39957 | She becomes calm and goes toward husband with out- stretched arms._) Do n''t you know me? |
39957 | She''s from Texas, is n''t she?" |
39957 | Suppose we throw these peaches in-- awfully pretty thing for dining room-- and this flower piece-- shall we group these three?--now, how much for all? |
39957 | THE SONS OF MEN HEARKEN Are ye worth the kiss of a woman? |
39957 | Tell me, did he have great wealth, palaces, honors? |
39957 | Tell me-- have I made you happy?" |
39957 | The Old Cane Mill_ By Nellie Gregg Tomlinson_"What''s sorghum?" |
39957 | The perturbed shopper turned reluctantly away, hesitated, and then asked:"But the roses? |
39957 | The words sprang joyous and clear as a bobolink''s note--"What''s this dull town to me? |
39957 | The younger man looked after the fast disappearing jinrickshaw and asked after a moment''s hesitation:"He''s married a Jap, has n''t he? |
39957 | Thee knew her loveliness? |
39957 | Then he burst out with:"Say, you''re about the slickest thing I ever saw in my life, ai n''t you? |
39957 | Then one asked:"What was it like-- the blessing He gave your teacher? |
39957 | Then you say: How can this be truth if it creates disaster? |
39957 | There is no question of society or dinners, but just us two alone, you and me-- and,"turning up her face,"you are happy with me, my Yuki San? |
39957 | Up there by Mollie? |
39957 | Was God a dream too? |
39957 | Was it sparkle of winter days? |
39957 | Was it stately march of moon? |
39957 | Was it the presence of dear friends? |
39957 | Was it you got the revivalist to come up from the Gulch? |
39957 | Was there any_ You_ in all the empty worlds? |
39957 | Well, what do you think of that? |
39957 | Were ye worth the roof of a womb? |
39957 | What can I do?" |
39957 | What devil''s spirit has seized upon thee?" |
39957 | What did mother tell you a few moments ago? |
39957 | What do the little bedroom scandals of the flimsy novels matter when the womanhood of Belgium has been despoiled? |
39957 | What do you mean, my honorable Uncle?" |
39957 | What does he want it for though? |
39957 | What has happened?" |
39957 | What is Paris? |
39957 | What is it to be king? |
39957 | What is the bill of fare? |
39957 | What of the redwings building their nests among the reeds in the midst of the marsh-- so low as almost to touch the water? |
39957 | What of the unpretentious home-- a mere hollow in the ground-- where the care- free pair go to housekeeping? |
39957 | What warrant of Being had that soul which could not touch in all the blank, black spaces of the void another soul to give it assurance of itself? |
39957 | What was it? |
39957 | What would it be every morning to take the saddle and follow a new road ahead of the sun? |
39957 | What would it be to wake up every morning with a fresh wonder, not knowing what the day would bring? |
39957 | What you waiting for, Murph? |
39957 | When suddenly, dubious and still unconvinced, he turned to me and asked:"Well, how in time did you find the razor?" |
39957 | When, at length, shy Bird of Fortune, shall my snare thy wings enfold?" |
39957 | Which is which?" |
39957 | Who can say that they have not chosen the better part? |
39957 | Who of all this gathering was more welcome than"John, the Fiddler"? |
39957 | Who will care for my little son?" |
39957 | Why did he_ marry_ her?" |
39957 | Why did you leave your little Rosie? |
39957 | Why should I care for bowing? |
39957 | Why should I not think of my own desires before my dust, too, flies forgotten before the passing caravans? |
39957 | Why should she add even the weight of her preference to that child in whose favor the dice were already so heavily loaded? |
39957 | Why?" |
39957 | Will someone pray? |
39957 | Will thee urge disrespect to the whole Society? |
39957 | Will you find the minister a seat? |
39957 | Wo n''t ye ever shet up?" |
39957 | Would it be hard?" |
39957 | Would it be of any use to go in? |
39957 | You girls never turn down free liquor, do you? |
39957 | You love me?" |
39957 | You may be sure I got there in a hurry, almost as quickly as Jennie, who was but a few steps away, calling as I ran:"Did he step on him?" |
39957 | You noticed her work in this room, ai n''t you-- on the table and chair and organ-- art needlework? |
39957 | You travelin''fellers allus know somethin''new, and are up to whatever is goin''on over the country, ai n''t ye?" |
39957 | Your kid is-- d- e- a- d. Do you get me? |
39957 | Yuki looked at the tragic face before her a moment, then she said:"At last, at last you know?" |
39957 | _ King Nasrulla._ And these are the stories that you have heard, stories about Paris and London and the cities across the water? |
39957 | _ Mehrab._ Does he not mean to make you queen whether you wish to be or not? |
39957 | _ Mehrab._ He threatened you, did he? |
39957 | _ Murphy( looking across at the loafers and speaking half as an invitation, half as a command)._ Are you staying, boys? |
39957 | _ Nourmahal( passionately)._ But what shall we ever choose again-- and get what we choose? |
39957 | _ Nourmahal( rising in agitation)._ When I am your queen, will you follow the voices of other nightingales? |
39957 | _ Nourmahal._ And I shall not be your only queen? |
39957 | _ Nourmahal._ But I shall not ride with you into the distance and leave the kings''daughters behind? |
39957 | _ Nourmahal._ It has not been so in Saranazett, but does nothing change? |
39957 | _ Nourmahal._ Stories? |
39957 | _ Nourmahal._ Why should anyone bow to me? |
39957 | _ One of the Men( doggedly, as they look at one another sheepishly and no one moves to go)._ Ai n''t we always stayin''till closin''time? |
39957 | _ Rosie Phelan( reaching over and pulling Long''s sleeve)._ Did you hear that, Dick? |
39957 | _ Rosie( lifting her arms to fasten the beads)._ Not takin''an active part? |
39957 | _ Second Painted Lady( patronizingly)._ How would you expect Murphy to know what is stored in that machine? |
39957 | is hypocrisy always so cruelly punished? |
26987 | A Dane? |
26987 | A what? |
26987 | A-- a--? |
26987 | Ah, I see,replied the professor,"a Mendelian segregation, you mean?" |
26987 | Ai n''t he teachin''us right? |
26987 | Ai n''t it a little early for Sunday- school picnics? |
26987 | Ai n''t it some of our business? |
26987 | Ai n''t that the stuff the old man used on the lawn last spring? |
26987 | Ai n''t that the trouble with our education, Jim? |
26987 | Ai n''t that your business and mine? |
26987 | All right,said Jim,"what shall I say you''ll do for the schools?" |
26987 | And who''s his star pupil? |
26987 | And why ca n''t he make good? |
26987 | And, Mr. Irwin,she went on,"will you have the school records, so we may be able to ascertain the proper standing of these pupils?" |
26987 | Any important work on the telephone line now? |
26987 | Any of the home folks coming in to see? |
26987 | Anyhow,Jim went on,"what''s the use? |
26987 | Anything wrong with your phone? |
26987 | Are n''t we sure to be defeated at last? 26987 Are you to be called upon to decide?" |
26987 | Aw, what''s the use of diggin''into it like this? |
26987 | Buddy,said Jim, patting the youngest Simms on the head,"you and Virginia can print the reading lessons this morning, ca n''t you?" |
26987 | But if I can not line him up? |
26987 | But why? |
26987 | Ca n''t you cripple him someway? |
26987 | Ca n''t you? |
26987 | Can Jennie keep on bein''county superintendent, now she''s married? |
26987 | Culture,cried Jim,"is the ability to think in terms of life-- isn''t it?" |
26987 | Did I? |
26987 | Did an old fellow named Hoffman from Pottawatomie County ask you to leave us and take his school? |
26987 | Did either of you fellows ever have any real duck- shooting? |
26987 | Did he swallow any of it? |
26987 | Did them examples come out of an arithmetic book? |
26987 | Did you hear,said she,"what Angie Talcott asked?" |
26987 | Did you line him up? |
26987 | Did you make any deal with those people down in the western part of the state? |
26987 | Did you talk with her about my work? |
26987 | Do n''t you get any fun out of doing a good day''s work? |
26987 | Do n''t you think father is lovely? |
26987 | Do n''t you think,said Doctor Brathwayt,"that it was less like a school because it was more like life? |
26987 | Do n''t you want me to be elected, Jim? |
26987 | Do they help much, Calista? |
26987 | Do they take much technical skill? |
26987 | Do you get them words from the speller? |
26987 | Do you reckon, Mr. Newton, that it''ll pizen him? |
26987 | Do you refuse to resign? |
26987 | Do you remember how you got that? |
26987 | Do you teach the kind of school you lay out in your talk? |
26987 | Do you think,said Jim,"that changing my methods would appease the men who feel that they are made laughing- stocks by having elected me?" |
26987 | Does anybody else think so? |
26987 | Ever hear of the use of nitrates to enrich the soil? |
26987 | Farmer, eh? |
26987 | For the better, always? |
26987 | Has it come to that? |
26987 | Have you a lawyer? |
26987 | He rounded up that gang of kids that shot us all to pieces at that hearing, did n''t he? |
26987 | He was alive, then? |
26987 | He? |
26987 | How about arithmetic and the other branches? 26987 How about the grammar?" |
26987 | How about you, Raymond? |
26987 | How are they about reading aloud? |
26987 | How are you enjoying it? |
26987 | How do them white specks keep us from needin''nitrates? |
26987 | How do you kids know so darned much about it? |
26987 | How does he accommodate so many visitors in that small edifice? |
26987 | How many can you round up? |
26987 | How many pupils of the Woodruff school are here? |
26987 | How much did they weigh? |
26987 | How so? |
26987 | How you feeling, Newt? 26987 How''m I goin''back on you?" |
26987 | How? |
26987 | I do n''t see,said a voice over against the cooking exhibit,"what there is in this to set people talking? |
26987 | I s''pose you''re off trampin''the slews at the sight of a flock of ducks four miles off as usual? |
26987 | I''m awful heavy, ai n''t I? |
26987 | I''ve had no idea he could make good as a teacher-- and what is there in it if he does? |
26987 | If we leave you in this yob, Mr. Irwin, our children will know nothing but cows and hens and soils and grains-- and where will the culture come in? 26987 Is it anything more than an outline of the mental march the pupils are ordered to make? |
26987 | Is n''t he related to some of the neighbors? |
26987 | Is n''t it fine to have the fireplace? |
26987 | Is n''t that looking rather far ahead? |
26987 | Is n''t your mother here, Jim? |
26987 | Is that a possibility? |
26987 | It would be nice, would n''t it? |
26987 | It''s Jennie''s baptism of fire, I reckon... and say, you''re not using the court room, are you? |
26987 | Jim,said she,"do you know that you are facing trouble?" |
26987 | Jim,said the colonel,"can these kids spell?" |
26987 | Just like Garfield in that Republican convention he was nominated in-- eh, Con? |
26987 | Know any Latin? |
26987 | Know what they are, Newt? |
26987 | May I call a little meeting here for a minute, Jim? |
26987 | Mr. Simms, I believe? |
26987 | Nils Hansen''s girl? |
26987 | No? |
26987 | On what grounds? |
26987 | Really,protested Jennie,"I do n''t think myself--""What do you think of his notions?" |
26987 | School out? |
26987 | Seein''we''ve busted up your program so far, may we take a little while longer? |
26987 | Since when has the position of teacher been an elective office? |
26987 | So I hear,said the president--"mostly a fight, is n''t it?" |
26987 | Some wood- ducks, I suppose? |
26987 | Take a chair, wo n''t you? |
26987 | That''s good,said Jim,"and they enjoy it, do n''t they?" |
26987 | The people,said the colonel,"must have a choice offered to''em, or how can you or any man tell what they want? |
26987 | Then will you be so kind and condescendin''as to stoop so low as to jump so high as to give him this letter? |
26987 | They do n''t pay him for overtime, do they? |
26987 | To do what? |
26987 | Was n''t there an effort made to remove him from his position? |
26987 | Well, then, Jim,said she,"why do you keep on with it?" |
26987 | Well, they''re cows, ai n''t they? |
26987 | Well, what do you call Wilbur Smythe? |
26987 | Well, what shall we do about it? |
26987 | Well,said Jennie,"do you desire to rest your case right here?" |
26987 | Well,said Jennie,"now that I''m married can I go on being county superintendent?" |
26987 | What am I neglecting? |
26987 | What business is that o''yours? |
26987 | What can I do? |
26987 | What d''ye mean by stopping me in this kind of place? |
26987 | What d''ye mean by''hosts''? |
26987 | What d''ye think of our school? |
26987 | What d''ye think, Ez? |
26987 | What d''ye want? |
26987 | What do I want? |
26987 | What do you mean? |
26987 | What do you want of that weed? |
26987 | What does Professor Withers say? |
26987 | What for did you vote for the dub, Ez? |
26987 | What for? |
26987 | What for? |
26987 | What has he lost if he does n''t? |
26987 | What is the course of study? |
26987 | What job? |
26987 | What kind of a proposition did that man Hofmeister make you? |
26987 | What say, Ez? |
26987 | What sort of job? |
26987 | What time''s the election, Ez? |
26987 | What wrong''s he done committed? |
26987 | What you been eating? |
26987 | What''ll you do with that? |
26987 | What''s all this? |
26987 | What''s the matter, boy? |
26987 | What''s the matter? |
26987 | What''s the matter? |
26987 | What''s the use of political meetings,said Jim,"when you and I can stand here and think our way out, even beyond the limits of our Universe?" |
26987 | What, for instance? |
26987 | What? |
26987 | Where can I see you after supper? |
26987 | Where did he imbibe them all? |
26987 | Where do you learn all these things, Jim? |
26987 | Where''s the copy? |
26987 | Who are the district? |
26987 | Who can do that? |
26987 | Who taught him the supreme wisdom of holding back his troops when they grew too wild for attack? |
26987 | Who''ll handle the pool? |
26987 | Who''s elected? |
26987 | Who''s going? |
26987 | Who''s making it? |
26987 | Who''s your school- teacher? |
26987 | Whom shall we invite? |
26987 | Why ca n''t they? |
26987 | Why did n''t you ask my advice? |
26987 | Why did n''t you phone me? |
26987 | Why did n''t you put it in Latin? |
26987 | Why not? |
26987 | Why not? |
26987 | Why should they th''ow Mr. Jim outen the school? |
26987 | Why, Jim,said the colonel,"you are n''t getting short of breath are you? |
26987 | Why, where''s he gone? |
26987 | Why? |
26987 | Why? |
26987 | Why? |
26987 | Why? |
26987 | Will you be out here to- morrow? |
26987 | Wo n''t the cream pool pretty near pay the expenses of running the school all summer? |
26987 | Wo n''t you come in and let me clean the mud off you,she asked,"and give you some dry socks?" |
26987 | Would he? |
26987 | Would you like to? |
26987 | Yes, but how about our schools bein''ruined by a love affair? |
26987 | Yes,repeated Jim,"old friends.... We are, are n''t we, Jennie?" |
26987 | Yes,said Jennie,"and when the teacher asked us to kneel and thank God, you said,''Why should we thank God that somebody else is blowed away?'' |
26987 | Yes? |
26987 | You mean these boys? |
26987 | You saw what he did? |
26987 | You want to line him up, do you? |
26987 | You''d vote for me, would n''t you, Con? |
26987 | _ Has_ he? |
26987 | ***** Was a woman ever quite without a costume? |
26987 | A decoration?" |
26987 | A man might rise in the spirit, but how about rising in the world? |
26987 | A-- a-- what?" |
26987 | An''now, what am I good fer? |
26987 | An''what has made the change in we- uns, ladies and gentlemen? |
26987 | And Jim? |
26987 | And echo answered,"What?" |
26987 | And had not Newton become a better boy-- a wonderfully better boy? |
26987 | And is it worth the fight?" |
26987 | And was n''t that just what she had been looking for in her mind? |
26987 | And what could he ever be? |
26987 | Any other nominations? |
26987 | Any pain?" |
26987 | Anything to him?" |
26987 | Are you?" |
26987 | Bonner?" |
26987 | But how does the milk tester fit into the curriculum of the school? |
26987 | CHAPTER VI JIM TALKS THE WEATHER COLD"Going to the rally, James?" |
26987 | Ca n''t you see it''s all wrong?" |
26987 | Cain''t I get anything I want at the stores? |
26987 | Cain''t I git a little money at the bank, if I got to have it?" |
26987 | Can he handle the crowd when it''s with him?" |
26987 | Could n''t we do this next fall? |
26987 | Could she approach the subject with any degree of safety? |
26987 | Did he know how cruel he was?" |
26987 | Do I see frost on your boots? |
26987 | Doc?" |
26987 | Does it appeal to ye?" |
26987 | Fortunately, she had n''t hindered him much-- but who was to be thanked for that? |
26987 | Going to the speakin''?" |
26987 | Had he not always been a dreamer? |
26987 | Had he not taken great interest in the project? |
26987 | Have you sort of kept them up to the course of study?" |
26987 | He''s what- ho within, there, ai n''t he?" |
26987 | How about this county fair idea? |
26987 | How can they tell themselves?" |
26987 | How could he flee, when this old soldier was fighting so valiantly for him in the trenches? |
26987 | How could he get the money for his expenses? |
26987 | How could he impose conditions on the whole school district? |
26987 | How could the colonel expect such a thing of him? |
26987 | How many oan you speak for?" |
26987 | How many will come back to- morrow morning at nine o''clock, and bring your school- books? |
26987 | How will our boys and girls appear when we get fixed so we can move to town? |
26987 | I do n''t know what all it is you want to do, but I do n''t, believe you can do it in nine months, can you?" |
26987 | I sha n''t be disturbed this year-- and after that-- what''s the use?" |
26987 | I thought you good for the mile, and you are n''t turning out a quarter horse, are you? |
26987 | I''ve told you about the Brown Mouse, have n''t I?" |
26987 | In an hour''s drive?" |
26987 | Mr. Irwin, will you please assume the duties?" |
26987 | Now, how about the census in the adjoining districts?" |
26987 | Or would it show me incompetent?" |
26987 | Otherwise, how was one to know whether the visitor was friend or foe? |
26987 | Perhaps it was not so high a status as the old; but who was to say that? |
26987 | Peterson?" |
26987 | Peterson?" |
26987 | See?" |
26987 | Shall I keep to them?" |
26987 | Shall we drive our best away to make it stronger?" |
26987 | Should n''t I quit at the end of my contract? |
26987 | Suppose I refuse to resign?" |
26987 | Suppose we move to town-- where does the culture come in?" |
26987 | The Lord was calling to a broader field-- but how could he be sure it was the Lord? |
26987 | The three members of the board with their immediate friends and dependents could muster two or three ballots each-- and who was there to oppose them? |
26987 | There were two or three men-- rather good catches, too-- who, if they were encouraged-- but what was there to any of them? |
26987 | They want to know?" |
26987 | This advice from her to"believe in what you have done,"--wasn''t there something new in Jennie''s attitude here? |
26987 | This turkey takes us back to the chaparral of Mexico----""What''s chaparral?" |
26987 | Was I, Colonel? |
26987 | Was he obliged to pay an honorarium for the chance to speak before the college gathering? |
26987 | Was it owing to any wisdom of hers? |
26987 | Was n''t I perfectly wuthless an''triflin''?" |
26987 | Was n''t his belief in what he was doing precisely the thing which had made him such a nuisance to the county superintendent? |
26987 | Was this the life to which public office had brought her? |
26987 | Well, had he not always been incompetent, except in the use of his muscles? |
26987 | Well, shall we go in?" |
26987 | Were not all his dreams as foreign to life and common sense as the Milky Way from the earth? |
26987 | What about her?" |
26987 | What d''ye say to comin''down and teachin''our school? |
26987 | What do you mean by a new kind of rural school?" |
26987 | What do you mean?" |
26987 | What do you see wrong in it?" |
26987 | What do you want? |
26987 | What for does he vote for that Bonner, and throw down an old neighbor?" |
26987 | What if the soil was so poor, in comparison with those black uplands, that the owner of the old wood- lot could find no renter? |
26987 | What was an honorarium? |
26987 | What was he anyhow? |
26987 | What would your tralalooral rural school do?" |
26987 | What''ll we do when the school board gets Jennie Woodruff to revoke his certificate and make him quit teachin'', hey?" |
26987 | What''s happened?" |
26987 | What''s the matter of your ol''man, Newt? |
26987 | Where are all the matches?" |
26987 | Where''d you get the raisin idee?" |
26987 | Where''s Mr. Irwin? |
26987 | Which would be the most becoming do you think?" |
26987 | Who wanted to be school director? |
26987 | Who''s in possession of that correspondence with the Wisconsin creameries?" |
26987 | Why not?" |
26987 | Why should n''t it have been even better served? |
26987 | Why, then, did the county superintendent hastily run to her room, and cry? |
26987 | Will you stick if we can swing the thing for you?" |
26987 | Will you try it?" |
26987 | Would Jim be able to buy suitable clothes? |
26987 | You ca n''t expect to retain a Cæsar, a Napoleon, or a Lincoln in a rural school, can you?" |
26987 | You do n''t want us to do all this in fifteen minutes, do you, Jim?" |
26987 | cried his mother,"where are you in pain? |
26987 | when I shall have finished telling what came of what Jennie Woodruff said to Jim Irwin, her father''s hired man? |
12179 | A girl,said I deceitfully,"traveling afoot and alone on the prairie? |
12179 | Ah, Mrs. Mobley,said Buck,"anything for me?" |
12179 | Ah, it''s you, Mr. Vandemark, is it? |
12179 | Ai n''t he purty? |
12179 | An''dat patent churn-- dat bane for Christina, too, eh, Yake? |
12179 | An''that adopted daughter o''theirn, Buck Gowdy''s sister- in- law, eh? |
12179 | And was his wife a quiet, kind of sad- looking woman that never said much? |
12179 | And what good would it do anyhow? |
12179 | And where did you get breakfast? |
12179 | And where were you, my poor boy,said she,"when she moved?" |
12179 | And you have n''t seen any lone girl or woman at all, even at a distance? |
12179 | And,sneered Mr. Wisner crushingly,"how long does it take a man to clear and grub out and subdue enough land in Herkimer County to make a living on? |
12179 | Anything more I can do for you? |
12179 | Are n''t you afraid, Teunis? |
12179 | Are you Mrs. Gowdy''s sister? |
12179 | At your house? |
12179 | Be friends,I blundered,"be friends? |
12179 | But do n''t you understand,he insisted,"that this trip has got to end here? |
12179 | But is n''t there a man among them? |
12179 | But that man-- won''t he follow our tracks? |
12179 | But where''s my land? |
12179 | Ca n''t you cook? |
12179 | Ca n''t you think where he stays? |
12179 | Can we be of any assistance? |
12179 | Can you fight? |
12179 | Can you shoot? |
12179 | Can you tell me the way to the schoolhouse? |
12179 | Can you understand what I''m saying? |
12179 | Christina who? |
12179 | Could you go? |
12179 | Did n''t you have any trouble in Dubuque? |
12179 | Did she ever leave word for you anywhere,asked the woman,"before you ran away?" |
12179 | Did she mention me? |
12179 | Did they? |
12179 | Did you ever see his wife? |
12179 | Did you ever see,said she,"such a set of darned infarnal fools as we are?" |
12179 | Did you notice his wife-- whether she seemed to be feeling well? |
12179 | Did you notice,said I,"that for miles we drove in the water-- back there on the prairie after the rain?" |
12179 | Did you pick up any passengers as you came along? |
12179 | Do n''t you hear the bell? |
12179 | Do n''t you know that? |
12179 | Do n''t you know,said the captain,"that you ortn''t to pound a feller with a horseshoe? |
12179 | Do n''t you remember that we drove up over a spur of the hill back there? 12179 Do n''t you think so?" |
12179 | Do n''t, eh? |
12179 | Do you ever go to church? |
12179 | Do you know any one,she asked,"good people-- along the road ahead-- people we''ll overtake-- that would be friends to a girl that needs help?" |
12179 | Do you love her like that? |
12179 | Do you think I want my bed all dirtied up with''em? |
12179 | Do you want me to sign it? |
12179 | Do you want six inches o''cold steel in your liver? |
12179 | Do you want what I know about the history of Vandemark Township in your book, or are you just out after my money? |
12179 | Friend of yours? |
12179 | Glad to make your acquaintance,said Gowdy;"and may I crave the acquaintance of our young Argonaut here?" |
12179 | Going across? |
12179 | Going with us after all? 12179 Got any saleratus?" |
12179 | Had a wife and no children? |
12179 | Hain''t you never goin''to grow up? |
12179 | Have you ever worked? |
12179 | Have you room for a passenger? |
12179 | Heavy loaded? |
12179 | How are you going to get to Canada? |
12179 | How can I get this money away from him? |
12179 | How could we come without leaving tracks? |
12179 | How do we know it is money? 12179 How do you do, Jacob? |
12179 | How do you do, Teunis? |
12179 | How do you know it''s worthless? |
12179 | How is our farm? |
12179 | How is the white heifer? |
12179 | How much money would it take? |
12179 | How old be you, Jake? |
12179 | How will you get me back on land? |
12179 | How you going, Judge? |
12179 | I am surprised, and there''s no woman out there with the poor little thing? |
12179 | I do n''t want to,said she,"I could n''t stay here, could I? |
12179 | I guess that''s the man,said I;"do you know where he is now?" |
12179 | I think I recognize that wagon, do n''t I? |
12179 | I''ve run for county office and got beat,said Wilbur:"and that takes you in, too, do n''t it, Jake?" |
12179 | If they knew that we were out with all this money, do n''t you suppose they would be after it? 12179 If you want that Iowa farm, pa--""Who?" |
12179 | Is anybody in sight? |
12179 | Is it a good country for a boy to locate in? |
12179 | Is it deep? |
12179 | Is it far? |
12179 | Is it on this awful prairie? |
12179 | Is it that man? |
12179 | Is n''t the sweat of your face just as plenty when you delve in the prairies? |
12179 | Is she a relative of yours? |
12179 | Is there any plow- land on it? |
12179 | Is there anything I can do? |
12179 | Is there preaching here to- day? |
12179 | Is this the Vandemark schoolhouse? |
12179 | Jacob,said she, with a sort of gasp,"you wonder why I kissed you up there, do n''t you?" |
12179 | Jake,said she,"are you and Rowena married?" |
12179 | Jake,said the judge,"whose house is that we just passed?" |
12179 | Kin you? |
12179 | Kind of a tall man with a sandy beard? 12179 Land already entered?" |
12179 | Locating over at our new town of Lithopolis, is n''t he? 12179 Look like me?" |
12179 | Make who give it back? |
12179 | May I offer,said he,"the hospitalities of the city in the form of a hot whisky toddy?" |
12179 | Mike Cosgrove, ai n''t that his name? |
12179 | My name''s Gowdy,he said;"all you people going west for your health?" |
12179 | No,I answered;"and I guess if any of them had seen her they''d have mentioned it, would n''t they?" |
12179 | No,said I;"have you?" |
12179 | Now, Jake,said he,"will you behave?" |
12179 | Now,said she, coming and sitting down by me, and laying her hand on mine,"ai n''t this more like it? |
12179 | Oh, has she? 12179 Or are you scared of the Bunkers?" |
12179 | Over your head? |
12179 | Rowena,I shouted,"what you doin''here? |
12179 | Safe? |
12179 | Shall I go, Jake? |
12179 | So you are going to fight Kaintucky? |
12179 | So, ignorant as I am, I kept a school last summer-- did you know that? |
12179 | Somebody wants me? |
12179 | Stranger here? |
12179 | Sure? |
12179 | The preacher''s wife? |
12179 | Then why do you change? |
12179 | They said.... Do you say she''s at your house? 12179 This ai n''t little Jake, is it?" |
12179 | To- day? |
12179 | Was he going on east? |
12179 | We? |
12179 | Well,I said,"who be you chasing, coming over here a dozen times when I did n''t know it? |
12179 | Well,said he,"what do you and your friend say? |
12179 | What are you goin''to do with me, Jake? |
12179 | What can I do for you- all? |
12179 | What can you do? |
12179 | What can you do? |
12179 | What crops have you planted? |
12179 | What d''ye mean? |
12179 | What did they say? |
12179 | What did you shoot for? |
12179 | What difference does it make? 12179 What do you mean?" |
12179 | What do you need? |
12179 | What do you regard as the qualifications? |
12179 | What do you think of Virginia''s dress and shawl? |
12179 | What do you think of that kind of talk? |
12179 | What do you want? |
12179 | What for? |
12179 | What good would that do? |
12179 | What in hell,asked the hired man when they got outside,"did you hit me for with that blasted strap?" |
12179 | What interests? |
12179 | What is it? |
12179 | What is it? |
12179 | What kept you so long? |
12179 | What kind of a gun? |
12179 | What made that old road? |
12179 | What makes you call this a station? |
12179 | What of? |
12179 | What said the old man, Yake? |
12179 | What seems to be the matter? 12179 What steps are you takin''?" |
12179 | What time was that? |
12179 | What was the next thing, Rowena? |
12179 | What water is that? |
12179 | What will happen,said Thatcher,"if this young man tells any one that he''s seen you?" |
12179 | What will you do with me, Jacob? |
12179 | What''s his name? |
12179 | What''s the matter of your hands? |
12179 | What''s the matter, Jacob? |
12179 | What''s the matter, little girl? |
12179 | What''s the matter? |
12179 | What''s up? |
12179 | What''s wanted, gentlemen? |
12179 | What? |
12179 | When you go back,said he,"if I do n''t, will you do me and this little offspring of mine-- and its mother-- a favor?" |
12179 | Where are the other corners? |
12179 | Where are we? |
12179 | Where did Sally go? |
12179 | Where do you live? |
12179 | Where have you lived all your life? |
12179 | Where is he? |
12179 | Where is he? |
12179 | Where is he? |
12179 | Where is she? |
12179 | Where shall I ride? |
12179 | Where''s Rowena? |
12179 | Where''s Rucker? |
12179 | Where''s he? |
12179 | Where''s my land? |
12179 | Where''s my mother? |
12179 | Where''s your folks? |
12179 | Which way is Monterey Centre? |
12179 | Who do you expect to meet in Canada? |
12179 | Who is she? |
12179 | Who you driving for, Johnny? |
12179 | Who you driving for, Johnny? |
12179 | Who''s sick, Jake? |
12179 | Who''s there? |
12179 | Who, me dying? |
12179 | Who? |
12179 | Who? |
12179 | Whose brat is this? |
12179 | Whose rig is that? |
12179 | Why are n''t you safe here? 12179 Why did n''t she write to you?" |
12179 | Why do n''t you bring Virginia out some day? |
12179 | Why do n''t you go on the railroad? |
12179 | Why, Jacob, Jakey,he drooled,"is this you? |
12179 | Why, Teunis,she cried,"is it you? |
12179 | Why, grandpa,she cried,"what''s the matter? |
12179 | Why? |
12179 | Why? |
12179 | Why? |
12179 | Why? |
12179 | Why? |
12179 | Will this hurt Virginia''s feelings if it is printed? |
12179 | Will you go, Jake? |
12179 | Will you? |
12179 | Wo n''t that be fine? |
12179 | Wot will the world come to, Jack, when younkers like this get a- goin''? 12179 Would it hurt much? |
12179 | Would n''t you lie,said she,"for me?" |
12179 | Would you like to work for me? |
12179 | You ai n''t married, yet, be you? |
12179 | You are just two thoughtless children,said he;"are n''t you now?" |
12179 | You hain''t lost him, have you? |
12179 | You hare, Yake? |
12179 | You hauled him-- and his wife? |
12179 | You have got the money promised you, have you? |
12179 | You have n''t heard any of the people on the road speak of this wandering girl, have you? |
12179 | You''ll sign our petition, wo n''t you? |
12179 | Young man,said he, drawing himself up stiffly,"what do you mean--?" |
12179 | Your mother? |
12179 | ''What''s in that bag?'' |
12179 | And after all what was I to her but a stranger? |
12179 | And if so, what about me? |
12179 | And to- night I pop some corn if you furnish butter, hey?" |
12179 | And what could you and Mr. Stone do against such robbers?" |
12179 | And where, most emphatically, where was Rowena? |
12179 | Any one waiting to rob us would be on the regular road, would n''t they?" |
12179 | Are you dying, my darling?" |
12179 | Are you sick? |
12179 | Ask Dick McGill, eh, Jake? |
12179 | At that rate, what was this swamp worth? |
12179 | But wars are fought by inconsistent men who suffer and die for other people''s ideas: do n''t you think so? |
12179 | But why were the dress and shawl smuggled into her room, instead of being brought openly? |
12179 | But, I thought, what could she do? |
12179 | Ca n''t a Dutchman see a joke?" |
12179 | Calls himself Doctor Rucker?" |
12179 | Can anything more clearly prove the vanity of human experiences? |
12179 | Can you drive?" |
12179 | Did ever any peril turn to any one a face so full of clemency and tenderness as this blizzard to me? |
12179 | Did he have any legal right to her control and custody? |
12179 | Did n''t I think I''d like it if I changed my way of writing my name to J. Teunis Vandemark? |
12179 | Did some one mean to fix it so the Bunkers would rob us of the satchel and thus let everybody off? |
12179 | Did the Bushyagers know about the satchel? |
12179 | Did they know it was full of salt instead of money? |
12179 | Did you hear it jingle?" |
12179 | Did you see him hugging them girls? |
12179 | Did you see him kissing them?" |
12179 | Do n''t that beat doing everything yourself? |
12179 | Do n''t you know enough to use saleratus to sweeten the sour milk? |
12179 | Do n''t you know you''ll get burnt up?" |
12179 | Do n''t you see?" |
12179 | Do you always act like this when you fight?" |
12179 | Do you remember he''s got one finger off? |
12179 | Do you understand, Jacob?" |
12179 | Eh, ma?" |
12179 | Eh?" |
12179 | Ever seen that poverty- stricken, semi- hamlet, squatting on the open prairie, and inhabited by a parcel of dreaming Nimshies?" |
12179 | Father with you?" |
12179 | Finally she said:"Am I wearin''anything you ever seen before, Jake?" |
12179 | Finally,"Did they say anything about me, Jacob?" |
12179 | For what if Virginia, in the schoolhouse without fuel, should try to reach the place where she boarded, or any inhabited house, in that storm? |
12179 | For what other purpose had they come to this patch of woods? |
12179 | Going which way?" |
12179 | Good talker? |
12179 | Had it come to pass in all these weeks and months in which I had not seen her that they had come to be on speaking terms again? |
12179 | Had not she and I cried together over the memory of my mother? |
12179 | Had she not been my intimate companion for weeks, cooked for me, planned for me, advised me, dreamed with me? |
12179 | Has Buckner Gowdy been around here? |
12179 | Has the wind changed? |
12179 | Have you any little calves?" |
12179 | Have you passed such a person?" |
12179 | Have you seen the baby lately?" |
12179 | He was cross, was n''t he? |
12179 | Hear''em jingle? |
12179 | Horses lame?" |
12179 | How be friends?" |
12179 | How could any one be found who had disappeared into that region which swallowed up thousands every month? |
12179 | How did he know my name? |
12179 | How did he know she was invited, or going? |
12179 | How did it happen that I did n''t see your outfit, Mr. Vandemark? |
12179 | How old are you?" |
12179 | I ca n''t remember much that was said; but I remember that the fat woman kept saying,"What do you mean? |
12179 | I might go with a body- guard, eh?" |
12179 | I stay?" |
12179 | I wonder if his knights were not in the main, pretty shabby rascals, as bad as Dick McGill-- or Cow Vandemark? |
12179 | I wonder if it was wrong to feel for her? |
12179 | I wonder if you would n''t like to turn an honest penny by coming over and working for me for a while?" |
12179 | I wondered why Mrs. Mobley had come with an excuse to get Mr. Gowdy away from me-- or after a couple of weeks''thinking, was it from Rowena? |
12179 | If he was a member of the Bunker gang, were n''t the Bushyagers members of it also? |
12179 | If we could locate along o''some of our ol''mates, somebody like old John Tucker,--it would be a-- a paradise, eh, Jake?" |
12179 | Is any one threatening you? |
12179 | Is she very bad?" |
12179 | It did not seem probable that we should be"nepoed"--but, after all, why not? |
12179 | It makes her dizzy-- and scares her awfully; can you take her?" |
12179 | It would n''t be breakin''the Sabbath to mix up a bakin''for a poor ol''bach like you, would it? |
12179 | Judge Stone was a much nicer man than the governor to meet up with, but-- well, what''s the use? |
12179 | Judge Stone whispered in my ear, looking anxiously around,"have you seen the governor in the last half or three- quarters of an hour?" |
12179 | Kind of plausible talker? |
12179 | Lucky I was right about its being a single- barrel, ai n''t it? |
12179 | May I?" |
12179 | Monterey Centre-- ever been there? |
12179 | Never thought of this when you were in jail, did you?" |
12179 | Not Rucker, eh?" |
12179 | Of course I''m yours-- and you are mine, Teunis-- ain''t you?" |
12179 | Of course, he would be on Buck Gowdy''s side; for what rights had such people as Magnus and Rowena and I? |
12179 | Oh, why ca n''t they all be good like you, Teunis?" |
12179 | Or maybe you want bread baked? |
12179 | Pretty well fixed? |
12179 | Railway?" |
12179 | See anybody you knew on the way?" |
12179 | Sellin''gawp- seed, or what is your business?" |
12179 | She ai n''t goin''with you? |
12179 | She spoke of the day when I was in my heart the meanest: but how could I explain? |
12179 | She was crying so that she did not hear me when I asked:"Why ca n''t we go on as we are? |
12179 | Should I go back to the canal? |
12179 | Show it to me, Jacob?" |
12179 | Sick?" |
12179 | So, Vandemark, you think I need killing, eh?" |
12179 | Sure it''s in this county?" |
12179 | That''s why you bought that mustang pony, eh?" |
12179 | The lawyer, Jackway, my guardian_ ad litem_, came into the tavern in a high and mighty and popular way, saying"How de do, ward?" |
12179 | The smoke swept down upon her, and when I next could see, she was stooped with her shawl drawn around her head; or was she on her knees? |
12179 | This was serious; but when I said to myself that the East would never secede, the question, Why not? |
12179 | To whom could she be speaking? |
12179 | Used to live down east of Syracuse? |
12179 | Vandemark?" |
12179 | Virginia was now as free from care as if she had been traveling with her brother; and what could I say? |
12179 | Want her? |
12179 | Want to see him?" |
12179 | Was I to be killed to save Judge Stone, or Governor Wade, and if so, which? |
12179 | Was it honest to let Dunlap and Thatcher drive off to liberate the nation with a horse that might go lame? |
12179 | Was she not scorning me even now? |
12179 | Was the plan to have the bag of"treasure"stolen from us by the Bunker gang a part of the scheme of whoever took the money? |
12179 | We say"thank you"to the man who pays us for a day''s wages; but why, if the work is worth the money? |
12179 | Went out west three years ago? |
12179 | What about Rowena? |
12179 | What color is it?" |
12179 | What could it be? |
12179 | What did I want to say? |
12179 | What do you expect to do on the prairies?" |
12179 | What do you mean? |
12179 | What had he been coming over for? |
12179 | What is it? |
12179 | What is title to land anyhow, but the right of those who have it to hold on to it? |
12179 | What kind of land have you been farming in the past?" |
12179 | What shall I do?" |
12179 | What should I do without her? |
12179 | What should I do? |
12179 | What use to me were wheat in the shock, hay in the stack, cattle on the prairie, corn already hiding the ground? |
12179 | What was a week''s time to me? |
12179 | What was it?" |
12179 | What was my idea in driving cows? |
12179 | What would Gowdy do to get Virginia back? |
12179 | What would happen if everything in the lives of us folks out here was to be told, especially as it would be told in Dick McGill''s paper? |
12179 | What would she do without me? |
12179 | What''s this manuscript you''re destroying? |
12179 | What''s wanted?" |
12179 | When did I think of getting under way? |
12179 | Where are you two bound for?" |
12179 | Where did you get''em, Virginia?" |
12179 | Where did you stay last night?" |
12179 | Where was Ma Fewkes, and where were Celebrate Fourth and Surajah Dowlah? |
12179 | Where was my mother? |
12179 | Where would I have been?" |
12179 | Where you goin''?" |
12179 | Which way are you going?" |
12179 | Which will you do?" |
12179 | Who else had the key to the office or knew how to open that safe? |
12179 | Who was guilty? |
12179 | Who''s with her?" |
12179 | Whose business was it anyhow? |
12179 | Why ca n''t every one be wise like us?" |
12179 | Why had I not used my opportunity to make her love me-- to force from her the confession of her love? |
12179 | Why not use my power? |
12179 | Why not? |
12179 | Why? |
12179 | Will it bring her back to life for you to stretch hemp?" |
12179 | Will you have the papers opened, and act for the dead scoundrel if it seems the proper thing to do? |
12179 | Will you stay here, and not move out of this room till I come back?" |
12179 | Will you, Jacob? |
12179 | Wo n''t you and the doctor join me in a night- cap in honor of our neighborship; and drink to better acquaintance? |
12179 | Wo n''t you come to dinner with us?" |
12179 | Would he try at all? |
12179 | Would it not all have to come out finally? |
12179 | Would n''t that be more like livin''?" |
12179 | Would she have done this if I had been driving oxen, or still worse, those animals which few thought worth anything as draught animals-- cows? |
12179 | Would she not laugh at me with some more forceful man when she had found him? |
12179 | You hare, Yake? |
12179 | You never have but about one mother, do you, Jake? |
12179 | Your house bane burn up in fire?" |
12179 | made with my own hands, mainly? |
12179 | said Henderson L."You ca n''t be expected to set up with it like it had typhoid fever, can you? |
18413 | A-- a-- a what? |
18413 | Am I supposed to guess? |
18413 | And Larkie, too? |
18413 | And let us make taffy after supper? |
18413 | And the baby? |
18413 | And what are you going to be? |
18413 | And what do they say of me? |
18413 | And what shall we serve them? |
18413 | And where in the world did you get these towels and silk shirts? |
18413 | And where is the chair- bottom now? |
18413 | And why did you take it? |
18413 | And you two great big girls came off and left poor little Connie in there alone with a burglar, did you? 18413 And you understand, do n''t you, father, that if everything does not go just exactly right, I shall feel I am disgraced for life? |
18413 | Are n''t they at home? 18413 Are n''t you Limber- Limb Grant?" |
18413 | Are the girls at school? |
18413 | Are the twins boys, or a boy and a girl? |
18413 | Are these rotten oysters? |
18413 | Are you assaulted? |
18413 | Are you beginning to feel sick? 18413 Are you going to be busy this afternoon, Prudence?" |
18413 | Are you going to live in Mount Mark now? 18413 Are you hurt?" |
18413 | Are you sick, Prue? |
18413 | Are you sick? |
18413 | Are your feet wet, twins? |
18413 | Been any men in here to- night? |
18413 | Before? |
18413 | But do n''t you see how hard it will be for me to go away? |
18413 | But do n''t you want to get married,--some time? |
18413 | But do you like her? |
18413 | But how do you twins understand all these things so thoroughly? |
18413 | But she will ask where we got it, and what shall we say? |
18413 | But wo n''t it be rather-- poky-- just sitting in the front room by yourselves all evening? |
18413 | But you precious child,he whispered,"why did n''t you call out, or pound on the door?" |
18413 | Ca n''t you send those girls away for the night,--to some of the neighbors? 18413 Can I go and take a walk?" |
18413 | Can you bring him here? |
18413 | Can your father make her eat? 18413 Come down- stairs, will you? |
18413 | Come now, what do they say? 18413 Could you walk from here to Burlington at one stretch?" |
18413 | Did he look rich? |
18413 | Did the twins play fair, Connie? |
18413 | Did they say you might have them? |
18413 | Did you ask Miss Allen about it? |
18413 | Did you ever have a lover, Prudence? 18413 Did you ever?" |
18413 | Did you get my application? |
18413 | Did you know your sleeve was coming out? |
18413 | Did you play football at college? 18413 Did you see him?" |
18413 | Did you take the bottom out of this chair?--It must have been horribly uncomfortable for those who have sat there!--However did it happen? |
18413 | Did you think I walked clear from Des Moines? |
18413 | Did you? 18413 Did your father send you on an errand?" |
18413 | Do n''t the twins tell you little things that happen at school,--like that, for instance? |
18413 | Do n''t you have dreams of the future? 18413 Do n''t you have dreams?" |
18413 | Do n''t you remember saying you could n''t swallow when we were coming home from school? |
18413 | Do n''t you think you owe me something, as well as your father and sisters? 18413 Do n''t you think, my dear,"began Mrs. Prentiss too sweetly,"that they are a little more than you can manage? |
18413 | Do n''t you want some fudge, Connie? |
18413 | Do the twins dress alike? |
18413 | Do you call that a blessing? |
18413 | Do you drink? |
18413 | Do you like Miss Allen? |
18413 | Do you mean you want me to get my things, and go right now? |
18413 | Do you mind if we take Jerry around by the woodshed for a few minutes, Prue? |
18413 | Do you really prefer to stay at home, Prudence? |
18413 | Do you see this board? |
18413 | Do you suppose there can be seven devils in my tongue, Lark, like there are in the Bible? |
18413 | Do you suppose they caught her? |
18413 | Do you suppose you can find us some milk, Prue? 18413 Do you think I have pet bugs to carry around with me for company?" |
18413 | Do you think it is all right for me to wear it, father? |
18413 | Do you think me so unmanly that I could n''t fall in love? |
18413 | Do you think we can carry home oysters for the-- the-- personal consumption of this Babbling young prince? 18413 Do you want me to rub it?" |
18413 | Do your shoulders hurt, Carol? |
18413 | Does Prudence know about that? |
18413 | Does she miss me? 18413 Does that make it square?" |
18413 | Else you would not have taken it, eh? 18413 Excuse me just a minute, will you?" |
18413 | Fairy, did n''t father leave his watch hanging on that nail by the table? 18413 Father,"began Prudence, her eyes on the lace coverlet,"do you think it would be all right for me to wear that silk dressing- gown of mother''s? |
18413 | Finish getting supper, will you, Fairy? 18413 Go in and entertain Babbie till I come down, wo n''t you?" |
18413 | Has Prudence been worrying about something this winter? |
18413 | Has she been grieving, and fretting for something? |
18413 | Have heretics feelings? |
18413 | Have n''t you seen the morning paper? 18413 Have you been sick? |
18413 | Have you got any rotten ones? |
18413 | How about the twins? |
18413 | How do you do? |
18413 | How do you expect to keep to- day''s minutes? |
18413 | How is that? |
18413 | How long did it take you coming from Des Moines to Mount Mark? |
18413 | How much have you got? |
18413 | How old are you, my dear? |
18413 | How should I know? 18413 I am sure you are very nice indeed, and we are going to be good friends, are n''t we? |
18413 | I am sure you will not mind that, will you father? 18413 I suppose it would hardly do to-- pop corn, would it?" |
18413 | I''ll bet there are a lot of nice fellows in Mount Mark, are n''t there? |
18413 | I-- I-- well, you know I-- you remember what I told you that first day, do n''t you? 18413 If I get below seventy will I be put down a grade?" |
18413 | Is Des Moines just full of beautiful girls? |
18413 | Is Mr. Harold in? |
18413 | Is he handsome? |
18413 | Is he young? |
18413 | Is it a riddle? |
18413 | Is n''t he a duck? |
18413 | Is n''t it a dandy? |
18413 | Is n''t it a lovely day? 18413 Is n''t it beautiful, Prudence?" |
18413 | Is n''t it beautiful? 18413 Is n''t it beautiful?" |
18413 | Is n''t she in on this? |
18413 | Is n''t that Mrs. Adams coming this way? 18413 Is n''t that heresy? |
18413 | Is she all right? |
18413 | Is she better? |
18413 | Is she sleeping? |
18413 | Is she very stupid? |
18413 | Is that your idea of love? 18413 Is there any way out of that closet besides this door?" |
18413 | Is your throat still sore, Carol? |
18413 | It is that young man, is n''t it? |
18413 | It was n''t the one that had the giminy billibus, was it? |
18413 | It''s a good thing father has to go to the trustees''meeting to- night, is n''t it? |
18413 | It''s a pretty street, is n''t it? |
18413 | It''s just Miss Avery getting home from school.--Isn''t it, Prudence? 18413 It''s nice she can sleep like that, is n''t it?" |
18413 | It''s so hot walking, is n''t it? 18413 Jerry is out unusually early, too, is n''t he? |
18413 | Jerry,he said abruptly,"did you and Prudence have a quarrel? |
18413 | Just like ordinary men, is n''t he? |
18413 | Just sit and look at each other and admire yourselves? |
18413 | Let''s make taffy, shall we, Fairy? |
18413 | Listen now, Prue,--how is this? |
18413 | Look here, Prudence, what did Miss Allen tell you? 18413 Look here, Prue,--what do you make of this? |
18413 | May I come in a minute? |
18413 | Maybe he will,--but who will keep the parsonage while I am away? |
18413 | Must you prepare meat for breading half an hour before cooking, or when? |
18413 | No,said Lark,"we have better judgment than to go splashing through the wet old snow.--What''s the matter with you, Carol? |
18413 | No,--but do n''t you remember the picnic,--and how you kept gathering them up in your handkerchiefs and putting them in your pockets? 18413 Now, tell father,"he urged,"how did you get in the dungeon? |
18413 | Now, what is wrong? 18413 Now, what would you advise us to do?" |
18413 | Now, will you twins run down- town for the oysters? |
18413 | Oh, Carol,said Prudence reproachfully, wiping her eyes,"how could you start us all off like that?" |
18413 | Oh, Des Moines is quite a city, is n''t it? 18413 Oh, Larkie, will you run up- stairs and bring my lace handkerchief? |
18413 | Oh, Prudence, do you suppose the doctors will let me come in and watch them bandage your head? 18413 Oh, are you ready?" |
18413 | Oh, father,she said quite snappily,"is n''t that just like me?" |
18413 | Oh, we''ve had it in the house quite a while,said Prudence, adding swiftly,"Is n''t it warm, Connie? |
18413 | Oh, why does n''t father do it? |
18413 | Oh, yes, Lark,suggested Carol finally,"do n''t you remember she said the Bible was an allegory?" |
18413 | Oh,--whatever will Mattie Moore say to me? 18413 Or this afternoon? |
18413 | Papa says his feet are not wet, and that you are a big simpleton, and-- Oh, did you make cinnamon rolls to- day, Prue? 18413 People do not have sense in their bones, Fairy, and-- and-- shall I say professor, or just plain Mister?" |
18413 | Prudence Starr,she cried furiously,"how dare you say such things of us? |
18413 | Prudence, shall we have tea or coffee? |
18413 | Put them on the table, Fairy dearest, and-- leave me for a little while, will you? 18413 Ride, sir? |
18413 | Say, Grant, what''s a fellow like you doing on such a fifth- rate job as this? 18413 Say, Prudence, is n''t this that old brown coat of father''s?" |
18413 | Shall I go down now? 18413 Shall I put flannel on her chest and throat, father?" |
18413 | Shall I raise a window? |
18413 | Shall we continue the meeting, Ladies? |
18413 | She''s very pretty and sweet, is n''t she? |
18413 | Sweet corn? |
18413 | The Methodist minister''s little girl, is n''t it? 18413 The front room?" |
18413 | The whole summer? |
18413 | Then you had another coat? |
18413 | To- morrow, Prudence? 18413 Was it a bad sprain? |
18413 | Was it all right? |
18413 | Was this something of yours, Fairy? |
18413 | We saw him use his wings when Connie yanked him out of the big maple, did n''t we, Lark? |
18413 | Well, first, are you a Christian? |
18413 | Well, if this did n''t belong to one of you, whose was it? |
18413 | Well, what can I do for you, Miss Constance? |
18413 | Well, when does your Des Moines tour come off? 18413 What are you going to do all evening?" |
18413 | What are you going to do to him? |
18413 | What did Miss Allen say? |
18413 | What did he say? |
18413 | What did you do to this soup, Prudence? |
18413 | What do they say of us? |
18413 | What do you think of that? |
18413 | What do you want it for? |
18413 | What else did Miss Allen say at school? |
18413 | What happened? |
18413 | What has all this to do with Miss Allen? |
18413 | What has she been doing? |
18413 | What has that got to do with it? |
18413 | What have you been doing all night? 18413 What have you been doing, Lark?" |
18413 | What in the world did you say that for? 18413 What in the world did you think I would walk from Des Moines for?" |
18413 | What in the world would they ever do without you, Prudence? 18413 What in the world?" |
18413 | What in the world? |
18413 | What is going on to- night? |
18413 | What is the matter, Lark? |
18413 | What is the matter? 18413 What is the matter? |
18413 | What is there about me that you do not like? |
18413 | What is unusual about the circumstances? |
18413 | What kind of a smell? |
18413 | What now? 18413 What''s that got to do with it?" |
18413 | What? |
18413 | What?--Oh!--Which do you want, Jerry? |
18413 | When''s he coming back? |
18413 | When''s that Morley chap coming back? |
18413 | Where did you get this stuff? |
18413 | Where does he live? 18413 Where in the world did you get hold of an idea like that?" |
18413 | Where in the world did you get such an idea as that? |
18413 | Where is he now? |
18413 | Where is your baggage? |
18413 | Where is your umbrella? |
18413 | Where''s Connie? 18413 Which does your father prefer?" |
18413 | Which is your way of saying that you do not like me, is n''t it? |
18413 | Which of your professors do you like best? |
18413 | Who shut that door? |
18413 | Who wrote it? 18413 Who? |
18413 | Whose coat is this, Prudence? |
18413 | Whose? |
18413 | Why are n''t you going to be married? |
18413 | Why did n''t you talk it over with me, Prudence? |
18413 | Why do n''t you? 18413 Why we wanted to make----""You and Lark?" |
18413 | Why, you see, father, Jerry lives with his aunt in Des Moines,--he told you that, did n''t he? 18413 Why? |
18413 | Why? |
18413 | Why? |
18413 | Will five dollars be enough? |
18413 | Will you be warm enough? |
18413 | Will you get the sirup now? |
18413 | Will you kindly jab this into me? |
18413 | Will you loan me twenty dollars until after Christmas, Connie? |
18413 | Will you tell him that Constance Starr wishes to speak to him, privately, and that it is very important? |
18413 | Wo n''t Fairy make us? 18413 Wo n''t Prudence tell you?" |
18413 | Would n''t it be more fun to have the girls in for a little while? |
18413 | Would n''t you like a little nice, hot, oyster stew? |
18413 | Would you have promised, if she had asked it? |
18413 | Yes, and have refreshments for just you two? |
18413 | Yes, and have refreshments for just you two? |
18413 | Yes, may I? 18413 Yes, of course.--When is he coming back?" |
18413 | Yes? |
18413 | You are Miss Starr, are n''t you? |
18413 | You are Mr. Harmer, are n''t you? 18413 You are Mrs. Adams, are n''t you? |
18413 | You see? |
18413 | You''ve been up all night, have n''t you, dearest? |
18413 | You-- did Prudence send you? |
18413 | Your eyes are brown, are n''t they? |
18413 | ''Carol,''said Miss Adams gently,''you forgot yourself, did n''t you?'' |
18413 | A Methodist parsonage is not just in your line, is it?" |
18413 | A little later he said,"Do you mind if I go upstairs and talk to your father a few minutes? |
18413 | And Carol added,"Will you kiss Prudence good night for us, and tell her we kept praying all the time? |
18413 | And Prudence said,''Now, father, on your word of honor, did you knock me down with that ball on purpose?'' |
18413 | And before Prudence was fairly inside the door, she demanded,"What is it? |
18413 | And do you attend the college at Mount Mark? |
18413 | And he said,''I wonder if your sister would n''t go? |
18413 | And if ever I can help with poor little Hattie, will you let me know? |
18413 | And she ca n''t talk about it yet, so be careful what you say, will you?" |
18413 | And this exquisite board?" |
18413 | And what do you suppose the weird creature did with it? |
18413 | And what would the girls say if I should go back on them? |
18413 | And when Connie came to the telephone, she cried,"Oh, you blessed little child, why did n''t you tell me? |
18413 | And when we are better acquainted, will you let me call you Prudence?" |
18413 | And who is Fairy? |
18413 | And why should he be at it so early in the morning? |
18413 | And wo n''t you stay for dinner with us? |
18413 | And you ca n''t be happy without me, can you?" |
18413 | And, do you mind if I just suggest that you go a little slow with Prudence? |
18413 | Are n''t those twins unique? |
18413 | Are n''t you going to give us one?" |
18413 | Are the girls up yet?" |
18413 | Are you coming to stay?" |
18413 | Are you in a very great hurry this afternoon? |
18413 | Are you raising him, too?" |
18413 | Are you referring to this Babbling creature now?" |
18413 | Are you sick? |
18413 | Are your feelings hurt?" |
18413 | Are your feet wet?" |
18413 | As soon as they finished supper, Lark said,"Do n''t you think we''d better go right to bed, Prue? |
18413 | Babbie''s such a giddy scatter- brained youngster, you''d think he''d prefer----""Do you like him, Fairy? |
18413 | Before they went up- stairs, Lark inquired sarcastically:"I suppose, Fairy, you''ll don your best blue silk in honor of this event?" |
18413 | But I guess you are n''t that kind, after all?" |
18413 | But Prudence asked,"Where did you get this money, Connie?" |
18413 | But do n''t you think it only fair that you should give me a chance to try?" |
18413 | But does n''t the snow make you think-- pretty things, Prudence? |
18413 | But her eyes clouded a little as she asked,"Do you think they would rather have Aunt Grace than me?" |
18413 | But how in the world will you get home? |
18413 | But is n''t it a nuisance to have him tagging along home with me, when I might be having such a good time with you and the twins, or father? |
18413 | But is n''t it strange that the prettiest and dearest one of them all should be the oldest daughter?" |
18413 | But it is perfectly glorious to have five hundred dollars, is n''t it? |
18413 | But one simply ca n''t tell beforehand what to expect, can one? |
18413 | But please, Prudence, wo n''t you punish me some way without letting Lark know about it? |
18413 | But she looked so-- heartsick, did n''t she, Fairy?" |
18413 | But the next question,--can you pass a strict physical examination?" |
18413 | But what has happened to my girls? |
18413 | But what has that to do with it? |
18413 | But what of that? |
18413 | But when she reached the top, and peered around her, she found little comfort,--and no desirable company? |
18413 | But why? |
18413 | But you will write to me, wo n''t you?" |
18413 | But, Prudence, you wo n''t let Carol know, will you? |
18413 | But-- doesn''t it seem wrong, father, that-- a girl-- that I-- should love Jerry more than-- you and the girls? |
18413 | CHAPTER XIII SHE ORDERS HER LIFE"Prudence, are you going to Aunt Grace''s early in the summer, or late?" |
18413 | Ca n''t we go somewhere else?" |
18413 | Ca n''t you tell nice, interesting, mild stories?" |
18413 | Ca n''t you wait just five minutes? |
18413 | Can a girl tell a man she prefers to go home with her family, without hurting his feelings? |
18413 | Can you carry her, father?" |
18413 | Carrie''s my twin, and-- oh, father, do n''t you see how it is?" |
18413 | Come now, as you stood at the window there, what were you thinking?" |
18413 | Connie ran in excitedly, wanting to know what was the matter with everybody, and were n''t they to have any luncheon? |
18413 | Could n''t you have pretended to be interested? |
18413 | Dare she trust Lark in such a crisis? |
18413 | Did I ever tell you what Carol said about that kitchen- dining- room- living- room combination at Exminster? |
18413 | Did I judge my children by what was in their hearts, or just by the trouble they made me?" |
18413 | Did n''t God bring us together, and make us love each other? |
18413 | Did the twins ever tell you what happened the first day of school?" |
18413 | Did you call me, Prudence?" |
18413 | Did you ever have a coat like this, Prudence? |
18413 | Did you ever have five hundred dollars before? |
18413 | Did you ever see a rector jumping a three- wire fence, and running full speed across his front yard, in pursuit of a flying family? |
18413 | Did you find out? |
18413 | Did you make any noise coming down the stairs?" |
18413 | Do n''t they talk of their professors at home at all?" |
18413 | Do n''t you like me then, after all?" |
18413 | Do n''t you really think an older woman is needed?" |
18413 | Do n''t you remember the sheep and the goats? |
18413 | Do n''t you remember what Orlando said about Rosalind,--''just as tall as my heart''? |
18413 | Do n''t you see how it is? |
18413 | Do n''t you see it is? |
18413 | Do n''t you think He intended us for each other? |
18413 | Do n''t you think he''s tiresome? |
18413 | Do n''t you think our love for you is big enough to make us happy in seeing you happy? |
18413 | Do n''t you think there is something awe- inspiring in the idea of just turning a little knob on the wall, and flooding a whole room with light? |
18413 | Do n''t you want some more fudge? |
18413 | Do n''t you?" |
18413 | Do you expect the Ladies to look right through it?" |
18413 | Do you get seasick when you climb high?" |
18413 | Do you know what the scholars call Professor Duke?" |
18413 | Do you know where the bottom of that chair has gone?" |
18413 | Do you know which way is nearest to a house? |
18413 | Do you like blue eyes? |
18413 | Do you like riding in a car?" |
18413 | Do you mean to say they have never told you about it?" |
18413 | Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" |
18413 | Do you mind if I move my chair a little closer?" |
18413 | Do you mind if I tie you in, to make assurance doubly sure?" |
18413 | Do you remember how I shoved him away, and shuddered? |
18413 | Do you remember that hill, father? |
18413 | Do you see it?" |
18413 | Do you see? |
18413 | Do you suppose I could wipe my fingers with a handkerchief that had been in one of his pockets?" |
18413 | Do you suppose you can do that, Jerry? |
18413 | Do you think I want an invalid on my hands?" |
18413 | Do you think it would be all right to send Limber- Limb Grant a letter of thanks for it? |
18413 | Do you think it would be all right? |
18413 | Do you think we are as despicable as all that? |
18413 | Do you think we''d better tell Prudence all about it?" |
18413 | Do you think you can let me have it?" |
18413 | Do you want it a little shorter, Connie, or is that about right?" |
18413 | Do you want me to call you Jerry still?" |
18413 | Do you want to come with me?" |
18413 | Do you want to keep us away from her to attend to you?" |
18413 | Do you want to make Carrie worse?" |
18413 | Do you wish you had never met me?" |
18413 | Do you?" |
18413 | Do your friends call you Jerry?" |
18413 | Do-- do you love me so much, my dearest?" |
18413 | Does it pain you very badly? |
18413 | Does n''t he require sleep, as the rest of us do?" |
18413 | Does n''t it seem-- wicked?" |
18413 | Does she seem sorry that I am away? |
18413 | Does your head still ache?" |
18413 | Even Prudence laughed a little at this, but she said,"Why do n''t you scold her?" |
18413 | Every mother there was asking in her heart,"Did I punish my children just for the effect on me? |
18413 | Explain it to the girls, will you?" |
18413 | Fairy sank back, intensely mortified, and Miss Carr chirped brightly:"Oh, Fairy, dear, did you write this little poem? |
18413 | Fairy stifled her laughter with difficulty, and said in a low voice,"Would n''t you like a little nice, hot, oyster stew?" |
18413 | Father''s coat, I mean?" |
18413 | Father, will you put on your black suit, or are you too busy? |
18413 | Five dollars you say you want?" |
18413 | From Des Moines?" |
18413 | Go to bed, wo n''t you, sweetheart? |
18413 | Goodness knows I eat enough-- Why, what is the matter?" |
18413 | Had the awful twins filled it with needles for the reception of the poor Ladies? |
18413 | Harmer?" |
18413 | Harold?" |
18413 | Harold?" |
18413 | Has Connie been in mischief?" |
18413 | Has the parsonage a porch?" |
18413 | Have I ever failed you? |
18413 | Have you been eating? |
18413 | He closed the door after him, did n''t he, Lark?" |
18413 | He offered me his handkerchief to wipe it off? |
18413 | He stepped into the closet, did n''t he, Lark?" |
18413 | Honestly, may I go up to- morrow? |
18413 | How can you think of such sweet little things? |
18413 | How did you get him in the closet? |
18413 | How do they expect parsonage people to keep up appearances when they have n''t any money?" |
18413 | How far is it to Mount Mark? |
18413 | How many times have I told you not to tell weird stories like that? |
18413 | How much will the interest be on five dollars?" |
18413 | How old are you?" |
18413 | I am an abominably solid sleeper, am I not? |
18413 | I do not have to go, do I? |
18413 | I love houses with porches, do n''t you? |
18413 | I thought father had forgotten to take his watch with him, but it was n''t there.--Do you really think it was Sunday he forgot it, Fairy?" |
18413 | I''ll be just at the head of the stairs, and if Prudence wants me, you will call, wo n''t you, Mr. Harmer? |
18413 | I''ll----""Prudence, do you use half milk and half water for creamed tomato soup, or all milk?" |
18413 | I''m not going to get married, so it would be silly to fall in love, would n''t it?" |
18413 | I''m so fond of crackers and milk, are n''t you, Babbie?" |
18413 | I-- I like it better to be with my sisters than----""Than with me? |
18413 | I-- you will be nice to him, wo n''t you?" |
18413 | If I fail them, will they ever trust anybody else? |
18413 | If I make you some soup, will you eat it?" |
18413 | If he commands her?" |
18413 | Imes?" |
18413 | Instantly Connie was asked the all- important question:"Are your feet wet?" |
18413 | Is Jerry coming to spend Christmas with us?" |
18413 | Is anything wrong? |
18413 | Is anything wrong?" |
18413 | Is it my fault?" |
18413 | Is it very awful?" |
18413 | Is it very nice? |
18413 | Is n''t it a beauty?" |
18413 | Is n''t it a funny name, father? |
18413 | Is n''t it about time for the twins to get here, Prudence? |
18413 | Is n''t it nice that we can count on Fairy''s remembering?" |
18413 | Is n''t it pretty? |
18413 | Is n''t that a handsome Venus? |
18413 | Is n''t this a lovely yard? |
18413 | Is that all right? |
18413 | Is that the school over there?" |
18413 | Is that where you live?" |
18413 | Is there any way to turn a person down without letting him know it? |
18413 | Is your father very strict? |
18413 | It comes in very handy right now, does n''t it? |
18413 | It does n''t seem so bad, does it? |
18413 | It is a sad thing to think of a college professor being called Fairy all her life, is n''t it? |
18413 | It must have taken every cent of your money, did n''t it? |
18413 | It was mighty lucky he happened along, was n''t it? |
18413 | It''s a great honor for me to have the privilege of bringing up four clever girls to do great things,--don''t you think? |
18413 | It''s-- do you-- do you notice a-- a funny smell in here? |
18413 | Jerry Harmer, you need me to take care of you, do n''t you?" |
18413 | Leaning forward suddenly, she said,"Miss Starr, why do the twins dislike me?" |
18413 | Let me run up- stairs first, wo n''t you? |
18413 | Let me take it to- morrow morning, will you? |
18413 | Let''s just be friends now, ca n''t we-- until later-- for a long time yet? |
18413 | May I examine your foot?" |
18413 | May I have it? |
18413 | May I keep it? |
18413 | May I open the door, Prudence?" |
18413 | May n''t I read it aloud?" |
18413 | Maybe if you will send me a paper and pencil-- I can write him a note now? |
18413 | Morgan?" |
18413 | Morgan?" |
18413 | Now what are you going to do as a last resort?'' |
18413 | Now what do you reckon he meant by that, Fairy? |
18413 | Now, do not talk too much, Prue, and-- what shall we have for dinner? |
18413 | Now, why? |
18413 | Now, will I dare to come back to- morrow if I stay for dinner to- night? |
18413 | Now,--oh, Fairy, did you remember to dust the back of the dresser in our bedroom?" |
18413 | Of course, the reporters can practise balancing them scientifically,--but how does it happen that they always have aquiline noses? |
18413 | Oh, Connie, wo n''t you turn the clock a little this way, so I can see it? |
18413 | Oh, it does look nice, does n''t it, Fairy? |
18413 | Oh, that''s Christian Science, is n''t it? |
18413 | Oh, what is it?" |
18413 | On my right side, Fairy, do you understand what that means? |
18413 | Or am I imagining it? |
18413 | Professor likes women to be dignified and intellectual and deep, and----""Then why on earth did he ask me to go?" |
18413 | Prudence knows it, but she did not make me promise to quit that?" |
18413 | Red crosses make a very pretty decoration, do n''t you think they do, Lark?" |
18413 | Shall I get the maple sirup for the pancakes? |
18413 | She''s as bad as the priest and Levite, is n''t she?" |
18413 | Should they go farther? |
18413 | So I said,''Do you mean Prudence, or one of the twins?'' |
18413 | Something was hurting them, but whether it was their fear of the wrath of Prudence, or the twinges of tender consciences,--who can say? |
18413 | Sometime will you let me ride your wheel?" |
18413 | Suppose you should see a blackbird running a race down the street with a sparrow, what would you call it?'' |
18413 | Thank you, Lark,--isn''t it a pretty handkerchief? |
18413 | That he should come first? |
18413 | The Ladies smiled, and Miss Carr, laughing lightly, said,"She is an attentive creature, is n''t she?" |
18413 | The boy could n''t imagine, and professor said,''What would you call that, Carol?'' |
18413 | The parables, for instance,--what are they? |
18413 | The question is, What shall it be?" |
18413 | The soup is ready, and piping hot,--but what is it you want me to say?" |
18413 | The very best and closest of friends?" |
18413 | The what?" |
18413 | Then as Prudence rose to go home, she asked eagerly,"Do you think the twins will like me now?" |
18413 | Then as he turned toward the door, he asked carelessly,"Is he very good- looking, Prudence?" |
18413 | Then he said,''Now, Carol, if I was the king''s eldest son, what would you call me?'' |
18413 | Then leaning forward:"What do you do, Miss Avery, when you meet people you dislike at very first sight?" |
18413 | Then said Prudence, seemingly of her own free will, but really directed by an all- controlling Providence,"Is n''t it great fun to ride a bicycle? |
18413 | Then she added rather shyly,"Fairy, are you ashamed of me sometimes? |
18413 | Then she inquired in a low voice,"Did you tell him why you wanted it?" |
18413 | Then she said significantly,"I suppose you are going to divide with us?" |
18413 | Then with the admirable board beneath my arm, I mount to the heights of-- Say, twins, did n''t I see an old buggy seat out in the barn to- day? |
18413 | Then you must come to the door and say,''Would n''t you like a little oyster stew?'' |
18413 | Then,"Did you send him anything, Prue?" |
18413 | There is school to- morrow, is n''t there?" |
18413 | There''s no use waiting, is there? |
18413 | They were exasperating, and humiliating, too, but what did they do that was really mean? |
18413 | They will tell you if you ask them, wo n''t they?" |
18413 | This is almost bordering on talent, is n''t it? |
18413 | Us?" |
18413 | Was she complaining about us? |
18413 | Was the ride very hard on your ankle?" |
18413 | We are, are n''t we? |
18413 | We ask her,"What if you had not gone out for a ride that morning?" |
18413 | We did it for a good purpose, do n''t you see we did? |
18413 | Well, she asked us a riddle,''When is a dining- room not a dining- room?'' |
18413 | What are you going to do?'' |
18413 | What are you talking about?" |
18413 | What do you care about college?" |
18413 | What do you suppose could have sent the lover away like that?" |
18413 | What does it smell like?" |
18413 | What had Miss Allen told their sister? |
18413 | What have I done? |
18413 | What have they been doing? |
18413 | What have they done to- day? |
18413 | What in the world do you want the back of the dresser dusted for? |
18413 | What in the world had happened to separate in the morning these two who had been kissing so frankly in the back yard the evening before? |
18413 | What in the world has she done?" |
18413 | What in the world is that?" |
18413 | What is his line?" |
18413 | What is the matter? |
18413 | What matter? |
18413 | What shall I do?" |
18413 | What shall we have?" |
18413 | What time is it, Fairy?" |
18413 | What was he doing in the hickory grove?" |
18413 | What was her errand? |
18413 | What was it you said?" |
18413 | What will they do when you get married?" |
18413 | What would etiquette think of her, after this? |
18413 | What would the-- others do without you? |
18413 | What''s the job?" |
18413 | What, then, was the explanation? |
18413 | What----""I forget what you told me to say,"whispered Prudence wretchedly,"what was it? |
18413 | Whatever had they been doing now? |
18413 | When the college girls are here, and you are all talking so brilliantly, are n''t you kind of mortified that I am so stupid and dull? |
18413 | Where are they? |
18413 | Where did it come from?" |
18413 | Where did you get it?" |
18413 | Where''s the money?" |
18413 | Who could have sense on such a day, with such a girl as this? |
18413 | Who would keep the parsonage? |
18413 | Who would look after you?" |
18413 | Who would raise the girls? |
18413 | Why am I always so ravenously hungry in the morning? |
18413 | Why are you all hugging the register, may I ask? |
18413 | Why are you staying away?" |
18413 | Why did n''t you call me? |
18413 | Why do n''t they keep their pledges? |
18413 | Why do n''t they pay for their religion?" |
18413 | Why do n''t you mind me, and do as I tell you? |
18413 | Why do n''t you sit still? |
18413 | Why do they call it Mount Mark?" |
18413 | Why in the world did n''t you tell us beforehand?" |
18413 | Why was Lark going upstairs? |
18413 | Why wo n''t the twins give me a chance? |
18413 | Why, then, do you go back on me now, when you really need me?" |
18413 | Why? |
18413 | Why?" |
18413 | Will that be all right? |
18413 | Will you be down soon?" |
18413 | Will you carry me in?" |
18413 | Will you come in?" |
18413 | Will you do it? |
18413 | Will you do that, twinnies?" |
18413 | Will you do that?" |
18413 | Will you do this for me?" |
18413 | Will you eat in the dining- room?" |
18413 | Will you forgive me, Connie? |
18413 | Will you forgive me? |
18413 | Will you promise?" |
18413 | Wo n''t it be a good joke on her?" |
18413 | Wo n''t that be better?" |
18413 | Wo n''t that do?" |
18413 | Wo n''t that do?" |
18413 | Wo n''t they break your pledge if you leave them out?" |
18413 | Wo n''t you be a good girl now, and not make sister feel badly about it? |
18413 | Would I ever go to bed without making sure that Connie was safe and sound?" |
18413 | Would n''t Connie say that was disgracing the parsonage?" |
18413 | Would n''t it be glorious?" |
18413 | Would n''t the twins have laughed? |
18413 | Would that be just or fair? |
18413 | Would you keep these pearls on, Fairy, or would you take them off?" |
18413 | Would your father let you spend a week? |
18413 | You are the soul of the parsonage, are n''t you?" |
18413 | You call me Jerry, will you?" |
18413 | You know I didn''t!--But-- maybe Jerry wo n''t forgive me now?" |
18413 | You know what an atheist is, do n''t you? |
18413 | You know what heresy is, do n''t you? |
18413 | You might get cross, and take them away from me.--Did you go to college?" |
18413 | You see, father, I really feel that this is a crisis in the life of the parsonage----""How long does a parsonage usually live?" |
18413 | You want me to call you Jerry, do n''t you?" |
18413 | You will stay, wo n''t you?" |
18413 | You''re Mr. Starr, the Methodist minister at Mount Mark, are n''t you?" |
18413 | You''re not just fooling me, are you? |
18413 | You''ve never had a vacation in your life, and father promised Aunt Grace on his reputation as a minister, did n''t you, papa?" |
18413 | [ Illustration:"Yes, and have refreshments for just you two?"] |
18413 | are you asleep?" |
