16460 | ''Where did you get that chicken, my lad?'' |
16460 | ''Who can they be?'' |
16460 | ''Who''s that you''ve got next? |
16460 | ''Why do n''t you look after''em better?'' |
16460 | ''Why do you let''em die?'' |
16460 | ''Will the road soon be smoother?'' |
16460 | A book, did you say, in every one of their pockets? |
16460 | And the result? |
16460 | And what did it mean in Ladysmith? |
16460 | Are we to bring him with the others? |
16460 | But how could it be helped? |
16460 | But what mean these little knots of women and children gazing wistfully after the train? |
16460 | But what of the men still at the front? |
16460 | But what were these to guard the treasures of the Diamond City and its population of 50,000 souls? |
16460 | Can I take you in?" |
16460 | Can not I help you? |
16460 | Do I realize what Jesus has done for me? |
16460 | Do n''t be offended, sir, however did that''ere gent get inside that waistcoat?'' |
16460 | Do you know me?" |
16460 | E. Weaver, our indefatigable junior chaplain, visited the prison, he said,''Robinson, what sort of a service did you have on Sunday morning?'' |
16460 | Going up to the lad he said:--''"Are you wounded?" |
16460 | Guardsman, do you call him? |
16460 | How could they resist disease? |
16460 | I went up to him and said,"Are you much hurt, sir? |
16460 | If a few could thus be saved, it was asked, why not many? |
16460 | Jemmie, lad, do you think you could say a prayer for me?'' |
16460 | Lord Roberts merely looked up smiling and said,''Do n''t you see I am engaged?'' |
16460 | Scotland to- day is poorer in men, but richer in heroes? |
16460 | The question that concerns us is, How did our men hold themselves through that awful day? |
16460 | Watson? |
16460 | Well, then, what''s this? |
16460 | What do you think of that?'' |
16460 | What is your trouble?'' |
16460 | What mean these sobs, these tears, this heart- break? |
16460 | What this meant who can tell? |
16460 | What would he do? |
16460 | Who can say what passed in those closing moments, while the life- blood was ebbing away? |
16460 | Who is there to record for us the prayer- meetings held in the British camp? |
16460 | Who knows whether they will ever meet on earth again? |
16460 | Who shall describe how rough men became as gentle women, and how those racked with pain themselves yet tried to minister to the wants of others? |
16460 | Who shall tell the tale of agony? |
16460 | Who that has not seen these Highlanders march can have any idea of their perfect bearing and splendid condition? |
16460 | Who were they-- British? |
16460 | Who''s that in front? |
16460 | You speak to him on the subject''How long did you lie there?'' |
16460 | You thought I liked a good innings, but why should not every blood- bought and blood- washed one be the same? |
16460 | You will ask, why this great sickness and mortality? |
16460 | if some, why not all? |
16460 | sir, when do you think Buller will get through?'' |
16460 | who shall tell the heroism then displayed? |
16460 | you are shaking, are you? |
34907 | A close shave,he adds;"but what matter? |
34907 | And how did you know they were Army Service officers? |
34907 | And tell us now, have ye left us a Gerry at all alive to get a pelt at, and we new at the game? |
34907 | And where''s the good, sir? |
34907 | Hello, Irish,they cried;"how is King Carson getting on? |
34907 | Hello, there; what are you up to? |
34907 | How deep is it with you? |
34907 | How many? |
34907 | If we brained them on the spot, who could blame us? 34907 Is it bad news ye bring, crying in that way?" |
34907 | Tell me what happened,said the commanding officer, when the sergeant came to make his report;"were you surprised?" |
34907 | Well,said the dentist to a Munster Fusilier,"where''s this bad tooth that''s troubling you?" |
34907 | What have you there? |
34907 | What struck me most? |
34907 | What would you call unusual? |
34907 | What would you do if you saw five battleships steaming across the field? |
34907 | Where''s that blessed village we''ve got to take? |
34907 | Where''s the machine''s belt and ammunition? |
34907 | Who will now say that the Germans are not sportsmen? |
34907 | Why do you beat the poor animal so much? |
34907 | Why should the man lose a day? |
34907 | Why so, sir? |
34907 | Will no one come to me? |
34907 | ''Would you like some Irish rebellion?'' |
34907 | A Connaught Ranger, back from such an expedition, related that, hearing the Gerrys talking, he called out,"How many of ye are there?" |
34907 | And in which category must be placed the equally amusing retort of another Irish sentry to his officer-- the naïvely simple, or the slyly jocular? |
34907 | And what of the men as they waited in the assembly trenches for the word? |
34907 | And why not? |
34907 | But can it really? |
34907 | But instead of that the chorus of their song, set to a hymn tune, was this--"Will you fight for England? |
34907 | But were n''t the Dublins in the divil of a hurry back to billets? |
34907 | But, to round off the story, what motive of a material kind would impel the Welsh Regiments to greater military exertions? |
34907 | Did n''t I see their swords stuck behind their ears?" |
34907 | Did n''t the officers tell us before we left the trenches that there was to be no going back?" |
34907 | Even if death should come, what is it but the shadowy gate which opens into life everlasting and blissful? |
34907 | How can you tell that these laughable things are said and done by Irish soldiers without any perception of humour or absurdity? |
34907 | How could it be with stern, black- visaged Death always watching with wolfish eyes to see men die? |
34907 | How could it possibly be repeated? |
34907 | If it was crying they were, would n''t they be roaring and bawling? |
34907 | If they were shot in the attempt, what matter? |
34907 | Is he alone in the whole wide world, the solitary survivor of this terrible war? |
34907 | Is it not better to be funny without knowing it than to suffer the rather common lot of attempting to be funny and fail? |
34907 | Is n''t a miss as good as a mile?" |
34907 | Oh, holy mother of God, where''s my arm?" |
34907 | Shall we say any one of the three inducements mentioned-- pay, grub or grog, or, better still, all of them together? |
34907 | So he wrote,"May we take our wounded man in? |
34907 | Some of them would"get the beck"--the call from Death-- but what matter? |
34907 | The sentry looked so shy and inexperienced that the officer put to him the question,"What are you here for?" |
34907 | There is an ancient Gaelic proverb which says:"What is there that seems worse to a man than his death? |
34907 | Were their comrades slain only a moment since to go unavenged? |
34907 | What could you do in that case, but what I did? |
34907 | What more can one do, it may be asked, than one''s duty? |
34907 | What the mischief was the matter with them, anyway? |
34907 | Whence came these shells? |
34907 | Where was the enemy? |
34907 | Why should He not work also through the agency of the religious emblems of His angels and saints? |
34907 | Will you face the foe? |
34907 | Would any of ye be so kind as to lend me the loan of a hammer?" |
34907 | Would it be possible for them to extricate themselves from the fearful labyrinth in which they were involved? |
34907 | Would there be any of them left for the final dash at their objective? |
34907 | and have you got Home Rule yet?" |
34907 | says he;''what the divil are ye doin''there beside my officer? |
16089 | Can you help me, sir? |
16089 | Did you foresee it? |
16089 | Fattigay? |
16089 | For what can it be intended but to attack England? |
16089 | Have you ever done any machine work before? |
16089 | How many years have we been at war? |
16089 | If I go down to the shed and say:''Girls!--there''s a bit of work the Government are pushing for-- they say they must have-- can you get it done?'' 16089 Is it possible that all this is the work of eighteen months?" |
16089 | Narpoo? 16089 Probably,"I said,"you would like to find the men?" |
16089 | So you are still, in England, taking the war lying down? |
16089 | Was he not,asks a well- known Eton master,"that tall, smiling, strong, gentle- mannered boy at White- Thomson''s?" |
16089 | Well, my boys, you could stick it all right? |
16089 | What country has ever raised over sixty per cent of its total recruitable strength, for service beyond the seas in a few months? |
16089 | What do they think we are about? |
16089 | Why are you so anxious to go to Egypt? |
16089 | Why do n''t they give more Red Crosses to the_ working nurses_? 16089 Will_ they_ come out? |
16089 | You have your passes? |
16089 | You''re Welsh, then? |
16089 | ''And what''ll our men at the front do, if we go holiday- making?'' |
16089 | A more practical religion"lifting mankind again"?--a new St. Francis, preaching the old things in new ways? |
16089 | And the New Armies?--"Kitchener''s Men"? |
16089 | And what are the results? |
16089 | And what of the Dominions? |
16089 | And yet-- was it after all so slow? |
16089 | Are we? |
16089 | Are you yet fully awake-- yet fully in earnest, in this crisis of England''s fate? |
16089 | As to Dilution, it is now accepted by the men, who said when it was proposed to them:"Why did n''t you come to us six months ago?" |
16089 | At the same moment he turned to address a young artillery- officer in the road:"Is your gun near here?" |
16089 | At the same time, what is Great Britain doing_ for her Allies_? |
16089 | But since then? |
16089 | But the war itself-- the deadly struggle of that distant line to which it all tends? |
16089 | But what are we getting for our money? |
16089 | But what of the men, the Armies, for which these munitions are being made and hurried to the fighting- lines? |
16089 | By whom has this result been brought about? |
16089 | Can we keep it up? |
16089 | Compree?" |
16089 | Could any one have made such an omelet without breaking a great many eggs? |
16089 | First-- what have the rich been doing? |
16089 | For what had we paid so sore a price? |
16089 | Hours? |
16089 | Hours? |
16089 | How far are we from them? |
16089 | If not, what sort of relations will shape themselves, and how quickly, between the Central Empires and America? |
16089 | In one of his latest letters, quoted by a friend in a short biography, Robert Palmer wrote:--"Who is n''t weary to death of the war? |
16089 | Is it defects of administration, or a certain"cussedness"in the Scotch character, which resents any tightening of law? |
16089 | Knows what? |
16089 | May n''t they be glad of it some day? |
16089 | Meanwhile, what has Germany been doing in her shipyards all this time? |
16089 | Seafaring, tillage, house- building, horse- taming, so muses Sophocles, two thousand three hundred years ago; how did man ever find them out? |
16089 | Shall I always regret that lost opportunity? |
16089 | The great Allied attack on the West-- was it ready,_ at last_? |
16089 | The shell has sped on its way to the German trenches-- with what result to human flesh and blood? |
16089 | The temper of the nation? |
16089 | Was the return adequate, and not only to our safety, but to our prestige? |
16089 | Was your own vast levy in the Civil War without them? |
16089 | What are these lines of light among the pine woods? |
16089 | What is Dilution? |
16089 | What is it that alone has secured us the time to make the effort we have made? |
16089 | What is the proof of this-- the proof which history will accept as final-- against the vain and lying pleas of Germany? |
16089 | What of the mothers who reared them, the schools and universities which sent them forth?--the comrades who are making ready to carry on their work? |
16089 | What of the_ young_, of all classes and opportunities, who have laid down their lives in this war? |
16089 | What strange moving bodies are those, scudding along over the dim surface, like the ghosts of sea planes? |
16089 | What vast and effective stir, for a great end, was ever made in the world without them? |
16089 | What will happen? |
16089 | When has our naval supremacy ever hurt them? |
16089 | When will they come out?" |
16089 | Where was my friend who had hoped to come for me himself? |
16089 | Where was the boat? |
16089 | Will Germany give way? |
16089 | Will he recover? |
37628 | ''Ow can I keep me''orses fit,he used to say,"if a bloomin''bank clerk goes drivin''''em at a stretched gallop the''ole o''Saturday? |
37628 | ''Ow should I know? |
37628 | Anything happen after I left? |
37628 | Are you certain,I repeated,"that you''ve only got your own telescope and sight clinometer?" |
37628 | Did you pass any of our infantry on your way? |
37628 | Do you know what to- day is? |
37628 | Fuze two-- more_ right_ I said-- damn them, they''re still advancing-- what price the old----th now?... |
37628 | How do you mean, sir? |
37628 | Jolly, is n''t it? |
37628 | Never mind,I replied,"but would it be disturbing your arrangements at all if I watered my horses and gave my men some food here? |
37628 | Nice box- up here, is n''t it? 37628 Steady now-- get back, will yer?" |
37628 | Well,said some one else,"he''s been posted to B sub; why not call him Bilfred?" |
37628 | What do you mean? 37628 What is it, Tony?" |
37628 | What price the news? |
37628 | What the devil have you got there, Tebbut? |
37628 | What the hell shall I do now? |
37628 | What will these keep out? |
37628 | What''s happened here, and where the devil have you been all day? |
37628 | Where have you come from? |
37628 | Who are_ you_? |
37628 | Will I take his place? |
37628 | Wot about yer''orses, Snatty? |
37628 | Yes, sir: but have you seen our oven? |
37628 | You are an officer, are n''t you? |
37628 | You shut yer mouth and get on with yer work,was the rejoinder,"Wot do you know about guns, I''d like to know?" |
37628 | And he made it unmistakably plain that what he meant was:"Do you think I''m such a fool as to let you go? |
37628 | Any letters for me?" |
37628 | At intervals, every half- hour or so, a mighty shout would go up,"Are we downhearted?" |
37628 | But did we"take over"this position? |
37628 | But how soon? |
37628 | But what will happen now? |
37628 | Can you do anything? |
37628 | Could tact have gone further? |
37628 | D''you reckon''e''ll get orl right, sir?" |
37628 | Did you get''em?" |
37628 | Does our escort( twenty armed men under a sergeant) fear a combined revolt, I wonder, or is this done merely to annoy us? |
37628 | Get an orderly, will you, Tony?" |
37628 | He would growl at each one as he groomed him, or scold him as one does a naughty child, and his"Naow_ then_, stand still, will yer, Dawn?" |
37628 | However, the patriotism of the canteen contractor( who, need I say? |
37628 | Is it worth all the trouble, the science, the skill, the organisation? |
37628 | Is n''t that so?" |
37628 | Is there not a derelict railway station less than a mile away, and are not piles of rubble placed along the roadsides for mending purposes? |
37628 | It is as if they said, in so many words,"Who the deuce are you? |
37628 | It was his right, he had earned it by nine months of drudgery-- and who the devil, anyway, he felt, was this old fool to thwart him? |
37628 | Now?" |
37628 | Oats were plentiful-- what else mattered? |
37628 | Our pit could n''t keep the rain out last night-- what''ll it do if a shell comes along?" |
37628 | PART II"AND THE OLD"BILFRED... Fellow- creature I am, fellow- servant Of God: can man fathom God''s dealings with us? |
37628 | See?" |
37628 | Should he hide all the colonel''s clothes and only reveal their whereabouts when the application had been forwarded? |
37628 | Supposing he were to lose half a dozen wagons or thousands of rounds of howitzer ammunition, would his colonel get sent home? |
37628 | The sergeant- major, for instance, who is the personification of respectful efficiency-- what does he think of this infant unit? |
37628 | Then he said slowly:"Are you English?" |
37628 | Then''e suddenly calls out:''Is that there telephone workin''yet?'' |
37628 | Then, after a pause, he added recklessly,"Would you have come back, sir, if you''d been me?" |
37628 | They are happy now because they''re thinking only of to- morrow, but what of the day after? |
37628 | Understand that?" |
37628 | Well, do not the winds that shriek across this flat country blow down trees sometimes? |
37628 | What about them fags, Tom? |
37628 | What of the future of these maimed and broken men? |
37628 | What say to going down the road?" |
37628 | What''s going to happen to- morrow?" |
37628 | When can I join? |
37628 | Which one had they in your brigade when you went over there last night-- the right one or the wrong one?" |
37628 | Why did n''t you tell me that before?" |
37628 | Why not have left the poor devil in his hospital? |
37628 | Will they be remembered or forgotten? |
37628 | Would he stamp his feet and toss his head proudly when he heard of the Greys at Waterloo or the Light Brigade at Balaclava? |
37628 | a husky voice exclaimed,"stand still, will yer, Dawn?" |
37628 | and who knoweth more? |
37628 | did yer? |
37628 | she exclaimed to me in the tones of an anxious mother-- and then added in an excited whisper,"A- t- il vu les Boches, ce petit sous- lieutenant?" |
37628 | some one asked him;"who''s going to''ave them when you''re gorn?" |
37628 | what of the thousands of days after? |
62571 | ''Do you think you could find it?'' 62571 ''What have you got there, sir?'' |
62571 | ''What, looking for money, my lad,''said he,''eh?'' 62571 ''Why do n''t they come on like men,''they cried,''whilst we''ve strength left in us to fight them?'' |
62571 | A distressing circumstance connected with this( shall I confess it?) 62571 Apparently not noticing what I said, he continued his lamentations, and,''Vil you no stop, sare, I say?'' |
62571 | Did you ever see a man so wounded recover? |
62571 | Do you think I am dying? |
62571 | What pen can describe the scene? 62571 ''And why particularly Driver Crammond?'' 62571 ''But what creature turned you out? 62571 ''But where are you going?'' 62571 ''But you will perhaps have the goodness to tell me where you are going yourself?'' 62571 ''Captain Mercer, are you loaded?'' 62571 ''D-- you for a fool,''he said;''what sort of a shot do you call that? 62571 ''Have you no orders?'' 62571 ''What can it mean?'' 62571 ''What is the matter with you, dear?'' 62571 ''Who do you belong to?'' 62571 ''Who turned you out?'' 62571 At length Captain Leech observed her, and called out to the company--''Does any man here know what has happened to Cochan? |
62571 | But was it really a French battery which was wrecking Mercer''s guns? |
62571 | Did He Deserve it? |
62571 | Do you think you are fighting here with your fists that you are running into the teeth of the French?'' |
62571 | Do you think you can retire quick enough afterwards?'' |
62571 | I smiled at his energy, and, pointing to the remains of my poor troop, quietly asked,''How, sir?'' |
62571 | I told him that they were nearly so, and added,''I suppose they wo n''t be wanted, at all events, before to- morrow?'' |
62571 | If French, how came he here to die alone so far in the rear of our lines? |
62571 | Is it necessary to define my sensations? |
62571 | Is it possible that I am not understood at once? |
62571 | Is there nothing in this to excite emotion? |
62571 | It may be asked what impulse sent a youth of this type-- under- sized, lean, frugal, canny-- to a soldier''s life? |
62571 | It struck me that I knew his face, and, turning back, I stopped him, asking if he was not Robert Liston, formerly a corporal in the 95th Rifles? |
62571 | Meeting one next morning, a very little fellow, I asked what had happened to them yesterday? |
62571 | Men began to look into each other''s faces, and ask the question,''Are we ever to be halted again?'' |
62571 | Musther Hills,''I heard him say,''where the d-- l is this you''re taking us to?'' |
62571 | Or, in the mad inevitable distraction of a great battle were the Allied gunners destroying each other? |
62571 | Query-- Who, and what was he firing at? |
62571 | Signed,''& c.,& c."Where is Strytem? |
62571 | The Duke turned roughly upon him,"What the devil do you want, sir?" |
62571 | The usual salutation on meeting an acquaintance of another regiment after an action was to ask who had been hit? |
62571 | The wretches had probably already done mischief elsewhere-- who knows?" |
62571 | Vere is de Dook von Vellington? |
62571 | What could I do? |
62571 | What does each separate human atom feel, when caught in that whirling tornado of passion and of peril? |
62571 | What is all this noise? |
62571 | What was this to a parcel of men who had scarcely eaten a morsel for three days? |
62571 | and for what this sudden move? |
62571 | are we off, sir?'' |
62571 | but on this occasion it was,''Who''s alive?'' |
62571 | do you remember what happened to me at Salamanca?'' |
62571 | he said, as he grasped hold of me,''who the---- do you think is to stay hum- bugging all day for such a fellow as you?''" |
62571 | mine Gott!--mine Gott; vil you no stop, sare?--vil you no stop? |
62571 | no shoes, Harris, I see, eh?'' |
62571 | thought I, where are my ammunition waggons? |
62571 | vat for is dis? |
62571 | vat is it you doos, sare? |
62571 | vere is de Dook von Vellington? |
62571 | what would such as you have done in the Pyrenees?'' |
34188 | ''Are you a minister?'' 34188 ''Can you bury this man?'' |
34188 | ''Canna we sing something first? 34188 ''What do you think the brave fellow did? |
34188 | ''What price this little lot, doctor?'' 34188 ''When did you get this?'' |
34188 | Did you hit him? |
34188 | Have you thought of your own soul? |
34188 | His drawn face lit up with a smile, and he whispered in broken English:''Salvation Army? 34188 Is there a priest here?" |
34188 | My first thoughts were: What is it like; shall I be able to stand the sight of it? 34188 Padre, did you see me at the service last night?" |
34188 | The beauty of it is we are not troubled with fear at all-- who could be in the presence of the Master? |
34188 | Well, what did you do? |
34188 | Well,said the lady,"I suppose you killed your man?" |
34188 | What is his religion-- the dead man? 34188 ''And who will do the schorin''fur the ould tame now? 34188 ''Do you belong to it?'' 34188 ''How many?'' 34188 ''Is n''t it wonderful how quickly this sort of thing tells upon a man? 34188 ''Supposing a shot came for you next,''he said,''how would it be for you?'' 34188 ''This is better than the last time we crossed it, is n''t it, sir? 34188 A recruit was asked,What are you? |
34188 | After all, why should not nations emulate the example of their soldiers? |
34188 | After this who will call parsons cowards? |
34188 | And as the train steams out those brave lads ask again,"Are we downhearted?" |
34188 | And the question is to what sort of a Church will they come? |
34188 | And they? |
34188 | And what about the_ Christian_ soldier? |
34188 | And yet are these nations Christian? |
34188 | Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? |
34188 | Are the people at home praying? |
34188 | Are they conscious of sin within, and of their need of a Saviour? |
34188 | Are they conscious that they have such terrible engines of destruction on board which on occasion they will use? |
34188 | Are they praying for us doing our bit out here, or are they still going on the old way?''... |
34188 | Are we down- hearted? |
34188 | But how did he come by the name Thomas Atkins? |
34188 | But to the ordinary man- of- war''s man has there come an accession of seriousness, such as has come to the men in the sister service? |
34188 | But what will the new army be like? |
34188 | Can I doubt His tender mercy, Who through life has been my Guide? |
34188 | Can you give it to us?'' |
34188 | Church or Catholic?" |
34188 | Do these thoughts ever come to a Jack Tar, and how do they affect him? |
34188 | Does the thought of death affect them? |
34188 | Does the thought of it ever appal them? |
34188 | Down- hearted? |
34188 | Everybody is asking, Where is the Grand Fleet? |
34188 | Fierce is the conflict, the turmoil, and strife; Fraught with such peril, danger so rife, Are we down- hearted? |
34188 | Fortunately the attempt failed, but what profit would it have been if this life- giving ship had been sunk? |
34188 | Has not Germany by its adoption of a false philosophy forfeited the title of Christian? |
34188 | Has there been one lacking in courage? |
34188 | Have the things of eternity become more real? |
34188 | He closes his letter with the verse: All the way my Saviour leads me; What have I to ask beside? |
34188 | He looked down at his shaking legs and said,"You''re shaking, are you? |
34188 | His chum did n''t miss him until we had gone several hundred yards, and then he says,"Where''s----?" |
34188 | How can they march? |
34188 | How did the Christian men spend theirs? |
34188 | How have they borne themselves-- these men who have been transferred from the pulpit to the battle- field? |
34188 | How is it possible that such things could take place in this age of education? |
34188 | How tackle it? |
34188 | I said"a distressing thing,"but is it not a tragedy? |
34188 | I wonder if this is a record for such an institution? |
34188 | Is it not a grim tragedy that men who can thus fraternise on Christmas Day should a few hours after be sending each other to their death? |
34188 | Light- hearted and merry as ever, have they the joy of the Lord? |
34188 | May I first speak of the courage of our chaplains? |
34188 | Not bad for a blood- thirsty Briton, eh? |
34188 | One great shout by hundreds of eager young lads,"Are we downhearted?" |
34188 | Pick them up, will you?'' |
34188 | Presently a voice cries out,''What hymn will you have, men?'' |
34188 | Staff- Sergeant Barlow proceeds to describe his first impressions of this awful work:"What were my first impressions? |
34188 | The question was, Whose name should be put in there? |
34188 | The war will end some day, and then, what then? |
34188 | Then, as an afterthought,''What Ambulance did you say?'' |
34188 | They have seen something, and that something which is responsible for the question they so frequently ask,''What is it like at home? |
34188 | What do we see in the gathering of men under the fo''castle? |
34188 | What does a charge from the trenches feel like to a Christian"Tommy"who is taking part in it? |
34188 | What effect has the imminence of death upon the character of the men? |
34188 | What is the general impression that it leaves? |
34188 | What of them? |
34188 | What wonder after this that we are told that most of the wounds received in those early days were septic on their arrival at the base hospital? |
34188 | When the war broke out, we found ourselves asking,"How will it be with us now?" |
34188 | Where am I to begin? |
34188 | Why? |
34188 | Will it be as susceptible as the old? |
34188 | Will the men still thrill when the Gospel story is told? |
34188 | Will they think only of that, or will their hearts also be"strangely warmed"by tidings of their Saviour''s love? |
34188 | With forty million mouths to feed and only six weeks''supply of food in the country, how will it be with us now? |
34188 | people"and others work? |
34188 | tent? |
34188 | why should I hit him? |
56924 | Abandon my proper rôle for this? |
56924 | If its full strength can be employed in the charge,it"represents, even against troops using the rifle"( what troops? |
56924 | The resistance of a body of equal strength( a body of what? |
56924 | ( 2) If so, should the resulting collision be a shock- collision? |
56924 | And Sir John French? |
56924 | And he comes back to what? |
56924 | And on how many occasions did mounted riflemen, destitute of these weapons, capture transport and guns and rout reserves? |
56924 | And the escort and main body? |
56924 | And the lesson of South Africa? |
56924 | And what kind of Cavalry do our Cavalrymen count upon meeting in our next war? |
56924 | And what of illustrations and examples from modern war? |
56924 | And what of the action of Cavalry against other Arms? |
56924 | And what of the"tenacity and stiffness"with which we must not"seek to endow"Cavalry? |
56924 | And what of these other sorts of fights defined under their various heads? |
56924 | And yet, if you do n''t weaken the firing line, how are you to guard the led horses against attack from some other quarter? |
56924 | But Cavalry acting against Cavalry( supposing, we wonder, they turn out_ not_ to be Cavalry?) |
56924 | But Infantry, riflemen without horses, who can not gallop, but can only run? |
56924 | But can they, in this particular matter? |
56924 | But has nothing notable happened since 1865? |
56924 | But how can detachments, perhaps twenty miles away on the other flank, be said to screen the Cavalry mass? |
56924 | But what has the sword to do with the bayonet? |
56924 | But what is a"locality,"an attack on which is distinguished from a battle of encounter? |
56924 | But why is Sir Evelyn Wood singled out? |
56924 | But why, I asked, could not the act be performed on even one single occasion in three years of war in South Africa? |
56924 | But"Where am I?" |
56924 | But, as I asked at page 121, what has the bayonet got to do with the lance and sword? |
56924 | By whom was the real offensive work done? |
56924 | CHAPTER III THE BRITISH THEORY OF THE ARME BLANCHE AND now, what in Great Britain is the real theory on this question? |
56924 | Can we trace any further this alleged"terror of the cold steel"? |
56924 | Did the 900 troopers of the Imperial Light Horse who carried it out suffer from the lack of swords and lances? |
56924 | Did the presence of the lance and sword on the field of combat make any difference to the result? |
56924 | Did their work compare unfavourably with that of the Cavalry Division, 6,000 strong, in the relief of Kimberley? |
56924 | Do we find that steel- armed mounted troops had greater moral effect upon the enemy than troops armed only with the rifle? |
56924 | Does not the reader feel his brain going when he reads a sentence like this? |
56924 | Have not they fully as much need of those qualities as Infantry? |
56924 | If Cavalry have to do the same work as Infantry, should not they carry bayonets? |
56924 | Is it any matter of surprise that the Germans are slow to listen to General von Bernhardi? |
56924 | Is it likely to be"exhaustive,""convincing,""complete"? |
56924 | Is it not plain that we are dealing here with a matter of faith, not of reason; of dogma, not of argument; of sentiment, not of technical practice? |
56924 | Is it practicable for men to remain in their saddles and wield steel weapons against men armed with modern rifles? |
56924 | Is not the reader conscious of an extraordinary artificiality and unreality in the terms employed? |
56924 | Is there a mutual deadlock, both remaining in"defence"? |
56924 | Is there no lesson from South Africa here? |
56924 | Is there no lesson from South Africa here? |
56924 | Men who read that will say:"Why waste time at all, then?" |
56924 | Mounted, however, and"charging in close formation,"it can attack even a stronger enemy( what sort of enemy? |
56924 | On what single occasion were lances and swords of the smallest value in attacks on transport? |
56924 | Perfectly true-- we agree; but what bearing has this obvious truth on the combat value of the lance and sword? |
56924 | Supposing our gallant Colonials had said that at Sannah''s Post? |
56924 | That is nearly four miles away, and the questions at once arise, Who are these invisible troops with Artillery? |
56924 | The issue before us is this: Is a certain mode of fighting possible in modern days? |
56924 | Then, why, we ask, all this reasoned instruction about Cavalry making its way to the crisis and delivering its charge? |
56924 | There are, of course, two distinct questions involved:( 1) Should the Independent Cavalries concentrate at the outset? |
56924 | Very good; but why not have followed the same principle in earlier chapters, instead of talking of Cavalry charging Infantry under cover, etc.? |
56924 | Were"these measures,"then, only to screen the Cavalry mass? |
56924 | What antithesis can there be between Cavalry"pursuing in the open"and Cavalry conducting a"parallel pursuit"? |
56924 | What do they enjoin? |
56924 | What does he suppose their Cavalry leaders would have thought of his theories? |
56924 | What does"Independent"mean? |
56924 | What fresh matter, either for German exposition or for British eulogy, could there be? |
56924 | What is going to happen? |
56924 | What is it? |
56924 | What is that range? |
56924 | What is the battle of encounter? |
56924 | What is the connection with his previous chapters on reconnaissance? |
56924 | What is the enemy''s Cavalry supposed to be doing? |
56924 | What is the result? |
56924 | What is the use of a rule like that? |
56924 | What is their strength and composition? |
56924 | What is there to regret? |
56924 | What is to happen when both sides are at grips on terms of fire? |
56924 | What lies behind this ambiguous language, which, remember, is the outcome of pure"speculation"? |
56924 | What principle is he trying to express? |
56924 | What wars, then, according to the German expert, are the uneducated German Cavalry to study? |
56924 | What will there be to regret in that? |
56924 | What, then, if not a charge? |
56924 | What, then, of the charging patrols and squadrons? |
56924 | When will our soldiers base their rules on war facts? |
56924 | When, in his opinion, is this rifle to be used? |
56924 | When, indeed? |
56924 | Where are these customs? |
56924 | Where would Sir John French''s argument lead him, if he only followed it up and supplied the missing links? |
56924 | Where, then, is the battle of encounter? |
56924 | Where, then, is the theoretical advantage of the lance and sword over the modern rifle? |
56924 | Which Arm really displayed the most"offensive spirit"in South Africa? |
56924 | Why appeal to Frederick the Great? |
56924 | Why does he not warn his countrymen, instead of telling them that these German speculations are brilliant, logical, conclusive, complete? |
56924 | Why not Lord Roberts, who has, and who is the only living British officer with a European reputation? |
56924 | Why not have begun with it? |
56924 | Why not have said at the outset that their normal action must be something quite different? |
56924 | Why not have them placed in the forefront of our own Cavalry Manual, in the approaching revision of that important work? |
56924 | Why not in one single recorded case in a year''s war in Manchuria? |
56924 | Why not say at once that the proper or normal rôle of Cavalry is fire- action, and the exceptional or abnormal rôle shock- action? |
56924 | Why should I have mentioned it? |
56924 | Why speak of Cavalry driving the hostile Cavalry off the field, with more emphasis than of Infantry doing the same to Infantry? |
56924 | Why talk, then, about"relief from the onus of choice"? |
56924 | Why"commence"only? |
56924 | Why"principally"? |
56924 | Would the General be well pleased? |
56924 | Would they? |
56924 | _ Cadit quæstio._ Why not have begun"Cavalry in War and Peace"with these illuminating axioms? |
56924 | how composed?) |
56924 | of the time of the Cavalry soldier, and make it officially subordinate to steel weapons which can only be used by its indulgence? |
56924 | of what strength? |
25829 | Ah,she cried,"is n''t it a jolly morning? |
25829 | Ah,she said, with a little tremble in her voice,"if I do marry you-- will you be kind to me?" |
25829 | Am I to set for the three, sir? |
25829 | And she''s a woman, after all, is n''t she? |
25829 | And what about you? |
25829 | And why, may I ask, did you do it? |
25829 | And-- er-- your wife''s not here with you? |
25829 | Anything wrong? |
25829 | Are n''t you? |
25829 | Are you busy? |
25829 | Are you going to stand outside in this moth- eaten passage the rest of the night, or will you come in with me and have a whisky and soda? 25829 Are you sure,"asked Miss Marley, gently,"that you will manage this time?" |
25829 | Are you trying to pay me back for falling asleep? |
25829 | Army, you were going to say, were n''t you? |
25829 | Been telling lies, have they? 25829 But ca n''t horrid women be pretty, too?" |
25829 | But do you care for her knocking about so with young Rivers and that chap Roper? 25829 But how much heart have you got? |
25829 | But it ca n''t matter what people say if it is n''t true, can it? |
25829 | But my dear Lady Staines,she urged,"surely you tried kindness?" |
25829 | But they do n''t mind us, do they? |
25829 | But why do n''t you put your skates on? |
25829 | But why should she marry? |
25829 | But you could n''t talk things over with them or answer their questions, could you? |
25829 | But you knew we were always going out in March did n''t you? |
25829 | By Jove,he thought to himself,"can she be as beautiful as she looks?" |
25829 | By Jove,said Lionel, thoughtfully;"simple, d''you call it? |
25829 | Ca n''t you see,she asked bitterly,"that our life together is the most awful tragedy?" |
25829 | Can you listen to what I say? |
25829 | Could any one,she said under her breath,"think any harm of him? |
25829 | Did n''t want me to have it, I suppose? |
25829 | Did you bag those fellows yourself? |
25829 | Dinner as usual? |
25829 | Do you mean to tell me I''ve wasted that three hundred pounds, Sarah? |
25829 | Do you mean you''ve sent Lionel away? |
25829 | Do you mind just getting up and touching the bell? 25829 Do you really think she''s pretty? |
25829 | Do you see that woman,he asked Claire,"the pretty one over there by the pillar? |
25829 | Do you think I want to leave you? 25829 Do you_ want_ me to love Estelle?" |
25829 | Does he? |
25829 | Flirt? 25829 Has he complained of my keeping him here?" |
25829 | Has he talked to you about it? |
25829 | Have you been down the Cresta? |
25829 | How can I explain to people,Claire went on,"what he''s been like? |
25829 | How can you possibly tell? |
25829 | How did you get hold of it? |
25829 | How do you mean? |
25829 | How far are they behind you? |
25829 | I admit things are awkward for you-- damned awkward-- still it''s no use sitting down under them when you might have a row and clear the air, is it? 25829 I dare say,"said Winn after rather a long pause,"you see what I mean? |
25829 | I do n''t want to blame her, but it''s no use counting her in; besides, honestly, Father, I do n''t care a rap-- why should I expect her to? 25829 I have n''t any right to now, have I? |
25829 | I mean,she said,"have you got to consider anybody else? |
25829 | I mean--_nonsense_ ca n''t_ count_ against any one? |
25829 | I must stay with you, must n''t I? |
25829 | I say,he began,"do n''t you think we''ve got rather off the track? |
25829 | I say,he said after a moment''s pause,"would you mind marrying me?" |
25829 | I suppose I ought n''t to kiss him? |
25829 | I suppose you mean you''re a bit sick of me, do n''t you? |
25829 | I suppose,she said, prolonging a small sob,"you do n''t care what I feel about going to India?" |
25829 | I thought you were staying over the week- end? |
25829 | I thought,she said indifferently,"you liked that man you insisted on having instead of Lord Arlington at the wedding?" |
25829 | I wonder if you like him? |
25829 | I wonder,he said, leaning towards her,"would you mind very much if I kissed you?" |
25829 | I''m sure, as a man of the world, you''d advise me to keep out of it, would n''t you? 25829 I''ve told you I''m married, have n''t I? |
25829 | I-- I suppose he really is gone? |
25829 | Is anything the matter? |
25829 | Is n''t she all right as she is? 25829 Is n''t that what we damned well settled?" |
25829 | Is n''t there any one else up here not going in for it that you could lick into shape? |
25829 | Is that what you''re up to? |
25829 | Is that worrying you? |
25829 | Is there anything the matter with her? |
25829 | It''s not much in your line, is it? |
25829 | It''s not so bad as all that, is it? 25829 Keep away from me if you think I''m getting into trouble, because I sha''n''t be getting into trouble, I shall be getting out of it, d''you see?" |
25829 | Life--he said,"yes-- well-- how do I know how much longer I shall have to bother about life?" |
25829 | Might n''t it mean promotion? |
25829 | Miss Marley,Claire began,"do you think it matters what people_ think_?" |
25829 | No, but it only shows you that I''m much the most wicked, does n''t it? |
25829 | Nonsense,said Lady Staines firmly,"I presume you wash your hands before dinner, do n''t you, you can get the dirt off then? |
25829 | Now look at me-- if we did have trouble where''d I be? 25829 Now we''ll see what submarines can do;''member the Japs?" |
25829 | Oh, I say, you know,he ventured,"you''re not playing very fair, are you? |
25829 | Oh, Major Staines, you wo n''t toboggan? |
25829 | Oh, come, you know,said Maurice, jauntily,"I''m not responsible for poor old Bouncing''s death, am I?" |
25829 | Oh,she cried a little breathlessly,"you''re not going away, are you? |
25829 | Oh,she said,"what are you going to do to me? |
25829 | Only,she said,"up here there is n''t any mist, is there?" |
25829 | Possibly she does, but what difference does it make to me when I do n''t know which times? |
25829 | See you through being all right? |
25829 | Shall I be a broken- winded, cats''-meat hack? |
25829 | Shall I bother you if we talk a little? |
25829 | Shall I go over and bring your brother to you? 25829 Tell me,"she whispered,"did you ever even think-- you liked her as much?" |
25829 | That snow place? |
25829 | That''s one point of view, of course,he said slowly;"but how do you know I want to have her more with me? |
25829 | The question is,he said firmly,"can I make you do what we both want and what you are holding back from? |
25829 | Then,she laughed,"I''m important enough to have my own way, are n''t I?" |
25829 | Well, she sets out to be pretty, does n''t she? |
25829 | Well, what about it? |
25829 | Well, what else have you to suggest to me about my husband-- out of your friendship for me? |
25829 | Well, you can see for yourself, ca n''t you? 25829 Well,"he said,"where''s Maurice? |
25829 | Well,she asked at last,"what is it you want to talk about? |
25829 | Well,she said,"what on earth am I to do? |
25829 | What about me? |
25829 | What d''you mean? |
25829 | What do I have''em for? 25829 What do you intend to do?" |
25829 | What do you mean by that? |
25829 | What do you suppose they''d say? |
25829 | What does that mean? |
25829 | What news of Estelle? |
25829 | What ought I to do, Major Staines? |
25829 | What the hell do you expect to gain by it? 25829 What''s it to you whether I hurt her feelings or not?" |
25829 | What''s that he says? 25829 What''s that? |
25829 | What''s the boy done? |
25829 | What''s up with those boys? |
25829 | What''s up? |
25829 | What,said Miss Marley, rolling another cigarette,"are your plans?" |
25829 | When it''s over I''ll begin to think; but I need n''t really think till then, need I? 25829 Why are you anxious?" |
25829 | Why ca n''t you shake a little sense into your wife? 25829 Why do you pity her?" |
25829 | Why not? 25829 Why off to- night?" |
25829 | Why should I? 25829 Why should I?" |
25829 | Why the devil should I? |
25829 | Why the devil should n''t we? |
25829 | Why, how do you suppose you can stop me? 25829 Why?" |
25829 | Winn dearest, do you know what I came down for this evening? |
25829 | Winn,she asked in a whisper,"did you go because of me-- or because of you?" |
25829 | Winn,she said,"do you love me enough for anything? |
25829 | Wo n''t have it? |
25829 | Would it,he asked quickly,"have made any difference-- about Lionel, I mean?" |
25829 | Would you like to know,she asked,"what I''d really like for lunch?" |
25829 | Would you mind opening your eyes? |
25829 | Yes,she said;"why not? |
25829 | You are Estelle, my dear, ai n''t you? |
25829 | You ca n''t have a row with a piece of pink silk, can you? |
25829 | You can take it if you''ve got it; but my point is, if you have n''t got it, you ca n''t take it, can you? 25829 You did n''t get a telegram, too?" |
25829 | You did not act solely, I presume, from an idea of thwarting my suggestions? |
25829 | You did, did you? |
25829 | You like her, then? |
25829 | You mean,said Lionel,"that it''s got too thick between you and Estelle? |
25829 | You think we are going to have war? |
25829 | You will help me with Maurice? |
25829 | ''Nuff to kill a horse-- where do they come from?" |
25829 | A woman? |
25829 | Ah, it''s there, is it-- then why the devil did n''t you give it me before?" |
25829 | And Winn had gone into the house and asked Estelle what the devil she meant? |
25829 | And had he missed it? |
25829 | And might I suggest the carrying out of a few minor precautions? |
25829 | And what good would it do you, my dear old chap, if I did? |
25829 | And you''re going to marry my second son, ai n''t you?" |
25829 | And you''ve got such a sharp way of speaking to waiters, perhaps you would n''t mind hauling him over the coals for me when he comes?" |
25829 | Are n''t you glad you are alive?" |
25829 | Are you sure you''re quite comfortable, and all that?" |
25829 | Been with Bouncing?" |
25829 | Before he had gone out of earshot Sir Peter asked Lionel what his father would do if presented with a possible daughter- in- law so markedly frail? |
25829 | Besides, you see, she''s young; she''s got her life to live, and, then, ought I to have married her at all? |
25829 | But I do n''t think they''d mind so awfully always, do you? |
25829 | But has anybody ever owned up when they were being spiteful? |
25829 | But he''s turned out well, do n''t you think? |
25829 | But if she does n''t care for you, and you do n''t care for her, ca n''t anything be done?" |
25829 | But that was n''t quite the point, was it? |
25829 | But there''s no use making a fuss about it, is there? |
25829 | But you feel all right, do n''t you?" |
25829 | But you''ll come back again, of course?" |
25829 | But, I say, look here-- will you ever forgive me? |
25829 | But, Winn, do n''t you think that we could send for each other then? |
25829 | By the by, are you married?" |
25829 | Ca n''t tell what''s going on inside a pair of bellows-- can they? |
25829 | Ca n''t you see the boy''s marriage has gone to pot?" |
25829 | Ca n''t you see there''s a shower coming? |
25829 | Can you?" |
25829 | Captain Drummond, are n''t you going with him to stop him?" |
25829 | Could n''t he have his bit of spring, his dance of golden daffodils, and then darkness? |
25829 | Could real friends have laughed if they had minded parting with each other? |
25829 | D''you mind telling me if you mean-- you care?" |
25829 | D''you see my point?" |
25829 | D''you see my point?" |
25829 | D''you see?" |
25829 | D''you understand?" |
25829 | Did he have a bad time, poor chap?" |
25829 | Did you want the boy to pick up with a baggage?" |
25829 | Do I know more about the world or do you? |
25829 | Do n''t you think that perhaps a smash, even of something you value, makes you grow? |
25829 | Do you find I ever pay the least attention to''em, Sarah?" |
25829 | Do you intend to stay all night here, or give me your promise?" |
25829 | Do you know what I mean?" |
25829 | Do you think I would have let them? |
25829 | Do you think it''s fair?" |
25829 | Does n''t the air make you feel awfully funny and happy?" |
25829 | Dr. Gurnet had consented, though he had raised his eyebrows and said,"Pair- skating?" |
25829 | Estelle listened thoughtfully for a few minutes, then she asked him if he did n''t think eight bridesmaids would be better than four? |
25829 | For a few minutes neither of them spoke, then Winn said:"Had a jolly dance?" |
25829 | Funny, is n''t it?" |
25829 | Had any difficulty in extracting it?" |
25829 | Had he concealed his marriage? |
25829 | Had he played the game? |
25829 | Had n''t he pulled off races on the scratchiest of polo ponies, when he could n''t afford better, out of sheer intention? |
25829 | Have you quarreled with your friend? |
25829 | He admitted Peter with a change of voice, and asked eagerly if things with lungs were hereditary or catching? |
25829 | He could n''t get it out then; but had he tried again later? |
25829 | He drew a deep breath, then he said:"Did n''t they talk about it? |
25829 | He ought n''t to be missing a good skating morning like this?" |
25829 | He was going; was it possible that there would be no farewell? |
25829 | How about lunch at the Schatz Alp?" |
25829 | How much does he want?" |
25829 | How on earth was he going to stand a fortnight with her when he could barely keep himself in hand for five minutes? |
25829 | I dare say there''ll be trouble later on, and then where''ll you be if you''re an invalid-- have you ever thought of that?" |
25829 | I do n''t know how to put it quite, but if you never did what you thought wrong, would you ever know how big right is? |
25829 | I do n''t know how you feel, of course; but-- well-- I''m sure you are n''t the kind of girl to let a fellow kiss you, are you, and mean nothing?" |
25829 | I do n''t know that I ever mentioned to you I''m married?" |
25829 | I do n''t know that I''m putting the thing straight-- but you know what she''s like? |
25829 | I do n''t know whether you remember my asking you if you knew German?" |
25829 | I do n''t think I''m fitted somehow for domestic life-- what?" |
25829 | I have n''t an idea how it stands, but I''ve been afraid ever since I stayed with you, that you''d made a bit of a mistake over your marriage?" |
25829 | I have n''t seen any one I particularly want to marry yet, if that''s what you mean?" |
25829 | I hope you quite understand that? |
25829 | I know it''s not your fault, but your being ill and my being away and all that? |
25829 | I mean that horrid woman, Mrs. Bouncing in our hotel?" |
25829 | I suppose you do realize how hard? |
25829 | I suppose you think I am as unnatural and-- and temporary as our surroundings?" |
25829 | I told him the other day how difficult it was to get up in the morning, and he said,''Well, then, why not stay in bed?'' |
25829 | I want you to marry her eventually-- d''you see? |
25829 | I wonder if I''m going to be ill?" |
25829 | I''ll tell you why I do n''t like her, Major Staines, and who she reminds me of, but perhaps you think her pretty, too? |
25829 | I''m getting weaker every hour; do n''t you notice it? |
25829 | If the world dared judge them, what did it matter? |
25829 | If you once set off with Winn, do you suppose he''ll stop? |
25829 | In about a fortnight? |
25829 | Is anything the matter? |
25829 | Is n''t everything heavenly? |
25829 | Is that what you want?" |
25829 | It is n''t worth while your climbing up the hill just to climb down again, is it? |
25829 | It was fun rather than otherwise; you know what I mean? |
25829 | It was n''t Winn''s place to say,"What the devil are you doing here, sir?" |
25829 | It would be funny if I got well, would n''t it? |
25829 | It would n''t be you that had got her?" |
25829 | It''s her look- out of course, but I suppose she knows she''s running you into the Divorce Court, letting you go out there by yourself? |
25829 | It''s no use fighting over things, is it? |
25829 | It''s rather sickening, is n''t it? |
25829 | Just gout and newspapers and sons getting up ideas about their lungs, but when do I complain? |
25829 | Lady Staines said,"Well-- whoever said she had?" |
25829 | Look at the Germans; we''ve worked considerably into them without seeing''em, have n''t we? |
25829 | Look better, would n''t it? |
25829 | Look here, have you ever had any ideas about love?" |
25829 | Negresses or bar- maids?" |
25829 | Not only for happiness, but, if we had to have dreadful things, enough for dreadful things?" |
25829 | Nothing wrong, is there?" |
25829 | Now are you satisfied?" |
25829 | Odd how there can be two sorts of quiet, ai n''t it?" |
25829 | Only, you know, the other people here are rather awful, are n''t they?" |
25829 | Perhaps he had n''t meant all the nice things he had said or all the nicer things he had n''t said at all, but just looked whenever her eyes met his? |
25829 | Probably you''ve lived in London all your lives?" |
25829 | Rather nice idea, I think, do n''t you, what? |
25829 | Rather odd, is n''t it, that you do n''t get as much as a tip about how jolly a thing could be till you''ve dished yourself from having it?" |
25829 | Remember about the German and-- er-- do you ever flirt?" |
25829 | Rum tale, is n''t it?" |
25829 | Shall I write to him or will you?" |
25829 | She waited for him to speak; but as he still said nothing, she asked with a sudden dimple:"Where does this path lead to?" |
25829 | She''s got the money, has n''t she, and what have you got? |
25829 | Sir Peter preferred this form of the question to"Is my boy going to die?" |
25829 | Sir Peter was silent for a moment, then he said,"Any more children coming?" |
25829 | So that he expected she''d have to teach him a lot-- would she-- if she did n''t mind, and overlook his being stupid? |
25829 | So we''ll just be happy, wo n''t we? |
25829 | So you see, do n''t you, that if either of us was wicked it was me? |
25829 | Suddenly Lady Staines cocked a wintry blue eye in her son''s direction and remarked,"Why ai n''t your wife going with you to Davos?" |
25829 | Suppose things had gone differently; that he''d been too late, and known his fate? |
25829 | Surely he would not leave her without a word? |
25829 | Surely there must be some touch of sentiment to this separation, horrible and inevitable, that lay before them? |
25829 | That rather braces one up, does n''t it?" |
25829 | That shows she noticed I was worse, does n''t it?" |
25829 | The skating competition will just be over then, wo n''t it? |
25829 | Then Claire said suddenly:"Oh, why did you make me hurt him when I liked him so much?" |
25829 | Then Winn said quietly:"You are perfectly sure, Parsons, that Mrs. Staines told you it was_ my_ wish to have the hyacinths?" |
25829 | Then she said:"Anyway, we can be quite happy for a fortnight, ca n''t we?" |
25829 | There were no flowers flung upon them now, only hurried gasping questions,"Are they coming?" |
25829 | There''s a story about this place-- I did n''t mention it to you before, did I?" |
25829 | They might put that in the''Pink''Un,''might n''t they?" |
25829 | Until half- time I thought I should get the better of you; but how did you get that devilish spurt on? |
25829 | Was Claire perfectly safe? |
25829 | Was it really coming, the place at which he would have to be stopped, after all her fruitless endeavors to get him to move in any direction at all? |
25829 | Was it really possible that any one could blame Winn? |
25829 | Was life less controllable than a shoddy polo pony? |
25829 | Was love really like that? |
25829 | We shall do all we can to help you, and then you''ll go back to England, wo n''t you?" |
25829 | What I want to say is-- why not have a row?" |
25829 | What about that dumb weight on his lips when he had tried to tell Claire on the Schatz Alp about Estelle? |
25829 | What are you going to do about it?" |
25829 | What becomes of domesticity? |
25829 | What do you want to marry her off for?" |
25829 | What does she want to go back to her people for? |
25829 | What had he ever done that he could be judged? |
25829 | What have they been lying about? |
25829 | What have you been doing with yourself? |
25829 | What is yours?" |
25829 | What must they think of a wife they are never allowed to see?" |
25829 | What on earth for?" |
25829 | What was to be done against a man who did n''t skate, but tore, who fell upon a ball as a terrier plunges, eyeless and intent, into a rat- hole? |
25829 | What''s marriage for? |
25829 | What''s that he says?" |
25829 | What''s that?" |
25829 | What''s the danger of a country that talks thirteen languages, has no non- commissioned officers, and always gets beat when it fights? |
25829 | What''s the use of saying good- by? |
25829 | Whatever happens, you''ll remember that I''ve been an awfully lucky chap, wo n''t you?" |
25829 | When I''ve got red hot needles eating into my toes, am I likely to like anything? |
25829 | When do you want to attack?" |
25829 | Where the hell''s that medical dictionary? |
25829 | Who the devil do you expect your boys to marry? |
25829 | Who wants concessions? |
25829 | Who wants to be safe?" |
25829 | Who wants to look at other people''s gardens except to find fault with''em? |
25829 | Why are you still dressed? |
25829 | Why ca n''t I?" |
25829 | Why did she want Maurice to be like him? |
25829 | Why did you go away?" |
25829 | Why did you rush off, and what are you looking like that for? |
25829 | Why do n''t you answer me, Charles, when I speak to you?" |
25829 | Why do n''t you get something inside''em, Charles, eh? |
25829 | Why do n''t you have more children instead of sitting sneering at me like an Egyptian Pyramid?" |
25829 | Why have n''t they got a home of their own? |
25829 | Why should he tell her anything? |
25829 | Why the devil do n''t you get a Punch and Judy show down and be done with it?" |
25829 | Will-- will that be all?" |
25829 | Winn looked puzzled; it took him a few minutes to guess whom she meant, then he said wonderingly:"My wife, you mean?" |
25829 | Winn said quietly, as if he said it to her every evening,"D''you mind playing for me, Estelle?" |
25829 | Winn was silent for a moment, then he said,"I suppose you know I''m nearly done?" |
25829 | Winn?" |
25829 | Wo n''t you sit down?" |
25829 | Would many fellows have had his chances and behaved as if they were frozen barbed- wire fences? |
25829 | Would n''t that be splendid?" |
25829 | You ca n''t help young men taking a fancy to you, can you? |
25829 | You follow me?" |
25829 | You know how things run on; and he''d been ill seven years, and one does like a little bit of fun, does n''t one?" |
25829 | You know what I mean? |
25829 | You mean you are n''t going to let me come with you down the pass?" |
25829 | You must have virtue, the place has got to be kept up somehow, has n''t it? |
25829 | You see, Maurice is so young in many ways, and our people having died-- he has n''t had much of a chance, has he? |
25829 | You see, you''re awfully young; there are chances ahead of you, awfully decent other chaps, marriage--""And you,"she whispered--"you?" |
25829 | You wo n''t blame him if I tell you something, will you?" |
25829 | You wo n''t, will you? |
25829 | You''re not--"her voice faltered suddenly--"you''re not angry, are you?" |
25829 | _ was_ respectable or not?" |
25829 | and stared at her while he fumbled at his collar stud; then he lifted his eyebrows and said"War- paint-- eh?" |
25829 | she asked,"full of consumptives? |
25829 | where''s family life? |
19710 | ''Ad''e a finance? 19710 ''Ave yer got a fag to spare?" |
19710 | ''Ave yer? 19710 ''E is, is''e?" |
19710 | ''Eard that? |
19710 | ''Oo are you? |
19710 | ''Oo''s there? |
19710 | ''Ow d''ye feel? |
19710 | ''Ow much were yer rushed for it? |
19710 | ''Ow? |
19710 | ''Ows Spud? |
19710 | ''Urt? |
19710 | A fresh what? |
19710 | A good one? |
19710 | A hundred and what? |
19710 | A mine blown up? |
19710 | A safe road? |
19710 | A what? |
19710 | After me she came and round to her side I''opped----"Who was on the other side now? |
19710 | Always? |
19710 | And the war started because it had to be? 19710 And you, Pryor?" |
19710 | Any Donegal men in the battalion? |
19710 | Any blisters? |
19710 | Any more of the Section going out? |
19710 | Any others struck? |
19710 | Any volunteers to help to carry out wounded? |
19710 | Any word of Mervin? |
19710 | Anybody hurt? |
19710 | Anything fresh from the seat of war? |
19710 | Anything to report? 19710 Are ye dry?" |
19710 | Are you Pat MacGill? |
19710 | Are you going back to the trenches again? |
19710 | Are you struck, Goliath? |
19710 | Are you sure you''ve got everything you want? |
19710 | At you? |
19710 | Ay, and I sent him five back----( p. 237)"And did n''t do him in?" |
19710 | Badly? |
19710 | Bill,I called to the Cockney, who came by whistling,"what are you doing?" |
19710 | Bill? |
19710 | Blimey, what a stink,muttered Bill,"Why do n''t ye bury them up?" |
19710 | But d''yer know what the stick was for? 19710 But did you ever fire it, son?" |
19710 | But have we? |
19710 | But what does it matter? 19710 Can we go out on the road?" |
19710 | Certainly, what are the others doing, Bill? |
19710 | Could we pot one? |
19710 | Did I think three years ago that I should ever be a soldier? |
19710 | Did they cross on the boats? |
19710 | Did yer''ear''i m yell? 19710 Did you capture the trench?" |
19710 | Did you hit it? |
19710 | Did you not hear it? |
19710 | Did you see the wild ducks to- day? |
19710 | Digging trenches? |
19710 | Do any of you fellows know Marie Redoubt? |
19710 | Do you believe in God? |
19710 | Do you hear the message? |
19710 | Do you know where Bill is? |
19710 | Do you know where the London Irish is put up here? |
19710 | Do you think that God can allow men to go killing one another like this? |
19710 | Do you want to kill men? |
19710 | Do you wear two pairs of socks? |
19710 | Do you work here? |
19710 | First time up this way? |
19710 | For my own part I am more afraid of----"What? |
19710 | For what? |
19710 | Going to bathe, Stoner? |
19710 | Going to have a kip, Pat? |
19710 | Going up to the slaughter line, mateys? |
19710 | Gone? |
19710 | Got him? |
19710 | Has the trench been captured? |
19710 | Have another drink, Bill? |
19710 | Have the Germans come this way? |
19710 | Have the working parties come up yet? |
19710 | Have you a ha''penny? |
19710 | Have you an entrenchin''tool? |
19710 | Have you any water to spare, chummy? |
19710 | Have you been in the dug- out yet? |
19710 | Have you been long out here? |
19710 | Have you been long out here? |
19710 | Have you come through the calf- age? |
19710 | Have you ever been in a bayonet charge? |
19710 | Have you ever shot any living thing? |
19710 | Have you got permission from your captain? |
19710 | Have you got the water already? |
19710 | Have you seen him? |
19710 | Have you seen many killed? |
19710 | How are you, Jock? |
19710 | How did it happen? |
19710 | How did you get along in the fight? |
19710 | How did you get it? |
19710 | How did you get on last night? |
19710 | How did you like it? |
19710 | How do you like the trenches, Jock? |
19710 | How do you like these trenches? |
19710 | How goes it, matey? |
19710 | How is that? |
19710 | How many casualties have we had? |
19710 | How much have you got? |
19710 | How? |
19710 | Hungry? 19710 I did n''t know you had fallen in love with the girl,"I said"How did it happen?" |
19710 | I do n''t know why, but I feel strange,I said,"When did you come( p. 179) to this village?" |
19710 | I was busy with Ginger----"Ginger Weeson? |
19710 | I wonder whether we''ll have much bayonet- fightin''or not? |
19710 | I''m gettin''more afraid of these things every hour,he said,"what is the war about?" |
19710 | I''m''ere, old Sawbones,said Bill,"wot d''ye want me for?" |
19710 | In a coal- mine? |
19710 | Inniskillings? |
19710 | Irish? |
19710 | Is it better to be a living coward, Or thrice a hero dead? |
19710 | Is it? 19710 Is that so?" |
19710 | Is that what you fear most? |
19710 | Is the army going to supply it? |
19710 | Is the pantomime parapet manned? |
19710 | Is there something to drink? |
19710 | Is this not a night? |
19710 | Is this the firing- line? |
19710 | It is madness to remain here,she was told, and she asked"Where can I go to?" |
19710 | It''s not that----"Did she answer your letter saying she reciprocated your sentiments? |
19710 | Killed any one yet? |
19710 | Killed? |
19710 | Killed? |
19710 | Killed? |
19710 | Long over? |
19710 | Looking for trouble, mate? |
19710 | Made it well? |
19710 | Madham mosselle,he said, lingering over every syllable,"I get no milk with cawfee, compree?" |
19710 | Many hurt? |
19710 | Much hand- to- hand fighting? |
19710 | Much hurt, old man? |
19710 | Much hurt? |

19710 | Now I''ve got''dog,''who has''maggot''? |
19710 | Now that I am, can I kill a man; run a bayonet through his body; right through, so that the point, blood red and cruelly keen, comes out at the back? 19710 On the marshes? |

19710 | Seein''anything? |
19710 | Seen some fighting? |
19710 | Seven o''clock,I said,"Is it as bad as that?" |
19710 | Shall I begin now? 19710 Stoner, going in?" |
19710 | Stopped a packet, matey? |
19710 | Stretchers? |
19710 | Territorials? |
19710 | That''s done it,he exclaimed,"what the devil was it?" |
19710 | That''s why ye did n''t join it then, is it? |
19710 | The high jump? |
19710 | The night of all the world? |
19710 | There, what''s that? |
19710 | They were? |
19710 | This the way to the firing line? |

19710 | Village? |
19710 | Was he a nice fellow, the doctor? |
19710 | We never''eard the blurry things come, did we? |
19710 | Well? |
19710 | What about the Cup Final? |
19710 | What about the chances for the Cup Final? |
19710 | What about the gun that sent this over? |
19710 | What about_ Uncle Joe_? |
19710 | What am I here for? |
19710 | What are the few more things that you did not mention, Bill? |
19710 | What are you going to do after the war? |
19710 | What beastly stuff is this trickling down? 19710 What d''ye mean?" |
19710 | What did you fire at? |
19710 | What do you fear most, Goliath? |
19710 | What do you mean? |
19710 | What do you think of it, Stoner? |
19710 | What do you want here? |
19710 | What does he say? |
19710 | What does shouting the odds mean? |
19710 | What for? |
19710 | What happened to him? |
19710 | What has happened? |
19710 | What have you to say? |
19710 | What is it? |
19710 | What is it? |

19710 | Can we make the same proud boast? |
19710 | Can you put an edge on the scythe?" |
19710 | Did you see X. of---- Company coming out?" |
19710 | Do they use dum- dum bullets?" |
19710 | Gentlemen, are your glasses charged?" |
19710 | Got me?" |
19710 | Had I any cigarettes? |
19710 | Had I seen the mine explode? |
19710 | Had Mervin got clear, I wondered? |
19710 | Had all been killed and were all those I had met a few days before in the garret when the shell landed on the roof? |
19710 | Has she a fair brow? |
19710 | Have another drop of tay?" |
19710 | How are we goin''to sleep this night, Pat?" |
19710 | How came I to be here? |
19710 | How is your regiment getting along?" |
19710 | How''s yer hoppin''it?" |
19710 | I am not angry with them; I know little of the race; they are utter strangers to me; what am I to think, why should I think? |
19710 | I belonged to the company holding the Keep, did I not? |
19710 | I do n''t care for soldierin''as a profession?" |
19710 | I have a brother----""The same bruvver?" |
19710 | I queried,"what''s that?" |
19710 | Is Bill Teake there?" |
19710 | Is it quiet here?" |
19710 | It might be our turn next, as we might go under to- day or to- morrow; who could tell when the turn of the next would come? |
19710 | Let it come, blow me to atoms, tear me to pieces, what did I care? |
19710 | My nerves were on edge and a coldness swept along my spine.... No, I was n''t struck...."All right, Pryor?" |
19710 | Nark( confound) it, I say, Mad- ham- moss- elle, voo( what''s"give,"Mervin?) |
19710 | Now and again he spoke and his question was always the same:"Are we near the dressing station yet?" |
19710 | Of the glory or the horror of the war? |
19710 | Of their friends whom, perhaps, they would never see again? |
19710 | Of their journey and the perils that lay before them? |
19710 | Ready? |
19710 | See that woman?" |
19710 | Shall we take them?" |
19710 | The head cook copped it in the legs, both were broken, and Erney, you know Erney?" |
19710 | The mine has done no damage? |
19710 | Then round to the other side went I----""Which side?" |
19710 | Then you''re comin''? |
19710 | Then''e arst me:''''Ave yer seen much war?'' |
19710 | This was not the way out; why had we come here? |
19710 | Was he asleep? |
19710 | Was it Mervin? |
19710 | Was it because you were alone you felt so very frightened? |
19710 | Were they afraid of something? |
19710 | Were we going back again? |
19710 | What are you doin'', Feelan?" |
19710 | What caused the German gunner, a simple woodman and a father himself perhaps,( p. 259) to fire at that moment? |
19710 | What demon guided the shell? |
19710 | What did it hold for us all? |
19710 | What did it matter where a shell hit me now, a weak useless thing at the bottom of a trench? |
19710 | What did it matter? |
19710 | What did they dream of lying there? |
19710 | What had happened? |
19710 | What was I to do? |
19710 | What was happening? |
19710 | What was the history of that house and of the officers who sat down to dinner? |
19710 | What were they going to do? |
19710 | What would Bill think of him? |
19710 | What would they say? |
19710 | What''s the way back?" |
19710 | When we meet he says,"What about the Caly, Pat?" |
19710 | When''s sick parade?" |
19710 | Where did she come from? |
19710 | Where did the cries come from? |
19710 | Where had I seen him before? |
19710 | Where is here?" |
19710 | Where were yer?" |
19710 | Who am I that I should do it; what have they done to me to incur my wrath? |
19710 | Who are you?" |
19710 | Who can say? |
19710 | Who had been struck? |
19710 | Who likes it? |
19710 | Who shall give an answer to the question? |
19710 | Who was he? |
19710 | Who was she? |
19710 | Who were we? |
19710 | Why did n''t ye have something better than water in yer bottle?'' |
19710 | Why did n''t ye take it then?" |
19710 | Why did the men under the coffin walk so slowly? |
19710 | Why did they not use a stretcher? |
19710 | Why did they run so quickly? |
19710 | Why do you say it?" |
19710 | Why do you think of such a thing?" |
19710 | Why had they kept us waiting? |
19710 | Why was that horse allowed to remain loose in the stable? |
19710 | Why were we here holding a line of trench, and ready to take a life or give one as occasion required? |
19710 | Why were we there? |
19710 | Why? |
19710 | Why? |
19710 | Will the tragedy ever be told? |
19710 | Would any of us see the dawn?... |
19710 | Would the dawn see us alive or dead? |
19710 | Would they fall into the trench? |
19710 | Would they speak? |
19710 | You ask me if the trench is deep? |
19710 | [ Illustration: Menu of the dug- out banquet]( p. 123)"Wot,"muttered Bill,"wot''s wrong with it?" |
19710 | and I answer,"What about the Sou''West, Jock?" |
19710 | asked questions:"Do your boots pinch?" |
19710 | cried Bill, then asked,"What was the most wonderful thing you ever seen, Mervin?" |
19710 | had the officer in front taken the wrong turning? |
19710 | tell me Shan O''Farrel; tell me why you hurry so?" |
19710 | that the Irish?" |
19710 | who goes there?" |
19710 | who goes there?" |
19710 | will they ever stop this damned caper? |
25923 | A private gambling club? |
25923 | About my eye? |
25923 | And did n''t a truck fall down the embankment and do some damage? |
25923 | And how does that judgment come? |
25923 | And spent it with your friends? 25923 And what would you expect me to do afterwards?" |
25923 | And who''s Mignonne? |
25923 | And you had enough already? |
25923 | And you? 25923 And you?" |
25923 | Are n''t you in town unusually early? |
25923 | Are you all right, Jake? |
25923 | Are you hiding something, Dick? 25923 Are you not?" |
25923 | Are you sure I was n''t delirious? |
25923 | Are you sure you did n''t give her too much steam? |
25923 | Are you trying to be tactful now? |
25923 | As much as, or more than, usual? |
25923 | As you were seldom quite conscious until this morning, how did you know? |
25923 | At the casino? |
25923 | Brooding? |
25923 | But did n''t you want to clear yourself and get taken back? |
25923 | But do n''t you see you are admitting that he should n''t come? |
25923 | But do you know the man he was with? |
25923 | But do you make the deliveries ex- store tally with what went in? |
25923 | But how are you going to get over the difficulty that you_ are_ what you call pushing? 25923 But how much late?" |
25923 | But is that the only entry in your book? |
25923 | But suppose we let that go? 25923 But this does n''t account for everything?" |
25923 | But what about Payne? 25923 But what about your work? |
25923 | But what does that matter? |
25923 | But what does the fiesta they''re holding celebrate? |
25923 | But what were you doing at the hospital? |
25923 | But where is the job and what''s the pay? |
25923 | But why has he gone? 25923 But why?" |
25923 | But wo n''t you sit down? |
25923 | But you do n''t think so? |
25923 | But you surely do n''t mean to let the raider do what she likes? 25923 By a bribe? |
25923 | Ca n''t you find something better? |
25923 | Ca n''t you trust me to see this does n''t happen? |
25923 | Can you remember how the cards went? |
25923 | Can you see the tug? |
25923 | Can you take me? |
25923 | Concrete, in short? |
25923 | Could I follow him to the mill? 25923 Could n''t you have fought it out?" |
25923 | Did Mr. Brandon send you with these letters? |
25923 | Did a tug and three coal barges put into your harbor last night? |
25923 | Did somebody ask him? |
25923 | Did you come straight here? |
25923 | Did you get it? 25923 Did you go straight to Storeton from the hall?" |
25923 | Did you hesitate again, after you knew you''d got the job? |
25923 | Did you see Miss Kenwardine when you came for a game? |
25923 | Did you see them cross the bridge? |
25923 | Did you stay there? |
25923 | Do n''t they call it sub- conscious? |
25923 | Do n''t you practical people rather pride yourselves on being free from our complexities? 25923 Do n''t you see what you''re up against?" |
25923 | Do n''t you understand that they ca n''t be straightened out? |
25923 | Do n''t you? |
25923 | Do n''t you? |
25923 | Do they know when she left the last port? |
25923 | Do you expect Mr. Kenwardine to meet you? |
25923 | Do you know how they were lost? |
25923 | Do you know much about her brother? |
25923 | Do you know much about international law and how far it prohibits a neutral country from selling coal to a belligerent? |
25923 | Do you know where the fellow is? |
25923 | Do you know why he went so soon? |
25923 | Do you reckon I''d pack dirt with a crowd like this if I could help it? |
25923 | Do you still believe I took your papers? |
25923 | Do you suggest that she''s dangerous, too? |
25923 | Do you suppose I ca n''t feel it? 25923 Do you think Kenwardine was his partner? |
25923 | Do you think he told them to send after Kenwardine? |
25923 | Do you think it will drop at sundown? |
25923 | Do you think we mind? |
25923 | Do you think you''ll like your work? |
25923 | Do you want me to hire the man? |
25923 | Does his trouble end with the injury to his eye? |
25923 | Does n''t it mean a petted child? |
25923 | Does n''t it strike you that you''re urging conflicting reasons? 25923 Does n''t this remind you of something? |
25923 | Does that account for your buying the pistol when you came here? |
25923 | From whom? |
25923 | Had n''t I another nurse? |
25923 | Had n''t you better tell us whom you mean by''they''? |
25923 | Has she returned yet? |
25923 | Have I been sitting there all this time? |
25923 | Have n''t you any autos yet? 25923 Have the Germans bought the Adexe wharf?" |
25923 | Have you a cigarette? 25923 Have you a large chart of this coast?" |
25923 | Have you a match, señor? |
25923 | Have you another like the first? |
25923 | Have you been to see her since you came back? |
25923 | Have you got a gun? |
25923 | Have you read his replies? |
25923 | Have you seen him recently? |
25923 | Have you torn off the top sheet in the last few days? |
25923 | He thought he would make it awkward for you to come here, in fact? |
25923 | Hold on, Jake,he said and raised his voice:"Who''s that?" |
25923 | How can I go to sleep when I''m not sleepy and you wo n''t tell me what I want to know? |
25923 | How can he defy you when he knows you can hand him over to the British authorities? |
25923 | How can you find out things that bother you, unless you talk? |
25923 | How did it happen? |
25923 | How did the truck run off the line? 25923 How did you get in?" |
25923 | How did you get in? |
25923 | How did you guess? 25923 How did you hear about the matter?" |
25923 | How did you hear of that? |
25923 | How do you account for that? |
25923 | How do you know when you have come to the line? |
25923 | How do you know? |
25923 | How much do you reckon she has discharged? |
25923 | How will you force him? |
25923 | How''s that? |
25923 | I do n''t know that it''s important, but what''s the matter with them? |
25923 | I do n''t suppose the fellow knows English, but shall I send him down? |
25923 | I expect you mean-- why did I come without getting your servant to announce me? |
25923 | I never heard of him, and perhaps I ought to explain----"What you came for? 25923 I suppose I may congratulate you on your recent promotion? |
25923 | I suppose he wanted to know when the coal would leave? |
25923 | I suppose you did n''t stop? |
25923 | I wonder if you could get me something to drink? |
25923 | I wonder whether she would see me? |
25923 | In fact, you suspect the wine was doped after we went out? |
25923 | Is he running this place as a gambling house? |
25923 | Is n''t Richter German? |
25923 | Is n''t that rather egotistical? |
25923 | Is n''t this a change of attitude? 25923 Is that all?" |
25923 | Is that you, Enrique? |
25923 | Is there anywhere else to go? |
25923 | Is your father at home, Miss Kenwardine? |
25923 | It is very pretty, but why do you want to give it to me? |
25923 | May I ask why? 25923 May I ask why?" |
25923 | Need you ask? 25923 Not at Kenwardine''s?" |
25923 | Not worth while? |
25923 | Now,he said,"do you think it''s sensible to distrust a girl like that? |
25923 | Now,said Jake rather sharply,"what was the shooting about?" |
25923 | One may understand that as a compliment? |
25923 | Profession comes first? |
25923 | Right in thinking my house was unsafe for the lad, and in warning him that you and I were unfit for him to associate with? |
25923 | Say, suppose you try her? 25923 Say, what do you think of this?" |
25923 | Shall we go into the music- room, for a change? |
25923 | Shall we play for half an hour? |
25923 | Since you could n''t steal away, would n''t it have been better not to hint that I was anxious to avoid you? 25923 Suppose I own up that my tally''s got mixed?" |
25923 | Suppose there''s something wrong with your bearing, or you ca n''t make good your course? |
25923 | That''s a quick decision, is n''t it? 25923 That''s rather sudden, is n''t it? |
25923 | Then I''m to understand she''s back in port? |
25923 | Then do n''t you think you are a fortunate man? |
25923 | Then do you know why he kept the letters back? |
25923 | Then have you heard of any señorita, or perhaps a half- breed girl who has taken his fancy? |
25923 | Then he has lost your friendship by taking Dick Brandon''s part? |
25923 | Then suppose it does n''t drop? |
25923 | Then there is a plot? |
25923 | Then they take the dyewood off in boats? 25923 Then what does he expect to gain?" |
25923 | Then where did you go next? |
25923 | Then where has he gone? 25923 Then where is he?" |
25923 | Then who is he afraid of? |
25923 | Then who took the plans? |
25923 | Then why did n''t you give me them when I was doing nothing this afternoon? |
25923 | Then why did you call him? |
25923 | Then why did you quit? |
25923 | Then why do n''t you get it? |
25923 | Then why not try Hamburg? |
25923 | Then you got drunk at his house? 25923 Then you have begun to take your business seriously?" |
25923 | Then you have got some coal? 25923 Then you have heard from my father?" |
25923 | Then you have lived here before? |
25923 | Then you have n''t let up yet? 25923 Then you knew Kenwardine meant to steal away?" |
25923 | Then you know what happened? |
25923 | Then you mean to run the risk? |
25923 | Then you ran a risk of being killed? |
25923 | Then you reckon it was n''t me they wanted the night my partner was stabbed? 25923 Then you trust the fellow yet?" |
25923 | Then you will miss us? |
25923 | Then you''re a bit of an artist? |
25923 | Then you''re looking for somebody? |
25923 | Then you''re not sure he meant to come back? |
25923 | Think they do n''t know what cement is? 25923 Though he would not be much relieved to find you had come to my house instead? |
25923 | To marry some gambling rake? |
25923 | To whom do you propose to offer it? |
25923 | Two hundred yards? |
25923 | Was he hurt? |
25923 | Was it his duty to ruin my father? |
25923 | Was it your father''s notion that you should be an engineer? |
25923 | Was n''t he with Oliva? |
25923 | Was that done by Captain Maitland''s order? |
25923 | Well, I guess I''ve had enough, but if you''re going on---- How do you reckon you''ll get through the shoals ahead? |
25923 | Well,said Jake rather grimly,"what do you think would happen if a drunken man tried to walk along that pipe?" |
25923 | Well? |
25923 | Were you an officer? |
25923 | What about the coal for the Fuller irrigation works? |
25923 | What are you going to do about it? |
25923 | What are you steering by? |
25923 | What berths have you left? |
25923 | What can you do? |
25923 | What did you learn? |
25923 | What did you remember? |
25923 | What do you call yourself? |
25923 | What do you expect? 25923 What do you mean by the''genuine article''?" |
25923 | What do you mean by your not being the man he wanted? |
25923 | What do you think of that young man? |
25923 | What do you want? |
25923 | What does he do in the morning? |
25923 | What does your father''s character matter? 25923 What else could I think?" |
25923 | What have you against him? |
25923 | What have you been writing lately? |
25923 | What is it you want? |
25923 | What is your plan? |
25923 | What kind of things? |
25923 | What made him think we had? |
25923 | What makes you imagine so? |
25923 | What misfortunes has my father to fear? |
25923 | What shall we do next? |
25923 | What sort of a port is San Ignacio, and how far is it? |
25923 | What was that about Adexe? |
25923 | What were you doing in that room? |
25923 | What would you reckon the weight of the stuff? |
25923 | What''s the matter with Dick Brandon? |
25923 | What''s the matter with giving him one? 25923 What''s the matter with it, anyhow?" |
25923 | What''s the matter with the wine? |
25923 | What''s the matter with your arm? |
25923 | What''s the trouble, Payne? |
25923 | When do you go? |
25923 | Where am I? |
25923 | Where can I get fresh water? |
25923 | Where did you get the cement? |
25923 | Where did you go? |
25923 | Where did you learn to make these calculations? |
25923 | Where do you expect to find it? |
25923 | Where do you reckon it went, if it was n''t into the mixing shed? |
25923 | Where does one buy cement in this town? |
25923 | Where have you done your digging? |
25923 | Where is he now? |
25923 | Where is''here''? 25923 Where''s Kenwardine?" |
25923 | Where''s his pyjamas? |
25923 | Which you do n''t want to do? |
25923 | Who are his enemies? |
25923 | Who are_ they_? |
25923 | Who is Don Martin, and does he own the coaling wharf? |
25923 | Who''s that? |
25923 | Who''s that? |
25923 | Who''s the mulatto woman in black? |
25923 | Whom did you expect to get? |
25923 | Whose duty is it to check the storekeeper''s lists? |
25923 | Whose house was it? |
25923 | Why did Lucille call you_ ma mignonne_? |
25923 | Why did he want to see them? |
25923 | Why did n''t you call them first? |
25923 | Why did n''t you put him into his own bed? |
25923 | Why did n''t you tell me this earlier? |
25923 | Why did n''t you tell me you were ill? |
25923 | Why did n''t you warn the captain that his plan was found out, instead of jumping into the launch? |
25923 | Why do you want him? |
25923 | Why not Montreal or Cape Town? |
25923 | Why was he anxious about the tug? |
25923 | Why wo n''t you be warned? 25923 Why? |
25923 | Why? |
25923 | Why? |
25923 | Why? |
25923 | Why? |
25923 | Why? |
25923 | Why? |
25923 | Why? |
25923 | Why? |
25923 | Why? |
25923 | Will you have your luggage put on deck? |
25923 | Will you tell your friends I''ll pay them out in full as soon as I can? |
25923 | With the object of keeping you out of mischief? |
25923 | Would it be safe to go in? |
25923 | Would it make things any easier for you? |
25923 | Would we go back to England? |
25923 | You are afraid some of the others might take advantage of his rashness? |
25923 | You blamed me? 25923 You ca n''t pay back the money you lost?" |
25923 | You did n''t feel that before? |
25923 | You do n''t like Santa Brigida? |
25923 | You do n''t think I could find a carriage? |
25923 | You do not think it was one of the peons employed at the dam? |
25923 | You felt you had to promise the fellow a job because he butted in when the dagos got after you? |
25923 | You have done some yachting, then? |
25923 | You hit it on the back? |
25923 | You knew what they said? |
25923 | You know what they are? |
25923 | You mean his views about the payment of one''s debts? |
25923 | You mean that you blame my father for their loss? |
25923 | You mean-- is she good enough for Dick? 25923 You took some wine at dinner?" |
25923 | You tore it up? |
25923 | Your nerve''s pretty good, but do you want to defy your enemies and show them you have found out their trick? |
25923 | _ Quién sabe?_ The principal has not a German name. |
25923 | _ Tinto''s_ a thin, sour claret, is n''t it? 25923 Admitting that her father makes a few dollars by gambling, can you believe that living with him throws any taint on her? |
25923 | And now would you like some François Villon?" |
25923 | And why did you hint that I must know you had n''t stolen the plans?" |
25923 | Anyhow wo n''t you take the clasp?" |
25923 | Anyhow, why did you buy the flowers?" |
25923 | Are there any full bags not accounted for in the shed?" |
25923 | Are you a judge of character?" |
25923 | Are you going to rush past them, like a dull barbarian, in this kicking, snorting launch?" |
25923 | Are you not needed at the dam?" |
25923 | Are you quite sure you have n''t been writing about anything else?" |
25923 | Are you sure you have made no mistakes, Dick?" |
25923 | Are you sure you want it?" |
25923 | As there''s none at Santa Brigida just now, where''s it coming from?" |
25923 | Beckoning a peon who seemed to be the watchman, Dick gave him a cigarette and asked:"How far are they going to re- face the mole?" |
25923 | Besides, are you sure you do n''t mean patriotic when you say parochial? |
25923 | Brandon?" |
25923 | Brandon?" |
25923 | But I want to know why they''re not satisfied with tying my forehead up? |
25923 | But I wonder whether your notion of relaxing is getting lax?" |
25923 | But can you tell me where I am and how I got there?" |
25923 | But do you find the grade awkward when she''s steaming properly?" |
25923 | But do you like him?" |
25923 | But have you and Señor Brandon only been molested once?" |
25923 | But how did it come here?" |
25923 | But how far can a country go in harboring a belligerent''s agents and supplying her fighting ships, without losing its neutrality?" |
25923 | But since the latter had his formal consent, why had he not used it? |
25923 | But still----""Suppose we do n''t think it a trouble?" |
25923 | But suppose he imagined he might not be found out until he had done what he came to do? |
25923 | But the sewer''s not finished yet; why did you quit?" |
25923 | But then why did I tear your letter up?" |
25923 | But what about the drawings of the new pontoons? |
25923 | But what do you mean to do with Kenwardine?" |
25923 | But what has this to do with your coming here?" |
25923 | But what makes you think Kenwardine_ is_ dangerous?" |
25923 | But why could n''t you leave the girl alone?" |
25923 | But why did n''t you push the car? |
25923 | But why did n''t you stick to the throttle and send your fireman?" |
25923 | But why did you imagine that I should think your visit an intrusion?" |
25923 | But why should anybody wish to injure your comrade?" |
25923 | But you really think he has n''t sent her Kenwardine''s letter?" |
25923 | Ca n''t you understand? |
25923 | Ca n''t you, or wo n''t you, understand? |
25923 | Can you get the letters?" |
25923 | Could I marry my victim, which is what you are if your suspicions are justified? |
25923 | Could the lad understand Clare so well unless he loved her? |
25923 | Dick called his colored servant and asked him:"Why are all the lights burning, and what''s this mess?" |
25923 | Dick decided to wait until he looked round again, and next moment Don Sebastian asked:"Have you plenty coal?" |
25923 | Dick did not answer and, to his surprise, Stuyvesant smiled as he resumed:"It''s England first, with you?" |
25923 | Dick said nothing for a minute, and then asked:"What''s Kenwardine doing in Santa Brigida?" |
25923 | Dick told him after a short silence, and Fuller asked:"Two- thousand- pound tons?" |
25923 | Dick was silent for a few moments with knitted brows, and then asked:"You have a Monroe Doctrine, have n''t you?" |
25923 | Did Miss Kenwardine often pose for you?" |
25923 | Did you examine the bags on the mole, Brandon?" |
25923 | Did you imagine that your promotion depended altogether upon your planning trenches and gun- pits well?" |
25923 | Did you leave home after the war broke out?" |
25923 | Did you leave them behind?" |
25923 | Did you tear up the letter?" |
25923 | Do n''t you see that you ca n''t separate me from my father? |
25923 | Do you believe it''s possible I stole and meant to sell the plans?" |
25923 | Do you feel like taking the launch, Brandon, and trying what you can do?" |
25923 | Do you keep money in the house?" |
25923 | Do you know if your comrade has taken any part in political intrigue?" |
25923 | Do you know of anybody whom your friend has harmed?" |
25923 | Do you know why they''ve fixed this bandage so that it half blinds me?" |
25923 | Do you think you''ve got it right?" |
25923 | Do you want to see him?" |
25923 | Do you?" |
25923 | Does he go down there often?" |
25923 | Does it strike you as curious that while you made yourself responsible for me I had to take care of you?" |
25923 | For all that, his tone was resolute as he asked:"What was the brand of the cement you bought?" |
25923 | Had you any other reason for modifying the construction plans?" |
25923 | Had you anything to drink?" |
25923 | Has he made trouble for you in other ways?" |
25923 | Have n''t you been helping François, Fuller?" |
25923 | Have you any opinion on the subject?" |
25923 | Have you cashed it yet?" |
25923 | Have you enough money?" |
25923 | Have you got his promise not to play again?" |
25923 | Have you reckoned what it costs to keep a locomotive two or three hours for the purpose of taking you to Santa Brigida and back?" |
25923 | He turned to Dick and asked:"Do you know, Brandon?" |
25923 | How is it I have n''t seen you about? |
25923 | How long is it since you left him?" |
25923 | How many molded blocks of the top course have we put down at the dam?" |
25923 | How much do you know?" |
25923 | However, you have had some accidents at the dam, have n''t you?" |
25923 | I expect you heard about the collier tramp that was consigned to the French company at Arucas? |
25923 | I guess you know I was put off this camp soon before you came?" |
25923 | I reckon you can shoot?" |
25923 | I suppose I must n''t ask you to forget the line I took?" |
25923 | I suppose you know you were very ill?" |
25923 | If Kenwardine had to be supplied with money, where did it come from? |
25923 | If Kenwardine has bought the wharf, why''s he sending the coal away, instead of using it in the regular bunkering trade?" |
25923 | In a way, of course, it''s plain that Mr. Fuller''s right--""But after all, building dams and removing rocks may very well come first?" |
25923 | In fact, you warn all foreigners to keep their hands off?" |
25923 | In the meantime, can you warn the captain?" |
25923 | Is Mr. Fuller in the habit of disowning his debts? |
25923 | Is he to hang around here nights with his gun?" |
25923 | Is n''t it a rather extraordinary request, after what you said on board the launch?" |
25923 | Is n''t it much the same when one gives the orders that shatter massive rocks and move ponderous stones? |
25923 | Is that enough?" |
25923 | It was obvious that a large quantity of cement would be required and Dick resumed:"Who is doing the work?" |
25923 | Jake grinned as he promised and remarked as they went away:"Makes a good dueña, does n''t he? |
25923 | Mr. Brandon obviously did n''t consult your wishes, but have you any idea what his object was in taking his very unusual line?" |
25923 | Of course, we have n''t seen either of you often, but then----""You liked to feel we were within call if we were wanted? |
25923 | Perhaps you know the latter''s jealousy about European interference in American affairs?" |
25923 | Salvador brought a suit, and Dick, who dragged Jake out of bed, asked:"How did you get into this mess?" |
25923 | She paused and added:"Mr. Brandon''s your cousin?" |
25923 | She paused for a moment and added:"Do n''t you care what I might think?" |
25923 | Sitting down at his table he asked:"Do you keep cement in your warehouse?" |
25923 | Still, I suppose you see that if you''d been a moment later you''d have been smashed pretty flat?" |
25923 | Stuyvesant granted it and Dick resumed:"Do you mind giving me a blank order form? |
25923 | Suppose the Adexe coaling station was intended to be something of the nature of a naval base? |
25923 | Suppose the Creole boy had lost his note or sent it to somebody ashore? |
25923 | Suppose you send Mr. Fuller a note and ask him to dinner to- morrow? |
25923 | That''s what I want to know?" |
25923 | The man took out a note- book and while he studied it Bethune asked,"Will you let me have the book?" |
25923 | The prudent course would be to fight against and overcome his infatuation; but suppose he found this impossible, as he feared? |
25923 | The situation was only tolerable while he was very ill.""Why?" |
25923 | The tug''s engines----""Has she got back?" |
25923 | Then he went out and the storekeeper asked Stuyvesant:"What are you going to do with me?" |
25923 | Then she asked with a level glance:"Why have you come to see me?" |
25923 | Then suppose the owners of the station had learned that they were being spied upon? |
25923 | They''re on our side, and his stuff is pretty good, is n''t it?" |
25923 | What did you do with them?" |
25923 | What do you think became of my note?" |
25923 | What do you think of his manner?" |
25923 | What do you think would happen?" |
25923 | What do you think, Bethune?" |
25923 | What do you think?" |
25923 | What is she like?" |
25923 | What will happen afterwards?" |
25923 | What would they gain by that?" |
25923 | What''s the matter with them, anyway?" |
25923 | What''s your idea of the situation?" |
25923 | What''s your opinion, Don Sebastian?" |
25923 | When do you_ think_ the last blow was struck?" |
25923 | Where are you going, Dick?" |
25923 | Where did you shoot from?" |
25923 | Where do you think of going?" |
25923 | Where do you think she''s bound?" |
25923 | Where has it gone?" |
25923 | Where to?" |
25923 | Where''s Don Sebastian?" |
25923 | Who suggested this?" |
25923 | Why did he interfere?" |
25923 | Why did n''t he write to me?" |
25923 | Why did you change when you were getting better? |
25923 | Why do you ask?" |
25923 | Why do you imagine the vessel you saw was an auxiliary cruiser?" |
25923 | Why does a boiler prime?" |
25923 | Why have you changed?" |
25923 | Why should it make matters better if I''d owned to being drunk?" |
25923 | Will you promise?" |
25923 | Will you show me the cablegram?" |
25923 | Will you take a cigar?" |
25923 | Will you wait while I go to the telephone?" |
25923 | Would any other folk except perhaps the Germans, couple an invitation with a hint that they were ready to trade? |
25923 | Would that please you?" |
25923 | You guessed the captain''s plan from what you heard outside the room?" |
25923 | You have a motorcycle, I think?" |
25923 | You have been attacked once already, I think?" |
25923 | You have been here all the time? |
25923 | You have seen Jake at his work; do you think he''ll make an engineer?" |
25923 | You have seen it?" |
25923 | You pumped up the water pretty high?" |
25923 | You see how luck favors us?" |
25923 | You see what this implies?" |
25923 | You understand it will ruin me? |
25923 | You''re convinced at last?" |
25923 | You''re going on to the lagoon?" |
25923 | You''re something of what they''re pleased to call a progressive, are n''t you? |
27908 | A joke; and you say you''re not getting better.--I say, what were we talking about? 27908 A try? |
27908 | About that? 27908 About the enemy?" |
27908 | After I got out of the snow? |
27908 | Ah, Sergeant, you here? |
27908 | Ah, then he knows that fellow? |
27908 | Ai n''t it wonderful, sir? 27908 Ai n''t it, sir? |
27908 | Ai n''t them two chummy? |
27908 | Ai n''t took bad, am I? 27908 All about what? |
27908 | All about what? |
27908 | All here? |
27908 | All ready? |
27908 | All right, sir; but ca n''t yer tell me what to do? |
27908 | All right, sir? |
27908 | All well? |
27908 | And I ought to shoot as straight as I can, ought n''t I? |
27908 | And after that? |
27908 | And get into the valley on the other side, sir,''fore we go on east''ard? |
27908 | And hide again, sir? 27908 And it do n''t matter, sir, now?" |
27908 | And lastly? |
27908 | And plenty? |
27908 | And rob you all at such a time of need, sir? |
27908 | And send out a few scouts? |
27908 | And that you hit out and kick at people like that without being able to help it? |
27908 | And the rain helps when they''re all in the clouds up there, I suppose, sir? |
27908 | And we sha n''t go-- eh? |
27908 | And what about them yonder? |
27908 | And what about you, sir? |
27908 | And what did I tell you about the old man seeing as far into a millstone as is necessary for being on the safe side? |
27908 | And what did he say? |
27908 | And when we were right up on that farthest peak last week, and looked north, what did we see then? |
27908 | And you are no further with the Dwats? |
27908 | And you do think he is, Doctor? |
27908 | And you, Drummond? 27908 Any one hurt?" |
27908 | Any one touched? |
27908 | Anything else? |
27908 | Anything wrong, sir? |
27908 | Are they going to drive the flock into the courtyard? |
27908 | Are we? |
27908 | Are we?--Just, hark at him.--Where have you been? |
27908 | Are yer, sir? |
27908 | Are you asleep in there? |
27908 | Are you better now? |
27908 | Are you fellows fond of shooting? |
27908 | Bad? |
27908 | Be on the alert for a rush, and fire at once if you see anything.--You will have the gates opened, I presume? |
27908 | Beg pardon, sir,puffed the lad;"would n''t you rayther lead?" |
27908 | Beg pardon, sir; why not lay him on the stone again, and let him slide down easy? 27908 Behind, sir? |
27908 | Better, Gedge? |
27908 | Boys? 27908 Bracy worse?" |
27908 | Bracy, are you deaf? |
27908 | Bracy, my dear boy, you here? |
27908 | Bring your gun? |
27908 | Broken your eyeglass? |
27908 | Bullet-- eh? 27908 But Colonel Wrayford,"said Bracy,"he declined, of course-- at once?" |
27908 | But about you, sir? 27908 But all the snow melts away some time in the year?" |
27908 | But do n''t you remember, sir, any more than that? |
27908 | But had we not better go down and give the alarm? |
27908 | But he said something? |
27908 | But how are you? |
27908 | But how in the world could he fight like the Doctor says he did? |
27908 | But really, sir, do you mean to tell me that when your arm was laid acrost your chest you could n''t get it away? |
27908 | But tell me-- the Dwats are collecting again-- are they not? |
27908 | But the enemy? |
27908 | But the news? |
27908 | But the thing is what? |
27908 | But the wound is not fatal? |
27908 | But what about footmarks afterwards, sir? 27908 But what have you got here-- tiger?" |
27908 | But what''s that you were saying about the enemy? |
27908 | But where are they now? |
27908 | But with a ridgement, sir? |
27908 | But you are hurting me horribly; and ca n''t you see that, carrying me like this, you may receive the next bullet? |
27908 | But you will not be hurt now? 27908 But, by the way, if we two are pig- headed, are n''t you rather hoggish-- hedge- hoggish? |
27908 | But, say, sir, as we''re resting might n''t we just as well have a bite? |
27908 | By the way, Gedge, have you noticed anything particular about Mr Bracy when you''ve been with him? |
27908 | Ca n''t some of us come and help, sir? |
27908 | Call, sir? 27908 Can yer roll off, sir, and lie on yer face?" |
27908 | Can you give me some? |
27908 | Can you keep him up? |
27908 | Can you make out any strong body stealthily approaching, Mr Bracy? |
27908 | Can you make out what they are doing, sir? |
27908 | Can you see that? |
27908 | Can you see them, Gedge? |
27908 | Can you walk at all? |
27908 | Charge through''em, or stop and let''em have it? 27908 Cold water cure-- eh, my lad?" |
27908 | Cold, sir? 27908 Come now; what do you know? |
27908 | Could I eat now, sir? |
27908 | Could you eat now? |
27908 | D''yer hear, sir? 27908 Danger?" |
27908 | Dead? |
27908 | Did I seem incoherent before? |
27908 | Did I? |
27908 | Did any one else see the enemy? |
27908 | Did n''t hear what I said, did he? |
27908 | Did n''t quite hear what you said, sir; safe from what? |
27908 | Did n''t the doctor tell you? |
27908 | Did n''t they get through? |
27908 | Did n''t you say we must soon be thinking of shooting something for rations? |
27908 | Did yer, sir? 27908 Did you do that, Bracy?" |
27908 | Did you get home? |
27908 | Did you hear the firing last night? |
27908 | Did you hear what I said, sir? |
27908 | Did you hit him, Gedge? |
27908 | Did you? 27908 Die? |
27908 | Directly, sir? |
27908 | Disgrace myself, sir? |
27908 | Do n''t think they''re after us-- do you, sir? |
27908 | Do n''t you feel as if you want to shout? |
27908 | Do yer, sir? 27908 Do you feel the cold, Gedge?" |
27908 | Do you smell that? |
27908 | Do you think I''m shamming, then, sir? |
27908 | Do you think that I should let it go on if I could, Doctor? |
27908 | Do you think the bullet is still there, sir? |
27908 | Do you think, sir, I do n''t understand my profession? |
27908 | Do you want me to look upon you as a contemptible cur? |
27908 | Do? 27908 Does n''t it?" |
27908 | Doing what? |
27908 | Drink o''water, sir? 27908 Eh? |
27908 | Eh? 27908 Eh? |
27908 | Eh? 27908 Eh? |
27908 | Eh? |
27908 | Enemies of our visitors this morning? |
27908 | Felt any more of that sprain, Smith? |
27908 | Fight? 27908 Final?" |
27908 | For me, sir? |
27908 | For such mere boys? |
27908 | From the east, sir? 27908 Gedge, are you going to fail me in this terrible emergency?" |
27908 | Get picked off? |
27908 | Get through? 27908 Getting pumped, pardner?" |
27908 | Giving the men a lecture? 27908 Glad of it, sir?" |
27908 | Glad? |
27908 | Goats? 27908 Going? |
27908 | Got it carrying Mr Bracy out of the fire-- eh? |
27908 | Had n''t we better play the same game, sir? |
27908 | Hard, sir? 27908 Have I said something stupid-- a bull?" |
27908 | Have a bit to suck, sir? |
27908 | Have n''t given them all they wanted, have we? |
27908 | Have we had news? |
27908 | Have we passed the rocks along which we saw that body of men moving? |
27908 | Have you everything? |
27908 | He proposed that? |
27908 | He told you that? |
27908 | Hear that, you black- muzzled old women? 27908 Hear that?" |
27908 | Helpless and weak? 27908 Here, Bracy, what''s the matter?" |
27908 | Here, Gedge, how are you getting on? |
27908 | Here, I say-- what does that mean? 27908 Here, how am I to speak if you boys keep on interrupting?" |
27908 | Here-- where is it? |
27908 | Hero, sir? 27908 Hit? |
27908 | How am I to go and leave the gov''nor when he wants me as he does? 27908 How are the supplies?" |
27908 | How are you, my lads-- in much pain? |
27908 | How are you? 27908 How are you?" |
27908 | How can you expect the strength to come till the wound is healed? |
27908 | How could I, sir? 27908 How could they distinguish between our shots and those of the enemy you can hear crackling?" |
27908 | How dare I, sir? |
27908 | How did you get it? |
27908 | How do you know? |
27908 | How do you know? |
27908 | How do, nurse? |
27908 | How far did I come down? |
27908 | How has Mr Bracy been? |
27908 | How high, sir? |
27908 | How is it with them there? |
27908 | How many men down? |
27908 | How many men shall I lose? |
27908 | How near? |
27908 | How would this do? |
27908 | How''s the sprain, my lad? |
27908 | Hurt much, matey? |
27908 | Hurt yer, sir? |
27908 | Hurt, Drummond? |
27908 | Hurt? |
27908 | I do n''t like them games of the guvnor''s,said Gedge to himself.--"Guvnor? |
27908 | I dunno,said another;"but ai n''t the wind cold up here?" |
27908 | I say, old chaps, though-- you do n''t think I am rash, do you? |
27908 | I say, sir,he said,"ketched me a spank right there.--Is my''elmet spoiled?" |
27908 | I say, what do you think of that for a fit? |
27908 | I say,he said,"does your Doctor always talk shop like that?" |
27908 | I should have a bullet through him''fore he could lift his sword,said Gedge to himself;"but what''s the good o''that? |
27908 | I suppose you have not had your two patients taken to the hospital yet? |
27908 | I was not to question you? 27908 I? |
27908 | I? 27908 If I can eat, sir?" |
27908 | If they want to fight, why do n''t they come down and have it out like men? |
27908 | In much pain? |
27908 | Insult yer, sir? 27908 Is his wound serious, Doctor?" |
27908 | Is it good up here? |
27908 | Is it, sir? 27908 Is it, sir?" |
27908 | Is the poor fellow off his head? |
27908 | It is hard-- the worst of it? |
27908 | It''s all right, sir, now, sir; ai n''t it, Mr Bracy? |
27908 | It''s horrid, sir; but, begging your pardon, sir, how''s Mr Bracy? |
27908 | Light cavalry? |
27908 | Like him? |
27908 | Like it? |
27908 | Like it? |
27908 | Like some more ice, sir? |
27908 | Like we did, sir, when you three gentlemen come and whistled us from the side o''them falls? |
27908 | Likely to be any bears, sir? |
27908 | Look for yerself.-- Did n''t yer see, pardners? 27908 Lurch? |
27908 | Me, sir? 27908 Me, sir? |
27908 | Me, sir? 27908 Me? |
27908 | Mean by what, sir? 27908 Mean by-- mean by what?" |
27908 | More like the bleat of an innocent calf,said Roberts--"eh, Bracy?" |
27908 | Much hurt? |
27908 | My patients? 27908 My poor feet ai n''t froze hard, are they?" |
27908 | News? 27908 No news, sir?" |
27908 | Nor those chaps as was stalking us? |
27908 | Not an attack, surely? 27908 Not badly hurt?" |
27908 | Not by the mountains above the Gor Pass, sir? |
27908 | Not by the''elmets, sir? |
27908 | Not coming this way, sir? |
27908 | Not hurt, I hope? |
27908 | Not if we fired both together, sir? |
27908 | Not try at any of the villages? |
27908 | Not uppards? 27908 Not wounded?" |
27908 | Now then-- the lid-- the lid-- and the strap through the buckle, and the buckle-- done it-- me go to sleep-- on dooty, Sergeant? 27908 Now, sir, what do you say? |
27908 | Now, then, are you ready? |
27908 | Now, then, where will they try to break in? |
27908 | Now, what can I do? |
27908 | Of course it does; but what is it, old fellow? 27908 Of course,"said Bracy rather vacantly--"in the night?" |
27908 | Of course; and what is all that but a kind of waking ill- dream, which you invent and build up for yourself? 27908 Oh yes, I heard: but what do these fellows know about it?" |
27908 | Oh, I see,said Drummond, smiling;"been lying in an awkward position, I suppose?" |
27908 | Oh, could n''t he? 27908 Oh, do n''t I, sir? |
27908 | Oh, do n''t I? 27908 Oh, is he? |
27908 | Oh, that was it-- eh? 27908 Oh, that, sir? |
27908 | Oh, then we shall have a better road to- day? |
27908 | Oh? 27908 Once more, are you quite satisfied that you have selected the right lad?" |
27908 | One of the party-- I think it''s the one with the scar on his face, but I ca n''t be sure--"Ca n''t you tell him? |
27908 | Only tulwars and those horrible knives-- eh? |
27908 | Orspital, sir? 27908 Ought I to go and warn that woman of his antics? |
27908 | Our debt? |
27908 | Our lads, sir? 27908 Pain? |
27908 | Perfectly; but can nothing be done? |
27908 | Play? 27908 Pleasant? |
27908 | Quarter of a mile-- eh? 27908 Rats? |
27908 | Ready for another, sir? |
27908 | Ready? |
27908 | Right in among the enemy, my lad? |
27908 | Right, sir; I''m not grumbling; we''re a- going to do it; but do n''t it seem rum? 27908 Right, sir; but had n''t I better lie t''other side of you? |
27908 | S''pose there''ll be a valley t''other side, sir? |
27908 | Safe from what, sir? |
27908 | Safe into camp? |
27908 | Same sort, sir? |
27908 | Say, gov''nor,he cried,"you''ve got a bigger stock than you''ll get shut of to- day.--Eh? |
27908 | See Drummond just now? |
27908 | See a bear on one of the hills? |
27908 | See anything of them? |
27908 | See anything? |
27908 | See that green patch with the snow- pyramid rising out of it? |
27908 | See us, sir? |
27908 | See''em, sir? 27908 Sergeant, sir? |
27908 | Shall I make a fire, sir? |
27908 | Shall us, sir? 27908 Shall we have to go back, Sergeant?" |
27908 | Shall you what? |
27908 | She is quite well now, Doctor-- is she not? |
27908 | Sir? |
27908 | Sir? |
27908 | Snow? |
27908 | So you made a dash? |
27908 | Something like them ways over the snow, like you goes for the bears and sheep, sir? |
27908 | Sometimes? 27908 Standing on ceremony-- eh, gentlemen?" |
27908 | Stiff, Gedge? |
27908 | Suppose, while we''re lying in the snow, one or two of the ruffians come and stumble right over us? |
27908 | Tell me this, though: are you satisfied to go? |
27908 | Tell me, then: can you cure it? 27908 Thanks,"said Bracy.--"You hear that, Gedge?" |
27908 | That mountain with a big point and a little un, sir? |
27908 | That settles the question, then, as to route; but ought n''t we to have flankers out? |
27908 | That was it-- was it? 27908 That you, Gee?" |
27908 | That''s right; so you are,said the Doctor, who had just come to the door.--"Ah, Mr Drummond, you here?" |
27908 | The beggars try to stalk you, then, sometimes? |
27908 | The doctor? 27908 The show''s over; and look-- you can see that?" |
27908 | The what? |
27908 | Then there is something else? |
27908 | Then there''s no fracture? |
27908 | Then they''ve took the beggars''camp, sir? |
27908 | Then why do n''t you try to brace yourself up-- be bracy by nature as well as by name-- eh? 27908 Then would n''t it be a good time for us to be having a refresher, sir?" |
27908 | Then you do believe me now? |
27908 | Then you do n''t think it''s anything to mind? |
27908 | Then you mean to go on at once? |
27908 | Then you still think that these are enemies? |
27908 | Then you think they''ll renew their attacks, sir? |
27908 | Then you will go with me? |
27908 | Then you would n''t tell the Doctor about it? |
27908 | Then you''re all right for provisions? |
27908 | Then you''re hit by a stone? |
27908 | Then, in the name of all that''s sensible, why do n''t you extract it? |
27908 | Then, what more do you want? |
27908 | There,he said to Drummond,"you heard that?" |
27908 | There; what did I tell you? |
27908 | They ca n''t see us here-- can they? |
27908 | They''re regular curs, are they not, sir-- these Dwats? |
27908 | Think so, sir? 27908 Think so, sir?" |
27908 | Think so, sir? |
27908 | Think there''s a tremenjus fire somewhere, sir? |
27908 | Think they''ll rally, Gedge? |
27908 | Think you could drop down with the stream and land somewhere near the fort to tell them how we''re pressed? |
27908 | This fellow has not been assaulting you, has he? |
27908 | Those boots right, Judkins? |
27908 | Tight? 27908 To make tea or coffee, or to boil eggs, my lad?" |
27908 | To make the rivers, sir? |
27908 | To save yours, sir? |
27908 | Too rich? 27908 Trouble, sir? |
27908 | Very bad, Doctor? |
27908 | Warn''t it, sir? 27908 Was I bleeding to death?" |
27908 | Was I? 27908 Was it likely that I should take them at a time like this?" |
27908 | Was it really well deserved? |
27908 | Was it you who fired? |
27908 | Was n''t it enough to make me weak, my lad? |
27908 | Was that a signal? |
27908 | We are n''t worse, are we, and all this a sort o''nightmare before we loses ourselves altogether? |
27908 | We could keep them off by good shooting, Gedge, while it is light; but what about the darkness? |
27908 | Well hidden, are we not, Gedge? |
27908 | Well, I shall feel more comfortable when my Colonel knows-- eh, Roberts? |
27908 | Well, Sergeant? |
27908 | Well, ca n''t we? |
27908 | Well, do n''t you want to know where we''re going? |
27908 | Well, my lads,said Roberts, stepping to where the three men crouched gazing at the deep, rushing water;"feel strong enough to start?" |
27908 | Well, not quite, but pretty frequently-- eh, Roberts? |
27908 | Well, what are we waiting for? |
27908 | Well, what is it? |
27908 | Well, what of that? 27908 Well,"said Bracy faintly,"what do you make out?" |
27908 | Well? |
27908 | Well? |
27908 | What about ammunition? |
27908 | What about the messengers he has sent, Bracy? 27908 What about your men? |
27908 | What about, sir? |
27908 | What are those two fellows doing there? |
27908 | What are you doing? |
27908 | What are you going there for? |
27908 | What are you going to do, my lad? |
27908 | What are you going to do? |
27908 | What are you laughing at? |
27908 | What comes so soon? |
27908 | What did he say? |
27908 | What do you know about it, stoopid? |
27908 | What do you know about such things? |
27908 | What do you mean? |
27908 | What do you mean? |
27908 | What do you mean? |
27908 | What do you mean? |
27908 | What do you mean? |
27908 | What do you mean? |
27908 | What do you mean? |
27908 | What do you propose doing now? |
27908 | What do you say, Bracy? |
27908 | What do you think of them? |
27908 | What do you think of your patients this morning? |
27908 | What does that mean? |
27908 | What does the Doctor say? |
27908 | What does this mean? |
27908 | What for? 27908 What is going on now?" |
27908 | What is it? |
27908 | What is it? |
27908 | What is it? |
27908 | What is it? |
27908 | What is it? |
27908 | What made you laugh at such a time? |
27908 | What old epitaph? |
27908 | What superfluous fat? |
27908 | What the dickens did you do that for? |
27908 | What was that? |
27908 | What yer swinging about half a mile away for? 27908 What''s a haverlarnsh?" |
27908 | What''s he doing? |
27908 | What''s that you''re thinking-- rather absurd to get out two companies to drive in a flock of sheep? |
27908 | What''s that, Bracy? |
27908 | What''s that? |
27908 | What''s that? |
27908 | What''s the matter? |
27908 | What''s the matter? |
27908 | What''s the meaning of this, sir? |
27908 | What''s to be done? |
27908 | What, and keep the Colonel waiting? |
27908 | What, do you mean? |
27908 | What, the Dwat you may call''ems? |
27908 | What? |
27908 | When you made that sound? |
27908 | Where are the others? |
27908 | Where are the pheasants? |
27908 | Where are you hurt? |
27908 | Where ha''you got to? |
27908 | Where''s Gedge? |
27908 | Where-- where? |
27908 | Which way, sir? |
27908 | Which you mean to be sarcastic? |
27908 | Who told you that stuff? |
27908 | Who''s going to tell tales out of school? 27908 Who''s this?" |
27908 | Whom will you send, sir? |
27908 | Why did n''t Drummond come to see me yesterday? 27908 Why do n''t they make him curnel?" |
27908 | Why do n''t you ask me yourself, Judkins? |
27908 | Why do n''t you, then? |
27908 | Why does n''t Graves send out another company to cover us? |
27908 | Why, Gedge, my lad, how are you-- how are you getting on? |
27908 | Why, you vain peacock of a fellow, who do you think is going to notice the size of your head? |
27908 | Why? |
27908 | Why? |
27908 | Why? |
27908 | Why? |
27908 | Why? |
27908 | Why? |
27908 | Why? |
27908 | Why? |
27908 | Why? |
27908 | Will they-- won''t they? |
27908 | With a regiment of raw boys? |
27908 | With plenty of places for stone- throwers? |
27908 | Wo n''t die-- will he, sir? |
27908 | Worse, sir? 27908 Worse, sir?" |
27908 | Worse? 27908 Would you have thought it so steep that he could have slithered away like that? |
27908 | Would you mind having a look at the other two lots now, sir, to see what they''re doing? |
27908 | Wound trouble you much still? |
27908 | Wuth it, sir, every twinge; and as to being a hopeless cripple, what''s that so long as there''s plenty o''crutches to be had? 27908 Yes, Gedge,"said the young officer thoughtfully;"what next?" |
27908 | Yes, is n''t it? 27908 Yes, sir, that''s it, ai n''t it?" |
27908 | Yes, sir; not inside? |
27908 | Yes,said Bracy thoughtfully; and then:"How long have I been lying here?" |
27908 | Yes; and then? |
27908 | Yes; but has he exhibited any of those peculiar phenomena? |
27908 | Yes; did n''t you hear me hollering? |
27908 | Yes; not big, is it? |
27908 | Yes? |
27908 | Yes? |
27908 | You are quite strong now, Bracy? |
27908 | You can tell the Ghoorkha Colonel--"Yes, sir? |
27908 | You dare not extract it? |
27908 | You did call to me, then? |
27908 | You did n''t take those pills, then? |
27908 | You did that? |
27908 | You do n''t believe in all this being involuntary, Gedge? |
27908 | You do n''t suppose I want to have the poor fellows cut or shot down to keep me busy-- do you? |
27908 | You do n''t suppose I was going to stand still and let the wretches massycree my patients-- do you, Doctor? |
27908 | You do? |
27908 | You have noticed it? |
27908 | You have women and children yonder? |
27908 | You have your band, then? |
27908 | You hear me, sir? |
27908 | You mean that, sir? |
27908 | You mean to stay the winter, then? |
27908 | You others? |
27908 | You spoke as if you did? |
27908 | You think the enemy may make a rush, sir, as soon as the gates are open? |
27908 | You think there is, then? |
27908 | You think they mean to follow us up, Gedge? |
27908 | You would n''t have gone and left me, sir? |
27908 | You''re not sure, of course? |
27908 | You''ve been in a tight corner, then? |
27908 | Yus, sir, going; but what about coming back? |
27908 | ''Nother five hundred yards right for that lot o''twenty, and then slide off and open fire-- eh?" |
27908 | ''Saulting him, sir?" |
27908 | A few close by are a bit shy; but, look here, when we get right up on the shoulder of that left- hand peak and look north what do we see?" |
27908 | Ah, what does that mean?" |
27908 | Ai n''t I just as likely to be shot if I stop quiet here? |
27908 | Ai n''t I''bliged to keep ree- treating?" |
27908 | Ai n''t going to croak, am I? |
27908 | Ai n''t got froze, have you-- hands or feet?" |
27908 | Ai n''t got such a thing as a doctor about yer, have you?" |
27908 | Ai n''t got the stock skretched, hev it?" |
27908 | Ai n''t hit, are yer?" |
27908 | Ai n''t it really?" |
27908 | Ai n''t this jolly, sir? |
27908 | Ai n''t we come miles this morning?" |
27908 | Aintcher got it bad enough as it is?" |
27908 | All right, sir? |
27908 | And what about you, Gedge?" |
27908 | Any one there?" |
27908 | Anything else?" |
27908 | Are there any symptoms suggestive of what you hint at?" |
27908 | Are these men quite alone?" |
27908 | Are they patches of snow I can see in there among the trees?" |
27908 | Are they well in hiding?" |
27908 | Are you all right, sir?" |
27908 | Are you hurt there?" |
27908 | Are you in pain?" |
27908 | Are you mad?" |
27908 | Are you satisfied now?" |
27908 | Are you shamming, or are you off your head?" |
27908 | As big a man as old Gee?" |
27908 | As to the risk-- is it not risk enough to stay?" |
27908 | Be any use to begin, sir, like for signals to show we''re here?" |
27908 | Be the death of you? |
27908 | Beg pardon, sir; are we going to wade the river?" |
27908 | Better soon; but, I say, did you fetch me in?" |
27908 | But I say, old fellow, can you imagine it to be possible that Gee fell in love with that female dragon?" |
27908 | But I say, sir, who''s hurt? |
27908 | But after you got out of the snow?" |
27908 | But are you mad?" |
27908 | But do n''t you think we ought to make one try to get down to them, sir? |
27908 | But do you really think that dodge would do?" |
27908 | But it do n''t matter, sir-- do it?--not a bit, as the swelling''s going down?" |
27908 | But no flam: can you really make out all that?" |
27908 | But tell me; have I been asleep?" |
27908 | But what about covering for our heads?" |
27908 | But what can you see?" |
27908 | But what d''yer think, sir?" |
27908 | But what then?" |
27908 | But what''s he going to do? |
27908 | But what''s the matter? |
27908 | But who are you?" |
27908 | But why is it? |
27908 | But you-- you? |
27908 | But, I say, you two have n''t had much fighting, I suppose?" |
27908 | By the way, though, have you noticed how splendidly our lads are behaving?" |
27908 | Ca n''t be done, I suppose?" |
27908 | Ca n''t hear what they say, I suppose?" |
27908 | Ca n''t make out anything, can you?" |
27908 | Ca n''t you see him tossing his head about? |
27908 | Ca n''t you see it''s like a smooth wall, with the water running by it like a railway train?" |
27908 | Can yer get out?" |
27908 | Can you keep up, sir?" |
27908 | Can you stop these terrible contractions?" |
27908 | Can you suggest a better?" |
27908 | Can you understand any of his lingo?" |
27908 | Chess?" |
27908 | Climb up the side somehow? |
27908 | Come now-- didn''t you two think something of that kind too?" |
27908 | Come now; when?" |
27908 | Come, you''ll own that you''re well as ever now?" |
27908 | Could n''t we steal a march on''em somehow, sir? |
27908 | Did n''t I say there was life in a mussel? |
27908 | Did n''t Mother Gee give me''em all ready for sewing up bandages and seeing to wounds? |
27908 | Did n''t you hear from our messengers?" |
27908 | Did n''t you see the Colonel put his tongue in his cheek and say,` Likely''?" |
27908 | Did n''t you, sir?" |
27908 | Did yer?" |
27908 | Did you do that, sir?" |
27908 | Did you see how he looked at me?" |
27908 | Did you think I meant to stay here?" |
27908 | Did you, my lad?" |
27908 | Did you, sir?" |
27908 | Did you?" |
27908 | Do n''t say you''re hurt?" |
27908 | Do n''t you see-- right in front, four or five hundred yards away-- those four men stalking us? |
27908 | Do n''t you see?" |
27908 | Do n''t you see?" |
27908 | Do n''t you think we might edge in more towards the snow?" |
27908 | Do n''t you think we''d better lie down behind some of the stones and pick a few of''em off as they come up?" |
27908 | Do n''t you?" |
27908 | Do tell me, sir; are yer all right?" |
27908 | Do you hear?" |
27908 | Do you know I have poor fellows in the next room in a precarious state?" |
27908 | Do you understand me?" |
27908 | Do you, sir?" |
27908 | Does n''t it to you?" |
27908 | Dropped my eyeglass, sir? |
27908 | Feel as if I could drink like a squelchy- welchy.--Here, I s''y, where''s my rifle?" |
27908 | Feel better?" |
27908 | Find Mr Bracy better, sir?" |
27908 | Get yer a drink, sir?" |
27908 | Got the cartridges handy?" |
27908 | Ha''they got any orspitals or doctors?" |
27908 | Had n''t we better get right, into shelter?" |
27908 | Had you any idea of it before this morning?" |
27908 | Has he got a club in the bed?" |
27908 | Has he kicked at you, or struck you, or done anything of that kind?" |
27908 | Have they made us out?" |
27908 | Have you got plenty of cartridges?" |
27908 | He does n''t mean what he says-- eh, Morton?" |
27908 | Hear me laugh, sir?" |
27908 | Hear''em buzz?" |
27908 | Hear''em puffing and breathing?" |
27908 | Here yer are, sir; which''ll yer''ave, strorbry or rarsbry? |
27908 | Here, I s''y; I went down, did n''t I?" |
27908 | Here, I say, mateys, where''s my bay''net? |
27908 | Here, what yer been doing to make my head ache like this here? |
27908 | Here, who did it? |
27908 | Higher than''Amstead, ai n''t it, sir?" |
27908 | Hit him, sir?" |
27908 | Holes?" |
27908 | How am I to go on duty? |
27908 | How am I to see my way?" |
27908 | How are you, Bracy-- not hit?" |
27908 | How can I be stronger when I am as weak as a baby, unable to move hand or foot? |
27908 | How can one trust them? |
27908 | How could he know we were ten thousand foot high? |
27908 | How dare you play me such a trick as this?" |
27908 | How dare you, sir? |
27908 | How did you get on in the night, after you began to breathe again? |
27908 | How many more times are we going to run the gauntlet and not get hit?" |
27908 | How soon are we going to halt for a feed and rest?" |
27908 | How''s your nut?" |
27908 | How''s your wound?" |
27908 | How, then, do you think our lads could get along below there?" |
27908 | Hurt your head a bit-- didn''t you, sir?" |
27908 | I could hear the war- cries.--Yes, Roberts-- the rascals worrying us again?" |
27908 | I do n''t like this exit so close to the vertebrae.-- That hurt?" |
27908 | I heered Sergeant Gee say we should be at it''fore long, and that these here-- what do they call''em?" |
27908 | I know how you feel-- want to come and have another go in at the Dwats?" |
27908 | I may go on doing up your leg, though?" |
27908 | I never went to sleep-- did I, pardner?" |
27908 | I say, I know you''ve got a mother, but have you any sisters?" |
27908 | I say, I suppose we shall follow this stream right away now?" |
27908 | I say, any more of these niggers coming in to make peace?" |
27908 | I say, he''s a rum chap, is n''t he?" |
27908 | I say, heard the news?" |
27908 | I say, lads, how come they to have pipes like our fellows? |
27908 | I say, sir, did you finish your rations?" |
27908 | I say, though, have bears got tails? |
27908 | I say, though, that ice- climbing in the mountains is splendid-- isn''t it? |
27908 | I say, though, think we shall have a row?" |
27908 | I say, though-- never mind that-- have either of you fellows a spare pair of boots? |
27908 | I say, why do n''t he holler?--I could hear him a mile away-- or use his whistle? |
27908 | I say-- think the bullet is still there?" |
27908 | I say; I wonder whether pheasants feel the same as I do when they''re beginning to be driven to the end of a spinney?" |
27908 | I think I can trust you, Gedge?" |
27908 | I was walking up and down like a clockwork himidge.--Sleep at my post? |
27908 | I''d a deal rather make caps with''em; would n''t you?" |
27908 | I''ve been wonderfully successful with all my cases-- have I not?" |
27908 | If every one had acted in that spirit, where should we have been all through India?" |
27908 | If it is n''t so big now it''s getting better,''cos it was getting bigger and bigger last night-- warn''t it, sir?" |
27908 | If they do--""Well, what?" |
27908 | If you get the ridgement o''little chaps and saves the fort, it means your company, do n''t it-- Captain?" |
27908 | Is he much hurt?" |
27908 | Is it much farther?" |
27908 | Is it too hot?" |
27908 | Is n''t it disgusting for the poor fellows? |
27908 | Is the flock coming nearer?" |
27908 | It was, shall I be a goner?" |
27908 | It''s waste of ammunition to fire from here, and-- Who''s that down?" |
27908 | Larks-- eh? |
27908 | Let''em in? |
27908 | Looks more icy.--What say? |
27908 | Me sleep at my post? |
27908 | Mr Drummond would like to see, perhaps, how we arrange for our men who are down?" |
27908 | Mr Drummond, I think? |
27908 | Mrs Gee?" |
27908 | My boys did n''t do that?" |
27908 | Not let him sleep long? |
27908 | Not sleep? |
27908 | Now then, sir, what next?" |
27908 | Now, can you explain to me why it was that as soon as I was marching by those poor women yonder I could think of nothing but my people at home?" |
27908 | Now, then, what did you see?" |
27908 | Now, then, what does he say to that?" |
27908 | Now, what next? |
27908 | Now, which of you, I wonder, will be the first to give me a call?" |
27908 | Of course we must fight; and the sooner the scoundrels give us the chance the better-- eh, Graham?" |
27908 | Oh, Mr Bracy-- sir-- ain''t-- half-- dead-- are-- yer?" |
27908 | Order me to go?" |
27908 | Our lads-- they ai n''t being cut up, sir, are they?" |
27908 | Precious nuisance, is n''t it?" |
27908 | Ready, my lads? |
27908 | Ready, sir?" |
27908 | Ready, sir?" |
27908 | Ready? |
27908 | Same as I said last night?" |
27908 | See?" |
27908 | Seen them?" |
27908 | Shall I bring''em on?" |
27908 | Shall I cut it or will you try and bear a wrench?" |
27908 | Shall I? |
27908 | Shall we ever get away?" |
27908 | Shall we get to the wood?" |
27908 | Shall we have it much worse by- and- by?" |
27908 | Slep''? |
27908 | So did he; did n''t you, Bracy?" |
27908 | So would he-- wouldn''t you, pardner?" |
27908 | Spoiled my lovely looks a bit-- eh? |
27908 | Spoon? |
27908 | Still, you have some confidences to make?" |
27908 | Surely he is not going to trust them?" |
27908 | Surely you have not chosen him for your companion?" |
27908 | Tell me, can you control yourself when those fits come on? |
27908 | The Colonel''s going to let a lot of''em come in and help do duty in the place-- isn''t he?" |
27908 | Then Roberts spoke:"You can swim, Drummond?" |
27908 | Then aloud:"That hurt yer, sir?" |
27908 | Then the Colonel ai n''t retreating?" |
27908 | Then you sews the top edges, turns the thing inside out, and--""Well, and what?" |
27908 | Then, aloud,"How are you getting on there, my lads?" |
27908 | There, sir, will that satisfy you?" |
27908 | There, sir-- hear that?" |
27908 | These thingamy Dwats have come down to make peace-- haven''t they?" |
27908 | They''ll be all that before they get here-- won''t they?" |
27908 | Think I''d cut away from one o''them black- looking, bed- gown biddies? |
27908 | Think Sergeant Gee meant it, sir, or was it only showing off?" |
27908 | Think they get through with the despatches? |
27908 | Think they have seen us?" |
27908 | Think they''ll attack us after dark?" |
27908 | Think we could get right across now?" |
27908 | Think we shall come back this way?" |
27908 | Think you can?" |
27908 | Toothpicks, our lads calls''em; and the little fellows the Toothpick Brigade.--Tired, sir?" |
27908 | Voluntary action, do n''t you call it? |
27908 | WHICH WAS BRAVER? |
27908 | Want the glass?" |
27908 | Want to drown him? |
27908 | Was n''t it right? |
27908 | Was there an attack?" |
27908 | Watching those Dwats?" |
27908 | We''re getting among the wild bees, ai n''t us? |
27908 | We''ve got here.--How do, Captain? |
27908 | Well, Bracy, my lad, wounds easier?" |
27908 | Well, any news, Colonel?" |
27908 | Well, then, draughts?" |
27908 | Well, what next?" |
27908 | Well, why not? |
27908 | Well, you fellows will help us to do the work?" |
27908 | Were n''t you?" |
27908 | Were you in that explosion I heard?" |
27908 | What about those boots?" |
27908 | What about your sheepskin coat? |
27908 | What are you going to do?" |
27908 | What d''yer think o''that, sir?" |
27908 | What did you expect me to say?" |
27908 | What do you mean by that?" |
27908 | What do you say to a game or two every day? |
27908 | What do you say to dominoes? |
27908 | What do you say, Roberts?" |
27908 | What do you think that thick- lipped, black- bearded ruffian proposed?" |
27908 | What do you think?" |
27908 | What do you think?" |
27908 | What does this mean?" |
27908 | What for? |
27908 | What has size got to do with it? |
27908 | What have you got there, Jones?" |
27908 | What is it?" |
27908 | What makes you do it, sir?" |
27908 | What next?" |
27908 | What the dickens do you mean?" |
27908 | What then?" |
27908 | What yer want me to do?" |
27908 | What''s a chap to do?" |
27908 | What''s that?" |
27908 | What''s the boss saying?" |
27908 | What''s the good o''saying you could n''t help it, sir? |
27908 | What''s the matter with you? |
27908 | What''s the matter? |
27908 | What''s the matter? |
27908 | When am I to start?" |
27908 | When ought I to start?" |
27908 | Where is the lunch?" |
27908 | Where''s Mr Drummond?" |
27908 | Whereabouts is it? |
27908 | Which way will you go, sir? |
27908 | Who indeed?" |
27908 | Who says hoky- poky?" |
27908 | Who thinks you disagreeable?" |
27908 | Who would n''t be a sergeant? |
27908 | Who would n''t be a soldier of the Queen?" |
27908 | Who''s a- going to halt with them firing at us like that from behind? |
27908 | Who''s got my''elmet?" |
27908 | Whom would you select-- the best you know?" |
27908 | Why in the world does n''t he try another way to Ghittah?" |
27908 | Why? |
27908 | Will you come and look?" |
27908 | Wo n''t be able to see''em much longer-- will you, sir?" |
27908 | Wo n''t come back to fetch it-- will they?" |
27908 | Wolves? |
27908 | Would n''t have had a one- legged un in the ridgiment, sir-- would yer?" |
27908 | Would you mind ordering me to see if there''s any bits left?" |
27908 | Wound hurt?" |
27908 | You boys had any sport to- day?" |
27908 | You do n''t believe in these fellows, then?" |
27908 | You do n''t expect to? |
27908 | You do n''t mean that the Scotch and Irish pipes had their origin out here?" |
27908 | You do n''t mean to say that you can see more in that direction?" |
27908 | You do n''t think I''m wild and harum- scarum, do you-- regularly rash?" |
27908 | You do n''t want to go?" |
27908 | You hear, Mrs Gee?" |
27908 | You heard about me getting in for it?" |
27908 | You in white night- gowns?" |
27908 | You understand?" |
27908 | You wo n''t back out, will you?" |
27908 | You would n''t play tricks with a fellow like that? |
27908 | and if the snow- peaks were out of sight would n''t this be just like a Scottish glen?" |
27908 | and tell you all the movements I can make out? |
27908 | and was old Bracy safe?" |
27908 | are you?" |
27908 | cried Bracy;"the sergeant''s chevrons?" |
27908 | down?" |
27908 | he cried,"what''s come to him?" |
27908 | he cried;"''most done? |
27908 | he cried;"who, in the name of wonder, are you? |
27908 | he muttered;"what do I care about''em now?" |
27908 | if I only had a snug shelter and plenty o''cartridges I think I could stop that little game.--Hurt yer much, sir?" |
27908 | or_ That''s a stinger_!-- was n''t we, Gedge, mate?" |
27908 | people from the station come to meet us?" |
27908 | said Drummond anxiously;"did you?" |
27908 | said the Colonel; and then sharply,"What casualties?" |
27908 | said the Doctor kindly;"try to move?" |
27908 | sir; what game''s this? |
27908 | that flashing in the sunshine?" |
27908 | there is danger?" |
27908 | this is your doctor, is n''t it?" |
27908 | thought Bracy;"or have we been deceived?" |
27908 | thought the young officer; and then,"Shall I get across alive?" |
27908 | to get down below? |
27908 | to keep him up, sir? |
27908 | up on the ramparts?" |
27908 | were you thinking that your master was a bit off his head?" |
27908 | what does that mean?" |
27908 | what is it? |
27908 | what is that, Mr Drummond?" |
27908 | what''s amiss?" |
27908 | what''s that?" |
27908 | what''s the matter?" |
27908 | where are you taking us?" |
27908 | who cares? |
27908 | who''s to know what that means, with his` Yes-- no-- yes-- no''? |
27908 | why ai n''t I got my rifle?" |
27908 | why does it keep dark down there so long when it''s getting quite light up here? |
27908 | would you? |
27908 | yer own arm, sir?'' |
21311 | ''Tisn''t--? |
21311 | About water? |
21311 | About what? |
21311 | Ah, I see,he said,"you are Mr Vincent, I suppose?" |
21311 | Ah, Salaman, is it morning? |
21311 | Ah, Vincent, my lad, feel a bit sore after our gallop? |
21311 | Ah,cried Brace;"you know?" |
21311 | Ah? 21311 All here?" |
21311 | Allowed? 21311 Am I doing right?" |
21311 | And Lieutenant Haynes, the doctor, and Sergeant Craig? |
21311 | And Sergeant Craig? |
21311 | And if they had kept together? |
21311 | And if we refuse to surrender, what then? |
21311 | And some day a general, to command others? |
21311 | And suppose the rajah takes me away? |
21311 | And that I shall be a job for Dr Danby, and you will have to nurse me? |
21311 | And that as an officer and a gentleman I ought to have knocked Barton down? |
21311 | And the rajah? 21311 And the wretches who have done all this?" |
21311 | And their English officers? |
21311 | And then? |
21311 | And this is to be a bit of practice for our men? |
21311 | And what have you learned? |
21311 | And what is that? |
21311 | And what next? |
21311 | And what next? |
21311 | And what then? 21311 And when is he coming again?" |
21311 | And when we are there? |
21311 | And where are you going? |
21311 | And who would fire the train, Haynes? |
21311 | And yet how can I shake hands with you, rajah? |
21311 | And you knew this? |
21311 | And you let them gallop off,cried Brace, angrily,"to alarm their comrades?" |
21311 | And you wo n''t leave me behind, sir, to the crows? |
21311 | And you would be quite an old man before you became a general? |
21311 | And you yourselves? |
21311 | And you? |
21311 | Any luck? |
21311 | Any one seen him? |
21311 | Anybody hurt? |
21311 | Are there sentries in the gardens? |
21311 | Are we going straight? |
21311 | Are you a surgeon? |
21311 | Are you allowed to knock people about like that? |
21311 | Are you going to put any of that smarting stuff on? |
21311 | Are you in much pain? |
21311 | Are you pleased at what I propose? |
21311 | Arm? 21311 Artillery?" |
21311 | Ask a certain beautiful young lady what? |
21311 | Asleep, Vincent? |
21311 | At Delhi? |
21311 | Awake, Gil? |
21311 | Be quiet,he said, grimly; and then--"May I ask, Mr Barton, what this means?" |
21311 | Better, my lad? |
21311 | Better? |
21311 | Better? |
21311 | Brace says you have not been hurt, does he? |
21311 | Brace, do n''t you know me? |
21311 | But are you sure it is the party we are tracking? |
21311 | But both regiments? 21311 But can you, Dost?" |
21311 | But have you nothing more to say? |
21311 | But have you sent messengers? |
21311 | But how are we to get at the horses without being discovered? |
21311 | But if the rajah, with his fugitives, meets the returning force, and they come back and attack us? |
21311 | But is any one coming down? |
21311 | But my boy-- wounded? |
21311 | But ought you not to advance at once, father? |
21311 | But suppose the rajah comes back to- night to try and surprise us? |
21311 | But tell me this,I said eagerly;"where are our people now?" |
21311 | But tell me this-- the fight yesterday? |
21311 | But the jolting and shaking, my man? |
21311 | But the major-- Lieutenant Barton? |
21311 | But the major? 21311 But the rajah?" |
21311 | But the risk? |
21311 | But the sentries? |
21311 | But the wounds-- the clawings? |
21311 | But the young sahib does not want his great rewards? |
21311 | But what are you going to do now? |
21311 | But what can you do? |
21311 | But what can you expect? |
21311 | But what did it mean? |
21311 | But what would the rajah say at your having people so near? |
21311 | But when will you come again? |
21311 | But where is Dr Danby? 21311 But where?" |
21311 | But who-- who did all this? 21311 But why are you like this?" |
21311 | But why have you let the chance go by? |
21311 | But why-- why have the men mutinied? |
21311 | But why? |
21311 | But you are sure they stand fast here for the present? |
21311 | But you could make out his horse? |
21311 | But you will not go on to Arbagh, sahib? |
21311 | But you? |
21311 | But, Lacey, the nursing? |
21311 | But, father,I said excitedly;"you can hold the place now?" |
21311 | But,I said, hesitating, and afraid to hear the news, in case it should be very bad,"mother and sister Grace?" |
21311 | By becoming my greatest officer? |
21311 | Ca n''t I wash first? |
21311 | Ca n''t you see the gent''s a horficer? |
21311 | Ca n''t you take me with you, Dost? |
21311 | Can any one suggest a ruse by which we could capture them? |
21311 | Can it be possible? |
21311 | Can we get across? |
21311 | Can we have failed? |
21311 | Can we trust him? |
21311 | Can you all hear me? |
21311 | Can you not see? 21311 Chupatties? |
21311 | Come on? |
21311 | Could n''t he bear the motion of the elephant? |
21311 | Crushed-- scattered-- where are my friends? |
21311 | Dead? |
21311 | Defeated? |
21311 | Did my lord call? |
21311 | Did n''t you hear him speak? |
21311 | Did that syce, Lieutenant Barton''s man, bring this just now? |
21311 | Did the rajah say when he was coming again? |
21311 | Did you make the end quite fast? |
21311 | Did you see him? |
21311 | Dirty finger? |
21311 | Do I understand you rightly? |
21311 | Do n''t drink, do n''t smoke, and I suppose you ca n''t ride? |
21311 | Do n''t drink-- don''t smoke? 21311 Do n''t object to my having one, do you?" |
21311 | Do n''t often have any one so thin and young as I am to measure for a uniform, do you? |
21311 | Do you hear me, Dost? |
21311 | Do you hear, Haynes? |
21311 | Do you know why the fierce beast did not eat him? |
21311 | Do you mean I am a disgrace to the troop? |
21311 | Do you mean that as an insult, sir? |
21311 | Do you see those two mounted men in white, with lances? |
21311 | Do you see what they mean? |
21311 | Do you surrender? |
21311 | Do you think an English gentleman would make such a false promise, knowing that he could not keep it? |
21311 | Do you think he is treacherous? |
21311 | Do you think the first tiger I see will get into my howdah and maul me? |
21311 | Do you wish him to manage that for you? |
21311 | Do? 21311 Do?" |
21311 | Doctor? |
21311 | Does n''t it make your heart beat to hear the rattle of the wheels and the snorting of the horses? 21311 Does the sahib go to the hunt to- morrow?" |
21311 | Drowned? 21311 Eh, morning?" |
21311 | Eh, where? 21311 Eh? |
21311 | Eh? 21311 Eh? |
21311 | Eh? 21311 Eh? |
21311 | Eh? |
21311 | Enemies? |
21311 | Fear? |
21311 | Fight him? |
21311 | Fight? |
21311 | Fishing, then? |
21311 | Gil!--your mother-- your sister? |
21311 | Glad? |
21311 | Going to charge, are n''t they? |
21311 | Good night,I said, as he walked away;"however can it be a good night for me again?" |
21311 | Hard? 21311 Have I been asleep long?" |
21311 | Have I been asleep? |
21311 | Have I not promised you enough? |
21311 | Have we very far to go? |
21311 | Have you a plan yet? |
21311 | Have you doctored his scratches? |
21311 | Have you found him? |
21311 | Have you given him a bath? |
21311 | Have you? |
21311 | Haynes, can you suggest anything? |
21311 | He is not worse? |
21311 | Head ache? |
21311 | Heard anything? |
21311 | Help us? 21311 Here, what is it?" |
21311 | Holiday, boy? |
21311 | How can I tell, sahib? 21311 How can I?" |
21311 | How could it end? |
21311 | How could you? 21311 How did it come in?" |
21311 | How did you escape? |
21311 | How did you know there was to be a hunt to- morrow? |
21311 | How did you manage to get up? |
21311 | How do you know? |
21311 | How do you know? |
21311 | How far is Nussoor from here? |
21311 | How far is it? |
21311 | How far shall you follow them? |
21311 | How is he? |
21311 | How is the old man? |
21311 | How long do you think it is now since they started? |
21311 | How long have our men been gone? |
21311 | How long have you been back home? |
21311 | How long shall we stay here? |
21311 | How long shall we stay here? |
21311 | How long will the colonel be? |
21311 | How many got back? |
21311 | How many men have you on sentry? |
21311 | How these old impostors of fakirs do deceive the people,I thought, as I glanced at Dost; then aloud--"Well, suppose I were sleeping?" |
21311 | How was it? |
21311 | How''s Brace? |
21311 | How? |
21311 | How? |
21311 | Hurt yourself? |
21311 | Hurt? 21311 Hurt?" |
21311 | Hurt? |
21311 | I am, am I? |
21311 | I hope it will,I said;"but, I say, look here, Salaman, have you washed your hands since you touched him?" |
21311 | I say, you do know some one in the India House, do n''t you? |
21311 | I suppose we can do you no good, Danby? |
21311 | I will hold my tongue directly,I cried;"but tell me this-- were you at the fight?" |
21311 | I will not,he said firmly; and then, to change the subject,"How did you think our horses looked?" |
21311 | I? 21311 I?" |
21311 | I? |
21311 | Into the court? |
21311 | Is Colonel Vincent there? |
21311 | Is Lieutenant Barton in his rooms? |
21311 | Is he safe? |
21311 | Is he worse? |
21311 | Is it a big cut? |
21311 | Is it a sword- cut? |
21311 | Is it all my fault? |
21311 | Is it any or all of these? |
21311 | Is it near morning, Brace? |
21311 | Is it not enough? |
21311 | Is it so trifling a thing, that I should laugh over it? |
21311 | Is it? 21311 Is my lord asleep?" |
21311 | Is that a bullet wound? |
21311 | Is that all, my brave, fire- eating captain? 21311 Is that something moving?" |
21311 | Is the sahib strong enough to climb the rope? |
21311 | Is there a town there? |
21311 | Is there any news of the fight going on? |
21311 | Is there anything wrong? |
21311 | Is there anything you want? 21311 Is there something the matter?" |
21311 | Is this some horrible dream? |
21311 | Is this true? |
21311 | Is this your friendship? |
21311 | Is your sword sharp? |
21311 | It is all over; but have I done my duty like a man? |
21311 | It would be long years before you could command a troop? |
21311 | Killed? |
21311 | Left of them? |
21311 | Let''s get out of here,said my new friend;"but had n''t you better change your clothes?" |
21311 | Let''s see; you came over with Brace, did n''t you? |
21311 | Like this? |
21311 | Look here, sir,said the colonel;"have you ever read the Bible?" |
21311 | Look there,I said, steadying my eyes with my hand;"is n''t that the rajah mounting? |
21311 | Matter? |
21311 | May I speak? |
21311 | Must? |
21311 | My clothes? |
21311 | My horse, my Arab? |
21311 | My lord is glad there is fighting? |
21311 | My own uniform? |
21311 | My wife-- her sister-- two of my little children-- the whole of the English residents, and-- Oh, why do n''t you pursue? 21311 News?" |
21311 | No horses, I suppose? |
21311 | No, I''m not ill."Then why do you look so strange? |
21311 | No, my lord,said Salaman, humbly;"but what can thy servant do?" |
21311 | No? |
21311 | Not coming? |
21311 | Not dead, father? |
21311 | Not from your friend? |
21311 | Not hit? |
21311 | Not tell him you killed the snake? |
21311 | Not tell the rajah about the snakes? |
21311 | Not true? |
21311 | Nothing? |
21311 | Now tell me, what are we going to do? |
21311 | Now, my lads, give way.--I say, how are you? |
21311 | Now, sahib; ready? |
21311 | Now, then, what next? 21311 Now, what is it?" |
21311 | Of course I do,I cried passionately;"why are you so ready to condemn me unheard?" |
21311 | Oh yes; but can you not see that I make you at once a great man? 21311 Oh yes; that''s all right,"I said;"but my arm: shall I ever get the full use of it again?" |
21311 | Oh, Gil, dear brother,she sobbed;"must we all be killed?" |
21311 | Oh, by the way,I said as indifferently as I could,"what about swords?" |
21311 | Oh, why did n''t you rouse me? |
21311 | Oh,shouted another,"how can we hold our hands after this, sir?" |
21311 | On that little elephant coming up the valley; is n''t it one of our men? |
21311 | Please, sir, may n''t we cheer? |
21311 | Pleased? 21311 Put it down?" |
21311 | Rajah? 21311 Ready to start, Dost?" |
21311 | Ready, Gil? |
21311 | Rut? |
21311 | Salaman? |
21311 | Satisfied, sir? |
21311 | Searching the rooms? |
21311 | Shall I bring in some food? |
21311 | Shall I fire? |
21311 | Shall I go, sir? |
21311 | Shall I make them walk? |
21311 | Short, sir? |
21311 | Smartest, sir? |
21311 | So soon, sir? |
21311 | So we have run the rajah to earth, eh? 21311 Some dead animal?" |
21311 | Soon got a job ready for me, then, Brace? |
21311 | Sowars of the native cavalry; and that little half troop behind-- you can tell what they are? |
21311 | Suppose I tell you that you must? |
21311 | Swaddies? |
21311 | Tell me this too; the rajah, will he be here to- day? |
21311 | Tell me,I said quickly;"Captain Brace-- my troop?" |
21311 | That makes your eyes sparkle, sir, does n''t it? |
21311 | That the men of the native regiment meant to mutiny,cried Brace,"and did not warn us?" |
21311 | That will do, wo n''t it? |
21311 | The doctor, then; will he be here? |
21311 | The first, then? |
21311 | The holy man has gone? |
21311 | The lancers-- where are the lancers? |
21311 | The lotus flower? |
21311 | The man who was with you just now? |
21311 | The sahib wants his servant? |
21311 | Then I am a prisoner? |
21311 | Then I shall look out for a charger for you? |
21311 | Then he has escaped? |
21311 | Then he is n''t killed, sir? |
21311 | Then he was not beaten and driven away? |
21311 | Then how did you manage? |
21311 | Then the English are not driven out? |
21311 | Then the Hindoos do n''t like it? |
21311 | Then there are troubles there too? |
21311 | Then there is no one on guard in the day? |
21311 | Then what do you propose doing? |
21311 | Then what place is this? 21311 Then what will you do?" |
21311 | Then what would you propose? |
21311 | Then who did? |
21311 | Then why did you bear it? |
21311 | Then why does n''t he think the rupee is defiled? |
21311 | Then why wish to go? |
21311 | Then you accept? |
21311 | Then you have been out in India before? |
21311 | Then you know nothing of Nussoor? |
21311 | Then you mean that he has gone away on his travels-- pilgrimage, we call it? |
21311 | Then you refuse his highness''s mercy? |
21311 | Then you think I have done very wrong? |
21311 | Then you think it unjust, sir, that one so young as I am should get his commission? |
21311 | Then you think they have stopped there to drill? |
21311 | Then you were kept locked in the barracks? |
21311 | Then you will give me what I ask? |
21311 | Then you will lend us a dhooly for this man, and people to carry him? |
21311 | Then you will put the plan in force? |
21311 | Then you would like me to stop, and not go to the tiger- hunt? |
21311 | Then you would not give them any arms but the cannon? |
21311 | Then your master is going? |
21311 | Then, pray, what''s the matter? |
21311 | Then,I cried, snatching at the chance of escape,"if you knew I should be faithful, why did you propose such a thing?" |
21311 | There, Vincent,said Brace;"what do you say now?" |
21311 | Think so? |
21311 | Think-- think it was that? |
21311 | Those who love you? |
21311 | Thought out anything? |
21311 | Time to get up already? |
21311 | Tired out? |
21311 | Tired, Gil? |
21311 | To be cut down-- slain, after I have taken such pains to save your life? |
21311 | To certain death? |
21311 | To disguise yourself as a fakir? |
21311 | To me? |
21311 | To my place? 21311 To plunder?" |
21311 | To rush on your death? 21311 Too late? |
21311 | Trouble, sahib? 21311 Trust?" |
21311 | Unless help comes.--But you would move out? |
21311 | Very tempting,said my father;"but is all this safe?" |
21311 | Vincent, why do n''t you answer? 21311 Waiting? |
21311 | Was he telling me travellers''tales about the crocodiles-- muggers, as he called them-- and the risk of bathing? |
21311 | Well, Dost, what now? |
21311 | Well, are you in the service, and going out to India? |
21311 | Well, sir,he said shortly,"what is it?" |
21311 | Well, sir,said the colonel,"have you a despatch or message?" |
21311 | Well, what about him, sir? 21311 Well, what did he say?" |
21311 | Well, what do you want? |
21311 | Well, what is it? |
21311 | Well, what then? |
21311 | Well,I said, speaking cheerfully now,"what is your other news?" |
21311 | Well,I said,"do you hear me? |
21311 | Well,cried Brace, after a few explanations,"how is the major? |
21311 | Well,he said gravely,"have you no questions to ask-- about your fellow- countrymen?" |
21311 | Well,he said,"are you counting the tigers?" |
21311 | Well,he said,"are you satisfied?" |
21311 | Well,he said,"have you anything to say?" |
21311 | Well,said Brace,"how are the spirits now?" |
21311 | Well,said Captain Brace one evening, after we had had a run together on the shore,"what do you think of the Cingalese?" |
21311 | Well,said my companion,"what do you think of our brigade?" |
21311 | Well? |
21311 | Well? |
21311 | Well? |
21311 | Well? |
21311 | Well? |
21311 | What about Major Lacey? |
21311 | What about a night attack with lights and plenty of shouting? |
21311 | What about the fighting? 21311 What about?" |
21311 | What are they? |
21311 | What are you doing here? 21311 What are you doing here?" |
21311 | What are you doing? |
21311 | What are you doing? |
21311 | What are you going to do? |
21311 | What are you going to do? |
21311 | What are you laughing at? |
21311 | What are you thinking? |
21311 | What city? |
21311 | What could that poor handful of men do against my thousands? |
21311 | What did it say? |
21311 | What do you make of them, Gil? |
21311 | What do you mean? |
21311 | What do you mean? |
21311 | What do you mean? |
21311 | What do you mean? |
21311 | What do you say, doctor? 21311 What do you say, sir?" |
21311 | What do you say? |
21311 | What do you say? |
21311 | What do you think of it now? |
21311 | What do you want? |
21311 | What does it mean? |
21311 | What does it mean? |
21311 | What does this mean? |
21311 | What for? 21311 What has been the matter, Vincent?" |
21311 | What have you decided? |
21311 | What is a dood? |
21311 | What is it, Denny? 21311 What is it?" |
21311 | What is it? |
21311 | What is it? |
21311 | What is it? |
21311 | What is it? |
21311 | What is it? |
21311 | What is it? |
21311 | What is it? |
21311 | What is it? |
21311 | What is this? 21311 What is this?" |
21311 | What news? |
21311 | What regiment are you in, sir? |
21311 | What shall I do, my lord? |
21311 | What shall I do? |
21311 | What shall we do, then? |
21311 | What shall we do? |
21311 | What was that? |
21311 | What were you doing here? |
21311 | What''s that? |
21311 | What''s that? |
21311 | What''s the matter? 21311 What''s the matter?" |
21311 | What? 21311 What?" |
21311 | What? |
21311 | What? |
21311 | What? |
21311 | What? |
21311 | What? |
21311 | What? |
21311 | What? |
21311 | What? |
21311 | What? |
21311 | What? |
21311 | When-- when did he go? |
21311 | Where are the budmashes gone? |
21311 | Where are the budmashes now? |
21311 | Where are they now? |
21311 | Where are you from? |
21311 | Where did you hear the sounds? |
21311 | Where is he? |
21311 | Where is my servant? |
21311 | Where is the rajah? |
21311 | Where is the village? |
21311 | Where is their regular officer, then? |
21311 | Where shall we make for, Dost? |
21311 | Where will the master be when I want to follow him? |
21311 | Where would you have gone to- night,he said,"supposing that you had not fallen and killed yourself, or been cut down by my guards?" |
21311 | Where''s Dost-- staying with the major? |
21311 | Where''s your officer? |
21311 | Where? |
21311 | Where? |
21311 | Which are Lieutenant Barton''s quarters? |
21311 | Which was he doing? |
21311 | Which will you do, Gil? |
21311 | Who can eat at a time like this? |
21311 | Who can ever trust a Hindu again? |
21311 | Who can say, my lord? 21311 Who can tell? |
21311 | Who is Dost? |
21311 | Who is that? 21311 Who knows, my lord? |
21311 | Who knows, my lord? 21311 Who told you that?" |
21311 | Who was it rode me down? 21311 Who were on duty?" |
21311 | Whom shall you send? |
21311 | Why are you like this? |
21311 | Why are you not asleep? |
21311 | Why are you not gone, sir? |
21311 | Why do n''t the lancers charge again? |
21311 | Why do n''t they throw her a life- buoy? |
21311 | Why do n''t you? |
21311 | Why do you laugh? |
21311 | Why do you say that? |
21311 | Why do you wish to have these troops? |
21311 | Why does he not act? |
21311 | Why not come? |
21311 | Why not have sent a messenger? |
21311 | Why not yet? |
21311 | Why not? |
21311 | Why should I go? |
21311 | Why should thy servant try to escape? |
21311 | Why wait for the darkness, and the confusion it will cause? |
21311 | Why were you hiding there? |
21311 | Why wish to go? |
21311 | Why, Craig, man,I said,"what is it?" |
21311 | Why, Gil, lad,he said sharply,"what is it? |
21311 | Why, hallo, Dost,I said, as I saw that the man was trembling,"what''s the matter? |
21311 | Why, what is the matter? |
21311 | Why, you did not want them to fight, did you? |
21311 | Why, you do n''t mean to say that he loves our Grace? |
21311 | Why? 21311 Why?" |
21311 | Why? |
21311 | Why? |
21311 | Why? |
21311 | Why? |
21311 | Why? |
21311 | Why? |
21311 | Why? |
21311 | Why? |
21311 | Will he be safe? |
21311 | Will he come to- day? |
21311 | Will he go on to- day? |
21311 | Will it kill him? |
21311 | Will my lord have food? |
21311 | Will my lord return to the tent? |
21311 | Will you come at once? |
21311 | Will you drink, sir? |
21311 | Will you help me-- will you take charge of the guns at once? |
21311 | Worse? 21311 Would it have bitten and poisoned me?" |
21311 | Would it take very long? |
21311 | Would my lord like a cool drink? |
21311 | Would n''t it be better to stop till later? 21311 Yes, and is n''t it wonderful that so few Englishmen should keep so many millions of the natives in subjection?" |
21311 | Yes, it is; you can tell me this-- what is your name? |
21311 | Yes,I said dreamily; and then as I realised what had passed--"Did I faint?" |
21311 | Yes,I said; but hesitated to make the request that rose to my lips, and deferred it for the moment;"where have you been?" |
21311 | Yes,said Brace;"and how are you going to feed the poor beasts when you have them in the compound? |
21311 | Yes; and what did he say? |
21311 | Yes; and what then? |
21311 | Yes; but tell me-- Captain Brace? |
21311 | Yes; did you not know? |
21311 | Yes; what do you want? |
21311 | Yes; what is it? |
21311 | Yes; what is it? |
21311 | Yes; who are they? |
21311 | Yes? 21311 Yes? |
21311 | You are not upset, then, by your night''s experience? 21311 You are thinking as I have been for the last quarter of an hour, are you not? |
21311 | You ask me that? |
21311 | You believe that, Dost? |
21311 | You can see them plainly now? |
21311 | You did this, Dost? |
21311 | You do n''t despair of overtaking them? |
21311 | You do n''t think there is going to be war, do you? |
21311 | You do not agree with me, of course? |
21311 | You do not trust him? |
21311 | You have killed him? |
21311 | You have never seen one, I suppose? |
21311 | You have put it in the sun? |
21311 | You haven''t--? 21311 You heard?" |
21311 | You know what I want, I suppose? |
21311 | You mean to keep to that mad idea of yours, then, about recapturing the guns? |
21311 | You promise this? |
21311 | You refuse it? |
21311 | You refuse, then? |
21311 | You sail in three weeks, long before your father could get your letter, eh? |
21311 | You see those, Haynes? |
21311 | You think I need not mind sleeping? |
21311 | You think so-- that the mutiny is widespread? |
21311 | You think you could sit up now? |
21311 | You think, then, that there is a wider trouble than that at the station? |
21311 | You want to take me with you? |
21311 | You wish it? |
21311 | You wish to speak to me, sir? |
21311 | You''ve heard, then, sir? |
21311 | Your liberty? |
21311 | A prisoner?" |
21311 | About the country? |
21311 | Acting on the impulse of the moment, I said aloud,"What''s that? |
21311 | Ah, my dear fellow, what news?" |
21311 | Am I not your surgeon?" |
21311 | Anything wrong?" |
21311 | Are you strong enough to walk or run with me many days?" |
21311 | As I arrived at this pitch, I felt uncomfortable, for something within me seemed to ask the question--"Would n''t you?" |
21311 | As we paused before one of these, I whispered--"Suppose we come upon them suddenly?" |
21311 | At last, though, after lying quite still, holding my faithful follower''s hand, I whispered--"How did you get here?" |
21311 | Back in his place by the great tree, or a captive taken away and condemned at once as a spy? |
21311 | Brace was silent for a few minutes, and then he said sharply--"Look here, old man, you can walk?" |
21311 | But about rations; how long can we hold out?" |
21311 | But about you and the major?" |
21311 | But had it been a success? |
21311 | But have you no other clothes?" |
21311 | But how?" |
21311 | But suppose the wrong man received the blow? |
21311 | But was it a note? |
21311 | But what are you going to do?" |
21311 | But what to do? |
21311 | But will he not eat?" |
21311 | But you must keep a strict watch over that temper of yours, eh?" |
21311 | By the way, you know Captain Brace?" |
21311 | Ca n''t you see what I want?" |
21311 | Ca n''t you see what''s going on?" |
21311 | Call? |
21311 | Can I come with you as a sort of aide- de- camp?" |
21311 | Can I get anything for my lord?" |
21311 | Can I have a horse?" |
21311 | Can you hear the horses?" |
21311 | Can you?" |
21311 | Colonel Vincent, do n''t you know me?" |
21311 | Come, I ca n''t afford to have you ill.""Ill?" |
21311 | Come, you are-- aren''t you?" |
21311 | Could it be a body of sowars? |
21311 | Did I go off in a faint?" |
21311 | Did I not see you carry them off after I had captured them, and was training my men? |
21311 | Did I pitch on to my helmet, then?" |
21311 | Did he come, or was it a dream?" |
21311 | Did n''t he say he was smoking?" |
21311 | Did the men see me come in?" |
21311 | Do n''t you see that it will require strength and dash?" |
21311 | Do n''t you want to tog out?" |
21311 | Do you feel-- well, to be plain-- frightened?" |
21311 | Do you hear?" |
21311 | Do you see? |
21311 | Do you see?" |
21311 | Do you tell me that you could not drill and teach my soldiers?" |
21311 | Do you think I am a child because I have been forbearing? |
21311 | Do you think we could safely take him on the ammunition- waggon?" |
21311 | Do you understand?" |
21311 | Dock water?" |
21311 | Doctor, you will ride with him?" |
21311 | Dost, tell me; the major-- where is he?" |
21311 | Feel the sun too much? |
21311 | Fond of shooting?" |
21311 | Get back it''s use? |
21311 | Going, Brace?" |
21311 | Got your servants yet?" |
21311 | Had n''t you better put me out of my misery at once?" |
21311 | Had they failed to batter down the gate? |
21311 | Had we not better go back and make a fresh start?" |
21311 | Has he given you yours?" |
21311 | Has n''t another quarter of an hour gone yet?" |
21311 | Have I been ill?" |
21311 | Have I been ill?" |
21311 | Have I not seen you often? |
21311 | Have you got it?" |
21311 | Have you thought what it means?" |
21311 | Haynes, will you follow me?" |
21311 | He clapped his hands, and a grave- looking native in white entered, salaamed, and said softly--"Sahib?" |
21311 | He has not been alarmed? |
21311 | Hear him? |
21311 | Here, who was your surgeon?" |
21311 | His head?" |
21311 | How are the sahibs to know where to get food or shelter, or to get news without me? |
21311 | How are you? |
21311 | How are you?" |
21311 | How can I break my oath? |
21311 | How can I call you less than` my lord''?" |
21311 | How could I hold back? |
21311 | How did he get hurt?" |
21311 | How did it all happen? |
21311 | How is he?" |
21311 | How is poor Captain Brace?" |
21311 | How to manage it? |
21311 | How would it be to--""Eh? |
21311 | How? |
21311 | However did you learn to ride like that?" |
21311 | Hurt?" |
21311 | I asked; then, in a startled way,"He is not killed?" |
21311 | I felt afraid that I was going to dislike him as one unworthy to be known, as I cried angrily,"But what can you do?" |
21311 | I felt better at this, but I was damped down directly, for my man I had spoken to growled out--"Horficer? |
21311 | I have not exaggerated, have I?" |
21311 | I replied in a curiously faint voice--"better? |
21311 | I said coolly;"what do you mean?" |
21311 | I said excitedly,"is he wounded?" |
21311 | I said, or does it mean anything? |
21311 | I said;"that you wish me to be your chief artillery officer?" |
21311 | I should have liked to ask,"What are you going to do?" |
21311 | I turned away in misery, for, with the place so firmly watched, how were my friends to reach me? |
21311 | I was making every effort possible, as soon as I heard through spies that you were alive, to rescue you; but when--""Well, when what?" |
21311 | I whispered,"and will bring back others?" |
21311 | If I was made a prisoner, had the guns been taken? |
21311 | If aught befel my lord from the holy man''s curses, what should I do?" |
21311 | If he does, shall I have strength enough to hold out, and refuse to promise; or shall I, at last, quite in despair, give way and act as he wishes?" |
21311 | If the English were driven out of India, who would know or care anything about me? |
21311 | If the horse comes to- morrow, shall we try and escape at night?" |
21311 | If they saw my lord''s white face, they would fall upon him, and then when his highness came and said,` Where is my lord?'' |
21311 | Is it utterly impossible for you to live in unity with your fellow- students?" |
21311 | Is my horse hurt?" |
21311 | Is my rifle ready?" |
21311 | Is the commission for the Horse Artillery?" |
21311 | Is your pistol charged?" |
21311 | Just then there was the clattering of hoofs, and an officer galloped up,"Where''s Colonel Vincent?" |
21311 | Let''s see, what was your uncle?" |
21311 | Like an escort to meet you?" |
21311 | Look here, my friend; why do you want to get back? |
21311 | No fear of their getting out?" |
21311 | Not ill?" |
21311 | Now am I right, lad? |
21311 | Now do you ask me what I mean?" |
21311 | Now, Dost-- ready?" |
21311 | Now, gentlemen, are you with me? |
21311 | Oh, why was I not there?" |
21311 | Ought to be in your favour, eh? |
21311 | Our people were not beaten?" |
21311 | Prick him with the point of my sword?" |
21311 | Rajah, you will let the hathees bear us back?" |
21311 | Retreat and leave these scoundrels in possession?" |
21311 | Sergeant Craig?" |
21311 | Shall I describe it? |
21311 | Shall I make him do it?" |
21311 | Shall we try and escape to- morrow night?" |
21311 | Shall we try to the right or the left?" |
21311 | So you shall have a change.--Well?" |
21311 | So you would be Ny Deen''s artillery general, eh?" |
21311 | Stop; what are you going to do?" |
21311 | Suppose there had been such a sudden rising at Nussoor, where my father''s regiment was stationed, what of my mother and my sister Grace? |
21311 | Tell me,"I cried excitedly,"how did the fight end?" |
21311 | Tell me,"he said gently,"do your servants attend you well?" |
21311 | That door where the syces are with the horses?" |
21311 | That man came and tempted you to go?" |
21311 | That we are too late?" |
21311 | That woman-- was she saved?" |
21311 | The captain is following the enemy up to get back the guns and horses, of course?" |
21311 | The doctor''s? |
21311 | The little cakes?" |
21311 | The question was, how could it be done? |
21311 | The rebellion is widespread; but what of that? |
21311 | The sepoys of the native regiment?" |
21311 | The sun? |
21311 | Then I''ll tell my servant to see that a bath is prepared; and, by the way, you have no servant yet, I suppose?" |
21311 | Then aloud, with importance--"Is it shady where you have placed it?" |
21311 | Then approaching me, he said humbly, and with a low reverence--"Will my lord grant his servant''s prayer?" |
21311 | Then look here, Solomon, did you bury that great snake?" |
21311 | Then the next best thing is to keep our men out of sight, Gil, eh?" |
21311 | Then the troop; where was the troop? |
21311 | Then to me:"Did you understand what he said?" |
21311 | Then we move east at once?" |
21311 | Then, as I lay there, confused and troubled, a fresh thought struck me-- the firing? |
21311 | Then, as if remembering the great aim he had in view--"Did the scoundrels go up the valley toward the rajah''s?" |
21311 | Then, turning to the old Hindu--"Is there no one left in the village?" |
21311 | Then, turning to the rajah,"You will give us safe conduct down to your place?" |
21311 | Then, turning to the sergeant--"You feel sure that the officers''horses are not gone?" |
21311 | There are plenty of tigers, I suppose?" |
21311 | To be killed by a snake?" |
21311 | To take up your old position as a junior officer?" |
21311 | Vanity? |
21311 | Was he fighting?" |
21311 | Was it likely, sir, that they''d think them enemies?" |
21311 | Was that I? |
21311 | We rose and followed him, the doctor whispering sharply,"Am I a non- combatant, Brace? |
21311 | We''ve got to keep our fighting for the Queen''s enemies, eh?" |
21311 | Well, how do you like Brace?" |
21311 | Well, how do you like Rambagh?" |
21311 | Well, perhaps so; but what lad of my years would not have done the same? |
21311 | Well, what is it?" |
21311 | Well?" |
21311 | What about Sergeant Craig?" |
21311 | What about him?" |
21311 | What about riding?" |
21311 | What about you? |
21311 | What about your clothes?" |
21311 | What are you among so many? |
21311 | What are you doing?" |
21311 | What are you looking at?" |
21311 | What can I get you? |
21311 | What did you do?" |
21311 | What did you say?" |
21311 | What do you mean-- the wounded?" |
21311 | What do you say, Brooke?" |
21311 | What do you say?" |
21311 | What do you think of a little steel cap, something like mine, with a white puggaree round it, and a little plume in front?" |
21311 | What does it all mean?" |
21311 | What for? |
21311 | What for?" |
21311 | What for?" |
21311 | What is going on now? |
21311 | What is he about?" |
21311 | What is it?" |
21311 | What is it?" |
21311 | What is it?" |
21311 | What is the matter?" |
21311 | What is their trouble, then?" |
21311 | What rajah?" |
21311 | What shall I do to wake him? |
21311 | What shall I do? |
21311 | What then?" |
21311 | What was to be done? |
21311 | What''s that?" |
21311 | What''s the matter? |
21311 | What''s wrong?" |
21311 | What, then-- pistol?" |
21311 | What, you in trouble again, Ny Deen?" |
21311 | What?" |
21311 | When am I to attack?" |
21311 | When they did, I could only whisper huskily--"May I go to my guns?" |
21311 | When would you like your horse?" |
21311 | Where are they?" |
21311 | Where can you flee better?" |
21311 | Where is Captain Brace?" |
21311 | Where was he? |
21311 | Where would you make for? |
21311 | Where''s Barton?" |
21311 | Who could call him sahib when he is like that?" |
21311 | Who else would think it was a secret sign?" |
21311 | Who has been talking to you about Russia? |
21311 | Who is in command here?" |
21311 | Who is in the barracks now?" |
21311 | Who is it?" |
21311 | Who was that?" |
21311 | Who''s there?" |
21311 | Who''s to prevent it?" |
21311 | Whom have you got there-- the rajah''s son?" |
21311 | Why do n''t I act like a real` my lord,''and order these people about more?" |
21311 | Why do n''t they get shot?" |
21311 | Why do n''t you ride?" |
21311 | Why does he not come?" |
21311 | Why is this door fastened?" |
21311 | Why, were you not occupying rooms in the rajah''s palace?" |
21311 | Why, what do you mean?" |
21311 | Will he come and see?" |
21311 | Will my lord come to his tent?" |
21311 | Will the colonel see them? |
21311 | With that plan of yours for getting the guns and horses back?" |
21311 | You accept?" |
21311 | You agree with me?" |
21311 | You are better?" |
21311 | You are my officer, and--""You will have me killed?" |
21311 | You do not wish for my guest to look-- there as you do now?" |
21311 | You feel much stronger?" |
21311 | You find that you are steadily growing strong up here?" |
21311 | You have friends at home in England?" |
21311 | You hear?" |
21311 | You heard the firing?" |
21311 | You heard?" |
21311 | You know me?" |
21311 | You like it?" |
21311 | You mean to go on?" |
21311 | You will accept?" |
21311 | You will be brave, and bear what I do without being faint? |
21311 | You will let me go?" |
21311 | You will let us have these two elephants as far as Rajgunge?" |
21311 | You wish to rise and become the chief of a troop of artillery?" |
21311 | You would not wish to see me degrade myself?" |
21311 | You, Vincent, can you propose anything?" |
21311 | ` An''what''s a moskayto?'' |
21311 | ` Oh,''she said, in a hoarse whisper,` is thim moskaytoes?''" |
21311 | a hospital?" |
21311 | and had they limbered up and retired? |
21311 | as a British officer in the service of a rajah?" |
21311 | cried Brace, excitedly;"what is it? |
21311 | cried the officer; and then, in a choking voice,"Why, Gil, my boy, is this you?" |
21311 | do you think I keep you to do nothing but sleep? |
21311 | for that?" |
21311 | he cried;"not so well?" |
21311 | he said sharply;"where?" |
21311 | he said;"an accident?" |
21311 | he said;"that lady? |
21311 | how could I face his fierce wrath?" |
21311 | how did you get on?" |
21311 | how often am I to tell you to go to the visitors first?" |
21311 | off already?" |
21311 | one whom I trust in everything, and who will be next in my country to myself? |
21311 | promoted?" |
21311 | said my father;"come with me, or stay with the major who is in command here?" |
21311 | said one of the gentlemen, smiling; but I was looking at the other, who was Captain Brace, as I said in a puzzled way--"Better? |
21311 | so you want to get on active service again, eh?" |
21311 | some fresh outrage?" |
21311 | tell me,"cried Brace, as we pressed up to the men--"is it all true?" |
21311 | the rajah?" |
21311 | were the niggers mutinied too?" |
21311 | what was that?" |
21311 | what would my poor ould mother say, if she saw what I''ve done?" |
21311 | what''s that?" |
21311 | what''s this?" |
21311 | what''s this?" |
21311 | what''s up?" |
21311 | where your father''s regiment is stationed?" |
21311 | who are you?" |
21311 | who was that?" |
21311 | why could n''t they call you Solomon? |
21311 | wounded?" |
21311 | you ran that risk on purpose?" |
