53390Where, oh, where, did you get that?
53390Who were those fellows, Motor Matt?
53390Who''s there?
53390Who''s there?
53390Why did n''t he use the glass balls and take the note away from us while we were down and out?
53390Why did you leave them in Purling?
53390Why do n''t you follow them?
53390Why should he want to do that?
53390Why were you coming here to see me?
53390Ye''d rather be sent to Davy Jones''locker, I suppose?
53390You are here to be of aid to the unfortunate mandarin, are you not, illustrious sirs?
53390You do n''t think--and here McGlory assumed a tragic look--"that Tsan would go off into the timber and use that yellow cord, do you?"
53390You picked up the trail?
53390You say the man from below passed_ two_ Chinamen talking near the car?
53390You''re from up the mountain, are you?
53390You''re planning on that, are you? 53390 _ Thinks_ we''re crazy?"
53390Am I not right, honorable friend?"
53390And how can we help you if you are not open and aboveboard with us?"
53390And the other hatchet boy that brought the yellow cord?
53390And what''s it all about?
53390Anyhow, what do you care?
53390Are ye sailin''in company with that chink we passed a ways back on our course?"
53390Are you going to that Purling place and ask for Pryne at the general store?"
53390Are you the fellows?"
53390Are you willing to talk sense?
53390But did he let us get our hands on the coin?
53390But-- but,"and Matt''s voice wavered,"how did we get here?"
53390Button, button, who''s got the button?
53390By the way, where_ is_ Goldstein?"
53390Could it be possible that the mandarin, cast down by his latest accident, was on the point of carrying out the mandate of the regent?
53390Do you know?"
53390Do you reckon old One Eye has found out, yet, how you juggled the notes on him?"
53390Do you think the_ hombre_ was this Grattan sharp?"
53390Do you?"
53390Grattan?"
53390Have you any notion he coaxed the mandarin away on important business?"
53390Here in these hills is where Rip Van Winkle went to sleep, ai n''t it?
53390How could we have missed it?"
53390How is this?"
53390How much farther have we got to go?"
53390How much farther is it yet?"
53390I reckon, though, you''ll want to stay here and give him a chance to blow in?"
53390If he''d known we had the note, why did n''t he stop and palaver about it?"
53390Is it well, excellent one?"
53390It sounds flat enough, and if the webfoot tells us we''re crazy, and gives us the laugh, what''re we going to do?"
53390Kinder keep an eye on it, will you?"
53390Make an offhand demand for the Eye of Buddha?
53390Noble and affluent sir, will it be insult should I offer one thousand dollars and expenses if I get my wish for your most remarkable help?
53390Now bear down on your soft pedal, will you?"
53390Now, if all that''s true, then where, in the name of the great hocus- pocus, is the fat Chinaman?"
53390Otherwise, how is it these backsets keep happening in one, two, three order?
53390Pryne?"
53390Say, did n''t we come all the way from Michigan to help him?
53390Shall we go on to the hotel?
53390Shall we now proceed down the mountain in pursuit of the sailor?"
53390Suppose One- Eye do n''t think enough of his cap to come back for it?"
53390Think chink number two was Kien Lung with another yellow cord, Matt?"
53390Was n''t it clever the way I put on them scarecrow fixin''s in the cornfield?"
53390Was that a rhinecaboo or the real thing?"
53390We were n''t going more than a hundred and twenty miles an hour when we hit that tree, so how could I possibly have suffered any damage?
53390Well, let me know about that, will you?"
53390Well, what are you intending to do?
53390What do you say to a rest?"
53390What do you say, Matt?
53390What excuse was there for such a deception?
53390What is it to you whether them hoodlums git away or not?"
53390What kind of a brain- storm are we going through,_ any_how?"
53390What says the great Confucius?
53390What was the good of paying any attention to that letter, in the first place?"
53390What you looking at that wheel for, Matt?"
53390What''ll happen?
53390What''re you side- stepping for about a little thing like that?
53390What''s become of Tsan Ti?
53390What''s jocosity, Matt?"
53390What''s that on the hat ribbon?"
53390What''s the answer?"
53390What''s the good of all this strain we''ve taken upon ourselves?
53390What''s the good?
53390What''s the use of brains, pard, if you do n''t use''em?"
53390Where are the other four?"
53390Where are the other two?"
53390Where in the world was McGlory?
53390Where next?"
53390Where was Tsan Ti?
53390While Matt was running down the Eye of Buddha for him, what was the Chinaman, to whom the recovery of the ruby meant so much, doing?
53390Who''re you?"
53390Who''s in there with you?"
53390Why did he throw the glass balls at us?
53390Why did n''t they come?
53390Why did you vanish from the mountainside after we had been left to chase the one- eyed sailor?
53390Why is n''t he here?"
53390_ When_ will we ever acquire a proper amount of horse sense for a couple of our size?
53390he muttered,"or is that really Tsan Ti coming this way?"
53390sneered Jackson,"what do you know about cars?"
47179After that,said he,"you were afraid the machine might be tampered with, and so you came here and stayed all night?"
47179Ai n''t I the bright boy, though? 47179 And if they''re only hung up for two or three minutes they''ll catch us?"

47179So your name is King,he asked,"Matt King?"
47179That fellow is n''t Tomlinson, you say?
47179The hut is on the left side of the road?
47179The question is, Carl, how did that letter get under the rubber mat in the tonneau of the Red Flier? 47179 They did n''t try to take it away from him in Ash Fork?"
47179Think so?

47179What are you doing in Ash Fork?
47179What are you going to do there?
47179What are you going to do, King?
47179What are you going to do?
47179What are you mutts trying to do?
47179What became of-- er-- Tomlinson?
47179What can I do to get clear of this?
47179What d''ye think o''that, Hank?
47179What did you ask me that for?
47179What do you know about cylinders?
47179What do you take me for? 47179 What do you think of that, Gregory?
47179What do you think of this lay out, Carl?
47179What do you want to knock a partner like this for, Dutch?
47179What do you want?
47179What if Hank and Spang come along?
47179What notices?
47179What object would they have in coming here?
47179What were you doing in Flagstaff?
47179What''ll we do?
47179What''s our pace?
47179What''s the trouble here?
47179Where did you find that out?
47179Where do we go after leaving Flagstaff?
47179Where is it? 47179 Where were you and Pringle at the time?"
47179Where''bouts was this?
47179Where''d that note come from?
47179Which way now, Pringle?
47179Who are you?
47179Who is he? 47179 Who vas dem fellers, anyvay, und vat vas der mix- oop aboudt?"
47179Who''s Tomlinson?
47179Who''s Trymore, James Trymore?
47179Who''s got a revolver?
47179Who''s there-- a''Pongwe?
47179Why did n''t you send the pearls to Denver by express, after you got them in Yuma?
47179Why is he unconscious?
47179Why should any one want to cut a car like this adrift?
47179Wienerwurst, hey?
47179Will it put me in deeper, or help me out?
47179You ca n''t give them the slip on a straightaway run, can you?
47179You cut loose from Wienerwurst, hey? 47179 You findt der moofing pag, hey?"
47179You lif in Ash Fork?
47179You say he had the bag?
47179You say that by a stroke of luck you were able to get my pearls and find out where I had been left? 47179 You seen anything of a green bag?"
47179You t''ink he knows somet''ing aboudt dot?
47179You''re going to Denver, you say?
47179You-- you have come to release us?
47179_ He_?
47179_ Now_ who''s played it low- down on us?
47179A friend of yours?"
47179And if he was the one who put it there, why did those men come after it?"
47179And what was the use of it all, now that Tomlinson had got away with the pearls?
47179And what would it reveal?
47179And where were their horses?
47179And where''s my new runabout?
47179And_ where_ was the owner?
47179Any bullets in the gun, Carl?"
47179But I reckon you was a bit fooled yourself, eh?"
47179But how could they hope to win that race, with a better car against them?
47179But where was that man?
47179But who are you, young man?"
47179But why had they made it, now that Tomlinson was not with the car?
47179Can you tell me vere dot feller iss?"
47179Could he do it?
47179Der furder vat ve go, der less vat ve know, hey?
47179Did n''t you hear what Hank and I said to each other, a few minutes ago, Carl?"
47179Did you ever see anything neater than that?
47179Don''d he vas der vorst pad egg vat you efer see?"
47179Dose two fellers vas de vones vat dry to rop der car, hey?"
47179For vy iss i d, Matt?"
47179Funny, ai n''t dot?
47179Going to frisk me for it?"
47179Hey, Matt?"
47179How about having one, all around?"
47179How did the robbers know I had them?
47179How is the man now?"
47179How much do I owe you, doctor?"
47179How ve do anyt''ing ven ve shday here mit der car?
47179How ve ketch dem, hey?"
47179How ve know dot undil ve findt it oudt?"
47179How you like dot, hey?
47179How you make dot figuring, anyvay?
47179How''d you hear about him?"
47179How''d you like a job of that kind?"
47179How''ll it be if I meet you in Brockville, after I get away, and we hit up Needles with the sketch?
47179I think he''s entitled to something, do n''t you?"
47179Is it a go?"
47179Is the doctor in?"
47179Is the driver making a play, or has something really slipped a cog?
47179Is the spiel worth anything?"
47179Is there a boy who has not longed to possess one of these swift little machines that scud about the roads everywhere throughout the United States?
47179Is there a boy, therefore, who will not be intensely interested in the adventures of"Motor Matt,"as he is familiarly called by his comrades?
47179Meppy he vas expecding drouble?"
47179Now, if Trymore had that letter, and if he and Pringle were the robbers, how could the letter get out of Trymore''s pocket and into the car?
47179Oof fife t''ousant tollars comes rolling indo our hants, all py itseluf, for vy should n''t ve be jeerful?"
47179Oof he vas too veak to shtay py der car, how he tie der veel like vat it vas?"
47179Page 12, changed?
47179See that gap up there?"
47179See?
47179See?"
47179The address was evidence enough that the letter did not belong to Tomlinson; but, if not, how did it happen to be in the car?
47179The question was, did Denny have the pearls in his clothes, or had he hid''em around the automobile?
47179Then, to throw us into that miserable hovel as though we were dogs?
47179They''d make a nice picture running through town, Hank with a gun at the driver''s head, would n''t they?
47179Tomlinson?"
47179Und I, in der jeerful vay vat I haf, make some remarks aboudt''Vy nod?''"
47179Und how dit Drymore ged der audomopile?"
47179Understand?
47179Understand?"

47179Vat you t''ink, Matt?"
47179Vat''s your name, hey?"
47179Vell, I vas more oof a hot tamale as dot, hey?"

47179Vill you send my shtuff py Tenver?"
47179Vy did n''t dey shdeal dot, hey?
47179Waal, would n''t that rattle yer spurs?"
47179What do you say?
47179What do you think of that?"
47179What else could we do?
47179What''s the use of keeping me tied any longer?
47179What''s the use of letting Hank and Spang in on a good thing when we could have it all to ourselves?
47179Where''s Hank?"
47179Where''s the Dutchman?"
47179While all this fighting was going on for the possession of the pearls, what had become of James Q. Tomlinson, of Denver?
47179Who was the owner?
47179Who you fellers vas?
47179Why should a letter addressed to a Denver crook be in Mr. Tomlinson''s car?
47179Why should he give so much attention to the fellow when the man he and Spangler wanted most was still on the mountainside?
47179Why should they, if it belonged to him?"
47179Why was such a valuable machine loose in the road?
47179Wonder what they wanted here?"
47179You ai n''t going to hog the whole business, are you?"
47179You bought the pearls from a Mexican who came to Yuma from La Paz?"
47179You check der trunk, hey?"
47179You t''ink ve pedder shday righdt here, Matt?"
47179You was n''t hurt very bad, eh?"
53533''I wonder is he dead?'' 53533 ''Will I fire at it?''
53533''You know your orders, do n''t you?'' 53533 About what time was the car stolen?"
53533Ai n''t dat a mos''''sprisin''purceedin''? 53533 Ai n''t dat scan''lous?"
53533And you are a prisoner?
53533And you lost it while I was chasing you?
53533Are those motor cycles the ones that belong to Martin, that were stolen from us and that we bled a hundred and fifty apiece for?
53533Blue car? 53533 But how do you know Tsan Ti is on that train?"
53533But what can Grattan do? 53533 Ca n''t you be a man?
53533Can you drive a motor car, Matt?
53533Did Grattan and Bunce capture the other car?
53533Did n''t Grattan search him?
53533Did n''t I tell you? 53533 Did n''t you hear what was said when the motor boys passed us?"
53533Do n''t I look the part?
53533Do you know positively that Grattan and Pardo are following the car?
53533Do you think Tige can watch two prisoners?
53533Does dat''ar thing b''long tuh yo'', boss?
53533Generous and agreeable friend,spoke up Tsan Ti,"did you succeed in capturing Sam Wing?"
53533Grattan and Pardo?
53533Has he been up tuh somefin''dat he had n''t ort?
53533Has he told you about the ruby, Tsan Ti?
53533Has n''t he got the ruby?
53533Have you a knife, illustrious youth?
53533Hocused it?
53533How are we going to get to Gardenville?
53533How can you tell the difference?
53533How did that happen? 53533 How did you happen to find me?"
53533How far down the road am I to go, pard?
53533How much of a start has the Chinaman got?
53533How was it lost?
53533How you savvy?
53533How, in the name o''Davy Jones,he cried, his gaze returning to Matt,"do you happen to be cruisin''in these waters?"
53533How?
53533I''m ready,was the prompt response,"but will we go?"
53533If Grattan and Pardo are really following you,said Matt,"why could n''t you go back down the road, stop the car, and pretend you had a breakdown?"
53533If we take the_ Iris_----?
53533If what?
53533Is n''t the theft of the ruby enough to send you to jail?
53533Is that the New York man''s automobile, Joe?
53533Is that the idol''s eye, Matt?
53533Is this what ye call treatin''a feller white? 53533 Jee- whillikins, mister,"said he,"what''s that slant- eyed heathen been up to, hey?
53533Looks purty meachin'', do n''t he?
53533Lost it?
53533Lost, eh?
53533Lost?
53533Matter- of- fact youth,remarked the mandarin earnestly,"do you not realize how strange events happen swiftly in the wake of the Eye of Buddha?
53533Matter?
53533Maybe,suggested McGlory,"I''d better head the car t''other way?
53533Not safe?
53533Oh, friend of my friend,wheezed Tsan Ti, passing his gaze to McGlory,"was it you who shouted?"
53533Oh, that''s what your chum did, eh?
53533Remember Monte Cristo like that, pard?
53533Say, pard,he added, turning to Matt,"do you know a spark- plug from the carburetor?"
53533Shocked?
53533Somebody want us to run an air ship or go to sea in a submarine?
53533Something else on your mind?
53533Square?
53533Suppose you and Gridly get into the tonneau,suggested Matt,"and leave Boggs, and me, and the dog to hide in the bushes at the edge of the marsh?
53533That''s possible, of course; but the chances for success, though slight, are worth waiting and working for, do n''t you think? 53533 Then may I request of you the Eye of Buddha?"
53533This is your work, is it, Motor Matt?
53533Want to take the breath all out of me?
53533Was n''t Tsan Ti on the train?
53533Was one of the thieves supposed to be a sailor with a green patch over one eye?
53533Well?
53533What are the facts, Martin?
53533What are you doing out here in the woods?
53533What are you thinking of, McGlory?
53533What can I do for you, Neb?
53533What chance is there of our receiving a letter from the mandarin? 53533 What cheering thoughts can I possibly have?"
53533What did the other thief look like?
53533What did you find, Neb?
53533What did you jump onto me for like this? 53533 What difference does that make, Joe?"
53533What good will that do?
53533What is he roped for?
53533What is it?
53533What is the fault with my plan, generous sir?
53533What luck, Zeke?
53533What shall we do with Sam Wing?
53533What sort of a trap?
53533What sort of clue is taking us to Gardenville?
53533What yew goin''to do, friend?
53533What you yellin''for? 53533 What''re you doin''here?
53533What''s that place ahead there?
53533What''s that you say, Bib? 53533 What''s the matter with you, Grattan?"
53533What''s the matter, Joe?
53533What''s the matter?
53533What''s the matter?
53533What''s the number?
53533What''s the use of chasing the chink?
53533What''s to be done with the two Chinamen?
53533What''s to pay?
53533What''ve I done that ye can send me to the brig for? 53533 Where and how was the ruby lost?"
53533Where did you and Grattan come from, Bunce, that you were placed so handily for entrapping McGlory and the mandarin?
53533Where did you find Joe and Martin? 53533 Where did you have it?"
53533Where does the clue lead?
53533Where have you been since you took the ruby?
53533Where is it?
53533Where is the chink?
53533Where was the car you and Bunce stole from the Catskill garage?
53533Where were you,went on the cowboy,"when you hailed the man in the white car?"
53533Where''s Tsan Ti and the ruby?
53533Where''s the pocket, Bunce?
53533Who can tell of that? 53533 Who was the_ hombre_, Grattan?"
53533Who''s it from?
53533Whut''s dat he''s er- sayin''tuh me?
53533Why did n''t he send the thief over the road?
53533Why did n''t you take his knife away from him? 53533 Why is n''t it safe?"
53533Why not turn him loose, an''then follow him?
53533Why not?
53533Why not?
53533Why not?
53533Why not?
53533Would n''t this rattle your spurs, Matt?
53533Wrong in the upper story, ai n''t he?
53533You are sure there were no more than two of the thieves?
53533You chasin''dat''ar Chinymum, boss?
53533You found that red jewel at the edge of the bridge, you say, Neb?
53533You had the ruby when you were at the spring?
53533You know how to manage a motor cycle?
53533You think Grattan has gone to Gardenville to intercept Tsan Ti?
53533You took it from the mandarin, did n''t you?
53533You''re the man who was on duty when the automobile was stolen?
53533You''re to get five hundred dollars for recovering the car?
53533_ Can_ he?
53533_ Now_ what? 53533 Ai n''t dat fine? 53533 And why were you chasing him?
53533Any one around?
53533Are Motor Matt and Pard McGlory mixed up in that''we''?"
53533Are you going down the river with me, pard, or have I got to go alone?"
53533Are you going?"
53533But just answer me this: What''s the good of escaping?
53533But what sort of a trap is it?"
53533But which way am I to go?"
53533By golly, whaffur kind ob way is dat tuh treat an ole moke lak me?"
53533Ca n''t a heathen like you let a Christian sleep?
53533Can you take me to this''pocket,''as you call it?"
53533Did n''t you ever stop to think, Martin, that, off and on, the motor boys might have troubles of their own?"
53533Did you see a blue car?"
53533Do n''t you know Matt, that whenever you dream about a person with red hair, trouble''s on the pike and you''ve got up your little red flag?"
53533Do you know him, Motor Matt?"
53533Do you want to take the mandarin with you in the roadster, Matt?"
53533Face the music, ca n''t you?
53533Have you any notion which way that car ought to go?"
53533Have you hid the lantern, Bunce?"
53533How could he, a miserable bazaar man, fight the demons?
53533How in blazes did old Tsan Ti get the thing back to us?
53533How much do you think that ruby''s worth?"
53533How_ could_ he have returned it when, as Matt and McGlory believed, he was at that very moment hurrying to get out of the country and escape the law?
53533Huh?"
53533I think it would work, pard, but who''s to hide in the tonneau?
53533If you''re so plumb certain he wo n''t write, why not promise?"
53533Is not my present distress sufficient, without any of your unwelcome attentions?
53533Is that fat chink the one that come from Chiny to get holt of the idol''s eye?"
53533Is the matter clear, esteemed friend?"
53533Is we squar''now, boss?"
53533Look there, will yew?"
53533Martin?"
53533Maybe you''ve heard of Motor Matt?"
53533Nervy, but it wo n''t wash.""Where''d the car fall into your hands if you ai n''t the ones that stole it?"
53533Ready for New York in the morning, Joe?"
53533Say,_ did n''t_ I?
53533Some remarkable now, ai n''t it?"
53533Tell me, my lad, are you and Motor Matt looking for Tsan Ti?"
53533The Confederate seemed to read me through, for he said:"''Well, Yank, have you got enough water?''
53533The question now was, did a similar waterway exist at the northern end?
53533Think we''re far enough?"
53533What I want to know is, where have you and the mandarin come from?
53533What d''ye say, mate?
53533What good is it going to do you?"
53533What happened to you after Sam Wing stole the ruby?"
53533What have you been doing since we went two different ways from the spring?"
53533What if his ancestors were regarding him, looking out of the vastness of the life to come with stern disapproval?
53533What is dat thing, anyhow?
53533What more can you do to make me miserable?"
53533What sort of a car was it that was stolen?"
53533What were Sam Wing''s forefathers thinking of this act of vile treachery?
53533What''s happened to them?"
53533What''s hit him now?"
53533What''s the fat Chinaman doin''?"
53533What''s the trouble with it?"
53533What''s the word?"
53533Where are they now?
53533Where are we bound for, gentlemen?"
53533Where are you, pard?"
53533Where did you pick up the mandarin, Grattan?"
53533Where''s Matt?"
53533Where''s your nerve, Pardo?"
53533Which is the mandarin that got robbed of the ruby?"
53533Who was Sam Wing that he should defy these ten thousand demons of misfortune?
53533Whoever thought this could happen?
53533Why did Tsan Ti get off the train at Gardenville when he was going to Buffalo?
53533Why not crank up the automobile''s engine and rush down the ravine?
53533Why should Grattan have returned the box to Matt?
53533Will it insult you if I offer, of my goodness of heart, five hundred dollars?"
53533Will you answer a civil question, my lad?"
53533Will you go along?"
53533You know these hills?"
53533You takee money, lettee Sam Wing go?"
53533You''re the boy to look out for Number One, eh?
53533You, for one, of course, but who else?"
53533asked Matt,"the one that was stolen from Martin''s garage last night?''
53533chuckled McGlory,"what sort of a day''s work would you call this, pard?
53533he shouted at last,"is this a dream, or the real thing?
34369And just what difference does it make?
34369And now you''ve had a piece of good luck?
34369And what are your orders?
34369And where did she claim to have found this document?
34369And why should n''t I?
34369And you expect us to take that?
34369Any luck?
34369Are they trying to break down the door?
34369Are you hurt?
34369Are you hurt?
34369Are you sure there was a will?
34369Are you sure?
34369Are you the caretaker of this house?
34369But how does it happen you know the combination of the safe?
34369But of course we can have the room?
34369But what can I do except to obey the letter and visit the property?
34369But what can I do?
34369But what else is there to be afraid of?
34369But what purpose can he have in playing such pranks?
34369But where can it be hidden?
34369But who could be so mean, Dad? 34369 But who do you suppose conceived such a plan?"
34369But wo n''t that inconvenience both of you?
34369By the way, do you know where I could get a picture of Jacob Winters?
34369By the way, how do you explain the will made out in your favor?
34369By the way, what became of the newspaper today? 34369 Can I reach Brookport by train or bus?"
34369Come back and see us often, wo n''t you?
34369Could n''t we go to a hotel and come back in the morning? 34369 Dad, how did you get here?"
34369Did it strike you as queer the way Mrs. Leeds acted when I mentioned we were going to Raven Ridge tomorrow?
34369Did you have any luck today?
34369Did you know Jacob Winters well?
34369Did you leave milk at our doorstep this morning?
34369Did you never see him?
34369Did you notice his appearance?
34369Did you really think the will was genuine, Penny?
34369Did you say Raven Ridge?
34369Did you say you were going to Raven Ridge?
34369Did you think it was the will?
34369Do n''t you think it might advertise that we''ve discovered this tunnel? 34369 Do n''t you want to go?"
34369Do you hear the same thing I do?
34369Do you live near here?
34369Do you mean to suggest that Alicia and I are not related to Jacob Winters?
34369Do you still want to go through with the plan?
34369Do you think Mrs. Leeds could have picked it up?
34369Do you think he''ll ever produce the photo?
34369Do you think she would resort to such a trick?
34369Do you think they''ll look all right with my red party frock?
34369Do you think we could be in an abandoned ore mine?
34369Has that car of yours broken down again?
34369Have n''t you anything better than this?
34369Hello, what''s the big hurry?
34369Honestly?
34369How did the organist reach the third floor if he did n''t pass through this door?
34369How did you get wind that Mr. Winters''ivories were kept in the house?
34369How did you happen to construct it?
34369How do you suppose it came to be there?
34369How should I know?
34369How would you like to take a little trip?
34369How?
34369I came to find out what you mean by entering Mr. Winters''house when he''s away?
34369I did n''t say so, did I? 34369 I mean, what are you doing in this house?"
34369I suppose it is nothing but a joke,Rosanna acknowledged,"and yet why should a key be enclosed in the letter?"
34369I suppose you thought it was n''t robbery when you decided to cheat Rosanna Winters out of her inheritance?
34369I suppose you were the ghost, Max?
34369I think it would be nice, do n''t you?
34369I wonder how old the girl is? 34369 I wonder if Raven Ridge will be as pretty as this?"
34369I wonder if by any chance she could have picked up your letter and key?
34369I wonder if it could have been that man who passed us on the road?
34369I wonder what Mrs. Leeds and Laponi were up to?
34369I wonder what evidence she referred to?
34369I wonder what got into him all at once?
34369I wonder why Caleb and Max Laponi were going at each other in such dreadful fashion?
34369If Mr. Eckert ca n''t tell us what became of my uncle, who could?
34369If you ca n''t produce the letter or the key, what proof have you that you actually are Jacob Winters''niece?
34369If you did n''t have a key how did you get into the house?
34369Including me?
34369Is Dad home yet?
34369Is he a known criminal?
34369It isn''t-- you do n''t think the house is haunted?
34369Ivories?
34369Jacob Winters is dead is n''t he? 34369 Just what is it that you want me to do?"
34369Just what is your proposition?
34369Locked?
34369May I ask where you found it?
34369May I see the letter which you say you received?
34369Miss Winters, may I speak with you a moment?
34369Mr. Laponi, has this girl lost her senses?
34369Must we stay here tonight?
34369Names?
34369No?
34369Now what shall we do?
34369Now what?
34369Oh, so you read about it?
34369Out early this morning, are n''t you?
34369Penny, what do you intend to do with that weapon?
34369Penny, where did you get that thing?
34369Placed there deliberately, you think?
34369Pray what do you find that is so humorous?
34369Queer noises?
34369See anything?
34369See anything?
34369Shall I call Mrs. Leeds and Alicia?
34369Shall we go on to Andover or stop at the Winters''house?
34369Should n''t we turn back?
34369Sleep well?
34369Sleep well?
34369So you have n''t got it?
34369So you noticed it too?
34369So you''re old Jacob Winters''niece?
34369Tell me, did you ever hear of a lawyer by the name of Elfhedge with an office at Brookport?
34369Tell me, is n''t there a pipe organ on the third floor of Mr. Winters''house?
34369Tell me, is that where old Winters hid his ivory collection?
34369Tell me, why did you write the letters?
34369The mysterious ghost?
34369The will?
34369The will?
34369Then why do you go up there again?
34369Then why were you upstairs at this time of night? 34369 Then you believe he is the one who has been frightening the household by playing on the pipe organ?"
34369Then you did get my wire?
34369Then you have n''t a key?
34369Then you heard it too?
34369They''re three dollars, are n''t they?
34369To see if your name was mentioned?
34369To watch for the ghost?
34369Trying to steal the Winters''booty, were you?
34369Visitors?
34369Want to come along?
34369Was he driving a gray coupà ©?
34369Well, what do you think of it?
34369Well, what is it you want to know this time?
34369Well, what is it you want to know?
34369Well, what''s wrong with the idea?
34369Well, why do n''t you look at it then?
34369What are you doing here, may I ask?
34369What are you doing in my house?
34369What are you going to do?
34369What became of that man who knocked me down?
34369What became of the collection?
34369What can I do? 34369 What did he collect?"
34369What did he look like?
34369What did you mean by asking about a paper she had burned?
34369What do you mean?
34369What do you want of a picture?
34369What do you want?
34369What else can we do?
34369What frightened you so?
34369What ghost?
34369What if something should happen?
34369What if we should run into that dreadful man-- the organist?
34369What is going on here?
34369What is it?
34369What is it?
34369What is it?
34369What is the meaning of this outrage?
34369What is the meaning of this?
34369What is?
34369What makes you think that? 34369 What makes you think that?"
34369What of the document I found in the drawer of the desk?
34369What other room can you give us then?
34369What place are you looking for?
34369What right have you to say what is to be done here? 34369 What shall we do?"
34369What sort of information?
34369What things?
34369What time is it?
34369What was that you said?
34369What were you saying?
34369What''s that?
34369What''s this?
34369What?
34369What?
34369When do we start for the station?
34369When do we start?
34369When will you send the wire?
34369Where are we to sleep?
34369Where are you going?
34369Where are you?
34369Where do you suppose he went?
34369Where do you suppose we''re going anyway?
34369Where will we go?
34369Where?
34369Who can it be?
34369Why did n''t you call in the police?
34369Why did n''t you send him away at once?
34369Why did you do that?
34369Why did you lock us out?
34369Why does n''t it open?
34369Why not leave this place today?
34369Why not visit this lawyer and have a talk with him? 34369 Why not?"
34369Why should I have a key?
34369Why should n''t I be?
34369Why should that bother him?
34369Why, Mr. Eckert, does n''t this call for some explanation?
34369Will it do us any good to remain?
34369Will the car fare be very much do you think?
34369With you?
34369You are a stranger in Belton City?
34369You are certain it was sent?
34369You are my uncle, are n''t you, Mr. Eckert? 34369 You counted a lot on the inheritance, did n''t you?"
34369You have n''t heard Mrs. Leeds or that Laponi fellow say anything about leaving have you?
34369You mean the imprint on the dusty surface of the organ bench?
34369You mean to say you did n''t hear the music?
34369You mean-- indefinitely?
34369You really do n''t mind?
34369You suspect that because you found the revolver in his room?
34369You''re his niece, are n''t you?
34369You''re not aiming to leave today?
34369After all, my uncle never saw me so why should he have left me any of his money?
34369Are you hurt?"
34369Are you the caretaker?"
34369Ashland is n''t very far from Snow Mountain, is it?"
34369But if he did n''t recognize us, why did he slow down and then speed up?"
34369But what can be the purpose behind it all?"
34369But what can we do about it?"
34369But what of it may I ask?"
34369By the way what''s in the box?"
34369By the way, did n''t the old man have a valuable collection of ivories?"
34369Could she have been mistaken in believing him to be the thief who had stolen the diamond ring?
34369Did n''t Mr. Laponi have proof of it?"
34369Did n''t you, Alicia, my dear?"
34369Did you ever hear of Raven Ridge?"
34369Had Mr. Winters written Rosanna''s name?
34369Have you had supper?"
34369I wonder if Mr. Winters did leave his ivory collection in the safe?"
34369If Mr. Winters''collection of ivory is still in the house, do n''t you think it should be removed to a safer place?"
34369Is n''t it exciting?
34369It is your decision to have no share in the spoils?"
34369Leeds?"
34369Leeds?"
34369Leeds?"
34369May I examine the will?"
34369Penny smiled broadly as she inquired:"Did n''t you enter into an agreement with Mrs. Leeds to defraud Rosanna?"
34369She asked carelessly:"I do n''t suppose your wire has anything to do with Jacob Winters or the estate?"
34369She directed her gaze upon Max Laponi as she questioned:"How did you learn that Mr. Winters kept the ivory collection in this house?"
34369This is n''t another of your jokes?"
34369Was the ring a valuable one?"
34369What if it too were locked?
34369What was he like?"
34369What would the night bring forth?
34369When did you send the wire?"
34369Who tore it out of the album?"
34369Why are you so interested in it?"
34369Why does n''t he play as he''s always done before?"
34369Why should Mr. Winters tell me where he kept his valuables?
34369Winters?"
34369Would he look out?
34369Would they be seen?
34369Yet who had played the joke upon Rosanna and for what purpose?
34369You did n''t see anyone as you came up the stairs to find me?"
34369You do n''t really mind?"
34369You have n''t a car of your own or one you could borrow?"
34369You remember the letter do n''t you, Penny?"
34369You surely do n''t intend to go away from here while she and her daughter are camped in the house?"
34369You told Mrs. Leeds----""Well, you''re not Mrs. Leeds, are you?"
34369You''ll not be afraid to go with me, will you?"
53466''And would five dollars make you try?'' 53466 ''Cos why?
53466''Fur from here?'' 53466 ''How about a hundred and fifty?''
53466''How high be you willing to go?'' 53466 ''How much for this''ere one?''
53466''Oh, you think your darn smart, Jerry Stebbins, do n''t ye?'' 53466 ''S''pose you could pick out a good nice critter for me, Mr. Stebbins, and not get cheated in the price?''
53466''Will you jest go along,''arn the five, and see that I ai n''t cheated?'' 53466 ''Would you mind going back by yourself and trying?''
53466A little late getting them out to- night, are n''t you?
53466Agreement?
53466Ai n''t that reedic''lous?
53466Am I blaming him, inconsiderate one?
53466Am I locoed, I wonder?
53466An''ye''ll come armed? 53466 And then Grattan gave you a letter to some man in New York and you carried it personally?"
53466And there''s nothing more between us and a high old time in Manhattan?
53466And this man in New York entrapped the mandarin and is holding him a prisoner until he can hear what Grattan wants done?
53466And where''ll we meet you?
53466And who has it now?
53466And you came back on the train to tell Grattan?
53466And-- and you gave it up?
53466Any trains coming or going at this hour?
53466Are you all a pack of fools? 53466 Are you all right, Bunce?"
53466Are you men from Catskill?
53466Are you positive, Joe,went on Matt,"that the two thieves who figured in the picture were really Grattan and Bunce?"
53466Are you ready?
53466Are you working for Tsan Ti? 53466 But the phantom-- how do you explain it?"
53466But what was the fellow''s object in seeking to disable the train?
53466But what will you do with the Eye of Buddha?
53466But where did you get it, and what were you doing with it?
53466But why should Grattan want to publish his criminal work all over the country in moving pictures? 53466 Cautious?
53466Clever?
53466Come up here and bear a fist with the car, will ye?
53466Did I see that moving picture, with Grattan and Bunce in it and stealing the''Eye of Buddha,''or did n''t I?
53466Did ye come armed, mateys?
53466Did you ever see anything more beautiful?
53466Did you know, Tsan Ti,he queried,"that while you were in New York you had a Chinese spy around with you?
53466Did you play a part in the pictures, Bunce?
53466Did you think for a minute, Bunce, we''d jump into this without being heeled?
53466Do you belong around here?
53466Do you know anything about motors, Bunce?
53466Do you take care of this palatial depot?
53466Does it stop here?
53466Got them?
53466Had you any notion it was this sort of a bubble, Matt?
53466Have I said one scolding word, or emitted anything but praise? 53466 Have n''t you done enough walking for one day, Joe?"
53466Have you gone off the jump on account of that confounded ruby? 53466 He said that Grattan was hiding out about five miles from Catskill, did n''t he?"
53466How could he have any right to the box,stormed McGlory,"when the letter asking you to turn it over to him was never written by Motor Matt?
53466How far is it to Catskill?
53466How in the dickens does that happen, eh?
53466How much are you willing to pay for the trip?
53466How''ll we flag it?
53466How?
53466I hope there''s nothing wrong?
53466I hope, Motor Matt,went on Grattan,"that you do n''t cherish any hard feelings?"
53466I reckon,he went on,"that this sidetracks us, eh?
53466I wonder if Mr. Pardo has got here?
53466I wonder if it would do any good to send out telegrams?
53466Is it because you desire to help an unfortunate Chinaman who must use the yellow cord in case he can not return to China with the Eye of Buddha? 53466 Is that Motor Matt?"
53466Is that you, Motor Matt?
53466Is your friend with you?
53466It has escaped you, vigilant one?
53466Maybe you''re right, but how are we going to pick up the webfoot''s trail?
53466Now, burn me,snorted Bunce,"d''ye take me for a dog fish?
53466Now, what do you think?
53466Say, Bunce,demanded McGlory suddenly,"did you take the speeder off the track and up the slope into those bushes alone?"
53466Suppose we go up to our room, shake the dust out of our clothes, take a bath, and get ready to eat?
53466That stopped you, did it?
53466The man did n''t have any right to the box?
53466Then the letter is a forgery?
53466Then them pictures are out, eh? 53466 Then you have n''t heard about what happened this morning?"
53466Then, why did n''t you go and tell Grattan,asked Matt,"instead of coming and telling me?"
53466Then,and Matt turned toward Pardo,"this is simply a plot you have engineered to get me into the hands of Grattan?"
53466They would n''t keep the gasoline supply for the speeder so far from the track, would they?
53466Trapped?
53466Use your brains, if you''ve got any, ca n''t you? 53466 Was n''t it neat?
53466Was there anything very valuable in the box?
53466Well,said Tom Barnard,"what else?"
53466What I told the super had a little horse sense in it, too, did n''t it, Joe?
53466What are you going to do, pard?
53466What did you have in that handkerchief?
53466What did you wear it for, anyhow?
53466What do you reckon it is, pard?
53466What do you think of that?
53466What else could I do?
53466What for?
53466What good is a green patch as a disguise, anyway?
53466What good''s an explanation?
53466What have you got to tell us?
53466What if he is, pard? 53466 What is it?"
53466What is it?
53466What man? 53466 What of that?"
53466What point is that?
53466What sort of a game was Bunce up to? 53466 What sort of looking man was he?"
53466What took us aback, like that?
53466What would happen? 53466 What would you suggest, Joe?"
53466What''s become of them, Bunce?
53466What''s the difference between''Buddha''s Eye''and the''Eye of Buddha,''Matt?
53466What''s the odds, Matt?
53466What''s to be done now, Tsan Ti?
53466What''s your plan, Bunce?
53466What-- what does this mean?
53466What?
53466When will we have to start after Grattan?
53466Where does this belong?
53466Where is Grattan?
53466Where is Grattan?
53466Where''d you get that, Joe?
53466Where''s the nearest telegraph office?
53466Wherever did you find that out? 53466 Which it ai n''t me, d''ye see?"
53466Who could have done better? 53466 Why did n''t you go for her after Jack was dead?"
53466Why do n''t ye say ye''re the governor o''the State, or somethin''like that? 53466 Why do n''t you light up?"
53466Why, do n''t you know?
53466Why? 53466 Why?"
53466Will you consider it of an insulting nature if I offer you these?
53466Will you tote it along on a trip of this kind?
53466With marine motors?
53466Would n''t I like to look in on him while he and Bunce are opening that box?
53466Would n''t this rattle you?
53466You bear no ill will, worthy one, and friend whose memory will always blossom in the gardens of my recollections?
53466You ca n''t mean it, pard?
53466You did n''t think you could fool Grattan so he would n''t search you, did you?
53466You do n''t intend to think of business at all while you''re there, eh?
53466You had to climb a hill before you took the down grade, did n''t you?
53466You heard how the great ruby was recovered, and how the thieves got away?
53466You mean Mulvaney''s speeder,returned Bronson,"the one that was stolen two days ago?"
53466You mean about Grattan having so much to do to keep out of the clutches of the law that he wo n''t find any time to hit up your trail?
53466You mean to say that Tsan Ti is a prisoner in New York-- a prisoner of a confederate of Grattan''s?
53466You refer to Charley Foo, honorable one?
53466You say you came here to see me?
53466You stole a motor car, eh?
53466You''re really going to China this time, are you, Tsan Ti?
53466You''ve a pair of very good eyes, it seems to me, and what''s the good of that patch?
53466A man who was carrying news of everything you did to an agent of Grattan''s?"
53466Am I in a trance, or what?"
53466An''supposin'', furthermore, this same beach comber is a mate o''Grattan''s, an''waitin''only for Grattan to come afore he makes Tsan Ti peg out?
53466Anyhow, if he does arrive to- morrow morning, before we do, he can wait for us, ca n''t he?"
53466Are you bound to do what he tells you to?
53466Are you goin''to make any trouble?
53466Are you sailin''this cruise wi''me to save the life o''the mandarin?
53466Belay a bit, ca n''t you?"
53466But how does it happen that the picture is being shown like it is?
53466But how in thunder did Bunce get next to that?
53466But that old two- eyed counterfeit with the green patch-- I wonder how much he''d sell out for, about now?"
53466But what in the world have you got to tell me about the stolen speeder?"
53466But what was that gasoline for?"
53466But what''s become of the mariner?
53466But what''s the good word, shipmate?
53466But which of Bunce''s eyes did it cover?"
53466But why did we need the speeder when we had two good motorcycles?
53466But, tell me, did you capture Grattan?"
53466Ca n''t I get you to help me out?
53466Ca n''t you understand, Joe?
53466D''ye know what he''s layin''to do?
53466Did n''t I bear away for this place for nothin''else than to fall afoul o''ye?
53466Did n''t he just throw the Eye o''Buddha into the river?"
53466Did n''t know you had an engineer''s license?"
53466Do we look like thieves?"
53466Do you think he would sacrifice the ruby, even to prevent me from getting it?
53466Have n''t we been tangled up with all sorts of backsets since we met Tsan Ti?
53466Have n''t you got any curiosity?"
53466Have you got any clear notion which eye was hit with that rope''s end?"
53466He''s alone, I suppose, Bunce?"
53466Here I am, an''here''s you, an''if I blow the gaff a bit that''s my business, ai n''t it?
53466How about doing something to fill in the time?"
53466How could he?"
53466How did he know that Tsan Ti had sent you the ruby, in the first place?"
53466How do you explain that?"
53466How''d you ever get over this road with it, Bunce?"
53466How, in the name of all his ten thousand demons of misfortune, does he happen to be in New York?"
53466I escaped from the sugar camp, did I not?
53466I suppose, Tsan Ti, you are after the Eye of Buddha?"
53466I wonder if you could n''t buy him for me?''
53466Interview satisfactory?"
53466Is it the money he pays you?
53466Is that the same story as the one connected with the''Eye of Buddha?''"
53466Is there any other side?"
53466My name''s King, Matt King, and I''m stopping at the----""Motor Matt?"
53466Page 12, added missing apostrophe to"if ye ai n''t?"
53466Pardo?"
53466Pardo?"
53466Pardo?"
53466Pardo?"
53466Plotted it on a sampan off Canton, did n''t you?"
53466Shall I call it an inspiration?
53466Should I visit him with possible dangers, I besought of myself, in order that I might preserve the precious relic from the temple at Honam?
53466Suppose we follow the trail of the motorcycles, Joe?"
53466Tell me, will you?
53466That''s why you wanted to make such an early start, eh?"
53466The question now is, can I secure your services?"
53466Wa''n''t Jim mad, then?
53466Want me to run the thing?"
53466Was the knife in the handkerchief when we left Catskill?"
53466What box?"
53466What business is it of his if we choose to show a little sense and get some one else to take charge of the ruby?
53466What came over the mandarin to box it up and ship it to you?
53466What do you say?"
53466What has Tsan Ti done?
53466What is this Tsan Ti to you that you will risk so much for him?
53466What then?"
53466What value did he put on it?"
53466What wonder work was this?
53466What would this fat mandarin of the red button do for you if your positions were reversed?
53466What''re you pullin''a gun on us for, if ye ai n''t?"
53466What''s in the letter, anyway?
53466What''s the answer?
53466What''s the name of the hotel?"
53466What''s the word?"
53466What''s the word?"
53466What-- how-- why---- Look here, you blooming old maverick, how did you ever come to think of such a dodge?"
53466When did the man call and deliver the forged letter?"
53466When will it be along?"
53466Where do you suppose Grattan, and that choice assortment of tinhorns he has with him on the_ Iris_, are going?"
53466Where''s his letter sent from?
53466Who would n''t have been fooled, when the game was worked like Grattan worked it?
53466Why are you the friend of such a coward?
53466Why did n''t Bunce wait for us, back there in the timber, and give us the chance to come on here and put the kibosh on the man we want?"
53466Why did n''t the mandarin deposit the ruby in some bank, or safe- deposit vault?
53466Why is it I have the great honor to see you here?"
53466Why?"
53466Will it be an insult to offer you one thousand silver dollars and expense money for consummating this task?
53466Wo n''t it, now?"
53466Would n''t that rattle your spurs?"
53466You all know Rowley''s Bend?
53466You are familiar with gasoline motors, I understand?"
53466You ask, of your perplexity, why is the jewel sent to you?
53466You can guide yourself by the sound of my voice, ca n''t you?"
53466You do n''t want to cool your heels in the hotel, do you, while we''re waiting?
53466You fellers waitin''to ketch a train for Catskill?"
53466You saw him, did n''t you?"
53466and did n''t us fellers plague him peskily about it arter he got home?
53466bellowed Bunce,"what''s the use o''searchin''him?
53466exclaimed Grattan, as though intensely surprised,"you hesitate?
53466how''s the hoss trade?''
53466proceeded Joe,"or will you leave it in the hotel safe?
53466what d''you say?''
8931''Member dose jools we got in de hotel de year before I was copped?
8931''Wahye?
8931Accident? 8931 And are there not valuable things here,"asked McEachern triumphantly,"which it would be silly to risk losing?
8931And do you propose to keep my wife''s jewels, or may I have them?
8931And how was it you were so late?
8931And what did he do? 8931 And what did our Spennie do?"
8931And what does that grunt mean, I should like to know? 8931 And what steps, if I may ask, do you imagine I shall take?"
8931And you must pay him at once?
8931Any more for the shore?
8931Are you from New York? 8931 But what''s he goin''to do?"
8931But whatever induced you to try for that safe without me? 8931 Can I what?"
8931Can I?
8931Can you act?
8931Cigar, Spike?
8931Confound you, sir, will you stop that noise?
8931Den all dis----"Belongs to him? 8931 Did he recognize you?"
8931Did n''t I tell you the place belonged to father?
8931Did n''t know?
8931Did you know him out in New York?
8931Did you like the monologue?
8931Do you read much poetry, Molly?
8931Do you remember the room you took them from?
8931Do you think I''ve changed? 8931 Ever played picquet?
8931Father, let me present-- I mean, do n''t you remember Jimmy? 8931 Got them?
8931Has it, Molly?
8931Have I changed in other ways?
8931Have n''t they asked you to play_ Lord Algernon_?
8931He was? 8931 Help you?"
8931Hits you where you live, that, does n''t it?
8931How are the theatricals going?
8931How could you?
8931How could you?
8931How did you meet Spennie?
8931How do I know? 8931 How far is it to walk?"
8931How long have you been living in England, then? 8931 How much?"
8931How soon after lunch?
8931How''s that? 8931 How''s that?
8931How''s that?
8931How, may I ask,he said,"do you propose to leave the abbey?"
8931Hullo?
8931Hullo?
8931I do n''t want to mention names,said McEachern cautiously,"and I cast no suspicions, but who is that pale, thin Willie who came yesterday?
8931I say,he remarks,"why not get up some theatricals?"
8931I say,said Jimmy, as they moved away,"who is that fellow Wesson?"
8931If it''s all the same to you, will you take your fist out of my mouth? 8931 If you did n''t want me, why did you let me stop here?"
8931Is n''t it?
8931Is n''t she attractive, either?
8931Is there time to get back before it begins?
8931It does look nice, Jimmy, does n''t it?
8931Jimmy Pitt? 8931 Just looking round?"
8931Let''s see, that''s twenty pounds you owe me, is n''t it?
8931Like what?
8931Matter?
8931Molly, do you hate me?
8931Mother?
8931Mr. Chames, what''s doing here? 8931 New York?"
8931Of course,he said,"that money you lost to me at picquet-- What was it?
8931Poor old Spike,said Jimmy,"you''ve had bad luck, have n''t you?"
8931Praise you? 8931 Putting them back?"
8931Really?
8931Savoy Mansions, eh? 8931 Say, Mr. Chames, was n''t youse struck on de goil?"
8931Shall I pay you, now, or shall we settle up in a lump after we''ve finished?
8931Shall you what?
8931Shouted? 8931 Snug in here, is n''t it?"
8931So you''re Spennie''s friend,said Mr. Wesson,"the man who''s going to show us all how to act, what?"
8931So-- so it''s you, is it?
8931Spencer, where are your trunks? 8931 Spennie, my boyhood''s only friend,"said Charteris,"where are you off to?"
8931Spennie,she said,"what were you putting in your pocket as you came out?"
8931Spike,he said,"do you know Savoy Mansions?"
8931Sure you do n''t mind? 8931 That makes a difference, does n''t it?
8931That would be a new experience for you, would n''t it? 8931 That you, Spike?"
8931The chap from the inn? 8931 This house?"
8931To do? 8931 Used you ever to think of me?"
8931Was it ever anything more than that? 8931 Well, Mr. Galer,"he said, aloud,"you are n''t trying to escape, are you?
8931Well, Spencer? 8931 Well, and who was he?"
8931Well, any news? 8931 Well, could n''t we?"
8931Well, father, dear?
8931Well, me dear?
8931Well, my dear, finished your chat with the porter?
8931Well,said Jimmy,"and how goes the world with young Lord Fitz Mullins?
8931Well?
8931Well?
8931Well?
8931Well?
8931Well?
8931Well?
8931Wha- a- a''?
8931What Corven Abbey? 8931 What about stopping now?"
8931What about?
8931What about?
8931What are you doing here?
8931What are you playing at?
8931What do you mean?
8931What do you mean?
8931What does he do?
8931What exactly?
8931What girl?
8931What have I stolen?
8931What is ut?
8931What is ut?
8931What makes you think so?
8931What on earth do you mean?
8931What proofs have you?
8931What sort of a looking man?
8931What were you doing in Uncle Thomas''room, Spennie?
8931What''s dat-- guineas? 8931 What''s dat?"
8931What''s his name, did you say?
8931What''s the idea, then?
8931What''s the matter? 8931 What,_ more_ detectives?
8931What-- what do you mean? 8931 What?
8931What_ is_ it, Jimmy?
8931Where on earth did you get those?
8931Which is my way?
8931Which shore?
8931Which?
8931Who is his friend?
8931Who is_ Lord Algernon_?
8931Who told you?
8931Who wants to play?
8931Who? 8931 Why did n''t you knock him down and carry her off?"
8931Why did you look like that when you came out?
8931Why not? 8931 Why suggest such dreadful things?
8931Why worry?
8931Why,said Jimmy,"is your father here, too?
8931Why?
8931Will it, by George? 8931 Will it?"
8931Would you mind letting my man pass?
8931Ye hear me? 8931 Yes?"
8931Yes?
8931Yes?
8931You could n''t reconsider your decision about sending me away to- morrow, I suppose?
8931You will have such lots to talk about, wo n''t you?
8931You wish me, in fact, to become a silent accomplice? 8931 You''ll bear it in mind?
8931You''re a nice, comforting sort of man, are n''t you?
8931Your schooner''s on the tide now, is n''t it? 8931 _ What_ exactly is repicquing?"
8931''Member dat?"
8931''Sure youse ai n''t Sir Tummas himself?''
8931''You left him?
8931''You''re with Stone, are n''t you?''
8931Ah, lov'', could I bot tell thee----""Spennie, who''s this fellow Pitt?"
8931Ah, lov'', could I bot tell----""Where did you meet him?"
8931All right on the night?
8931And den what?
8931And is it likely that a baronet--_with_ money, mind you-- is going to carry on the yegg business as a side line?
8931Are n''t you with him?''
8931Are you aware that that necklace cost forty thousand pounds?"
8931Are you listening?
8931Are you quite comfortable?"
8931Before you fell a victim to the feverish desire for reckless speculation which is so marked a characteristic of the American business man, what?"
8931But what do you get out of it?
8931But where is Spennie?"
8931Butt in among de swells what''s enjoyin''themselves and spoil deir evenin''by showin''dem a face like yours?
8931By the way, before we start, care to make it a sovereign a hundred?"
8931By the way, do you correspond with any of the old set?
8931CHAPTER V."How are you, Molly?"
8931Ca n''t I tell?
8931Ca n''t you see that it does n''t matter what a man has been?
8931Can I help youse wit''de duds?"
8931Can you manage sleeping on the sofa for one night?"
8931Caught you at it, my beauty, have I?
8931Chames?"
8931Chames?"
8931Chames?"

8931De limit, ai n''t dey?
8931Did Dandy give you trouble?"
8931Did n''t I tell you there was nothing doing when you wanted to take those things the other day?"
8931Did n''t I, Pitt?"
8931Did n''t you know they had been watching us?"
8931Did you ever hear of him?"
8931Did you feel a spot of rain then?
8931Did you mind leaving the force?"
8931Do you know what a baronet is?"
8931Do you understand?"
8931Does de Galer mug give him de glad eye?
8931Does that go?"
8931Ever heard of that policeman-- I''ve got his name, too-- who made a lot of money by getting appointments in the force for men of his acquaintance?
8931Ever heard of that?
8931Got it?
8931Got what?"
8931Had I, Pitt?"
8931Had he a right?
8931Has it for you, Molly?"
8931Has it for you?
8931Have a drink?"
8931He does n''t expect to stop here indefinitely, I suppose?
8931He took a card from his case, scribbled the words,"Can I help?"
8931Hot, is n''t it?"
8931How are you getting on downstairs?"
8931How are you getting on?"
8931How are you?
8931How are you?"
8931How did your father meet him over here?"
8931How do you know the cars still run both ways on Broadway?"
8931How do you know?"
8931How do you like it?"
8931How much would he see of Molly now?
8931How often am I to tell you that I have done with all that sort of thing forever?
8931How?"
8931I mean it''s lovely here, but it_ was_ nice in the old days, was n''t it, Jimmy?
8931I mean, well, suppose you were an actor- manager, you would n''t like to be called a super, would you?
8931I mean-- well, you see do n''t you?
8931I put it to you?"
8931I say, who was that man I saw you talking to after lunch?"
8931I say, will you ask him to- night?
8931I was only going to ask you how you liked leaving the----""United States?"
8931I''m not alluding to any of them in particular, but how are we to know that all these social headliners are on the level?"
8931Is dat more dan a pound?"
8931Is it de old lay?
8931Is it now?
8931Is it now?"
8931Is that better?"
8931Is that your uncle?"
8931Is this what you feed them?
8931Is your address on your card?
8931It is n''t nice, is it?
8931It''s a pity that things change, is n''t it?"
8931Jimmy Pitt?"
8931Keggs all right?
8931Left them behind, I suppose?
8931Let''s go back, shall we?"
8931Make it more exciting, do n''t you think, if we played for something?"
8931McEachern?"
8931McEachern?"
8931McEachern?"
8931Might I trouble you?
8931Moan with joy?"
8931Mr. McEachern, may I ask one question?"
8931No?
8931Not really?
8931Now what''s the betting that there is n''t room for all of us in the bubble?"
8931Otherwise you might have been tempted, might n''t you?"
8931Outside?
8931Quite the old English squire now, Mr. McEachern, what?"
8931Say, Mr. Chames, can_ youse_ put me wise?
8931Say, what''s he doin''on dis beat?
8931Say, who do youse t''ink I nearly bumped me coco ag''in out in de corridor?
8931Say, would n''t dat make you wonder was you on your feet or your coco?"
8931See you downstairs later, I suppose?"
8931See?"
8931Shall we go down to the drawing- room, now?"
8931Shall we start, Miss McEachern?"
8931So dis mug, what do youse t''ink he does?
8931So, why harp on it?
8931Spennie bringing a friend?"
8931Spike, have you ever been best man?"
8931Ten bob a hundred?"
8931Ten?
8931The one that says the clever things that nobody understands?"
8931Till then-- See?"
8931To refrain from mentioning this little matter?"
8931Twenty pounds, was n''t it?
8931Twenty?
8931Wahye?"
8931Was it ever anything more with you?
8931Was it fair?
8931Was it?
8931Was to de bad?
8931Well, you know where to write for it, do n''t you?"
8931What I mean to say is-- do you mind if I smoke?
8931What did it matter to Sir James Pitt, baronet, if the whole police force of London stopped and looked at him?
8931What do you suspect me of, I wonder?"
8931What do you take me for, I should like to know?"
8931What do you want?
8931What had he been doing?
8931What had he done to deserve this?
8931What happened, then?"
8931What happened?
8931What have I done?"
8931What have you been doing since you came to England?"
8931What is the matter?"
8931What were you doing there?"
8931What would they say of you at Jefferson Market, if they knew?
8931What''s dat dis side?"
8931What''s dat?
8931What''s dat?"
8931What''s de answer?"
8931What''s de game?
8931What''s old man McEachern doin''stunts dis side for?"
8931What''s that?
8931What''s that?"
8931What''s the matter?
8931What''s the matter?"
8931What''s the trouble?
8931What''s this in the iron pot?
8931What, Mr. Chames?
8931What_ are_ you talking about?"
8931What_ can_ you suspect him of?"
8931What_ is_ the matter?"
8931Where is the box?"
8931Where''s the automobile?
8931Where?
8931Which is it to be?"
8931Which is it to be?"
8931Who is it that you suspect?
8931Who is the crook?"
8931Who is the-- what is the word you''re so fond of?
8931Who''s the other?"
8931Who''s this?
8931Who''s your friend?"
8931Who_ was_ Pitt?
8931Why are ye here, you and that red- headed devil?"
8931Why exhume it?
8931Why had he a lamp?
8931Why not change your mind, and stop?"
8931Why should they monopolize you?"
8931Why tear yourself away, Spike?"
8931Why wait?"
8931Why was Jimmy in the room at that time?
8931Why----""Another friend of yours, Spennie?"
8931Why?"
8931Why?"
8931Why?''
8931Will this be enough?"
8931Will ye deny that ye was a crook in New York?"
8931Will you deny it?"
8931Will you try?
8931Yet why?
8931You are n''t angry, are you?"
8931You believe me, do n''t you, Molly?"
8931You coming, too?"
8931You did n''t see her, I suppose, by any chance?
8931You do n''t think a lot of women, do you?
8931You know my friend, Mr. Mullins, I think?
8931You know that habit of ours, do n''t you?
8931You mentioned the end of the week, I believe?
8931You remember Bryant''s lines, Miss McEachern?
8931You were saying?"
8931You were-- stealing them?"
8931You wo n''t give me up, will you?
8931You wo n''t, will you?"
8931You''ll want me wit''youse, I guess?"
8931You''re coming in to see the show, are n''t you?"
8931You''re cutting it out for fair?"
8931Youse do n''t need to go on de old lay no more?
41005A suspicion which was turned into an actual fact before it reached my ears-- eh?
41005Am I ever likely to forget? 41005 And Hinckeldeym?"
41005And Madame''s name?
41005And do you identify either of the prisoners?
41005And do you see in Court the man who stole the pendant?
41005And how are you? 41005 And how can I give you proof when Mr. Bourne and his friend are in custody in London?
41005And nothing more?
41005And now tell me, Princess, the reason of this second journey to Vienna?
41005And the King is in the palace?
41005And the man wore a red tie?
41005And the people do not really think ill of me?
41005And this is little Ignatia, is it?
41005And to be frank, Steinbach, you believe that all this has reached my husband''s ears?
41005And to what hotel is Madame going?
41005And what are they? 41005 And what do they say of me?"
41005And what else?
41005And what is intended?
41005And what more?
41005And what, pray, does your Imperial Highness care for this idle Court gossip?
41005And where is the man at the present moment?
41005And who are you?
41005And who is he?
41005And who, pray, are my worst antagonists?
41005And yet we''ve had jolly good times here, have n''t we? 41005 And you have heard nothing of this English lady''s maid since?"
41005And you say that this man is at Worthing, and in hiding from the police? 41005 And you were silent?"
41005And you will give no information to the police?
41005And your Majesty will not apply for a divorce?
41005And your intention is really to restore them to me?
41005Are you leaving?
41005Are you not my friends?
41005Are you quite sure?
41005Are you so very timid?
41005Are you to live always in this glass house, for your enemies to hound you from place to place, because a man dares to admire your beauty? 41005 Are you, little Highness?"
41005Because you have not the means by which to live honestly?
41005But if she is innocent?
41005But is it not a considerable sacrifice on your part? 41005 But is it not a great sacrifice to your companions to give up my jewellery?"
41005But is not the Leitolf affair quite sufficient?
41005But it was a curious_ contretemps_, was it not?
41005But the people themselves are now speaking of-- of the Count?
41005But we might perhaps pay him a visit-- eh?
41005But what is this secret you have to tell me?
41005But why did you fear to meet me?
41005But why? 41005 But why?"
41005But, father-- why?
41005But,she added, brightening up,"you are happy, are n''t you?
41005By the Minister Stuhlmann himself, on behalf of the Government-- not by Herr Hirsch?
41005Can not you let me know, by secret means, your whereabouts? 41005 Can not you see the foolishness of it all?"
41005Can not you see, Carl, that your presence here lends colour to their suspicions? 41005 Can not you speak here?"
41005Can not your Highness discern that your jealous enemies are in fear of you?
41005Can you not abandon this very perilous profession of yours? 41005 Can you tell me where my wife is-- that''s the question?
41005Did you go to Vienna?
41005Disturb me?
41005Do I?
41005Do you really mean that there is actually a conspiracy against me?
41005Excuse?
41005For what, Ferdinand?
41005Forgive you? 41005 From Lucerne?
41005Have you heard a-- well, a scandal concerning myself?
41005Have you not just told me that you are my friend?
41005He did not see you?
41005How can I thank you sufficiently for those kind, generous words-- for that promise?
41005How did he obtain entrance to the Court ball? 41005 I surely have nothing to fear-- have I?
41005I understand that you have left Treysa?
41005I wish to know by what right you have followed me here-- to Vienna?
41005I wonder if your Highness will forgive me if I tell you the truth?
41005I wonder to whom these belong?
41005I wonder why Steinbach has followed me here?
41005Is it Destiny that again brings us together like this?
41005Is it so grave as that? 41005 Is it so very late, then?"
41005Is she married?
41005Is there any charge in Germany against this person-- Bourne, you called him?
41005Is there any further misfortune to fall upon me, I wonder?
41005Is there no justice for me? 41005 Is time of great importance to your Highness?"
41005It is surely worth the risk to save my gracious benefactress from falling victim to their foul, dastardly conspiracy?
41005It surely can not be of such a nature that you may not explain it in an undertone here?
41005Mr. Bourne, why do n''t you speak more plainly? 41005 My father is away, Franz?
41005Necessary? 41005 No one has followed you, Princess?"
41005Oh, he is a friend, is he? 41005 Oh, why not?"
41005Or why not old Lestocard, in Brussels? 41005 Pardon, madame,"exclaimed the police official, a shrewd- looking functionary with fair, pointed beard,"what was the dressing- bag like?"
41005Perhaps, however, your Highness has been indiscreet-- has, I mean, allowed these people some loophole through which to cast their shafts?
41005Remember, I am in future plain Madame Bernard, of Bordeaux, shall we say? 41005 Shall I tell you, Princess?"
41005Surely they do not mean to kill me, Steinbach?
41005The fault of what?
41005Then Hinckeldeym was aware that you were returning?
41005Then he knows of my return?
41005Then where is she?
41005Then will you actually remain a victim and keep silence, allowing these people to thus misjudge you?
41005Then you are really my friend, Count?
41005Then you do n''t deny that to- day he is really your friend?
41005Then you really do n''t think` the Ladybird''will have anything to do with the affair?
41005Then you will send him to Rome?
41005Then your Highness really intends to banish me?
41005Then your Imperial Highness contemplates changing everything?
41005Then, to be frank, you insinuate that this man is her latest lover?
41005They will be tried in Berlin, I suppose?
41005They, of course, recognise its great value?
41005Think ill of you, Princess?
41005To call on you-- eh, Leucha?
41005To that German Baroness in whose service you were about eight months ago-- Ackermann, was n''t the name? 41005 To whom did the stuff belong?"
41005Unfortunately?
41005Was n''t that very unfortunate? 41005 Well, Trauttenberg?"
41005Well, what else do you know?
41005Well, what next? 41005 Well,"she exclaimed at last,"I wonder if you would all three do me another small favour?"
41005Well-- and what else?
41005Well?
41005Well?
41005Well?
41005What causes your Highness to suspect such a thing?
41005What does it matter if the English nurse is paid by the Queen to whitewash her mistress? 41005 What does this mean?
41005What greater humility can befall a man than to be compelled to admit that he is a thief-- as I admitted to you this afternoon? 41005 What infernal irony of Fate is this?
41005What is in progress?
41005What is there to forgive?
41005What''s your business with him, pray?
41005Whatever made you suspect that?
41005When do you think of leaving?
41005When you were in Vienna, a few days before, you actually visited him at his hotel?
41005When? 41005 Where are the jewels?"
41005Where is he?
41005Where is my father?
41005Where is she, I wonder?
41005Where is the Crown Prince?
41005Who can tell?
41005Who saw us?
41005Who told you that?
41005Who took it? 41005 Who were your parents?"
41005Why do I suspect you? 41005 Why do you think so ill of me-- why do you always suspect me?"
41005Why do you think that, Count?
41005Why does mother cry?
41005Why not to London, Princess?
41005Why should I? 41005 Why should I?
41005Why unfortunately, Mr. Bourne, when you risked your life for mine? 41005 Why with shame?"
41005Why, Ferdinand, do you wish me to say what is untrue?
41005Why, you are my husband; whom else have I to love, besides our child?
41005Why? 41005 Why?"
41005Why?
41005Will she? 41005 Will your Highness pardon me if I tell the truth?"
41005Will your Highness walk to the cab with me?
41005Yes,she said in a low, mechanical voice,"but is it real enthusiasm?
41005Yet what would the world really say, I wonder, if it knew that you were in hiding here?
41005You allege, then, that all this outrageous scandal that has been the talk of Europe has been merely invented by Hinckeldeym and his friends?
41005You are not afraid to trust yourself with us?
41005You are quite certain that it is not a mere platonic friendship?
41005You do n''t like to hear the truth, do you? 41005 You do not believe what they say regarding me?"
41005You have not recovered your property?
41005You knew, I suppose, that it contained jewels?
41005You see the reason?
41005You surely do not get possession of jewels of that value every day?
41005You surely had no need to be ashamed of your action? 41005 You will not allow their foul lies and insinuations to influence you further; will you?"
41005You with Ignatia, and no lady- in- waiting? 41005 Your companions have, I presume, read what is contained in these?"
41005A pity the Doctor hit the poor old chap so hard, was n''t it?"
41005A strange contrast, is it not?"
41005And going-- where?"
41005And he afterwards disappeared, without waiting for me to thank him personally?"
41005And he now wishes to be appointed abroad again, eh?
41005And he wanted to speak to her in secret?
41005And how I found you out?"
41005And if it was sought to prove what was untrue?
41005And stay-- what can I do to give you recompense?
41005And the future?"
41005And what greater weapon could he have against her than her own declaration of her intention to sweep clear the Court of its present entourage?
41005And why?
41005And yet have I not been quite as indiscreet?
41005And yet was she not very deeply indebted to him?
41005And yet-- and yet was not the Emperor''s anger plain proof that he knew something-- that a foul plot was really in progress?
41005And you wish to recommend him?"
41005And you?
41005And you_ forbid_?"
41005Are there not any smaller salons upstairs?
41005Are you making a long stay here?"
41005Are you sorry?"
41005As she approached the Princess smiled at her; whereupon the girl, blushing in confusion, asked simply,--"Is it the Crown Princess Claire?
41005Besides, who would take me in any position of trust, with my black record behind me?
41005But how is that to be accomplished?"
41005But how?
41005But the old fellow was diplomatic, and said, as though compelled to recall the name,--"Leitolf?
41005But what could it denote?
41005But what makes you think that when the suggestion is made to her she will refuse?"
41005But whither?
41005But why have you asked me to come here?
41005But why should n''t I?
41005But you must be very, very good-- and never cry, like mother, will you?"
41005But, tell me-- it was not you who took my bag at the station?"
41005Can not you see his dastardly intention?
41005Can not you see that your constant attentions are compromising me and causing people to talk?"
41005Can we afford to risk that?
41005Can you see it away yonder?"
41005Could any of them really know all that was meant by a mother''s heart?
41005Could anything be more cold- blooded, more absolutely outrageous?
41005Could it really be true?
41005Could n''t stay away from us longer, I suppose?"
41005Could she extricate them?
41005Could this man, whom she had benefited by her all- powerful influence, have any ulterior motive in lying to her?
41005Could you arrange this for me?"
41005Did I not report to you that she went to Vienna in the man''s company?"
41005Did he wish to exhibit her poor bruised face publicly before her friends?
41005Do you consider that you are treating me fairly?
41005Do you contemplate leaving your things at the Grand, my dear fellow?
41005Do you deny it?"
41005Do you intend to back out of it altogether?"
41005Do you know that?"
41005Do you know what they say of you?
41005Do you not recollect?"
41005Do you really entertain one single spark of love for me?"
41005Does your Majesty intend to leave London to- morrow?"
41005For what motive?"
41005For whom do you appear to prosecute-- for the Imperial German Government, or for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Marburg?"
41005Had her absence been discovered?
41005Had those conspiring against her obtained his ear?
41005Had you disposed of them you would surely have obtained a good round sum?"
41005Here?"
41005How can I receive guests in this state, Henriette?"
41005How can I sufficiently thank you?"
41005How can a man live and keep up appearances when utterly without means?"
41005How could I reach you?
41005How could he tell her the truth?
41005How could she go back now that her enemies had so openly condemned her?
41005How did you manage to get a card?"
41005How many ladies, she wondered, had lost their jewels after employing her?
41005I wonder whether you are one?"
41005If she''s in love, who''s the jay?"
41005In any case, what did he want with her?
41005Indeed, is it not so with my own self?"
41005Insane?
41005Is it anything like that?"
41005Is it nice?"
41005Is it not scandalous-- when you love Leucha?"
41005Is it really worth while?''
41005Is not that so?"
41005Is she quite well again?"
41005Is there any function to- night, have you heard?"
41005Is there no way by which you can leave your companions and lead an honest life?"
41005Is this really true?"
41005May I be permitted to introduce myself?
41005Of late you have, I suppose, realised the fatal mistake?"
41005Or would she, by refusing to make defence, obtain the freedom from Court which she sought?
41005Or would they receive from the public that deep- felt compassion which she herself had shown them?
41005Redmayne?"
41005Shall we get into the cab and drive away?
41005She longed to see the pair man and wife, and honest; yet how could she assist them?
41005She wondered whether, after reading the letter, the Emperor would relent towards her?
41005Should he tell her the truth of an amazing discovery he had made only on the previous day; or was it really kinder to her to hold his tongue?
41005Should she communicate with her husband and deny the scandalous charges before it became too late?
41005Should she defend herself, and establish her innocence?
41005Should she now reveal her whereabouts?
41005Should she risk all and return to Treysa?
41005Surely you, my own father, will not refuse to assist your daughter, who is the victim of a foul and dastardly plot?"
41005Tell me, Hinckeldeym-- why is this struggling crowd plotting against me?"
41005That is Count Carl, whom I sent to London a few years ago?
41005Then in the next breath she asked,"What is the latest phase of this conspiracy against me, Steinbach?
41005Then one of your companions was there?"
41005Then, recognising his daughter, he turned slowly in his writing- chair, his brows knit, exclaiming coldly the single inquiry,--"Well?"
41005Then, turning to the sorrowing woman at his side, he asked,--"You had my message-- I mean you found it?"
41005Therefore return to England and collect the evidence carefully-- facts that have foundation-- you understand?"
41005They loved each other both truly and well, yet what could be done?
41005They say that I am your latest lover-- eh?
41005They will be discreet, of course, and not divulge to the people that I have given them audience-- eh?"
41005They--""Against my child?"
41005This is rather an unusual hour for a visit, is it not?
41005To you I do not deny it-- indeed, why should I?
41005Was all this a tissue of fraud, falsehood, and forgery?
41005Was he an anarchist?
41005Was it Destiny, or was it Doom?
41005Was it destiny that she should be so utterly misjudged?
41005Was it not a bad augury for the future?
41005Was it possible that those hot words of the Emperor''s had been seized upon by her husband to obtain a declaration that she was really insane?
41005Was she speaking the truth?
41005Was there no love or justice for her?
41005What are their names?
41005What could he reply?
41005What could it mean?
41005What could she say?
41005What curse is there upon us now?
41005What do the people think of me?
41005What does this mean?"
41005What fresh insult had her husband in store for her?
41005What had he, a perfect stranger, to tell her?
41005What have I done that these people should seek my ruin?"
41005What have you got?"
41005What if they stopped her on account of the child?
41005What is your future to be?"
41005What will the King do?
41005What would become of her?
41005Where have you come from?"
41005Where is he?"
41005Where shall we fix the meeting?
41005Where was that traitress, the Trauttenberg, and what, she wondered, had become of those two faithful servants, Allen and Henriette?
41005Who is the fellow?"
41005Who knows?
41005Who knows?"
41005Who told you?"
41005Who-- who told you so?"
41005Why are you here?"
41005Why do n''t they have some assassin to kill me?"
41005Why do you speak with such people?"
41005Why had he sent her that?
41005Why not pass as French under a French name?
41005Why not try some of the omnibuses, or the crowd at one of the railway stations?
41005Why should either of us risk it?
41005Why were you at the ball last night?
41005Why, she wondered, did he fear being seen with her?
41005Why, she wondered, was Steinbach there?
41005Why, therefore, should I blame you?
41005Why?
41005Why?"
41005Will Allen be there?"
41005Will it please you to receive Herr Steinbach of the Department of Foreign Affairs?"
41005Wo n''t that be nice?"
41005Would her husband receive her?
41005Would her own Imperial family stand by and see their daughter incarcerated in a madhouse when she was as sane as they themselves-- more sane, perhaps?
41005Would they really love me if I were Queen?"
41005Yet after all it''s a dirty trick to play, is n''t it?"
41005Yet how can she?
41005Yet how was I to know?"
41005Yet what can I do?
41005Yet what could she do?
41005Yet what would it have said had it known the ugly truth?
41005Yet,"she added slowly to herself,"I wonder what he has to tell me?
41005You allege that he is an intimate friend of my wife''s?"
41005You ask me that, woman, when you wrote to the man at his hotel, made an appointment, and actually visited him there?
41005You ca n''t deny that, eh?"
41005You go in the morning and after dinner, do n''t you?"
41005You love him, do you not?"
41005You quite recognise the danger?"
41005You remember-- eh?
41005You understand?"
41005You will join me, of course?"
41005You will not allow these cringing place- seekers to triumph, when you are entirely pure and innocent?
41005You will recollect the name?"
41005You''ll promise mother, wo n''t you?"
41005You-- alone-- going to Vienna?"
41005Your Imperial Highness wishes to get rid of him from your Court, eh?"
41005asked the Princess in a soft, weary voice, hardly looking up at her,"what are our engagements to- day?"
41005has he been lagged?"
41005he cried, standing before her, his brows knit, his eyes full of fire,"and what is your excuse to me this time?"
41005he cried, suddenly taking her slim white hand in his and looking fiercely into her beautiful eyes,"is this the real truth that you have just told me?"
41005he exclaimed quickly--"you promise that?"
41005how could she act?
41005or am I mistaken?"
41005she added,"those were happy times, were n''t they?
41005she cried,"why are_ you_ here?
41005she said--"something concerning your own private affairs, I suppose?"
41005then the police are searching for both men?"
41005why?"
41005why?"
41005you forbid--_you_?"
10496''Ow?
10496A riddle?
10496About my understanding Chinese?
10496And Karslake?
10496And Nogam?
10496And all rivers, no doubt, flow to the sea? 10496 And how did he learn--?"
10496And how long have you known I was his daughter?
10496And if I do--?
10496And if she again sends her excuses?
10496And if she is not, when the robbery becomes known, your power over her will be still more strong?
10496And in event of accidents-- discovery--?
10496And may one ask why?
10496And not the proud prince you were promised? 10496 And of course found nothing?"
10496And one thing more: I am forgiven? 10496 And that one thing?"
10496And the man Nogam?
10496And the others--?
10496And then--?
10496And what of it?
10496And what, pray, is this wonderful consolation you would offer me?
10496And who, may one ask, is the husband?
10496And-- you wo n''t tell me?
10496Answer me first: If I return to you-- then what?
10496Anything more I can do to put you at your ease? 10496 Are n''t you a bit behindhand in arriving at that conclusion?"
10496Are n''t you going to forgive me?
10496Are there any more bids? 10496 Are you meaning you''ve got the girl?"
10496Are you there, Shaik Tsin? 10496 Are you there?"
10496As beautiful as I used to be?
10496As temporal viceroy of Lucifer? 10496 Beautiful enough to- night, to keep out of jail, do you think?"
10496Because you like me a little, Princess Sofia?
10496Better than-- love?
10496Bloodless?
10496But could any scheme be more grotesquely diabolical? 10496 But do you forgive him?"
10496But he is safe?
10496But how did you find out--?
10496But how did you get in?
10496But if I''m sure the room is empty, sir, and get no answer--?
10496But is it?
10496But surely it is n''t because of that stupid business with Karslake? 10496 But took no measures--""You are in a position to state that as a fact?"
10496But what do you expect, monsieur, when I find you in my rooms--?
10496But what is the use? 10496 But why should I tell you?"
10496But why should you wish to see me alone?
10496But with no tangible support for your suspicions?
10496But you do know Chinese, do n''t you?
10496But you--?
10496But, madame la princesse, is there not always a man?
10496But-- how?
10496But-- nothing?
10496Can I trust you?
10496Coming here? 10496 Dare I?"
10496Deo volente? 10496 Do you hear me, Sofia?"
10496Do you hear me? 10496 Do you know when he will be home?"
10496Do you mind telling me why he does n''t use that name, if it''s his?
10496Do you really care?
10496Do you really know my father?
10496Do?
10496Everything shall be as you wish-- everything forgotten-- I will think of nothing but how to make you happy--"And I may have my letters?
10496For my mother''s sake--?
10496For what, madame? 10496 For what?"
10496Have we very far to go?
10496Have you thought of failure?
10496He does not accompany you?
10496Hello? 10496 How can I ever show my gratitude?"
10496How dare you say they''re paste?
10496How do I know what hellish accident may kick our plans into a cocked hat? 10496 How should I--?"
10496How so?
10496How was that?
10496How, for example?
10496How-- how did you get in?
10496How?
10496How?
10496I am to understand, then, you think it time for me to abdicate and let another lead you in my stead?
10496I do n''t know..."Really not? 10496 If this is the lidy''e was expectin''to call this evenin''--""Yes?"
10496If you must invoke a spiritual patron, why not Satan? 10496 Improbable?"
10496Is it not so?
10496Is n''t it my father''s?
10496Is there anything the matter, miss?--anything I can do?
10496It is a riddle?
10496Kind? 10496 Lost?"
10496Madame la princesse did n''t know? 10496 Madame?"
10496Married?
10496Must I tell you? 10496 Need I be?
10496Need I remind you where we are?
10496Need you ask? 10496 Not squiffy, are you, by any chance?"
10496Number One is here, yes?
10496Number One?
10496Of England?
10496Of everybody?
10496Oh, are you there, Nogam? 10496 Oh, there you are, eh, Sturm?"
10496Oh-- and see that Mr. Sturm gets this, too, will you? 10496 People will see...""What if they do?
10496Please: what is my father''s name?
10496Possibly; but she is human, she has a memory--"Are you going to be sentimental about her again?
10496Revenge?
10496S''y you was me and I was Number One-- w''at would you think?
10496Sir?
10496Something definite.... You pledge yourself to me?
10496Something more than a man?
10496Something on your mind?
10496Suppose_ I_ fail?
10496That he is a spy?
10496That startles you?
10496That would please you, to have her caught?
10496The Lone Wolf?
10496The Lone Wolf?
10496The dictograph?
10496Then you do care--?
10496Then you, too, noticed the advertisement? 10496 Then your name never was Michael Lanyard?"
10496To be ordering you about, sir? 10496 To what lengths will he not go to cover up his daughter''s shame, if it threatens to become public that she is a thief?
10496To your beginnings, you mean?
10496Too late?
10496Troyon''s?
10496W''y wyste time w''itin''for''i m?
10496Wait--as the Chinaman began to bow himself out--"Karslake is still in his room, I suppose?"
10496We?
10496Well, and if we do fail--?
10496Well? 10496 Wha- what are you go- going to do with me?"
10496What am I doing here?
10496What are you doing?
10496What are you going to do?
10496What are you telling me? 10496 What danger?"
10496What did she say?
10496What do you mean?
10496What do you think?
10496What do you think?
10496What does?
10496What has happened? 10496 What have I done?"
10496What have I to say--?
10496What insolence is this?
10496What is it to me, what you choose to think?
10496What is it?
10496What is that to me?
10496What proof do you want?
10496What then?
10496What was it?
10496What-- what do you mean?
10496What--?
10496What--?
10496When am I to see him? 10496 When did you last search their quarters?"
10496Where are you going?
10496Where is the Princess Sofia?
10496Where?
10496Who are you?
10496Who knows but that to- morrow will bring your night of nights, my friend?
10496Who knows, madame?
10496Who knows?
10496Who knows?
10496Whoever would have thought that you... How did you escape?
10496Wholly, without reserve?
10496Why did you hate it, sir?
10496Why else should you be admitted to these rooms without question in his absence?
10496Why not? 10496 Why not?"
10496Why not?
10496Why not?
10496Why not?
10496Why not?
10496Why ring?
10496Why should I be?
10496Why,the prince demanded, nervously--"why did you ring?"
10496Why-- why--she faltered--"what-- who are you and where are you taking me?"
10496Why? 10496 Why?"
10496Why?
10496With Eleven coming here to tell us when we are to strike?
10496With what?
10496Without error?
10496Women and children, potential sympathizers and supporters of all classes?
10496Woodbines again?
10496Would you wish me to call a bobby and give''i m in charge?
10496Yes, sir?
10496Yes,Sofia assented in a whisper--"why not?"
10496You are a strange man, monsieur...."And what shall one say of madame la princesse?
10496You believe she will do all you have ordered?
10496You do n''t know how to thank me-- do you? 10496 You do not understand?
10496You got my messages, then? 10496 You have been in London?"
10496You have caught him listening at doors?
10496You have heard of crystal- gazing? 10496 You have my word as to that,"he said; and after a moment of thoughtful consideration:"You speak, no doubt, from the facts?"
10496You have not failed to watch him closely?
10496You knew-- you, who claim to be my father-- yet permitted him--?
10496You know that for a fact? 10496 You like it, eh?
10496You mean there is danger?
10496You mean,Sturm stammered, perturbed,"you think he knows-- suspects?"
10496You rang, sir?
10496You rang, sir?
10496You recall what arrangements we made this afternoon for to- morrow?
10496You see that omnibus yonder? 10496 You think so?"
10496You think so?
10496You think, then, it is Lanyard--?
10496You will give yourself back to me?
10496You will not forget these things?
10496You''re sure it is n''t Michael Lanyard?
10496You, sir?
10496Your friends,he observed,"were a thought behindhand, eh?
10496Your life--?
10496''Must I tell you?_''"] TO J. PARKER READ, JR., ESQ.
10496A look of insensate jealousy... To risk forfeiting the comradeship that had grown to be so dear?
10496A tense voice interrupted with the demand:"How?"
10496Adept in black arts of the Orient as he was said to be, what wizardry was he brewing with the aid of that traditional tool of the necromancer?
10496Am I still beautiful?"
10496And is it a secret, how you propose to stand against my will?"
10496And what had this consultation of the occult to do with the man''s mind concerning herself?
10496And what land has been better tilled?
10496And what right has he got to look like that?"
10496And whether the magic were white or black-- what matter?
10496And why?
10496And your advice--?"
10496And--_why_?
10496Are there any more bids?
10496Are you mad?"
10496Are you ready to give it up?"
10496Are you theah?"
10496Are you theah?...
10496Are you there?
10496But first, a question: Have you yourself formed any theory as to the identity of this hostile intelligence which has so hindered us of late?"
10496But how about yourself in this house?"
10496But need one be crudely explicit?"
10496But was she as radiant as she had been?
10496But what good will that do you, do you think?
10496But what in life is not?
10496But what of that?
10496But what the devil had made it so precious to the soi- disant Prince Victor and his charming wife?
10496But what?
10496But who knows?"
10496But you were about to say--?"
10496But-- who knows?"
10496Did it stub its toe and fall?"
10496Do n''t you know?"
10496Do you ask more proof of the man''s madness?
10496Do you know that?"
10496Do you take me for a Jew?"
10496Do you understand?
10496Does not our situation speak for itself?"
10496Eh?
10496For treating myself to an amusing adventure?"
10496Hand steady enough to write me a cheque, do you think?"
10496Has anything gone wrong?"
10496Has one asked you to speak?
10496Have you committed all this to memory?"
10496Have you forgotten you have a bad heart?--that excitement may mean your sudden death?"
10496He laughed and ventured with a hesitation quite boyish:"I say, Prince Victor-- if it''s not an impertinent question-- was there any truth in that?
10496His voice, slightly tremulous with emotion, uttered her name:"Sofia?"
10496How can I know--?"
10496How could it be otherwise?
10496How dare you pry into my letters?"
10496How do you know--?"
10496How should it be otherwise?
10496How-- when--?"
10496I ask you: Is there any way we can hold on to that money unless I marry Sofia?
10496I say: that you, Prince Victor?"
10496If she is caught, that gives you a power over her?"
10496If you care to seek her favour?"
10496Impressed and puzzled, she uttered a prompting"Yes?"
10496In a voice more than commonly rich with accent, Sturm demanded sharply:"What is this?
10496In the room with them, perhaps?
10496In the study of Prince Victor Vassilyevski the man Sturm put an impatient question:"Well?
10496Is it not so, mon prince?"
10496Is it the Portfolio of the Minister of Education you''ve picked out for your very own, after the explosion comes off-- if it''s a fair question?"
10496Is not that which was lost restored again to me?
10496Is not the Future always a riddle?
10496Is that clear?
10496Is that clear?"
10496Is the apartment ready for the Princess Sofia?"
10496Karslake?"
10496Karslake?"
10496Marriage and independence: how do you reconcile that paradox?"
10496May one ask what happened?
10496Nogam delivered them?"
10496Now where did you leave your coat and hat?
10496On my bed, as you came in?"
10496Or did you think I would forget?"
10496Or do n''t you believe in the Powers of Darkness, either?"
10496Or to be constructively derelict in her duty as a daughter?
10496Or was it some secret faculty of the soul, telepathy or of its kin, that roused and sent her to keep her rendezvous with destiny?
10496Presently, in a tone so even it won begrudged admiration, she asked:"Where are you taking me?"
10496Prince Victor home yet?"
10496Prince Victor uttered with dry accent:"Why?"
10496Puzzled, she faltered:"I do n''t understand--""Surely you do n''t wish me to believe my pretty Sofia has turned thief?"
10496Shaik Tsin enquired briefly:"It is accomplished, then?"
10496She mustered up courage enough to ask:"How--?"
10496So what''s the good of bickering about it?...
10496Sofia cried,"you knew my mother?"
10496Surely you did n''t take him seriously?"
10496That sinister figure at the table, absorbed in study of the inscrutable sphere-- what did he see there, to hold his faculties in such deep eclipse?
10496The ancients were more wise, they knew there was more in Heaven and Earth.... You are incredulous?
10496The letters were hers, were they not?
10496Then why try?
10496Then, to the injunction,"Tell me what you are to do to- morrow night?"
10496There''s your friend, the Lone Wolf, for instance...""Have you not forgotten him yet?"
10496Thirteen?"
10496This man, Nogam: where did you pick him up?"
10496To his insistent"Have I made you understand?"
10496To my own daughter?"
10496To say"walk out and make an end of it"was all very well; but assuming that she ever should muster up spirit enough to do it-- what then?
10496To the Irishman he added:"You understand the danger, I believe, of remaining within the condemned area-- that is to say, except in the open air?"
10496To- night?"
10496To- night?"
10496Unstirring Victor enquired:"What is it, Nogam?"
10496Up with you and sit quietly beside me-- do you hear?"
10496Victor was holding his arms open; and how should she deny him?
10496Waiting for what?
10496Was Victor right, then, and the crime he had willed her to commit in final analysis not repugnant to her instincts?
10496Was not a fortune slipping through her avaricious fingers?
10496Was the shadow of to- morrow already dimming her loveliness?
10496What are a few lives more or less in London?
10496What could she do?
10496What did it matter?
10496What good--?"
10496What had become of that sentence to death?
10496What had made him think Sofia would prove loath to resign it to him, or more likely to give it to another?
10496What had rendered the conquest of her confidence so needful in his sight?
10496What his game?
10496What is it?"
10496What matters whether to- night or a week from to- night-- since we can not fail?"
10496What proof had she that he was her father?
10496What spectacle of divination was in those pellucid depths unfolding to his rapt vision?
10496What the deuce, then, was the fellow up to, that he should glower and dodge like a sleuth in a play?
10496What then?"
10496What was he doing, that you should--?"
10496What was this consolation?
10496What you make of it-- hein?"
10496What''s the matter?
10496What, then, if he were not her father?
10496Where did you get hold of that name?"
10496Which way should she turn, once she had passed out through the doors?
10496Whistle up a growler, will you?"
10496Who had egged Karslake on, as he had asserted,"to win her confidence,"leaving to him the choice of means to that end?
10496Who is the sentimentalist now-- eh?"
10496Who''s there?
10496Why did Shaik Tsin--?"
10496Why did n''t you answer more promptly?
10496Why do n''t you answer?"
10496Why had Victor hesitated to bid for her confidence with his own tongue, on his own merits?
10496Why not profit by it, turn it to his own advantage?
10496Why not?
10496Why?
10496With such an open occasion, how could one fail?
10496Without moving Victor enquired in a dull voice:"What did you tell her?"
10496Witless, in the extremity of her terror, she stammered:"What do you want?"
10496Would a brandy and soda help, do you think?"
10496Would there be any message, ma''am?"
10496You are a religious man, Nogam?"
10496You are not cross with me?"
10496You do n''t believe?
10496You knew that?"
10496You know that?"
10496You like get up now, take bath, have blekfuss?"
10496You see this gentleman?"
10496You understand?"
10496You, sir--?"
10496Your cheek''s cut and all( shall we say, in deference to the well- known prejudices of the dear B.P.?)
10496_ Was_ he?
10496he exclaimed in accents of contrite surprise,"have I kept you waiting long?"
10496he pleaded--"get me by the throat, throw me back across the desk--""What do you mean?
10496he replied, as who should say:"Does it matter?"
10496it said"Will you be good enough to put me through to Monsieur Lanyard?"
10496she questioned--"to- night?"
10496the Irishman persisted in incredulous horror--"all?"
10496you here already?"
9908''Inside job?''
9908''Ow abaht an inch or two o''the bay''net to loosen''is tongue?
9908..._ fools jumping overboard like cattle_...."_ What''s that rocket? 9908 A chap with a beard, perhaps?"
9908A great pity,he muttered, opening a locker and fumbling in its depths--"rotten pity....""What?"
9908According to my information, he won the love of a young woman--"And reformed for her sake, of course?
9908Ah, but grant, for the sake of argument, that these brave fellows, the guards, aim poorly in this gloom?
9908Am I to understand I am accused?
9908An extraordinary man, by all accounts.... Those other callers--?
9908And Colonel Stanistreet--?
9908And how does one effect miracles?
9908And how indulgent, monsieur?
9908And how may I have the pleasure of being of service?
9908And if I fail?
9908And if so, sir...?
9908And in exchange what do I give?
9908And locked the door after him?
9908And the other?
9908And then--?
9908And what do you ask for it, sir?
9908And what name shall I say?
9908And what,a satiric English voice enquired,"do you assume that reason to be?"
9908And you miss nothing else?
9908And you think the thief would attempt to smuggle his loot out of the country aboard such a ship as this?
9908And you''ll excuse me, Miss Brooke? 9908 And you, sir--?"
9908Any idea what she wants?
9908Anything of consequence turned up?
9908Anything you''d like me to do?
9908Are you by any chance amusing yourself at my expense?
9908Are you in love with the English girl?
9908Are you sure?
9908Awake, eh?
9908Base?
9908Because of that packet?
9908Beg pardon, Mr. Blensop--There was an accent of impatience in those beautifully modulated tones:"Well, what is it now?"
9908Beg pardon, Mr. Blensop...."Yes, Walker?
9908Beginning when?
9908Blensop?
9908But do I hear you offer this to a Frenchman?
9908But do you mind going out this way?
9908But for whose use?
9908But how about the water-- is it deep enough?
9908But what else can you do with it? 9908 But why?"
9908But you are quite sure--?
9908But you?
9908But, mademoiselle, who can say when that will be?
9908But-- how could you know that?
9908Ca n''t I help you?
9908Can I do anything?
9908Can I keep anything from you?
9908Can we do nothing?
9908Can you eat, drink a little champagne?
9908Chaperoning Miss Brooke''s investigations into the seamy side of current social history? 9908 Colonel Stanistreet, what would you think if I were to tell you the combination of your safe?"
9908Colonel Stanistreet? 9908 Colonel Stanistreet?"
9908Colonel Stanistreet?
9908Criminal?
9908Delmonico''s at eight?
9908Deserter, eh? 9908 Did n''t I tell you everybody alive would be here?"
9908Did n''t it strike you as odd she should wish to be left alone with Lieutenant Thackeray?
9908Did you not know I had married? 9908 Do I understand America has declared war?"
9908Do n''t you think I''d tell if I did know?
9908Do you find anything?
9908Do you imagine I take this seriously?
9908Do you know me now-- the man you thought you''d drowned a hundred fathoms deep?
9908Do you mean to tantalize me longer with your reticence?
9908Do you mind taking that with you? 9908 Do you not know it yourself, my friend?"
9908Document?
9908Does seem odd, does n''t it, sir? 9908 Ekstrom?
9908Excellent.... How long can he last, do you think, at this pace?
9908Funny,he mused,"if that''s why they held us up....""Comment, monsieur?"
9908German spy?
9908Had n''t I better put these in the safe first?
9908Half an hour?
9908Has Stone turned up anything of interest, sir?
9908Have I ever had secrets from you? 9908 Have I not given you freedom of ship?
9908Have another drink? 9908 Have you finished with the safe?
9908He is dead enough,he announced, eyeing Lanyard morosely--"beyond helping.... Look here; are you with me or against me?"
9908Her fiancà ©?
9908How came you overboard?
9908How can I be prevented from leaving when I will, from a public restaurant?
9908How can I communicate with you in event of necessity after we get to New York?
9908How did you happen to be up and dressed at that late hour, so ready to respond to this-- ah-- premonition of yours?
9908How did you learn about that, by the way?
9908How do you do?
9908How does it go, now?
9908How is that?
9908How is that?
9908How long since he wakened?
9908How long?
9908How much have we on hand, in the emergency fund?
9908How often must I tell you,Lanyard enquired,"all this talk of documents is Greek to me?"
9908How regrettable? 9908 How should you?"
9908How so? 9908 How the devil did he get out here?"
9908How to judge, when one has never seen mademoiselle distressed on behalf of another?
9908How-- how do you know that?
9908How?
9908Howdy, Ember? 9908 Howson anywhere about?"
9908Hush?
9908I am afraid he will not be home till very late to- night, but--"Then to- morrow?
9908I beg your pardon?
9908I escaped, no matter how...."You do n''t know who stole the packet?
9908I may tell you this much, Monsieur Duchemin: if it had not reached this country safely.... What am I saying? 9908 I say, do tell me what that''s for?"
9908I say, you did n''t, did you, really?
9908I shall be glad if you will, sir.... Monsieur Duchemin,Stanistreet began, but hesitated--"or do you prefer another style?"
9908I take it nobody''s been pawing over this since the late, as you might say, unpleasantness?
9908I trust you lost nothing of value?
9908I''ll do my best, but-- I say-- will it bang?
9908I''m to be back at midnight?
9908If I can...."Then why, mademoiselle, did you try my door last night?
9908If all Americans are like that--"Shall we go up?
9908If mademoiselle would be so good as to tell me something in return--?
9908If you cared to ask me to dine with you to- morrow-- I mean, to- night--"You would--?
9908If you love Karl as little as I...."But where do you suppose the good man is, this night of nights?
9908In God''s name, monsieur-- who?
9908In Heaven''s name, Monsieur Duchemin, what are you doing? 9908 Indeed?
9908Is it possible you do n''t know this place? 9908 Is that all?"
9908Is that necessary? 9908 Is there anything more?"
9908Is this the man who returns at midnight?
9908It is an affair of some delicacy.... Do we speak alone, Colonel Stanistreet?
9908Just so: why should I?
9908Lis''n, boss: is this all right, on the level, now?
9908Mademoiselle has not been injured?
9908Monsieur Duchemin, are you armed?
9908Monsieur Duchemin, what is your trouble?
9908Monsieur had made reservations, no?
9908Monsieur is not leaving?
9908Monsieur means--?
9908More than we bargained for?
9908Mr. Ember, I believe?
9908Must you go now, my dear?
9908Must you go now?
9908My dear sir,Stanistreet demanded--"who are you?"
9908My dear,he said, teasingly,"do you really want to know what has become of that paper?"
9908Need you ask?
9908Need you ask?
9908Never fear for me...."But if I do? 9908 Not a bad notion, is it?
9908Not that Bavarian?
9908Now if you''ll just run your fingers through your hair and rest them on this slide, light but steady...."What for?
9908Now that is settled: what is it you are instructed to propose to me?
9908On the Emperor''s service--"What''s that?
9908Or an English traitor?
9908Over to the beach you mean? 9908 Pardon, Monsieur Crane, but what is that you say--''this way out''?"
9908Rather chancy course to take in this business, what?
9908Risk his ship? 9908 Same as come in when you do,''bout''leven o''clock-- remembuh?"
9908Scotland Yard to the contrary notwithstanding?
9908Shall I give you the key?
9908She asked for Colonel Stanistreet or for me?
9908Shot through the shoulder, that is all.... Schuyler nine, three hundred? 9908 Sir?"
9908So the good Herr Doctor thought he had better come up for air, eh? 9908 So you begin to appreciate that we mean business, yes?
9908Sorry?
9908Still...."I trust Monsieur does not question my good faith?
9908Suppose I make one-- tip you overboard, take to my heels--?
9908Thank you, monsieur...?
9908Thank you...."Very tired?
9908That the Boche had specific instructions to waylay and sink the_ Assyrian_? 9908 The Boche?"
9908The criminal escaped--?
9908The good Herr Captain,Lanyard suggested pleasantly,"is not in the most agreeable of tempers, yes?"
9908The little lady did n''t seem to take on more''n she naturally would if the lieutenant''d been a stranger, eh?
9908The night may yet come when you and I shall meet at the Metropole or the Admiral''s Palace.... Who knows?
9908Then what made the silly ass quit?
9908Then why so keen to get the Brooke girl on the telephone as soon as you found out where she was stopping?
9908Then you know nothing--?
9908Then-- God in Heaven!--why we standing here? 9908 Then-- I understand-- Monsieur Duchemin must have told you--?"
9908There has been an accident of some sort, Colonel Stanistreet?
9908They die out there,she said, in murmurs barely audible...."We turn our backs on them.... You think that right?"
9908This is the gentleman?
9908To cover the body? 9908 To see me, Walker?"
9908Was I long?
9908We-- I have much to thank you for already, monsieur, much more than I can ever hope to reward adequately--"Reward?
9908Well, Walker?
9908Well, monsieur: the application of your adage?
9908Well, monsieur?
9908Well, sullen, w''ere''s yer manners? 9908 Well?
9908What can have become of it? 9908 What could I say, sir?
9908What did you say to her?
9908What do you imagine I heard to- night? 9908 What do you mean to do?"
9908What do you mean?
9908What do you want of me?
9908What does he know?
9908What else, Captain Osborne?
9908What else, sir?
9908What else?
9908What for? 9908 What have you lost?"
9908What if I tell you?
9908What is it?
9908What is it?
9908What is it?
9908What is life?
9908What is that you say?
9908What is the matter?
9908What is your name, my man?
9908What makes you think Colonel Stanistreet is connected with the British Secret Service?
9908What of him?
9908What of it? 9908 What put that into your pretty head, Sophie?"
9908What same boy?
9908What shall we do with this fellow, sir?
9908What sort of things?
9908What the devil has come over you?
9908What then, Monsieur Duchemin?
9908What were you doing on board the_ Assyrian_?
9908What were you doing there?
9908What''s that you say?
9908What''s this about the Lone Wolf?
9908What''s this?
9908What, for instance?
9908When did this come for me?
9908When you have memorized the address you will destroy it?
9908Where are we?
9908Where is it?
9908Where would you go? 9908 Which--?"
9908Who are you? 9908 Who are you?"
9908Who boasted he was the Lone Wolf?
9908Who brought it?
9908Who knows? 9908 Who knows?"
9908Who was it?
9908Who, then, is this?
9908Why did you leave Miss Brooke alone before she called the doctor?
9908Why did you not inform me?
9908Why do you continue so persistently antagonistic?
9908Why do you hesitate?
9908Why do you say that?
9908Why is a lone wolf, anyway?
9908Why not?
9908Why not?
9908Why not?
9908Why not?
9908Why not?
9908Why should I?
9908Why should you?
9908Why?
9908Why?
9908Why?
9908Will you do this for me, Monsieur Duchemin? 9908 With the prospect of a bottle with you?
9908With what specific performance?
9908Wot do yer mike of''i m, corp''ril?
9908Wot''s yer gime? 9908 Would it not be well now to call the ship''s surgeon?"
9908Yes, Herr Captain?
9908Yes, monsieur? 9908 Yes; but suppose the beast knows the contents of this paper, suspects the authorship of the''frame- up''--as he instinctively would-- and blabs?
9908You abandon your seclusion-- leave your secret unguarded?
9908You are surprised, yes? 9908 You are wounded?"
9908You ca n''t mean Lieutenant Thackeray--?
9908You ca n''t mean,Lanyard pursued, learning something helpful every moment,"there is no communicating road?"
9908You came back to serve France?
9908You do n''t think I''m the thief, do you?
9908You gave it back to Miss Brooke?
9908You have found no clues--?
9908You have missed something?
9908You know the number?
9908You place no value on life?
9908You refuse me the appointment?
9908You returned to Paris?
9908You saw that animal outside the walls?
9908You think it as serious as all that?
9908You think that--?
9908You understand it must not be taken from you under any circumstance? 9908 You understand, my clear fellow--?"
9908You want me to swear--?
9908You were saying your business was...?
9908You will smoke?
9908You wo n''t mind staying here a moment, standing guard, while I fetch a dressing from my room?
9908You wo n''t say what you wish to see him about?
9908Your employment?
9908Your handiwork, dear friend?
9908Your price?
9908_ Why not? 9908 A click answered, and a bland voice which was not the voice he had expected to hear:Hello?
9908A target for what?...
9908A third voice chimed in:"''Ello?
9908A voice with the intonation of habitual command enquired:"What have we here?"
9908Again, why?
9908Ai n''t it the truth, you never know your luck?"
9908Also, you will not forget....""What?"
9908Am I right, Monsieur Duchemin?"
9908Am I to accept your unsupported word?"
9908And if they can get by your Secret Service, to say nothing of Scotland Yard, what''s to prevent their fixing to leave the country?"
9908And in what respect?"
9908And now that he was reminded of it, was not this, perhaps, but a device of the enemy''s to decoy him from the comparative safety of his stateroom?
9908And these gentlemen?"
9908And to what end had they exploded that light bomb on the after deck?
9908And what if she were innocent?
9908And will you excuse me--?"
9908And would she make love- trysts on the decks by night?
9908And yet... what the deuce was she to this man whom, indisputably, she followed against his wish?
9908Apthorp?"
9908Because the document was salable, and"Karl"intended to realize its value for his personal benefit?
9908Blensop?"
9908Blensop?"
9908Blensop?"
9908But how far?
9908But if I have n''t got your fingerprints, how am I going to tell them from the thief''s?"
9908But in what quarter thereof?
9908But its significance?...
9908But this note, this hurried, unsigned scrawl of five unintelligible words: what the deuce did it mean?
9908But what good was that to him?
9908But what to think now?
9908But what was this Brooke girl doing in that galley?
9908But when do we begin to talk business?"
9908But which?...
9908But why should she have assumed that Lanyard had not disposed of the trust about his person?
9908But why''allies''?"
9908But wot''s all this''important information''?"
9908By whom?
9908Ca n''t you arrange for me to see your employer to- night?"
9908Carn''t yer answer a civil question?"
9908Cecelia Brooke?
9908Could he, even though what he had warned her he might be, the greatest rogue unhung, be false to a trust reposed in him by such a woman?
9908Did he distrust the latter?
9908Did you not know?"
9908Did you think him idiot enough to carry it where you''d find it at the first dip?
9908Do the swine want us to shell their boats_?"
9908Do you hear, imbecile?"
9908Do you imagine I could rest if I thought you had sacrificed yourself for me?"
9908Do you mind taking over my job?"
9908Do you understand?
9908Do you understand?"
9908Do you understand?"
9908Do you wish to speak to him?"
9908Eh, Monsieur Duchemin?"
9908Ember?"
9908Even I, too, often am put to it to make both ends--""If you please, sir-- how much?"
9908Eventually, in sequel to more abuse of the hook, he received this response from the Knickerbocker switchboard:"Wait a min''te, ca n''t you?
9908Feeling better now?"
9908For that matter, why had he felt called so publicly to descant upon the natural history of the Lone Wolf?
9908Forget to put perfume on yer pocket-''andkerchief-- or wot?"
9908Good- night, mademoiselle...?"
9908H''m.... Young and good- looking?"
9908Had he been dreaming, then?
9908Had his assailant, then, unwrapped it subsequently?
9908Had she likewise, perhaps, received some secret signal from the guardian of the lower gateway?
9908Had the Knickerbocker operator been less stupid and negligent than she seemed?
9908Had the accomplices of the dead Baron von Harden set off an infernal machine aboard the vessel?
9908Have you a key to his rooms?"
9908Have you any idea of its value?"
9908He must play for time...."How rewarded?"
9908He must.... To what end?
9908He swung around, clapped receiver to ear, snapped an impatient"Well?"
9908Himself?
9908How had its bandages come to be unwrapped?
9908How should they?
9908How was he to know he had hardly left his lodgings before their hush was interrupted by the grumble of the house telephone?
9908How''s that?"
9908How?
9908Howdy, Lanyard-- or are you Duchemin again?"
9908I had no idea he was in New York-- had you?"
9908I mean to say, you married, did n''t you?"
9908I never dreamed.... Is it really you?"
9908I presume it did n''t occur to you that the young woman might need further protection?"
9908I say, are n''t you a bit late?"
9908I should have said: what are you to do?"
9908If I''m not back in half an hour you''ll see her safely home, of course?"
9908If so, with what end in view?
9908If you must know....""Well, Monsieur Lanyard?"
9908Impossible to believe his disguise had been so soon penetrated.... And yet, again, that gossip of the smoking room.... Police work?
9908Impossible to conceive how that was ever done.... Why should he care to go on living?
9908In order to focus upon that one the attentions of his enemies?
9908In the latter event, who was conceivably responsible but Velasco, Dressier, O''Reilly-- any one of these, or all three working in concert?
9908In the name of reason, why?
9908Intelligible was the half- frantic demand:"Who the devil are you?"
9908Is all that clear, imbeciles?"
9908Is it material which way I leave?"
9908Is it part of your system with women always to be a little late, always to keep us wondering?"
9908Is it that you grow unwary through drug- using?
9908Is this a time for childishness--?"
9908Looking down with an apologetic smile, he asked:"Mademoiselle, do you know you can be an excellent actress?"
9908May I call for you?"
9908May I venture to hope mademoiselle will prove as ready to command my services?"
9908May we sit down?"
9908Mind leaving by this emergency exit?"
9908No?"
9908Now what was this which Mr. Blensop so spontaneously had, and from the having of which he derived so much apparently innocent enjoyment?
9908Or had Ekstrom''s creatures picked up his trail once more?
9908Or had she neglected to turn the switch when she went out?
9908Or perhaps you are sulky, resenting that our cleverness has found you out?
9908Or to put him on guard?
9908Or was that, too, a freak of his imagination?
9908Or why had Velasco been so quick to communicate recognition of Lanyard to an employee of the United States Secret Service?
9908Please to tell me how you knew this was my stateroom?"
9908Please-- what time is it?"
9908Shall I tell''something?"
9908Shall you be long, George?"
9908She demanded sharply:"Whom?"
9908Still-- if I may venture the suggestion-- those windows open upon a garden, I take it?"
9908Stone?"
9908Stone?"
9908That you, Jack?"
9908The commander stared churlishly, then addressed Lanyard:"How are you now?"
9908Then how to hide the paper?
9908Then whose...?
9908Then why...?
9908Then--"How did you guess?"
9908To keep a jealous eye on the Lone Wolf, perhaps?
9908To make the_ Assyrian_ a glaring target in the night-- what else?
9908To what end?
9908True: I was born an Austrian; but is that any reason why I should love Germany?"
9908Was his tongue therein as well?
9908Was it possible, then, that the United States had already declared war on Germany?
9908Was one to esteem Velasco friend or foe?
9908Was the reason brute apathy or sheer foolhardihood?
9908Was there a hint of irony in Blensop''s employment of that style?
9908Was there a link between that circumstance and the long delay which Lanyard had suffered in the telephone booth?
9908Was there an accent of hesitation in this response?
9908Was there any reasonable explanation of the strange lack of his wonted self- sufficiency in the company of Cecelia Brooke?
9908Was this merely the reaction from some bitter nightmare?
9908Was this what Sophie had noticed?
9908We need only publish the fact that Mr. Anthony Ember is the Lone Wolf....""Well?"
9908We speak together like good friends, yes?"
9908We were so comfy at the Ritz, too....""The Crystal Room?"
9908Well, what then?
9908What I want to know is, did you?"
9908What conceivable motive induced her to dabble those slender hands in the muck and blood of Secret Service work?
9908What do you say to that, eh?"
9908What do you think of that for a joke, eh?"
9908What had happened?
9908What had prevented his dealing out to Ekstrom the punishment he had so well earned?
9908What had the American noticed, or been told, to make him surmise covert sympathy between the girl and the lieutenant?
9908What hidden motive excused this singular hesitation to summon the surgeon, this reluctance to inform the officers of the ship?
9908What if she proved to be all she seemed?
9908What if, after all, these doubts of her were the specious spawn of facts misinterpreted, misconstrued?
9908What is your name?"
9908What is your price to Germany?"
9908What more natural than that she should make early occasion to consult the head of the British Secret Service in America?
9908What next?"
9908What other market--?"
9908What punishment have you prepared for me specifically, if I fail to accomplish this task which baffles your-- shrewdness?"
9908What room in that dark heart of his for love?...
9908What though he had to- night forfeited his chances?
9908What to do without arms?
9908What was her name?
9908What was his life?
9908What was it to him?
9908What''s this?"
9908What?
9908Where is that document?"
9908Who cares?"
9908Who else?
9908Who knows?
9908Who might this neighbour be who tried his door so stealthily?
9908Who''s there?"
9908Why did you not look around, help yourself?
9908Why had Thackeray carried that sound arm in a sling?
9908Why had he been lured to this place, if its character were truly what he feared?
9908Why had this Miss Cecelia Brooke, surprising the thug at his work, joined battle with him so bravely and so madly without calling for help?
9908Why must he have fallen in so readily with her suggestion?
9908Why not change all that?"
9908Why not?
9908Why not?"
9908Why this infatuate thirst for sympathy, this eagerness to violate the seals of reticence at the wish of a strange woman?
9908Why-- ah, monsieur!--why must you do this?"
9908Why?
9908Why?
9908Will you accompany me?"
9908Without looking round Lanyard answered in the same manner:"Why ask more than you are prepared to give?"
9908Wot''s all the row abaht?"
9908Wot''s up?
9908Would life be sweeter if one found a way to restore to Cecelia Brooke her precious document and to smuggle back to Mrs. Arden her pilfered diamonds?
9908Would she, under any conceivable circumstances, entrust to that same stranger that selfsame secret upon whose inviolate preservation so much depended?
9908Would such an one confess she had a"secret"to an utter stranger, as she had to Lanyard that first night out?
9908Would this deadly ache of loneliness be less poignant with Ekstrom dead?
9908Yes, Karl?"
9908Yet distress was too eloquent in the broken query:"What_ am_ I to do?"
9908You are thinking it over?
9908You are with friends?"
9908You do n''t believe I do, do you?"
9908You kamerad-- wot?"
9908he growled--"or must I tear your arm from its socket?
9908he purred soothingly--"why did n''t you tell me last night it was you who had sent that telegram?
9908how did that get on board?"
9908what was any woman to him?
9908what''s that searchlight?"
9908will you never die?"
26651''How the hell,''sez I,''do I get out of here?'' 26651 ''Well,''said I,''what''s troubling_ you_ and your gun, my friend?''
26651''What shall I care?'' 26651 ''What''s the matter with you?''
26651A little before nine----"You can make it in the flivver, ca n''t you?
26651Acquitted?
26651Almost on the minute,nodded Darragh...."You saw no signs of Quintana''s gang?"
26651And now I wanta to ask, What place did you prepare for my Eve? 26651 Any o''you fellas seen a package here on the pyazza?"
26651Are you going on after Quintana?
26651Are you lonely, Eve?
26651Are you one of Quintana''s people?
26651Are you so sure I know what I''d do? 26651 Are you suffering?"
26651Are_ you_ Hal Smith?
26651Bad?
26651Be you ready, Eve?
26651Bogged? 26651 Booze agents or game protectors?
26651But,he added,"what''s your idea in following her?"
26651But,he thought uneasily,"what is it that I bring home this time?
26651Ca n''t you tell me a little more, Jim?
26651Can you always spot them, Mike?
26651Clinch,continued Lannis,"have you heard about a stick- up on the wood- road out of Ghost Lake?"
26651Clinch?
26651Comment?
26651Could I see Dad a moment alone?
26651Could you put them into your pocket?
26651Dad, darling?
26651Diamonds?
26651Did I ask your advice?
26651Did dad say I am to stay in bed?
26651Did n''t you kill Kloon?
26651Did that dirty louse misuse you?
26651Did they ever get anything on you?
26651Did they give any names?
26651Did you beef to that trooper?
26651Did you kill him? 26651 Did you really stick up this man?"
26651Did you really suppose it was these that brought me across the ocean? 26651 Did you see anybody else?"
26651Do the State Troopers ever play detective?
26651Do you know the story?
26651Do you realise how she feels toward you, Jim?
26651Do you remember that the Reds were accused of burning her château and looting it?
26651Do you remember what I did?
26651Do you square yourself or no?
26651Do you suppose I believe a man who has lied to Dad?
26651Do you think I''m crazy?
26651Do you think we''re so rotten?
26651Do you think you''d better-- at such a time?
26651Does Darragh know?
26651Does Eve know about the jewels?
26651Does that drain lead into the lake?
26651Dogs?
26651Done what?
26651Entirely?
26651Eve, dear,he said,"are you in pain?
26651Eve,he said hoarsely,"be you hurted?"
26651Eve,he said,"you look very white and ill. Have you been hurt somewhere, and have n''t you admitted it?"
26651For Quintana?
26651For why you com- a here, eh?
26651God A''mighty, Mike, what be you aimin''to do?
26651Goin''to see it out with me, Hal?
26651Got my packet, Hal?
26651H''ain''t you seen nobody?
26651Had you recovered all the jewels for the Grand Duchess?
26651Hal?
26651Has anybody picked up Quintana''s tracks?
26651Have any strangers been here since Saturday evening?
26651Have the boys below got him?
26651Have you no decency, no shame?
26651How I know? 26651 How about that egg?"
26651How about you?
26651How can you forgive_ me_, Eve?
26651How did you get back dad''s money?
26651How do I know?
26651How do you feel?
26651How far is it?
26651How long are you going to be away?
26651How long?
26651How shall I know? 26651 How''s the fur market, Jake?"
26651How_ could_ you?
26651Humbly? 26651 I have important news concerning José Quintana,"whispered Darragh;"Where is Sard?"
26651I was jokin'',gasped Leverett;"--I was jest a- goin''to give it to you----""Is that my packet?"
26651I''m tellin''you, ai n''t I?
26651If he''s nothing to you, why do you point that rifle at me?
26651If you go to the chair for murder, what good will it do Eve?
26651Is a girl more so than a man?
26651Is he a Trooper in plain clothes?
26651Is he one of the Commissioner''s spies? 26651 Is he the fellow who misused you?"
26651Is he your enemy or your stepfather''s?
26651Is it not modest of a young girl to say this? 26651 Is it you, Harry Beck?"
26651Is there any harm in a chicken supper and a dance?
26651Is there,he asked softly,"any gentleman who shall objec''?"
26651It is Harry Beck, yes?
26651It is propose, then, that we abandon our comrades Beck and Salzar to the rifle of Mike Clinch?
26651It scares me to remember what I tried to do.... What a frightful thing-- if I had killed you----How_ can_ you forgive me?
26651It''s a hatchery----"Whose?
26651Jake?
26651Jake?
26651Ma''am?
26651Ma''am?
26651Ma''am?
26651Ma''am?
26651Masked, wa''n''t he?
26651Mike,suggested Smith carelessly,"would n''t it pay you better to go straight?"
26651Mrs. Ray will look out for her.... You have n''t told Eve who I am, have you?
26651My frien'', Smith,repeated Quintana,"do you recollec''what it was you say to me?
26651My packet, it is down in thee sink''ole?
26651My packet?
26651No!--damn it all----"And Jake? 26651 No.... You are so wonderfully kind....""Why should n''t I be kind?"
26651No? 26651 Now,"he said coolly,"what do you bums want of Mike Clinch?"
26651Plenty,replied Darragh coolly;"do you know Quintana?"
26651Say, Jake?
26651Sell what?
26651Shall we put on our snow- shoes and go-- home?
26651She would n''t stand for it?
26651So that was the way?
26651So you have kill Nick Salzar, eh?
26651So,he said,"it was also you who rob me las''night of my property.... What you do to Nick Salzar, eh?"
26651So?
26651Some rough fellow been bothering your little daughter, Clinch?
26651Sure?
26651That''s rather a long shot, is n''t it?
26651That''s_ your_ place, is n''t it?
26651Then he seen me and over he comes and talks English right away:''Want to make a thousand francs, soldier?'' 26651 To the young Grand Duchess of Esthonia.... Do you remember that I befriended her over there?"
26651To whom do these jewels belong, Jim?
26651Trooper Stormont?
26651Ver''well,nodded Quintana,"are you satisfy, messieurs, to divide an''disperse?"
26651Was n''t you an army officer?
26651Was you an officer?
26651Was you in Roosia?
26651Was you out that way, Mike?
26651We got ta travel a piece, yet.... Say, Jake, be you a man or be you a poor dumb critter what ai n''t got no spunk?
26651Well, she got his pack and found Mike''s watch and jewelry in it----"What jewelry?
26651Well, who do you think he is?
26651Well, you hear it now, do n''t you? 26651 Well,"inquired Jim Hastings finally,"do we quit, Mike, or do we still- hunt in Drowned Valley?"
26651Well?
26651Well?
26651Were you going to tell me where those jewels are hidden, Mike?
26651Were you thinking of_ that_?
26651What are those foreigners doing in the North Woods, Clinch?
26651What are you doing here, Darragh?
26651What are you doing here?
26651What are you doing in this house?
26651What are you going to do?
26651What are you talking about?
26651What do we care what''s in it?
26651What do you care?
26651What do you do when there''s a fight?
26651What do you intend to do?
26651What do you mean?
26651What do you purpose to do, Mike?
26651What do you suppose I do? 26651 What do you think I''d do?"
26651What do you want now?
26651What do you want of Clinch?
26651What does that count for-- what does any damn thing count for against you, girlie?
26651What else?
26651What gang?
26651What happened?
26651What happened?
26651What has Clinch done to you?
26651What has he done?
26651What is it, girlie?
26651What is she going to do, Jack?
26651What is this place?
26651What music is there?
26651What was in it?
26651What was there in it for Jake?
26651What you do by that pond- hole? 26651 What''s in it, dad?"
26651What''s it worth?
26651What''s my share if I go in with you?
26651What''s that to you?
26651What''s that?
26651What''s the idea?
26651What''s the matter with you over there? 26651 What''s_ your_ grievance?"
26651What- a da matt'', eh?
26651What- a da matt''?
26651What?
26651When was that?
26651Where Jake Kloon?
26651Where are they, ma''am?
26651Where be you, Mike?
26651Where did you see him?
26651Where do they all come from? 26651 Where do you keep them?"
26651Where is dad?
26651Where is he, then, this Jake?
26651Where is it, my packet?
26651Where is it?
26651Where is that packet?
26651Where my packet, eh?
26651Where my packet?
26651Where the hell do we meet up with Quintana?
26651Where''d he go?
26651Where''s Hal Smith?
26651Where''s Quintana?
26651Where?
26651Where?
26651Where?
26651Who are the strangers, dad?
26651Who are you?
26651Who are you?
26651Who else do you suppose shot him?
26651Who else was here with you?
26651Who is he?
26651Who put him up to it?
26651Who says so?
26651Who the hell are you, anyway?
26651Who''ll stop me? 26651 Who''s that, Mike?"
26651Who''s this man, Mike?
26651Who,demanded Georgiades hoarsely,"is to divide for us?"
26651Whose jewels were they in the beginning?
26651Whose lodge is this? 26651 Why do you not have some fire?"
26651Why not?
26651Why the hell did n''t you give Quintana the packet?
26651Why you taka my gun?
26651Why? 26651 Why?"
26651Why?
26651Will you be ready by eleven? 26651 Will you follow me, Eve?"
26651Will you let me come up, Eve?
26651Would ye? 26651 Would you lock your door?"
26651Would you read a little?
26651Would you?
26651Yes?
26651Yes?
26651You comin''?
26651You did not shoot? 26651 You do not believe me?"
26651You fellas comin''?
26651You have a hiding place for your rifle?
26651You hear those dogs? 26651 You know me?"
26651You like me some, do n''t you, girlie?
26651You shot him?
26651You size me up?
26651You think I''d talk, Hal?
26651You think I''m lyin''?
26651You think a State Trooper may happen in?
26651You understood, did n''t you?
26651You want me to go into the woods?
26651You want that Hastings boy to bleed to death?
26651You wo n''t kill him?
26651You''ll follow on snow- shoes, wo n''t you, Jack?
26651You''ll not hurt Clinch when he comes to?
26651You''ll stay here with me, wo n''t you?
26651You''re going after Quintana?
26651You''re here to stick up Clinch?
26651''What do you want I should do?''
26651''What the hell''s the trouble?''
26651--Good heavens, Ralph, I have n''t any clothes here, have I?"
26651A dull red tinge came out under Clinch''s tan:"Who asked_ you_ to worry about Eve?"
26651A little snack before cooking a heavily satisfactory dinner?
26651A lonely passion for young and decent companionship?
26651After a little while:"Is yours a lonely life?"
26651After another pause:"Where''s Jake Kloon?"
26651Ai n''t I told you?
26651Ai n''t it a good enough job for you?"
26651Alors?"
26651Also, how could it be proven that Clinch had the Erosite gem?
26651And Sard?
26651And it was Leverett!--it was Leverett!----"Stormont''s face grew very white:"What did he do to you, Eve?
26651And what do you think of that, Quintana?"
26651And why was he so stealthily watching-- silent, unstirring, crouched in the shadows?
26651And, when Wier hurriedly appeared:"What time does the midnight train from New York get into Five Lakes?"
26651And, when the bed was ready:"Can you get a bath towel, Jim?"
26651And-- if you feel like-- coming back to me----""Will you sleep?"
26651Anyone seen which way Jake Kloon went?"
26651Are you one of Quintana''s gang, too?
26651Are you with us?"
26651Are you with us?"
26651Are you, perhaps, a little rested?"
26651Are_ you_ one, too?"
26651At_ what_?
26651Be you tired o''bed an''board?"
26651Before dawn this morning Eve located Quintana, set a bear- trap for him, and caught him with the goods----""What goods?"
26651But I preferred he should tell it to you himself, so I brought him along.... Did you drive Star Peak?"
26651But if he missed?
26651But it''s what that there skunk done to my Evie.... O God, be you listenin''?
26651But where was Clinch?
26651But you''re all a rotten lot----""Hold on,"he interrupted,"what do you mean by that?"
26651But-- do you know why I came here, Eve?"
26651Ca n''t an officer go wrong?"
26651Ca n''t you keep an eye on her, Ralph?"
26651Can you keep a watch on her till I return?"
26651Clinch growled:"I ai n''t never asked no favours of no State Trooper----""He did you a favour, did n''t he?
26651Clinch''s steely glare measured the young man:"You trying to make up to her?"
26651Contritely?"
26651Could any honest man be more tight and snug in this perilous world of the desperate and undeserving?
26651D''you think I''ll run chances of sittin''in State''s Prison for the next ten years and leave Eve out here alone?
26651Darragh looked cautiously around the small office:"Can anybody hear us?"
26651Darragh nodded:"How is she, Jack?"
26651Did n''t you hear me scream?"
26651Did you meet the ladies with your flivver?"
26651Did you suppose it was a passion for these that filled my heart?
26651Did you think it was for these that I followed you?"
26651Do n''t you think we were economical?"
26651Do n''t you wish you was whacks with me?''
26651Do they live in trees like dryads?"
26651Do you feel very lame and sore?"
26651Do you get me, Herr Quintana?"
26651Do you mind helping me out now?"
26651Do you remember what I did to_ you_?"
26651Do you suppose you can come here after Dad is dead and pretend you want to make amends for what your uncle did to us?"
26651Do you think I am fool enough to cut his throat?
26651Do you think you could meet up with him and tip him off?"
26651Do you understand?"
26651Do you understand?"
26651Do you understand?"
26651Does it belong to Harrod Place?"
26651Does that go with Thee, O Lord?
26651Eh?
26651Eh?
26651Eh?
26651Eh?
26651Eh?
26651Eh?
26651Eh?
26651Eh?
26651Eh?"
26651Eh?"
26651Eh?"
26651Fight, too?"
26651For example, what do you suppose I am going to do with this packet in my pocket?"
26651For, if Quintana''s bribery had dazzled them, what effect might the contents of that secret packet have if revealed?
26651Friendship?
26651Had he been crouching there since he made his fire?
26651Had he heard her?
26651Had this sneak, Darragh, betrayed him?
26651Have I here one set of paste facsimiles?...
26651Have a drink?"
26651Have you seen him?"
26651He began to laugh:"Is_ that_ what you''re thinking about?"
26651He did not fire?"
26651He said slowly, like one who does his thinking aloud:"What is it you have done to me, l''ami Clinch?...
26651Hey?
26651How can I sleep?"
26651How could she speak with her mouth full of diamonds?
26651How much is paste?
26651How often it is the onexpected which so usually happen?
26651How should I know?
26651How you have rob me of a pacquet which contain only some chocolate?"
26651How you like it?
26651How''s that, now?"
26651I got ta mosey-- I got ta kinda loaf around f''r a spell----""Dad, I want you to come back with me----""You go home; you hear me, Eve?
26651I waited to get their two steamer trunks and then I drove them to Harrod Place----""How did they seem, Ralph-- worn- out-- worried-- ill?"
26651I would n''t, and he hurt me----""How?"
26651I''m asking you who you are and if you''ve seen my father?"
26651I''m taking no chance.... And I''ll make my peace with Eve-- or somebody will do it for me.... Is it settled then?"
26651I''ve got your parcel... safe....""To hell with the gol- dinged parcel,"he almost sobbed;"--did Quintana harm you?"
26651If you''ll dress for snow- shoeing, Jack can pack what clothes you need.... Are there snow- shoes for him, too?"
26651Is Hal Smith old Harrod''s heir?
26651Is it a go?"
26651Is it not?"
26651Is n''t it better to shoot him after he squeals?
26651Is there any trouble?"
26651It''s the most shameful thing that ever happened to me----""What could anybody do under that rifle?"
26651Jest becuz you stuck up a tourist you think you''re cock o''the North Woods-- with them two foxes lyin''out for to snap you up?
26651Jim is badly hurt; Sid Hone, too,--not so badly----""Where''s Quintana?"
26651Lannis crossed one knee over the other, lighted a cigarette:"Is there a young fellow working for you named Hal Smith?"
26651Lannis remained affable, even became jocose at moments:"No hootch for dinner, Mike?
26651May I hope that I speak, also, for you?
26651Me, how should I know what is to be done?
26651My frien''Clinch, why do you lie there an''smile at me so ver''funny... like you are amuse?...
26651No?"
26651Not in the pants, either?
26651Now, are you going to keep out of this?"
26651Now, do n''t you think you''d better lead me to Sard?"
26651Of what use is he to me?
26651On whom could he count?
26651Once, without turning, she said unsteadily:"Who are you?
26651Or is one set false?...
26651Quintana done that to my little girlie, did he?"
26651Quintana?"
26651Savvy?
26651She flushed swiftly as a terrible suspicion seized her:"Is this Harrod property?
26651She put one arm around Eve''s shoulders:"How could you even think of remaining here all alone?
26651She''s pretty, is n''t she?"
26651Si?"
26651Smith said to Stormont in a low voice:"Do me a favour, Jack?"
26651Smith?"
26651Stormont flushed heavily:"That''s rather wonderful of you, Jim----""Why?
26651Stormont smiled:"Eve,"he said,"do you really think me as yellow as that?"
26651Tell Corny and Dick Berry to hook it for Owl Marsh and stop the Star Peak trails-- both on''em.... Can Sid and Jimmy walk?"
26651That what you want-- you dirty little dump- slut?
26651That''s what I said to Jake Kloon, the last solemn words I spoke to that there man now in his bloody grave----""Hey?"
26651That''s why,"he added thickly,"I''m much obliged to you, Hal Smith.... Go to bed, girlie----""You''re bleeding, dad?"
26651The clean youth of him in contrast to the mangy, surly louts who haunted Clinch''s Dump,--was that the appeal?
26651The girl''s flower- blue eyes turned icy:"Who is the man who calls himself Hal Smith?"
26651The latter smiled, leaned over, and whispered:"Can you walk all right?"
26651Then Stormont''s voice, clear and quiet:"What are_ you_ doing here?
26651Then he took another chance:"I guess you''re Nick Salzar, are n''t you?"
26651Then he turned calmly to Picquet:"An''you, l''ami?"
26651Then his face grew grave:"How is Eve?"
26651Then the question suddenly came,_ which_ direction?
26651Then:"So you are buzzard, eh, Clinch?
26651There was a silence; the State Trooper looked down at the dogs:"What are they, Jim?"
26651To Darragh, in a perplexed, unsteady voice:"Is it the same bandit who robbed us before?"
26651To say that I am a better man?
26651Unnerstan''?"
26651Was Clinch already in the clutch of the State Troopers?
26651Was Stormont involved in this deception-- Stormont, the object of her first girl''s passion-- Stormont, for whom she would have died?
26651Was he in_ jail_?
26651Was n''t you in Russia?"
26651Well, Señor Gendarme, what are you doing here in the Dump of Clinch?"
26651What I do, eh?
26651What I want of a man who can be kill?
26651What am I to do with a gentleman of the Constabulary, eh?
26651What and whose were they,--if Quintana again had the Esthonian gems in his possession?
26651What are you kicking about, anyway?
26651What could_ you_ do with a pair o''foxes like that?"
26651What did he do to you?"
26651What did you expect me to do, Eve?"
26651What do you think?"
26651What do you want of Clinch?"
26651What do_ you_ know about Quintana?
26651What evil had he worked already?
26651What had a creature like that to do with him?
26651What have I done to you?"
26651What in the world did this girl mean, talking about an_ empty_ case?
26651What is it that has happened to you?
26651What is that, then?"
26651What is the use of hurting him?
26651What is there in the pantry?
26651What is this you hide inside your shirt----?"
26651What next?"
26651What of it?
26651What possessed her-- what irresponsible exhilaration was inciting her to a daring utterly foreign to her nature?
26651What spot have you reference to?
26651What the devil are you doing over_ here_?"
26651What to do?
26651What was a man of his breeding and education doing at Clinch''s dump?
26651What you do, eh?
26651What you doing at Clinch''s?"
26651What you say I should do, eh, Abrams?"
26651What''s that to you?"
26651When do they arrive?"
26651Where is Eve?"
26651Where is Sard?"
26651Where is he?"
26651Where is it?
26651Where is it?
26651Where is the packet hidden?"
26651Where was her father?
26651Where you say those carbinieri?
26651Where''ll you set?"
26651Where''s that girl?"
26651Where''s the rest of your gang?"
26651Which is the false-- his jewels or mine?
26651Which?"
26651Who better than the forest- roaming nephew of Henry Harrod should know this blind wilderness?
26651Who could discover him except by accident?
26651Who could forbid him?
26651Who fire a gun?"
26651Who stop him?
26651Who the dev''are you?"
26651Who was he, thees man who rides with my property on your horse away?
26651Who was this man wandering all alone at night off the Drowned Valley trail and probing the darkness with a pole?
26651Who would prowl the midnight wilderness?
26651Why did n''t_ you_ go straight if you think it pays?"
26651Why not quit and take over the Harrod estate?...
26651Why on earth had n''t he made a clean job of it?
26651Why shall I believe that?
26651Why shall I kill you?
26651Why shall we starve here when there lies our path?"
26651Why the devil did you go into the Constabulary without talking to me?"
26651Why was he content to hang around and do chores?
26651Why you bring me this gendarme?
26651Why, for the pleasure of killing you, should I bring your dirty gendarmes on my heels?"
26651Why?
26651Why?"
26651Would a hunter of men build a fire?
26651Would you let me look at them?
26651Would you think a straight girl could stand it?"
26651Yeh fixin''to scare me?
26651Yes?
26651Yes?
26651Yes?
26651Yes?
26651Yes?
26651Yes?
26651Yes?
26651Yes?"
26651Yes?"
26651Yes?"
26651Yes?"
26651Yes?...
26651You are surprise?
26651You did n''t mean my''Dump,''did you?
26651You expec''Quintana?
26651You feed on dead man''s pockets, eh?
26651You know how to move that keystone?"
26651You know where Clinch is?"
26651You know where is Quintana?
26651You like it, eh?
26651You recollec''?
26651You think I let a gendarme rob me?
26651You think you''re that smart?
26651You understan''?"
26651You understand?''
26651You want that I should stick you good?
26651You''ll see to that, wo n''t you?"
26651_ Is_ he?"
26651_ Now_ do you get me, Ralph?"
26651_ Now_, you tell- a me what I do?"
26651_ Whose fire?_ Her father''s?
26651_ Whose fire?_ Her father''s?
26651came Stormont''s sharp cry,"what the devil are you trying to do to me?"
26651he whispered fiercely,"where''s Mike''s packet?
9378A vindictive soul, eh?
9378Acting?
9378Ah, but how can you say that, remembering what we''ve been through together?
9378Ah, then it''s la barbe, is it not?
9378Am I what?
9378Am I wrong in assuming that madame did n''t return from England until quite recently?
9378American, eh?
9378And mademoiselle?
9378And meantime profit by your patience?
9378And now...?
9378And ran away because love was n''t possible between us?
9378And that is--?
9378And they caught him at it, eh?
9378And this monsieur is, no doubt, your aide?
9378And what does that mean?
9378And what has become of your American friend?
9378And who is that?
9378And why must I interest myself in her fate, pray?
9378And you''d backslide--?
9378Antwerp?
9378Apaches?
9378Are n''t you overlooking me?
9378Are you joking?
9378Are you trying to bribe me to let you off with an offer to return my jewels?
9378Are you?
9378As for instance--?
9378Bannon''s as vindictive as that, you think?
9378Business? 9378 But I must admit...""Yes,"the Englishman assented pleasantly;"I did pull your leg-- didn''t I?
9378But any moment you may be recognized--"In this rig? 9378 But came here again tonight, to steal a second time what you had stolen once?"
9378But does he? 9378 But how did she manage to accumulate them all?"
9378But how?
9378But if I can prove I''ve already restored your jewels----?
9378But if it were--?
9378But if you thought that of me then, why did you--?
9378But if, as you suggest, I am-- or was-- acting with a purpose, why expect me to give the show away?
9378But it''s_ my_ life, is n''t it? 9378 But now you''ve changed your mind about me?"
9378But that second thump--?
9378But these?
9378But today, in fact----"And you have n''t troubled to investigate your safe since returning?
9378But what are we to do now?
9378But what do_ you_ know?
9378But where is that?
9378But why be silly about it? 9378 But why do you say that?
9378But why, if you believe all this-- how did you at length find courage--?
9378But why----?
9378But why? 9378 But why?"
9378But why?
9378But why?
9378But you are not happy to- night?
9378But you do n''t understand--"Can you tell me-- make me understand?
9378But you wo n''t let your friends here outdo you in civility, I trust?
9378But you''re mistaken: I knew you instantly, did n''t I? 9378 But you''ve no friends in Paris--?"
9378But you?
9378But,she persisted impatiently--"you have n''t answered me: what is this impasse Stanislas?"
9378But,the American persisted,"perhaps you can tell us how they got on his track?"
9378But-- but--"Yes?
9378But-- eh-- where are you going?
9378But-- if that is so-- then what--?
9378By the way,the adventurer presently pursued,"you might be good enough to inform me how you knew where we were dining-- eh?"
9378By what warrant?
9378Ca n''t you see I''ve been saving the bottle for you?
9378Can I blame you for thinking what you did?
9378Can you make out who he is?
9378Compensated?
9378Could it be otherwise, after receipt of your honoured order?
9378Could you ask better proof than the restoration of your stolen property?
9378Do n''t you think you can trust me for that as well?
9378Do n''t you understand? 9378 Do you hear me?"
9378Do you know him?
9378Do you know, possibly, just where I could find a taxicab?
9378Do you mean to tell me Bannon controls De Morbihan and Popinot?
9378Do you think I ought to?
9378Does it matter what I think?
9378Does it matter when? 9378 Eh-- what''s that you say?"
9378Eh? 9378 Eh?"
9378Eh?
9378Eh?
9378Eh?
9378For what? 9378 Gone?"
9378Greggs?
9378Has there been one?
9378Have I ever met you before?
9378Have they picked up the scent-- at last?
9378Have you, though?
9378He sent you, eh?
9378How can I tell?
9378How can you ask?
9378How can you be?
9378How did you come by them?
9378How so-- too far?
9378How so?
9378How--she enunciated only with visible effort and no longer met his appeal with an open countenance--"how can you do that?"
9378How?
9378I do n''t understand.... You want a fighting chance-- to surrender-- to give in to their demands?
9378I have been guilty of some stupidity, perhaps?
9378I mean it: if honour could hold me back, do you think I would have broken in here tonight to steal for Bannon?
9378I presume I''m to consider myself under arrest?
9378I presume you know where I wish to go, my man?
9378I take it you know a bit more about the Old Man than you did a week ago?
9378I thank monsieur; but what need to consider me? 9378 I was beginning to like you, too... Why persist in reminding me you''re intimate with the brute who had Roddy butchered in his sleep?"
9378I''ll wait,she assured him bravely;"but wo n''t you tell me--?"
9378I''m not armed----"Is that the truth?
9378I? 9378 I?
9378If he does n''t, why should he plot to cast suspicion of murder on you, and why be so anxious to know whether you were really the Lone Wolf? 9378 If you found I had deceived you--?"
9378If you mean to do what you promised--"Do you doubt my sincerity?
9378In here?
9378In your company, Popinot? 9378 Indeed?"
9378Indeed?
9378Is it, then,he enquired civilly, when Lanyard at length looked round,"that you are in the bad books of the good General Popinot, my friend?"
9378Is n''t it awfully-- risky?
9378Is that you, Sidonie?
9378It had not occurred to me----"Then why not test my statement before denying it?
9378It is most unfortunate..."May one enquire what is most unfortunate?
9378It was, then, Ekstrom-- you think?
9378It''s a riddle, then?
9378It''s as bad as that, eh?
9378Joking? 9378 Madame Omber?"
9378Madame will not need me to undress her?
9378Mademoiselle is not nervous?
9378Mademoiselle? 9378 Meaning the Santé, madame?"
9378Meaning your impression is, I made it too hot for me?
9378Meaning--?
9378Monsieur Lanyarr''?
9378Monsieur doubtless feels at ease?
9378Monsieur has something to show me, eh?
9378Monsieur is alone?
9378Monsieur is, no doubt, now satisfied?
9378Monsieur no longer questions their authenticity?
9378Mr. Lanyard--the girl bent toward him across the table with a gesture of eager interest--"have you any idea why he-- why Mr. Bannon hates you so?"
9378Mr. Lanyard,she demanded almost sharply--"what was the full wording of that message?"
9378Near Lewes, perhaps?
9378Need monsieur ask? 9378 Need you ask?
9378No...."Or in love with someone else?
9378No...."Or promised?
9378No? 9378 None the less, if I refuse, you declare war?"
9378Not well...."Nothing you recognize about him, eh?
9378Not-- you feel sure-- merely to keep you under observation?
9378Nothing...."You know Popinot and Wertheimer by sight?
9378Now just what_ do_ you mean by that?
9378Now, monsieur- of- two- minds, what is it you wish to say to me?
9378Oh, how could you?
9378Oh, it''s with you alone, now-- is it? 9378 On the South Downs, somewhere?"
9378Pity I can think?
9378Rather than me--?
9378Roddy?
9378Scotland Yard, eh?
9378Simple, eh?
9378Something more I can do, Miss Bannon?
9378Sure you ca n''t see your way to work with us?
9378Sure you''ve come to the right place?
9378Surely you do n''t expect to be kept out?
9378Tell Sidonie to wait instead of calling for help? 9378 Terms with Bannon, De Morbihan, Popinot and yourself-- eh?"
9378That is your answer?
9378That is your sole reason for asking this of me?
9378That one? 9378 That''s something beyond your knowledge--""You think so?
9378The Lone Wolf? 9378 The Lone Wolf?"
9378Their present status?
9378Then I may sit down with you and drink a glass of your wine?
9378Then they''ll nab him soon?
9378Then what am I to infer? 9378 Then why not go where you''re wanted?"
9378Then why--?
9378Then will my modest diggings do?
9378Then you can go back, if you like?
9378Then you really did wish to see me to- night?
9378Then... will you accompany me when I replace them? 9378 These are genuine?"
9378They''ve caught him, eh?
9378This is where we stop,he said, with a jerk of his head toward the wall;"but it''s not too late--""For what?"
9378Through fear of him--?
9378Try to leave by the back gateway-- the one I showed you before-- avoiding Ekstrom----"But surely you are coming too?
9378Turn about,he reflected,"is said to be fair play.... Well, why not?"
9378Understand me,Ekstrom muttered vindictively:"next time I''ll show you no mercy--""But if there_ is_ no next time?
9378Walk?
9378Was that before or after you''d made up your mind about me-- the latest phase, I mean?
9378Well, monsieur-- well?
9378Well, what do you think?
9378Well,he ventured--"if you''re quite ready, Miss Shannon--?"
9378Well-- what do we do now?
9378Well?
9378Well?
9378Well?
9378Well?
9378Well?
9378What am I to do? 9378 What am I to understand?
9378What are we to understand by that?
9378What are you doing?
9378What are you going to do?
9378What are you looking for?
9378What better place for the proposed conference than here?
9378What caused it, then?
9378What conceivable interest,Lanyard pursued evenly,"do you fancy you''ve got in the said loot?"
9378What could they do?
9378What do you mean by that?
9378What do you mean by that?
9378What do you propose, then?
9378What do you think?
9378What do you want, monsieur?
9378What does that mean, if you please?
9378What is he, I mean?
9378What is it?
9378What is it?
9378What is it?
9378What is it?
9378What is that? 9378 What is this?"
9378What makes you think that?
9378What was written on the paper?
9378What you''ve just said--"A crook-- and all that? 9378 What''s the good of that?"
9378What''s the trouble, eh? 9378 What''s to be done?"
9378What''s your hurry? 9378 What''s your name?
9378What-- I repeat-- what are you doing there?
9378What--?
9378When did you bring these jewels here?
9378Where are we-- do you know?
9378Where are we?
9378Where are you taking me?
9378Where do we go, then?
9378Where do you come in?
9378Where else?
9378Where?
9378Which entrance?
9378Who is he, then?
9378Who is it, then?
9378Why are you dressed that way? 9378 Why ca n''t you tell me?"
9378Why did you do that?
9378Why did you do that?
9378Why do you boast like this-- to me?
9378Why do you do that?
9378Why do you say this to me?
9378Why do you stand glaring at me like that-- eh? 9378 Why not?
9378Why not? 9378 Why not?
9378Why not?
9378Why not?
9378Why talk to me as if I were a child, to be frightened by a bogey- tale like that?
9378Why the past tense?
9378Why,she almost gasped--"what do you think--?"
9378Why-- if your errand be peaceable-- break into my house?
9378Why?
9378Why?
9378Why?
9378Why?
9378Will you come with me, Miss Shannon?
9378With your famous friend, the Chief of the Sûreté, eh?
9378Within the week-- four or five nights since----"And then-- repented, eh?
9378Without consideration?
9378Without you? 9378 Woman?
9378Would I be such a fool as to shoot you down before finding out what you''ve done with those plans?
9378Would you give us away?
9378Yes--?
9378Yes?
9378Yes?
9378You are-- the Lone Wolf-- then?
9378You ca n''t hold him?
9378You came alone?
9378You can see his face now?
9378You did n''t seem altogether downcast,he countered,"Do you wish me to understand you were with him against your will?"
9378You do n''t expect me to-- do you?
9378You do n''t imagine we''re going to let you stop there?
9378You do n''t know him in America, mademoiselle?
9378You do n''t know what?
9378You do n''t miss London?
9378You do n''t really expect me to swallow that? 9378 You feel better now, mademoiselle?"
9378You feel sure of that?
9378You have n''t been thinking of quitting it-- what?
9378You have the negatives from which these prints were made?
9378You knew that?
9378You live here alone, I understand?
9378You mean me to understand, you found you were beginning to-- to care a little for me?
9378You mean that? 9378 You ran away from yourself-- not from me?"
9378You really think so? 9378 You thought all that of me-- that I was capable of spying on you-- yet were generous enough to believe I despised myself for doing it?"
9378You trust them to me?
9378You wo n''t tell us?
9378You''d be sore enough if we took you as a joke, would n''t you?
9378You''re not angry, mon coco?
9378You''re not deceiving me? 9378 You''re sure?"
9378You''ve friends in London, no doubt?
9378You''ve no right to say that--"What else can I think? 9378 You-- forgive me-- you''re not already married?"
9378You? 9378 ... Popinot, why not disembarrass your amiable features? 9378 ... You say you need a year to prove yourself? 9378 Adieu? 9378 After a little pause he commented helpfully:That does complicate matters, does n''t it?"
9378All right, eh?"
9378Am I losing my grip?
9378And as they moved on, Lanyard continued:"Shall I explain why we''re not apt to meet again?"
9378And here, a dozen feet away, a perfectly able- bodied sergent de ville?
9378And how had the American come to dabble the garment in water-- to what end?
9378And if it were so, what of the girl?
9378And if so-- what of it?
9378And if you think that a fair question-- what are you doing here, with me?"
9378And since no one cared-- since_ she_ had betrayed his faith-- what mattered?
9378And the Huysman plans?
9378And what her interest in him?
9378And what is one interruption more or less?
9378And what was Michael Lanyard but a common gambler, who persistently staked life and liberty against the blindly impartial casts of Chance?
9378And why her terror at sight of him?
9378And yet-- why not?
9378And you?"
9378Are they bringing it out?
9378Are you sure, Monsieur le Comte, there''s no mistake-- that these gay masqueraders have n''t lost their way to the stage of the Grand Guignol?"
9378As if he had n''t spoken, she cried again:"Why--_why_ did you do it?
9378Besides, who else could it have been?
9378Blindfold?
9378But I trust you understand me?
9378But I wonder, do you appreciate the magnitude of the task you''ve undertaken?"
9378But how could De Morbihan have come by his news?
9378But how?
9378But if she knew-- suspected-- even dreamed-- that he was what he was?...
9378But if so, what the deuce was_ he_ doing in such company?
9378But it''s the stock question, you know.... Do you care for a cigar?"
9378But no-- why should you?"
9378But sha n''t we resume our stroll?
9378But that''s the effect I get.... What took you to my room, if not his orders?
9378But what can I think?"
9378But what of that?
9378But what of that?"
9378But what''s the use?
9378But whither?
9378But who told you--?"
9378But why not?
9378But why, of all people, me-- whom you hardly know, of whom what little you do know is hardly reassuring?"
9378But why-- Bourke wanted to know-- had Marcel lied to save him, when the truth would have earned him a hundred francs?
9378But would even that pace serve to hold the Valkyr if not to distance it?
9378But you say you received a message?
9378But you wo n''t refuse to join me in a whiskey and soda?"
9378But, again, why?
9378But-- admitting that-- why not be graceful about it?
9378But-- assuming all this-- what evil could such pursuit portend?
9378Can you see him any better?"
9378Can you tell me what you thought to accomplish?"
9378Come, monsieur: what ails you?
9378Could it be that Bannon so resented the aid and encouragement Lanyard had afforded the girl in her abortive attempt to escape?
9378Could such success be reasonably expected to attend him always?
9378Did Bannon entertain some secret, personal animus against Michael Lanyard himself as distinguished from the Lone Wolf?
9378Do you imagine I''d consent to treat with such canaille under any circumstances?"
9378Do you imagine for one instant that I fear any one-- or all-- of that gang?"
9378Do you think I care for them?
9378Does he suggest an Englishman, any way?"
9378Doing myself a service?
9378Germain?"
9378Goggling resentfully, Monsieur Ducroy spluttered:"Eh-- what impudence is this?"
9378Had he in his haste and desperation simply played into her hands, when he burdened himself with the care of her?
9378Had n''t you better take me where we can have a quiet little talk?"
9378Had she, too, so sorely needed sleep that the brief November day had dawned and waned without her knowledge?
9378Had the dye run?
9378Have n''t I said as much?"
9378Have you reformed since I caught you here----?"
9378He began at once to make talk in effort to dissipate that constraint which stood between them like an unseen alien presence:"You must be very hungry?"
9378He even shivered a trifle, as if under premonition of misfortune, and asked himself heavily: Why not?
9378He had gone but a block when the window at his back was lowered and his fare observed pleasantly:"That you, Lanyard?"
9378He made his eyes blank:"Written on the paper--?"
9378He shook his head again, but now impatiently, with a scowl and a grumble:"What''s the matter with me anyway?
9378He stammered unhappily:"I beg your pardon--""Why did you lock me in?"
9378He was startled:"I?
9378How can I ever explain--?"
9378How could you reach Port Aviation in time?"
9378How do I know?
9378How much did he know?
9378I had just left him drugged, insensible in my place, when I met you in the corridor.... You did n''t know?"
9378I must continue?
9378I only need a chance--""Then wo n''t you take me with you?"
9378I presume one is to understand you wait upon me as representing the fine flower of the European underworld?"
9378I understand you have sent in your resignation?
9378I''d have run out for something more substantial, only--""Only--?"
9378I''ll ask you an original question: Why were you acting just now?"
9378I''ve no doubt you''re prepared to allow me to retain one- half the proceeds of my operations, should I elect to ally myself with you?"
9378If I had the spirit of a mouse, I''d have defied him; it needed only courage enough to say one word to the police--""But who is he, then?"
9378If any lingering doubt should trouble Roddy''s mind he need only ask,"Such- and- such an one took what cab and for what destination?"
9378If anything happens to me tonight, if I am arrested or assassinated----""Is that likely?"
9378If she continued to sleep, why disturb her?
9378If she were not worthy, of what worth the fight?...
9378If that is so, if your repugnance for criminal associations made you run away from me-- why did you go back to Bannon?"
9378If you dared trust to your intuition-- what then?"
9378If you''re afraid to lay an information against me-- and it would n''t be wise, I admit-- you''ll merely cause me to be assassinated, eh?"
9378In what conceivable manner could the Pack reckon to further its ends by commissioning the monoplane to overtake or distance the Parrott?
9378Is France so ill- served by her spies that you do not already know of the misfortune one Captain Ekstrom recently suffered in London?"
9378Is it a disguise?"
9378Is it that already you hear the cell door clang in your ears?"
9378Is it your desire that I catch my death of cold?"
9378Is one eager to go shooting at this time of night, for the sheer fun of explaining to sergents de ville that one has been attacked by Apaches?
9378Is that what Vauquelin means?
9378Is there an explanation, possibly?"
9378It does n''t matter what I think-- does it?"
9378It was an offer to let you off if you''d give me up to Bannon-- wasn''t it?"
9378It''s true, is n''t it?"
9378Lanyard smothered an impulse to demand roughly"Well, what now?"
9378Lanyard''s reply just escaped a suspicion of curtness: as who should say, what did you expect?
9378Lanyard?"
9378Lanyard?"
9378Meanwhile, you agree that these jewels must be returned?"
9378Must I recall to you the foundations of my prosperity?
9378Not with that insane fiction, the International Underworld Unlimited?"
9378Oh, what''s the matter with me?
9378One of the sergents advanced with an uncertain salute and a superfluous question:"Madame Omber----?"
9378Or au revoir?
9378Or is it possible I''m beginning to develop a rudimentary conscience, at this late day?
9378Or was it, perhaps, that Bannon held Lanyard responsible for the arrest and death of Greggs?
9378Or was there some less superficially tangible motive to be sought?
9378Or was this but proof of what he had anticipated in the beginning-- a bit of sleuthing on the part of Roddy?
9378Recently, in London, you were robbed----"The woman started and coloured with excitement:"You know something of my jewels?"
9378Should he count De Morbihan''s yarn a warning?
9378So that was how... Why had n''t he thought of it before?
9378So, what was one to think?
9378So-- why the acting?"
9378Suppose... suppose you were to find out... you''d been mistaken in me?"
9378Tense with indignation, quick with disdain, she demanded, without any preface whatever:"Why did you lock me in?"
9378That is clear, I trust?"
9378That she was mental enough to appreciate how ruinous to her design would be any such advances?
9378That you wish me to accompany you to the-- ah-- den of the Pack?"
9378That''s about it, is n''t it?"
9378That''s the usual thing, is n''t it?"
9378The adventurer hesitated an instant; then, without looking round, responded:"Wertheimer, eh?"
9378Was it possible he had changed so absolutely in the course of that short- lived spasm of reform?
9378Was it, then, possible that he had misjudged her?
9378Was this really a demonstration of purpose to crush out competition--"and hang the expense"?
9378Was this simply one more move to keep the pair under espionage?
9378Was this singularly casual encounter, then, but a cloak for further surveillance?
9378We may as well cut the sparring and go, down to business-- don''t you think?
9378Well?"
9378What address, please?"
9378What can I do for you?"
9378What can have happened to make you--?"
9378What did he mean?
9378What errand, reasonable duty or design could have roused her out into the night and the storm at that weird hour?
9378What had roused the girl out of bed and dressed her for the street at that unholy hour?
9378What had she been after in his room?--this American girl making a first visit to Paris in company with her venerable ruin of a parent?
9378What is it you want, then?"
9378What other explanation can I infer?
9378What other explanation is needed?
9378What sort of business?
9378What then?
9378What woman?"
9378What''s its number-- eh?"
9378What''s that?"
9378Where do you wish to go?"
9378Where is mademoiselle?"
9378Where is the woman?"
9378Where shall I take you?"
9378Where, then, was the object of this so sedulously dissembled interest?
9378Who is that?"
9378Who was he, Michael Lanyard, that held himself above such vermin, yet lived in such a way as practically to invite their advances?
9378Who was she, anyway?
9378Who, for that matter, was Bannon?
9378Why are you running away from him if not because you''ve found out his part in that conspiracy?"
9378Why could n''t she wait for daylight at least?
9378Why did I run away from you?"
9378Why did you do that?"
9378Why do anything to disturb the perennial peace of so discreet and confidential an establishment?
9378Why do you turn down the flag?
9378Why does he train with De Morbihan, if he''s not blood- kin to that breed?
9378Why had this feud been forced upon him, who asked nothing better than to be let alone?
9378Why make it so hard for me?
9378Why make me say outright what pains me so?"
9378Why must he be saddled with this necessity of striking in self- defence?
9378Why not come with me some time?"
9378Why not satisfy me here?"
9378Why not...?
9378Why should I be, monsieur?"
9378Why sit there sulking, like a spoiled child?
9378Will you shake hands-- with a copper''s nark?"
9378Would you mind explaining why you think I''ll be merciful?"
9378XX WAR But why?--he asked himself as he swung his cab aimlessly away-- why that blind rage with which he had welcomed Wertheimer''s overtures?
9378Yet-- what_ had_ she wanted in his room?
9378You are, then, that Lone Wolf?"
9378You do n''t imagine I''d ever hear of it again, when his Apaches had finished with you?"
9378You do n''t imagine I''m here of my own will?--that I went back to Bannon for any reason but to try to save you from him?
9378You have heard of Madame Omber, eh?"
9378You see yonder the entrance to the Metro-- don''t you?
9378You tried to hide it from me, but I saw.... What was it?"
9378You understand, it is a matter in which I am wholly without discretion, I trust?"
9378You understand?"
9378You will join us, surely?"
9378You will tell me, dear?"
9378Your sweetheart, eh?"
9378_""_ Eh?
9378he repeated,"walk where?"
9378she caught him up--"against Mr. Bannon-- against my father, that is-- that makes you so ready to suspect both him and me?"
9378she cried, trembling--"why_--why_ did you do it?"
9378she cried--"_how_ can I make you understand?...
9378she stammered, pale with emotion--"why, monsieur,_ why_?"
9378who are you and what do you want?"
42813''Ave you got a horder from the hagents?
42813A Jewess, was n''t it?
42813A cette heure- ci, n''est- ce pas?
42813A friend? 42813 A lady?
42813Ah,said Gimblet,"you stopped at a post office, did you?
42813Allowed? 42813 An idea?
42813And Miss Turner? 42813 And Miss Turner?"
42813And do you think the girl, her daughter, has any idea as to the woman''s whereabouts?
42813And how long have you been caretaking here, do you say?
42813And now may I see Miss Turner''s room?
42813And she is no doubt a great comfort to you?
42813And the house? 42813 And the pearls-- was she to burn them too?"
42813And what are they?
42813And what happened then?
42813And where did you see them?
42813And who is she?
42813And will you describe to me what clothes Mrs. Vanderstein wore,he asked,"and also those of Miss Turner?"
42813And you were not arrested, not suspected? 42813 And you were told the car would not be required again after the opera?"
42813And you will never bet again?
42813Any discoveries?
42813Anything else you can remember about him?
42813Are n''t I nice to you, Bertie? 42813 Are they hurt?
42813Are you going to act being this gentleman you''re talking about?
42813Are you going to risk your entire fortune?
42813Are you there?
42813Barbara, Barbara,he cried,"will you always go hand in hand with me now?"
42813Barbara, has no one interesting appeared?
42813But if, as you seem to suspect, the lady has gone off deliberately, will she not be annoyed at our seeking her out? 42813 But it does n''t matter now, does it?"
42813But what could she mean?
42813But what would happen to the people who make it?
42813But why should he remove it? 42813 By all means,"said Gimblet ungraciously,"why should n''t the whole street come?
42813By the way,said Gimblet,"who is Bert?"
42813Can I see the second footman now? 42813 Can you describe what Mr. West looked like?"
42813Can you not leave the message with me?
42813Can you remember Mrs. Vanderstein''s exact words when she gave you the order not to return?
42813Did n''t I? 42813 Did she always have the same one?"
42813Did she come every day, and has she been here since Mrs. Vanderstein left home?
42813Did she leave no word as to where she was going?
42813Did she leave you no money?
42813Did the idea of an accident occur to you?
42813Did you back him?
42813Did you come to persuade me to your views on compulsory service?
42813Did you go by it on Monday?
42813Did you hear who had taken it?
42813Did you lose much last week?
42813Did you notice anything else?
42813Did you notice the carriage which was driving away?
42813Did you see if he wore gloves?
42813Did you see lights in the house-- in the windows, I mean?
42813Did you want anything?
42813Die? 42813 Disappeared?"
42813Do n''t you feel,said Gimblet,"that there is something terrible, something fearful, in those shining brown pieces of wood?
42813Do n''t you know?
42813Do n''t you think it would be a good plan to take one of the Grosvenor Street servants with us to identify the young lady? 42813 Do n''t you think you can find them from what I''ve told you?"
42813Do you really think a man has more chance with a girl if he is foolish and rich?
42813Do you remember,he asked,"whether that sofa had a cover like the other before Mr. Mill went away?"
42813Do you say she wore her necklace under her blouse?
42813Do you see it?
42813Do you see that?
42813Do you still think of running over to Dieppe?
42813Do you think she would help me?
42813Does n''t it do your heart good to see how he likes it?
42813Does she live alone in Grosvenor Street?
42813For what will you fetch the police? 42813 Had Mrs. Vanderstein a friend of your nationality?"
42813Has Miss Turner any money of her own?
42813Has Mrs. Vanderstein the full control of her fortune?
42813Has anyone bought anything to- day?
42813Have any inquiries been made?
42813Have some barley sugar?
42813Have you answered those?
42813Have you any theory?
42813Have you anything to do with the police?
42813Have you been racing?
42813Have you found anything?
42813Have you got a friend you can trust who would stretch a point to help you?
42813Have you got a lemon?
42813Have you got that inventory?
42813Have you heard nothing?
42813Have you inquired at any of the hospitals?
42813Have you lost much?
42813Have you noticed anything unusual of late,he asked,"in the habits or demeanour of anyone in the house?"
42813Have you seen this lady''s jewels, mother?
42813Have you seen this?
42813He might put us on a poster, Pompom, might n''t he? 42813 How could it?
42813How do I know, you ask me? 42813 How do you know that?"
42813How do you know this is the right one?
42813How is she to account for the pearls, and for the dresses and opera cloaks?
42813How is that, mother?
42813How is that?
42813How long has Wilcox been in Mrs. Vanderstein''s service?
42813How much do you want me to put on him?
42813How should you have seen me? 42813 How''s that?"
42813I beg your pardon?
42813I called to see Madame Querterot-- is it possible that I am speaking to her?
42813I do n''t know the exact conditions of the will; but, supposing she dies before Mrs. Vanderstein, what happens?
42813I have thought myself, that, perhaps, the servants----"Mrs. Vanderstein''s servants? 42813 I may keep it for the present, I suppose?"
42813I saw you with her in the Park last Sunday, did I not?
42813I say,said he,"do you think I did it, too?"
42813I suppose there''s nothing to do but wait?
42813I suppose you know Miss Turner well? 42813 I suppose,"he said after a moment, with a shamefaced look,"that there ca n''t be anything in Chark''s idea, can there?"
42813I told you she had a bag in her hand? 42813 I told you?"
42813I wonder what she can have been doing there?
42813I''m sorry to have kept you waiting,the detective began;"wo n''t you sit down now?"
42813If anything should turn up,she faltered,"to make this idea impossible, you will try telling Mrs. Vanderstein the truth, wo n''t you?
42813If you would like me to come myself?
42813Indeed,said Gimblet,"was Mrs. Vanderstein in the habit of going abroad at a moment''s notice?"
42813Infernal lies,cried Sidney;"what the devil does anyone mean by suggesting such things?
42813Is it a pair of foreign looking gentlemen?
42813Is it as bad as that?
42813Is it right then, that she should be permitted to have so much when others starve? 42813 Is n''t he handsome?"
42813Is that Scotland Yard?
42813Is that then her name? 42813 Is that you, Blake?"
42813Is there no mention of the chair covers?
42813Is there no one else to whom you could have appealed for advice? 42813 Is there not?"
42813It is your socialistic teaching, is it not, to take from the rich? 42813 It looks as if she had forgiven you, does n''t it?"
42813It smells good in here, is it not?
42813It was you, I think,the detective said to him,"who accompanied the motor last night when it left here with the two ladies?"
42813It''s a funny thing,she went on after a moment''s silence;"it seems somehow as if it was meant to be, does n''t it?
42813Joolie,he began hurriedly,"why do you never let me see you alone?
42813Julie,she said;"why should Julie be arrested?"
42813Justine?
42813Look at this old black coat and skirt; do you see how threadbare and old- fashioned it is? 42813 Look here,"he said to Gimblet,"why do n''t you go over that house?
42813Look, what is that?
42813Madame Querterot, will you help me? 42813 May I ask who the lady is-- a relation of yours?"
42813Mr. Gimblet, that you? 42813 Mr. Gimblet,"he cried,"where are you off to?
42813Mr. Sidney,said the detective slowly,"where do you suppose Miss Turner is?"
42813Mrs. Vanderstein absolutely refused to help you in any way?
42813No? 42813 No?
42813O- ho,he said to himself,"so that''s the trouble, is it?"
42813Oh, do go away, Sir Gregory,said Gimblet;"ca n''t you see I''m busy?
42813One moment,Jennins interrupted;"do you think you could recognise the horse, Miss Turner, if you should see him again?"
42813One of the maidservants?
42813Perfectly,said Gimblet patiently,"would you know him again?"
42813Really, how do you know that?
42813Really?
42813Rich, then?
42813Scholefield Avenue,she repeated,"where is that?"
42813She is a masseuse, then?
42813She must have dressed in a hurry, and done it by mistake; do n''t you think so?
42813Something must be done,she repeated dully;"ca n''t you borrow from some one?"
42813Surely you can see the direction in which the circumstances point?
42813That means you do n''t like her yourself?
42813That''s a very different thing from thinking her capable... surely it''s impossible.... What makes you suspect her?
42813That''s the only thing you can remember?
42813The house in which you were imprisoned is there,said Gimblet;"have you forgotten?
42813The other side of Regent''s Park, is n''t it?
42813The question is rather, what would she do without you? 42813 The question is, what''s the next thing to be done?"
42813The vitriol? 42813 Then how in the world was it that no one knew it?
42813Then what did she wake you up to say, early on Tuesday morning?
42813Then who can have harmed them?
42813Then who is to sign the lease?
42813There are people like that,Gimblet agreed diplomatically;"but tell me, how did Mrs. Vanderstein know this Madame Querterot?"
42813There has been no alteration in your prospects since Monday then,pursued the detective;"you have had no better news to- day?
42813They would all lose their means of earning a livelihood, is it not so? 42813 Was she not seen to leave the opera house?"
42813Was there any French lady whom she knew well, and whose name, perhaps, began with a Q?
42813Was there anything that struck you as the least unusual?
42813Was there more than one?
42813We are safe enough,Madame Querterot asserted positively;"how is it you say?
42813Well?
42813Were you able to observe the expression on the ladies''faces?
42813What about?
42813What aged man is he?
42813What can have happened?
42813What can keep him indoors on so fine a day?
42813What did Joe mean by his last remark?
42813What did you find?
42813What do you know of the missing ladies?
42813What do you mean?
42813What do you say?
42813What do you think about it?
42813What do you think of it? 42813 What does he look like?"
42813What happened to the other?
42813What has happened?
42813What in the world are you doing here?
42813What in the world is there to see?
42813What is Mrs. Vanderstein like to look at?
42813What is it, Madame Justine?
42813What is it? 42813 What is it?"
42813What is it?
42813What made him think of such a thing, d''ye think?
42813What makes you dislike this woman so much? 42813 What should we want compulsory service for?
42813What the deuce are you talking about?
42813What time do you say this was?
42813What was it? 42813 What was it?"
42813What was she like?
42813What was the man like?
42813What were they like?
42813What''s the matter with her?
42813What, Miss Turner?
42813What, do n''t you remember that it had a cover?
42813What, steal them?
42813What,said Brampton,"you have bad news for him?"
42813What? 42813 What?"
42813What_ bêtise_ is this?
42813When did Your Highness see me?
42813When do you say you saw her last?
42813Where are they?
42813Where have you been?
42813Where is she?
42813Where''s this newspaper editor?
42813Who does not share her admiration?
42813Who else are you thinking of, when you say things look black against others than Sidney?
42813Who else could good luck come to me from if not from you? 42813 Who was it who suggested this questionable proceeding in the first place?"
42813Who''s been saying things about me?
42813Who''s got the key?
42813Whom have we here?
42813Why do n''t you get my aunt to bring you down to Epsom to- morrow?
42813Why do you care?
42813Why not? 42813 Why would they not let me go to Mrs. Vanderstein if she was ill?
42813Why, what do you mean; who would benefit?
42813Why, what''s the matter?
42813Why,asked Jennins,"were those not the colours she wore?"
42813Will you go to- day?
42813Will you please stay where you are a little longer?
42813Wo n''t you tell me?
42813Yes, is that Mr. Gimblet? 42813 You ca n''t mean,"he said slowly,"that you imagine she had any knowledge of the attack on my aunt?"
42813You ca n''t think of anything else, however trivial?
42813You did n''t happen to notice any particular two?
42813You do n''t know the name of the street? 42813 You do think so, I suppose?"
42813You have not forgotten that it is to- night we go with him to the theatre? 42813 You heard that the lady had disappeared?"
42813You know Mr. Vanderstein left me £ 30,000, which I was to have if poor Mrs. Vanderstein died? 42813 You live in this street?"
42813You think not?
42813You were there? 42813 You''re a pretty rash young lady, are n''t you?"
42813You, Sir Gregory, know the lady''s writing, I suppose?
42813''Can you get over these railings?''
42813''How do I look?''
42813''I think it is hardly possible,''I replied;''but why should I get over?''
42813''Is it the massage that has had an effect after all?''
42813''Look, Alice,''said he,''you see the dark lady in that motor?
42813''Oh, sir,''she cried,''can you tell me if there''s any truth in what I''ve seen in the papers, about the lady that lives here having disappeared?
42813''What do you mean by driving like that?''
42813''What has happened to my friend?''
42813''What''s the matter?''
42813''Where are you taking me?''
42813''Why should we go this way?''
42813After a moment she resumed in serious tones:"It''s a good thing, do n''t you think, to have a fad of some kind?
42813After all-- the thought would not be kept away any longer-- what would Julie think of all this?
42813Ah, Sidney, how are you?
42813Am I to understand then that she is married?
42813And I suppose they''ll say I''ve murdered her all the more now?"
42813And have not the Jews for centuries ground the bones of the poor?
42813And if Miss Turner were not flying from justice, where was she?
42813And in the next box?
42813And it is so nice of you to like me so much, but why ca n''t we go on just being friends?"
42813And now that the servant has gone, may I ask what is the sad event which has given me the pleasure of seeing you?"
42813And the one beyond that?
42813And the polishers and setters?
42813And what does she do with her money?
42813And what has Miss Turner to say on the subject?"
42813And when I got there, what did I hear?
42813And which post office did you stop at?"
42813And who did I see, madame?
42813And whoever heard of a woman''s taking a friend on a wedding trip?
42813And why was it tied to a spade?
42813And would n''t I say I was glad?
42813And you still refuse to dig a grave?
42813And, above all, what was the meaning of the man''s behaviour to me?
42813And, if he came and did not succeed in enlisting Mrs. Vanderstein''s sympathies, what then?
42813Are there imbeciles in the world?
42813Are you coming, Sir Gregory?"
42813At the same time where a lady is concerned-- you follow me?
42813Aunt Ruth, why do n''t you come racing with me sometimes?
42813Barbara, do you mind going away till I call you?
42813But can you suggest one with which I could go to her and ask for £ 10,000?
42813But how am I to meet her?
42813But if it came to the point what would you do, not to show gratitude, but to win the hand of Julie?
42813But if not... if not?
42813But in what?
42813But of course you''re the sort of fellow who can read the secret of dark mysteries in anything, from the Tower Bridge to a baked potato, are n''t you?
42813But was it possible that she would risk not only his safety but her own, in order to gratify her spite against her daughter?
42813But will she take him?
42813But will you not tell us your adventures from the beginning?
42813But wo n''t you sit down?
42813But wo n''t you tell me all about it?
42813But you are not absolutely alone in the world, are you?
42813But, I say, do n''t you want to know a little more of the beauteous stranger who is the bearer of the good tidings?
42813By and by she begins talking about one thing and another, and presently she says:''Have you read about these ladies that have disappeared?''
42813Can it be-- Mr. Gimblet, I give you my word I feel ashamed of mentioning such a suspicion even to you-- but can it be that she has fled with another?"
42813Can she be the Madame Q. of the note?
42813Can you give me the assistance I want, or shall I go and find the policeman on this beat?"
42813Can you not guess?
42813Can you tell me how long it is since anyone has been to look at it?"
42813Consumptive?"
42813Could n''t he tell her anyone?
42813Could she and Mrs. Vanderstein have combined to kill their hostess, when they visited the house hired by Mr. West of tropical origin?
42813Could she ever be brought to care for a robber?
42813Could she indeed be sleeping?
42813Could you find your way to it again?"
42813Could you see anything of the inside of the house?"
42813Did Joe see anyone he knew?
42813Did it not occur to you to do so?"
42813Did n''t I say so?
42813Did she want to lose them all by her folly and recklessness?
42813Did you communicate with any of them this morning?"
42813Did you hear anything in Grosvenor Street?"
42813Did you not hear Julie say this evening that she adored jewels?"
42813Did you notice nothing about it to distinguish it from its neighbours?"
42813Did you tell your friend ultimately that, on second thoughts, you did n''t like the idea and had decided to give it up?"
42813Do I make myself perfectly clear?"
42813Do n''t I tell you she telephoned for me last night?
42813Do n''t know if I make myself clear?"
42813Do n''t they look sweet up there?
42813Do n''t you think I am right?"
42813Do n''t you think it would be best if you went home and waited till I came to you?"
42813Do n''t you think you could marry me some day?
42813Do they imagine I''ve spirited away not only Aunt Ruth but Miss Turner too, and am holding them for ransom, or what?
42813Do those two facts suggest nothing to you?
42813Do you know anything against her, by any chance?"
42813Do you know him, sir, or do you not?"
42813Do you know them at all?"
42813Do you know which number it was, and whether the house has been let?"
42813Do you mean to say you ca n''t see who it is?"
42813Do you suppose, then, that I shall allow you to have one?"
42813Do you think the police would believe that I have done it?
42813Do you think"--Sir Gregory''s voice seemed to fail him but he cleared his throat and continued with a gulp--"he''s killed her?"
42813Do you understand?
42813Do you understand?"
42813Do you understand?"
42813Does he live in London?"
42813Expect you found that when you started looking for thieves?
42813For why in the world should she share with Mrs. Vanderstein the attentions of any hypothetical criminal?
42813Gimblet?"
42813Had Miss Finner been mistaken, after all, and was it not they whom she had seen before the door?
42813Had he forgotten anything?
42813Had he got the thing in his hands when he was trying to put his arms round Miss Turner''s neck?
42813Had she suddenly gone off her head?
42813Had she valuable jewels?"
42813Had you any suspicion before that she was thinking of marrying again?"
42813Has n''t she burnt them?
42813Has she told you how she managed to get away?"
42813Have they killed her too?"
42813Have you a little courage, my boy?
42813Have you any idea as to the man with whom you think your mother may have gone off?
42813Have you any idea who are the fiends who did this?"
42813Have you any news for me?
42813Have you any reason to think she did not go alone?
42813Have you been talking to Blake about her?"
42813Have you not a daughter?"
42813He looks dreadfully ill, poor chap; what''s wrong with him?
42813His eyes too, perhaps-- but why pick to pieces a young man who really was, taken altogether, a very fine specimen of his kind?
42813Houses all standing in their own gardens some little way apart from each other?"
42813How can you hint at it?
42813How could she allow the woman''s familiarity?
42813How did you discover the murder, and where?"
42813How was I to know who it came from?
42813How was it possible that she had not thought of it before?
42813How was it you found yourselves in Scholefield Avenue?"
42813How was one to imagine that this was the young lady who was being inquired for?
42813How?
42813I ca n''t say fairer, can I?''
42813I called out once:''Is there anyone there?''
42813I daresay you''ve seen an evening paper?"
42813I daresay, now, yours keeps your nose to the grindstone, at one season as much as another?"
42813I do n''t suppose anyone''s told you that she had a craze for Royalty in any shape?
42813I have not spoken of becoming a nun since father died, have I?"
42813I said;''what do you mean?
42813I suppose he can stand a walk down to Scholefield Avenue?
42813I suppose you have n''t got them yet?"
42813I suppose you have not discovered anything of importance so far?"
42813I suppose your commission from Sir Gregory Aberhyn Jones dies a natural death now?"
42813I suppose, Sir Gregory, that I can be of no further use to you?"
42813I telegraphed early yesterday to Mrs. Vanderstein saying,''Were you at 13 Scholefield Avenue on Monday night, and who else was present?
42813I then said;''has she escaped too?''
42813I was so infuriated at his daring to touch me that I could scarcely speak, but I managed to stammer again:''Is she ill?
42813I wonder if you know what it is?"
42813I wonder where she can have got to?
42813I''ve got me cab down at the door, sir; why do n''t you jump in and let me take you along to see for yourself?"
42813If Mrs. Vanderstein had not played the piteous part of the victim on that fatal Monday night, who had?
42813If you ca n''t go to Mrs. Vanderstein with the truth, ca n''t you go to her with"--she hesitated--"something else?"
42813In going from Hilliard Street to Carolina Road, would you pass through a row of single detached houses on the way?
42813In spite of himself, Amélie''s words echoed in his ears:"Is she not a hairdresser?"
42813In that case what makes you think she did n''t go there?"
42813Is Mrs. Vanderstein ill?''
42813Is it possible that you permit that I speak with you alone?"
42813Is it right that she should flaunt her jewels in the face of the hungry poor?"
42813Is it the one with the flower pendants or the stone drops?"
42813Is n''t she a sweet little affectionate thing?"
42813Is she ill?''
42813Is she not a hairdresser?"
42813Is she not handsome?
42813Is there any other man?"
42813It was that of Mrs. Vanderstein, the poor lady who was murdered at Boulogne yesterday, as perhaps you have seen in the papers?"
42813It would be a pity, would n''t it, for people to say that Julie''s mother was hanged?"
42813It''s a queer thing to happen, is n''t it?
42813It''s not much use saying that now, is it?
42813It''s rather funny if you think of how my uncle made his money, is n''t it?
42813It''s so hard to get noticed, is n''t it?
42813Jennins, are you there?"
42813Julie wo n''t ever forgive me, let alone have anything to do with me, so what have I got to live for?
42813Just lately?"
42813Just ordinary loafers, were they?"
42813Last night?"
42813Let me see, you said she is a tall, dark woman, did you not?"
42813May I offer you some strawberries?
42813No?
42813No?
42813Not much to take, for the sake of gaining a fortune and a charming wife, you must admit?
42813Now about these jewels, can you tell me what your mistress wore last night?
42813Now, before we go any further,"he went on quickly,"what do you wish me to do in the matter?"
42813Now, how are you going to set about it?"
42813Now, how was she going to get a large sum by Wednesday?"
42813On the other hand, who does use that implement in a town like this?
42813One ca n''t help being on his side, can one?
42813Or perhaps your friend Chark would rather think that I was given to poisoning my relations?
42813Perhaps she will be in by luncheon- time?
42813Perhaps to- morrow night you will have more courage?"
42813Perhaps you would like him to come in?"
42813Shall we go back to my flat and see if anything has been heard at the hospitals?"
42813Shall we repeat the comedy which we have just performed?
42813Shall you see him soon?"
42813Should they not be obliged to restore some of that money which they never earned?"
42813Sir Gregory asked him anxiously as they went down, followed at a distance by the clerk,"what did you find by the other sofa?"
42813Still, why has the girl disappeared?
42813Suppose he should in reality have returned to Europe, that he is even now in England, in London, his presence unknown to anyone but his daughter?
42813Suppose that there was no truth in that rumour?
42813Supposing there''s anything in Chark''s suspicions, do n''t you see that the more complete Sidney thinks our ignorance and mystification, the better?
42813Surely it''s not true?''
42813Targon?''
42813Tell me the truth, Mr. Gimblet: do you believe she is dead?"
42813That proves she wishes for my help in some matter of importance to her, and how can I assist her without knowing where she is?"
42813That you brought this woman here in some one else''s carriage, which you stole for the purpose; and that I killed her, I suppose?
42813The chauffeur and footman, you think, may have disposed of them by some means when they were supposed to be driving to the opera?
42813The question is, what do you think he''s done with her?
42813The temptation was too strong, however, and she continued, dropping her voice to a murmur:"You are going to Epsom to- morrow yourself?"
42813Then, may I inquire your reason for thinking that this document bore her inscription?"
42813There is no more news from Burford, I suppose?"
42813There''s something uncommon fishy about her vanishing this way, do n''t you think?
42813They had used it-- as you thought?"
42813To drive?
42813Vanderstein says she wo n''t have the car again this evening,''she said, and,''do you understand, Wilcox?''
42813Vanderstein?"
42813Vanderstein?"
42813Vanderstein?"
42813Was I being taken from one place of incarceration to another?
42813Was he becoming unduly credulous in his old age?
42813Was he mad?
42813Was it the murdered woman who had been shut up in that room?
42813Was she ever beautiful?
42813Was that quite in the usual course?
42813Was there some kind of understanding between you, and what did it amount to?"
42813We are driven back on the supposition that she did so of her own free will; and, if that was the case, what was her purpose?
42813Well, who did he know?
42813Well, who is Madame Q.?
42813West?"
42813What are the odds?"
42813What can I do with it?
42813What can they have done with themselves?
42813What could he be going to do with a rope?
42813What could he want with a loose chintz sofa cover?"
42813What did they mean by shutting me in this room?
42813What do you remember about that sofa?"
42813What do you say to that?
42813What do you say?
42813What do you say?
42813What do you say?"
42813What do you suppose I care for my ideas, as you call them?
42813What does a sum like that matter?
42813What for?
42813What had he been thinking of to bring that girl to the house?
42813What had she meant by saying good luck was coming his way?
42813What have I been about?
42813What horse is it?"
42813What is he like?"
42813What is she like?"
42813What is your nerve like, Mr. Brampton?
42813What makes you think so?
42813What possessed her not to stay quietly in her room?
42813What price the police?"
42813What then, Bert?
42813What was happening upstairs?
42813What was it he smelt?
42813What was it, that sort of low, muffled panting?
42813What was she doing, kneeling by the sofa?
42813What was she wearing?
42813What was the matter with her?
42813What will happen then?
42813What will you tell them, eh?
42813What would Julie say?
42813What would she do without him if he disappeared as he threatened?
42813What would she do without the only man friend of anything like her own age whom she knew in London and whose tastes so much resembled her own?
42813What would she do without the only person in the world she cared to see?
42813What would the pearl fisher do, or those who dig precious stones out of the earth?
42813What, in heaven''s name, had Mrs. Vanderstein and Miss Turner been doing in that house on Monday night?
42813What, indeed, as he said, had he to live for?
42813When did the lady vanish?
42813When they left the ward Gimblet asked:"How was it Miss Turner was not recognised till to- day?"
42813Where do you think she can possibly be?
42813Where?"
42813Wherein do we differ?
42813While, as soon as he knows us to be on the track, we lose any advantage we may have?"
42813Who are the Mills?
42813Who by?
42813Who can account for a woman''s whims?
42813Who can have said anything of me in an omnibus?"
42813Who is it from?"
42813Who knows how long they will continue?
42813Who more fitted to be the first to contribute some of their ill- gotten gains in return?
42813Who was that?
42813Who would ever suspect evil in so calm and bright an oasis among the mazes of dusty, traffic- worn streets which surrounded it on every hand?
42813Whose fingers were they, he wondered, which had left so many imprints?
42813Why did she display no anxiety on Miss Turner''s account?
42813Why does one suffer them?
42813Why had Madame Querterot looked as she did when she saw me on the doorstep?
42813Why not say that you have been hiding from me in fear of your own life, all these days?
42813Why should Mrs. Vanderstein have secrets with this horrid little Frenchwoman and leave her out in the cold?
42813Why should he?
42813Why should there be need to escape?
42813Why was the man afraid?
42813Why, when she got to Boulogne, did she not communicate with her friends until yesterday?
42813Will she not be angry with you for trying to discover her movements if she wishes them unknown?"
42813Will you never be any nicer to me?"
42813Will you not read it aloud?
42813Will you not take a glass of lemonade before supper?"
42813Will you put my name in the paper now?
42813With such a man to instigate her to crime, who can say what the girl might not venture?
42813Would Bert help her there?
42813Would Monsieur go up?
42813Would he come?
42813Would he come?
42813Would it be too much trouble?"
42813Yet how could she reassure him without betraying herself and the great idea?
42813You agree with me there?
42813You are engaged to marry her?"
42813You ask me why?
42813You did quarrel with her, did n''t you?
42813You do n''t suppose I am ashamed of it?
42813You have n''t caught them, have you?"
42813You know him, do n''t you?"
42813You remember my talking to you at supper- time about a lady, a very wealthy lady, one of my clientele?"
42813You wish to marry her, is it not so?"
42813Your difficulties have not so far been removed?"
42813_ Aïe, aïe!_ what to do?"
42813and, as Gimblet only shook his head:"How can such a thing be possible here in civilised London?
42813have n''t you seen the paper?
42813he asked,"what is that on the floor?"
42813she asked,"and are n''t his manners lovely?
42813the car was not to go back after the performance?"
42813the poor one, what have they done to her?"
9779''Find it?
9779''Oo,interrogated old Bob, holding the boat steady by grasping the stage,"was th''party wot engyged yer larst night, Bill?"
9779''Ow goes it now? 9779 ''Ow goes it now?"]
9779''Ow was I to know''e did n''t''ave it in for you? 9779 ''S my daughter here?"
9779''Treat you all right?
9779--but has n''t this gone far enough?
9779A-- what?
9779Ah, you thought you would forget me?
9779Ah?
9779Am I not at liberty to have a lady dine with me in a public restaurant?
9779Am I so utterly disreputable that you find it necessary to frown on me so darkly?
9779Am I to be denied my adventure? 9779 An artist?"
9779And after that-- I paid no attention at the time-- it seems to me I did hear a cab in the street--"Ow?
9779And go a bit easy with that bottle for five minutes, ca n''t you?
9779And if I refuse?
9779And if we miss that?
9779And now, what do you intend to do?
9779And what do you purpose doing now?
9779And what,she demanded with a gesture of exasperation,"what would you advise?"
9779And will you do as I say?
9779And you are an old friend of my father''s?
9779And you think I have none?
9779And you, Philip?
9779And--?
9779Any more ordnance?
9779Anything I can do?
9779Are we near?
9779Are we--? 9779 Are you all right, Miss Calendar?"
9779Are you engaged?
9779As if mentally blending colors all the time?
9779As to what?
9779Besides, they must catch us first, must n''t they?
9779Beyond that? 9779 Boat- train?"
9779Brentwick, eh? 9779 But I am expecting him any moment; he was to have been here half an hour since.... Wo n''t you wait?"
9779But have I a right to leave Vanderlip to fight it out alone? 9779 But how--?"
9779But how?
9779But if he should n''t?
9779But my father--?
9779But the woman?
9779But this man--?
9779But what shall we do if my father is n''t here? 9779 But who are you for?
9779But why have you not caused his arrest?
9779But why should she wait there? 9779 But wot I''m arskin''is, wot''s the matter with--""The_ Alethea_, Cap''n?
9779But you can tell me this: are you booked on the_ Minneapolis_?
9779But you got the sovereign? 9779 But''as either of you a plan?"
9779But-- but perhaps--"If you have to stay, it will be because there''s danger-- won''t it? 9779 But-- whither?"
9779Ca n''t you find out anything?
9779Ca n''t you suggest something? 9779 Can you tell me, is Mr. Calendar here?"
9779Changed my mind?
9779Come up bright and smilin'', eigh? 9779 D''you mean to tell me you came off from-- wherever in''ell you did come from-- intendin''to board this wessel and find a party nymed Calendar?"
9779D''you realize that this is next door to highway robbery, my young friend?
9779Dare?
9779Dead to the world... And now, Miss Calendar?
9779Despite the fact that you''re an honest man, Kirkwood?
9779Did I not know you at sight? 9779 Did n''t you find it?"
9779Did you think for a moment I''d let myself be nabbed by that yap from Scotland Yard? 9779 Did you''ave a nice little nap?"
9779Disappeared?
9779Do n''t you think I had better know?
9779Do n''t you?
9779Do you know,she commented,"that this is about the fifth repetition of that identical question within the last quarter- hour?"
9779Do you remember?
9779Do you think so?
9779Do you wish me to speak frankly, Madam? 9779 Do you wish to see me, sir?"
9779E- easy,he whispered;"and, I say, lend me a hand, will you, if Mulready turns ugly?"
9779Eccles has attended to your needs, I hope? 9779 Eh?
9779Eh? 9779 Eh?"
9779Eh?... 9779 Eighteen, or possibly nineteen, dining at the Pless in a ravishing dinner- gown, and-- unhappy?
9779Eighteen?
9779Enj''yin''yer sea trip?
9779Find what, sir?
9779For yer boat? 9779 Forbid?"
9779Four quid? 9779 Freddie, dear, do you feel able to walk?"
9779Gorblimy,''ow was I to know? 9779 Has he gone aboard?
9779Have a smoke?
9779Have you a Bradshaw on board?
9779Have you a match?
9779Have you a traveling- bag?
9779Have you any notion what he looks like?
9779Have you no welcome for me?--you, who have been permitted to live the quarter of a century without making my acquaintance? 9779 Here?"
9779How can I be sure?
9779How can I say?
9779How did you know?
9779How do I know?
9779How do I know?
9779How do you know what I meant to say?
9779How do you know--"How can it be otherwise?
9779How do you know?
9779How far''s Woolwich?
9779How is your son?
9779How long, then, have you known each other?
9779How much should you say you owe him?
9779How much, then?
9779How much?
9779How much?
9779How''s the tide?
9779How,she demanded in a breath, face blank with consternation,"how did you dare?"
9779How? 9779 How?"
9779However the dickens,he wondered audibly,"does the infernal machine work?"
9779I am infinitely complimented, Mrs. Hallam,Kirkwood assured her; and of the girl quickly:"You''re going back home?"
9779I am to content myself with the promise of the future?
9779I beg pardon?
9779I can do nothing more? 9779 I dare n''t doubt him-- dare I?"
9779I did n''t know where you wished to go--?
9779I do n''t think you''ll deny me? 9779 I know.... And you think--?"
9779I presume you could n''t put me ashore?
9779I suppose you''re the man who threw me that line? 9779 I suppose,"he put it to him abruptly,"you have n''t changed your mind?"
9779I sye,''ow did you come to get the impression there was a party named Almanack aboard this wessel?
9779I sye,''re you lookin''for some one you know?
9779I''ad trouble enough wif you at Bermondsey Ol''Stairs, hover that quid you promised, did n''t I? 9779 I''m afraid I have been very clumsy,"sighed Brentwick,"clumsy and impulsive... Kirkwood, do you hear anything?"
9779I''m convinced it''s a rendezvous...?
9779I''m obliged to ask you to tell me what you were doing in that''ouse.... And what''s the matter with this''ere gentleman?
9779I''m to understand that I''m dismissed, then?
9779I''ve got any amount of appetite..."''Ave you, now?
9779I-- ah-- pardon?
9779I-- thank you-- I have no further need--"You are quite sure? 9779 I?
9779I?
9779I_ was_ looking for some one to serve me in a certain capacity--"Certain or questionable?
9779If ever I say another word against my luck--"Who,inquired the girl, lowering her voice,"who is the gentleman in the flowered dressing- gown?"
9779If you press me,he returned winningly,"how can I refuse?
9779Inspiration to do which,he proceeded gravely,"came to me from the seafaring picaroon( Stryker did you name him?)
9779Is it quite necessary, now, to study those schedules? 9779 Is it?"
9779Is that offer still open?
9779It was n''t that? 9779 It would be best to defer explanations till a more convenient time-- don''t you think?
9779It''s about three, I think... Have you hurt yourself, dear? 9779 It''s all right--""You''re not hurt, truly?
9779It''s come with you now, I guess?
9779Kebsir? 9779 Last night, when you cut away so suddenly, you prevented my making you a proposal, a sort of a business proposition....""Yes--?"
9779Le''me alone, carntcher? 9779 Leavin''the dootiful darter?"
9779Leaving England?
9779Look here, did Dorothy have a-- a small parcel with her?
9779M''sieu''said the Gare du Sud? 9779 Madam, have you the right to know?"
9779Miss Calendar was here, at this door, in a four- wheeler, not ten minutes ago, and--"Then where is she now?
9779Miss Calendar, will you answer my question for yourself?
9779Miss Calendar?
9779Mister Kirkwood?
9779Mr. Kirkwood, ca n''t we be friends-- this aside?
9779Mr. Kirkwood, will you be good enough to tell me who and what you are?
9779Must I answer?
9779My dear,he requested the girl,"will you oblige me by sitting over here?
9779My father and mother were buried there..."And your fortune--?
9779My father?
9779My good man,he said with sublime tolerance,"will you be pleased to take yourself off-- to the devil if you like?
9779Myself,admitted Kirkwood fairly; and then, in a gleam of humor:"Were n''t you looking for me?"
9779Not really?
9779Nothing more?
9779Nothing more?
9779Now then, my man, what do you want there? 9779 Now, where''s it to be?"
9779Now, yer r''yal''ighness, wot can I do for you afore you goes ashore?
9779Oh, cut that, cawn''t you?
9779Oh, did I forget? 9779 Oh, what can it mean?"
9779Oh- h?
9779Oh? 9779 Or will you lend me five pounds and hold them as security?"
9779Ow? 9779 Ow?"
9779Ow?
9779Queensborough?
9779Quid, cabby?
9779Ready?
9779S''help me,--thickly,--"where''d you drop from, guvner?"
9779See that cab behind? 9779 Shall I hand it to you?"
9779Shall I? 9779 Since we are to say good- by so very soon,"suggested Kirkwood,"may I ask a parting favor, Miss Calendar?"
9779Sir,he said, somewhat austerely,"permit me to put a single question: Have you by any chance paid your cabby?"
9779Sir?
9779Sit down, d''you hear? 9779 Strapped?"
9779Ten bob,he bargained;"an''you runnin''awye with th''stuffy ol''gent''s fair darter?
9779Thank you,said Kirkwood; and, turning to the man,"Your boat?"
9779That night, at the Pless? 9779 That''s kind of you--""Ow, they ai n''t much use to me, but Bill Stryker''s allus willin''to accommodate a friend.... Four quid, you said?"
9779That''s why he went out and bought those damned oranges, is it? 9779 The caitiffs, Wotton?"
9779The opportunity to make a million in a year?
9779The other man?
9779The son of a gentleman too weak to believe that cubs need licking into shape? 9779 Then please to tell me frankly: are you going into any further danger?"
9779Then why--?
9779Then you admit,queried Brentwick civilly,"that you''ve no legal title to the jewels in dispute?"
9779Then you''re not completely wiped out?
9779There is n''t, is there?
9779There was n''t any one here that knew-- eh?
9779There''s no hope, I suppose?
9779There''s no particular way I can show my appreciation, I suppose? 9779 They ca n''t catch us, can they, Philip?"
9779This ship? 9779 Us?"
9779Vagabond?
9779Vagabond?
9779W''ere to, sir?
9779W''y, Bradshaw''s first- cousin to a halmanack, ai n''t''e? 9779 W''y?"
9779We''re in time?
9779Well, well?
9779Well?
9779Well?
9779Were n''t you taking chances, you and Charles?
9779Were you ever in San Francisco? 9779 Were you sorry for the change?"
9779What am I to think? 9779 What are you going to do?"
9779What are you going to do?
9779What d''you want of me?
9779What do you mean?
9779What else could I do?
9779What has that--?
9779What have you not?
9779What in hell_ are_ you driving at?
9779What is it?
9779What is it?
9779What makes you think--?
9779What name did you say?
9779What name shall I say, sir?
9779What of her?
9779What of that?
9779What sort of a vessel was she?
9779What was that?
9779What would n''t I dare for you, Dorothy?
9779What''s anybody''s motive, who figures in this thundering dime- novel?
9779What, in Heaven''s name, Calendar--?
9779What-- again?
9779What--"Sir, who said anything about the jewels?
9779What...?
9779What? 9779 What?"
9779What_ is_ the matter, dear?
9779Where does this open?
9779Where is it?
9779Where shall I tell the cabby to go this time, Miss Calendar?
9779Where to?
9779Where to?
9779Where waiting?
9779Where''s Miss Calendar?
9779Who is it?
9779Who was that man?
9779Who was that?
9779Who''s that?
9779Why ca n''t you be content with what you''ve got?
9779Why not sing it, cabby?
9779Why not?
9779Why wealthy?
9779Why... there_ was_ a black pearl scarfpin--"W''y, do n''t you remember? 9779 Why?"
9779Why?
9779Why?
9779Why?
9779Why?
9779Why?
9779Will you be pleased to enter?
9779Will you buy these?
9779Will you take these?
9779Wo n''t you let me ask if Mr. Calender is there, before you get out, then? 9779 Wot d''you want it for?"
9779Wot is it?
9779Wot''re you talking about?
9779Wot''s th''row?
9779Wot''s the odds? 9779 Wot''s the row?"
9779Would a sovereign help you out, Mr. Calendar? 9779 Ye- es, s- sir?"
9779Yes,argued Mulready;"but suppose this Kirkwood had taken on with you and then peached?"
9779Yes?
9779Yes?
9779Yes?
9779Yes?
9779Yessir?
9779You animated fossil, what d''you mean by telling me to go to the devil?... 9779 You are going to meet her, are n''t you?"
9779You are n''t afraid, Dorothy?
9779You ca n''t appreciate--The girl smiled bravely...."And after Brussels?"
9779You did n''t look--"I saw your knuckles whiten beneath the skin.... Who was it?
9779You do n''t remember? 9779 You do n''t suppose--?"
9779You heard me?
9779You mean you''d puncture me with that gun?
9779You mean--?
9779You rang, sir?
9779You say you landed him without a penny in his pocket? 9779 You turned up in the nick of time, for all the world like--""Harlequin popping through a stage trap?"
9779You will forgive me,--won''t you, my dear?--for causing you these few moments of needless anxiety?
9779You will not fail to call on me by cable, dear boy, if you need-- anything? 9779 You will''ave yer little joke, wo n''t you now?
9779You will,he told the man, adding abruptly:"Calendar, where''s your daughter?"
9779You wished to see me about something else, I''m sure?
9779You wo n''t forget?
9779You wo n''t mind telling me what happened to you and Dorothy?
9779You''re feeling better?
9779You''re not by any chance bound for America, are you?
9779You-- y- you knew my mother?
9779Youngster, you say? 9779 _ Eccles, is it you_?"
9779_ Is it you, Eccles_?
9779_ Well_, Mr.--Kirkwood?
9779''''Ow can I?''
9779''Misery loves company,''and it would n''t be pretty of me to desert you in this extremity, would it?
9779''Oo wants''i m to share goo''liker?
9779''That yer party?"
9779--"Officer, when''s high- tide this morning?"
9779... Dorothy, my dear,"turning impatiently from Mulready,"where''s that bag?"
9779... Tell me,"she pleaded, with palpable effort to steady herself;"what has happened?"
9779... What should I think of you, Miss Calendar?"
9779..."Could it be love at an hour''s acquaintance?
97799, Frognall Street?
9779A deserted house; and the girl alone in it!--was it right for him to leave her so?
9779Afraid?
9779After a moment,"I mean no discourtesy,"he began stiffly,"but--""But you do n''t care a farthing whether I believe you or not?"
9779After all, why not oblige the fellow?
9779Again,"Will we make it?"
9779Ah''m doin''no''arm, officer,--""Did n''t you hear me?
9779Ah, Monsieur, but who should say?
9779Ah, that''s better.... No harm, eh?
9779And he opened the gate, and bowed, and said, ever so pleasantly,''Wo n''t you come in, Miss Calendar?''
9779And how are you?
9779And if they are, why does Freddie Hallam go like a thief in the night to secure property that''s his beyond dispute?...
9779And in that case, what torment and what peril might not be hers?
9779And that''s why he felt so awful done up he would n''t take a hand at hunting you two down, hey?
9779And then you will tell me the whole story.... Wo n''t you?"
9779And what would you think of me if I deserted you then, af- after all y- you''ve done?...
9779And why the anxious undertone I detected in your note?"
9779And why?
9779And would you mind giving me your cards, please, all of you?"
9779And yourself?"
9779And,"''That all?"
9779Anythink else?"
9779Are you afraid?"
9779Are you in George Calendar''s pay?"
9779Are you sure-- sure that it''s all right-- with you, I mean?"
9779As your doting parent, I ca n''t consent to your marrying nothing- a- year.... For I surmise you intend to marry this Mr. Kirkwood, do n''t you?"
9779As--"We''re gaining?"
9779At sometime during the night he had lost( or been cunningly bereft of?)
9779At what time had his errant footsteps taken him through this curious survival of Eighteenth Century London?
9779Before they break in--""But this man--?"
9779Blandly ironic, returning to his impersonation of the shopkeeper,"Nothink else we can show you, sir?"
9779But did n''t my father--?"
9779But do n''t you know that he can do nothing now-- now that we''re safe?
9779But this morning, when you''ve had time to think it over--?"
9779But to what end?
9779But what can we do?
9779But what could I do?"
9779But you wo n''t,"Kirkwood added soothingly,"will you, Calendar?"
9779But you?
9779But-- which passage should he choose?
9779But-- would the art that he had cultivated with such assiduity, yield him a livelihood if sincerely practised with that end in view?
9779Ca n''t you see I''m hurt?
9779Ca n''t you see it''s the only way to save your treasure?"
9779Calendar''s?"
9779Calendar--?"
9779Calendar--?"
9779Calendar?
9779Calendar?"
9779Calendar?"
9779Calendar?"
9779Calendar?"
9779Calendar?"
9779Calendar?"
9779Can this be love?
9779Can you run?
9779Can you trust yourself to my protection until we reach your friends in England?"
9779Come now, guvner, is it gen''rous?
9779Could it be Number 9 into which they had passed?
9779Could n''t you ring another variation on the lunatic wheeze?
9779Could that not be made up?
9779D''you think I''ll temporize with you till Doomsday?
9779Did n''t you?"
9779Did she suppose he had spirited Dorothy Calendar away and then called to apprise her of the fact?
9779Did you want to see her?"
9779Do n''t hesitate out of consideration for me, Captain; I''m joke proof-- perhaps you''ve noticed?"
9779Do n''t you feel the need of a breath of fresh air, Wotton?"
9779Do you know that he has n''t a brass farthing to bless himself with?"
9779Do you think--?"
9779Do you understand?"
9779Do you wish me to tell what I know-- and all I know--,"with rising emphasis,--"of your social status and your relations with Calendar and Mulready?
9779Dorothy looked anxiously to Kirkwood, her lips forming an unuttered query: What did he think?
9779Eh?
9779Eh?"
9779Even at this critical moment he found himself repeating over and over to his heart the question:"Can this be love?
9779Feelin''''appier, eigh?"
9779Had he lied to his daughter?
9779Had not Mrs. Hallam, going upon he knew not what information or belief, been bound for Queensborough, with design there to intercept the fugitives?
9779Had she any tangible ground for believing that Calendar could be found in Queensborough?
9779Had they not heard?
9779Hallam''s?"
9779Hallam--?"
9779Hallam--?"
9779Hallam?"
9779Hallam?"
9779Have n''t you decided to try for the Bruges express?"
9779Have you stopped to think what part a rising young portrait- painter can contribute toward the rebuilding of a devastated city?"
9779He made no doubt that she had observed the passage; proof of that one found in her sudden startling pallor( of indignation?)
9779He wandered out into the night; he could not linger round the station till dawn; and what profit to him if he did?
9779Here''s a sprightly subject: What are you going to do, Mr. Kirkwood?
9779His name, please?"
9779How about it, Mulready?"
9779How did he know...?
9779How did you come to drag him into_ this_ business?"
9779How did you get them?
9779How did you--?"
9779How do I know?
9779How much did he know?
9779How much did you say?"
9779How was he to know that Calendar had not arrived and found his way to her?
9779How was he to open a diverting conversation with a young woman whom he had met under auspices so extraordinary?
9779How was that, Dorothy?"
9779How--?"
9779I believe that in substance such was your sapient counsel to me in the cabin of the_ Alethea_; was it not?...
9779I did n''t know what--""What''s o''clock now?"
9779I happen to know, Miss Calendar, and I--""How dare you, sir?"
9779I hope you were not hurt--?"
9779I make it quite clear?"
9779I presume they''re below--?"
9779I say, what''re you, doing here?"
9779I say, you chap, whoever you are, what''s happened?...
9779I wonder if he was''cute enough to take another way?
9779I''ve heard it''s the habit of you gentry to pack guns in your clothes.... None?
9779I''ve taken the liberty of stopping you because I have a word or two--""Ow, you''ave,''ave you?
9779If I knew the man--""You do n''t_ know_ him?"
9779If I knew, would I be here and him the devil knows where, this minute?
9779If it''s something that affects me, is it kind and right of you not to tell me?"
9779If my daughter is with me, she will have to endure the shame and humiliation--""Then why place her in such a position?"
9779If perchance he were to meet the girl again as she was leaving Number 9,--what then?
9779If the railway directorates of Europe conspired against them, what chance had they?
9779Indoors Kirkwood faced unhappily the enigma of fortuity, wondering: Was this by any possibility Number 9?
9779Is it possible that you still have a fear of my father?
9779It do n''t happen, does it, you''re the same man?"
9779Kebsir?...
9779Kirkwood accepted it half- heartedly( what else was he to do?)
9779Kirkwood agreed--"Yes?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Kirkwood?"
9779Lookin''for a friend?"
9779Lucky for us.... Or is it lucky?"
9779M''sieu''does not mind walking up?"
9779Miss Dorothy, what do you think?"
9779Moistening thumb and forefinger,"How''ll you have it?"
9779Money--?"
9779Mrs. Hallam was interested in the Hôtel du Commerce?
9779My father deposited them in bank this morning?"
9779My nyme''s Stryker, Capt''n Wilyum Stryker.... Wot''s the row?
9779Not ill are you, you wag?
9779Now are you disposed to continue the argument, or may I count on your being sensible?"
9779Now let us see: Where_ are_ you bound?"
9779Now there''s my home in Aspen Villas.... You have seen it?"
9779Now what the devil is_ this_ thing doing in this midnight mischief?...
9779Odd, is n''t it?"
9779Of a sudden,"W''ere''s the gel?"
9779Of course I can get another train at Tilbury?"
9779Of what colossal imprudence had he not been guilty?
9779Oh, what has happened, dearie?"
9779Oh, why_ did n''t_ you come home?
9779On the other hand, why should they wait for the latest train, rather than proceed by the first available in the morning?
9779Or is this the first trip to- night?"
9779Or shall I take the trouble to interest the police?"
9779Or that he was some sort of an adventurer, who had manufactured a plausible yarn to gain him access to her home?
9779Or were they, perhaps, aware of Kirkwood''s entrance, and lying_ perdui_, in some dark corner, to ambush him as he passed?
9779Or,"We''ll tire them out?"
9779Or-- harking back to her original theory-- that he was an emissary from Scotland Yard?
9779Perhaps you''ll explain how there''s no harm breakin''into unoccupied''ouses?"
9779Really and truly?
9779Really, our predestined paths are badly tangled, just now; are n''t they?
9779Reared to man''s estate, so sheltered from the wicked world that he never grew a bark?...
9779Should he take the plunge, or withdraw?
9779Strynge''ow_ we_''it it off, eigh?...
9779Sure there''s no mistake, young man?"
9779Sure?"
9779Take me-- take her; d''you hear?"
9779Take this man''s gun, from him, will you?"
9779That''s why he was so hot about picking a fight on the boat, hey?
9779The Pless, you said, sir?
9779The boy added peevishly:"Help a fellow, ca n''t you?"
9779The improbable possibility( But why improbable?)
9779The light--?"
9779The most shadowy of smiles touched her lips, the faintest shade of deepened color rested on her cheeks.... She was thinking of-- him?
9779The question now before the board is: Where now,--and how?"
9779The sort that never had a quarrel in his life,''cept with his tailor?...
9779The sound of retreating footsteps was stilled and"Yes?"
9779Then what was it that worried you?
9779Then you are--?"
9779Then, to Dorothy,"You understand, I trust, what this means?"
9779Then, with a thoughtful look,"You are sure this is wise?"
9779There is a chair.... Well, Wotton?"
9779There was only the briefest of pauses, during which she analyzed this; then, quickly,"But you hope to?"
9779This to the man at the wheel; then to Kirkwood:"Wot''s that, me lud?"
9779Understand?"
9779Understand?"
9779V THE MYSTERY OF A FOUR- WHEELER"What''s that?"
9779Vanderlip?"
9779W''y do n''t you go over to the light?...
9779W''y don''cher work?''
9779Wait?"
9779Was he, then, running away from Calendar and his daughter to chase a will- o''-the- wisp of his credulous fancy, off Sheerness shore?
9779Was this the second shadow he had seemed to see-- the confederate of him who had entered Number 9; a sentry to forestall interruption?
9779We ca n''t do anything if my lady is going to camp on our trail and tell everybody we''re shady customers, can we?
9779Well?"
9779Were they again to elude him?
9779Were you banking on that?
9779Were you surprised to find me in here, with you?
9779What could be her motive,--not in feeding him, but in involving her name and fortune in an affair so strangely flavored?...
9779What did anything matter, now?
9779What did it contain?
9779What had she to do with Care?
9779What harm could visit him if he yielded to this corpulent adventurer''s insistence?
9779What if he were mistaken, what if he had misunderstood, what if Mulready and Calendar had referred to another lodging- house?
9779What might your name be?"
9779What of it?...
9779What ought he to do?
9779What was he to do?
9779What''s there?
9779What?
9779When did he do it?
9779When had he heard of it?
9779When?
9779Where''ll I find this_ Allytheer?_""Best look sharp''r yer wo n''t find''i m,"retorted the one above.
9779Where''s that gladstone bag?"
9779Where?"
9779Who?
9779Why are you in London, enjoying our abominable spring weather?
9779Why but because Calendar and Mulready were to wait for Stryker to join them on the_ Alethea_?
9779Why but because the intruders did not wish the sound of closing to be audible to her-- or those-- within?
9779Why did Mrs. Hallam suspect him of designing to meet Calendar at Queensborough?
9779Why in thunder ca n''t I say the right thing_ right_?"
9779Why should I not tell you how I appreciate all that you have unselfishly done for me?"
9779Why should n''t I?
9779Why, then--?
9779Why--?"
9779Why?
9779Why?
9779Why?
9779Why?
9779Will you get on?"
9779Will you take my word for it, when I tell you she has not your right interests at heart, but the reverse?
9779Wo n''t you be kind enough to leave me alone?"
9779Wo n''t you believe me at your service?"
9779Wo n''t you believe me, please, when I say there''s absolutely not a soul in London to whom I could go and ask for shelter?
9779Wonder would your friend-- ah-- Mr. Kirkwood, lend me an arm?"
9779Wot''re you afryd of?"
9779Would the mental and physical equipment of a painter, heretofore dilettante, enable him to become self- supporting?
9779Yes, Wotton?"
9779You did mean it, dear?"
9779You did n''t see me hanging half out the window, to watch where you went, did you?
9779You follow me?"
9779You got it, did n''t you, cabby?"
9779You have indeed saved me from...""Yes?"
9779You set the pace, will you?
9779You throw yourself on a total stranger''s mercy because you''re in the deuce of a hole; and--?"
9779You understand-- you know--?"
9779You understand?"
9779You would not consent to share it with me until--?"
9779You''ear?"
9779You''ll dine with me, wo n''t you?"
9779You''ll mind the''orse a minute, sir?"
9779You''ll remember me, too, wo n''t you?
9779You''re a bad actor, are n''t you, Eccles?"
9779You''re an honest man, eh?"
9779You''re not too tired?"
9779You''ve known her long?"
9779_ Will_ you hurry?"
9779is it possible for a grown man to fall heels over head in love in two short hours?
9779or to Kirkwood?
9779really?"
9779what had become of her?
9779would not the police now, more than ever, be keeping a wary eye on that house of suspicious happenings?
10327''They say''? 10327 Absolute darkness?"
10327Albert Dupont?
10327All of which brings us to the second part of my question, Liane: Why Dupont?
10327And I am to believe you make this journey to help me regain them?
10327And Marthe: how is she to make the journey?
10327And afterwards--?
10327And are you going to obey that injunction to treat me as somebody''s sister?
10327And did they go?
10327And do we still drive out to Pré- Catelan to milk the cows after an adventurous night, mademoiselle?
10327And does mademoiselle''s forgetfulness, perhaps, extend even farther into the so dead past?
10327And has he?
10327And have you been thinking about what we said-- or what I said, my friend-- that night-- so long ago it seems!--three nights ago?
10327And madame''s packing?
10327And no backsliding?
10327And no hard feelings, Monsieur Phinuit?
10327And now will you tell me that Dupont knows nothing of your intention to motor to Cherbourg today?
10327And she was grateful?
10327And that was--?
10327And the excellent Phinuit?
10327And the experience has left you feeling a bit down, what?
10327And the ladies of the château,she enquired--"they were sympathetic, one feels sure?"
10327And the weather: have you sufficient acquaintance with these latitudes to foretell it, even roughly?
10327And then--?
10327And then--?
10327And there would be excitement and confusion, eh? 10327 And we leave to- morrow, madame, at what time?"
10327And what do we do with this evening of such questionable value?
10327And what happened?
10327And what is to prevent me from going ashore with these at once?
10327And when shall I say I will make the journey?
10327And where do we go, mademoiselle?
10327And where, pray, am I going?
10327And why should you not go with me to that America if I wish it?
10327And you have been wondering these last three days? 10327 And you saw nobody, monsieur?
10327And you were wounded?
10327And you, my friend?
10327And you----?
10327And your jewels, of course--?
10327And your plan of campaign is based on this conclusion?
10327And your two names are the same-- yours and your cousin''s? 10327 Are you disappointed?"
10327Are you so afraid of learning my girlish secrets then? 10327 Are you sure, monsieur?
10327Awake, Monsieur Delorme?
10327Blackmail?
10327But Albert: is he one of them, their employee or confrère?
10327But New York--?
10327But are n''t you forgetting you yourself have given that Smolny lot the same and quite as much reason for holding your name anathema?
10327But are you not afraid--?
10327But does it matter?
10327But how can I thank them?
10327But how did he get in? 10327 But is it possible,"Lanyard protested,"you still do not understand me?
10327But is not every story that has to do with the workings of the human soul? 10327 But is there anything more wonderful than the workings of the good God?"
10327But naturally..."How do you get that way? 10327 But one is so delightfully at ease here, and since the Prefecture can not possibly suspect... Are you then in such haste to be rid of me, Liane?"
10327But otherwise--?
10327But such a debt is always the first to be forgotten, is it not?
10327But tell me, my dear Don Juan,she protested:"Do all your conquests affect you in this morbid fashion?"
10327But the men sent here by your bankers--?
10327But to the police--?
10327But what of the affair at Montpellier the other night?
10327But what on earth do you want with that hamper, monsieur?
10327But when did you hear that, madame la comtesse?
10327But where on earth is one to go?
10327But where was Captain Monk all the while?
10327But who is Dupont?
10327But why has he made no other attempt--?
10327But why, if innocent, did he run away?
10327But why, monsieur, do you remain so obstinately incredulous?
10327But why? 10327 But why?"
10327But why?
10327But will not Leon and Marthe suspect and refuse to follow?
10327But you are sure?
10327But you were saying--?
10327But you, I think, belong to an even earlier day..."I, madame? 10327 But you, my friend-- what do you know?"
10327But your men, Captain Monk-- your officers and crew-- can you be sure of them?
10327But your servants..."Well, monsieur, what of them?
10327But, madame, you must not--"And why?
10327But, my dear friend, why America?
10327But,she demanded with an interest which was undissembled if tardy in finding expression,"how are you feeling to- day?"
10327But-- name of a sacred name!--what had that one to do with de Lorgnes?
10327But-- pardon-- you stay here?
10327But-- this is most interesting-- how did you get separated, you and de Lorgnes?
10327Captain Whitaker Monk?
10327Cigarette stub?
10327Conference?
10327Conquests?
10327Days in which, no doubt, Liane played a part?
10327De Lorgnes--?
10327Did Jules say half an hour?
10327Did n''t you know he was the premier cracksman of France? 10327 Did you by any chance open it and see what was inside?"
10327Do I hear you compliment me?
10327Do I? 10327 Do myself pretty well, do n''t you think?"
10327Do n''t you hear that bell, you ass? 10327 Do you complain about that?
10327Do you imagine for an instant that I class you with such riffraff?
10327Do you imagine he has had enough?
10327Do you know what that means? 10327 Do you know what you make me think?
10327Do you know you are a dangerous man, Monsieur Paul Martin?
10327Do you know, monsieur, it happens often to me to wonder how I should have so clever a brother?
10327Does one gather that you feel aggrieved with Captain Monk for not making you a partner in his new associations?
10327Does one infer that we start on our travels to- day?
10327Does one understand he had a history?
10327Dupont? 10327 Eh, bien, madame la comtesse?"
10327Even when you make it so difficult?
10327Ever take anything for it?
10327Fatal hour?
10327Flattery? 10327 For everything-- kindness, charity, sympathy--""What are those things?"
10327For that matter: how can you be sure you can trust me?
10327For what?
10327Glad tidings?
10327Go home?
10327Had you not heard?
10327Have I not communicated it to you?
10327Have you any idea how the thieves broke in?
10327Have you asked for any other sort?
10327Having never walked into the arrangement you propose, it would be difficult to back out-- would it not?
10327He really existed, this Lone Wolf? 10327 He told you that?"
10327He was really a count?
10327Heard--?
10327How can I do that?
10327How can you say such things?
10327How d''you mean?
10327How did you get hold of it?
10327How do I know whither you''ll blow, now you''re a free agent again, entirely on your own? 10327 How do you propose to accomplish that?"
10327How far is that, madame?
10327How is one to answer it? 10327 How is that-- help you?"
10327How is that?
10327How long ago?
10327How long, Jules, will Leon need--?
10327How long--?
10327How should I?
10327How strange monsieur should think he had ever known me by a name... What was it? 10327 How talk?
10327How then?
10327How''s that? 10327 How, madame?"
10327How--''dangerous''?
10327I am sorry, monsieur--"But why should you be? 10327 I do n''t mean you''ve got my reasons for feeling sore; but I do mean you''ve got reason enough of your own--""On what grounds do you say that?"
10327I do not understand..."What automobile are you using for our trip this afternoon?
10327I fancy I know what you thought about them..."And that is--?
10327I have a thousand things to do.... And, you understand, we leave as soon as you are dressed?
10327I have not deceived you, then?
10327I have thought well..."Yes?
10327I must have had a reason, do n''t you think, Monsieur Duchemin?
10327I presume you set some value on your skin?
10327I said you were a damned fool--"But is not that a matter of personal viewpoint? 10327 I say, skipper: do n''t you think we ought to be liberal with Monsieur Lanyard?
10327I wanted to consult you first, and...She broke off sharply to ask:"Yes, Jean: what is it?"
10327If madame will accept the advice of one not without some experience..."What else does monsieur imagine I am doing?
10327If you could describe them, perhaps--?
10327If you had, it might possibly have been worse-- mightn''t it? 10327 If you take it so...""But suppose you were not confident of my good will?"
10327In the same place?
10327In type?
10327Indeed, monsieur?
10327Inquisitive, you mean? 10327 Is anything the matter?"
10327Is it likely I would leave you behind to spread scandal concerning me with that gabbling tongue in your head of an overgrown cabbage? 10327 Is it likely?"
10327Is it possible you misunderstood? 10327 Is love, then, distasteful to you unless it be truly artless, Michael?"
10327Is n''t that a rather common human failing?
10327Is n''t that conclusion what you Americans would call a little previous?
10327Is n''t there some other way?
10327Is one, then, to understand that monsieur is making love to me?
10327Is that likely?
10327Is that my answer? 10327 It amuses you, then, to shoot arrows into the air?"
10327It is better, that pain, monsieur?
10327It is fast, this touring car?
10327It is not true what I say? 10327 It is quite possible: when one moves about the world, one is visible-- n''est- ce pas, monsieur?
10327It is that one grows bored, eh, cher ami?
10327It is true, according to all reports,the Comte de Lorgnes said:"Monsieur Lanyard-- that was the name, was it not?"
10327It was impossible to fix the blame..."Have you used all your intelligence, I wonder?
10327It was not serious, this wound-- no?
10327It''s all right, is n''t it? 10327 Just what do you mean?"
10327Later, then, you found reason to revise that theory?
10327Leading the talk up to my jewels, you mean?
10327Madame la Comtesse de Lorgnes?
10327Madame la comtesse...?
10327Madame takes all her jewels, then?
10327Madame''s chauffeur is waiting with the automobile, no doubt?
10327Mademoiselle does not believe?
10327Mademoiselle will explain?
10327Makes all what seem so unfair?
10327Marthe and Leon are in on the dirty work too, eh?
10327May they not have exercised their wits as well on the subject of your secret project, my friend?
10327Michael Lanyard?
10327Middle age? 10327 Might one suggest,"he did suggest in iced accents,"that the quarter- deck is a fairly conspicuous place for this exhibition of family affection?"
10327Millau is nearer, is it not, madame?
10327Mind?
10327Monsieur Monk?
10327Monsieur does not read the papers?
10327Monsieur received a telegram this afternoon?
10327Monsieur sees too clearly...."Why, if it comes to that-- what were you up to that night, pussyfooting about the château at two in the morning?
10327Monsieur suffers from insomnia?
10327Monsieur thinks--?
10327Monsieur wishes me to flatter myself into thinking he did me the honour of desiring to find me to- night?
10327More what?
10327Mr. Whitaker Monk, of New York?
10327Must it be a blow to the poor dear?
10327Must it be wasted?
10327My friend, my dear friend: tell me what I can do to repay you?
10327My pack--?
10327No fussing with the carte, no thrusting it into one''s hand and saying:''See anything you''d like, my dear? 10327 No, monsieur le curé?
10327No--"Why not?
10327Not otherwise, you think?
10327Now tell me what you know about the chauffeur who drives the limousine?
10327Now what do you say, brother dear?
10327Now will you be reasonable and go to bed?
10327Objection, madame?
10327Of what, madame? 10327 Of what, my friend, are you thinking?"
10327Oh, about me? 10327 Oh?"
10327One gathers that he took something else?
10327Or curiosity?
10327Or perhaps that one''s thought are constantly with one''s heart, elsewhere?
10327Pardon, mademoiselle: but is it likely that the late André Duchemin would have more to do with the police than he could avoid?
10327Pardon, mademoiselle?
10327Pardon, monsieur?
10327Pardon, monsieur?
10327Pardon?
10327Pardon?
10327Philosophy? 10327 Pilot come aboard, you think?"
10327Pretending, you mean-- for private ends?
10327Previous?
10327Profit? 10327 Pré- Catelan?
10327Rather than dedicate the remainder of my days to seeing the world through prison bars? 10327 Really?"
10327Say it''s all right, wo n''t you?
10327So soon?
10327So you did n''t think we''d be long spotting you in the good little old town?
10327Still wakeful?
10327Still, in the end--?
10327Suppose he tries to follow us to Cherbourg or to stop us on the way..."How should he know?
10327Suppose it gets thicker, a sure- enough fog? 10327 Taking your jewels with you?"
10327That is all, madame?
10327That was a long visit you made at the château, my old one?
10327That we have met before, when I term you a complete stranger?
10327The assassin?
10327The men from Paris, madame?
10327The millionaire?
10327The name of Duchemin?
10327The same?
10327The servants?
10327Then it was Jules----?
10327Then what has become of him?
10327Then why not tell me--?
10327Then you agree with me, it would save us all a heap of trouble to let him have them without any more stalling?
10327Then you believe it was Popinot, too?
10327Then you do know him?
10327Then you do n''t believe the grandiose illusions due to sudden wealth were alone responsible?
10327Then you do things with your nostrils, too?
10327Then you have guessed--?
10327Then you think somebody of the Préfecture recognized Duchemin in you?
10327There is danger, then?
10327There is something wrong, monsieur?
10327There would be a penalty, however?
10327There''s always the chance, is n''t there? 10327 They did not find their way into Cottier''s stock, then?"
10327This is all most interesting, monsieur, but...."Where do Monk and I come in? 10327 Three hundred and seventy kilometres?"
10327To do that you would have to go ashore...."Do I understand I am to consider myself your prisoner?
10327Travel?
10327True,he said;"but might not the wind--?"
10327Truly? 10327 Truly?"
10327Unattainable?
10327Uniquity? 10327 Useful?"
10327We are followed?
10327We took trouble enough to get them, do n''t you think? 10327 We-- monsieur?"
10327Well, Mr. Lanyard, what do you say?
10327Well, and what of him?
10327Well, monsieur, and what is your opinion?
10327Well, then: what about it?
10327Well, to- morrow, then: but how am I to get my passport vised?
10327Well, what about it?
10327Well, what''s the matter with Martha''s Vineyard over there? 10327 Well,"Phinuit hazarded with a good show of confidence,"I guess you wo n''t tell us to go plumb to hell, will you?"
10327Well... it''s this: Is or is n''t your right name Lanyard, Michael Lanyard?
10327Well?
10327What about Dupont?
10327What about the car, Phin?
10327What answer did you give them, then?
10327What are you getting at?
10327What are you getting at?
10327What became of him, then?
10327What can I do now to entertain you, dear sir?
10327What can he do? 10327 What d''you mean, you''re sorry?
10327What did that mean? 10327 What do you mean?"
10327What do you say?
10327What do you think, then?
10327What does it know? 10327 What had de Lorgnes?"
10327What has become of them?
10327What has that to do--?
10327What have you seen or heard?
10327What is it you want, Jean?
10327What is that?
10327What is the matter? 10327 What is this?"
10327What makes you think that?
10327What makes you think that?
10327What promise?
10327What then, mon ami?
10327What then?
10327What time is it, monsieur?
10327What''s on your mind?
10327What''s that go to do----?
10327What''s that?
10327What''s that?
10327What''s up?
10327Whatever happens, we musn''t be late for our date with Friend Boss, must we?
10327When did you lift them?
10327When had you known him?
10327When you came back with him-- or at any time-- did you see or hear--?
10327Where does Jean sleep?
10327Where now?
10327Where''s your hand?
10327Which animal?
10327Who else? 10327 Who is Dupont, and why?"
10327Who knows, Mr. Mussey? 10327 Who knows, madame, what they were?
10327Who knows? 10327 Who knows?
10327Who knows? 10327 Who knows?"
10327Who should know better the signs that tell of woman''s love for you, my dear?
10327Who that uses this part of the deck would be apt to insult his palate with such a cigarette? 10327 Who the deuce----?"
10327Who would dare attempt to burglarise the Château de Montalais? 10327 Who''d you think laid you out that night?"
10327Why did Dupont-- or Popinot,Lanyard persisted--"murder de Lorgnes?
10327Why did they call him the Lone Wolf, do you know?
10327Why do n''t you ever put your shoulder to the wheel, Lanyard? 10327 Why else do I go?"
10327Why not run the risk of interesting me, whoever I may be?
10327Why not, monsieur? 10327 Why not?"
10327Why should I mind whether you stay or go? 10327 Why should I not?
10327Why should I? 10327 Why should n''t I know about that?"
10327Why,he said pleasantly--"you misbegotten garage hound-- why do you ask?"
10327Would I not? 10327 Would it not have been more kind to forget?"
10327Wrong pew?
10327Yes, monsieur?
10327You admit, then, you have the jewels?
10327You are interested in the weaknesses of others, monsieur?
10327You are satisfied that one or all of its members committed the theft last night?
10327You are sure, quite sure it was a compliment?
10327You came aft on the port side, did n''t you?
10327You came down here-- alone?
10327You did n''t fail to question the servants this morning, yet learned nothing?
10327You do n''t mean to go on in the rain?
10327You have confidence in her loyalty?
10327You have had him long in your employ?
10327You have n''t signed on any new men here in Cherbourg?
10327You hope not, Liane?
10327You know something about de Lorgnes?
10327You know this?
10327You mean to say you''ve stolen them?
10327You mean you have sent to the Chatham for my things?
10327You mean, you ca n''t trust me?
10327You might have pity on my benighted curiosity...."Meaning this outfit?
10327You must wait for that?
10327You must wait for that?
10327You never sleep, no?
10327You propose, then, an alliance?
10327You recall asking me to help you last night? 10327 You recognised him?"
10327You refuse?
10327You reproach me?
10327You say a description of this assassin exists?
10327You should know I do,the woman breathed, so low he barely caught the words and uttered an involuntary"Pardon?"
10327You think she was listening?
10327You think so?
10327You were followed?
10327You will sit at my desk, monsieur?
10327You wo n''t get shirty?
10327You would not have faith,he said in a low voice,"if you knew--"She interrupted in a gentle voice:"Are you sure?"
10327You would see a cold- blooded crime go unavenged--?
10327You, Monsieur Duchemin?
10327Your brother, mademoiselle?
10327("''Complete''?"
10327After a moment the mutter resumed:"Well, what do you think?
10327Am I right or am I wrong?"
10327Am I to distrust you because others might who do not know you so well?"
10327An impossibility?
10327And Collison did n''t, either?"
10327And Madame la Comtesse?
10327And as for that: Why should I have faith in you, Liane?
10327And finally?"
10327And how did it happen that the dynamo went out of commission just then?
10327And if you did, what of that?
10327And so long as the owner was doing a little dirty work, why should n''t we get together and do something for ourselves on the side?
10327And the driver of the touring car: are you sure of him?"
10327And the woman: did she appreciate the sacrifice?"
10327And then, if their intentions were so blessed pure and praiseworthy, what right had they to make so many ambiguous gestures?"
10327And this Apache--?"
10327And what could I do?
10327And what then of the comfortable pseudonymity of André Duchemin?
10327And what under heaven did the brute think to accomplish in Laroche?
10327And where is that good Monsieur Monk to- night?"
10327And who am I that you should hold me in higher rating than any other man?"
10327And why did they do that, if not in remorse for betraying to her secrets which afterwards somehow found their way to the enemy?...
10327And why do you say that?"
10327And why this sudden departure in the chill break of dawn, a move so timed and executed that it wore every sign of haste and fear?
10327And you, Liane?"
10327And you, madame?"
10327And you?"
10327And,"she enquired demurely,"may one ask what are monsieur''s commands?"
10327And-- if you do n''t mind my asking-- what''s the idea?"
10327Are you not at my commands for the duration of my stay in Paris?"
10327Are you satisfied with the way I keep my word, monsieur?"
10327Are you then acquainted with a man named Phinuit-- given name unknown-- an American?"
10327As you have so fairly pointed out: what is either of us without the other?"
10327Because it sounds like iniquity?
10327Between lips that stirred so little their movement must have been indiscernible, he asked:"Who?"
10327But Liane retired only from the stage... You understand?"
10327But Paul Martin?
10327But a question: Will not people talk?"
10327But are you doing me the honour to be jealous?"
10327But her lips said only:"Have I kept you waiting a frightfully long time, poor boy?"
10327But how should you know it?
10327But is that all I''m to know?"
10327But perhaps you knew there were agents de police in the restaurant to- night?"
10327But possibly in this instance?"
10327But that wound--?"
10327But what else is every thinking creature, male or female?
10327But what is it you are doing all the time?
10327But what more?
10327But what of that?
10327But what really interests me, at present, is the question: Who is Dupont, and why?"
10327But what was he up to?
10327But what''s bothering you most?"
10327But what-- in the name of insanity!--could have inspired such a meaningless atrocity?
10327But why should I trust you, when you will not even be quite frank with me?"
10327But, messieurs, one question: Knowing I am determined to restore these jewels to their owner, why this open handedness?"
10327By what train?"
10327Can that be arranged?"
10327Can you give me any idea where we are, or will, approximately, at midnight to- night?"
10327Can you manage without headlights for a while?"
10327Captain Monk addressed Mr. Swain curtly:"It''s the chief''s watch in the engine- room?"
10327Could one require proof that one was followed?"
10327D''ye see how bad it would look for you?"
10327D''ye see?"
10327Did I not promise to do what I could?
10327Did I promise you a-- what do you say?--tender or Atlantic liner?
10327Did he fall for it?
10327Did n''t you tender me your resignation a moment ago?
10327Did she do him the injustice to believe him incapable of actually smelling out the jewels if ever he got within range of them?
10327Did she imagine that he was one of those who can see only that which is in the distance?
10327Did she think he did not suspect her of knowing more about them than she had chosen to admit?
10327Did they pick somebody up?"
10327Do I lose?"
10327Do I make myself clear?"
10327Do I make myself clear?"
10327Do n''t you know there is a strike to- day?
10327Do n''t you, Lanyard?"
10327Do you by any chance remember?"
10327Do you know any way we can keep them from him?"
10327Do you know the way?"
10327Do you realise I''ve had as much as two and a half glasses of champagne to- night, out of the countless bottles you''ve ordered?
10327Do you want us all to get soaked to our skins?"
10327Does anybody know?
10327Does n''t that tell you what you''ve done?
10327Duchemin?"
10327Ever since that night when those curious people stopped here in the rain.... Can it be that you suspect them of evil designs upon my trinkets?"
10327Finally: when your ex- chauffeur-- what''s his name--?"
10327For then we come to land, do we not?"
10327From employé to employer?
10327Had he, then, some enemy of old hidden under one of those sleek surfaces?
10327Had the binnacle compass, then, gone out of its head altogether, on finding itself bereft of its accustomed court of counter- attractions?)
10327Have you looked for finger- prints?"
10327He waited a moment, and then as she did nothing but sit and glimmer at him mischievously, he added:"Shall we go?"
10327He was more than a creature of fable?"
10327Her home?
10327How can it be otherwise to you?...
10327How could anyone reasonably expect my memory of those innocent girlish days to be exact?
10327How did Popinot know the lights would go out a few minutes after five bells?
10327How do you account for that?"
10327How much more may they not know?"
10327How much of this was acting?
10327How much, if anything, an expression of true feeling?
10327I ask it of you, I wish it.... To please me?"
10327I believe I understood Liane to say Captain Monk?"
10327I have enjoyed knowing you, monsieur, even under such distressing circumstances...""My wound?
10327I have often wondered... Would you mind telling me something, Madame de Montalais?"
10327I know you can get that tin safe of Whit''s open, when you feel like it, get the jewels and all; but what show do you stand to get away with them?
10327I mean, does your silence--?"
10327I mean, you are n''t going to kick up a rumpus and spill the beans?
10327I presume, Captain Monk, it''s not too late to send a note ashore to be posted?"
10327If champagne could be so easily smuggled into the States, why not diamonds?
10327If he won, of what avail?
10327If it''s true, we get them back, do n''t we?
10327If not, why must Duchemin have thought so?
10327If so, why did Monk, without betraying a sign of feeling the reproof, continue in French?
10327If there were only something like a crowd in the streets as there must have been earlier in the evening...""What are you thinking of, monsieur?"
10327If, however, I leave the jewels and lay an information against you with the police----?"
10327In attenuated accents Captain Monk, without opening his eyes or stirring under the caresses of that lovely hand, enquired:"What say, Phin?"
10327In the meantime, how does she stand?"
10327In the name of unreason-- why?
10327In the same manner Jules replied:"Ca n''t you see it''s going to rain?"
10327Is it likely one face would stand out in my memory more than another?"
10327Is it possible you still believe I am a thief at heart and interested in those jewels only to turn them to my own profit?"
10327Is it strange, then, that one''s curiosity is provoked, one''s imagination alternately stimulated and baffled?"
10327It is some lover, then, who has inspired this folly in you?
10327It''s rather nice, do n''t you think?
10327Lanyard addressed himself to Liane:"Do I understand the jewels are on this vessel?"
10327Lanyard echoed witlessly:"Mussey?"
10327Lanyard sighed--"how is one to resist when you plead so prettily to be compromised?"
10327Lanyard?"
10327Le Comte de Lorgnes?"
10327Liane Delorme breathlessly demanded:"What is it?"
10327Madame had not visited her home recently?
10327May I see yours?"
10327May one venture to compliment mademoiselle, who is marvellous in so many bewitching ways?"
10327Meanwhile we will have arrived at an understanding.... You comprehend, monsieur, I am resolved, this affair is now arranged?"
10327Monsieur knew New York?
10327Now he found himself with a solitary care to nurse, the question: What had her pillow advised Liane Delorme?
10327Now what could be more reasonable?
10327Now why should they do that?"
10327Only your pistol...""Well, monsieur: my pistol?"
10327Or had the fourth place been meant for Jules?
10327Or was she shrewdly playing upon his not unfriendly disposition toward her in the hope that it would spare her in the hour of the grand débâcle?
10327Phinuit?
10327Phinuit?"
10327Plans?
10327Posed in an inescapable glare of publicity, how long might he hope to escape recognition by some acquaintance, friend or enemy?
10327Rather than listen to my discourse, you actually agree to remove your jewels to a safe place?"
10327Re- emerging, she resumed:"Still, not without its compensations, eh, mon ami?"
10327Remember?"
10327Shall we let it rest at that, my dear?"
10327She added as Duchemin stepped out through the window:"Where are you going?"
10327Shut up-- do you hear?"
10327Since you leave it to me, shall we say the Ritz, at half past seven?
10327Still, the services of a good surgeon, as soon as may be...""Will it be dangerous to wait till we get to Nant?"
10327Surely you do n''t mind?"
10327Tell me: Is it the custom in your country--?"
10327That I leave them here for the scullery- maids to give their maquereaux?
10327That they will be stolen?
10327That''s fair enough, is n''t it?"
10327The footman, Leon...""You trust him?"
10327The icy accents of Liane Delorme cut it:"Well, Leon: what is your objection?"
10327The woman murmured blankly:"Mine?"
10327Then he added in a voice of complete respect:"Pardon, sir, but-- madame''s orders?"
10327Then thoughtfully:"You heard his companion of the café call him that?"
10327To you?
10327Truly not?
10327Was ever music sweeter?"
10327Was he not on the right of Eve de Montalais?
10327Was he not the peer of any sacred first- class pig that ever travelled by train in France?
10327Was he still after the Comte de Lorgnes?
10327Was n''t it promptly accepted?"
10327Was she actually persuaded it was waste of time to contend against him?
10327Was there, in this employment of French to respond to a question couched in English, the suggestion of a subtle correction?
10327We do n''t want to pull any rough stuff on you, Lanyard, and we wo n''t unless you force us to--""Rough stuff, monsieur?
10327Well, for the matter of that: How are you, Mister Wertheimer?"
10327What am I to do?"
10327What are men of science?
10327What could it profit his soul to make good a vain boast to Eve de Montalais?
10327What could it withhold that we desired?
10327What could its perpetrator have hoped to gain?
10327What d''you say?"
10327What did I tell you when you insisted on coming here to see Monsieur Lanyard?
10327What did she wish him to believe?
10327What do you think?
10327What do you think?"
10327What dodge was this that cloaked itself in such anomalous semblance of good faith?
10327What does it do when it knows anything?"
10327What else can one do?
10327What has happened to de Lorgnes?"
10327What have you asked of it that you have failed to get?
10327What have you been reading in those newspapers?
10327What have you to say to that?
10327What have you to say?"
10327What is a pistol between friends?"
10327What is it we have here?"
10327What is it you see?"
10327What is the reverse?
10327What manner of man was hidden behind the mask?
10327What mattered it whether he won or lost in this stupid contest whose prize was possession of a few trinkets set with bits of glittering stone?
10327What more can they say about Liane Delorme?"
10327What now of Duchemin''s doubts?
10327What one of us has not buried in him a story quite as strange?
10327What then, monsieur?"
10327What then?"
10327What was I to do?
10327What''s the use?"
10327What--?"
10327What?"
10327What_ did_ happen in the engine- room?
10327When Albert Dupont tries to take my life, as a simple and natural act of vendetta--""You really think it was that?"
10327Where are you off to?"
10327Who else?"
10327Who is it you''re looking for in Paris after midnight?"
10327Who knows how Duchemin discovered the theft before the ladies of the château did?"
10327Who next?
10327Who were they?"
10327Who, having seen you once, could help hoping to see you again?"
10327Who, please, are''they''?"
10327Why did Popinot pull off that little affair at Montpellier- le- Vieux?
10327Why did he seek to prevent our reaching Cherbourg?"
10327Why did he try to murder Mademoiselle Delorme?
10327Why did he try to put you out of his way a few days later?"
10327Why do n''t you tell me-- if there is anything to tell--?"
10327Why do you look at me like that?
10327Why else should he mistrust Liane''s sincerity in asserting that she had seen Popinot?
10327Why flatter yourself?
10327Why leave it all to me?
10327Why let them go without telling them--?"
10327Why not I, as well as another?"
10327Why not give in gracefully, admit you''re licked for once, be a good fellow?"
10327Why should you believe in me?
10327Why should you credit the sincerity of this confession, which costs me so much humiliation?
10327Why should you have remembered me?
10327Why this furtive appearance, why the retreat so abruptly executed?
10327With what possible motive...?
10327Without me-- well: what can you do?
10327Wo n''t you tell me quickly what possible value my poor talents can have found in your sight?"
10327Would it matter to her what success or failure meant to him?
10327You are suffering--?"
10327You do n''t want us to think you so stupid as to be wasting your time, do you?"
10327You feel able to travel?"
10327You know, perhaps, his diverting Travels with a Donkey?
10327You may lose a limousine, but you can afford to risk that as long as you are not in it-- eh, little long- lost sister?"
10327You mean to take her with you?"
10327You mean, physical force?"
10327You no longer doubt my devotion, my gratitude?"
10327You see?"
10327You think so?"
10327You truly have those magnificent emeralds, those almost matchless diamonds, of which one has heard-- the Anstruther collection?"
10327You will excuse me--?"
10327You wo n''t?
10327You''re both Whitaker Monks?"
10327You''re not going to back out?"
10327You''re taking trouble enough to get them away from us, are n''t you?
10327ancient history, eh?
10327but what else?"
10327enquired the Comte de Lorgnes--"that terrible attack upon you of which Madame de Sévénié has just told us?
10327have n''t we stumbled into the wrong pew?"
10327he cried in a low voice of wonder and protest--"why did you do that?
10327he said, handing it over to Monk--"how could anyone resist such disarming expressions?"
10327he said,"have n''t I?"
10327how long?...
10327madame la comtesse exclaimed with vivacity:"do you know what I have just discovered?
10327monsieur?"
10327raking up old scandal, eh?
10327she demanded--"is there any clue?"
10327she enquired with knitted brows--"regardless of what consequences?"
10327surely you do not expect me to think otherwise?"
10327the mutter persisted--"the Lone Wolf?"
10327travel alone to Paris with a treasure in jewels?
10327what are you thinking of?"
10327what have I ever done to that one that he should seek my life?"
10327you think that?"
