17624 | To another question--"which of Shakspeare''s plays pleased him most?" |
17624 | What might not the pencils of Turner and Calcott here accomplish, during the mellow lights and golden tints of autumn? |
17624 | What might this be? |
17624 | What shall we say? |
17624 | Why should not the book have been printed in Bohemia? |
17624 | Will you allow me to propose a fair good copy of that admirable performance, in exchange for your Statius?" |
17624 | Will you believe it-- I have not visited, nor shall I have an opportunity of visiting, the_ Interior_? |
17624 | Would you believe it? |

17624 | said the guide-- pointing to the coping of the parapet wall, where the stone is a little rubbed,"I do"--(replied I)"What may this mean?" |

16224 | Vois- tu comme ces fleurs languissent tristement? |
16224 | Vous n''avez rien comme ca chez vous? |
16224 | What are you about, there? |
16224 | What is that irregular rude mound, or wall of earth, in the centre of which children are playing? |
16224 | What is that? |
16224 | What might this mean? |
16224 | What( says M. Licquet) will quickly be the result, with us, of such indiscretions as those of which M. Dibdin is guilty? 16224 What-- you confess here pretty much?" |
16224 | Yes,( resumed I) tell me what you are about there? |
16224 | You are from London, then, Sir? |
16224 | You were yesterday evening at Monsieur Pluquet''s, purchasing books? |
16224 | Your daughter Sir, is not married? |
16224 | Your name, Sir, is D----? |
16224 | ( say you:)"not_ one_ single specimen from the library of your favourite DIANE DE POICTIERS? |
16224 | --"Comment ça?" |
16224 | 1690,( 1679?) |
16224 | And if you take river scenery into the account, what is the_ Seine_, in the neighbourhood of Paris, compared with the_ Thames_ in that of London? |
16224 | At length, turning a corner, a group of country people appeared--"Est- ce ici la route de Tancarville?" |
16224 | Before dawn of day I heard incessant juvenile voices beneath the window of my bedroom at the Grand Turc; What might this mean? |
16224 | But do you know no one...?" |
16224 | But tell me, Sir, how can I obtain a sight of the CHAPTER LIBRARY, and of the famous TAPESTRY?" |
16224 | But the sun was beginning to cast his shadows broader and broader, and where was the residence of Monsieur and Madame S----? |
16224 | But, would you believe it? |
16224 | Can this be possible?" |
16224 | Can you possibly advise and assist me upon the subject?" |
16224 | Chalon?) |
16224 | Coutances?) |
16224 | Dare I venture to say it was the_ cowhouse_? |
16224 | Dibdin, Ministre de la Religion,& c._"Avec un ris moqueur, je crois vous voir d''ici, Dédaigneusement dire: Eh, que veut celui- ci? |
16224 | Did I tell you that this sort of ornament was to be seen in some parts of the eastern end of the Abbey of Jumieges? |
16224 | Do you remember the emphatic phrase in my last,"all about the duel?" |
16224 | En feignant d''ignorer ce tendre sentiment;"Pourquoi,"lui dis- je,"ô ma sensible amie, Pourquoi verser des pleurs? |
16224 | Et comment s''étonneroit- on Si tant de fléaux nous tourmentent? |
16224 | Et quand l''avez- vous battue? |
16224 | Has the author passed a bad night? |
16224 | How shall I convey to you a summary, and yet a satisfactory, description of it? |
16224 | I exclaimed--"Ha, is it you Sir?" |
16224 | I was well contented with coffee, tea, eggs, and bread-- as who might not well be?... |
16224 | In the mean while, why is GALLIC ART inert? |
16224 | Is it not a pretty thing, Sir?" |
16224 | Is it possible that one spark of devotion can be kindled by the contemplation of an object so grotesque and so absurd in the House of God? |
16224 | It is surely the oddest, and as some may think, the most repulsive scene imaginable: But who that has a rational curiosity could resist such a walk? |
16224 | J''ai vu en beaucoup d''endroits de votre Lettre, que vous avez voulu imiter_ Sterne_;[4] qu''est- il arrivé? |
16224 | Je ne la peux faire lever le matin: Je l''appelle cent fois:_ Marguerite: plait- il ma Mere? |
16224 | Licquet; but what is a cow- house but"an_ outer building_ attached to the Abbey?" |
16224 | May I give him your name?" |
16224 | Ne voulez vous pas me répondre; en un mot, combien y a- t- il de temps que vous ne vous êtes confessée? |
16224 | On pointing to_ Houbigant''s Hebrew Bible_, in four folio volumes, 1753,"do you think this copy dear at fourteen francs?" |
16224 | On the other hand, has he had a good night''s rest in a comfortable bed? |
16224 | Ose- t- on ravaler un Ministre à ce point? |
16224 | Pensez- vous done, ou Charles Lewis pense- t- il, qu''il n''y ait plus d''esprit national en France? |
16224 | Qu''ai- je donc de commun avec un vil artiste? |
16224 | Que me veut ce_ Lesné_? |
16224 | Que voulez vous?" |
16224 | Savez- vous bien, Monsieur, pourquoi je vous écris? |
16224 | Scarcely fifteen people were present, I approached the bench; and what, think you, were the intellectual objects upon which my eye alighted? |
16224 | Still tarrying within this old fashioned place? |
16224 | The porter observed that they had just sat down to dinner-- but would I call at three? |
16224 | The woman said,"What, if you never return?" |
16224 | These be sharp words:[11] but what does the Reader imagine may be the probable"result"of the English Traveller''s inadvertencies?... |
16224 | Un ouvrier français, un_ Bibliopégiste_? |
16224 | What a difference between the respective appearances of the quays of Dieppe and Havre? |
16224 | What earthly motive could have led to such a brutal act of demolition?] |
16224 | What he adds, shall be given in his own pithy expression.--"Où la coquetterie va- t- elle se nicher?" |
16224 | What is meant to be here conveyed? |
16224 | What lovely vicinities are these compared with that of_ Mont Martre_? |
16224 | What say you therefore to a stroll to the ABBEY of ST. OUEN? |
16224 | What then, is the Abbé de la Rue in error? |
16224 | What was to be done? |
16224 | Where was the attendant guard?--or pursuivants-- or men at arms? |
16224 | Where was the harp of the minstrel? |
16224 | Where was the warder? |
16224 | Wherefore was this? |
16224 | Who in France would dare to risk such a sum-- especially for three, volumes in octavo? |
16224 | Why is it endured? |
16224 | Why is it persevered in? |
16224 | Would not the_ Debure_ Vocabulary have said"non rogné?"] |
16224 | [ 47] How long will this monument--(matchless of its kind)--continue unrepresented by the BURIN? |
16224 | [ Has my friend Mr. Hawkins, of the Museum, abandoned all thoughts of his magnificent project connected with such a NATIONAL WORK?] |
16224 | [ dans un lit_ comfortable_?] |
16224 | _ Saint Joseph_, que vous ai- je fait? |
16224 | et par quel changement Abandonner ton ame à la melancholie?" |
16224 | said he!--"How, Sir,"( replied I, in an exstacy of astonishment)--you mean to say fourteen_ louis_?" |
16224 | the baseness of John of Luxembourg, or the treachery of the Regent Bedford? |
16224 | who, by his strength, policy and wit kept them all out of the principal dominions of France, and out of this noble duchy of Normandy? |
17107 | !--as if every reader of common sense would not have given_ me_, rather than the_ Abbé Bétencourt_, credit for this bad speaking? |
17107 | Are the old and more curious books deposited here? |
17107 | But see, Sir,( continued he) is not this curious? |
17107 | Could Monsieur refuse this trifling payment? |
17107 | Had he any thing old and curious? |
17107 | Have you no curiosities of any kind--(said I to him) for sale? |
17107 | Is it possible to obtain a copy of this picture? |
17107 | Is it the top of the spire of Strasbourg Cathedral? |
17107 | Is the Son at home? |
17107 | Now that I am in this magical region, my good friend, allow me to inspect the famous PRAYER BOOK of CHARLEMAGNE? |
17107 | Vous le connoissez parfaitement bien, sans doute? |
17107 | Was the date legitimate? |
17107 | What is that? |
17107 | What is the subject to be? |
17107 | What might have been the charge per sheet? |
17107 | What might it have been? |
17107 | What might that be? |
17107 | What might that be? |
17107 | What might this mean? |
17107 | What want you there? |
17107 | Where is the original? |
17107 | Again-- if you convert them to_ other_ purposes of destruction, how can you hope to prevent the same example from being followed in other places? |
17107 | And do not mental affliction and bodily debility generally go together? |
17107 | And now, my good friend, suppose I furnish you with an outline of the worthy head- librarian himself? |
17107 | And to have it engraved there?" |
17107 | And wherefore? |
17107 | And who, think you, should that stranger turn out to be? |
17107 | And why is it thus? |
17107 | And yet it may be doubted whether the latter were absolutely printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz for their_ first_ edition? |
17107 | And yet, when will nations learn that few things tend so strongly to keep alive a pure spirit of PATRIOTISM as_ such_ a study or pursuit? |
17107 | And yet, where have I spoken ungraciously and uncourteously of Madame?] |
17107 | Are you thoroughly awake, and disenchanted from the magic which the contents of the preceding letter may have probably thrown around you? |
17107 | At least he must have a_ missal_ or two?" |
17107 | Barbier?" |
17107 | But I think I hear the wish escape him-- as he casts an attentive eye over the whole--"why do they not imitate us in a publication relating to them? |
17107 | But what do I see yonder? |
17107 | But what then? |
17107 | But"where are my favourite ECCLESIASTICAL EDIFICES?" |
17107 | But, what do you think supplied its place during the late Revolution, or in the year of our Lord 1794, on the 4th day of May? |
17107 | But, you may be disposed to add,"has this celebrated man no collection of Books?--no LIBRARY? |
17107 | Can it be so? |
17107 | Can such an union, therefore, be quite correct? |
17107 | Can there be the smallest shadow of doubt about the truth of the above assertion? |
17107 | Can this be in nature? |
17107 | Certainly the whole book has very much the air of a_ Copy_: and besides, would not the originals have been upon separate rolls of parchment? |
17107 | Could they not be placed in the chapel of St. Lawrence, or of St. Catharine, in the cathedral? |
17107 | Crapelet.?] |
17107 | Did the_ remaining_ volumes ever so exist? |
17107 | Did you ever, my dear friend, approach a fortified town by the doubtful light of a clouded moon, towards eleven of the clock? |
17107 | Do you ask this question? |
17107 | Does any perfect copy, of this kind, exist? |
17107 | Et votre grand capitaine, le DUC DE VELLINGTON, comment se porte il? |
17107 | Every now and then Louis turned round, and said to Bignon,"Bignon, have I got that book in my library?" |
17107 | Geneviève among the spectators.. and turning to his prime minister, exclaimed"Choiseul, how can one distinguish the_ true_ Bible of Sixtus V.?" |
17107 | I have lived fifty- nine years, the happiest of men-- and should I not be ungrateful towards Providence, if I complained of its decrees?!" |
17107 | I put it to the conscience of the most sober- minded observer of men and things-- if any earthly object can be more orthodox and legitimate? |
17107 | If you set fire to them, can you say how far the flames shall extend? |
17107 | In its original binding, with the ornaments tolerably entire:--and what binding should this be, but that of Henry the Second and Diane de Poictiers? |
17107 | Is it because some few hundred thousand_ printed volumes_ are deposited therein? |
17107 | Is there any representation of him, in the same situation, upon his_ return_? |
17107 | It is of the size of life; but surely a statue of_ Minerva_ would have been a little more appropriate? |
17107 | James''s Place_? |
17107 | Langlès?" |
17107 | Le Comte... comment vont les affaires en Angleterre? |
17107 | Most true-- and who has said that HE DOES? |
17107 | Next to Pascal is a prodigiously fine oval portrait( is it of_ Fontaine_?) |
17107 | Or rather, speaking more correctly, why are not the_ Marlborough Gems_ considered as an object of rivalry, by the curators of this exquisite cabinet? |
17107 | Ought not M. Crapelet to have said"il mourrira?" |
17107 | Possibly I might wish to possess them?" |
17107 | Quære tamen? |
17107 | Renouard, in consequence, venture upon the transportation of the_ remaining_ portion of his Library hither? |
17107 | Shall I tell you wherefore? |
17107 | The arms of_ Graville_( Grauille?) |
17107 | The attendant sees your misery, and approaches:"Que desirez vous, Monsieur?" |
17107 | The other day, when dining with some smart, lively, young Parisians, I was compelled to defend RAFFAELLE against David? |
17107 | The present is a sound, clean, and desirable copy: but why in such gay, red morocco, binding? |
17107 | The question therefore, was, after a good deal of pertinacious argument on both sides-- which of the two impressions was the MORE ANCIENT? |
17107 | Was it_ originally_ more_ piquan?_ I have reason not only to suspect, but to know, that it WAS. |
17107 | Was this object necessary to tell the tale?--or, rather, did not the sculptor deem it necessary to_ balance_( as is called) the figure? |
17107 | What is this singular portrait, which strikes one to the left, on entering? |
17107 | What may this mean? |
17107 | What must repeated glimpses have produced? |
17107 | What say you to this, Messrs. Lesné and Crapelet? |
17107 | What then? |
17107 | What therefore is to be done? |
17107 | What think you, among these"choice copies,"of the_ Cancionero Generale_ printed at Toledo in 1527, in the black letter, double columned, in folio? |
17107 | Who could say"nay?" |
17107 | Who is its fortunate Possessor?] |
17107 | Why do they not put forth something similar to what we have done for our_ Museum Marbles_? |
17107 | Why does he not visit us? |
17107 | Will the reader object to disporting himself with some REMBRANDTIANA, in the_ Bibliomania_ p. 680- 2.? |
17107 | Would I do him the favour of a visit? |
17107 | Would you believe it-- here are absolutely TWO copies of this glorious effort of the Aldine Press, printed UPON VELLUM!? |
17107 | Would you believe it-- nearly one half of the illumination, at top, has been sliced away? |
17107 | Would you believe it? |
17107 | Yet why do I find it in my heart to tell you that, towards the middle, many leaves are stained at the top of the right margin?! |
17107 | You enquire"whether Monsieur BARBIER, the chief Librarian, be within?" |
17107 | [ 149]["Would one not suppose that I had told M. Dibdin that it was impossible for the French to execute as fine plates as the English? |

17107 | [ 172]"What,( said its owner,) must you have an engraving of_ that_ head also? |
17107 | [ 75] Suppose, now, I throw in a little variety from the preceding, by the mention of a rare_ Italian_ book or two? |
17107 | [ Can I ever forget, or think slightly of, such kindness? |
13430 | Are you following a programme of reading? |
13430 | But where did you find the name? |
13430 | Can you give me the name of the person or committee who made it? |
13430 | Could you not bear with him for one hour? 13430 Do you mean the country of that name? |
13430 | Do you mean to tell me,my friend goes on,"that you would carry your company to Spain whenever the scene of their play is laid in that country? |
13430 | Do you mean travels in America, or travels by Americans in foreign countries? |
13430 | Do you want books like Dickens''s_ American Notes_, that give a foreigner''s impression of this country? |
13430 | Have you any material on the Medici? |
13430 | Have you anything on American travels? |
13430 | Have you some ideas about the subject you want to take up? |
13430 | How do you demonstrate all this? |
13430 | May I see it? 13430 May I see that book again?" |
13430 | Or books like Hawthorne''s_ Note Book_, telling how a foreign country appears to an American? |
13430 | Sha n''t I get you something more now? |
13430 | What did your big brother ask you to get? |
13430 | What would you have? |
13430 | Which did you finally take? |
13430 | Why do n''t they do something? |
13430 | Why flood? |
13430 | Why war? |
13430 | Why,asks Poincarà ©,"do certain degrees of freedom appear to play no part here; why are they, so to speak,''ankylosed''?" |
13430 | Yes; just what kind of material do you want? |
13430 | You are not going to read that, are you? |
13430 | (_ The Critic_, July, 1901, p. 67- 70) WHAT MAKES PEOPLE READ? |
13430 | And how is he to know whether other interesting and well- written histories and books of travel have not been similarly proved inaccurate? |
13430 | And it did-- whether nicely or not deponent saith not? |
13430 | And more than all else, may we not hope that these new backgrounds may react on the players who perform their parts in front of them? |
13430 | And now what does this all mean? |
13430 | And when this story has been told in despair to some very intelligent persons they have commented:"Well, there is n''t much more, is there?" |
13430 | Are books fitted to be our companions? |
13430 | Are grammar school graduates difficult to get, or high- priced? |
13430 | Are not these real benefits, and are they not desirable? |
13430 | Are there, then, no disseminators of ideas free from interference? |
13430 | Are they right? |
13430 | Are we straying from our subject? |
13430 | Are we to affirm that arithmetic is only for the born mathematician and Latin for the born linguist, and endeavor to ascertain who these may be? |
13430 | Are you afraid that he will form it wrong? |
13430 | Are you broader- minded or just hardened? |
13430 | Are you quite sure? |
13430 | Are your beliefs all based on mathematical certainties? |
13430 | Between a certainty and a fifty per cent chance, or less? |
13430 | But a question that is still more fundamental and quite as vital is: Do readers read at all? |
13430 | But have not librarians shared somewhat this mistaken and intolerant attitude? |
13430 | But how about the man whose first selection for this intimate personal group would be a complete set of the works of George Ade? |
13430 | But we may ask in turn"Why fire?" |
13430 | But what prevents either from having the six degrees to which ordinary mechanical theory entitles it? |
13430 | But what-- what in heaven''s name shall we do with the deluge when it comes? |
13430 | But why should we limit our efforts to the holiday season? |
13430 | CONTENTS DO READERS READ? |
13430 | Can these be completely accounted for by the mutual attractions of the bodies, according to the law of gravitation as enunciated by Sir Isaac Newton? |
13430 | Can we blame them, when we make the same mistake ourselves? |
13430 | Could it be expected that reading done in connection with such a performance should be valuable? |
13430 | Could there be two things more radically different than despotism and democracy?--the rule of the one and the rule of the many? |
13430 | Could we or should we abandon either? |
13430 | Did some one guide you to them or did you find them yourselves? |
13430 | Did you ever see a car- conductor fumbling about in the dark with the trolley pole, trying to hit the wire? |
13430 | Did you ever see a chemistry that gave, or tried to give, an idea of the world of chemical knowledge that environs its board cover? |
13430 | Do I think that everyone in a movie audience makes use of his privilege to imagine what the actors are saying? |
13430 | Do the readers of library books in New York shun the public- press, or do they pay scant heed to what they read therein? |
13430 | Do those of you who are musicians remember when you first apprehended the relations between the tonic and the dominant chords? |
13430 | Does he any the less say"White"? |
13430 | Does it require us to call wrong right and black white? |
13430 | Does the absorber of mental pabulum from books argue wrongly from similar premises? |
13430 | Does the reading public read because it has a literary taste or for some other reason? |
13430 | Does the young lover ask how and how often he shall go to see his sweetheart? |
13430 | Does this mean that the book, as a tool of the teacher, will have to go? |
13430 | Does this mean that when our country makes an error we are to shut our eyes to it? |
13430 | Does this not place in a new and interesting light the library and the books of which it is composed? |
13430 | Does your public library get enough public money to enable it to do the work that it ought to do? |
13430 | Efficient for what? |
13430 | First, what is belief? |
13430 | Has that chemical constitution changed? |
13430 | Has the public a definite idea of what it wants from the public library, and of what is reasonable for it to ask? |
13430 | Have I wandered too far from my theme? |
13430 | How about education? |
13430 | How about the board of trustees who have accepted such a situation without protest? |
13430 | How about the city authorities who have failed to vote the library adequate support? |
13430 | How about the dissatisfied? |
13430 | How about the other factor in the reaction-- the human organism and its properties? |
13430 | How do these considerations affect the subject of general education? |
13430 | How is the future reader of Dr. Cook''s interesting account of the ascent of Mount McKinley to know that it has been discredited? |
13430 | How long is it to remain thus? |
13430 | How many meaty epigrams would take as long? |
13430 | How many teachers of history try to utilize race- consciousness in their pupils to make them attain a clearer knowledge of what it all meant? |
13430 | How much original thought, how much discovery, how much invention, how much inspiration, is put into their writing and emanates from their reading? |
13430 | How often do we give them information and aid directed toward this end? |
13430 | How often do we urge our readers to become book- owners? |
13430 | How should it be selected and how constituted? |
13430 | I ask the bakery lady to my reference and I sing my neam"[ sign my name?]. |
13430 | I have heard a tiny boy, looking up suddenly from his play, ask"Why do we live?" |
13430 | I should inquire,"What is there in it for other people?" |

13430 | If he claims descent from Pocahontas, can he tell us just how much of what we currently believe of her is fact and how much is myth? |
13430 | If massage has relieved rheumatism, why should it not be good also for typhoid? |
13430 | If so, is it satisfied that it is represented by a board that is of the same mind? |
13430 | In Newcomb''s words,"Does any world move otherwise than as it is attracted by other worlds?" |
13430 | Instead of asking the question,"What is there in it for me?" |
13430 | Is it because you then saw through a glass darkly and now more clearly? |
13430 | Is it necessary to burn down a house every time we want to roast a pig? |
13430 | Is it possible that they are right? |
13430 | Is it too much to expect? |
13430 | Is my knowledge"superficial"? |
13430 | Is not this the right way to look at it? |
13430 | Is our publicity failing in quantity or in quality? |
13430 | Is something right or wrong? |
13430 | Is something true or false? |
13430 | Is the awakening of such a realization too much for us? |
13430 | Is there any chance of a movie masterpiece, anyway? |
13430 | Is this a truism? |
13430 | It is a producer of energy in easily available form, and, thinking on some such novels as"Uncle Tom,""Die Waffen nieder"and shall we say"The jungle"? |
13430 | It might all fade, at length; we all know that many good teachings of our childhood do vanish; why should not the bad ones occasionally follow suit? |
13430 | May it be that to read books is unnecessary and superfluous? |
13430 | May we have a center for so wide a range of activities? |
13430 | Must we wait for the horrors of a great war to teach us geography, industrial chemistry and international law? |
13430 | Now is the possession of two languages, a spoken and a written, an advantage or not? |
13430 | Now, our income actually is about$ 250,000, but how could I tell him that? |
13430 | Of ten promoters, if nine proceeded on this principle and one on the plan of offering something attractive and interesting, who would succeed? |
13430 | One is educated, of course, by everything that he sees or does, but why rub it in? |
13430 | Or is he primarily attracted to the library by some other consideration, his love for books and reading acting only in a secondary manner? |
13430 | Or is your vision darker now than it was? |
13430 | Or rather shall we find that it is but apparent and hides a series of continuous processes?... |
13430 | Our question,"Do readers read?" |
13430 | Poetry, to you and me, is what we make of it; and what do you suppose our friend from Oregon was making of Chaucer? |
13430 | Shall I traverse the group every year? |
13430 | Should the librarian step out and attempt to stimulate this social instinct and to guide this organizing effort? |
13430 | Should we not think that some horrible epidemic had laid its hand on us? |
13430 | Some literature lasts a century, some a year, some a week; where shall we draw the line below which all must be condemned as ephemeral? |
13430 | Suppose nearly half the pebbles were black? |
13430 | That one black pebble represents a tiny doubt; does it affect the direction of his enforced action? |
13430 | The Tumtum Springs did my uncle''s gout so much good; why does n''t your cousin try them for her headaches? |
13430 | The electrons preserve their individuality amid the most diverse vicissitudes, is it the same with the atoms of energy? |
13430 | The supplementary question,"Why do not readers read?" |
13430 | Then of what country in the realm of literature do you desire to be a citizen? |
13430 | Then she broke out animatedly:"Why, I just wanted American travels, do n''t you know? |
13430 | This and its correlative"Why do we die?" |
13430 | This is doubtless a fault, and its possessor should suffer, but how about the equally guilty accessories? |
13430 | Those who are interested in the proper use of our libraries are asking continually,"What do readers read?" |
13430 | To quote from Poincarà ©''s paper:"How should we picture a radiating body? |
13430 | To what, then, must we attribute the growth of the feeling that the treatment of disease by the administration of drugs is on the decline? |
13430 | To which type, do you think, will the public prefer to resort? |
13430 | WHAT MAKES PEOPLE READ? |
13430 | We are now in a position to ask the question: Is the matter in a mixture of two continua identical with that of its constituents? |
13430 | We have had the psychology of race, of the crowd and of the criminal; where is the investigator who has studied the Psychology of Woman? |
13430 | What are the advantages and what the limitations of each? |
13430 | What brings these people to the library? |
13430 | What can he do to make his business more valued and respected, more useful to the public and more profitable to himself? |
13430 | What can there be in common between these two acts of faith? |
13430 | What can we do toward generating or taking advantage of other great driving impulses toward community education? |
13430 | What could be simpler than to advise the extermination of all germ diseases by killing off the germs? |
13430 | What do the members of his staff say? |
13430 | What does an animal do, and what does it not do, when it"browses"? |
13430 | What does it not do? |

13430 | What does the library board think? |
13430 | What else is meant by our business branches, our technology rooms, our legislative and municipal reference departments? |

13430 | What would the old man do without it? |
13430 | What, now, if a sentence, a stanza, a paragraph, a page, passes into the brain through the eye? |
13430 | What, then, is the part that the community may play in increasing the efficiency of a public institution like the public library? |
13430 | What, then? |
13430 | When we read a Roman account of encounters between the legions and the northern tribes, where do we place ourselves in imagination, as readers? |
13430 | Whence come we and whither do we go? |
13430 | Where are yours? |
13430 | Where shall we place this collection? |
13430 | Who are your favorites? |
13430 | Who can be sorry that back of the flag there are earnest men; nay, that there are ships there, and guns? |
13430 | Who will be the first manager to experiment with this new adjunct to the art of the stage? |
13430 | Why do we preserve by continual reprinting Shakespeare and Scott and Tennyson and Hawthorne? |
13430 | Why do you prefer your present status? |
13430 | Why should a man harbor in his house a book that he has read once and never cares to read again? |
13430 | Why should each man talk to a woman"as if she were another man"? |
13430 | Why should he own one that he will never care to read at all? |
13430 | Why should not Mrs. Smith, who was out over night in the blizzard of 1888, recount her experiences, mental as well as physical? |
13430 | Why should not a movie caption be good literature? |
13430 | Why should the local debating club, the mothers''meeting-- nay, why should the political ward meeting be barred out? |
13430 | Why should we have two languages-- as we practically do-- one to be interpreted by the ear and the other by the eye? |
13430 | Why shut our eyes to the truth? |
13430 | Why the difference? |
13430 | Why, indeed? |
13430 | Why? |
13430 | With what dam shall we withstand it; through what sluices shall we lead it; into what useful turbines shall we direct it? |
13430 | Wo n''t that be nice?" |
13430 | Would that make the slightest difference about what he would do? |
13430 | Would they have survived if they had begun to sell cigars and lawn- mowers? |
13430 | Would you prefer a taste fixed by someone who tells the browser what he ought to like? |
13430 | Would you rather be a citizen of the United States than, we will say, of Nicaragua? |
13430 | Yet how much that is of value to the world first saw the light in a paper read before a woman''s club? |
13430 | or are you looking up porcelain?" |
13430 | was Cromwell truly born thereon? |

41837 | A wall? |
41837 | Across the river? 41837 And indeed,"she thought dreamily,"why should they not be? |
41837 | And it was you who told the police I was in danger when that terrible man and woman locked me in? |
41837 | And was it done in dark red leather with the decorations all in gold? |
41837 | And you followed us right out into the country that night we went to the Ramsey cottage? |
41837 | And, and,Lucile whispered the words,"was there a bookmark in the upper corner of the inside of the front cover?" |
41837 | Are these the ones? |
41837 | Are you going to take the book? |
41837 | Are you interested in the exhibit? |
41837 | Are you interested in this child? |
41837 | Are you sure? |
41837 | Are-- are you Roderick Vining? |
41837 | Been studying late? |
41837 | But fi- fum,she laughed a low laugh, throwing back her head until her hair danced over her white shoulders like a golden shower,"why borrow trouble? |
41837 | But how,she asked herself,"is all this tangle to be straightened out? |
41837 | But if I were to tell you that for the present I did not wish to have you ask me where it was, what would you say? |
41837 | But if they did, why should they call the police for your protection? |
41837 | But this money, this hundred dollars? |
41837 | But what are we doing out here? |
41837 | But what do you mean to do about it? |
41837 | But, Florence, how can we get it? |
41837 | By the way,Frank Morrow''s voice startled her,"you live over at the university, do n''t you?" |
41837 | Can I never escape it? 41837 Come alone?" |
41837 | Decent? |
41837 | Did he have a birthmark on his chin, this man you bought the book from? |
41837 | Did we rescue that child from that woman? |
41837 | Did we what? |
41837 | Did we? |
41837 | Did what? |
41837 | Did you find out who it was? |
41837 | Did you hear what the child said, that she''d rather die than steal? |
41837 | Did you see that? |
41837 | Did-- did you finish it? |
41837 | Do you think we should warn her? 41837 Do you wish to stay with her?" |
41837 | Florence,she whispered excitedly,"did you hear a footstep behind us?" |
41837 | Frank Morrow sent you all the way from Chicago that you might ask me that question? 41837 From whom?" |
41837 | He--She paused in her perplexing problem to grip her companion''s arm and whisper,"What was that?" |
41837 | How can you know so much about the book? |
41837 | How could she do it? |
41837 | How did the police know that something was going wrong in that house? 41837 How did you come here?" |
41837 | I do n''t believe in ghosts, but-- where have I seen that face before? 41837 I-- I do n''t like it,"shivered Lucile,"but what else is there to do?" |
41837 | I-- I wonder if she could have taken it,she whispered,"that child? |
41837 | If the books are worth all that money, how dare you take the risk of leaving things as they are for a single hour? |
41837 | Is someone here to meet her or is she entering the place to get something? |
41837 | Is that all you know about it? |
41837 | Is what she says true? |
41837 | It might be,said Florence doubtfully,"but it does n''t seem probable, does it? |
41837 | Let''s do it then? |
41837 | Lucile,said Florence in a tense whisper,"are we going to let that beast of a woman get that child? |
41837 | Mind doing me a favor? |
41837 | Mind going over the whole story again? |
41837 | Miss Tucker,the librarian smiled,"do you chance to have any knowledge of the whereabouts of the first volume of our early edition of Shakespeare?" |
41837 | Not the rich Ramsey? |
41837 | Now how shall I find her? |
41837 | Oh, are you? |
41837 | Oh, that? |
41837 | Oh,she smiled back,"are there really original manuscripts of Shakespeare''s plays?" |
41837 | Pardon me; you wanted to see me? 41837 Perhaps not at all?" |
41837 | Please may I take a chair? |
41837 | Question is,she told herself,"what am I going to do about it?" |
41837 | Seems strange, does n''t it? |
41837 | She returned once, why not again? |
41837 | Show up yet? |
41837 | That book? |
41837 | The one who followed me the night I got caught in that wretched woman''s house, and other times? |
41837 | The one with his collar turned up and with his back to us? |
41837 | The police? 41837 There''s nothing so terrible about that, is there?" |
41837 | Want to see that she gets safely home? |
41837 | We-- we--she faltered"--may we not step back under the light where you can see the book better?" |
41837 | Well, my young friend,he smiled,"what is it I may do for you this morning? |
41837 | Well, what will it be to- day? |
41837 | Well,she heaved a sigh,"whatever could have come over him? |
41837 | Well? |
41837 | Were two of them very small ones? |
41837 | Wha-- where has she gone? |
41837 | What about it, little one? |
41837 | What did he want? |
41837 | What did you tell her? |
41837 | What do you make of it? |
41837 | What else could I do? 41837 What for?" |
41837 | What is it? |
41837 | What next? |
41837 | What right has he? 41837 What right have you to keep it?" |
41837 | What two? |
41837 | What would n''t one give to have it for a study? |
41837 | What would that young man be doing in a summer cottage at this time of year? |
41837 | What''s going on here? |
41837 | What''s that for? |
41837 | What''s the answer to all this? 41837 What''s the girl tied up for?" |
41837 | What''s the trouble? |
41837 | What''s the use? |
41837 | What? |
41837 | What? |
41837 | Whatever can be the matter with him? |
41837 | Where am I and where am I to go? |
41837 | Where are we? |
41837 | Where did you get this book? |
41837 | Where''ve you been in all this storm? 41837 Wherever can we be going? |
41837 | Who can it be? |
41837 | Who is it? |
41837 | Who was he? |
41837 | Who''s Frank Morrow? |
41837 | Who-- who was he? |
41837 | Why always the gargoyle? 41837 Why did we do it?" |
41837 | Why-- er--there was a catch in her throat--"is it gone?" |
41837 | Why? |
41837 | Why? |
41837 | Will you tell him all about it? |
41837 | Wonder what my new acquirement is like? |
41837 | Wonder what she calls the taking of our Shakespeare? |
41837 | Would n''t you like to see the inside of it? |
41837 | Would you like to have me tell you a little about them? |
41837 | Would you like to see some old books and get a notion of their value? |
41837 | Would you-- would you mind telling me how you knew what book I had when you did not see it? |
41837 | Yes, was n''t it? 41837 Yes, why? |
41837 | You do n''t think she''d dare? |
41837 | You-- you''re not? |
41837 | Your daughter? |
41837 | ''Why should you think that?'' |
41837 | A moment later she said in a quiet tone of voice:"Lucile, do n''t you think it''s about time we waded ashore? |
41837 | A second question suddenly disturbed her: Who was this child? |
41837 | Ah, yes, how wonderful they are, these books?" |
41837 | And could he, above all, induce an innocent child to join him in the deed? |
41837 | And how could a child with a face like hers consciously commit a theft?" |
41837 | And what does he want?" |
41837 | And what is the meaning of the secret mark?" |
41837 | And what would n''t two hundred dollars mean to her? |
41837 | And who would suspect me? |
41837 | And why did he assume that she was borrowing it?" |
41837 | And why? |
41837 | And, indeed, who, besides herself, could be in the book stacks at this hour of the night? |
41837 | At first she thought she ought, yet deliberation led to silence, for, after all, what did she know? |
41837 | Besides, if it''s plain business, why all this slipping in at the lake front instead of passing through the gate?" |
41837 | Besides, what if it is? |
41837 | But now she clutched at her heart as she asked herself once more:"Who can it be? |
41837 | But where? |
41837 | But where?" |
41837 | But why was she going? |
41837 | Ca n''t you?" |
41837 | Came clear and got out of this affair; turned facts over to the authorities and allowed them to take their course?" |
41837 | Came to borrow a book, did you? |
41837 | Can I go no place without discovering that books marked with that hated, haunting sign have been stolen? |
41837 | Can you see it in the morning papers? |
41837 | Could he stoop to stealing?" |
41837 | Did he suspect her? |
41837 | Did he suspect something? |
41837 | Did he suspect? |
41837 | Did she catch a glimpse of a retreating figure at the far side of the campus? |
41837 | Did the prince of the steel market wish a folio edition of Audubon''s"Birds of America"? |
41837 | Did you wish to speak with him?" |
41837 | Dinner, on such occasions, is served on a tea- wagon in his library; sort of makes a fellow feel at home, do n''t you know? |
41837 | Do-- do you suppose it will be anything very dreadful?" |
41837 | Ever been to New York before?" |
41837 | Got any friends in New York?" |
41837 | Had he perhaps seen her enter the library on one of those nights of her watching? |
41837 | Had she been watched from above? |
41837 | Had she done so at the old man''s direction? |
41837 | Had she heard? |
41837 | Had she herself taken it? |
41837 | Had she seen her before? |
41837 | Had that person been the same as he who had followed her this very night in an attempt to regain possession of the two books? |
41837 | Had they done this to free a child about whom they knew nothing save that she had stolen two valuable books? |
41837 | Have you read it?" |
41837 | He paused as if in reflection, then said suddenly:"Do you think one would ever be justified in protecting a person whom he knew had stolen something?" |
41837 | How did she expect to get out? |
41837 | How did they come to be right there when you needed them most?" |
41837 | How had she gotten in? |
41837 | How long would they remain there? |
41837 | How was I to know what had happened? |
41837 | I wonder if he suspects-- but, no, how could he?" |
41837 | I wonder why? |
41837 | If he was a detective, how had she escaped him on this trip? |
41837 | If not, who then? |
41837 | In such a place? |
41837 | Is that tall book second from the end on the shelf with the vacant space the Portland chart book?" |
41837 | It was the man who had been seated at the table, but why had he been spying? |
41837 | Last of all,"she smiled,"where does our friend, the aged Frenchman, the godfather of that precious child, come in on it? |
41837 | Let''s see, what is that one?" |
41837 | Let''s see-- who could tell me? |
41837 | Let''s see?" |
41837 | Lucile asked eagerly,"and where was his shop?" |
41837 | Mind if I smoke?" |
41837 | Or was it a thought? |
41837 | Or, after all, had she? |
41837 | Perhaps you should like to have me explain some of them to you?" |
41837 | Pretty good, eh?" |
41837 | Probably-- but what''s the use? |
41837 | See that man?" |
41837 | She had told Florence nothing, yet she had surprised her roommate often looking at her in a way which said,"Why are you out so late every night? |
41837 | She was in a great, dark city alone and she was going-- where? |
41837 | Should she tell what she knew? |
41837 | Should the child be allowed to carry it to the mysterious cottage or should they insist on taking it to their room for safe keeping? |
41837 | Simple, was n''t it? |
41837 | So he did have a customer who was impatient of waiting and might seek a copy elsewhere? |
41837 | That ends the affair, does it not? |
41837 | That seems sensible enough, does n''t it? |
41837 | The next turn found her mind focused on the one important question: Which way had the child gone? |
41837 | The question was, what did she intend to do? |
41837 | To what place? |
41837 | Want''a buy it?" |
41837 | Was a single book missing? |
41837 | Was he a detective who had been set to dog her trail or was he some friend? |
41837 | Was she hardened or completely innocent of guilt? |
41837 | We gave gladly, for was it not our beloved France that was in danger? |
41837 | Were two or three missing? |
41837 | What I wish to know is, where did you get it?" |
41837 | What are two books compared to the marring of a human life? |
41837 | What could that be other than books? |
41837 | What could that child and the old Frenchman do if the fire reached their cottage? |
41837 | What did Frank Morrow hope to prove by any discoveries she might make regarding the former ownership of the book she carried in her pocket? |
41837 | What did he mean? |
41837 | What do you think it would look like? |
41837 | What do you? |
41837 | What great man may have contemplated the destruction of his wife? |
41837 | What if this turned out to be a jail- breaking expedition? |
41837 | What is one to make of that? |
41837 | What noble lady may have whispered in its presence of some secret love? |
41837 | What right has a university, or anyone else for that matter, to have books worth thousands of dollars? |
41837 | What was he driving at? |
41837 | What was she doing in the library at this unearthly hour? |
41837 | What was the man''s purpose? |
41837 | What was the use? |
41837 | What was to come of that? |
41837 | What would be the sense of having a wood plane worth eighteen thousand dollars when a five dollar one would do just as good work?" |
41837 | What would that old man and child have to do with prisons?" |
41837 | What would you say it was worth?" |
41837 | What youths and maids may have slipped away into its quiet corner to utter murmurs of eternal devotion? |
41837 | What?" |
41837 | When is he likely to return?" |
41837 | Where was the culprit? |
41837 | Where''d I get her? |
41837 | Where? |
41837 | Who at that moment could tell? |
41837 | Who could be expected to keep up with her?" |
41837 | Who could tell when the fire would reach the mysterious tumble- down cottage with its aged occupant? |
41837 | Who shall it be?" |
41837 | Why be so foolish?" |
41837 | Why did he not wire me? |
41837 | Why do n''t you let me follow her alone?" |
41837 | Why do n''t you share things with your pal?" |
41837 | Why does Monsieur Le Bon want the books? |
41837 | Why had the child taken the book? |
41837 | Why not now? |
41837 | Why not pass them on?" |
41837 | Why should not such a person be punished? |
41837 | Why? |
41837 | Why? |
41837 | Wild questions raced through her mind: Who was the child? |
41837 | Wo n''t you please look at the book and answer my question?" |
41837 | Woods are awful sort of spooky at night, do n''t you think so?" |
41837 | Would it be all yellow and fiery like a glowworm or would it be just white, like a sheet?" |
41837 | Would you mind taking them along?" |
41837 | You do n''t think someone could suspect-- be shadowing us?" |
41837 | Your address? |
41837 | Your friends here will see that they are not stolen from you, will you not?" |
41837 | grunted the proprietor suddenly,"what''s this? |
41837 | she exclaimed,"what are you crying for? |
46933 | !_ What? |
46933 | ''Peru,''she began to read,"''the ancient kingdom of the Incas--''""Of the whichers?" |
46933 | Ai n''t the teacher comin''? |
46933 | Almost the only novel which I condescended to include in my list is''Don Quixote,''and why did I do that? 46933 And the lasso that hangs above them?" |
46933 | And the stuffed bloodhound? |
46933 | And this hen? |
46933 | Are you sure that is what it is? |
46933 | Are you sure there was such a man? |
46933 | As I go over my reading for the past five years at Upidee, in what do I find it to consist? 46933 Ca n''t you roll me a cigarette? |
46933 | Daniel? 46933 David, are you there? |
46933 | Did anything come of it? |
46933 | Did n''t they make you take a green card? |
46933 | Did n''t yer put a feller out, or somethin''? |
46933 | Did you look under''periodicals''? |
46933 | Do you suppose,she whispered,"that it is the great condor of the Andes?" |
46933 | Does n''t it? |
46933 | Gibbon is a man then? 46933 Going to have some sweet- peas?" |
46933 | Got any new books? |
46933 | Have I? 46933 Have you ever read it?" |
46933 | Have you had trouble with him before? |
46933 | Have you it right there? |
46933 | Here are some smaller animals,said Mr. Gooch;"do you know this fellow with the sharp nose?" |
46933 | Him? 46933 How about Shakspeare?" |
46933 | How did you get all these weapons? |
46933 | How do you do it? |
46933 | How long do they have to keep that up? |
46933 | How many cards you got? |
46933 | How many of them are there? |
46933 | How would that do? |
46933 | I beg your pardon? |
46933 | Is it awfully dry? 46933 Is n''t it? |
46933 | Is that necessary? |
46933 | Is this the library? 46933 Is this the library?" |
46933 | Is this the one you want--''The Halfback''? 46933 Is_ that_ what it means?" |
46933 | It is a mongoose, is it not? |
46933 | Jane, do you mean to say that you do not know how to mulch? |
46933 | Keep what up? |
46933 | Know anything about it? |
46933 | Know who Beowulf was? |
46933 | Let''s see-- Swift, Jane Austen and Spenser are the ducks you say I ought to look up? |
46933 | Like him? |
46933 | Little Nell''s? |
46933 | Miss Bixby? |
46933 | Miss Patterson? 46933 Mister, you ai n''t got the lady''s job away from her, have yer?" |
46933 | No; what good are they? |
46933 | Now, Willie,she said,"which do you like best, story- books or nature books?" |
46933 | Oh, would that make any difference? |
46933 | One moment,I interposed,"how do you classify your animals? |
46933 | Sam, what Bailey is it they are to look it up in? |
46933 | Say, I guess yer got into some trouble here last week, did n''t yer? |
46933 | She was the woman that was married three or four times, and ought to have been two or three other times, was n''t she? |
46933 | So you''ve only got to- day and to- morrow? |
46933 | That the library? 46933 The genuine Pobble?" |
46933 | The one with which he killed the Lord of Luna?'' 46933 The snakes are an especially fine part of the collection,"Mr. Gooch remarked;"do you see this swamp adder? |
46933 | There is n''t any such thing,she said presently;"do n''t you mean perennials? |
46933 | They look much more harmless than Bob Acres''pistols, do they not? 46933 This? |
46933 | To be what? |
46933 | Trouble? 46933 Was he the fellow who said we were all descended from monkeys?" |
46933 | Was it any good? |
46933 | Was there never an Indian raid? |
46933 | Well, let me see, how about Browning? |
46933 | Well, what could we have? 46933 Well, why could n''t we have that?" |
46933 | Well, why_ did n''t_ you mulch''em? |
46933 | Well, you know who Swinburne was, do n''t you? |
46933 | What are danger signs? |
46933 | What do they say? |
46933 | What do yer want them for? |
46933 | What do you mean? |
46933 | What happened to them? |
46933 | What have you got there? |
46933 | What in thunder are you beginning to grind now for? |
46933 | What is it? |
46933 | What is this bottle? 46933 What on earth is a cromlech?" |
46933 | What one? |
46933 | What was that? |
46933 | What will happen to them? |
46933 | What would the scientific name be? |
46933 | What''s that? |
46933 | What, the author of''Winged Warblers of Waltham''and''Common or Garden Birds''? |
46933 | What? |
46933 | Where is he? |
46933 | Where''s that copy of''Thelma''? 46933 Where''s the teacher?" |
46933 | Who are they? |
46933 | Who? 46933 Whom did you see in there?" |
46933 | Why, it does n''t say that, does it? |
46933 | Will we? 46933 Will you please ask Miss Bixby to look it up, and let me know as soon as possible?" |
46933 | Would you mind getting me a rain- coat? 46933 You do n''t? |
46933 | You wanted to see me? 46933 _ What?_ Tripped you up?" |
46933 | _ What?_ Tripped you up? |
46933 | A man( mopping his brow):"Say, what''s this''open- shelf''business,--d''ye have to find your own books? |
46933 | A serious- faced man, evidently a workingman in his best clothes:"Have n''t you got the Encyclopà ¦ dia Britannica here? |
46933 | A small boy:"Have you any books about explosions? |
46933 | A small girl:"Please, can I keep this book on how to bring up parrots till next week?" |
46933 | A tall and very resolute- looking woman, with three books under her arm:"Have you got''The Leopard''s Spots''in this library? |
46933 | A voice from the rear of the crowd:"Why do n''t you do something about it?" |
46933 | A woman leading a child:"Haf you de Deutsches Balladenbuch?" |
46933 | A woman with poppies on her hat:"How do you do, Miss Vanderpyl? |
46933 | A woman:"Just let me take that pencil of yours, a minute?" |
46933 | A young lady, an acquaintance of Miss Grant, who thinks she is doing a little slumming:"Oh, Miss Grant, how do you do? |
46933 | Ai n''t you?" |
46933 | And this is the book you want to take?" |
46933 | And who was Pamela Pingree who died in 1689?" |
46933 | And your husband, I presume, will represent the marquis?" |
46933 | And, look here, is n''t this page 719?" |
46933 | Another man:"That''s because it''s Carnegie''s library, ai n''t it, miss?" |
46933 | Another small boy:"Have n''t you got the Mutt and Jeff book yet? |
46933 | Are there not some events that would be suitable? |
46933 | At the time when I began to take down their conversation, the young woman was saying:"What''s''Gibbon''? |
46933 | Bailey who? |
46933 | Browning?" |
46933 | Bunkum?" |
46933 | But what was that about Grub Street? |
46933 | But what will I say to Aunt Ella?" |
46933 | But, say, how is that? |
46933 | Buying sweet- peas?" |
46933 | Can you do nothing to remedy this state of things? |
46933 | Central gave me the wrong number.... Hello, is this central? |
46933 | Could it have been because his poems are easy to understand and that I thought it would seem more''scholarly''to put in Browning? |
46933 | D''ye see this postal? |
46933 | David? |
46933 | Dear me, is that your ancestor?" |
46933 | Did not General Washington and Mrs. Washington visit our town?" |
46933 | Did she?" |
46933 | Did you call for us?" |
46933 | Did you look under''periodicals''?" |
46933 | Do n''t say he lived in the Craigie House on Brattle street, and wrote''Evangeline,''will you? |
46933 | Do n''t yer know how to work that?" |
46933 | Do n''t yer? |
46933 | Do you mean to say that you own only_ one_ copy of such an important work?" |
46933 | Do you recognize the canary?" |
46933 | Do you s''pose I can work that gag now, an''get''By England''s Aid''?" |
46933 | Do you suppose an authority like Mrs. Bunkum would write a book on gardening, and not mention such common things as sunflowers? |
46933 | Do you understand? |
46933 | During the interval that followed, the operator at central asked three times:"Did you get them?" |
46933 | Ever hear of him?" |
46933 | Gracious, is that clock right? |
46933 | Have you a history of Peru? |
46933 | Have you any books about birds?" |
46933 | Have you any other animals in it?" |
46933 | Have you anything sufficiently mournful?" |
46933 | Have you ever raised any?" |
46933 | Have you ever read this book?" |
46933 | Have you ever tried it?" |
46933 | Have you got it here or have n''t you? |
46933 | Have you got it?" |
46933 | Have you something there in which you have absolutely no interest-- some book or article that is dry as dust?" |
46933 | Have you the book right there? |
46933 | Have you''The Blandishments of Belinda''in this library?" |
46933 | Hello, is this the Public Library? |
46933 | Henderson''s glue factory? |
46933 | How are you for pigs''feet to- day?" |
46933 | How are you on Swift, Addison and that crowd? |
46933 | How do you do it?" |
46933 | How does it go?" |
46933 | How many yer got?" |
46933 | How old was the man?'' |
46933 | I ca n''t see it over the telephone, can I? |
46933 | I do n''t see what this''Sunbonnet''means, do you? |
46933 | I had often read of this custom in times of mutiny, so I remarked:"I suppose it was by your orders, Captain?" |
46933 | I had to sit and listen to this chatter:"What yer got?" |
46933 | I understand that you answer inquiries by telephone? |
46933 | I''d like to read his book-- I wonder if they''ve got it here?" |
46933 | If that''s so, how under the sun, I''d like to know, was he married to Pamela Perkins in 1706?" |
46933 | In Freedom Bailey''s Cyclopà ¦ dia of Agriculture, or any dictionary.... Did you find it? |
46933 | Is n''t she there?" |
46933 | Is that Miss Fairfax? |
46933 | Is that central? |
46933 | Is that you? |
46933 | Is there no other way? |
46933 | Is this Miss Fairfax? |
46933 | Is this the library? |
46933 | Is this the library? |
46933 | It does n''t look earthly, does it? |
46933 | It has n''t been discharged-- who brought this in? |
46933 | It was about so high-- oh, I forgot, you ca n''t see over the telephone, can you? |
46933 | It was to appear next April, and now who knows whether I shall be there ready to reply to the attacks which I know it will provoke? |
46933 | Kookle?" |
46933 | Let me see; I believe I sent you an advance invitation? |
46933 | Miss Fairfax has gone to her supper? |
46933 | Miss Fairfax? |
46933 | Miss French, the other librarian, laying a very dirty slip of paper on Miss Grant''s desk:"What do you suppose this means? |
46933 | Miss Grant:"Oh, yes-- just write her a note, will you, Miss French? |
46933 | Miss Grant:"Perhaps you took it from the central library, or one of the other branches?" |
46933 | Miss Grant:"Why, how old is he?" |
46933 | Miss Patterson? |
46933 | Miss V.( becoming rather red):"Your card?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Ca n''t you tell me about the book,--what it was about, I mean?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"He means''One Way Out,''--see if there is a copy in, will you?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Is that it?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"It must keep him rather busy, do n''t you think, running all his libraries?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Was it a story? |
46933 | Miss V.:"Was it fiction-- a novel?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"What book do you want?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"What was the title?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Which same one? |
46933 | Miss V.:"Who was the author-- who wrote it?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Why, I ca n''t give you a book unless you have a card,--haven''t you ever borrowed books from the library?" |
46933 | Miss V.:"Will you look it up in the catalogue, please? |
46933 | Miss V.:"Yes, your library card,--haven''t you one?" |
46933 | No, please hold the line; I have n''t finished yet.... Is that you, Miss Fairfax? |
46933 | Not by authors, I take it?" |
46933 | Now how many of these will you take? |
46933 | Now what would you advise? |
46933 | Now, can you tell me what the name of the book is, Miss Patterson?" |
46933 | Now, do you remember what it was?" |
46933 | Now, if I should describe it to you do you think you could look it up in some of your books?" |
46933 | Now, if you''ll just--"A high school student:"Can I get a copy of''The Merchant of Venice,''the Rolfe edition?" |
46933 | Now, what do you suppose it is?" |
46933 | Now, what shall I do-- shall I sit down here and help you?" |
46933 | Now, would you let x equal the age of the uncle, or the man?" |
46933 | Oh, Miss Anderson? |
46933 | Oh, Miss Anderson? |
46933 | Oh, Miss Tyler and Miss Hancock, out at the desk, of course, and who? |
46933 | Oh, how do you do? |
46933 | Oh, is n''t that''The Long Roll''over there on that desk? |
46933 | Oh, you did-- you''re returning it? |
46933 | One of the little boys began to cry, and Mr. Fernald, remarking,"I guess that will do, wo n''t it?" |
46933 | Over there, you see that big crowd? |
46933 | Perhaps you recognize the other?" |
46933 | Say, have you ever read any of Alger''s?" |
46933 | Shall I put him out?" |
46933 | Smith?" |
46933 | Something about your son?" |
46933 | Still, my little museum-- you have never seen it? |
46933 | That peculiar machine in the corner? |
46933 | That''s so, ai n''t it? |
46933 | The confidential man( beginning to lose his patience, at last):"_ About?_ Why, it was about a lot of things!" |
46933 | The confidential man:"Huh?" |
46933 | The confidential man:"Lord, I dunno!--Just let me have it, will yer?" |
46933 | The confidential man:"The title?--Oh, the_ name_ of it?" |
46933 | The man:"Why, I thought he run it, do n''t he?" |
46933 | The personage( mystified):"Card?" |
46933 | The personage:"Who made that rule?" |
46933 | The personage:"Why not?" |
46933 | The small man:"I beg pardon?" |
46933 | The small man:"Oh, those_ horrid_ cards? |
46933 | The two swords next to Horatius''s-- who owned them?" |
46933 | The very large woman:"What? |
46933 | The what? |
46933 | The woman with poppies:"Oh, is that so?" |
46933 | There were my beloved Goethe and Schiller-- should I start with them? |
46933 | This is a cigar- cutter''s knife-- a curious weapon, is n''t it? |
46933 | This is a literal account of what they said:"When is the exam?" |
46933 | This other raven--""Belonged to Barnaby Rudge, I suppose?" |
46933 | This pretty little pair of scissors? |
46933 | This stone- headed club is my oldest specimen-- it belonged to Ab-- you know his story, no doubt? |
46933 | This the library?" |
46933 | Two dozen? |
46933 | Two high- school students, at once:"Can I get''The Merchant of Venice''in the Rolfe edition?" |
46933 | Two women:"Oh, what''s he putting out the lights for? |
46933 | WHY NOT GET RID OF THEM? |
46933 | Well, how will this one do? |
46933 | Well, look it up in the catalogue.... Oh, ask Miss Anderson to come back.... Is that you, Miss Anderson? |
46933 | Well, where is it, then? |
46933 | What are you staying so late for? |
46933 | What are you talking about? |
46933 | What does he think?" |
46933 | What does the course cover?" |
46933 | What does your Aunt Ella read? |
46933 | What in the name of common sense impelled their coach to put Sir John Falstaff at center? |
46933 | What is that? |
46933 | What on earth shall I do? |
46933 | What was his attitude toward it?" |
46933 | What would you like to know about her?" |
46933 | What you got?" |
46933 | What''s that, Central? |
46933 | What''s the matter with that girl at central? |

46933 | What? |
46933 | When are you goin''to get it?" |
46933 | When that point has been reached with real ghosts, what can be expected of the fictitious ones? |
46933 | Where did you get all this?" |
46933 | Where is Miss Anderson? |
46933 | Where is he? |
46933 | Where''s Mrs. Bunkum? |

46933 | Who was the author?" |
46933 | Who''s he? |
46933 | Who, indeed, but poor, despised Benny Bilkins, the village idiot? |
46933 | Why did n''t yer get''By England''s Aid''?" |
46933 | Why do n''t you take some of her books?" |
46933 | Why do n''t you use your influence with him to lead him toward truthfulness? |
46933 | Why does n''t she call''em sunflowers? |
46933 | Why, do you know that the author is President of Harvard University?" |
46933 | Why, what do you think he told me last week?" |
46933 | Why, what''s the matter with this index? |
46933 | Why, whatever do you find to do with yourselves down there? |
46933 | Why, you read all the books that come into the library, do n''t you?" |
46933 | Will not some of them dig up one or two of the old characters we have been discussing, and see if they can not send the thermometer up a few degrees? |
46933 | Will you hold the line, please?" |
46933 | Will you look it up, please? |
46933 | Would I like it?" |
46933 | Would you like to see them?" |

46933 | Yes? |

46933 | You''ll just let me take it, wo n''t you?" |
46933 | You''re sure you do n''t remember the one I want?" |
46933 | You''ve_ quite_ recovered from that dreadful illness you had last fall? |
46933 | _ Now_, you can remember what book it was, ca n''t you, Miss Patterson?" |
46933 | do you suppose any of those are sunflowers?" |
46933 | inquired Mrs. Mayo, eagerly,"What is it?" |
