55535 | But what''s going to happen to me?" |
55535 | Ca n''t remember it... never mind, I say, old man,_ can_ you spare a bob?" |
55535 | Can you both manage the big one?" |
55535 | Can you imagine anything more peaceful than that book- case?" |
55535 | Can you speak French?" |
55535 | Did n''t you know?... |
55535 | Did you ever speak to her, then?" |
55535 | Do n''t you like being called a boy?" |
55535 | Do n''t you think I hate the idea of never being able to write it as I see it? |
55535 | Do you come often?" |
55535 | Do you see?" |
55535 | Do you think of the glory of the Fatherland and the splendour of dying for France?" |
55535 | Do you think we can live on three pounds a week?" |
55535 | Do you want to go there?" |
55535 | Does all this go towards the making of a man, as the steel is tempered by the fire? |
55535 | Eh? |
55535 | Eh? |
55535 | Eh?" |
55535 | Explain to them, wo n''t you? |
55535 | Go out in the morning and ask people? |
55535 | Had he really taken more than usual care to write his account of their doings? |
55535 | Had she ever been like Lilian? |
55535 | Have n''t you got her? |
55535 | He forgot everything else... what else mattered? |
55535 | He found himself pausing, pen in hand, at his desk in the reporters''room, thinking,"Would Elizabeth be pleased with this?..." |
55535 | He had felt humiliated by her words: did she imagine that he had no heart at all? |
55535 | He made swift calculations-- twelve and seven-- nineteen, and coals-- what of coals? |
55535 | He would ask himself, almost unconsciously,"What does it look like?" |
55535 | He''ll have to pay the cab, Elizabeth, wo n''t he?" |
55535 | His eyes wandered to the buttons.... What_ did_ he want to do? |
55535 | How could one abandon a calling where fortune may change in a moment? |
55535 | How did one"Get On"in the world? |
55535 | How did one_ make_ people talk? |
55535 | How old are you, Beaver?" |
55535 | How?" |
55535 | Humphrey had never said that he was a reporter: how did the policeman know? |
55535 | I mean... would n''t the room be lighter without them?" |
55535 | I shall be able to help you with your work,"he cried, buoyantly,"or will you drop it now?" |
55535 | I''ve done it Will you go through the evening papers? |
55535 | If only Daniel Quain had been there, with his world- wisdom and philosophy.... Tears, Humphrey? |
55535 | Is it that nobleman who came here a few weeks ago? |
55535 | Is it worth a contents bill?" |
55535 | Is there any system in life? |
55535 | It''s funny how few real, social friendships there are in the Street, is n''t it? |
55535 | Let''s go and have supper at the Chariot d''Or.... Will you join us, Mr Quain?" |
55535 | Married, is n''t he?" |
55535 | Miss Filmer, her name was, was n''t it?" |
55535 | Next to the Agency men they''re the most useful people in the world, eh, Beaver?... |
55535 | Odd, is n''t it? |
55535 | Of what avail would all their writing be, if it were not for the men and the machines below? |
55535 | Off Southsea, eh? |
55535 | Or, had there been nothing very special about the story after all, and was her letter merely a courtesy? |
55535 | Or, was it that the vision of her, and the recollection of her earnest eyes, inspired him to better work? |
55535 | Remember that time we had up in Chatsworth, when the Duke...? |
55535 | See?" |
55535 | Seen anything more of that fellow we met in Portsmouth on the Royal visit?... |
55535 | Since that day when Humphrey had first met him in Ferrol''s room, and he had laughed and said,"You''re not a genius, are you?" |
55535 | Tell us?" |
55535 | Then there was always the question of the other correspondents of London newspapers: what were the other fellows sending? |
55535 | Then you hear people saying,''How on earth did he come to marry her?'' |
55535 | There''s always room with us, ai n''t there, Tommy?" |
55535 | There''s sure to be a ticket in your office, why do n''t you ask to do it?" |
55535 | These children here will go through their school- days, and then-- what? |
55535 | They soon find out that it''s better to let hubby do the reporting.... Hullo, young man Trinder, what do you want?" |
55535 | They turned at Humphrey''s wavering"Excuse me....""Eh?" |
55535 | Think you''ll be able to do as well as John K. Garton one day?" |
55535 | This''ll be your first, wo n''t it?" |
55535 | Unless what? |
55535 | VI"One lump or two?" |
55535 | Was he?" |
55535 | We''re not going to be married to- morrow, are we?" |
55535 | Were they_ really nice_ people? |
55535 | What are you doing to- day?" |
55535 | What d''you want to know for?" |
55535 | What did London mean to him, then? |
55535 | What did Mr Filmer do? |
55535 | What do you do? |
55535 | What harm will it do?" |
55535 | What mattered anything to them, except that it touched the root of their lives? |
55535 | What of the others-- have any of them done as much good as he has done?" |
55535 | What on earth could have happened? |
55535 | What on earth should he say? |
55535 | What was his name?... |
55535 | What was it? |
55535 | What was the magic key that the other reporters had to unlock the conversation of those whom they went to see? |
55535 | What was their business and what did they achieve? |
55535 | What was there to be done to avoid it? |
55535 | What would Beaver say? |
55535 | What would old Worthing say...? |
55535 | What''s happened?" |
55535 | What''s her name?" |
55535 | What''s his business?" |
55535 | What''s up, old man?" |
55535 | When are you going to get married?" |
55535 | When did that happen?" |
55535 | When? |
55535 | Where would your home be? |
55535 | Who shall explain this extraordinary passion for bulrushes that still holds in its thrall the respectable landladies of England? |
55535 | Who were the Filmers? |
55535 | Who wrote it? |
55535 | Why could he not have told her all that he had felt? |
55535 | Why did you ever leave it? |
55535 | Why do all these people hold meetings? |
55535 | Why not? |
55535 | Why should n''t I have thought as I did at the funeral? |
55535 | Why should n''t you leave now?" |
55535 | Why was it necessary for him to mask and screen his emotions with absurd talk that only seemed to waste precious opportunities? |
55535 | Why?" |
55535 | Wratten,"he said, jovially,"coming up?" |
55535 | Yes, she had remembered him, and nodded to him, and that smile-- what did it mean? |
55535 | You have n''t a father, have you?" |
55535 | You know him?" |
55535 | You were there, were n''t you?" |
55535 | You''ve asked me the question I''m always asking myself-- How is it to be done?" |
55535 | do n''t you think_ I_ feel it too? |
55535 | have you thought of that? |
55535 | he said, hopelessly,"when are we going to get married? |
55535 | nom d''un nom_--to- night?" |
55535 | said the man, looking about him confusedly, and then, with a touch of indignation at being suddenly dragged into the game,"Me? |
55535 | she cried,"is anything the matter with you?" |
55535 | some one would be asking, or"What about Berlin?"... |
55535 | was n''t I in it?" |
55535 | where does she live?" |
55535 | yes; you''ve been on an Easterham paper, have n''t you?" |
55535 | young Quain-- been busy to- day?" |
