33996I see,I said;"you simply tried to bluff him by behaving like an ordinary simple- minded honest clergyman?"
33996I wonder if it''s conceivable that you''d ever look upon me as anything but a calculating machine?

33996Mr Alexander Burnett?
33996Mr Drummond?
33996Mr Topham?
33996Not even for Germany?
33996Now he is an acquaintance of yours?
33996Now,she said,"do you mind waiting in the smoking- room for ten minutes or so?"
33996Of what?
33996Or is it a family custom?
33996Really-- you do n''t say so? 33996 Really?
33996Really?
33996Shall we move along there for a little?
33996So it was to get rid of me, and have you alone here with him?
33996So you treated me like an infant, Mr Tiel?
33996So?
33996Still, so long as that is the system, why not try your luck? 33996 Surely you got my letter?"
33996Suspicion? 33996 Taylor?

33996The British cruiser which was mined early in the war?

33996Then I shall not know till to- morrow night whether to count on you-- and then I shall very probably lose you?
33996Then I understand I am betrayed?
33996Then did you ever really think of me as a human being-- as a-- as a--he hesitated painfully--"as a friend?"
33996Then if it is not, why are we pretending so religiously that we have no business here but to drink tea, Miss Burnett?
33996Then that is your real name?
33996Then that is your_ rôle_?
33996Then what is right for Germany is wrong for her enemies?
33996Then where----?
33996Then who sent them, I''d like to know?
33996Then whose hands is it in?
33996Then why did Tiel give up trying to persuade me so readily? 33996 Then you are really going to leave us to- night?"
33996Then you have been sent by Mrs Craigie to make inquiries about Miss Holland?
33996Then, Miss Holland, every time you did me the honour to appear kind and visit me you were carrying out one of this gentleman''s plans? 33996 Then-- then you never were Tiel?"
33996There was nae secret, was there?
33996To ensure your escape?
33996To keep it from the rain maybe?
33996Was she?
33996We are not idiots, and why should we pretend to be?
33996Well,I said,"suppose we know when they are going out, they will take the usual precautions, I presume?"
33996Well,asked Eileen,"what did you tell Mr Craigie?"
33996Were you long in Germany?
33996What can I do for you?
33996What did he say to that?
33996What do you mean?
33996What do you mean?

33996What do you mean?
33996What do you think of him?
33996What do you think yourself?
33996What for did you have to mend it in here?
33996What happened then?
33996What has happened?
33996What in Heaven''s name did it mean?
33996What is a woman''s part in such a plan usually?
33996What is extraordinary about it?
33996What is the suggestion?
33996What is your part of the country?
33996What must you think of us?
33996What road are you taking?
33996What will you be doing?
33996What words?
33996What''s that?
33996What''s the matter?
33996What''s the matter?
33996What''s the matter?
33996What''s the matter?
33996What''s this-- an elopement? 33996 Where is he to be seen?"
33996Which light?
33996Which man?
33996Which safe?
33996Who are you going to decoy?
33996Who did you speak to last night?
33996Who forced you to use a woman? 33996 Who was he?"
33996Why did he come?
33996Why do n''t you enter the British War Office, then?
33996Why should I have tried to get out of it?
33996Why should I think you are making a fool of yourself?
33996Why''s Miss Holland like our hall clock?
33996Why?
33996Will you come and sit there with me?
33996Wilson?
33996Would you have felt quite happy if I had told you I had omitted to do the one thing I had professed to come here for?
33996You and Miss Holland living by yourselves in this house-- is it that you need apologise for?
33996You are afraid some one may come and look in at this window?
33996You are quite sure of this?
33996You are sure? 33996 You are_ quite_ sure this is all right?
33996You do n''t mean the great Schumann?
33996You expected a visit from a Mr Burnett yesterday, I believe?
33996You feel sure of that?
33996You feel sure?
33996You got a pretended traitor? 33996 You have heard of half- brothers, have n''t you?"
33996You have no beer?
33996You have thought of everything you can possibly need?
33996You mean some one had tried to murder him?
33996You mean that she has been honest and they dishonest?
33996You mean you wish me_ not_ to rejoin my ship to- morrow night?
33996You mean----?
33996You never at any time came across her captain? 33996 You quite understand what I said?"
33996You remember the affair of the_ Haileybury_?
33996You taught her her trade then, I presume?
33996You told him when I was leaving, and all about it, I suppose?
33996You will really run that risk?
33996You would even become some British Admiral''s mistress?
33996You''ll be a relation of the minister''s too, perhaps?
33996You''ll have some tea before you start, I hope?
33996You''ve spoken to him?
33996You-- you then told her to-- to make me admire her?
33996A tall, square- shouldered fellow, in dark plain clothes, who walks with a short step and a stiff back-- what does that suggest?
33996A traitor?"
33996All at once she leaned towards me and said in a low beseeching voice--"You will come back, wo n''t you?"
33996And I wonder, too, where he was going?"
33996And every word you spoke was said to entangle me in your net, or to keep me quiet while something was being done behind my back?
33996And how long does he imagine the British are going to let you stay in this house of yours unsuspected?
33996And now where the devil was it?
33996And then again, why had Eileen consented to such a wild plan?
33996And who the devil has given you such orders?"
33996And yet as a man and a loyal subject how could he possibly decline to assist in an effort to foil the King''s enemies?
33996Are you_ essential_?"''
33996Besides, why deceive me in any case?
33996But are you sure all this is safe?
33996But from Tiel''s point of view, what was critical about this moment?
33996But how can I?
33996But if so, what could I do?
33996But marriage?
33996But were there not consolations?"
33996But what about my petrol?
33996But what is all this about staying on shore?
33996But what was to be done in the meantime?
33996But where am I to take it?"
33996But where was my road?
33996But why did n''t you tell me all this before?"
33996But-- er-- what am I to say to Mrs Drummond about your visit?"
33996Can you not wait till I pack my things too?
33996Coming straight on top of my discovery of his reckless conduct of Eileen''s affair, what was I to think of him?
33996Could you not have deceived me alone?"
33996Do n''t you think so?"
33996Do n''t you, Mr Belke?"
33996Do you drink whisky- and- soda?"
33996Do you know what I''d do with that Kaiser if I caught him?"
33996Do you mean----""What else could one do with him?"
33996Even at night how many ears would be listening for my"phut- phut- phut,"and how many eyes would be scanning the dark roads?
33996Had I been picked for this errand because I was a coward or a resourceless fool?
33996Had she noticed nothing of that?
33996Has he special information?"
33996Has she not told you the joke of how she left me in the lurch?"
33996Have you forced the safe?"
33996He broke off and asked,"Do you happen to have heard of Schumann?"
33996He glanced at me for a moment in an odd way, and then said merely--"Well, are you going to have another cigar, or would you like to go to bed?"
33996His eyes suddenly began to twinkle again, and he asked abruptly--"Why''s the Kaiser like my boots?"
33996His manner suddenly changed and he asked abruptly,"Are you in a desperate hurry to get in?
33996How am I to get back to my boat?"
33996How can Germany both be right-- as she is, and yet be wrong?"
33996How can I trust him now?"
33996How could he have known so much of Craigie''s character?
33996How should a German agent be a British officer?
33996How were we to get you back again here after you had delivered your message to your submarine?"
33996I exclaimed;"why on earth should you think that?"
33996I fell very silent, and then suddenly, when we were nearly back, I exclaimed--"I wonder whether you are really glad that I returned?"
33996I had cleaned the thing, oiled it, seen that everything was in order; what in heaven''s name could be the matter?
33996I have a chance of escaping now unobserved; shall I have such a chance later in the day?"
33996I have just been thinking it over, and the question struck me-- why are they making this arrangement so far ahead?"
33996I know a John Taylor----""Who comes from Lancashire and keeps a motor- car?"
33996I pricked up my ears, but all I said was--"Why is that?"
33996I wonder if such a talk ever before had such a charming background?
33996Ignition, carburettor, what had been damaged?
33996Indeed, why should he think so?
33996Is it good- bye, or shall I see you in the morning?"
33996It will be hard to do, but I have no doubt as to the result; have you?"
33996Logic had brought me beautifully so far, but now came the rub-- Where was I to hide?
33996Mr Burnett was on his way to the Windy Islands, I believe?"
33996My good woman, d''ye think I''m blind?
33996Now that''s a funny kettle of fish, is n''t it?"
33996Of course I admit they sometimes have enough excuse, but-- what do you think?"
33996Only between you and me, Mr----?"
33996Or was I an honest and peaceable gentleman?
33996Should I take Tiel with me to see Wiedermann?
33996Surely the beautiful liveried figure in the car would require his tea and eggs like his master?
33996Surely you are not going to risk a longer stay?"
33996The chauffeur half- turned round and said in a low voice--"Did you see that light, sir?"
33996The oats is looking very well; do you not think so?"
33996Then I heard the voice of Tiel say--"Well?"
33996Then Miss Holland suddenly asked--"Do you live near the sea?"
33996Then he inquired--"Do you know a Mr Taylor?"
33996Then who did?"
33996Then you hate the English with a double hatred?"
33996There could not possibly be any use in going further; why then did they continue to advance?
33996Till the day broke all I had to do was to sit still, but after that-- what?
33996Was I sure we should have at least four submarines?
33996Was I the suspicious person he fancied at first?
33996We can trust you to do that for England, surely?"
33996We do n''t want to be far away, do we?"
33996Well now, what''s the good in making inquiries about a thing that''s happened and finished and come to an end?
33996What about half a dozen submarines?"
33996What are you going to do next?"
33996What can be done?
33996What did you do with yourself?"
33996What else are you needed for?
33996What is the good in planning ahead, with the house watched night and day?"
33996What is your own part in it?
33996What was to be made of these very disquieting events?
33996What would you like?"
33996What''s your theory?"
33996Where are you going?"
33996Who is he?"
33996Why did n''t he try to use more authority?"
33996Why keep me alive?"
33996Why were you brought into the islands?
33996Why?"
33996Yet an adventuress, a paid agent of the Secret Service, marrying a von Belke-- is it quite conceivable?
33996You do n''t mind my telling her to call me Dick, do you?
33996You would have to wait till Burnett had left Edinburgh, would n''t you?"
33996and get pardoned?"
33996exclaimed Mr Taylor,"what''s up?"
33996he asked me; and would they be brought well in and take the risk?
33996he is really her brother, is he?"
