| 29295 | Was the house on fire? |
| 29295 | Well, Geoff? |
| 29295 | Well, do n''t you think it would be a very good thing if we could help him to get out of them? |
| 29295 | Well? |
| 29295 | What could there be so interesting and exciting to say about Geoff''s umbrella? |
| 29295 | What do you mean? 29295 What do you think she should write?" |
| 29295 | What is it, Vicky dear? |
| 29295 | What may those be? |
| 29295 | What was he doing at the top of the kitchen stair? |
| 29295 | What was it? |
| 29295 | What will he be saying next, I wonder? |
| 29295 | What''s that? |
| 29295 | What''s the matter, my lad? |
| 29295 | What''s this a- doing here? 29295 What?" |
| 29295 | What_ will_ he think of the children? 29295 When shall I go, sir?" |
| 29295 | Which railway station? |
| 29295 | Who says you''re going to lose your money? |
| 29295 | Who? 29295 Why do n''t you tell Geoff about them, mamma? |
| 29295 | Why not call me Ned? 29295 Why, do n''t_ you_ like it?" |
| 29295 | Will you have a sup, Jim? |
| 29295 | Will you not come and stay here altogether? |
| 29295 | Will you tell me where I''m to sleep? |
| 29295 | Will you tell me, Geoff,she said,"what has put all this into your head? |
| 29295 | You are not frightened? |
| 29295 | You do n''t speak that way to your mother, I hope? |
| 29295 | You do n''t think he''ll be very severe with poor Geoff? |
| 29295 | You do, do you? |
| 29295 | You have finished, surely, Geoff? |
| 29295 | You''ve been very good to me-- would you mind one thing more? 29295 You''ve brought the milk- cans back, too, I suppose? |
| 29295 | You''ve finished those letters, dear, have n''t you? |
| 29295 | You''ve not had your tea? 29295 And if so, where would he go, what should he do? 29295 And oh, dear uncle, is he very unhappy? |
| 29295 | And you say it''s possible-- that this Farmer Eames may perhaps have a place that I should do for?" |
| 29295 | Are they good housekeepers, eh?" |
| 29295 | Are you sure she put it right?" |
| 29295 | At my age it''s really too absurd that----""What are you talking about, Geoff?" |
| 29295 | At sixteen, or even seventeen, you have still to ask leave, I suppose?" |
| 29295 | But I suppose you''ll be going into the first- class?" |
| 29295 | But now the worst has come----""What is the worst?" |
| 29295 | But what are we to do?" |
| 29295 | But what do your friends say to it, sir? |
| 29295 | But, if you''ll excuse me, I''d best perhaps drop the''sir''?" |
| 29295 | Can it be you yourself? |
| 29295 | Can you believe he has really come, mamma?" |
| 29295 | Can you tell me, sir, maybe, if the omnibus that passes near here takes one to the railway station?" |
| 29295 | Could Geoff not guess? |
| 29295 | Could I tell them-- her-- it''s my sister-- to write to your place, and you to send it to me?" |
| 29295 | Could his friend, the guard, have forgotten to post the letter, after all? |
| 29295 | Did n''t you meet''em?" |
| 29295 | Did she know the new squire? |
| 29295 | Did you notice what small brown hands he has, and such_ very_ bright eyes? |
| 29295 | Did you see him? |
| 29295 | Do you know the new squire? |
| 29295 | Do you think I have n''t the sense to know how to behave when any one''s ill? |
| 29295 | Do''ee know how to drive a bit?" |
| 29295 | Fond of riding, I dare say?" |
| 29295 | Great- Uncle Hoot- Toot? |
| 29295 | Great- uncle, do n''t you think Geoff should have some idea of all this?" |
| 29295 | Had he been treated so"oncommon badly"? |
| 29295 | Had she done wrong? |
| 29295 | Had you started before you got my letters? |
| 29295 | Has he bothered her much lately?" |
| 29295 | Have you anything particular to tell me?" |
| 29295 | Have you seen to Dapple?" |
| 29295 | He is a steady worker, and----""But how about the_ home_ report of him, eh?" |
| 29295 | He''s all right, I suppose?" |
| 29295 | He''s not a bad brother to you, I hope? |
| 29295 | How could I go teasing mamma about anchovy toasts for you when she is so worried?" |
| 29295 | How have you managed hitherto?" |
| 29295 | I know you did n''t_ mean_ ever to vex mamma, and I''m sure you''ll never do it again, when she gets better, will you? |
| 29295 | I think you will agree with me when I say that it is plain to me that Master Geoff should leave home?" |
| 29295 | I wonder how it was I never got the other letters? |
| 29295 | Indeed, are n''t you afraid he may have heard already that you are the new squire there?" |
| 29295 | Is he always so white- like?" |
| 29295 | Is mamma not as much to_ me_ as to you girls? |
| 29295 | Is n''t it dreadfully late-- or-- or early for you to be up?" |
| 29295 | Is n''t it funny that he''s only an adopted uncle, after all?" |
| 29295 | Is n''t it the big station for all parts?" |
| 29295 | Is tea ready, Vic?" |
| 29295 | It is how many weeks since Mr. Norris first wrote that he was uneasy? |
| 29295 | It''ll want emptying-- eh, wife?" |
| 29295 | Mamma, Elsa, Frances, Great- Uncle Hoot- Toot-- where should they be, but in the new squire''s own house? |
| 29295 | Mamma, will you speak to them?" |
| 29295 | Mamma,"she went on,"supposing our great- uncle did come home, would he be dreadfully angry if he found out that we all called him''Hoot- Toot''?" |
| 29295 | Not afraid of roughing it? |
| 29295 | Shall I, Geoff?" |
| 29295 | Should I feed the pigs?" |
| 29295 | Sixteen or seventeen, maybe?" |
| 29295 | The ground''s as hard as iron; and oh, my goodness, is n''t it cold?" |
| 29295 | Then he does notice things sometimes?" |
| 29295 | They''re comforts to you, Alice, my dear, eh?" |
| 29295 | They''ve been tidying up at the house; did you know?" |
| 29295 | Those are your best ones, ai n''t they?" |
| 29295 | Was it where you thought?" |
| 29295 | What did poor Frank make me your trustee for, if it was n''t to manage these things for you?" |
| 29295 | What do these young ladies busy themselves about? |
| 29295 | What else could I be? |
| 29295 | What has she to do with it? |
| 29295 | What is it about?" |
| 29295 | What is it that is too absurd at your age?" |
| 29295 | What is the matter? |
| 29295 | What line is this place on?" |
| 29295 | What should he do if Farmer Eames could not take him on? |
| 29295 | What things are you in want of?" |
| 29295 | What time did you say he had to get up, uncle?" |
| 29295 | What time shall I come to- morrow, Alice?" |
| 29295 | What was the address Geoff gave in his note to Vicky? |
| 29295 | What would Elsa have said had she heard him? |
| 29295 | Whatever''s the matter?" |
| 29295 | When can it have come? |
| 29295 | Where have you come from? |
| 29295 | Where is mamma? |
| 29295 | Where is the farm?" |
| 29295 | Where was he? |
| 29295 | Where were they all? |
| 29295 | Where''s that ill- tempered fellow off to?" |
| 29295 | Whoever heard o''such a thing?" |
| 29295 | Why did n''t you write?" |
| 29295 | Why did you not let us know?" |
| 29295 | Will you ask Great- Uncle Hoot- Toot to forgive me, too? |
| 29295 | Will you tell her that I just_ beg_ her to forgive me? |
| 29295 | Would he be met by a refusal, and told to make his way back to the station? |
| 29295 | Would you like me just to run and tell Elsa and Great- Uncle Hoot- Toot how_ dreadfully_ you''d like to see her just for a minute? |
| 29295 | You always will, wo n''t you, Vicky?" |
| 29295 | You and Victoria ca n''t be quarrelling, surely?" |
| 29295 | You do n''t mind waiting while I have some breakfast, do you? |
| 29295 | You do n''t object, sir? |
| 29295 | You do n''t suppose I stay down there grinding away to please myself, do you?" |
| 29295 | You wo n''t want to give your name maybe? |
| 29295 | You wo n''t whip him, will you? |
| 29295 | You''ll have a glass of beer to begin with?" |
| 29295 | You''ll have to keep a civil tongue in your head, my boy-- eh?" |
| 29295 | _ Are n''t_ you glad? |
| 29295 | _ Could_ Great- Uncle Hoot- Toot be there? |
| 29295 | do you want to spoil all your chances?" |
| 29295 | he replied testily;"what difference does that make? |
| 29295 | now, who''d''a''thought it?" |
| 29295 | said Elsa, looking rather disappointed;"you are not our real uncle, then? |
| 29295 | said Mr. Byrne;"new- fangled notions, eh?" |
| 29295 | said a now well- known voice from the other side of the room;"what''s all that about over there? |
| 6569 | A safeguard against myself, eh? |
| 6569 | And could the mother go and leave her, and she might any time take a turn for the worse, and be took off sudden? |
| 6569 | And even the wish to earn the prize did not spur her on? |
| 6569 | And how''s little Miss Neville, Miss Maggie? |
| 6569 | And why for could n''t you wait till me or Letitia came to put by your letter if you_ was_ in''aste habout it? 6569 And you did not show her my letter?" |
| 6569 | And you will not do that for your poor sister who can not walk? |
| 6569 | But are flocks of geese allowed to wander loose in the streets of Utica, Miss Trevor? |
| 6569 | But does Miss Ashton leave it to Lily''s own choice to say whether she will write compositions or no? |
| 6569 | But what am I to do? 6569 But you think that she will not come?" |
| 6569 | But, Bessie, could you help Lena in her trouble? |
| 6569 | By whom? |
| 6569 | Ca n''t a fellow take a run around the house without anything being the matter with him? |
| 6569 | Can you not read them to me before you go? |
| 6569 | Charlie,he exclaimed,"what are you doing here?" |
| 6569 | Could I see you a moment alone, sir? |
| 6569 | Did you see him writing and writing page after page? 6569 Did you tell Hannah anything about it?" |
| 6569 | Did you, Seabrooke? |
| 6569 | Do n''t you feel sneaky? |
| 6569 | Do n''t you think it is what I ought to do? |
| 6569 | Do you come from Sylvandale? 6569 Do you hear me, Henderson?" |
| 6569 | Do you know her? |
| 6569 | Do you think you would rather not come here? |
| 6569 | Doctor,she said,"would you mind telling me how soon you think Lena will be able to bear a little excitement?" |
| 6569 | For you know, dear Lena,she said,"your father and brother said for charity, did n''t they? |
| 6569 | Hallo, Neville,he said;"what is the matter? |
| 6569 | Have I made a mistake as to my own house and found my way into a private insane asylum? |
| 6569 | Have you lost a letter, Harley? |
| 6569 | Have you sent it home? |
| 6569 | Henderson, are you ill? |
| 6569 | How can I, dear, when I do not know what it is? |
| 6569 | How could I forget them? |
| 6569 | How could I tell her such a thing? 6569 How much would it cost for me to take music lessons?" |
| 6569 | How was that? 6569 I have not seen it,"or,"I have not found it,"was all the response he had to make to the inquiries of,"Have you heard anything of your letter?" |
| 6569 | I say, Neville,he continued,"you know I did not mean to keep the money, do n''t you?" |
| 6569 | I say, Neville,said Raymond Stewart, meeting Percy not half an hour afterward,"are n''t you going to stand treat out of that fortune of yours?" |
| 6569 | I say, Percy,said Raymond Stewart,"you hav''n''t made over that hundred dollars to Flagg, have you? |
| 6569 | I want to tell you, Bessie,she said, falteringly,"but you will not tell any one, will you? |
| 6569 | If Hannah or Letitia come, shall I tell them to put it away? |
| 6569 | Is he the kind of a one-- a banker, I mean,said Hannah,"that would give you a note for gold-- golden guineas?" |
| 6569 | Is n''t he invited? |
| 6569 | It must be so, else why this wild excitement? 6569 It will not lodge in my pocket,"said Seabrooke;"how can you carry such a sum of money in such an insecure place, Neville? |
| 6569 | Lena, dear,said Bessie,"is your brother Russell worse?" |
| 6569 | Lena, is it Percy? |
| 6569 | Maggie and Bessie, you are not just going, are you? |
| 6569 | Maggie and Bessie,she said, with more animation than her little friends had ever seen her show before,"what do you think has happened? |
| 6569 | Mamma,she called,"is it almost time to rise?" |
| 6569 | Master Percy-- none of''em is n''t hill? |
| 6569 | My child,said her father,"what can you possibly want of a hundred dollars? |
| 6569 | Neville,he said to him one day,"have you written to your parents about this matter?" |
| 6569 | Oh, I forgot, how are the feet? 6569 Oh, I say, Bess, you are going to begin your music lessons at Easter, are you not?" |
| 6569 | Oh, did you tell him? 6569 Oh, no, my dear not Utica, no indeed, not Utica-- did you not know? |
| 6569 | Or is it of a private nature? |
| 6569 | Sending what-- the weight? |
| 6569 | So it was your friends and relatives, then, who sent the check for the church to my father, and the Christmas box to my sister? |
| 6569 | Sylvandale,she repeated;"do you know Sylvandale?" |
| 6569 | That was good luck, was n''t it? |
| 6569 | That would take two quarters and a half a quarter to make up a hundred dollars, would it not, papa? |
| 6569 | Then who''s going to be sentinel at evening study? |
| 6569 | Turned stingy all of a sudden, eh? |
| 6569 | Was Lena delirious at any time while she was so very ill? |
| 6569 | Well, I declare, Mary Richards, you ai n''t no great hand to talk, but when you do, you just do it beautiful; now do n''t she, Jennie? 6569 What are you going to do about this?" |
| 6569 | What can I ever do for you? |
| 6569 | What can we do? |
| 6569 | What did I come for? |
| 6569 | What did I do? 6569 What do you all say?" |
| 6569 | What do you mean? 6569 What have you done with it?" |
| 6569 | What is all this, Miss Trevor? |
| 6569 | What is in that little woman''s mind? 6569 What is it, my dear?" |
| 6569 | What is it? 6569 What is the matter, Maggie?" |
| 6569 | What is your sister''s name? 6569 What will you do?" |
| 6569 | What''s all this fuss about putting the letter away, anyway? |
| 6569 | What''s the matter, Lena? |
| 6569 | Where have you been? 6569 Where have you met Lena''s old nurse before? |
| 6569 | Where is Lewis Flagg? |
| 6569 | Where is it, then? |
| 6569 | Who then? 6569 Whom do you accuse?" |
| 6569 | Whose are these? |
| 6569 | Why do you not? |
| 6569 | Why should Uncle Horace worry himself about Hannah''s money? |
| 6569 | Why, that will build a whole new church; will it not, Uncle Horace? |
| 6569 | Why? |
| 6569 | Why? |
| 6569 | Wo n''t you look in your trunk-- carefully-- before you lock it? |
| 6569 | Yes,answered Charlie,"and-- Seabrooke--""Well, what is it?" |
| 6569 | Yes,answered Seabrooke in a stern, cold tone,"did you say you saw some one put it there?" |
| 6569 | You do n''t suppose any one is going to steal it, do you? |
| 6569 | You have n''t lost it? |
| 6569 | You here in this cold draught, Miss Elsie; an''what''ll Hannah say, I wonder? |
| 6569 | You remember the checks papa and Russell sent me? |
| 6569 | You say I took back my money without asking you for it, and hunted it out from your places? |
| 6569 | You''av''n''t''ad hany bad news, Miss Lena? |
| 6569 | You''re a nice fellow to call yourself a gentleman, are''n''t you? |
| 6569 | _ Who_ saw Flagg do this thing? |
| 6569 | --knowing of the secret fund for future expenses, the story having been told to him by his nephews,--"have you gold of which you wish to dispose? |
| 6569 | An''you maybe''ave seen my boy, Master Percy Neville, my boy that I nursed?" |
| 6569 | And now, how could she make up her mind to sacrifice this cherished sum even for the reckless, selfish boy whom she loved? |
| 6569 | And why should she have sent the money unless she had known that Percy was in sore need? |
| 6569 | And you maybe know Dr. Leacraft''s school? |
| 6569 | And, will it be believed? |
| 6569 | Are none of you interested?" |
| 6569 | Are you ready to abide by my terms?" |
| 6569 | Ashton''s?" |
| 6569 | Bless your heart, how are the feet? |
| 6569 | But Lewis suddenly flashed up and answered impudently:"How are we to know that the money was in that letter?" |
| 6569 | But how comes it that you are not at Miss Ashton''s? |
| 6569 | But if they had known what followed after Gracie had been left alone in the room where she had so disgraced herself, how would they have felt then? |
| 6569 | But mamma-- could I not tell mamma?" |
| 6569 | But was it certain that this responsibility lay solely between these two boys? |
| 6569 | But what is this excitement you are speaking of, Maggie?" |
| 6569 | But who is likely to win it,--you wo n''t, of course, whatever your chances may have been in the beginning-- any one of your chums? |
| 6569 | Can it be that our Percy is your young cavalier, Miss Trevor?" |
| 6569 | Did you forget that?" |
| 6569 | Did you know that Bessie had begun to write poetry?" |
| 6569 | Do you comprehend me? |
| 6569 | Do you not agree with me, father?" |
| 6569 | Do you think it is possible, now that Russell is better?" |
| 6569 | Do you think it possible,"an idea occurring to him,"that she is troubled about losing the chance to win this prize?" |
| 6569 | Do you think it would be called charity to do that when the person was in trouble only because he had been-- had done very wrong?" |
| 6569 | Do you wish to hear more of this, dear; or are you tired?" |
| 6569 | Do you, Bessie?" |
| 6569 | Does she think-- yes-- think that the money has not gone? |
| 6569 | For was not her beloved nursling in danger? |
| 6569 | Gladys?" |
| 6569 | Had Percy been guilty of possessing himself of his own property by such unjustifiable means? |
| 6569 | Had Seabrooke lost the money? |
| 6569 | Hal, what was that for? |
| 6569 | Has he, Flagg? |
| 6569 | Have you been troubling yourself, dear, over that secret?" |
| 6569 | Have you some new charity at heart?" |
| 6569 | Havn''t you something you could sell? |
| 6569 | He''ll give it to you; it''s only twenty pounds, Lena, and what is twenty pounds to him? |
| 6569 | How could I?" |
| 6569 | How could you, Percy?" |
| 6569 | How would that do now? |
| 6569 | I say, Percy,"aloud,"why do n''t you put that money into Mr. Merton''s hands till you are going home?" |
| 6569 | I shall lock it up, I can tell you; and what if you tell me not to return it to you till we are breaking up?" |
| 6569 | I suppose it would n''t do, would it, Miss Ashton?" |
| 6569 | Is Lena worse?" |
| 6569 | Is it possible he is your brother?" |
| 6569 | Is n''t he the meanest fellow in the world to be so set upon having the doctor knowing about last night? |
| 6569 | Is n''t it rather shabby after what the doctor said to us? |
| 6569 | It had been started by Raymond Stewart, who had said:"How do we know that some one else has not been meddling with that money? |
| 6569 | It would be quite true, would it not, to say that she had done so well at the first that we all thought it fair for her to have it?" |
| 6569 | Leacraft?" |
| 6569 | Lena seemed to be considering for a moment; then she said, evidently with a great effort,--"Do you think she would come if I wrote and asked her? |
| 6569 | Let me see; where is it? |
| 6569 | Lewis, where is that letter? |
| 6569 | Maggie Bradford or Bessie, or those?" |
| 6569 | Maggie, every night when you say your prayers, do you thank God that Mrs. Neville is not your mother? |
| 6569 | May I know?" |
| 6569 | Might I ask the cause of this more than usually effusive greeting?" |
| 6569 | Not even Maggie?" |
| 6569 | Or was one of their number an actual thief? |
| 6569 | Or-- I do not like very much to ask you, but what can a fellow in such a scrape do?--couldn''t you ask Uncle Horace to let you have it? |
| 6569 | Percy Neville''s money?" |
| 6569 | Shall I read this, Lena; do you care to hear it?" |
| 6569 | Shall I write?" |
| 6569 | She roused to a bewildered half- consciousness of something unusual; what was it, good or ill? |
| 6569 | Should he tell him? |
| 6569 | Then after a moment''s hesitation, she said,"Will you ask her to come, Maggie?" |
| 6569 | Then, turning to the little old lady,"How do you do, Miss Trevor? |
| 6569 | There now, here, child,--why, bless your''eart, Miss Lena, what is it?" |
| 6569 | WHO WINS? |
| 6569 | Was it a letter of importance?" |
| 6569 | Was it possible that there was one among the circle who would do such a thing? |
| 6569 | Was this a trap? |
| 6569 | Was this indeed all the impression made upon Percy by his late peril, all the shame and regret he could feel? |
| 6569 | What ails you?" |
| 6569 | What could it all mean? |
| 6569 | What could they do? |
| 6569 | What do you mean?" |
| 6569 | What do you say, ma''am? |
| 6569 | What had happened before she went to sleep? |
| 6569 | What have you been doing that they are forfeited, for I know papa promised them to you after Easter?" |
| 6569 | What say you?" |
| 6569 | What should she do now? |
| 6569 | What woke you?" |
| 6569 | What''s she so secret habout it for?" |
| 6569 | Who be you goin''to, by your leave?" |
| 6569 | Who could have been aware of her extreme need of it? |
| 6569 | Who could have known, thought Bessie, how very much she wished for this sum of money? |
| 6569 | Who could have sent her that money? |
| 6569 | Who touched your things?" |
| 6569 | Who was it? |
| 6569 | Who was it?" |
| 6569 | Who was it?" |
| 6569 | Who would have believed it of him, weak, miserable coward that he is? |
| 6569 | Who''d have thought Neville was such a Miss Nancy, such a coward? |
| 6569 | Why did I come back to it, back, yes, back?" |
| 6569 | Why did you not come before? |
| 6569 | Why not make a clean breast of it, Percy, and have it over? |
| 6569 | Why not make use of the very way in which this well timed gift had come to her and send it to Lena anonymously? |
| 6569 | Why should she have sent them to Percy? |
| 6569 | Why?" |
| 6569 | Will you come into the junior recitation- room?" |
| 6569 | Would Lena feel like having Gracie come here? |
| 6569 | You hardly, I suppose, can obtain such a sum of money except by application to them; or have you some other friend who will help you?" |
| 6569 | [ Illustration:"HAVE I FOUND MY WAY INTO A PRIVATE INSANE ASYLUM?"] |
| 6569 | _ Must_ you tell your mother everything-- things that are not secrets of your own?" |
| 6569 | and who was to read the answer to the riddle? |
| 6569 | he ejaculated between his set teeth, and with his eyes actually blazing,"you stole this, did you?" |
| 6569 | our pattern Bess has never been doing anything wrong, has she? |
| 6569 | said Seabrooke to himself; then replied aloud,"Why, because you wish to pay a just debt?" |
| 6569 | scanning her curiously,"did something frighten you?" |
| 6569 | she asked, coming to her sister''s side;"is your throat sore? |
| 6569 | what is this?" |
| 6569 | what''s the matter? |
| 41581 | ''Idleness?'' 41581 ''Queer?''" |
| 41581 | ''Shocked?'' |
| 41581 | ''Stroke of fortune?'' |
| 41581 | ''You may know that you are marked, but how will the world-- how will other women know that you are mine?'' 41581 ... Ca n''t you just imagine now that he was afraid of what people might say-- or do?" |
| 41581 | A Kentuckian? |
| 41581 | A Kentuckian? |
| 41581 | A cabin in the Cornish hills-- don''t you know? |
| 41581 | A collier? |
| 41581 | A long while ago? |
| 41581 | A minute? |
| 41581 | A railroad hotel? |
| 41581 | A schoolhouse? |
| 41581 | A sort of feeling that they''d enjoy being buried on their native soil? |
| 41581 | A what? |
| 41581 | A woman? |
| 41581 | Adopt an ancestor? |
| 41581 | Against Oldburgh''s unwelcoming doors? 41581 Ah-- but-- I''m sorry--""What on earth are you doing there?" |
| 41581 | All of it? |
| 41581 | Am I early? |
| 41581 | Americans? |
| 41581 | Americans? |
| 41581 | And Guilford Blake standing by, waiting like a gentleman for this fever of emancipation to pass by and desquamation to take place? |
| 41581 | And I''ll defer my visit until later? |
| 41581 | And Loomis will have to get along without you? |
| 41581 | And a walk through the gardens, I believe Mrs.--Mrs. Walker said? |
| 41581 | And do you think that the wearing of this heavy pin will prove so exhausting that I''ll have to stay at Mrs. Walker''s to- day for a bite of food? |
| 41581 | And he wo n''t tell? |
| 41581 | And how much does the world know? |
| 41581 | And it makes us both feel-- a little uncomfortable, eh? |
| 41581 | And it never occurred to you to turn on the light? |
| 41581 | And miss this chance-- for all the things you want most? 41581 And put off the prospect of our marriage?" |
| 41581 | And she longed for the days to pass silently? |
| 41581 | And that is----? |
| 41581 | And that our historic rosewood furniture was sold, years ago, to Mrs. Hartwell Gill, the grocer''s wife who used the chair- legs as battering- rams? |
| 41581 | And the men-- over their wine? |
| 41581 | And the shut- up dilapidation would not make pleasant sight- seeing for rich Americans? |
| 41581 | And there will be other talks? |
| 41581 | And they are, first--? |
| 41581 | And this is-- good- by? |
| 41581 | And to miss it? 41581 And we are going to look over them together-- you and I are going to read these love- letters-- before we burn them?" |
| 41581 | And what are-- those? |
| 41581 | And what did I do when you told me this terrible thing? 41581 And you acknowledge this, too?" |
| 41581 | And you do not mind the loneliness of the trip you''re taking? |
| 41581 | And you met him for the first time-- let me see? 41581 And you''re writing it up?" |
| 41581 | And your father was-- Lord Erskine? |
| 41581 | And your mother moping and pining for the things she ought to have? |
| 41581 | And yours? 41581 And, Jim,_ do_ you know how much I love you? |
| 41581 | And-- and do you mean to tell me that this is the station for Colmere Abbey? |
| 41581 | And-- occasionally--_you''ll_ be coming back to Oldburgh to see that the gardens grow silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row? |
| 41581 | And-- rejected? |
| 41581 | And-- what would your Aunt Patricia say? |
| 41581 | Are n''t you going to dance-- with some one? |
| 41581 | Are n''t your nerves a little on edge just now, Grace, from the scene this morning? |
| 41581 | Are you going to dress for the fête-- before you go to the office? |
| 41581 | Are you going to let all the world see that you''re not a headstrong woman? |
| 41581 | Are you sure it was the same place? |
| 41581 | Are you sure? |
| 41581 | Bannerley? |
| 41581 | Bannerley? |
| 41581 | Bigger and better than ever? |
| 41581 | But did you get it as a prize? |
| 41581 | But has it got to be threshed out to- night? |
| 41581 | But how could this letter affect all this? |
| 41581 | But how----? |
| 41581 | But that would be rather a pity, would n''t it? |
| 41581 | But the traction company''s no kin to us, is it? |
| 41581 | But what has he done? |
| 41581 | But what have I done? |
| 41581 | But what shall I tramp in? |
| 41581 | But what things? |
| 41581 | But why should they-- just because they''re women? |
| 41581 | But why should your parents disapprove of_ him_? |
| 41581 | But why? |
| 41581 | But why? |
| 41581 | But you did n''t expect me to board a trolley- car and run you down after night in your own den-- surely? |
| 41581 | But you meant in what way, for instance? |
| 41581 | But you''re not a newspaper woman now, are you? |
| 41581 | But you--_you_ do n''t know which I''ve done, eh? |
| 41581 | But, after all, what else was there to do? |
| 41581 | But, before we get away from the subject-- what of the Webb family? |
| 41581 | But, honest Injun, aunty, if a person''s got to carry around a heritage, why are n''t you allowed to choose which one you prefer? |
| 41581 | But, how does it happen--? |
| 41581 | But, if you are going away!--You''ll come and say good- by? |
| 41581 | But, since you must be freakish, why not call her Prudence, or Patience-- to keep Oldburgh from wagging its tongue in two? |
| 41581 | But-- aren''t you going to wear it yourself? |
| 41581 | But-- weren''t you going to be busy out here this evening? |
| 41581 | But-- what are you? |
| 41581 | By keeping my hands busy, eh? |
| 41581 | Ca n''t you see when a poem is about to die a- borning? |
| 41581 | Can_ you_ think of anything else? |
| 41581 | Cases? |
| 41581 | Collins, can you follow this line? 41581 Colmere, in Lancashire?" |
| 41581 | Come some day--"To- morrow? |
| 41581 | Consent? |
| 41581 | Could it belong to an American? |
| 41581 | Decide? |
| 41581 | Decided what? |
| 41581 | Did n''t you and mother_ know_ that? |
| 41581 | Did n''t you know we was in mourning? |
| 41581 | Did she say that in her letters? |
| 41581 | Did you chance to know that I would take a bad train and be delayed here this morning at sunrise? |
| 41581 | Did you know that I should be compelled to waste precious morning hours pacing up and down a railway station platform? |
| 41581 | Did you say the_ Herald_? |
| 41581 | Did you think there would n''t be any children? 41581 Do n''t you like that?" |
| 41581 | Do n''t you see we''re up against it? 41581 Do n''t you suppose I know that?" |
| 41581 | Do n''t you_ see_ my exquisite lace collar-- and the pink satin rose in my chapeau-- and this silken and buskskin footgear? 41581 Do you call this-- mess anything special?" |
| 41581 | Do you care for him-- for this sort of thing? |
| 41581 | Do you know all the legends of the place? |
| 41581 | Do you know what this thing was that Pope Gregory did? |
| 41581 | Do you really think so? |
| 41581 | Do you suppose she has some of his letters locked away somewhere? |
| 41581 | Do you think for a moment that you look like an artist? 41581 Do you-- does it happen that you have ever heard of Colmere Abbey?" |
| 41581 | Does this mean that you''ve broken off with Guilford Blake? |
| 41581 | Does your head ache? |
| 41581 | Down on your knees searching for a key-- and it never occurred to you to turn on the light? |
| 41581 | Each hour a pearl-- each pearl a prayer--"Which table do you prefer? |
| 41581 | Five thousand dollars? 41581 Forgive me?" |
| 41581 | Good- by? |
| 41581 | Got anything-- special? |
| 41581 | Grace, will you marry me? |
| 41581 | Grace, you do n''t feel ill-- nor anything-- do you? |
| 41581 | Grace,she whispered,"move out a bit, will you, and let me crowd a man in over there--""In here?" |
| 41581 | Has n''t some one said that the upper part of my face is as lofty as a Byronic thought-- and the lower as devilish as a Byronic_ deed_? |
| 41581 | Hate your ancestors? |
| 41581 | Hate your ordinary work this afternoon? |
| 41581 | Have n''t you just caught me in the act of coming back in Mr. Tait''s car? |
| 41581 | Have you got it? |
| 41581 | Have you met him? |
| 41581 | Have you met him? |
| 41581 | Have you met him? |
| 41581 | Here in Oldburgh? |
| 41581 | Here? |
| 41581 | His name is John McAdoo Carpenter-- and he lives at South Bend, Indiana-- did you ever hear of the place? 41581 How came it here?" |
| 41581 | How can she-- a woman in love-- endure all this beauty? |
| 41581 | How can so much be contained in one little envelope? |
| 41581 | How could I meet a stray French nobleman? 41581 How long have you been in America?" |
| 41581 | How_ could_ he die? |
| 41581 | Huh? |
| 41581 | I did n''t understand the name of the state? |
| 41581 | I have come here for my first Sunday, you see, but----"But you have n''t been to the abbey yet, have you? |
| 41581 | I hear the violins beginning to groan-- and say--_haven''t_ they got everybody worth having here to- night? |
| 41581 | I mean, do you know anything of it in this century-- whether it''s still standing or not-- or anything at all save what your imagination pictures? |
| 41581 | I say-- how long is this convocation supposed to last? |
| 41581 | I shall wire his lawyers immediately and----"And ask for the pleasure of putting him up while he''s in the country? |
| 41581 | If I give you one foolish example of this will it bore you? 41581 If I may inquire, what do you know about this place-- this Colmere Abbey?" |
| 41581 | If you are not in love with your fiancé-- never have been in love with him-- why do you maintain the relationship? |
| 41581 | Indeed? |
| 41581 | Indeed? |
| 41581 | Is everybody crazy to- night? |
| 41581 | Is it three or four of our reporters you''ve thrown down your front steps? |
| 41581 | Is n''t Guilford going with you? |
| 41581 | Is n''t she young? |
| 41581 | Is the girl named Grace or Disgrace? |
| 41581 | Is there no one living who might take an interest in the story of Lady Frances? |
| 41581 | Is this the entrance to Colmere Abbey? |
| 41581 | Is this_ your_ car? |
| 41581 | Is-- is this James Christie? |
| 41581 | It appears that all the smoke in Pittsburgh is curling up into question marks to find out when he''s coming back--"He''s so important? |
| 41581 | It seems like the irony of fate, does n''t it? |
| 41581 | It''s a royal scarab, is n''t it? |
| 41581 | It''s not so very difficult to get to Bannerley, is it? |
| 41581 | James Christie-- Grace Christie? |
| 41581 | Lancashire? |
| 41581 | Late romance? |
| 41581 | Like-- just an American woman-- a tormenting side- issue in your busy life? |
| 41581 | Liverpool? |
| 41581 | Lord Erskine? |
| 41581 | Maitland Tait? 41581 May n''t I take you back to town in my car?" |
| 41581 | Mrs. Montgomery knows everything-- except that we are going to be married-- when did you say, to- morrow? |
| 41581 | My brown tweed skirt? |
| 41581 | My engagement? 41581 My foolishness?" |
| 41581 | My_ Lord_? |
| 41581 | News? |
| 41581 | Next I want to know when you will let me come to see you? |
| 41581 | Next? |
| 41581 | No? 41581 No? |
| 41581 | No? 41581 No?" |
| 41581 | No? |
| 41581 | Not even a little way? |
| 41581 | Now, what is it I must do? |
| 41581 | Of course he was born in a cabin? |
| 41581 | Of course the Macdermott Realty Company did the stunt? |
| 41581 | Of course you''re engaged for the first dance? |
| 41581 | Oh, I believe I did hear''em say--"What? |
| 41581 | Oh, and this fellow, Tait, is going to see to it that they''re educated, eh? 41581 Oh, did she?" |
| 41581 | Oh, do you remember that first day-- that wonderful, anguished, bewildering first day-- then that night when I kissed you? 41581 Oh, indeed? |
| 41581 | Oh, so bad as that? |
| 41581 | Oh, you do n''t? |
| 41581 | Oh, you feel like saying it yourself, eh? |
| 41581 | Oh,--you did n''t want to come? |
| 41581 | Oh-- so you''re not an ancestor- worshiper? |
| 41581 | On approval? 41581 One might spend the time talking about''Americans-- don''t you know?''" |
| 41581 | Plans? |
| 41581 | Puzzled because I work for the_ Herald_? |
| 41581 | Questions? |
| 41581 | Really? |
| 41581 | Recognize it? 41581 Rub it in on you?" |
| 41581 | Rye, lie, die, sky,--why, what''s the matter with your think tank? |
| 41581 | Shall I call mother, or-- some one? |
| 41581 | Shall I go over and try to beg or bribe permission for you? 41581 Shall I stop the car and let you dabble the toe of your shoe in the water?" |
| 41581 | Shall I tell you? |
| 41581 | Shall we go on to the gardens, then? |
| 41581 | Shall we try to find a way through here into the gardens? |
| 41581 | Shall you write to the new Lord Erskine from London, Herbert? |
| 41581 | She did n''t tell you the latest touch of romance in connection with those letters, did she? |
| 41581 | She wanted--_this_? |
| 41581 | She was to have sailed Saturday week? |
| 41581 | Should n''t you think now-- if you did n''t know the difference--_shouldn''t_ you think now that a''South_ Bender''_ was a species of acrobat? |
| 41581 | Since we''re going to get no tea here, ca n''t we drive by some place up- town? 41581 So the something else is the same sort of something, after all?" |
| 41581 | So you thought I was talking to_ you_? |
| 41581 | Soon? |
| 41581 | Surely you do n''t mean to tell me that it''s your own home? |
| 41581 | Surprised? 41581 That ring is likely an heirloom?" |
| 41581 | That-- that it was a business proposition? |
| 41581 | The artist? |
| 41581 | The fellow? |
| 41581 | The key? |
| 41581 | The story of the Coburn- Colt that was n''t hatched? |
| 41581 | Then I dare say you''re interested in this occasion? |
| 41581 | Then I''m to see you Friday night? |
| 41581 | Then it''s still there-- my house of dreams? |
| 41581 | Then shall I tell you? 41581 Then why did n''t you meet me?" |
| 41581 | Then why----"Did n''t I tell you? |
| 41581 | Then you do n''t deny it? |
| 41581 | Then you have decided finally? |
| 41581 | Then you recognize it? |
| 41581 | Then, how would you like to change off a little? |
| 41581 | Then, if you should go to England, how would you set about finding out? |
| 41581 | Then, what is it? |
| 41581 | Then,he asked kindly,"if you''re going to a very great affair this afternoon, why do n''t you keep these flowers and wear them yourself?" |
| 41581 | Then-- then do you mean to say that you''re not going to Mrs. Walker''s to- day? |
| 41581 | Then-- they do n''t know whether he''s a human being or a Cockney? |
| 41581 | Then-- what else? |
| 41581 | Then-- what is it? |
| 41581 | They?--Who, my dear? 41581 This is queer, is n''t it?" |
| 41581 | This quietude-- this sense of all rightness-- makes you feel that nothing really matters, does n''t it? |
| 41581 | To go abroad this summer for the_ Herald_? |
| 41581 | To men? |
| 41581 | Victims? 41581 Visions?" |
| 41581 | Walk? |
| 41581 | Was it-- enjoyable? |
| 41581 | Was you wanting something, miss? |
| 41581 | Was you wanting to get to the village-- or the hall? |
| 41581 | We have so many things in common-- there is, of course, a peculiar congeniality--"Congeniality? |
| 41581 | We must n''t forget to mention each individual member of the firm.--And then--? |
| 41581 | Well, Grace-- how about the illegitimate use of weapons? |
| 41581 | Well, Grace? |
| 41581 | Well, if you call a minister a divine, why should n''t you call a gambler an infernal? |
| 41581 | Well, miss, does n''t that make you all the more ashamed of your foolishness? |
| 41581 | Well, what next? |
| 41581 | Well, who knows? |
| 41581 | Well? |
| 41581 | Well? |
| 41581 | Well? |
| 41581 | Well? |
| 41581 | Well? |
| 41581 | Well? |
| 41581 | What can I walk out the Waverley Pike in? |
| 41581 | What can he have said? |
| 41581 | What do I care about success, if it''s the sort of thing connected with typewriters, offices, copy paper and a pot of paste? 41581 What do you know about that?" |
| 41581 | What do you mean? |
| 41581 | What do you mean? |
| 41581 | What do you mean? |
| 41581 | What do you mean? |
| 41581 | What does he-- what does that silly_ Salem_ conscience of yours say against the publication of the letters? |
| 41581 | What else could it be? |
| 41581 | What else? |
| 41581 | What for? |
| 41581 | What if he should be suddenly called back to Pittsburgh and I should n''t see him again? |
| 41581 | What is it? 41581 What is the song?" |
| 41581 | What matters where good- by is said-- if we can do nothing but say it? |
| 41581 | What things? |
| 41581 | What was it he did? |
| 41581 | What would James Christie say? 41581 What''s going on in your conscience now?" |
| 41581 | What''s his name? |
| 41581 | What''s the matter, honey? |
| 41581 | What''s up? |
| 41581 | What''s up? |
| 41581 | What''s wrong with you? |
| 41581 | What''s''desquamation?'' |
| 41581 | What? 41581 What?" |
| 41581 | What? |
| 41581 | What? |
| 41581 | What? |
| 41581 | What_ is_ that burning? |
| 41581 | When? |
| 41581 | Where have they put you in the dining- room, my dear? |
| 41581 | Where the iron would be nearer? |
| 41581 | Where you live? |
| 41581 | Which is-- the longest way to town? |
| 41581 | Which one? |
| 41581 | Which_ is_ rosemary, and which is rue? |
| 41581 | While we was in mourning? |
| 41581 | Who would ever have thought that_ that_ girl would be singing_ that_ song to_ that_ man? |
| 41581 | Who''s the foreigner? |
| 41581 | Why burn them, now, darling? 41581 Why burn them-- now?" |
| 41581 | Why ca n''t you adopt an ancestor, as you can a child? |
| 41581 | Why do n''t you get your other work off, then come back home and dress? |
| 41581 | Why should I ask that-- when I happen to know? |
| 41581 | Why should I attempt to deny it? |
| 41581 | Why should I stay? |
| 41581 | Why should n''t they sew? |
| 41581 | Why? |
| 41581 | Why_ did n''t_ your mother come? |
| 41581 | Will he meet you at the office? |
| 41581 | Will you be so good as to let me know what it is? |
| 41581 | Will you please explain how you knew all this? |
| 41581 | Will you please tell me just what you mean, Grace? |
| 41581 | Will you, first of all, tell me what this means? |
| 41581 | Without knowing anything more about me than you know now? |
| 41581 | Wonder what''Julien J. Dutweiler''would call a small fortune? |
| 41581 | Yes, Herbert? |
| 41581 | Yes, but how did you know? |
| 41581 | Yes, miss-- if you please? |
| 41581 | Yes-- even if it''s a cottage it will certainly be a model one-- and what more could one desire? |
| 41581 | Yes? |
| 41581 | Yes? |
| 41581 | Yet, after all, what are you going to do with the letters? 41581 Yet, you are willing to marry me?" |
| 41581 | You are a Daughter of the Revolution, I presume? |
| 41581 | You are determined? |
| 41581 | You did n''t fall off the street- car-- did you? |
| 41581 | You do n''t feel sick-- do you? |
| 41581 | You do n''t know what the Consolidated Traction Company is, I suppose? |
| 41581 | You do n''t mean to say that you have scruples--_scruples_--Grace Christie? |
| 41581 | You do n''t think I''m a Turk-- do you? |
| 41581 | You do? 41581 You have n''t happened to any sort of trouble-- have you?" |
| 41581 | You know-- what? |
| 41581 | You mean good night, do n''t you? |
| 41581 | You mean make a society column report of it? |
| 41581 | You mean she''d better be playing with fire while he''s calling? |
| 41581 | You mean that you have washed your hands of me? |
| 41581 | You stood quite still beside the easel for a breathless moment, then:''Do_ I_--keep_ you_--from working?'' |
| 41581 | You were at Mrs. Walker''s Flag Day reception yesterday Grace tells me? |
| 41581 | You''ll excuse me a moment? |
| 41581 | You''re American-- of course? |
| 41581 | You''re alone? |
| 41581 | You''re not shocked at my mention of colts and-- and things, are you, Guilford? |
| 41581 | You''ve been talking with mother? |
| 41581 | Your business with the Macdermott Realty Company? |
| 41581 | _ Am_ I sorry that I sent you away? 41581 _ Caro Mio Ben!_""A love song?" |
| 41581 | _ Decide?_"Decide? |
| 41581 | _ Decide?_"Decide? |
| 41581 | _ Him?_I asked in surprise. |
| 41581 | _ Just_ wives? 41581 _ Portrait of the Artist, by Himself._""Was it a comfort to her, I wonder?" |
| 41581 | _ Which one_, Grace? |
| 41581 | An ancestor- worshiper? |
| 41581 | And your emotions while doing all this? |
| 41581 | Are they in you to stay?" |
| 41581 | Are you interested?" |
| 41581 | But after you get this report?" |
| 41581 | But his hands? |
| 41581 | But one can get to the park through this gate?" |
| 41581 | But why not?" |
| 41581 | But why not?" |
| 41581 | But why, please?" |
| 41581 | But-- these Loomis plans?" |
| 41581 | CHAPTER VII STRAWS POINT"And are you going to write up the whole thing?" |
| 41581 | CHAPTER VIII LONGEST WAY HOME"You had n''t forgotten?" |
| 41581 | Can I hold out-- just a little while longer? |
| 41581 | Did you ever hear of him?" |
| 41581 | Do n''t you suppose I know that?" |
| 41581 | Do n''t you think it''s a pity I could n''t have had a little say- so in that business?" |
| 41581 | Do you know about him?" |
| 41581 | Do you like it?" |
| 41581 | Do you suppose it is a happy omen, Jim? |
| 41581 | Do you wonder that I love it? |
| 41581 | Does this thought ever come to madden you? |
| 41581 | Half- civilized you? |
| 41581 | Have I said before that he was a middle- aged man, named Hudson, and had scant red hair? |
| 41581 | Have you met him?" |
| 41581 | How could there be a House that was a Home without them?" |
| 41581 | How does it feel to be the biggest thing on the_ Herald_--for a day?" |
| 41581 | How far is it?" |
| 41581 | I am sure my voice was as sad with disappointment as old Joe Jefferson''s used to be when he''d plead:"Does_ no one_ know Rip Van Winkle?" |
| 41581 | I beg pardon?" |
| 41581 | I hope you do not mind my saying this? |
| 41581 | I love acres so much better than neighbors-- don''t you?" |
| 41581 | I observed, then, to change the subject, I asked:"Have you been here long?" |
| 41581 | I said, wickedly and without shame,''Would you go away and leave me all alone in idleness?'' |
| 41581 | I think we drove out this way the day the car came?" |
| 41581 | I wonder if_ he_ knows it? |
| 41581 | I wonder? |
| 41581 | If you do n''t publish them now how are you going to be sure that some other-- some future possessor will not?" |
| 41581 | Is n''t it queer that we have this feeling of superiority over the people in old portraits-- just because they are dead and we are living? |
| 41581 | Is n''t it strange how we can not help regarding automobiles as_ creatures_? |
| 41581 | It was Caro Mio Ben!_"Well?" |
| 41581 | It''s all the dreams of April mornings-- and Christmas nights-- and----""And what?" |
| 41581 | It''s something congenial-- or prenatal-- who knows? |
| 41581 | Now, do you know what happens when a woman receives such a letter as this-- a letter that starts seismic disturbances? |
| 41581 | Or if he ever thinks of me at all?" |
| 41581 | Or is that a disadvantage? |
| 41581 | She wanted a_ living_ face----""She wanted-- this?" |
| 41581 | Since when, please?" |
| 41581 | Smith?'' |
| 41581 | Tait?" |
| 41581 | Tell me, have you been there? |
| 41581 | That boy went in this direction, did n''t he?" |
| 41581 | That our hearts have only so many times to throb in this life-- and when we are apart every pulsation is wasted?" |
| 41581 | That was quite simple, was n''t it?" |
| 41581 | The first thing we say in greeting, if we meet a neighbor on the road is:''What''s the latest news from Lord Erskine?''" |
| 41581 | The hardest task that your hands perform is over the ugly features of a fat duchess!--How can you, Jim? |
| 41581 | The very things you''re toiling day and night to get?" |
| 41581 | Then suddenly I demanded:"But what else did Mrs. Walker tell you? |
| 41581 | They''re going to have advantages that he did n''t have-- and all that sort of thing? |
| 41581 | This job you roped in last night was more than we''d given you credit for, and-- so-- well, ca n''t you speak?" |
| 41581 | Was it possible that I had been excited yesterday to the point of leaving the mucilage bottle unstopped? |
| 41581 | What Englishman would buy the place-- with its haunting tales-- and monstrous value? |
| 41581 | What could you possibly know about that?" |
| 41581 | What day was it?" |
| 41581 | What do two old Kilkenny cats of ancestors know about my problems?" |
| 41581 | What else can so entirely satisfy-- and when will you send it to me?" |
| 41581 | What else?" |
| 41581 | What will you be like to me?" |
| 41581 | What would Lady Frances Webb say?" |
| 41581 | What''s the matter?" |
| 41581 | Why Herbert-- isn''t this interesting?" |
| 41581 | Why do n''t you come away? |
| 41581 | Why not-- hand-- them-- down?" |
| 41581 | Why should you, pray, when my financial affairs have changed so in the last year?" |
| 41581 | Why, what else is Lancashire noted for in America, pray?" |
| 41581 | Yet, who can say that the hastiest actions do not often bring about the best results? |
| 41581 | You believe in a"dual personality"? |
| 41581 | You remember the first thing I told you was that I loved Americans?" |
| 41581 | You will be there?" |
| 41581 | [ Illustration:"This must be the office"]"Are you so surprised-- then?" |
| 41581 | [ Illustration:"Well, ca n''t you speak?"] |
| 41581 | _ Do_ I love the more? |
| 41581 | _"Sure!_ Say, if you know that much about the company''s affairs, why do n''t you try for this assignment yourself?" |
