34369 | But what else is there to be afraid of? |
34369 | But what purpose can he have in playing such pranks? |
34369 | But where can it be hidden? |
34369 | But who could be so mean, Dad? 34369 But who do you suppose conceived such a plan?" |
34369 | But wo n''t that inconvenience both of you? |
34369 | By the way, do you know where I could get a picture of Jacob Winters? |
34369 | By the way, how do you explain the will made out in your favor? |
34369 | By the way, what became of the newspaper today? 34369 Can I reach Brookport by train or bus?" |
34369 | Come back and see us often, wo n''t you? |
34369 | Could n''t we go to a hotel and come back in the morning? 34369 Dad, how did you get here?" |
34369 | Did it strike you as queer the way Mrs. Leeds acted when I mentioned we were going to Raven Ridge tomorrow? |
34369 | Did you have any luck today? |
34369 | Did you know Jacob Winters well? |
34369 | Did you leave milk at our doorstep this morning? |
34369 | Did you never see him? |
34369 | Did you notice his appearance? |
34369 | Did you really think the will was genuine, Penny? |
34369 | Did you say Raven Ridge? |
34369 | Did you say you were going to Raven Ridge? |
34369 | Did you think it was the will? |
34369 | Do n''t you think it might advertise that we''ve discovered this tunnel? 34369 Do n''t you want to go?" |
34369 | Do you hear the same thing I do? |
34369 | Do you live near here? |
34369 | Do you mean to suggest that Alicia and I are not related to Jacob Winters? |
34369 | Do you still want to go through with the plan? |
34369 | Do you think Mrs. Leeds could have picked it up? |
34369 | Do you think he''ll ever produce the photo? |
34369 | Do you think she would resort to such a trick? |
34369 | Do you think they''ll look all right with my red party frock? |
34369 | Do you think we could be in an abandoned ore mine? |
34369 | Has that car of yours broken down again? |
34369 | Have n''t you anything better than this? |
34369 | Hello, what''s the big hurry? |
34369 | Honestly? |
34369 | How did the organist reach the third floor if he did n''t pass through this door? |
34369 | How did you get wind that Mr. Winters''ivories were kept in the house? |
34369 | How did you happen to construct it? |
34369 | How do you suppose it came to be there? |
34369 | How should I know? |
34369 | How would you like to take a little trip? |
34369 | How? |
34369 | I came to find out what you mean by entering Mr. Winters''house when he''s away? |
34369 | I did n''t say so, did I? 34369 I mean, what are you doing in this house?" |
34369 | I suppose it is nothing but a joke,Rosanna acknowledged,"and yet why should a key be enclosed in the letter?" |
34369 | I suppose you thought it was n''t robbery when you decided to cheat Rosanna Winters out of her inheritance? |
34369 | I suppose you were the ghost, Max? |
34369 | I think it would be nice, do n''t you? |
34369 | I wonder how old the girl is? 34369 I wonder if Raven Ridge will be as pretty as this?" |
34369 | I wonder if by any chance she could have picked up your letter and key? |
34369 | I wonder if it could have been that man who passed us on the road? |
34369 | I wonder what Mrs. Leeds and Laponi were up to? |
34369 | I wonder what evidence she referred to? |
34369 | I wonder what got into him all at once? |
34369 | I wonder why Caleb and Max Laponi were going at each other in such dreadful fashion? |
34369 | If Mr. Eckert ca n''t tell us what became of my uncle, who could? |
34369 | If you ca n''t produce the letter or the key, what proof have you that you actually are Jacob Winters''niece? |
34369 | If you did n''t have a key how did you get into the house? |
34369 | Including me? |
34369 | Is Dad home yet? |
34369 | Is he a known criminal? |
34369 | It isn''t-- you do n''t think the house is haunted? |
34369 | Ivories? |
34369 | Jacob Winters is dead is n''t he? 34369 Just what is it that you want me to do?" |
34369 | Just what is your proposition? |
34369 | Locked? |
34369 | May I ask where you found it? |
34369 | May I see the letter which you say you received? |
34369 | Miss Winters, may I speak with you a moment? |
34369 | Mr. Laponi, has this girl lost her senses? |
34369 | Must we stay here tonight? |
34369 | Names? |
34369 | No? |
34369 | Now what shall we do? |
34369 | Now what? |
34369 | Oh, so you read about it? |
34369 | Out early this morning, are n''t you? |
34369 | Penny, what do you intend to do with that weapon? |
34369 | Penny, where did you get that thing? |
34369 | Placed there deliberately, you think? |
34369 | Pray what do you find that is so humorous? |
34369 | Queer noises? |
34369 | See anything? |
34369 | See anything? |
34369 | Shall I call Mrs. Leeds and Alicia? |
34369 | Shall we go on to Andover or stop at the Winters''house? |
34369 | Should n''t we turn back? |
34369 | Sleep well? |
34369 | Sleep well? |
34369 | So you have n''t got it? |
34369 | So you noticed it too? |
34369 | So you''re old Jacob Winters''niece? |
34369 | Tell me, did you ever hear of a lawyer by the name of Elfhedge with an office at Brookport? |
34369 | Tell me, is n''t there a pipe organ on the third floor of Mr. Winters''house? |
34369 | Tell me, is that where old Winters hid his ivory collection? |
34369 | Tell me, why did you write the letters? |
34369 | The mysterious ghost? |
34369 | The will? |
34369 | The will? |
34369 | Then why do you go up there again? |
34369 | Then why were you upstairs at this time of night? 34369 Then you believe he is the one who has been frightening the household by playing on the pipe organ?" |
34369 | Then you did get my wire? |
34369 | Then you have n''t a key? |
34369 | Then you heard it too? |
34369 | They''re three dollars, are n''t they? |
34369 | To see if your name was mentioned? |
34369 | To watch for the ghost? |
34369 | Trying to steal the Winters''booty, were you? |
34369 | Visitors? |
34369 | Want to come along? |
34369 | Was he driving a gray coupà ©? |
34369 | Well, what do you think of it? |
34369 | Well, what is it you want to know this time? |
34369 | Well, what is it you want to know? |
34369 | Well, what''s wrong with the idea? |
34369 | Well, why do n''t you look at it then? |
34369 | What are you doing here, may I ask? |
34369 | What are you doing in my house? |
34369 | What are you going to do? |
34369 | What became of that man who knocked me down? |
34369 | What became of the collection? |
34369 | What can I do? 34369 What did he collect?" |
34369 | What did he look like? |
34369 | What did you mean by asking about a paper she had burned? |
34369 | What do you mean? |
34369 | What do you want of a picture? |
34369 | What do you want? |
34369 | What else can we do? |
34369 | What frightened you so? |
34369 | What ghost? |
34369 | What if something should happen? |
34369 | What if we should run into that dreadful man-- the organist? |
34369 | What is going on here? |
34369 | What is it? |
34369 | What is it? |

34369 | What is the meaning of this outrage? |
34369 | What is the meaning of this? |
34369 | What is? |
34369 | What makes you think that? 34369 What makes you think that?" |
34369 | What of the document I found in the drawer of the desk? |
34369 | What other room can you give us then? |
34369 | What place are you looking for? |
34369 | What right have you to say what is to be done here? 34369 What shall we do?" |
34369 | What sort of information? |
34369 | What things? |
34369 | What time is it? |
34369 | What was that you said? |
34369 | What were you saying? |
34369 | What''s that? |
34369 | What''s this? |
34369 | What? |

34369 | When do we start? |
34369 | When will you send the wire? |
34369 | Where are we to sleep? |
34369 | Where are you going? |
34369 | Where are you? |
34369 | Where do you suppose he went? |
34369 | Where do you suppose we''re going anyway? |
34369 | Where will we go? |
34369 | Where? |
34369 | Who can it be? |
34369 | Why did n''t you call in the police? |
34369 | Why did n''t you send him away at once? |
34369 | Why did you do that? |
34369 | Why did you lock us out? |
34369 | Why does n''t it open? |
34369 | Why not leave this place today? |
34369 | Why not visit this lawyer and have a talk with him? 34369 Why not?" |
34369 | Why should I have a key? |
34369 | Why should n''t I be? |
34369 | Why should that bother him? |
34369 | Why, Mr. Eckert, does n''t this call for some explanation? |
34369 | Will it do us any good to remain? |
34369 | Will the car fare be very much do you think? |
34369 | With you? |
34369 | You are a stranger in Belton City? |
34369 | You are certain it was sent? |
34369 | You are my uncle, are n''t you, Mr. Eckert? 34369 You counted a lot on the inheritance, did n''t you?" |
34369 | You have n''t heard Mrs. Leeds or that Laponi fellow say anything about leaving have you? |
34369 | You mean the imprint on the dusty surface of the organ bench? |
34369 | You mean to say you did n''t hear the music? |
34369 | You mean-- indefinitely? |
34369 | You really do n''t mind? |
34369 | You suspect that because you found the revolver in his room? |
34369 | You''re his niece, are n''t you? |
34369 | You''re not aiming to leave today? |
34369 | After all, my uncle never saw me so why should he have left me any of his money? |
34369 | Are you hurt?" |
34369 | Are you the caretaker?" |
34369 | Ashland is n''t very far from Snow Mountain, is it?" |
34369 | But if he did n''t recognize us, why did he slow down and then speed up?" |
34369 | But what can be the purpose behind it all?" |
34369 | But what can we do about it?" |
34369 | But what of it may I ask?" |
34369 | By the way what''s in the box?" |
34369 | By the way, did n''t the old man have a valuable collection of ivories?" |
34369 | Could she have been mistaken in believing him to be the thief who had stolen the diamond ring? |
34369 | Did n''t Mr. Laponi have proof of it?" |
34369 | Did n''t you, Alicia, my dear?" |
34369 | Did you ever hear of Raven Ridge?" |
34369 | Had Mr. Winters written Rosanna''s name? |
34369 | Have you had supper?" |
34369 | I wonder if Mr. Winters did leave his ivory collection in the safe?" |
34369 | If Mr. Winters''collection of ivory is still in the house, do n''t you think it should be removed to a safer place?" |
34369 | Is n''t it exciting? |
34369 | It is your decision to have no share in the spoils?" |
34369 | Leeds?" |
34369 | Leeds?" |
34369 | Leeds?" |
34369 | May I examine the will?" |
34369 | Penny smiled broadly as she inquired:"Did n''t you enter into an agreement with Mrs. Leeds to defraud Rosanna?" |
34369 | She asked carelessly:"I do n''t suppose your wire has anything to do with Jacob Winters or the estate?" |
34369 | She directed her gaze upon Max Laponi as she questioned:"How did you learn that Mr. Winters kept the ivory collection in this house?" |
34369 | This is n''t another of your jokes?" |
34369 | Was the ring a valuable one?" |
34369 | What if it too were locked? |
34369 | What was he like?" |
34369 | What would the night bring forth? |
34369 | When did you send the wire?" |
34369 | Who tore it out of the album?" |
34369 | Why are you so interested in it?" |
34369 | Why does n''t he play as he''s always done before?" |
34369 | Why should Mr. Winters tell me where he kept his valuables? |
34369 | Winters?" |
34369 | Would he look out? |
34369 | Would they be seen? |
34369 | Yet who had played the joke upon Rosanna and for what purpose? |
34369 | You did n''t see anyone as you came up the stairs to find me?" |
34369 | You do n''t really mind?" |
34369 | You have n''t a car of your own or one you could borrow?" |
34369 | You remember the letter do n''t you, Penny?" |
34369 | You surely do n''t intend to go away from here while she and her daughter are camped in the house?" |
34369 | You told Mrs. Leeds----""Well, you''re not Mrs. Leeds, are you?" |
34369 | You''ll not be afraid to go with me, will you?" |
46375 | ''Sweet''? |
46375 | ''Terribly thrilled'', are you? 46375 After what?" |
46375 | And may we have Nell and Chick over to- morrow night, Cousin Di? |
46375 | Any snakes? |
46375 | Are n''t they? 46375 Are you afraid?" |
46375 | Are you easily scared? |
46375 | Are you rooming in the old part, then? 46375 Are you trying to burn up the house with a candle?" |
46375 | But can we get out? |
46375 | But did you look in Jan''s den? |
46375 | But how did he get out? 46375 But what else does the ghost do, and who is the ghost anyway?" |
46375 | Could Paulina have locked it by mistake? |
46375 | Did I? 46375 Did the boys tell you to ask Nell and me if the ghost walked last night?" |
46375 | Did you ever see my mother? |
46375 | Did you find the ghost''s costume there? |
46375 | Did you know my mother? |
46375 | Did you know that you are going to have supper with us at home to- night, after our picnic dinner in the hills? |
46375 | Did you see the light in the wall, Paulina, that night? |
46375 | Did you sleep well in your new quarters? |
46375 | Do you keep some things up here, too? 46375 Do you mind?" |
46375 | Do you suppose that Jan ever found this? |
46375 | Do you suppose that the boys could fool us in some way? |
46375 | Do you think so? 46375 Do you think that a person would have to know you a long while first? |
46375 | Do you think that my mother could possibly be alive somewhere? |
46375 | Get ready to ride, wo n''t you? 46375 Get your box?" |
46375 | Girls,said Paulina,"did you hear it?" |
46375 | Has Ah got cake foh suppuh? 46375 Has Paulina keys?" |
46375 | Has the''old Dutch house''stood since''way back in''Knickerbocker''times? |
46375 | Have n''t you had any_ breakfast_? 46375 Have you seen yours, yet, Jannet?" |
46375 | Honest, Paulina? |
46375 | Honestly, Jan, did you ever hear or see anything strange? |
46375 | How do you do, Uncle Pieter? |
46375 | How long is it since my uncle''s second wife went away? |
46375 | How old are you, Jannet? |
46375 | How''s the bum back, Uncle Andy? |
46375 | I did it once in a while, half for fun, too, to scare Hepsy and Paulina, but you never heard any of it, so why would your wife want me to do it? 46375 I know how you must feel,--sort of dazed, are n''t you?" |
46375 | I still do n''t believe in''fortunes,''and neither do you, Mister Jan, but it is funny how they hit it sometimes, is n''t it? |
46375 | I want to take something to your aunt, Lina, and to Miss Hilliard, and do you think it would be very piggy just to have this by ourselves? 46375 Is Chick a ventriloquist?" |
46375 | Is it so that you have a workshop and everything, back where I room? |
46375 | Is n''t a soul that I can see, Jannet,she said,"What has become of the ghost?" |
46375 | Is n''t that strange? 46375 Is that so? |
46375 | Is this''Who''s Who,''my daughter? |
46375 | It ca n''t be true, can it? 46375 It''s a real''haunted house,''then?" |
46375 | Jannet Eldon, huh? 46375 May I come in, Paulina?" |
46375 | Nobody_ could_ have made them up and put them there, could they? |
46375 | Now, who can Diana Holt be? |
46375 | Oh, you know, Miss Hilliard, do n''t you, how I have been so glad for you and Miss Marcy and all my friends? |
46375 | Oh,_ are_ you, Uncle Pieter? 46375 Really? |
46375 | Say, Jannet,soberly said Jan,"may I be your second husband?" |
46375 | See this little worn place, with the wood that gives a little? 46375 She helps clean Jan''s den sometimes, does n''t she?" |
46375 | That other room just like this,--are you afraid to go in there? |
46375 | The whole of it? |
46375 | The women now use cigarettes, do n''t they? |
46375 | Uncle Pieter, do you care if I go around the old house and find out all about it? 46375 Very wise remark, Nell; but do n''t you want to find out about it?" |
46375 | Was the bed kept made up, that you knew you would find something? |
46375 | Was there a light in the wall, too? 46375 Well, do n''t you think it possible, Uncle Pieter, that there is a secret passageway of some sort?" |
46375 | Well,said Jannet, as they entered the room again,"shall we wake up Paulina and get things stirred up? |
46375 | Were n''t the girls lovely, Miss Hilliard? |
46375 | Were they playing tricks on you and Nell? |
46375 | What are you doing, Jannet? |
46375 | What are you, most noble ancestress? |
46375 | What did Paulina mean,''over her head''? |
46375 | What did mother tell you, Paulina? |
46375 | What do you mean, child? |
46375 | What does it mean? |
46375 | What ghost would carefully take a blue comforter through walls and finally deposit it neatly, well folded, in the closet where it belongs? |
46375 | What is Chick''s right name? |
46375 | What is the matter with P''lina? |
46375 | What room has been made ready for her, Diana? |
46375 | What''s all this? |
46375 | What''s on the other side of the chimney? |
46375 | What''s that? |
46375 | What''s the matter, Jannet? |
46375 | What''s the matter, Miss Jannet? |
46375 | What? |
46375 | When did you first see Janet? |
46375 | Where are the Van Meters buried? |
46375 | Where have you been? |
46375 | Where''ve you been all this time Miss Jannet? |
46375 | Who can tell what the future will bring my girls? |
46375 | Who is John, Cousin Diana? |
46375 | Who is she, Paulina? |
46375 | Who lives there? |
46375 | Who told you? 46375 Who''s the girl?" |
46375 | Who? |
46375 | Whom are you going to invite, Janet? |
46375 | Why did n''t you tell me all this before? |
46375 | Why do I have Lucy, Jan? 46375 Why do n''t you ring, then, instead of getting in this foolish way?" |
46375 | Why do you want to know that? |
46375 | Why does n''t she take it to a bank? |
46375 | Why should I? |
46375 | Why, Mother,she softly said,"did you come,--at last?" |
46375 | Why, do you? |
46375 | Why, is she dead, too? |
46375 | Why? |
46375 | Why? |
46375 | Will it interrupt your affairs too much, John? |
46375 | Wo n''t it be fine to go to a home where you do about as you please, the way it is at your house? |
46375 | Wo n''t we feel silly, Jannet? 46375 Would n''t his sweetheart marry him?" |
46375 | Would you care, then, if the old wreck got hurt again? |
46375 | Yes, how did you know that? |
46375 | Yes, is n''t it? 46375 Yes, is n''t it? |
46375 | Yes, is n''t it? |
46375 | You are not afraid of Paulina''s ghosts, then? |
46375 | You can scarcely get used to our gentle P''lina, can you, Jannet?'' 46375 You do n''t intend to send me away, then, till I get married?" |
46375 | You were in the war, were n''t you, Cousin Andy? |
46375 | Your courage is not quite up to that yet? |
46375 | _ Can_ we have a party and dress up some time? |
46375 | _ Why_ do n''t you think I ought to be here, Paulina? 46375 And what will your uncle Pieter say to us? |
46375 | And where are the steps?" |
46375 | And you never saw me or anything?" |
46375 | Any other woes that you can think of?" |
46375 | Are n''t you afraid of the ghost?" |
46375 | Are you lonesome?" |
46375 | Are you really going to take her something to- morrow, Nell? |
46375 | But Jan, sha n''t we take something for the picnic?" |
46375 | But they would be locked, too, would n''t they?" |
46375 | But where could she put them if she took them from the desk? |
46375 | But who would climb the balcony, other than Jan or Chick or some other boy? |
46375 | But wo n''t it be wonderful to have some kin folks? |
46375 | But you would n''t want_ me_ to go there with you, would you? |
46375 | But you would not mean to cut me off from the people that have been so good to me, would you?" |
46375 | By the way, Jannet, did you know that Andy mounted a horse and rode with me quite a little? |
46375 | By the way, what perfume does Vittoria use?" |
46375 | Ca n''t you?" |
46375 | Can we have a talk? |
46375 | Can you keep a secret, Nell?" |
46375 | Could her uncle have taken them out by a sudden thought of surprising her with them some time? |
46375 | Could it be possible that she had spent all Lina''s lesson period in looking at the books, reading the letters and thinking? |
46375 | Could it be some joke? |
46375 | Could it be, Jannet thought, so short a time since she left the school and came to Uncle Pieter''s? |
46375 | Could it_ really_ be ghosts, that can go in or out of walls?" |
46375 | Could that be your name, Janet? |
46375 | Could there be a burglar? |
46375 | Could there be a crack in the bottom?" |
46375 | Did n''t your fortune say that you would lose something and find it again?" |
46375 | Did she know that poem, or did n''t she? |
46375 | Did the lady tell you that your uncle wants you to go as soon as possible to the Van Meter place in New York and make your home there?" |
46375 | Did you know my mother?" |
46375 | Did you know that I can ride again, Jannet?" |
46375 | Did you like my mother, Paulina?" |
46375 | Did you meet anyone in the halls?" |
46375 | Did_ you_ know that I had a long talk with Uncle Pieter, and that I''m going to stay in the family and not go back to school?" |
46375 | Do n''t you suppose she heard that moaning?" |
46375 | Do the ghosts walk at night, especially when there is a storm?" |
46375 | Do you like Andy?" |
46375 | Do you remember anything about it? |
46375 | Do you suppose that we could see the attic, too?" |
46375 | Do you suppose we''ll have to be up here after_ dark_?" |
46375 | Do you think that you have to do it?" |
46375 | Do you want me to call you John or Jan?" |
46375 | Does Jan know the story?" |
46375 | Does this depress you, Janet?" |
46375 | Don''yo''want to tas''the frostin''out o''the pan?" |
46375 | Finally he said,"Do you remember anything else, Vittoria? |
46375 | First, where were the pearls? |
46375 | Had not Janet been in this school since her sixth year? |
46375 | Had she not just acquired one? |
46375 | Has you seen dat slick- headed gal Paulina takes around to help her clean?" |
46375 | Have you been happy here, Janet?" |
46375 | Have you been here all these years?" |
46375 | Have you had that?" |
46375 | Honestly, Allie May, is there a package for me? |
46375 | How about Paulina? |
46375 | How come you ai n''t been here befo''?" |
46375 | How could any one enter there? |
46375 | How did they lose me, I wonder? |
46375 | How do you get there? |
46375 | How long ago did this separation between her uncle and his wife occur? |
46375 | How many things might have happened to them in these years, and why had not her mother been able to find them? |
46375 | How would it do for you to call personally in a little while, after we hear Janet''s reports about her people?" |
46375 | How would you like to have me take Janet there, or to Albany, rather, where Van Meter says she will be met?" |
46375 | I believe that the pearls were there, and where could they have gone? |
46375 | I can not think that any one could have taken my pearls, yet where_ are_ they? |
46375 | I gather that the ghost has not offered to harm you in any way?" |
46375 | I guess that you''ll get the long trip to Europe with your mother, and how about the''luck when you are found''?" |
46375 | I guess we could squeeze through, could n''t we?" |
46375 | I have n''t heard another sound, have you?" |
46375 | I left it on the ring with the rest, or--""You say''she,''--how do you know that it is n''t''he''?" |
46375 | I suppose, Jannet, that you have been trained to think that school hours are the only thing in the world worth keeping?" |
46375 | I thought that Uncle Pieter wanted me to ride Ben?" |
46375 | I was away,--what was the slip of paper?" |
46375 | I''ll have to go to school some more, wo n''t I?" |
46375 | If_ they_ were not afraid to be up there, why should_ she_ be afraid of the attic? |
46375 | In a storm, who would hear them? |
46375 | Is n''t he a queer old-- fellow? |
46375 | Is this the stump of the old black walnut that nearly killed you when it fell?" |
46375 | Jan telephoned the news to Nell and Chick and stopped Jannet in the hall one time to ask her,"How about the fortune that old Grandma Meer told you? |
46375 | Janet, holding Miss Hilliard''s hand looked up into the kind eyes and asked soberly,"Do you suppose that really is my name, Miss Hilliard?" |
46375 | Jannet continued,"Where''s Vittoria?" |
46375 | Jannet''s fair hair, her quiet, sweet young face, the slender hand under her cheek,--who_ was_ this? |
46375 | Mother must have died before my grandfather, so how could Uncle Pieter cut her out of her rights?" |
46375 | No telling how soon the girls will come back,--but_ who_ locked us in, then?" |
46375 | Now do you know everything you came to ask?" |
46375 | Now, let me see, what were we going to talk about?" |
46375 | Now, where below was there room for the rest of the secret chamber? |
46375 | Oh, how can I do that? |
46375 | Once when she was coming back from a ride, Uncle Pieter, also on his horse, rode up to her and asked,"Any sign of the pearls?" |
46375 | Or was there such a thing as an unhappy ancestral spirit that wandered around at times? |
46375 | Paulina opened it a crack and looked out with the expression of"who wants me now?" |
46375 | Paulina says''Keep Out,''in large letters, does n''t she, Jan?" |
46375 | Perhaps there are boxes of your mother''s in the attic, and there may be chests of bygone ancestors,--who knows? |
46375 | Say, Paulina, who goes into the attic besides you and me?" |
46375 | Second, who had played the part of ghost? |
46375 | See? |
46375 | See?" |
46375 | Shall I look in a little later? |
46375 | Shall we open it?" |
46375 | Shall you feel like going if Uncle takes me traveling a little bit?" |
46375 | She said,''what do we care? |
46375 | She, too, suspected Jan, yet Paulina might have had a hand in it, and how about the maid, Vittoria? |
46375 | Should she go back the way in which she had come? |
46375 | Should she leave the pearls in the desk? |
46375 | Should she tell her uncle about them? |
46375 | So some of the girls have mothers and you want to know about yours? |
46375 | That scrap must refer to the loss of the pearls, yet why should her mother_ write_ to her uncle about it? |
46375 | That was the name of the girl,--so you are Pieter''s niece, then?" |
46375 | The first adventure had been a pleasant one; but how would she fare with Paulina, whom she intended to"beard"in her room that evening? |
46375 | The same old ghost, a burglar, or was Nell only startled at some little sound? |
46375 | The"folks"expected to be out late anyway, and if the storm was too bad, who knew when they_ would_ get home? |
46375 | Then Jannet drew her chair closer and said,"Now may I take time to tell you what has been happening?" |
46375 | Vittoria was too young,--but_ was_ she so very young? |
46375 | Was it a Dutch name, too? |
46375 | Was it really her name? |
46375 | Was n''t it great that her mother had a sense of humor and was smiling over the booklet? |
46375 | Was that what Paulina meant, then? |
46375 | Were there any other letters?" |
46375 | What are we going to do up here besides the picnic lunch, Nell?" |
46375 | What do you mean?" |
46375 | What had Uncle Pieter said about her"having some rights in the home of her ancestors?" |
46375 | What is it?" |
46375 | What should she do first? |
46375 | What time is it, Jannet?" |
46375 | What was Nell saying? |
46375 | What was it? |
46375 | What was the use of doing it all to- day? |
46375 | What''s the idea? |
46375 | Where are the girls, anyway? |
46375 | Where had she gotten the impression that her mother would be buried among the Van Meters? |
46375 | Where has the child been, and what can you both tell me about my husband?" |
46375 | Where is Uncle Pieter?" |
46375 | Who do you suppose she meant when she told me to ask Uncle Pieter?" |
46375 | Who had taken them? |
46375 | Who was P.V.M.? |
46375 | Who was here, then?" |
46375 | Who was she?" |
46375 | Who_ are_ you?" |
46375 | Whose was it, so lovely with its surprised and tender smile? |
46375 | Why did n''t Grandmother Eldon leave me some word about my mother?" |
46375 | Why had Jannet not thought of that when she read the diary just now? |
46375 | Why had n''t she asked Jan? |
46375 | Why had n''t she told Nell to have Paulina take up the hunt with her? |
46375 | Why should he send for me?" |
46375 | Why should you not have it?" |
46375 | Why, did they have snap- shots_ then_? |
46375 | Why, whose pretty slippers were those by the chair? |
46375 | Why? |
46375 | Will I have the same allowance as usual?" |
46375 | Will you get my horse ready while I dress?" |
46375 | Will you mind if I get supper for us? |
46375 | Wo n''t it be fun if I have?" |
46375 | Would n''t you like that?" |
46375 | Would you like that?" |
46375 | You did n''t know that I''m a very fine cook, did you? |
46375 | You do n''t worry about ghosts, do you Jannet?" |
46375 | You feel pretty sure that it was she?" |
46375 | You have always thought that the Janet came from your grandmother''s Scotch ancestry, have n''t you?" |
46375 | You remember that wind storm, Nell?" |
46375 | You were n''t with her all the time, though, were you, Janet?" |
46375 | You will be afraid to go to sleep again, wo n''t you?" |
46375 | You would think that I''d have loads of time, would n''t you? |
46375 | _ Could_ it be Paulina after all? |
46375 | _ Was_ she a Van Meter? |
46375 | asked Janet suddenly,"John that spoke of the''ha''nts''?" |
46375 | asked Paulina,"that blue comforter that I put on your bed?" |
46375 | exclaimed Jannet,"that accounts for some of the noises in the attic, does n''t it? |
23738 | A convent? |
23738 | A lady with bright fair hair, colored like copper- bronze? |
23738 | A-- man I know? |
23738 | Ah? |
23738 | All you have seen? 23738 Although, as to not holding you----""You fancy you hold me? |
23738 | Although, it is rather near a stalemate for us both, is n''t it? |
23738 | And abandon Desire Michell? |
23738 | And all the divorce courts, Phil? 23738 And do you think Rossetti had no truth to base his poem upon?" |
23738 | And the truth? |
23738 | And what may be the explanation? |
23738 | And you came back here? |
23738 | And you will come to the farm soon? |
23738 | And you yourself? 23738 And, Desire Michell?" |
23738 | And, did you like the sight? |
23738 | Anything going on so early? |
23738 | Are you asking me to believe in witchcraft and sorcery? |
23738 | Are you going to stay and hunt for the book tonight, then? |
23738 | Are you sure, then, that it is not all this cabaret glamour you really are in love with? 23738 Because he has worn the uniform, then; proved his courage in war at sea? |
23738 | Better than catnip, Bagheera? |
23738 | But how can you be sure? |
23738 | But how do you explain that Desire knew what I experienced with the Thing from the Barrier, if my experiences were merely delirious dreams? |
23738 | But what are you going to do with her, man? |
23738 | But what of me, Desire? 23738 But why?" |
23738 | But will you not trust me to make a light and give what help I can? 23738 But you will come again?" |
23738 | By what claim? 23738 By what right?" |
23738 | Can you ask me? |
23738 | Can you hear, Roger? 23738 Come, Phillida, you take my sane point of view, I hope?" |
23738 | Cousin Roger? 23738 Cousin Roger? |
23738 | Cousin Roger? 23738 Cousin?" |
23738 | Desire,I said,"why should you be a sufferer for the actions of a woman who died over two centuries ago? |
23738 | Desire? |
23738 | Desire? |
23738 | Did the runaway sister leave any children? |
23738 | Did you know that? 23738 Did you take notice of what I do here?" |
23738 | Do ghosts write? |
23738 | Do n''t you see yourself one little, little bit, Cousin? |
23738 | Do they, perhaps, have visitors there, ladies in retreat for a time, as convents often do abroad? |
23738 | Do you judge she will? |
23738 | Do you know of a lady who wears that scent? |
23738 | Do you mean that you want me to go away from this place? |
23738 | Do you mean to account by nightmare for the wide and repeated experiences that twice brought me to the verge of death? 23738 Do you remember the maxim we used to write in copybooks? |
23738 | Do you suppose they will_ do_ anything dreadful about us? |
23738 | Do you think that all the traditions and learning of the younger world meant-- nothing? |
23738 | Do you? |
23738 | Ethan, what was that? |
23738 | Ethan, what_ are_ you talking about? |
23738 | Expiation of what? |
23738 | For so little, you would brave the Dread One in Its time of triumph? 23738 Gone?" |
23738 | Good, Phil? |
23738 | Has it not been so with all who loved the daughters of my race these two centuries past? 23738 Have none of you young people ever considered the singular emanations from swamps and marshes where rotting vegetation underlies shallow water? |
23738 | Have we not met front to front these many nights? 23738 Have you spoken to such beings, Desire?" |
23738 | He left children? |
23738 | Here, Phillida? |
23738 | Here, after my warning, after last night? |
23738 | Here? 23738 How can there be wrong in facing a situation that I did not cause?" |
23738 | How can you know? |
23738 | How can you say that? |
23738 | How could you tell? 23738 How could you?" |
23738 | How did you happen to come in at this hour? |
23738 | How did you know I was-- ill? |
23738 | How do you know that, Desire? |
23738 | How much do you both trust me? |
23738 | How shall I answer you, Roger? 23738 How shall I make you understand? |
23738 | How should I have harmed him, who came not near him, as ye know? 23738 I can keep you, then?" |
23738 | I do not mean trust my character or my good intentions, but how much confidence have you in my sanity and commonsense? 23738 I, to take happiness like that?" |
23738 | I? 23738 If as you say, this creature was not meant to meet mankind, how can It come after me this way?" |
23738 | If he takes money to leave me? |
23738 | If you are like other men and women, how can you know what happens when you are absent? 23738 Is it distrusting you to ask you to marry me?" |
23738 | Is it not hard enough, my duty? 23738 Is it not victory to have driven back the Dark One? |
23738 | Is n''t it funny, though, that he never will go into your room? 23738 Is n''t it lucky you and Desire could not get started in the car, after all? |
23738 | Is not that an injury? 23738 Is that all? |
23738 | Is there any other way? |
23738 | It will come-- often? |
23738 | Jealousy? 23738 Little? |
23738 | Man, whenever man has summoned Evil since the youngest days of the world have I not answered? 23738 Man,"It spat,"would you see me? |
23738 | Me? 23738 Me? |
23738 | Might n''t you help the lady more if you went away now, and came back? |
23738 | Mr. Locke, can you swallow some of this? |
23738 | Mrs. Hill, did you ever hear of anyone named Desire Michell? |
23738 | Music? |
23738 | My hair pleased you? |
23738 | No baggage? |
23738 | No one at all like that-- with hair warmer in shade than ordinary gold color, and a lot of it? |
23738 | No one who might be able to tell more than yourself? |
23738 | No? 23738 No? |
23738 | No? 23738 Not as sweet as this?" |
23738 | Not even to believe that you will press the knife if I refuse to free you? |
23738 | Not try-- to see me, even? |
23738 | Not-- hurt----? |
23738 | Notice what kind of water this is, Mr. Locke? 23738 Now that it''s a decent hour, do n''t you think Cristina might give us some breakfast?" |
23738 | Now? 23738 Of what would you convince me? |
23738 | Of what? 23738 Or did Mrs. Hill vamp you and make roast meat of your heart with her eyes?" |
23738 | Or do you propose to shut her up in some third- class boarding house day and night while you hang around here? 23738 Perhaps you felt that shake- up, a quarter- hour ago? |
23738 | Phil, do you put scent on your handkerchief week days as well as Sundays? |
23738 | Phil, will you come home to your father and mother, and consider all this a bit more before you decide? |
23738 | Puny earth- dweller, lost here,Its menace breathed,"what keeps you from destruction? |
23738 | Puny from of old, how should you prevail? 23738 Pygmy, will you think of another pygmy now?" |
23738 | Real? 23738 Really?" |
23738 | See how nice? |
23738 | Someone from your home town or your college town? |
23738 | The book? |
23738 | The convent? |
23738 | The door is barred, but what shall bar out the Enemy who creeps to the nine lamps? 23738 The lake, Vere? |
23738 | Then my nightmare was real? 23738 Then you are still happy?" |
23738 | Then-- were they pretty dreadful to you at home? |
23738 | Unless you are afraid I shall disturb your canaries? |
23738 | Unless you have a choice? |
23738 | Unless you wish me to go? |
23738 | Vere, in your varied experiences in peace and war, did you ever chance to meet a coward? |
23738 | Vere,I said abruptly,"did you know that I thought you were going to desert the farm, when you began to speak?" |
23738 | Vere? |
23738 | Was it? |
23738 | Was there something I can do for you? |
23738 | We are n''t ever going to give up? |
23738 | Well, Vere? |
23738 | Well? |
23738 | What can I tell you? 23738 What crouches behind her, unseen? |
23738 | What danger? |
23738 | What did you think? |
23738 | What does Vere say? |
23738 | What gates? |
23738 | What gates? |
23738 | What have I to do with It, who am more helpless before It than you? 23738 What have I to do with Sir Austin, or he with me?" |
23738 | What is happening outdoors? |
23738 | What kind of a place? |
23738 | What were the noises I heard from the lake, and the shocks we all felt? |
23738 | What? 23738 What? |
23738 | What? 23738 Where are you going?" |
23738 | Where did you buy it, Cousin Roger? 23738 Who are you?" |
23738 | Who are''we''? |
23738 | Who is she? 23738 Who is?" |
23738 | Who was she? |
23738 | Why can you not come again? |
23738 | Why do you tempt me? |
23738 | Why does It hate me? |
23738 | Why have you not spoken of this before? |
23738 | Why not, Vere? |
23738 | Why not? 23738 Why not?" |
23738 | Why not? |
23738 | Why not? |
23738 | Why, how did your lazy, tune- spinning, frivolous cousin get that reputation in this branch of the family? |
23738 | Why? 23738 Why? |
23738 | Will it make them lay? |
23738 | Will you die, then? 23738 Will you give it to me?" |
23738 | Will you go to my chiffonier, there in the alcove, and bring a package wrapped in white silk from the top drawer? |
23738 | Will you meet Phillida at the Grand Central and bring her home? 23738 Will you read, aloud, sir?" |
23738 | Wo n''t you drink the brandy, please? 23738 Would you hear a story of a woman of my house, and her anger, before you doubt too far?" |
23738 | Would you not live, pygmy? |
23738 | Would you take the witch- child to your hearth? 23738 Yes, Roger?" |
23738 | You believe my story, then? 23738 You came from there?" |
23738 | You do n''t care for the lake? |
23738 | You do not find it lonely here, or in any way depressing? |
23738 | You had no luncheon, you say? |
23738 | You like the place, Phil? |
23738 | You mean-- hypnotism? |
23738 | You observe that I have explained every point raised, Miss Michell''s testimony being of the vaguest? |
23738 | You read of the Thing----? |
23738 | You saw her? |
23738 | You served in the war? |
23738 | You trust him so much? |
23738 | You understand, Cousin Roger? 23738 You who have felt Its grope toward your inner spirit?" |
23738 | You will not? |
23738 | You would n''t bolt from it, either, would you? |
23738 | You would not leave me alone in this place, Cousin? |
23738 | You''ll do it? |
23738 | You-- value the braid so much? |
23738 | You? 23738 You?" |
23738 | Your father? |
23738 | Your own theory, sir, being----? |
23738 | _ But what crouches behind her, unseen? 23738 ''Measure a thousand times, and cut once?'' 23738 A clue? 23738 A healthy, normal life? 23738 A spirit or a woman? 23738 A thing of flesh and blood, or clever mechanism? 23738 A truth hinted at by alchemists, Pythagoreans, Rosicrucians, pale students of sorcery and magnificent charlatans, these many centuries? 23738 After all, why? 23738 All this eagerness pressing forward-- where? 23738 Already I had forced my way-- where? 23738 An embarrassment to her family, the heroine of a stolen marriage and Reno freedom, what chance of happiness would she have in her conventional circle? 23738 And Desire? 23738 And who has drawn back, Breaker of the Law? 23738 And why did not Phillida and Ethan suffer the nightmare with me? |
23738 | And why was its owner locked in silence and immobility? |
23738 | And, why?" |
23738 | And-- a new thought!--was she alone in the house? |
23738 | And-- and, will you tell Father and Mother?" |
23738 | Are n''t you working yourself too hard? |
23738 | Are there any interesting stories about the house? |
23738 | Are we not pleasantly urged out of our heroics and into the normal by breakfast, luncheon and dinner? |
23738 | Are you quite well? |
23738 | Are you sure you can not help me at all? |
23738 | Are you-- did I wake you up? |
23738 | As for the book''s existence, I had only to accept guidance from It----? |
23738 | As for the hair, is n''t that a matter of bottled polish and hairdressers? |
23738 | At the fire on the hearth or the cold phosphorescence of swamp and marsh? |
23738 | Basil, maybe?" |
23738 | Because he had the glamour about him of real adventure and cabaret glitter? |
23738 | Because he is strong and supple and has curly hair? |
23738 | Before you go upstairs to him, will you tell me where to find that bookcase?" |
23738 | Books or newspapers?" |
23738 | Both; as each time before? |
23738 | Brown like forest water, sort of green- lighted because the bottom is like turf; neither mud nor sand, but a kind of under- water moss? |
23738 | But can you conquer again, and again, and again? |
23738 | But does that sort of thing matter to you women? |
23738 | But how can either you or I forgive the cruelty that took it from its owner? |
23738 | But is there no knowledge not yet commonplace? |
23738 | But now, what of Desire Michell? |
23738 | But she has to come to me; it''s her right, do n''t you think? |
23738 | But surely the lady was not vanished like the nightmare? |
23738 | But the telephone wire came across the place right past the garage, you know----""The tree tore the wire down, too?" |
23738 | But what sane man had nightmares like these? |
23738 | But what was That just vanishing into the darkness beyond my window- sill? |
23738 | But where, then, was I next to seek? |
23738 | But you will admit the provocation to my curiosity? |
23738 | But you, so rich in all things, free and happy-- how should it matter to you if a voice in the dark speaks or is silent? |
23738 | But, are you fairy or automaton?" |
23738 | But, how did she know of the Thing''s visit to me? |
23738 | But-- in what land unknown to man towered the vast mountains in whose shadow I panted and strove? |
23738 | But-- one servant? |
23738 | By what swollen conceit could I hope to win against Them? |
23738 | CHAPTER XVII"They say-- What say they? |
23738 | Ca n''t we, Drawls?" |
23738 | Could I bear the agony of Its presence, the stench of death and corruption that was Its atmosphere? |
23738 | Could I care for this matter while I was here? |
23738 | Could I meet that Thing tonight, and tomorrow night? |
23738 | Could anyone fail to be pleased with that most magnificent braid? |
23738 | Could n''t a note be left for her, telling her to come to us?" |
23738 | Could that be what Desire had meant me to understand? |
23738 | Could this rest and calm hold me content here, where I had meant merely to pause and pass on? |
23738 | Cousin Roger----?" |
23738 | Creature of clay, crumbling now in the sea of mortality, do you brave my immemorial age?" |
23738 | Desire Michell, what has the Horror to do with you?" |
23738 | Desire of mine and of the unhuman Thing, did we grasp at Eve or Lilith? |
23738 | Did I fear to know the truth? |
23738 | Did I hear a movement, or only a stirring of the orchard trees beyond the windows? |
23738 | Did I imagine a slight uneasiness in those eyes, a wary readiness in gathered limbs and muscles bulking under the old cat''s scant fur? |
23738 | Did I not hear a wistful reluctance in her tone? |
23738 | Did Phillida allow him in the house, or not? |
23738 | Did Something uprear Itself out there in the black fog? |
23738 | Did Vere comprehend me better? |
23738 | Did anything slip out over the window- sill when you were waking up?" |
23738 | Did n''t you know that?" |
23738 | Did the others share my repugnance? |
23738 | Did the wind wake you, too? |
23738 | Did you actually know what Roger experienced in these excursions before he told you of them?" |
23738 | Did you measure it?" |
23738 | Do n''t you know, Cousin Roger, that the most important things in the world are those most people never know about?" |
23738 | Do not Ennemoser and many writers record it?" |
23738 | Do you have to write your lovely music at night, Cousin Roger? |
23738 | Do you not know what it means to take a gift from the Dark Ones of the Borderland? |
23738 | Do you see nothing there stranger than a path through the woods even when trodden by a wilful woman?" |
23738 | Do you think Mother and he ever will, Cousin Roger?" |
23738 | Do-- do I look queer, Cousin? |
23738 | Down-- shall your race affront mine?" |
23738 | Drawls, will you light the alcohol lamp on the tea- table? |
23738 | Eight hours? |
23738 | Ethan? |
23738 | Even in your world, does not evil hate good as naturally as good recoils from evil? |
23738 | Even with your voice in the dark? |
23738 | Flight? |
23738 | For none of these reasons? |
23738 | For what? |
23738 | For what? |
23738 | For whom?" |
23738 | Good heavens, Vere, do you realize what either life would be for an nineteen- year- old girl brought up as she has been?" |
23738 | Ha, was not Beauty the lure, and shall it not be the vengeance? |
23738 | Had I brought with me or did I hear now a whispered:"_ Pygmy, again!_""Cousin, Cousin, are you very ill?" |
23738 | Had I called or cried out? |
23738 | Had I fallen so low as to heed the caprices of a pet cat? |
23738 | Had I met one of these beings, inimical to man as a cobra, intelligent as man, hunting Its victim by methods unknown to us? |
23738 | Had any of us the right to lay hands upon her existence and mould it to our fancy? |
23738 | Had not my weeks of endurance earned me this right? |
23738 | Had she a home, or did she need one? |
23738 | Had the girl told the truth in her wild explanation? |
23738 | Had the old- world trinket been left to bewilder me? |
23738 | Had we ever really expected to go? |
23738 | Had you chosen the place, or shall I?" |
23738 | Have I not a right to curiosity? |
23738 | Have I not brought my presence to the magician''s lamp? |
23738 | Have I not injured you?" |
23738 | Have I not shadowed the alchemist at his crucible? |
23738 | Have you forgotten, Roger, that my life is not mine? |
23738 | Have you not opened your mind to the evil thoughts that creep upon the citadel of strength within and tear down its power? |
23738 | Have you not taken my gift that you might spy meanly on the secret of your beloved? |
23738 | Have you read the writings of the learned Jew or of the Platonist, you who are so very bold?" |
23738 | Have you seen it?" |
23738 | Have you the power? |
23738 | Have you, then, measured Nature? |
23738 | He asked me:"Shall I get you out of this room?" |
23738 | He is deceiving us, or mad''?" |
23738 | Here, where It glooms, you have dared bring the high joy of the artist who creates? |
23738 | How came a book to be written about the girl I supposed young, unknown and set apart from the world? |
23738 | How can I describe the certainty of life that possessed me? |
23738 | How can I find her? |
23738 | How can I tell of a love that grew without sight? |
23738 | How can you? |
23738 | How convey to a listener that, understanding her so little, I yet knew her so well? |
23738 | How could I do harm by learning what she was, unless she had evil to conceal? |
23738 | How could I trust my enemy? |
23738 | How could they feel what I had felt? |
23738 | How dared I even hope for her return? |
23738 | How did I know It stalked no prey but me? |
23738 | How did I know this? |
23738 | How did it come to trail across my bed, in any case? |
23738 | How do some lucky girls have hair like that? |
23738 | How do you know what passes between the Thing from the Frontier and me?" |
23738 | How do you like your place?" |
23738 | How does that strike you?" |
23738 | How free us both? |
23738 | How had she seen him? |
23738 | How had they found out my condition? |
23738 | How have you challenged and mocked It this very night? |
23738 | How is that, Miss Michell? |
23738 | How many men are written down liars because they traveled in strange lands indeed, and explorers, strove to report what they had seen? |
23738 | How shall I describe Fear incarnate? |
23738 | How should I find her? |
23738 | How should I find words to embody it? |
23738 | How, I wondered, could anyone be expected to credit the story I had to tell? |
23738 | How, unless she too----? |
23738 | I guess you like to do it, though? |
23738 | I have one of the electric flashlights you bought for us all; see?" |
23738 | I wonder, then, if you would mind if we stopped to see a show that I especially want to look over, for business reasons? |
23738 | I''d like to know where a young city feller like you got that old story from?" |
23738 | If I did meet her, would she forgive me the loss of her braid? |
23738 | If I should speak, what would she do? |
23738 | If I stood firm----? |
23738 | If It did----? |
23738 | If Phillida refused to consent to a divorce, how could she live at home as the wife of a man her parents had pronounced unfit to receive? |
23738 | If she was the woman that she had seemed to be throughout our intercourse, how could the dark enemy control her? |
23738 | If she yielded and gave up Vere, would she be much better off? |
23738 | If so, which one would come first, and what might be my measure of success or failure? |
23738 | If something moved under the water----? |
23738 | If the monster is a ghost thing, may not she be one, too? |
23738 | If the trial had been hard when mercifully unanticipated, what would it be to meet my enemy now that I knew myself conquered? |
23738 | If we are to believe in such things at all----? |
23738 | If we are to help each other, as I hope, would not plain openness be best? |
23738 | If, therefore, ye shall have prepared yourselves, yet may escape----_"What did they mean, the old, old words men have rejected? |
23738 | In town? |
23738 | In what madness of panic had the girl sacrificed this beauty? |
23738 | Is he not a soldier who, aroused in the night to meet dreadful assault, sets his face to the enemy and battles front to front? |
23738 | Is n''t a braid of hair this wide,"I laid off the dimensions on the table,"this long, and thick, a good deal for a woman to own?" |
23738 | Just us?" |
23738 | Just-- curiosity?" |
23738 | Light quietly filled the lamps-- or was it that I had opened my eyes? |
23738 | Like a kind of earthquake, or the kick from a big explosion a long ways off? |
23738 | Locke?" |
23738 | Locke?" |
23738 | Locke?" |
23738 | Locke?" |
23738 | Locke_ stage?" |
23738 | May I not take her to dinner here in town?" |
23738 | May I take her to tea, between trains, and get out to your place on the six o''clock express?" |
23738 | May I? |
23738 | No applause, no lights, no stage?" |
23738 | No?" |
23738 | Now tell me with what eyes you have seen the Barrier and the Far Frontier? |
23738 | Now that you have seen him, you do understand? |
23738 | Now that you know, can you bear with a man who-- limps? |
23738 | Now, is n''t that a jumbled speech to tumble out of me?" |
23738 | Now---- She spoke with a breathless difficulty, spacing her words apart:"How did you-- find-- the book?" |
23738 | Of what? |
23738 | Oh man, with all the unfathomed universe about us,_ dare_ you pronounce what is real?" |
23738 | Once frightened away, how could she be found? |
23738 | Only my ignorance? |
23738 | Only, do tell me what the perfume is?" |
23738 | Only, real in what sense? |
23738 | Only, what was his object? |
23738 | Only, what was she about to do? |
23738 | Or because he took you away from a life you hated? |
23738 | Or did she doubt my intentions, and was her quietness that of one on guard? |
23738 | Or if he had not seen It, how did he know this room was an unsafe area? |
23738 | Or perhaps you did not know that?" |
23738 | Or was I still dreaming? |
23738 | Or was it tinged with auburn? |
23738 | Or was my foot indeed upon the mountain itself? |
23738 | Or, could she? |
23738 | Or, if you will agree not to escape----?" |
23738 | Or, perhaps, because he is kind and loves you? |
23738 | Past? |
23738 | Perhaps you might seem at last a phantom of my own sick brain to which faithfulness would be folly? |
23738 | Perhaps you produced it?" |
23738 | Perhaps, with patience----? |
23738 | Perhaps----Have you told Vere about the woman who visited this room, the first night I spent in the house? |
23738 | Please me? |
23738 | Please, may I? |
23738 | Please, please----?" |
23738 | Pure? |
23738 | Repudiate my violence and me-- perhaps go back to her hiding- place? |
23738 | Shall we go down to Phillida?" |
23738 | Shall we go in to Phillida?" |
23738 | She was a witch?" |
23738 | She was wrapped in a lot of floating thin stuff; gray, I guess? |
23738 | Should I ever see my Lady of the Beautiful Tresses come that way, or travel that road to where she lived? |
23738 | Should I not rather stand on this my ground where I was not the"lame feller"? |
23738 | So one wrote:''_ There is neither crystallomancy nor hydromancy, but the magick is in the Seer himself._''""Well, Desire?" |
23738 | Still, if such gifts were given as she believed, if it was merely a question of being Ethan Vere-- or Roger Locke----? |
23738 | Suppose our escape succeeded? |
23738 | Suppose she had fainted? |
23738 | Suppose she never came again? |
23738 | Suppose the episode was ended? |
23738 | Suppose we sit here together, strong in numbers, for the few hours until daylight? |
23738 | Surely I should find her in some neighbor''s daughter, when my house was finished and I went there for the summer? |
23738 | That I am a prisoner who has crept out for a little while? |
23738 | That braid?" |
23738 | The Horror or the lady? |
23738 | The Thing will come, and not you?" |
23738 | The Thing-- the enemy that comes to me has never spoken to you?" |
23738 | The breach of promise suits, and the couples who make each other miserable?" |
23738 | The danger, then, was only for me? |
23738 | The dark creature claimed her, she declared herself helpless to escape from that dominion into normal life, and yet It never had spoken to her? |
23738 | The darkness had been only for my eyes, then? |
23738 | The eyes of the body, or that vision by which man sees in a dream and which is to the sight as the speech of spirits is to the hearing?" |
23738 | The perfumed bronze- colored braid up in my drawer----? |
23738 | The water you have just tasted is pure and clear in the glass? |
23738 | The woman? |
23738 | There is n''t enough water- power over the dam to do any more than run a toy, is there?" |
23738 | There is no newcomer in the neighborhood, no visitor at any house who might be the one I am looking for?" |
23738 | This darling house? |
23738 | To fly from my place now, herded like a cowardly sheep by the Thing of the Frontier, would that not be to thrust her away to save myself? |
23738 | Under what circumstances did she dwell? |
23738 | Very original, is it not? |
23738 | Was I a cheated fool, or a pioneer on the borders of a new country? |
23738 | Was I confronted with two beings from places unknown to normal humanity? |
23738 | Was I letting slip an opportunity by my fastidious notions of delicacy? |
23738 | Was I then fighting for Desire Michell? |
23738 | Was I to fall as low as that? |
23738 | Was I to lose my self- respect also? |
23738 | Was I to run a beaten man from this peril, after standing against my enemy so long? |
23738 | Was I wrong in fancying the sigh regretful? |
23738 | Was Phillida''s charming wish to become a fact, I wondered? |
23738 | Was entrance into human air open to the alien Thing only through the ruins of the house where It had first been called by the sorceress of long ago? |
23738 | Was it mere slavishness of mind on my part not to overrule her timid will? |
23738 | Was it not enough that I had fled from my enemy after accepting the knowledge It had striven so long to force upon me? |
23738 | Was it not time? |
23738 | Was it too late for my Desire to come, and time for the coming of that Other? |
23738 | Was she one of those who have stepped from the permitted places? |
23738 | Was she trying to turn me from my purpose with her soft speech? |
23738 | Was some dark bulk just fading from beyond my window? |
23738 | Was that the lake which stirred in the windless night? |
23738 | Was there indeed some quality of courage----? |
23738 | We could come out on the theatre express; as we have done before, you remember?" |
23738 | Well, I had seen her at last-- but how? |
23738 | Well, was I to run away, hands over my eyes, at the first alarm? |
23738 | Well, where does poor Phil go, and when?" |
23738 | Were those a woman''s draperies or part of the night fog that showed mere swirl upon swirl of pale gray twisting in the path of light? |
23738 | Were you ill?" |
23738 | Were you not under eighteen years old?" |
23738 | What are the wars of man with man, compared with a man''s battle against the Unknown? |
23738 | What bond held her subject to the Thing from the Barrier? |
23738 | What can I offer her that I have not offered? |
23738 | What connection could its Desire Michell have with the girl I knew? |
23738 | What could I tell her of my vision of her womanly softness and timidity brought to bay by the Thing of horror, down in those empty lower rooms? |
23738 | What could they have in common? |
23738 | What did I hold in my arms? |
23738 | What did I know of this man, or where he would take her? |
23738 | What did I see, starting out of the black gloom? |
23738 | What distinguished me from a thousand men she might meet on any city street? |
23738 | What do you love Vere for, at bottom? |
23738 | What footing was here for dreary terrors? |
23738 | What formed there, more inhuman from Its likeness to humanity? |
23738 | What gates were to close between us? |
23738 | What good might I not do her? |
23738 | What had Hermas glimpsed in his visions? |
23738 | What had I ever said worth note in the hours we had spent together? |
23738 | What harm could I do Desire by this plan of Vere''s? |
23738 | What if she did go home? |
23738 | What if we came to an explanation tonight and ended this long delirium? |
23738 | What interest had my lady of the dark in elaborately deceiving me? |
23738 | What is real?" |
23738 | What is that motive?" |
23738 | What is the long dead Desire Michell to you?" |
23738 | What malignant glare seared disappointment and grim promise across my consciousness? |
23738 | What moves It against me?" |
23738 | What of her knowledge of that same nightmare? |
23738 | What of the legend of her family so exactly coinciding with all I felt? |
23738 | What other shapes of dread stalked and watched beyond that titanic wall? |
23738 | What reason have you for desperate action? |
23738 | What remained to be done? |
23738 | What responsibility was I assuming in letting my little- girl cousin go like this? |
23738 | What sense of humor can view too intensely a creature who must feed himself three times a day? |
23738 | What sent you to me?" |
23738 | What should I say to Desire Michell if she came tonight? |
23738 | What should loom so tall? |
23738 | What stirred at this empty hour? |
23738 | What time does her train get in?" |
23738 | What was to become of this girl? |
23738 | What were you looking for, just now, behind you?" |
23738 | What would you have from me? |
23738 | What, then?" |
23738 | When I could, I asked:"Married legally, beyond mistake? |
23738 | When she was across the room, I asked quietly:"What was it, Vere? |
23738 | Where are their abodes? |
23738 | Where could such a volume be hidden, in what secret nook in wall or floor? |
23738 | Where did she live? |
23738 | Where is Vere?" |
23738 | Where was that Barrier before which I had stood? |
23738 | Where-- when can I see you in daylight?" |
23738 | Where-- where were you going to take me?" |
23738 | Who and what was the girl Desire Michell whom I had come to love through a more profound darkness than that of the sight? |
23738 | Who are you? |
23738 | Who before me had stood at the Barrier and set foot on the Frontier between the worlds? |
23738 | Who could the woman be who brought that costly fragrance into a deserted farmhouse? |
23738 | Who cut her hair and left the braid in my hand to escape from me?" |
23738 | Who was she, who was claimed by the Unspeakable and who did not deny Its claim? |
23738 | Who was she? |
23738 | Who would keep tryst with me tonight? |
23738 | Who, then, was my guest? |
23738 | Whose gentle pity had brought this pomander to my pillow, to help me from that faintness which had followed my struggle with the Thing? |
23738 | Whose was the exquisite, individual fragrance contained in the ball I held? |
23738 | Why could she not put her hand in mine, any night, and let me take her away from this haunted place? |
23738 | Why did you cut it off?" |
23738 | Why had I not put my question to our rural mail deliverer in the beginning? |
23738 | Why had a peculiar horror crept through me when Mrs. Hill told me what ruins that water covered? |
23738 | Why muffle her identity in mystery? |
23738 | Why not drive out to my new house this evening and sleep tonight in the rosewood- furnished bedroom? |
23738 | Why not, when all things are still equally wonderful to it? |
23738 | Why should he ask that, since the spectre was for me alone? |
23738 | Why should you die?" |
23738 | Why speak of anger or forgiveness? |
23738 | Why the indefinable quaintness of language, the choice of words that made her speech so different from even the college- bred Phillida''s? |
23738 | Why was the fog against the windows this morning so like the fog that shrouded the unearthly sea opposite the Barrier? |
23738 | Why, and by whom? |
23738 | Why, at least, not come to me in the light, and let me see her face to face? |
23738 | Why, she changed her name to one fancier that you might have heard talk of? |
23738 | Why, then, love Ethan Vere?" |
23738 | Why, would you have me live all the years to come in doubt whether you were a woman or a dream? |
23738 | Why? |
23738 | Why? |
23738 | Why? |
23738 | Why? |
23738 | Why?" |
23738 | Why?" |
23738 | Why?" |
23738 | Why?" |
23738 | Why?" |
23738 | Will you believe there is no risk that I would not take for a few hours with you? |
23738 | Will you not be worn down by the Thing that knows no weariness and fall its prey at last?" |
23738 | Will you not feel strength fail, health break, madness creep close? |
23738 | Will you put a match to it, please?" |
23738 | Will you take me where I say, this one time?" |
23738 | Would It not deliberately forestall Desire''s coming, tonight? |
23738 | Would morning find me so? |
23738 | Would she spring up and escape? |
23738 | Would she stay? |
23738 | Would she thank me, or would she reply with some eccentricity unpredictable as her whim to tell me that tale? |
23738 | Would the creature from the Barrier have appeared to me, if I had not known her? |
23738 | Would you believe a thing because I told it to you? |
23738 | Would you care for him as an ordinary, hard- working fellow in a pair of overalls and a flannel shirt? |
23738 | Would you challenge me? |
23738 | Would you have had me leave without meeting you again, neither thanking you nor asking your forgiveness?" |
23738 | Would you rather go upstairs and lie down, and not hear any more of this stuff tonight?" |
23738 | Would you see the Eyes once seen by the witch- woman, who fell blasted out of human ken? |
23738 | Would you watch a man enter a jungle where some hideous beast crouched in ambush, while you neither warned nor armed him? |
23738 | Writer, ai n''t you? |
23738 | Yet what could that vague and learned gentleman do that I could not? |
23738 | Yet, what safety lies in secrecy between us? |
23738 | Yet, what was I to think? |
23738 | You are looking at me so----?" |
23738 | You are so good that you should be happy, but-- are you?" |
23738 | You did that fatal madness-- and you are here? |
23738 | You do not mean to leave the farm?" |
23738 | You do not think me suffering from delusions?" |
23738 | You know Mis''Royal Hill? |
23738 | You know now that I belong to It by heritage? |
23738 | You know why we can never be together as you planned? |
23738 | You must have been out a long time? |
23738 | You must not be left alone until you are quite safe; perhaps in New York?" |
23738 | You remember, Cousin Roger, how Mother always forbade pets because she believed animals carry germs? |
23738 | You saw her face, then?" |
23738 | You see? |
23738 | You took Its gift? |
23738 | You understand what I am trying to explain, do n''t you?" |
23738 | You will forgive me?" |
23738 | You will tell me no more about yourself? |
23738 | You, so perfect?" |
23738 | _ But what was she to whom the Thing laid claim by the pact of centuries?_ Darkness began to tinge with light. |
43199 | ''At the time of her mother''s death the deceased was sixteen years old?'' 43199 ''Can you give us any explanation of the cause of her aversion to our hotels?'' |
43199 | ''Cheerful airs?'' 43199 ''Did her death affect the deceased in any particular way?'' |
43199 | ''Had this been always the case with her?'' 43199 ''Have you at any time observed a disposition in her to commit suicide?'' |
43199 | ''Have you observed any change in her during the last few days or weeks?'' 43199 ''Her age?'' |
43199 | ''Her bedroom door was unlocked?'' 43199 ''How did you pass the day before her death?'' |
43199 | ''How is it that you and the deceased remained in the house when there were no servants in it?'' 43199 ''How long were you married?'' |
43199 | ''Is her mother living?'' 43199 ''On the night of your stepdaughter''s death, at what hour did she retire to her room?'' |
43199 | ''Profession?'' 43199 ''That is all the information you can give us?'' |
43199 | ''Was her general health good?'' 43199 ''Was her mother of a similar disposition?'' |
43199 | ''What is your name?'' 43199 ''What relation do you bear to the deceased?'' |
43199 | ''Where to?'' 43199 ''Who was in the house besides yourselves?'' |
43199 | A friend of yours? |
43199 | A nice looking gentleman, Barbara? |
43199 | A sensible woman,said Bob, gazing after my wife; and then, in a more serious tone,"Ned, is it all true?" |
43199 | A tall gentleman, Barbara? |
43199 | About the phantom of the girl? |
43199 | Absolutely nothing? |
43199 | Ah,said Rivers, in a significant tone which we understood,"what does that mean, indeed? |
43199 | Ai nt all gals fond of it? 43199 And is it damp?" |
43199 | And its color, madame? |
43199 | And no letter came? |
43199 | And she is still in the house? |
43199 | And that is the reason of the low rent? |
43199 | And that is why the last tenant did not live in it? |
43199 | And the door opened, as your wife has described? |
43199 | And yet it moves? |
43199 | And you did not see it again? |
43199 | Another? |
43199 | Any children? |
43199 | Anything the matter? |
43199 | Apart from this loss of memory, from this forgetfulness of herself, is she in health? |
43199 | Are the drains in good order? |
43199 | Are you asleep, Edward? |
43199 | Are you feeling better? |
43199 | Are you going with him? |
43199 | Are you ill? |
43199 | Are you quite well this morning? |
43199 | Are you ready to talk, Barbara? |
43199 | Are you sure it is n''t more? |
43199 | Are you sure of that, Ned? |
43199 | Are you sure of that? |
43199 | At the George? |
43199 | At what hour last night? |
43199 | Barbara, was your sister fond of dress? |
43199 | Been all day at it,I said, the tears starting to my eyes at the infinite pathos in the girl''s voice;"you have been hungry all day?" |
43199 | Beer or whisky, doctor? |
43199 | Bob, would you judge me to be a man possessed of a fair amount of common sense? |
43199 | But what have you seen? |
43199 | But you''re never going to, sir? |
43199 | But, Edward, who opened the door? |
43199 | Ca n''t you do something, Edward? |
43199 | Ca n''t you lock the door? |
43199 | Can I ever forget it? 43199 Can you read?" |
43199 | Can you see him plainly?'' 43199 Caring, as a rule, more for the prosaic than the romantic side of things?" |
43199 | Cheerful, is n''t it, Bob? |
43199 | Concealed for the purpose of doing us an injury? |
43199 | Dead? |
43199 | Did I make a noise, sir? 43199 Did he wear spectacles?" |
43199 | Did n''t I see you on the boat? |
43199 | Did she die soon after? |
43199 | Did you bring a dog with you? |
43199 | Did you ever find any more? |
43199 | Did you ever see Miss Beatrice? |
43199 | Did you see anyone answering to their description? |
43199 | Did you see it? |
43199 | Did you see my wife? |
43199 | Did you see the man who went after them in the second cab? |
43199 | Digestion good, Ned? |
43199 | Do you feel better? |
43199 | Do you intend to favor me with your company? |
43199 | Do you know where he has gone? |
43199 | Do you know, Barbara, what became of Miss Beatrice? |
43199 | Do you not see the impossibility of our remaining where we are? |
43199 | Do you really consider it necessary that she should accompany us? |
43199 | Do you recollect the dress that Miss Beatrice wore when you saw her last? |
43199 | Do you recollect what frock she wore when you saw her last? |
43199 | Do you see any connection,I asked,"between that glare and the attention which the apparition is bestowing upon it?" |
43199 | Do you speak French and German? |
43199 | Do you suppose they have any suspicion that they are being followed? |
43199 | Do you think I am still laboring under a delusion? |
43199 | Do you think I have not had trouble enough in my life? 43199 Do you wish us to believe you have not seen her?" |
43199 | Do_ you_ know Lamb''s Terrace? |
43199 | Does he live here alone? |
43199 | Does it reply by any sign? |
43199 | Does not that prove that the figure you spoke of was a trick of the imagination? |
43199 | Does she take it willingly? |
43199 | For any particular reason, Barbara? |
43199 | For one-- why does the master say she will not live, when, but for her loss of memory, she is strong and well? |
43199 | For what reason on earth should a detective be running after your husband? |
43199 | For what reason? |
43199 | From Molly, my dear? 43199 From what part of the Continent?" |
43199 | From whom did you obtain your information? |
43199 | Gone to another hotel? |
43199 | Has it been long unlet? |
43199 | Has that anything to do with the inconveniences you speak of? |
43199 | Have you anything you can show me from him? |
43199 | Have you decided? |
43199 | Have you enjoyed yourself? |
43199 | Have you got over it? |
43199 | Have you heard anything? |
43199 | Have you heard her play upon it? |
43199 | Have you no home, my dear? |
43199 | Have you seen the house? |
43199 | Have you seen your nephew to- day? |
43199 | Have you? |
43199 | He has been abroad? |
43199 | Her Christian name? |
43199 | How can he sleep so peacefully at such a moment as this? |
43199 | How can you be sure of that? |
43199 | How could I get inside,he retorted,"without the key? |
43199 | How did he take it? |
43199 | How did it come open, then? |
43199 | How did you discover it? |
43199 | How did you manage for coals, Barbara? |
43199 | How do you make that out? |
43199 | How long have you lived here? |
43199 | How many empty houses are there on your list? |
43199 | How many houses are we going to look over? |
43199 | How much is it, and how long has it been due? |
43199 | How often does she take it? |
43199 | How was I to know it when I had never seen the lady, when I had never seen the girl, when I had never seen him before that morning? |
43199 | I am not a detective,I answered, with, I confess, a rather guilty feeling, for if I was not doing the work of a detective, what else was I doing? |
43199 | I mean, Barbara, since it has been empty? |
43199 | I suppose it would be too much to ask you to keep me company here this week, after your office work is over? |
43199 | I suppose you have not discovered whether Mr. Nisbet lives alone? |
43199 | If we went to your nephew''s house, do you think we should find him up? |
43199 | If yer going to see Molly, sir,she said, with tears in her eyes,"wo n''t yer take me with yer?" |
43199 | If you heard it, would you remember it? |
43199 | In Heaven''s name what are you talking about? |
43199 | In life? |
43199 | In this house? |
43199 | In what way, my dear? |
43199 | In what way? |
43199 | In what way? |
43199 | Irish whisky? |
43199 | Is Dr. Cooper at home? |
43199 | Is anything the matter with you? |
43199 | Is he not at home? |
43199 | Is it clear? 43199 Is it here, then?" |
43199 | Is it in good repair? |
43199 | Is it opening medicine? |
43199 | Is she his child, then? |
43199 | Is she suffering in any way? |
43199 | Is that all you have to tell us,inquired Ronald,"of what came to your knowledge in London and on your journey here?" |
43199 | Is that his name? |
43199 | Is the apparition that first appeared to you in that ill- fated house visible to you? 43199 Is there a care- taker in the house?" |
43199 | Is your apparition present? |
43199 | It is perfectly clear, like water? |
43199 | It looks like it, does n''t it? |
43199 | It was you we heard moving about? |
43199 | May I ask the name of the gentleman who is doing business for you in London? |
43199 | May we say that she is afflicted? |
43199 | Might not something be gained from him? |
43199 | Miss Beatrice Nesbit? |
43199 | Must not a woman have a mind? 43199 No appetite, Ned?" |
43199 | No delusion, eh, Bob? |
43199 | No one hurt, I hope? |
43199 | No, sir; do you? |
43199 | Not in the crime,asked Ronald,"in the discovery of it, I suppose you mean?" |
43199 | Not likely to give way to fads and fancies? |
43199 | Not married? |
43199 | Not put you in a more comfortable home, my dear? |
43199 | Now, Barbara, can you tell me the name of the place your sister was going to with Mr. Nisbet and Miss Beatrice? |
43199 | Now, Mr. Emery,said Rivers,"can you find your way alone to the hut?" |
43199 | Now, sir or madam,said I to the cat,"what do you think of Bob''s residence, and what can we do to make you comfortable?" |
43199 | Now, what for? |
43199 | Now, what have you to say? |
43199 | Now,_ do_ you think,she said, quizzing him,"that it is quite fair to take away the character of an empty house upon such slender grounds? |
43199 | Of that there is no doubt,I said;"but what does it point to?" |
43199 | Of what? |
43199 | Oh, he says that, does he? |
43199 | Oh,said my wife, smiling,"is that all? |
43199 | Only yourselves? |
43199 | Really a matter of fact? |
43199 | Roughly speaking, what sum does the landlord propose to allow? |
43199 | See her? 43199 Shall we go on?" |
43199 | She had a favorite instrument, had she not, upon which she was fond of playing? |
43199 | She is a French lady? |
43199 | She is not easily frightened,I said,"but what has that to do with it?" |
43199 | She_ will_ be surprised, wo n''t she, sir? |
43199 | Should I not starve if I went away? 43199 Since the house has been untenanted, perhaps?" |
43199 | Since you took up your quarters in this hotel what have you discovered? |
43199 | So you sleep in this house regularly, Barbara? |
43199 | Some relatives, surely? |
43199 | Tell me, Maria, in what particular way? |
43199 | That is her bedroom? |
43199 | That must be a long time ago, Barbara? |
43199 | The girl,she murmured;"that dreadful figure that came into the room?" |
43199 | The house seems to be completely out of repair? |
43199 | The idea of moving? |
43199 | The tenant has only just left it, I suppose? |
43199 | Then how have you learnt all you have told me? |
43199 | Then you saw something? |
43199 | To be let on lease? |
43199 | To live in, sir? |
43199 | To reside here? |
43199 | Two? |
43199 | Unwhat, sir? |
43199 | Upstairs or downstairs first? |
43199 | Very curious,I said,"and how does the wise physician account for the delusion?" |
43199 | Was he of a scientific turn of mind? |
43199 | Was she averse to society? 43199 Was she in a situation in London?" |
43199 | Was there anything peculiar in his appearance that you noticed particularly? |
43199 | Well, Mr. Millet,she said, with a shrewd glance at him,"what is this something of the highest importance that you have to impart to me?" |
43199 | Well, my child? |
43199 | Well,I observed,"say that I am a gentleman; is that anything against me?" |
43199 | Well? 43199 Well?" |
43199 | What are you hunting us down for? |
43199 | What are you looking at? 43199 What are you stooping for?" |
43199 | What became of the body-- though that''s a stupid question, because, of course, it was buried in the usual way? |
43199 | What can I say, except that it is most bewildering and mysterious? |
43199 | What color were they? |
43199 | What did we come out for? 43199 What did your sister Molly think of him?" |
43199 | What do we slave for? 43199 What do you mean by saying there are strange things, things you can not understand?" |
43199 | What do you mean? |
43199 | What do you say now to the spectral cat and its having urged us to come to this fire? |
43199 | What do you say to that, Ned? |
43199 | What do you see? |
43199 | What do you think it is? |
43199 | What do you think of it all? |
43199 | What do you think of it, Bob? |
43199 | What do you think of that, Mr. Millet? 43199 What do you want of him?" |
43199 | What do you want? |
43199 | What for, Bob? |
43199 | What good purpose would be served,asked Bob,"by disclosing it to him? |
43199 | What is his name? |
43199 | What is it that I shall do? |
43199 | What is it? |
43199 | What is the lady''s name? |
43199 | What makes you think so? |
43199 | What message? |
43199 | What name did she say? |
43199 | What now shall be done? |
43199 | What on earth should we take it for if we did n''t? |
43199 | What shall we do-- oh, what shall we do? |
43199 | What time did you come--I hesitated at the word--"home to- night?" |
43199 | What was it Molly said to you that you will never forget? |
43199 | What was it like? |
43199 | What was that? |
43199 | What was the name of her master? |
43199 | What was the reason? |
43199 | What was the rent he paid for it? |
43199 | What were you and Mr. Nisbet doing to- night before you went to bed? |
43199 | What wind? |
43199 | What would be her age, in your opinion, madame? |
43199 | What''s the matter? |
43199 | What? |
43199 | Whatever are you driving at, Maria? |
43199 | When Molly went away-- we will speak about that presently-- did nobody tell you that something had happened in this house? |
43199 | When Molly worked here used you to come and see her? |
43199 | When does_ It_ appear? |
43199 | When you recovered from your faint,said Bob,"was the figure still there?" |
43199 | When your master is absent he leaves medicine for her to take? 43199 When? |
43199 | When? |
43199 | When? |
43199 | Where are they? 43199 Where did she say she would send the letter?'' |
43199 | Where does all this come from? |
43199 | Where does he live? |
43199 | Where is it? |
43199 | Where to? |
43199 | Where to? |
43199 | Where? |
43199 | Who are you? |
43199 | Who is it? |
43199 | Who is there? |
43199 | Who told you I was in Brighton? |
43199 | Who would, I''d like to know? 43199 Who''s going to stand treat?" |
43199 | Who''s there? |
43199 | Why did you not light the fire in the stove, Barbara? |
43199 | Why did you stop on the doorstep, Edward? |
43199 | Why do you remain in his service? |
43199 | Why do you say discharged? |
43199 | Why do you say''poor lady''? |
43199 | Why not? |
43199 | Why not? |
43199 | Why should I not go? |
43199 | Why should I not, when you have promised to reward me? 43199 Why should we not go together?" |
43199 | Why should you be afraid to admit it? |
43199 | Why should you go? |
43199 | Why? |
43199 | Why? |
43199 | Will he be in soon? |
43199 | Will it lead to anything further? |
43199 | Will you accompany me to Paris? |
43199 | Within your own knowledge? |
43199 | Wot d''yer want of me, sir? |
43199 | Wot did you come the first time for, sir? |
43199 | Would he not have read the account of the inquest? |
43199 | Would you say that her inclination was to play sorrowful or somber airs? |
43199 | Yes? |
43199 | You actually saw nothing? |
43199 | You ai nt come from''er,''ave yer, sir? |
43199 | You are not sorry for it now? |
43199 | You began to_ feel_ shadows about, Barbara? |
43199 | You ca n''t read newspapers? |
43199 | You discovered that, did you? |
43199 | You do n''t seem to have liked his looks? |
43199 | You do not wish me and your husband to meet? |
43199 | You do? |
43199 | You expected to do so long before now? |
43199 | You followed us? |
43199 | You give it up altogether? |
43199 | You have a mother and father, my dear? |
43199 | You have had a tussle with fortune, old friend, and got the worst of it? |
43199 | You have noticed some change in me? |
43199 | You have seen nothing to- night? |
43199 | You infernal creature,I cried, holding the candle so that its light fell upon the specter,"what are you here for? |
43199 | You received my message, then? |
43199 | You remained in that house two weeks after Molly went away? |
43199 | You saw it? |
43199 | You see no shadows now? |
43199 | You shall have the money,I said;"are you sure they both went away in the train?" |
43199 | You suspect him of being an accomplice? |
43199 | You want to know where the doctor is? |
43199 | You will some day? |
43199 | You would know it again, I suppose, if you saw it? |
43199 | Your officer will telegraph to you from Paris? |
43199 | ''Are you sure of that?'' |
43199 | ''Can you see any likeness between us?'' |
43199 | ''Do you remain long in Geneva?'' |
43199 | ''How many times has this occurred?'' |
43199 | ''On any one of these occasions,''says the physician,''have you had a companion with you?'' |
43199 | ''Suppose the gentleman suddenly goes abroad?'' |
43199 | ''What does it matter,''he says,''whether I live in the house or not, so long as the rent is paid?'' |
43199 | ''What''s up?'' |
43199 | ''Where do you go from Geneva?'' |
43199 | ''Who are these for?'' |
43199 | ''You wo n''t give it to no one else, will yer, please, when it comes?'' |
43199 | A long and awful silence ensued, during which the agonizing question occupied my mind, what was being done outside the door? |
43199 | Ah, she had a brother? |
43199 | And do you suppose there''s a lock in the house in proper order?" |
43199 | Any more shadows, Barbara?" |
43199 | Are we friends or foes?" |
43199 | Are we not to believe in the resurrection? |
43199 | Are you a double- dyed knave, or an egregious fool? |
43199 | Are you a friend of his?" |
43199 | Are you going out for a walk?" |
43199 | Are you related to her?" |
43199 | As I stood pondering, Bob at my side, the spectral figure of the cat at my feet, Bob asked,"Well, Ned, where''s the connection?" |
43199 | At what hour in the morning are you due at your office?" |
43199 | Because we do not see him are we not to believe in him? |
43199 | Bernstein kind to them? |
43199 | Bernstein, did you ever taste this medicine?" |
43199 | Bernstein? |
43199 | Bernstein?" |
43199 | Besides, what call had I to tap the gentleman on the shoulder and say,''I''ll trouble you to tell me what you have under your arm?'' |
43199 | Bob whispered to me once:"Has it accompanied us?" |
43199 | But O Molly, Molly, why do n''t you come back? |
43199 | But if yer_ do_ see Molly, yer''ll give''er my love, wo n''t yer, and arks''er if I can come to''er?" |
43199 | But it must cause you regret?" |
43199 | But what can she do against them alone?" |
43199 | But what necessity is there for you to go into a number of empty houses?" |
43199 | But would it not be discovered?" |
43199 | But, that accomplished, all chance of Mr. Nisbet coming into a fortune of £ 60,000 would be lost? |
43199 | By the way, did Dr. Cooper have time to bring his slippers with him from London? |
43199 | By what?" |
43199 | Came back where? |
43199 | Can I see your husband?" |
43199 | Can you give me a personal description of the gentleman?" |
43199 | Carrying the hypothesis further, what should you say became of the body of the-- did you say a lady?" |
43199 | Compensations? |
43199 | Could it have been willfully suppressed?" |
43199 | Could it have been, after all, an illusion? |
43199 | Could you catch one of these, whichever is the nearest for you?" |
43199 | Dickson?" |
43199 | Dickson?" |
43199 | Did he leave in a cab? |
43199 | Did not the information Mr. Gascoigne gave you of the last tenant strike you as rather extraordinary?" |
43199 | Did she know her lover was near her, I thought, and that she was saved from the dread peril with which she had been threatened? |
43199 | Did she show that it was distasteful to her?" |
43199 | Did she tell you she was going alone first, and that her master and Miss Beatrice were to follow afterward?" |
43199 | Did the clerk know for which railway station? |
43199 | Did they expect him to return? |
43199 | Did they leave on foot or in a cab? |
43199 | Did you ever take a sleeping draught?" |
43199 | Did you understand from Molly that she was going abroad?" |
43199 | Did_ you_ see nothing?" |
43199 | Do n''t you think, Edward, that the news Mr. Millet has given us makes the house all the more interesting?" |
43199 | Do you believe that you will ever see the young lady again?" |
43199 | Do you come to help the poor lady? |
43199 | Do you not see the crime your accomplice was meditating?" |
43199 | Do you propose to go over the whole twenty- three to- day?" |
43199 | Do you remember how we hunted and hunted till we found this house?" |
43199 | Do you remember our first cigar in your little bedroom in your father''s house? |
43199 | Do you require absolute visible proof before you believe?" |
43199 | Do you suspect, doctor, that the woman is guilty?" |
43199 | Do you understand?" |
43199 | Does he go to bed late?" |
43199 | Does your master oppress her? |
43199 | Down he goes like a stone, and he can be done to death, and his body hidden in a hundred holes-- and who''s the wiser? |
43199 | Elsdale?" |
43199 | Emery?" |
43199 | Emery?" |
43199 | Emery?" |
43199 | Far from here?" |
43199 | First, what has become of the girl Molly? |
43199 | For a railway station? |
43199 | For one murder discovered, how many undiscovered? |
43199 | For what purpose had it come? |
43199 | For what reason should they change hotels? |
43199 | Friends or foes? |
43199 | Had he and his friend occupied one room? |
43199 | Had she any objection to give me his address? |
43199 | Had the bell I rang summoned it from the grave? |
43199 | Has any idea suggested itself to you that would be likely to explain the reason of Mr. Nisbet choosing Dr. Cooper as a companion?" |
43199 | Has it a sediment?" |
43199 | Has there been any other person besides yourself in Mr. Nisbet''s service?" |
43199 | Haunted? |
43199 | Have I made myself clear?" |
43199 | Have the girls complained?" |
43199 | Have you any particular house in view?" |
43199 | Have you any theory as to Molly?" |
43199 | Have you done work for the day?" |
43199 | Have you seen the house, Bob?" |
43199 | Have you succeeded in persuading your good wife to go to the seaside?" |
43199 | Have you such an impression now?" |
43199 | Have you the courage to explore the house with me?" |
43199 | Have you the keys, Ned?" |
43199 | Have you?'' |
43199 | He may say, like you, that it is all fancy; but pray how does he account for the opening of a locked door?" |
43199 | He places this medicine in your charge? |
43199 | His name? |
43199 | How about Barbara?" |
43199 | How can I? |
43199 | How could it be otherwise? |
43199 | How did Mr. Nisbet''s stepdaughter meet her death? |
43199 | How do I arrive at that conclusion? |
43199 | How is it, Bob, that you have had time for so much talk to- day with your nephew?" |
43199 | How long have you been in service here?" |
43199 | How should I answer her? |
43199 | How, indeed, could I have felt differently with the specter cat lying at my feet, and looking up into my face? |
43199 | How? |
43199 | I am right in my understanding that you do not mind a little extra expense?" |
43199 | I could n''t''ave done nothink else to make sure of it, could I, sir?" |
43199 | I made bold to arsk both of''em about it,''Is there a letter for Barbara, wrote large, please?'' |
43199 | I suppose you have come across some curious cases in looking up apparitions?" |
43199 | If she do n''t find me''ere, where''s she to look for me, and''ow am I to know? |
43199 | If she is not his daughter she is doubtless some relation?" |
43199 | If this view were universal what would become of religion? |
43199 | In the absence of proof, of what practical value would mere suspicion be? |
43199 | In the face of all this, what will you think of my nephew when I tell you that he is under the delusion that Beatrice still lives?" |
43199 | Is he cruel to her?" |
43199 | Is it a liquid?" |
43199 | Is it here with us in the room?" |
43199 | Is it satisfactory, Mr. Nisbet? |
43199 | Is n''t there a German or French story of a man who sold his shadow to the devil? |
43199 | Is she to know that the house is haunted?" |
43199 | Is that in his favor?" |
43199 | Is this new to you, or has your nephew expressed himself to a like effect on other occasions?" |
43199 | Is your catalogue of ills finished?" |
43199 | It was offered to us at half the value of a house of such dimensions, and did you ever know a woman sufficiently strong minded to resist a bargain? |
43199 | May I venture to ask if you believe in spiritual visitations?" |
43199 | Mersac-- is not that a sufficient name?" |
43199 | Mersac-- it is not her name, but that matters little-- has no aversion to you, madame?" |
43199 | Mersac?'' |
43199 | Millet?" |
43199 | Millet?" |
43199 | Millet?" |
43199 | Millet?" |
43199 | Millet?" |
43199 | Must it always be the man?" |
43199 | My memory does not deceive me, does it, Bob? |
43199 | My name is Millet, Bob Millet-- don''t you remember?" |
43199 | Nesbit?" |
43199 | Nesbit?" |
43199 | Now, does it stand to reason that a lady and gentleman of ample means would willingly bury themselves in such a place? |
43199 | Now, how could that be managed? |
43199 | Now, how shall it be? |
43199 | Now, who knows of that place of deposit? |
43199 | Off goes the cab, and then, what do you think? |
43199 | Our little Barbara''s sister? |
43199 | People ask what for? |
43199 | Perhaps he went to a railway station? |
43199 | Rivers?" |
43199 | Rivers?" |
43199 | Second, what is the meaning of the association of Mr. Nisbet and Dr. Cooper? |
43199 | Sensation stories?" |
43199 | She closed them again immediately, and said, in a whisper:"Is it gone?" |
43199 | So dark are the thoughts that keep cropping up in my mind that I ask myself,''How did the mother meet her death?''" |
43199 | Some of us doctors have secrets that we keep to ourselves; make you as wise as we are, and where should we be? |
43199 | Terrified as we were, how could we trust the evidence of our senses? |
43199 | The inquiry agent gave you his name, I believe?" |
43199 | Then comes the question, who administered it? |
43199 | Then he asked,"Is there anything you wish to know?" |
43199 | Then his business could not have been a flourishing one? |
43199 | They have been making a chemical experiment, testing a liquid-- to what end? |
43199 | They say? |
43199 | To drink? |
43199 | To whom did these clothes belong?" |
43199 | Very fair?" |
43199 | Was he a doctor in good practice? |
43199 | Was he very rich? |
43199 | Was it a reasonable conclusion that she knew something of the last tenant, and could give me some information concerning him? |
43199 | Was it my fancy that there was a movement in the wall between the room we were in and that occupied by Mr. Nisbet? |
43199 | Was it really possible that the apparitions I had seen were the creations of my fancy? |
43199 | Was it to seek Dr. Cooper for the purpose of obtaining his assistance in a fresh crime to be committed on foreign soil? |
43199 | Was it to visit the house in Lamb''s Terrace in which the crime was committed? |
43199 | Were you aware at the time of your intimacy with him that his stepdaughter was heiress to a large fortune?" |
43199 | What are they doing now? |
43199 | What are you doing?" |
43199 | What are your feelings toward the person who has treated you so shamefully? |
43199 | What became of her?'' |
43199 | What brings her to this dismal, haunted hole?" |
43199 | What did Barbara say was her sister''s favorite dress?" |
43199 | What did it require of me? |
43199 | What did you come for this time, sir?" |
43199 | What do they call it in law? |
43199 | What do we study for? |
43199 | What do we waste the midnight oil for? |
43199 | What do you say now? |
43199 | What do you say to coming here tomorrow evening and hearing our report of the house?" |
43199 | What do you say to detective?" |
43199 | What do you say to our going in for the flitch of bacon?" |
43199 | What do you say-- a man or a woman?" |
43199 | What do you think I have done to- day?" |
43199 | What do you want me to do? |
43199 | What do you want to know, sir? |
43199 | What does such a lady naturally look forward to? |
43199 | What does that mean?" |
43199 | What does the old song say? |
43199 | What explanation will you give to your wife?" |
43199 | What had I to do with the incidents of this eventful day? |
43199 | What have they to do with it? |
43199 | What have you got in your bag?" |
43199 | What have you under that cloth? |
43199 | What hour is it?" |
43199 | What is it that Mr. Nisbet has just done? |
43199 | What is the consequence? |
43199 | What is the next step, Ned?" |
43199 | What is this story you are telling me of another girl being put into his daughter''s bed? |
43199 | What is your opinion?" |
43199 | What kind of dress did Barbara say that Miss Beatrice wore when she last saw her?" |
43199 | What kind of reading do you indulge in? |
43199 | What next?" |
43199 | What shall I do, what shall I do?" |
43199 | What was in the vial?" |
43199 | What was it you said? |
43199 | What was this motive, and how are we to act? |
43199 | What was your sister?" |
43199 | What were you doing? |
43199 | What would you do him if it was in your power?" |
43199 | What''s the consequence? |
43199 | When do we start?" |
43199 | When shall we start?" |
43199 | When you met her on the Continent, did she give you the impression that she was of a morbid or melancholy temperament?" |
43199 | When, and how?" |
43199 | Where and how did you live, my dear, while Molly was in service here?" |
43199 | Where can we look for direction as to the next step to be taken?" |
43199 | Where did they live? |
43199 | Where else''d I go to, I''d like to know?" |
43199 | Where has Mr. Nisbet gone to?" |
43199 | Where is the vial?" |
43199 | Where is your apparition, Ned?" |
43199 | Where is your sister?" |
43199 | Where to, sir?" |
43199 | Where''s the coin?" |
43199 | Where?" |
43199 | Who else at the inquest could have known anything about it? |
43199 | Who is Molly?" |
43199 | Who say?" |
43199 | Why are your eyes wandering so?" |
43199 | Why did he leave us to find it out for ourselves after we signed the lease?''" |
43199 | Why did not her stepfather give her opportunities of doing so? |
43199 | Why did we not come here before? |
43199 | Why did you move, you fool of a doctor? |
43199 | Why did you want to know where the young lady lived whom, but for my blindness, I should have asked to be my wife?" |
43199 | Why do you lock your door?" |
43199 | Why do you not go back to your grave and leave me in peace?" |
43199 | Why should she? |
43199 | Why, Maria,"I said, as she entered the room,"what have you got your hat on for? |
43199 | Will you spend a night or two with me there?" |
43199 | Will you testify? |
43199 | Will you trust me?" |
43199 | Will you undertake to carry this through?" |
43199 | Wosn''t that good of Molly, sir?" |
43199 | Wot did''appen, sir?" |
