6926 | Do you really think it blasphemy? |
6926 | Is Ellen here? |
6926 | Oh, but if Una is going, that would be a divided cherry, would it not? |
6926 | That is the simplest way, is it not? |
6926 | There!--I_ thought_--but you understand how-- if I had made a mistake-- Could anything have been worse if you had_ not_ been? 6926 Well, what had we better do with them?" |

6926 | Bright good and lovely to devote his only whole day in London to me? |
6926 | But how am I to tell you what I saw from them? |
6926 | But later she writes on"the eighteenth day of perfect weather,"and where can the weather seem so perfect as in England? |
6926 | But we really will not wait so long for number five? |
6926 | But why attempt to put into ink such a magnificent setting as this? |
6926 | But would it not be wiser to drop the question of right, and receive it as a free- will offering from us? |
6926 | By what right do you drink from my flagon of life? |
6926 | Can there be wrong, hate, fraud, injustice, cruelty, war, in such a lovely, fair world as this before my eyes? |
6926 | Can you believe it? |
6926 | Can you think of a happier life, with its rich intellectual feasts? |
6926 | Did you ever know of such pitiful evasions? |
6926 | Do you know anything about him? |
6926 | Do you know how very grand the judges are when in acto? |
6926 | Do you know that they are then kings, and when the Queen is present they still have precedence? |
6926 | Do you know?" |
6926 | Do you remember adding that"a premium should be offered for men of fourscore, as, with one foot in the grave, they would be less likely to run away"? |
6926 | Do you remember how you used to play with him at Southport, and how he sometimes beat you? |
6926 | Do you see Mr. Hawthorne often? |
6926 | Do you see"The Democratic Review"? |
6926 | Do you still thump dear Mamma, and Fanny, and Una, and Julian, as you did when I saw you last? |
6926 | Does Mrs. Hawthorne yet remember that she sent me a golden key to the studio of Crawford, in Rome? |
6926 | Does n''t it seem as if Nature wore your livery and wished to show the joy of your heart in every possible form? |
6926 | Has Hawthorne seen it? |
6926 | Have you read Froude''s history, just published, from the period of the fall of Wolsey to the death of Elizabeth? |
6926 | Have you seen Mr. Emerson''s"Nature"? |
6926 | Have you seen"The Angel in the House"yet? |
6926 | He did so rather pettishly, and said,"Well, what do you want me to look round for?" |
6926 | He said,"Where is my sword to hold in my hand when I get out of my ship?" |
6926 | His first question was,"Where is Elizabeth?" |
6926 | His sad, sweetly resentful glance had conveyed to me the idea,"Must I still live, if I live beneath my rank, and as a leaser of villas?" |
6926 | How can I convey to you an adequate idea of it? |
6926 | How can I help it if they choose me for an interpreter? |
6926 | How can I help it, if gentle souls, ill at ease elsewhere, wish to rest with you upon the margin of that sleepy stream? |
6926 | How can seraphs be contented with less? |
6926 | I again fiercely inquired,"WHO IS IT?" |
6926 | I am, in haste, E, M. H. DEAR ELIZABETH,--Shall we go to the beach? |
6926 | I made George a visit in the afternoon, in the midst of my battle with headache, and to my question of''How dost?'' |
6926 | I went to the door, and not opening it, in a voice of command asked,"Who is it?" |
6926 | If a traveler caught the Sphinx humming to herself, would he not be inclined to sit down and watch her till she did it again? |
6926 | If you have a copy of the"Valley of Solitude"[ one of my mother''s original allegories] will you send it? |
6926 | Is Sophia gone out?" |
6926 | Is it not a wonder that we should meet? |
6926 | Is it not provoking that the author should not have even one penny a volume? |
6926 | Is it not well that I kept fast hold of the white hand of Hope, dear Betty? |
6926 | Is love appreciated? |
6926 | Is not my supper good? |
6926 | Is not that funny? |
6926 | Is not this hot weather delightful? |
6926 | Is there any chance of our seeing you this summer? |
6926 | It is well worth reading; and your mother-- will she like to read it? |
6926 | Lord, when shall we be done changing? |
6926 | Lord, when shall we be done growing? |
6926 | MY DEAR Miss SOPHIA,--Will you accept from my sister Elizabeth Hoar and me the few accompanying prints? |
6926 | Miss Peabody, is that a_ bed?__ Oh,_ how beautifully everything looks! |
6926 | Now have I not given you a fine feast of homage,--"flummery"Mr. Hawthorne calls it? |
6926 | Of course Rome was here, for where did that proud queen not set her imperial foot? |
6926 | Oh, when are we going to Salem?" |
6926 | On such days can you sing anything but,"Oh, beautiful Love"? |
6926 | Perhaps you have heard of Miss Charlotte Cushman, the actress? |
6926 | Shall I tell you where I am? |
6926 | She lifted her smiling face, which must have been very pretty in her youth, and said,"How do you do, Miss Peabody?" |
6926 | So I looked over the books, and what do you think I saw? |
6926 | Sophia writes to Mrs. Mann, then in Washington:--"Is Congress behaving any worse than usual? |
6926 | Then Ada felt quite a different and new power seize her hand, rapidly writing:"Who?" |
6926 | Was ever one so loved? |
6926 | Was ever such a mischief?" |
6926 | Was it not a burning shame that I was not there? |
6926 | Was it not so? |
6926 | Was it not sweet and heroic in her to keep so quiet for two hours? |
6926 | Was it not too bad to disappoint her brother so? |
6926 | Was not he a silly child? |
6926 | Was not that a happy saying? |
6926 | Was not that a pretty dress? |
6926 | Was not that a shame? |
6926 | Was not that delightful for Miss Burley''s ears? |
6926 | Was not that impertinent? |
6926 | Was not that pleasant to hear from him? |
6926 | Was not that rare luck for us? |
6926 | Was not that sweet? |
6926 | What can he ask for more, having Mary for his own? |
6926 | What could be added, in the way of adjective, that would enhance? |
6926 | What is Longfellow about? |
6926 | What is Rome to a frozen clod? |
6926 | What is a garden without its currant bushes and fruit trees? |
6926 | What would the learned and the gifted do if there was no humble one to make the bread that supports life? |
6926 | When will you come back? |
6926 | Whence come you, Hawthorne? |
6926 | Where, oh where is the godmother who gave you to talk pearls and diamonds? |
6926 | Which is the biggest? |
6926 | Who and what is the author; and who buy and who read the audacious( I use mildest epithet) book? |
6926 | Who dares to sneer at that? |
6926 | Who does not feel, without a word to reveal the fact, the wondrous virtue of Catholic religious observance in the churches? |
6926 | Who ever heard of an icicle glowing with emotion? |
6926 | Who would not enjoy seeing a monarch come to so humble a contact with the bulwarks of his tower? |
6926 | Why did not you send Stuart''s Athens by him? |
6926 | Why did not you send the last number? |
6926 | Why did you not express your opinion of The House of the Seven Gables, which I sent you? |
6926 | Why not? |
6926 | Why should not there be religious as well as Political correspondencies? |
6926 | Why, ever since Adam, who has got to the meaning of his great allegory-- the world? |
6926 | Will father also look into"Graham''s Magazine"for March, and see whether it contains"Earth''s Holocaust,"and if so, send it to us? |
6926 | Will you ask your brother to dine with us to- morrow? |
6926 | Will you not come hither the last week of this month, or the second week in June? |
6926 | With such a father, and such a scene before her eyes, and with eyes to see, what may we not hope of her? |
6926 | Wo n''t you come to town again? |
6926 | Wo n''t you come to walk to- morrow afternoon with my mother, dear Elizabeth, and then I shall see you a few minutes? |
6926 | Would Mrs. Tappan have responded to Mrs. Ward by a gentler assertion of right than Sophia''s to yourself? |
6926 | Would not that be very terrible? |
6926 | Yesterday we were all there, and met-- now, whom do you think? |
41309 | 29th, 1839--6 or 7 P.M._ Blessedest wife_, Does our head ache this evening?--and has it ached all or any of the time to- day? |
41309 | All the time?--Or not at all? |
41309 | Am I not very bold to say this? |
41309 | Am I requiring you to work a miracle within yourself? |
41309 | Am I writing nonsense? |
41309 | And can she not do this? |
41309 | And hast thou been very good, my beloved? |
41309 | And how are your eyes, my blessedest? |
41309 | And how do you do this morning? |
41309 | And how many pages canst thou read, without falling asleep? |
41309 | And is his heart indeed heavy? |
41309 | And now have I anything to say to my little Dove? |
41309 | And now if my Dove were here, she and that naughty Sophie Hawthorne, how happy we all three-- two-- one--(how many are there of us?) |
41309 | And what wilt thou do to- day, persecuted little Dove, when thy abiding- place will be a Babel of talkers? |
41309 | And why was my dearest wounded by that silly sentence of mine about"indifference"? |
41309 | And will my Dove, or naughty Sophie Hawthorne, choose to take advantage of the law, and declare our marriage null and void? |
41309 | And will not you rebel? |
41309 | Are not these details very interesting? |
41309 | Are there any east- winds there? |
41309 | Are they not your own, as well as mine? |
41309 | Are we not married? |
41309 | Are we singular or plural, dearest? |
41309 | Are you conscious of my invitation? |
41309 | Are you quite sure that her own husband is the companion of her walk? |
41309 | Art thou an old woman? |
41309 | Art thou much changed by the flight of years, my poor little wife? |
41309 | Art thou much changed in this intervening time? |
41309 | Art thou not astonished? |
41309 | Art thou not glad, belovedest, that thou wast ordained to be a heavenly light to thy husband, amid the dreary twilight of age? |
41309 | Art thou very beautiful now? |
41309 | Art thou very happy? |
41309 | At length thou wilt pause, and say--"But what has_ thy_ life been?" |
41309 | Beloved, have not I been gone a great while? |
41309 | Belovedest, didst thou not bless this shower? |
41309 | Belovedest, how dost thou do this morning? |
41309 | Belovedest, how dost thou do? |
41309 | Belovedest, if thou findest it good to be there, why wilt thou not stay even a little longer than this week? |
41309 | Belovedest, is thy head quite well? |
41309 | But why didst thou look up in my face, as we walked, and ask why I was so grave? |
41309 | Can Sophie Hawthorne be prevailed upon to let me try it? |
41309 | Canst thou remotely imagine how glad I was? |
41309 | Dearest, art thou sure that thy delicatest brain has suffered no material harm? |
41309 | Dearest, have I brought the tears into your eyes? |
41309 | Dearest, how camest thou by the headache? |
41309 | Dearest, is your heart at peace now? |
41309 | Did we walk together in any such cold weather, last winter? |
41309 | Did you dream what an angelic guardianship was entrusted to you? |
41309 | Did you ever read such a foolish letter as this? |
41309 | Did you lead the vessel astray, my Dove? |
41309 | Did you not feel it? |
41309 | Did you not know, beloved, that I dreamed of you, as it seemed to me, all night long, after that last blissful meeting? |
41309 | Did you yield to my conjurations, and sleep well last night? |
41309 | Didst thou expect me sooner? |
41309 | Do know yourself by that name, dearest, and think of yourself as Sophie Hawthorne? |
41309 | Do not you long to see me? |
41309 | Do not you yearn to see me? |
41309 | Do you not fear, my wife, to trust me to live in such a way any longer? |
41309 | Do you not feel, dearest, that we live above time and apart from time, even while we seem to be in the midst of time? |
41309 | Do you remember how we were employed, or what our state of feeling was, at this time last year? |
41309 | Do you think the perverse little damsel would have vanished beneath my kiss? |
41309 | Do you wish to know how your husband will spend the day? |
41309 | Does Sophie Hawthorne keep up my Dove''s spirits? |
41309 | Does it not appear at least seven years to my Dove, since we parted? |
41309 | Does it seem a great while since I left you, dearest? |
41309 | Does not"I,"whether spoken by Sophie Hawthorne''s lips or mine, express the one spirit of myself and that darlingest Sophie Hawthorne? |
41309 | Does she still refuse my Dove''s proffer to kiss her cheek? |
41309 | Does the joy compensate for the pain? |
41309 | Does thine aunt say that thou lookest in magnificent health?--and that thou art very beautiful? |
41309 | Dost thou dwell in the past and in the future, so that the gloomy present is quite swallowed up in sunshine? |
41309 | Dost thou hoard it up, as misers do their treasure? |
41309 | Dost thou love him? |
41309 | Dost thou love me infinitely? |
41309 | Dost thou love me? |
41309 | Dost thou love me? |
41309 | Dost thou love pigeons in a pie? |
41309 | Dost thou not think she might be persuaded to withdraw herself, quietly, and take up her residence somewhere else? |
41309 | Dost thou not think that there is always some especial blessing granted us, when we are to be divided for any length of time? |
41309 | Dost thou not wonder at finding me scribbling between seven and eight o''clock in the morning? |
41309 | Dost thou sleep well now- a- nights, belovedest? |
41309 | Dost thou still love me, in all thy wanderings? |
41309 | Dost thou sympathise from the bottom of thy heart? |
41309 | Dost thou think it would? |
41309 | Dost thou wear a day- cap, as well as a night cap? |
41309 | For would not that imply that thou wouldst always hereafter be close to his bosom? |
41309 | Has my Dove contributed anything? |
41309 | Has my Dove flown abroad, this cold, bright day? |
41309 | Has not each of us a right to use the first person singular, when speaking in behalf of our united being? |
41309 | Hast thou also been gladdened by an uncouth scribbling, which thy husband dispatched to thee on Monday? |
41309 | Have there not, to say nothing of shorter visits, been two eternities of more than a week each, which were full of blessings for us? |
41309 | Have you been able to flit abroad on today''s east wind, and go to Marblehead, as you designed? |
41309 | How could you disappoint me so? |
41309 | How did you contrive to write it? |
41309 | How do I know it? |
41309 | How does Sophie Hawthorne do? |
41309 | How have you borne it, my poor dear little Dove? |
41309 | How is it that thou hast had no spiritual intelligence of my advent? |
41309 | How is it with thine, mine ownest? |
41309 | How long since didst thou begin to use spectacles? |
41309 | How many times have you thought of me today? |
41309 | How should I, save by my own heart? |
41309 | How was it, dearest? |
41309 | How would my Dove like to have her husband continually with her, twelve or fourteen months out of the next twenty? |
41309 | I kiss you, dearest-- did you feel it? |
41309 | I know not what else to say;--but even that is saying something-- is it not, dearest? |
41309 | I wish there was something in the intellectual world analogous to the Daguerrotype( is that the name of it?) |
41309 | Is it so with you? |
41309 | Is not that queer to think of? |
41309 | Is that impossible, my sweetest Dove?--is it impossible, my naughtiest Sophie Hawthorne? |
41309 | Is the wind east? |
41309 | Is there not a volume in many of our glances?--even in a pressure of the hand? |
41309 | Is thy hair grown gray? |
41309 | Is thy hair turned gray? |
41309 | Is thy weariness quite gone? |
41309 | Knowest thou any such art? |
41309 | Little Dove, why did you shed tears the other day, when you supposed that your husband thought you to blame for regretting the irrevocable past? |
41309 | May I go to sleep, belovedest? |
41309 | Might it not be so? |
41309 | Mine own Dove, need I fear it now? |
41309 | Mine own wife, art thou very well? |
41309 | Mine unspeakably ownest, dost thou love me a million of times as much as thou didst a week ago? |
41309 | Mr. Gannet delivered a lecture at the Lyceum here, the other evening, in which he introduced an enormous eulogium on whom dost thou think? |
41309 | My beloved, why should we be silent to one another-- why should our lips be silent-- any longer on this subject? |
41309 | My dearest, how canst thou say that I have ever written anything beautiful, being thyself so potent to reproduce whatever is loveliest? |
41309 | My dearest, was not that a sweet time-- that Sabbath afternoon and eve? |
41309 | My dearest, why didst thou not write to me, yesterday? |
41309 | My sweetest, dearest, purest, holiest, noblest, faithfullest wife, dost thou know what a loving husband thou hast? |
41309 | Naughtiest, why do you say that you have scarcely seen your husband, this winter? |
41309 | Naughty Sophie Hawthorne-- silly Dove-- will you let that foolish question bring tears into your eyes? |
41309 | Now, dearest, dost thou comprehend what thou hast done for me? |
41309 | October 11th-- ½ past 4 P.M. Did my Dove fly in with me in my chamber when I entered just now? |
41309 | Of what sort, then? |
41309 | Of whom dost thou dream? |
41309 | Oh, dearest, have[ not] the moments of our oneness been those in which we were most silent? |
41309 | Oh, naughtiest, why are you not here to welcome your husband when he comes in at eventide, chilled with his wintry day''s toil? |
41309 | Or is it merely the defect in my own eyes, which can not behold the spiritual? |
41309 | Or would his wife-- most preposterous idea!--deem it a sin against decorum to pay a visit to her husband? |
41309 | Ownest wife, what dost thou think I received, just before I re- commenced this scribble? |
41309 | Ownest, dost thou not long very earnestly to see thy husband? |
41309 | Shall I tell thee? |
41309 | Shall Sophie Hawthorne be there too? |
41309 | Should we be the more ethereal, if we did not eat? |
41309 | TO MISS PEABODY_ Boston_, February 7th, 1840--½ past 3 P.M._ Ownest Dove_, Can you reckon the ages that have elapsed since our last embrace? |
41309 | The Spring is not acquainted with my Dove and me, as the Winter was;--how then can we expect her to be kindly to us? |
41309 | Then is it not our home? |
41309 | Then which of us has gained the most? |
41309 | There are two pictures there by our friend( thy friend-- and is it not the same thing?) |
41309 | To what use canst thou put so much love as thou continually receivest from me? |
41309 | Was it Sophie Hawthorne or the Dove that called it so? |
41309 | Was it Thursday that I told my Dove would be the day of my next appearance?--or Friday? |
41309 | Was not this a sin against etiquette? |
41309 | Was such a rhapsody as the foregoing ever written in the Custom House before? |
41309 | Well, dearest, were ever such words as these written in a Custom- House before? |
41309 | Were you not my wife in some past eternity? |
41309 | Wert thou abroad in the sky and air? |
41309 | What beautiful white doves those were, on the border of the vase; are they of mine own Dove''s kindred? |
41309 | What do you think, Dearest, of the expediency of my making a caucus speech? |
41309 | What is signified[ by] my nap of a whole year? |
41309 | What is to be done? |
41309 | What is to be done? |
41309 | What or who could it have been that I so missed? |
41309 | What possible good can it do for me to thrust my coal- begrimed visage and salt- befrosted locks into good society? |
41309 | What thinks my Dove of this? |
41309 | When a beam of heavenly sunshine incorporates itself with a dark cloud, is not the cloud benefitted more than the sunshine? |
41309 | Which do I love the best, I wonder-- my Dove, or my little Wild- Flower? |
41309 | Which wouldst thou prefer? |
41309 | Why didst thou not scold me? |
41309 | Why dost thou not frown at my nonsensical complaints, and utterly refuse thy sympathy? |
41309 | Why has my Dove made me waste so much of my letter in this talk about nothing? |
41309 | Why will not people let your poor persecuted husband alone? |
41309 | Will kisses have any efficacy? |
41309 | Will my Dove expect a letter from me so soon? |
41309 | Will not my Dove confess that there is a little_ nonsense_ in this epistle? |
41309 | Will not this be right, and for the best? |
41309 | Will not you be glad when I come home to spend three whole days, that I was kept away from you for a few brief hours on Christmas eve? |
41309 | Will she abide it? |
41309 | Will she forgive me? |
41309 | Will she pardon the neglect? |
41309 | Will that satisfy her, do you think? |
41309 | Will you have the kindness to see that these valuable consignments arrive at their destination? |
41309 | Wilt thou again forgive him? |
41309 | Wilt thou know thy husband''s face, when we meet again? |
41309 | Wilt thou never be satisfied with making me love thee? |
41309 | Wilt thou promise not to be troubled, should thy husband be unable to appreciate the excellence of Father Taylor? |
41309 | Would not Sophie Hawthorne fight against it?--would not the Dove fold her wings, not in the quietude of bliss, but of despair? |
41309 | Wouldst thou not have been ashamed of him? |
41309 | Wouldst thou take it upon thyself, if possible? |
41309 | You love me dearly-- don''t you? |
41309 | and go with me wherever I went? |
41309 | ½ past 7 A.M.--Belovedest, art thou not going to be very happy to- day? |
41309 | ½ past 7 P.M._ Ownest Dove_; Did you get home safe and sound, and with a quiet and happy heart? |
12632 | ''What do you do there?'' 12632 ''You know something about Falstaff, eh?'' |
12632 | A wot, sir? |
12632 | And so,he said,"you read Charles Lamb in America?" |
12632 | Did the epigram still live in his memory? |
12632 | Did you read the article on your friend De Quincey in the last Westminster? 12632 Do you hear that, Mary?" |
12632 | Have I space to say that I am very truly yours? 12632 Have you any idea of any such person to whom you could recommend me? |
12632 | Have you ever read these novels? |
12632 | How did Guizot bear himself? 12632 How is that, sir?" |
12632 | How''s missis, sir? |
12632 | I am not a hard man, am I, Procter? |
12632 | Is not Whipple coming here soon? |
12632 | Miss me? 12632 Not a bad one, is it?" |
12632 | P.S.--Can you contrive to send Mr. Willis a copy of the prose book? 12632 Think of reading in America? |
12632 | Was it not yesterday we spoke together? |
12632 | Was n''t it good of him,said the old man, in his tremulous voice,"to think of_ me_ before he had been in town twenty- four hours?" |
12632 | Well, my son,says the fond mother, looking up from her knitting- work,"what have you got for us to- night? |
12632 | What are you doing in America? 12632 Who is your fat friend?" |
12632 | Who would risk publishing a book for_ me_, the most unpopular writer in America? |
12632 | _ Who_ is going to elope? |
12632 | ''What ages?'' |
12632 | ( Is that her real name?) |
12632 | After all,--unless one could be Shakespeare, which( clearly) is not an easy matter,--of what value is a little puff of smoke from a review? |
12632 | Ah, dear me, I suspect that both William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson will survive him; do n''t you? |
12632 | Ah, my very dear friend, how can I ever thank you? |
12632 | Am I to return Dr. Parsons''s? |
12632 | And do you think it would be worth while? |
12632 | And how do you like the undertaker? |
12632 | And if I should be gone, will you let poor K---- have one? |
12632 | And is he of any profession? |
12632 | And will you also give him the time and place for Gad''s? |
12632 | Are all people of black blood cruel, cowardly, and treacherous? |
12632 | Are you acquainted with him?'' |
12632 | Are you equal to two nights running of good time?" |
12632 | As I do n''t know Mr. Eytinge''s number in Guildford Street, will you kindly undertake to let him know that we are going out with the great Detective? |
12632 | As I rose to take leave he said,--"Have I ever given you one of Lamb''s letters to carry home to America?" |
12632 | B., how many?'' |
12632 | But what did he die of?" |
12632 | But what have I to do with politics, or you? |
