16321Another visitor? 16321 Anybody in your light, you think?
16321Are you sure they are flirting?
16321Because I disagree with her? 16321 But if he won''t-- I wonder whether I ever could have the brass to do it?
16321But not at once, surely?
16321But what I mean is, if a young lady likes a young gentleman pretty well, how is she going to find out for sure whether he likes her?
16321But what good would that do me? 16321 But what you goin''to do about it?"
16321But why?
16321But you surely do not intend to give up riding altogether?
16321Can you sketch and talk too?
16321Captain Farnham,she said,"when are you going to give that lawn- tennis party you promised so long ago?
16321Captain,he said, saluting Farnham,"vot I shall do mit dis schnide?"
16321Certainly-- what is it? 16321 Could I have a few moments''conversation with you, sir?"

16321Have you got them?
16321Have you heard the news?
16321Have you heered about Brother Bowersox?
16321Have you spoke to Mattie yet?
16321He evidently thinks nothing of it, and why should I?
16321He had not got away?
16321He is pretty well off, ai n''t he?
16321Here, behind your right elbow, where I can look over your shoulder and observe the work as it goes on?
16321How dare you?
16321How long have you known this?
16321How many of you do this?
16321How''d you get along at Farnham''s?
16321How''ll_ she_ like it?
16321I am sure Mr. Farnham will not object to taking care of you a little while; and if he has n''t the time, Fergus will bring you home-- hm, Fergus?
16321I suppose he may come in here?
16321I wanted to ask how you would like me as a son- in- law?
16321I wonder if father has sent him to me-- and how many more has he got in reserve there in the shop? 16321 I wonder whether I have mended matters?
16321I would n''t take no advantage of a friend; but if Sam''s got no chance, as you say, why should n''t I try? 16321 Is he dead?"
16321Is that all?
16321Keen savey?
16321Mamma,she asked,"did he say''Where is Alice?''
16321Mattie,he said one evening, when they happened to be alone together,"when are you and Sam going to make a match?"
16321NOW DO YOU REMEMBER?
16321Not this, sir?
16321Now may I ask you to do a very disagreeable thing? 16321 Now you are going to side against me, are you?
16321Now, look here,he pleaded,"you ai n''t a- going to take it that way, are you?
16321Now, what a foolish question that is I''d like to know who built his greenhouses, ef I did n''t?
16321Now, where shall I sit?
16321Now, who do you think is going to believe that?
16321Oh, Alice, what is this?
16321Oh, Alice,the poor lady whimpered,"why do you talk so wildly?
16321Oh, dear, no; how could you think so?
16321Oh, you did? 16321 Oh, you do?"
16321Say, Sam, you know Christy Fore, that hauls for the Safe Company? 16321 Say, mind your own business, wo n''t you?"
16321See here,roared Sam,"are you crazy or am I?
16321Shall I bring you back a Jinrickishaw?
16321Shall I not bring you the loot of a temple or two? 16321 Shall we go into the house?"
16321So glad to see you-- one sees so little of you-- I can hardly believe my good fortune-- how have I this honor?
16321So it''s all done, is it? 16321 So you''ve finished, have you?
16321Temple,he said,"how did you ever pick up this wine; and, if you will excuse the question, how did you know it when you got it?"
16321That elegant young fellow who leads germans? 16321 That''s very pretty talk, Mr. Offitt; but where is all this wealth to come from?"
16321The Indian women cook well, do they not?
16321They have caught him, then?
16321They have got the one I dropped from the window?
16321They have?
16321This is between us, ai n''t it?
16321Trying to catch flies?
16321Very well, Mr. Paul Pry, what was it?
16321Vot''s dish?
16321Well, I motion that we stop talkin''and commence doin''----"Do you suggest that a committee be appointed for that purpose?
16321Well, of all the owdacious villains ever I struck---- Who do you think it is?
16321Well, what do you want?
16321Well, what of it?
16321Well, what on earth are you doing here? 16321 Well, what''s the chance, and what would you do with it, ef you had it?"
16321Well, what''s the matter?
16321Well, what_ have_ you got to say?
16321Well, who''s got anything to say against my daughter?
16321Well, why?
16321Well, you are president of the Library Board, ai n''t you?
16321Were you wishing to see me about anything in particular?
16321What about the mill hands?
16321What are we, anyhow?
16321What are you doin''?
16321What becomes of this money?
16321What could Temple want to see me about''most particular''?
16321What did she say?

16321What did you want to see me about tonight?
16321What do you mean?
16321What do you want of our names?
16321What do you want?
16321What in the world is that-- but, no matter what it is-- tell me, are you really going so soon?
16321What is it?
16321What is it?
16321What is your special line of reform?
16321What of that?
16321What shall I do?
16321What shall I do?

16321What sort will you have?
16321What will become of that beautiful girl? 16321 What will it amount to?"
16321What will they do if the strike should last?
16321What would you like?
16321What young person?
16321What''s all this?
16321What''s the use of calling names? 16321 What, you are engaged?"
16321What?
16321Where d''you get it?
16321Where did he live?
16321Where have you been, anyhow?
16321Where was you ever in that business?
16321Where was you last night from ten to eleven?
16321Where''s the other one you was talking about?
16321Who has identified this money? 16321 Who is it?
16321Who was that?
16321Who would have thought,he mused,"that Sam had such a devil of a temper?
16321Who''s afraid of half a dozen cops?
16321Who?
16321Why are you carrying it around all day?
16321Why can you ask? 16321 Why did n''t he come in?"
16321Why did n''t you say so, then?
16321Why did n''t you stay out all night?
16321Why do n''t you go to the mayor?
16321Why is n''t this a good chance?
16321Why not all live together? 16321 Why not?
16321Why should I go back? 16321 Why should I not allow myself this indulgence?"
16321Why should that be? 16321 Why should you not give Miss Dallas herself an opportunity to decline the Tio Pepe?"
16321Why would you like that?
16321Why, Alice, what has got into you?
16321Why, Mattie, how''s your head?
16321Why, do n''t you understand me? 16321 Why, where are you going?"
16321Why, why, why did mamma tell me that horrid story? 16321 Wo n''t you go and take a walk by the Bluff?"
16321Yes, of course, but who knows it? 16321 Yes, yes,"she continued;"but have you any good news for me?"
16321You and your wife would like to board with us when you are married? 16321 You are not hurt, are you, mamma dear?"
16321You are quite sure you can do that?
16321You did decline, then?
16321You do love me, do you not?
16321You have not seen him since last night?
16321You know this is the genuine stuff, then?
16321You must have heard of my father, General Offitt, of Georgy? 16321 You think her really improved?"
16321You was, was you?
16321You''ll never tell?
16321You''ve been in Spain, have n''t you?
16321_ How_ do you know?
16321_ Mais, qu''est- ce que vous avez donc?_asked Euphrasia.
16321''Orders from where?''
16321''What''s that?''
16321A moment after, the same voice said,"Have you got him?"
16321A wild fancy assailed him for an instant-- was he killed in jumping from the window?
16321Aber, Herr Gott, was machen Sie denn damit?"
16321Above all, what could be done for her by a young and unmarried man?
16321An aggressive feeling of disapproval of young Furrey took possession of him, and he said, sharply:"What a very agreeable young man Mr. Furrey is?"
16321And I suppose you do n''t want to part with your last child-- now, do you?
16321And say, tell me, ai n''t there a back way out?
16321And who would the prettiest girl in Buffland prefer, you or the loafer?
16321And you intend to let Mr. Loafer have it all his own way?"
16321Any other fellow takin''your wind?"
16321Are you going home now?
16321Are you horse- thieves?"
16321Arthur, will you please light that burner nearest you?"
16321As he passed by the door of the shop, Saul hailed him and said with a smile,"What luck?"
16321As she went out, she said,"May I pick a flower as I go?"
16321Because she puts up her beauty for a higher bidder than any------""Now, shet up, will you?"
16321Belding?"
16321Bowersox turned to Offitt and said,"Why in---- did you let him go?
16321Budsey evidently regarded him with no favorable eye; he said to Sleeny,"This person says he comes from Matchin''s; do you know him?"
16321But he smiled to himself,"Why should I care for Sam''s reputation?"
16321But she had neither the dignity nor the training required for the occasion, and all the reply she found was:"Oh, Mr. Offitt, how can you say so?"
16321But she said,"You will stay till father comes, wo n''t you?"
16321But tell me, how is your club getting on?"
16321But what business is all this of mine?
16321But what can you do alone?
16321But what could be done for such a girl, so pretty, so uncultivated, so vulgarly fantastic?
16321But what do I know about men?
16321But what shall I do?
16321But where is the gate?"
16321Can you assist me in identifying them?"
16321Can you detail a few policemen to patrol Algonquin Avenue, in case of a serious disturbance?"
16321Captain Farnham, how shall I ever thank you?
16321Could it be possible-- and all that money-- where did it come from?
16321D''ye hear me?"
16321Did he say nothing but''Alice''?"
16321Did you ever see anything like it?"
16321Did you go and punish him for me-- tell me that?"
16321Did you notice just now?
16321Do they begin by saying,''Have you been very gay lately?''"
16321Do you hear me?
16321Do you hear me?
16321Do you not know?
16321Do you think they are strikin''a match?"
16321Does she pay you for her board?"
16321Farnham at this addressed the last speaker and said,"Can you tell me what all this means?
16321Farnham bowed, and rejoined:"My name is----"She laughed outright, and said:"I know well enough what your name is, or why should I have come here?
16321Farnham gave no indication of his surprise at this burst of candor, but asked:"What do you propose?"
16321Farnham gave way to the next comer, and said to Mr. Temple, who had pressed his hand in silence:"Did you want to see me for anything special to- day?"
16321Farnham picked up a small photograph from the table near him, and said:"Do you recognize this?"
16321Farnham thought he saw, and, after assenting to Pennybaker''s eager demand,"That''s all solid?"
16321Farnham turned to Alice, who was still standing, and said,"Alice, my own love, can you not give me one word of hope to carry with me?
16321Farnham was attacked and nearly murdered last night, and if you did n''t do it who did?
16321Farnham?"
16321Had Mattie given her word to this slab- sided, lanky fellow?
16321Had she given Sam Sleeny the mitten for him?
16321Had the shock deprived her of reason?
16321Have you any tools for me?"
16321Have you not sense enough to see how your ferocious attack on the witness damages you?
16321He cabled back,''What shall I pay?''
16321He exclaimed,"Why, who does she know that''s got money?"
16321He is entered for the races there, you know, and I did n''t want, by--------, to miss my engagements, understand?
16321He looks almost as if he were asleep, does he not?
16321He put many an extra stroke of fine work upon the servants''rooms he finished, thinking:"Who knows but my Mattie may live here sometime?"
16321He said,"Can you put an advertisement for me in your afternoon editions?"
16321He spoke out with quick and passionate earnestness:"Must I tell you then?
16321He stared at Offitt blankly, and said,"Why, what are you givin''me now?"
16321He stood before her without speaking, until she raised her eyes, and said sharply:"Well, Sam, what''s the matter?"
16321He waited until they were gone, and then said:"Bolty, have you two dozen repeating rifles?"
16321He was fingering at them when Sam seized him by the shoulder, and said:"Look here, Andy, what_ is_ your game, anyhow?
16321His look of exultation caused Saul to say,"All settled, eh?"
16321His voice sounded weak and distant as he said:"Now you will go with me, wo n''t you?"
16321How about them marks on the door and the ladder?
16321How can I breathe the same air with him, blushing like a peony whenever I think of him, and turning pale with shame when I hear his name?
16321How can I separate myself from you?"
16321How can a young lady find out whether a young gentleman is in love with her or not?
16321How did he dare know I was n''t nearsighted?
16321How do the young men amuse young ladies nowadays?
16321I ai n''t that kind; I j''ined to do somethin'';--what''s to be done?"
16321I wonder if she will go with me when I come tonight-- ready?
16321I wonder whether he would make me mind?
16321I wonder whether it is for herself or for some''Committee''?
16321I wonder who the lawyer is that does the indicting of people?"
16321I wonder whom she will care about here?
16321I would n''t stand no chance at all against you-- hum?"
16321I''ve got to speak it out, raw and plain, have I?
16321If I am not to be your wife, I must never see you again; you know that, do n''t you?"
16321If I lay the money at your feet, will you go with me?
16321If it''s a fair question, how do you make your livin''?"
16321Is it generally known in the city?"
16321Is it necessary?"
16321Is the fair one unkind?"
16321Is there a fire in the drawing- room?"
16321Is there any chance of getting one of those places?
16321It''s like breaking your heart- strings, now, ai n''t it?"
16321It''s up the spout, do you hear?"
16321Its query is, How does heart meet heart in mutual knowledge?"
16321Last night the drama of Algonquin Avenue was supplemented by the tragedy of Dean Street, and the public, aghast, demands''What next?''
16321Mattie, will you tell me good- by?"
16321May I ask a favor of you?"
16321My dear sir, why should that be?"
16321No chance for Sam?"
16321No?
16321Now, Sam was precisely of the breed described by his friend, but what man ever lived who knew he was altogether ordinary?
16321Now, gentlemen, is there anything I can do?"
16321One evening she said to her father:"Did you ever see Captain Farnham?"
16321One of them turned to me and insolently inquired,''Do you own this street, or have you just got a lien on it?''
16321Only----""Only what?"
16321Pennybaker repeated his question a little anxiously:"That''s all solid, ai n''t it?"
16321Pretty, was she?
16321Returning to the shadow by the house, Farnham''s first question was,"Is anybody hurt?"
16321She blushed and stammered, and then, rushing at it with desperation, she said:"That money-- where did you get it?"
16321She finished, with a loud nourish of merriment, and then asked:"Did you ever hear anything so funny in your life?"
16321She heard a timid rap at her door, and asked, sharply:"Who''s there?"
16321She kissed him and said gently,"Now do you remember?"
16321She lifted a bright glance through her tears and said, like a happy child to whom a new game has been proposed,"What shall we try?"
16321She said to herself,"How can I live, hating a man as I hate that Captain Farnham?
16321She stared at him an instant and said:"Where?"
16321Temple''s?"
16321That ugly creature who went up with Alice for the money-- you caught him?
16321That you, Sam?
16321That''s all solid, ai n''t it?"
16321The man handed him his ticket without any reply, but turned to a friend beside him, and said,"Who is that cheeky brother that knows me so well?"
16321The_ Bale- Fire_ began its leader with the impressive sentence:"Has a carnival of crime set in amongst us?
16321Then Arthur came and caught me by the shoulder, and almost shook me, and said,''Where is Alice?''
16321Then a loud voice said:"Hello, Andy, you asleep?"
16321Then she advanced with shy grace and took Arthur''s hand, and asked:"Do you begin to feel quite strong again?"
16321Then turning to Matchin, he said, with professional severity,"What door did he generally come in by?"
16321Then, striving desperately to add something more gracious, she stammered,"Mamma will be very----""Glad to see me in the drawing room?"
16321They are having lively times over there, are they not?"
16321They may all be-- but I did not think-- what business have I thinking about it?
16321To go with me to the Morgue and see the remains of what I am now sure is the real criminal?"
16321Was n''t it too perfectly ridiculous?"
16321Was this to be a mere afternoon call after all, with no combat and no victory?
16321What am I to do about that, I should like to know?"
16321What business is it of yours, anyway?"
16321What can I do for you?"
16321What do you mean?"
16321What do you think of that?"
16321What do you want of him?
16321What does it lack?"
16321What is it you want, and how can I be of service to you?"
16321What is there about Bowersox?"
16321What shall I do if he never speaks to me again?"
16321What shall I do?"
16321What was the occasion of this assault?"
16321What would you think of a thousand dollars a month?"
16321What''s up?"
16321What_ does_ a man want,"she asked, with her head thrown back and her nostrils dilated,"when he do n''t want me?"
16321When Mrs. Matchin was asked, after that ceremony,"Who she was named for?"
16321When did I see you last?"
16321When he attacked her one day with the brusque exclamation,"Well, Mattie, what''s all this blame foolishness your ma''s being tellin''me?"
16321When he had concluded he was shown the hammer which had been picked up on the floor at Farnham''s, and was asked,"Is that the hammer you refer to?"
16321Where can her eyes be?
16321Where can the---- thing be?
16321Where do women keep their eyes?
16321Where is he, by the way?"
16321Where the devil is it?"
16321Where''s Bott?
16321Where''s Sam?"
16321Who can answer for this young lady?
16321Who is it?"
16321Who is the best man,"he asked, with honest frankness,"you, or some high- steppin''snob whose daddy has left him the means to be a loafer all his days?
16321Who is the man who shall ever kiss her between those straight brows?
16321Why are you in such a terrible hurry?"
16321Why can not you wait a while?"
16321Why do n''t you come in?"
16321Why do n''t you see?"
16321Why should he put me down that way?
16321Why?"
16321Will you give it your approval?"
16321Will you go?"
16321Will you join her now?"
16321You see?"
16321You surely do not intend----""To strike Saul for a divvy?
16321You think it''s horrid that I should say so, do n''t you?
16321You thought I meant_ you?_"Bott went out of the door like a whipped hound, with pale face and hanging head.
16321You''re not one of the common kind of cattle that think of nothin''but their fodder and stall-- are you?"
16321and you, Mr. Temple?
16321answered Maud, negligently,"you heard everything, did you?
16321he asked,--"spelling, or civil service?"
16321he began, with a jolly facetiousness,"what''s your noble game this evenin''?
16321is that you?
16321said Farnham, as they seated themselves,"how long has it taken you to grow to that stature?
16321said the widow:"why are you not at home?
16321that''s his window, ai n''t it?"
16321why did I not think of that?
5797''Bout over, hain''t it, from all I hear tell?
5797A month?
5797A week?
5797Afraid?
5797All the men, or just the steel workers and bricklayers and temporary employees on the new buildings?
5797Alone? 5797 Always?"
5797And hers?
5797And who be you, if I might ask?
5797And will you smile for me?
5797And you wo n''t... remember ANYTHING?
5797And you''ll be good to me?... 5797 And you... want me back?
5797And you?
5797And your father would n''t have it-- and threw you out... or did the thing that stands to him for throwing out?
5797Any relatives or friends?
5797Appears like you know a heap about him.... Maybe you know what he''s doin''now?
5797Are n''t you going a bit fast for a comparative stranger?
5797Are we going away?
5797Are you, by chance, a socialist?
5797Are you-- ill?
5797Axles?
5797Bargain?
5797Bonbright, if you find her-- what?
5797Bonbright,said Hilda,"do you believe me now?"
5797Bonbright?
5797Bonbright?
5797But are n''t you?
5797But ca n''t there ever be an understanding? 5797 But what''s this girl got to do with it?"
5797But who is she?
5797But you would n''t now?
5797Can I send a message?
5797Can it be made to work? 5797 Can you lend me Mershon for a while?"
5797Childless? 5797 DISAPPEARED?"
5797Did my mother sell her soul for luxuries? 5797 Did n''t I tell you to bring some?
5797Did n''t she leave any address?
5797Did n''t you bring no lunch?
5797Did you think she was?
5797Do I understand that you are offering me the chance to work with you on this experiment?
5797Do n''t I know it? 5797 Do n''t you love me?"
5797Do n''t you see,she said,"how impossible it is?
5797Do you class men with machinery?
5797Do you fancy I shall permit such a thing? 5797 Do you know there''s to be a mass meeting in the armory to- night?
5797Do you know where she is?
5797Do you know,he said, presently,"what a lot girls have to do with making a fellow''s life endurable?...
5797Do you know?... 5797 Do you like it?"
5797Do you mean you do n''t know where Ruth is?
5797Do you mean, mother,said Bonbright, his voice curiously quiet and calm,"that you would not receive my wife here?"
5797Do you really... WANT me?
5797Do you suppose I should tolerate her? 5797 Do you want to live with him?"
5797Does he think that? 5797 Does he-- seem cheerful?"
5797Does it recognize the unions?
5797Does n''t she?
5797Does that mean common labor?
5797Dulac,said Bonbright, in a voice that was low but steady,"is she well and-- happy?"
5797Dulac,said Bonbright, leaning forward as though drawn by spasmodic contraction of tense muscles,"is this true?"
5797Eh?
5797Eh?...
5797Engaged to- night-- and you''re going to marry to- morrow?
5797Ever hear the name of Frazer?
5797Ever run a lathe or a shaper or a planer?
5797Everybody?...
5797For the land sakes, WHAT''S HE got to do with this? 5797 For what?"
5797For you? 5797 Forced him to work on an unsafe machine or quit?"
5797Friend of your''n?
5797Friends give him a soft job?
5797Give back affection?... 5797 Goin''to work in them clothes?"
5797HE''S-- giving it to-- them?
5797HIM?
5797Have I got to get ready?
5797Have the ancestors been after you?
5797Have you got any trace?
5797Have you no respect for your family name?... 5797 He deserved it.... And you-- have you anything to say?
5797He''s good-- and gentle-- but if he makes up his mind-- If he had n''t been that way do you think he could have lived with me the way he HAS?
5797Here now--she spoke sharply--"you know who I be, do n''t you?"
5797His name is Dulac?
5797Hopes?
5797How about this construction work?
5797How can I go?
5797How do we know you''ll do it?
5797How would you like it if the unexpected-- chance-- had been carefully weeded out of your future?... 5797 How''s his wife?
5797How?
5797How?
5797Hungry?
5797I am sorry-- for all this.... May I come for-- your answer to- morrow?
5797I do n''t despise folks, as a rule.... Want to talk now?
5797I do n''t know why I said that.... Will you take some letters, please?
5797I do n''t know.... Why must I do something? 5797 I know you.... What do you want here?"
5797I may?
5797I see..."And you wo n''t be unhappy about it?
5797I shall want to ask you about it.... Perhaps you even know the man who is speaking?
5797I state your position?
5797I think that is all, gentlemen.... You understand my son''s position, I believe, so that if anyone questions you can answer him effectively?
5797I want the men to be able to do the best that''s in them.... You understand?
5797I wonder-- if he did-- it-- for me?
5797I''ll never... run away any more... will I?
5797I''m going to be married to- morrow--"What?
5797I''ve given them what is theirs fairly.... Have you found any trace of her?
5797I''ve got to think about something else....But his will was unequal to the performance...."Where is she?...
5797I-- loved him... and I did n''t know it.... That was-- queer-- wasn''t it?... 5797 I?"
5797If I demanded that you give up your work, abandon the Cause, would you do it for me?
5797If he does n''t?
5797If one of you has a grievance, what can he do?... 5797 If they must strike and cut off their earnings every so often, why do n''t they lay up savings to carry them through?"
5797If you could bring about the things I can-- the good for so many-- would you hesitate? 5797 Is he real, too?"
5797Is it her?
5797Is it on the level? 5797 Is it true?"
5797Is it true?
5797Is n''t it funny?
5797Is n''t it possible to keep on testing a piece of metal till it''s all used up?
5797Is she hidin''away?
5797Is that all?
5797Is that final, mother?... 5797 Is that there your auto?"
5797Is this the sort of thing she meant? 5797 Is this thing done often-- settling these things for-- what we can squeeze them down to?"
5797Is this true?
5797Is your proposition to manufacture ten thousand engines still open?
5797Is-- is that the TRUTH?
5797It hit you, eh?
5797It''s true?... 5797 Malcolm Lightener, the automobile feller?"
5797May I take him along, Lieutenant? 5797 Maybe you''d rather telephone yourself?"
5797Mr. Dulac,he said,"have you found her?"
5797Mr. Foote in?
5797Mr. Foote,she said, gently,"something has happened to you, has n''t it?
5797My name WAS signed to it, was n''t it?... 5797 My placard?"
5797New man?
5797No chaperons?
5797No,he said,"of course not.... Why should you?
5797No-- trimmings? 5797 No.... No....""Then what are you making all the fuss about?
5797No.... Why does he ask me? 5797 No....""What about me?...
5797Not a gentleman, eh?... 5797 Not that automobile man''s daughter-- the one they call the automobile king?"
5797Nothing?... 5797 Now,"he said when they were alone,"what''s to pay?"
5797Open shop?
5797Overalls?
5797Queer notions?
5797Rather bad-- how, Bonbright?
5797Really?
5797Resentment?
5797Right?... 5797 Rushing in where angels fear to tread, you mean?
5797Ruth Foote,said Hilda,"what''s the matter?...
5797Ruth,he said,"what do you mean?
5797Ruth,she called,"it''s Hilda.... May I come in now?"
5797Say,said Mrs. Moody, in a fever of curiosity which could not be held in check after they had passed outside of Ruth''s room,"who is she, anyhow?...
5797Say,said Mrs. Moody, suddenly awakening to the possibilities of Ruth''s mood,"who was your husband, anyhow?"
5797Scare you? 5797 Seated?
5797Shall I drag along a bishop or will an ordinary minister do?
5797Shall I go?... 5797 Shall I select one for you?"
5797She was going to you.... And then I came and told her your father was dead.... That made it all impossible, do n''t you see?... 5797 Some one I know?"
5797Son,he said, coldly,"you have n''t been picking up any queer notions in college?"
5797Sorry?... 5797 Sorry?...
5797Speakin''perty well of yourself, was n''t you?
5797Squabbling?
5797Strikers get you?
5797Suppose?
5797That girl?...
5797That was it?... 5797 That was why, was n''t it?
5797That young cub?
5797That''s good business, is n''t it?
5797That, I fear, was to have been anticipated.... Have you the particulars?
5797The man wo n''t be able to work again?
5797The men think I may be their friend?
5797The plan is practically complete, is n''t it?
5797Then what the devil did you stay here all night for? 5797 There are plenty of places--""Who fired you?"
5797There is a qualification?
5797They feed at the hash house across the street.... Hain''t broke, be you?
5797They turned you out?
5797To stay?
5797To- day?
5797To- morrow morning? 5797 To- morrow?
5797Trouble?
5797Trust him?
5797Two- seventy- five a day.... And now.... How''ll we live, with him in the hospital and maybe never able to work again?
5797Um.... Any corrections, amendments, or substitutions to offer?
5797Unionize?
5797Urn.... Strikin'', eh?
5797Very well, then.... Will you see to it? 5797 WHAT?"
5797WHAT?
5797Was that all?
5797We have n''t had a decent talk, and there are a heap of things to talk about, are n''t there?
5797We sha''n''t let it interfere with our evening.... Come, Miss Frazer, where shall we lunch?
5797We''re going to run it, dad.... Don''t you like Ruth Frazer?
5797Well, Bonbright?
5797Well, he did n''t hurt you, did he?
5797Well, young fellow?
5797Well,said Bonbright,"ca n''t you?"
5797Well-- could they?
5797Well?
5797Well?
5797Well?
5797Were n''t you a stenographer in the office where dad worked?
5797What ARE you going to do, then? 5797 What about him?...
5797What ails you now? 5797 What ails you?"
5797What answer could you give but one? 5797 What are you going to do about it?"
5797What are your theories?
5797What can I do?... 5797 What did YOU think?"
5797What did you say?
5797What did you want to see me about?
5797What do you know about this girl? 5797 What do you mean by coming here?
5797What do you want with her?... 5797 What does he want here?"
5797What has happened?
5797What if Bonbright did see you together? 5797 What is it to be?"
5797What is it? 5797 What is it?"
5797What is it?
5797What is it?
5797What is it?
5797What is this cub to you? 5797 What is this man-- this speaker-- trying to do?
5797What kind of a job can you give him, dad?
5797What of it? 5797 What they printed was in substance true?"
5797What you want?
5797What''s dad been doing to you?
5797What''s he going to do now?
5797What''s that you said?
5797What''s the good, dad? 5797 What''s the idea of putting up the boy as stalking horse?
5797What''s the matter, dad?
5797What''s this I hear now? 5797 What''s this about Malcolm Lightener?"
5797What''s wanted?
5797What''s your friend''s name? 5797 What''s your name?"
5797What-- have I-- got to do-- with it?
5797What-- what do you mean?
5797What? 5797 What?"
5797What?
5797When did you see him last?
5797When they go to climb back why do n''t you buck some more? 5797 When?...
5797Where are you going to live? 5797 Where are you going?"
5797Where do we eat?
5797Where have you been? 5797 Where is he now?"
5797Where you been workin''?
5797Where you goin''?
5797Where''s Hammil?
5797Where''s Hilda?
5797Where''s your overalls?
5797Where?
5797Who do you belong to?
5797Who was good?
5797Who wo n''t come back, dear?
5797Why ca n''t you let me alone?
5797Why did n''t you answer?
5797Why do n''t you answer?
5797Why do you always sit there watching folks go by?
5797Why not?
5797Why should you?
5797Why, Rangar,said Mr. Foote,"what''s wrong?"
5797Why, he-- If he thought that--"If he thought that-- what?
5797Why?
5797Why?
5797Why?
5797Will there be trouble? 5797 Will you come in?"
5797Will you stop it? 5797 Will you take the place?
5797Will your father raise the devil? 5797 Wo n''t the automobile manufacturers see that, too?"
5797Wo n''t the men have all their power and wealth to fight?
5797Wo n''t you be seated?
5797Wonder when it''ll peter out-- the strike?
5797Would it be-- impertinent,he asked,"to inquire what you said?"
5797YOU know-- don''t you, Hilda?... 5797 Yes,"he said,"this is Bonbright Foote.... Who is it?
5797Yes... Do n''t you remember? 5797 Yes... What is it?...
5797Yes?
5797You believe in it?
5797You do n''t mind being poor for a while?
5797You have n''t been scaring this little girl? 5797 You have-- thought about me?"
5797You love me-- you have n''t lied to me?
5797You mean REALLY?... You mean we''ll LIVE like that? 5797 You mean it, Ruth?"
5797You mean that my son-- a Foote-- could fall in love, as you call it, with the daughter of a boarding house and a companion of anarchists?
5797You mean that this man Hammil was hurt through our fault?
5797You mean you do not care to come back here?
5797You mean--?
5797You talked to him?
5797You think they''ll strike?
5797You thought she was with me?
5797You want me? 5797 You wanted to see me?"
5797You were n''t afraid of him?
5797You wo n''t recognize any union? 5797 You would n''t have MADE me marry him, would you?"
5797You''d better be.... Where you going to- night?
5797You''ll come, wo n''t you, Ruth-- now?
5797You''ll-- keep me CLOSE?
5797You''re defending him? 5797 You''re not going up there, are you?"
5797You''re not-- offended?
5797You''re sure Bonbright wo n''t come back?
5797You''ve found-- HER?
5797You-- didn''t want to go away with him?
5797Young man,growled Lightener,"why could n''t you have fallen in love with my daughter and saved all this fracas?"
5797Young man,he said, gruffly,"what''s this I hear?"
5797Your idea is that we could settle for less than a jury would give him?
5797... She saw you were the kind of man a woman could twist around her finger-- and you owned five thousand men.... Get the idea?...
5797Able to go ahead to- day?"
5797And I should make it my business to see that she was received nowhere else.... And what would become of you?
5797And what then?...
5797Anybody home?"
5797Are n''t you the greatest man in the world?"
5797Are you going to recognize the unions?"
5797Are you sure it is your final decision?"
5797Are you sure you were right?"
5797Are you sure, Bonbright?"
5797Are you sure?"
5797As if there was something that compelled me to stick by the Family....""How long have you been going to marry this girl?"
5797As, for instance:"Why do n''t you move that leather chair out of the other bedroom?"
5797Been under a bit of a strain?...
5797Bonbright?"
5797Boy, go to Mr. Foote''s locker and fetch his things....""Am-- am I discharged?"
5797But how about this girl, Hilda, does she belong?"
5797But how much of the final cost of its axles does raw material represent?
5797But she had hoped to do something... What was it she had done?
5797But what had happened?
5797But would they cast him out?
5797But-- but my idea was that maybe we could-- have our courtship now-- after we are married.... Mayn''t we?"
5797Ca n''t it be right away?"
5797Ca n''t the dishes wait?"
5797Ca n''t you see how-- hurt he is?
5797Ca n''t you see?..."
5797Can it be then?"
5797Capital is organized against you.... How can you hope to defend yourselves?
5797Clear?"
5797Could it mean...?
5797Could money buy that?
5797Did n''t you give yourself to me?
5797Did n''t you notice the name?"
5797Did she love Bonbright?
5797Did she love?...
5797Did you go somewhere with him in his car last night?"
5797Did you stop to think what effect this thing would have on other manufacturers?"
5797Did your mother sell her soul for them?...
5797Do I make myself clear?...
5797Do n''t you see?
5797Do n''t you see?
5797Do n''t you suppose Bonbright thinks you are seeing him?
5797Do n''t you think he''ll find out you do n''t love him-- how you feel when he comes near you?
5797Do n''t you understand?...
5797Do you imagine for an instant that I shall permit you to give me a daughter- in- law out of a cheap boarding house?
5797Do you imagine you can act and think as an entity distinct from Bonbright Foote, Incorporated?...
5797Do you know what you''ve done with your bullheadedness?
5797Do you suppose I should admit her to this house?
5797Do you suppose your friends-- people of your own class-- would receive her-- or you?"
5797Do you think I shall submit to an affront like that?...
5797Do you think so?"
5797Do you understand?...
5797Does n''t half a million a year extra profit make you think of anything?"
5797Does that set comfortably on your mind?"
5797Does that sound easy?
5797Eh?"
5797Enough to let him play around with my daughter.... Has he anything to do with the way you look to- day?...
5797Ever see him?"
5797Expect to find the Harvard manner in a man preaching riot from a potato barrel?...
5797Fair?"
5797First we know we''ll have her down on her back.... And then what?...
5797Foote?"
5797Foote?"
5797Foote?"
5797Foote?"
5797Foote?"
5797Get me?"
5797Got a friend of mine here?"
5797Got any idea what will happen?"
5797Got any money?"
5797Had the matter gone farther than the mere thrashing he had hoped for?...
5797Hain''t she somebody?"
5797Hain''t you listenin''at all?"
5797Have the wives of all the men who have worked and suffered and been trampled on for the Cause sold their souls?...
5797Have you any ideas?"
5797Have you got anybody?"
5797Have you had her looked up?"
5797Hawthorne?"
5797He NEVER knew it....""She''s clean out of her head,"said Mrs. Moody, irritably,"and what''ll I do?
5797He had never seen a woman cry so before.... Did girls always act this way when they became engaged?
5797He had none of her love, and she believed this man had it wholly.... She had wronged Bonbright all she could wrong him-- what would this matter?
5797He had to work on it or lose his job....""I know that NOW, Mrs. Hammil.... What was he earning?"
5797He must be shown that he could not, with impunity, outrage the Family Tradition and flout the Family Ghosts.... Again-- how?
5797He said the family was extinct?"
5797He sure got his son in bad.... What''s this I hear about him marryin''some girl and gettin''kicked out?"
5797He turned away, then said, suddenly, over his shoulder,"Got any bombs in your desk?"
5797He would think I came-- because his father was dead-- because he-- he was what I thought he was when I married him.... Do n''t you see?
5797Hear me?
5797Hilda leaned forward again and whispered to Bonbright,"You''re not getting much enlightenment, are you?"
5797His thought, unspoken, was,"If we''ve got so blamed much, what''s the use piling it up?"
5797How are they getting along?"
5797How can you force a betterment of your conditions, of your wage?...
5797How could he know as well as you do?
5797How did HE affect you?"
5797How do you know?
5797How long do you suppose she would stay with you?...
5797How was Bonbright to answer?
5797How was he to get his liberty?
5797How were we to know something had n''t happened to you-- with the strike going on?"
5797How''s he expect this room to make a showing if it''s goin''to be charged with guys like you that hain''t nothin''but an expense?"
5797How, then, is she to recognize it?
5797I can wait... when waiting will bring me so much.... At twelve o''clock?
5797I could n''t bear it...""Was it him or his father you was in love with?"
5797I did n''t have ANYTHING to do with it... Do you know what he''s done?"
5797I did not run to the police to have them charge the strikers again... Why should I?"
5797I had n''t, had I?"
5797I have n''t heard of your falling down any place yet.... Know what I told your father?
5797I held my work up to the window to see, and the van was a little darker....""Was n''t there a name on it?
5797I know you do n''t want to, and-- and all that, but you''ll come, wo n''t you?"
5797I love you, do n''t I?
5797I may live ten years or twenty years-- but I shall live them in such comfort as I can obtain.... Is there anything else you wish to talk to me about?"
5797I mean the placard, and bringing in O''Hagan and his strike breakers, and taking all these ruthless methods to break the strike?...
5797I state your sentiments, do I not, my son?"
5797I understand you leave it with me?"
5797I will come to- morrow morning?
5797I wonder if you ca n''t help me somehow?"
5797I''d set you to sweeping out the machine shops if I thought you needed it.... Maybe you figured on sitting at a mahogany desk?"
5797I''ll fix it with the judge if necessary.... And say, happen to recognize him?"
5797I''ll pick out the best place in the world, if I can find it, and you wo n''t know where we''re going till we get there.... Wo n''t that be bully?...
5797I''m his wife-- his wife.... Oh, what have you done?...
5797I''ve got to know what''s happened....""Are you going to tell her you love her-- and take her back?"
5797I-- I hate myself.... You''ll do THAT?...
5797If ALL of you have a grievance, what can you do?
5797If I loved him...."Presently she spoke aloud:"You wo n''t be angry with me, Hilda?...
5797If I tell him-- everything?"
5797If her father had given his life, would he not expect his daughter to give HER life?
5797If she could make Dulac stronger to carry on his work for social revolution, had she a right to withhold herself?...
5797If she did, where are they?
5797If she were his wife-- if her word might become his law-- how would those laboring men be affected?
5797If the guard made HIM bristle with rage, how would the sight of the man and his club affect the strikers?
5797If you''re sick what are you doing here?
5797Ill?
5797In the next room?"
5797Is n''t that enough for now?...
5797Is n''t that it, Bonbright?"
5797Is n''t that-- queer?...
5797Is n''t there... something you... ought to say?"
5797Is there anything you would n''t do to give THEM what I can give?...
5797Is this infernal newspaper story true?"
5797Is this sort of thing being taught in college to- day?
5797It can be done, can it not?"
5797It has n''t been worrying you like this?
5797It hit you hard, eh?"
5797It must n''t be....""Why-- what is it?
5797It was an unusual request in unusual circumstances, but why not?
5797It was possible-- possible.... And if it were possible, if she could accomplish this great thing for the Cause, dared she avoid it?
5797It was something about Bonbright... What was it?
5797It was something else... You wo n''t feel too bad... will you?"
5797It was too late-- THEN, was n''t it?"
5797It would look-- oh, why could n''t his father have made a will, as he was going to?...
5797It''s all over?"
5797It''s mean.... Why do n''t you take him into the office?"
5797It''s true?"
5797KISS me?"
5797Know him well?
5797LIKE HIM?"
5797Liaison?"
5797Like it here?"
5797Like the looks of it?"
5797Little, was she?
5797Man or woman?"
5797May I come?"
5797Moody?"
5797Must I cross- examine you as if you were a sulking schoolboy?"
5797My world would n''t have you, and your world would n''t have me.... Do n''t you see?"
5797Never own-- that-- business?"
5797Noon TO- MORROW?"
5797Not the-- ah-- ripe-- rounded type to attract a boy?
5797Now be honest, have you?"
5797Now she could give-- herself.... She could sacrifice herself, she could pass by her love-- but would it avail anything?...
5797Now that the job for you is settled--""Eh?"
5797Now, was n''t that name Walters?
5797Of course he would.... Then why should he not marry Hilda?
5797Or do you think yours will take me in hand?"
5797Ought I to quit, too-- to join the strike?"
5797Please, now that I''m here, wo n''t you get in?"
5797Presently he leaned forward and addressed a question to her:"Did you and Mr. Dulac mention me as you walked home?"
5797Presently he said:"Rangar told you you were to be my secretary?"
5797Presently she interrupted, weakly:"Who-- who is it-- about?"
5797Put your... lips close to my ear... like that... now tell me..."I think I''ll... sleep a little now... You wo n''t run away-- while my eyes are shut?"
5797Quit it, will you?"
5797Rangar?..."
5797Regular crush I''ll have on you.... What do you think?"
5797S''pose she was to be took sudden?
5797Say, was that breakfast all right?
5797Say?"
5797See?...
5797Shall I come again to- morrow?"
5797She did n''t tell even me, but I ought to have known....""And you have n''t even a trace?"
5797She heard-- but what did it matter?
5797She was interrupted in the transcription of a letter by a stern voice behind her, saying:"You''re young Foote''s anarchist, are n''t you?"
5797She''s so little.... What made her go away?...
5797Small-- was she not?
5797So far as the finer, the sweeter affairs of parenthood went, Bonbright had been, and was, an orphan...."Have you nothing to say?"
5797Something happened, did n''t it?"
5797Something has happened to her....""Have n''t you had any word-- anything?"
5797Something that has made you feel bitter and discouraged?"
5797Sort of excited, eh?
5797Sort of peaked and thin?"
5797Stir up a riot?"
5797Stop it, I tell you''... What''s the matter-- anyhow?
5797Suppose we just do n''t bother about it?
5797Suppose, in short, I should find it necessary to do as other fathers have done-- to disown you... What then?
5797THAT''S settled, is it?
5797That we wo n''t be married, but do like you said?"
5797That''s best, is n''t it?"
5797That''s it, is n''t it?"
5797That''s what I came to find out.... Are you going to stand it?"
5797That''s what I hire you for, is n''t it?"
5797That''s why we ca n''t go away....""You mean,"she said, dully, trying to sense this calamity,"that you will never go back?
5797The boy must be made into what he ought to be-- but how?
5797The men had experienced it; had felt the weight of Bonbright''s ruthless hand.... How could he make them believe it was not his hand?
5797The rest of that day, and of the days that followed it, Bonbright was trying to find the answer to the question, What does this mean to me?
5797Then:"Ca n''t you let him know?...
5797There is no reason why affairs may not go on for a couple of days as they are-- as if father were alive?"
5797There''s no need to wait, is there?
5797Think you can?"
5797This fellow you''ve married does n''t know what love is.... What does he know about it?
5797To do so would mean-- what would it mean?
5797To make it your life work to keep out of my way?"
5797To what else could his words be tending?
5797Understand?"
5797Understand?"
5797Unrest grappled with him blindly, urging him nowhere, seeming merely to wrestle with him aimlessly and maliciously... What was it all about, anyhow?
5797Upset labor conditions in this town so that business will go to smash?
5797Wants to smash hell out of the men just to see them smash.... How''d he strike you?"
5797Was THAT why you married me?
5797Was he-- could he be about to ask her to share his life?
5797Was her feeling toward Dulac merely hero worship?
5797Was her life to be filled with such ironies--?
5797Was it not a holy duty?
5797Was it the usual thing, or was something wrong with Ruth?
5797Was n''t I before HIM?...
5797Was she forever to eat of Dead Sea fruit?
5797Was this question coming up so quickly?
5797We can go back in an hour.... Shall we walk down now?
5797Wealth, position, family?
5797Well, then?
5797Well, well, what did he say?
5797Were you expecting him?"
5797Were you made to APPEAR as though it was you-- when it was n''t?"
5797Were you with Bonbright last night?"
5797What SHOULD she do?
5797What about me?..."
5797What about the unions?"
5797What am I to you but a girl, an incident?
5797What are you doing here-- with him?"
5797What are you trying to do?
5797What are you, then?"
5797What could a man do with five dollars a day?
5797What could his friendship do for them?
5797What could you do?
5797What d''you think about it?"
5797What did he-- do?"
5797What did it mean?
5797What do YOU know about it?
5797What do you care?...
5797What do you expect to get by hiding behind him?"
5797What do you think, mother?"
5797What do you want?"
5797What does Bon want us to do?"
5797What does that mean, do you suppose?"
5797What does your pledged word count for in a case like this?...
5797What else would he think?
5797What gives the axles the rest of their value?...
5797What good could it do?
5797What happened?"
5797What has your world or mine to do with it?
5797What idiocy are you up to?
5797What in goodness name have YOU got to do with it?
5797What is it they resent?"
5797What more can you want than you have and will have?
5797What more could she ask of him?
5797What other thing could do what it will do?
5797What right had a man in Foote''s position to stand in her thoughts beside Dulac?
5797What should she say?....
5797What sort of girl is she?...
5797What to do now?
5797What was to be done with this situation?...
5797What was to become of Bonbright Foote, Incorporated, with no heir to hand the business over to when his hands could drop it?
5797What work had his father and grandfather and great- grandfather performed when their positions were his position to- day?...
5797What work had it been the custom for the heir apparent to perform?
5797What would he do for you?..."
5797What would the authorities do with him?
5797What would your individuality be worth?...
5797What you cryin''about?
5797What''ll I do, and her most likely without a cent and all that?...
5797What''s happened NOW?"
5797What''s he got to do with this?"
5797What''s he know about it?...
5797What''s the idea?"
5797What''s the matter with the job you''ve got?"
5797What''s the matter?
5797What''s the matter?"
5797What, she wondered, could this boy''s father have done to him now?
5797What?"
5797When the word came into her mind she knew it was the one she had been searching for.... Why was he so grim?
5797Where did you get it?
5797Where else would he go?"
5797Where is she?.."
5797Where is there nonsense in that?"
5797Where would you be?"
5797Where would you like to go, Ruth?"
5797Where''s Bonbright?...
5797Where''s Dulac?"
5797Wherever did she get them?...
5797Who are you talking about?"
5797Who is going to run it while you learn?"
5797Who''d we notify?"
5797Who?...
5797Why ca n''t I just wait-- and let him do what-- whatever is done?"
5797Why can an army beat a mob of double its numbers?
5797Why could not he be left alone in quiet?
5797Why did n''t you go and git sick somewheres else?
5797Why did n''t you have him notified last night?
5797Why did she like it there?
5797Why did you stay away like this, without giving us any word?"
5797Why do n''t you walk out of this place and never enter it again?..."
5797Why do n''t you, I wonder?"
5797Why do you endure it?
5797Why should others hate him?
5797Why should the class he belonged to be hated with this blighting virulence by the class they employed?...
5797Why should this man hate him?
5797Why was he mixed up in the struggle?
5797Why?"
5797Why?"
5797Will you help me find her?"
5797Will you see to it?"
5797Will you?"
5797Wind up this business?
5797Wo n''t capital ever understand labor, or labor capital?"
5797Wo n''t you let me?..."
5797Would her word be his law with respect to them?...
5797Would she approve of doing this?"
5797Would the thing become public?
5797Would you be willing?"
5797Yes, dad''s more direct than diplomatic, and I inherit it.... Is it a bargain?"
5797Yet what else could he mean?
5797You believe me?"
5797You could n''t?...
5797You do belong to me.... Why should you stick to him?
5797You do n''t mean-- TO- MORROW?"
5797You do, do n''t you?"
5797You had made up your mind never to be caught like this again, had n''t you?
5797You know Lightener?"
5797You know why I''ve come?"
5797You say that girl-- the one who grinned-- is competent?"
5797You understand?
5797You want your friends to know her and receive her, do n''t you?
5797You wo n''t misunderstand, but-- but wo n''t you please-- go away?...
5797You work for me, do n''t you-- and ai n''t I responsible for you, sort of?
5797You''d be.... And we ca n''t sit by and see Bon and his wife STARVE, can we?
5797You''ll be in a devil of a pickle, wo n''t you?"
5797You''ll be patient with me, and gentle?
5797You''ll have to give it up, and then what?
5797You''ll... believe me, wo n''t you?"
5797You''re getting NOTHING.... Are you going to stand it?
5797You''re going to bull this thing through?"
5797You''re mine-- you were mine first.... What is he to you?
5797You''re not serious, Ruth?...
5797You''re striking at them through their wives and babies.... What do you care for them or their suffering?
5797You''re very, very sure you want me?
5797You''ve given all you can and done all you can.... You''d have to be God and create a new world... Do n''t you see?"
5797and to its companion question, What shall I do with it?
5797how could you?..."
5797wife?"
34419A hole?
34419A native-- no? 34419 A quake of fear?"
34419A talk? 34419 A visit?"
34419About Geoffrey Heath?
34419Above all, what in heaven have I to do with Milly Trend?
34419Afraid?
34419Against you, Alice? 34419 Ah, that''s rather a pity, is n''t it?"
34419Ah, then there''s business?
34419Alice, can you kiss me when you know you have broken your promise?
34419Alice, my child, my darling, are you not really mine?
34419Alice, what does it mean?
34419Alice,he said, alarmed by the swift alteration,"are you tired of the house?
34419All the same I''m glad you can honestly stick to Jasper,said Ordway,"he counts on you now, does n''t he?"
34419Am I to understand seriously that she means to marry Brown?
34419An accident on the road, was n''t it?
34419An engagement?
34419And Aunt Mirandy?
34419And Geoffrey Heath?
34419And are you different also?
34419And at the end of that time, I presume, you were wearied of widowhood and married Buzzy?
34419And did he fight?
34419And did you fail?
34419And do the people like it?
34419And do you think she cares for him-- that she even imagines that she does?
34419And for nothing? 34419 And he did n''t strike a single blow?"
34419And how much,demanded Wherry insolently,"does that happen to be?"
34419And if I will not what are you going to do about it?
34419And if he does n''t? 34419 And if he refuses?"
34419And if he says he''ll give it who will believe him?
34419And it is about me?
34419And it is different now?
34419And leave Milly here? 34419 And leave you the open?"
34419And now you will have something to think of, Alice, you will be bored no longer?
34419And so I am to interview this interesting example of degeneration?
34419And so you expect me to take you without knowing a darn thing about you?
34419And suppose he asks you-- as he probably will-- how in the devil it came to be any business of yours?
34419And the children? 34419 And there was none?"
34419And this is the result?
34419And what will you do in the new place?
34419And why is that?
34419And you are happy at last?
34419And you are making a new foundation now?
34419And you care nothing for Kit Berry?
34419And you cared nothing for me?--nothing for my anxiety, my distress?
34419And you go in an hour?
34419And you promise me that you will give it up?
34419And you remembered me chiefly because of the park and the circus?
34419And you will do just what I wish, wo n''t you?
34419And you will give me raspberry preserves out of the blue china jar?
34419And you would have gone without seeing me?
34419And you, Banks? 34419 And you?"
34419Any letters, daughter?
34419Anything going on there? 34419 Are simple things always ugly?"
34419Are we going there now-- to see Crowley, I mean?
34419Are you alone, Alice? 34419 Are you obliged to go back to that hateful office this afternoon?"
34419Are you positive that you said nothing to bring about her decision? 34419 Are you quite sure that you''re well, Daniel?"
34419Are you ready to walk back now?
34419Are you sure this will be a lesson to you?
34419Are you sure, then, that she was not with Geoffrey Heath?
34419As a bookkeeper?
34419Ask yourself, then, what possible reason I could have in coming to you-- except to save you?
34419At least you''ll let me go with you to the station?
34419At the cotton mills? 34419 Banks?
34419Before I leave you, will you promise me to give him up?--to forget him if it be possible?
34419Beverly? 34419 But Alice?
34419But I thought you were determined to stay in Botetourt for the future?
34419But I''ll see you sometimes, sha n''t I?
34419But ca n''t I mourn for papa and mamma just as well in my beads as I can without them?
34419But how could these things possibly affect us?
34419But how did I know, Smith, that you wan''t livin''up to the man at your door?
34419But how did she raise the money?
34419But how do you know all this, my dear fellow? 34419 But how does she show it?"
34419But if it were true how could you know it?
34419But if you pay it all to Wilson,Emily would ask, as a kind of elementary lesson in arithmetic,"how is the money going to buy all the other things?"
34419But is he unkind to you, Alice? 34419 But is n''t our chief end just to make them easier for others?"
34419But perhaps the custom of the place was different?
34419But she is safe now?
34419But the place belongs to Mr. Beverly, I presume?
34419But this strange dizziness, my dear? 34419 But were you obliged to leave home in this way?
34419But what can I do? 34419 But what has this bald- headed man to do with Alice or with me?"
34419But what is knowledge,she demanded,"if it is n''t just feeling, after all?"
34419But when did she change? 34419 But where is Micah?"
34419But where will you go?
34419But where?
34419But will it last?
34419But wo n''t you stay on in Tappahannock? 34419 But you could n''t make a living at it?"
34419But you were sad once-- that day in the cemetery? 34419 But you wo n''t stay one long?"
34419Can you give me shelter for the night?
34419Can you tell me,inquired Ordway, when they had started again upon the advance,"the name of the old house I passed a mile or so along the road?"
34419Cedar Hill, is it? 34419 Closed?
34419Come back here a minute, will you, out of hearing? 34419 Contented?
34419Cousin Paulina?
34419Crowley?
34419Daniel,he asked,"what is the use?"
34419Did I?
34419Did he come about the tobacco, Beverly?
34419Did he keep it?
34419Did n''t it?
34419Did she care for him?
34419Did she meet him for the first time last summer?
34419Did she sleep?
34419Did she wait for that to marry me?
34419Did you ever find out his name?
34419Did you hear any news, my dear?
34419Did you meet Banks as you came in? 34419 Did you serve a term in prison before you came here?"
34419Did you sit up with him last night?
34419Did you sit up with him last night?
34419Did you tell me he got here yesterday?
34419Different? 34419 Do n''t you think I know that I have ruined your life?"
34419Do n''t you think six lemonades in one day too many?
34419Do you dare to tell me that you''ve been to Botetourt?
34419Do you expect to go shortly?
34419Do you feel the need of a cup of coffee, Daniel?
34419Do you give him any medicine?
34419Do you know anything of Geoffrey Heath? 34419 Do you know it is three months since we had a letter from Alice,"he said,"and six since she went away?"
34419Do you know, sir, that you have not entered my house once in the last three years?
34419Do you know,she asked presently,"any hands that I can get to work the garden this week?"
34419Do you mean to tell me that she''s willing to put up with Heath for the sake of a little extra luxury?
34419Do you mean to tell me you''ve forgotten our conversation in that beastly road?
34419Do you mean you''ve separated?
34419Do you mean, Emily,asked Beverly, in his plaintive voice,"that you have been actually digging in the ground?"
34419Do you mind telling me,she asked, after an instant''s hesitation,"why you came to Tappahannock?
34419Do you remember the night I slept in your barn?
34419Do you remember the night in the bar- room?
34419Do you remember, papa, how Alice used to bite and scratch as a baby? 34419 Do you s''pose it would like a little molasses for its supper?"
34419Do you suppose Alice''s marriage could have sobered him? 34419 Do you think I''d better see a doctor?
34419Do you think I''d turn sneak?
34419Do you think if I had succeeded, I''d be splitting wood in Bullfinch''s Hollow?
34419Do you think so?
34419Do you tire of it?
34419Do you understand me?
34419Do you want me to start in at the books to- day?
34419Do you want to sweep out the warehouse or to keep the books?
34419Does she expect me to sit quietly by and see it go on forever? 34419 Easier to bear?--no, but I do n''t think the chief end of things is to be easy, do you?"
34419Every man has a right to give up some time, has n''t he?
34419Extravagant? 34419 Geoffrey Heath?"
34419Give her up? 34419 Good Lord, is that so?"
34419Had a son, did n''t he?
34419Had n''t she left him last night for good and all?
34419Happy?
34419Has anything gone wrong?
34419Has he had a quiet night?
34419Has it ever occurred to you,he asked,"how little-- how very little you know of me?
34419Have you even forgotten that I am the father of your children?
34419Have you ever practised law in Virginia?
34419Have you lost all love for me, Lydia?
34419Have you seen Smith? 34419 He has been very kind about it, has n''t he?"
34419He makes a handsome little pile out of''em too, I guess?
34419Horatio Brown?
34419How about to- morrow? 34419 How can I help it?
34419How dare you come to me with a tale like this? 34419 How did you hear it?
34419How do I know if I''m to get the money?
34419How does it concern them? 34419 How is she?"
34419Howdy, Smith, is that you?
34419I almost hope she is n''t pretty, and yet it''s horrid of me and I wonder why I hope so? 34419 I am at peace and is that not happiness?"
34419I am taking you to see Adam Crowley,she explained,"do you remember him?"
34419I beg your pardon, sir, but are you the man that helped William Cotton?
34419I have, but not that way-- where''s Trenton whom we''ve been talking of all summer?
34419I know the name, but the tobacco market is about closed now, is n''t it? 34419 I reckon this coat''s all right, Smith, ai n''t it?
34419I shall go, I think, on the four o''clock train,he continued,"is that what you would advise?"
34419I should n''t like to cross you,she said, laughing,"but then why should I?
34419I suppose I may as well make them plain?
34419I suppose I may have a talk with Heath anyway?
34419I suppose it is,said Lydia, though she added immediately,"but are n''t the poor often very immoral?"
34419I suppose you would n''t like to tell me what you said to her?
34419I suppose your philosophy would insist that after plucking it I should demand the eating of it also?
34419I wonder how it is that you keep so happy in spite of everything?
34419I wonder if he really hates me?
34419I wonder if he''s the chap Hudge was telling me about at breakfast?
34419I wonder what she is like and if she is pretty or plain?
34419I wonder why under heaven you took me in?
34419I wonder why you do these things?
34419I wonder why?
34419I''d like to know what right you have to talk about brutality?
34419I''m a minute late,he said,"but it does n''t matter, does it?
34419I''ve been to college-- do you mean that?
34419I? 34419 I?
34419I?
34419If I am,he asked jokingly,"will you promise to stand off and not spoil the game?"
34419If I could have helped you then, why can not I help you now?
34419If she is not, where is she?
34419If that was true, is not your life in Tappahannock true also?
34419If those are old books, wo n''t you remember to take them up to your room, Daniel?
34419In spite of Milly?
34419In that case had n''t we better serve ourselves until she has made up her mind?
34419In that case you''ve no objection to leaving immediately, I suppose?
34419Indeed? 34419 Is Alice dead?"
34419Is Baxter here this morning?
34419Is it a Sunday frolic, do you suppose?
34419Is it decided then that I shall go to Jasper Trend?
34419Is it in your way? 34419 Is it possible?"
34419Is it to hold good if the damned thing burns befo''mornin''?
34419Is n''t it better so?
34419Is n''t that all the more reason she ought to have her family about her?
34419Is she really a saint?
34419Is that Bernardsville over there?
34419Is that you, Baxter?
34419Is the second green parrot dead, and do you want me to dig the grave?
34419Is there to be nothing but hard work for you in the future?
34419Is this just?
34419Is your name Daniel Smith?
34419It ai n''t her terrapin, is it, papa?
34419It appears that you want to take the whole job out of my hands now, does n''t it?
34419It is better for me to go away, I suppose, at once?
34419It is n''t manufactured, then-- only bought and sold?
34419It is taken for granted, then, that I shall live on here with my wife and children?
34419It is understood, then,he asked"that I am to come back-- back to this house to live?"
34419It was his desire, then, that I should return?
34419It will be better than playing with dolls, wo n''t it? 34419 It would only mean-- wouldn''t it?--that people would begin to wonder all over again?"
34419It''s very fine,she said,"I bought it from what''s- his- name, that famous man in Paris?
34419Jasper Trend?
34419Just?
34419Left Geoffrey?
34419Like the mother?
34419Love your child? 34419 Lydia,"he asked,"is it too painful for you to have me here?
34419Mamma''s health is wrecked?
34419May I ask you, Mr. Smith,began the little man, suddenly,"if you can prove your right to vote or to hold office in Virginia?"
34419May I get you something?
34419May I see him now?
34419May I wear my coral beads even if I am in mourning, Aunt Emily?
34419Me?
34419Meanwhile is she to be left utterly uncontrolled?
34419My child, my child, what is it?
34419My hand down for what?
34419My help?
34419New York?
34419No I''m not sick, but what are you doing here?
34419No,he answered with a smile which threw a humorous light upon the question,"I cannot-- can you prove yours?"
34419Not knowing where it would end?
34419Now I''ll go for an hour,he said abruptly,"and by the way, have you had supper or shall I bring you some groceries when I come?"
34419O my dear, my dear, do n''t you think I know what I have done to you?
34419Oh, Baxter, how is it possible that I''ve lived without you?
34419Oh, but I say, do n''t hurry-- what''s the use? 34419 Oh, it''s that then?
34419Oh, what can we expect of him? 34419 Oh, you are, are you?"
34419On the train with me? 34419 On your own hook?"
34419One or more?
34419Perhaps you will come in to supper with us to- night? 34419 Perhaps?--that''s likely, is n''t it?"
34419Preached?
34419Proud of me?
34419Ready? 34419 Sacrifice?
34419Seven years?
34419Shall I hear them now? 34419 Shall I pour the coffee?"
34419Shall we have a good time, then? 34419 She will not confess it-- how could she?"
34419Sign the agreement? 34419 Smith,"he asked in a hollow voice,"do you suppose it''s really any worse to die by your own hand than by disease?"
34419So I''m to fight Jasper Trend, am I?
34419So Miss Emily did n''t know of it?
34419So he got you out of Paris? 34419 So he is still living?"
34419So she has decided to stick to him for better or for worse, then?
34419So you bought it in the end,laughed Ordway,"as you did last year after sending me out there on a mission?"
34419So you got mixed up in a barroom row last night, I hear, Smith?
34419So you''d like to save your own skin, after all, would n''t you?
34419So you''re dead sure then that you ca n''t be talked over?
34419So you''re going West?
34419So you''re positive she means to marry him?
34419So you''ve had your eye on her yourself?
34419So, you''ll spend the night?
34419Tappahannock? 34419 Ten Commandment Smith?"
34419Than marry whom?
34419Than whom?
34419That ai n''t the point, Smith-- it''s going on three years since you came here-- am I right?
34419That? 34419 The hot weather has come early, has n''t it?"
34419The place of diamond turtle- doves and violet stockings?
34419The treaty? 34419 Then I''ll break it for you,"returned Ordway, starting toward the door,"for I may presume, I suppose, that the lady is Miss Trend?"
34419Then since you insist upon that awful word''business,''I suppose you mean that you''ve come formally to ratify the treaty?
34419Then surely my uncle will fulfil the trust? 34419 Then the son has all the money and the house, too, has n''t he?"
34419Then there''s no chance for me?
34419Then there''s not much to be said for the chap, I suppose?
34419Then we are to wind up the affairs of Cedar Hill, are we? 34419 Then why did you follow me?
34419Then you are for the under dog, right or wrong, as I am?
34419Then you began again at Baxter''s warehouse the morning afterward?
34419Then you did n''t want her to go back? 34419 Then you knew Brown before?"
34419Then you know him?
34419Then you will be happy again-- to- morrow?
34419Then you will go?
34419Then you will not object to my living on in this way? 34419 Then you''ll ride it again?"
34419Then you''re going away?
34419Then you''ve no need of me and I may as well go home?
34419Then, perhaps, I''ve been wrong in telling you this to- day?
34419There''s no doubt of it?
34419This is Daniel Ordway-- do you remember him?
34419Till Thursday week? 34419 To knock out more of poor Geoffrey''s teeth?
34419To save me?
34419To the Orphan Asylum? 34419 To- morrow?"
34419Was it so very wrong? 34419 Was not this will made some years ago, however, before the old man became helpless and lost his money?"
34419Was there anybody else with me, Banks? 34419 Well, I can, ca n''t I, darling?"
34419Well, I did that much good at least,observed Ordway with a smile,"have you finished, Kit?"
34419Well, I sha n''t speak of it, of course-- but would it not be better for me to return immediately to Tappahannock?
34419Well, I''ve got to thank you for it, Smith?
34419Well, so I am, I suppose,she returned dismally,"there''s nothing else for me to do, is there?"
34419Well, what about this particular instance? 34419 Well, you''re a nice one with your history to put on these highfaluting, righteous airs, are n''t you?"
34419Went home? 34419 Were you guilty?"
34419Were you tried and convicted in New York?
34419What I want to know,he insisted bluntly,"is why you are here at all?"
34419What about medicine and food?
34419What can I do? 34419 What do you think of their wanting to make me Mayor, Banks?"
34419What do you want? 34419 What had become of me?"
34419What have I to do with Gus Wherry or with Daniel Ordway?
34419What have other people got to do with my mourning, Aunt Emily?
34419What is it about, Adam? 34419 What sort of work?
34419What''other thing''do you mean?
34419What''s become of him, I''d like to know? 34419 What?
34419What?
34419What?
34419When did she come to you?
34419Where did you work last?
34419Where is uncle Boaz? 34419 Where is your wife?"
34419Where were you married, Alice? 34419 Where?"
34419Where?
34419Who are you? 34419 Who is Miss Meely?"
34419Who is he, by the way?
34419Who is this Geoffrey Heath you speak of so incessantly?
34419Who''s that fellow over there?
34419Why did you select Tappahannock? 34419 Why do they always interfere with me?
34419Why not?
34419Why not?
34419Why should I, indeed? 34419 Why should he dislike me?"
34419Why should not Daniel Smith, for a good purpose, resume the rights which Daniel Ordway has forfeited?
34419Why should they judge you by that and by nothing else?
34419Why, Aunt Mehaley, what do you mean?
34419Why, what''s the use in your asking?
34419Why, yes, he was my father''s clerk for forty years, was n''t he? 34419 Will the moth fall into the flame or will it escape?"
34419Will you be careful-- very careful from this time?
34419Will you let me see your father?
34419Will you let me speak to her alone first,he asked,"for a few minutes?"
34419Will you make me a promise?
34419Will you promise me to wait?
34419Wo n''t run?
34419Wo n''t you sit down?
34419Worse?
34419Would it not be better to wait until to- morrow, Alice?
34419Would you mind saying that over again in a lower tone?
34419Yes, I remember you told me so-- but does that make it any easier to bear?
34419Yes,said Ordway, with an effort,"he''s the handsome chap who came here last June, is n''t he?"
34419Yet Milly''s a good wife and you''re happy, are n''t you?
34419Yet your Miss Emily still sticks to him, it seems?
34419Yet your present husband is kind to you, is he not?
34419You are going away? 34419 You are ready to swear to this?"
34419You are the gentleman, ai n''t you, who got him to sign the pledge?
34419You are visiting Tappahannock, then?
34419You believe, then, that she has gone off?
34419You can-- can you?
34419You do n''t?
34419You followed me?
34419You have n''t heard then? 34419 You knew Mr. Brown, did n''t you say, suh?--before you came here?"
34419You knew all the time and yet you wanted me to go back to Tappahannock?
34419You liked him, did n''t you?
34419You look ill,she said with her charming smile;"shall I ring for Marie to bring you whiskey?"
34419You mean he actually fears violence?
34419You mean that you would have been my friend through everything?
34419You mean they would regret their kindness?
34419You mean when I come, you quit?
34419You mean you knocked him down?
34419You mean you wo n''t run?
34419You mean you would n''t trust me?
34419You mean you''ll go away even after you''ve bought''em?
34419You must have come a long way-- haven''t you? 34419 You remember me, Alice, my child?
34419You shall have them shortly,she said, smiling,"but do you prefer pop- overs or plain?"
34419You spent last night with him?
34419You think so, do you? 34419 You think then that it is better to do a small thing well than a big thing badly?"
34419You think, then,he asked,"that she meant none of her violent protestations of last night?"
34419You went straight to Paris, did n''t you?
34419You will buy some clothes, first of all, will you not?
34419You will come back again? 34419 You''re always right,"he admitted despondently,"but do you think, then, that I''d better not see Alice to- day?"
34419You''re an educated man, then?
34419You''re fit for a clerk''s position?
34419You, Smith? 34419 You?"
34419Your oath? 34419 ''An, indeed, I''d like to know, Mr. Kelly,''said I to him,''if it''s too great a strain for the women, how the virtue of the men have stood it? 34419 ''Are you dead sure, Smith?'' 34419 ''Beverly,''she called out in a loud, high voice,''have you dared to sell the cedars?'' 34419 ''You shall have it within an hour on my word of honour,''she answered,''can you wait?'' 34419 A fresh start and then what? 34419 About what?
34419After all there was a way of escape, so why should it be closed to him?
34419Against you?"
34419Ai n''t that so, boys?"
34419Am I right in suspecting that you meant to go away with him to- night?"
34419And Dick-- he is n''t sick, but he might as well be, he is so dull and plodding and over nice----""And you Alice?"
34419And if he had noticed the new bronze dragon she had bought for the hall?
34419And is she as captivating as ever?"
34419And now it''s settled, ai n''t it, that you''re to come to my house to stay?"
34419And the change came-- how do you think?"
34419And was I right?"
34419And was her coldness, as he had always believed, but the outward body of that spiritual grace for which he had loved her?
34419And what are you after in Tappahannock?"
34419And what on God''s earth are you doing here?"
34419And what will you do when you get there?"
34419And yet-- was it only the early morning hour?
34419Are you coming, Baxter?"
34419Are you looking for a job with him?"
34419Are you settled here now?"
34419At each gesture the guard had called out sharply:"Keep still there, wo n''t you?"
34419Back in his own room again, he asked himself desperately if this existence could be possible?
34419Baxter?"
34419Being a stranger I thought it would be easier for you than for me-- have you ever heard anybody speak of Beverly Brooke?"
34419But I ask you as man to man,"he demanded warmly,"was there another blessed thing on God''s earth for me to do?"
34419But I hope you ai n''t sick Smith?
34419But how are you, Banks?
34419But this little girl will be real, you know, and that''s ever so much more fun, is n''t it?
34419But what was Hudge telling you?"
34419But what''s that in such a blood- curdlin''spell as this?"
34419But where do you imagine that I am taking you?"
34419Ca n''t you find out?"
34419Ca n''t you hear him holler?"
34419Ca n''t you sleep now?"
34419Can I do anything to help you?"
34419Could no place, no name even afford him a permanent shelter?
34419Could so great a force as his love for her fail to avert from her young head at least a portion of her inevitable disillusionment?
34419Did n''t I tell you that a woman was at the bottom of every mess I was ever in?"
34419Did the knowledge he had found there count for nothing in his life-- the bitterness of shame, the agony of remorse, the companionship with misery?
34419Did there ever live a woman who has n''t felt at times like railing against the milk pans and denying the eternal necessity of ham and eggs?"
34419Did you deny, then, that you had signed the check?
34419Did you influence her in any way?"
34419Did you talk to Uncle Richard?
34419Did you tell him that we''d decided that he should run?"
34419Did you, by the way,"he added abruptly,"ever happen to run up against Jasper Trend?"
34419Do n''t I lie awake at night making up all sorts of speeches I''m going to say to her in the morning?
34419Do people dress like that where you came from?
34419Do you hear that noise?
34419Do you know I slept out in the fields every hot night last summer?"
34419Do you mean she''s gone back to that brute?"
34419Do you mean you are going away?"
34419Do you recall how very unpleasant that tin roof was, Amelia?
34419Do you remember the big wax doll you gave me when I was six years old, and how her voice got out of order and she used to crow instead of talking?
34419Do you think if we did n''t believe in the meaning-- in the purpose of it all that you and I could stand together here like this?
34419Do you think you could smuggle the money for their school bills into their Christmas stockings?"
34419Do you wish it removed?"
34419Does Alice go with you?"
34419Emily, have you noticed how inert and lifeless Mr. Brooke has grown?"
34419Even if he were spared now must he still live on here unaware how widely-- or how pitifully-- his secret was known?
34419Ever heard o''Danville?"
34419Ever seen his wife?
34419Good God, what?"
34419Had Wherry held back in mercy or had Milly Trend?
34419Had he spoken of him as"my son,"or merely as"Daniel Ordway"?
34419Had her very innocence shut him out from her soul forever?
34419Had his sin, indeed, crushed her until she had not power to lift her head?
34419Had she any objection, he asked himself now, to his presence in the household?
34419Have I asked you for as much as a darned cent?
34419Have n''t I played the gentleman from the first minute that I spotted you?"
34419Have you heard him spoken of by decent people since you have been in Botetourt?"
34419Have you seen or heard anything of her?"
34419Have you spoken to Jasper?"
34419He ca n''t vote in Tappahannock, can he?"
34419He wondered vaguely what connection he-- Daniel Ordway-- had ever held with these things?
34419He''s made a dirty town and you''re sweepin''it clean-- do you think it likely that it makes him love you?"
34419He''s pretty apt to make his bed, is n''t he?"
34419Her laughter, the delicious, irresponsible laughter of a child, rippled out:"She asked me one day if our blacks wore draperies?
34419His wife had begged him to consult a lawyer-- but who, he questioned doggedly, would take an interest in him since he had no money for a fee?
34419How are they going to be provided for?"
34419How are they going to live through this weather?"
34419How could it happen?"
34419How could it make any?"
34419How has she been behaving this time?"
34419How is mamma?"
34419How much have you paid him down?''
34419How?"
34419I ai n''t got any agreement,"protested Jasper, suspecting a trap,"and how do I know that the strike ai n''t over befo''you''re making the offer?"
34419I have been too hasty, for what, after all, have I to do with Milly Trend?"
34419I hope at least that she has come into the old man''s money?"
34419I thought-- I dreamed-- I could n''t get rid of it----""Who else could there have been?"
34419I told you, did n''t I?
34419I wonder if you get exactly the proper kind of food?"
34419I''ve heard men were like that,"she thought,"or the freckles on my face?
34419I''ve left Geoffrey, have n''t I, papa?"
34419I''ve made a neat job of it, have n''t I?"
34419If Geoffrey had been really horrible?
34419In the first place now did n''t we promise each other that we''d play fair?"
34419Is Dick away?"
34419Is Kit better?"
34419Is all your chopping and your digging merely for the promotion of the general good?"
34419Is he cruel?"
34419Is he one of these?"
34419Is it just that with the instinct for luxury in your blood you should be condemned to a poverty so terrible as this?"
34419Is it just, for instance, that you should slave your youth away on your brother''s farm, while he sits and plays dominoes on the porch?
34419Is it nearly that?"
34419Is n''t it lovely?"
34419Is n''t it very pleasant as it is now?"
34419Is that natural, do you s''pose?"
34419Is this true?"
34419It is a dreadful thing to confess,"she concluded resolutely,"but the truth is I''ve been always a little afraid of him since-- since----""Afraid?"
34419It is not forever?"
34419It is now in their hands----""To whom was it drawn?"
34419It was n''t his fault, was it, if things never went just the way he had planned them out?
34419It was only after his son began to grow up that he became socially ambitious----""And is that all you have against him?"
34419It would n''t be kind to the little thing to make her look ugly, would it?"
34419It''s just as well he didn''t-- he''s so dreadfully dull, is n''t he, papa?"
34419It''s queer about those old families, now ai n''t it?
34419It''s so frightfully gloomy in this old house, is n''t it?
34419May I have till then?"
34419Mehitable?"
34419Micah?
34419Mighty little doing in tobacco now, is n''t there?"
34419Mostly on foot?"
34419Now I ask you pointblank-- where''ll you get your man?"
34419Now, at last, I''ll have somebody to take my side against mamma and Dick and Uncle Richard----""But why against them, Alice?
34419Oh, I say, Smith, you''ve got to give in in the end-- and a week sooner or later, what''s the difference?"
34419Oh, I wonder why one ever has children?"
34419Oh, what can I do?"
34419Oh, why, did they not tell me?"
34419Only she ca n''t wear that until she''s five years old, can she?"
34419Or the roughness of my hands?"
34419Or was it in the peculiar contrast between his gray hair and his young blue eyes?
34419Or were you too young at the time to notice it?
34419Papa, do you think Geoffrey will fuss about money when he hears this?"
34419Perhaps to- night-- who knows?
34419Shall I catch Milly, do you think, if I start at once?"
34419Shall we ride together?"
34419Shall we?"
34419She realised fully, I think, how much she would be obliged to sacrifice by returning home?"
34419She wanted to know how it had begun?
34419Since he had wished to remain undiscovered was it fair, she questioned, to thrust recognition upon his kindness?
34419So he is still living?"
34419So poor Mr. Beverly is dead and buried, then, is he?"
34419So that is what you call it, is it?
34419So you went to Europe immediately after I saw you in Washington?"
34419Suppose you give her up and bear it like a man?"
34419Surely they love you just as I do?"
34419Surely you have n''t forgotten the prodigal?
34419That this impulse concerned Alice he was vaguely aware, for when had his wife ever spoken to him upon a subject more directly personal?
34419That was thirty years ago, but he wondered now if the child''s way had been God''s way, after all?
34419The generous impulses of his youth were still there, but had not sorrow winnowed them from all that was base or merely selfish?
34419Then he went in through the window and----""And?"
34419There I had your help, had n''t I?"
34419There she closed the door upon him and inquired in a guarded tone:"Has Alice been with you this afternoon?
34419They''re decent enough folk in Tappahannock, are n''t they?"
34419Upon the occasion of his last meeting with her was she not hastening upon some ministering errand to the city gaol?
34419Was he to be always alone?
34419Was it from a sentiment, or as a warning, he wondered, that she left the great cedars barring the single approach to the house?
34419Was it impossible, after all, that a man should give up, as long as there remained a soul alive who believed in him?
34419Was it in his spare, weather- beaten face?
34419Was it only the peculiar mingling of pathos and gaiety in his look?
34419Was it only the wasted strength which had returned to him in his sleep?
34419Was it possible that even here he might find peace in the heart of the storm?
34419Was it possible that in making her a part of his intense inner life, he had lost, in a measure, his consciousness of her actual existence?
34419Was it possible, indeed, that Mrs. Brooke should have taken him in against her sister- in- law''s inclination, or even without her knowledge?
34419Was it still possible to save from the ruin, if not love, at least human companionship?
34419Was it very sudden?"
34419Was she really in love with Geoffrey Heath?
34419Was that Lydia, he wondered, kneeling there in her mourning garments with her brow hidden in her clasped hands?
34419Was the lesson that he had learned in prison to be wholly lost?
34419Was there any reason?"
34419Was there death, after all, not life hidden for him in her plaintive beauty?
34419Was there no spot in his future where he could possess himself in reality of the freedom which was his in name?
34419Was there not a certain spiritual kinship in the fact that they were both failures in life?
34419Was there to be no end anywhere?
34419Was there, indeed, almost a hint of relief in her tone?
34419We are sorry, Alice, are we not?
34419Were all pure women as passionless-- as utterly detached-- as she had shown herself to him from the beginning?
34419What about his own orphans now?
34419What are you doing in bed?"
34419What can we expect?"
34419What did he do?"
34419What did he want?"
34419What did you say to Geoffrey when he spoke to you in the lawyer''s presence?
34419What do you think?"
34419What duty remained?
34419What harm, he demanded, could come of any relation so healthful, so simple as this?
34419What have they to do with me?"
34419What is your next move then?"
34419What kind of work do you want?"
34419What makes them come out here?"
34419What obligation?
34419What of them?"
34419What responsibility?
34419What right has Dick or Uncle Richard to say whom I shall see or whom I shall not?
34419What use was it, after all, to bandy speeches, he questioned, with a mere drunken animal?
34419What was a woman like Milly Trend worth, that she should cost him, a stranger to her, so great a price?
34419What was it about the chap, he questioned, that had pulled at him from the start?
34419What''s happened now?"
34419When did you come, Smith?
34419When did you come?"
34419When did you eat anything?"
34419When did you get here?"
34419When had the tide turned so suddenly?
34419Where did you get on?
34419Where is your husband?"
34419Where is your room?"
34419Who knows but that I shall eat this wonderful tomato to- night at supper?"
34419Who was this fool of a Brooke?
34419Why ca n''t he come to you?"
34419Why did you do it?"
34419Why did you stay away such an age?
34419Why do you believe it?
34419Why had she thought of him?
34419Why should this country girl, he wondered, bring back to him so clearly the figure of his daughter?
34419Why, in thunder, did n''t you tell me so last June?"
34419Why, what in thunder do you want with''em?
34419Why, what''s the matter there?"
34419Will you come home?
34419Will you come inside or do you prefer to sit on the porch where we can get the view?"
34419Will you come?"
34419Will you go?"
34419Will you have a drink?"
34419Will you leave to- day or will you not?"
34419Will you lend me a nightgown, mamma?
34419Will you not, Alice?"
34419Will you promise?"
34419Will you walk a little way with me down this street?
34419Without that terrible atonement would he have gone on like Jasper Trend from fraud to fraud, from selfishness to damnation?
34419Wo n''t you sit down?"
34419Work, I mean?"
34419Would he admit to- day that what he had once worshipped as purity of soul was but the frost of an unnatural coldness of nature?
34419Would he be able to look fearlessly at Milly Trend again?--at Baxter?
34419Would it be any better for you if I went away?"
34419Would it have been kind to appear to you like an arisen ghost of Tappahannock?"
34419Would it not be better for him to lose himself a second time-- to throw in his lot with a lower class, since his own had rejected him?
34419Would that suit you?"
34419Would this ceaseless dread of discovery prove again, as it had proved in the past, more terrible even than the discovery itself?
34419You ai n''t a native of these parts, I reckon?"
34419You could n''t have been more than fifteen, I suppose?
34419You did n''t encourage it?"
34419You have been worrying about Alice?"
34419You remember how his laugh used to frighten me?
34419You were always ill, were you not?"
34419You will not seek to change anything?
34419You''re afraid I''m going to squeeze you, now, is n''t that it?"
34419You''re my friend now, ai n''t you?
34419after all it ai n''t as if a woman were a bank note, is it?"
34419and is he all right?"
34419and leave Milly?
34419and was this demonstrative embrace but a guarded confession of her gratitude for his absence?
34419and what is your business?"
34419and when did you discover it?"
34419and who did it?"
34419and you will make them leave me alone about Geoffrey Heath?"
34419asked Daniel, almost in a whisper,"or was it only that she wanted to see Paris?"
34419at Banks?
34419at Emily?
34419cried Banks,"you mean that you will stop her?"
34419cried Ordway, wheeling round,"do you mean she has refused you?"
34419demanded the boy in a whisper,"the time you came in through the window and took me home?"
34419do you want me to haggle with a cad like that to make him marry my child?"
34419exclaimed Baxter, chuckling,"you do n''t, do you?
34419exclaimed Jasper,"I do n''t reckon you''re sweet on her yourself, are you?"
34419gasped Milly,"do you mean a sermon?"
34419he asked gently,"would it not be better for me to speak to him instead of to you?"
34419he asked in a pleasant, conciliatory tone,"or will you have only a glass of seltzer?"
34419he asked in alarm, or was the passion she had shown merely the outburst of an undisciplined child?
34419he asked in an unnatural voice,"that she has gone off with Geoffrey Heath?"
34419he asked quietly,"or is Dick?"
34419he asked, laughing,"and let me feed crackers to the green parrot?"
34419he asked, smiling,"particularly when I share in the results as I shall in this case?
34419he demanded in perplexity,"and why is it that I can think of him now with the same interest with which I think of my own child?
34419he demanded,"and the prodigal?
34419he inquired uneasily,"or have I gone clean crazy?"
34419he repeated blankly,"you''ve never been there?"
34419he repeated, bitterly,"no, I dare say, it isn''t-- but the facts of life do n''t trouble themselves about justice, do they?
34419he wondered, and what power did he possess that kept Tappahannock in a state of slavery?
34419he wondered, and when had he begun to drift into the great waters where men are washed down and lost?
34419or would it be as well to give them time to cool off?"
34419repeated Ordway,"you''re afraid of Jasper Trend?"
34419roared Baxter,"and when you''re done, we''ll shoot off some sky- rockets over the job-- so there you are, ai n''t you?"
34419said Baxter softly,"you mean me, do you say?"
34419said the Major,"you mean your wife would be opposed to the whole thing?"
34419she added, bursting into sobs,"who''d have thought when I wore those beads that I''d ever have come to this?
34419she questioned presently;"it is very foolish of him, and what have I done?"
34419she questioned,"or is it only the way that she wears her hair?"
34419she repeated,"you mean from marriage?"
34419she whispered in his ear as she hung on his shoulder,"you will be good and kind always?
34419thar, wo n''t you, darn you?
34419this saddle?
34419to what?"
34419what then?"
34419you have not forgotten me?"
