| 26240 | Why? |
| 26240 | Will he live? |
| 26240 | Will it be very difficult to reach the President? |
| 26240 | Will the President be there, Captain? |
| 26240 | Will you come to the hotel before they arrive? |
| 26240 | Will you follow me while I lead you through this town, to show them their chief has fallen, or will you force me to drag you? |
| 26240 | Will you grant my prayer? |
| 26240 | Will you hear the prayer of a broken- hearted mother of the South, who has lost four sons in General Lee''s army? |
| 26240 | Will you join us now, sir? 26240 Will you never breathe it to a soul if I do?" |
| 26240 | Will you tell? |
| 26240 | Will you vote? |
| 26240 | With apologies to the dogs----"Apologies to the dogs----"And why does your master honour the kennel with his presence to- day? |
| 26240 | With thousands of your own people disfranchised? |
| 26240 | Wo n''t you give this all up for my sake? |
| 26240 | Would you consider an offer of twenty dollars an acre? |
| 26240 | Would you have let him? |
| 26240 | Yet may we not train him? |
| 26240 | You are determined to oppose negro suffrage? |
| 26240 | You are initiating the negroes into the League and teaching them the new catechism? |
| 26240 | You could have told that story only to the one man whom you love-- is it not true? |
| 26240 | You do n''t mean it? |
| 26240 | You doan b''long ter no s''iety, what yer git in dat line ter vote for? |
| 26240 | You have just come from the Camerons? |
| 26240 | You hear''bout de great sassieties de Gubment''s fomentin''in dis country? |
| 26240 | You refuse to heed the wishes of Congress? |
| 26240 | You remember the young man I pardoned for a similar offence in''62, about which Stanton made such a fuss? |
| 26240 | You will let me kiss you? 26240 You will let me see him and thank him the moment he comes?" |
| 26240 | You will not forget to tell him for me? |
| 26240 | You wo n''t mind if I give you a few lessons in history, will you? |
| 26240 | You''ll tell me all your love affairs? |
| 26240 | You_ do n''t_ approve of such injustice? |
| 26240 | Your decision is unalterable? |
| 26240 | Your horse is a good one, my child? |
| 26240 | Your land, Uncle Aleck? 26240 _ Almost_ to a man?" |
| 26240 | A battle with United States troops now might mean ruin for the South----""But you will save him?" |
| 26240 | Aleck recovered his dignity and demanded angrily:"Does yer belong ter de Heroes ob Americky?" |
| 26240 | And yet you press this crime upon a brave and generous foe?" |
| 26240 | Any further ecclesiastical orders?" |
| 26240 | Are our skirts free? |
| 26240 | Are the Night Hawks ready to submit their evidence?" |
| 26240 | Are there any others?" |
| 26240 | Are you given to visions?" |
| 26240 | As the old Commoner hobbled through the door, his crooked cane thumping the marble floor, Sumner seized and pressed his hand:"How did you do it?" |
| 26240 | Blanched with horror, the mother sprang before Marion with a shivering cry:"What do you want?" |
| 26240 | But may it not all come out right in the end? |
| 26240 | By what authority have you appointed military governors in the''sovereign''States of Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana? |
| 26240 | Can Barbarism go Further?" |
| 26240 | Can a man keep his face straight in such a world? |
| 26240 | Can any one undo this pardon now?" |
| 26240 | Can he control Stanton? |
| 26240 | Can human flesh endure it? |
| 26240 | Can we assimilate the negro? |
| 26240 | Can you conceive the desolation of_ my_ heart? |
| 26240 | Can you help me?" |
| 26240 | Could he win her? |
| 26240 | Could it be possible they had ventured too near the brink and fallen over? |
| 26240 | Could negro blood degrade such stock? |
| 26240 | Dat ole army cote?" |
| 26240 | Did he aim to make this woman the arbiter of its social life, and her ethics the limit of its moral laws? |
| 26240 | Did you say--_Phil_?" |
| 26240 | Did you say_ Marse_ Ben? |
| 26240 | Do you know Mr. Johnson? |
| 26240 | Do you own a store?" |
| 26240 | Dr. Cameron turned pale, and trembling with excitement, asked his friend:"Can that man pass such measures, and the Governor sign them?" |
| 26240 | Elsie saw the look of helpless appeal in the mother''s face and hurried forward to meet her:"Is this Mrs. Cameron, of South Carolina?" |
| 26240 | Had you noticed it, Margaret?" |
| 26240 | Has not the South lost all? |
| 26240 | Have not the Southern people paid the full penalty of all the crimes of war? |
| 26240 | Have you been sent to place these irons on me?" |
| 26240 | Hawk, as Dundreary, was speaking his lines and looking directly at the President instead of at the audience:"Society, eh? |
| 26240 | He can not pretend that these shackles are needed to hold a weak unarmed man in prison, guarded by two hundred soldiers?" |
| 26240 | He gasped for breath, sank into his seat, looked around, and said:"Will you close the door?" |
| 26240 | He sank exhausted in his chair, and, extending his hand in an eloquent gesture, continued:"Surely, surely, sir, the people of the North are not mad? |
| 26240 | He took Ben''s place just before the guards were exchanged----""Phil!--Phil?" |
| 26240 | His old master transfixed him with his eyes, and in a voice, whose tones gripped him by the throat, said:"How dare you?" |
| 26240 | His very presence before them an open defiance of love and life and death, would not his word ring omnipotent when the verdict was rendered? |
| 26240 | How I''ve dreamed of your future? |
| 26240 | How can a human being stand it? |
| 26240 | How can a man live in this world and keep his face straight?" |
| 26240 | How do we account for sleep and dreams, or second sight, or the day dreams which we call visions?" |
| 26240 | How do you like it?" |
| 26240 | How long, O Lord? |
| 26240 | I never saw a female idiot in my life-- did you?" |
| 26240 | I thought this a new thing under the sun?" |
| 26240 | I wish to take you to the theatre to- night, if you will go?" |
| 26240 | In your soul of souls you do n''t believe in the equality of man if the man under comparison be a negro?" |
| 26240 | Instinctively he stopped, surveyed the man from head to foot and asked:"What''s the trouble?" |
| 26240 | Is civilization a patent cloak with which law- tinkers can wrap an animal and make him a king?" |
| 26240 | Is dat de straight ticket?" |
| 26240 | Is n''t he handsome? |
| 26240 | Is n''t it the distant beat of horses''hoofs?" |
| 26240 | Is not God''s vengeance enough? |
| 26240 | Is the respondent, Andrew Johnson, guilty or not guilty of a high misdemeanor as charged in this article?" |
| 26240 | Is you er hero?" |
| 26240 | It was Papa''s study just as he left it, with his papers scattered on the desk, the books and pictures that he loved-- you wo n''t mind?" |
| 26240 | May I go?" |
| 26240 | May I, again?" |
| 26240 | May not the black man speedily emerge? |
| 26240 | McAllister?" |
| 26240 | Might not an ape improve it? |
| 26240 | Must I say''Your Excellency?''" |
| 26240 | Must we wait in line?" |
| 26240 | No? |
| 26240 | Now that they have taken me at my word, shall I betray them by an ignoble revenge? |
| 26240 | Now that we have won, and established for all time its unity, shall we stultify ourselves by declaring we were wrong? |
| 26240 | Now, will you go?" |
| 26240 | On the brink of the precipice, the mother trembled, paused, drew back, and gasped:"Are you not afraid, my dear?" |
| 26240 | Our party has lost its first President, but gained a god-- why mourn?" |
| 26240 | Over the solemn trembling silence the voice of the Chief Justice rang:"Senator Ross, how say you? |
| 26240 | Phil looked at the freshly cut circle and laughed:"I wonder if Marion or her mother did that?" |
| 26240 | President?" |
| 26240 | Shall they return to rule?" |
| 26240 | She attempted to rise, and cried in rage:"How dare you, black brutes?" |
| 26240 | Stanton?" |
| 26240 | Stoneman snorted in disgust:"Will you ask the Mayor to call to see me at once?" |
| 26240 | Stoneman''s face was a thundercloud as he scrambled to his feet and glared at Aleck:"_ Marse_ Ben? |
| 26240 | Suppose the_ Monitor_ had arrived one hour later at Hampton Roads? |
| 26240 | Tell him to hold five hundred men ready for action in the woods by the river and the rest in reserve two miles out of town----""May I go with her?" |
| 26240 | That North Carolina and other waste territories of the United States are unfit to associate with civilized communities?" |
| 26240 | The Lieutenant approached and remonstrated:"Why compel me to add the indignity of personal violence? |
| 26240 | The doctor-- has-- not-- concealed-- his-- true-- condition-- from-- me?" |
| 26240 | The election judge straightened himself up with great dignity:"What wuz de rapscallion doin''?" |
| 26240 | They began to cry, and he said with a smile:"Come now-- do you love me?" |
| 26240 | To blockade a port? |
| 26240 | To create the State of West Virginia by the consent of two states, one of which was dead, and the other one of which lived in Ohio? |
| 26240 | To declare slaves free? |
| 26240 | To invade one for coercion? |
| 26240 | To suspend the writ of_ habeas corpus_? |
| 26240 | Turning to Dr. Cameron, he asked:"Why should they put a brute like this in charge of the poor?" |
| 26240 | Was Sherman''s march a picnic? |
| 26240 | Was he too late? |
| 26240 | Was his the mysterious arm back of Stanton? |
| 26240 | Was she cold and incapable of love? |
| 26240 | We can yet appeal to the conscience and the brain of our brethren of a common race?" |
| 26240 | Were they not the children of her soul in that larger, finer world of which she had dreamed and sung? |
| 26240 | Were you there?" |
| 26240 | What could it mean? |
| 26240 | What do you know against him?" |
| 26240 | What does your lover think of it all? |
| 26240 | What else matters? |
| 26240 | What have I done?" |
| 26240 | What is it?" |
| 26240 | What more do you want?" |
| 26240 | What shall I do?" |
| 26240 | What ud yer do widout er man lak me enjued wid de sperit en de power ter splain tings?" |
| 26240 | What will happen in the South? |
| 26240 | What''s that?" |
| 26240 | When did you ever know me to deny my help to a weak man or woman in distress?" |
| 26240 | When did you get it?" |
| 26240 | Whence came this miracle of influence about him, this gift of intimacy? |
| 26240 | Who knows? |
| 26240 | Who''s he?" |
| 26240 | Why beat your wings against the thing that is and must be? |
| 26240 | Why should she give them up now for brutal politics? |
| 26240 | Why trim the hedge and lie about it? |
| 26240 | Will you be kind enough to explain to this court what has happened to you lately to so miraculously change your manners?" |
| 26240 | Would Congress follow the lead of the President or challenge him to mortal combat? |
| 26240 | Would Grant, the Commanding General of the Army, dare protest? |
| 26240 | Would not his name be a terror for every man and woman born under Southern skies? |
| 26240 | Would the Southerners be allowed to enter? |
| 26240 | Yet-- would he dare? |
| 26240 | You did n''t refuse Henry Grier because you loved Ben Cameron-- now, did you?" |
| 26240 | You do n''t approve of such things, I know?" |
| 26240 | You do n''t mind black cats, do you?" |
| 26240 | You do n''t mind jay- birds, do you?" |
| 26240 | You know Margaret, too, do n''t you?" |
| 26240 | You met him in Washington, did n''t you?" |
| 26240 | You understand?" |
| 26240 | You wo n''t let anybody hurt him?" |
| 26240 | Your perfect trust to- night is the sweetest revelation that can come to a woman''s soul and yet it brings to me unspeakable pain----""For what?" |
| 26240 | and from what secret cave will this whirlwind come?" |
| 26240 | said Ben;"if you ca n''t ratify with a rat, I''d like to know why?" |
| 26240 | when they realize its meaning, whose arm will be strong enough to hold them?" |
| 36666 | A few days ago? |
| 36666 | A whole year? |
| 36666 | About us----"How? |
| 36666 | About what? |
| 36666 | Afraid of you? |
| 36666 | Ah, please? |
| 36666 | All right-- now what do you think of that little scrimmage at the mouth of the harbor of Santiago yesterday? 36666 All right; when they have bought those farms and their sons and daughters are rich and cultured-- what then?" |
| 36666 | Am I not worth waiting for? |
| 36666 | An''I des has er little indiscretion----"Oh, you make me tired, how can I help a coward? |
| 36666 | An''please, sah, wo n''t yer gimme jes a little advice befo''you go? |
| 36666 | An''what''d you do, m''am? |
| 36666 | And Cleo? |
| 36666 | And I asked you if everything was all right at home? |
| 36666 | And I feel the same-- isn''t it funny? |
| 36666 | And his voice? |
| 36666 | And how''s aunt Minerva? |
| 36666 | And if I convince you,he went on tenderly,"you will submit yourself to my advice and leave America?" |
| 36666 | And if a curse is branded on my forehead you''ll take its shame as yours? |
| 36666 | And if you had been, sir? |
| 36666 | And in your absence? |
| 36666 | And it will not heal again? |
| 36666 | And may I ask how? |
| 36666 | And may I ask what you mean by that? |
| 36666 | And my father? |
| 36666 | And she''s''atter''you? |
| 36666 | And the possibility of my meeting this girl never occurred to you? 36666 And these millions of children born in the shadows-- these mulattoes?" |
| 36666 | And they are going straight to the Governor''s mansion? |
| 36666 | And they walked right up? |
| 36666 | And told you why? |
| 36666 | And what did he say to the Committee? |
| 36666 | And what did you expect? |
| 36666 | And what happened? |
| 36666 | And which horn of the dilemma do you take? |
| 36666 | And whom would I imperil? |
| 36666 | And why have you not told me before? |
| 36666 | And why not? |
| 36666 | And yet if you are human how could you dare defy the laws of man and God to bring about this marriage? |
| 36666 | And you contemplate entering politics? |
| 36666 | And you did n''t kill him? |
| 36666 | And you find instead? |
| 36666 | And you have n''t guessed? |
| 36666 | And you like her personally? |
| 36666 | And you propose to prevent that contact? |
| 36666 | And you think that I will allow you to remain in my house after what has passed between us? |
| 36666 | And you will dare such a program? |
| 36666 | And you''re not afraid of me? |
| 36666 | And you? |
| 36666 | Are Tom and Miss Helen lovers? |
| 36666 | Are you one of Norton''s men? |
| 36666 | Beat her? |
| 36666 | Because I do n''t like her, and her presence here may be very dangerous just now----"Dangerous-- what on earth can you mean? |
| 36666 | But I did n''t say to throw them on the horse''s head, did I? |
| 36666 | But I see you''ve come-- Cleo told you? |
| 36666 | But if I came in vain, why at all? |
| 36666 | But if I ever find her,he went on dreamily,"do you know what I''ll want?" |
| 36666 | But suppose I convince you? |
| 36666 | But suppose,he said quietly,"you should hate this man when you had met?" |
| 36666 | But what the devil is the meaning of this silence, Schlitz? |
| 36666 | But why continue to rouse the bitterness of racial feeling? 36666 But you did n''t?" |
| 36666 | But, say, look here, brethren,Peeler pleaded between shattering teeth,"ca n''t we compromise this thing? |
| 36666 | Ca n''t I hear what you have to say? |
| 36666 | Ca n''t ye gimme a drink of somethin''? 36666 Can you trust her?" |
| 36666 | Claim? 36666 Come now, gemmens,"he went on;"what''s de lowes''offer ye gwine ter start me fer dese folks? |
| 36666 | Congress, under the iron rule of Stevens, will send them, I grant you----"Then why hesitate? |
| 36666 | Dare? |
| 36666 | De Lawdy, major, you ai n''t gwine off an''leave dese mint juleps lak dat, is ye? |
| 36666 | Defend me with your life if the major attacks me to- night? |
| 36666 | Demand? |
| 36666 | Did Cleo find it out? |
| 36666 | Did I? |
| 36666 | Did my true love call? |
| 36666 | Did she tell you that? |
| 36666 | Did you guess that lie? |
| 36666 | Did you miss me? |
| 36666 | Did you speak to me? |
| 36666 | Did you-- did you know any of my people, sir? |
| 36666 | Dis yo''will, sah? 36666 Do n''t yer think my hair''s gittin''straighter, sah?" |
| 36666 | Do n''t you think I do pretty well? |
| 36666 | Do you know de way, sah? |
| 36666 | Do you know that you''re the first boy I ever talked to in my life? |
| 36666 | Do you know what''s in this note, Cleo? |
| 36666 | Does any one else share it? |
| 36666 | Does any one in this house suspect it? |
| 36666 | Does it pain you? |
| 36666 | Duty? |
| 36666 | Even so, in a Democracy with equality as the one fundamental law of life, what are you going to do with them? 36666 Everything all right at home, Andy?" |
| 36666 | Has Tom been back here during the past weeks to see Miss Helen? |
| 36666 | Have I given you any such evidence during the past twenty years? |
| 36666 | Have I? |
| 36666 | Have n''t you a wife living, Andy? |
| 36666 | Have n''t you been afraid of Cleo? |
| 36666 | Have n''t you lied to me? |
| 36666 | Have you a pin? |
| 36666 | Have you got enough? |
| 36666 | He asked me if Mr. Tom been back here in de past fo''weeks----"Asked if Tom had been back here? |
| 36666 | He gave you no facts-- only these vague warnings? |
| 36666 | He has always known the truth and now that I am of age he has told me----"Told you what? |
| 36666 | He voted for you? |
| 36666 | Hey? |
| 36666 | His platform? |
| 36666 | How can it be wrong, this solemn pledge of life and love, of body and soul? |
| 36666 | How dare you insult me? |
| 36666 | How did he open it? |
| 36666 | How late? |
| 36666 | How long since those men left the jail? |
| 36666 | How many hours have they usually spent together? |
| 36666 | How much have you used? |
| 36666 | How on earth can you work in such a mess? |
| 36666 | How you could willfully and deliberately do this beastly thing? |
| 36666 | How? |
| 36666 | How? |
| 36666 | How? |
| 36666 | I merely asked, have you a pin? |
| 36666 | I propose to raise immediately an army of fifty thousand loyal white men, arm and drill them without delay----"Where''ll you get them? |
| 36666 | I say, may I come in? |
| 36666 | I thought you were coming for that? |
| 36666 | I thought you''d been telling me? |
| 36666 | I trust you will not find yourself unhappy or embarrassed in remaining here alone until we return? |
| 36666 | I want to know why you began this campaign at all? |
| 36666 | I wonder why you wo n''t let me work here? |
| 36666 | I wonder why? |
| 36666 | I''m going back-- but I''ll give her up and let you educate her in a convent on one condition----"What? |
| 36666 | I''m going to do my level best to prove myself worthy of the big faith you''ve shown in me-- but why have you done it? 36666 I''m not going back home----""Why not?" |
| 36666 | I''m wondering----"What? |
| 36666 | If you''se''lected? |
| 36666 | Important business here? |
| 36666 | In case anything happens to me before it ends----Tom bent close:"What do you mean?" |
| 36666 | In what respect? |
| 36666 | In what? |
| 36666 | In which category you place the author of a certain book, I suppose? |
| 36666 | Insult you, is I? |
| 36666 | Into the Capitol Square? |
| 36666 | Is her home life clean? |
| 36666 | Is it possible? |
| 36666 | Is my work nothing to you? |
| 36666 | Is she still hysterical? |
| 36666 | Is that all? |
| 36666 | It must have been deep-- what duty? |
| 36666 | It was quite dark----"What time?--eight, nine, ten or eleven o''clock? |
| 36666 | It''s a waste of breath for you to talk to me about this thing--he turned on her fiercely:"Why do you wish to go back there? |
| 36666 | It''s all right? 36666 It''s not bad news, I hope?" |
| 36666 | It''s nothing to you? |
| 36666 | Lord, I thought it was mush and milk-- I thought it was your supper!--don''t you eat no supper? |
| 36666 | Major Norton, I believe? |
| 36666 | Married? 36666 Mean it? |
| 36666 | Miss Jean called me? |
| 36666 | Mr. Tom want me ter tell de major ter- night? 36666 Must it be so dirty?" |
| 36666 | My faith in him is too big----"You can conceive of no such barrier? |
| 36666 | My father-- my mother-- they are living? |
| 36666 | My father? |
| 36666 | My hundred picked men are waiting? |
| 36666 | My-- real-- relations? |
| 36666 | Nasah!--But ai n''t dey no way dat I kin help ye, major? 36666 No, I just came to thank you for what you did and see if you would n''t let me work for you?" |
| 36666 | No-- really? |
| 36666 | No-- what? |
| 36666 | No? |
| 36666 | No? |
| 36666 | No? |
| 36666 | Nothing more? |
| 36666 | Nothing of the sort-- isn''t this Buffalo creek? |
| 36666 | Now I want to know what you''re up to? 36666 Now tell me, darling, how can I help you?" |
| 36666 | Now, what I want to know is,the boy began,"what the devil you mean by pulling me out of bed this time of day?" |
| 36666 | Now, what do you think of that? |
| 36666 | Oh, God, will they never stop? |
| 36666 | Oh, is that all? |
| 36666 | Please let me clean this place up for you? |
| 36666 | Really? |
| 36666 | Say, man, is dat a hat er a bee- gum? |
| 36666 | Scared-- who me? 36666 Shall I introduce you?" |
| 36666 | She got an invitation? |
| 36666 | Signed with your name? |
| 36666 | So I am your servant? 36666 So Tom''s crazy about her?" |
| 36666 | Sorry-- for what? |
| 36666 | Suppose my father were a criminal? |
| 36666 | Suppose,he said in a queer tone,"I tell you that the barrier between you is so real, so loathsome----""Loathsome?" |
| 36666 | Tell me what it is? |
| 36666 | The Klan_ is_ a band of lawless night raiders, is n''t it? |
| 36666 | The big, wonderful love that comes to the human soul but once? |
| 36666 | The other is the big physical enigma----"You mean? |
| 36666 | The right to love----Norton broke into a bitter, angry laugh:"Are you demanding that I marry you?" |
| 36666 | Then there may be a slender chance? |
| 36666 | Then what could have been her motive? |
| 36666 | Then what is it? |
| 36666 | There are just two dangers----"What? |
| 36666 | They did n''t even have to pack that nasty old gauze in it again-- were you very much scared waiting out there, Dan? |
| 36666 | They returned late occasionally? |
| 36666 | This is Major Norton? |
| 36666 | To kill the Governor? |
| 36666 | To- morrow morning, then? 36666 To_ allow_?" |
| 36666 | Told her what? |
| 36666 | Tom not come? |
| 36666 | Too bad-- shall I get it for you? |
| 36666 | Vaguely,Tom answered, and turning squarely on his father asked:"Would you mind telling me the whole truth about it?" |
| 36666 | Was I staring? |
| 36666 | We leave to- night on the midnight express----"You can do nothing more? |
| 36666 | Well, I''m not-- so what''s the use? 36666 Well, doctor?" |
| 36666 | Well, for heaven''s sake, why did n''t you let us know? |
| 36666 | Well, is n''t it? |
| 36666 | Well, what have you to do with that? |
| 36666 | Well, what the devil do you want? |
| 36666 | Well, why do you stare at me like that? |
| 36666 | Well? |
| 36666 | Well? |
| 36666 | Well? |
| 36666 | Were they alone? |
| 36666 | What are you afraid of? |
| 36666 | What are you standing there for? |
| 36666 | What are you up to? |
| 36666 | What can I do? 36666 What de matter wid me inside?" |
| 36666 | What did he do? |
| 36666 | What do you mean by that? |
| 36666 | What do you mean? |
| 36666 | What do you mean? |
| 36666 | What do you want? |
| 36666 | What does it mean? |
| 36666 | What else do you expect? |
| 36666 | What for? |
| 36666 | What has happened, major? |
| 36666 | What have you got your hat for? |
| 36666 | What in the world''s that? |
| 36666 | What is it? |
| 36666 | What is it? |
| 36666 | What is life worth since I know this leper''s shame? 36666 What is the meaning of this long absence you have planned?" |
| 36666 | What makes your nose so flat, anyhow? |
| 36666 | What on earth can that old scoundrel want with me? 36666 What on earth can they be talking about all this time?" |
| 36666 | What on earth is it all about, I wonder? |
| 36666 | What shall I do? |
| 36666 | What sort of man do you think I am? 36666 What the devil''s the matter with me anyhow?" |
| 36666 | What would I do? |
| 36666 | What''s dangerous about the girl, I''d like to know? |
| 36666 | What''s he doin''dar at dat desk? |
| 36666 | What''s higher? 36666 What''s that roaring?" |
| 36666 | What''s that you''ve written? |
| 36666 | What''s the joke? |
| 36666 | What''s the matter with Andy? |
| 36666 | What''s the matter with Tom? |
| 36666 | What''s the matter with you anyhow, you old fool, are you having fits? |
| 36666 | What''s the matter? |
| 36666 | What''s the matter? |
| 36666 | What''s the meaning of this, sir? |
| 36666 | What''s your mother''s name? |
| 36666 | What''s-- what''s that? |
| 36666 | What, dear? |
| 36666 | What-- what are your real relations? |
| 36666 | What-- what''s happened? |
| 36666 | What-- what-- does this mean? |
| 36666 | When do you think the major will come? |
| 36666 | Where is she? |
| 36666 | Where''ve you been? |
| 36666 | Whiskey? |
| 36666 | Who bin tryin''ter steal you? |
| 36666 | Who dared to write such a letter without your knowledge? |
| 36666 | Who is it? |
| 36666 | Who knows? 36666 Who knows?" |
| 36666 | Who taught you? |
| 36666 | Who was the child''s mother? |
| 36666 | Who''s in command of this crowd? |
| 36666 | Who-- me? |
| 36666 | Who? 36666 Why did you let them send me to school? |
| 36666 | Why do n''t you? |
| 36666 | Why do you ask? |
| 36666 | Why do you hate me? |
| 36666 | Why do you keep staring at me? |
| 36666 | Why do you look so queerly at me? 36666 Why do you use that queer tone? |
| 36666 | Why do you want to do this thing? |
| 36666 | Why do you want to win? |
| 36666 | Why do''oo cry? |
| 36666 | Why have you avoided me to- night? |
| 36666 | Why have you dared? |
| 36666 | Why must you die, my boy? |
| 36666 | Why not take the boy and go? |
| 36666 | Why not? |
| 36666 | Why not? |
| 36666 | Why should he deceive me? |
| 36666 | Why, sir? |
| 36666 | Why, what''s the matter with him? |
| 36666 | Why-- what-- do you-- mean? |
| 36666 | Why-- why did you bring that girl into this house? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Will you go peaceable? |
| 36666 | With a kind face? |
| 36666 | With a veil-- at night-- what have you got that veil for? |
| 36666 | Wo n''t he miss you? |
| 36666 | Wo n''t ye hear me, sah? 36666 Work? |
| 36666 | Would you mind leaving this little gift with me, Peeler? |
| 36666 | Yassah, I fotch him through the country and we rid all night----"What''s the matter?'' 36666 Yassah, Miss Helen, sah, is her name-- she cum''bout er week atter you lef----""And she''s been there ever since?" |
| 36666 | Yassam-- yassam-- but ai n''t yer got nuttin''mo''dan dat ter say ter me? |
| 36666 | Ye hear dat, you fool nigger? 36666 Yes or no?" |
| 36666 | Yes, Dan,she answered simply,"why do you ask?" |
| 36666 | Yes, all men who are worth while----"How can you say that,the daughter cried with scorn,"and remember my father and grandfather? |
| 36666 | Yes, is n''t it? |
| 36666 | Yes----"Stunned? 36666 Yes?" |
| 36666 | Yes? |
| 36666 | Yes? |
| 36666 | Yet there''s something pitiful about it after all, is n''t there, Tom? |
| 36666 | You agree, major? |
| 36666 | You ai n''t gwine ter be hard on''em, major? |
| 36666 | You ain''hear what he bin er doin''wid dat pistol? |
| 36666 | You allowed no one to learn the real reason of your visit, as I told you? |
| 36666 | You are not deceiving me? |
| 36666 | You are not mad at me for anything? |
| 36666 | You are still afraid of me? |
| 36666 | You are trying to leave me without a word? |
| 36666 | You are_ stunned_? |
| 36666 | You ca n''t mean this? |
| 36666 | You did n''t hear that bell? |
| 36666 | You did n''t invite her? |
| 36666 | You do n''t hate me? |
| 36666 | You do n''t mean it-- now? |
| 36666 | You do n''t mean it? |
| 36666 | You do n''t mean it? |
| 36666 | You do n''t want me to go back home with the child, do you? |
| 36666 | You do n''t want to see her? |
| 36666 | You do n''t_ know_? |
| 36666 | You have something to say-- what is it? |
| 36666 | You impudent scoundrel, how dare you speak to me like this? |
| 36666 | You know who wrote it? |
| 36666 | You know-- all? |
| 36666 | You know? |
| 36666 | You left the hall to see her there? |
| 36666 | You like this girl, my dear? |
| 36666 | You lived on his place? |
| 36666 | You love Tom-- he''s worth saving-- you''ll do as I ask and give him up? |
| 36666 | You mean that he knows the truth? 36666 You never can tell what may happen in such a revolution----""It will be a revolution?" |
| 36666 | You realize the fact that a man who marries a nameless girl bars himself from all careers of honor? |
| 36666 | You really love me so? |
| 36666 | You refuse to obey my orders? |
| 36666 | You refuse? |
| 36666 | You see, I''ve played this scene so many times in my day dreams----"And it''s like your dream? |
| 36666 | You sent for me, major? |
| 36666 | You think I can make good? |
| 36666 | You think not? |
| 36666 | You think so? |
| 36666 | You think so? |
| 36666 | You think that''s all? |
| 36666 | You thought the major had you? |
| 36666 | You took pains to leave them alone, I suppose? |
| 36666 | You want me to interview you, Governor? |
| 36666 | You were going to leave me and go alone to the speaker''s stand? |
| 36666 | You will answer them now? |
| 36666 | You will deprive me of my citizenship? |
| 36666 | You wish me to swear it? |
| 36666 | You wo n''t lock the door again? |
| 36666 | You wo n''t? 36666 You''d be happier, you think, with me, dear?" |
| 36666 | You''ll do anything for me? |
| 36666 | You''ll pay no attention to my wishes? |
| 36666 | You''re not mad at me for being there, are you? 36666 You''re not saying this to cheer me? |
| 36666 | You''re sure Cleo did n''t find out? |
| 36666 | You-- you-- don''t love another? |
| 36666 | Your love is pure and unsullied? |
| 36666 | Your relations to my servants? |
| 36666 | Your_ rights_? |
| 36666 | --Norton bent close with pleading eagerness:"And that next sentence, there, you can read it? |
| 36666 | --he drew the arm around that she was holding back--"What is it? |
| 36666 | --he paused and looked at her curiously--"And you love him?" |
| 36666 | --she paused and her voice was trembling when she added--"It makes us all akin, does n''t it?" |
| 36666 | --you-- you-- see why I have been so desperately in earnest?" |
| 36666 | A door opened above and the boy answered:"Well?" |
| 36666 | A small man could, yes-- but you? |
| 36666 | A soldier is a man who obeys orders, draws his pay, and asks no questions----""And then what?" |
| 36666 | A tear slowly stole down Helen''s flushed cheeks as she quietly asked:"Why-- why should you insult and shame me by asking that question?" |
| 36666 | Accept my terms or fight?" |
| 36666 | After all, had it not been inevitable? |
| 36666 | Again Tom paused, watching keenly:"On the day you returned and found Helen here, you quarrelled with Cleo?" |
| 36666 | Ai n''t I done tole you dat hit would all come out right ef I could des say de good word? |
| 36666 | Ai n''t dat all right, sah?" |
| 36666 | Am I to be fired without a chance? |
| 36666 | An hour later he asked abruptly:"You have felt no return of the pain in your throat, dear?" |
| 36666 | And I''ve always known that if the pain returned she''d die----""You knew that before we left home?" |
| 36666 | And again came the deeper question-- can any man ever escape the consequences of his deeds? |
| 36666 | And how''ll a contribution of fifty dollars each strike you? |
| 36666 | And since when is this state under martial law?" |
| 36666 | And so I came to ask-- oh, why-- why''ve you been foolin''with me?" |
| 36666 | And the great fear that gripped your heart at the first mad cry of pain I gave? |
| 36666 | And who am I to set bounds to his power?" |
| 36666 | And you would dare give to a child such a mother? |
| 36666 | Andy approached gingerly, glancing from side to side for the best way of retreat in case of emergency:"What''s the matter with you?" |
| 36666 | Andy disregarded the shot, and prinked himself before the mirror:"Do n''t yer think my complexion''s gettin''little better, sah?" |
| 36666 | Andy gasped, wrenching her arms away at last,"will yer des lemme say one word?" |
| 36666 | Andy generously ignored her tone, bowed and handed her the magnolia:"Would you embellish yousef wid dis little posie, m''am?" |
| 36666 | Andy glanced at him out of the corners of his rolling eyes:"Yer ai n''t gwine laugh at me-- is yer?" |
| 36666 | Andy looked at him in astonishment and asked incredulously:"Who de debbil say you''se er scared of any nigger? |
| 36666 | Andy looked at the tray and then at Norton:"Well, sah, yer ai n''t got no objections to me pizinin''mysef, is ye?" |
| 36666 | Andy''s eyes were two white moons in the shadows as he cried through chattering teeth:"G-- g-- odder mighty-- what-- what''s de matter, major?" |
| 36666 | Anything else?" |
| 36666 | Are you made of stone-- have you no pity? |
| 36666 | As she approached the corner of the settee the boy leaped up with a laugh:"Where have you been?" |
| 36666 | At the mention of her name the fine old face softened and then his eyes flashed:"She is ill?" |
| 36666 | Aunt Minerva?" |
| 36666 | B- b- but fer Gawd''s sake what ye want wid er dead nigger?" |
| 36666 | Between set teeth Norton growled:"And you think that I''ll submit?" |
| 36666 | But an ex- Governor of the state ca n''t rush to meet the present Governor in his shirt- tail-- now, can he?" |
| 36666 | But do you think your life will be safe?" |
| 36666 | But had he? |
| 36666 | But is it necessary? |
| 36666 | But was it worth the risk? |
| 36666 | But why ask me so disgusting a question? |
| 36666 | But why should she be in Baltimore? |
| 36666 | But would she listen? |
| 36666 | But you shall never enter my house again----""Is it fair,"she pleaded,"to take everything from me and turn me out in the world alone? |
| 36666 | But, Lordy, Mister Tom, yer des foolin''wid me-- yer ai n''t got nuttin''''gin yer ole partner, barrin''dem few little things?" |
| 36666 | Ca n''t I go upstairs an''speak de good word ter Mister Tom now an''tell him hit''s all right?" |
| 36666 | Can it serve any good purpose? |
| 36666 | Can we afford it?" |
| 36666 | Can you afford an act of such wanton cruelty in the hour of your triumph? |
| 36666 | Cleo drew back with amazement at the prostrate figure:"What on earth''s the matter?" |
| 36666 | Cleo glanced at him:"You were about to tell me something that you heard in Norfolk?" |
| 36666 | Cleo leaned close:"You''ll die for me?" |
| 36666 | Cleo looked at him in amazement, suppressed an angry exclamation and asked:"What''s that band playing for?" |
| 36666 | Cleo moved a step closer:"The major has won?" |
| 36666 | Cleo moved impatiently and glared at the tray:"What on earth did you bring all that stuff for? |
| 36666 | Cleo paused with a frown:"What''s the matter? |
| 36666 | Cleo quickly entered, turned the key and in earnest tones, her eyes dancing excitedly, asked:"You are really packing your trunk?" |
| 36666 | Cleo spoke with stern appeal:"Well, you''re a man; you''ll know how to defend yourself next time, wo n''t you?" |
| 36666 | Cleo''s voice dropped suddenly to pleading tones:"You''re not going to suggest such an idea to him?" |
| 36666 | Could any man with red blood in his veins fight successfully a force like that? |
| 36666 | Could he do it? |
| 36666 | Could he do this? |
| 36666 | Could it be possible that he heard aright? |
| 36666 | Could she have helped it? |
| 36666 | Could they have dared to ride so early that they had reached the house before his arrival? |
| 36666 | De major try ter kill me-- he''s er regular maniacker-- gone wild----""What about?" |
| 36666 | Did I ever want you? |
| 36666 | Did a pin stick you-- or maybe a flea bit you?" |
| 36666 | Did not such a position of daily intimate physical contact-- morning, noon and night-- mean just this? |
| 36666 | Did old Andy find out I slipped in last week?" |
| 36666 | Did you look at her closely again?" |
| 36666 | Do n''t yer min''de time dat big yaller nigger cum down here from de Norf er castin''circumflexions on our church? |
| 36666 | Do you know what the Governor of North Carolina said once upon a time to the Governor of South Carolina?" |
| 36666 | Do you know what you''re doing?" |
| 36666 | Do you think he''s been really making love to Miss Helen?" |
| 36666 | Do you think it possible?" |
| 36666 | For the first time in his life he asked himself a startling question:"Do I really need him?" |
| 36666 | Forbid? |
| 36666 | Goodness-- haven''t you anything to put the flowers in?" |
| 36666 | Had he made the world sweeter and more beautiful? |
| 36666 | Had he the right to be angry with her? |
| 36666 | Have I broken the law? |
| 36666 | Have n''t I a heart that can ache and break and cry for joy?" |
| 36666 | Have n''t I taken my stand squarely on Nature and her highest law?" |
| 36666 | Have you lost your senses?" |
| 36666 | He ax yer ter see me?" |
| 36666 | He bent low and softly repeated:"You''ll do as I ask now, and give him up?" |
| 36666 | He breathed deeply and then spoke quietly:"You-- you knew they were married?" |
| 36666 | He could hear Andy now as he slipped up to him afterward, grinning and chuckling and whispered:"Lordy, man, why did n''t ye holler? |
| 36666 | He dropped his voice to a careless, friendly tone:"They have seen each other every day?" |
| 36666 | He edged close and dropped his voice to the oiliest whisper:"You''ll say dat good word now to Miss Cleo right away, sah?" |
| 36666 | He ended his recital with the burning question:"Tell me now, doctor, honestly before God, did I kill her?" |
| 36666 | He giggled and asked:"Ye do n''t need no boy fer nothin, do ye?" |
| 36666 | He had just finished his revision of the last paragraph when a deep, laughing voice beside his chair slowly said:"May I come in?" |
| 36666 | He ignored her interruption and went on evenly:"How many times did he come?" |
| 36666 | He lit inter dem po''white trash lak er thousand er brick----""Give''em what Paddy gave the drum, I suppose?" |
| 36666 | He looked at her and turned pale:"It''s bothering you this morning?" |
| 36666 | He looked at her with a great pity in his heart and when at last she spoke her voice was scarcely a whisper:"My father and mother were married?" |
| 36666 | He looked at her, dropped the hat, picked it up and stammered:"W- w- why-- Miss Minerva, is dat you?" |
| 36666 | He returned to her chair and bent over her:"You wo n''t stop to change your dress, you''ll get your hat and coat and go just as you are-- at once?" |
| 36666 | He searched her black face keenly:"Did Tom slip back here to see Miss Helen while I was away on this last trip?" |
| 36666 | He seized her arms:"Why are you so excited? |
| 36666 | He shook his head threateningly when he caught his breath:"Look a here, m''am, is dat de way yer gwine spessify my welcome?" |
| 36666 | He signed and sealed the document and handed it to his waiting guest:"Is that satisfactory?" |
| 36666 | He smiled wanly and tried to assume a purely platonic tone:"Wuz yer ebber in love, Miss Minerva?" |
| 36666 | He spoke without looking up:"You know the road to Schlitz''s house?" |
| 36666 | He sprang to his feet:"Had to keep it-- you say that to me?" |
| 36666 | He stammered, reddened and then turned pale:"Why-- why-- naturally----""If you are innocent-- why not?" |
| 36666 | He threw up his hands with a gesture of disgust and resumed his seat:"What is it?" |
| 36666 | He turned on her angrily:"How dare you?" |
| 36666 | He waited a moment and spoke in quiet determined tones:[ Illustration:"''I_ dare_ you-- do you hear?''"] |
| 36666 | He was just in time as he softly approached behind a trellis of climbing roses to hear Tom say:"Please give me that bud you''re wearing?" |
| 36666 | He wheeled and hurled himself at her:"What?" |
| 36666 | He''s going to live-- isn''t he?" |
| 36666 | Helen does n''t know?" |
| 36666 | Helen drew closer as if for shelter and clung to his hand wistfully:"It does seem a horrible joke, does n''t it? |
| 36666 | Helen faced him with strained eagerness:"You swear that no stain on my father or mother can ever make the least difference between us?" |
| 36666 | Helen laughed:"What?" |
| 36666 | Helen turned with a start:"Even if the man I love should know all?" |
| 36666 | Helen, smiling through her tears, asked:"What are you saying? |
| 36666 | Her voice broke in a sob, she pulled herself together, straightened her figure and cried:"Now what are you going to do? |
| 36666 | Her voice was full of simple, earnest pleading:"De Lordy, major, what''s de use? |
| 36666 | His eyes are n''t blue?" |
| 36666 | His eyes burned into hers:"And you, too, have known this for weeks?" |
| 36666 | His face clouded with a scowl:"She''s here?" |
| 36666 | His voice was the gentlest whisper:"Guess?" |
| 36666 | How can you prevent it?" |
| 36666 | How could she help it now? |
| 36666 | How dare you use such words to me in the presence of the woman I love?" |
| 36666 | How''s that for a Fourth of July celebration? |
| 36666 | I ask it of a veteran of the Confederate army?" |
| 36666 | I could n''t well talk to her before all those guests----""Why not?" |
| 36666 | I felt it this mornin''as I walked through them crowds-- and comin''back to this coffin, major, the question is-- what shall I do to be saved?" |
| 36666 | I git holt er a little secret o''yourn dat gimme courage----""A secret of mine?" |
| 36666 | I haul off an''biff''i m right in the jaw----""And you''re going to ask Cleo to marry you?" |
| 36666 | I have a better plan----""What?" |
| 36666 | I interviewed old Peeler on the revolution in politics and its effects on the poor whites of the state----""You saw her?" |
| 36666 | I must know the truth without reservation-- how far has this thing gone?" |
| 36666 | I must prove to you that Helen_ is_ a negress----"A sudden terror crept into the young eyes:"You-- you have the proofs?" |
| 36666 | I reckon you can guess my secret?" |
| 36666 | I sez ter myself, now folks he''s gwine ter magnify----"Tom laughed:"Magnified, did he?" |
| 36666 | I stan''dar waitin''fer''i m ter git up an''come ergin, an''what ye reckon he done?" |
| 36666 | I want to know exactly what you mean?" |
| 36666 | I''ll des pick up er few odd jobs till you say de word-- you wo n''t fergit me?" |
| 36666 | I''ll go with you to- morrow and verify the records----"Cleo laughed:"You do n''t think I''m joking about her birth?" |
| 36666 | I''m sorry----"She clung to his hand with desperate pleading and pressed close to him:"But you wo n''t send me away?" |
| 36666 | I''se gwine tell yer somfin''now----""Well?" |
| 36666 | I_ dare_ you-- do you hear?" |
| 36666 | If Helen is really your child, why did you give her up so easily that day?" |
| 36666 | If I go an outcast you would go with me?" |
| 36666 | If what you say about Helen is true, in God''s name-- I ask it out of a heart quivering with anguish-- why have n''t you realized it before? |
| 36666 | In half an hour Tom looked into the doctor''s face:"Why, it''s Doctor Williams?" |
| 36666 | In his shirt sleeves he thrust his head out the door:"Who is it?" |
| 36666 | In spite of an effort at self- control, Norton broke into a peal of laughter:"It does look serious, does n''t it?" |
| 36666 | Is any progress that degrades the breed of men progress at all? |
| 36666 | Is his labor worth more than the purity of our racial stock? |
| 36666 | Is it not mere wanton cruelty? |
| 36666 | Is it not retrogression? |
| 36666 | Is n''t there a thing to put the flowers in?" |
| 36666 | It''s a bargain, is n''t it?" |
| 36666 | It''s a nightmare----"Suddenly he asked:"What did she do when you told her?" |
| 36666 | It''s getting dark and nobody saw me----"The editor frowned and moved uneasily"You''re alone, are n''t you?" |
| 36666 | Marriage is impossible-- yes----""And if I only wish for marriage?" |
| 36666 | Minerva fidgeted, hesitated again and finally said:"Once he stay about er hour----""And the other time?" |
| 36666 | Minerva nudged him slyly:"Wuz I?" |
| 36666 | Minerva''s eyes walled in amazement:"No?" |
| 36666 | Minerva, who had been listening and watching with the keenest interest, pressed forward and asked in a whisper:"Yassah, but whar''s you gwine ter be? |
| 36666 | Miss Helen''s young, beautiful, sweet and good-- won''t ye let me plead fer''em, sah?" |
| 36666 | Must I use my foot to emphasize it?" |
| 36666 | Nasah, dey''s sumfin else de matter wid de major----""What?" |
| 36666 | Norton advanced and glared at her:"What?" |
| 36666 | Norton bent close:"How long did he stay?" |
| 36666 | Norton bit his lips to keep back an oath:"How often have they been riding?" |
| 36666 | Norton drew back in amazement:"You mean to tell me that you do n''t know that they are married?" |
| 36666 | Norton fixed him with a stern look:"Has Tom been back here during the past four weeks?" |
| 36666 | Norton laughed and quietly said:"Well, Andy?" |
| 36666 | Norton paused and looked sharply at Tom:"Was-- that-- Helen?" |
| 36666 | Norton quietly recovered himself and replied angrily:"Do I look as if I were dying?" |
| 36666 | Norton recognized the young cabinet- maker''s voice, and spoke in low tense tones:"By whose authority are you using these disguises, to- night?" |
| 36666 | Norton smiled:"Did you look in my big cedar box?" |
| 36666 | Norton smiled:"You wish to see me?" |
| 36666 | Norton turned a puzzled face on the grinning black one:"Advice?" |
| 36666 | Norton turned away and the Governor laid his trembling hand on his arm:"Your decision is absolutely final, Major Norton?" |
| 36666 | Norton was watching closely:"She told you what I had just said to her?" |
| 36666 | Norton watched him with a dazed look and cried suddenly:"Where are you going?" |
| 36666 | Norton''s eyes suddenly grew dim, he leaned on the table, stared at Andy, and repeated blankly:"The young lady I asked to spend the summer with us?" |
| 36666 | Norton''s eyes were again burning into her soul as he asked in a low voice:"Suppose it does?" |
| 36666 | Norton''s figure stiffened and he looked at the man with a flush of anger:"Did you say demand?" |
| 36666 | Norton''s words were hurled at her, each one a solid shot:"Would you have given up that child without a struggle-- if she had really been your own?" |
| 36666 | Now get out of this room-- and stay out of it, do you hear?" |
| 36666 | Now what do you say to that?" |
| 36666 | Now, major, I reckon you''re about the level- headest and the most influential man in the county-- the question is, what shall I do to be saved?" |
| 36666 | Oh, my boy, when you look on these walls at your fathers, do n''t you see this, do n''t you feel this, do n''t you know this?" |
| 36666 | Or seek you? |
| 36666 | Or would the waves of oblivion roll over the prostrate body without a sign? |
| 36666 | Peeler''s?" |
| 36666 | Peeler?" |
| 36666 | Shall we improve the breed of horses and degrade our men? |
| 36666 | Shall we improve the breed of men or degrade it? |
| 36666 | She began speaking with quick nervous energy:"Dr. Williams told you?" |
| 36666 | She entered that hall to- night? |
| 36666 | She felt an instant relief and pulled herself together with a touch of bravado:"And now that you see I am, what are you going to do about it?" |
| 36666 | She gazed at him steadily with a look of undisguised hate:"What is it?" |
| 36666 | She gazed steadily into his eyes and asked with sharp rising emphasis:"Why?" |
| 36666 | She gently disengaged herself, asking:"How did you get away from him so quickly?" |
| 36666 | She has found out----""What-- how-- when?" |
| 36666 | She heard the girl''s swift, excited step on the stairway and rushed to the door:"What is it? |
| 36666 | She held him from her a moment, looked into his eyes and cried:"And you missed me, darling?" |
| 36666 | She held his hand clasped in hers for a moment and slowly said:"I have n''t done anything wrong, have I, major?" |
| 36666 | She lifted her face to his in wonder:"And you will dare to tell your father?" |
| 36666 | She lifted her head pleadingly:"You will let me come to you then?" |
| 36666 | She looked at him timidly:"You wo n''t forget that he is your father, and loves you better than his own life?" |
| 36666 | She nudged him gently:"G''long, man, what is it?" |
| 36666 | She paused and extended her hand pleadingly:"Ca n''t I put in des one little word, sah?" |
| 36666 | She paused and extended her hand pleadingly:"You''ll be easy wid''em, sah?" |
| 36666 | She pressed closer with sudden desperate courage, her voice full of wistful friendliness:"Oh, major, what have I done to offend you? |
| 36666 | She pressed his arm eagerly:"Think-- what would you do?" |
| 36666 | She rapped again:"Please, Miss Helen, may I come in just a minute?" |
| 36666 | She rushed to him and laid her hand appealingly on his arm:"Oh, Tom, dear, am I not your wife?" |
| 36666 | She spoke at last in a half- laughing, incredulous way:"Suppose she died? |
| 36666 | She sprang to her feet clutching at her throat, trembling from head to foot--"What do you mean by looking at me like that?" |
| 36666 | She started with sudden alarm and whispered:"You have n''t got the pistol that you brought home to- day from the campaign, have you?" |
| 36666 | She stopped and stammered:"Why-- why-- wuz yer lookin''fer me, major?" |
| 36666 | She threw Helen a look of resentment:"Why do you draw away from me like that?" |
| 36666 | She tried to draw away but he held her hand firmly:"What is it? |
| 36666 | She turned to Tom:"Why did you lock the door-- what does it mean?" |
| 36666 | She walked quickly into the room, and threw her head up with defiance:"Well?" |
| 36666 | She was on the verge of screaming in his face when he said in low, intense tones:"You did get even with me-- didn''t you?" |
| 36666 | She''s atter me sho, an''ef she gits me in er close place, what I gwine do, sah?" |
| 36666 | Show dat man ter me-- who say dat?" |
| 36666 | Social fictions-- prejudices?" |
| 36666 | Sposen, sah, dat a gemman got ter take his choice twixt marryin''er lady dat''s forcin''herself on''i m, er kill hissef?" |
| 36666 | Surely, I have the right to know"--she turned suddenly to Norton--"You do n''t hate me now, do you, major?" |
| 36666 | That he knows the full history of my birth and the names of my father and mother?" |
| 36666 | The Klan''s the only way to save this country from hell-- what do you mean by jumpin''on it?" |
| 36666 | The answer came slowly:"And you ca n''t guess what''s happened?" |
| 36666 | The boy appealed to his father:"Have n''t we come to a perfect understanding, Dad?" |
| 36666 | The boy laughed again:"And I suppose, of course, he believed all you told him?" |
| 36666 | The boy looked at Andy with a sudden start:"Ah, how could that sweet little girl upset him? |
| 36666 | The boy rose, closed the door, and sat down near his father''s chair:"Well, Dad, why so serious? |
| 36666 | The boy shook his head again and frowned:"You''re a hopeless old sinner----""Who, me, er sinner? |
| 36666 | The boy spoke with sharp eagerness:"Tell me what?" |
| 36666 | The boy suddenly lifted his head:"Why did you bring Helen into this house?" |
| 36666 | The boy turned slightly away and the father watched him keenly and furtively for a moment, and took a step toward him:"You have never been in love?" |
| 36666 | The boy was quiet a moment and looked at the tall figure with a queer expression:"Has she maintained it?" |
| 36666 | The captain stepped forward:"Are you Major Daniel Norton?" |
| 36666 | The dazed man turned slowly and looked at the tray and then at the grinning negro:"What''s this?" |
| 36666 | The doctor was silent for a long while and his eyes wandered to the darkening sky where the stars were coming out one by one:"Who knows but God? |
| 36666 | The editor looked at the clerk steadily for a moment and quietly asked:"What amount of bail do you require?" |
| 36666 | The editor rose, closed the door and resumed his seat:"Well, sir; how can I serve you?" |
| 36666 | The editor smiled:"Really?" |
| 36666 | The election returns ca n''t be in yet?" |
| 36666 | The farmer smiled:"I_ am_ a Scotchman-- ain''t I?" |
| 36666 | The father frowned:"She has been in the habit of making you her confidant?" |
| 36666 | The father''s hand felt blindly for the boy''s and grasped it desperately:"You wo n''t remember a single harsh word that I''ve said?" |
| 36666 | The father''s keen eyes pierced the boy''s:"Why should she run?" |
| 36666 | The father''s long trembling finger traced slowly each word:"''Remember that I love you and have forgiven----''""Forgiven what?" |
| 36666 | The girl drew herself up with a movement of quiet determination and spoke in even tones:"My parents are Southern?" |
| 36666 | The girl looked at him steadily:"Then, you are my real guardian?" |
| 36666 | The girl smiled with a puzzled look:"Suppose it does? |
| 36666 | The lavender hose moved stealthily:"You will advocate this?" |
| 36666 | The little Scalawag paled and his voice was scarcely a whisper:"Why-- why, what do you mean?" |
| 36666 | The old man seized her hand with a cruel grip:"Do you dare tell me that this girl is your daughter?" |
| 36666 | The older man drew closer:"A cheap bluff, eh? |
| 36666 | The one question now was--"what did she mean?" |
| 36666 | The pacing figure paused and eyed his tormentor, lifting his shaggy brows:"Yes?" |
| 36666 | The power you once had is gone-- gone forever-- never to return----""Then why be afraid? |
| 36666 | The question is, can you divide the white race on this issue?" |
| 36666 | The red blood rushed to his head and he blanched with a death- like pallor:"And you have been afraid of Cleo?" |
| 36666 | The thought shaped itself into questions:"Is n''t the price we pay too great? |
| 36666 | The very thought brought a cry of agony to his lips:"God in heaven-- what can I do?" |
| 36666 | The voice softened to persuasive tones:"He has n''t slipped back here even for an hour since I''ve been gone?" |
| 36666 | The whole mob are not coming here, are they?" |
| 36666 | The wife caught the girl by the shoulders and cried:"Who told you this?" |
| 36666 | The woman''s eyes narrowed and her voice purred:"You''re going to stand by me now?" |
| 36666 | The young editor drew his old comrade in arms down into his chair and sat on the table facing him:"And how''s the wife and kids, Mac?" |
| 36666 | The young editor suddenly wheeled in his chair and spoke with quick emphasis:"Mr. Peeler, I believe?" |
| 36666 | There''s a fiercer vengeance to be meted out to your Scalawag Governor----""What do you mean?" |
| 36666 | There''s not a chance that you''ll change your mind?" |
| 36666 | There''s not room for us both in the state----""And you think this laughing child cares anything about the Governor or his dirty politics? |
| 36666 | These editorials in_ The Eagle and Phoenix_ cussin''the Klan----""You do n''t like them?" |
| 36666 | They''re going to kill him, too----""Then there''s time to stop them-- quick-- can you hitch a horse?" |
| 36666 | This is not one of your lies you give for medicine sometimes?" |
| 36666 | To grin and hint the truth to your friends?" |
| 36666 | Tom assumed a judicial attitude, folded his arms and asked:"Well, who''s the other one?--who''s your true love?" |
| 36666 | Tom cried, squaring himself and looking Andy over:"Are n''t you just a little shady?" |
| 36666 | Tom gave a start:"Dad----""Over every mile of that long drive home last night, I was brooding and thinking of you----""Of me?" |
| 36666 | Tom has made love to you?" |
| 36666 | Tom held his ground with dogged coolness:"_ Have_ you told me the truth?" |
| 36666 | Tom ignored his answer:"Has n''t Cleo been blackmailing you?" |
| 36666 | Tom looked at her intently:"You say that you will obey me?" |
| 36666 | Tom sat up in bed rubbing his eyes:"What''s that?" |
| 36666 | Tom took a step and looked up in surprise:"The way-- what way?" |
| 36666 | Tom?" |
| 36666 | Tom?" |
| 36666 | Was he losing his mind? |
| 36666 | We must face each other to- day with souls bare-- why are you her guardian?" |
| 36666 | Well, I found out twenty years ago that beneath the skin of every man sleeps an ape and a tiger-- I fought that battle and won----""And I have lost?" |
| 36666 | Were they not both the victims, in a sense, of the follies of centuries? |
| 36666 | What are we to do without''em, that''s the question?" |
| 36666 | What are you going to do with me? |
| 36666 | What are you going to do with these negroes?" |
| 36666 | What are you going to do? |
| 36666 | What are you talking about?" |
| 36666 | What can I do?" |
| 36666 | What can we do with them? |
| 36666 | What did it mean? |
| 36666 | What do you mean?" |
| 36666 | What does it mean?" |
| 36666 | What has happened?" |
| 36666 | What have you to say?" |
| 36666 | What is it? |
| 36666 | What sort of a man is he?" |
| 36666 | What sort of love do you think I''ve given you? |
| 36666 | What was her active brain and vital personality up to? |
| 36666 | What was her game? |
| 36666 | What was the use? |
| 36666 | What ye got agin me?" |
| 36666 | What''s an accident of birth? |
| 36666 | What''s de lowes''bid now, gemmens, yer gwine ter gimme ter bode''em by de month? |
| 36666 | What''s happened? |
| 36666 | What''s the matter?" |
| 36666 | What''s the matter?" |
| 36666 | What''s the matter?" |
| 36666 | When the laughter had died away Norton asked in good- natured tones:"You say I can depend on you, Andy?" |
| 36666 | When the old man spoke again, his voice trembled with emotion, he stepped close and seized Norton''s arm:"My boy, have you gone mad?" |
| 36666 | Where were they last night-- the loafing, drunken cowards? |
| 36666 | Where-- here?" |
| 36666 | Who dares to say such a thing?" |
| 36666 | Who dares to tell such a lie? |
| 36666 | Who is she? |
| 36666 | Who is this dusky figure of the forest with whom you would cross your blood? |
| 36666 | Who says they are married?" |
| 36666 | Why did n''t she come? |
| 36666 | Why did you do this fiendish thing? |
| 36666 | Why did you, of all men on earth, accept such a position?" |
| 36666 | Why do n''t you give me your hand? |
| 36666 | Why do you look so strangely at each other?" |
| 36666 | Why do you tremble so?" |
| 36666 | Why had he lied and deceived her at all? |
| 36666 | Why had she been so foolish? |
| 36666 | Why have n''t you realized this before? |
| 36666 | Why is it so hard?" |
| 36666 | Why must I bear the sins of my father and mother? |
| 36666 | Why not? |
| 36666 | Why should he dislike her? |
| 36666 | Why teach me to think and feel and know this?" |
| 36666 | Why were you both so pale when I came in?" |
| 36666 | Why, what do you mean?" |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | Why? |
| 36666 | With a cry of anguish, the man turned again on the girl:"Why do you stand there grinning at me? |
| 36666 | With a cry of joy Helen knelt and drew Tom into her arms:"Oh, darling, did you hear it-- oh, my sweetheart, did you hear it?" |
| 36666 | With a cry of surprise and terror, the woman leaped to his side, her voice a whisper:"Married? |
| 36666 | With a cry she staggered back and threw her hand instinctively up as if to ward a blow:"Yes-- yes, you would-- wouldn''t you?" |
| 36666 | With a gleam of hope in her deep blue eyes she rose trembling:"You really mean that? |
| 36666 | With a leap Norton grasped the boy again and shook him madly:"Married already? |
| 36666 | With an effort Tom kept his face straight:"No, I may be just as big a fool some day myself-- who is she?" |
| 36666 | Without turning or moving a muscle he asked:"What do you mean?" |
| 36666 | Wo n''t you accept my humility in this hour in part atonement for my mistakes? |
| 36666 | Wo n''t you tell him for us right away? |
| 36666 | Wo n''t you trust me, boy?" |
| 36666 | Wo n''t you try to remember this?" |
| 36666 | Would he know and understand? |
| 36666 | Would yer be his friend an''help him to win her?" |
| 36666 | Yassah, I done resigned, an''I thought, major, maybe you get a job''bout de office or''bout de house fer er young likely nigger''bout my size?" |
| 36666 | You are quite determined to maintain the policy of your paper on this point?" |
| 36666 | You are sure?" |
| 36666 | You ca n''t suspend the law of gravitation by saying so on a scrap of paper----""You are ready to go?" |
| 36666 | You ca n''t think it a forgery?" |
| 36666 | You could n''t choose your parents, could you? |
| 36666 | You do n''t hate me, do you? |
| 36666 | You got ter puttin''on more airs dan de major----""Ah, who is she?" |
| 36666 | You like to go to funerals, do n''t you?" |
| 36666 | You like to see a fight, do n''t you?" |
| 36666 | You remember that feeling when we were lost sometimes in strange countries hunting together, you and I?" |
| 36666 | You sho ai n''t gwine ter die ter- night?" |
| 36666 | You will, wo n''t you?" |
| 36666 | You would n''t think I''m so strong, would you?" |
| 36666 | You''ll help me, mother?" |
| 36666 | You''ve always loved him as if he were your own----""Well, what of it?" |
| 36666 | You, a strong, innocent man, stunned by a weak contemptible lie like this from the lips of such a girl-- what do you mean?" |
| 36666 | You, who have dinned into my ears from childhood that I should keep myself clean from the touch of such pollution-- why did you take the risk?" |
| 36666 | You-- you forgive me for striking you to- night?" |
| 36666 | Your answer gives me courage"--he paused and his voice quivered with deep intensity--"you really love Tom?" |
| 36666 | Your creed forbids you to receive a negro as a social equal?" |
| 36666 | [ Illustration:"''How dare you?''"] |
| 36666 | and I''ve made my decision"--he paused a moment and then demanded:"How do you know her blood is tainted?" |
| 36666 | and you love me-- you do love me?" |
| 36666 | or is it just a cut in my wages? |
| 36666 | the boy''s head drooped--"must you have a secret from me now?" |
| 36666 | what''s that?" |
