40502You''ll need a rehearsal, wo n''t you?
40502You''re not trying to make a Brownie of him, are you?
40502Are you all retty?"
40502Are you retty?"
40502But it had failed him once-- would it fail him again?

40502Do you not think we had better seek some other place where we can do good?"
40502Do you understand me?"
40502Dragonfel surveyed the work with great satisfaction, and asked Grouthead who was in general charge:"When were they fed last?"
40502Has my voice grown so weak, you rogues, that you can not hear me?
40502Have you a sweetheart?"
40502Have you come far?"
40502Her hearers all looked puzzled, and Dame Drusilda made bold to ask:"Who is Euphrosyne of whom you speak?"
40502How could he make them all his friends?
40502How do we know this is the truth?"
40502How does this concern me?"
40502How would he use it?
40502Idling your time away?

40502Now that they had succeeded in reaching Dragonfel''s country what steps should be taken in the effort to recover Queen Titania and her companions?
40502Of that we have abundant proof, have we not, husband?"
40502Soon Dragonfel would revive, and then what would happen?
40502Soon matters took on their usual routine, and, noticing that the Policeman limped, King Stanislaus asked:"Officer, what''s the matter?"
40502Tell me, must I stay here always?"
40502The banging continued with greater insistence, and, advancing close to the portcullis, Prince Florimel shouted:"Who are you, and what do you want?"
40502The point is, could he represent his kingdom with the proper dignity?"
40502The question is, where have they gone?"
40502Then noticing Florimel for the first time he asked:"But who is this?"
40502They embraced fondly, and Titania asked:"When will the Brownies take us away from here?"
40502They had saved their foe, but to what purpose?
40502Vat are you shtanding here for?"
40502Vere iss Heiny von Strauss?"
40502What could he do to gain the confidence and esteem of these little people whom already he was beginning to love?
40502What have you discovered?"
40502What have you ever done?"
40502What kind of a young lad was he?
40502What shall we do with them?"
40502Where has he gone?"
40502Where have you been, imps?
40502Who else can match you in your wondrous strength?"
40502Why have you not returned as you went?
40502Why not continue here, where we are all so happy?"
40502Would it not be better to intrust a delicate matter like this to Snoutpimple?"
40502You understand, do n''t you, that after this you''re to let the Brownies alone?"
40502[ Illustration]"Are you happy, Florimel?"
40502[ Illustration]"Are you sure the Brownies did it?"
40502[ Illustration]"Of whom are you both talking?"
40502[ Illustration]"The enchanter across the sea?"
40502[ Illustration]"Was he handsome?"
40502[ Illustration]"What is your wish?"
40502cried Violet, and"What did I tell you?"
34339''What''s the good o''that, sir?'' 34339 ''Where''tis all a hill, sir, Never can be holes: Why should their shoes have soles, sir, When they''ve got no souls?''"
34339Ai n''t it yours, too, father?
34339Am I, mother? 34339 And I never knew it!--Then perhaps you can tell me why my grandmother has brought me here?
34339And do n''t you know for what purpose they do it?
34339And what happened after that?
34339And what more do you see?
34339And what will you do next, grandmother?
34339And when shall I see her?
34339And who makes the chicken broth for you?
34339And why is n''t it hers now?
34339And why should the goblins mind_ you_, pray?
34339And yet_ you_ wo n''t believe_ me_, Curdie?
34339And_ you_ wo n''t say I''m ugly, any more-- will you, princess?
34339Are those horrid creatures gone?
34339Are you a hundred?
34339But do n''t you hear my grandmother talking to me?
34339But how did you come to be in my house, and me not know it?
34339But how did you find your way to me?
34339But how do you get at the eggs? 34339 But how do you make it shine through the walls?"
34339But how ever did Lootie come to let you go into the mountain alone?
34339But somebody knows that you are in the house?
34339But what do you make of the grandmother? 34339 But what do you mean by the king and queen?"
34339But what shall we do when you are at the palace?
34339But what use can I make of it, if it lies in your cabinet?
34339But what will Lootie be thinking? 34339 But what?"
34339But why do n''t we wear shoes like them, father? 34339 But why do_ you_ think we shall be safe?"
34339But why should our poor creatures be deprived of so much nourishment? 34339 But you still think the lode does come through into our house?"
34339But, Curdie,said his mother,"why should n''t you go with the king?
34339By came a birdie:''Goblin, what do you do?'' 34339 Can you tell me what I am spinning?"
34339Did n''t I tell you the first was from upstairs?
34339Did n''t she speak as if she saw those other things herself, Curdie?
34339Did she die_ very_ soon? 34339 Did you expect me to believe you, princess?"
34339Do n''t you see the lovely fire of roses-- white ones amongst them this time?
34339Do you know, Curdie?
34339Do you live in this room always?
34339Do you mean to insinuate_ I''ve_ got toes, you unnatural wretch?
34339Do you think you would like to sleep with me?
34339Do you work all day and night too, great- great- great- great grandmother?
34339Does it, Lootie?
34339Had n''t we better be moving?
34339Have I done anything to vex you, grandmother?
34339Have you, indeed, my boy?
34339How can that be?
34339How could I help it? 34339 How did you get in?"
34339How do you get your dinner then?
34339How far on have you got?
34339How is it that I can then? 34339 How long will it take?"
34339How should I feed them, though?
34339I do n''t know what more.--What more is my name, Lootie?
34339I wonder, Lootie--that was her pet- name for her nurse--"what pigeons''eggs taste like?"
34339Is it because you have your crown on that you look so young?
34339Is it long since you came? 34339 Is it naughty of Lootie then?"
34339Is that what makes your hair so white?
34339Is this_ all_ your spinning, grandmother?
34339Might n''t I stay and sleep with you to- night, grandmother?
34339Nor the blue bed? 34339 Now,"insisted Irene,"you_ will_ come and see my grandmother-- won''t you?"
34339Nursie,said the princess,"why wo n''t you believe me?"
34339Please, Mrs. Housekeeper,said the princess,"will you take me to your room and keep me till my king- papa comes?
34339Please, am I to keep it?
34339Please, king- papa,she said,"will you tell me where I got this pretty ring?
34339Sha''n''t we, king- papa?
34339Shall I see if we can manage that?
34339That reminds me-- there is one thing that puzzles me,said the princess:"how are you to get the thread out of the mountain again?
34339Then how was it? 34339 Then if you do n''t know what I mean, what right have you to call it nonsense?"
34339Then what can be the matter with your finger? 34339 Then what_ do_ you see?"
34339Then why did n''t you come to me to wipe them for you?
34339Then you did n''t see the cobs?
34339Then you''ve come from my house, have you?
34339There!--don''t you see it shining on before us?
34339What am I to say when Lootie asks me where I got it?
34339What are you about here?
34339What are you laughing at, husband?
34339What are you thinking of, my love?
34339What can it be?
34339What can that noise be?
34339What did they want there? 34339 What did you have for breakfast this morning?"
34339What did you see?
34339What difference does that make?
34339What do they do to him?
34339What do you mean by that?
34339What does that matter?
34339What is that noise?
34339What is that, grandmother?
34339What is the stone called?
34339What made her die, then? 34339 What more?"
34339What shall he call me, then, Lootie?
34339What was that noise?
34339What were they?
34339What were you afraid of, nursie?
34339What''s all the haste, nursie?
34339What''s that horrible noise?
34339What''s that?
34339What''s the matter, Helfer?
34339What_ am_ I to do?
34339What_ do_ you mean?
34339What_ shall_ I do, grandmother?
34339When_ shall_ I wake?
34339Where are you going there?
34339Where do they get the feathers?
34339Where do you keep them?
34339Where is your crown then?
34339Where''s the princess?
34339Who do n''t like it?
34339Who gave me the ring, Lootie? 34339 Who is he that interrupts the Chancellor?"
34339Who''s Peter?
34339Who''s that laughing at me?
34339Why ca n''t you help it now?
34339Why did n''t you tell me then?
34339Why do n''t you put out your moon?
34339Why do they wear shoes up there?
34339Why do you call yourself old? 34339 Why do you think so?"
34339Why does n''t she want it now?
34339Why not?
34339Why were n''t you in your workroom, when we came up, grandmother?
34339Why, child?
34339Why, how ever did you come here, Irene?
34339Why, please?
34339Why, what do you mean?
34339Why, what else could he be?
34339Why, what have you been doing with your eyes, child?
34339Why, what''s the matter?
34339Why, who are you?
34339Will you be quiet then?
34339Will you give me an egg to eat? 34339 Without her shoes?"
34339Wo n''t you hold it to my frock and my hands and my face? 34339 Wo n''t you, Curdie?"
34339You are not coming, are you?
34339You confess, my boy,she said,"there is something about the whole affair you do not understand?"
34339You do n''t mean you''ve got the thread there?
34339You wo n''t be afraid then to go to bed with such an old woman?
34339You wo n''t come up and see my huge, great, beautiful grandmother, then, king- papa?
34339You''re not afraid of the rose-- are you?
34339You_ will_ let me take you to see my dear old great big grandmother, wo n''t you?
34339After the king had eaten and drunk, he turned to the princess and said, stroking her hair--"Now, my child, what shall we do next?"
34339And what am I to say to her when she asks me where I have been?"
34339And_ he_ was prowling about-- was he?
34339Are n''t you glad you have got him out?"
34339Are the eggs nice?"
34339Are you all smelling very sweet this morning?
34339Are you fifty?"
34339But how was she to find her way back?
34339But what could he do?
34339But why should I be there rather than in this beautiful room?"
34339CHAPTER IV WHAT THE NURSE THOUGHT OF IT"WHY, where can you have been, princess?"
34339Could his string have led him wrong?
34339Could it be that the thread was leading him home to his mother''s cottage?
34339Could it be the rain?
34339Could it be--?
34339Could it really be that an old lady lived up in the top of the house with pigeons and a spinning- wheel, and a lamp that never went out?
34339Could the princess be there?
34339Did n''t the air agree with her?"
34339Did you ever see a spindle or a spinning wheel?
34339Did you?
34339Do n''t you see that funny man peeping over the rock?"
34339Do you know the difference?
34339Do you see a slab laid up against the wall?"
34339Do you see that bath behind you?"
34339Does he, nursie?"
34339Does it not, Harelip?"
34339Finding no change on the other side--"Shall I ever get back?"
34339Had n''t you a handkerchief to wipe your eyes with?"
34339How much wiser will you be then?"
34339How was it?"
34339How_ could_ the king have fallen in love with her?"
34339I know I''ve had it a long time, but where did I get it?
34339I was sure my grandmother had been to see you.--Don''t you smell the roses?
34339Is this what you expected?"
34339It was your lamp I saw-- wasn''t it?"
34339It''s prettier than anything I ever saw, except those-- of all colors-- in your-- Please, is that your crown?"
34339Lootie, will you please to dress me?"
34339May n''t I call this my home?"
34339Nor the beautiful light, like the moon, hanging from the roof?"
34339Nor the rose- colored counterpane?
34339Now tell me where you have been?"
34339Or was it to- day, because it was so wet that I could n''t get out?"
34339Please will you take me back to her?"
34339Shall I carry your little Highness?"
34339Shall I go in first?"
34339Shall I take you in my arms?"
34339She did take you out, and she must have had something to guide her: why not a thread as well as a rope, or anything else?
34339Sir Walter, will you take charge of me?"
34339That is not much like an old lady-- is it?
34339That would n''t be comfortable-- would it?
34339The king looked grave, and said--"What does my little daughter mean?"
34339The king took her on his knee, and she said in his ear--"King- papa, do you hear that noise?"
34339The princess when he heard her voice almost close to his ear, whispering--"Are n''t you coming, Curdie?"
34339Then turning again to the lady--"What does it all mean, grandmother?"
34339Then turning to the miners, he said----"Will you do the best you can for my servants to- night?
34339Then what was it?
34339There was a good bunch of it on the distaff attached to the spinning- wheel, and in the moonlight it shone like-- what shall I say it was like?
34339They did n''t tease her to death, did they?"
34339Was it yesterday?
34339What am I to do with it, please?"
34339What am I to do with it?"
34339What are you doing?"
34339What can it be?"
34339What can you mean?"
34339What could it be?
34339What could it mean?
34339What could that light be?
34339What do you think she saw?
34339What has happened to you?
34339What have you found out?"
34339What more?"
34339What was then to be done?
34339What were they about?
34339What''s that?
34339What''s that?"
34339What''s the matter, my dear?"
34339What''s your name, please?"
34339What_ should_ she do if she lost her hold?
34339Where are their nests?"
34339Where could it come from?
34339Who are you?"
34339Who would turn you away?"
34339Why could n''t I find you before, great- great- grandmother?"
34339Why do we not destroy them entirely, and use their cattle and grazing lands at our pleasure?
34339Why should I tell one that every properly educated child knows already?
34339Why should I, when I know you will not believe me?"
34339Why should he marry an outlandish woman like that-- one of our natural enemies too?"
34339Why should she?
34339Will you all please to go away?
34339Will you malign your native realms and reduce them to a level with the country up- stairs?
34339Will your Majesty order that everybody leave the house as quickly as possible, and get up the mountain?"
34339Would n''t it be better to keep hens, and get bigger eggs?"
34339Would n''t you like to know who I am, child?"
34339Would you like to see my bedroom?"
34339Would you like to see them?"
34339You ca n''t get out, I suppose?"
34339You do believe me now, do n''t you?"
34339You know she''s here, do n''t you?"
34339You remember?"
34339You wo n''t mind sleeping with such a_ very_ young woman, grandmother?"
34339You''ll be sure to take care of yourself, wo n''t you?"
34339do you think I care more for my dress than for my little girl?
34339said her grandmother,"you wo n''t mind coming to me now?"
34339said, her grandmother,"what is the matter?"
34339she added, guiding Curdie''s hand to the thread,"you feel it yourself-- don''t you?"
34339she cried,"wo n''t you believe what I told you about my grandmother and her thread?"
34339where have you been?
34339why do you run so fast?
34339you do believe in my grandmother then?
708''"What''s the good o''that, Sir?"
708''"Where''tis all a hole, Sir, Never can be holes: Why should their shoes have soles, Sir, When they''ve got no souls?"''
708''Ai n''t it yours too, father?''
708''Am I, mother?
708''And what happened after that?''
708''And what if you should?
708''And what more do you see?''
708''And what will you do next, grandmother?''
708''And when shall I see her?''
708''And who makes the chicken broth for you?''
708''And why is n''t it hers now?''
708''And why should the goblins mind you, pray?''
708''And yet you wo n''t believe me, Curdie?''
708''And you do n''t know what they do it for?''
708''And you wo n''t say I''m ugly, any more-- will you, princess?''
708''Are those horrid creatures gone?''
708''Are you a hundred?''
708''But do n''t you hear my grandmother talking to me?''
708''But how did you come to be in my house, and me not know it?''
708''But how did you find your way to me?''
708''But how do you get at the eggs?
708''But how do you make it shine through the walls?''
708''But how ever did Lootie come to let you go into the mountains alone?

708''But what?''
708''But why do n''t we wear shoes like them, father?
708''But why do you think we shall be safe?''
708''But why should our poor creatures be deprived of so much nourishment?
708''But you still think the lode does come through into our house?''
708''But, Curdie,''said his mother,''why should n''t you go with the king?
708''By came a birdie:"Goblin, what do you do?"

708''Just as bad to say nothing at all as to tell stories?''
708''Might n''t I stay and sleep with you tonight, grandmother?''
708''Nor the blue bed?
708''Now, Curdie,''said the king,''what does it mean?
708''Now,''insisted Irene,''you will come and see my grandmother-- won''t you?''
708''Nursie,''said the princess,''why wo n''t you believe me?''
708''Please, Mrs Housekeeper,''said the princess,''will you take me to your room, and keep me till my king- papa comes?

708''You do n''t think I''m doubting my own mother?''
708''You will let me take you to see my dear old great big grandmother, wo n''t you?''
708''You wo n''t be afraid, then, to go to bed with such an old woman?''
708''You wo n''t come up and see my huge, great, beautiful grandmother, then, king- papa?''
708''You''re not afraid of the rose-- are you?''
708''You''re not coming, are you?''
708After the king had eaten and drunk he turned to the princess and said, stroking her hair:''Now, my child, what shall we do next?''

708CHAPTER 4 What the Nurse Thought of It''Why, where can you have been, princess?''
708Can you believe it?
708Could his string have led him wrong?

708Finding no change on the other side,''Shall I ever get back?''
708Had n''t you a handkerchief to wipe your eyes with?''
708How could the king have fallen in love with her?''
708How much wiser will you be then?''
708How was it?''
708I know I''ve had it a long time, but where did I get it?
708Is this what you expected?''
708It was your lamp I saw-- wasn''t it?''
708It''s prettier than anything I ever saw, except those-- of all colours- in your-- Please, is that your crown?''
708May n''t I call this my home?''
708Nor the rose- coloured counterpane?--Nor the beautiful light, like the moon, hanging from the roof?''
708Or was it today, because it was so wet that I could n''t get out?''
708Please will you take me back to her?''
708Shall I carry your little Highness?''
708Shall I go in first?''
708Shall I take you in my arms?''
708She did take you out, and she must have had something to guide her: why not a thread as well as a rope, or anything else?
708Sir Walter, will you take charge of me?''
708Surely you wo n''t have to make another for me?
708That is not much like an old lady-- is it?
708That would n''t be comfortable-- would it?
708The king looked grave And said:''What does my little daughter mean?''
708The king took her on his knee, and she said in his ear:''King- papa, do you hear that noise?''
708Then perhaps you can tell me why my grandmother has brought me here?
708Then turning again to the lady:''What does it all mean, grandmother?''
708Then turning to the miners, he said:''Will you do the best you can for my servants tonight?
708Then what was it?
708There was a good bunch of it on the distaff attached to the spinning- wheel, and in the moonlight it shone like-- what shall I say it was like?
708They did n''t tease her to death, did they?''
708Was it yesterday?
708What am I to do with it, please?''
708What am I to do with it, please?''
708What are you about here?''
708What are you doing?''
708What can it be?''
708What can you mean?''
708What could it be?
708What could it mean?
708What could that light be?
708What do you think she saw?
708What has happened to you?
708What have you found out?''
708What more is my name, Lootie?''
708What more?''
708What should she do if she lost her hold?
708What was then to be done?
708What were they about?
708What''s that?
708What''s that?''
708What''s the matter, my dear?''
708What''s your name, please?''
708When the old lady had got her thread fairly going again, she said to the princess, but without looking at her:''Do you know my name, child?''
708Where are their nests?''
708Where could it come from?
708Who are you?''
708Who would turn you away?''
708Why could n''t I find you before, great- great- grandmother?''
708Why do we not destroy them entirely, and use their cattle and grazing lands at our pleasure?
708Why should I, when I know you will not believe me?''
708Why should he marry an outlandish woman like that- one of our natural enemies too?''
708Why should she?
708Will Your Majesty give orders that everybody leave the house as quickly as possible and get up the mountain?''
708Will you all please to go away?
708Will you malign your native realms and reduce them to a level with the country upstairs?
708Would n''t it be better to keep hens, and get bigger eggs?''
708Would n''t you like to know who I am, child?''
708Would you like to see my bedroom?''
708Would you like to see them?''
708You ca n''t get out, I suppose?''
708You do believe me now, do n''t you?''
708You know she''s there, do n''t you?''
708You remember?''
708You wo n''t mind sleeping with such a very young woman, grandmother?''
708You''ll be sure to take care of yourself, wo n''t you?''
708do you think I care more for my dress than for my little girl?
708said her grandmother,''what is the matter?''
708said her grandmother,''you wo n''t mind coming to me now?''
708she added, guiding Curdie''s hand to the thread,''you feel it yourself-- don''t you?''
708she cried,''wo n''t you believe what I told you about my grandmother and her thread?''
708where have you been?
708why do you run so fast?
708you do believe in my grandmother, then?
