26310''Really, grandmamma,''I said one morning,''what does it matter?
26310''Shall we have tea like this every evening, grandmamma?''
26310''So he is alive and well, I suppose?''
26310''That''s right, my dear; and you''ll show it by giving in cheerfully to whatever your dear grandmamma thinks best for you?''
26310''They are orphans, are they not?''
26310''Vandeleur?''
26310''Was n''t that old lady you lived with before like a grandmother?''
26310''We''ll talk about that afterwards,''said Harry,''it''s your grandmother you should think of now-- what do you mean to do?''
26310''Well, dear?''
26310''What am I to do?''

26310''What do you want me to do, grandmamma?''
26310''What were you saying, my dear?''
26310''Whatever are you doing here, miss?''
26310''Who is it?''
26310''Who-- what?''
26310''Why do n''t we have nice little dinners and teas as we used?''
26310''Will she be in soon?''
26310''Will there be flys at the station?''
26310''Wo n''t you sit down?''
26310''Would you allow Helena to go out to her?
26310''Would you first tell me,''I said,''how Cousin Agnes is?
26310''Yes,''said Harry, opening his eyes very wide,''and-- would you mind telling me who you are?''
26310''You are all alone at home?''
26310''You did not wave to them, either?''
26310''You do n''t seem quite sure about it?''
26310''You see nothing of them from your watch- tower, do you, Helena?''
26310''Your grandmother does n''t know?''
26310And grandmamma, too?
26310And will they ask me to go to their house to tea sometimes?
26310Are you ill-- is anything the matter?''
26310Both their father and mother are dead, are they not, Sharley?
26310But are you quite sure?''
26310But grandmamma looked up, for her, rather sharply--''Why, have you finished upstairs already, Helena?''
26310But how on earth did she let you come away like this alone?
26310But then he added, rather abruptly,''You are not looking well, Mrs. Wingfield?
26310But what in the world were you doing to make such a terrific clatter?
26310But where''s my bath?''
26310But-- in one instant came the dear voice--''Is my darling awake?''
26310Could it be Kezia up still?
26310Could it be grandmamma?
26310Do n''t you think it would be nicer to drive to Moor Court than to walk all that way along the dusty road?''
26310Do you know, my dear Miss Helena, that it has just been touch and go these last days, if she was to live or die?''
26310Do you think it will have hurt her, my peeping into the room yesterday?''
26310Do you think your good Kezia can give me something to eat?''
26310First of all, how do you think Cousin Cosmo, as I was told to call him, had come to write again after all those years of silence?
26310Grandmamma, is it dull to be only one?''
26310Have I been such an ogre to you?''
26310Have you any little girls, and are any of them seven?
26310Have you ever looked back and tried to find out what is really the very first thing you can remember?
26310How could you come away like that?
26310I am sure it is them-- I know the way they jog along so well-- only, grandmamma, they are not waving?''
26310I asked,''or did you write to order one?''
26310I said,''and may I play with them after the lessons are done, do you think, grandmamma?
26310I suppose--''she went on, hesitating a little,''you do n''t know what is the matter with your father?''
26310I was to ask you-- would you like to walk round our garden?
26310Indeed, one could scarcely fancy a''Windy Gap Cottage''anything but fresh and airy, could one?
26310Is that you, little Helena?
26310It is a nice breezy name, is n''t it?
26310It was a good deal about her I did n''t understand?''
26310It was not as if there was time for a good many lessons, granny wrote-- would not Mrs. Nestor let her render this very small service as a friend?
26310Let me see, what can you do with yourself this morning?
26310May I stay to tea to- day?''
26310May I-- do you mind-- if I come in and wait till Kezia returns?''
26310Nestor; you heard my name?''
26310Oh, may I--''but then I stopped short--''may I wear it to- day?''
26310Or is she-- no, she ca n''t be with you, surely?''
26310Should I write to grandmamma and tell her-- that I am very sorry, and that-- that I''ll be good about going to school, if she fixes to send me?''
26310Then Kezia came in--''Miss Helena,''she said,''would you and Master Lindsay mind going into the other room?
26310Then she said--''Do you dislike London so very much, then, Miss Helena?''
26310Was it worth while to go to the expense?
26310Was n''t it nice of granny?
26310What could it be?
26310What do you think it was?
26310What had he written to say?
26310What had put it into his head?
26310What would grandmamma or Mr. Vandeleur think if they came in and found me there?
26310Where have you been, and what have you been doing with yourself?''
26310Why do you call her birthday her"fête"?''
26310Why should n''t Sharley have come to fetch us?
26310You want to know my sisters''names?
26310You will like that, will you not?''
26310You will not mind if I do?''
26310he said,''are you bleeding?''
26310repeated Harry,''nobody knows?
26310she exclaimed, and I think her face cleared a little when she saw me standing there,''you have not hurt yourself then?
26310she said, and again I liked her voice, though I did not exactly think about it,''and are you Mrs. Wingfield''s little girl?''
26310she said,''or"old"?
26310which are you called by, or have you any short name?''
49579An earl,Mr. Havisham went on,"is frequently of very ancient lineage----""What''s that?"
49579And I was the person who was kind to them-- was I?
49579And he''s one of your acquaintances, is he?
49579And what did she say to that?
49579And what else would you do if you were rich?
49579And what would you like to do for him?
49579And what would_ you_ do in such a case?
49579And who is Jake?
49579And why?
49579And you think I must be proud of it, do you?
49579Are we here?
49579Are you going to write him a letter now?
49579Are you quite sure you want me?
49579Are you the Earl?
49579Been neglecting it-- has he?
49579Ca n''t I go myself?
49579Ca n''t they?
49579Can I give it to her this minute? 49579 Can I have it now?"
49579Can you write?
49579D- does it j- jolt y- you?
49579Dearest,he said,"this is a very pretty house, is n''t it?
49579Did you get here, Mary?
49579Did you sleep well?
49579Do n''t you?
49579Do you find it too large?
49579Do you know her?
49579Do you know,he said,"I do n''t know what an earl is?"
49579Do you know,he said,"why I have come here?"
49579Do you like the house?
49579Do you miss your mother very much?
49579Do you think I shall make a good companion?
49579Do you think it will do?
49579Do you think you could do it?
49579Do you wish to see it?
49579Do you?
49579Do you?
49579Do you_ never_ forget about your mother?
49579Does she want me to go out with her, Mary?
49579England is a long way off, is n''t it?
49579Fauntleroy,he said at last,"what are you thinking of?"
49579Glad to see me, are you?
49579Have n''t?
49579He does, eh?
49579He need not go to- night?
49579He will stay with me to- night?
49579How do you do, grand- aunt?
49579How do you do, ma''am?
49579How do you feel?
49579How far is it?
49579I am a very little boy,he said rather wistfully,"to live in such a large castle, and have so many big rooms-- don''t you think so?"
49579I suppose you think you are very fond of her?
49579I suppose,said the Earl,"that you would much prefer that he should not be the Earl of Dorincourt?"
49579In striking contrast to what his grandfather was, eh?
49579Is it Dearest? 49579 Is it Lord Fauntleroy?"
49579Is it because they like me, Dearest?
49579Is it, indeed?
49579Is not that enough?
49579Is there anything you want,the Earl asked;"anything you have not?"
49579It j- jolts a g- goo- good deal-- do- doesn''t it?
49579It seems a pity my birthday was n''t on the Fourth, does n''t it? 49579 It''s a beautiful place, is n''t it?"
49579It''s a very big house for just two people to live in, is n''t it?
49579It''s a warm night, is n''t it?
49579It''s an American game, is n''t it? 49579 May I come here again and talk this matter over?"
49579May I go to Dearest now?
49579May I pull that little table over here to your chair?
49579May I whisper?
49579Mine-- like the things up stairs?
49579Mine?
49579Mr. Hobbs,he said,"do you remember what we were talking about yesterday morning?"
49579Mrs. Errol, I believe?
49579Must I?
49579No?
49579None about female earls?
49579Not-- not to see Dearest?
49579Now,he inquired,"what must I say?"
49579Ristycratic, is it?
49579Shall I be your boy, even if I''m not going to be an earl?
49579Shall I be your boy, just as I was before?
49579Shall I bring you the pen and ink? 49579 Straight- limbed and well enough to look at?"
49579That other boy,he said rather tremulously--"he will have to-- to be your boy now-- as I was-- won''t he?"
49579That''s it, is it? 49579 That''s your opinion, is it?"
49579Tired?
49579Want to get off?
49579Was it you who sent the cat?
49579We always will like it, wo n''t we?
49579We liked this little house, Dearest, did n''t we?
49579Well,he said;"well, Havisham, come back, have you?
49579Well,said Cedric,"we have been friends for a great many years, have n''t we?"
49579Well?
49579Wha-- what did you say your name was?
49579What does his mother think of you?
49579What does it say?
49579What does that mean?
49579What is it? 49579 What is it?"
49579What is it?
49579What is that?
49579What is there?
49579What shall you tell him?
49579What was Mr. Hobbs''s opinion of earls?
49579What would you get for yourself, if you were rich?
49579What would_ you_ do in this case?
49579What''s that?
49579What''s that?
49579What, Molyneux,she said,"is this the child?"
49579Where did you get that?
49579Where''s the child?
49579Where''s your hat?
49579Where,he said,"is Lord Fauntleroy?"
49579Who are they?
49579Who do they belong to?
49579Who is Dearest?
49579Who is your grandfather?
49579Who''s Newick?
49579Whose pony is it?
49579Will it do if I write it? 49579 Will they take Dearest''s house away from her-- and her carriage?"
49579Wo n''t he? 49579 Would he have loved me,"said the Earl dryly,"if you had told him why I did not receive you at the Castle?"
49579Would you like me to help you?
49579Would you like to see it? 49579 Yes,"said Cedric, rather hesitatingly,"and-- and earls; do n''t you know?"
49579Yes,said Cedric;"but just when Mary came for me, you know?"
49579You have, have you? 49579 You think you ca n''t put it off?"
49579You think,said Mr. Hobbs,"there''s no getting out of it?"
49579You_ must_ go and see your mother this afternoon?
49579And then Dick----""Who is Dick?"
49579And then he added:"Well, what is it this morning, Mordaunt?
49579And you see Michael had the fever----""Who''s Michael?"
49579At last he looked up"Does Newick know all about the people?"
49579But you know all about it, do n''t you?"
49579Ca n''t I_ not_ be one?"
49579Can I go and look at it?"
49579Did you tell Dearest that?
49579Do n''t you?"
49579Do you know,"with some delicate hesitation,"that people are sometimes mistaken about earls when they do n''t know them?
49579Do you think it would amuse you, or do you think it would bother you?"
49579Does your foot hurt you very much this morning?"
49579Healthy and well grown?"
49579Higgins?"
49579How big was it?
49579How can I teach him to use it well?
49579How do you feel?"
49579How early in the morning might he get up and see it?
49579How old was it?
49579I do n''t care about the mother; what sort of a lad is he?
49579I do n''t think any people could be better friends than we are, do you?"
49579I say, what''s the matter?"
49579Is Mrs. Higgins well now?"
49579Is it something like cricket?"
49579Is n''t he good?"
49579Is n''t that fine, Ceddie?
49579Is that exactly the right way to spell''interfered''?"
49579Shall I order it to be brought round?"
49579That is just the way you are, is n''t it?"
49579That was right, was n''t it?"
49579The woman is an ignorant, vulgar person, you say?"
49579Then, after a second''s pause, in which his face brightened visibly,"_ You_ can do anything, ca n''t you?"
49579This is a hot day-- isn''t it?"
49579What colour was it?
49579What did it like to eat best?
49579What did you buy with it?
49579What else does an earl do besides being created?"
49579What else?"
49579What else?"
49579What has your news to do with Lord Fauntleroy?"
49579What kind of a lad is he?
49579What was its name?
49579What was the extraordinary event, if I may ask?"
49579What''s the news?"
49579Where''s the mistress?"
49579Where''s your hat?"
49579Who gave them to me?"
49579Who is in trouble now?"
49579Who was Michael?"
49579Whose lie is this?"
49579Why do they belong to me?
49579Why should not that indulgence be used for the good of others?
49579Would you like me to go and get my game and show it to you?
49579You do n''t mean the mother has n''t told him?"
49579You give me_ everything_, do n''t you?"
49579_ Been... he_= Has he been neglecting it?
49579_ Straight- limbed_, hat er seine geraden Glieder?
49579_ Want a shine?_ Stiefel wichsen?
49579_ Want a shine?_ Stiefel wichsen?
49579_ Want_= do you want?
49579he asked;"and ca n''t I go faster?"
49579he cried,"could you believe it?
49579he exclaimed,"d''ye know him yerself?"
49579he exclaimed,"d''ye know him yerself?"
49579he exlaimed,"d''ye know him yerself?"
49579he said, at length,"from the gate to the front door?"
49579he said,"I have been kind to you, have I?"
49579he said;"you want to make a builder of model cottages of me, do you?"
49579said the Earl in his deep voice,"that was one of the things you did for yourself, was it?
49579said the Earl,"you like them, do you?"
49579she said;"will he have to be taken away from me?
48593Am I that Story?
48593And are you Mother Goose?
48593And did she tell you all about the Queerbodies''house and the golden jars?
48593And did you really see that enchanted Prince with your very own eyes?
48593And did you see anything of the big doll that beats you with flails?
48593And did you stop there?
48593And he would do whatever you bade him?
48593And is it still there?
48593And now what will you have as a reward?
48593And the story grandmother forgot-- oh,_ do_ you suppose I could find that story?
48593And what was it?
48593And who lives in the little furry house with the chimneys like pointed ears?
48593And you passed the dragon?
48593And you''ll bring me back word?
48593Are you real, or are you only a dream?
48593Are you really that Fatima?
48593But could n''t you let me see it? 48593 But how about the rhyme?"
48593But how did you happen to come here?
48593But is this magic gold so hard to find? 48593 But what would become of Aladdin and his castle and everything if I did?"
48593But where are they? 48593 But why not?
48593But wo n''t he follow us?
48593But, brother, how can we do that?
48593Ca n''t you unlock it?
48593Ca n''t you use something else?
48593Can everybody that comes here make puzzles like those?
48593Can you hear any sound?
48593Could n''t I go there to find it?
48593Could n''t we go round?
48593Dear Fairy Tale, where are you?
48593Did you come to look for me?
48593Did you ever see a Queerbodies''puzzle when it was finished?
48593Did you say that if you held that lamp and rubbed it a genie would come?
48593Did you want to see me?
48593Do n''t you remember the story begins with a castle where the princess lives?
48593Do you have puzzles like that at home?
48593Do you indeed dare to weave your spells against the queen?
48593Do you mean,said Ellen,"that if you had anything to begin with you could_ really_ make something to ride on?"
48593Do you suppose that is one of the Queerbodies?
48593Do you think we can get there before him?
48593Do you want to go and see mistress?
48593Do you? 48593 Give me a ride?"
48593Has Middling finished his roast beef?
48593Hast thou any further commands?
48593Have n''t you anything in your pocket to begin on?
48593Have you dolls?
48593He frightens me,Ellen whispered back,"but what can I do?"
48593How do you come to be leading it about the country? 48593 How is that?"
48593How would you do it?
48593How?
48593I do n''t suppose your gander could carry double?
48593I suppose you know my story? 48593 I wonder if I were to blow upon the horn the huntsman gave me whether some one would hear and answer?"
48593I wonder if they thought I had come here to steal the lamp?
48593If I were to get a castle for you could you finish the story?
48593Is it not just as I told you? 48593 Is not this the magic gold?"
48593Is that the story?
48593Is there no light before us yet?
48593May I come in?
48593May my gander come in too?
48593Me go?
48593Mistress, did I not beat them well?
48593Mistress, do you see light before us?
48593Mistress,said the gander,"Where is the key that the lady Fatima gave you?
48593Now, what have you been doing?
48593Oh, what''s that?
48593Shall I return it to the castle?
48593Sister Anne, Sister Anne, do you still hear nothing?
48593So then you cooked some porridge?
48593Stringing stars?
48593Then what are you going to do?
48593Then what shall we do?
48593Then what_ am_ I to do?
48593Then what_ are_ we to do?
48593Was that you blowing a horn?
48593We are safe now, but we ca n''t stay here; and how are we to get away without his catching us?
48593Well, is n''t that it there?
48593Well, the great thing now is how are you to get out?
48593What are some of the other tricks he plays?
48593What are some of the things they do?
48593What are you listening to? 48593 What became of it?"
48593What can I do, mother?
48593What did you forget?
48593What did you suppose would live in Mother Goose''s house?
48593What do you mean by coming and disturbing me here in my cave?
48593What in the world''s the matter now?
48593What is a scarecrow?
48593What is it, Jack?
48593What is it, Sister? 48593 What is it, mother?"
48593What is that?
48593What is that?
48593What is this task they have set you?
48593What mischief shall we begin with?
48593What shall I do with the lamp?
48593What story is he in?
48593What was it about?
48593What was that?
48593What was the trick?
48593What wouldst thou have?
48593What''s its name?
48593What''s that?
48593What''s the matter, you poor little pig?
48593What''s this?
48593What_ do_ you mean?
48593Where are we now?
48593Where are you going this pleasant day?
48593Where do you live?
48593Where do you live?
48593Where''s our good dinner of soup and meat?
48593Who are these whom you have dared to bring hither?
48593Who are you, and what do you want here?
48593Who are you?
48593Who caught it?
48593Who is it?
48593Who is there?
48593Who is there?
48593Who is this?
48593Who live in all these other houses?
48593Who lives in the house beyond that?
48593Who lives there?
48593Who was Snowdrop?
48593Why are you here?
48593Why did n''t you say so before? 48593 Why did n''t you see it before?"
48593Why do n''t you make a scarecrow to frighten them away? 48593 Why do n''t you take me up on your wings and fly out of the window?"
48593Why do you say that?
48593Why, granny, do n''t you know the little bear''s voice was so thin and shrill it woke little Silverhair right up? 48593 Why, is that a forgotten story?"
48593Why, one time when our raspberries were ripe old Shave- head came here--"Who''s Shave- head?
48593Why, what is it made of?
48593Why, what is this?
48593Why? 48593 Will you have the golden harp?
48593Wilt thou now have the castle, the treasures, the slaves and horsemen that I promised thee?
48593Would you like to look inside?
48593Wouldst thou not wish to keep it?
48593Yes, but where could you get a castle, you little girl?
48593You are a real child, are n''t you? 48593 You have escaped me this time, but I have as much time to spend as you, and how will it be when you have to come out again?"
48593You naughty little pig, why did n''t you come home?
48593_ Aladdin!_ Do you mean the Aladdin who has the wonderful lamp?
48593After Ellen had looked at them she asked,"Did the goat paint them that way?"
48593Again the same voice within called,"Sister Anne, Sister Anne, do you hear nothing now?"
48593And then you have to come all that long way to get here again?"
48593And what do you want to set about, now that you are here?"
48593And where wilt thou have it?"
48593Are they good to eat?"
48593As the little pig hurried in through the door, Ellen asked of the other,"Is this your house?"
48593But did you come across the desert?"
48593But do you want to make it over?"
48593But hast thou no further wishes?"
48593But how about this lad?
48593But how did you find your way to the door, in the first place?"
48593But how will you get me down?"
48593But the father always wanted to be sure his goat had had enough, so he would go out himself and say,''Goat have you had enough to- day?''
48593But what did your forgotten story look like?
48593But what was all that we saw?
48593But would n''t you like to see it closer?
48593Ca n''t you remember?
48593Can you tell me anything about it?"
48593Did he come on the gander too?"
48593Did they think they could scare us with that?
48593Do n''t you think I look like the pictures?"
48593Do n''t you think he would let me look at it?"
48593Do n''t you?"
48593Do you know whether they''re cross giants or not?"
48593Do you see all these doorways?"
48593Do you think they''ll hurt us?
48593Every time before the boy brought the goat home he would ask,''Goat, have you had enough?''
48593Have I sent three sons packing from their father''s house and frightened a bear from his cave to be ordered out of my house at last by some pigs?"
48593Have you ever seen a bird after a little butterfly?
48593How do you suppose there could be rhymes unless there was something to make them about?"
48593How long is it since it was forgotten,--this story that you want?"
48593How_ can_ I destroy it?"
48593I guess I''ve been forgotten, have n''t I?
48593I meant are they pleasant, merry people?"
48593I punished him well for it, but what good did that do?
48593I suppose you''ve heard of Bluebeard, have n''t you?"
48593If you live near here would you mind taking care of him and seeing that he gets food and water?"
48593Is it your goat?"
48593Is that your gander?
48593Now you do n''t happen to have such a thing about you as a twig or a chip of wood?"
48593Only, how would you get there?
48593Or what?"
48593Or will you have a bag of golden money?
48593Presently she asked,"How many brothers have you?"
48593Queer looking house is n''t it?"
48593Shall I tell you the story?"
48593Suddenly a voice beside her said,"Why do you weep so bitterly, Princess?"
48593The slaves now rose from the ground with a relieved look,"And you are really not a magician?"
48593Then she asked,"Where do you live?"
48593Then,"Are you,--are you the forgotten Story I came to find?"
48593There Ellen knocked and a rough voice within asked,"Who is that knocking at my door?"
48593There was a moment''s silence, and then a voice within called,"Sister Anne, Sister Anne, did you hear anything?"
48593What are you doing here, child?"
48593What are you going to do with it?"
48593What did he do?"
48593What for?"
48593What was it, little Clara?
48593What was it?
48593What was it?
48593When she had reached that point she would stop and say,"Ah, what was it that came next?
48593Where did you come from, and where are you going?
48593Where did you get it?"
48593Who is there?"
48593Why did they shut the door?"
48593Will you let me see it?"
48593You wo n''t go away and leave me here alone again, will you?"
48593You''ll stay made up now, wo n''t you?"
48593[ Illustration]"Was that a parade that just went away?"
48593_ Chapter Eight__ Bluebeard''s House_"Mistress, do you see that gray mist before us?"
48593_ Do_ you suppose it''s there?"
48593he said to Ellen, looking at the pig with pride,"how is that for a riding- horse?"
36166''_ He._ Did she hit you on the toe?''
36166And the other traveller? 36166 And what will happen next?
36166And where might down there be?
36166And who do you think has made her cry?
36166And will you remember it to- day?
36166And you are going to be a good little boy now, darling?
36166And you wo n''t forget your Briggs?
36166And you''ll write me a nice letter, wo n''t you, Master Chris?
36166And you''ve wroten down the place what you live at?
36166Are you cross, Briggs?
36166Are you far from home?
36166Are you going to scold me?
36166Are you quite, quite sure?
36166Are you the lady what''s coming to live with my Granny?
36166Are you very ill, my Granny?
36166Are you?
36166As beautiful as Jacky?
36166As old as my Granny?
36166Better than me?
36166But do n''t you see, my pet,Granny said, more calmly;"do n''t you see what rude questions you asked Dr. Saunders?
36166But how is it that you are walking? 36166 Dear, dear, is it possible?"
36166Did I make a noise and tire my Granny, and was I a naughty boy?
36166Did he belong to a_ girl_?
36166Did n''t I tell you her name was Eliza? 36166 Did you look everywhere, Briggs,--everywhere?"
36166Did you think it was?
36166Do horses groan when they break their legs?
36166Do n''t you see? 36166 Do n''t you think that it is silly for a big boy like me to be Sue?"
36166Do you know it?
36166Do you like her?
36166Do you love her very much?
36166Does a lady?
36166Even Briggs?
36166Granny,he began immediately,"is''_ For he''s a jolly good fellow_'', that Uncle Godfrey sings, a wicked song?"
36166Have I been a good boy?
36166Have I been naughty?
36166Have n''t you ever heard that the moon is made of green cheese?
36166Have you been naughty, Master Chris?
36166Have you ever had a fly in your ear, Granny?
36166Have you ever read this before, Chris?
36166Have you looked along the road?
36166Have you looked over the house? 36166 He said I was, did n''t you?"
36166He swallowed one-- that left how many?
36166His is a happy disposition, is it not?
36166How beautiful?
36166How can the doctor''s head not be on his shoulders?
36166How could you be so thoughtless, so forgetful as not to search the garden before you went into the road?
36166How did you come to speak to him?
36166How do you expect to write well if you sit on my knee?
36166How do you like that?
36166How far off is that?
36166How shall everyone know, then, that it is broken?
36166I could n''t call him''Black Prince''if I made him brown, could I? 36166 I say, who do you think has made her cry?"
36166I want to know,she said, the sound of her voice coming nearer;"I want to know if you can tell me where your hats are?
36166If you please, mum, what am I to do about Master Chris''s lessons? 36166 Is he quite well and safe, quite well and safe?"
36166Is it?
36166Is that all?
36166Is that the doctor?
36166Is there no inn near at which I could find some sort of conveyance?
36166It is a funny name, is n''t it?
36166It was n''t quite right; was it, Miss Baggerley?
36166It''s nothing naughty, is it?
36166Just like a real soldier?
36166Master Chris, where are you?
36166May I have some red jam for my tea to- day?
36166May I have sugar- candy for my cough instead of barley- sugar,''cause I''ve eaten so much barley- sugar?
36166May Jack do lessons too? 36166 Must I go into the corner, my Granny?"
36166Must I?
36166My darling, how can I possibly tell you?
36166My dear,she said to me,"will you kindly go and see if he is ready?
36166Now, how do you think I am to get on with my writing whilst you chatter like this?
36166Now, look here,said Uncle Godfrey, when Chris returned with the gun,"did n''t I tell you that it was very dangerous to hold a gun like that?
36166Now, what shall we do?
36166Oh, Briggs, what do you want?
36166Oh, Chris, my darling, what have you been doing?
36166Oh, Granny, how can you tell me a story when you''re asleep?
36166Oh, my darling, why did you ask me to let you read it now?
36166Only in the legs,added Chris,"''cause it would be unkind to kill them really, would n''t it?
36166Quite well? 36166 Said what?"
36166Shall I be well enough to run my hoop to- morrow?
36166Shall I have a holiday now?
36166Shall I kiss my Granny?
36166Shall I tell you what it means?
36166Shall I write down all the things you want to know, and all the things I want to know, and everything?
36166Shall we play something else?
36166Sometimes Briggs asks you sums out of her head, does she?
36166Surely, Chris,I said, coming into the night- nursery,"you knew that you had no business to repeat to Dr. Saunders what Briggs said to me?"
36166Tell you a story? 36166 The Queen''s soldier?"
36166The little girl-- or what?
36166The youngster disappeared? 36166 Then how old?"
36166Then what happened to poor Eliza?
36166Then why did you ask me?
36166Then, Miss Beggarley,he asked, with the air of one making the best of an unpromising state of affairs,"will you tell me a story?"
36166Uncle Godfrey does n''t wear velvet clothes, and why should I?
36166Uncle Godfrey, do you know what?
36166Was I very naughty?
36166Was n''t Jack a naughty little dog?
36166Was poor Eliza drownded? 36166 Well, how else?
36166Well, now, what shall I ask you?
36166Well, one day, I am sorry, very sorry to say, Eliza--"Was that the little girl''s name?
36166Well, supposing,Chris persisted;"how would the half- fly fly away then?"
36166Well, what is it?
36166Well,I heard him continue, after having passed through the day- nursery to the one beyond;"well, and how are we to- day?"
36166What are you doing?
36166What can the darling be bringing me?
36166What colour?
36166What did I tell you this morning?
36166What do you do with your head when it is n''t on your shoulders?
36166What do you mean by being so disobedient? 36166 What do you mean?"
36166What do you think?
36166What do you want, Briggs?
36166What has happened now?
36166What has happened? 36166 What has he been saying?"
36166What have you forgotten, Briggs?
36166What is it? 36166 What is it?
36166What is it?
36166What is it?
36166What is the matter, Chris?
36166What is the matter, dear?
36166What is the matter?
36166What is the matter?
36166What is the meaning of your behaviour, sir?
36166What is your other?
36166What is''chokee''?
36166What made him think of that jingle?
36166What man?
36166What mischief have you been up to this time?
36166What nonsense are you talking?
36166What shall we do?
36166What shall we do?
36166What was his name?
36166What was it, my pet?
36166What was the end? 36166 What will you do, my pet?"
36166What, not gone yet?
36166What?
36166What?
36166What?
36166What_ has n''t_ happened, and what_ has n''t_ he been doing?
36166When I get better will you play horses with me? 36166 When I go to heaven, will God give me some stars if I ask Him very much?"
36166When may I be a soldier?
36166When shall I be out of the nursery?
36166When will the doctor come?
36166Where can my head be except on my shoulders?
36166Where did you hurt yourself, my dear child?
36166Which of the two horses has the least work?
36166Who said that?
36166Why did n''t I think of that at once? 36166 Why did the fly go to the oil?"
36166Why do n''t you begin, Granny?
36166Why do n''t you put a little by his crib?
36166Why does she want to go to sleep? 36166 Why must I?"
36166Why not?
36166Why what is the matter?
36166Will I never come back to her again?
36166Will it take long?
36166Will my Granny never, never be able to speak again?
36166Will she always be never able to talk?
36166Will you be a lame horse when you play, or a well horse?
36166Will you be so kind as to see that Chris stays in the corner for a quarter of an hour? 36166 Will you look under the bed, my dear, and see if he is there?"
36166Will you play at horses? 36166 Would I?"
36166Would n''t it be as well to let Mr. Wyndham know?
36166Would you like a story?
36166Yes?
36166You say you have looked carefully in the garden?
36166A little dialogue?"
36166And I''m going to play at horses; are n''t I, Miss Beggarley?"
36166And Master Chris was naughty?"
36166And did you not think how insulting, how very insulting it was to ask him such a question?
36166And where did her father and mother call to her from?
36166Anything more, my little man?"
36166Are we so fond of medicine?"
36166Are you quite sure?
36166As I entered he looked up at me for a moment with a preoccupied expression, then said mysteriously:"Miss Beggarley, what do you think I am doing?"
36166But I may shoot their legs, so that they can be caught, and ca n''t run away; may n''t I?"
36166But we''ll say no more about it, for I think you are sorry; are you not, my Chris?"
36166But you understand what I mean, do you not?
36166Can not you guess what that answer would be?
36166Chris worked on for a few moments without speaking; then asked:"Miss Beggarley, what colour are moons gennerly?"
36166Could Chris''s questions have anything to do with Briggs''remarks of the previous evening?
36166Did she get out?
36166Did she?"
36166Did you not understand that?
36166Did you not understand when Briggs said that he had no head, she meant that he had a bad memory, my child?
36166Do boys''lessons always make old people sleepy?"
36166Do n''t you agree with me?
36166Do you hear?"
36166Do you know what kind of pudding it is?"
36166Do you not think that it would be a good plan if we were to go?"
36166Do you remember now?"
36166Do you think if I go to him he will make me a soldier for the Queen?"
36166Does not my pet see what his Granny means?"
36166Eight flies?
36166For is not our love the greatest when it is the most unselfish, when it is purified by self- sacrifice, as"gold that is tried in the fire"?
36166Had not I heard a suggestion made by a naughty, struggling little mortal being carried back to bed against his will?
36166Have you ever heard of a horse called''Brown Prince''?"
36166He ate another?"
36166How long ago is it, Briggs?
36166How many flies were left to fly away?"
36166How old are you?"
36166How would that do?"
36166I''ll be the coachman, but I wo n''t make you run fast,''cause it would be very cruel of me if you had a stone in your foot; would n''t it?"
36166Ill- success was so plainly written upon it, that our anxious question,"Have you found him?"
36166Is he not?"
36166Is n''t it a beufferfull gun?"
36166Is n''t it just like the pet to think of it?"
36166Is n''t it kind of my Uncle Godfrey?"
36166Is that the way for a young gentleman to speak?"
36166Jack swallowed one-- yes, he swallowed one, he ate another-- let me see, how many flies did I say?
36166Let me see, what shall it be?"
36166May n''t I?"
36166Miss Baggerley, my dear, would you be so kind as to see if you can find out my mistake?"
36166Must n''t he, Granny?"
36166Now middle- aged-- yes, I called myself middle- aged, though I daresay you at the age of eight, ten, fourteen( what is it?)
36166Now must I do my sums?"
36166Now, frankly, do n''t you agree with my view of the case?"
36166Now, how have I gone wrong?
36166Oh, fly, fly, why do you go to the oil?"
36166Presently he asked:"Do you like the stars?
36166Presently he asked:"What colour shall I make this horse?
36166Right from the house?
36166Shall I be Sue, my Granny?"
36166Shall I make him black?"
36166She looked at Jack for a moment as she spoke, who blinked back at her inquiringly, as if to ask,"What are you all talking so much about me for?"
36166So will you be the lady, and me the gentleman?"
36166That will serve as a warning to him in the future; wo n''t it, my dear?"
36166The golden farthing and everything?"
36166Then I was asked wearily:"Is it nearly time for me to come away?"
36166Then as I did so, she would cry coaxingly:"Are you hiding there, my pet, trying to frighten poor Granny?
36166Then he inquired:"Uncle Godfrey, may I shoot some wicked men?"
36166Then thoughtfully:"How did the half- fly fly away, my Granny?
36166Then turning to me:"I fear you are ill. Shall I send for my mother''s maid?"
36166Then, as Chris''s absence struck her, she inquired fearfully:"Has anything happened to Master Chris?
36166Then, for the first time becoming fully aware of his very unkempt condition,"What have you been doing, my darling?"
36166Then, how many were left to fly away?"
36166There was a pause, then:"Shall I tell you a story?"
36166Was he indulging in one of the tricks of which Briggs had forewarned Granny?
36166Was it not so?"
36166Was n''t I a good boy?"
36166Was not the carriage at the station to meet you?"
36166Was that how it happened?"
36166We could n''t be better, could we?"
36166What could have become of the little beggar?
36166What do you say, Master Chris?"
36166What foolish thought made you ask such questions?"
36166What have you been doing?"
36166What if anything should happen to the child on the way?"
36166What shall it be about?
36166What''s your name?"
36166When did you last see him?
36166Where are your lesson- books?"
36166Where could he have hidden himself, thus to escape this vigilant search?
36166Where did you meet her?"
36166Where is the child?
36166Who do you think it is?"
36166Who is gone?"
36166Why did you forget to leave the''scription for my tonic yesterday?"
36166Why do n''t you put him on the ground?
36166Why do you cry so?
36166Why is he not with you?"
36166Will you play at trains?"
36166Would I be a good boy if I did?
36166Wyndham?"
36166You have doubtless seen that for yourself already, have you not?
36166You see that, my darling, do n''t you?"
36166he exclaimed,"and what did she mean?"
36166he inquired anxiously;"and did Rover help her?
36166pet?"
36166she exclaimed in horrified amazement;"what next, I should like to know?
36166she exclaimed with surprise;"and what do you mean by saying you met Miss Baggerley?
36166she exclaimed,"is that a way for a nice young gentleman to speak?"
36166she said, kissing him;"and you''ll send her a letter sometimes?"
36166we will say no more,"she exclaimed, forgivingly;"for you are sorry, my pet, are you not?"
36166what''s the matter?
36166where are you off to?"
36166why are you going so slowly?"
36166you say with some surprise,"and you were crying a little while before?"
20963''A guinea, two guineas?'' 20963 ''An inn?''
20963''And is that all your luggage?'' 20963 ''And oh, Mary, what about the noise?
20963''Are you going away, grandmother?'' 20963 ''Are you rested?''
20963''Are you sure everybody''s been asked?'' 20963 ''Asleep?''
20963''Berkeley,''he said gravely,''have you forgotten what I said to you two or three days ago?'' 20963 ''Berkeley,''he said, in his nervous, jerky fashion,''that is not the_ proper_ way from your schoolroom to chapel, is it?''
20963''Berkeley,''it said,''you are Berkeley of the 300th, are n''t you? 20963 ''But how could I go?''
20963''But how did you find out where he had been?'' 20963 ''But suppose it is a_ mad_ dog?''
20963''But, Mary,''I said, pausing in my occupation of putting on my stockings,''are you still thinking of taking this house?'' 20963 ''Ca n''t we be in time?
20963''Do the tops of the beds in Paris ever come down?''
20963''Do you know, Nelly,''she said,''queer things happen sometimes that one would be half inclined to put down to fairies if one did not know better?'' 20963 ''Do you mean that you are frightened, Laura dear?''
20963''Frogs or mice, I know,''but indeed I do n''t know,said grandmother;"why should I wish to turn my boy and girl children into frogs and mice?"
20963''Is n''t it dreadful, Mary?'' 20963 ''Is that the new junior?''
20963''Is that the old house with the terraced garden?'' 20963 ''Laura dear,''she said gravely,''did you say your prayers last night?''
20963''Mary,''I whispered, surprised and somewhat annoyed at my sister''s calmness,''are you going to let her go away? 20963 ''My dear Hugh-- is it you?
20963''Oh, he_ does_ know me then?'' 20963 ''Report me?''
20963''Then the driver,''I said;''could n''t he stay somewhere downstairs? 20963 ''Then why are you so terrified?
20963''To leave us-- thou, our only girl-- to go away to that great Paris, where one is so wicked-- where none would guard thee or care for thee? 20963 ''Well, Berkeley-- glad to see you-- what can I do for you?''
20963''What could be much worse?'' 20963 ''What does it matter?
20963''What has bon papa been saying?'' 20963 ''What have I done,''I said to myself,''to be looked at as if I were wicked and ungrateful?
20963''What is true?'' 20963 ''What?''
20963''What_ shall_ we do?'' 20963 ''Where are we?
20963''Which Grange, Miss? 20963 ''Yes; did you ever see such a specimen?''
20963''You do n''t mean to say it_ is_?'' 20963 ''Your dog?''
20963And Didier, Marie?
20963And I do n''t_ want_ you to die, grandmother dear, do I? 20963 And I think so too,"said Sylvia,"Do n''t you, Ralph?"
20963And are you disappointed that it is n''t?
20963And did the small- pox not spoil your beauty, Marie?
20963And did you grow finer and finer too, Marie?
20963And grandmother, please,said Sylvia,"may Molly and I go out with Marcelline this afternoon to do some shopping?
20963And my mother said gently,''How could''st thou ask such a thing, Marie?''
20963And the stories would be beautiful if I told them-- eh, Molly?
20963And was he put in prison?
20963And what am I to talk about?
20963And what did she say?
20963And what did your grandmother say? 20963 And what does he do it for?"
20963And what then, my dear?
20963And what were you all so busy chattering about when I interrupted you just now?
20963And when, oh, when will you read it?
20963And where are the three others?
20963And why can not my little girl ask it without all those shakes and''bothers?''
20963And why in such a hurry?
20963And you never heard any more noises?
20963Are n''t you ready for tea? 20963 Are they_ the_ apples?
20963Are you-- can you be-- Henry the Fourth?
20963Are you?
20963But how did you hear it? 20963 But suppose she was n''t nice?
20963But the apple- tree did n''t?
20963But what about, my dear child?
20963But what is it?
20963But what, dear?
20963But what_ was_ he doing?
20963Ca n''t you tell it us to- night then, grandmother dear?
20963Carrying wood?
20963Could n''t I read it for you, mother dear?
20963Did he ever come back again?
20963Did he never come home from the Crimea?
20963Did it do well?
20963Did my_ uncle_ buy it?
20963Did she die?
20963Did the road wind uphill all the way? 20963 Did you also make friends with him?"
20963Did you ever try one on, grandmother?
20963Do n''t you know?
20963Do you remember what made me call him a cad? 20963 Do you see it in my eyes?"
20963Do you, my darling?
20963Forgive you, dear? 20963 Grandmother dear,"she said gently,"was n''t the old lady_ dreadfully_ sorry when she heard he was dead?"
20963Grandmother''s arm was round me in a moment, and her kind voice saying,''Why, what is the matter, my little Nelly?'' 20963 Grandmother, will you forgive me?"
20963Had you all those?
20963Has she been a long time with you, grandmother dear?
20963Have you so much to do, my dear little girls, that you have n''t room in your minds to remember even this one thing?
20963How could any stories ever be written if people went on about them like that?
20963How could we_ possibly_ get lost here?
20963How do you do, my dear? 20963 How many are broken then?"
20963How many brooches in all have you, Molly?
20963I am glad you think so, grand- daughter dear; and now, what about going to bed? 20963 I mean, what did you like best?"
20963I wrote a note, where is it?
20963I?
20963If you are not the picture, who are you then?
20963Is Mademoiselle looking for the little demoiselle?
20963Is he a naughty boy? 20963 Is he a poor boy?"
20963Is he-- are his people so very poor that he has to do it? 20963 Is my father thinking of buying it?"
20963Is not a little old lady like me equal to taking care of you all?
20963Is that the superlative of''very pleased,''my dear Molly?
20963It was the pleasantest of old houses; and oh, we were sorry to leave it, were n''t we, mother?
20963Might Mademoiselle wait there? 20963 Might she send them up to the house?
20963Molly, my dear, what are you staring at so? 20963 My dear child, what_ do_ you mean?"
20963My dear child,said grandmother, who, tired of waiting, just then made her appearance in their room,"what have you been doing?
20963Nine kilomètres; between five and six miles? 20963 Not so young as you have been, grandmother dear?"
20963Of course not-- how could a big town be built in a day? 20963 Oh, Molly, how can you be so silly?"
20963Oh, by the by, children, where are your letters for your father? 20963 Shall I run up and tell her to come down?"
20963Shall I run with it to grandmother?
20963Shall we all be like that, grandmother dear, when we get old?
20963So I am_ really_ to be''grandmother dear,''to you, my dear funny little girl?
20963Then how is it you have so many more things to keep in it than Sylvia?
20963Then you did take the Grange, aunty?
20963They just_ what_?
20963To go where?
20963Uncle Jack who was killed in the Crimea?
20963Une petite fille comme Mademoiselle?
20963We were walking through a very narrow street, I was telling you-- was I not? 20963 Well, Ralph, and what have you been doing with yourself?"
20963Well, and if I did,he said somewhat gruffly,"a fellow may be mistaken, may n''t he?
20963Well, my boy?
20963Well, my boy?
20963Well, tell us_ about_ your grandmother: what was she like? 20963 Well?"
20963Well?
20963Well?
20963What are you saying, my dear?
20963What are your pet wishes, children?
20963What called me back? 20963 What can he have been doing that for?"
20963What did she mean, then, do you think?
20963What did you do with them yesterday when you came in?
20963What did you like when you were little, grandmother?
20963What do all those stars mean?
20963What do you mean, Ralph? 20963 What do you think?"
20963What is it about, grandmother? 20963 What is it?"
20963What is the little story about?
20963What is the matter now, my dear?
20963What is the matter, dear?
20963What is the story of Marie''s apple- tree, grandmother?
20963What nice funny things grandmother says, does n''t she, Sylvia?
20963What place?
20963What shall I do?
20963What shall we do to- morrow? 20963 What was that, grandmother?"
20963What were the private reasons? 20963 What would you have it?
20963What''s the good of muddling up what I say, and making my head feel_ so_ uncomfortable when you know quite well what I_ mean_? 20963 What_ can_ I call aunty, unless I say she''s a very jolly fellow?"
20963What_ could_ the child have had in her head?
20963What_ will_ Walter think of us,said aunty piteously, referring to the children''s father,"if we begin by losing one of them?"
20963What_ would_ we have done if she had been very tall and stout, and fierce- looking, with spectacles and a hookey nose?
20963When you ca n''t find your gloves, because you did n''t put them away carefully, is it the fault of the shape of the chest of drawers?
20963Where is Stéfanos, Marie?
20963Where was I?
20963Which is n''t yet begun-- eh, Molly?
20963Who are you?
20963Who is he? 20963 Who was it that took a box of matches in her pocket to Holyrood Palace, and was going to strike one to look for the blood- stains on the floor?
20963Whose drawer is this?
20963Why are you so frightened, Mademoiselle?
20963Why did you leave it, grandmother dear?
20963Why do n''t you say something too, Ralph?
20963Why do they call it''Salle Henri II.?'' 20963 Why?
20963Will you really come too, dear grandmother?
20963Wo n''t you explain to them, mother?
20963Yes, grandmother,said Ralph, looking rather abashed,"do n''t you remember, grandmother-- the day I called Prosper de Lastre a cad?
20963You both forgot?
20963You never saw your uncle Jack, of course; has your father ever told you about him?
20963You ran down to the lodge to see the soldiers passing; do n''t you remember, just when you had half taken off your things?
20963You remember my calling one of the boys in my class a cad-- what Molly began about last night?
20963_ All?_exclaimed Sylvia.
20963_ As you broke them?_repeated grandmother.
20963_ Ca n''t_ you tell it to us to- night then, grandmother dear?
20963_ Did_ I, my dear boy?
20963_ I_ thought of something that would make a great lot of people happy, if you and aunty would do it, grandmother dear?
20963_ Mind_, my Ralph? 20963 _ Mother!_ how did you find out what I was doing?"
20963_ WHERE_ IS SYLVIA?
20963_ Where_ is Sylvia?
20963_ Would_ I, grandmother dear?
20963''Are these all your clothes?
20963''Dead?''
20963''Do n''t you, grandmother?''
20963''I mean, what is the_ good_ of saying your prayers if you do n''t believe what you say?''
20963''I think it is a delicious house, do n''t you, Mary?''
20963''Is n''t it_ awfully_ cold?
20963''It is dreadfully cold, is n''t it?''
20963''Laura dear, what has made you so nervous all of a sudden?''
20963''Oh yes-- what is the matter, Laura?''
20963''Shall I go back with you to Kadikoi?
20963''That dear boy?''
20963''There could n''t be any one as nice, could there?''
20963''Was Sawyer ill?''
20963''Were we at Ryeburn together?''
20963''What was this something?''
20963''Why did n''t you bring us here past the Grange?
20963''Why not?''
20963''Will you tell me why?
20963''You wo n''t make me take it back to the old man?
20963***** Will_ you_ answer little Molly''s question, children dear?
20963--''But we can lock the door from the tapestry room into the passage, from our side, ca n''t we?''
20963A beautiful feeling, but strange too, you know, Sylvia?
20963A franc-- half a franc-- how much was equal to a sixpence or a shilling?
20963A little demoiselle dressed like Mademoiselle?
20963An old woman like me, can I have much influence with a boy?
20963And Molly, my dear little girl, why can you not learn to be more considerate?
20963And how are we to get to them?
20963And how far to the Grange?''
20963And oh, grandmother, will you really forgive me?''
20963And this salmon- coloured satin, with the pea- green slip-- will the stuffs they dye now keep their colour like that a hundred years hence?''
20963And what is your name?
20963And, Ralph, we might think of something for a little Christmas present for her, might we not?
20963And_ is n''t_ my plan a good one?"
20963Are n''t you awfully hungry, Sylvia?"
20963Are you not delighted?
20963Besides, what was there to see?
20963Boys are aggravating creatures, are they not?
20963But how was this?
20963But is n''t she nice?"
20963But tell me now what was in your mind, Molly?
20963But the dear ladies have not been anxious about her?
20963But the next time you make a plan for teaching yourself any good habit, talk it over with me first, will you, dear?"
20963But those people who have n''t learnt when they were little, they ca n''t teach others, grandmother, when they do n''t know themselves?"
20963But why should I be grumpy?
20963But, grandmother dear,"she went on,"would you mind telling me one thing?
20963Can you fancy this house ever feeling_ home- y_, Mary?
20963Dear me, is this a new fashion?
20963Did he ever tell anybody?
20963Did she hear it?''
20963Did she scold you?"
20963Did you ever hear anything so strange, Nelly?''
20963Did you ever hear of it?"
20963Did you never hear of old Alderwood Grange?"
20963Did_ you_ like lessons when you were little, grandmother dear?"
20963Do n''t you think the one to the south with the crimson curtains will be best for father?''
20963Do you intend to make a joke of what you should be so ashamed of, your own carelessness?"
20963Do you know what''tact''is, Molly?
20963Do you know, Sylvia?
20963Do you remember me, Berkeley?''
20963Do you understand at all better, dear?
20963Does he not do his lessons well?"
20963For you see we owe you some reparation for indirectly forcing you to leave Ryeburn-- you might have risen there-- who knows?
20963Had her thoughts of him this very afternoon been a sort of presentiment of evil?
20963Has my voice no weight with you?
20963Have you not got hold of the wrong end of the story, Molly?"
20963How could there be two little demoiselles,"tout- à- fait pareilles?"
20963How could there be two''tout à fait pareils''?"
20963How did you get down?"
20963How did you get on at school, to- day, Ralph?"
20963How do you know what poor Mr. Sawyer said to himself when he was alone in his room that day?
20963How far is it from here to East Hornham?''
20963How is it it is so much smaller than Sylvia''s?"
20963How it will be in heaven I wonder often-- for friends so changed to meet again?
20963How much more is there?"
20963How was it that she could not manage to keep the resolutions so often and so conscientiously made?
20963How-- how much do you think would please the boys?''
20963How_ can_ you, Molly?"
20963Hung round with black and tapers burning?"
20963I cried, more and more angry,''What is it to you what I do?
20963I do not ask you now to say you care for me, you are too young, but I thought you would perhaps learn, but to think of you going away to Paris?
20963I do not wish to make him unhappy, but what can I do?
20963I glanced round at her; she was fast asleep; there was no danger; what harm_ could_ it do for me to take the cup into my hand for a moment?
20963I said to myself, Who could have done more?
20963I suppose his relations are not likely to interest themselves in his protégée?"
20963I think I may trust you with them, may I not?"
20963If it had n''t been, how would grandmother have known about it?"
20963If it is fine this afternoon,"he added,"may I stay out later?
20963Is he in the house, do you know?''
20963Is he too in the army?''
20963Is my cap crooked?"
20963Is n''t it nice?"
20963Is there a good crop this year?"
20963It is only seven, but if you are tired?"
20963It was a brave thing to do-- was it not?
20963It was-- did I say so before?
20963Let me see, where was I?
20963Mademoiselle can judge, are not the apples good?
20963Marie, you know how I care for you, how I have always cared for you, you know what I hope may be some day?
20963Molly, by this time almost in tears, remained behind for a moment to whisper to Sylvia,"Is grandmother dreadfully angry, do you think, Sylvia?
20963Now, do n''t they, grandmother dear?
20963Now, is n''t it true, Sylvia, is n''t our grandmother just like a_ real_ one?"
20963Of course I mean can grandmother remember her-- did she know her?
20963Oh dear, oh dear, what_ shall_ I do?''
20963Oh, Mary, what_ shall_ we do?
20963Oh, Nelly, never_ never_ plant that seed, for once it has taken root who can say how difficult it may be to tear it up?''
20963Oh, grandmother dear,"she went on, clasping her hands in entreaty,"just tell me this,_ do_ you ever tell stories?"
20963Oh, grandmother_ dear_, are n''t you glad she''s found?"
20963Please, grandmother dear,_ may_ I have that cup when you die?"
20963Ralph, you''ll sit up with me a little longer, wo n''t you?"
20963Rather like poor Mary, is she not?
20963Shall I pay them an unexpected visit-- eh, Molly?"
20963Shall I tell him to come up to speak to you?''
20963Shall he return in an hour, Berkeley?''
20963Shall we ask grandmother, Sylvia?"
20963She had fallen asleep with her head on the apple- woman''s stall; when she looked round her again where was she?
20963She is getting old, you see, and old people are always fond of talking, they say-- like your poor old grandmother-- eh, Molly?"
20963She is very fond of the little wood up the road, grandmother: shall I go and look for her there?"
20963She shall be called''Marie, shall she not?
20963So each of the three said"Well?"
20963So no wonder that poor Carlo repeated in amazement,"''_ Report_ me?''
20963Supposing anybody''s grandmother died before they were born, then they would n''t ever have had one, would they now?"
20963Sylvia lost in the Louvre"Whose Drawer is this?"
20963Then Sylvia said gently,"Did you tell your father and mother all about it, grandmother?"
20963There was a bag in the carriage-- should he bring it in?''
20963There was no special reason for it, was there?
20963Was grandmother''s own sight, hitherto quite to be depended upon, playing her some queer trick?
20963Was her sight, as well as her hearing, failing her?
20963Was it at that place?"
20963Was n''t she_ dreadfully_ sorry when she heard he was dead?"
20963We met Ralph in the town, and I''m sure he did n''t want us to see him, for what_ do_ you think he was doing?"
20963We never thought we''d have such adventures, did we?
20963We went up to the drawing- room, there was nobody there-- my father went out of the room and called up the staircase,''Mother, where are you?''
20963What can be nicer than a nice grandmother?"
20963What could Miss Wren be talking about?
20963What could be much worse?
20963What did I see?
20963What does he want?''
20963What does it matter to us?
20963What is it called?"
20963What is it?''
20963What shall I do with her?''
20963What shall I do?"
20963What shall we go to see first?"
20963What should I say?
20963What was the''plan''?"
20963What would my feelings have been had I been away in Paris?"
20963What_ is_ the meaning of it?
20963What_ was_ lost upon grandmother?
20963When did he die?
20963When people write stories how do they know all the things they tell?
20963Where could she be?
20963Where had she ever seen this old- world figure before?
20963Where is it, my dear?
20963Where was I?
20963Where_ are_ my gloves?
20963Which house shall we go to see first?''
20963Who is it?
20963Who_ can_ be above it really?
20963Whose could it be?
20963Why not believe it now?
20963Why should my life be given up to the fancies of a foolish old man like bon papa?''
20963Why would people praise me when I did not deserve it?
20963Will you do this?''
20963Will you please forgive me?"
20963Will you try to remember it, Molly?"
20963Will you write to my mother after I am gone, and tell her?
20963You are_ sure_, Miss, you were not dreaming?''
20963You do n''t mind, grandmother?"
20963You may be sure grandmother gave her a present, I rather think it was of a five- franc piece, which was very extravagant of grandmother, was n''t it?
20963You see you''re so much younger, and then I do n''t think anybody_ could_ tell stories like her, could they?
20963You understand it all now?
20963You will keep the cup now?''
20963You would look so beautiful telling stories, would n''t she now, Sylvia?"
20963[ Illustration:''WHOSE DRAWER IS THIS?'']
20963_ Had_ he ever seen him before?
20963_ Will_ you think of some?"
20963_ just_ like her?
20963exclaimed Sylvia and Molly--"oh, grandmother, what_ did_ you do?"
20963exclaimed all the children-- Molly adding,"Had_ you_ ever a grandmother, grandmother dear?"
20963how do you mean, aunty?"
20963is she quite alone in the world?
20963she went on, turning again to her sister,"how_ can_ you talk about dear grandmother dying?
20963to the other two, and stood waiting, as if they were playing the old game of"Who speaks first?"
20963was she like you?"
20963was she seeking some one?"
20963what did you do that for, and where did you get it?"
20963what''s his name?"
