other servants are more courageous?
42973But why, Edward, why? 42973 But why, grandmother?"
42973But you did not see it?
42973But you do not love them?
42973But you will think over what I have said?
42973But you wish for something?
42973By natural passions?
42973By what means,he thought,"did this villain obtain information of my movements and residence, and what is his motive in coming here?
42973By whom were you told?
42973By whom, and when?
42973By whom, my lady, do you suppose these imaginary letters were intercepted?
42973By whom? 42973 Ca n''t you let me alone?"
42973Can I help you? 42973 Can I then, aver with any semblance of honesty that I have not betrayed my friend?
42973Can we?
42973Can you indicate anyone who would be likely to murder the girl? 42973 Can you pay for it?"
42973Can you read a woman''s thoughts?
42973Concerning me?
42973Confessed before his trial?
42973Dark or fair? 42973 Deserted her?"
42973Did I not tell you before? 42973 Did I not tell you,"said Fritz,"that he could turn black into white?
42973Did any of them visit the house?
42973Did he take a pleasure in inflicting physical pain upon those weaker than himself?
42973Did he tell you that he must see Madeline?
42973Did he use a weapon against you?
42973Did it create excitement?
42973Did she encourage you?
42973Did she know, when she called him to her, that he would look upon her dead face? 42973 Did she never speak to you concerning Madeline?"
42973Did she pay the rent regularly?
42973Did she permit the embrace?
42973Did she say how long she would be likely to be away?
42973Did she tell you she was poor?
42973Did she tell you so, and when?
42973Did she trade alone?
42973Did they have any settled plan of gaining a livelihood?
42973Did they resemble each other in feature?
42973Did you and he not work together as partners?
42973Did you ask her where she came from?
42973Did you endeavour to separate from him?
42973Did you ever attempt to embrace her?
42973Did you go to him, and ask him what he wanted?
42973Did you have reason to suspect that she was to meet any other man on that night?
42973Did you never hear Pauline address Madeline as her child?
42973Did you never see a hungry man eat before?
42973Did you not strike him with a weapon, and cut his forehead open?
42973Did you see her again after that?
42973Did you see this man again?
42973Dionetta,said the Advocate''s wife,"do you know that you have the prettiest name in the world?"
42973Dionetta,she said presently,"what makes you so pale?"
42973Disgrace?
42973Do we always do what is wise?
42973Do you believe Gautran was innocent?
42973Do you believe that a ruffian like Gautran would have refrained from using his knife upon the body of his victim, to shorten the terrible struggle? 42973 Do you come to beg?"
42973Do you expect to be believed in the answers you have given?
42973Do you hear me?
42973Do you hear me?
42973Do you know Heinrich Heitz?
42973Do you know that they were not encouraged from statements made to you by Pauline and Madeline?
42973Do you know the Widow Joseph?
42973Do you know where they came from?
42973Do you need them from me? 42973 Do you not know me?"
42973Do you suppose I care for money?
42973Do you think I do, child?
42973Do you think he can escape, Fritz?
42973Do you think it possible he can escape?
42973Do you think the law would set me free if I was guilty?
42973Does he say he is unwell?
42973Does she look coldly upon him, or he upon her?
42973During the time you worked with him, did he know you as Heinrich Heitz?
42973Everything-- positively everything?
42973Fair and beautiful?
42973Family pictures?
42973For how long?
42973For what purpose?
42973For what reason?
42973For what reasons?
42973For what, master, for what? 42973 For what?
42973Four nights before Madeline met her death, was Gautran outside your house?
42973Free, am I?
42973Friends?
42973Fritz,said the host of the inn of The Seven Liars,"do you know anything of the great man?"
42973From this do you infer that they were not related to each other?
42973From what motive, Gautran-- compassion?
42973From what part of the country did she come?
42973Gentle as she was, she possessed strength?
42973Gold, for wine, and pleasure, and fine clothes?
42973Had she bound herself to marry you?
42973Had she no father to protect her?
42973Had the poor girl any other lovers?
42973Has any examination whatever been made of you by doctors or gaolers or lawyers?
42973Has she discharged you?
42973Has she not given you a character?
42973Has the monster confessed?
42973Have I not eyes in my head and blood in my veins?
42973Have I not heard of a case,asked a guest of Pierre Lamont,"in which a lawyer defended a murderer, knowing him to be guilty?"
42973Have I, my lady? 42973 Have I?"
42973Have you a name?
42973Have you a permanent address?
42973Have you any?
42973Have you been married?
42973Have you been paid by the Advocate to do this deed?
42973Have you come straight from the villa?
42973Have you come to see me?
42973Have you confided in her?
42973Have you ever considered how utterly different my life might have been had you not crossed it? 42973 Have you ever lived with a woman who should have been your wife?"
42973Have you formed an opinion upon the case?
42973Have you parents?
42973Have you wife or children?
42973He has not been to the house to make inquiries?
42973He is a man of great strength?
42973He sleeps there, does he? 42973 He speaks falsely when he says that Madeline promised to marry him?"
42973He told you that last night?
42973Her disposition was a happy one?
42973Her mother never spoke to you about either her daughter or Madeline?
42973Her name?
42973Her refusal to tell you-- was it lightly or seriously uttered?
42973His name?
42973His temper is ungovernable?
42973How am I to get there? 42973 How brought about, fool?"
42973How came it about? 42973 How can I help being a woman of impulse?
42973How can you, if I do not possess it? 42973 How did he get his living?"
42973How did you gain that knowledge?
42973How do you apply that, Fritz?
42973How do you know it?
42973How do you know? 42973 How does that cruel threat accord with a mild and affectionate nature?"
42973How does that sound, men?
42973How happened it, then, that you conversed about me?
42973How long had you known the girl?
42973How many days longer is it likely to last?
42973How many women have you loved?
42973How much does he know?
42973How much money have you?
42973How shall I pass the night?
42973How should I get one? 42973 How should I?"
42973How stands the pretty maid with her new mistress?
42973How was it received?
42973How would opposition affect him?
42973How, then, did this hapless lady become my wife? 42973 How, then, stands the case as between you and my brother the Advocate?
42973How,continued Vanbrugh,"to turn that fact to advantage?
42973How? 42973 I am to leave you, then?"
42973I beg your pardon, sir,she said;"but may I ask why I am discharged?"
42973I want to know,he said at length, with a clicking in his throat,"whether you''ve been paid for what you did for me?"
42973If Gautran did not murder the girl, who did?
42973If I am not safe here, master, where shall I find safety?
42973If you do not find your wife you will endeavour to return to us?
42973In consequence of this, did you not threaten to murder him?
42973In his paroxysms of fury would not an appeal to his humanity have a softening effect upon him?
42973In the name of all that is mischievous,cried Vanbrugh,"what is it you want?"
42973In what condition was it at the time?
42973In what part?
42973Is Fritz your grandson, then?
42973Is Pauline awake now?
42973Is he going to do that for me?
42973Is he young-- handsome-- and was it done through jealousy?
42973Is it murder or robbery?
42973Is it my fancy,said Vanbrugh,"or is it a real sound I hear?
42973Is it not already imperilled? 42973 Is it not possible that he may have been Pauline''s lover?"
42973Is it not probable that she, also, may have met with foul play?
42973Is it possible,thought the priest,"that the girl whose name she utters with agonised affection is the poor child who was so ruthlessly murdered?"
42973Is it the speech of an innocent man? 42973 Is it to favour me with your philosophies that you pay me this visit?"
42973Is it to tell me this you disturbed me?
42973Is it true that you were walking with the girl on the night she was murdered?
42973Is it, Dionetta, really, now, is it?
42973Is not my money as good as another man''s?
42973Is that another of your compliments? 42973 Is that your name, my lady?"
42973Is the fate of a woman involved in your secret?
42973Is the great lawyer going to defend you?
42973Is there an inner room?
42973Is there another in the world like you?
42973Is there silence between them?
42973Is this,cried Gautran, smiting his face with his fist,"to stand as a witness against me, too?"
42973Is your wife, as you are, mountain born?
42973It is a fact that he was often seen in Madeline''s company?
42973It is true, is it not, that, when you were in practice, you were called the lawyer with the silver tongue?
42973Knowing Madeline somewhat intimately, you must have known Pauline?
42973Knowing it was my room?
42973Known what?
42973Master Lamont,said Fritz,"are you asking me to do a man''s work?''
42973May I crave privacy for a few minutes?
42973May I join you?
42973May I know what it is?
42973May I, my lady?
42973May not a man defend himself? 42973 Me?"
42973Murdered?
42973My company?
42973No, my lady, nothing was taken; but what is the use of speaking of it?
42973No-- but may I speak?
42973Nor mother?
42973Not even the Advocate?
42973Not knowing?
42973Not you, of course, child-- would you have me believe that? 42973 Now what induced him,"he said after a pause,"to spirit himself away so mysteriously?
42973Now, Gautran,said the Advocate,"why do you come to me?"
42973Of those who have erred with deliberate intention and those who have been hurried blindly into error, which should you be most ready to forgive?
42973Of what nature, Fritz?
42973Oh, grandmother, whoever thinks of marrying?
42973On the night of her murder?
42973One who sold flowers in the streets of Geneva-- whose name was Madeline?
42973Only beginning? 42973 Or mother and daughter?"
42973Poor? 42973 Possessed with an idea which he was determined to carry out, is it likely that anything would soften him?"
42973Power, to crush those you hate, and make them smart and bleed?
42973Pretty?
42973Referring to me?
42973Say? 42973 Shall we change?"
42973She had many admirers?
42973She has paid you, has she not?
42973She is not here, then?
42973She must have made it so in her struggles, or----"Or?
42973She resisted you successfully?
42973She resisted you?
42973She was alone at that hour?
42973She was fond of you?
42973She was very gentle?
42973Sisters?
42973So that the committal of a great wrong may be justified by circumstances?
42973So, you have been thinking of the reason that made so fair a lady marry an icicle?
42973Something discreditable, then?
42973Something of less worth-- your soul?
42973Strength which she would exert to protect herself from insult?
42973Such signs, then, are the signs of innocence?
42973Surely you are not going to defend him?
42973Tall?
42973That is all you can tell me?
42973That is not said to Madeline''s disparagement?
42973That is what you call being prudent?
42973That is your explanation?
42973The Advocate, then?
42973The answer then, fool?
42973The man is guilty, else why should he fear? 42973 The poor child, Madeline, and her companion, Pauline, lived in your house?"
42973The verdict, Fritz, the verdict?
42973Then Gautran''s declaration that he was Madeline''s accepted lover is false?
42973Then what,he exclaimed,"in the fiend''s name made you come forward?"
42973Then you intend to hide nothing from me?
42973There was a light in the Advocate''s study, was there not?
42973There was, however, some secret between them?
42973They addressed each other by their Christian names?
42973They all lie who utter a word against you?
42973They have been speaking of it, then?
42973Think you do what, my lady?
42973This is Gautran?
42973This is a serious business, then?
42973This young flower- girl-- was she virtuous?
42973Those are not the men for us, are they, little one?
42973Threatened with such a fate, she would have resisted?
42973To whom is this known?
42973Upon what evidence?
42973Upon what grounds?
42973Was Madeline my daughter?
42973Was any one of these lovers especially favoured?
42973Was anything taken from you?
42973Was he noted for his cruel disposition in his childhood?
42973Was he, then, an absolute stranger to you?
42973Was it wise to take upon yourself the weight of so harassing a trial?
42973Was she an amiable girl?
42973Was the man watching this house?
42973Was the partnership an agreeable one?
42973Well, Fritz, well?
42973Well, Fritz,called out Pierre Lamont,"is the trial over?"
42973Well, Gautran?
42973Well, friend?
42973Well?
42973Were they sisters, or mother and daughter?
42973Were you engaged on any work? 42973 Were you ever followed by a spirit?"
42973Were you in that state on the night of her death?
42973Were you not acquainted with her before?
42973Were you not continually quarrelling, and did he not wish to break the partnership?
42973What about it, then?
42973What about this murder?
42973What are you gazing at?
42973What are you gazing on?
42973What are you staring at?
42973What became of the lawyer?
42973What can I have to do with them?
42973What can I say, my lady?
42973What demon prompted them? 42973 What do you say?
42973What do you think I have concealed, my lady?
42973What do you think of it?
42973What do you want of me?
42973What does not escape me, fool?
42973What else should they be?
42973What else? 42973 What has become of the woman you speak of as Pauline?"
42973What has come over this man?
42973What if I am Gautran?
42973What is her name, and where does she come from?
42973What is it all for, master?
42973What is it you are saying?
42973What is it you behold amidst the darkness of this appalling night?
42973What is that to me?
42973What is that word, Adelaide?
42973What is that you are saying?
42973What is the nature of this secret which made him fear your presence?
42973What language is this?
42973What makes you drink to_ our_ enemies, Gautran?
42973What matter,muttered Gautran,"if he gets me off?
42973What matter? 42973 What matters?
42973What more was needed to set me longing for it? 42973 What need, my son,"asked Father Capel,"if you have a conscience?"
42973What now?
42973What proofs? 42973 What property?"
42973What quality, Edward?
42973What reason has he to fear you?
42973What relationship existed between Pauline and Madeline?
42973What should have made your old master so anxious that you should not speak of the sounds you heard? 42973 What should make them speak falsely instead of truly?"
42973What trick are you going to play me, master?
42973What were your impressions of them? 42973 What will the verdict be?"
42973What would the world do without them? 42973 What would you accuse me of?
42973What would you have done in the age of giants?
42973What would you purchase?
42973What, then, becomes of the evidence of a terrible life and death struggle in which it is said he was engaged? 42973 When did you not contrive to have your own way?
42973When you were arrested you were searched?
42973Where was Madeline at this time?
42973Where, then?
42973Which came upon you unaware-- for which your foresight could not have provided?
42973Which must have occurred to you since we were last together?
42973Which way, then, did you come?
42973Who are you?
42973Who brought your letter to my room?
42973Who calls for help?
42973Who can doubt it?
42973Who comes this way?
42973Who could resist such pleading? 42973 Who gave it to you, then?"
42973Who is he, and what is his business with me?
42973Who is this Pierre Lamont?
42973Who may this be?
42973Who met her death in the river Rhone?'' 42973 Who should disturb you?"
42973Who will be the first?
42973Who will pay you for your goodness to this poor creature?
42973Who,he thought,"has taken it into his head to come my way?
42973Who-- and for what purpose?
42973Whom do you seek?
42973Why did Pauline leave the girl?
42973Why did the famous Advocate undertake the defence?
42973Why did you not speak of it before?
42973Why do you do that, Mistress?
42973Why do you not speak?
42973Why do you shudder?
42973Why not? 42973 Why not?"
42973Why should she be glad, Dionetta?
42973Why should she object? 42973 Why yes-- who is not?"
42973Why, master, are not my enemies yours, and yours mine? 42973 Why, no,"he said with a sigh of relief;"what reason have I to think otherwise?
42973Why, rather?
42973Why, then, do you confide in me?
42973Why?
42973Why?
42973Why?
42973Will my lord and my lady,said this official,"honour us by remaining long in our town?
42973Will she never, never leave me?
42973Will the day be fine?
42973Will you take the oath?'' 42973 Will you?"
42973Would you condemn a man upon insufficient evidence?
42973Would you have harmed the girl?
42973Would you like to do something for me that I would trust no other to do?
42973Would you not prefer to live in a city?
42973You also have a secret then?
42973You and he were comrades for a time?
42973You are a woodman?
42973You are not afraid,he said,"to speak the truth to me, Gautran?"
42973You are not fooling me, Fritz?
42973You believe in ghosts?
42973You believe she was fond of life?
42973You can do that?
42973You did not get along well with him?
42973You do n''t know, then, where she was born?
42973You do not even know his name?
42973You have his address?
42973You have met him since then?
42973You have no intention of marrying?
42973You have no reason to suppose, when Pauline went away, that she had no intention of returning?
42973You insist,said the judge,"that Madeline accepted you as her lover?"
42973You intend, poor as you confess yourself, to become rich?
42973You knew, before I came, that you were to be my maid?
42973You know Gautran''s face well?
42973You know him to be so?
42973You know that?
42973You made love to her?
42973You never courted Katherine Scherrer?
42973You never lived with her?
42973You never loved another?
42973You recognise her?
42973You reject my friendship?
42973You saw nothing, Christian?
42973You think yourself a match for twenty women?
42973You understand all these books, Master Lamont?
42973You want to know if I killed her?
42973You were acquainted with Madeline?
42973You were acquainted with him when he was a lad?
42973You were always kind to Madeline?
42973You will even go so far as to declare that you never saw her before to- day?
42973You will give me nothing?
42973You will not give me another glass, master?
42973You will not strike?
42973You will not tell on me, Master Lamont?
42973You would deny it?
42973You would like to have one you could love?
42973You would not have the courage to go where one was to be seen?
42973You yourself admired her?
42973Young?
42973Your name is Joseph?
42973Your name, with my assistance, you could trace?
42973Your wife''s?
42973Yours?
42973''Ah,''said he,''you are Fritz the Fool; why do you dog me?''
42973''Am I not a gentleman?''
42973''Could they reach it, do you think?''
42973''Did you ever hear of such a thing?''
42973''Do you mean to give me up?''
42973''Faster than bees to flowers they wing their way;''that is how the line runs, is it not?
42973''Here, and now?''
42973''How shall one be forgiven for breaking up his life?''
42973''How will he get out?''
42973''I may congratulate you?''
42973''Is it not I rather should demand it?''
42973''Shall I go and tell papa now?
42973''They are yours, then?''
42973''What is your objection to me?''
42973''What journey?''
42973''When my eyes were opened to the truth, how was I to know that you had not shared in the plot against me?
42973''Whither?''
42973''Who gave you the ring?''
42973''Why do you persist in your attempts to force yourself upon me?''
42973''Would you have believed it of her?''
42973A flower, now-- is it not sweet-- is it not enough that it is sent to give us pleasure?
42973A princess, probably, or at least a lady of quality?
42973Add one to one-- what do you make of it?"
42973Afraid?
42973Ah, why was n''t I born rich?
42973Almer?"
42973Almer?"
42973Almer?''
42973Am I free to go from your house?''
42973Am I going to pass on?
42973Am I guilty because of that?
42973Am I not a man?
42973Am I not strong enough to avoid the peril?
42973Am I to be set free or not?"
42973Am I, then, as low as he, and do the best of us, in our pride of winning the crown, indulge in self- delusions at which a child might feel ashamed?
42973And he said aloud:"Can you ascertain for me if Fritz the Fool has returned from Geneva?"
42973And now-- how stood the account?
42973And should I not behave honestly to him, and make him as wise as I am on events within my knowledge?
42973Are all spirits silent?
42973Are there any books in the room?
42973Are there not certain duties which I ought to perform?
42973Are there not fruit- trees here, laden with wholesome food, within any thief''s grasp?
42973Are you a coward?''
42973Are you a would- be thief or murderer?
42973Are you acquainted with Katherine Scherrer?"
42973Are you acquainted with this Gautran?"
42973Are you aware of the existence of this document?"
42973Are you aware that you are robbing me?"
42973Are you dreaming?"
42973Are you hurt much?"
42973Are you one of those who were fighting in the midst of this awful darkness?"
42973Are you prepared to do as I bid you?"
42973As to their social position?
42973Beatrice asked in a whisper, as they turned and looked pitifully at her:"''Who are they, Denise?''
42973Beatrice came out of the gates and said:"''Denise, will you pass the post- office in Geneva?''
42973Before he reached the door he turned and said:"Are you still resolved to send your maid away?
42973Being a woman, what woman?
42973But how?
42973But is it likely she should know better than her mother?
42973But master, will you not tell me something more?
42973But these disagreeable people say,''Of what is this flower composed-- is it as good as other flowers-- has it qualities, and what qualities?''
42973But what can an old cripple do?
42973But why should she suffer?
42973But why should you call him so unless you knew him to be guilty?
42973CHAPTER VII MISTRESS AND MAID"Dionetta?"
42973CHAPTER XI A CRISIS"Have I disturbed you, Christian?"
42973CHAPTER XV GAUTRAN AND THE ADVOCATE"How long have I been asleep?"
42973Can I not?"
42973Can a man choose his own parents and his country?
42973Can you assert the same?
42973Can you divine any cause for unusual melancholy in him?"
42973Can you explain that to me in one word?"
42973Can you furnish any clue, even the slightest, which might enable us to find her?"
42973Can you imagine anything more dreadful than being struck blind?
42973Can you write?"
42973Christian, what did you mean by saying to him,''My thoughts are not under my control while you have your hand on that letter''?
42973Could anything be more absurd?
42973Could anything be more enticing?
42973Could anything be more perfect?
42973Could he arrest the furious torrent and stand unwounded on the shore, pure and scatheless in the eyes of men?
42973Could he climb over them?
42973Could she so measure her moments upon earth as to be certain that her heart would cease to beat as he entered the room at her bidding?
42973Denise, are all M. Gabriel''s sketches and paintings in this studio?''
42973Denise, did my daughter ever complain to you?''
42973Did she strike you?"
42973Did she?
42973Did they sadden me?
42973Did you believe them to be humbly born?"
42973Did you do so with your own hands?
42973Did you not hear it?"
42973Did you paint or write?"
42973Did you pursue it?
42973Did you think of me, Christian, while I was locked up there?"
42973Dionetta, it was you who arranged the flowers?"
42973Dishonour?"
42973Do n''t tell anybody, will you, Fritz?
42973Do n''t you see he is jesting with you?
42973Do n''t you see that even he is on my side, though it is against himself?
42973Do some people never think of another life, a life of rewards and punishments, according to their actions in this world?
42973Do they quarrel?"
42973Do you catch the perfume of the limes?
42973Do you deny saying so?"
42973Do you forget already what has passed between you?
42973Do you know him?"
42973Do you know me?"
42973Do you know what has become of him?"
42973Do you know why I tell you things?"
42973Do you know why, Dionetta?
42973Do you know, Gautran, a kind of self- despisal stirs within me at the present moment?
42973Do you mean that?''
42973Do you mean to tell me you have not a lover?"
42973Do you not judge human passions by human standards?
42973Do you not know her?"
42973Do you not see how weak I am?"
42973Do you recognise how truly I spoke when I said that men like ourselves are the slaves, and peasants the free men?
42973Do you still deny it?"
42973Do you think I do n''t pity her?
42973Do you think I look twenty- five?"
42973Do you think I wish to stand in your eyes as a perfect man?
42973Do you think it possible I could ever have accepted the hand of another man?
42973Does it begin to assume a value?
42973Does this prove it?"
42973During your intimacy, was any chance word or remark made by either of the women which, followed up, might furnish the information?"
42973Edward, do you hear?"
42973Eh, Fritz-- eh?"
42973Else why the unusual care of the child?
42973Even then you would be ready to excuse and forgive?"
42973Father, is there hope for a murderer?
42973For coming into your room, and not finding you there, throwing myself in a corner like a dog?"
42973Forgive me for asking, but is it really true that you will send for my master to- morrow?''
42973Fritz indulged in another fit of laughter, and then exclaimed:"She has caught you too, eh?
42973From what?"
42973Gabriel?''
42973Gabriel?''
42973Gautran glared at the men and women, and asked:"Who do you take me for?"
42973Gautran took a long draught and returned the flask, saying,"You have no food, I suppose?"
42973Gautran, do you hear me?
42973Grumble?
42973Had you not better keep her with you till you see whether you are likely to be suited at Almer''s house?"
42973Has he not been often entreated by our child?''
42973Has he risen from his grave?
42973Has my life, then, been surrounded by dreams, and do I now awake to find how low and abominable are the inner workings of my nature?
42973Have I created a monster who is destined to be the terror and torture of my life?
42973Have not full descriptions of the murderer been put about everywhere?
42973Have the pretty red lips kissed a''Yes''yet?"
42973Have they caught him?
42973Have they no voice to speak?
42973Have you anything to tell me?"
42973Have you been there before?
42973Have you ever considered it, Master Lamont?"
42973Have you fixed your affections upon a woman who does not reciprocate your love?"
42973Have you got a bit of something that a poor fellow can chew-- the end of a cigar, or a nip of tobacco?"
42973Have you got any more of that brandy about you?"
42973Have you heard any good of me, master?"
42973Have you not had enough of the gaol?"
42973Have you not outraged what is most honourable and sacred?
42973Have you possession of the paper you speak of?"
42973Have you read the papers this morning?"
42973He addressed himself to the dying man:"You are he who was tried for the murder of Madeline, the flower- girl?"
42973He has insulted me-- and what woman ever forgets or forgives an insult?
42973He lives yonder, then?"
42973He put himself in the place of the public, and he asked:"Why, at such a time, in such a spot, did Gautran confess to you?
42973He saw Gautran in your study after the trial----""Have I been watched?"
42973He searched the avenues, he listened, he asked aloud:"Is any person near, and does he wish to speak to me?"
42973He who defended you, and so blinded the judgment of men as to cause them to set a murderer loose?"
42973How about one and one being one?"
42973How am I endangered?
42973How am I to know it now?''
42973How could I help being jealous when I loved her?
42973How could you have been so imprudent, so reckless, as to laugh?"
42973How could you have kept away from me so long?"
42973How did it ever do without them?
42973How did you contrive it?"
42973How did you guess, Master Lamont?"
42973How did you obtain admission into the grounds?"
42973How does your new maid suit you?"
42973How much is that worth?"
42973How much?"
42973How old was he then?"
42973How runs the matter?
42973How should he deal with Gautran''s confession?
42973How should you know that a mother would conspire against her daughter''s happiness?
42973How then?
42973How was this to be accomplished?
42973How will he atone for it?--how_ can_ atone for it?
42973How will you if, possessing it, I refuse to give it you?"
42973How, and in what way, to make it worth a sum sufficiently large to satisfy me?
42973How, then, could this man have been engaged in a violent and prolonged hand- to- hand conflict?
42973Human?
42973Humanity?
42973I ask you what course you have determined upon?''
42973I have not hurt you, have I?''
42973I set the earrings swinging with my fingers and said,''Where did you get these wonderful things from?''
42973If I refuse?"
42973If everybody did the same, would not this world be a great deal pleasanter than it is?
42973If it were in his power to ascertain the truth, might not the revelation cause him additional sorrow?
42973If the man is guilty, should he not be punished?"
42973In what way could this be done?
42973In what way?"
42973Innocent laughter, music, pleasant society-- what better kind of medicine is there in the world?
42973Is Christian Almer with you?"
42973Is he not good?''
42973Is he shrewd enough, clever enough, cunning enough, to use his power as I should use it were I in his place, and he in mine?
42973Is it likely that my advice would be of assistance?"
42973Is it likely they took this road?''
42973Is it possible, I asked myself, that she married me without loving me?
42973Is it the way of lovers, Master Lamont?
42973Is not my death enough for you?
42973Is not one killing enough for you?''
42973Is not that a carriage driving up at the gates?"
42973Is that an answer to your forebodings?"
42973Is that so, Christian?"
42973Is the man guilty or not guilty?
42973Is there a mystery in his trouble with which I am not acquainted?
42973Is there any need for me to introduce myself?"
42973Is there any offence in asking the colour of it?"
42973Is there some pretty girl to attract you, from whom you find it impossible to tear yourself?
42973Is this Heaven''s deed, or man''s?"
42973Is this, also, a chance encounter?
42973It was a girl who was murdered?"
42973It was cleverly worked, was it not?"
42973It was natural that this should have happened; but what good could come of this better understanding?
42973John Vanbrugh recoiled from the murderer in horror, and in a suppressed tone asked:"When the Advocate defended you, did he know you were guilty?"
42973Mamma, are there flowers in heaven?''
42973Master Lamont, now-- what would you say about him?
42973Master Lamont-- he is an old man?"
42973May I help myself?
42973May I look at it?
42973Mischief enough have you accomplished-- this night will put an end to your power to work further ill.''"''What do you intend to do with me?''
42973My husband is here?''
42973Neither have you experienced a disappointment in friendship?"
42973Now ca n''t you guess the name of that man?"
42973Now, mamma, tell me-- do you think papa is happy?''
42973Now, what made me step quite close to them, and put my eye to a pane which the curtains did not quite cover?
42973Now, who would have thought it?
42973Now, you dear old soul, are you satisfied?"
42973Of what kind?"
42973On her deathbed my mother spoke to you of that letter?''
42973On which side did you walk-- next to my lady or Dionetta?"
42973Or did it proceed from another cause, which warned me of danger?
42973Or that I do not know that you and I and all men are possessed of contradictions which, viewed in certain aspects, may degrade the most noble?
42973Papa is a good man, is he not, mamma?''
42973Pardon me-- an older man than yourself, and one who is well disposed towards you-- for asking you bluntly whether such things have come to you?"
42973Pauline loved Madeline?"
42973Pauline replied,"Can not you see?
42973Really and truly, you have not a lover?"
42973Right or wrong, rogue?"
42973Say that the secret refers to Gautran and to your defence of him?"
42973Shall I ask her to give it to you-- or will you come and ask for it yourself?''
42973Shall I continue?"
42973Shall I go for him now?''
42973Shall I pause a while before I continue?"
42973Shall I tell you what is in your mind?"
42973Shall I tell you what the Advocate said of you this evening?
42973Shall such a monster be allowed to remain at liberty to strike women down and murder the helpless?
42973Shall we call it a spirit of restlessness, or jealousy, or love?"
42973Shall we follow the teaching of this Solon in petticoats?"
42973She dared not put her soul in peril, she said; she did not love me-- how could she swear to be true to me?
42973Should he dare it, and brave it, and bow his head?
42973Since she left, have you seen the man who was so frequently with her?"
42973Since your arrest, have you been examined as I have examined you?"
42973So did you, did you not, mamma?
42973Speak, then; what would you urge me to do?"
42973Suspicious, was it not?
42973Sympathy?
42973Tempter, have you not the courage to come straight to the point?"
42973That he lacks brains?"
42973That is not to be borne, but what is the alternative?
42973That is the way of it, is it not, Master Lamont?"
42973The Advocate:"And have the crime of murder upon my soul?"
42973The attraction-- what was it?
42973The green valleys-- the grandeur of the scenery?
42973The house was not robbed, was it?"
42973The persecuted lady whose story your grandmother has told us-- what happiness did she enjoy in her life?
42973The power to prevent your name being uttered with horror?
42973The ringing of a bell-- and now, a beating at the gates without, and a man''s voice calling loudly?"
42973The room looks pretty, does it not?''
42973The security of your reputation?
42973The statements of newspaper reporters-- the idle and mischievous tattle of persons who can not be put into the witness- box?"
42973The striking of the clock?
42973The verdict; Acquitted?"
42973The world did not know; what reason was there that it should be enlightened-- that he should enlighten it, to his own injury?
42973Then after a slight pause, the Advocate asked:"Do you value your liberty?"
42973Then what is the use of prayer?
42973Then why does it not make you happy?''
42973There is murder in Gautran''s face; there was murder in the words I heard him speak as I followed him:''Is not one killing enough for you?''
42973There now, does it not prove I am right?
42973This very case of Gautran-- what is its leading feature?
42973Tired of my company already?
42973To be sure of my affection-- is not that sufficient?"
42973To the question asked of them,"What are you?"
42973To which the other replied:"How will you manage that, if you have never seen his face?"
42973Was I ever followed by a spirit?
42973Was I to blame for that?
42973Was anybody there?
42973Was he not himself the greatest sinner in that fatal house?
42973Was he strong enough to withstand this?
42973Was it a secret in which honour was involved?
42973Was it honest?''
42973Was it likely then, that he, the younger and the more impressionable of the two, could escape snares into which the Advocate had fallen?
42973Was it not best, after all, to do as he had said to the Advocate that night, to submit without a struggle?
42973Was it not shocking?
42973Was it the actual sound of muffled footsteps, or the spiritual influence of an unseen presence, which disturbed him?
42973We are old friends, are we not?
42973We entered the cottage, and remained an hour, and as we walked home Master Christian said:"''If I were dying, would my mamma and papa sit like that?''
42973Well, then, what more can I say?"
42973Were any of the other servants disturbed?"
42973Were any traces of blood discovered in the grounds?"
42973Were death preferable to a life weighed down by a crime such as mine?
42973Were you asleep or awake at the time?"
42973Were you guilty or innocent of the murder of Madeline?"
42973Were you set upon, or were you the attacker in this evil combat?"
42973Were you very much frightened?
42973What are they doing?''
42973What are you ready to pay for them?"
42973What are you watching his house for?
42973What brought you here?
42973What can be the meaning of it?"
42973What can be worse for a young and beautiful creature than to marry a poor and struggling artist?
42973What caused you to make yourself scarce so suddenly last night?
42973What could you say?"
42973What do I care?
42973What do you know of the man whom you have slain?"
42973What do you propose to do?"
42973What do you say to letting Father Capel into the mystery?"
42973What do you think a friend of yours, a banker in Geneva, suggested to the Advocate?
42973What do you think of the spirit, Fritz, the appearance of which so alarmed one of the young ladies in our merry party to- night?"
42973What does a man want with a room full of roses?"
42973What does it matter if it is in the middle of the day or the middle of the night?
42973What else could he do?"
42973What follows then?
42973What had occasioned her alarm?
42973What happens?
42973What harm is there in our having a moment''s chat?
42973What have I to sell?
42973What have you to say to this?"
42973What if I were to summon my servants and have you marched off to gaol?"
42973What is a poor wretch to do with nothing but empty pockets?"
42973What is her disposition-- pensive or gay?
42973What is his purpose?"
42973What is it about?
42973What is it you fear?"
42973What is it, Master Lamont, what is it?"
42973What is it, then, you do fear?"
42973What is right, is right, is it not, without thinking of the time?
42973What is that?
42973What is the good of them?
42973What is the life of a dog-- of a thousand dogs-- when a man is in love?"
42973What is the thought that has suddenly entered your head?"
42973What is your name?"
42973What is your real opinion of him, Christian?"
42973What lawyer works without pay, and where should I find the money to pay him?"
42973What letter was it?"
42973What made me come forward to the assistance of such a scoundrel?
42973What matters?
42973What motive had he?
42973What other man, having the option, would not have done as he was about to do?
42973What right had he deliberately to ruin and expose her?
42973What say you, Christian?
42973What say you, Fritz?"
42973What say you?"
42973What secret would be revealed if the heart of this mystery were laid bare to his sight?
42973What shall I say when people see them?"
42973What shall we do?"
42973What should hinder me?"
42973What use in being a fool if you do n''t know how to take advantage of your opportunities?"
42973What use to infuse into the sunlight, and the balmy air, and into all the sweets of life, the poison of self- torture?
42973What use?
42973What use?
42973What was his duty, what was yours, when you and he met in my presence, when I introduced you to each other, for the first time as I thought?
42973What was the use of beauty, diamonds, flowers, dresses?
42973What was your thought, Adelaide?"
42973What will the folks say?"
42973What you give I shall be grateful for; but rob you?
42973What, now, remains to be told?
42973What, then, had induced him to come forward voluntarily in defence of this monster?
42973What, then, in a simple trial for murder, had caused the excitement?
42973What, then, was my motive?
42973What, then, will you answer?"
42973What, then?
42973When comparative silence reigned, he shouted again:"Who calls for help?
42973When he defended you, he knew you to be guilty?"
42973When he was with my lady, it was:"''Mamma, why do you not go and speak to papa?
42973When she sees me coming, will she not be frightened to meet me?
42973When were the first words spoken?
42973When will science supply mankind with the means of seeing, as well as hearing, what is transpiring on the other side of stone and wooden walls?
42973When?
42973Where are you?
42973Where have you been?
42973Where is the harm?
42973Where is''your fair lady?"
42973Where love commences?
42973Where would be the use?
42973Where, master, and when?"
42973Whether you love without being loved in return?"
42973Which one, which one, you beautiful animal?"
42973Which was the most to be pitied-- my lady, or her innocent, devoted husband, who lived in ignorance of the wrong which had been done?
42973Which way runs your taste, fool?"
42973While it was proceeding, the questions which men and women asked freely of each other were:"What news from the court- house?"
42973Who tells me?
42973Who would say that that was not wise?
42973Who, then, can see the stain?"
42973Who?"
42973Why did you not come to me the moment you received my note?"
42973Why did you prevent justice being done upon a murderer?"
42973Why do you close your eyes?"
42973Why do you not adopt a country life?"
42973Why does Mr. Almer not like to live here?
42973Why have you chosen to hide yourself in the mountains, a hundred and a hundred miles away?
42973Why should he die at my hands?"
42973Why should he not come and remain with us during our stay in the village?
42973Why was it so called?"
42973Why, then, am I discharged?
42973Why, then, should he torture himself unnecessarily?
42973Why, therefore, did my heart sink as I gazed at her?
42973Why?
42973Why?
42973Why?"
42973Will Beatrice be the next?''
42973Will that tempt you?
42973Will you allow Denise to wait upon me?''
42973Will you allow me to go?"
42973Will you do it for me?''
42973Will you not be satisfied, you, with my punishment?
42973With the Advocate?"
42973Without my permission you will not speak of it-- do you hear me, Fritz?"
42973Women were made for love-- and men, too, or where would be the use?
42973Would it end by changing his very nature?
42973Would it fall, and in its fall compel into a definite course the conflicting passions by which he was tortured?
42973Would it have been better had I allowed myself to be killed?
42973Would not her despair urge her to seek revenge upon the man who betrayed and deserted her, and who set her daughter''s murderer free?"
42973Would not that do your business more effectually?"
42973Would that paper, in conjunction with what I have already offered for sale, be worth your purchase?
42973Would you believe it, child, in spite of all this, I was the most miserable woman in the universe?"
42973Would you like to hear it?"
42973Would you really like to change?"
42973Yet what motive could I have had in setting him free?"
42973You are a priest; have you no power over her?
42973You are a stranger in these parts-- there is no offence in that, is there?"
42973You ask yourself,''Is it for this I am here?
42973You believe she will be happy, do you not, Denise?''
42973You believe that I knew Gautran to be guilty when I defended him?"
42973You did not know, before I informed you, that he lived in the villa yonder?"
42973You did not lose it?''
42973You did not tell my daughter I took it from you?''
42973You do not understand me?
42973You do not wish to stop in Geneva, then?"
42973You have come to stay?"
42973You have heard the news?"
42973You have no lawyer to defend you?"
42973You have received letters from him lately, I believe?"
42973You hear me-- you understand me?"
42973You loved M. Gabriel before you met me-- was I to blame for that?
42973You received my letter asking for an interview?
42973You received my letter?"
42973You want to know if I can point out anyone who could have done the deed but me?
42973You were made to believe he was false to you-- was I to blame for that?
42973You would not be frightened if you were with me?"
42973Your decision is irrevocable?"
42973Your fame-- your honour?
42973Your news, fool-- concerning whom?"
42973Your prompting of evil spirits, what becomes of it?"
42973Your word against a hundred men such as I and Gautran?
42973asked Dionetta, her eyes growing larger and rounder with wonder;"and does my lady know it?"
42973asked the Advocate,"or are you seeking shelter from the storm?"
42973echoed the Advocate absently, and added:"Who can tell what may happen from one hour to another?"
42973interposed the Advocate''s wife;"that Mr. Almer should marry?
42973murmured the priest, quickening his steps,"will the evil passions of men never be stilled?
42973said Dionetta,"and shall you tell them to me?"
42973said Father Capel, kneeling by the dying man,"that lies here in this sad condition?
42973she asked, I have no doubt wondering at his question;''in money?
42973sighed Father Capel;"how shall such a crime be expiated?"
42973thought Pierre Lamont;"or are his suspicions but just aroused?
42973where will not the passions of men lead them?"
42973why do you not speak?
42973why will you not love papa as I do?''
42973you are not going on?"
42973you, too, brat?
19485A broken soldier living on an hour of chance service? 19485 A corrupter of women, as you called him?"
19485A laboratory in which he reads much in unknown tongues? 19485 A month''s work?"
19485A month? 19485 A phial?"
19485A price?
19485A remedy?
19485A scrap of parchment then? 19485 A woman, then?
19485Afraid?
19485Ah?
19485Ah?
19485All?
19485An old soldier, Messer Petitot?
19485And Grio?
19485And I ask you, what is it? 19485 And I ask you, young man, what are you going to do?"
19485And I must die?
19485And a person of the name of Basterga, I think?
19485And a student, doubtless in our Academia? 19485 And costly too, I doubt not?"
19485And discovered? 19485 And find me with you?"
19485And for me? 19485 And given to her mother?"
19485And had you been here----"Yes?
19485And his room? 19485 And is it for the State that you come to- day with that man?"
19485And lived poor, and died no richer?
19485And love?
19485And my mother? 19485 And no syllable of this will pass your lips?"
19485And of what, Messer Claude, are you so certain, if you please?
19485And she?
19485And that is all you have to say?
19485And that is all,Petitot said, his long nose drooping, his inquisitive eyes looking over his glasses,"that you know about him, Messer Blondel?"
19485And that is all?
19485And that is the answer I am to carry to the Grand Duke?
19485And that,the Syndic said with a shudder,"will be?"
19485And the child that I killed?
19485And the disease?
19485And there was with it-- a paper, I think?
19485And this a river?
19485And this?
19485And who is-- are we still getting the worst of it?
19485And why, my friend? 19485 And yet it will do so much?"
19485And yet, master, by these same things----"Men grow rich,Basterga continued with a sneer,"and get power?
19485And you discovered it?
19485And you do not understand-- with what?
19485And you followed him hither?
19485And you found?
19485And you looked for them?
19485And you will ask no questions?
19485And you,he said,"can repeat it?"
19485And you,she said,"you?
19485And you,to his followers,"did you hear me?
19485And you?
19485Answer me, girl, will you have him?
19485Are these your manners?
19485Are we going to stay on this tower?
19485Are we in Geneva, or in Venice? 19485 Are you a coward?"
19485Are you alone, girl?
19485Are you doing anything at all?
19485Are you of his company?
19485Are you prepared? 19485 Are you satisfied?"
19485Are you so short of memory? 19485 As to Basterga, do you mean, Messer Syndic?"
19485As to what else? 19485 As to-- what?"
19485Aurelia? 19485 Aurelia?"
19485Ay, but if we descend?
19485Ay, where else?
19485Ay?
19485Ay?
19485Ay?
19485Bacchus? 19485 Basterga?
19485Basterga? 19485 Baudichon, whom you have called a fat hog?
19485Besides-- you do not expect the town to be taken in an hour from now?
19485Better?
19485Blushing, I see?
19485Blushing, blushing, eh? 19485 Bring him to the scaffold?"
19485Burns?
19485But Agrippa,Grio persisted,"Cornelius Agrippa, who sojourned here in Geneva and of whom, master, you speak daily-- was he not a learned man?"
19485But I seem to-- is this water?
19485But I take it, you are something of a physician yourself?
19485But Master Claude? 19485 But a moment too soon or a moment too late-- and where will we be?"
19485But all is quiet?
19485But are you sure,she ventured to ask with respect,"that it will do these things, Messer Blondel?"
19485But how know you anything,he continued with disdain, as he dropped the hand again, and turned on his heel,"dolt, imbecile, rudiment that you are?
19485But if I cannot-- do it?
19485But if I cannot-- do it?
19485But if it be not so?
19485But if you assented to his wish,Basterga retorted, eyeing him keenly,"why did he depart after that fashion?"
19485But in the case of an extraordinary disease?
19485But is it not on a level with yours?
19485But now for the woman, over whom you said he had power?
19485But the_ remedium_? 19485 But this, at any rate, you''ll not deny,"Blondel retorted eagerly,"that he discovered the Philosopher''s Stone?"
19485But was it the truth?
19485But what can I do?
19485But what of that?
19485But what of the discontented you were to bring to a head?
19485But why not both? 19485 But you do n''t mean-- to leave it there?"
19485But you do this?
19485But you will fix it?
19485But you will speak-- sometime?
19485But,she said timidly,"will not Messer Basterga give it to you?
19485But-- the pains?
19485But----"But what? 19485 By evil arts?"
19485By your leave?
19485Can not you hear that his father lodged here?
19485Can not?
19485Changed? 19485 Claude?"
19485Conspirators?
19485Content?
19485Costly? 19485 Costly?"
19485Costly?
19485Could not? 19485 Credentials?
19485Curious?
19485Cæsar Basterga, is it?
19485Did I bribe him-- to give you those too?
19485Did I say extraordinary?
19485Did Tissot know when he came?
19485Did they get-- the box or the bottle?
19485Did you ask me then? 19485 Do men give life so easily?"
19485Do n''t you know, young man, that those who live in Geneva may not frequent Geneva taverns?
19485Do they think naught--leaning forward in a passion--"of the safety of the city?
19485Do you doubt its power?
19485Do you hear me? 19485 Do you hear me?
19485Do you hear me?
19485Do you hear what he says?
19485Do you hear?
19485Do you hear?
19485Do you know him?
19485Do you know if she has a vacant room?
19485Do you know that the_ remedium_ is unique? 19485 Do you know?"
19485Do you mean as to his convictions?
19485Do you mean,Claude exclaimed in astonishment,"that you are going for good?"
19485Do you mean,he muttered, lowering his voice,"by sorcery?"
19485Do you mean,she asked at last, her eyes fixed steadfastly on him,"that they are going to attack the town after midnight?"
19485Do you not lodge, my lad, in a house in the Corraterie? 19485 Do you think I ply this base mechanic art for aught but to profit by the ignorance of the vulgar?
19485Do you think they will denounce us at once?
19485Do you want the house marked and watched and every gossip''s tongue wagging about it? 19485 Do?
19485Do?
19485Done?
19485Eh, Messer Basterga, not quite? 19485 Eh?
19485Eh?
19485Eh?
19485Eh?
19485Enough to cure one person?
19485Feel?
19485For nothing?
19485For to what does the course which you are so eager to take amount? 19485 For what are you waiting, sir?"
19485For who would love dishonoured? 19485 From the Rhone side of the town----""From the Corraterie?
19485Futile?
19485Galle, quid insanis? 19485 Give it to me?
19485Going?
19485Got them?
19485Had there been a scrap even of writing----"Yes, yes?
19485Has he come back?
19485Has he left nothing?
19485Has some one been beating you?
19485Has taken it? 19485 Have I?"
19485Have you done anything?
19485Have you done anything?
19485Have you noted aught,he asked,"to bear out the idea that he is given to such practices?"
19485He admitted you? 19485 He did?"
19485He does, does he? 19485 He give it me?
19485He is beneath us?
19485He is within?
19485He is your uncle?
19485He knows you, then?
19485He obtained the substance?
19485He?
19485Her Tissot gone will she still work her wonders? 19485 Hercules, do I call him?
19485Here? 19485 Here?"
19485Here?
19485His Highness has discovered that?
19485Honour, say you? 19485 Honour?"
19485How can I go to her in this state? 19485 How comes it here?"
19485How dare they say it?
19485How dare they? 19485 How dare you come here?
19485How did he gain the right which he has handed on to others, the right to shame you, to lay hand on you, to treat you as he does? 19485 How do you account for that?"
19485How do you know that?
19485How far you purpose to try our patience? 19485 How far?
19485How know you that?
19485How shall we find her? 19485 How should I?
19485How should they not? 19485 How"--his tone was as gloomy as his face--"did they gain it?
19485How?
19485How?
19485How?
19485I am afraid--he looked at his neighbour on either side--"was I asleep?"
19485I am not myself, sir, able to overlook the house-- but, Anne, you will see to-- to this being done?
19485I must die because he_ may_ be ill? 19485 I said?"
19485I think I have heard the name of Averroes?
19485I told you? 19485 I was going to tell you, honoured sir, that I watched her----""Anne?
19485I would like to know what he expects? 19485 I?
19485I? 19485 I?"
19485I?
19485If Hebe had brought such liquor to Jupiter,he sneered,"do you think he had given her Hercules for a husband, as I shall presently give you Grio?
19485If he seize Basterga and miss the proof of his treason, what then?
19485If it be the philtre? 19485 If it be true, as I am told, that a young man of the name of Mercier lives here?
19485If they say so much already, if they say that to- day, what will they say to- morrow? 19485 In Geneva?
19485In a steel casket chained to the wall?
19485In broad daylight?
19485In doing what, if I may ask?
19485In doing?
19485In substance?
19485In that event?
19485In the box?
19485In the street?
19485In this house, I mean? 19485 In what?"
19485In what?
19485Inadmissible?
19485Indeed, Aurelia?
19485Indeed?
19485Indeed?
19485Is he not of Geneva, then?
19485Is it Hebrew?
19485Is it about that you have been fencing all this time? 19485 Is it not enough?"
19485Is it of him that you are afraid? 19485 Is it possible?"
19485Is it so? 19485 Is it the great pot you are looking at?"
19485Is it with revenge, then? 19485 Is it?"
19485Is not the person with whom you quarrelled at the inn one of them?
19485Is that all you have to tell me?
19485Is that all, Messer Fabri?
19485Is that so?
19485Is that what you mean? 19485 Is there?
19485Is there?
19485It contains, I suppose, many curious things?
19485It is something rare, I expect?
19485It is your affair, and-- where is my cap?
19485It was about that you saw him?
19485It was not empty?
19485It was this that Louis Gentilis was seeking?
19485Its use?
19485Leave the roof to them? 19485 Leave?"
19485Letters?
19485Live and be Syndic, both? 19485 Manuscripts?"
19485Matters?
19485May I say,he interposed timidly,"that until this happened, Messer Blondel, the young man''s conduct was all that could be desired?"
19485May we not win the gate from a score?
19485Messer Basterga?
19485Messer Basterga?
19485Messer Basterga?
19485Messer Blondel?
19485Mine?
19485Money?
19485Mother, what is it?
19485My doing, Messer Blondel?
19485Myself?
19485No more than five?
19485No, Basterga?
19485No, but----"But what?
19485No? 19485 No?
19485No? 19485 No?
19485No?
19485No?
19485No?
19485No?
19485No?
19485No?
19485No?
19485Nor learned anything?
19485Nor that he has a laboratory upstairs?
19485Not that, I hope?
19485Of Lausanne, I should judge?
19485Of her? 19485 Of her?"
19485Of what shape was it? 19485 Or Messer Baudichon?"
19485Or Messer Fabri?
19485Or a Tissot? 19485 Or he will employ other means?"
19485Pardon me,he said,"would you mind giving me the name of the young man who admitted me?"
19485Pastors?
19485Perhaps I am fatiguing your mother?
19485Perhaps you can tell me where I can get a night''s lodging?
19485Perhaps you know him also, Messer Blondel?
19485Power? 19485 Savoy?"
19485Shall you need my aid with him?
19485She has taken it?
19485She has taken it?
19485She is bedridden, is she not? 19485 She poured it into a glass, and----""She drank it?"
19485She? 19485 Shut up here, while this goes forward and we may be of use?"
19485So you have followed me here, have you?
19485Something has been discovered?
19485Something has happened?
19485Still-- if a vacancy should occur?
19485Thank God?
19485Thank you?
19485Thank you?
19485That he----"Has magical arts?
19485That is all you have to tell him?
19485That is all?
19485That is it, is it? 19485 That one?"
19485That you kept in the steel box?
19485That you might take his place, I suppose?
19485The Mère Royaume''s?
19485The Sieur de Beauvais?
19485The Syndic Blondel?
19485The Syndic Blondel?
19485The Syndic?
19485The bird is flown, but what of the nest?
19485The disease? 19485 The disease?"
19485The enemy?
19485The hour has barely struck, I believe?
19485The likelier prey? 19485 The longest night?
19485The old soldiers and rufflers whom the peace has left unemployed, and with whom the man Grio was to aid you? 19485 The phial?
19485The point is,Fabri answered,"what are we to do?"
19485The steel box which is chained to the wall?
19485The truth?
19485The_ remedium_?
19485Then he is not sure that the letters are there?
19485Then how did I gain it?
19485Then what does he expect?
19485Then why could he not make it again?
19485Then why mistrust me now, blockhead,the other retorted,"when I say that as I charmed her, I can charm Blondel?
19485Then with what?
19485Then,she retorted, eyeing him shrewdly,"if it is so easy to do why were you undone a minute ago?
19485Then-- what is it?
19485There is no one in the house with you?
19485There is nothing wrong, I hope?
19485There was something, surely?
19485They hold out?
19485They hold out?
19485Think you that Cæsar Basterga was born to perish by your hand? 19485 This illuminated manuscript, now, may interest you?
19485To save those who hounded you through the streets two days ago? 19485 To what purpose?"
19485To whom-- you gave?
19485To- day?
19485Upstairs?
19485Was I listening?
19485Was Rome built in a day? 19485 Was he not a physician?"
19485Was it one of you two who lowered the portcullis?
19485Water?
19485We might gain friends?
19485Well, is she? 19485 Well, what is it?"
19485Well----"Not quite, I think?
19485Well? 19485 Well?
19485Well?
19485Well?
19485Well?
19485Well?
19485Well?
19485Were they in my room?
19485Were you in my place, would you leave me?
19485Were you there?
19485What I know?
19485What Messer Basterga-- how he comes to have this?
19485What can you do?
19485What chance have I of being better? 19485 What did you learn last night?"
19485What do I know?
19485What do you mean?
19485What do you think they will do-- first?
19485What do you want with her?
19485What do you wish?
19485What else?
19485What has happened? 19485 What has happened?"
19485What has happened?
19485What if I was mad last night, and in my madness denied my Maker? 19485 What is changed?
19485What is it to me?
19485What is it; mother?
19485What is it? 19485 What is it?"
19485What is it?
19485What is it?
19485What is it?
19485What is it?
19485What is it?
19485What is it?
19485What is it?
19485What is it?
19485What is it?
19485What is that? 19485 What is that?"
19485What is the matter?
19485What is this, young man? 19485 What is this, young man?
19485What is this?
19485What is to be done? 19485 What is your business here, Messer Syndic, if it please you?"
19485What is your desire?
19485What is your secret?
19485What know you of him, pray?
19485What may we be?
19485What of him?
19485What say you, girl? 19485 What then?
19485What was it like?
19485What was it? 19485 What was it?"
19485What was its colour and size, and how full was it?
19485What would you have done last night?
19485What would you have me do?
19485What, this time, if I may be so bold?
19485What? 19485 What?
19485What?
19485What?
19485What?
19485When I ask only to remain and be quiet? 19485 When the information we have points to a night attack?"
19485When? 19485 Where are they?
19485Where are they?
19485Where are you going?
19485Where is Anne?
19485Where is the pot?
19485Whether I am a traitor?
19485Whether I am in league with this Italian, I, Philibert Blondel of Geneva? 19485 Which you granted?"
19485Who is now Syndic? 19485 Who the devil are you?
19485Who will know, or style you martyr?
19485Who would receive us?
19485Who would shelter us? 19485 Who?"
19485Whose order is that?
19485Why did he not make more?
19485Why did you look so startled a moment ago?
19485Why did you not say so at once?
19485Why did you not say so? 19485 Why do n''t you light?
19485Why do you fence with me? 19485 Why does he come here?
19485Why go to the trouble? 19485 Why have you not called upon me, young man, in accordance with the invitation I gave you?"
19485Why not Bacchus?
19485Why not both?
19485Why not, sir?
19485Why not? 19485 Why not?
19485Why not? 19485 Why not?"
19485Why not?
19485Why not?
19485Why not?
19485Why should I give the alarm?
19485Why should she take it? 19485 Why should you defy me or fear me?
19485Why the devil did you shut?
19485Why the devil do n''t you light?
19485Why was the door locked?
19485Why will you not tell me all?
19485Why, man? 19485 Why?
19485Why? 19485 Why?"
19485Why?
19485Why?
19485Why?
19485Why?
19485Why?
19485Why?
19485Why?
19485Will you never be satisfied until we are broken on the wheel? 19485 Will you now solve me one, reverend sir, with all submission?"
19485Will you ransom her again?
19485With M. d''Albigny at the bottom of both?
19485With money?
19485With power and rank, then? 19485 With those?"
19485With what? 19485 Without you?"
19485Would you, to save us, have betrayed Geneva?
19485Wrong? 19485 Yes,"she said hardily,"why not?"
19485Yet I did it? 19485 Yet having it three days,"Basterga asked with a sneer,"might he not buy all he wanted?"
19485Yet if there be a room at any time vacant?
19485Yet, chemistry-- you pursue that?
19485You are afraid of me?
19485You are determined to-- to do this? 19485 You are here?
19485You are newly come to Geneva?
19485You are not afraid to be left?
19485You are not going out?
19485You are not well?
19485You are satisfied, Messer Syndic? 19485 You are sure it was not the_ remedium_?"
19485You are sure?
19485You assent to that, Messer Baudichon?
19485You beard me?
19485You can pity, and you will?
19485You come to study, perhaps?
19485You dare?
19485You did n''t see it? 19485 You did not know that it was my voice?"
19485You did not know that that was said of him?
19485You did not see it?
19485You did not see me?
19485You did not see me?
19485You do n''t answer me, girl? 19485 You do n''t think to resolve him to- night?"
19485You do not love him?
19485You do not reply? 19485 You do?"
19485You drink not under compulsion, do n''t you, my lad? 19485 You drink not?
19485You drink not?
19485You found a phial? 19485 You had nothing to do-- with all this, I suppose?"
19485You have done nothing, but you are going to do something? 19485 You have it not?"
19485You have it not?
19485You have made no perquisition there?
19485You have not got them?
19485You have something to tell me, it seems?
19485You heard?
19485You knew of it, then? 19485 You knew the voice?"
19485You lodge there?
19485You mean it? 19485 You no longer desire to snatch from him the woman you love?
19485You refused to be silent, of course?
19485You suffer him to work his will? 19485 You think, then, that they suspect us?"
19485You thought it was broken?
19485You thought to thwart me, did you, Messer Claude? 19485 You told her then?"
19485You understand, I am sure?
19485You want to see my mother?
19485You watched her?
19485You were late then?
19485You will be silent?
19485You will be wise in time? 19485 You will go?
19485You will go?
19485You will go?
19485You will not arrest him?
19485You will not go on with this?
19485You will not let us see her?
19485You will not mention what I have said to you, Messer Basterga?
19485You wo n''t?
19485You-- you did n''t see it?
19485You-- you have not tried the----"The_ remedium_?
19485You?
19485You?
19485You?
19485Your aid? 19485 Your father, Monsieur Mercier,"with an obvious effort,"is well, I hope?"
19485Your mother is better?
19485Your questions?
19485A child?
19485A child?"
19485A fate that could not be evaded?
19485A moment his lips writhed, without sound; then,"Wrong?"
19485A mother?
19485A rustling as of black wings gathered about him, unseen shapes hovered closer and closer-- was it his fancy or did he hear them?
19485A scholar?
19485A stranger, I believe?"
19485A stratagem?
19485A traitor?
19485A whole day without fear?
19485About Ibn Jasher, and the Physician of Aleppo, and M. Laurens of Paris, and-- and the rest?"
19485Afraid of-- why, man, of what are you afraid?
19485After a moment,"Supper is not ready?"
19485Already in his mind''s eye he saw Basterga cast to the lions: and why not?
19485Am I Papist or Arian?
19485Am I speaking to Messer Philibert Blondel?"
19485Am I to understand that you decline?
19485An end-- or, no, was he losing his wits, his courage?
19485And Baudichon and Petitot?
19485And Blondel-- why had he left the bridge in that strange fashion?
19485And Grio''s?
19485And I fancied-- A price, eh?
19485And I was just asking you-- why not both?
19485And Louis''flight?
19485And Messer Blondel?
19485And Messer Grio here has served the State, so that some little indulgence----""What art muttering?"
19485And fondle it tenderly?
19485And having forced her to come within reach to serve him,"What do you say to it?"
19485And he?
19485And her mother?
19485And how could he comfort her?
19485And how he fell, and where?
19485And how was I to know?
19485And how-- with one dose in all the world!--keep up the farce?
19485And is not that half our battle?"
19485And less than that, what is it to Syndic Blondel, whose word to- day is all but law in Geneva?"
19485And puling like a child in arms?"
19485And she?
19485And so to enable some one to leave the town?
19485And speaks much when no one is present?
19485And that is the truth, is it?"
19485And that the worst to be feared was such an outbreak as had occurred that morning?
19485And the Syndic-- Blondel, was it you said?
19485And the girl?
19485And the meaning?"
19485And then in a lower tone but one partially audible,"Do you want to draw the eyes of all Geneva this way?"
19485And then more lightly,"If you doubt me, how am I here?"
19485And then,"You did not-- hear anything?"
19485And then----""He gave back, did he?"
19485And to whom they had hesitated to entrust the safety of the city?
19485And tries experiments with strange substances?"
19485And was he here to make inquiries about-- something he had heard?
19485And was it for nothing that you were startled when you found me upstairs?
19485And was it not at stake?
19485And we on guard?"
19485And were they gone to denounce her?
19485And what could he do?
19485And what had he or she to urge, what had they to put forward that would in the smallest degree avail them?
19485And what is that?"
19485And what matter?
19485And what must I do to bring that about?
19485And what you promised?"
19485And when Anne, to soothe her, had obeyed and let the great pot down until the fire licked its sides,"Is it full?"
19485And when Louis did not reply:--"You do not answer me?"
19485And when it awoke, how long dared he, how long would it be natural for him to ignore the first murmur, the succeeding outcry, the rising alarm?
19485And when she did not answer,"Bread, do you hear?"
19485And when we have won it, hold it?
19485And when you have died for them, who will thank you?"
19485And where have you been?"
19485And who made you his messenger?"
19485And who will be a ducat the better?"
19485And whom have we sparking it here?
19485And why this silence?
19485And why was he so enamoured of you that he could not be parted from you?"
19485And why, boy?"
19485And why?
19485And yet,"looking up at Anne,"the son of Messer Mercier?
19485And you are not afraid?"
19485And"Is it Basterga?"
19485Any course he could adopt?
19485Are you drunk?"
19485Are you moving?"
19485Are you?"
19485As I loved you even before I learned last night----""What?"
19485At any hour, or at midnight, or at a particular epoch of the moon''s age, or when this or that star was in the ascendant?
19485At last, with an effort,"What is it?"
19485At length, with an effort at composure,"Possibly your product-- is not, after all, the same as Ibn Jasher''s?"
19485At what hours would you suggest?"
19485Avoid her henceforth as he valued his soul?
19485Basterga''s?
19485Basterga?"
19485Baudichon?"
19485Because he knew certain things did he think himself privileged to play the fool?
19485Because you had the scholar''s ill, eh, Messer Blondel?
19485Because-- shall I tell you?"
19485Besides----""What?"
19485Better?
19485Blondel could have answered, but to what advantage?
19485Blondel retorted, the passion he had so far restrained gleaming in his eyes, and imparting a tremor to his voice,"are you Fourth Syndic or am I?"
19485Brawling and swearing and turning into a profligate''s tavern a place that should be for the sober entertainment of travellers?
19485But can not we----""What would you have us do more?"
19485But could there be such a thing in nature as this of which he spoke?
19485But desert her?
19485But for that reason, and because he was in the way of becoming a minister, was it not his duty to measure his strength with the Adversary?
19485But he had made it once?"
19485But how came Blondel in the plot?
19485But how long had he been waiting, Louis wondered; and how much had he seen?
19485But how"--with a startled look as she thought of the trap- door--"did you come?"
19485But how, then, did you know anything of a bottle?
19485But if he did hold it?
19485But if she knew all, could she be as calm as she was?
19485But if these will not, is there any man in Geneva, any man you can name, who would give his life for you?"
19485But is blood water?
19485But it had been heard,"Pastors?"
19485But let it be a lesson to you, do you hear?
19485But that reminds me,"he continued, speaking low and bending towards the other with a look of sympathy--"you are better, I hope?"
19485But the house?
19485But then he had not the girl''s leave to speak; could he speak without her leave?
19485But think you that I am the dupe of the art wherewith I dupe others?
19485But to what end if she would not have his aid, to what end if she would not suffer him?
19485But to what purpose if he were not going to act?
19485But what is it?"
19485But what is this?
19485But what says Seneca?
19485But what was that to him?
19485But what?
19485But what?
19485But what?"
19485But when had he heard her sing?
19485But yet again what did that matter-- after all?
19485But you are looking at that chart?"
19485But"Good?"
19485But----""Why did you not, then?"
19485By curing persons of that disease?"
19485By means of it he can enter where he pleases, he can enslave women to his will, he----""And you do not seize it?"
19485By the way,"he turned to Fabri,"he is at Mère Royaume''s, is he not?
19485Can not you believe me?"
19485Can not you see-- that you are killing me?"
19485Can you answer me that?"
19485Can you not suffer a little?"
19485Certainly she knelt, and it was on the table in front of her, and her forehead rested on her hands, and----""What then?
19485Come, Monsieur Basterga, is no use to be made of them?"
19485Coming to blows in the street?
19485Could it be that a whisper of what was passing in the house had reached the magistrates?
19485Could it be that after all she hoped to blind him?
19485Could it be, could it really be that the thing still existed?
19485Could she cut and lay and fetch with busy fingers, and all in silence?
19485Could she go about her daily tasks?
19485Could we be happy after?
19485Could you not search it?"
19485Curse him; why should he escape more than another?"
19485Did I understand,"he continued, addressing Claude directly,"that your father knew Messer Blondel?"
19485Did he evade the penalty of his act?
19485Did he"--with a sharp spasm of pain--"send you here to tell me this?"
19485Did she know?
19485Did she understand?
19485Did they know anything, and, if so, what did they know?
19485Did you not hear something-- like a scream upstairs?"
19485Did you think me a coward?"
19485Did you wait even for my presence?"
19485Did you wait for my permission?
19485Do n''t you know me?"
19485Do n''t you remember?
19485Do the men grumble much?"
19485Do the physicians give no hope?"
19485Do you doubt me?"
19485Do you forget that you are in my debt already?
19485Do you hear, girl?
19485Do you hear, my girl?
19485Do you hear, sirrah?"
19485Do you hear, you sneaking rogue?
19485Do you hear?
19485Do you hear?
19485Do you hear?
19485Do you hear?"
19485Do you hear?"
19485Do you hear?"
19485Do you know him, Messer Blondel?"
19485Do you know his room?"
19485Do you know,"he continued, stamping his foot,"that it is penal to draw in Geneva?"
19485Do you mark me?"
19485Do you mind me?
19485Do you remember these things, Messer Blondel, and do you ask if I keep it like a common philtre in a box in my lodgings?"
19485Do you scruple a little at beginning?"
19485Do you see the Syndic?
19485Do you think that I do not know you more than half craven?
19485Do you understand?"
19485Do you wonder-- I am dying!--that I want it?
19485Do you wonder-- I am dying!--that I will have it?
19485Does any stay for that where I am concerned?
19485Does no man besides Councillor Baudichon love his country?
19485Does she live in the house?"
19485Doubtless"--with a wave of the hand he indicated the girl who had that moment entered--"you have met before?"
19485Flee from her presence as from the presence of Antichrist?
19485For how are you going to move him?
19485For how many chances were there against such an accident?
19485For the rest, do you think that I do not know you now?
19485For this new youth and not for Grio?
19485For what purpose?
19485For you too, Messer Blondel,"he continued, with a piercing look,"will live and not die, I take it?"
19485For, if he were right?
19485From lead to gold, Messer Basterga?"
19485Give me the lee of a wall and fair odds----""Odds?"
19485Good Mr. Landlord, are these your professions?
19485Grio was prating of him, I suppose?"
19485Had Claude Mercier done it that the others might not enter to hear what he had heard and discover what he had discovered?
19485Had it come?
19485Had not the most unlikely persons confessed to practices the most dreadful?
19485Had the Syndic deceived him?
19485Had the young girl, still in her teens, caught the fancy of the man of sixty?
19485Had they betrayed her, then, while she lingered upstairs?
19485Had they gone too far at last?
19485Had they locked her in while they summoned the magistrate?
19485Had they overheard her mother''s terrible cry-- those words which voiced the woman''s despair on finding, as she fancied, the city betrayed?
19485Hard?
19485Has he no pistol?"
19485Hate her?
19485Have I the plague, or the falling sickness?
19485He does, does he?
19485He had persuaded himself-- he had been all the morning persuading himself-- that any man might pay a visit to a learned scholar-- why not?
19485He has not?"
19485He may be all you said he was, Messer Syndic, but----""But you no longer burn to break the spell?"
19485He passes for such, does he not?"
19485He?"
19485Her mother?
19485Here?"
19485His life?
19485Hold upon her?
19485How account for them save in one way?
19485How came it into your possession, Messer Basterga?"
19485How come you here?"
19485How comes he into it?
19485How could he explain them?
19485How could they go on their way and leave him to the mercies of this madman?
19485How dare you?
19485How dared she name the sacred name?
19485How defend his cowardice save on one ground?
19485How do you feel now, Master Jackanapes?"
19485How has it reached them so quickly, do you think?"
19485How long have you loved him?"
19485How often they were offered, and the terms?
19485How should they not?
19485How was he to make her understand?
19485How was it?
19485How?"
19485I am of no use here, it seems?"
19485I have looked at you a hundred times; have I overlooked you?
19485I suppose"--in a lower tone, and with a gleam of cunning in his eyes--"he does not really want-- the impossible?
19485I suppose,"with a grim look at Baudichon and the Inquisitor, who had exchanged meaning glances,"it is not alleged that I am in the plot with him?
19485I, a scholar?
19485If Claude did not read all this in her eyes, and in that one word"Content?"
19485If Madame Royaume would see me?"
19485If all be well elsewhere, and the main guards be held----""Ay, but are they?"
19485If for that fear there were foundation?
19485If he did hold it, and the cruel power it gave?
19485If he fell would they tell her?
19485If he had been sincere in that attempt on Basterga''s secrets, which Madame''s delirious words had frustrated, was he sincere now?
19485If he were not going to build on the ground so carefully prepared, to what end this wariness and this abstention?
19485If it be the philtre only that she has taken-- as you say?"
19485If she be well, why not?"
19485If the Syndic knows what is in the letters, why does he not seize them and Basterga with them-- the traitor with the proof of his treason?"
19485If this be so, what are you doing here?"
19485In Geneva?"
19485In that case, what should he do, what could he do, since it was most unlikely that he would be allowed to go with them or see them?
19485In the meantime I----""Yes?"
19485In the meantime was there any one to whom he could appeal?
19485In what am I worse than Tissot or Grio,"he continued,"or-- I forget the other''s name?
19485Instead,"Fool,"he said,"what do your tears help you or advance me?
19485Into the darkness, into the night, what mattered whither, when such fierce anger boiled within him?
19485Is an old soldier who has shed blood for Geneva to swallow that, and give God thanks?"
19485Is drink- money for your old age, when else you must starve or stab in the purlieus of Genoa, not worth one month''s sobriety?
19485Is he reprobate now?"
19485Is it not that which men call the Scholar''s?
19485Is it not that?
19485Is it of him,"in sudden enlightenment,"that you are afraid?"
19485Is it possible that we have in our friend a new Tissot?"
19485Is it possible?"
19485Is it so long since, against my will and prayers, you came into yonder house-- that you forget what I said and what I did?
19485Is it that?"
19485Is not he one?"
19485Is she one of the household?
19485Is that what you were seeking?
19485Is the little farm in Piedmont not worth a month''s abstinence?
19485Is the suspicion, the open suspicion of such an one, no insult, that he must cavil if he be repaid in insult?
19485Is there no way of making you hear reason?"
19485Is there not a Spaniard of the name of Grio lodging there?"
19485Is-- the thing put off?"
19485It is in characters which are probably strange to you?"
19485It is not by wishing and willing----""How know you that?"
19485It is not so, I hope?"
19485It is that,"she continued, a strange wild light in her eyes,"that you think they will do to me?"
19485It sounds-- circumstantial?"
19485It was only that he would not drink and I----""Made him?"
19485It was too late to show himself, and if she discovered him what would she think of him?
19485Leave them to raise the old iron grate, and let in-- what I hear yonder?"
19485Life and power, my friend?"
19485Life?
19485Like our Tissot?
19485Love?
19485May I take it?"
19485Mechanically, to gain time, he repeated the name:"Basterga?"
19485Messer Syndic, will you be thwarted in this fashion?
19485Near the Porte Tertasse?"
19485No one took on himself to answer the question he had put, and in a voice thin and querulous, but with a lurking venom in its tone,"What is this?"
19485Of what avail that weak existence?
19485Of what moment was it-- after all?
19485Of what use to any, the feeble flickering light upstairs, that must go out were it left for a moment untended?
19485Oh, what will become of me?
19485On guard, and----""_ What is this?_"The voice stayed Grio''s tongue and checked his foot in the very instant of assault.
19485On the wall?
19485On this side?"
19485One whom a rude word might almost extinguish, and a rough push thrust out of life?
19485Only yesterday morning I was with him----""Ay?"
19485Or Baudichon, who could not sleep of nights for fear-- how would he act with death staring him in the face?
19485Or Louis Gentilis?"
19485Or ask my leave, or crave my will, sir?
19485Or because your physician_ said_ you had it-- to whom I paid a good price-- for the advice?"
19485Or can Geneva be destroyed in a day?"
19485Or could there be truth, any truth, any fact in the medley?
19485Or had some one deceived the Syndic?
19485Or how could it be too late, if Basterga had not returned?
19485Or if she were not mad was he mad?
19485Or is the more inclined to trust his life with us when he sees us brawlers, toss- pots, common swillers?
19485Or is your Beza a better man than Messer Francis of Sales?
19485Or it may be a scheme to draw me from here, and then if harm be done while I am away----""Harm?
19485Or sell it to you?"
19485Or that he has confided to me the Grand Duke''s plans?"
19485Or was there something behind, some secret upon which his words had unwittingly touched?
19485Or went there, one with him, to betray my country?
19485Or what desire to escape it?
19485Or what room to think it an accident, when he spoke clearly with the_ animus pugnandi_?
19485Or why happens it to- night?
19485Or would the heavens fall if Geneva embraced the faith of the good Archbishop of Milan?
19485Or would they hold her strange to him?
19485Or, if it were of avail, why, for its sake, waste this other and more precious life that still could not redeem it?
19485Or, that once I have my foot on firm ground I will stoop again to the things of matter and sense?
19485Or-- he?"
19485Others?
19485Perhaps Claude would make some excuse to the others; or, perhaps-- how much had he guessed?
19485Perhaps she had been called to her mother?
19485Petitot?
19485Pluck even the memory of her from his mind?
19485Presently:--"Are you listening for Louis?"
19485Probably you will wait on him?"
19485Pure, or diluted with wine, or with water, or with_ aqua vitæ_?
19485Put up?"
19485Right?
19485Right?"
19485Save them?"
19485Save them?"
19485Savoy?
19485Sell it to me?
19485She can not hear us?"
19485She knew as much as that, did she?
19485She to hurt a child?
19485She to hurt a child?
19485Should he admit that he had been to Basterga''s lodging; or dared he deny a fact that might imply an intimacy greater than he had acknowledged?
19485Should he tell Louis more than he had told him already?
19485Should he tell her?
19485So far, that in despair she had made up her mind to resist?
19485So it is for him you thrill, and lie awake, and dream of kisses, is it?
19485So plausible that even her lover had for a short time held it true?
19485Some words, some figures?"
19485Something, I suppose, you dare not, Louis?"
19485Still of base Grios and the weak alloys red bridegrooms make?
19485Surely you do not believe them, Messer Blondel?"
19485Syndic,"he continued in a tone of mockery,"where is your warrant now?
19485Syndic?
19485That I can be twice deceived?
19485That I would harm a child?
19485That all the wealth of kings can not produce it, nor the Spanish Indies furnish it?
19485That in the world''s history it scarce appears once in five hundred years?
19485That is so, is it not?"
19485That it is a man''s life?
19485That it was still to be obtained, that life by its means was still possible?
19485That where all have fled, he remains, and that neither fear of death nor word of man can keep him from her side?
19485That you refuse to perform the task which the State assigns to you?
19485That, and that you are content it shall be so?"
19485That-- that is what you ask?"
19485The Grand Duke?
19485The city slept round him; how long would it sleep?
19485The fact that he believed it went far with her; why, for the rest, doubt a story so extraordinary that it seemed to bear the stamp of truth?
19485The girl?"
19485The light that would have gone out this long time back had she not fostered it and cherished it and sheltered it in her bosom?
19485The man might have done so, but he did not stir; and"Stop him?"
19485The mother, you mean?"
19485The two gazed at one another a moment: then,"Does Madame Royaume live here?"
19485The young man who went out?"
19485The''Bible and Hand,''eh?
19485Then all you told me was a lie?
19485Then how come you here?"
19485Then ignoring Mercier, but looking blandly at the young man who sat facing him at the table,"What is this of Tissot?"
19485Then she turned to him,"Do you understand?"
19485Then turning after a moment''s silence to the girl,"What says our Quintessential Stone to this?"
19485Then why that smile?
19485Then, after a moment''s pause,"Will you ring the bell?"
19485Then, turning to Louis, in a voice cold and free from emotion,"Are you going?"
19485Then,"Have you taken the stuff?"
19485Then,"What do you know?"
19485There is no moon now, is there?"
19485There was nothing-- no bottle in the box?
19485Think you the blood mounts and ebbs for nothing?
19485To live he must turn traitor?
19485To lodge here?"
19485To save those who to- morrow may put you to the torture and burn you like the vilest of creatures?
19485To sell the Free City?
19485To support a rope?
19485To the fire?"
19485To- night of all nights in the year?"
19485Too late?
19485Twice take gold for dross, and my own for another thing?
19485Under the skirts of the scarlet woman, or where the magistrates bear not the sword in vain?
19485Uninvited?
19485Wait and see her innocence outraged, her tenderness racked, her gentle body given up to unspeakable torments?
19485Was John Bernardino of Assisi, whom some call St. Francis, a worse man than Arnold of Brescia, the Reformer?
19485Was a trick in preparation?
19485Was anything of moment to him except the one thing which Basterga had it in his power to grant or to withhold, to give or to deny?
19485Was he really face to face with that?
19485Was he to believe her delivered, soul and body, to the power of Satan?
19485Was it a fiction, all a fiction?
19485Was it a marvel that the cheeks had lost their colour, the eyes their light, the whole face its life and meaning?
19485Was it a trick, he wondered?
19485Was it possible that nothing would happen?
19485Was it possible that the girl through long brooding exaggerated the peril?
19485Was it possible, ah, was it possible that she had done anything to give him power?
19485Was it to be taken all at once, or in doses?
19485Was not his life as dear to him as their wives and children were to them?
19485Was she dreaming or had her brain given way?
19485Was the big man a poltroon whom the bold front shown to Grio brought to heel?
19485Was this-- this the man whom they had secretly accused of lukewarmness?
19485Well?
19485Well?"
19485Well?"
19485Were they about to make him pay his footing?
19485What are we the better?
19485What are we to do about him?"
19485What are you doing here?
19485What are you plotting together?"
19485What are you plotting together?"
19485What black games are you playing, I''d like to know?
19485What could any cast up against her, what adduce in proof of a charge so dark, so improbable, so abnormal?
19485What could he do?
19485What could he do?
19485What did it matter to a dying man-- a man whom heaven, impassive, abandoned to the evil powers-- who came or who went?
19485What did it matter to him how the man treated women?
19485What did it matter to him, a dying man, who had the better or who the worse, who posed, or who believed in the pose?
19485What did she do with it?
19485What did the imbecile mean?
19485What did the man mean?
19485What did the nails there?
19485What did this creature know?
19485What do you mean?
19485What do you say, Messer Baudichon?"
19485What do you say, Messer Blondel?
19485What else?"
19485What evil can not be softened, what misfortune can not be lightened to a woman by the knowledge that she is loved by the man she loves?
19485What had happened?
19485What had it not cost her-- that burden?
19485What harm?"
19485What has happened-- in the last minute?"
19485What has happened?
19485What has happened?"
19485What have I done that I may not lie in Geneva, may not lie in your house?
19485What have I done to you, what have I done to any one,"she continued, with noble resentment,"that you should spread this of me?
19485What have I done?"
19485What if harm come of it?"
19485What if he had deceived himself?
19485What if it were not the_ remedium_, what if it were some trifle?
19485What if light fell on the true state of things-- and less than the girl had said might cast that light?
19485What if the ruffian threw him into the river?
19485What is gained?"
19485What is it he has done?"
19485What is it that gives him this power over you?"
19485What is it that is between you and him?
19485What is it, if it please you?"
19485What is it, man?"
19485What is it?
19485What is it?
19485What is it?
19485What is it?"
19485What is it?"
19485What is that?"
19485What is the thing between you and him?"
19485What is this?
19485What kind of power?"
19485What lot more cursed than to quit the pure ether of Latinity for the lower region of matter?
19485What more?"
19485What of him?
19485What of him?"
19485What of it?"
19485What shall I say to you on my part, Messer Claude?"
19485What then is the secret between you and him?"
19485What then?
19485What then?
19485What then?
19485What was Grio doing?
19485What was he to do?
19485What was he to do?
19485What was he to say to her?
19485What was his hold over her?
19485What was his part, what his object?
19485What was his power?
19485What was it to him?
19485What was it?"
19485What was she going to do?
19485What was the appearance of this flask or bottle, or what it was-- that you left there?"
19485What were they doing?
19485What will become of me?
19485What will it be?
19485What will they say when they have heard her ravings?
19485What, you must leave us?
19485What?
19485What?"
19485What?"
19485When she hears that I am the son of M. Gaston Mercier, who often speaks of her----""He fell sick here, I think?"
19485When, man?
19485Where are the chains?
19485Where are they, child?"
19485Where are they?"
19485Where are we?
19485Where is he?"
19485Where is my cap?"
19485Where is the wench?"
19485Which is it?"
19485Which was it?"
19485Who are you to judge where treason lies, or may lie?
19485Who denies it?"
19485Who does not know the heartache with which it is seen that the mind of a loved one is wandering from us?
19485Who has changed it?"
19485Who has told you this cock- and- bull story?"
19485Who is she?
19485Who would love in shame?
19485Who?"
19485Whose were that foot and that voice?
19485Why bear himself as if he and he alone had shed and was prepared to shed his blood for the State?
19485Why did I go to that house to lodge?"
19485Why did she comply?
19485Why did the man assume such airs?
19485Why did you not say so at once?"
19485Why do you ask?"
19485Why does he follow me?"
19485Why had he wasted time?
19485Why had they locked her in?
19485Why have you not given the alarm in the town?"
19485Why may I not save you and her?"
19485Why not employ her in place of the lad?
19485Why not?"
19485Why not?"
19485Why obey, endure, suffer at this man''s hands that which it was a shame a woman should suffer at any man''s?
19485Why remain, when to remain was to sacrifice two lives in lieu of one, to give and get nothing, to die for a prejudice?
19485Why should he die?
19485Why should he move?
19485Why should she not leave her mother to her fate?
19485Why talk as if he and he alone cared for Geneva?
19485Why, indeed?
19485Why, then, cause talk and scandal by keeping these persons-- whoever they were-- outside, when the thing might be had without talk?
19485Why, when they had done so, had they thrust the key under the door and so placed it in her power?
19485Why, when you have, or to- night will have, an empty room?
19485Why, when you lodged Tissot, will you not lodge me?
19485Why?
19485Why?
19485Why?"
19485Why?"
19485Will it not be, the old and the young, the witch and her brood-- to the fire?
19485Will that satisfy you, Messer Petitot?"
19485Will the Grand Duke make him Governor of Geneva?
19485Will you come if I risk it?"
19485Will you have him?"
19485Will you prevent us?"
19485Will you to my room and view the precipitation of which I told you?"
19485With a smile, in a tone of pleasantry?
19485With what?
19485With whom?"
19485Would Petitot give his life to save yours?"
19485Would he notice it?
19485Would he weep when he found the ribbon as she wept now?
19485Would she believe that in spying upon her he had some evil purpose, some low motive, such as Louis might have had?
19485Would she never hear?
19485Would the officers of the Syndic enter and seize the two helpless women and drag them to the guard- house?
19485Yes, I hit you there?
19485Yet do you think she likes it when you paw her hand or lay your dirty arm about her waist, or steal a kiss?
19485Yet the spark of kindliness which she had kindled still lived-- how could it be otherwise in presence of her youth and gentleness?
19485Yet, after all, why should they not go up and see her mother?
19485You are not alone in the house, I think?"
19485You dare to thank Him, who last night denied Him?
19485You did not see the phial?"
19485You flush at the prospect, do you?
19485You found a phial?"
19485You grant that?"
19485You had not thought of that?
19485You handled it, I suppose?
19485You have eaten and drunk at my hand a hundred times; have I poisoned or injured you?
19485You have lain down under this roof by night a hundred times; have I harmed you sleeping or waking, full moon or no moon?"
19485You have the town already?
19485You mean that?"
19485You remember the Sibylline books?
19485You remember?
19485You think it is natural Blondel should favour such as you?"
19485You think me over- anxious?
19485You thought yourself clever enough to play with Cæsar Basterga, did you?
19485You took him to my house?"
19485You took it out of the metal box?"
19485You understand that, do you?"
19485You understand, do you?
19485You understand?"
19485You will be sure to get it?"
19485You will bring it as you find it?"
19485You will go and live?"
19485You will go?
19485You will go?"
19485You will stand by and see her perish body and soul in this web of iniquity?
19485You will, will you not?
19485You withstand me, do you?
19485You would cross Cæsar Basterga, would you?
19485You would fain play Providence,"he continued--"that is it, is it?
19485You would play Providence?
19485Your name, young man, and your dwelling place?"
19485_ Stultus es?_ Do you hear?
19485_ Stultus es?_ Do you hear?
19485as Claude, with a face of horror, would have waved him away,"that touches you, does it?
19485blind worm that you are, can you not see that you are killing me?
19485he cried,"Why not?
19485he cried,"are you mad?
19485he muttered fiercely,"do you hear, girl?
19485he muttered hoarsely,"There was more then?"
19485he said doubtfully,"but had you not better-- take some wine, Anne?"
19485he said,"it is you, is it?
19485never!--who could face, who could endure, who could lie down and rise up under this burden?
19485that is your opinion, is it, Monsieur Basterga?"
19485the landlord protested, hovering at his shoulder,"these are strangers----""Strangers?
19485this time, but she caught her breath; and after a moment''s pause,"Still-- you did not recognise it?"
19485was it in mean men to harm him?
19485why had he not thought of it before?
19485you would say?"
