16538Just before dinner, Miss Freer, who was sitting between the writing- table and fireplace, suddenly called out,''What is Spooks running after?''

16538Robinson?''
16538Soon after Miss Langton came into the drawing- room, and I said,''Well, you_ have_ been busy; I suppose Miss Freer has been dictating to you?''

40823Again, and again, sceptics, with would- be smartness, have said to me,"Where do ghosts get their clothes?
40823Ande here"into"illusionary?
40823But what about the apparition?
40823Can I do anything for you?"
40823Can it be that it is, after all, the little learning that makes the man the fool?
40823Can it be that these dreams are reminiscences of a former existence, of scenes with which I was once familiar?
40823Could it have been a case of suggestion?"
40823Dare I remain down there and wait for the phenomena?
40823Did you see it?"
40823I wonder if the sensations you experienced were in any way due to her?''"
40823Is such a thing possible?"
40823My curiosity, however, was far greater than my fear, and I kept asking myself what the Thing was, and why it was there?
40823Now, was this a case of unconscious projection, or merely of suggestion?
40823Or have they been vividly portrayed to me by an Elemental?
40823Shall I tell you what I can see in this room?''
40823The question now arises-- to what cause could the vision be attributed?
40823There are surely no tailoring establishments in the psychic world?"

45362Pretty well, thank ye,says he,"but pray, how do you know my name?"
45362What''s that?
45362Wo n''t ye? 45362 ''What ails thee, sepulchre? 45362 --Charles, what would thou do with me?'' 45362 A voice was then heard in the gloom asking in a strange intonation,What is wanted?"
45362An amusing anecdote illustrative of this belief was related by the daughter of''the celebrated Mrs. S.''[ Siddons?]
45362And I replied,''Why?''
45362And I said,''Father, shall I pray for you?''

45362are ye sleeping, Margaret?''
45362he says,''Or are ye waking presentlie?
45362what is that?"
45362who comes here?''
61158Accompanied by a glockenspiel?
61158All this time I was being so big- hearted, did I also say I was going to have to sell the house for non- payment of taxes?
61158And who are_ you_, and what are_ you_ doing here?
61158As a matter of curiosity,Jerry addressed his rival,"what makes you so sure Heather is going to marry you?"
61158Gertrude?
61158How much?
61158I says,''Where do you live?'' 61158 If you ca n''t help yourself, I do n''t see how you''re going to be much help to me, but what''ve I got to lose?"
61158If you do n''t believe it, why do n''t you come serenadin''with us, you and Miss Heather?
61158Is that what it is?
61158Just to satisfy my curiosity,Jerry pleaded,"where does the plaid skirt come in?"
61158Oh no?
61158See?
61158The MacGreggor tartan? 61158 The pictures-- where are they now?"
61158Were you laughing at me?
61158What about Lovers Leaps?
61158What about the glockenspiel?
61158What did you say her name was?
61158What''s that?
61158Why ca n''t I get it now?
61158You? 61158 _ Thief!_""Thief?"
61158A disembodied voice said,"Now about that Scotch?
61158A zero on the end?"
61158And what would the Board of Directors think of a bank president''s wife who wrote claptrap about werewolves and spare- rib glockenspiels?"
61158And where do you keep the scissors?"
61158Are we to hand down to our children a community without pride of ancestry?
61158Are we--?"
61158But first--"he reached into a cupboard and produced Jerry''s safety razor--"do you mind if I borrow this?
61158Could n''t you let me pay for the skirt?"
61158Do I look like a criminal?"
61158For sale?"
61158Four canvases?
61158Got a smoke, matey?"
61158He asks what will you take within reason?
61158Her handclasp carried a hint of finality that went beyond words, and Jerry said,"_ Been?_""Wesley gets back tomorrow."
61158In addition, there was a sound that made Jerry''s curly hair crawl-- the baying of a wolf?
61158Me?
61158Meanwhile, what collector has n''t heard of J. Masterson- Junior, whose canvases are lauded for their"other world"quality?
61158Now take Junior....""Junior?"
61158One thousand?_ Jerry was sure of only one thing.
61158Remorseless?
61158Rye?"
61158Wesley demanded,"Heather,"said Jerry,"will you marry me?"
61158Why not throw himself into the sea?
61158Why pick on me?"
61158Why?"
61158You remember how she scooted through the studio this afternoon with a werewolf after her?"
61158Your betrothed?"
14099''Did you never hear of him?'' 14099 ''What man?''
14099So long as we leave the doors unclosed they do n''t harm us: why should we be afraid of them?
14099We laughed at this and asked:''Who will be appointed to the dispensary?''
14099What exactly does it mean?
14099What was about to happen? 14099 What was it?"
14099What?
14099Where?
14099''Is that a boat turned over?''
14099''Why?''
14099----?''
14099A few days later Miss B. said to E. C.:"I hear such strange noises every night-- are there any people in the adjoining part of the building?"
14099All I could do was to speak; I cried out,"Who are you?
14099And if so, what meaning would he put upon the word"spirits"?
14099B. been down at our house that afternoon, and I casually asked her:"''Who was the man who was just behind me when I met you on Dick''s Brae?''
14099B., why have you come?"
14099Can we contemptuously fling aside such a weight of evidence as unworthy of even a cursory examination?
14099Coming back she met the boy pale and trembling, and on asking him why he left the room, he replied,"Who is that woman-- who is that woman?"
14099Did he never hear of such- and- such a haunted house, or place?"
14099For myself I can not guarantee the genuineness of a single incident in this book-- how could I, as none of them are my own personal experience?
14099He does not therefore condemn these offhand; he is content to suspend judgment, is he not?
14099However, we are not concerned with explanations( for who, as yet, can explain the supernatural?
14099I called out in amazement,''What has happened to the chair?''
14099I said,''Who are you?''
14099I started up, and said,''Is there anything wrong?''
14099I to sleep in the tapestry chamber?
14099Naturally I said,''What accident, Mary?''
14099Once again he appeared, and seemed to say to me,''Why did you do that, E----?
14099She left the bedroom, and called to her daughter, who was in a lower room,"What do you want?"
14099The question is, Why do they occur at all?
14099The servants asked,"Corney, why did you not speak?"
14099The two boys were moved to the haunted room[ which one?
14099We asked, thinking that the answer was absurd, as we knew him to be alive and well:"''Are you dead?''
14099We said:"''Who are you?''
14099What do you want?"
14099Where was I to get them from?
14099Why can not he adopt the same attitude with respect to psychic phenomena?
14099was he suffering from delusions?
28699''Doth this doctrine teach you to know God, or to be skilful in the heavens?'' 28699 A dreamer?"
28699And what, pray, was the message?
28699Can the truthfulness of the narrative,one skeptical inquirer wrote Mr. Roff,"be substantiated outside of yourself and those immediately interested?
28699Do you mean this, aunty?
28699Do you remember,Dr. Stevens asked her one day,"the time that you cut your arm?"
28699How long did you live after taking it?
28699How long was it after you took it before you told her?
28699In what? 28699 Mean it, Daniel?
28699Suppose you give me a tangible proof of your presence?
28699Tell us his surname?
28699What flowers?
28699What sign do you bring?
28699What think you, Fanny?
28699What, my dear, are they all dead?
28699Who has sent them?
28699Why have you entered this maiden''s body?
28699You heard it, then?
28699***** But what shall those of us who are not Swedenborgians think of the master?
28699A ghost?
28699A solitary figure?
28699And another asked him,"Is it a fact, or is it a story made up to see how cunning a tale one can tell?"
28699Can it be shown that there was no collusion between the parties?"
28699God is with you, and who shall be against you?
28699In the medium?"
28699Is the"spirit"present in both places at the same time-- in the shadowy apparition, and in the living, breathing, busily- occupied human entity?
28699Keeping these facts before us, what do we find?
28699Ma, why did you not show me my letters and things before?"
28699No doubt they would like to inspect the church, perhaps to visit the school; it might even be they were desirous of meeting the pastor?
28699She glared wildly around, and in an agitated tone demanded,"Where am I?
28699The critic in question writes:"what evidence has the author that an apparition of the living is not a spirit?
28699VIII THE MYSTERIOUS MR. HOME"So you''ve brought the devil to my house, have you?"
28699We--"He stopped short at sight of the changed expression on the other''s face, and breesquely demanded,"How now, man?
28699What are you gaping at?"
28699What, it is necessary to ask, did the Wesleys actually hear and see in the course of the two months that they had their ghost with them?
28699Who might be this evil disposed person?
28699Who, in truth, save Urbain Grandier?
28699Who, then, was the agent?
28699Why may not the spirit of the living person have left his body and appeared to his friend?
28699With a smile of delight Lurancy picked up the hat, mentioned an incident connected with it, and asked,"Have you my box of letters also?"
28699Would he, then, make the quest, and would he permit Myers to pursue it by his side?
31341And did you not speak to it?
31341And what answer, Mr. Justice, I pray you-- what answer did it make you?
31341Are you quite sure of it?
31341Are you sure it was an ass, Jervais?
31341Do not you remember Mr.----, whose ghost has been so much talked of? 31341 My lord,"said they,"what can human force effect against people of t''other world?
31341Who are you? 31341 Will Mary this charge on her courage allow?"
31341''Do not you remember, child,''said she,''that the pigeon- house fell the very afternoon that our careless wench spilt the salt upon the table?''
31341''Tis true, thus far I''ve come with heedless haste; No reck''ning kept, no passing objects trac''d: And can I then have reach''d that very tree?
31341''_ How came you there?_''said they.
31341''_ Nay, how the devil know I?_''answered the mad- woman.
31341After dinner, the merchant, taking him into his counting- room, said,"You do not recollect me?"
31341Another question was, Whether some of the then company had not a relation that had been buried in the same vault where she lay?
31341But pray, Sir, how went this affair?
31341Had the story stopped here, what would not superstition have made of it?
31341He suddenly stopped, and demanded who she was?
31341I then leaped upon the forecastle, and asked of the people who were walking there, if such a figure had passed them?
31341Is it a trick, or do I dream?"
31341Is it for the credit of this philosophical age, that so bungling an imposture should deceive seven clergymen into a public act of exorcism?
31341One of their Honours, this night, spoke; and, in the name of God, asked what it was?
31341Or is its rev''rend form assum''d by thee?"
31341The tallest of these young gentlemen then asked him, in a hoarse tone of voice, what was his heaviest sin?
31341There it happened that a couple of young females, coming to the vault, heard a noise below, crying,''_ Who the plague are ye?
31341They asked, severally, if it was their relation?
31341Upon this, one of the company asked, whether it would return again, and at what time?
31341Upon which they called out, and asked,''_ Who''s there?
31341What are ye?_''''_ The Devil_,''replied the traveller below.
31341What d''ye make that noise for?
31341What is there in a church more than in any other building?
31341When he had somewhat recovered his recollection, he ejaculated,"In the name of God, do tell me who you are?
31341When knocking hard at the door, the maid- servant asked who was there?
31341When shall I pass the vacant hours, Rejoicing in my woodbine bowers; To smoke my pipe, and sing my song; Regardless how they pass along?
31341When take my fill of pastime there, In sweet forgetfulness of care?"
31341Wherefore moan, and wherefore sigh?
31341Who is she, the poor maniac, whose wildly fix''d eyes Seem a heart overcharg''d to express?
31341and what they wanted?
31341and why it disturbed them so?
31341fathers, who was he, so gay, That stood beside the chapel door?
31341the hollow- sounding gale Seems to sweep in murmurs by, Sinking slowly down the vale; Wherefore, gentle lady, sigh?
31341what in darkness more than light, which in themselves should have power to raise such ideas as I have now experienced?
31341what is it?''
12621''I will do so,''said Glam;''but is there any trouble at your place?'' 12621 ''What is that?''
12621''What work are you best fitted for?'' 12621 ''Will you look after_ my_ sheep?''
12621And what do the people do?
12621Anybody see anything?
12621Bad moral character?
12621But she could surely have got him to keep them outside, however doggy he was?
12621Did a lady pass part of Sunday night in the church?
12621Did they shine in the dark? 12621 Did you act on it?"
12621Did you ever read Dr. Gregory''s Letters on Animal Magnetism?
12621Did you know Manning, the Pakeha Maori, the fellow who wrote Old New Zealand?
12621Have the natives the custom of walking through fire?
12621Have you then forgotten our promise to each other, pledged in early life? 12621 How did you enjoy yourselves?"
12621How on earth did you know?
12621In what country?
12621No, what about him?
12621Tell me,I said,"Lord Tyrone, why and wherefore are you here at this time of the night?"
12621The cove that invented Gregory''s Mixture?
12621The duchess said,''What earl?'' 12621 Then have they any spiritualistic games, like the Burmans and Maories?
12621Think of your breakfast- table,he said;"is your mental picture of it as clearly illuminated and as complete as your actual view of the scene?"
12621Well, what happened next?
12621What about?
12621What on earth are you talking about? 12621 ''I am little able to give that,''said Skafti;''but what is the matter?''
12621''But what was it?''
12621''Curious is n''t it?
12621( who is it?
12621), adding in English,"Hullo, what the devil do you want here?"
12621After I had finished seeing him, we went into the drawing- room, where the duchess was, and the duke said,''Oh, Cooper, how is the earl?''
12621And I said,"In the name of God, what do you demand of me now?"
12621And I spoke to it saying,"In the name of God and Jesus Christ, what are you that troubles me?"
12621But you say Bolter did n''t see the dogs?"
12621He answered:''Do you think I am come to amuse you, you--- idiot?''
12621Hysterical Disease?
12621I asked again,"What is the reason you trouble me?"
12621I asked,"Was there any more guilty of that action but you?"
12621I said,"How shall I get these bones?"
12621I was so surprised that I called out,''Who''s here?''"
12621In that time she heard the bridge clock strike two, and a while after said,''In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, what art thou?''
12621In the course of dinner he asked a propos de bottes:--"Have you heard of the ghost in Blake Street?"
12621Is there a nervous malady of which the symptoms are domestic arson, and amateur leger- de- main?
12621It had not yet come in; and Sir Tristram asked:''Why are you so particularly eager about letters to- day?''
12621Lilly Wynyard said that the person pointed out was a Mr. Eyre( Hay?
12621Little wonder though I am thoughtful--_ Always at the time when I go to bed The stones and the clods will arise-- How could a saint get sleep there_?
12621Lord Nugent--"What made you think your husband''s ribs were broken?"
12621Mr. Barter, knowing that there was no place they could go to but his own house, cried"Quon hai?"
12621Mrs. Claughton said:"Am I dreaming, or is it true?"
12621Mrs. Claughton went back to her room, where her eldest child asked:--"''Who is the lady in white?''
12621On the night on which he last made his presence felt, he went on the roof of the house and cried,"Are you asleep, Donald Ban?"
12621One can only answer:"How do you define a ghost?"
12621Probably the Rontgen rays are implicated therein, eh?''"
12621Questions were asked of the agencies, and to the interrogation,"Are you a devil?"
12621She became annoyed, and sitting up called out,"Marie, what are you about?"
12621The author has frequently been asked, both publicly and privately:"Do you believe in ghosts?"
12621The next evidence is ten years after date, the statements taken down by Jack Wesley in 1726( 1720?).
12621The words, however, were hardly out of her mouth when the bocan answered her with,"Did n''t you get enough of him before, you grey tether?"
12621Then Mr. Towse said''in ye Name of God, what art thou then?''
12621Then who_ did_ tell?
12621When I narrated the story which follows to an eminent moral philosopher, he remarked, at a given point,"Oh, the ghost_ spoke_, did she?"
12621While passing, Sir J. Sherbrooke exclaimed,''God bless my soul, who''s that?''
12621Who could disobey a ghost?
12621Why, we may ask, were the old ghost stories so different from the new?
12621Would anybody say:"There are no seismic disturbances near Blunderstone House, for I passed a night there, and none occurred"?
12621{ 158b} How did Inverawe get leave to wear the Highland dress?
12621{ 69b} Hence arises the old question,"How are we to account for the clothes of ghosts?"
36595And now,she added,"would n''t you like me to put a curse on that woman?
36595But how could they get in?
36595But there is a dog,said Mrs. Hudson impatiently;"ca n''t you see it standing there looking at us?"
36595How do you know that?
36595I do n''t see one; where do you see it?
36595I inquired then,''What did she say to you when this was over?'' 36595 On one occasion he asked her,''Well, Molly, have you seen a funeral lately?''
36595What didst thou hear? 36595 What dog?"
36595What was he like?
36595''What was that?''
36595And what about this man, if he had not happened to find him lying there?
36595Art thou frightened?"
36595Borrow said:"They( corpse- candles) foreshadow deaths, do n''t they?"
36595But that evening John went to the house of''Liza the Witch, and, knocking at the door, cried,"How be''st thou,''Liza?"
36595But where was the hare?
36595CHAPTER IV OTHER GHOSTS"What beckoning ghost along the moonlight shade, Invites my steps, and points to yonder glade?"
36595CONCLUSION CHAPTER I INTRODUCTORY"Strange, is it not?
36595Could it have been possible, I wonder, that the fruitless séance was answerable for the creature''s appearance?
36595For surely the room, so short a time deserted, is nevertheless peopled-- and by what?
36595For what general conclusion can be satisfactory, regarding all these instances of the supernatural?
36595How did he get here?"
36595How was he who had acted escort to reach his own home across the bridge alone?
36595Is n''t that lucky?"
36595Mrs. Jones said she was, as I know, not superstitious, but was it not odd?
36595Much of the old silver was taken out of its wrappings and displayed, and at length Seaton said,"But where are those queer candlesticks?
36595My last inquiry was,''Did you give her anything?''
36595Now the great question was, whose burial could it be?
36595Now was this merely a wonderful coincidence?
36595Seaton said to the butler:"You are certain you have not had these candlesticks out lately?"
36595Such a"superstition"is possibly supposed to be extinct; yet this phenomenon has been witnessed by a friend of mine( need I say of Celtic race?)
36595The ostler looked puzzled and said:"Yes, sir; but what man do you mean?"
36595The other replied,"Hast thou got the cattle?"
36595The question-- and a puzzling one-- is, why should these things occur at all?
36595Then the point was, who was going to die?
36595They were going along as fast as they could, when the woman asked the man,"Dost thou see a light, Tom?"
36595Was it a spirit or the Toili?"
36595When Captain Seaton heard the story he looked very grave and asked,"At which door in the corridor did the lady stop?"
36595Wherein lies the decided element of creepiness contained in my next story?
36595Whimpers and yelps of disappointment from the hounds proclaimed that their prey had escaped, but the question was, how?
36595Why have n''t I heard about her before?"
36595asked the princess,"have you anointed your eyes with the ointment?"
36512_ Mrs. Veal had been, subject to fits, and she asks if Mrs. Bargrave does not think she ismightily impaired by her fits?"
36512And I would also take the liberty to suggest that he should ask the ghost these questions:--"Who''s your tailor?"
36512And also, if a_ goose_ would be frightened if it saw a ghost?
36512And further-- If the Government were applied to, would they"lend the loan"of a proper and fitting building to exhibit the various works in?
36512And out of whose"atmosphere,"or"life sphere"had the spirit made this hand?
36512And then if the ghost of a chimney- sweep were to appear-- and why not the spirit of a sweep as well as anybody else?
36512And then was this spirit_ dressed_ in his best?
36512Are, or can these things be_ spiritual_?
36512Can the believers in ghosts tell us that?
36512Can this be a law or regulation amongst the ghosts?
36512For instance, when Marcellus says to Horatio,"Is it not like the king?"
36512Had they to return to purgatory by themselves-- had the heavy white walking- stick to walk off without its owner?
36512If not, where did they go to?
36512If the cloth is made out of stuff"_ permeated by our wills_"-- And further, if these ghosts are honest, and pay their tailors''bills?
36512Mr. Owen here asks if the mastiff was cataleptic also?
36512Now it will be as well here to inquire what good has ever resulted from this belief in what is commonly understood to be a ghost?
36512Now one naturally asks here, why did not this old ghost go and point the place out to his son himself?
36512One day at dinner he stood up, and said to those present,"Do n''t you see I''m going?"
36512Query, If a horse is not frightened at a ghost, why should dogs be frightened at the sight of them?
36512Query, What did the ghost come for, and was the second husband at all jealous of his coming?
36512Query: How did Mr. H. know that this hand_ was so cold_?
36512Suppose it was a_ spirit hand_, the hand of a soul that once did live on earth, could it be the_ spirit_ of a_ glove_?
36512Then comes my_ clothes test_ again, where did the_ hand_ get the_ glove_?
36512There now, there''s a secret for you-- what do you think of that?
36512Well, some people will say that some little_ comfort_ was needed after so much_ dis_comfort and suffering-- but_ why_, all this suffering?
36512Yes, why should a_ dog_, especially if he is a_ spirited_ dog, do so?
36512[ 6] I should like to ask a question here-- Is Home by spirits lifted, or by"atmosphere?"
36512and had it put the glove on because it felt itself so cold?
36512and how is it that the same spirit can appear in_ several places_ at_ the same instant_?
36512and if CLOTHED, of what those CLOTHES WERE MADE?
36512and what A PAIR OF TOP- BOOTS are made of?
36512and whether these materials are_ spiritualized_ by any process, or whether THE CLOTHES WE WEAR ON OUR BODIES BECOME A PART AND PARCEL OF OUR SOULS?
36512and"Who''s your hatter?"
36512and, further, whether the mutilation of the_ body_ can in any way affect the_ spirit_--the_ soul_?
36512in turning their lights in the direction from which the sounds came, and advancing carefully, they discovered-- what do you think?
36512oh dear!-- Are made in any kind of mould, Or how they trick''em out of our"life sphere?"
59872And it would be a splendid place to----"To what?
59872Are you better, now?
59872Are you going to measure it to see if there''s room for the mysterious stranger to hide in?
59872But where''s your box?
59872But why has father never mentioned him?
59872Can you make yourselves happy till the beginning of September?
59872Did he look up?
59872Did mother say you might have it?
59872Did n''t I tell you we all promised not to go out?
59872Do n''t you know us, uncle?
59872Do n''t you remember we all three promised we would not go out of the house? 59872 Do you really think it would do the boy good to be tormented by a lot of rough, strong children?
59872Do you want anything before I go, darling?
59872How can I tell?
59872How did you see all this in the dark?
59872How ever did you get up here, darling?
59872How long is it since this room was used?
59872How should I know? 59872 I say, Rupert, is it any good fagging away with that oar to keep her in the middle of the stream?
59872Is there danger there?
59872It seems a pity that father should buy me such things, does n''t it, mother?
59872Mischief again?
59872Now, auntie, where''s our den?
59872Now, what have you to say for yourselves?
59872Now, what shall we do this afternoon?
59872Oh, Edric, what shall we do? 59872 So it''s going to be your den as well as theirs, is it, young man?
59872That''s my own fault, is n''t it, Edric? 59872 The oak chest?"
59872We know each other already, do n''t we, dear? 59872 What do you think of that, Uncle John?"
59872What happened next?
59872What has he been doing all these years?
59872What have you been up to?
59872What have you got that for?
59872What of them?
59872What shall I bring you from Colchester?
59872What''s that?
59872What''s the joke now?
59872Whatever made him think of that place?
59872When are they coming?
59872Where''s the foot rule?
59872Who are they, father?
59872Who in the world are you?
59872Why are you waiting?
59872Why had he locked the door?
59872Why should n''t he go, too?
59872Why, John, how can you make savages into bears? 59872 Will Edric come, too?"
59872You''ll love me still, mother, wo n''t you,I whispered, clinging to her neck;"and you wo n''t let them make me do anything I do n''t want to?"
59872And is there anything else you want, to rig up their den?"
59872And, pray, what do you think we shall feel like when we come into this room and see your empty sofa?"
59872Are you better now?
59872But what about Kathleen?
59872But what do you think I found out?
59872Ca n''t you really walk, Edric?"
59872Could he talk English, Harold?
59872Do n''t you think we might as well let her run aground?"
59872Do you know he hardly ever goes out except in the long perambulator, which is pushed as gently as possible?"
59872Do you mind coming to see him, mum?"
59872Do you think I might go with you, just to see it before they come?"
59872Edric trying to walk?
59872Halloa, Kathleen, what do you want?"
59872Halloa, what are you about, Rupert?
59872Halloa, what''s that?
59872Have you looked in the oak chest for him?"
59872He must be somewhere inside?
59872How are you, old man?
59872How came you to think of trying that?
59872How can it be our duty to turn our house into a bear- garden for the sake of a lot of young savages?
59872How do you like the idea of the invasion of the savages, my boy?"
59872I am glad I came, mother: does n''t the water look lovely?"
59872I wonder whether---- Do you know both our servants left last year because they said the place was haunted?
59872I wonder-- oh, Edric, do you remember the footmarks in the mud?"
59872Is he very cross?"
59872Is n''t it lovely to think that we are going to be here six whole weeks?
59872It was n''t likely we should do that, was it?
59872Let me see, I said"rush off,"did I not?
59872Nonsense; how could a ladder be there without our seeing it?"
59872Now where shall I put this flag?"
59872Now, are n''t you glad to see us, uncle?"
59872Oh, did I hurt you?
59872Or shall you go into the garden to look for him?"
59872Perhaps he is asleep in bed; have you looked?"
59872Rupert had suddenly sprung at Jack, and seizing him by the arm almost screamed out--"Spring, did you say?
59872Rupert saw him coming, and cried out,''I say, Mr. Wilson, is father after you, too?''
59872Shall I ever forget those few minutes?
59872Shall I send a telegram to Bath to say the youngsters can come?
59872Shall we be like the monks who hid in the old water mill, and fish for our dinner?
59872This is our castle, but what is a castle without fortifications?
59872Was he very furious?"
59872We ca n''t let her go before us?"
59872What did you say about those steps?
59872What do you say to my ghost being the one who rescued him?
59872What do you say, captain?
59872What do you think of it, Edric?"
59872What do you want?
59872What is he like?
59872What is the time, Rupert?"
59872What on earth is that?"
59872What will uncle and aunt say?
59872What''s the good of lovely windows like those, with old ivy climbing outside?
59872What''s the matter?
59872What''s the matter?"
59872Whose doing is that?"
59872Why did n''t you shout, captain?"
59872Why did you leave the tower when I told you not to do so?"
59872Your new man gave me a sandwich and something out of a little bottle, and I----""My new man?"
59872how could you?"
59872is there another river up there?
59872what are you going to do?"
59872who in the world is that?
59872you, Joe?"
34263, in such agitated tones, that Sir Jonah at once cried out:What''s the matter?"
34263And he did n''t say where he had gone?
34263And no one tried to save them?
34263And the noise Bridget referred to,Miss S---- ventured to remark, somewhat timidly,"was that the Banshee?"
34263And they were sure it was my father?
34263Are you Mr Robert Dunloe?
34263Are you sure it is n''t Mary, and they are not killing her?
34263Are you sure?
34263Are you sure?
34263But did n''t he get my note?
34263But who''s going to die here? 34263 Did that fellow Dick look at you?
34263Did you hear that tremendous knock?
34263Do you hear that screaming and clapping? 34263 Do you know her people, or anything about them?"
34263Done what?
34263How can I tell? 34263 Hullo,"Wilfred exclaimed,"who''s that?"
34263Hulloa, Donald, is that you?
34263I said:''When did you see it?
34263I say, old fellow, why do n''t you congratulate me?
34263Kindly explain what you mean?
34263Oh, sir, are you one of the revellers?
34263One of the revellers?
34263She went?
34263The Señors have been in a battle, yes?
34263To- morrow, that is a tremendous way off, and is n''t it to- morrow that that fellow O''Flanagan is coming?
34263Were they both drowned then?
34263What are you doing?
34263What are you up to? 34263 What on earth do you mean?"
34263What was she like?
34263What was she like?
34263What''s wrong with that tree?
34263What''s wrong with the tree?
34263Whatever is happening?
34263Where is cook?
34263Where''s she gone?
34263Which is the nearest town?
34263Who are you, and what the---- do you want here?
34263Who is that?
34263You do n''t mean to say there really was a knock? 34263 And yet, why had Dick gone off in such a hurry? 34263 Are you alive?
34263At that instant there was a noise outside, and, thinking it was O''Hara, he called out,"Hulloa, Bob, is that you?"
34263Besides, how should I know him?"
34263But how came you with a letter for me?
34263But what are all these bricks for, and this mortar?"
34263But what on earth does she think she''s doing?
34263Can you?"
34263Did he dare to look at you?
34263Do you do all the work of this house?
34263Do you think she will come again?"
34263Had he got on a bit too rapidly?
34263Have you ever met anyone who has seen one?
34263Have you suddenly gone mad?"
34263How the deuce do you account for it?"
34263Is there no one else here to help you?"
34263May I ask why?"
34263Miss Bunworth, who, during this strange recital, was growing more and more bewildered, now exclaimed impatiently:"What_ is_ it you mean?
34263Miss Georgina exclaimed,"whatever''s the matter, Bridget?"
34263Ralph exclaimed,"and did n''t he leave any message?"
34263The gentleman looks shocked, but is there anything so very dreadful in killing a pig?
34263The good Banshee in a family is always supposed to make it, but why did n''t I hear her?
34263The lady who requested me to give it you mentioned the fact that a relative of hers had been taken very ill.""When and where did you see her?"
34263Was anyone with him at the time?"
34263Was she old or young, dark or fair?"
34263What do you mean?"
34263What had this starry- eyed creature done to offend him?
34263What in the world is it?"
34263What is it?
34263What on earth are you staring at it for in that ridiculous fashion?
34263What then caused those sounds?
34263What was he to do?
34263What, he wondered, did they portend?
34263Whatever can it mean?"
34263Who can she be, and what was she like?"
34263Whoever is she?"
34263Why do you look like that?"
34263Why should it only be you?
34263You have n''t seen a ghost, have you?"
34263exclaimed, on the verge of fainting,"what can be the meaning of it?
34263my wife whispered, catching hold of me by the arm,"and what is it?"
34263she asked,"and why are n''t you asleep?"
46647''But how did you get the money?'' 46647 ''But you are not going away with my money, are you?''
46647''Can you give it back to me?'' 46647 ''So it is money you want?''
46647''What do you mean bythis horrible place"?
46647''Will you stay where you are until I can get some?'' 46647 But why?"
46647But, do you know? 46647 Can such things be?"
46647Did I hear_ what_?
46647Do those lines mean anything?
46647Do you mean to tell me,he demanded, looking at me incredulously and with alarm still in his face,"that you did not hear that awful groan?"
46647Do_ you_ know what has become of those tomatoes?
46647Have you been playing me a trick?
46647I said:''Who are you, and what do you want?'' 46647 In heaven''s name,"I cried,"what is it?"
46647Is this insanity?
46647Oh, no, dear,I said;"these are probably some other pansies; how can you tell they came from your bed?"
46647So you did not give them to him, after all?
46647Something very bad has happened-- do you want to tell me what it is?
46647Tell me, has anyone passed through here into my room?
46647Then what he said was true, that his mother comes back to trouble him?
46647They call it''palmistry,''do n''t they? 46647 What is it, sir?"
46647What is it?
46647What is it?
46647What on earth is the matter with those dogs?
46647What were the clothes like?
46647Where did you find it?
46647Why do you come to me?
46647Why, no,her friend replied;"how could anyone?
46647Why,she exclaimed,"how did these come here?
46647''Do you need it now?''
46647''Is n''t that enough?''
46647( naming the Liberal clergyman and writer whom most of us had known in Boston, and who had died some five or six years before)"Why, is that you?
46647--"And from where?"
46647--I echoed her words:--"How do you know it is Deeming''s mother?"
46647And how had it been extracted from the locked box inside the locked dressing table?
46647And then, the dogs:--do you think_ they_ were dreaming, too?"
46647Are you sure you were not dreaming?"
46647But what happened then?"
46647But why had he wished to sell it, and what help could he hope to gain thereby?
46647Ca n''t you see that we want to talk?"
46647Ca n''t_ you_ see her?"
46647Do you remember that rhinestone brooch in the shape of a butterfly you bought for me one evening in Paris, four years ago?"
46647Do you see_ that_?"
46647Here is my question:--What is your opinion of Deeming?"
46647How can I give these coins to you?''
46647I commented upon this circumstance to my hostess, who replied:--"Yes, it is very early for them, is it not?
46647I cried;''are you Deeming?''
46647I exclaimed, interrupting the recital for the first time:"was_ that_ what he said?"
46647I exclaimed:--"It was Deeming?--and he asked you to buy_ soap_?"
46647I exclaimed;"what about the dogs?"
46647I exclaimed;"what are those dogs doing here?
46647I have always believed the stories of haunted houses were bally nonsense; but in heaven''s name what does all this mean?"
46647I say-- what kind of a house_ is_ this?
46647Is that what has disturbed you to- night?"
46647Is there no significance, is there no consolation, not only to myself but to others who have been bereaved, in this episode?
46647It said:''Madame, do you want to buy some_ soap_?''"
46647It was not on the pin cushion last night; how in the world did it come here?"
46647Oh, Minnie, Minnie, what are you doing?"
46647Tell me, John Weiss, what it all means?
46647The garments from the wardrobe of the hangman; was the murderer doomed to go through all Eternity in this hideous attire?
46647The money was returned again, but had it meanwhile been entered in some misty ledger to the credit of its temporary bearer?
46647The offered sale of soap; is the occupation of"drummer"or"bagman"practiced beyond the Styx, and for what ghostly manufacturers are orders solicited?
46647Was it for the toilette or the laundry?
46647Was the soap a sample?
46647What are you doing here, and what does this mean?
46647What could he mean by offering to sell me soap?"
46647What do you mean?"
46647What does she bother me so for?
46647What was its price per cake, and was there any discount by the box?
46647Why ca n''t she leave me alone?"
46647Why do n''t the band play?"
46647Why have you done so?''
46647Why should you distress me as you do?''
46647You ca n''t see her?
46647exclaimed Mrs. Candler,"what in the world is the matter?
46647he cried;"did you hear_ that_?"
46647stammered my companion:--"did you hear it_ then_?"
46647we inquired;"an apparition?"
12674''"We can not find your book,"I said;"where have you concealed it?"
12674''Am_ I_ going to die, grandmamma?''
12674''If your spirits are spirits, why do they let the world wag on in its old way, why do they confine themselves to trivial effects?''
12674''Is she going to die?''
12674''Is there no one present,''the learned judge asked in general,''who can give better testimony?''
12674''Soon?''
12674''What friend?''
12674''Where are the soules that swarmed in time past?
12674''Who knows?''
12674''Why do you weep, grandmamma, are you not happy where you are?''
12674And whither has it led us?
12674And why not toleration for''immoral''actions?
12674Are the sounds in Haunted Houses real or hallucinatory?
12674Being asked why she had always withdrawn before, she said she had seen''like a boyn( halo?)
12674But this evidence is in itself a fact to be considered--''Why do these gentlemen tell this tale?''
12674But we still ask:''_ Do_ objects move untouched?
12674But who ever swore that he_ saw_ witches so transported?
12674But why is it always the same old story?
12674But why not, as we know nothing about our relations with the invisible world?
12674But, when they expect nothing, and are disappointed by having to witness prodigies, the same old prodigies, what is the explanation?
12674By what sign can we be sure that the manifesting agency present is that of a god, an angel, an archon, or a soul?
12674Can''high scientific attainments''leave their possessor with such humble powers of observation?
12674Do impostors and credulous persons deliberately''get up''the subject in rare old books?
12674Do the expenses of exorcism fall on landlord or tenant?
12674Does Mr. Sully believe that the portrait was an original portrait of a real person?
12674Finally, the author has often been asked:''But what do you believe yourself?''
12674First, why abuse the judge at Tours?
12674From the hour of my marriage till this day, what have I wrought against thee that I need conceal?''
12674Have all other Mediums secret wires?
12674Have you ever had any hallucination?
12674He asks, among other things: How can gods, as in the evocations of gods, be made subject to necessity, and_ compelled_ to manifest themselves?
12674He would ask:''Does M. Littre accept the alleged facts; if so, how does he explain them?''
12674How did his Zulu learn the method of Home, of the Egyptian diviners, of St. Joseph of Cupertino?
12674How do''expectancy''and the''dominant idea''explain this experience, which Mr. Aide has published in the Nineteenth Century?
12674How does a demon differ from a hero, or from a mere soul of a dead man?
12674How is the identity of the spirit to be established?
12674How is the inquirer, how was Porphyry to know that the assertion is correct, that it is not the mere''boasting''of some vulgar spirit?
12674I have been at a loss ever since what to make of this last,''says Patrick Walker, and who is not at a loss?
12674In either case, what causes the hallucination, or are there various possible sorts of causes?
12674In what sorts of periods, in what conditions of general thought and belief, are the alleged abnormal phenomena most current?
12674Is it a disease of observation?
12674Is it not the business of the owner of the house to''whustle on his ain parten,''to have his own bogie exorcised?
12674Is there a method of imposture handed down by one generation of bad little girls to another?
12674Is there such a thing as persistent identity of hallucination among the sane?
12674It is suggested that Graime himself was the murderer, else, how did he know so much about it?
12674Now, could a hallucination lift a mosquito- curtain, or even produce the impression that it did so, while the curtain was really unmoved?
12674Now, had the peay tradition reached Cock Lane, or was the peay- man counterfeiting, very cleverly, some real phenomenon?
12674Now, if the committee do not provide themselves with a good''sensitive''comrade, what can they expect, but what they get, that is, nothing?
12674On the night of Lindsay''s death, Pitcairn dreamed that he was in Edinburgh, where Lindsay met him and said,''Archie, perhaps ye heard I''m dead?''
12674On the other hand, if Reginald Scot asked today,''Who heareth the noises, who seeth the visions?''
12674On this turned the fate of Joan of Arc: Were her voices and visions of God or of Satan?
12674Or are demons in some way evolved out of something abstracted from living bodies?
12674Or are there certain mystic correspondences in the nature of things, which may be detected?
12674Or, if we disbelieve this cloud of witnesses, if they voluntarily fabled, we ask, why do they all fable in exactly the same fashion?
12674Saint or sorcerer?
12674So far, everybody is agreed: the differences begin when we ask what causes hallucinations, and what different classes of hallucinations exist?
12674That is simple, but why are sane, scientific, modern observers, and even disgusted modern sceptics, in a tale, and that just the old savage tale?
12674The neighbours make the noises, and again the narrator asks''how?''
12674The question was, did an indicator move, or not, under a certain amount of pressure?
12674The spiritus percutiens,''rapping spirit''(?)
12674Then were the spectators of the agile crockery collectively hallucinated?
12674They asked:''What is the difference between a living body and a dead one?''
12674Thyraeus now raises the difficult question:''Are the sounds heard in haunted houses real, or hallucinatory?''
12674To the friends of a force or faculty in our nature, M. Littre remarks, in effect,''Why do n''t you_ use_ your force?
12674Vincent?''
12674Was he well?
12674Was there any coincidence between the hallucination and facts at the time unknown to you?
12674We do not so much ask:''Are these stories true?''
12674Well, be it so; what does anthropology study with so much zest as survivals?
12674What have she- goats to do in the matter?
12674What is his motive?
12674What makes them repeat the stories they do repeat?
12674What then is the type, the typical haunted house, from which, if narratives vary much, they are apt to break down under cross- examination?
12674When they met, she said:''Did you take your friend with you?''
12674Whence, then, comes the uniformity of evidence?
12674Why should the behaviour of ghosts be an exception?
12674Why was there no trial of the case till''about 1798 or 1799''?
12674Will can move my limbs, if it also moves my table, what is there superstitious in that?
12674X X?
12674Yes: but how does that explain volatile pots and pans?
12674and how many portraits of mediaeval people does he suppose to exist in English country houses?
12674and''why?''
12674as,''_ Why are these stories told_?''
12674what have I done that thou should''st help to assail me?
12674where are the spirits?
12674who heareth their noises?
12674who seeth their visions?''
12674why do n''t you supply a new motor for locomotives?
12674{ 207b} Consequently, they, at least, were hallucinations; so what was Lieutenant B.?
12674{ 319b} Perhaps the unscientific reader supposes that Dr. Carpenter replied to the arguments of M. de Gasparin?
12674{ 65b} How do you discriminate between demons, and gods, that are manifest, or not manifest?
12674{ 70b} Or is there a blending of the soul''s operations with the divine inspiration?
41739(_ Examines MRS. MILDEW''S bundle upon his knees._) What do you call this?
41739(_ Looking round._) Why, where''s our Martha?

41739But why not?

41739If he be like to die-- what then?
41739If he finds me going there, year after year and saying, Uncle Scrooge, how are you?
41739If he wanted to keep''em after he was dead, a wicked old screw, why was n''t he natural in his life time?
41739If this had never been between us, tell me, would you seek me out, and try to win me now?
41739In what, then?
41739Is its pattern strange to you?
41739Is that a claw protruding from your skirts?
41739Know me, man?
41739Know you this place?

41739MRS. M. Whose else''s?

41739What foul and obscure place is this?

41739What my worthy friend Bob Cratchit-- how is this, man?
41739What news my love-- is it good or bad?
41739What of that?

41739Yes-- you used to stop, and say"How d''ye do?"

41739why is this?
41739why show me this if I am past all hope?
30440''And have you no explanation of these hauntings?'' 30440 ''But within a radius of a few miles?''
30440''How far are the houses off the hill?'' 30440 ''Well,''William replied, a puzzled expression on his face,''you noticed an ebony chair in the room?''
30440And what would be the after- effect, Mr O''Donnell?
30440But why did you venture here alone?
30440Is n''t it terrible?
30440Pray what was the matter with her? 30440 Well?"
30440What is your opinion on that point?
30440Where is she?
30440Wo n''t you come with me?
30440Yes,I replied;"but how on earth do you know?"
30440You will let me know when you do?
30440''Are the houses close together-- in the same road or valley?''
30440''Whoever can it be?''
30440; or are they things that were never carnate?
30440A phantasm of some dead tree?
30440And, if they have one sense, have they not others?
30440Another glass of Moselle?"
30440Are the insects, the trees, the fish responsible for the diseases with which they are inflicted?
30440Are their crude devices and mad, tomboyish pranks merely reactionary, and the only means they have of finding vent for their naturally high spirits?
30440But are we always right?
30440But be serious now, I beg you, and tell me what made you come to- night and what you have been doing all these years?
30440But what caused the man in the street to notice me?
30440But, of course, you wo n''t mind spending a night in it?''
30440CHAPTER VI COMPLEX HAUNTINGS AND OCCULT BESTIALITIES What are occult bestialities?
30440Ca n''t you see it?"
30440Can I expect you to believe that?
30440Can they see, hear, or smell?
30440Can they, like certain-- not all-- dogs and horses and other animals, detect the proximity of the unknown?
30440Can you see any association in the two hauntings-- any possible connection between what you heard and what Mr Vercoe saw?"
30440Could anyone save the blindest and most fanatical of biblical bigots call the ordainer of such a punishment merciful?
30440Dingan exclaimed, when I approached him on the subject,''the mango tree on the Yuka Road, just before you get to the bridge over the river?
30440Do they tremble and shake with fear at the sight of some psychic vegetation, or are they utterly devoid of any such faculty?
30440Do you know what the sounds were, Baroness?
30440Had she no dowry, or was she an heiress with an ogre of a father, or was she already married?"
30440Hans inquired,"and why unarmed?
30440Have I seen them?
30440Have they any senses at all?
30440Have you heard from Mr Vercoe lately?"
30440How came you to get hold of such a crazy idea?''
30440How utterly futile, for who, in God''s name, would hear me?
30440I fell on my knees before her and kissed-- what?
30440I murmured,''why Dolmen?''
30440I was at an"at home"one afternoon several seasons ago, when an old friend of mine suddenly whispered:"You see that lady in black, over there?
30440If the unknown brain has a separate existence, and can detach itself at times( as in"projection"), why must it wait for death to set it entirely free?
30440In my dreams, in the wild fantasies that had oft- times visited my pillow at night-- in delirium, in reality, where?
30440Is n''t she divine?
30440Is n''t that so, Jacques?''
30440It is more than twelve hours since he was executed; will anything-- will the shape, the personality, I anticipate-- come?
30440Leaning over the little tile- covered table at which we sat, the stranger suddenly said:"Do you see anything by me?
30440May not that creaking be sometimes due to an invisible presence in the chair?
30440Now, what do you think of that?"
30440Or is it the reverse?
30440Over and over again I asked myself the hackneyed, but none the less thrilling question,''What form will it take?
30440Presently a voice, every whit as lovely as the face, said:"So you are Jack''s chum?"
30440Shall we leave the beast here or take it with us?"
30440Something is coming, and, if that something is not the phantasm of him whom I believe is earthbound, whose phantasm is it?
30440The Crescent, Bath?"
30440Then, quite suddenly, a man stepped out from the dark entrance to a by- street, and, touching me lightly on the arm, said,"Is there anything amiss?
30440WHERE?
30440Was it a shape of my fancy, or was it horrible reality that I heard and saw on that night?
30440What ails you?"
30440What are pixies?
30440What do you think of them?"
30440What had I seen?
30440What is the matter?"
30440What phantasm of any standing at all would be attracted by such baubles?
30440What prompted him to lend me his aid?
30440What shall I do?"
30440What was it?
30440What was it?
30440What was the history of the house?"
30440What, then, is it?
30440When will you start, and what will you take with you?''
30440When would he begin his job and how?
30440Whence came it?
30440Whence come these strangers, to all appearance of flesh and blood like myself?
30440Where could one find a greater combination of typically criminal characteristics?
30440Who has not seen, or fancied he has seen, a fire- coffin?
30440Why not?
30440Why should He?
30440Why?
30440Will it be simply a phantasm of a dead Celt, or some peculiarly grotesque and awful elemental[1] attracted to the spot by human remains?''
30440Would it be rid of him?
30440Would that God, if He were almighty, have permitted the existence of such an enemy( or indeed an enemy at all) as the Devil?
30440Yet of what?
30440Yet what could I do?
30440Yet where did these articles go, and of what use would they be to a poltergeist?
30440You ask me why?
30440_ Fire- coffins_ Who has not seen all manner of pictures in the fire?
30440_ Mermaids_ Who would not, if they could, believe in mermaids?
30440or a vice- elemental, whose presence there would be due to some particularly wicked crime or series of crimes perpetrated on or near the spot?
30440some peculiar species of spirit( I have elsewhere termed a vagrarian), attracted thither by the loneliness of the locality?
30440some vicious, evil phantasm?
30440was it true?
30440what shall I do?
42566Come, wots yer shout for liquor? 42566 Do ye me dear?"
42566Ho, trespasser, what shall I do?
42566It''s a fair deceit And I am a curious man-- Yes I am a curious man, my badge Is seventeen seventy- seven, But wot is a badge? 42566 Mein gott, vots them?"
42566O Corney is it you?
42566O WHERE is my Johnnie acushla?
42566O troubadour, what brings you here, So lone and sad?
42566O who am I? 42566 Then how on earth could you expect to be the man who could get on?"
42566Thy name?
42566What? 42566 Where is now, that love?"
42566Why do n''t you get up out of that?
42566Will you give that rose to me?
42566Will you slack?
42566Would you know him, an''he be Waiting there, by yonder tree?
42566''Twas on her mother''s sofa he looked at her, said he,"I''m kinder sweet on you, love, will you accept of me?
42566******"What brings the two of you down here?"
42566Ah vot is deed of glory, ven blood is on ze vings Of love, zat makes ze heaven on earth, und vot are kings?
42566Am I before a doctor''s shop, Where coloured bottles be?

42566He cried"Shall I evict by Law?
42566He jumped up in bed, and he cried with an oath,"What''s that, that you''re doing, you scamp?"
42566He stopped the old piano, and"Vot of zat?"
42566He swigged the pint before him, then heaved a bitter sigh,"What?
42566I heard a voice that muttered"What are ye doin''there?"
42566Is there a green light, on my face, That you should spake to me?
42566Mervyn Jones of Pontypridd?"
42566Now shall I chuck you out myself, Or seek injunct, from Chancerie?"
42566O have ye saw the blackberries, Upon the brambly bush?

42566PRETTY maiden, all the way, All the way, all the way, Pretty maiden, why so gay, On the road, to London?
42566Said he,"What''s up?
42566She greeted me upsmiling, with business kindled fire, And volunteered the question,"What rooms do you require?"
42566Siz he"What''s all this squealin''for?
42566THE tears were in her eye, Said I"what makes you cry?"
42566That thou should''st cause the lieges to irradiate their hair, With horror at thy felon work?
42566The groom ran down the stable stairs with horsey oathings dire, And a constable came knocking said he"are you''s on fire?"
42566The iron ships, and bullet proof cuirass to scape the fight?
42566The pensive penguin harkened unto his lonely wail; The albatross did follow he shrieked him for the clew,"O who am I?
42566Then have you bent your awe sthrick gaze, There, up aginst the skies?
42566What boots it if thou crack Thy butler''s neck?

44625''A stranger? 44625 ''And this?''
44625''I will do anything you ask,''replied the passenger,''but what shall I write?'' 44625 ''The matter, sir?
44625''Well, Mr. Bruce,''said the Captain,''did not I tell you that you had been dreaming?'' 44625 ''What were you doing?''
44625''Why, Mr. Bruce,''said the latter,''what in the world is the matter with you?'' 44625 ''You say that this is your handwriting?''
44625But are there no real ghosts? 44625 Have you then forgotten our promises to each other, pledged in early life?
44625I again addressed it, this time in the language of the country,''What do you want?'' 44625 I strove to speak-- my voice utterly failed me; I could only think to myself, Is this fear?
44625Tell me,I said,"Lord Tyrone, why and wherefore are you here at this time of the night?"
44625The men saluted him; and the captain called out:''How''s she heading?'' 44625 This I immediately did; and the next day when my sister arrived, she asked me if I had complied with her request?
44625Upon hearing this the captain said to the second mate:''When did you heave the lead? 44625 ''Could anyone have been stowed away?'' 44625 ''Well, do you like it?'' 44625 ''What are ye talkin''about?'' 44625 ''What is up?'' 44625 ''What was this gentleman about at noon to- day?'' 44625 13 The Terror of the Dark 14 What is a Ghost? 44625 18 Historic Investigations 20 Death Coincidences 21 Are They Due to Chance? 44625 ARE THEY DUE TO CHANCE? 44625 After all, is n''t there some reason for the fears that we all feel, more or less, at that time? 44625 After all, were not his arguments somewhat impressive? 44625 And why did_ It appear_? 44625 At last:''What is the meaning of this?'' 44625 Bruce?'' 44625 But how about those ghosts which appear some time after death? 44625 But you say,''he added, turning to the passenger,''that you did not dream of writing on a slate?'' 44625 But, after all, what_ is_ a ghost? 44625 CAN HAUNTED HOUSES BECURED"?
44625Can I be of use to you?''
44625Can I do anything for you?''
44625Can not you see why I hate it so?"
44625Can that be right?
44625Can this be done?
44625Chance, you say?
44625Could a simple"hallucination"have been so widespread and so prevalent?
44625Could a_ hundred_?
44625Did the animal succeed in affecting his master by telepathy?
44625For, if a living mind can influence the living by telepathy; why not a"dead"one?
44625For, if the phantom were a mere hallucination, as many claim, how did several see it at once?
44625Had n''t they seen him with a sword on every''quid''they''d ever seen?
44625He then called his first mate, as he was going off watch, and asked him how all things fared?
44625How came you here when you are so ill?"
44625How can a telepathic impulse from a distant mind cause a picture to appear in space, as it were, before the recipient?
44625How can there be real ghost stories when there are no real ghosts?
44625How do they manifest?
44625How is yours, sir?''
44625How many of us have seen the microbe that kills?
44625I called aloud:''May n''t I strike a light and show you the way along this dark hall?''
44625I exclaimed,''Good God, how and where?''
44625I fell on my knees before her and kissed-- what?
44625I got annoyed and said,''Can you not speak, man, and tell me if anything is wrong?''
44625I had not been awake long enough to remember that she was dead, and exclaimed quite naturally,''Why, dear, what''s the matter?''
44625I said:''Who are you?''
44625I started up and said:''Edward, is there anything wrong?''
44625If not, why the coincidence?
44625If we were to believe that a simple hallucination caused the figure, how account for this identification?
44625In my dreams, in the wild fantasies that had oft- times visited by pillow at night-- in delirium, in reality, where?
44625In short, we are back to our original question: What are ghosts?
44625In what do they consist?
44625In what may it be supposed to consist?
44625It asked:''Who is the lady in white?''
44625It had not yet come in, and Sir Tristram asked:''Why are you so particularly eager about letters to- day?''
44625It is this: Can so- called Haunted Houses be_ cured_?
44625It would lie down by my side; perhaps touch me; perhaps-- who could tell?
44625Mrs. Claughton said:''Am I dreaming, or is it true?''
44625My curiosity, however, was far greater than my fear, and I kept asking myself what the thing was, and why it was there?
44625On seeing Z. a few days afterwards, I inquired:''Did anything happen at your rooms on Saturday night?''
44625So far so good, but how about apparitions of the living?
44625So, after all, as I said, is n''t there some reasonable ground for one''s fear at such times?"
44625TELEPATHIC HALLUCINATIONS How may the theory be said to work?
44625TRUE GHOST STORIES CHAPTER I WHAT IS A GHOST?
44625The first chapter deals with the interesting question,"What is a Ghost?"
44625Then, before you could say"knife,"the Germans had turned, and we were after them, fighting like ninety....''"''Where was this?''
44625This, therefore, is one very strong point in favor of this hypothesis; but if the ghost is a real, outstanding entity, how account for his clothes?
44625WHAT IS A GHOST?
44625WHERE?
44625Was it real?
44625Was it the result of imposture?
44625Was it the work of imagination?
44625Was there something amiss with my own hearing, then, that I could distinguish no word amid these deeply emphasized tones?
44625Was this hallucination, or some vision of the unseen, coming in so unexpected a fashion?
44625What did your mate see?''
44625What do they do with themselves?
44625What do we mean by this?
44625What had I seen?
44625What has been said by way of explanation of these cases?
44625What should I do if I were in darkness?''
44625What water had you?''
44625When we regained the avenue( in silence) Miss Moore asked Miss Langton,''What did you see?''
44625Where do ghosts live, and how?
44625Who else would venture down without orders?''
44625Who is that at your desk?''
44625Who wrote the_ other_?''
44625Who?''
44625Why do they believe?
44625Why do they return?
44625Why should not the surviving spirit of man continue to influence us, by telepathy?
44625Would they believe if they had no cause to do so?
44625Yet if we can not believe this, how are we to explain this difficulty-- and the fact that ghosts wear ghostly garments?
44625Yet, after all, why should they?
44625Yet, if there are real, objective, outstanding ghosts, how can we explain them?
44625You ask me why?
44625You do n''t mean to tell me you did n''t see her?''
44625_ One_ case of this character might be explained in such manner; but could_ fifty_?
44625_ What is_ this connection?
44625_ Who_ or_ what_ was it that waked the captain and bade him save the ship?
44625_ Why_ should Lord Brougham have dreamed this particular dream at the very moment his friend died?
44625during its early years-- a terror which is, to a certain extent, shared by animals and even insects-- does all this signify nothing?
40729(_ Makes sign to Bob, who extinguishes his candle and puts on his hat and enters._) You''ll want all day to morrow, I suppose?
40729And Martha warn''t as late last Christmas Day by half an hour?

40729B._ To whom will our debt be transferred?
40729Bed curtains?
40729But why do spirits walk the earth, and why do they come to me?
40729But, however and whenever we part from one another, I am sure we shall none of us forget poor Tiny Tim, shall we?
40729C._ And how did little Tim behave?
40729C._ Knew what, my dear?
40729C._ What has ever got your precious father, then?
40729Cold, is n''t it?
40729Come, dine with us to- morrow?
40729Do you know whether they''ve sold the prize turkey that was hanging up there?
40729Do you remember this?
40729Eh?
40729Even if I have grown so much wiser, what then?
40729Have I not?
40729Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge, or Mr. Marley?
40729Have you had many brothers, Spirit?
40729I am not changed toward you,(_ She shakes her head._) Am I?
40729If I was to stop half- a- crown for it you''d think yourself ill- used, I''ll be bound?
40729If this had never been between us, tell me, would you seek me out and try to win me now?
40729Is it good or bad?
40729Is it not enough that you are one of those whose passions made this cap, and force me through whole trains of years to wear it low upon my brow?
40729Is its pattern strange to_ you_?
40729Is that so much that he deserves your praise?
40729Is that so, Spirit?
40729K._ Guess?
40729K._ How can I?
40729K._ Who was it?
40729Laughter and merriment to follow Scrooge''s speech.__ Spir._ Do you know it?
40729M._ And did you not sacrifice your love in releasing him?
40729M._ If he wanted to keep''em after he was dead, the wicked old Screw, why was n''t he natural in his life time?
40729M._ Is it a bear?
40729M._ Is it a pig?
40729M._ Whose else''s do you think?
40729M._ Why, then, do n''t stand staring as if you was afraid, woman; who''s the wiser?
40729M._ You wish to be anonymous?
40729May I make bold to enquire what business has brought you here?
40729My dear Mr. Scrooge, are you really serious?
40729Not the little prize turkey; the big one?
40729Ought we not demand an explanation?
40729Poor Robin Crusoe, where have you been, Robin Crusoe?
40729R._ What has he done with his money?
40729R._ When did he die?
40729S._ Why, what was the matter with him?
40729SCENE I.--_Scrooge''s chambers.__ Scrooge discovered upon his knees.__ Scro._ Can this be the Spirit of Christmas Future that I see approaching?
40729Say that his power lives in words and looks; in things so light and unsignificant that it is impossible to add and count''em up; what then?
40729Shall it be blind man''s buff?
40729So Old Scratch has got his own, at last, hey?
40729Spirit and Scrooge following, coming down front, and observing with interest all that passes.__ Bob._ Why, where''s our Martha?
40729Spirit, are they yours?
40729Suppose we have a game?
40729Suppose we make up a party and volunteer?
40729There, now guess?
40729Tiny Tim, what do you say to that?
40729Tut, do n''t I know(_ laughingly_), Mr. Scrooge?
40729We''re not going to pick holes in each other''s coats, I suppose?
40729Were there no poor houses to which its light would have conducted_ me_?
40729What do you mean by coming here?
40729What do you say to a game?
40729What do you want with me?
40729What do_ you_ say, Topper?
40729What news?
40729What odds, Mrs. Dilber?
40729What reason have you to be merry?
40729What reason have you to be morose?
40729What right have you to be dismal?
40729What right have you to be merry?
40729What say you to the charge?
40729What shall I do?
40729What shall I put you down for?
40729What then?
40729What''s the consequence?
40729Who suffers by his ill whims?
40729Who''s next?
40729Who''s the worse for the loss of a few things like these?
40729Why do you delight to torture me?
40729Why do you point away?
40729Why does he not go on?
40729Why give it as a reason for not coming now?
40729Why have shown me all that you have, if I am past all hope?
40729Why not?
40729Why?
40729Will you come and see me?
40729Will you do me the favor?
40729Will you let me in?
40729Will you not speak to me?
40729Would it apply to any kind of dinner on this day?
40729You do n''t mean that, I''m sure?
40729You see this tooth- pick?
40729You went to- day, then, Robert?
40729You''re not a skater, I suppose?
40729[_ Exeunt._]_ Scro._ Spirit, is there a peculiar flavor in what you sprinkle from your torch?
40729[_ Shakes chain and wrings his hands._]_ Scro._ You are fettered; tell me why?
40729_ Enter Mr. Barnes_, L.,_ passes across stage; Scrooge follows and stops him.__ Scro._ My dear sir(_ taking both, his hands_), how do you do?
40729_ Fred._ But why?
40729_ Fred._ I want nothing from you; I ask nothing of you; why can not we be friends?
40729_ Fred._ What is it?
40729_ Gho._ Man of the worldly mind, do you believe in me, or not?
40729_ Gho._ Slow?
40729_ Gho._ What evidence do you require of my reality beyond that of your senses?
40729_ Gho._ Why do you doubt your senses?
40729_ Gho._ You do n''t believe in me?
40729_ Joe._ His blankets?
40729_ Joe._ What do you call wasting of it?
40729_ Joe._ You do n''t mean to say you took''em down, rings and all, with Old Scrooge lying there?
40729_ Joe._(_ Opening bundle._) What do you call this?
40729_ Julia._ Is it a tiger?
40729_ Mrs B._ We are quite ruined?
40729_ Mrs M._ But, mother, did you really love him?
40729_ Sarah._ Is it a cat?
40729_ Sarah._ What is it?
40729_ Scro._ And the union work- houses-- are they still in operation?
40729_ Scro._ Are spirit''s lives so short?
40729_ Scro._ Are there no prisons?
40729_ Scro._ Can you-- can you sit down?
40729_ Scro._ Could n''t I take''em all at once, and have it over, Jacob?
40729_ Scro._ Do you know the poulterers in the next street but one, at the corner?
40729_ Scro._ Going to church, eh?
40729_ Scro._ Have they no refuge or resource?
40729_ Scro._ How long since you contracted the debt?
40729_ Scro._ Is it?
40729_ Scro._ Is that the chance and hope you mentioned, Jacob?
40729_ Scro._ Long past?
40729_ Scro._ Spirit, tell me if Tiny Tim will live?
40729_ Scro._ The tread- mill and the poor law are in full vigor, then?
40729_ Scro._ To- night?
40729_ Scro._ What else can I be when I live in such a world of fools as this?
40729_ Scro._ What right have you to be passing here to remind me that it is Christmas?
40729_ Scro._ What would you have me do?
40729_ Scro._ What''s to day my fine fellow?
40729_ Scro._ Where have I heard those words?
40729_ Scro._ Who are you?
40729_ Scro._ Who, and what are you?
40729_ Scro._ Who_ were_ you then?
40729_ Scro._ Why did you get married?
40729_ Scro._ Why to a poor one most?
40729_ Scro._ Why, James, how much do you owe me?
40729_ Scro._ You travel fast?
40729_ Spir._ Are there no prisons?
40729_ Spir._ Have never walked forthwith the younger members of my family, meaning-- for I am very young-- my elder brothers, born in these later years?
40729_ Spir._ What is the matter?
40729_ Spir._ What is the matter?
40729_ Spir._ You remember it?
40729_ Stevens._ How are you?
40729_ Topper._ Is it a dog?

40729_ Voice outside._ What do you take me for?
40729_ Voice outside._ What the one as big as me?
40729_ Young S._ Have I ever sought release?
40729_ Young S._ Home, little Fan?
40729_ Young S._ In what, then?
40729_ Young S._ What idol has displaced you?
40729_ Young S._ What then?
40729_ Young S._ You think not?
40729dreadful apparition, why do you trouble me?
40729may I come in?
40729not coming, on Christmas Day?
40729who''s that?
40729would you so soon put out, with worldly hands, the light I give?
40729you boy in your Sunday clothes, what''s to- day?
39485''A black Newfoundland, with a large white streak on his flank?'' 39485 ''About what?''
39485''And Monsieur Pelletier and the children, are they well?'' 39485 ''And the body of the dog?''
39485''And the dog has attached himself to the regiment?'' 39485 ''And what did he say?
39485''And what did you do then, Mary?'' 39485 ''And,''said I,''how of the ghost?
39485''Are you afraid,''I said,''to go yourselves in the haunted chambers?'' 39485 ''Are you going up there now?''
39485''Aye,''said he,''but where''s Robertson? 39485 ''Belonging to this regiment?''
39485''But Fritz?'' 39485 ''But do you seriously mean to say, that you believe this to be a visionary dog, and not a dog of flesh and blood?''
39485''But how can you live here then?'' 39485 ''But why did you leave?
39485''But why? 39485 ''Did you, sir?''
39485''Do you mean to say you''ve really seen Mungo?'' 39485 ''Hamilton,''said he to the butler,''where did Captain S. sleep last night?''
39485''Have you got my bat, Healy?'' 39485 ''He is dead, I suppose?''
39485''How absurd,''said Mr. Zwengler;''and are you going to do it?'' 39485 ''How did he wake you?''
39485''How?'' 39485 ''I suppose, Mary, you''ve never been away from home before?''
39485''Into Jokel Falck, sir?'' 39485 ''Is Robertson here?''
39485''Is any of your family ill?'' 39485 ''Is that the way he always wakes the men?''
39485''Is there much game in the forest?'' 39485 ''Jacopo Ferraldi?''
39485''Mais, ma bonne Françoise,''I said;''vous avez quelque chose-- est il arrivà © quelque malheur à   Metz?'' 39485 ''Master wishes to know if you''ll soon be done, ma''am?
39485''My dear fellow, what are you talking about?'' 39485 ''Not been here?''
39485''Nothing about farmer Gould?'' 39485 ''Of what period is it,''I asked,''and how happens it to have been made by an Italian?''
39485''Perhaps the dog has taken a fancy to him?'' 39485 ''That''s a new name they''ve got for Schnapps, is n''t it?''
39485''Then I suppose during the season the family live here?'' 39485 ''Then it is the upper floors that are haunted?''
39485''Was it a white cat, ma''am?'' 39485 ''Well Healy,''said I, as he rolled in the barrel of beer; have you heard any news?''
39485''Well, Healy,''I said,''is n''t this a shocking thing about poor Farmer Gould? 39485 ''Well, and what has happened?''
39485''Well, sir, I''ve heard so; but how should he know? 39485 ''What does Healy say?''
39485''What happened to him?'' 39485 ''What nonsense?''
39485''What sort of unpleasant things?'' 39485 ''What''s the matter?''
39485''What?'' 39485 ''Where did she go, James?''
39485''Where''s Captain B?'' 39485 ''Where?''
39485''Where?'' 39485 ''Who says so?''
39485''Who was he?'' 39485 ''Whose dog is that?''
39485''Why do n''t you abolish it?'' 39485 ''Why?
39485''Why?'' 39485 ''Why?''
39485''Yes,''said he;''will you come?'' 39485 And are you convinced that it was a spectre, and not a dog of flesh and blood?"
39485And did it seem generally believed?
39485And have you ever seen Mungo again?
39485Ar''n''t he come back with the stuff?
39485Are you really venturing to accuse the General of cowardice?
39485Arn''t he here?
39485But what were these two helpless women to do, mutually confirmed in their apprehensions as they naturally were? 39485 Did you hear if he had been there?"
39485Do you think the people who told you believed it?
39485Have n''t you seen him?
39485How should I know?
39485I suppose he has been in England?
39485If it is not a secret, perhaps you will tell it to me?
39485Is Coullie come in?
39485No.--Don''t you see he''s not?
39485Then, she is dead?
39485This question being answered, I said,''Did you meet anybody on the road that night?'' 39485 This was easily done, and we found the date and the name; the count paused, and then added,''I dare say you can guess it?''
39485Well, I think nothing can be so cowardly as to be afraid to own the truth?
39485Wha''s that?
39485What can that boy be doing, all this time?
39485What did the host say to it?
39485What is his name?
39485Where''s Coullie?
39485You did not meet him on the road, nor in the village?
39485You have heard, I suppose of spectral illusions?
39485You have n''t seen anything of Rob, have you?
39485You might have been on that side of the hill?
39485''But do you mean to say,''said I,''that that is the reason the family do n''t live here, and that the castle is abandoned on that account?''
39485''Did n''t you ask me to come and play a game at billiards; and did n''t I tell you I''d come as soon as I had finished my letter?
39485''Do you think I intend to become an assassin?
39485''Has he heard anything new about this affair?''
39485''I saw him this evening-- who does he belong to?''
39485''Let us take it out of the frame?''
39485''What did you say?''
39485''What has happened to Fritz?''
39485''What is Mrs. Greathead''s attachment to the hedge?''
39485''What reason have you for such an extraordinary belief?''
39485''Which is the long room?''
39485Anything else wanted, sir?''
39485But everybody said,''Where did he get the money?''
39485But what could be his reason for so strange a proceeding, and why, if he wanted to evade the meeting, had he needlessly shown himself at all?
39485Crowe?"
39485Did any of your family ever say they saw anything extraordinary there?''
39485Did he meet Rob that day on his way to Gifford?
39485Did n''t you like the place?''
39485Do you not think there_ are_ times when the material may give place to the supernatural?
39485Even Annie no longer defended him, for where else could he be all night?
39485H?''
39485Has Madame Pelletier got rid of her_ grippe_?''
39485He''s gone to Gifford ar''n''t he?"
39485How are your friends?
39485How beautiful are their characters when studied?
39485How should they?
39485How''s father?"
39485However, I was just going to advance, and ask him what he was doing?
39485I answered, rather indignant;''what do you mean by_ suppose_?
39485I believe that''s all, Ma''am?''
39485I ca n''t think what he can mean by playing at Hide and Seek in this way?''
39485I do n''t know whether you saw the remains of an old tombstone in a corner of the garden?
39485I had ceased to think of the circumstance, and inquired what old gentleman she meant?
39485I said; how is that?
39485I understand you lived in the house yourself a short time; may I ask if you found any similar difficulty?''
39485Is she to live with us?''
39485It was the first question addressed to him--"Where''s Rob?"
39485Mary,''said one of the younger ones,''were n''t you frightened?''
39485Perhaps you''d too much to do?''
39485Shall I put the beer in the cellar?''
39485She called to him,"Is Rob come?"
39485What could Rob be doing so much out of the road as the Quarry?
39485What is their relation to the human race?
39485What''s the use of trying to hoax one?''
39485Where in the world did this dog come from?
39485Where was he when you saw him?"
39485Which of the two should he follow?
39485Who does he belong to?''
39485Who gave you the message?''
39485Who is she, mamma?
39485Why are these creatures, sinless, as far as we see, placed here as the subjects of this barbarous, unthinking tyrant?
39485Why did n''t he keep his word with us?''
39485Why not really stay away from Portree?
39485Why?
39485Will you take me up stairs and shew me those rooms?''
39485Wo n''t he sell her?''
39485You''ve heard he was found dead in the road this morning?''
39485do n''t you see it?''
39485exclaimed my friend, in evident surprise;''when did you tell me so?
39485he chilled the marrow of my bones, and I could not away with him; so I said one day,"What if I go to England with the money?"
39485how willing they are to serve us when kindly treated?
39485how wonderful their intelligence when cultivated?
39485no, why should I be frightened at a shadow?''
39485not this morning, as you were passing my quarter?''
39485said Mrs. Colman,''do you know what you''re saying?''
39485was he pleased or otherwise, by the_ denouement_?''
39485what''s the matter?"
39769''Are we not children born of the one Father?'' 39769 ''But,''I said at last,''are n''t you going to tell me what has so unnerved you?''
39769Am I my brother''s keeper?
39769Are n''t you well?
39769At last I said,''Do n''t you think we had better leave to- day? 39769 But surely you heard the piano being played?"
39769But what sort of ghosts haunt it?
39769Do we need anything else, Phædrus? 39769 Have many people seen him?
39769Have you known any one who has ever seen anything?
39769How is it done?
39769Is it always the same figure?
39769It is a very large house, I suppose?
39769Seen things? 39769 Then what did you see?"
39769Then you all heard it?
39769Well, what of it? 39769 What did she think of the bathroom?"
39769What sort of figures?
39769What the devil is he to do?
39769Who was the man who killed himself in this room?
39769You also?
39769''What was it he had to do?
39769A day or two afterwards I said suddenly to the old family lawyer,"Was there ever a question of Uncle William leaving his money to me?"
39769After a few minutes of friendly conversation, which had taken an amusingly domestic turn, he said to me,"Now, how much has your husband got a year?"
39769After a little trivial conversation I said,"By the way, who is that brown man, dressed like a Satyr, who has been with you lately?"
39769Again, why did not Mrs. Sinclair see this ghost when her mother so plainly saw it?
39769Are burglars ever as rash as that?
39769Are the ghosts who haunt a dwelling indifferent to, or hostile to, the presence of their companions in the flesh?
39769As the horses were starting I called out to Miss Bates--"Tell me what''s going to win''The Cambridgeshire?''"
39769As the housemaid prepared to follow her I said,"Am I the only person sleeping on this floor?"
39769But was every one in the house clairaudient?
39769But where?
39769CHAPTER IX POMPEY AND THE DUCHESS Have animals souls?
39769CHAPTER XVIII HAUNTED ROOMS How is it that one can"feel"a room is haunted?
39769Could anything be more banal, more commonplace?
39769Did he contrive to drop the"tip"into my mind, open at that moment and eager to catch the response?
39769Did not the Christ warn his followers that the Path must be trodden more or less alone?
39769Do pictures originate the artist?
39769Do you wish to see me or my husband?"
39769Every one is interested in getting rid of this weird disturbance, but how to do it?
39769For what, after all, is a mystic, but one who enters into possession of the inner life?
39769Had I not heard them stealthily beginning the ascent of the stairs, and grow louder the nearer they approached me?
39769He sat up in bed and called out,"Who is it?"
39769How do ghosts contrive to make such a noise?
39769How few people realize that they have never seen themselves?
39769How many can tell what they really look like?
39769How often one is asked the question:"What is a medium?"
39769How shall I describe the sight?
39769How treat, as having right to equal power, the wise and the ignorant, the criminal and the saint?
39769How well I know the look and the words accompanying it:"Are you Violet Tweedale, the novelist?
39769How would she deal with the next story I am going to relate?
39769How would this lady treat the"Castel a Mare"scream?
39769How, she asked, could a firm social foundation ever be built up on this utter disregard of nature?
39769Human beings having a rag and trying to scare the neighborhood?
39769I sat down again and began to wonder if Lord Colin was ill, or was he dead, and why was he carrying lilacs?
39769I was alone, but for how long would I remain alone?
39769I wonder why?
39769I would have laid hold of them and said,"Do you hear that knocking?
39769If God be just and good, then what is the explanation of this hideous discrepancy in human lives?
39769If God is love, who could reconcile with any comprehensive idea of justice and law in the world the lives and experiences of common humanity?
39769If I had the courage to destroy them, what sort of condition would the bed be in after?
39769If the whole household was in the room what could they do?
39769In spite of this long friendship they were not the sort of people to whom I could have said,"Would you mind giving me another room?
39769Is he always there?"
39769Is it logical to suppose that there is no scheme of evolution for the immortal soul, in which it can preserve its individuality through the ages?
39769Lady Sykes laughed and replied,"Which are they?"
39769May it not be that this disembodied entity attached itself to my brother whilst he was out, and like a lost dog followed him home?
39769My father had put his invariable question to the old woman,"Have you seen her again?"
39769Nothing to be frightened of in that, is there?''
39769Now what does the subconsciousness contain?
39769Now will you give me your promise never to mention this subject to me again?
39769On the spur of the moment I said to my host,"Would n''t it be uncanny if we were to see a strange face looking down on us?"
39769Only then will come the perplexed question: Where can I see in all this overwhelming misery the Divine hand of love and justice?
39769Rats?
39769She paused, and I ventured to ask,"But what sort of shock?"
39769She set the tea down on a table and turned to me a scared face, as she answered by another question:"How ever did you find out that?"
39769Should I let go?
39769Supposing I did fall asleep, what would happen?
39769That was so, responded the ladies, and the burly Duchess inquired if Madame ever gave racing tips, or lucky numbers for Monte Carlo?
39769The hallucinations of a tired woman?
39769The question seems to me to hang more on the query-- do such creatures actually exist, than on the argument did I, or did I not see them?
39769Then I rang the bell, and when the butler entered the following dialogue took place:----"Who was the caller who has just been?"
39769There are people to- day who ask,"Is this the end of the world?"
39769Was murder taking place out there?
39769Was some spirit interested in racing hovering near?
39769Was this the real man and dog at last?
39769Were my nerves playing tricks with me?
39769What am I?
39769What are those entities working for?
39769What better shroud could any man ask for?
39769What brought about the decline of those mighty civilizations whose monuments of antiquity seem to mock our pride?
39769What can one do when paying a visit if one is ushered into a bedroom by one''s hostess which one instantly knows to be"unhealthful"?
39769What could I make of the affair?
39769What could Wynford have to say to any servant of Lord Strathmore?
39769What do you make of it?"
39769What explanation have I to offer?
39769What had I better do-- nothing?
39769What had prompted me to put that sudden question to the chambermaid?
39769What have we achieved?
39769What insidious disease brought about the fall of Rome?
39769What is an aura?
39769What is an elemental?
39769What is the Divine Law lying behind this seeming hideous injustice?
39769What is the grand apotheosis of each human life?
39769What is this astral counterpart of man?
39769What is this mysterious ego that thinks and acts?
39769What of our records?
39769What possible excuse could I make for cutting short my visit?
39769What should suddenly change a man''s whole disposition the moment he"shuffles off this mortal coil"?
39769What species of moth would he have declared them to be?
39769What then will be termed the severance we now call death?
39769What theory will explain this species of haunting which is quite common?
39769What was I to do?
39769What was I to do?
39769What was about to follow?
39769What was the power in you, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, that drew from countless women and men that wild unswerving devotion?
39769What was the secret of Helena Petrovski Blavatsky''s instant success?
39769What will become of all those grand old places in the future?
39769What would our grandparents have thought of this means of turning an honest penny?
39769What, I wonder, would he have made of that fat, gray flock sprinkling the bed?
39769What, it may be asked, is the value to a woman of psychic experiences, whose reality may be convincing to herself, but never to others?
39769When Christ asked,"Who has touched Me?
39769When I was once more alone with Madame Blavatsky, she turned to me with a wry smile and said,"Would you have me throw pearls before swine?"
39769When a break comes, perhaps through third- party treachery, there may come the sense of eternal severance, but is it eternal?
39769When were you last in Sicily?"
39769Where am I going?
39769Where are they now?
39769Where could they all have vanished to?
39769Where did that answer come from?
39769Where did you see him?"
39769Where had I seen this man before?
39769Where have I come from?
39769Where have they been lying hidden during all those flying years?
39769Where was she going?
39769Where was that stealthy watcher, whose baleful eyes I felt were fixed upon me?
39769Where will you be led: supposing you yield your will, would it ever be yours again?"
39769Where?
39769Which has the best chance of enduring in the future?
39769Which made light of terrible hardships, which followed you faithfully through glen and corrie?
39769Which?
39769Who and what are they, and for what distant shores are they bound?
39769Who can the"joker"be who is demoralizing his household, who has even dared to lock him into his own room?
39769Who on earth could she be?
39769Who was the player, and what was his instrument?
39769Why could we not leave to- day?''
39769Why did she come to that house, with which, it is certain, she had no connection?
39769Why did she only appear twice, and both times on the same date?
39769Why do ghosts suddenly take possession of a house with which, in their incarnate days, they have had no connection?
39769Why not?
39769Why should n''t you see a ghost?"
39769Will a member of the Psychical Society not try his luck?
39769Will these ancient civilizations be remembered when the fame of modern nations has vanished utterly?
39769Would I go and make inquiries?
39769Would I suddenly awake to the fact that some one unseen was pulling off the bedclothes?
39769Would one of the ladies suggest something she would like done?
39769Would some one come and try to strangle me in the night?
39769been on the Astral Plane lately?"

39769heard things?"
39769how do you think I am looking?''
39769who''d have thought it?
17229Ah, but mine?
17229And did it go up by the town, Or went it down by the lake? 17229 And is it thou, my little dead child, Come in from out the storm?
17229And was it so strange a sight That you should go like a child Thus to leave me to wait, forgotten, By a passing sight beguiled?
17229And was it the innermost heart of the bliss To find out so, what a wisdom love is? 17229 And was she some friend once cherished, Or was she a sister dead, That you left your own true lover Till the trysting hour had sped?"
17229And what have you met on the road That kept you so long and so late?
17229And who art thou?
17229Are ye sleeping, Margaret?
17229Are you awake, sweet William?
17229But how can I gang the nicht, When I''m new come hame frae sea? 17229 Did life roll back its record, dear, And show, as they say it does, past things clear?
17229How should I be fair and fine? 17229 How should I be white and red, So long, so long have I been dead?"
17229Is there ony room at your head, Saunders? 17229 MY LOVE THAT WAS SO TRUE"ONE OUT- OF- DOORS: SARAH PIATT A ghost-- is he afraid to be a ghost?
17229Mother, Mother, and art thou here? 17229 O is it blood or is it rust That makes the knife so red, Or is it but the red firelight That''s shining on the blade?"
17229O is it with the pale gray gleam That comes before the dawn, Or are ye weary with the road That ye look so ghastly wan?
17229O it''s three maidens, Marjorie, That once I promised to we d."What three things are these, sweet William, That stand close at your side?
17229O love Louise, have you waited long?
17229O mother, come and take your rest, Since Evan stays so late; If we leave the door unbarred for him, What need to sit and wait?
17229Oh, Mrs. B., O Mrs. B., Are these your sorrow''s deeds, Already getting up a flame To burn your widows''weeds? 17229 Oh, do you breathe, lad, that your breast Seems not to rise and fall, And here upon my bosom prest There beats no heart at all?"
17229Oh, false in life, oh, false in death, Wherever thy mad spirit be, Could it not come this night,she saith,"And keep tryst with me?"
17229Oh, is it weed, or fish, or floating hair-- A tress of golden hair, A drownéd maiden''s hair Above the nets at sea? 17229 Oh, lad, what is it, lad, that drops Wet from your neck on mine?
17229Oh, say, is that my father? 17229 Or was it a greater marvel to feel The perfect calm o''er the agony steal?
17229Out with the boat there,someone cried,--"Will he never come?
17229See now; I will listen with soul, not ear: What is the secret of dying, dear? 17229 The deer is couched among the fern, The bird sleeps on the tree; O what can keep my only son, He bides so long from me?"
17229Then have ye laid the quarrel by That was''twixt him and you, And given each other pledge of faith Ye will be friends anew?
17229Thy faith and troth thou sall na get, And our true love sall never twin, Until ye tell wha''comes o''women, Wot ye, who die in strong traivelling?
17229Was it the infinite wonder of all That you ever could let life''s flower fall? 17229 Was the miracle greater to find how deep Beyond all dreams sank downward that sleep?
17229What three things are these, sweet William, That lie close at thy feet?
17229What three things are these, sweet William, That stand beside your head?
17229Who are you, brother?
17229Who speaks?
17229Why standest thou here, dear daughter mine? 17229 Yet I''ll dry my tears for your sake: Why should I tease you, who can not please you Any more with the pains I take?"
17229''Twas I that stood to greet you on the churchyard pave( O fire of my heart''s grief, how could you never see?)
17229''Twas I that went beside you in the gray wood- mist( O core of my heart''s heart, how could you never know?)
17229''Twas the Bridegroom sat at the table- head, And the lights burned bright and clear--"Oh, who is there?"
17229-- Sir Ingoldsby Bray, he said in his rage,"What news?
17229--''What Baron or Squire, Or Knight of the shire Is half so good as a holy Friar?''
172296_ Tlot- tlot; tlot- tlot!_ Had they heard it?
17229A LEGEND: MAY KENDALL Ay, an old story, yet it might Have truth in it-- who knows?
17229A ghost?
17229Am I forbid To cross the room?
17229And art thou saved or art thou lost?"
17229And do they turn and turn in fright, Those little feet, in so much night?
17229And is it for himself she moans, Who is so far away?
17229And one laid hands on his own two hands,"O Brother o''mine,"quoth he,"What can I give to you who live Like gift you gave to me?
17229And she said,"Oh, what evil things Did tonight my senses take?"
17229And the ghost is a whim of an ailing mind?
17229And through the leagues above her She looked aghast and said:"What is this living ship that comes Where every ship is dead?"
17229And why is the old dog wild with joy Who all day long made moan?
17229Are you the old, old dead, Creeping through the long grass, To see the green leaves move And feel the light wind pass?
17229At the creeping mists when the hour grew late?
17229Because it was old Martin''s lot To be, not make, a decoration, Shall we then scorn him, having not His genius of appreciation?

17229How had so frail a thing the heart To journey where she trembled so?
17229I gave them the passing word-- Ah, why did I give thee more?
17229I pray it may be Molly''s self The banshee keens and cries, For who dare breathe the tale to her, Be it her man who dies?
17229In the darkness and the dew Come the little, flying flames, Are they the forgotten dead, Without names?
17229Is it thus that you keep your word?
17229Is there ony room at your feet?
17229Is there ony room at your side, Saunders?
17229Lean deeper in the settle- corner lest she find you-- Find and grow fearsome, too afraid to stay: Do you hear the hinge of the oaken press behind you?
17229Lord, Lord, wilt Thou not see?
17229Love master''d fear-- her brow she cross''d;"How, Richard, hast thou sped?
17229Martin?
17229Methought he said,"In this far land, O, is it thus we meet?
17229O, sisters, cross the bridge with me, My eyes are full of sand, What matter that I can not see, If ye take me by the hand?"
17229Oh, when will Sir Ingoldsby Bray come back?''
17229Oh, who is this comes in Over her threshold stone?
17229Oh, why did my sister hate me so That she would not let me rest?
17229Or did they strangle him as he lay there, With the long scarlet scarf I used to wear?
17229Or is he sleeping, my scarf round his head?
17229Or is it Molly Reilly''s death She cries until the day?
17229Or is it my true love Willy, From Scotland new come home?"
17229Or is''t my brother John?
17229Or the carven cherub- hands Which hold thy shield to the font?
17229Or the gauntlets on the wall Keep evil from its onward course as the great tides rise and fall?
17229Or the great wind, or an army, Or the waves of the wild sea?
17229Out and spake Sir Ingoldsby Bray,"What news?
17229Shall thy hatchment, mouldering grimly in yon church amid the sands, Stay trouble from thy household?
17229She heard the laughter from the house, she heard the fiddle played; She called her dead love to her side-- why should she be afraid?
17229She standeth before the Lord of all:"And may I go to my children small?"
17229Since I from Smaylho''me tower have been, What did my ladye do?"
17229Sir Ingoldsby Bray in his rage drew near, That little Foot- page, he blanch''d with fear;"Now where may the Prior of Abingdon lie?
17229Some people ask:"What cruel chance Made Martin''s life so sad a story?"
17229Step out three steps where Andrew stood,-- Why blanch thy cheeks for fear?
17229THE FETCH: DORA SIGERSON SHORTER"What makes you so late at the tryst, What caused you so long to be?
17229THE GHOST: WALTER DE LA MARE"Who knocks?"
17229That''s the sob and drip of a leaky drain?
17229The Bridegroom in his robe of white, Sat at the table- head--"Oh, who is that who moans without?"
17229The Bridegroom shaded his eyes and looked And his face was bright to see--"What dost thou here at the Lord''s Supper With thy body''s sins?"
17229The dead they are dead, they are out of the way?
17229The delicate odor of mignonette, The ghost of a dead- and- gone bouquet, Is all that tells of her story; yet Could she think of a sweeter way?
17229The ghostly vessels trembled From ruined stern to prow; What was this thing of terror That broke their vigil now?
17229The horse- hoofs ringing clear--_ Tlot- tlot, tlot- tlot_ in the distance?
17229The little live son he clung to her knee-- And frightened his eyes and dim--"Have ye never, my mother, a word for me?"
17229The three ghosts on the sunless road, Spake each to one another,"Whence came that red burn on your foot No dust or ash may cover?"
17229The three ghosts on the windless road, Spake each to one another,"Whence came that blood upon thy hand No other hand may cover?"
17229Their thoughts are in the night and cold, Their tears are heavier than the clay, But who is this at the threshold So young and gay?
17229Then why did ye whiten with fear to- day When ye heard a voice in the calling wind?
17229Then why do you start and shiver so?
17229There in thy breast,''Neath thy silken vest, What scroll is that, false Page, I see?"
17229Though he told me, who will believe it was said?
17229Was it a bird?
17229Was it the trick of a sense o''erwrought With outward watching and inward fret?
17229Were they deaf that they did not hear?
17229Wha is it taks them hence?
17229What are you, fireflies, That come as daylight dies?
17229What do you do there?
17229What flitted in the corridor Like a boy''s shape so dear and slight?
17229What have you found?"
17229What if his hair that brush''d her cheek Was stiff with frozen rime?
17229What is it falling on my lips, My lad, that tastes like brine?"
17229What moved, what stirred?
17229What news from the bold Buccleuch?"
17229What news, what news from Ancram fight?
17229What news?
17229What news?
17229What news?
17229What of the woeful notes that had wailed and fled?
17229What rower plies a reckless oar With mist on flood and strand?
17229What to- day of those pallid wraiths of the night?
17229What was the joyous whisper heard?
17229What was the laughter ran before?
17229What''s a- bringin''of you back aboard?''
17229When my heart is sair for the sicht O''my lass that langs for me?"
17229When will Sir Ingoldsby Bray come back?''"
17229Where fain, fain, I wad sleep?"
17229Wherefore does he haunt me so; Coming from the misty shadows Of a hundred years ago?
17229Who are then these cavaliers?
17229Who are those who ride so light, Soundless in the flaming light, Where Rheims burns, that was given By France to Mary, Queen of Heaven?
17229Who is he, my midnight guest?
17229Why did ye falter and look behind?
17229Yet in the quiet evening hour What comes, oh, lighter than a bird?
17229Yet, where the moonlight makes Nebulous silver pools A ghostly shape is cast-- Something unseen has stirred.... Was it a breeze that passed?
17229do n''t you hear the bells?"
17229he cried,"hast thou come back To say thou lov''st thy lover still?"
17229he says,"Or are you waking presentlie?
17229she said,"Or, William, are you asleep?
17229she said;"Why dost thou join our ghostly fleet Arrayed in living red?
17229the Bridegroom said,"Whose weary feet I hear?"
17229what news from Ingoldsby Hall?
17229what news?
17229what sound is in the breeze Like the sighing of forest trees?
15258A waterproof?
15258A what?
15258About what?
15258And I am sure your husband is not?
15258And after all we can manage very well without Ann, but what are we to do about Mrs. Mallet? 15258 And all this came to you through something of an evil nature?"
15258And did the figure remain for any time?
15258And how is the kitchen- maid?
15258And it could convince you of nothing?
15258And on your way back,said Lady Atherley,"would you mind the carriage stopping to leave some brandy at Monk''s?
15258And she believes?
15258And that--?
15258And that?
15258And then?
15258And what do they say to that?
15258And what may that be?
15258And what was it like, daddy?
15258And why, my dear, did you break your own excellent rule by mentioning it to her?
15258And yet you believe in a good God?
15258And you have no hope for anything beyond this?
15258Anything wrong?
15258But I suppose you would prefer to walk?
15258But how could Aunt Eleanour see the ghost when there is not any such thing?
15258But is it a Bible- class, or is it only called so? 15258 But she is in London, is she not, with Aunt Henrietta?"
15258But tell me, why should this discovery of this other life make you so miserable?
15258But the ghost itself?
15258But, George, if the pink- room ceiling is not put right by Saturday, where shall we put Uncle Augustus?
15258But, my dear Cecilia,said Lady Atherley, looking up from the work which she pursued beside a shaded lamp,"why did not Parkins pack it up herself?"
15258But, pray, what were you doing in old Mallet''s domain?
15258By the way,said Atherley that night after dinner, when Mrs. Molyneux was not present,"where are you going to put Cissy to- night?
15258Can any one help me, I wonder?
15258Can you tell me what you saw?
15258Cecilia? 15258 Charles, what is the meaning of that crying or howling which seems to come from your end of the house?"
15258Cissy is to keep the ghost at bay, is she?
15258Cissy,said Atherley, his arms on the gate, his eyes staring straight towards the opposite horizon,"tell us about the ghost; were you frightened?"
15258Did she ask to see me?
15258Did she cook that omelette? 15258 Do n''t they get on, then?"
15258Do n''t they? 15258 Do you ever see her now, Lindy?
15258Do you know what an atheist is?
15258Do you mean by a lost soul, a soul that is in never- ending torment?
15258Do you mean poor people from the East End?
15258Do you really and truly believe, Mrs. Mostyn, that this will be the fate of any single being?
15258Do you think it is nearly half- past four, Aunt Eleanour?
15258Even if they repent and desire to be reunited to Him?
15258George, do you remember the day that grandmother died, when they all broke down and cried a little at dinner, all except Uncle Marmaduke? 15258 Have you bought the ponies?"
15258Have you found life so wretched?
15258Have you never met her? 15258 Have you seen it?"
15258How can I prevent her going? 15258 How can you be so greedy?"
15258I should like to meet her very much; would not you, Lindy? 15258 I suppose she is sure to come?"
15258I thought you had gone to pay calls with Lady Atherley?
15258In what else could I believe, even without revelation? 15258 Is it likely?
15258Is not Uncle Augustus a fine- looking man?
15258Is she clever?
15258Is that Weald down there?
15258Is that all?
15258Is this your view of all supernatural manifestations?
15258Jane, what am I to do with Sir George? 15258 Last night?
15258Monk, I presume, is a sick labourer?
15258Mr. Lyndsay, how do you worm things out of people?
15258Mr. Lyndsay, why are you going? 15258 Mr. Lyndsay,"he said, in a voice as strangely altered as his whole appearance,"may I sit here a little-- till it is light?
15258Mrs. Mallet says that Cissy is perfectly respectable?
15258My dear Jane, you do n''t mean to tell me you are afraid of ghosts?
15258Nothing to do with what did you say?
15258Of any single being? 15258 Only what?"
15258Pray, how do you know Mrs. Mallet is going?
15258Pray, what is Mrs. Mallet herself doing under the circumstances?
15258Surely, under these circumstances, the best thing would be to commit suicide?
15258The future? 15258 The ghost?"
15258The ghost?
15258Then if a miracle could be proven, it would be no miracle to you?
15258Then it gave a terrible answer: it said,''What is God?'' 15258 Well, does the ghost usually appear in a ruff or in armour?"
15258Well, my darling boys, have you had your cream?
15258Well, what is a ghost?
15258What do you think of that?
15258What do you want to do at the other end of the village?
15258What does all this mean? 15258 What horrid woman?
15258What is the story of the ghost?
15258What knock, my darling?
15258What on earth have you been saying to her?
15258What on earth is the matter now?
15258What others? 15258 What was it like?"
15258When is she coming, then?
15258Where did you pick up this viper?
15258Where the others will be?
15258Where was her father, then?
15258Who can disbelieve it, Mrs. Mostyn? 15258 Who else has seen the ghost?"
15258Who was that young man who bowed to the altar and crossed himself?
15258Why are you angry with her? 15258 Why should you suppose I am going to church, either walking or driving?"
15258Why, I thought you sent to Whitford for a plasterer yesterday?
15258Why, what is the difference?
15258Would she tell me?
15258Would you like to see him, sir?
15258Yes, think of Mrs. de Noël, Mrs. Mallet; what will she say if you leave her cousin to starve?
15258You do n''t mean the lady in green velvet with the snuff- box?
15258You do not believe in ghosts?
15258You were in pain?
15258''And how do you know they have?''
15258''And what part of the Bible are you studying now?''
15258''Pray, have you ever played a game of Russian scandal?''
15258''Send for Mrs. de Noël?''
15258''Whatever shall I do?''
15258--''What did that matter?''
15258And I said in my dream--"Oh, Gladys, will it be always like this, or must we part again?"
15258And I said:''Why did you not turn for help to God?''
15258And pray how have they practised their preaching?"
15258And that is quite scientific and philosophical, is it not?
15258Are they still as good in your river?"
15258Are you going to make a bachelor of her too?"
15258As you are so kind, will you carry this in?"
15258Because she has seen the ghost?"
15258But where are you going to put her?
15258But who on earth was he talking about-- those wonderful people who do n''t care for money or success, or the best of everything generally?
15258But whom do you think I picked up on the way home?
15258But you must have heard about him, and about his sermons?
15258By the bye, Cissy, did you see it?"
15258CHAPTER V AUSTYN''S GOSPEL"He did not see the ghost, you say; he only felt it?
15258Castleman, is it true that Mrs. Mallet talks of leaving us because of the ghost?"
15258Did you say it wore a ruff and puffed sleeves?"
15258Do n''t you know the dream you make up in a few moments about the knocking at the door when they call you in the morning?
15258Do n''t you know the poor creatures in the Eastend sometimes drink just that they may not feel how hungry and how cold they are?
15258Do we not feel it passing quicker and quicker every year?
15258Do we not know that it is what will happen to the greatest number?
15258Do you believe in ghosts?"
15258Do you know what they are like?"
15258Do you remember the line,''Bring with you airs from heaven or blasts from hell''?
15258Do you wish me to propose to you again?
15258For what does the Book say?
15258George, how do you explain the miracle of her existence?"
15258Glancing from side to side I saw, standing at the far end of the platform, two women; one of them was tall; could this be Mrs. de Noël?
15258Has nothing which has happened to you, nothing you have ever seen or read or heard, tempted you to hope in something better?"
15258Have we not a plasterer in the village?"
15258Have you ever dreamt you were tramping through snow, and felt cold in consequence?
15258Have you ever heard him preach?
15258Have you seen the ghost yourself?"
15258Her husband, thus checked in full flight, seemed to reel for a moment, but quickly recovering himself, asked resignedly:"What noise?"
15258Here?
15258How am I to recognise a divine messenger?
15258How can I explain things if you are so flippant and impatient?
15258How can I explain?
15258How can I possibly explain things if you will not be serious?"
15258How does it affect his case that centuries later such pain may be unknown?"
15258How many more assurances do you expect from me?
15258I cried:''Oh, why do you look at me like that?
15258I might have found a fly for her, might I not?"
15258I sat down on a chair near her and said--"Do you think it would help you to talk of what has frightened you?"
15258If I was like this, if I was like that, what should I do?
15258If a man of his age who takes no exercise will eat three square meals a day, what else can he expect?
15258In the bachelor''s passage?
15258In the postscript?
15258Is it raining?"
15258Is that the carriage coming back from Rood Warren?
15258Is the life of the world and of outward things like that, if we live too much in it?
15258Is there nothing but this dark void beyond when life falls away from us?"
15258Is this sort of thing all you came in for?"
15258It was perhaps this remark that led the Canon to ask, on the way to church--"Is it true that Mrs. de Noël attends a dissenting chapel?"
15258Lindy, would you like to come with me?"
15258Lyndsay?"
15258Lyndsay?"
15258Lyndsay?"
15258Lyndsay?"
15258Lyndsay?"
15258Mallet?"
15258Mallet?"
15258Mallet?"
15258Many times during breakfast Denis looked thoughtfully at his great- uncle, and at last inquired--"Do you preach very long sermons, Uncle Augustus?"
15258Mostyn?"
15258Mr. Lyndsay, did you ever see anything like it?"
15258Mr. Lyndsay, do you hear?
15258Mr. Lyndsay, have you ever realised what the place of torment will be like?"
15258Mr. Lyndsay, why have you chosen that uncomfortable chair?
15258Mr. Lyndsay, would you be so kind as to look out and tell the coachman to drive round by Monk''s?
15258Not in the bachelor''s room, where your poor uncle made such a night of it?
15258Now?
15258Of course it has other great advantages, which I will explain later, like its cultivation of a sixth sense, for instance--""Do you mean common sense?"
15258Oh, are you off already?
15258Poor people are so afraid of distressing one; they often make themselves out better off than they really are, do n''t they?"
15258Pray what are we to do for dinner?"
15258She fell asleep praying, thinking, as she says; what was more natural or inevitable than that she should dream of the ghost?
15258She paused for a few moments and then continued--"Perhaps you are one of those who do not believe in the punishment of sin?"
15258The one question we have to ask ourselves is this:''"What does the Book say?"''
15258The question is, do you want pretty colour or do you want clear daylight?"
15258This and something in the whole outline--"Mrs. de Noël?"
15258Though, did not that pretty niece of Mrs. Molyneux''s say she used to see those spots floating before her eyes when a misfortune was impending?"
15258To dine?"
15258Was Atherley right after all?
15258Was I rude?
15258What are we to do when the fishing season begins?
15258What are you up to, George?"
15258What can make the plaster fall in this way?"
15258What do these excited females imagine she is going to do?"
15258What do you suppose it is to those-- by far the largest number, remember-- who have had the worst of it?
15258What does science discover in the universe?
15258What had so suddenly and so completely overthrown, not his own strength merely, but the defences of his faith?
15258What if he could bring me to life again?
15258What if he could kill me by an effort of the will?
15258What if it were true?
15258What is this?"
15258What more can you ask, if you are fit to live?"
15258What on earth is the matter?"
15258Why do you look so strange?"
15258Why not face the worst like men?
15258Why should indigestion take that mental form?"
15258Will you not rest here?"
15258Would it not be only wise, prudent even, to give the preference to that?
15258Would she tell us or not?
15258Would you be offended if I said how deeply I felt for you?"
15258You are ill?"
15258You know the long gallery?"
15258You will allow there is nothing supernatural in all that?"
15258You will like that, wo n''t you?
15258Your too sympathetic kitchen- maid?"
15258and how many times a year does he have a birthday?"
15258and may I ask what Ann, the kitchen- maid, is supposed to be doing?"
15258not to saint or apostle, but to you, yourself?
15258says she,''what if we was to see the ghost?''
15258that little room?
15258what?"
15258whatever do you think?''
15258why?"
38060After all, Glorious Lutie,she reflected contentedly,"why do I ever live in anything bigger than a hall bedroom?
38060And oh, why did n''t I have regular gold hair like yours instead of this garnet mane? 38060 And yet how can it be anything but a dream?
38060As for your noise about quitting six weeks ago,he said,"how was I to know that the suckers were going to stop running?
38060Batching it?
38060Ben waiting long?
38060But how am I going to know that you''re-- all right?
38060But that reminds me,the woman came on another difficulty,"what''s to guarantee that you''ll stay with me?"
38060Can you tell me the exact spot?
38060Could you tell me, I wonder, about the rest of Miss Murray''s furniture?
38060Did Miss Murray die in her room?
38060Did n''t they get as much as they should have?
38060Did you by chance live here when Lutetia Murray was alive?
38060Did you ever hear of any house in the country that''s been empty for a number of years that worn''t considered haunted?
38060Did you see Mr. Lewis there?
38060Do you feel all right now?
38060Do you know of any place where a girl who''s a stranger in New York may find a cheap and respectable lodging?
38060Do you mean to tell me I fainted?
38060Do you remember who bought it? 38060 Do you think I could buy any of those things back?"
38060Does it still belong in the Murray family?
38060Does she want me to stay_ here_ or go_ there_?
38060Er-- did you make out the signature on this?
38060Glorious Lutie?
38060Has anybody ever lived in the Murray place since the family left?
38060Have I been out long?
38060Have you a shovel handy?
38060Have you ever noticed how satisfactory little beasties are? 38060 Have you seen the Dew Pond yet?"
38060How did the rumor get about that the place was haunted, then?
38060How did you know this was her room?
38060How did you manage that exactly?
38060How did you spread it?
38060How soon can we go to the Murray place?
38060How''d you know?
38060How_ did_ they find me? 38060 I mean, what do you do with your leisure?"
38060I wonder what she wants?
38060I wonder what that post was for?
38060If_ here_, what does she want me to do? 38060 Is it to let?"
38060Is it true that I spent two years with the French Army? 38060 Is n''t it lucky I didn''t-- in my weakness-- say no?"
38060Is n''t this a wonderful world?
38060It is n''t occupied, you say?
38060It''s the old game, is n''t it?
38060May I leave this suitcase here? 38060 Meanin''--?"
38060Meaning?
38060Mike,he said,"you''re certain about your tip on the fly cops?"
38060Miss Ayer,Warner went on after a pause,"you read that letter-- the one you handed to me this morning?"
38060Mr. Lindsay-- that time you fainted when you first saw me, setting out there on the door- stone, you remember--?
38060Oh, Lutetia, Lutetia, how could you, how could you?
38060Oh, Mr. Lindsay, are n''t you heartbroken now that it is all over? 38060 Oh, Mrs. Spash,"he suggested,"would you be so good as to take me through this house?
38060Oh, what was it you were going to tell me, Susannah,Eloise interrupted suddenly,"just before we left the Attic?"
38060Oh,asked Mr. Warner, carelessly, casually,"did you have a pleasant evening?"
38060Oh,asked blue dress,"did you sublet your room?"
38060Suppose she beats it?
38060Suppose,continued Warner in the manner of one weighing every chance,"she goes with her troubles to some wise guy?"
38060That so?
38060The old house with the fanlight entrance, is n''t it? 38060 There,"concluded Warner,"that''s the layout, is n''t it?"
38060Was she very much in love with Lewis?
38060Watch me, wo n''t you? 38060 Well, Mike and I can shadow her, ca n''t we?"
38060Well, of course--Ernestine was beginning,"but what''s the use?"
38060Well, were n''t there any heirs?
38060Well, who was you expecting to see?
38060Well, why has n''t it let or sold?
38060What I would like to ask you,Mr. Phillips broke in,"does war seem such a pretty thing to you, young man, after you''ve seen a little of it?
38060What are you doing here?
38060What became of that cousin?
38060What became of the little girl?
38060What do they want? 38060 What is happening?
38060What would you say, Joe? 38060 What''s Broadway got on Market Street?"
38060What''s the matter, Sue?
38060When can I see you?... 38060 Where did Miss Murray get all these toys?"
38060Where did she write?
38060Where is he?
38060Where is she now?
38060Where is the Murray place?
38060Who are you?
38060Who owns it now?
38060Who took them?
38060Why do they say it''s haunted?
38060Why do we launder our tresses, I ask you, Glorious Lutie?
38060Why, when did they bring them in from the Dew Pond?
38060Wo n''t you have a seat?
38060Yes, why?
38060You was n''t thinking of hiring the place, was you?
38060You wish me to see that he apologizes?
38060*****"What rent do they ask for the Murray house?"
38060After a while,"What''s become of that child?"
38060After an instant,"How did you happen to be on the doorstep?"
38060All except the little girl--""Do you see the little girl?"
38060And how did you come to know Mrs. Spash?
38060And my painted bedroom set?
38060And of all his life here?
38060And oh, dear Mrs. Spash-- do you remember how sometimes I used to call you Mrs. Splash?
38060And that''s the only thing that counts, is n''t it?"
38060And the sideboard there?
38060And the six- legged highboy?
38060And then suddenly that revolver which came from-- where?
38060And what made you so heavenly good as to bring me here?
38060And when did the idea of writing Glorious Lutie''s-- my aunt''s-- biography occur to you?
38060And why did she keep repeating,"Number Fifty- seven and a Half, Washington Square, top floor, key under the rug?"
38060And,''having fallen in love with me instantly,''how soon may I ask you to marry me?''"
38060Another pause; and then Mr. Warner asked:"Would you mind waiting here for just a few moments before you make that decision final?"
38060Are you getting all this, Spink?
38060Are you my guardian angel, I wonder?"
38060As I stood there, shading my candle from the draft, that door opened and there emerged from the room-- what do you suppose?
38060As indeed, why should he?
38060But after Mr. Lewis came-- Queer, worn''t it?
38060But again where?
38060But could she put it through?
38060But do I?
38060But do n''t you think--_don''t_ you think-- they stopped the war too soon?
38060But first of all, how did you know that, now being Susannah Ayer, I was formerly Susannah Delano?"
38060But how?
38060But how?
38060But of what?
38060But what does she want me to do?
38060But where could she go-- when-- how?
38060But will you tell me how you_ do_ happen to be Susannah Ayer, when you were formerly Susannah Delano, alias Cherry-- or Cherie?"
38060By the way, have you any pictures of Lutetia?
38060Ca n''t you speak to me?"
38060Could n''t I sit up now?"
38060Did I ever fly?
38060Did I hear the ghost of a click?
38060Did she know of a good boarding- house in which to spend a month?
38060Did you notice that part of the letter where he says that for the last year or two his mind has been full of her?
38060Do n''t that sound pretty good to you?
38060Do n''t you think so?"
38060Do you know what that means?
38060Do you mind if we go now?
38060Do you remember my writing you that the chamber, just back of the one I occupy, must have been the room of a child-- Lutetia''s little niece?
38060Do you think, Glorious Lutie, when I reach your age, I shall be as good- looking as you?"
38060Do you understand?
38060Do you want me to go to New York?"
38060Early in the morning, Mr. Warner said:"Miss Ayer, I wonder if you can do a favor for us?"
38060George Jennings died of the flu in Paris-- see that big blonde over there, Dave?
38060Had her ruse fully succeeded-- would they mount at once to Room 9, fifth floor?
38060Had she the nerve?
38060Had she the strength?
38060Have we not in this office paid you every possible respect?"
38060Have you a bit of paper?
38060Have you been upstairs in the barn?"
38060Have you ever watched a bee fly?
38060He should have his hat on-- or was she seeing through his hat?
38060He turned abruptly with a--"Hello, old top, what do you want?"
38060How are you, Ernestine?"
38060How can I ever thank them enough?
38060How can he put over what he wants to say?"
38060How did I get back here?
38060How did they do it?
38060How did you find me?
38060How did you happen to come here?
38060How did you know who I was?
38060How much is Cowler good for?"
38060How soon before you''ll want to start back?"
38060How soon would you like to go in, say?"
38060How the devil_ can_ you describe a ghost?
38060How to find them?"
38060How, then, might she find a room and a hiding- place?
38060I do want as soon as possible to see Mr. Lindsay and his cousin-- Miss Stockbridge, did you say?
38060I guess I''ve never before even tried to guess what it means to be trapped?"
38060I mean-- what is the next move?
38060I suppose that is a great surprise to you?"
38060I wonder if Byan is still in his room?
38060I wonder what powder you did use?
38060I wonder what your dresses were like?
38060If I could have said anything it would have been:"What do you want of me, you handsome old beggar?"
38060If I do n''t.... What do you suppose I''ve done?
38060If the dead, who?
38060If the living, who?
38060If_ there_, what does she want me to do_ there_?
38060If_ there_--where is_ there_?
38060Is her errand concerned with the living or the dead?
38060Is it true that I served two more with the American Army?
38060Is there anyone here to drive me?"
38060It was obvious that conflicting comments fought for expression, but all he managed to say-- and ineptly enough-- was:"Oh, you knew her, then?"
38060It''s the key house of New York, is n''t it?
38060Mary Merle used to have a ducky little flat on the second floor, did n''t she?"
38060May I offer you my Rolls- Royce to bring you back and forth to work?
38060May I see you alone for a moment?"
38060Monroe?"
38060Mrs. Spash asked this as casually as though she had said,"Has the postman been here this morning?"
38060Now what in the name of heaven is the next move?"
38060Now why not use a little sense?
38060Now will you promise me that you''ll take the nine train tomorrow?"
38060Now would n''t she?
38060Oh, by the way, Mrs. Spash,"Lindsay veered as though remembering suddenly something he had forgotten,"do other people see them?"
38060One place, I comes across several scores of_ poilus_--on their_ permissions_ similar-- squatting on the ground and doing-- what do you suppose?
38060Or am I just piercing another dimension?"
38060Or do you guess?
38060Putty Doane was taken prisoner by the Germans at-- Oh, see that gang of up- towners-- aren''t they snippy and patronizing and silly?
38060Queer idea, worn''t it?"
38060She had a disposition to stay there-- why was she so weak?
38060Somebody''s bound to get it-- and why not we?
38060Spink, you have never heard of a jovial ghost, have you?
38060That letter-- what did it mean?
38060That''s very pathetic, is n''t it?
38060Then I''ll go into-- what?
38060They do n''t lay traps for you and try to put you in a tortured position that you ca n''t wriggle out of?"
38060Try to get the wonder, the magic, the terror, the touch now and then of horror, but above all the fierce thrill-- of living with a family of ghosts?
38060VI"How did they find me, Glorious Lutie?"
38060Was it anxiety?
38060Was it true?
38060What are you doing with yourself, these days, Gratia?"
38060What did we want with this royal suite here, and ours a correspondence game?
38060What do we split if we stop today?
38060What does_ she_ want?"
38060What''s the news, Gratia?
38060What, Glorious Lutie, tell me what?
38060When do you propose to bring out this new edition, and how do you account for that recent demand for her?
38060Where did you find the little Chinese toys?
38060Where does one go after dinner?
38060Where shall I begin?"
38060Where to find them?
38060Which of these six was it?"
38060Who better qualified than Lutetia''s own niece?
38060Who''d ever thought you''d turn out-- you big rough- neck you-- to be a collector of antiques?
38060Why could she see that?
38060Why did n''t you tell me that fish were interesting?
38060Why do n''t we trust our intuitions?
38060Why have they put the bureau over there?"
38060Why was there effort about floating?
38060Will you keep my trunk until I send for it?
38060With a flourish, the waiter set the dinner- card before her, asking:"What will you have next, Madame?"
38060Wonderful old place, is n''t it?"
38060Worn''t that cute?
38060Would n''t you prefer to make yourself presentable for the street and then join us there-- in about ten minutes, say?"
38060Would you be willing to steer him through all this?
38060You ai n''t an invalid, are you?"
38060You know about that?"
38060You like your work, do n''t you?"
38060You''ve got the old dope worked up to the idea she''s interested in him, have n''t you?
38060You''ve seen the slave quarters and the whipping- post upstairs?"
38060he interrogated the empty air,"and what do you want?
9312Afraid of him? 9312 After all, what does life in the other world amount to?
9312Ah, well, there was no-- you''ll excuse me, I am sure-- no former lover in the case, was there?
9312Ah,said Brenton, when he saw the Frenchman,"have you any news for me?"
9312Ah,said that official, when they met,"you got your letter, did you?
9312Ah,said the other,"in reference to what?"
9312Alice,cried Stratton, impulsively grasping her hand in both of his,"do n''t you think you would like Chicago as a place of residence?"
9312All?
9312And I suppose, poor woman, she will furnish an interesting article for the paper?
9312And are you sure she is the criminal?
9312And have you not had experience enough?
9312And how about heaven and hell?
9312And how did you get in here?
9312And if I wish to find you here, how do I set about it?
9312And may not Stephen Roland be an innocent person?
9312And might I ask what that motive is, or was?
9312And what do you do with a man like that?
9312And what is his case?
9312And where is that, pray?
9312And who are you?
9312Anything more about the convention, George?
9312Are n''t you afraid that_ you_ may find it a serious one?
9312Are there matters here, then, that you think could be improved?
9312Are those localities all a myth? 9312 Are you sure you discharged him before it was too late?"
9312But do n''t you see,argued Brenton,"that all the time spent on his present investigation is so much time lost?
9312Can we reach any of those places before the day is over?
9312Can we see him for a few moments?
9312Cincinnati, eh? 9312 Come, come,"said the man who stood beside Brenton,"have n''t you had enough of this?
9312Could you give me the name of each of them?
9312Dead? 9312 Did he object to any that were there?"
9312Did you ever see anything in your husband''s actions that would lead you to think him a man who might have contemplated suicide?
9312Did you leave your affairs in reasonably good order?
9312Did you take the morphia with you, doctor?
9312Do n''t you think, however, that we had better stay with her until she_ does_ confess? 9312 Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty?"
9312Do you have names in this spirit- land?
9312Do you imagine Roland had anything to do with it?
9312Do you know any one who is interested in that sort of thing? 9312 Do you know if he had any enemy who might wish his death?"
9312Do you know this writing?
9312Do you mean to say,said Stratton,"that there is nothing but quinine in those capsules?"
9312Do you think they will?
9312Do? 9312 Done, my dear fellow?
9312Even if she does, what of it? 9312 Generous?"
9312Gentlemen of the jury,was the question,"have you agreed upon a verdict?"
9312Had he ever spoken to you on the subject of suicide?
9312Have n''t I told you time and again,answered Brenton, indignantly,"that it was a mistake?
9312Have you ever heard him speak of anybody in a spirit of enmity?
9312Have you looked into that Cincinnati case at all?
9312He must have been a warm friend of yours?
9312How can you talk in that cold- blooded way?
9312How did the coffee cup reach him?
9312How did_ you_ get in here?
9312How do you know it?
9312How long have you been married?
9312How long have you been with us, and how do you like the country?
9312How many people were there at the dinner?
9312How much time do you give me?
9312How would London do?
9312How would Venice do?
9312I am what?
9312I have met a bluff before,he said carelessly;"but I should like to know what makes you think that such is our defence?"
9312I? 9312 If you have not, will you undertake to answer any questions I shall ask you, and not take offence if the questions seem to be personal ones?"
9312In Cincinnati?
9312Individually or collectively?
9312Is there, then,asked Brenton,"no communication between this world and the one that I have given up?"
9312Is this a Chicago joke?
9312It passed through no other hands, then?
9312Let me see, this is the last day of the convention, is n''t it? 9312 May I ask how you arrived at that conclusion?"
9312May I ask, then, what the defence is?
9312May we look at that book?
9312Mean? 9312 Much more of this, George?"
9312My dear Mrs. Brenton,began Roland,"I hope you are feeling better to- day?
9312My dear sir, do you not realize that I could knock you down or shoot you dead for what you have done, and be perfectly justified in doing so?
9312My dear sir,said Speed,"do n''t you see he is just the man we want?
9312My dear,said William Brenton to his wife,"do you think I shall be missed if I go upstairs for a while?
9312Never had any quarrel?
9312Novelist? 9312 Now, between ourselves, what do you think of the case?"
9312Now, forgive me if I ask you if you have ever had any trouble with your husband?
9312Overrate him, sir? 9312 Perhaps I shall,"said Brenton, with a sigh;"but, meanwhile, what am I to do with myself?
9312Really?
9312Sarah,she cried,"have I been dreaming, or is your master dead?"
9312Seem? 9312 She appeared at the inquest, of course?"
9312Still, why not try it with any of the passers- by?
9312Suppose we open this package?
9312Sure of it? 9312 Sure of that?"
9312Taking it all in all,said Brenton,"do you think the spirit- land is to be preferred to the one we have left?"
9312The second Chicago?
9312Then how can you be sure she is not guilty?
9312Then who is the guilty person?
9312Then who is the person?
9312Then you are not offended at what I have said?
9312Then you have not made any discovery?
9312Then you still believe that I am the murderer of William Brenton?
9312Think it? 9312 Time?"
9312Want to go down there, George?
9312Was he ever queer in his actions? 9312 Was his name Stephen Roland?"
9312Was morphia found in the coffee cup afterwards?
9312Was the gentleman in Lucerne?
9312Was your husband of a jealous disposition?
9312Well, old man,he said,"anything new?"
9312Well,said Speed,"you wo n''t come with me, then?
9312Were your husband''s business affairs in good condition at the time of his death?
9312What Cincinnati case?
9312What do you know of our defence?
9312What do you mean?
9312What do you think might turn up?
9312What have you done?
9312What have you found out?
9312What makes you think so?
9312What next? 9312 What other way?"
9312What part of the country are you from?
9312What sort of a looking girl is Jane Morton?
9312What was her name?
9312What would old Ferris say_ now_, eh?
9312What, is he dead, then?
9312When did he leave?
9312When you were in the world did you ever see a child cry over a broken toy? 9312 Where are you going?"
9312Where can we find him?
9312Where is she now, do you know?
9312Who is John?
9312Who is that? 9312 Who poured out that cup of coffee?"
9312Who poured out the coffee he drank that night?
9312Who sat next your husband at the head of the table?
9312Who was the servant?
9312Whom do you think Stratton suspects of the crime? 9312 Why are you so certain on that point?"
9312Why do you not think so?
9312Why, I thought you said I was a dead man?
9312Why, of course he will,answered Speed, indignantly;"has n''t he given him his word that he will?"
9312Why, what is there wrong about that?
9312Why, what was her motive?
9312Why, you are not afraid of him, are you?
9312Will you let me look at that page?
9312Will you tell me this-- was it about a gentleman?
9312Will you tell me what it was about?
9312Will,she said dreamily,"are you still asleep?"
9312Yes, but what do you think of her guilt or innocence?
9312You do n''t know about what time it was, do you? 9312 You evidently do not believe me?"
9312You had another disagreement with him before, if I might term it so, had you not?
9312You had no disagreement shortly before the dinner?
9312You have no objection, have you, to going with me?
9312You keep a book, of course, of all the prescriptions sent out?
9312You see this portrait?
9312You think nothing, then, of the disgrace of such a death-- of the bitter injustice of it?
9312You were a reasonably good husband, I suppose? 9312 You were at one end of the table and he at the other, I suppose?"
9312You will admit that you disliked Brenton?
9312You will not tell him?
9312You, perhaps, will admit that you are interested in her now?
9312You_ believe_; are n''t you sure?
9312_ Sure_ of it?
9312*****"Did you know her husband?"
9312After a talk on that momentous question, and when George Stratton held her hand and said good- bye, she asked him--"When do you go to Chicago?"
9312Am I not right?"
9312Am I right?"
9312Am I right?"
9312An ordinary policeman, or some one from the central office?
9312And what is the piece of business?"
9312Are you busy just now?"
9312Are you sorry I am going?"
9312But before you lay out any work for yourself, let me ask you if there is not some interesting part of the world that you would like to visit?"
9312But what do you say to Naples, or Japan, or, if you do n''t wish to go out of the United States, Yellowstone Park?"
9312By the way, Speed, what do you think of that line of defence?"
9312Did n''t I say George Stratton was the brightest newspaper man in Chicago?
9312Did the sight pain you to any extent?
9312Did the simple griefs of childhood carry any deep and lasting consternation to the mind of a grown- up man?
9312Did you find who the physician was that signed the certificate?"
9312Did you not know that a new toy could be purchased that would quite obliterate all thoughts of the other?
9312Did you not know that?"
9312Did you wish to see me professionally?"
9312Do n''t you appreciate the situation?
9312Do n''t you see that?"
9312Do n''t you see the force of that?"
9312Do n''t you want the matter ferreted out at all?"
9312Do you care to see any one?"
9312Do you deny any of the facts I have recited?"
9312Do you follow me?"
9312Do you happen to know,"said Stratton, turning to the sheriff,"how they came to that conclusion?"
9312Do you know_ anything_ about her?"
9312Do you remember the girl Jane Morton?"
9312Do you think Stratton will show the article to Brown if he gets what you call a scoop or a beat?"
9312Do you want to get a message to anybody?"
9312Finally she answered, dreamily--"Roland?
9312Guilty of what?"
9312Guilty of what?"]
9312Have the newspapers got on to the fact?"
9312Have you anything to propose?"
9312Have you been ill?
9312Have you got any light on the subject?"
9312I admit that it is a grievance to me, as an old newspaper man, to see the number of scoops I could have on my esteemed contemporaries, but--""Scoop?
9312I hope he was not seriously hurt?"
9312I presume you have no objection at all to co- operate with me?"
9312I presume you have them pretty well arranged in your own mind?"
9312I said to him in your presence,''Did you poison yourself?''
9312I suppose they all got on to it at the same time?"
9312I suppose you are engaged to be married?"
9312If it were true that he was dead, he said to himself, was not the plan outlined for him by Ferris very much the wiser course to adopt?
9312In short, did you ever notice anything about him that would lead you to doubt his sanity?
9312Is n''t the lawyer going to see the letter before it is sent to the paper?"
9312Is such communication possible?"
9312Is there nothing of punishment and nothing of reward in this spirit- land?"
9312Just let me see the last two pages, will you?"
9312May she not change her mind?"
9312My dear sir, did you administer this poison to yourself?"
9312Now what were the circumstances, again?"
9312Now where shall we spend the day?"
9312Now, as you have practically taken charge of this case, why do n''t you go and see him?"
9312Now, ca n''t you tell her I knew her husband, or something of that sort?
9312Now, can you give us a little of your time?
9312Now, what do you say to our trying whether or not we can influence Jane Morton to do what she ought to do, and confess her crime?"
9312Now, what is the thing that I should do if I were in Cincinnati?
9312Now, what is your trouble?
9312Now, what were the circumstances of this crime?
9312Now, who could have placed that poison in his cup of coffee?
9312Now-- you''ll excuse me if I am frank-- your wife was the one who benefited most by your death, was she not?"
9312Of course, you do not think it strong enough to convict a man of such a serious crime as murder?"
9312Once, when the music had ceased for a time, Alice tiptoed into the room, and said in a quiet voice--"How are you feeling, Will?
9312One of your victims, Ferris?"
9312Rather generous with the cash?"
9312She flung herself terror- stricken on the bed, after her room door was bolted, and cried,''Oh, why did I do it?
9312Should we, then, be prepared to say that circumstantial evidence will not be taken by an American jury as ground for the conviction of a murderer?
9312Stratton?"
9312Suppose that what you would call the worst should happen-- suppose she is hanged-- what then?"
9312The novelist?"
9312Then he said eagerly--"When you return, or if I go over there to see you after a year or two, may I ask you that question again?"
9312Then in other parts of the paper there were little items similar to this--"If Mrs. Brenton did not poison her husband, then who did?"
9312Then, placing his hand on the bell, he continued--"Whom shall I send for?
9312Was it to William Brenton?"
9312What do you say to that bit of evidence added to the circumstantial chain which you say is ingenious?"
9312What is a beat?"
9312What is that?"
9312What is the matter with you?
9312What month or week?"
9312What next?"
9312What, then, can they learn by talking with her, or what good can they do her with their minds already prejudiced against her?
9312When the sheriff and the newspaper man reached the other room, the former said--"Well, what do you think?"
9312Why in the world should she want to poison me, when she had all my wealth at her command as it was?"
9312Why, do n''t you see it?
9312Will you bring him to me?"
9312Will you come?"
9312Wo n''t you tell her that I have come with a letter from her own lawyers?
9312Wondering for a moment how he got there, and thinking that after all it was a dream, he said--"What is useless?
9312You did not feel ill before last night, did you?"
9312You got the letter, though, did you?"
9312You know Roland; what do you think of him?"
9312You never were in the newspaper business?
9312You will admit also that you were-- well, how shall I put it?--let us say, interested in his wife before her marriage?"
9312You will promise to come here and see me with him, will you not?"
9312[ Illustration:"Do you think I shall be missed?"]
9312[ Illustration:"How much time do you give me?"]
9312[ Illustration:"Oh, why did I do it?"]
9312and can you give me an introduction to him?"
9312any better?"
9312cried Brenton,"do you call it a trivial thing that a woman is in danger of her life for a crime which she never committed?"
9312cried Brenton,"is locomotion so easy as that?"
9312cried Mrs. Brenton, a strange fear coming over her as she stared at the girl;"guilty of_ what_?"
9312cried Speed;"who is she?"
9312did Brown say anything about the defence?
9312he cried;"who got the thirty grains of morphia?"
9312said Ferris;"doing him any good?"
9312said Mrs. Brenton, sympathetically,"was that_ all_?"
9312said Speed to Brenton, triumphantly,"what do you think of_ that_?
9312who was to profit by your death?"
9312why did I do it?
44397''Are you quite sure?'' 44397 ''Been to Helvore?''
44397''But how about the speed with which the thing darted at us,''Parminter said,''and the feeling we all had that it possessed innumerable legs? 44397 ''But why did the monk crawl and make such a queer rattling noise?''
44397''How are you, old chap?'' 44397 ''How dare you?''
44397''Possibly,''Parminter said,''but how about the gas? 44397 ''Sounded like sighing, groaning, and so on?''
44397''Then why the ghost?'' 44397 ''Then you feel certain the hauntings have now ceased?''
44397''They have n''t seen anything?'' 44397 ''Well, how do you account for it?''
44397''Where?'' 44397 ''Who are you?''
44397''Who is it this time?'' 44397 ''Who is it?''
44397''Will you come with me?'' 44397 ''You know the wood?''
44397A rum,John said at length,"or a gin?
44397Am I?
44397And big rents?
44397And in each case death had taken place in bed?
44397And in the event of your death,I remarked,"to whom do the title and estates revert?"
44397And none of these symptoms were noticeable in the deceased?
44397And the children?
44397And what are your plans with regard to the Caspar Beeches?
44397And you''ve forgiven me, John?
44397And you''ve forgiven me? 44397 Anything the matter?"
44397Are the Parrys of the ordinary servant class?
44397But why should you haunt this place at all?
44397But why this mystery? 44397 Ca n''t you appear to us with your head on,"Brown asked,"just as you were in your lifetime?"
44397Can I be of any service to you?
44397Can I ever forget it? 44397 Could the poison have been self- inflicted?
44397Did you have the same doctor to all three of your relatives after their deaths had been discovered?
44397Do I recollect it?
44397Do you like them?
44397Do you mean to tell me,Casson said"that neither of you saw a man in a blazer pass here just now?"
44397Do you think of residing there?
44397God''s truth, man, what do you mean by such a statement?
44397Had he any children?
44397Has all the furniture been taken away?
44397Has the ghost been too much for you?
44397Have the Parrys been with you long?
44397Have you any idea what killed your late master and mistress?
44397Have you come to consult me professionally?
44397Have you no theory?
44397Have you seen him?
44397He ai n''t done nothing to you, has he?
44397How did you come to suspect the clock, Vane?
44397I did not answer her at once, but let her ramble on, till she suddenly turned to me and said,''Do you remember the last time I was here? 44397 Know of him?"
44397May I speak to you in private, somewhere where there is no chance of our being overheard?
44397Mercy on us, you do n''t intend going there?
44397Mr. Wildbridge,he began, leaning forward and eyeing me intently,"do you believe in family curses?"
44397Mr. Wotherall, was n''t it?
44397New houses, are n''t they?
44397No peculiarity in common?
44397Now do you see it?
44397Seen her? 44397 Seen who?"
44397Sir Eldred?
44397The son of Sir Thomas Mansfield, the Bornean explorer?
44397The wind?
44397Then you are the present baronet?
44397Then you''re a rich man, John?
44397Those candles,he said,"why do n''t they burn properly?
44397Tired of life?
44397Was there nothing else in the three cases that struck you as unusual?
44397Well?
44397What age is he?
44397What do you mean?
44397What do you want to interfere with Ephraim for?
44397What do you want us to do?
44397What is it?
44397What is it?
44397What is it?
44397What is your opinion? 44397 What reason is there for your being earth- bound?"
44397What was that?
44397What''s become of him?
44397What''s his name?
44397What''s the matter? 44397 What, down there?"
44397When were the deaths first discovered?
44397Where is Rosalie?
44397Which would render them more susceptible to the influence of poison?
44397Who are you?
44397Who are you?
44397Who has the keys of the house?
44397Who''s there?
44397Who''s there?
44397Who''s there?
44397Whose funeral was it?
44397Why are you standing?
44397Why do you live alone? 44397 Why have you brought me here?"
44397Why is the house in darkness?
44397Why, what are you a- talking about?
44397Why, whatever other kind of spirits are there? 44397 Why?"
44397Would you like to go home?
44397You are quite sure you have no near relatives?
44397You are the only one left in your family?
44397You do n''t know where he went, I suppose?
44397You mean materialised thought forms?
44397You think, of course, that you may share the fate of your mother, father, and brother?
44397''Do you want a job?''
44397''How dare you annoy me like this?
44397''Was that all?''
44397''What can have happened to him?''
44397''What do you think it was?''
44397''Who are you?
44397''Who is the poor wretch?''
44397''You are not frightened,''I said;''you-- a member of the New Supernatural Investigation Society?''
44397''You think you will see the murder, do you?
44397-- Regency Square and fetch a lady and gentleman?
44397--, ai n''t it?"
44397And this house has none, has it?
44397And yet, if that were so, why was I certain that they were not the footsteps of any trespasser from outside?
44397And yet, what else could have produced that look of horror in the faces?
44397And, after all, what is of more consequence than pure air which means health?
44397Another pause, and then John said suddenly,"More brandy, Wilfred?"
44397Any more questions?"
44397Are n''t you coming?"
44397Are people suffering with such a disease prone to suicide?"
44397Are you sure?
44397Are you tired of life, Wilfred?"
44397Besides, why should a theatre be haunted?
44397Bowles?"
44397Brown ejaculated,"where was it?"
44397But how did you know?"
44397But what makes it blow about so?
44397But why do you ask?"
44397But why do you ask?"
44397But why, I ask, do we not hear creaks in the daytime, when the traffic is more constant and changes in the temperature quite as marked?
44397CHAPTER XIII THE PINES"Who is the most interesting person in this institution?"
44397Comes to you regularly?
44397Could it be the storm, or was it-- was it those trees?
44397Dare you go on?"
44397Did anyone recommend you?"
44397Did he mean the wind?
44397Did n''t you feel how intensely antagonistic it was to us?''
44397Did you want to see him?"
44397Do n''t you know of any pretty cottage or picturesque old farm, near here, that I could stay at?''
44397Do you hear that?"
44397Do you hear?''
44397Do you recollect the occasion?"
44397Do you remember what you said?
44397Do you remember your pet aversion in the way of ghosts?''
44397Do you see those shadows on the water?
44397Do you still let rooms?"
44397Do you think I should ask you round to my house, to drink the best vintage London can offer you, if I had n''t?
44397Do you think he''s worth it?''
44397Does the general public know everything?
44397Ever been there?''
44397Got over that little love affair, eh?
44397Griffiths?"
44397Have you never seen an almanac before?"
44397He did n''t like my laugh, and he persisted:''Was that all you heard?''
44397He did n''t owe you anything, did he?"
44397His eyes had tricked him in the kitchen; might they not trick him again out here, and in a rather more alarming manner?
44397How can you see her, and why should she come to you?"
44397How could a stone in a picture-- a thing of mere paint and canvas-- suddenly start rocking?
44397How long had it been left, and where was its owner?
44397I shouted out,"Can you tell me the way to the Gyp Mill?"
44397I suppose, by the way, there is no doubt that this George Mansfield is my cousin?"
44397I wonder if a murder did actually take place in that house?
44397I wonder why he''s come back?
44397If it wo n''t be tiring you too much, will you come and sit with me?"
44397Is n''t it often used?"
44397Is not the theatre, to it, simply the stage, and is it not profoundly ignorant of all that lies beyond the stage-- away back, behind the hidden wings?
44397Is that you?
44397Is there no way of seeing you-- just for a second?"
44397It was rather lucky for me that I did n''t go there after all, was n''t it?
44397May I take it home with me for a few nights?"
44397Mrs. Griffiths demanded, abruptly breaking off from her pastry- making"A souvenir of your friend?
44397Now, tell me-- of whom does your household at the Caspar Beeches consist?"
44397Or both?"
44397Or has my eyesight suddenly gone wrong?"
44397Rats?"
44397Rum or brandy?"
44397Shall I marry him or not?
44397Should I go?
44397Sir George cried angrily,"what the deuce do you mean?
44397Supposing you engage me as your secretary?"
44397That does n''t look much like a disabled monk, does it?''
44397There was still time for flight, but whither could I go?
44397Was n''t it funny?''
44397Was the terrible Bornean phantasm getting ready to manifest itself?
44397Was there any family or hereditary disease?"
44397Was there anything specially remarkable in the facial contractions or colour of the skin?"
44397Was this the prelude to it?
44397Water?"
44397Were the victims in a normal state of health?
44397What business had he there?
44397What chance had I when you pointed to your bank- book and said,''If I die I can settle all that on her''?
44397What could a black man and a young girl be doing prowling about the grounds of the Caspar Beeches at that hour of night?
44397What did the wind sound like?''
44397What do you think, Mrs. de Roscovi?"
44397What else could have killed them?
44397What had become of him, he wondered?
44397What had he been so carefully plotting with Craddock?
44397What had he discovered?
44397What in Heaven''s name can I do?"
44397What in Heaven''s name had become of the thing?
44397What is that?''
44397What is your opinion, Wilfred?"
44397What should I see?
44397What was it that made them different from other footsteps?
44397What were we talking about?
44397What''s that?
44397What''s that?"
44397What''s the good of love without prospects?"
44397When would the horror drop from them?
44397Whence would come the danger my instinct told me threatened him?
44397Where could it be?
44397Where had it got to?
44397Where is he, I say?"
44397Who do you mean?"
44397Who sent for you?"
44397Who were they?
44397Why are you here?''
44397Why ask?''
44397Why could n''t he see it?
44397Why did he stand in the moonlight?
44397Why do n''t you use dough?"
44397Why was it so deserted?
44397Why were n''t there people about-- living beings among those dark swaying trees and bushes like there were in the London parks?
44397Why, I asked myself, should these footsteps alarm me?
44397Why?
44397Why?"
44397Wildbridge?"
44397Will you go back with me to- night?
44397Will you remain here?"
44397Will you tell us what to do?"
44397Wotherall?"
44397Wotherall?"
44397Would you like to hear it?"
44397Would you like to see them?"
44397Yet whence came the gas and how was it administered?
44397You can invoke it, ca n''t you, Madame Valenspin?"
44397You do like your bit of fun, do n''t yer?"
44397You do n''t mind my playing the part of instructor?"
44397You say it is new?"
44397Your eyes are bad?''
44397he demanded,"and what right have you to fish here?"
44397what does it know of the thoughts of all that host of bygones-- of their terrible anxieties, their loves, their passions?
34171''Again, I must ask,''said the fiend, in a manner that aggravated me as it had aggravated the old gentleman,''who, in all creation, is Arabella?'' 34171 ''And if I refuse to submit to this outrage?''
34171''Are you there?'' 34171 ''Can you blame me for not being effusively grateful to you for having cut me out of three weeks of existence?''
34171''Do you know the date upon which I visited you first?'' 34171 ''Edward,''she replied,''are you mad?''
34171''Have I?'' 34171 ''Have I?''
34171''How do you do, sir?'' 34171 ''Oh, Edward, Edward,''she cried--''I forgot to tell you, Hopkins,''explained the spirit,''my name was Edward''--''oh, Edward, what does this mean?''
34171''Swallowing it; why?'' 34171 ''We?''
34171''Well,''I said as soon as I was able to speak,''what new disgrace is this you have put upon me? 34171 ''Well?''
34171''What can it mean?'' 34171 ''What does this mean?''
34171''What is that?'' 34171 ''What the devil have you been doing with that brandy?''
34171''Where have you been?'' 34171 ''Why not?''
34171''You do not mean to say,''he said,''that you take this fiery stuff without water?'' 34171 Am I?
34171An appeal to his vanity, eh?
34171And have you no clue to the thieves? 34171 And how long was it before you encountered yourself once more?"
34171And my hallucination was what?
34171And the fiend''s present title is?
34171And the fiend?
34171And the poor soul whose place you took?
34171And the real souls of these men?
34171And the speech next day? 34171 And then, Hopkins, that infernal fiend looked my father- in law elect square in the eye and asked,--"''Who the devil is Arabella?''
34171And what is that?
34171And when you meet him?
34171And where do you suppose the meeting took place?
34171Anything more, Toppleton?
34171Are you sure he is not an impostor?
34171At Buckingham Palace?
34171Buried it? 34171 But how do you propose to reach him?
34171But how is it,said Toppleton,"that this has never happened before?"
34171But how the deuce did you come to lose it? 34171 But tell me how have you become infamously famous?"
34171But what do you suggest as an alternative?
34171But what happened next? 34171 But why do you think you will succeed, Hopkins?
34171But you do n''t intend to let him back?
34171But, my dear fellow, what more than a pigeon- hole do you need?
34171Ca n''t you get a body in some way? 34171 Could I do anything but swear to what he asked?"
34171Did he acquire his title by descent? 34171 Did n''t you know where?"
34171Did n''t your father resist that?
34171Did the old gentleman persist in his determination to leave the country?
34171Did you find your head a little stretched when you got back into yourself again, or did he break his word and refuse to let you back?
34171Do y-- you want to give me heart failure?
34171Do you mean to say that the present occupant of your personality is the creature who robbed you of it?
34171Do you remember any of your law now?
34171Drowning?
34171Every one of the volumes will be absolutely uncut, I suppose, eh?
34171First we must decide,''What is the wrong that has been put upon you?'' 34171 Haunted, sir?"
34171Have you been in this country long?
34171Have you-- er-- have you considered what Barncastle''s servants will think of this strange performance? 34171 He?"
34171How about the knock and the sigh?
34171How about the third method?
34171How can you talk if you stop your mouth up with a pipe?
34171How could I forget that? 34171 How could you suspect me of that?"
34171How did you get out of it?
34171How goes it is Rocky Mountain for how''s things, all your family well, and your creditors easy?
34171How goes it?
34171How goes what? 34171 How''s that?"
34171I found nothing wrong with it,said Hopkins;"did you suspect that anything was wrong there?"
34171I have changed; have I not?
34171I hope everything is-- er-- everything was all right with the room, sir?
34171I will omit the details of my life up to the time when I became a lawyer and--"You do n''t mean to say you_ ever_ became a lawyer?
34171I''m not, eh? 34171 I?
34171I?
34171I?
34171I?
34171If I did, where would your only material friend be? 34171 If you can lay all this misery bare to me, why ca n''t you lay it before those for whose good will and admiration you are lamenting?"
34171Is there anything in this world,it asked,"is there anything too sacred for you Americans to joke about?
34171Is this the way American lawyers do business generally?
34171It has n''t lost its good looks altogether, has it?
34171It''s a great custom, ai n''t it?
34171My dear,he said in a moment,"I have been ill you say for three weeks, and with no lucid intervals?"
34171Nearly, Hopkins?
34171Nearly? 34171 Now what could I do under the circumstances, Toppleton?"
34171Often,replied the spirit;"but the question has always been, how?"
34171Or a bit of fog coming down the chimney, eh, Stubbs?
34171Shall I open it for you?
34171Shoot myself? 34171 Summon the fiend?"
34171That I-- ah-- why, that I was writing an obituary poem on--"Me?
34171That''s all true enough,returned Hopkins,"but where am I to keep my law library?
34171They''ll think you are a craz--"What?
34171True, Barncastle?
34171We shall have a white Christmas after all, but,he added, gazing about him,"how the dickens did I ever come to be here, I wonder?
34171Were you fool enough to give it to him without getting a receipt?
34171Wh-- wh-- what sus-- seems to b-- be the m-- mum-- matter, sir?
34171Wh-- whuh-- what the devil did you do tha-- that for?
34171What are you talking about?
34171What awful power have you that you can leave your body and appear as you do now?
34171What could have induced you to fall in love with the daughter of a man like that?
34171What devilish complication does this mean, I wonder?
34171What did the thief who took your shape do with his old one?
34171What is the meaning of it-- how-- how has it come that you-- that you are here?
34171What the deuce is this?
34171What the devil is he talking about?
34171What''s come?
34171What, summon that deadly green thing before those men, and change places with him in the presence of witnesses? 34171 What?"
34171Where do you keep your face?
34171Where?
34171Which is?
34171Which was?
34171While acknowledging, Duchess, that I nevertheless am?
34171Who''s there?
34171Why did n''t you break them off and throw them at him?
34171Why do n''t you buy a house- boat?
34171Why not?
34171Why, my dear fellow, what object could I have? 34171 You give him credit for that, do n''t you?"
34171You know what? 34171 You mean to say that to all intents and purposes, an invisible being like yourself called on you as you have called on me?"
34171You mean to say that when you recovered your senses, you had been deprived of your body?
34171You must be a sort of cross between a rumour and a small boy, I suppose; is that it?
34171You''re not going to send that, are you?
34171''Are you not aware that three weeks have elapsed since you and your body parted company?
34171''Do n''t you hear me, sweetheart?
34171''Do you call this a matter of love?
34171''Do you mean to say to me, Edward, that you did_ not_ ask me to be your wife?''
34171''Have I been standing for Parliament?''
34171''I should like to know what excuse you can have for such infernal duplicity as you have been guilty of?''
34171''Mistake, you snivelling hypocrite?
34171''Murder or suicide?
34171''What is personal appearance to pre- eminent success?
34171''What_ does_ it all mean?
34171''Where have you been?''
34171''Where have you?''
34171''Why should you do all this for me who know you not, and without a price?''
34171''You have n''t disgraced me in her eyes, have you?''
34171''You meant that I should drink it, did n''t you?''
34171''You''ve come to, at last, eh?
34171Am I become a prey to hallucinations, and if so, am I not in grave danger of my personal liberty here if Barncastle should discover my weakness?"
34171Am I never to have relaxation from office cares?
34171Am I to make my mark now as an inebriate, or is this simply a little practical joke you are putting upon my sensibilities?
34171And what am I to do in case I should have a client?"
34171Are n''t there any comfortable chairs and beds there?"
34171Are you an apparition or what?"
34171As long as that?"
34171Besides,"continued Toppleton,"why should I care what his servants think?
34171But hurry up and get ready to relieve me of this mortal incubus of yours, and take your money-- it''s a nice little sum, eh?''
34171But let''s see; what_ does_ Barncastle say?
34171But tell me, Chatford, how do I look?"
34171But tell me, madame, are you Miss Arabella Hicksworthy- Johnstone?''
34171But, Stubbs, to what do you attribute these beastly disturbances?
34171By occupancy?
34171By purchase?
34171By the way-- have you a mother living?''
34171Ca n''t you borrow one temporarily?"
34171Can it be that Chatford is an illusion, a fanciful creation of a weak mind?
34171Clear as crystal, eh?"
34171Did Bonaparte die at the height of his glory?
34171Did Grant die at the zenith of his power?"
34171Did he keep his word?"
34171Did the fiend depart as you spoke those words?"
34171Did this private view you and the Nile- green apparition were having of each other last for ever?"
34171Did you become a student of nature?"
34171Did you ever know a genius in his infancy?"
34171Do n''t you see that to be spoken impressively these words demand a certain venomous hiss?
34171Do you know where it is?"
34171Do you see anything?''
34171Do you see me?
34171Do you see that note in this week''s_ Vanity Fair_, you vile deceiver?
34171Do you suppose I want to be reminded at every step I take that I am a lawyer?
34171Do you suppose that any woman, in fact, who would consent to marry you as your weak inefficient self could go anywhere and do me justice?
34171Do you suppose you could take her to a ball at the Earl of Mawlberry''s?
34171Do you think it''s a matter of love for an entire stranger to throw a two- pound crystal inkstand loaded with ink at the very core of my waistcoat?
34171Eh?"
34171Ever been in the Rockies, Barncastle?"
34171Ghosts?"
34171Has n''t somebody killed an office- boy in this apartment, for whistling?"
34171Has this room a history?"
34171Have I the honour of addressing Miss Arabella Hicksworthy- Johnstone?''
34171Have a pleasant trip?"
34171Have n''t you any better sense than to suggest my carrying my profession into my home life?
34171Have you discovered an Elixir of Life, then?"
34171Have you enjoyed your life?
34171Have you enjoyed your limbs?
34171Have you heard from the Duchess of Bangletop?"
34171Have you never observed how men of genius outlive their genius?
34171Have you no office hours, say from ten to two, when you may be seen by those desirous of feasting their eyes upon your tangibility?"
34171Have you thought of that?"
34171He has made my name famous--""You do n''t mean to say that he took your name too?"
34171How am I to understand you, when you sit around like a maudlin void lost in a vacuum?
34171How did Keats, son of a stableman, become the sweetest of our sonneteers?
34171How did you come to lose it, and is it still living?"
34171How did you know he would n''t rob you?"
34171How did you manage to live?"
34171How else account for the evolution of genius?
34171How goes it, anyhow?"
34171How is it accounted for?
34171How is that?"
34171How was that?
34171How?
34171I fell asleep here last night and I suppose he has-- Hello!--Who''s that?"
34171I sincerely hope you are not ill?"
34171I sympathize with you?
34171I want to know what your object is in coming here to expose me before my friends, to lay bare--""Object?
34171I''ll have to cook up some explanation for that-- lost it in an Indian fight in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, or some equally plausible theory, eh?"
34171If I had something to pull the trigger with, what should I fire at?
34171If there were anything supernatural about them, why did n''t the air get blue, and where''s my cold chill and my hair standing erect?
34171In short, madam, do you intend to claim me as your matrimonial prize or not?
34171In your own country, how did Lincoln and Grant spring from nothing to greatness?
34171It was only a sudden turn I had; only, my friend, go slow on the horrible, will you?"
34171It''s hopeless, Edward; and now that I think of it, even if you did get a form and should go to court, where are your witnesses?
34171Me?
34171Must my business be rammed down my throat at all hours?
34171See?"
34171Take this case for me, wo n''t you?"
34171That fiend who robbed me has my stomach, so what could I put the poison into?"
34171The train?"
34171To my eyes I appear rather plain and dusky- looking, but what''s the odds?
34171To what extent do you retain that remarkable omniscient quality?
34171Toppleton?"
34171Toppleton?"
34171Toppleton?"
34171Toppleton?"
34171Was the germ of greatness discoverable in them in their youth?
34171Was the old gentleman hurt?"
34171What am I here for, eh?
34171What are looks compared to immortality?
34171What are you, anyhow, a retired maniac or simply an active imbecile?''
34171What claim have I on you, eh?
34171What did Arabella say?"
34171What did you do?"
34171What do I say?"
34171What do you mean by your ill- timed levity?"
34171What does he say?"
34171What if the present occupant of my corse had again yielded to the seductive influence of the cup, and was off somewhere upon a prolonged spree?
34171What is my object?"
34171What mistake can there be?
34171What the deuce are you, anyhow?
34171What time is dinner?
34171What''s my name, eh?
34171What''s your price?"
34171Where he is?"
34171Where is your chin whisker?"
34171Who am I, eh?
34171Who in the name of my honoured partners are you?"
34171Whom did you suppose?''
34171Why have you treated me so?''
34171Why not atone for the past by admitting him once more?"
34171Will you not give it to me?"
34171Would you like that, Hopkins Toppleton?"
34171You are not ill, I hope?"
34171You want instances?
34171You will respect my confidence, will you not?"
34171You''ll go, of course?"
34171Your name is what?"
34171cried Toppleton,"the famous novelist?"
34171said Hopkins with enthusiasm,"that of being dunned by proxy, eh?
34171what the deuce did I do then?"
40453''And you, Mr. Nicholls,''I said,''have you formed no theory of your own upon the subject?'' 40453 ''But where,''I said,''do you think he is likely to have found such a hiding- place?''
40453''Can I see him?'' 40453 ''Can you tell me where he is living?
40453''Charles Ballingall?'' 40453 ''Did he?
40453''Do you hold the deeds of the house?'' 40453 ''Do you remember, Mr. Hurley,''I began,''the 22nd of October, 1892?''
40453''Have you? 40453 ''Is that so?''
40453''Is that you talking in here? 40453 ''Leaving instructions that you should act on his behalf?''
40453''May I inquire, in return, why you ask the question?'' 40453 ''Not insane?''
40453''Shall I answer this gentleman''s question, sir?'' 40453 ''Should you recognise Ossington''s signature-- and your own-- and the document to which they were attached?''
40453''So you''re at it again, are you? 40453 ''The 22nd of October, 1892?''
40453''Was there another witness?'' 40453 ''Were you acquainted with the nature of the document he was signing?''
40453''What was her name?'' 40453 ''What''s the nature of your right?''
40453''What''s your fortune to do with me?'' 40453 ''When found?''
40453''You had reasons to suppose that he had means?'' 40453 ''Your fortune?''
40453A book? 40453 A favour?
40453A jest at your expense?
40453Ai n''t you coming with me?
40453Am I to understand that you can give no description of the burglar-- that there''s no one you suspect?
40453Am I? 40453 And he looked like a gentleman?"
40453And he took nothing?
40453And pray who are you?
40453And pray, sir, what explanation have you to offer of the felony you are committing?
40453And then?
40453And what became of him?
40453And you say he could play?
40453And, Mr. Graham, you really think there is a hidden treasure?
40453Are you quite a beginner?
40453Are you so stupid?
40453Are you sure Ossington was the name he mentioned? 40453 Are you sure he was alone?"
40453Are you sure it''s a man?
40453Are you sure?
40453Are you sure?
40453Are you-- pardon me-- but are you Miss Ossington?
40453Are you? 40453 Ballingall?"
40453Behind the washstand?
40453But does n''t some one of that name live here?
40453But he did n''t behave like one?
40453But in the meantime?
40453But whatever did you let such an extraordinary- looking creature into the house for? 40453 But you called him a thief?"
40453But, my dear, how can you be so sure?
40453Ca n''t you see the ghost?
40453Can the catch have fallen? 40453 Can you describe him?"
40453Can you see him? 40453 Cat-- dog?
40453Did you give the alarm?
40453Did you mention anything to Mr. Nicholls about the paper?
40453Did you? 40453 Did-- didn''t I hear s- something in the kitchen?"
40453Do any of you believe in ghosts?--in disembodied spirits assuming a corporeal shape?--in the dead returning from their graves? 40453 Do n''t be so tiresome, Madge; tell us what it is?"
40453Do n''t you know who I am? 40453 Do n''t you see what the situation really is?"
40453Do they? 40453 Do you authorise me to gain an entry?"
40453Do you hear me? 40453 Do you mean that you''re the landlady?"
40453Do you mean to say that she gained entrance to this house by means of a key which she took from her pocket?
40453Do you see what''s written as a heading on that piece of paper?
40453Do you think it was either of your visitors who has paid us another call to- night?
40453Does it? 40453 Even if that is the case, as Miss Duncan puts it, where are you going to begin?
40453False?
40453First of all,struck in Madge,"how about the will?"
40453Give you a music lesson?
40453Gracious!--did she hit him?
40453Have you a pocket- knife?
40453Have you been able to make anything more of the writing which was left behind by your burglarious visitor?
40453Have you? 40453 He came in through the back window and left through the front?"
40453How about the landlord?
40453How do you know that?
40453How do you make that out?
40453How does it effect our right of search?
40453How much do you think they''ll give you for it?
40453How? 40453 I presume there is a back door?"
40453I suppose you are a genius?
40453I suppose you know there''s been a burglary here before?
40453I-- I beg your pardon-- but might I ask you a favour?
40453If he came here in search of plunder?--what else could he have come for?
40453In the meantime,suggested Ella, putting her hand up to her own lips,"what do you say to bed?"
40453In the morning, perhaps at dinner- time, he''d come into the cell in the usual way, and ask me:''Charlie, do you remember last night?''
40453Indeed? 40453 Is it a will?--a valid one, I mean?"
40453Is n''t it a voice from the grave?
40453Is she dead?
40453Is that the man who is watching you?
40453Is that you, Tom Ossington?
40453Is there anything in this room which gives you a hint? 40453 Is there no means of getting away by the back without returning to the front?"
40453Is this the piece you wish me to play? 40453 Is your name Ossington?"
40453It is true-- is it not?
40453It''s a strange homecoming, is it not? 40453 Listen,"she exclaimed;"who''s that?
40453Madge!--what do you mean?
40453Madge!--who is this woman?
40453Madge,cried Ella,"did you hear that?
40453Madge,exclaimed a voice,"who is this woman?"
40453Madge?
40453May I ask,inquired Jack, with mock severity,"who is it who is interrupting now?
40453Mr. Graham too? 40453 My dear, how can you be so certain?
40453My dear, you do n''t mean to say that that crazy creature has left such an impression on your mind?
40453Never mind what it shows; what''s the explanation?
40453Nice? 40453 No?
40453Northcote& Co? 40453 Now what?"
40453Now, what are you going to do?
40453Now, who''s that? 40453 Of course!--ain''t that what I''m saying?
40453Oh-- Madge heard him first?
40453Ossington? 40453 Ossington?
40453Ossington?
40453Pray what else is there to tell? 40453 See there-- what''s that?"
40453She told you? 40453 So you have told them of me, have you?
40453Something in the kitchen? 40453 Suppose the whole affair is a practical joke?"
40453Suppose, Madge, there should be a fortune hidden somewhere in the house?
40453Supposing this woman comes back again to- morrow?
40453That''s all right-- we''ve got something, have n''t we, Jack?
40453That''s very instructive, is n''t it?
40453The burglar left behind him a scrap of paper----"Oh, I did, did I? 40453 The burglary last night-- do you think?"
40453The key?
40453The man who stared through the window? 40453 The notion is not altogether an agreeable one, I''ll allow; but facts are----""What''s that?"
40453The paper says''three''--I measure three feet from where I am standing, along the wainscot-- you see? 40453 The point is,"said Ella,"where are you going to begin to look?"
40453Then did n''t you see him at all?
40453Then do you propose to dig up the whole of the back garden till you light upon their hallowed bones?
40453Then is our search barred? 40453 Then what right had he to do that?"
40453This is Clover Cottage?
40453This is n''t a trap, or anything of that kind?
40453Tom!--Are you a devil?
40453Tom!--what''s he doing here? 40453 Tom-- Tom, what is he doing here?"
40453Well, and what did they say?
40453Well, and what did you do then?
40453Well, has anything happened?
40453Well-- I could n''t very well shoot him if I never caught a glimpse of him, could I? 40453 Were the people who lived here named Ossington?"
40453What about his feelings? 40453 What affair is that of yours?
40453What are those things which are cut or moulded on that strip of beading, if it is beading, under the ceiling?
40453What are you doing here?
40453What are you doing?
40453What can have happened? 40453 What cause have you to suppose that?"
40453What difference does that make?--Then what use does he make of what I said spontaneously? 40453 What do you mean by that?"
40453What do you mean?
40453What do you say to that?
40453What is it which makes you-- all brimming over?
40453What is the matter? 40453 What is what?"
40453What man?
40453What sort of stories?
40453What''s the matter with you, Madge? 40453 What''s the odds?
40453What''s this?
40453What''s what?
40453What,she asked,"are you doing there?"
40453What-- Mr. Graham too?
40453What?
40453Whatever shall we do?
40453When will you do this?
40453Where shall I tear it off?--Here? 40453 Where?"
40453Who are you, and what is the meaning of your presence on these premises?
40453Who is she? 40453 Who on earth is that?"
40453Who said Ossington? 40453 Who''s that downstairs?"
40453Who''s that?
40453Who''s there?
40453Who-- who are these people? 40453 Who-- who''s this man?"
40453Why do you ask us such a question?
40453Why not commence,asked Madge,"with a thorough examination of the room which we''re now in?"
40453Will no one go?
40453Will you be so good as to tell me, at once, to whom I have the pleasure of speaking, and what business has brought you here?
40453Will you come this way? 40453 Would you know him if you saw him again?"
40453Yes, and then she came and told me----"Where was he all the time?
40453You did n''t follow him?
40453You fancy? 40453 You give music lessons?"
40453You have come to do what?
40453You hear him, Madge?
40453You knew it was Ballingall?--How did you know it was Ballingall? 40453 You knew?
40453You say you did n''t see him?
40453You''re sure this was his property?
40453You? 40453 Yours?"
40453''And whereabouts may Clover Cottage be?''
40453''Are you aware?''
40453''May I ask,''I said, beginning to think that his yarn smelt somewhat fishy,''what house this was?''
40453''What''s the matter now?''
40453''Why is n''t there a place in which they bring up babies so that they need n''t worry their mothers?''
40453--yes, I noticed it, but I do n''t know what it means-- do you?"
40453AND THE PANEL"And is that all the story?"
40453And have you no notion who the woman is?
40453And what did they say?"
40453And what''s yours-- cur, hound, thief?
40453And who are you, that you ask such a question-- of a lady?"
40453And who wants to live in a place with bare brick walls?
40453And would you be so kind as to change the subject?"
40453And you do n''t think the man in the road was a policeman?"
40453And you''ve got a pencil, have you?
40453Are n''t we to look at all?"
40453Are n''t you conscious of a sense of mystery about the place, and do n''t you feel it''s haunted?"
40453Are they all dried and withered?
40453Are you coming?"
40453As you are evidently aware that such a paper existed once upon a time, you are probably acquainted with its present whereabouts?''
40453At this point I would pause to inquire why, Miss Brodie, you did not take me into your confidence yesterday afternoon?"
40453Beneath it, how shall she stagger to the footstool of her God?
40453But perhaps you''ll tell us what is the key to the key?"
40453But why did n''t you explain?"
40453But why should n''t you make it yours?
40453But you do seem so happy, and I think that sharing other people''s happiness is almost as good as being happy yourself-- don''t you?
40453By the way, who is the landlord?"
40453CHAPTER XIII AN INTERRUPTED TREASURE HUNT"Well,"inquired Martyn, when Graham?
40453CHAPTER XVIII MADGE APPLIES MORE STRENGTH Was it imagination?
40453CHAPTER XX THE FORTUNE And the fortune?
40453Ca n''t you hear him crying now?
40453Ca n''t you hear him crying now?
40453Ca n''t you hear him saying it now?
40453Ca n''t you hear his lame foot moving about the floor?
40453Ca n''t you see it lying on the pillow, with a smile on its face?
40453Ca n''t you see the ghost?"
40453Ca n''t you see the ghost?"
40453Ca n''t you see the ghost?"
40453Ca n''t you see the ghost?''"
40453Ca n''t you see them too?"
40453Can you think of anything dirtier?
40453Did n''t I tell you you''d see the hand of Providence?
40453Did some one or something really pass from the room, causing in going a little current of air?
40453Did they not tell you his name?"
40453Did you bring-- me home-- for this?"
40453Did you not say that you had been for some time seeking for an opportunity to take lessons in music?"
40453Do n''t I tell you I''ve come to see the house?"
40453Do n''t I tell you this is my show?
40453Do n''t you know?"
40453Do n''t you think so, Mr. Graham?
40453Do you know any one of the name of Edward John Hurley?''
40453Do you know him?''
40453Do you know that we''re standing in the presence of a romance in real life-- on the verge of a blood- curdling mystery?
40453Do you know the man''s history?''
40453Do you mean that you do n''t know who she is?"
40453Do you remember witnessing Mr. Thomas Ossington''s attachment of his signature to a certain document on the 22nd of October, 1892?''
40453Do you want to queer it?
40453Does n''t it strike you, under the circumstances, as odd that the paper the burglar has left behind him, should be headed''Tom Ossington''s Ghost''?"
40453Does not all this suggest that we have here an explanation of part of what was written on the burglar''s paper?"
40453Does that tend to strengthen the evidence which goes to show that the deed, on your part, was a courageous one?"
40453Ella!--what are you doing?"
40453Ella, what can you mean?
40453Fact!--aren''t we, Graham?"
40453Graham too?''
40453Graham?"
40453Graham?"
40453Graham?"
40453Had n''t we better open the window and scream?
40453Has he gone mad?"
40453Has he gone?"
40453Have you been recommended by one of my pupils?"
40453Have you no bowels of compassion, Tom-- none?
40453He repeated my words, then replied to my question with another,''May I inquire why you ask?''
40453He''s in it now-- don''t you feel that he is in it?"
40453He''s lying there now-- can''t you see him lying there?"
40453His touch had been solid enough, he looked solid enough, but how came he to be in Southampton Street if he was lying in Wandsworth Churchyard?
40453How are you going to begin to take the house to pieces-- by taking the slates off the roof, and the chimney- pots down?"
40453How dare you talk such nonsense?
40453How did you know?"
40453How do you suppose we came in?--through the window?
40453How often I''ve thrown that lame foot in his face when I''ve been wild!--can''t you hear it hobble-- hobble?"
40453I am a poor, starving, police- ridden devil, being hounded to hell, full pelt, by a hundred other devils-- but, Bruce Graham, what are you?"
40453I believe, Graham, I am correct in saying so?"
40453I cried,''that Clover Cottage, Wandsworth Common, is the residence of the lady whom I hope to make my wife?''
40453I cried;''what are five pounds?''
40453I cried;''what''s the child down here at this time of the night for?''
40453I suppose you''re not afraid?"
40453If he were to come back----""Yes-- if he were to come back?"
40453In the morning he''d come and ask:"''Charlie, you remember what we did last night?''
40453In this house my baby was born-- wasn''t it, Tom?
40453Is his brain of necessity unhinged?
40453Is it necessary for you to talk as if you thought we should?"
40453Is it?"
40453Is n''t he cold- blooded?
40453Is n''t it blood- curdling?
40453Is n''t the inference an obvious one?
40453Is n''t there cowardice writ large?"
40453Is not a quittance nearly due-- from you, Tom?
40453Is she to add to it, still, the weight of your resentment?
40453Is she very mad?"
40453Is the man in front a policeman?"
40453Is there anything about the house which gives you a hint as to the meaning?"
40453It''s as if the house were full of ghosts-- isn''t it, Tom?"
40453It''s-- it''s-- yes, Tom, it''s a dog''s head, I see it is.--What am I to do with it?
40453May I ask who is the owner of the property?''
40453Me?
40453Miss Brodie, have you a tape measure?"
40453Must I repeat my invitation, and press you to enter, in face of the eagerness to effect an entrance which it seems that you have already shown?"
40453Must he of a certainty be mad?"
40453Not-- Ballingall?"
40453Now did n''t you?"
40453Now, honestly, Graham, is n''t it a most extraordinary thing?"
40453Oh!--You do?"
40453Oh!--one of your own writing?
40453Only we intend to choose the particular kind of loneliness which we happen to prefer-- don''t we, Madge?"
40453Or is it you, Jack?
40453Or was it fact?
40453Ossington?"
40453Press?--Yes, Tom, I am pressing.--Press harder?
40453Really you''re a trifle warm-- don''t you think you are?"
40453Ruining him?
40453She looked down, and she picked at the nap of her frock, and she asked, a tone or two under her usual key:"What is it?
40453Stay!--what was that?
40453Take the paper off the wall?
40453That means, probably, that between the outer wall and the wainscot there''s an open space-- and who knows what beside?
40453That''s a good house, is n''t it?"
40453The author''s spoken-- you shall be the dedicatee?"
40453The delights of the country, with the horrors of town thrown in.--Did you catch the ruffian?"
40453Then if you are not afraid, why should you have been so anxious to avoid him as to seek refuge, on so shallow a pretext, in a stranger''s house?"
40453Then we both of us heard him-- then Madge fired----""Fired?--what?"
40453Then what did she fire at?"
40453There was absolutely nothing to be seen; and why should she, a healthy- minded young woman, suffer herself to be frightened by the vacant air?
40453There''s forgiveness for sinners, Tom, with God; is there none with you?
40453They''ve been with me all through the years, wherever I''ve been-- and where have n''t I been?
40453To this house he brought me when we were married-- didn''t you, Tom?
40453Upstairs?
40453Was it the creaking of a board?
40453Was the woman mad?
40453Were you speaking to me?"
40453What are you doing here?"
40453What did I tell you?
40453What do you mean by a trap?"
40453What do you mean by saying you''ve come to see the house?"
40453What do you say?"
40453What does it matter to me who has it-- now?
40453What does my lawyer-- my own lawyer, who pressed on me his services, mind!--do, while I''m in prison for what I never did?
40453What have you been doing?
40453What he meant to infer, she did not know; but he laughed shortly,"What makes you ask such a thing?"
40453What is it?"
40453What is the matter with the man?
40453What on earth do you mean?"
40453What then?"
40453What use does he make of the confidence which he worms out of me?"
40453What was she to do?
40453What would you do with it?"
40453What''s happened?"
40453What''s that?
40453What''s the nature of your theory?''
40453What''s the use?
40453When is it coming out?"
40453When the police came today----""Do you mean to say that the police have been here to- day?"
40453Where are the title deeds of Clover Cottage-- and of other properties, of which he was the undoubted owner?
40453Where are those notes?
40453Where do you wish me to go?"
40453Where is the scrip?
40453Where was he?
40453Where''s that paper?
40453Where''s that revolver of Jack Martyn''s, which he lent you?"
40453Which one?--This one?
40453Who asked if my name was-- Ossington?"
40453Who said it?
40453Who was she, that she should turn custom from the door?
40453Who''s he?
40453Who?"
40453Whoever can it be-- at this hour of the night?
40453Why are you afraid of him?"
40453Why did n''t you come inside?''
40453Why should a board creak like that downstairs, unless-- it was being stepped upon?
40453Why should n''t it be yours?
40453Why then, at what from one point of view might be described as the very moment of his triumph, had he vanished?
40453Why, Tom, how many years is it since I was here?
40453Will you let the gentleman go on?"
40453With the rest, has it vanished into air?
40453You could hardly expect him to stop to close it, could you?"
40453You know that Ossington was-- peculiar?''
40453You think so?
40453You used to be of those who forgive till seventy times seven; are you now so unforgiving?
40453and been writing in your Bible?
40453and what''s she been doing?
40453and what''s she want?"
40453and whatever did she mean by screaming out that she''s a ghost''s wife?
40453had finished,"what is the situation now?"
40453he said,''but does n''t Mr. Ossington live here?''
40453he said,''why did n''t you come to Clover Cottage when I told you?''
40453not to speak of more unprofessional?
40453or shall I open the door?"
40453she exclaimed,"how about Tom Ossington''s Ghost?"
40453that''s the time of day is it?
13319Are the Dead Alive?
13319What shall the wedding breakfast be? 13319 _] Who has been at the desk?
13319--the rest of them?
13319... And with that child?
13319... Ca n''t I make my presence known to_ you_?
13319... No word?...
13319... What did you mean, Andrew?
13319... What made you think of it just then?
13319... You believe that?
13319A busy girl about the house, eh, Fritz?
13319A circus?
13319A compact?
13319A cup of coffee, sir?
13319A scene took place, eh?
13319A what?
13319Ah, but who lays out my linen?
13319Am I going to be a bone setter in the next life and he a tulip man?...
13319An M--?
13319An offer?
13319And could I hear you?
13319And he died believing you?
13319And how many times do you think_ you''ve_ been a spook yourself?
13319And some day, should your children wander far away and my gardens blossom for a stranger who may take my name from off the gates,--what_ is_ my name?
13319And then?
13319And why were n''t we_ all_ told?...
13319And you want to stay here?
13319Anybody in this house come to their senses yet?
13319Anything distressing you this morning, Mrs. Batholommey?
13319Are you feeling better?
13319Are you going... after all?
13319Are you in your senses?
13319Are you really going to sacrifice yourself because of-- Am I really losing you?...
13319Are you sure he''s dead?
13319Are you sure you remember that?
13319Are you sure you''ll want to come back to live here?
13319Are your feet wet?
13319As for the Colonel, who spent half his time with Mr. Grimm, what is his reward?
13319As_ PETER''S_ eyes rest on_ MARTA,_ he nods and smiles in recognition, waiting for a response._] Well, Marta?...
13319B.--er?
13319But better than all that-- who brings youth into my old house?
13319But did you want her to be happy simply because_ you_ are happy, sir?
13319But you hear me?
13319Ca n''t my love for you outlive_ me_?
13319Ca n''t you even hope?
13319Ca n''t you say it politely?
13319Ca n''t you wait a little while?
13319Ca n''t you_ think_ I''m trying to help you?
13319Ca n''t_ you_ understand one word?
13319Can you hypnotize a thermometer?
13319Can you see me, William?
13319Can you, James?
13319Catherine, have you asked James to be present at the ceremony to- morrow?
13319Circus music?
13319Come, Katie, tell me, on this fine spring morning, what sort of husband would you prefer?
13319Could you talk to me?
13319Dear old gentleman-- and er-- yes?
13319Did I disturb you, James?
13319Did he seem inclined to stay?
13319Did it cross over?...
13319Did n''t you?
13319Did you never hear the story of the lady who flattened her nose-- sticking it into other people''s business?
13319Did you see him, too?
13319Did you, William?
13319Did you-- er-- tell him that we intend to leave to- morrow?
13319Do n''t you call that sweating?
13319Do n''t you consider William much better?
13319Do n''t you hear it, sir?
13319Do n''t you know your old master?...
13319Do n''t you want her to be happy because_ she_ is happy?
13319Do you believe that you could come back here into this room and I could see you?
13319Do you expect nothing to change in your house?
13319Do you feel it?
13319Do you know how I was cured?
13319Do you know what I should like to say to your uncle?
13319Do you know where Annamarie is?
13319Do you know why I was sent away?
13319Do you know why-- of all this household-- you are the only one to help me?...
13319Do you like your new work?
13319Do you mean it?
13319Do you mean it?
13319Do you mean to tell me that any young girl should be freer?
13319Do you really believe such stuff?
13319Do you remember the clown that sang:"Uncle Rat has gone to town?"
13319Do you think he could have seen Uncle Peter?
13319Do you think it did n''t get on my nerves?
13319Doctor, you''ve seen a good many cross to the other world; tell me-- did you ever see one of them come back-- one?
13319Does the whole damned town know it?
13319Done for you?
13319Eh?
13319Eh?...
13319F--?
13319Free?
13319Free?
13319Give Katie more freedom, eh?
13319Grow up to fail?
13319H''m.... You both ask the same question, eh?
13319Had it anything to do with my little girl?
13319Happy, eh?
13319Happy?
13319Has it ever occurred to you that Katie is not happy?
13319Has my journey been in vain?...
13319Have you noticed how she''s coming out lately, James?
13319Have you seen our orchids?
13319He gabbed, eh?
13319He tosses his cap, coat and book on the sofa._] What''s the matter?
13319His eye is suddenly riveted on the telegram resting against the candlestick on the desk._] Is that telegram for me?
13319His watch fob?
13319How are you, Frederik?
13319How are you, Mr. Hicks?
13319How are your plum trees?
13319How can it turn out otherwise?
13319How do you do, Hartman?
13319How do you feel, laddie?
13319How do you know?
13319How do you think I got the money?
13319How ever did it find its way here?
13319How is he, Doctor?
13319How would you mount it?''"
13319How''s William?
13319How?
13319However, I think I''ve done away with them, for the whole town understands that Katie has n''t a penny-- doesn''t it, James?
13319Hy''re you, Mrs. Batholommey?
13319Hy''re, Henry?
13319I know you''ve set your heart upon her marrying Frederik, and all that sort of nonsense, but will it work?
13319I mean-- what would Katie''s position be in this house?
13319I must know more of this--[_Pauses abruptly._] Think, William, who came to the house?
13319I must n''t cry... others have troubles, too, have n''t they?
13319I''ll be back in the morning.... Wo n''t you... see me to the door?
13319I''m finished?
13319I''ve virtually given up my business for him, and what have I got out of it?
13319I-- suppose it_ is_ a little too late, is n''t it?...
13319I?
13319If my voice can be heard from San Francisco over the telephone, why can not a soul with a God- given force behind it dart over the entire universe?
13319If not, who had the picture?...
13319If she''s happy, why should I care?
13319If the rest of them only knew what they''re missing, eh?
13319If you can not make your presence known to me-- I know there are great difficulties-- will you try and send your message by William?
13319Is Hicks willing to make it worth while?
13319Is Thomas Edison greater than God?
13319Is it for this you hauled us out in the rain, Frederik?
13319Is it healthy-- that''s the idea-- is it healthy?
13319Is it... Peter?
13319Is n''t it curious... to hear your name and turn and...[_ Unconsciously, she looks in_ PETER''S_ face._] no one there?
13319Is n''t it here in the home?...
13319Is n''t my message any clearer to you?
13319Is n''t the news splendid?
13319Is that all?
13319Is that clear?
13319Is that so?
13319Is there anything you need to- day, Katie?
13319Is there no one in this house to hear me?
13319Is there no second chance in this world?
13319Is_ that_ what he left to_ Henry_?
13319It did?...
13319It popped out; did n''t it, William?
13319It sounds so respectable and sane, does n''t it?
13319It would be-- er-- unusual to do it now, would n''t it?
13319It''s all guess work, eh, Fritz?
13319James Hartman?
13319James, do you know how I happened to meet Katie?
13319James, it has just occurred to me-- that--[_James pauses._] What was your reason for wanting to give up your position?
13319James?
13319James?
13319Letter?...
13319May I go with you?
13319May I have a drink of his plum brandy, Frederik?
13319Mine?
13319Mr. Frederik, where''s_ old_ Mr. Grimm?
13319My hat?
13319My home?
13319Need you go right away-- Mr. Grimm?
13319Never have, eh?
13319Never since?
13319No letter?
13319No one?
13319No?
13319No?
13319No?...
13319No?...
13319Nothing remarkable in_ that_, is there?
13319Now?
13319Of course I do, and why not?
13319Of course, she does; and why not, why not, dear friend?
13319Or why did n''t he_ continue_ his work?
13319Or, still worse-- to succeed-- to be famous?
13319Pastor?
13319Pastor?
13319Perhaps you think the camera was hypnotized?
13319Peter Grimm''s gardens?
13319Peter, have you provided for everybody in this house?
13319Really?
13319Said to you, eh?
13319Said to you?
13319See it?
13319Sell out?
13319Sell out?
13319Settle your worldly affairs?
13319So this is the end of Peter''s great work?
13319So you want to go downstairs, eh?
13319Something new, eh?
13319Supposing you do find her and learn that it''s all true: what do you prove?
13319Swallowed up?
13319Tell me, William-- you heard the Doctor say that?
13319Than I_ was_?
13319That little tattler?
13319That you do n''t love him?
13319The junk, you mean?
13319The lovers are in the shadow, but_ PETER''S_ figure is marked and clear._] Why did you go away?
13319The old man''s aging; do you notice it?
13319The persistent personal energy must continue, or what_ is_ God?
13319The question_ every man wants the answer to_: what''s to become of me--_me_--_my work_?
13319Then how''d that picture get into the house?
13319Then it all comes to this: are you going to live up to your promise?
13319Then why tell me?
13319There are kisses tangled in her hair where it curls... hundreds of them.... Are you going to let her go?
13319There... you caught that.... Why ca n''t you take my message to Catherine?
13319They laugh at my hat?
13319Think before you speak, my boy; what did Mr. Grimm say to you?
13319This is better than"Puss in Boots,"is n''t it, Katie?
13319To wear a heavy laurel wreath?
13319To whom does this picture belong?"
13319To- morrow?
13319Was Frederik the man that came to see Annamarie?
13319Was William present?
13319Was he?
13319Was it Frederik Grimm?
13319Was n''t it nice where you were?
13319Was there ever a girl who did n''t cry?...
13319We must show her to everybody in the house, so that everybody will say:"How in the world did she ever get here?
13319We''ll print it, eh, Fritz?
13319We''re all about you.... Look at the gardens: they''ve died, have n''t they?
13319Well?
13319Were n''t you too small?
13319Were you speaking of-- of ghosts, Doctor?
13319What I really wish to consult you about is this: should n''t the card we''re going to send out have a narrow black border?
13319What I wish to ask is this: would you have any objection to the name of Mrs. Batholommey being used as a witness?
13319What are you doing here?
13319What are you doing?
13319What are you talking about, William?
13319What chance has the beginner compared with a fellow who knew his business before he was born?
13319What chance have I had to answer?
13319What claim has he on you-- on any of us?
13319What could he say?
13319What do you intend to do?
13319What do you know?
13319What do you mean, Doctor?
13319What do you mean, Uncle Peter?
13319What do you mean?
13319What has he been saying to you?
13319What is it, after all?
13319What is it?
13319What is it?
13319What made you think someone called you?
13319What makes you say that?
13319What makes you think he was delirious?
13319What man made Annamarie cry?
13319What man?
13319What more can a fellow do to earn his money?
13319What occurred the last time you saw her?
13319What of to- morrow?
13319What question?
13319What should I know of her?
13319What''s that?
13319What''s the matter?
13319What, William?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?...
13319What?...
13319What_ will_ become of William?
13319When I''m a little old leaf ready to curl up, eh, Fritz?
13319When a bachelor wants to order a three- rib roast, who''s to eat it?
13319When did you last see Annamarie?
13319When, William?
13319Where are you going?
13319Where are you?
13319Where do you get these extraordinary ideas?
13319Where''s Uncle?
13319Where''s the bosom of Abraham, Mr. Grimm?
13319Where''s your mother, William?
13319Where?
13319Where?
13319Who can tell?
13319Who could resist her smiles?
13319Who gets up at dawn to eat breakfast with me?
13319Who is arranging the marriage, you or I?
13319Who knocked?
13319Who opened the door?
13319Who puts flowers on my desk every day?
13319Who sees that I have my second cup of coffee?
13319Who tore it up?
13319Who was he?
13319Who''s got to die?
13319Who''s in this room?
13319Who?
13319Who_ was_ the other one?
13319Whose business is it?
13319Why I quarrelled with your uncle?
13319Why are you unhappy, Mr. Grimm?
13319Why ca n''t a telegram travel on a fence instead of on a wire?
13319Why did you ask it?
13319Why did you come back, Mr. Grimm?
13319Why did you do it?
13319Why did you lie to me?
13319Why did you tell Marta that you''d had no message-- no news?
13319Why did you tell me that you''d never seen her since she went away?
13319Why do n''t you have more light?
13319Why do n''t you tell the name, William?
13319Why do you ask me?
13319Why do you dislike him, Frederik?
13319Why do you dislike him?
13319Why do you hate that child?
13319Why do you want to stay in this old cottage-- with its candles and lamps and shadows?
13319Why do you wish to ship me off to Florida?
13319Why does he always look towards that door?
13319Why have n''t you told Frederik the truth?
13319Why is he unhappy?...
13319Why not?
13319Why not?
13319Why not?
13319Why not?
13319Why not?
13319Why not_ now_?
13319Why sell?
13319Why should you carry out your uncle''s plans?
13319Why should you worry over William?
13319Why?
13319Will nobody hear me?
13319Will you have a glass of my plum brandy?
13319Will you?...
13319William, I want you to try to understand that you''re to help me, will you?
13319William, do you think you could deliver a message for me... a very important message?...
13319William, what makes you think that Mr. Grimm is in this room?
13319William?
13319With that sick child?
13319Wo n''t you try and take it for me, eh?
13319Would n''t you like a cup, Doctor?
13319Would you mind handing me that telegram?
13319Would you sell your great, great grandfather?
13319Yes, Andrew?...
13319Yes, yes....[_ Listens at the''phone._] The dear old man told you his plans never failed, eh?
13319Yes, you_ did_ promise Uncle Peter you''d marry me, did n''t you?
13319Yes?
13319Yes?
13319Yes?
13319Yes?
13319Yes?
13319You ask me why?
13319You ca n''t call Sir Charles Crookes, the inventor of Crookes Tubes,--a waster?
13319You do n''t feel well, you say?
13319You feel what I am saying.... You could n''t live without her, could you?
13319You heard the Doctor say that?
13319You mean that I-- You mean that I might... die?
13319You mean that-- you-- you love her?
13319You really do believe, Doctor, that the dead can come back, do n''t you?
13319You remember many things, William... things that happened when you lived with Annamarie, do n''t you?
13319You simply must live where things grow, must n''t you, James?
13319You think so, my boy?
13319You''ll be glad to see me, dear, wo n''t you?
13319You''re a terrible man for planning, Peter; but what have you done?
13319You''re looking me in the face, Andrew; can you see me?
13319You''re not afraid now, William?
13319You''re thinking of it, are n''t you?
13319You''re very contented here with me, are you not?
13319You''ve noticed it, too?
13319You, too?
13319Your uncle?
13319[ FREDERIK,_ amused, listens in silence._] What should I be now-- a rough old fellow-- a bachelor-- without youth in my house, eh?
13319[ FREDERIK_ gives_ PETER_ a glance as though to say,"Now, do you believe it?
13319[ FREDERIK_ is silent._] What are you going to do for William?
13319[ JAMES_ politely thanks him, but does n''t take one._] It''s a pleasure to talk to some one who''s interested; and you_ are_ interested, James?
13319[ MARTA_ re- enters from_ WILLIAM''S_ room and closing the door comes down the stairs and passes off._] What_ are_ we to do with that child?
13319[ PETER_ eyes him-- a faint smile on his lips._] If I got my price?
13319[ WILLIAM_ has taken another piece of cake which he nibbles at-- now holding a piece in each hand._] Pretty substantial dream, eh?
13319[ WILLIAM_ lays down the cake and, clasping his hands, thinks._ PETER_ answers his thoughts._] What?
13319[ WILLIAM_ nods assent._]_ Old_ Mr. Grimm?
13319[ WILLIAM_ nods._] Sure of that, William?
13319[_ A rap sounds._] Who will that be at this hour?...
13319[_ After a long pause._] Is it settled, sir?
13319[_ After a shorter pause._] Is n''t she very young to marry, sir?
13319[_ Alone._]"What shall the wedding breakfast be?
13319[_ Aloud._] James, will you have dinner with us to- day?
13319[_ Amazed._] Selling out?
13319[_ Amused._] Why, James, what do you know about girls?
13319[_ As though he recognizes the unseen guests._] I''ve been gone so long that you came for me, eh?
13319[_ Astonished._] Sell?
13319[_ At the''phone._] How are you, my old friend?...
13319[_ Changing suddenly._] James: why do n''t you try to please Uncle Peter Grimm?
13319[_ Covering the letter with his hand._] From whom?...
13319[_ Echoing the_ DOCTOR''S_ words._] A sensitive?
13319[_ Echoing._] Do I propose to live that long?
13319[_ Echoing_ HICKS''_ words._] What would he say if he knew?
13319[_ Enraged, raising his voice._] What?
13319[_ Entering with a lamp._] Did someone call me?
13319[_ Entering._] Did you wish to see me?
13319[_ Enters-- evidently highly wrought up by the events of the evening._] Who was that?
13319[_ For the first time fully realizing the situation._] Oh, must we stand or fall by the mistakes we made here and the deed we did?
13319[_ Gives_ WILLIAM_ some pennies as he goes._] How he shoots up, eh, Marta?
13319[_ Good- naturedly._] James?
13319[_ Gruffly._] Why are n''t you in bed?
13319[_ Her curiosity aroused._] What is it, Uncle?...
13319[_ Hesitates._] What do you mean?
13319[_ Hesitating._] Are you certain?
13319[_ Ignoring her._] What did you tell Mr. Grimm when he asked you?
13319[_ In a low voice._] Where''s Catherine?
13319[_ Interested._] Yes?
13319[_ Jots down a couple of notes._] Did you ever have this impulse before-- to give up Catherine-- to let her have the cottage?
13319[_ Laughing._] Ah, Uncle Peter, have I made you take a liking to all the rest of the ladies?
13319[_ Lightly._] Yes, yes, yes, let others take my work.... Why should_ we_ care?
13319[_ Listens._] Bad, eh?
13319[_ Listens._] To- night?
13319[_ Listens._] You''ll come to- night?...
13319[_ Looking towards the door of the office._] Did Hartman come?
13319[_ Looks about uneasily, then glances towards the door leading into the hall._] Who is at the door?
13319[_ Losing his temper._] What do you mean?
13319[_ Nobody enters._] Where''s a light?
13319[_ Not understanding the last word-- puzzled._] Eh?
13319[_ Not understanding._] But what could Peter have to say to_ me_ concerning Annamarie?
13319[_ Noticing an old gold- headed walking- stick in the hall._] Oh, er-- what are you going to do with all the old man''s family relics, Frederik?
13319[_ Opening the door._] Yes?
13319[_ Picks up the receiver._] Hello?...
13319[_ Pointing to a glass of water on a tray._] Can I have a drink of water, please?
13319[_ Pooh- poohing._] Crying?
13319[_ Prints a kiss on her cheek._] Ca n''t you think I''m with you, dear child?
13319[_ Puts his hand on_ PETER''S_ hand, which is still on his head._] But where''s your hand?
13319[_ Putting his hand on_ WILLIAM''S_ head._] Now?...
13319[_ Puzzled-- awed-- his voice almost dropping to a whisper._] How do you account for it, Doctor?
13319[_ Questioningly-- dazed._] Dead?
13319[_ Raises his hand for silence._] How did he look, William?
13319[_ Recovering._] What''d he leave me?
13319[_ Rising quickly._] Yes, Mr. Grimm?
13319[_ Rising to get his shawl-- gruffly._] Thought over what I told you concerning this marriage?
13319[_ Seeing_ FREDERIK_ lay down the paper and rise._] Is that all?
13319[_ She notices the lamp._] The night lamp for William?
13319[_ Signing the letter._] Happy?
13319[_ Slaps_ FREDERIK_ on the back._] You''re satisfied now, I hope?
13319[_ Snapping his fingers._] What was the last offer the old man refused from Hicks, of Rochester, Jim?
13319[_ Sticking her head in the door._] Ready for coffee?
13319[_ Still dazed._] A prayer- book.... Me?
13319[_ Suddenly changing-- dazed._] His prayer- book... me?
13319[_ Suddenly noticing that_ CATHERINE_ seems more cheerful._] What''s happened?
13319[_ Surprised._] Eh?
13319[_ Surprised._] What?
13319[_ Suspiciously._] Has Hartman been talking to you?
13319[_ Taking her hand, drawing her towards the table with a change of manner._] Have you seen all the wedding presents, Kitty?
13319[_ Taking the boy on his knee._] What makes you think Peter Grimm is in this room?
13319[_ Taking the letter._] Prescribed?
13319[_ The_ DOCTOR_ turns, facing_ PETER,_ looking directly at him as he puts his hand in his coat pocket._] You heard that, eh?...
13319[_ Then changing._] Is it-- er-- a good offer?
13319[_ To himself._] What in the world is the matter with me to- night?
13319[_ Very low, as though afraid to interrupt_ WILLIAM''S_ train of thought._] What other?
13319[_ Who has been looking down at the letter-- suddenly feeling_ PETER''S_ presence._] Who''s that?
13319[_ Who has entered, saying carelessly to_ JAMES_ as he passes him._] Hy''re you, Jim?
13319[_ With suppressed excitement-- half to herself._] Why are you afraid of him?
13319[_ Without looking up, his hands folded in his lap._] Take me back with you, Mr. Grimm?
13319_ Can_ it be true?
13319_ Our_ gardens?
13319_ in a satisfied way, brushes the crumbs off his lap, and sits back in his chair._] Have you had enough?
13319whatever put this notion into your head?
37857''Honesty is the best policy,''is it?
37857A detective? 37857 A panther?"
37857A waterspout?
37857And I ca n''t be of any use to you there?
37857And come back the same day?
37857And did n''t they see the ghosts at all?
37857And do you see those valises in the rack directly in front him? 37857 And do you wish me to take charge of the rental of your blocks of buildings?"
37857And go out there and take possession of that property while there is another man waiting for it?
37857And he does n''t come forward to claim his money? 37857 And how about your friend, here, John Sheldon?"
37857And is the gold as thick as they say it is-- so thick that one can pick it up with his hands?
37857And shall you keep still about this?
37857And there was not a sign of gold about it?
37857And what will we do if somebody else is working it?
37857And what will_ you_ do?
37857And what would I be doing in the meantime?
37857And which of you boys was it who bid on the''old horse?''
37857And you are willing to give me half the contents of that box if I will get it for you?
37857And you lacked only two feet of being rich?
37857And you want the twenty thousand dollars changed, so that it will be subject to their order?
37857And you?
37857Are the boys plumb crazy? 37857 Are the ghosts so awful thick up there?"
37857Are we not going to eat at all?
37857Are you all fast there?
37857Are you discharged, Julian?
37857Are you fellows decided on that matter yet?
37857Are you going down to- day?
37857Are you going to see Mr. Wiggins about it?
37857Are you going to stay here this winter?
37857Are you not deciding on this matter suddenly?
37857Are you still sorry that I bid on that''old horse?''
37857Are you sure it is gold in here, and not something else?
37857Are you sure the mine is up here?
37857Are you sure this key will open his door?
37857But how are you going to steal their valises, if they have any?
37857But if it goes under a cloud-- then what?
37857But if that is the case, why did they not jump him on the way here? 37857 But if you ca n''t mingle with them as you did then, how are you going to find out about the haunted mine?"
37857But suppose they see me?
37857By George, Jack,said Julian, when he went home that night,"did I not tell you that that box was ours?
37857By the way, whose name shall I sign to it-- yours or mine?
37857Ca n''t we turn them loose?
37857Can we get anything to eat along here?
37857Can we help you a little?
37857Can you tell when I did it?
37857Claus, where are you going? 37857 Could n''t we tie them up?"
37857Could not the sound they heard have been occasioned by bats that had been disturbed while trying to take a rest?
37857Did anybody think a murder had been committed somewhere around there?
37857Did n''t I tell you that if anybody came in here to look for that box while we were not here it would be Casper Nevins, and nobody else?
37857Did n''t you see the trail we made in coming down?
37857Did n''t you tell the men what we had done and all about the dust we had?
37857Did not the lawyer say that he did not look for that? 37857 Did the boys get ten thousand dollars in two weeks?"
37857Did the man find anything of value in your valises?
37857Did they-- did they see the ghosts?
37857Did those men see anything?
37857Did you agree to hunt up this man Haberstro?
37857Did you drop your roll down at Denver and come back to get more?
37857Did you find many outlaws in this country when you first came here?
37857Did you get our dust?
37857Did you not care for your mother when she was sick?
37857Did you not claim to be our uncle?
37857Did you not nurse him while he was sick?
37857Did you say anything to Mr. Wiggins about it?
37857Did you say anything to the man about our claim up there?
37857Did you see them go?
37857Did you see them?
37857Did you shoot them?
37857Did you tell Mr. Wiggins about the way Casper acted?
37857Disappointed over not finding that wealth, were you?
37857Do I speak to Mr. Wiggins? 37857 Do n''t you see them hung up there, in plain sight?"
37857Do n''t you suppose we know all that? 37857 Do n''t you wish you had not promised to go up there?"
37857Do you believe you can buy another like it?
37857Do you intend to make another effort to get the money?
37857Do you know of a man of the name of Winkleman?
37857Do you know that I have been thinking of something? 37857 Do you know that I looked upon it as gone when he first came here and handed out his card?"
37857Do you know that I rather like that man? 37857 Do you know where it is?"
37857Do you know where that man lives?
37857Do you know, I have been on the watch for them fellows to get into a squabble of some kind before we saw the last of them?
37857Do you mean that all comes to us?
37857Do you mean the haunted mine?
37857Do you never get tired of this business?
37857Do you really think so?
37857Do you remember a telegraph boy who was in here several months ago and bought a combination lock to fit his door?
37857Do you remember how the key looked?
37857Do you see that red- faced man sitting on the right- hand side?
37857Do you see the rest of the papers there in that box? 37857 Do you suppose we will take any man''s word for that?
37857Do you think I am afraid?
37857Do you think of any questions you would like to ask us?
37857Do you think their ears could be deceived, as well as their eyes?
37857Do you think they can whip all these men?
37857Do you think we tried every plan to get it?
37857Do you think you could recognize me if you should chance to meet me again anywhere?
37857Do you want this watch?
37857Do you want to see me?
37857Does he know about the box?
37857Does he want us to work that mine or not?
37857Does the noise of the bell frighten the game?
37857Does you want to see somebody on dis train?
37857Does your dirt pan out any better than it did last summer?
37857Eh? 37857 Eh?
37857Eh? 37857 Everybody kept still about the haunted mine, I suppose?"
37857Everything?
37857Go on-- what next?
37857Grub- stake us?
37857Grumbling again, are you?
37857Had you not better stay with us here on the Flat? 37857 Has Casper got many friends among the boys of your office?"
37857Has that Dutchman been around here?
37857Have a cigar? 37857 Have any of the boys made their pile?"
37857Have n''t I carried my telegraphic dispatches in as little time as anybody? 37857 Have you a cigar handy?"
37857Have you a cigar?
37857Have you a compass with you?
37857Have you advertised for that man of yours yet?
37857Have you anybody on a string that you are trying to make some money out of?
37857Have you forgotten our mine?
37857Have you given it up, too?
37857Have you got something better on hand?
37857Have you had any breakfast?
37857Have you jotted down the street and number?
37857Have you money with which to get breakfast to- morrow?
37857Have you young fellows any money?
37857He had n''t?
37857He stole it, did n''t he? 37857 Here are a couple of tenderfeet, come away out West from-- where did you come from?"
37857How am I going to get back to the city without money?
37857How are you going to do that?
37857How are you going to get your own luggage down?
37857How do you account for that man in the mine up the country who always gets farther and farther away every time anybody tries to touch him?
37857How do you account for that?
37857How do you feel this morning?
37857How do you know that I belong in the States?
37857How do you know that?
37857How far are they away from here?
37857How far do_ you_ say it is, John?
37857How far off are those peaks from here?
37857How have you boys been, out here, so far away from home? 37857 How in the world did you get the mules and horses up there?"
37857How is the brokerage business to- day? 37857 How is this, Casper?"
37857How long before you will be paid?
37857How long did you have to stay there?
37857How much do you call enough?
37857How much have you?
37857How much will you charge me? 37857 I do n''t know how to go to work at it-- do you?"
37857I do n''t know what he has been doing,said the boy;"do you?"
37857I do n''t know whether the express clerks will want us to identify ourselves before they give us that box, but if they do-- then what?
37857I tell you, he is big enough to scare anybody-- is he not?
37857I think I would do this up and send it by express-- wouldn''t you?
37857I wonder how they got that mine, in the first place?
37857I wonder if I shall be the way he is?
37857I wonder if it was Claus?
37857I wonder if that is the way all Westerners talk? 37857 I wonder if there is any gold up there?"
37857I wonder if there was a detective in there while I was at the office? 37857 I wonder what the poor fellow will do now?"
37857I wonder what those men were thinking of when they started that story about this mine being haunted?
37857If he sets the police onto me-- good gracious, what should I do? 37857 If he should ask us some questions that we could not answer-- then what?"
37857If our grub stops, where are we going to get more?
37857If they thought so much of the box, why did n''t they buy it in the first place?
37857If, after waiting a few days, we do n''t hear from Mr. Haberstro or any of his kin, suppose I go to Mr. Wiggins with it? 37857 In America?"
37857Is Mr. Fay in?
37857Is a hundred thousand dollars such a sum in your eyes that you can afford to be merry over it?
37857Is it as far as that?
37857Is it gold or not?
37857Is it the ghosts you are looking for?
37857Is that all you have to tell?
37857Is that any way for you to save your money?
37857Is the boss mechanic anywhere about?
37857Is there anything you do n''t stand in fear of out here? 37857 Is this our car?"
37857Is this the Western Union Telegraph office?
37857It is not iron pyrites, is it?
37857It looks dark down there, does it not?
37857It would not be of any use for me to ask for a letter of recommendation, would it?
37857Jack often found fault with me for going to that office, but I struck it once,--didn''t I?
37857Jack, did you fall out of the bucket?
37857Jack, what do you mean?
37857Jack, why do n''t you say something?
37857Jack,said Julian, turning to his companion,"are you sorry, now, that I went to the express office and invested in that''old horse''?"
37857Julian, have you some news about that box?
37857Know him?
37857No horses? 37857 No, sir,"replied Julian;"we could hardly go out there and come back in a week-- could we?"
37857Now the next question is, are the papers all here?
37857Now, Julian, are you sure you can hold me up?
37857Now, boys, is there anything we can do for you before we bid you good- bye?
37857Now, the question is, does the mine pay anything?
37857Now, what are you going to say to him?
37857Now, where is that other sound you heard?
37857Now, whom have you to prove that you bought this''old horse''at the express office?
37857Oh, boys, you surely have n''t made up your minds to go up to that mine next spring, have you?
37857Oh, you want to know something about it, now, do n''t you?
37857Pete, what do you think of that?
37857Say, Jack, there''s more houses than wigwams here, is there not?
37857Say, Julian,remarked Jack, as they stood by the stream washing their hands and faces,"why do n''t Banta talk to us the way he usually does?
37857Say, Pete, what do you think of that?
37857Shake hands with your uncle, why do n''t you?
37857Shall I take charge of it for you? 37857 So you did n''t want that fellow to claim relationship with you?"
37857That is just what I was afraid of,said Julian;"but I reckon iron pyrites comes in lumps, do n''t it?
37857That man?
37857That red- faced man kept his eyes on us, did n''t he? 37857 That was a pretty way to do business, was n''t it?"
37857That will keep you going, wo n''t it?
37857The boss mechanic?
37857The gold- mine and all?
37857Them mountains?
37857Then the mine is deserted?
37857Then we have purchased everything we want, have we?
37857Then what made you go there in the first place?
37857Then why did he not say something about it? 37857 Then you ca n''t get it for me?"
37857Then you have never been down in it?
37857Then, would it not be worth while for you to write to some of your friends there and get some letters of recommendation? 37857 There were two lions there-- how did you get the other one?"
37857There; how will that do?
37857These are ours, ai n''t they?
37857They did not get a foothold here, did they?
37857They have? 37857 Those are the ones, are they not?"
37857To me?
37857Well, Claus, you slipped up on one thing,said Julian;"you did n''t get any of that block of buildings-- did you?"
37857Well, I could n''t help it-- could I? 37857 Well, I want to go up there, and who can I get to act as my guide?"
37857Well, Jack,said Julian, as he buttoned his coat,"what do you think of our mine?
37857Well, boys, are you going to leave us?
37857Well, partner, how do you come on?
37857Well, sir, what do you think of that?
37857Well, sir, what do you think of that?
37857Well, sir, what do you think of that?
37857Well, sir, what do you think of that?
37857Well, sir, what do you think of that?
37857Well, sir, you have done it, have you not?
37857Well, sir, you saw them, did you not?
37857Well, suppose we do; what will we raise them on? 37857 Well, what about the men?"
37857Well, what did you hear this time?
37857Well, where is the money to come from?
37857Well, why do n''t you go on with it?
37857Well, why do n''t you pick up some money and go in yourself? 37857 Well, you have been to that old express office again and invested some of your hard earnings in''old horse,''have n''t you?"
37857Well, you have found a place, have you?
37857Well?
37857Were the boys all right?
37857Were they animals?
37857Were you in earnest the other day when you said that if you had a chance to steal a hundred thousand dollars you would try it on?
37857What a- doing?
37857What about him?
37857What about the box?
37857What about the ghosts?
37857What am I going to do now?
37857What are these?
37857What are you going to do with us?
37857What did I tell you?
37857What did he want to go after?
37857What did he want to know that for? 37857 What did it sound like?"
37857What did they see?
37857What did you men do here last summer?
37857What do you call that?
37857What do you care for spies?
37857What do you know about Casper?
37857What do you mean by applying that name to me?
37857What do you mean by that pantomime?
37857What do you mean by that? 37857 What do you mean by that?"
37857What do you suppose it was that those fellows saw in that mine?
37857What do you think of that, Pete?
37857What do you think of that?
37857What do you think of that?
37857What do you think of the situation now?
37857What do you want to know for?
37857What do you want to study?
37857What else can I do? 37857 What else could we do?"
37857What good will a revolver do you?
37857What good will it do him to go on to Denver? 37857 What have these young men been doing?"
37857What have you in this pack?
37857What if you should chance to miss your way?
37857What is in it?
37857What is it, Julian?
37857What is it? 37857 What is it?"
37857What is that?
37857What is the matter with those fellows?
37857What is the matter with you, any way?
37857What is the use of hiding it?
37857What is up there, anyway?
37857What kind of a looking man was he? 37857 What lawyer, and where has he been?"
37857What made you do that, Jack?
37857What made you let them go there, if you knew the mine was haunted?
37857What made you say police at all? 37857 What made you think of that?"
37857What must I do that for?
37857What sort of a looking man was he?
37857What sort of relationship do you bear to the two boys?
37857What thing?
37857What was he going to do when he got there?
37857What was that?
37857What will we do?
37857What would you do if somebody should catch you along the trail, somewhere? 37857 What''s that?"
37857What''s the matter?
37857What''s the news to- day? 37857 What''s the news?"
37857What''s the reason you do n''t?
37857What''s the use of fooling away your time with that stuff?
37857When do you start?
37857Where are those bags?
37857Where are you going?
37857Where are you going?
37857Where are you stopping?
37857Where did he want to go?
37857Where does he stay, principally?
37857Where is it you are going?
37857Where is that ten dollars you got out of the telegraph office when your time was up?
37857Where were you when this man Winkleman was sick? 37857 Where''s your home?"
37857Where''s your valise?
37857Where_ is_ your mine?
37857Which one of you boys is Julian Gray?
37857Which one of you is Julian Gray?
37857Which way did the noise come from?
37857Who are they?
37857Who do you suppose are haunting it?
37857Who do you suppose is going to steal it?
37857Who do you think is going to rob us?
37857Who do you think it was?
37857Who said anything about shooting a man?
37857Who shot those two men?
37857Who was that man who just went out?
37857Who will you go to?
37857Who''s Haberstro?
37857Who-- me? 37857 Why are you so anxious to find out about where we are going?"
37857Why ca n''t you let it go until to- morrow?
37857Why ca n''t you let us go now?
37857Why did I not dig out the moment I got that box? 37857 Why did n''t they think to look in my shoe?
37857Why do n''t they go back farther and start another?
37857Why do n''t you open it, and let us see what is in it?
37857Why do you take the bell off when you want to go hunting with the mare?
37857Why, Claus, you are not going in there?
37857Why, the box is your own, ai n''t it?
37857Why, the box was sold to you, was it not?
37857Why, will we have to fight for it?
37857Wiggins?
37857Will it last you two weeks?
37857Will you go down into the mine when you get there?
37857Would not fifty thousand do you?
37857Would you?
37857You are a tenderfoot, ai n''t you?
37857You are going to lay in a supply of things yourselves, I suppose?
37857You are here yet, are you, Banta?
37857You are in a fix, are n''t you?
37857You are not going out there to- day, are you?
37857You are on hand, like a bad five- dollar bill-- ain''t you? 37857 You are sure you have n''t got any about your clothes?
37857You are the one? 37857 You are?
37857You can spend all that money yourselves, can you? 37857 You did not expect to get it-- did you?"
37857You do n''t believe everything he said, do you?
37857You do n''t mind if I go and work my old claim, do you? 37857 You do n''t think of working there, do you?"
37857You do n''t want anything?
37857You do n''t?
37857You got it, did n''t you?
37857You have n''t got another ten cents, have you? 37857 You have?
37857You have?
37857You hope so, too-- don''t you, Jack?
37857You know something about it-- don''t you? 37857 You know that haunted mine, do n''t you?"
37857You know which way is east, do n''t you? 37857 You meant to catch them, did you?
37857You were so busy with your own thoughts that you did n''t see how I was pumping him, did you? 37857 You will be around here before you go?"
37857You will hear scurrying of feet-- What was that?
37857You will tell me once for all-- what?
37857You wo n''t think it hard of me if I hit him a time or two?
37857You''ll let us go before that comes off?
37857You''ve been into my room when I was not there? 37857 Your''three times and out''did not amount to anything-- did it?"
37857( This was a miner''s way of asking"Who''s dead?")
378578 Station and ask the police to send a man up there and search him?"
37857Ai n''t that so, boys?"
37857And another thing-- do I have to pay you for waiting until spring?"
37857And he could have seen them if he had a light, could he not?"
37857And what should he say when he got home?
37857And where were Julian and Jack all this while?
37857Are you going already?
37857Are you not going to put on another shirt?"
37857Are you thinking of going out to Dutch Flat to try your hand at it?
37857Banta?"
37857Banta?"
37857But first, ca n''t I get that box for my own?
37857But if you are going to hire us-- you will be gone three or four months, wo n''t you?"
37857But what is the matter with you?"
37857But what shall I do when I get back to St. Louis?
37857But what were you going to say?"
37857But why was it that Casper got so mad, and threw his cigar spitefully down upon the pavement?
37857But you''ll remember that I did n''t say a word about it-- won''t you?"
37857But, in the first place, where are your revolvers?"
37857Can you boys find the way back to your hotel?"
37857Can you do it?"
37857Did Mr. Wiggins suppose that he was going to spend all his month''s wages in two days?
37857Did anybody ever hear of a fool notion like that?
37857Did he get back to St. Louis in safety?
37857Did he scare you out of going up there to that mine?"
37857Did it ever occur to you that some of those people who saw me buy the box at the express office would come up here to take it?"
37857Did n''t I pay thirty cents of my hard earnings for it?"
37857Did you have a fair chance at his heart?"
37857Did you see him?"
37857Did you see how neatly all those students were dressed?
37857Did you see the boys?"
37857Did you?"
37857Do I hear any more?
37857Do n''t it you, Pete?"
37857Do n''t you give that box up; do you hear me?"
37857Do n''t you hear it?"
37857Do n''t you see his face?
37857Do n''t you see the slips in our caps?"
37857Do you gather much of this stuff?"
37857Do you know what sort of a key he has to fit his door?"
37857Do you know where Salisbury''s hotel is?"
37857Do you mean that he will come down on us while we are up at the mine?"
37857Do you recognize these pictures?"
37857Do you think it is ours sure enough?"
37857Do you want to invest some property in a gold- mine?"
37857Do you want to see me?
37857Do you wish me to take charge of it for you?"
37857Does Casper Nevins know all about it?"
37857Does Casper know all about it?"
37857Does this look like your hotel?
37857Go on-- how did they treat you?"
37857Had they given up all hopes of gaining possession of that hundred thousand dollars?
37857Has you got a ticket?"
37857Have you any money?"
37857Have you any money?"
37857Have you anybody here in St. Louis to whom you can recommend us?
37857Have you been anywhere near this mine that we are going to work?"
37857Have you been out to look at your gold- mine?"
37857Have you got all the blood off?
37857Have you made any money?"
37857Have you made yourself rich by washing out the last bucket of earth I sent up?"
37857Have you the property all in your hands?"
37857He has not any closet in his room that I know of, and who knows but that he may have put that box in his trunk?
37857He is bound to have that box, is he not?
37857He stopped in front of the door, and called out to somebody he left below,"Does Mr. Julian Gray live here?
37857He talked pretty readily, did he not?"
37857He-- he is n''t dead, is he?"
37857How do you know?"
37857How high is that city above the sea- level?"
37857How is he going to get the property, then?"
37857How much money have you got in bank, anyway?"
37857How, then, did Claus know anything about it?
37857I got it, too----""You did?
37857I guess the_ Republican_ is as good a paper as any, is n''t it?"
37857I guess you are a tenderfoot-- ain''t you?"
37857I remember that several years ago I was waiting for a partner of mine who had gone away to prospect a mine----""What was that?"
37857I shall need a cigar once in a while, wo n''t I?"
37857I suppose you have plenty of friends here to whom you can refer?"
37857I tell you once for all----""Well, why do n''t you go on?"
37857I tell you that bangs me; do n''t it you, Pete?"
37857I wonder how they felt when they found their valises gone?
37857I wonder if we are ever going to see the last of that man?"
37857I''ve got one for you, Jack, from your boss; what do you call him?"
37857If I killed him at once, how did he come to jump so far?
37857If he charged that way for advising a man to keep out of law, what price would he demand for taking care of one hundred thousand dollars?
37857If they had seen what made the noise, they would have been apt to shoot-- wouldn''t they?"
37857If they wanted the box, why did they not buy it in the first place?"
37857If they were worth anything do n''t you suppose that the people to whom they were addressed would have come after them?
37857If we make a few holes in the skins by a slip of our knives, who cares?"
37857If you think this Mr----what do you call him?"
37857Is there any money in this thing you have to propose?"
37857Is there much more of that lead down there?"
37857Is this all you have made since you have been here?"
37857Is this all you have to ease a man''s appetite?
37857It is pretty cold up there in the mountains-- is it not?"
37857Jack, is Claus your uncle?"
37857Julian boarded the train first, and led the way along to their seats; but where were the valises they left there when they went out to breakfast?
37857Louis?"
37857Mr. Fay had evidently answered such questions before, for all he said in reply was,"How far do you think it is?"
37857Mr. Fay listened, highly amused, and when Julian ceased speaking he said,"If you can see them, what''s the use of your being afraid?
37857Now who am I going to get to hide that box for me?
37857Now, I hope you fellows wo n''t object if I smoke a cigar?"
37857Now, Jack, what are we going to do this winter?
37857Now, Jack, when will we start?"
37857Now, do you know where the business college is situated?"
37857Now, he would not have used such an expression as that if he had been here in the city, would he?"
37857Now, how shall we go to work to get the valises open?
37857Now, what are you going to do with us?"
37857Now, what can I give you?"
37857Now, what did they do with their animals?
37857Now, what do you want me to do?"
37857Now, what is it?"
37857Now, what shall I go at next?"
37857Now, who have you told about it except Jack Sheldon?"
37857Now, why could n''t I have bid on that box?
37857Shall I go home, get my clothes, and spend the winter in Denver, or shall I go home and stay there?
37857Shall we go up and try it?
37857She listened in amazement, and then said:"Why, do you think you could write a book like that?"
37857That is fair, is n''t it?"
37857That proves others are there-- don''t it?"
37857The German watched him, as he opened the door, and said to himself,"I wonder if that fellow knows what I am up to?
37857The boy began by asking him,"Do you know the mine that Winkleman used to work when he was here?"
37857Then he asked,"How far is Dutch Flat from here?"
37857Then, perhaps you will tell me if you know anything about Dutch Flat, where there is--""Do n''t I know all about it?"
37857There are no Indians out there, are there?"
37857There was another thing that came into his mind every once in a while, and that was, where was his breakfast to come from?
37857There was one thing that often came into their minds, and that was, What had become of Claus and Casper Nevins?
37857They are a desperate lot; ai n''t they?"
37857They had caught the robbers, so their dust was safe; but what were they going to do with the culprits, now that they had captured them?
37857WHERE ARE THE VALISES?
37857WHERE ARE THE VALISES?
37857Was it work?
37857We have a perfect right to work that mine, have we not?"
37857We shall spend this before the winter is over, and how are we to get a hundred dollars to pay him?
37857We snapped him up quicker''n a flash, and what does that man do?
37857Well, did anybody follow you up to see what your name was?"
37857What are you boys going to do with this?"
37857What did Banta say the spirits looked like?"
37857What did I do that for?
37857What did I do?
37857What did he say to you?"
37857What did they do with them?"
37857What do you care what is in those bundles?
37857What do you suppose they intend to do with him?"
37857What had he done?"
37857What is it?"
37857What is the reason that you and I have not some good friends to leave us that amount of money?"
37857What is there to prevent some sharper from coming around and telling you that he is Haberstro?
37857What loon has been so foolish as to grub- stake you?"
37857What makes you think they would do anything else?"
37857What property did he collect out there?"
37857What sort of a looking man is he?"
37857What sort of a looking place was Denver?
37857What sort of a place did you expect to find Denver, anyway?"
37857What time is it?"
37857What was it?"
37857What was that?"
37857What will we do if this man Haberstro comes up, all on a sudden, and tells us he wants this hundred dollars?"
37857What''s the matter with you, Julian?
37857When do you start?"
37857When you can get the packages for little or nothing, where''s the harm?
37857Where are you going after you get the money?"
37857Where are you going when you get the money?
37857Where are your revolvers?"
37857Where did you put it?"
37857Where do you suppose that man Wiggins keeps the box?"
37857Where does he hang out?"
37857Where is it located?"
37857Where is it?"
37857Where is the box now?"
37857Where is the man who owns this house?"
37857Where was he going when he got the money?
37857Where''s the money?"
37857Who has passed in his checks since I have been gone?"
37857Who is that?
37857Who knows?"
37857Who was it?"
37857Who''s that coming upstairs, I wonder?"
37857Why did n''t I happen into that express office and bid on that box?
37857Why do n''t you grumble about that the way you did the last time we were here?"
37857Why do n''t you play with somebody else?"
37857Why do n''t you wish us good luck with that money we took from you?"
37857Why, Casper, do you know what will become of you if you do not mend your ways?
37857Wiggins?"
37857Wo n''t somebody give me some more?
37857Would you like to see him?"
37857You are bound to have some of that money, are you not?"
37857You boys do n''t know how to make a lean- to, do you?
37857You did n''t see those little errors, did you?"
37857You did n''t think of that, did you?"
37857You did not know what was in that box when you bought it, did you?"
37857You do n''t know anything about that, do you?
37857You do n''t know him, do you?"
37857You do n''t want to smoke more than two cigars every day, do you?"
37857You have a gold- mine, have you?"
37857You have money enough to pay for them, I suppose?"
37857You know where he hangs out-- don''t you?"
37857You know where that is?"
37857You know where they sat, do n''t you?"
37857You say he has not any friends on whom he can depend in the office?"
37857You struck it rich once in buying''old horse,''did n''t you?
37857You went up to the pool- room after you got through there?
37857You were out in the mines, I suppose?"
37857You''re lucky-- are you not?
37857Your name is Haberstro, I believe?"
37857boys,"he cried, taking down his feet and pushing chairs toward them;"you are here yet, are you?
37857exclaimed Mr. Banta, stopping his horse and addressing himself to his men;"did n''t I tell you those boys would come back all right?
37857he added, noting the expression that came upon Julian''s face,"you did n''t think of_ that_, did you?"
37857he added, sinking his voice almost to a whisper,"you have n''t said a word to anybody about advertising for him, have you?"
37857in?"
37857said the boy who had once accused him of being a spy,"you have come up with a round turn, have you?"
37857that he uttered every time he struck with his pick?"
2433''But frae that moment, think ye there was ony peace i''the hoose? 2433 Ah, but, do n''t you know?
2433Ah, why indeed?
2433Ah, why? 2433 Am I able to help others?
2433An''wha may he be?
2433An''what are we to think o''the man,he said,"at''s content no to un''erstan''what he was at the trible to say?
2433An''what for mak this room less?
2433An''what may that be ower the heid o''them?--A crest, ca''ye''t?
2433An''what may ye be pleast to ca''wark?
2433An''what micht ye think the probability gien they had come intil a lot o''siller whan their father dee''d?
2433An''ye''ll doobtless read the Greek like yer mither- tongue?
2433And after that?
2433And does he stop?
2433And here are thick walls, and hearts careless an timid!--Has any one ever set in earnest about finding it?
2433And is n''t God a man-- and ever so much more than a man?
2433And is not that what the God you believe in does every day?
2433And my poor Davie?
2433And ruin her, and perhaps me too, for life?
2433And shall I be allowed to carry up as much as I please?
2433And since then you have grown a man!--How many months has it taken?
2433And they became the children of another?
2433And which is she likely to take? 2433 And you do n''t want to see her?"
2433Angry because you love me?
2433Are n''t you glad to have such a castle all for your own-- to do what you like with, Arkie? 2433 Are there so many devils about me that an honest fellow ca n''t pray in my company?"
2433Are those the good things then that the Lord says the Father will give to those that ask him? 2433 Are we safe?"
2433Are ye gaein''to the kirk the day, Anerew?
2433Are ye winnin''ower''t, sir? 2433 Are you certain, Sophia,"rejoined Arctura,"that it is self- assurance, and not conviction that gives him his courage?"
2433Are you fond of my brother?
2433Are you quite sure of what you say?
2433Are you so sure we can?
2433Are you suffering much, my lady?
2433Are you sure of that? 2433 Are you sure,"suggested Donal,"that there was not a violin shut up with them?
2433Are you troubled in your mind on the subject?
2433Ashamed of giving me the chance of proving myself a true man?
2433Ay, what is''t? 2433 But are there not things he can not do for us till we believe in Christ?"
2433But could we love him with all our hearts if he were not altogether lovable?
2433But he is not infinite in all his attributes? 2433 But hoo mak ye a livin''that w''y?"
2433But how am I to put a force in operation, while I do not know whether I possess it or not?
2433But how can we love those who are nothing to us?
2433But how could there be an aeolian harp up here?
2433But how often have you gone up and down these walks at dead of night?
2433But how should sinners know what is or is not like the true God?
2433But if there be creatures of God that have turned to demons, may not human souls themselves turn to demons? 2433 But may she not suppose you love her?"
2433But might not that be his fault?
2433But might there not be something good for us to do that we were not told of?
2433But now you have the masons here, why not go on, and make a little search for the lost room?
2433But now, does she not take your words of love for more than they are worth?
2433But suppose I were to take that way?
2433But tell me, Mr. Grant-- how would you set about it?
2433But the thing is worth doing, is it not, even if we do not go so far as to pull down?
2433But then-- excuse me,said Donal,"--why shouldna ye haud yer face til''t, an''work openly, i''the name o''God?"
2433But there''s ae question I maun sattle afore I gang farther-- an''that''s this: am I to be less or mair nor I was afore? 2433 But what can you do with it?"
2433But what first?
2433But what if you are not sure that you do not agree with him?
2433But what then do you call the duties of property?
2433But why bother about his heid more than the rest of his bones?
2433But will there not be some preparations to make?
2433But would there be no objection to my using the place for such a purpose?
2433But ye''re no a shepherd the noo?
2433But you will, dearest?
2433But,said Arctura, in a deprecating tone,"are not those houses which have more influence more important than the others?"
2433But,said mistress Brookes,"beggin''yer pardon, sir, what ken ye as to what they think?
2433Can the darkness be a shield? 2433 Can you ride?"
2433Can you strike a light, and let me see you, Donal?
2433Can you tell me anything about the people at the castle?
2433Certainly not; but would he not be pleased?
2433Come, Davie, I will help you: is Jesus dead, or is he alive?
2433Compelled!--what should compel him?
2433Could you not do it now?
2433Cruel?
2433Damn you? 2433 Davie told me your room was there: do you not find it cold?
2433Davie,he said,"where do you fancy the first lesson in the New Testament ought to begin?"
2433Did it ever occur to ye, sir,he said,"''at maybe deith micht be the first waukin''to some fowk?"
2433Did ye cry, guidman?
2433Did ye no? 2433 Did you ever hear anything about that little room on the stair, mistress Brookes?"
2433Did you ever know a bad woman grow better?
2433Did you ever know a bad woman?
2433Did you ever know a good woman, my lord?
2433Did you ever see a ghost?
2433Didna she sweep oot the schoolroom first whan ye gaed, sir?
2433Didna yer lordship promise an en''to the haill meeserable affair?
2433Dinna ye see the twa reid horse?
2433Do n''t you think we had better tell her all about it?
2433Do n''t you think,suggested Arctura,"when you are not able to say anything, it would be better not to be present?
2433Do ye ken the lass, sir-- to speak til her, I mean?
2433Do you believe it?
2433Do you go any time you like?
2433Do you know any cause for the attack?
2433Do you know why things so often come right?
2433Do you know, my lady,he asked Arctura,"how the aeolian harp is placed for the wind to wake it?"
2433Do you mean to marry her, my lord?
2433Do you mean, go on the roof? 2433 Do you mind being left while I fetch my tools?"
2433Do you not find it very stiff and formal?
2433Do you not owe him justice?
2433Do you not think he would just go on doing the same thing as before?
2433Do you think God would have his child do anything disgraceful? 2433 Do you think he had any knowledge of this plot of his father''s?"
2433Do you think if a man died for a thing, he would be likely to forget it the minute he rose again?
2433Do you think it comes in all storms?
2433Do you think it very silly to mind one''s dreams?
2433Do you think,said Donal,"I ought to tell Simmons?"
2433Do you?
2433Does it need any explanation but that we loved each other?
2433Does she still that same?
2433Does your father often tell you a fairy- tale?
2433Does your lordship think you were in the right-- either towards me or the poor animal who could not obey you because he was in torture?
2433Eppy wha, said ye?
2433Even to the grinding of the faces of the poor?
2433Every day?
2433For no haein''a hoose ower their heads? 2433 For what end were they made?"
2433Gien ye come this gait again,she said,"ye''ll no gang by my door?"
2433H''ard ye never that''afore, maister Grant?
2433Had we not better lock the door, my lady?
2433Has anything fresh happened?
2433Has nothing occurred to wake a doubt in you?
2433Have you attended the scripture- lesson regularly?
2433Have you not suspected him of-- of using you in any way?
2433Have you seen it?
2433He is a man to enjoy having a secret!--But our discovery bears out what we were saying as to the likeness of house and man-- does it not?
2433He wo n''t let me study as I want.--How has he interfered with you?
2433Hoo ken ye that?
2433Hoo ken ye the auld yerl sae weel?
2433Hoo''s a''wi''yersel''?
2433Hoo''s my lord, lass?
2433Hoo''s things gaein''up at the castel?
2433How are we to manage it, mistress Brookes?
2433How can he? 2433 How can that be,"answered Davie,"when you are afraid of him?
2433How can that be-- between a little boy like you, and a grown man like me?
2433How can there be any other than a natural cause, my lady? 2433 How can there be free will where the first thing demanded for its existence or knowledge of itself is obedience?"
2433How can you? 2433 How could I, when I do not know what they are required for?
2433How could he have been cruel to her in the house of his brother? 2433 How did either of you know of my existence?
2433How did he get the ring on to your wrist?
2433How do you know I am afraid of him?
2433How do you know I do not mean to marry her?
2433How do you know it is nonsense?
2433How do you know that?
2433How do you know that?
2433How do you know we are?
2433How do you think you will do without it,Donal once rejoined,"when you find yourself bodiless in the other world?"
2433How far are you going?
2433How is it I find you here with this man?
2433How long will he be your guardian?
2433How long will you take to dress?
2433How long, pray, have you loved me?
2433How shall I find master Davie?
2433How was it?
2433How will she bear it,thought Donal;"how after such an experience, can she spend the rest of the day alone?
2433How would they live? 2433 How?"
2433I believe I know the house, my lord,answered Donal,"with strong iron stanchions to the lower windows, and--?"
2433I ca n''t think what made me sleep so long? 2433 I canna preten''to that; but she''s weel kent throu''a''the country for a God- fearin''wuman.--An''whaur''ll ye be for the noo?"
2433I confess you have the better of me.--But is there not a fallacy in your argument?
2433I did not notice it before.--Do you suppose he left me here to die?
2433I do n''t doubt it; but what could he have had it built for, if he was going to open the other wall? 2433 I do remember a certain thing!--Curious!--But what then as to the openin''o''''t efter?"
2433I have had a good deal,he went on,"to shake my belief in the common ideas on such points.--Do you believe there is such a thing as free will?"
2433I have some hope of it.--You are not frightened, my lady?
2433I hope you have known me long enough,he said,"to believe I have contrived nothing?"
2433I remember very well; why the deuce should I not remember? 2433 I should done better.--Where do you live?"
2433I want you to go to the house for me: you do not mind going, do you?
2433I want you to search a certain bureau there for some papers.--By the way, have you any news to give me about Forgue?
2433I will tell my brother what you say,answered Miss Graeme, with victory in her heart-- for was it not as she had divined?
2433I''ve a good hard head, thank God!--But what has become of them?
2433If God be at peace,he would say to himself,"why should not I?"
2433If I should say everywhere?
2433If a man desires God, he can not help knowing enough of him to be capable of learning more-- else how should he desire him? 2433 If he wanted me to talk to him,"he said,"why did he tell me that about Forgue?
2433If she had gone on, she might have got as good as your mother?
2433If the land were of no value, would the possession of it involve duties?
2433If the only way to life lay through a hair, what must you do but split it? 2433 If we do n''t, then we have n''t faith in him?"
2433In what does the property consist?
2433In what does the value of the land consist?
2433Is he making you still, Mr. Grant? 2433 Is is not grand,"it said,"to be all day with a man like that-- talking to you and teaching you?"
2433Is it a threat to warn you that your very consciousness may become a curse to you? 2433 Is it possible?"
2433Is it,returned Davie,"because they were made right to begin with?"
2433Is my leddy safe?
2433Is n''t it just as well to read such a book? 2433 Is not Christ the same always, and is he not of one mind with God?
2433Is she still-- is she-- alive?
2433Is that to say God has not done his part?
2433Is the factor anywhere in the running?
2433Is there anything you think I could do?
2433Is there no chance for Forgue then?
2433Is there not a duty owing to your family?
2433Is your lordship not aware of some not very pressing duty that you are neglecting to do? 2433 Isna she ower ye?
2433It is near the earl''s room: is there no danger of his hearing anything?
2433It will be time enough to answer that question,replied Donal,"when it changes to,''How did an aeolian harp get up here?''
2433It''s the varra place!--an''the sooner the better-- dinna ye think, my lady?
2433Ken ye my mither?
2433Know a bad woman? 2433 Like Abraham?"
2433Look after my mare, will you?
2433Maister Grant, wull ye ask a blessin''?
2433May he not come here?
2433May it not have been for the sake of shutting out, or hiding something?
2433Mistress Brookes,said lady Arctura,"I want to have a little talk with Mr. Grant, and there is no fire in the library: may we sit here?"
2433More than send his son to die for your sins?
2433Mr. Grant, how could anybody make a dead man live again?
2433Mr. Grant,he said,"will you help me with this passage in Xenophon?"
2433Mr. Grant,said Arctura, in dread of what Davie might say next,"what do you take to be the duty of one inheriting a property?
2433Must even the old titles of the country be buttressed into respectability with money? 2433 My lord,"he said,"I have given my word to the girl: would you have me disgrace your name by breaking it?"
2433No, I do not: who does?
2433No, sir; why should a man fear the presence of his saviour?
2433No; but what then did I give you the lesson for? 2433 Not nonsense to keep imagining what nobody can see?"
2433Now for the girl: who knows about it?
2433Now tell me, were you ever a ghost?
2433Now tell me-- what can the art of writing, and its expansion, or perhaps its development rather, in printing, do in the same direction as necromancy? 2433 Now you know all about the book, do n''t you?"
2433Now, Davie,said Donal,"what have you done since our last lesson?"
2433Now, my lord,said Donal, following his example and sitting down,"will you hear me?"
2433Of what consequence can my opinions be to you, ma''am? 2433 On a still day?"
2433On what grounds then would he say so?
2433One question more: what is faith-- the big faith I mean-- not the little faith between equals-- the big faith we put in one above us?
2433Or frightened?
2433Please, Mr. Grant,said Davie,"may I have a holiday?"
2433Pray what could be the good of that except--?
2433Required of him by what?
2433Shall I try how he takes to trigonometry? 2433 Shall we go on the roof?"
2433Should not the truth be found, whatever it may be? 2433 Suppose he found he had no will, for he could not do what he wished?"
2433Suppose you had been in her image, what then?
2433Suppose you said,''I daresay it is all as good as you say, but I do n''t care to take so much trouble about it,''--what would that be?
2433Suppose you were to say nothing, but go away and do nothing of what I told you-- what would that be?
2433Surely you will not leave me while--.--I thought-- I thought--.--What is it?
2433Surely, Anerew,interposed his wife, holding up her hands in mild deprecation,"ye wudna lat the lassie du wrang gien ye could haud her richt?"
2433Tell me something of your history: where were you born? 2433 The truth alone can be proved, my lord; how should a lie be proved?
2433Then God disowns his children, and when they are the children of another, adopts them? 2433 Then are you not now going to do so?"
2433Then did God repudiate them?
2433Then how are they to be blamed for doing the deeds of their father?
2433Then how should you know how a ghost would feel?
2433Then perhaps it is not a chimney: is there any sign of soot about, Davie?
2433Then she was nearer the image of God than you?
2433Then this may be the varra wa''he biggit?
2433Then what does he live for?
2433Then what is surprising in it?
2433Then what, in the name of God, have you done with my son?
2433Then why does n''t every boy go to him when he ca n''t get fair play?
2433Then why the devil kick up such an infernal shindy about it?
2433Then you allow that it is horrible to think oneself under the influence of the vices of certain wicked people, through whom we come where we are?
2433Then you can do nothing till the music comes again?
2433Then you did really write it?
2433Then you do n''t believe it?
2433Then you have forgiven me?
2433Then you intend neither to meddle nor make?
2433Then you saw a difference between such a woman and your mother?
2433Then you say there are more seeds than are required?
2433Then you think there is no use in going up?
2433Then you wo n''t ride to- day?
2433Then-- then--"What, my lady?
2433This''ll be the Morven Arms, I''m thinkin''?
2433To- morrow then?
2433Understand ignorance?
2433Wad ye lat a stranger put in a word, freen''s?
2433Wad ye objec''to maister ane by himsel''--or maybe twa?
2433Was it very dreadful?
2433Was there injustice than, or was there favour i''that veesitation o''the sins o''their father upo''them?
2433We shall be able at least to see and hear, else where were the use of believing in another world?
2433We shall have no more lessons this morning.--Was your papa with them?
2433We''ll bide till the day comes.--But what are ye stan''in''there for? 2433 Weel, hoo are ye gettin''on wi''the yerl?"
2433Weel, isna''t best to ken what''s intil''t?
2433Weel, wad ye please tell me what ye ca''the justice o''God?
2433Weel, what wad ye mak o''''t?
2433Weel, yoong Eppy, hoo''s a''wi''ye?
2433Well, what then?
2433Well, young man,he said, looking up at him with concentrated severity,"what would you have me do?"
2433Well-- where is the good of knowing that?
2433Were you ever afraid, my lord?
2433What address, please your lordship? 2433 What are sins, Davie?"
2433What are you going to do with her?
2433What are you two whispering at there?
2433What bad things do you do?
2433What book is that you are reading?
2433What ca''they yon castel?
2433What can that be? 2433 What can that be?"
2433What did he die for?
2433What did my father say?
2433What did she say, Davie?
2433What did you marry her for?
2433What do you know about such things? 2433 What do you mean?
2433What do you mean?
2433What do you mean?
2433What do you please to imagine I am doing now?
2433What do you say to that place in the park where was once a mausoleum?
2433What does he do?
2433What does it all mean?
2433What does it matter who said it?
2433What else can it be, standing with the rest?
2433What for no milk?
2433What for no?
2433What for thank ye God for that?
2433What good then can there be in wanting to be learned?
2433What if God be sending fresh light into the minds of his people?
2433What if she knows I do not intend to marry her?
2433What is behind that press there-- wardrobe, I think you call it?
2433What is being wicked?
2433What is his name?
2433What is it?
2433What is it?
2433What is the matter?
2433What kind of a book?
2433What makes a thing your own, do you think, Davie?
2433What makes you say that, mistress Brookes?
2433What makes you think I forgive you, Davie?
2433What name?
2433What objection?
2433What right have you to ask?
2433What shall we do first?
2433What should I say? 2433 What the deuce is that to you?"
2433What the devil are you doing here?
2433What then are all those beech- nuts under the leaves? 2433 What then would you say if the land were your own?
2433What think you of that, sir?
2433What time does he tell them?
2433What times were those?
2433What was it then, uncle?
2433What was it?
2433What was yon''at he said aboot the mirracles no bein''teeps?
2433What were you doing there,she asked, with a strange mingling of expressions,"in such a night?"
2433What were you doing this morning, uncle?
2433What would you like best to do-- I mean if you might do what you pleased?
2433What would you say to me?
2433What would you think of me, Davie,Donal was saying,"if I were angry with you because you did not know something I had never taught you?"
2433What''s that?
2433What''s that?
2433What?
2433Whaur am I wantit, mother?
2433Whaur are ye b''un''for, gien a body may speir?
2433Whaur''s Eppy Comin, gien ye please?
2433When shall we be married?
2433When shall we set about it?
2433When will you bring it me?
2433When would you call a man learned?
2433When you please, my lady.--To- night?
2433When?
2433Where are you, my lady?
2433Where do you mean to pass the night?
2433Where else is the music heard? 2433 Where is he gone?"
2433Where is that, sir?
2433Where is that?
2433Where is the good of fancying what is not true? 2433 Where is the use then of being great?"
2433Where shall we bury them?
2433Where were you, my lady,asked Donal,"when you heard it?
2433Where would Scotland be now but for resistance?
2433Where''s the harm, my lady? 2433 Where''s your money?"
2433Where?
2433Whether that be good or bad?
2433Which of us are you going to tell upon?
2433Which side will you have-- the broad or the narrow?
2433Which way are you going?
2433Who has not that lives?
2433Who is, then?
2433Who said it then?
2433Who taught you?
2433Who will have the property now?
2433Whom else could I mean?
2433Whose children?
2433Whose,insisted Donal,"are the children whom God adopts?"
2433Why did you not open the arches? 2433 Why do n''t you cry to him to deliver you?"
2433Why do things come right so often, do you think, Davie?
2433Why do you ask me?
2433Why do you live there? 2433 Why do you say they are lost?
2433Why do you say-- might have been?
2433Why do you tell me this?
2433Why does he not work here rather than in the archway?
2433Why else should he come and look till he find?
2433Why is he so long about it?
2433Why not?
2433Why not?
2433Why should I not?
2433Why should it look dreadful if it is not dreadful?
2433Why should you mind that?
2433Why so?
2433Why then should you trouble your fancy about them?
2433Why will you not, Arctura?
2433Why, Miss Carmichael, do you think the gospel comes to us as a set of fools? 2433 Why, did n''t you as much as offer to teach me the library?
2433Why, my lord, who said that?
2433Why, what the devil have you to do with it?
2433Why?
2433Why?
2433Why?
2433Why?
2433Why?
2433Why?
2433Why?
2433Will any saying keep her from being so in love with you as to reap misery? 2433 Will it be safe for Davie?"
2433Will peace come out of all storms?
2433Will you come out a bit, Andrew,he said,"--if you''re not tired?
2433Will you come with me?
2433Will you dine with me to- night?
2433Will you let me look at the passage?
2433Will you mind being left?
2433Will you tell her all about it?
2433Will you tell me what you mean by saying you have no ambition?
2433Would it be less mine,said Arctura,"if I was not at liberty to pull it all to pieces?
2433Would not such precaution as that keep you from gaining a true knowledge of many things? 2433 Would she speak to you again if she heard you talking so of the love you give her?"
2433Would that be faith in him?
2433Would you always do what he told you?
2433Would you have me marry the girl? 2433 Would you mind coming to my room?
2433Would you mind coming to the place?
2433Would you mind if I moved the wardrobe a little on one side?
2433Would you not like, my lady,said Donal,"to come to the schoolroom this afternoon?
2433Wrang!--in obeyin''my Maister, whase is the day, as weel''s a''the days? 2433 Wud ye du them a guid turn?"
2433Wud ye hae me lat the lassie tak her chance ohn dune onything?
2433Wull ye hae a drap mair?
2433Ye dinna surely think God fillsna a''thing?
2433Ye dinna think, than, there''s onything wrang in men''in''a pair o''shune on the Sabbath- day?
2433Ye wadna hang the puir craturs, wad ye?
2433Yes,she answered at once;"I should like it much!--Is there not something you could give me to do?--Will you not teach me something?"
2433You are not going to leave me?
2433You are not vexed with your pupil-- are you?
2433You did not?
2433You do n''t like it then?
2433You do n''t mean there is anything like that in me?
2433You do n''t mind if I make a little dust, my lady?
2433You do n''t surely hint,said Donal,"that there''s anything between her and lord Forgue?
2433You do not mind being left alone?
2433You doubt my honour?
2433You have never told her so?--never said or done anything to make her think so?
2433You have not then been much about yet?
2433You have probably guessed why I sent for you?
2433You know as well as I do the word has many meanings?
2433You know they say there is a hidden room in the castle, my lady?
2433You think I should make my castle my husband?
2433You will come out with me?
2433You will not be afraid to be left then when I go down?
2433You will not tell me his name?
2433You will take good care of her, Davie?
2433You will try again?
2433You would not care to come there with me?
2433You would not like having to give away your castle-- would you, Arkie?
2433You would wish then to retire, my lord, I presume?
2433You''ve been into it, my lady?--What-- what--?
2433Your uncle?
2433''An''hoo are ye to help it, sir?''
2433''Cause he seesna fit to gie me her I wad hae, is he no to hae his wull o''me?
2433''Did n''t you find a man''s head-- a skull, I mean, upon the premises?''
2433''Did ye show''t ony disrespec''?''
2433''That?''
2433''Then is the head in the way of being buried and dug up again?''
2433''Tis a night for all ghostly lovers To haunt the best- loved spot: Is he come in his dreams to this garden?
2433''What do you want with my child?''
2433''What''s either but an appearance?
2433--But had your uncle given you anything?"
2433--But what is that?"
2433--But, Mr. Grant, why should you make Arkie speak to me too?"
2433--How much did you drink, sir-- if I may make so bold?"
2433--Suppose now a man was unconscious of any ability to do the thing required of him?"
2433--what would you say?"
2433--would that be to believe in me?"
2433A bed in a chapel, and one dead thereon!--how could it be?
2433All the time her acceptance and defence of any doctrine made not the slightest difference to her life-- as indeed how should it?
2433An''syne what wud the earl say?
2433An''what brings the guid man til''s senses, div ye think?
2433And are n''t you going to teach yourself to me?"
2433And now what was she to conclude from his reading the Apocrypha?
2433And was that again the sound he had followed, fainter and farther off than before-- a downy wind- wafted plume from the skirt of some stray harmony?
2433And what would Sophia say?
2433And why did it content him to have only his head above ground?
2433And would it be more mine when I had pulled it to pieces, Davie?"
2433And you ca n''t say he shuffles, for he never stops till he has done his best to make you!--What have you been saying to him, Hector?"
2433And you wo n''t say any wicked things, will you?
2433Anyhow, what was to be done?
2433Are her fair feet bending the grasses?
2433Are they not the children of the tree?"
2433Are we never ta raise the han''to human bein'', think ye?"
2433Are ye comin''in, or are ye no?"
2433Are ye in want o''onything?
2433Are you sure he is not plotting to devour sheep and shepherd together?"
2433At what point did the aberration begin?
2433Because I believe the Bible, do I believe everything that comes from the pulpit?
2433Because she is mine, ought I of necessity to be enslaved to all her accidents?
2433But I dare not ask mistress Brookes whether she saw me--""You do not imagine you were out of the room?"
2433But I s''come to the table.--Wud ye alloo me to speir efter yer name, sir?"
2433But Miss Carmichael, stepping forward, said,"Mr. Grant, I can not let you go till you answer me one question: do you believe in the atonement?"
2433But are you not in danger-- you will pardon me for saying it-- of presumption?--How can all the good people be wrong?"
2433But could the voice be from the spirit- land?
2433But did he know mistress Brookes well enough?
2433But did you come here in the dark?"
2433But do you suppose I would take any situation on such a condition?"
2433But from the deafness burst and trickled a faint doubtful stream: could it be a voice, calling, calling, from a great distance?
2433But his lordship would see him-- and could Mr. Grant find the way himself, for his old bones ached with running up and down those endless stone steps?
2433But how did it get in to my head?"
2433But how was he to return?
2433But how was it?
2433But how would Forgue carry himself?
2433But if Eppy would meet him, how could he or anyone help it?
2433But if that had been the intent, what could the building of a wall, vaguely recollected by mistress Brookes, have been for?
2433But is it not strange the heart should be less ready to believe what seems worth believing?
2433But is there not something in your being able to write a poem like that about a garden such as you had never seen?
2433But noo I hae a fauvour to beg o''ye-- no for my sake but for hers: gien ye hae the warnin'', ye''ll be wi''me whan I gang?
2433But says he,''No, no, you must not go; who knows what it may be?
2433But surely there was hope for that world yet!--for whose were the words in which its indwelling despair grew audible?
2433But tell me one thing, my lord: if my lady''s horse was lame, how was it she did not know?
2433But the gudewife was a religions woman after her fashion-- who can be after any one else''s?
2433But was it ink?
2433But were there not now just as many evils as then?
2433But what can be the use of it?"
2433But what for sud I no say I dinna see''t?
2433But what was he to do?
2433But why should my lord be frightened so?"
2433But why was she so white?
2433But would not you be sorry to lose another mystery?"
2433But you will understand me?"
2433But-- excuse me, Mr. Grant-- you will understand me presently-- are you-- are you quite--?"
2433By degrees one might, you know,--eh?"
2433By their own power?
2433Ca n''t you teach me this great old castle?
2433Ca n''t you understand a fellow?
2433Can God be God and do anything conceivably to blame-- anything that is not altogether beautiful?
2433Can it be that he suspects something?
2433Can ye gie him a nicht''s lodgin''?"
2433Can you imagine what place it might be?"
2433Could anything be done that would not both be and cause a wrong?
2433Could it have been a draught down the pipe of the music- chords?
2433Could it have been drunkenness?
2433Could they have visited all the places whose remembrance lingered in his brain?
2433Could you not turn him loose upon sir Walter Scott?"
2433Did he actually hear the words?
2433Did you ever see an aeolian harp, my lady?"
2433Did you never make yourself unhappy about what might be on its way to you, and wish you could know beforehand something to guide you how to meet it?"
2433Do n''t you know that, besides being himself, and just because he is himself, Jesus is the living picture of God?"
2433Do you believe yourself one to be so trusted?"
2433Do you hear, Grant?
2433Do you know where to find him?"
2433Do you think Jesus came to deliver us from the punishment of our sins?
2433Do you think if the devil could create, his children could ever become the children of God?
2433Do you think it a good law, sir?"
2433Do you think there is any instrument in it from which such a sound might have proceeded?
2433Does God never visit the virtues of the father on the child?
2433Does it always take so much labour?"
2433Donal thought little of such things himself, but did that affect his duty in the matter?
2433Donal''s bosom swelled with delight; then came a sting: was he already forgetting his inextinguishable grief?
2433Examining it with his hands, he believed it the same he had ascended in the morning: even in a great castle, could there be two such royal stairs?
2433Few indeed have reached the point of health to laugh at disease, but are there none?
2433Five hundredth hand rather?
2433For the question had come to him-- might not the music hold some relation with the legend of the lost room?
2433For what can there be in heaven or earth for a soul that believes in an unjust God?
2433For who is a god But the man who can spring Up from the sod, And be his own king?
2433Gien a man ought to defen''himsel'', but disna du''t,''cause he thinks God wadna hae him du''t, wull God lea''him oondefent for that?
2433God bless you!--You will let me think of you as a friend?"
2433God is the causing Nature.--Tell me, is not the music heard only in stormy nights, or at least nights with a good deal of wind?"
2433Grant!--Mustn''t he, Arkie?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Grant?"
2433Had he any right to do anything?
2433Had he in any way been the earl''s companion through such a long night as it seemed?
2433Had he or had he not ever seen the place before?
2433Had he really seen it?
2433Had he remembered the fact, would he not have come to him to attempt securing his complicity?
2433Had he sent her mother to think her full of roses?
2433Had her presence dispelled darkness and death, and restored the lost chapel to the light of day?
2433Had it been slowly coming without his knowing it?
2433Had she haunted it ever since, dead yet alive, watching for his return to pardon him?
2433Had she sought refuge there from some persecutor?
2433Had the woman-- for Donal imagined the form yet showed it the body of a woman-- been carried thither of her own desire, to die in a holy place?
2433Had they not both a claim upon Donal for the truth?
2433Hae ye ony w''y o''approachin''the place?"
2433Haena ye to du as she tells ye?
2433Harper?''
2433Have you any sins, Davie?"
2433Have you been discovering anything more?"
2433Have you brought Simmons with you?"
2433He could hardly believe it?
2433He might be a priest in the temple; but was there not a Samuel in the temple as well as an Eli?
2433He might think little of money, but would he therefore look on while a pocket was picked?
2433He put out his hand to him, and said,"You''ll stand my friend, Grant?"
2433He that hath seen me hath seen the father, and how sayest thou then, Show us the father?''"
2433He thought she needed not have run away as from something dangerous: why did she not pass him like any other servant of the house?
2433He was gazing into a void-- was it not rather a condition of things inappreciable by his senses?
2433Head and all must soon follow.--But how am I to get rid of this plaster without being seen?"
2433His lordship maun be loot ken, as ye say; but wull his lordship believe ye, sir?
2433How can you worship a God who gives you all the little things he does not care much about, but will not do his best for you?"
2433How could he be asleep so early in the night?
2433How could she?
2433How do you know it?"
2433How is a Graeme to serve under a bumpkin?"
2433How is a power to be known but by being a power, and how is it to be a power but in its own exercise of itself?
2433How many would loathe the sin?
2433How many would remain capable of doing all again?
2433How quickest could he go?
2433How should such a one either enjoy or recommend her religion?
2433How then am I made in his image?
2433How then should they be beyond his reach?
2433How was he to feel sure of it?
2433How was she able to love the God she said she believed in?
2433How was she ever to know?
2433How was she to be accepted of God, who did not accept her own neighbour, but looked down, without knowing it, upon so many of her fellow- creatures?
2433How was she to know that he could not even feed himself?
2433How was she to please God, as she called it, who thought of him in a way repulsive to every loving soul?
2433How was she to think aright with scarce a glimmer of God''s truth?
2433How?"
2433I doubt if her love was of the deepest she had to give; but who can tell?
2433I left her fast asleep, and I hope she''ll sleep through it.--Did you ever hear anything strange about the house before we came?''
2433I must think it all over!--It was after his wife''s death, you say?"
2433I thoucht wi''mysel'', is''t possible she disna believe me?
2433I trust you have not brought Davie with you?"
2433I''ll go an''get it, my lady.--But wouldna''t be better for you and me, sir, to get a''that dune by oorsel''s?
2433If I did not do my best for the poor girl, I dared not look my Master in the face!--Where is your honour, my lord?"
2433If I were to make a creature needing all my love to make life endurable to him, and then not be kind enough to him, should I not be cruel?
2433If a fact, how could it have been?
2433If a fancy, how was he so weary?
2433If ever we hear a far- off rumour of angel- visit, it is not from some solitary plain with lonely children?
2433If he thought he was doing so well with Davie, why not send the two away together till things were settled?
2433If she died there, would Donal come one day and find her?
2433If there are in it rogues that look like honest men, how is any one, without a special gift of insight, to be always sure of the honest man?
2433If there should be ever so slight a leaning in the direction, might he not so give a sudden and fatal impulse?
2433If you admire her so much you must have behaved to her so much the more like a genuine lover?
2433If you saw a great dark cloak coming along the road as if it were round somebody, but nobody inside it, you would be frightened-- would you not?"
2433In the epistle to the Galatians, whose child does he speak of as adopted?
2433Is he not the Lord God merciful and gracious?"
2433Is it down in the dungeon of the castle, my lady?"
2433Is it in the farthest corner of the room?
2433Is it necessary to say she was not a weak woman?
2433Is it not enough to know that if the devil were the greater, yet would not God do him homage, but would hang for ever on his cross?
2433Is it not the evil thing?"
2433Is it such?
2433Is it true, Mr. Grant, that you are a dangerous man?
2433Is not the great misery of our life, that those dear to us die?
2433Is that a thing Jesus would have done when he was a little boy?"
2433Is there any way of truly or worthily receiving a message without understanding it?
2433Isna the blin''man to say he''s blin''?"
2433It came as of itself to her lips, and she said,"Mr. Grant, how are we to know what God is like?"
2433It''s agreed I canna be the same: if I canna be the same, I maun aither be less or greater than I was afore: whilk o''them is''t to be?
2433Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
2433Ken ye ony dacent, clean place, whaur they wad gie me a room to mysel'', an''no seek mair nor I could pey them?"
2433May not a man well long after personal communication with this or that one of the greatest who have lived before him?
2433Might a man so lose hold of himself as to be no more certain he had ever possessed or could ever possess himself again?
2433Might he not poison her, smother her, kill her somehow, anyhow that was safest?
2433Miss Carmichael looked at lady Arctura as much as to say--"Is he speaking the truth?"
2433Mr. Carmichael was older, and might be more experienced; but did his light shine clearer than Donal''s?
2433Mr. Grant would like to have your advice as to what--.--You''ll come and see them, wo n''t you?"
2433Must God be ever on the cross, that we poor worshippers may pay him our highest honour?
2433Must I, because I love her, hoard her gowns and shoes?"
2433My uncle--""Shall we go into the picture- gallery?"
2433Naebody there?
2433Noo, wad ye no say this was a veesitin''o''the sins o''the father upo''the children?"
2433Now where is the beginning of this marble?"
2433Now you are safe!--You were not afraid, were you?"
2433Now, I ask you, Davie, was it worth while for Jesus to do this for us?
2433Of course Lazarus was going to die again, but can you think his two sisters either loved him less, or wept as much over him the next time he died?"
2433Oh, why would not God tell her something about himself-- something direct-- straight from himself?
2433On the other hand it may have been known to many who held their peace about it.--Would you not like to know the truth concerning that too?"
2433Only the spiritual and the natural blend so that we may one day be astonished!--Would you like to join the music- hunt, my lady?"
2433Only what was a poor girl to do who did not know how to feed herself, but apply to one who pretended to be able to feed others?
2433Opening it-- was it a thinner darkness or the faintest gleam of light he saw?
2433Or gien a body stan''s up i''the name o''God, an''fronts an airmy o''enemies, div ye think God''ill forsake him''cause he''s made a mistak?
2433Or is God less beautiful and good than that?"
2433Or might there not be somebody else?
2433Or was it a stilled human moaning?
2433Ought a woman to get rid of it, or attend to it herself?"
2433Ought the chance to be allowed the nameless youth of marrying his cousin?
2433Ought the next heir to the lordship to go without his title?
2433Sae ye see, sir, we''re like John Sprat an''his wife:--ye''ll ken the bairns''say aboot them?"
2433Said Davie,"Must a woman, Mr. Grant, marry a man she does not love?"
2433Said the worm at his side, Sweet fool, Turn to thy bride; Is the night so cool?
2433Shall I go and fetch Miss Carmichael?"
2433Shall I go on, and see what it is?"
2433Shall I stay to look on her nearer?
2433Shall we leave it for the present?"
2433She did not know she could: how should she?
2433She had been listening intently: was the cloven foot of Mr. Grant''s heresy now at last about to appear plainly?
2433She had heard the music, she said-- very soft: would he go on the roof?
2433She lay quiet, slowly waking to fuller consciousness.--Was there not a strange air, a dull odour in the room?
2433She started: had she not heard it a hundred times before, as she lay there in the dark alone?
2433She tried to unclasp it, but could not: which of her bracelets could it be?
2433Should I be able?"
2433Should he tell the earl, or should he not?
2433Simmons tells me I may have as much coal and wood as I like: will you help me to get them up?"
2433So I can not tell a bit what God is like?
2433So long as she is able still to love, she is never quite to be pitied; but when the reaction comes--?
2433Some ghaists hae a cat- like natur for places, an''what for no for banes?
2433Something must be true: why not the worthy-- oftener at least than the unworthy?
2433Suddenly he stopped: were those the sounds of a scuffle he heard on the road before him?
2433That a wall had been built he did not doubt, for he believed he knew the wall, but why?
2433That which is confessedly false and worth nothing?"
2433That would account for a good deal-- would it not?"
2433That''s no the w''y o''his kingdom!--I suppose there''s nae doobt wha?"
2433The branch which could produce such scions, might well be itself a false graft on the true stem of the family!--if not, what was the family worth?
2433The earl himself wrote in reply, saying-- had he been out of the country that he did not know she was dead and six weeks in her grave?
2433The end must come, and what will it be?
2433The father might have a right to know, but had he a right to know from him?
2433Then how am I to love him?
2433Then how did it get into the place?
2433They''re weel eneuch worth duin''the best I can for them; but the morn''s Sunday, an''what hae ye to put on?"
2433Those high, intense, burning tones-- so soft, yet so certain-- what are they?
2433Unreal knowledge is worse than ignorance.--Would not Miss Graeme be a better friend?"
2433Wad he say things''at he didna mean fowk to un''erstan''whan he said them?"
2433Wad ye direc''me to the manse?"
2433Was God indeed to be reached by the prayers, affected by the needs of men?
2433Was anything required of him?
2433Was he in a terrible dream?
2433Was he not more childlike, more straightforward, more simple, and, she could not but think, more obedient than those?
2433Was he the fool of weariness and excitement, or did he actually hear his own name?
2433Was he to hold his tongue and leave the thing as not his, or to speak out as he would have done had the case been his own?
2433Was it God coming to her?
2433Was it a lost music- tone that had wandered from afar and grown faint?
2433Was it a moan of the river from below?
2433Was it a rude utterance?
2433Was it a vision she had had?
2433Was it anything?
2433Was it not while we were yet sinners that he poured out his soul for us?
2433Was it one of those mysterious sounds he had read of as born in the air itself, and not yet explained of science?
2433Was it then true?
2433Was it there, or had he only imagined it?
2433Was it, I say, a thing worth doing, to let us see that they are alive with God all the time, and can be produced any moment he pleases?"
2433Was not that another glimmer on the floor-- from the back of the room-- through a door he did not remember having seen yesterday?
2433Was she going out of her mind?
2433Was she going to die?
2433Was she there to assure him that he might yet hope for the world to come?
2433Was the man out of his mind, or only a sleep- walker?
2433Was the thing a fact or a fancy?
2433Was there anything very strange about it last night?
2433Was there no sin of murder on his soul?
2433Was this a case of the sins of the father being visited on the child?
2433We know very little about these things; but what if the brain give the opportunity for the action which is to result in freedom?
2433We love one another, not ourselves-- don''t we, Davie?"
2433We will call upon her another day.--It is funny, is n''t it, Davie, to go a bird''s- nesting after music on the roof of a house?"
2433What a priori reason do you see why I should not be able to write verses?
2433What business had ye to come efter me this gait, makin''mischief''atween my lord an''me?
2433What can be o''mair importance nor doin''richt i''the sicht o''God?"
2433What could be done?
2433What could he do?
2433What could he do?
2433What could it mean?
2433What could it mean?
2433What could it mean?
2433What could ye lat me hae''t for by the week?
2433What do you know about horses?"
2433What do you think, Davie?"
2433What does it mean?
2433What for sud I threip''at I oucht to hae her?
2433What for sudna I be disapp''intit as weel as anither?
2433What gives you a right to speak?"
2433What ground could such a parent have to complain of his children?"
2433What had befallen him?
2433What hae we sic as yersel''set ower''s for, gien it binna to haud''s i''the straicht path o''what we''re to believe an''no to believe?
2433What idea can a man have of religion who knows nothing of it except from what he hears at church?"
2433What if I imagine myself set in charge over young minds and hearts?
2433What if I know you better than the good man whose friendship for your parents gives him a kind interest in you?
2433What if there should come to him no answer?
2433What if there should, without the brain, be no means of working our liberty?
2433What is the imagination here for?"
2433What king was it, sir, that made the law that no lady, however disagreeable, was to have her ears boxed?
2433What matters the word but for the spirit?
2433What might be the cause of it?
2433What might not a man in the mental and moral condition of the earl, unrestrained by law or conscience, risk to secure the property for his son?
2433What ought he to attempt?
2433What salary do you want?"
2433What should he do?
2433What was Donal to do or think now?
2433What was he then?"
2433What was he to do?
2433What was he to do?
2433What was he to do?
2433What was it I told you?"
2433What was it to him?
2433What was it?
2433What was it?
2433What was required of him?
2433What would the earl think of him?
2433What''s a poet?"
2433What''s any thing of all the damned humbug but appearance?
2433Whaur wull ye be?"
2433When at last he lay quiet,"Will you promise to walk out if I let you up?"
2433When he calls my name shall I not answer?"
2433When he puts joy in my heart, shall I not be glad?
2433When he stopped,--"Now have you eased your mind?"
2433When it was ready,"Now, my lord,"said Donal,"will you come?"
2433When what may be makes no show, what more natural than to imagine about it?
2433When you are my teacher, Davie, I try-- don''t I-- to do everything you tell me?"
2433Whence then this sense of something akin to shame?
2433Where is the refuge of the child who fears his father?
2433Where was the use of giving in, when I kept her in hand so easily that way?
2433Who dared make changes in his house?
2433Who knows what the thing we call air is?
2433Who would know the shape of a chair who took his idea of it from its shadow on the floor?
2433Whose fault is that?"
2433Why did n''t you come and wake me, Davie, my boy?"
2433Why had he such a fancy for his old bones?
2433Why her mother?
2433Why say all you think?"
2433Why should I fear the best thing that, in its time, can come to me?
2433Why should he be ashamed of anything coming upon him from without?
2433Why should he move?
2433Why should she only hear of him at second hand-- always and always?
2433Why should the dead haunt their bones as if to make sure of having their own again?"
2433Why should we draw his plough?"
2433Why should you compel a confession of my faith?"
2433Why should you want to learn me?"
2433Why should you want to write one?"
2433Will it be in the library?"
2433Without means, what was he to do?
2433Would God leave his creature who trusted in him at the mercy of a chance-- of a glass of wine taken in ignorance?
2433Would I not be to blame?
2433Would his factor otherwise have dared such liberties with him, the lady''s guardian?
2433Would his wife so receive him at the last with forgiveness and endearment?
2433Would it have been a breach of your promise if you had gone to the castle on some service to the man you almost murdered?
2433Would she be prudent, or spoil everything by precipitation?
2433Would she claim his promise thence, tempting him thither?
2433Would she start and vanish away?
2433Would that be like a father?
2433Would the souls of the mariners shipwrecked this night go forth into the ceaseless turmoil?
2433Would they then be victorious over God, too strong for him to overcome-- beyond the reach of repentance?
2433Would you have done it?"
2433Would you like some now?
2433Would you say you had it solely for your own and your family''s good, or for that of the tenants as well?"
2433Wouldst thou lie like a stone till the aching morn Out of the dark be born?
2433Ye hae seen a mither ower her wee lassie''s sampler?
2433You can examine it when you please.--If only you could find my bad dream, and drive it out!--Will you come now?"
2433You did n''t think I was afraid of him?"
2433You did not really see anything, did you?"
2433You do n''t mind, do you?"
2433You have testimonials?"
2433You said you heard the music in your own room: would you let me look about in it a little?
2433You say he hears prayer: why should n''t you ask him?
2433You threaten to leave the house-- can you pay for a railway- ticket?"
2433You will not obey my orders: am I to obey yours?"
2433You''ll do as you please-- will you?
2433and I think that is what we must come to.--But where shall we bury them?--where they lie, or in the garden?"
2433and on the altar what was hardly more than the dusty shadow of a baby?"
2433and once in possession of the property, who would dispute the title?
2433and why then should I want to hurt him?"
2433are you?
2433but because you love his memory must I regard him as a Solon?
2433could she be down in the chapel?
2433cried his lordship almost eagerly;"you intend giving your life to teaching?"
2433cried his lordship, glad to turn at right angles from the path of the conversation;"you do n''t surely believe in that legendary personage?"
2433did you say, Stephen?
2433dinna ye ken, sir?
2433do n''t you know that yet?
2433does he wear his sheepskin so well?
2433hae na ye h''ard?"
2433he asked reproachfully:"do you not feel well?"
2433he kept repeating to himself; but what was it?
2433or how far can it be called free, consistently with the notion of a God over all?"
2433repeated the clergyman, with something very like a sneer;"--but what if I think that all a very great deal?
2433returned Andrew,"what ken ye aboot what''s no i''scriptur''?
2433said Donal sternly,"if you saw any impropriety in the ceremony, why did you perform it?
2433said Donal:"what could necromancy, which is one of the branches of magic, do for one at the best?"
2433second hand?
2433she''ll get it the easier oot o''her hert?
2433something might suggest itself!--Is it the room I saw you in once?"
2433that to know yourself may be your hell?
2433that you may come to make it your first care to forget what you are?
2433thought Donal with himself;"an old withered grief looks almost as pitiful as an old withered joy!--But who is to say either is withered?
2433wha ever saw him cheenge word wi''brither man?"
2433what else are we offered in Jesus but the absolutely human?
2433what is that behind you?"
2433what was that shape in the middle?--what was that on the black pillow?--what was that thick line stretching towards one of the head- posts?
2433what were your parents?"
2433what''s come o''the bairn?''
2433where and how was it to be met?
2433will you preach to me?"
2433would a man deny his own father or mother?"
2433you have seen something?"
2433you would not have God against you?"
