717Madrecita Carmen,she asked,--"quien entonces hizo el mar?"
717Plait- il?
717( What ails thee?)
717( who then made the sea?).
717--"Aie, aie!--c''est tout, ca?--to maman te jamain pele li daut''chose?"
717--"All correct, boys?"
717--"Comment ye te pele to maman, piti?"
717--"Esta muerta, Feliu?"
717--"Et comment ye te pele to papa, chere?"
717--"Italiano?
717--"M''sieu- le- Docteur, maman d''mande si vous n''avez besoin d''que''que chose?"
717--"Madrecita Carmen,"she asked,"is my mamma dead?"
717--"Madrecita,"she asked again,--her young eyes growing vast with horror,--"is my own mamma now like That?"
717--"Nothing I can bring you?"
717--"Who knows?"
717--"Zouzoune?
717... Carmen, did you know Adele,--Adele Florane?
717... Had the grave sent forth a Shadow to haunt him?--could the perfidious Sea have yielded up its dead?
717... Tell me, darling, your name;... tell me who you are?"
717... Was that why it had not overtaken and devoured her when she ran back in fear from the sudden reaching out of its waves?
717... What was it-- that story about the little Creole girl saved from Last Island,--that story which was never finished?
717... Who was it had asked her the same question, in another idiom ever so long ago?
717Before long she could prattle to Feliu;--she would watch for his return of evenings, and announce his coming with"Aqui viene mi papacito?"
717But from whence?
717Carmen felt a great sinking at her heart: was her new- found darling to be taken so soon from her?
717Could it possibly--?
717Could she come?
717Creator of Heaven and Earth?
717Does any one here know anything about her?"
717Et comment to maman te pele to papa?--dis ca a moin, chere?"
717He grew to love her like his own;--was she not indeed his own, since he had won her from death?
717He raised himself upon his elbow, rubbed his eyes, and asked her, with exasperating calmness,"Que tienes?
717If that was his wife,--the little brown Carmen,--whence Chita''s sunny hair?
717More dead?
717Noiseless because heavy, clammy,--thick, warm, sickening-- blood?
717Of what avail to lament the prospective devastation of cane- fields,--to discuss the possible ruin of crops?
717Qui ca?"
717Strange he had deemed it day!--why, it was black, starless... And it was growing queerly cold...... How should he ever find her now?
717Suppose some of you who know French talk to her a bit... Laroussel, why do n''t you try?"
717Then he asked, in a deep voice:--"Has traido al Doctor?"
717Then he was gone... Whither?
717Thin streams of water were spreading over the level planking,--curling about the feet of the dancers... What could it be?
717Thus far....?
717Viosca?--who ever knew a Viosca with such hair?
717Was it because God was then asleep-- could not hear, did not see, until too late?
717Was it not at her that it strove to rush, muttering, and showing its white teeth,... just because it knew that she was all by herself?
717Was it only the wind- blown pollen of some innocuous plant?
717Was not Ramirez wiser?
717Well might the land quake for the weight of such a tide!--Why did Adele speak Spanish?
717Were not Nature''s coincidences more wonderful than fiction?
717What could it be?
717What could it be?
717What did she gain?
717What had she lost of life by her swift translation from the dusty existence of cities to the open immensity of nature''s freedom?
717Where was Laroussel now?
717Who prayed for him?
717Who was he to see soon?--"qui done, Laroussel?"
717Who was she?--who was her Julien?
717Who was this Viosca?
717Why did it return, that night of all nights, to kiss her, to cling to her, to nestle in her arms?
717Why had he refrained from returning it?
717Why had not Laroussel killed him then?
717Why should he live to remember, to suffer, to agonize?
717Would it even be possible to reach the sufferer''s bedside in time?
717Yet she?--might he not dare to ring for her even by day?
717Zouzoune qui, chere?"
717answered Sparicio..."Y el viejo?"
717bad weather?--"Comment un mauvais temps?"
717had been rescued from the sea and carried round all the world unscathed?
717he answered, at last;--"who knows?
717higher yet?
717que tienes?"
717she asked,--"some fresh milk?"
717that he should be made to suffer thus?--was it for this he had been permitted to live?
717what is that?"
35487A what?
35487And you admit it?
35487And you''re in jail on account of some muskrats?
35487Andrew Gates?
35487Any owls theah now?
35487Are they penned?
35487But wo n''t they raise the dickens when the breakup comes?
35487Can you wait a while? 35487 Did he steal from you?"
35487Did he threaten you?
35487Did n''t do what?
35487Do you have some?
35487Do you know every pond and every foot of stream?
35487Do you want me to read it to you?
35487Give ya a heap of trouble?
35487Got one, huh?
35487Have you been to the State Police?
35487Have you ever been arrested before?
35487Have you nothing to say in your own defense?
35487How do you know the breakup''s coming?
35487How many more days you got?
35487How much did he promise you?
35487How''s yo''mushrats doin'', Andy?
35487I take it you do n''t think they''re your social equals?
35487I take it you know they''s owls in the swamp, Andy?
35487Idiot? 35487 If he was caught with muskrat pelts, would n''t it be proof that he stole them from me?"
35487Independent little devil, are n''t you?
35487Is n''t there anything I can do?
35487Is the swamp posted?
35487Is your dad home, Lois?
35487Mr. Harris is n''t here now, Luke, but I suppose it''s all right for you to take them?
35487Muskrats?
35487No,Andy admitted,"but suppose I post it and someone trespasses?
35487Owls?
35487Really?
35487So?
35487Suppose they steal?
35487Then how can you claim they''re yours?
35487Then how would you expect to convince a judge or justice? 35487 They say,"the waiter pursued his interrogation,"that you and another guy fought over some muskrats?"
35487This Trull-- seems to me I''ve seen his name on our records-- what''s he want there?
35487Time to be moving, huh?
35487Well,the trooper''s voice was edged with sarcasm,"what do you think they might steal?"
35487Well-- has someone tried to stop you?
35487Well?
35487What are you aiming to do here, fella?
35487What are you doing here?
35487What are you in for?
35487What do you mean?
35487What you want of Ira''n me?
35487What''s it about?
35487What''s wrong?
35487What?
35487Who told you?
35487Why?
35487Will a trespass sign keep Luke Trull out of any place he wants to go into?
35487Would you mind letting me pick them up after dark?
35487Wu''th a heap of money, ai n''t they?
35487You assaulted this Trull character?
35487You et?
35487You-- you wo n''t hurt the kittens?
35487Yours was a wilful attack?
35487All I come out for was to see why ya fo''got to ask me?"
35487And why was he forever getting ideas and fancies which no one else seemed ever to entertain?
35487But what could he do and who would listen?
35487But when Luke Trull saw a possibility of earning money without working for it--?
35487But why had he not hidden the hat?
35487Do you know what I''d do?"
35487Do you understand?"
35487Has it occurred to you that your muskrat ranch will either have to be something pretty decent or else not worth bothering with?"
35487He asked suddenly,"What do you want in that swamp?"
35487How about some grub?"
35487How are you going to carry them?"
35487How did they know?
35487How do you like it, Gates?
35487How many you got all told?"
35487However, who could doubt that surplus kittens, for which there was no room in town, would be very well off in the hills?
35487If so, why?
35487Is there anything for me?"
35487It lacks an hour to their feeding time, but maybe I should feed them before they go?"
35487Johnny asked whimsically,"What are you going to do with''em, Andy?"
35487Justice Benton glanced briefly at the papers pertaining to the case and turned to Andy,"How does the defendant plead?"
35487Letting the hat speak for him, had he announced to Andy that he, Luke Trull, was stealing muskrats and there was nothing Andy could do about it?
35487Or did he want a meeting in the swamp?
35487Suddenly a crisp voice asked,"Is your name Gates?"
35487They''s mushrats, ai n''t they?"
35487Was it his way of jeering?
35487What are they, Andy?"
35487What can I do?"
35487What have they stolen?"
35487What''s on your mind?"
35487What''s the penalty?"
35487Who but a fool would try to get what he wanted with a gun when it was much easier and safer to think his way through to it?
35487Why did n''t you take them in at night and plant them back in the swamp?
35487Why do you need my advice?"
35487Why should he have sensed a powerful bond between the kitten and himself?
35487Why would I hurt''em when I told the Mister I''d take''em?"
35487Why, when he saw Andy coming, had he not taken off his hat and hidden it?
35487Will posting the swamp help?"
35487Will two dollars extra be all right?"
35487Will you loan me one?"
35487Wonder how he got his nose dug that way?"
35487Would pen- raised muskrats be able to survive the unfamiliar perils?
35487Ye allus mess''round this swamp, an''what''ll folks think when ye jest do n''t come out?"
35487You''d just as soon keep it private, huh?"
35487You''re gittin''twenty mo''these mushrats?"
11514And if there are none in the market every day?
11514And that is why you stand here-- to see her, too?
11514And the gumbo?
11514And why not Journel?
11514But how could I know there were mushrooms in the market? 11514 But the natural-- the inevitable-- do we not sometimes, I wonder, perform them as Jules does his accidents?"
11514But what do you mean now, Jules?
11514But what does he mean? 11514 But where have you been?
11514Come, wo n''t you tell me how this came to be a miracle chapel?
11514Did you ever lie in your bed at night and dream of sheets? 11514 Did you know the widow woman?"
11514Did you never go inside to pray?
11514Do I ever give orders for one dinner, with the other one still on my lips?
11514Eh, madame?
11514Have you no mother?
11514How do you know it?
11514How long have you been coming here?
11514Is there anything to see inside?
11514Journel himself? 11514 My dear, do you know there is really such a thing as existence without a carriage and horses?"
11514What are you looking at so through the fence?
11514What do you live on?
11514What is this I hear? 11514 Where do you live?"
11514Where? 11514 Whose ticket?"
11514Why did not madame ask me? 11514 Will you be silent?
11514Would that count, ma''am? 11514 Yes, yes,"answered Mr. Horace, throwing himself back into his chair;"what secrets can there be at our age?"
11514''Am I God?
11514A DELICATE AFFAIR"But what does this extraordinary display of light mean?"
11514Am I not dressed?
11514Am I not up?
11514And Zepherin?
11514And as life rolls on, one wonders about them,--''Is she happy?
11514And how to prevent such popularity and prosperity?
11514And the friend?
11514And what is the news?"
11514But what does this mean?"
11514Ca n''t you help me, little Mammy?"
11514Can I do miracles?
11514Could he avoid being happy with such eyes?
11514Do I go to market?"
11514Do n''t you think I could tell you when not to let him in without your asking?"
11514Do you hear, Honorine?"
11514Do you hear?"
11514Do you think I hire you to perform accidents for me?
11514Do you think it is amusing, to economize and economize, and sew and sew, just to go to a party to dance?
11514Does that count, too?
11514For do we not gather what we have not, and is not our own lacking our one motive?
11514Goes life well or ill with her?''"
11514Had he forgotten her?
11514Have I not breakfasted before nine?"
11514Honorine, busy in the breakfast- room:[ Illustration:"WHERE IS THAT IDIOT, THAT DOLT, THAT SLUGGARD, THAT SNAIL, WITH MY MAIL?"]
11514How do I know that the mail has not been tampered with?
11514How?
11514Is she miserable?
11514It is strange, is it not, when you consider my life and my rearing?"
11514It was n''t long before she became"little Mammy"to the grown folks too; and the newest inmates soon learned to cry:"Where''s little Mammy?"
11514Love?
11514Madame Joubert must have felt something of it,--she must have felt something of it,--for why should she volunteer?
11514Marry?
11514Men did absurd, undignified, preposterous things for her; and she?
11514No?
11514Notre Père qui est dans le ciel-- Qui a fait ce bruit?"
11514Or must I humiliate your papa?''
11514Remember?
11514Shall I let him in?"
11514She had committed it to memory, as all the others had done theirs; but how was she to know without the list if she had not forgotten something?
11514Ten?
11514The honesty of the officials?
11514Their contents appropriated?
11514Was not his grandfather the overseer on my father''s plantation?
11514What better, after all, can any of us do?
11514What could Pupasse say or do?
11514What did she not unconsciously throw into those last words?
11514What do you think would be said there to the messenger who craved patience of you?
11514What does madame desire?"
11514What does the idiot mean?
11514What is to prevent?
11514What secrets can there be at our age?"
11514What should girls go into society for otherwise but to meet their_ brun_ or their blond?
11514Which one?
11514Who ever heard of her forgetting?
11514Who in the world knows better than he the gulf between the real and the ideal, the limitations between the natural and the romantic?
11514Who in the world wants to look back on it?"
11514Who is to interpose?
11514Why did you not buy them?"
11514Will you listen?"
11514Would it be possible?
11514Would that count?
11514Would there be any place"("any rôle,"she said first)"in any of your asylums, in any of your charitable institutions, for me?
11514You are going to make a fool of yourself now when it is all over, because why?
11514You think I shall submit to have my mail tampered with by a Journel?
11514You think Journel would not do such a thing?
11514You think he did not have some inkling of them?
11514You think he is above it,_ hé_?
11514and am I the only one who had dreams?
11514but who wants to look back on it, my friend?
11514no?
45631And did n''t take it?
45631And your wife''s name before her marriage?
45631Are you going without a pass?
45631Captain, where''s Platt?
45631D''ye hear that?
45631Did n''t I tell you last night to get a keg of nails of Chapin?
45631Did you ever live there?
45631Did you write a letter for a colored man at that place to some gentleman in Saratoga Springs?
45631Do you see those pine trees yonder?
45631Hav''nt you asked that fellow, Armsby, to mail a letter for you at Marksville?
45631Have you a family?
45631He is rather a smart boy, ai n''t he?
45631How came you here?
45631How do you like_ tanning_?
45631How do you like_ tanning_?
45631How do you think you''ll get there?
45631How long have you owned this plantation,_ say_, you d----d nigger?
45631How would you like to work for me?
45631I say, who wrote that letter?
45631Now, then,inquired one of Tibeats''companions,"where shall we hang the nigger?"
45631Platt, do you know this gentleman?
45631Platt, you lying nigger,_ have_ I?
45631So, Platt, you''re tired of scraping cotton, are you? 45631 Stop a moment,"said he;"have you any other name than Platt?"
45631Wan''t you over to Shaw''s night before last?
45631Well, boy, where did you come from?
45631Well, how''s this?
45631Well, my boy, how do you feel now?
45631What did you say to Pats?
45631What is her_ price_? 45631 What is the matter with the nails?"
45631What is the matter?
45631What is your name?
45631What were your children''s names?
45631When did you last see him, and where is he?
45631Where are you going now, Platt?
45631Where do your niggers hold Christmas?
45631Where does William Ford live?
45631Where does he live?
45631Where does that gentleman live?
45631Where?
45631Which is the way to his place?
45631Who are you? 45631 Who are you?"
45631Who married you?
45631Who shipped_ that_ nigger?
45631Why, Platt, what put that into your head?
45631You have seen none of those in this part of the country, I presume?
45631You worked under Myers at Peter Tanner''s, did n''t you?
45631You''re the nigger,he said to me on my arrival--"You''re the nigger that flogged your master, eh?
45631Your name is Platt, is it?
45631''He that is writing for me--''Where did Bass work last summer?"
45631Ah, yes-- like to travel for your health, may be?
45631And what difference is there in the color of the soul?
45631Are all men created free and equal as the Declaration of Independence holds they are?"
45631But this question of_ Slavery_; what_ right_ have you to your niggers when you come down to the point?"
45631Did''nt he want you to hire him for an overseer?"
45631Goin''wid''em?
45631He must take me for a soft, to think he can come it over me with them kind of yarns, musn''t he?
45631How could I write a letter without any ink or paper?
45631How did you happen to get here?
45631If they do n''t know as much as their masters, whose fault is it?
45631Is every thing right because the law allows it?
45631It runneth as follows:"Who''s been here since I''ve been gone?
45631Now you d----d nigger,"he exclaimed,"why did you not tell me that when I bought you?"
45631Now, in the sight of God, what is the difference, Epps, between a white man and a black one?"
45631Now, who is it?"
45631O, de lor'', did''nt Platt pick his feet right up, tho'', hey?
45631Pointing towards Northup, standing a few rods distant, he demanded--"Do you know that man?"
45631Pray, what is it?"
45631So you''re going into the tanning business?
45631Soon Arthur would rejoin his family, and have the satisfaction of seeing his wrongs avenged: my family, alas, should I ever see them more?
45631Suppose they''d pass a law taking away your liberty and making you a slave?"
45631Talk about black skin, and black blood; why, how many slaves are there on this bayou as white as either of us?
45631They are held in bondage, generation after generation, deprived of mental improvement, and who can expect them to possess much knowledge?
45631Walking up to Bob, the sheriff inquired:"Where''s the boy they call Platt?"
45631We were busily at work in the afternoon, when I stopped suddenly and said--"Master Bass, I want to ask you what part of the country you came from?"
45631Were the events of the last few weeks realities indeed?--or was I passing only through the dismal phases of a long, protracted dream?
45631What had I done to deserve imprisonment in such a dungeon?
45631What have you got to say to that, ha?"
45631What was the meaning of these chains?
45631What would become of me?
45631What would become of them?
45631Where was I?
45631Where were Brown and Hamilton?
45631While hoeing by the side of Patsey, she exclaimed, in a low voice, suddenly,"Platt, d''ye see old Hog- Jaw beckoning me to come to him?"
45631Whither should I fly?
45631Who would befriend me?
45631Why could they not be purchased together?
45631Why do n''t you come forward?"
45631Why had I not died in my young years-- before God had given me children to love and live for?
45631Why not let her have one of her dear children?
45631Wonder if you know who he is?"
45631You would like to change your master, eh?
45631You''d call them feller citizens, I s''pose?"
45631You''re a''portant character-- you''re a great nigger-- very remarkable nigger, ai n''t ye?
45631You''re fond of moving round-- traveler-- ain''t ye?
45631You''re the nigger that kicks, and holds carpenter Tibeats by the leg, and wallops him, are ye?
45631_ Buy_ her?"
45631and"What is coming off to- night, Platt?"
45631what d''ye think?
45631what have you been doing up there?"
45631what''ll become of me?"
20438148''WON''T YER, PLEASE, SIR, SPELL DAT WORD OUT FUR ME SLOW?''"
20438An''Frances--? 20438 And Sir Roach paid for both dinners?"
20438And do n''t you mourn for her in your heart, Tamar?
20438And has n''t she had her funeral sermon yet, Tamar?
20438And how about his loving you?
20438And how are you going to soothe her, Tamar?
20438And how do you get on with my girls?
20438And so you have been recently married,I asked;"and how does your wife feel about the matter?
20438And so you sent for him-- and proposed to him, did you?
20438Bill? 20438 But tell me, Tamar, why did n''t Pompey take his bride to the church if they wanted a regular wedding?"
20438But why ai n''t you tellin''us what you give her?
20438Could you jedge of it, doctor? 20438 Do you, indeed?
20438Ef-- Brer Smiff''ll loan_ me_ dat nickel?
20438Full o''what? 20438 Have n''t I?
20438How did you know I was a- laughin''?
20438How much are them willer rockers, Mr. Lawson? 20438 How much did you say for the ice- pitcher, Rowton?
20438How you know she is?
20438I hope you are not in any new trouble, Moriah?
20438I know three''s a crowd,he called out cheerily as he presently drew rein,"but I ai n''t a- goin''to stay; I jest-- Why, where''s grandma?"
20438I suppose you know what it means?
20438I wonder how the cooking is in that State institution, Humphrey? 20438 If I remember aright, it was your gift of repartee that-- wasn''t it something of that sort which severed your connection with college?"
20438Is that so? 20438 It''s good Christmas do n''t come but once- t a year-- ain''t it, Jinny?
20438Mo''cancelized dis mornin'', is she?
20438Nor rattle a skeleton within its closet?
20438Nor your vote?
20438Now, who gwine fetch in de nex''wheel, my brothers, my sisters, my sinner- frien''s? 20438 Oh, my po''sinner- frien''s, does you want me ter tell yer?
20438P''opose to who, Mis''Gladys? 20438 Pete gwine wid me?
20438Pete is going with you, of course?
20438She did, did she? 20438 Sir?
20438Then how did you manage it, pray?
20438Well, Colonel, I hope you have enjoyed your dinner?
20438Well,''Pollo, how''s yo''case on Miss Lily comin''on?
20438What else could you expect for a man of_ aspirations_?
20438What''s she a- dosin''you for now, Enoch?
20438Which one do you consider yourself wearing, Humphrey, and which do you carry?
20438Why will you know it more than you know it now? 20438 Why would n''t you be a legal witness, Tamar?"
20438Why, Tamar, what relation on earth are you to Pompey''s former wife, I''d like to know?
20438Why, honey,he exclaimed,"where on earth?
20438Wo n''t yer,he added, after a pause--"won''t yer, please, sir, spell dat word out fur me slow tell I writes it down''fo''I forgits it?"
20438Wonder ef you would n''t call out a few dic''sh''nary words fur me, please, sir? 20438 You have forgotten that that commodity is its own reward?"
20438You have never disclosed to me, Humphrey, where you procured that piece of bric- à- brac?
20438You know dat grea''big silk paper butterfly dat you had on yo''_ pi_anner lamp, Miss Bettie? 20438 ''From his wife, Kitty''--what''s the matter with''affectionate wife''? 20438 Ai n''t it a beauty? 20438 An''plain''wife''comes cheapest of all? 20438 An''who was walkin''by her side all dat time, I like to know?
20438An''you know de reason I done tooken fo''days off, missy?
20438And how do you know that her spirit is n''t at rest?"
20438As he trudged in presently loaded up with the duplicate set he said,"I wonder ef you know what time it is, wife?"
20438At this Pierre turned, laughing, and said,"I s''pose you geeve''er somet''ing too, eh?"
20438Better put in the''lovin'',''I reckon, an''put it in capitals-- they do n''t cost no more, do they?
20438Both goblets go with it, you say-- an''the slop bowl?
20438But ai n''t it lucky thet he did n''t do it?
20438But do you see, by yon clock, that the dinner- hour approacheth?"
20438But has it not been rather well cared for?
20438But you gits dar all the same, do n''t yer Lady?
20438But you know some''h''n'', Marse John?
20438But''lovin''''''ll do jest ez well, an''it comes cheaper, you say?
20438Dar, now, we done turned de joke on all you yaller- creamers-- ain''t we, Lady?
20438Dat''s what I calls a high- tone word; ai n''t it, now, Marse John?"
20438Did it think I bought it for anybody else?
20438Did n''t it like the purty pitcher thet its old husband bought for it?
20438Did n''t you take notice to me a- liftin''my hat?
20438Do I hang up my stockin''?
20438Do n''t that fix it?"
20438Do you recall it, Humphrey?"
20438Do you smile because a trembling old man feasts his failing eyes on a fair woman''s face and prates of love and flowers and beauty?
20438Ef I was to pick out a half dozen socks for him like them you''re a- buyin''for Mr. Blakes, how much fun do you suppose we''d have out of it?
20438Ef you so biggoty, why do n''t you fool wid some o''dem horn cows?
20438Give out thet he''d hire the first ten that come, did he?
20438Have a smoke, Humphrey?"
20438Hit''s come ter dis, is it?
20438How can one compass a forty- rod focus within the limits of a twelve by sixteen foot room?
20438How can you pacify a person who is dead?
20438How could he expect to find anything so small as a pair of spectacles?
20438How in de kingdom come is you struck it de fust pop?
20438How''s that for quick adaptation?"
20438I been tryin''to fix my mouf to ax you is you got air ole crêpe veil you could gimme to wear to chu''ch nex''Sunday-- please, ma''am?

20438I had n''t quit when I got married, an''I think that''s a poor time to stop, do n''t you?
20438I''clare, I wonder what''s de sign when you blowin''one way an''a live coal come right back at yer''gins''de wind?"
20438If you and I had been reared under that system, now--""What, think you, would Bellamy the prophet have made of you, Humphrey?"
20438In Baton Rouge now, I believe?"
20438Is de salvation train done stallded right in front o''Claybank chu''ch, an''we ca n''t raise wheels ter sen''it on?
20438Is you''spondin''ter me, Lady?
20438It would not be convenient now, but would he not come down to the academy''s closing exercises in June-- a month later?
20438Nine dollars?
20438Now guess wha''dat is?"
20438Others followed so fast that when Jordan exclaimed,"Who gwine be de nex''?"
20438Reckon we got''nough ter go to law''bout, widout cuds-- ain''t we Lady?
20438She do n''t question you, does she?"
20438Sir?
20438That is, of its capabilities, I mean?"
20438Then, while he fanned her, he said,"Is dat so, Miss Lily, dat Mr. Pier is give you a buggy?
20438Was it too big-- or too little-- or too heavy for it to tote all the way out here from that high mantel?
20438Whar do dey git water ter run dis gorspil train?
20438What can she mean?
20438What can this be, I wonder?"
20438What have you got?
20438What you say, Mis''Blakes?
20438What''s that you say?
20438What''s the matter with havin''a pair of''em?
20438Where''ll I lay''em, wife, while I go out an''tend to lightin''that lantern?
20438Which do you think would be the nicest to give him, Mr. Lawson-- this silver card- basket, or that Cupid vase, or--?
20438Who can tell?
20438Who gwine fetch a wheel?
20438Who knows what this might have become under proper development?
20438Who sesso?
20438Why did n''t it wake up its lazy ol''man and make him pack it out here for it?"
20438Why does this hope- forsaken man carry a bunch of flowers?
20438Why, missy, how would it look fur me ter go a- skylarkin''roun''de country wid Pete--_an''me in mo''nin''_?
20438Will you?"
20438Without a moment''s reflection, Marshall, seizing at random upon the first word that presented itself, said,"How about_ ratiocination_?"
20438Wo n''t you all never git done a- runnin''me about that side- saddle?
20438Wonder what he''s been up to now?"
20438You ai n''t a ma''ied man, is yer?"

20438You say she admired that hand- merror, an''this pair o''side- combs-- an''she''lowed she''d git''em fur my Christmus gif''ef she dared?
20438[ Illustration:"''WON''T YER, PLEASE, SIR, SPELL DAT WORD OUT FUR ME SLOW?''"]
35300A joke on''em?
35300A poor one, after all? 35300 Air ye now?"
35300Am I?
35300Am I?
35300And, by the way, Olivia, where is the new species of young woman I was to see-- the daughter of the people who does not belong to her sphere?
35300Any particular author?
35300Are ye better?
35300Are you going to your room?
35300Are you tired of me?
35300Are_ you_ nothing?
35300At the first name?
35300Being laid----?
35300But why not?
35300DON''T YE, LOUISIANNY?
35300DON''T YE, LOUISIANNY?
35300Did not you tell me she lived in New York?
35300Do n''t ye, Louisianny?
35300Do n''t you love me any more? 35300 Do n''t you mind?"
35300Do n''t you see?
35300Do you know who John Stuart Mill is?
35300Do you promise?
35300Do you think I did it because I did not love him-- and respect him-- and think him better than all the rest of the world? 35300 Do you think that I kept up this pretense to- day because I was ashamed of him?"
35300Do you think,Miss Ferrol said, in further bewilderment,"that you might not like him?"
35300Do you,she continued, very slowly,"do-- you-- know-- anything-- about-- Worth?"
35300Does--guilelessly she inquired--"he make nice ones?"
35300Dresses an''things, Louisianny?
35300Father,she cried,"I want to tell you-- I want to tell you----""What?"
35300Father,she cried,"are you tired of me?"
35300For Casey to do?
35300From New York?
35300German, is it?
35300Has he been waiting long?
35300Have you a picture of him?
35300Have you been ill?
35300Have you ever seen her?
35300Have you never heard-- just_ heard_--of Ruskin?
35300He told you not to be unjust to_ me_?
35300Hev ye ben enjyin''yerself, Louisianny?
35300How could I help but be happy?
35300How could you?
35300How should you have liked it,he inquired, absent- mindedly,"if it had been Louisiana?"
35300How would you have liked it?
35300How would you like''Miss Rogers?''
35300I wonder how_ she_ would like to wear it?
35300Is all your love nothing? 35300 Is he a writer, too?"
35300Is it that you really do n''t like the idea? 35300 Is n''t it time that I should?"
35300Is that the way you are going to say good- by?
35300Is this dress very short- waisted?
35300Leave me?
35300Louise,she said, in a low, mysterious tone,"how would you like to wear dresses like mine all the rest of the time you are here?"
35300Louisianny,he said, hurriedly,"what''s agin it?
35300Louisianny,he said,"how-- would ye like to go to Europe?"
35300May I ask you to explain?
35300Me?
35300Miss Rogers, of course?
35300Must I go away?
35300Must I?
35300Nor of Michael Angelo?
35300Now, what d''ye think was the trouble, Louisianny?
35300Oh, why not?
35300Only maybe?
35300Perhaps my memory----"Ye do n''t?
35300She died when she was young, did n''t she?
35300Thar ai nt no call fur me to do nothin''else, is there-- just pretend I do n''t know ye?
35300They?
35300Tired of ye, Louisianny?
35300Tired of ye?
35300To New York?
35300Was it?
35300Was that very clever?
35300Was ye lonesome?
35300Well,said Miss Ferrol, smiling,"what is it?"
35300Whar?
35300What are the men kneeling down for, and why do they keep stopping to put on those queer little caps and things?
35300What are you thinking of?
35300What ca n''t last long?
35300What did he do?
35300What did she say to that?
35300What do ye want me to do?
35300What is it?
35300What is the matter?
35300What shall I do? 35300 What sort o''folks air they?"
35300What will they say when they see me at meeting in them?
35300What, Louisianny?
35300Where were they to come from?
35300Who are''they?''
35300Who is talking to him?
35300Who is that sitting with the driver?
35300Who is with him?
35300Who''s dar?
35300Who-- is he?
35300Why New York, more than another place?
35300Why are you laughing?
35300Why do n''t ye want me to go in the house?
35300Why do you speak in that way?
35300Why not come with me?
35300Why not?
35300Why not?
35300Why should I be unhappy? 35300 Why should I tell you that?"
35300Why should n''t ye hev things if ye want''em?
35300Why,he exclaimed,"your name is Louise, is n''t it?
35300Why?
35300Wo n''t you say a word to me?
35300Would ye like it to be thataway, Louisianny?
35300Ye ai nt as smart as ye was when last ye built, air ye?
35300Ye ai nt up yet?
35300Ye do n''t take much int''russ in it yet, do ye?
35300Ye was n''t oneasy, was ye?
35300You did not think I was that bad, did you?
35300You have a daughter?
35300You mean to read them all?
35300You never read''The Scarlet Letter?''
35300You remember what I said to you this morning?
35300''Do ye mean it, Jedge?''
35300''Why not?
35300And people ca n''t always have the same feelings, can they?
35300Are all your beautiful, good thoughts for my happiness''nothing''?
35300But at last he spoke:"Do n''t ye, Louisianny?"
35300Could you do without me for months and months and know I was far away and could n''t come to you?
35300Could you pilot us?
35300Did they think I would give your warm, good heart-- your kind, faithful heart-- for all they had learned, or for all they could ever learn?
35300Did ye think it?
35300Do n''t you want me as you used to?
35300Do they suit ye, Louisianny?"
35300Do you know the man who lives there?"
35300Fur instants, any littery man-- jest for instants, now?"
35300Have I broken your heart?
35300Have I ever been bad and cruel and hard to you that you can think it?"
35300I could sign myself Louise, could n''t I?"
35300I do n''t suppose queens have very much more, though we do n''t know much about queens, do we?"
35300I jest come to say I''lowed to do my plum best by ye, an''ax ye whether ye liked hop yeast or salt risin''?"
35300I wonder how old she is?"
35300I wonder who did it?
35300Is n''t that delicious?"
35300Is there any objection to our going,--in the last extremity?"
35300Is there any reason why you prefer the other?
35300Is there nothing in the way of my going away-- nothing?
35300Is your loneliness nothing?
35300Isn''t-- isn''t your brother different?"
35300Miss Ferrol answered her very composedly:"The name of the state?"
35300Or would ye druther set here?
35300Rogers?"
35300Shall I leave you here to live by yourself in the new home which is strange to you-- after you have given up the old one you knew and loved for me?
35300She spoke to a servant a little sharply:"Why not show the young lady into the parlor?"
35300That''s joke enough, is n''t it?
35300Thet thar''s a French name, ai nt it?
35300Was he a poet?"
35300Was it possible that she did not care that he should know where she lived?
35300Was thar anybody thar as didn''t-- well, as did n''t show ye respect-- as was slighty or free or-- or onconsiderate?
35300Whar hev ye bin?"
35300What do you think of him?"
35300What shall I do?"
35300When he was going away he stopped suddenly to say:"How was it you never mentioned her in your letters?
35300Who was Worth?
35300Why did n''t I know of it before?"
35300Why do n''t you laugh?"
35300Why not?"
35300Why should n''t she wish us to know where she lives?"
35300Why should you come here?
35300Why should you?
35300Why,''ses he,--he ses it hisself, Louisianny,--''why do n''t ye send her to Europe?
35300Why?"
35300Will God ever forgive me?
35300Would you believe it?"
35300Ye haint ben in North Ca''liny before, hev ye?"
35300he cried,"what shall I say to you?
35300inquired Olivia,"or authors as a class?"
35300said the girl,"only maybe, father?"
35300she cried,"have I broken your heart?
35300she whispered,"do you-- do you think they know?"
35300what has made you think I have no heart, and no soul, and nothing to be grateful with?

27779And how much have you ponies got?"
27779And then he said, seizing his pocket:"Is you got air pair o''scissors, lady?"
27779And then he turned to the boy:"What have you got on, sir?"
27779And what are you telling me for?"
27779And who''d cook the dinner, not to mention buying it?"
27779And,"Where do flowers go to when they die?"
27779Besides, ca n''t we set the dish- mats over the holes?
27779Besides, how could turtle- eggs have gotten there anyway?
27779But ai n''t you''feerd you''ll los''yo''self, gwine''way down town at night?"

27779Did n''t the Frey children do every bit of the house- work, not to mention little outside industries by which the older ones earned small incomes?
27779Did n''t you, Blink?
27779Did you git de dinner, sho''''nough?"
27779Do n''t yer pray?
27779Do n''t yer see me eatin''''em?
27779Do n''t you want me ter tote''er_ yo''sheer_?"
27779Do you remember how greedy you always were about pecan- stuffing?
27779Do you think that we''d better send for her to come back, Momsy?"
27779Goodness me, why do n''t you stop it?
27779Had not this very feeling made it hard for him to part with it?
27779Had they doubted it?
27779How did it happen, child?"
27779How much money have we?
27779How you yo''se''f, my man?"
27779How''d that do?"

27779I wonder how many butterflies owe their lives to that gun?
27779I wonder what sort o''white folks dis here tar- baby o''mine done strucken in wid, anyhow?
27779If we could not trace our honesty back to our mothers, how many of us would love the truth?
27779Is dat so?"
27779Is yer axed yo''pa yit?"
27779Is you''shamed o''yo''country voice, honey, an''tryin''ter ketch a French crow?
27779Mrs. Frey carried her pencil and notes, and she looked tired, but she smiled indulgently as she repeated,"What am I to veto, dearies-- or to approve?"
27779Or,"How you reckon yo''angel- twin feels ef he''s a- lookin''at you now?"
27779Should the Riffraffs fire upon the fleet, surely guns would answer, else what was war?
27779So she gwine scrape de Christmas plates fur me, is she?
27779Was dat a gun?
27779Was her father''s mind not only enfeebled, but going?
27779Was it any wonder that FÃ © licie and Dorothea, seeing this, did actually disgrace the whole party by convulsions of laughter?
27779Was it not, in fact, a formal confession that he was nearing the end of his days?
27779Was it possible that she had read but half the truth?
27779Wh- wh- why, baby, what sort o''funny, cuyus way is you a- talkin'', anyhow?"
27779Whar me?"
27779Whar you gwine git roas''chicken, nigger?"

27779What did this mean?
27779What does it matter, black or white or red, if one is loved?
27779What else is you et to- day, boy?"
27779What have you heard, mammy?"
27779What merit entitling it to special consideration had the little story?
27779What yer gwine do wid it, baby?"
27779What you lookin''at me so quizzical fur, Juke?
27779What you say, missy?
27779What''s dat?
27779What''s dis heah?
27779When the days are dark, what is so depressing as an anniversary-- an anniversary joyous in its very essence?
27779Where are we truly, daughter?
27779Who could be poorer than she?"
27779Why not slip a few of these tempting eggs into the bottom of the basket and cover them up with ripe figs?
27779Whyn''t you ax fur des one_ lagniappe_ o''sugar- plums, baby, bein''s it''s Christmas?
27779Would n''t she have taken her own ducklings there?

27779[ Illustration:"''DE CATS?
12577Am I not very wicked?
12577And I, Joseph?
12577And is that the way you think of the men of your own blood and race?
12577And that''s the way you pay us for taking you in, is it? 12577 And the doctor?"
12577And the doctor?
12577And this?
12577And this?
12577And where do you come from this way?
12577Are you colored?
12577Ashore? 12577 But thou-- thou, Joseph; what can I do without thee?
12577But what of that?
12577But where?
12577But would you have imagined, madame, that all he had was barely three thousand dollars?
12577Children,she cried,"tell me, I pray you, who taught you that duet?"
12577Did you see the dogs?
12577Did you write it during the late war?
12577Do n''t you know, my dear sir, that at one turn of my hand this dog will strangle you like a chicken? 12577 Do n''t you think you''re rather hard on Pemberton?
12577Do you fear a storm, Joseph?
12577Do you know her?
12577Do you see this splendid house? 12577 Do you sing?"
12577Do you think,one asked of the janitress,"that mere fright and the loss of that comb made this strong girl ill?"
12577Do yours know it?
12577H., do you think these can be the Federal soldiers?
12577Had she not other old and valuable manuscripts?
12577Has the owner been consulted?
12577Have I not done so as soon as you rung? 12577 Heard the news?"
12577Here, Montreuil, and you, Fernandez, will you go to the garret and search? 12577 How can you speak so plainly before them?"
12577How long have you been on the way?
12577I am busy,he said, in the Creole- negro_ patois_,"but-- has anybody-- has anything happened to-- to anybody in Madame Brouillard''s house?"
12577I wonder,said Annie,"when I shall ever have nicely starched clothes after these?
12577Is he here?
12577Is it true about the surrender?
12577Is that so, general?
12577Max, what interest has a man like you, without slaves, in a war for slavery? 12577 Mrs. L.,"she said, turning to me,"are you not going to send your husband?
12577My poor Léontine,replied the teacher,"what can I do?
12577So, Mike, you are really going to be a soldier?
12577So, my dear Suzanne,responded Alix,"you would not marry--""A man not my equal-- a workman?
12577That''s my kind, considerate wife,replied Mr. D."Why did n''t I think of that before?
12577To whom will you carry the first letter, papa?
12577Understand?
12577Very loud?
12577Was that all?
12577Well, is the war over?
12577Well,said Madame Karl,"if you know her, who is she?"
12577Well?
12577What can this mean, H.? 12577 What did you fire that pistol for?
12577What do you mean?
12577What do you mean?
12577What do you want me to do with that?
12577What do you want?
12577What does all this mean?
12577What is it, dear Joseph?
12577What is it?
12577What is the matter, Bessie?
12577What is the news?
12577What room is that?
12577What shall I be in France? 12577 What the devil of a language is that?"
12577Where are your brothers? 12577 Where can he be found?"
12577Where do you come from?
12577Where?
12577Who has done this?
12577Who is that?
12577Who knows?
12577Who lives here?
12577Who,asked Suzanne,"is Tréville de Saint Julien?"
12577Why did n''t you open the door?
12577Why do n''t the rest come?
12577Why do you fear so?
12577Why, G., do n''t you know whom you''ve been sitting at table with?
12577Why, what matter? 12577 Will he furnish another house also?"
12577Will your wife think so?
12577Wish to search for arms? 12577 You are right, madam; and besides, when our women are so willing to brave death and endure discomfort, how can we ever be conquered?"
12577You felt with the South at first; who has changed you?
12577You go away? 12577 You, madame?"
12577_ Li bien malade_,she whispers, weeping;"he is very ill.""---- wants to make his will?"
12577..."Well, H.,"I questioned, as we walked home after crossing the lake,"can you stand the pressure, or shall you be forced into volunteering?"
1257710 is gone?"
12577A negro said"Who are you?
12577Accuse a man of crime because he steps out of his own house to look at the weather?
12577All this was said to the back of Attalie''s head and neck; but now the speaker touched her with one finger:"Madame, are your lodgers all up town?"
12577And Joseph?
12577And another said,"Here is Neville, so who will replace him at the side of the pretty widow?"
12577And did you know, by yourself, what we were going to do?"
12577And if she was insane, then why did not her frequent guests at table suspect it?
12577And if so, was it much, or was it so little as to make it hardly worth while for the Englishman to die early at all?
12577And my father?
12577And now--"The first inquiry,"so reads the chief- justice--"the first inquiry that engages our attention is, What is the color of the plaintiff?"
12577And you may well think, too, that my father had no sooner spoken of his intention than Suzanne cried:"I am going with you, am I not, papa?"
12577Are the populace turning out to greet the despised conquerors?"
12577Are they sufficient to justify me in declaring the plaintiff to be identical with the German child in question?
12577Are you ready, madame?"
12577At college still?"
12577At such a time?"
12577Aunt Judy goes about in a dignified silence, too full for words, only asking two or three times,"W''at I dun tole you fum de fust?"
12577Before that?
12577But later I thought,"Even so, what then?
12577But the girl rose up and answered:"Must I go to school with my own servants to escape an unmerited disdain?"
12577But the kneeling figure hesitated, with intense distress in her upturned face:"What are you going to do, Michié Ducour?"
12577But was that all; or did she stand above and beyond the demands of law and popular sentiment?
12577But who would have thought it-- a laboring gardener lover of his lord''s daughter?
12577But who, then, wrote the smaller manuscript?
12577By the way, she wrote the journey, and very prettily; what have you done with it?
12577Ca n''t I have yours, G.?
12577Can you believe it, my daughter, that was the first time my sister and I had ever seen artificial flowers?
12577Carpentier?"
12577Could anything be offered by Mr. Grymes and his associates to offset that?
12577Do n''t you see four of us here armed to the teeth, and at another signal our comrades yonder ready to join us in an instant?
12577Do we dare draw upon fancy?
12577Do you forget that you''re in my power?"
12577Do you know the price of these things?"
12577Do you see those attic windows?
12577Do you think so?"
12577Does she want to see bloodshed this evening?"
12577From first to last I mentioned no name, but at the end I asked:"Now, can you tell me the name of the notary in that case?"
12577Has n''t Pemberton acted like a fool?"
12577He glanced at the stranger, and turning to his wife asked:"Is not that one of the girls who was lost?"
12577He speaks to them:"I am told"--so and so--"can it be?
12577He told you?
12577How are you going to do it?
12577How can they ever take a town that has such advantages for defense and protection as this?
12577How, if the girl was sold to Mrs. Canby, his mother-- how is it that Belmonti bought her of Miller himself?
12577How?"
12577I asked; and when he could answer nothing on account of his emotion, I rose, crying:"More bad news?
12577I could not fully rouse at first, but curiosity conquered at last, and I called H."Listen to that running water; what is it?"
12577I have nothing, and if it turns out that he has very, very little-- It is true that I sent for you, but-- I did not think you-- what must you charge?"
12577I turned to Charles du Clozel, who sat beside me, and said:"That is the Countess de la Houssaye, is n''t it?"
12577I wonder if it is to keep up their spirits?
12577If I was afraid at sight of a dozen savages among the Spaniards of Plaquemine, what was to become of me now?
12577If she was insane, how about her husband?
12577In a word, to whom was she honest, faithful; to the Englishman merely, or actually to herself?
12577Is Dr. Lalaurie''s hand in this?
12577Is n''t it astonishing?
12577Is not that a copyist''s repetition?
12577It wraps me like a soft garment; how else can I express this peace?"
12577Judge Canonge confronts Doctor Lalaurie again:"Are there slaves still in your garret, Monsieur?"
12577L.?"
12577Later the weather improved, and several young gentlemen came to visit us...."Will there be a supper, chevalier?"
12577May I come for you?"
12577Me perhaps the Countess Madelaine might welcome affectionately; but Joseph?
12577Nearly all the world has given up slavery; why ca n''t the South do the same and end the struggle?
12577Need I recount the joy of my mother and sisters?
12577No cat, no draft, you and----exchange a silent smile and rather like the mystery; but do you know?
12577No one wept, but in saying good- bye to my father, my mother asked:"Pierre, how are you going to return?"
12577Now whom shall they be?
12577Now, my daughter, do you know what camayeu was?
12577Poor people and children had to make shift with thorns of orange and_ amourette_[ honey locust?].
12577Presently Mr. J. passed and called:"Are n''t you coming, Mr. L.?
12577She kept furnished rooms to rent-- as a matter of course; what would she do?
12577Some one near me said,"Do you know who will escort Madame du Rocher to the ball?"
12577The notary turned his goggles upon the reclining figure and asked in English, with a strong Creole accent:"What is your name?"
12577The preacher''s text was,"Shall we have fellowship with the stool of iniquity which frameth mischief as a law?"
12577The question followed:"What is there in the features of a colored person that designates them to be such?"
12577The servants''quarters-- but where are the servants?
12577Their inmates sit chatting in every sort of mood over the day''s sensation, when-- what is this?
12577Thence arose the other question-- had the Englishman any money?
12577There are good''colored''schools in the city; would it not have been wiser for your father to send you to one of them?"
12577There had been nine slaves besides the coachman; where were the other two?
12577These names may sound inexact, but_ can you prove_ that these were not their names and occupations?
12577They were taken from her and-- liberated?
12577Thin and hollow- chested-- the slaves?
12577To_ which_ case do you_ riffer?
12577Was n''t that-- interesting?
12577Was she not insane?
12577Well?
12577Were you not convinced?"
12577What do you suppose is my age?"
12577What do you think?"
12577What do you want?"
12577What has happened to my nurse- mother?
12577What is her name?"
12577What news?"
12577What next?
12577What next?"
12577What proof is there in this dark hour that they are not right?
12577What shall we do?"
12577What signal are you giving?"
12577What sustains you when nobody agrees with you?"
12577When I answered:"Well, what do you expect?
12577Where did that dress-- these jewels, come from?"
12577Where, now, can you find such profusion?
12577Who knows but I may take this place?"
12577Who knows?"
12577Who was going to begin such an inquiry-- John Fitz Miller?
12577Why had Williams never come back either for the slave or for the proceeds of her sale?
12577Why have you accustomed me to your tenderness, to your protection, and now come threatening to leave me?
12577Why is it so easy for them and not for me to"ring out the old, ring in the new"?
12577Why just here?
12577Will you go to the belvedere?
12577Will you speak to Monsieur or to Madame?"
12577Would she get his money, or any of it?
12577Yes, to be sure: but how about your rich uncle, or my dear old mother: are they not hollow- chested?
12577You did not know that I was his secret confidential adviser?
12577You go away?"
12577You know he was always afraid he would die some day suddenly?
12577You remember I have often told you of an awning stretched at the stern of the flatboat?
12577You want better?"
12577_ April 28th, 1863_.--What shall we eat?
12577almost stuttering from surprise and anger,"are you aware I had the right to break down this door if you had n''t opened it?"
12577and wherewithal shall we be clothed?
12577at sixteen you do n''t know what the white chapel is?
12577but, Which race shall exclusively rule the other, race by race?
12577cried Celeste,"but what will Tonton say when she sees you?"
12577inquired H."Are arrangements for surrender made?"
12577what shall we drink?
12577what''s this?"
12577why am I not dead?
12577you have not, yourself, already?"
46091Whar''s Paul?
46091''Top; you look, you Wahnotee; you see dis rag, eh?
46091Ai n''t that a cure for old age; it kinder lifts the heart up, do n''t it?

46091And so you really kept those foolish letters?

46091Do you know what that is?
46091Do you know what the niggers round here call that sight?
46091Do you mean that I''m a pig?
46091Enter_ Lafouche_ and_ Jackson, L._ Jackson._ How long before we start, captain?
46091George, dear George, do you love me?
46091George, do you see that hand you hold?
46091Good day, Mr. Thibodeaux-- shall we drive down that way?
46091Has not my dear aunt forgotten it-- she who had the most right to remember it?
46091Have I slept upon the benefits I received, and never saw, never felt, never knew that I was forgetful and ungrateful?
46091Have n''t you worked like a horse?
46091He loves me-- what of that?
46091How are we sure the boy is dead at all?
46091How came they in your possession?

46091Is it on such evidence you''d hang a human being?
46091Is the prisoner guilty, or is he not guilty?
46091Is there any other bid?
46091Is this a dream-- for my brain reels with the blow?
46091Is your heart free?

46091yes, plenty of''em; bill of costs; account with Citizens''Bank-- what''s this?
46091you love me?
32225''Do I understand you, sir? 32225 A share?
32225A sweet Sabbath morning, is it not? 32225 Ah, Brother Levis,"said Rosie coaxingly,"you surely will not be so unkind as to require lessons of us to- morrow?"
32225Ah, Rosie, my bonnie lassie, how can you treat your auld kinsman so ill as to suspect him of murdering the king''s English in that style?
32225Ah, did I do that?
32225Ah, do you really think so, sir?
32225Ah, sir, who is to say he belonged to this part of the world?
32225Ah, what was that, sir?
32225Ah, yes, a rather intimate acquaintance of yours, sir, is he not?
32225Ah?
32225Ai nt I fooled ye nice, now? 32225 And Andrew Jackson was the commanding general?"
32225And I may choose it myself?
32225And begin to feel yourself something of a man, since you are not called Max, but Mr. Raymond at the Academy yonder?
32225And did the Americans chase them that time, sir?
32225And did they do it, sir?
32225And did they go on firing at the fort?
32225And may I too, papa?
32225And oh, papa, may n''t we run about everywhere and look at everything?
32225And our fellows fired back at him, of course?
32225And the more we love him, the more we will try to be like him?
32225And the victory was won then, papa?
32225And this was in the fall of 1814, was it not, captain?
32225And was Gansevoort alone with them, papa?
32225And was that the end of the fight, papa?
32225And were many of them killed, sir?
32225And when then did we get possession of Florida, sir?
32225And where are the foes who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war, and the battle''s confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more? 32225 And where was Butler all this time, sir?"
32225And will you drive over with me, Art?
32225And you are just as willing to let me keep near you, papa?
32225And you have left Max at the Academy again?
32225And you will ask him for both of us, wo n''t you, papa?
32225Are the ladies and girls all gone?
32225Are those lessons ready, daughter?
32225Brother Levis,said Rosie,"you surely are not going to be so unreasonable and tyrannical as to require lessons of us to- day?"
32225But Burgoyne never got there-- to Albany-- until he went as a prisoner; did he, sir?
32225But I suppose there is something to be seen here?
32225But I suppose you will hardly think it necessary to decline the invitation on that account?
32225But did any of our men escape being killed, sir?
32225But sha n''t I drive him out, sir?
32225But then you''ll let him have something to eat, wo n''t you, papa?
32225But to change the subject: when shall we take that delightful trip to New Orleans? 32225 But was n''t there some fighting done there or at Mobile in the Civil War, sir?"
32225But who gained the victory, papa?
32225But, papa, I''ll never be able to learn the lessons before dinner time, and I am hungry now; are you going to make me fast till I recite perfectly?
32225Dartmoor, papa?
32225Did he live to see the end of the war, sir?
32225Did n''t Jackson capture Pensacola at one time during that war with England, Captain?
32225Did n''t you, now?
32225Did the British give it up then, papa?
32225Did the men in the fort give up then, papa?
32225Did they do no fighting at all at the time, sir?
32225Did they let him be mayor again, papa?
32225Did you get leave for him to stay all day, papa?
32225Do I?
32225Do you know her, Art? 32225 Does it?
32225Does my dear eldest daughter deem that a privilege?
32225Especially when enjoyed in such good company, I presume?
32225Firstly, then, are we to have school as usual between this and the time of the wedding?
32225For what?
32225Gracie, my darling, do you not want to go to your bed?
32225Gracie,said Lulu,"how much money have you left?"
32225Had a royal time of it, I suppose?
32225Had he lost many of his men that day, sir?
32225Had not the British made very sure beforehand of being able to take Baltimore, Captain?
32225Has some special good come to you, dear?
32225Have n''t you lessons to say to- day?
32225Here,returned Gracie;"do n''t you see I''ve got her in my arms?
32225Hull, Bainbridge, Porter-- where are they? 32225 I am sure nobody else is,"said Walter;"so please go on, sir, wo n''t you?
32225I have n''t been misbehaving, have I? 32225 I hope he was n''t allowed to do as he pleased about it?"
32225I hope you did n''t stay at home just to hear my lessons, papa?
32225I should think that was a great victory; was it not, Brother Levis?
32225I suppose there was an exchange of prisoners?
32225I, laddie? 32225 In regard to what, daughter?"
32225Including your pupils in the list, I presume, sir?
32225Is anybody else going, papa?
32225Is anything wrong with her?
32225Is it almost as lovely here as at Viamede?
32225Is mamma ready for dinner, Elsie?
32225Is she ill?
32225Is that what is meant in those verses?
32225It happened in the War of 1812, did n''t it?
32225It is, what does the Bible mean by growing in grace?
32225It was attacked by the British, was n''t it, sir?
32225It will be returning good for evil, as the Bible bids us; wo n''t it, papa?
32225Max''s?
32225Maxie dere too, papa?
32225May I not assist you to your room?
32225NOW, papa, if you''re not too tired wo n''t you please tell us about the writing of the''Star- Spangled Banner''?
32225Not a single cent,was the reply in a rather rueful tone;"and I suppose yours is all gone too?"
32225Nothing to be bought for the gentlemen, I suppose?
32225Now, Brother Levis, if you''re not too tired, wo n''t you please go on and tell us all about the taking of New Orleans in the last war?
32225O Virgie, did he die as he had lived?
32225Oh, Mamma Vi, is n''t it just delightful to be at home again?
32225Oh, do you know him, sir?
32225Oh, do you think so?
32225Oh, it is an earthly paradise, is it not, Ned?
32225Oh, may I go and get her some, papa?
32225Oh, papa,exclaimed little Elsie, seated upon her father''s knee,"may n''t I send dem some of my dollies?"
32225Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn''s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight''s last gleaming? 32225 Oh, was n''t everybody terribly frightened, papa?"
32225Oh, would papa never give her an opportunity to speak to him?
32225Oh,cried Lu in surprise,"we are at anchor again in the river at Annapolis, are n''t we, papa?"
32225Papa, did you know they could talk?
32225Papa, do you think a dollar will be enough for me to give the Forestis?
32225Papa, is it wrong to wear nice, pretty clothes, and to enjoy having them?
32225Papa, is that the end of your story?
32225Papa, may I?
32225Papa, please may I ask a few questions now, before you leave me?
32225Papa, shall we stop there to- morrow on our way to or from church? 32225 Papa, was n''t he a Christian man?"
32225Papa, what are fascines?
32225Papa,asked Grace at length,"are we to begin lessons to- morrow?"
32225Papa,asked Lulu,"ca n''t we take a little different route going home?"
32225Papa,asked Lulu,"what became of that very star- spangled banner Mr. Key was looking for when he wrote the song?"
32225Papa,said Grace earnestly,"did not God help our cause because we were in the right?"
32225Perhaps some other day, then?
32225Please may n''t I sit on your knee for five or ten minutes?
32225Please, if you have letters to answer, may n''t I write them for you on my typewriter?
32225Possible? 32225 Rather strong, is n''t it?"
32225Regulars, sir?
32225Rosie? 32225 Shall I go too, papa?"
32225So the Americans of course were afraid to reject them?
32225So you want a cracker, do you?
32225Some of the New Orleans people, especially the women, behaved very badly, did they not, captain?
32225Surely it could not be mamma herself?
32225Thank you, papa; you are very kind to say that; but please tell me if you think a dollar will be enough for me?
32225The one great question is,''Do you believe on the Son of God?'' 32225 Then what right had Jackson to suspend it, sir?"
32225Then, as we are all done eating, shall we not go at once, my dear?
32225To help with the shopping? 32225 Waiting for me, love?"
32225Was he an American by birth, Brother Levis?
32225Was n''t it that night it was written?
32225Was n''t it?
32225Was that so, sir?
32225Was the_ Manassas_ one of the eighteen, sir?
32225Was there not a second attack by the British upon Fort Bowyer, Captain?
32225We are in the Gulf now, are n''t we, sir?
32225We are nearing there now, are we not, my dear?
32225We will pass near enough to Forts Gaines and Morgan to get a view of them-- the outside at least-- will we not, Captain?
32225Well, daughter, has the rest of the Sabbath made you ready for work in the school- room again?
32225Well, what shall we do this afternoon?
32225Were any of the British killed, sir?
32225Were both Americans and British playing their national airs while the fight was going on, sir?
32225Were not the British rather more successful in another part of the field, Captain?
32225Were they frightened and bribed into doing what the British wished, sir?
32225Were you indeed, papa? 32225 Wha-- wha-- wha dat raskil done gone?"
32225Whar dat fellah dun gone?
32225What about, papa dear?
32225What is it, daughter?
32225What is it?
32225What is that, Max?
32225What is that, papa?
32225What is the matter?
32225What now, Raymond?
32225What was it you saw yonder in that bush, Bill?
32225What was it, papa? 32225 What was that for, papa?"
32225What will papa do and say to me?
32225What would mamma say if we failed to bring you? 32225 What would you take for him, sir?"
32225When is it to be? 32225 Where was Porter just then, sir?"
32225Who has a better right than her husband to bestow caresses upon a beautiful and attractive woman?
32225Who is to be married, Elsie?
32225Who more likely than Dick Percival?
32225Who told you, Max, that your father had been a good officer?
32225Why, how was that, Bill?
32225Why, what is the matter?
32225Why, where is he? 32225 Why, who on earth can be going to be married?"
32225Will I do, my dear?
32225Will you give us some music, mother?
32225Will you take it to him and ask him to please read it?
32225Would you, indeed, my dear child?
32225Yes, my boy,was the pleasant toned reply;"and are there any places along its coast that you or any of the others would particularly like to see?"
32225Yes, papa,she returned, putting her arms round his neck and her lips to his in an ardent kiss;"and are you and all the rest?"
32225Yes, papa,she said softly,"I will ask God to help me to do so; and you will pray for me too, wo n''t you?"
32225Yes, sir,said Walter;"but will you please tell what became of Hon- Yost?"
32225Yes, sir; and must I say good- night now to you?
32225Yes,he replied with an amused look;"that is number one, and how many are to follow?"
32225Yes,he said; then turning to Grandma Elsie, asked,"Mother, would you like to stop and visit the forts?"
32225Yes; but do n''t you think it would be well to get some assistance from the rest of us in making your choice?
32225You are going with us, mamma?
32225You have not been to tea?
32225You love him, then?
32225You mean that you would simply give a home here to your cousins?
32225''Well, I suppose you want to hear about that New Orleans affair?''
32225Ah, Christine and Alma,"as the two came hurrying out to greet the returned travellers,"I hope you are well?
32225Ah, Ned, is not that our own orange orchard just coming into view?"
32225And how did my little girl sleep?"
32225And so your cousin, Miss Johnson, is going to be married?"
32225And what is it to have faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ?
32225And where''s your kitten?"
32225And you''ll take Gracie too if she wants to go, wo n''t you?"
32225And-- Oh, Grandma Elsie, you and mamma will help me to think what will be best to get for them, wo n''t you?"
32225Are we here by your consent?
32225Are ye no ashamed to so falsely accuse an auld friend who wad never do harm to you or yours?"
32225But I almost always sleep well, and that is something to be thankful for, is n''t it?"
32225But do tell me, will we pass near enough to Mobile to see those forts?"
32225But oh, might it not be something that would be over before the rest of the family should come home from their drive?
32225But we ca n''t love him so dearly without loving one another; can we?"
32225But you are not going to remain on deck till then?"
32225But,"with another sweeping glance from side to side,"we''re certainly anchored; and where?
32225Butler asked,''Why not?''
32225Ca n''t you, papa?"
32225Can you not send a servant here with a plateful of your most toothsome viands?"
32225Could it have passed around the vessel?
32225Do n''t we, girls?"
32225Do n''t you, Eva and Lu?"
32225Do not you?"
32225Do not you?"
32225Do you approve, papa?"
32225Do you, Lu?"
32225Does it mean the dear Lord Jesus, papa?"
32225Evelyn?
32225Gospel means good news, and what could be better news than that?
32225Have you opened your arms and bid us welcome?
32225How did we get here?
32225How much ought I to give, papa?
32225How soon do we leave Annapolis to pursue our homeward way?"
32225I ca n''t mourn his loss; how could I?
32225I suppose the sooner the better, that we may not be too much hurried with the necessary dressmaking?"
32225If not, why are we here?
32225Just get in here with us, you two, will you not?
32225Lilburn?"
32225Lulu adding,"Papa, are you quite, quite sure you can really spare all this without being-- embarrassed?"
32225Lulu, sitting beside her father, asked in a low aside,"Papa, may I buy a handsome present for Cousin Betty?
32225Lulu?
32225May I take my place alongside of you, Miss Leland?
32225Mildred Keith-- Mrs. Dr. Landreth?
32225Morgan is the name?"
32225Now what else?"
32225Now, what is meant by repentance toward God?
32225Perhaps you would prefer to ride your pony?"
32225Please treat us to some of them to- night, and let us have all before we visit their scenes, wo n''t you?"
32225Shall we establish ourselves there?"
32225Shall we take the babies along?"
32225She has fainted, has she not?"
32225Some folks in papa''s place would have made me fast till my lessons were learned; but he''s such a good, kind father; is n''t he?"
32225The bairns Rosie and Walter, too, are not here; what''s become o''them a'', laddie?
32225The friends and relatives will all be here for some time, mother?"
32225The others exchanged glances of astonishment; then Ella asked in low, terrified tones,"O Art, is she-- is she dead?
32225The view here is lovely, is it not, papa?"
32225Then, with an earnest look into the captain''s face, his own flushing hotly,"You, sare, ish de fader off Mees Lu Raymond?"
32225They too were invited, of course?
32225They''re no ill, I hope?"
32225Were there very many of them killed, papa?"
32225What did he order the people, or the soldiers, to do?"
32225What do you say, girls?"
32225What would I ken o''the folk i''this part o''the world?"
32225Who can have told her?
32225Who was he, Brother Levis?"
32225Will you forgive her and love her still?"
32225Would you, or would you not, expel us if you could?
32225You are not displeased with me, are you?"
32225You know me, dear cousin?
32225You remember what happened there at that time?"
32225and what of that, little sister?"
32225and wo n''t you please do so now?"
32225asked Calhoun;"what does she say?"
32225but why did they never do it before?"
32225called Polly from the sitting room,"what you''bout?
32225cried the boy, ready to dance with delight;"but may I go back to my room for a moment first?
32225exclaimed Adelaide and Calhoun in a breath; for both were standing near;"can it be?"
32225exclaimed Lulu, her eyes flashing;"I hope they did n''t escape punishment for such an outrage as that?"
32225exclaimed Lulu,"were they really frightened in the same way?"
32225he called; then catching sight of the note in her hand,"What oo dot?"
32225inquired Mr. Lilburn gravely,"and would you do me the favor to point him out?"
32225meaning all they might want to use?
32225that God offers us salvation of his free, unmerited grace?
32225the''and so forth''I suppose, meaning milk, cream, butter, and eggs?"
32225what''s that?"
32103Ah, but having been born your child, how can I help it?
32103Ah, do n''t you wish you had?
32103Ah, is courting me such hard work?
32103Ah? 32103 Ah?
32103And Chester has n''t recovered entirely?
32103And I may guess who that is, may I, dearest?
32103And are you willing now to let me be the captain''s daughter?
32103And do n''t you know that having adopted this as my country, I now consider it as truly my ain banner as it is yours?
32103And is that all the story about him?
32103And it will be a delight to get home once more, wo n''t it?
32103And mine is just the same, is it not, papa?
32103And shall we learn lessons in them in school time, papa?
32103And that being the case you are willing to be one of them, Cousin Annis, are you not?
32103And that is the case with you now, is it?
32103And to- night will be Christmas Eve, wo n''t it, papa?
32103And were both highly elated over the happy augury?
32103And what are your directions to me, Captain Raymond? 32103 And when did we get it, grandma?"
32103And when you have Cousin Bob added to all the rest, how do you suppose you are going to stand it?
32103And where are you going in this_ Dolphin_?
32103And who are you and your girl?
32103And you love Max?
32103And you love mamma, too?
32103And you mean to do it?
32103And you prefer it to Viamede?
32103And you will see to it that he does so, Cousin Arthur?
32103And you would n''t want to be a bag of bones, would you?
32103And your experience on shipboard has accustomed you to late hours, I suppose?
32103And, Grandma Elsie, can not you find some use for the stay- at- homes?
32103Annis,she said, turning to her cousin,"can not you and Cousin Ronald go with us?
32103Are n''t Elsie and I to help read them, papa?
32103Are we going in our yacht, papa?
32103Are we? 32103 Are you expecting to take a trip?"
32103Are you very weary, dearest?
32103As to the wedding- dress question-- suppose we send to New Orleans for samples, let Sidney choose from them and order the quantity she wants?
32103Aunt?
32103Brother Max,he queried,"wo n''t you ever have to obey papa any more?"
32103But Frank can be spared from his, I suppose?
32103But de Lawd''s chillens got to be good, mistiss, ai nt dey?
32103But might not you grow tired-- having so much of it?
32103But since we are neighbors and distant connections, and my brother engaged to Miss Lu, you do not absolutely forbid me your house, captain?
32103But the case is not thought to be hopeless?
32103But what has become of those tramps-- the merry men who were going to claim a share of this feast?
32103But when Ucita heard that Ortiz was gone, what did he do about it?
32103But why is Christ called our passover? 32103 But you do n''t think the dear child cares at all for him?"
32103By the way, did Robert Johnson''s bit of news make my daughter and her lover a trifle jealous that their engagement must be so long a one?
32103Ca n''t we send presents to brother Max, papa?
32103Can I have a moment''s chat with you, captain?
32103Can we go all the way in the_ Dolphin_, papa?
32103Can you repeat it for us?
32103Christians, mamma? 32103 Cousin Ronald and brother Max, ca n''t we have some fun there to- day, as well as at the wedding time?"
32103Cousin Ronald, ca n''t you make some fun for us?
32103Did Mocoso stay long? 32103 Did Narvaez do very bad things to the poor Indians, mamma?"
32103Did he and his men stay there in that beautiful valley, Lu?
32103Did he kill her for it?
32103Did it sound like my voice?
32103Did n''t things go off to suit you to- day?
32103Did you ever hear the story of what Emily Geiger did for the good cause?
32103Did you not hear at the time of the marriage of Dr. Johnson''s sister that a ventriloquist was present and made rare sport for the guests?
32103Do n''t you think it would make a pretty wedding, Cousin Vi?
32103Do they intend to go to housekeeping?
32103Do you think the Lord Jesus takes notice that we love him and want to do as he tells us?
32103Do you?
32103Fun, Neddie? 32103 Grace is not up yet?"
32103Grandma, did n''t he and his soldiers camp in the swamps a good deal of the time?
32103Grandma, will it be disturbing if I talk to you and ask some questions?
32103Had Ucita''s mother done anything to Narvaez to make him treat her so?
32103Had they good houses to live in, grandma?
32103Had we not better retrace our steps to the house now?
32103Have not you some preparations to make also, Elsie?
32103Have you forgotten, or do n''t you know yet, how dearly that same little girl loves to be with you?
32103He deserved it for killing Almagro, did n''t he, grandma?
32103He was sometimes called''The swamp Fox,''was he not, papa?
32103His own?
32103How could I help it?
32103How soon are we going, papa?
32103How soon will the_ Dolphin_ be ready, papa?
32103I do not mean to be either, papa,she returned;"and I may always consult you about it, may I not?"
32103I hope they have not been too exacting in their entreaties for such amusement?
32103I hope you will not object, Lu?
32103I presume you have sent or will promptly send word to Frank that his sister is about to marry?
32103I suppose by this time he knows how to manage a vessel almost as well as you do, papa?
32103I think I must have missed one of your letters, father,said Max;"for surely you did not intend to keep me in ignorance of all this?"
32103In regard to what?
32103Is it not lovely?
32103Is it you talking, Cousin Ronald, or is it brother Max?
32103Is n''t that rather insulting, madam?
32103Is that all, grandma?
32103Is that so, Polly? 32103 Is that so, cousin?"
32103It is on an island, is it not?
32103Lutherans?
32103My dear, does it not make you tremble with apprehension lest those two weddings should take place somewhat sooner than you wish?
32103Neddie, shall I help you? 32103 No matter which, laddie,"said the old gentleman;"and who shall say it has n''t been both of us?"
32103No, dear,was the smiling reply,"but what is it that you wish to hear from me?"
32103No, ma''am; wo n''t you please tell it?
32103Nor did I,said a rough man''s voice,"What are you doing here, you young rascal?
32103Now, Cousin Ronald,he exclaimed, turning to Mr. Lilburn,"do n''t you think it is the very prettiest flag that floats?"
32103Now, Ned, do you call that polite?
32103Of course; who''s afraid?
32103Oh, Cousin Ronald,exclaimed Elsie,"ca n''t you make some fun at the wedding, as you did when Cousin Betty was married?
32103Oh, Dick, dear fellow, are you still unable to move about?
32103Oh, Lu,said Grace as she pulled down her hair before the glass,"have n''t we the best and dearest father in the world?
32103Oh, are you?
32103Oh, by the way, why should n''t we have a triple wedding?
32103Oh, do you, brother Max?
32103Oh, doctah, sah, is you bad hurted?
32103Oh, is he very ill?
32103Oh, what was that?
32103Oh,cried Ned,"wo n''t they catch that fellow who just ran round to the kitchen as I told him to?"
32103Papa, am I so very fat?
32103Papa, ca n''t we keep right on now to Florida?
32103Papa,said Elsie,"it''s a dreadful place, and very, very old, is n''t it?"
32103Saved your life, Lu? 32103 Shall I go and tell Max and Lu that you are ready?"
32103Shall we join the others in the parlor now? 32103 Should n''t you?"
32103So since that she has been a part of our Union like the rest of our States; has n''t she, grandma?
32103That bird you are eating looks good,said the same voice;"could n''t you spare me a leg?"
32103That means the winter time, I suppose?
32103The three of us, Harold? 32103 Then the fighting stopped, I suppose?"
32103Then we wo n''t stop at all of them, I suppose,remarked Ned sagely;"only at the big ones, wo n''t we, papa?"
32103There will still be a vacant seat,said Grandma Elsie,"will you not go with us also, Grace?
32103To stay long?
32103Wait a minute and tell us who you are before you go,called out Eric Leland, and from the tree came the owl''s"Who, who, who?"
32103Was it you did that, brother Max?
32103Was n''t Jacksonville formerly known by another name, captain?
32103We will call at Jacksonville, I suppose, father?
32103Well, and what of that, youngster? 32103 Were you ever there, papa?"
32103What do you say to going North with us, if Captain Raymond should give you and Maud an invitation to take passage in his yacht?
32103What do you say, captain, to taking your family down there for a few weeks?
32103What do you think of Maud''s proposition, Eva?
32103What do you want from Santa Claus, papa?
32103What is it, Harold?
32103What is it, papa?
32103What is it?
32103What is wanted?
32103What''s the matter with you, Frank?
32103Where are Elsie and Ned?
32103Who I am?
32103Who is it, papa?
32103Who, who, who?
32103Why do n''t you look and see?
32103Why not ask Max instead of me?
32103Why, Lu, what could it have been?
32103Why, do n''t you know me?
32103Why, it''s real, is n''t it?
32103Why, son, have I ever done that?
32103Why, where is the bird?
32103Why-- why, Max, what do you mean by calling me that?
32103Will Chester be over here this morning, Lu?
32103Will that be enough, do you think?
32103Will you go in first, father? 32103 Will you take us in the yacht, my dear?"
32103Wo n''t you take me along?
32103Wo n''t you take this other one by her side, my love? 32103 Won''you pray de good Lawd for dis ole darky, mistiss?"
32103Would n''t you be willing to make haste quickly in this instance, dearest?
32103Yes, daughter dear, but do you expect to escape entirely from that last when you marry?
32103Yes, mamma, and you will join us, will you not? 32103 Yes, papa; was n''t it odd that Eva and I happened to catch it together?"
32103Yes,said his father, then asked,"Are you well up in the history of Florida, my son?"
32103Yes; what do you suppose they contain?
32103Yes? 32103 Yet what?"
32103You are satisfied with me, father?
32103You do not think Aunt Silvy really a dying woman, Harold?
32103You have hardly sent out your invitations yet?
32103You remember the anger of the burglar whom you and I testified against some years ago, and his threat to be revenged on me?
32103You think it takes the two of us, do you?
32103You will let us go, papa, wo n''t you?
32103''Are there no other lands to be robbed, no other people to be made miserable?
32103''Surely, general,''he said,''this can not be your ordinary fare?''
32103''Why do you still remain in my country?''
32103About how long ago was that?"
32103Addressing him, Ferguson said,''You are Colonel Horry, I presume, sir?''
32103Am I not that still as truly as I ever was?"
32103And he attacked you?"
32103And he has told you of it?"
32103And shall I call you Max, as of old?"
32103And she wo n''t consent?"
32103And you too, brother Levis?"
32103And you will not even allow her to enter into an engagement?"
32103And, Lu, how soon do you expect to follow suit and give her the right to call you sister?"
32103Are we all angels to- day?"
32103Are you not afraid, Chester,"turning to him,"that one of these days she may prove too independent for you?"
32103As she ceased, Cousin Ronald, who had drawn near, joined in the exercise, repeating the text,"''What shall we say then?
32103At that a loud guffaw right at his ear made the little boy jump with an outcry,"Oh, who was that?"
32103But can you hold that relationship to my father and to me at the same time?"
32103But have they no children?"
32103But how shall we manage it?
32103But that''s martial music, and now,"as another sound met the ear,"do n''t you hear the tramp, tramp?"
32103But what will you and Elsie do while we older people are shopping?"
32103But who or what can have called them out?"
32103But,"she added thoughtfully,"there are several sounds going on at once; could he make them all, do you think?"
32103By the way, your father has a good deal of taste in the line of ladies''dress, has he not?"
32103Ca n''t we help him out?"
32103Can you give me a text that teaches it, Chester?"
32103Did Marion live long after the war was over?"
32103Do n''t you think so, brother Max?"
32103Do n''t you think so?"
32103Do n''t you?"
32103Do you all like the plan?"
32103Do you remember, Elsie, what they called it, and what they did there?"
32103Do you, Elsie and Ned, want to be of the party?"
32103Do you?"
32103Does anybody feel inclined to go there and attend to the matter?"
32103Dr. Percival,"turning in his host''s direction and raising his voice,"can you account for that martial music playing a moment since?"
32103Grandma Elsie paused as if she had finished her narration and Ned exclaimed,"Oh, that is n''t all, grandma, is it?"
32103Has anything happened?
32103Have we not been careful to bring along with us one of the very physicians who have had charge of Chester''s case?"
32103Have you and Grace decided upon any particular articles that you would like to give?"
32103Have you not yet forgiven that act of indiscretion?"
32103I hope that does not mean that these are not happy days?"
32103I think I shall accept his and Vi''s invitation to stay to that meal; as you will, will you not?"
32103I trust Chester is inclined to wait patiently until the right time comes?"
32103I''m falsely accused and who knows but they may shoot me down on sight?"
32103I''se in pow''ful big hurry to git dem dere fore----""Here,"called the voice of Harold from an upper window;"is it I that am wanted?
32103Is any one ill there?"
32103Is n''t it, Lu?"
32103Is that not so, papa?"
32103It is a very modest request,"was the kindly- toned response,"What can I do for you?"
32103It was a pretty one; was n''t it?
32103It''s Grace Raymond you''re after, eh?
32103Jesus said,''Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?
32103Motte''s?"
32103Oh, Elsie, are n''t you glad?"
32103Oh, how could I ever have borne that?"
32103Oh, papa, may I open it?"
32103Please, sah, where de doctahs?
32103Shall I lift the lid for you?"
32103Shall I never, never escape?"
32103Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?...
32103Shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace?
32103She complained of misery in her head, misery in her back, and being"pow''ful weak,"finishing up with the query,"Is I gwine die dis day, suh?"
32103She rose and went to him, asking in kindly inquiring tone,"What is it, Uncle Joe?"
32103Sisters Lu and Gracie too?"
32103The captain paused in his narrative and Elsie asked,"Then did the Spaniards let the Indians have their own country in peace, papa?"
32103Then Elsie asked:"Are you going too, mamma?
32103Then turning to Lucilla:"You will tell us the story of the Princess Xualla, will you not?"
32103They were silent for a moment, then she asked,"Where are we now, papa?
32103Violet answered,"What is it, mother?"
32103Was it you, Cousin Ronald?
32103Was n''t it at that feast that he instituted what we call the Lord''s Supper?"
32103What Christians?"
32103What could have exceeded the kindness of Cousins Harold and Herbert-- Cousin Arthur Conly, too-- when you were so ill?
32103What do you think of it, my boy?"
32103What would you like it to be?"
32103Will you please tell us why it was kept and why they called it that?"
32103Would there be any objection to having''Old Glory''set waving from the tree tops to- day?"
32103and did they harm him, mamma?"
32103and how did you come in here?"
32103and to what port bound as the first?"
32103and what but his love for you makes him so unwilling to give you up to Chester?
32103and will you let Max tell them of his good fortune?
32103are n''t you glad?"
32103are you willing to eat of a fowl that can scream out so much like a human creature?"
32103but may n''t I ride him about here a while just now, so as to be sure I''ll know how to manage him on the road?"
32103ca n''t Elsie and I go along with the rest of you to New Orleans to- morrow?"
32103came aboard to steal, did you?"
32103do you know what it is?"
32103have you a good joke for us?"
32103is that so, Max?
32103is you uns one ob de doctahs?"
32103must you live on fun all the time?"
32103or am I to be left entirely to my own devices?"
32103or is anything out of the usual course of events likely to happen?"
32103or is it professional jealousy?
32103or was it brother Max?"
32103she cried,"is it for me, papa?"
32103they asked as they drew near,"time to go home?"
32103were they going to burn him to death?"
32103who are you?
45507''Gators? 45507 A bear?"
45507A deer?
45507A lake?
45507Ah, Mr. Lilly, are there any other varieties of wild beasts down here that we have n''t met up with? 45507 And pray, why not?"
45507And what do you reckon to do now?
45507And what do you think I''ll be doing while you- all are taking my doe away?
45507And you know all about that deer over yonder behind the down cypress?
45507And you will keep away from Bill Lilly and not try to take revenge on him?
45507Any choice as to position?
45507Any of you boys put cane on the fire?
45507Are there deer here?
45507Are they ugly?
45507Are you able to ride?
45507Are you going to dinner in that rig?
45507Are you going to help me down?
45507Are you hurt, Chunky?
45507Are you hurt? 45507 Are you hurt?"
45507Are you satisfied?
45507Are you speaking of your nose or the trail?
45507Are you trying to roil me, Stacy Brown? 45507 Boys, are you all right?"
45507Boys, what do you say to going over to the Major''s home and giving the ladies an exhibition of rough- riding?
45507But do n''t you think it is time we were getting back? 45507 But what are those peculiar formations that I see all about us?"
45507But what was his motive?
45507But where is the canebrake?
45507But you seem mighty interested?
45507But, but, what happened to you?
45507But-- but, who shot? 45507 By the way, are there any other hunters in this vicinity now?"
45507By the way, are they all drowned out?
45507Ca n''t I please you folks at all?
45507Ca n''t you guess?
45507Ca n''t you take my word for it?
45507Came back to see how well his little scheme worked? 45507 Can I shoot?
45507Chunky, do n''t you-- don''t you see what it is?
45507Chunky, will you be good enough to wind the horn?
45507Chunky,yelled Tad,"ca n''t you use your rifle without hitting the dogs?"
45507Did de''gator done git him?
45507Did he really do anything worth while?
45507Did n''t he think we could take care of ourselves?
45507Did the Major fight the Germans?
45507Did you find out what the fellow''s name is?
45507Did you get him?
45507Did you get lost?
45507Did you hit the mark?
45507Did you know the man?
45507Did you really kill a deer, Tad?
45507Did you see them?
45507Do I go alone?
45507Do I understand you to say that he tried to shoot you, Tad?
45507Do n''t you know better than to lie down in a place like this?
45507Do n''t you like my music?
45507Do n''t you see what has happened?
45507Do n''t you see, we are marooned?
45507Do n''t you think we have better use for our ammunition?
45507Do the bears live in trees?
45507Do they howl all night?
45507Do we swim across?
45507Do you know how far that is from here?
45507Do you know what the plans are for tomorrow?
45507Do you know who shot it, Chunky?
45507Do you like to have folks mad at you?
45507Do you see that thatched shack over there?
45507Do you shoot also?
45507Do you think that was what the dogs scented when you were out before?
45507Do you think, if you were let go, that you could go home to Mississippi and behave yourself?
45507Do you want to be sent back?
45507Do you, indeed?
45507Does that mean anything special?
45507Eh, what?
45507Eh? 45507 Eh?"
45507Eh?
45507Find any signs today?
45507Find it, Tad?
45507For goodness''sake, where did you get that outfit?
45507For what, kiddie?
45507For what?
45507From the other way?
45507Get any?
45507Going fishing?
45507Going which way?
45507Good gracious, what''s that?
45507Guide, what is the meaning of this?
45507Ha-- ha-- happened?
45507Had n''t we better look after the dogs? 45507 Has his horse been taken?"
45507Have all you boys got scents like deerhounds?
45507Have n''t you anything else to put on?
45507Have you a family?
45507Have you any clean water, Ichabod?
45507Have you any idea where he has gone? 45507 Have you boys fixed up your wounds?"
45507Have you seen anything of a man carrying a deer?
45507He did n''t find the deer signs?
45507He had a gun, did n''t he?
45507He has?
45507Hello, Chunky, what are you doing up there?
45507Here, what are you doing?
45507Here, where you going?
45507Hey, what did you shoot at?
45507How about it?
45507How about those bears? 45507 How about venison?"
45507How am I ever going to get anywhere on this skating rink?
45507How are we ever going to drive our horses through?
45507How are you going to prove that it is n''t?
45507How did the dogs act?
45507How did you ever come to get in that hole?
45507How did you get up there?
45507How did you manage it so quickly, Tad?
45507How do you chance to have punk?
45507How do you know there was n''t more than one?
45507How do you know?
45507How do you know?
45507How do you know?
45507How do you like it, fellows?
45507How do you propose to keep Pete?
45507How far is that from here?
45507How far is that?
45507How far is the brake from here?
45507How far?
45507How is it you did n''t get lost?
45507How long have you been there, Stacy?
45507How long you going to stay here?
45507How long?
45507How many?
45507How should I know? 45507 How so, Professor?"
45507How?
45507How?
45507How?
45507Hungry?
45507Hurt? 45507 Hurt?"
45507I suppose they are as thick in there as hairs on a dog?
45507I wonder where he was heading for? 45507 I wonder who it could have been?
45507I? 45507 In there?
45507Indeed?
45507Is he a big one?
45507Is he a good one?
45507Is n''t he the fine old gentleman?
45507Is n''t there any way of getting them out?
45507Is that a shack?
45507Is that the way_ you_ did it?
45507Is that why you sleep so much?
45507Is there no other way to reach the place?
45507Is there water in the canebrake?
45507Layin''all that talk aside, how you going to prove that that doe is your property?
45507Look here, what are you doing?
45507Look here, young man, where have you been?
45507Major, did I understand you to say that you had procured a guide for us?
45507May I ask who you are?
45507Near here?
45507Nerve?
45507Not the prisoner? 45507 Not there?"
45507Now, young man, what excuse have you to offer for going into the lake?
45507Of what?
45507Oh, I did, eh?
45507Oh, is that all?
45507Oh, well, you ca n''t blame him for defending himself, can you? 45507 Oh, you have condescended to speak to me, have you?"
45507Oh, you have? 45507 On the trail?"
45507One of our dogs?
45507Pete?
45507Pricked him with a bush- knife, eh?
45507Re-- reptiles?
45507Say, are you gifted with second sight?
45507Say, how much farther have we got to go?
45507See anything green in my eyes?
45507Shall I feel all puffed up or get mad at that remark?
45507Shall I give him the run, Tad? 45507 Shall I take the doe?"
45507Shall I wing him, Tad?
45507So, it''s you, is it, Alligator Pete? 45507 So?"
45507Somebody you know?
45507Stacy, did you do this?
45507Stacy, how is your heart today, after all your experiences?
45507Stop here?
45507Such language before an innocent boy like me? 45507 Suppose I place my rope around him, keeping the free end in my hand and riding behind him?
45507Surely, you do n''t intend to shed human blood?
45507Surrounded by water?
45507That boy up a tree?
45507That was a nice trick to play on us when we were sleeping so soundly, now was n''t it?
45507That way?
45507That your doe is n''t here?
45507That''s a good joke on the old scout, eh? 45507 The buck?"
45507Then had we not better follow his trail?
45507Then how do you know he had a gun, unless you guessed it?
45507Then if there''s nothing else to do will someone please tell me what blew up?
45507Then what in the world were you dragging him off into the swamp for?
45507Then what?
45507Then you think the fellow with whom we had the trouble could have had nothing to do with the attack of the wolves?
45507They have got to wake up in the morning to get ahead of you, have n''t they?
45507Want to lose that horse? 45507 Was n''t that what happened, Stacy?"
45507Was she in the cane?
45507We can shoot quickly, but the next question is, can we hit?
45507We know how we got him, too, do n''t we, Tad?
45507We know that, but what caused it?
45507Well, did you find it?
45507Well, for the sake of the argument, what are you going to do about it?
45507Well, what have you to say for yourself, young man?
45507Well, what is it?
45507Well, what then?
45507Well?
45507Well?
45507Well?
45507Wha-- what did you shoot, Tad?
45507What I suspect? 45507 What about the bear?"
45507What about the man?
45507What are we going to do for firewood?
45507What are you doing in my shack?
45507What are you doing in my shack?
45507What are you going to do?
45507What are you thinking about?
45507What d''ye mean?
45507What did I shoot? 45507 What did he look like?"
45507What did the fellow look like?
45507What did you discover?
45507What did you make of them?
45507What do you mean?
45507What do you propose to do about it?
45507What do you propose to do with the man, now that you have him?
45507What do you reckon you are going to do?
45507What do you say, Professor?
45507What do you think about it, Professor? 45507 What do you think about it, Tad?
45507What do you think of it?
45507What do you think you are yelling about, anyway?
45507What do you think?
45507What do you think?
45507What do you wind it with?
45507What do you- all reckon on doing?
45507What excuse?
45507What have we forgotten?
45507What have you found?
45507What is it you propose to do?
45507What is it, Icha?
45507What is it, where is he?
45507What is it?
45507What is it?
45507What is that?
45507What is the other way?
45507What is the use? 45507 What kind of snake is it?"
45507What kind of trail?
45507What makes you think so?
45507What makes you think so?
45507What right or reason have you to do it?
45507What shall we do with him now we have him?
45507What shall we do with him, then?
45507What was it?
45507What were you shooting at?
45507What were you trying to do to him at the time?
45507What would you do with it?
45507What''s that roaring?
45507What''s that you have there?
45507What''s the condition?
45507What''s the matter with you?
45507What''s the matter with you?
45507What''s the matter, Stacy?
45507What''s the use bothering with him? 45507 What, are you afraid of the bears?"
45507What-- what is it, Ned?
45507What-- what-- what''s that?
45507Where are they?
45507Where are you going?
45507Where are you going?
45507Where did you get it?
45507Where did you get that outfit, young man?
45507Where did you get your knowledge of horses, Master Butler?
45507Where do we go first?
45507Where do we go tomorrow?
45507Where is he?
45507Where is he?
45507Where is that boy with the wood? 45507 Where is that fat boy?"
45507Where''s that ungrateful wretch?
45507Where?
45507Where?
45507Which way did he go?
45507Which way did he go?
45507Who did that?
45507Who do you think he is?
45507Who wants to take a look at the town?
45507Who was it?
45507Who-- who''s going to watch you?
45507Why do n''t you come up here if you want to get me?
45507Why do n''t you go and find out?
45507Why do you ask?
45507Why not?
45507Why not?
45507Why should I? 45507 Why so close?"
45507Why so?
45507Why, did n''t you know what was in the lake?
45507Why?
45507Wind your horn?
45507Wo n''t their noses be out of joint? 45507 Wolves?"
45507Would it not be better to make a new camp farther in?
45507Would it please them, Major?
45507Yes, but what are you going to do if you do catch up with him?
45507Yes, sir; will you come here?
45507Yes, what did you think it was?
45507Yes, what is it?
45507Yes, who would have thought it?
45507You are quite sure it was a buck that he was carrying?
45507You did?
45507You did?
45507You do n''t say so? 45507 You have something on your mind?"
45507You mean Sunflower River, do you not?
45507You mean the cypress knees?
45507Young man, is there anything you do n''t see?
45507Yours?
45507And you are?"
45507And you did n''t know that?"
45507Are you coming down, Stacy Brown?"
45507Are you game to tackle them?"
45507Are you hurt?"
45507But how can I do it?
45507But why should n''t I fall down if I want to?"
45507By the way, what has become of my pig?"
45507CHAPTER I SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY"Professor Zepplin, I believe?"
45507CHAPTER VIII WOODMAN, SPARE THIS TREE"Now, what are you going to do?"
45507CHAPTER XIV THE FAT BOY DISTINGUISHES HIMSELF"You laughing at me?"
45507Ca n''t we get him somewhere where we can treat him?"
45507Ca n''t you let him have the full enjoyment of his bravery?"
45507Ca n''t you see that the fellow is suffering?
45507Chivalrous, too, eh?"
45507Did he really fly up there?"
45507Did n''t know what you had met up with when you stole the doe from this kid, eh, Pete?
45507Did n''t you ever see me fly?
45507Did n''t you hear the guide say there were reptiles here?"
45507Did they take you out of school to dig early potatoes before the spring terms closed?"
45507Did you ask him what arrangements he had made for us, Professor?"
45507Do n''t you see what he has done?
45507Do they have regular runways down here?"
45507Do you know Bill Lilly?"
45507Do you mean_ could_ he?"
45507Do you promise to get over to your own state and behave yourself?"
45507Do you suppose he is on our track?"
45507Do you think he is at home?"
45507Do you want to go with me, Butler?"
45507Ever hear of a horse laugh?
45507Fresh tracks?"
45507Has he any place where he would go to get out of the way?"
45507Have all the rest of you boys got scents like deerhounds, eh?"
45507Hello, Ned, what''s the matter?"
45507How can I come down when Ned Rector is using the axe?
45507How far did you go?"
45507How many bear did you get?"
45507How many rooms will you require?"
45507How should I know that the stuff was loaded?
45507How would that strike you?"
45507Hurt?"
45507I do n''t suppose you have any objections?"
45507I guess you boys must be hungry, eh?"
45507I wonder if I could buy him?
45507I wonder if they are all black in this part of the country?"
45507I wonder why?"
45507Ichabod, did you?"
45507Ichabod, have you seen Master Brown?"
45507Ichabod, what is that snake the owl has up there?"
45507If our late enemy should chance to be following us it would give him a pretty good line on us, would n''t it?"
45507If you want a deer so badly, why do n''t you go shoot one?
45507Is n''t it a wonder?"
45507Is this country full of stuff like that that will blow up if you look crosswise at it?"

45507Now what do you reckon you are doing in my shack?"
45507Now, do you think you can be good, or do you want some more of the same medicine?"
45507Oh, wow?"
45507See anything?"
45507Shall I take a look about inside?"
45507So the moccasin has been back here again, eh?"
45507So you got hung up?"
45507Stacy, will you come down out of that tree?"
45507The question is, where is he now, and is he coming back here today?"
45507They seem to have given you fellows the slip?"
45507Think I stole it?"
45507To which trail do you refer?"
45507Was n''t that a measly trick?"
45507Was there more than one of them?"
45507Well, what did you get?"
45507Wha-- what''s that?"
45507What are we going to do with them?"
45507What did I tell you, Tad?"
45507What do you know about it?"
45507What do you mean by interfering with my party?"
45507What had happened to the dog?"
45507What if a snake had chanced along and discovered my feet out there?"
45507What is there so horrible about this-- this canebrake?"
45507What kind of trail are we going out on, do you know?"
45507What lake is this?"
45507What would you suggest?"
45507What you- all been doing this afternoon?"
45507What''s the fun of living if somebody is n''t making life interesting for you?"
45507Whatcher want?"
45507When a mosquito buzzes around your head, threatening to bite you, you swat him, do n''t you?"
45507When do we strike camp?"
45507Where are the Professor and Walter?"
45507Where did you get the doe?"
45507Where is he?"
45507Where is our baggage?
45507Which way is the breeze?"
45507Which way was he going?"
45507Who did it?"
45507Why did n''t he shoot if he wanted it?"
45507Why did n''t you wake me up before you moved the camp?
45507Why did that man steal the doe, Chunky?"
45507Why not let him go?
45507Why?"
45507Wo n''t it scare all the game out of the woods?"
45507Wo n''t the boys have the laugh on you?"
45507Would he?"
45507Would n''t it be better to leave him up there where he can not get into any further difficulties?"
45507You did n''t think I had been in these brakes all these years without knowing all about them, did you?"
45507You do n''t mean he has escaped?"
45507You mean the place where we made temporary camp this afternoon, do n''t you?"
45507You never have been in the brake?"
45507You will wish to go to your hotel?"

10234No, my child,he responded,"I am sure it is not true: I am sure it is all false; but why do I find you out of bed so late, little bird?

10234Old Charlie,said he, gazing fondly at his house,"You and me is both old, eh?"
10234Old man,whispered the failing invalid,"is it caving yet?"
10234Pauline, my child,he said with tremulous voice,"if Manuel''s story is all false, in the name of Heaven how could you think he was going to tell it?"

10234Senor;he paused,--"eez a- vary bath- a fore- a you thaughter, eh?"

10234There is to be a bull- fight? 10234 They think you will be elected?"

10234What is it you call this thing where an old man marries a young girl, and you come out with horns and--"_ Charivari_?"
10234What is it, Clarisse?
10234What is it?
10234What is it?
10234What is that, papa?
10234What is the difficulty?

10234What?
10234When has he ever staid away three nights together before?
10234Where is your mother now?
10234Where?
10234Where?
10234While I was gone?
10234Who is hurt?
10234Who knows,continued the speaker,"but Senor Benito, though strong and sound and har''ly thirty- seven"--here all smiled--"may be taken ill tomorrow?"
10234Who knows,the young Irishman proceeded to inquire,"I say, who knows but Pedro, they re, may be struck wid a fever?"
10234Who knows?
10234Who''s goin''to throw me? 10234 Why do n''t they come here?"
10234Why do you cry?
10234Why do you not found hospitals and asylums at once,asked the attorney, at another time, with a vexed laugh,"and get the credit of it?"
10234Why do you not make him_ your_ banker, also, Madame Delphine?
10234Why not?
10234Why not?
10234Why, did you not see? 10234 Why, my dear child, I was just saying, we like a clean"-- But the daughter was desperate:"Oh, tell me, my mother,_ who_ is coming?"
10234Why?
10234Will you?
10234With you, Madame? 10234 Yes?"
10234You do n''t believe it? 10234 You do n''t mean an old_ tyrant_?"
10234You dunno wad I mean, Madame Carraze?
10234You have a little boy?
10234You know he has a quick and fearful temper;and"why does he cover his loss with mystery?"
10234You know something else,he said;"you know that the Major loves you, or you think so: is it not true?"
10234You never dreamed of that, eh?
10234You sawed''i m? 10234 You thing?"
10234You want to buy her?
10234You want to make strit pass yond''?
10234You will come firz by you''se''f?
10234You wish to know his name?
10234You''ave one lill''gal, Madame Carraze?
10234You''re bound to win?
10234_ Chérie_,said Madame Delphine on one of those evenings,"why do you dream so much?"
10234_ Mais_, fo''w''y?
10234_ Mais_, w''at de matter, Posson Jone''?
10234_ Mais_, what could make it else? 10234 _ Miché?_""You know w''at I goin''do wid dis money?"
10234_ Miché?_"You know w''at I goin''do wid dis money?
10234_ Non, non!_ I do n''t want,--the speaker paused to breathe--"ow is collection?"
10234_ Non?_he asked.
10234_ Parlez- vous français_?
10234_ Qui ci ca_? 10234 _ Qui ci pa?_"called Madame Delphine, in a frightened voice, as the two stood up, holding to each other.
10234''Brave?''
10234''But what did his son do?''
10234''Do you know, Madame, why his father is angry so long?''
10234''For what?''
10234''Has the gentleman a heart as well as a hand?''
10234''How can that be?''
10234''Is it jealousy?''"
10234''Stealing from the dead?''
10234''Very well, why?''--''Why?
10234--And, General,--what could I say?"
10234--Who is coming here this evening?
10234--a long whistle--"is that pos- si- ble?--and Monsieur John knew it?--encouraged it?--eh, well, eh, well!--But-- can I believe you, Madame John?
10234--the Colonel raised his voice to suit his kinsman''s deafness,--"how is those times with my friend Charlie?"
10234A bitter smile came upon the old man''s face:"_ Pardon, Monsieur_, you is not_ le Gouverneur_?"
10234A letter by a Dutchman in French!--what can be made of it in English?
10234Ah!--but why say again she was lovely?
10234Ah, my child, do you blush?
10234Ai n''t it?''
10234And another time:--"If I will let you tell me something?
10234And do you go to my church, Madame----?"
10234And he left you so much as that, Madame John?
10234And now what did this mean?
10234And she?
10234And should he still try to lead him into the pitfall he had dug?
10234And was no one punished?
10234And what you''ll do wid old Charlie''s house, eh?
10234And who was this Madame John?
10234And why, the old wretch?
10234And you had it all in that naughty bank?
10234Another question came more timidly:"Do-- do you think he knows_ him_?"
10234Are you armed?
10234But fo''w''y you lill''gal lose doze hapetide?"
10234But if not, whom would his son select to perform those friendly offices indispensable in polite quarrels?
10234But if some of your sick shall call?"
10234But what said she, Madame?"
10234But what think you, my son?"
10234But why did you not ask me, his old playmate?
10234But why did you not ask me?
10234But, if you have some bad news"--"Your son took your quarrel on his hands, eh?"
10234Can it be?
10234Cayetano?"
10234Colossus and this boy can go to the kitchen.--Now, Colossus, what_ air_ you a- beckonin''at me faw?"
10234Could it be that Mazaro was about to speak for Galahad?
10234Could it be that she was going to the_ Salle de Condé_?
10234Could that trunk contain treasure?
10234Dat all right?
10234Daz ze way, ai n''t it?''
10234Did you not?"
10234Do n''t you hear them?"
10234Do you love her?
10234Do you not see?
10234Do you think I am a child, to be trifled with-- a horse to be teased?
10234Do you understand me?"
10234Fight?
10234Fo''w''y dad is?"
10234For what you tell me''What a lie?''
10234Had he mistaken?
10234Have they killed a so- long snake?
10234He allowed a few moments more to pass, and then asked:"_ N''est- ce- pas_, Madame Delphine?
10234He arrested the maid on the last step:"Your mistress, she goin''_ pour marier_''Sieur George?
10234He had heard of Madame John''s daughter, and had hoped once to see her, but did not but could this be she?
10234He rose and walked once across the room, returned, and said, in the Creole dialect:"Is he a good man-- without doubt?"
10234He slowly said:"Is dad possib'', Madame Delphine?"
10234He started to resume his walk, but turned to her again and said:"Why did they make that law?
10234He took pains to speak first, saying, in a re- assuring tone, and in the language he had last heard her use:"''Ow I kin serve you, Madame?"
10234How can I help you?"
10234How can we speak of him as a law- breaker who might have saved him from that name?"
10234I am proud to tell you so now; is it not so?"
10234I know,''out- a she gettin''marry, eh?"
10234I said,''think you General Villivicencio will not rather be the very man most certain to respect a son who has the courage to be his own master?
10234I want you do somesin for me, eh?"
10234I was afraid you might not know that old Poquelin was sick, you know, but you''re not going there, are you?"
10234If I want you to fight?
10234Indeed, when have they not differed?
10234Is a man in a fit?
10234Is it coming back?
10234Is it peering in at the sleeping mute?
10234Is n''t it?"
10234Is she any thing to you?
10234Is that something to bring the rose to your cheek?
10234Is that yo''yallah boy, Jools?
10234Is there nothing dreadful in that?
10234Is this his quest, or is it lunacy?
10234Is''Tite Poulette your own child?"
10234It seems like a special provi_dence_.--Jools, do you believe in a special provi_dence?_"Jules said he did.
10234It was only Injin Charlie; but had not the De Charleu blood just spoken out in him?
10234It''s the on''yest time I ever been from home; now you would n''t of believed that, would you?
10234Jools?
10234Kristian Koppig, why did you not mind your own business?
10234Look- ut heer, sissy, why ar''n''t ye in the maternal arms of the Café des Exilés?"
10234Madame Carraze,"he said, partly extending his hand,"you see?
10234Madame Delphine was not prepared for the movement, and on that account repeated her question:"What are you thinking about?"
10234Madame resumed:"I said,''I do not deny that Mossy is a noble gentleman;''--I had to say that, had I not, General?"
10234Many fine gentlemen at the ball ask me often,''How is your daughter, Madame John?''".
10234Money?
10234Mossy, is it possible you have not heard of the attack upon me, which has surprised and exasperated the city this morning?"
10234My dear sur, do ye s''pose I wud talk about the goddess-- I mean, yer daughter-- to the likes o''Mazaro-- I say to the likes o''Mazaro?"
10234Not marrie''Sieur George?
10234Not to the charge of them who stoned him?
10234Nothing else tempted; could that avail?
10234Oh, Père Jerome, what shall I do?
10234Oh, what does he want with a poor fool of a son who will do only as he says?
10234Oh, where is there any room, in this world of common disgrace, for pride?
10234Oo it was?"
10234Pauline, treasure, what shall I do with thee?
10234Poquelin?"
10234Posson Jone'', is that something to cry, because a man get sometime a litt''bit intoxicate?
10234Père Jerome laid his hat upon a chest of drawers, sat down opposite her, and said, as he wiped his kindly face:"Well, Madame Carraze?"
10234Père Jerome waited a little before replying; then he said, very gently:"I suppose dad muss''ave been by accyden'', Madame Delphine?"
10234Shall such encroachments be endured?
10234She''s a lill small gal?"
10234Smuggler-- patriot-- where was the difference?
10234Some half- priest, half- woman?
10234Some of those Américains, I suppose, knew it; but who would ever ask them?
10234Some spectacled book- worm?
10234Some think it was Jean Lafitte, the famous; you have heard of him?
10234The exiles?
10234The father looked one instant in her face, then rose with an exclamation:"Where is my son?
10234The law did not stop her from being that; and now, when she wants to be a white man''s good and honest wife, shall that law stop her?
10234The many did look in his face, and, as he looked in theirs, he read the silent question:"Where is thy brother Abel?"
10234The old man asked in his simplicity:"Madjor Shaughnessy?"
10234The old man glared sternly upon the speaker, and with immovable features said:"You do n''t see me trade some Guinea nigga''?"
10234The"fine gentyman"longed to blaspheme-- but before old Charlie!--in the name of pride, how could he?
10234Their landlord never got but one question answered by the middle- aged maid:"Madame, he feared, was a litt''bit embarrass''_ pour_ money, eh?"
10234Then she began to say something else, stopped, and with much nervousness asked:"Père Jerome, what was the name of that man?"
10234Thinking of this, what could she do?
10234To each new- comer he put the same question:"Did you come here to go to old Poquelin''s?"
10234To whose charge then?
10234W''en we have say we going make_ le charivari_, do you want that we hall tell a lie?
10234Was it the voice of a human?
10234Was there no cause for quarrel, after all?
10234We''ve no business to- night, eh Mazaro?"
10234Well, I win''it by a specious providence, ai n''t it?"
10234What I want wid money, den?
10234What I''ll do wid Belles Demoiselles?
10234What are you, that you should treat me so?
10234What became of them, do you ask?
10234What could a landlord do but smile?
10234What do they want?"
10234What does he live in that unneighborly way for?"
10234What harm could he see in it?
10234What has happened?
10234What is that?"
10234What might one call yo''name?
10234What should the words be?
10234What then?
10234What will this silly neighborhood say?
10234What you doin''here?
10234What you want to bet?"
10234What?
10234What?"
10234Whence could it come?
10234Where I''m goin''to fin''one priest to make like dat?
10234Where are you going, Madame Delphine?"
10234Where shall I hide thee?"
10234Where''s de''ouse what Monsieur le Compte give your grace- gran- muzzer?
10234Who cares for gates or doors?
10234Who could take a jet white wife?
10234Who in this street would carry my note, and not wink and grin over it with low surmises?
10234Why do n''t you shivaree him?"
10234Why does she not come to our ball- room with you?"
10234Why you do n''t buy somewheres else?"
10234Why you do n''t stay dare youse''f?"
10234Why you do n''t stay where you be halways''appy?
10234Why you do n''t stay where you halways be''appy?
10234Will she espy the dark form in the deep shade of the orange, and, with one piercing scream, wheel and vanish?
10234Will she stop?
10234Will she turn aside?
10234Would he push it, as his wo nt was?
10234Yet he lives, and shall live-- may live to forget you, who knows?
10234Yet there was a pretext left"the rooms must need repairs?"
10234Yon sink bickause I make a little playfool wiz zis tin pan zat I am_ dhonk_?"
10234You call Manuel Mazaro one liar?"
10234You know w''ere''s dad''ouse of Miché Jean Tomkin?
10234You see dis money-- w''at I win las''night?
10234You think he will love him less for healing instead of killing?
10234You think it was nothing?
10234You will let me say so?
10234You will not be offended with the old playmate of your son?"
10234_ Can it be_?
10234_ Is_ that brave, Madame Délicieuse, or is it not?''
10234_ Mais comment_?"
10234_ Mais,_ why you ca n''t cheer up an''be''appy?
10234_ Mais_, if I keep dis money, you know where it goin''be to- night?"
10234and if he has made dreadful haste and proved his courage?"
10234and why not?
10234and why not?"
10234asked Galahad;"I say, wut''s the use o''that?"
10234but you make a fool of yourself, ai n''t it?"
10234can it be that the dead do walk?"
10234cried the parson, bounding up with radiant face--"is that so, Jools?"
10234dear,"said the mother, her face beaming with fun--"What can it be, Maman?"
10234do n''t you know?
10234do you thing I would go again''my conscien''?
10234from which race do they want to keep my daughter separate?
10234is it possible?"
10234ma mère, qui vini''ci ce soir_?"
10234said Charlie;"from where you come from dis time of to- night?"
10234shall a man make hisse''f to be the more sorry because the money he los''is not his?
10234she is not-- don''t you know, mother?
10234the blind people say,''How is that, that General Villivicencio should be dissatisfied with his son?
10234very good, truly, but-- you_ say_ you have it; but where is it?
10234what have I done?"
10234what is it?"
10234where did you get the money?"
10234why not?"
10234you have not written it in English, is it, son?"
18817Ah was huntin''--"What for?
18817An''wheah is yo''all goin'', Mistuh Val?
18817And I''d like to know what you''ve been doing all morning--"Would you really?
18817And Mr. Ralestone, how is he?
18817And he wants his share of the estate?
18817And how do you know that that remark was intended as a compliment?
18817And just what are you doing?
18817And just what do you know about the Long Hall?
18817And just what is a Sergnoret piece?
18817And just what is going on here?
18817And just what is it?
18817And just who is he?
18817And may I ask who you are and what you are doing here? 18817 And shall we?"
18817And the question before the house is, I presume, who''s going to wash them?
18817And then?
18817And what did you think of him?
18817And what is there for him to do? 18817 And what might your name be?"
18817And what''s your choice, m''lady?
18817And who is the violet? 18817 And why the merriment?"
18817And why the sudden dip into ancient history?
18817And you think that some mention of such an event might be found in the papers of the family concerned?
18817Another fuse gone? 18817 Are n''t they beauties?"
18817Are n''t you going to stay to lunch?
18817Are you an artist, too?
18817Are you doing story illustrations?
18817Are you hurt, Ricky?
18817Are you sure that you have the right place? 18817 Are you sure you packed it this morning?"
18817Are you sure?
18817Awfully casual about it, is n''t he?
18817Because of the secret you know?
18817But did n''t anyone ever mention to you that gentlemen wipe their feet before entering strange houses?
18817But did n''t he ever try to get in touch with the Ralestones?
18817But he brought home a fortune, too, did n''t he, Rupert?
18817But how did you manage to arrive so opportunely?
18817But how-- why--"Yeah,the rival had collected a measure of his scattered wits,"whatta yuh mean, wise guy?"
18817But suppose you tell me to what we owe the honor of this visit?
18817But what about the costume?
18817But what are you really after? 18817 But what for?"
18817But what has Jeems been up to?
18817But where did you find this''proof''?
18817But which of the twin brothers was the elder? 18817 But who would want to come in here?
18817But why did n''t Gatty give it to Miles when he came?
18817But, Val-- Val, what if-- if--"If we are n''t found?
18817By the way, do you realize that you have ruined your face for my uses?
18817By the way, where is Jeems?
18817By the way,Val asked as they went up toward the house,"did you see that boy in the canoe going downstream as you crossed?
18817Ca n''t we go slower?
18817Ca n''t we-- can''t I lift some of the stuff off?
18817Ca n''t yo''git me outa heah?
18817Ca n''t you do better than that?
18817Can you get that book here this afternoon?
18817Can you make it to the house?
18817Can you take me there?
18817Could that possibly mean a diary?
18817Did Ricky go riding?
18817Did n''t you guess when you heard the story of the missing Ralestone? 18817 Did she take the boat?"
18817Did you ever think that he might be shy, too?
18817Dirty fighters?
18817Do ghosts have union rules? 18817 Do n''t tell me,"Val begged, aroused by this news,"that we are actually able to afford some new clothes again?"
18817Do n''t you remember, Val,she turned to him,"what Rupert said about the Luck last night-- that the names of the heirs were engraved upon its blade?
18817Do n''t you swampers ever get the news?
18817Do n''t you think it needs it?
18817Do you have any really good pictures?
18817Do you know what this is?
18817Do you know where Jeems lives?
18817Do you mean that some descendant of Roderick has appeared to put in a claim?
18817Do you remember, Val?
18817Do you still have the flash? 18817 Do you suppose it will ever be possible to get these clean again?"
18817Do you suppose that that part''s true? 18817 Do you think we''re going to like this?"
18817Does it matter? 18817 Does n''t this red and green plaid seem a bit-- well, bright?"
18817Doing what?
18817Due to you?
18817Even to the victoria and the coach- hound?
18817Fen says that these animal drawings of yours show promise and he wants to know whether you ever thought of trying something along his line?
18817Five? 18817 For me?"
18817For what?
18817Gon na wait here all day?
18817Goodness, what have I strayed into?
18817Have you ever heard of a''sour puss?
18817Have you ever heard that old saying that''possession is nine points of the law''? 18817 Have you no reverence?"
18817He was one of Lafitte''s men, was n''t he?
18817Hear that?
18817How about you, Val, beginning to feel hungry?
18817How are we going to get him to the boat?
18817How did you know what I was thinking about?
18817How do you feel now?
18817How does it feel to own such magnificence, Rupert?
18817How long does it take Rupert to ask a single simple question?
18817How long have you been doing this sort of thing?
18817How much do you want for this information?
18817How''re we gon na do it without bustin''the wall down?
18817How''s Ah a- goin''to git mah ironin''done when dere ai n''t no heat fo''de iron? 18817 How''s Jeems?"
18817How''s the carriage house?
18817How,Val grinned at his brother,"did Richard explain the little matter of the ghost which is supposed to walk at night?"
18817How--? 18817 Huh?
18817I do pick the wrong times to display my sense of humor, do n''t I? 18817 I have n''t touched-- Val, do-- do you feel worse?"
18817I suppose there are electric lights?
18817I suppose you want some supper?
18817I trust we possess a good cook- book?
18817I wonder how much it''s worth?
18817I wonder if I did? 18817 If there is-- well--""Yes?"
18817If you do n''t wish to see my brother, just why did you come?
18817In spite of the enemy? 18817 In your second childhood?"
18817Is Jeems his first or last name?
18817Is dey up at de big house now?
18817Is he the ghost?
18817Is it?
18817Is that for_ Drums of Doom_?
18817Is there anything I can do?
18817It was then that-- that--"I was smashed up? 18817 Jeems?
18817Jeems?
18817Just the same, what if there were something wrong? 18817 Leg hurt, Val?"
18817Like it? 18817 Lissen, Boss, it''s a secret, ai n''t it?
18817Listen, Ricky, how can we fight when we have nothing solid to fight with? 18817 Lose what?"
18817May I pay Jeems a visit?
18817May I?
18817May-- may we see some of them-- the pictures, I mean?
18817Mine? 18817 Mistuh Val, wheah''s Miss''Chanda?
18817Mistuh Val,Lucy''s penetrating voice made him start guiltily,"is yo''or is yo''not comin''to brekfas''?"
18817More business? 18817 Mr. Ralestone, what is the matter?"
18817My dear, are you describing Clark Gable or someone you met in our garden this morning?
18817Nice day, is n''t it?
18817No? 18817 No?
18817No? 18817 No?"
18817Nobility?
18817Not after I''ve come all the way from New York to see you?
18817Nothing?
18817Now just what do you mean by that?
18817Now what?
18817Now,Val said plaintively,"will somebody please tell me just what this is all about?
18817Oh, see here now, was n''t I the one who got you this commission? 18817 Oh, so it''s you, kid?"
18817Oh, yo''know Miss Charity?
18817Oh,Ricky smiled sweetly,"did we really disturb you?"
18817Or am I thinking of the Whiting who talked to the Snail?
18817Our branch of the family?
18817Part of Rupert''s deep, dark secret?
18817Preparing for a little murder or two?
18817Regular Charlie Chan, are n''t you?
18817Ricky?
18817Rod,Val called down to where their cousin was busied over the stretching of the new badminton net,"did you hear that?
18817Rupert,Charity glanced at him,"are you going to see Creighton?"
18817Rupert,Ricky turned and asked impulsively,"do you really believe in the Luck?"
18817Rupert? 18817 Sam, have you seen Miss''Chanda?"
18817So this is the guy who''s trying to do me out of my rights?
18817So you are still determined on treasure hunting, are you? 18817 So you consider that the ducks are the note you wish to emphasize?"
18817So, wise guy, what now? 18817 So,"she was staring into the fire,"that''s the way of it?"
18817So? 18817 Sure it is n''t yours, Val?"
18817Swell place, ai n''t it?
18817That was where the Luck--"How hold ye Lorne?
18817The boy got through, did n''t he?
18817The oak leaf is dust,murmured Ricky,"the sea wave is gone, the broadsword is rust, how now hold ye Lorne?"
18817The one that you broke hitting the stone with when you aimed at your ball yesterday?
18817Then this is n''t your place?
18817Then we are right?
18817Then what more is there to worry about? 18817 Then you do n''t like it here?"
18817Then you_ were_ my faceless ghost?
18817They are rather gaudy, are n''t they?
18817They were with you, were n''t they?
18817This the place, Red?
18817This-- this is rather a darkish place, is n''t it?
18817Tired, old man?
18817To provide a free banquet for mosquitoes? 18817 Val"--he could hear her move uneasily--"remember that old saying:''Pieces of eight-- Ralestones''fate?"
18817Val, do you-- do you think he is badly hurt?
18817Val, had n''t you better go back to bed?
18817Val, he is n''t coming, too, is he?
18817Val, what are you doing out of bed?
18817Val, what sort of a mess have you and Jeems jumped into?
18817Val, will-- will it be fun?
18817Val,Ricky''s throaty whisper reached him,"ca n''t you guess what this is?
18817Val,Ricky''s voice quavered,"did-- did they keep people here?"
18817Val--"Yes?
18817Val?
18817Visitors? 18817 Was Audubon ever here?"
18817Was he badly hurt?
18817We are n''t Chinese, Arabs, or Malays, but we are kind of nice to know, are n''t we, Val? 18817 We never relinquished the title, did we?
18817We sit down and think of one thing we''re really good at doing and then-- Val, what is that?
18817Well, Val,he asked, a frown creasing his forehead,"what is it?"
18817Well, why do n''t you open it?
18817Well, you''ve explained your interest in the place,Val assented,"but what about the rival?
18817Well,he hesitated,"where shall we begin?"
18817Well? 18817 Well?"
18817What about Jeems?
18817What about the cabin?
18817What about the car?
18817What about the third?
18817What about this boy?
18817What am I supposed to do?
18817What are you doing here?
18817What are you going to do with that wall- paper, Rupert?
18817What d''ya mean?
18817What d''yuh mean-- cousin?
18817What d''yuh think it is? 18817 What day is this?"
18817What did you expect,Val asked her,"a skeleton?
18817What do Ah want wi''treasure? 18817 What do yo''mean by that?"
18817What do you call that?
18817What do you know?
18817What do you mean?
18817What do you mean?
18817What do you mean?
18817What do you think of our family retainer?
18817What do you want?
18817What do you want?
18817What does he think?
18817What does this guy Jeems go to the house for?
18817What does?
18817What for?
18817What is the flaw in the masterpiece?
18817What is the trick of getting into that house?
18817What is this?
18817What kind?
18817What shall we do now? 18817 What was he like anyway?"
18817What were we carrying?
18817What woman could resist this?
18817What''re you gon na do now, Boss?
18817What''s all dis Ah heah''bout some mans sayin''he am de Ralestone?

18817What''s the story about?
18817What''s this one?
18817What''s this?
18817What''s this?
18817What,her voice was a thin thread of sound,"was that?"
18817What? 18817 What?"
18817What?
18817What?

18817Where''s Sam?
18817Where''s that high and mighty brother of yours?
18817Where''s that map of the city? 18817 Where?"
18817Where?
18817Where?
18817Which scenes--Ricky''s eyes shone in the firelight--"are those Dr. Richardson believes real?"
18817Who are you?
18817Who is he?
18817Who knows? 18817 Who would n''t?"
18817Who''s he?
18817Who''s that?
18817Why be so dramatic about it, old man? 18817 Why did n''t I spread the glad tidings that I was turning out the great American novel?"
18817Why did n''t Val tell me you had come?
18817Why did n''t they get paid in real money?
18817Why did we come?
18817Why do n''t you all go?
18817Why do n''t you ask him that?
18817Why do n''t you say what you were going to? 18817 Why do n''t you then?"
18817Why does n''t she start in on Rupert? 18817 Why not try pressing those?"
18817Why not?
18817Why should we, when you know more about this place than we do?
18817Why this sudden interest in mathematics?
18817Why, that''s where dear Great- great- uncle Rick''s ghost is supposed to walk, is n''t it?
18817Why, where did you meet Cinders?
18817Why? 18817 Why?"
18817Why?
18817Why?
18817Why?
18817Will you favor us with your company?
18817Will you stay right here?
18817Will your conscience let you come over for coffee with us then? 18817 Wonder where all the water is coming from?"
18817Wonder why he hurried off that way?
18817Yeah? 18817 Yeah?
18817Yes, is n''t it? 18817 Yes?
18817Yes? 18817 Yes?

18817You do have a nice little habit of speaking your mind, do n''t you? 18817 You do n''t expect me to disagree with that, do you?"
18817You mean the handkerchief we found in the hall? 18817 You mean the piles holding up your cabin platform?"
18817You probably know the story of our Luck?
18817You work for a living, do n''t you?
18817You''d know this Boss and Red again, would n''t you?
18817You-- are-- all-- right?
18817--still sleeping?"
18817A little riding, a great amount of casual reading and-- what else?
18817After all, when did a pirate ever show a saving disposition?
18817Ah got ta git the chest--""The one in the cabin?"
18817Ai n''t yuh been doin''our thinkin''for us all along?
18817An how do yuh know that, wise guy?"
18817An''does Miss''Chanda wan''dem in her room or does she not?"
18817An''lissen here, you swamp bum, you keep outta my way-- see?
18817An''yo''bettah be a- gittin''offen this heah land of mine afo''--""Before what, swamper?"
18817And I''ll--""Am I interrupting?"
18817And did you see those dreadful vultures on that dead tree?
18817And has Sam been to see you?"
18817And how do you like Louisiana, Miss Ralestone?"
18817And it''s locked, see?
18817And just which one of you has been selected to do the appraising?"
18817And look here, if you are going to unpack these, why not move them down to the end of the hall and turn them out on a sheet?"
18817And may I mention again how much we have appreciated your thoughtfulness?"
18817And now that Rod has finished setting out the lawn sports, what is there left to do?
18817And what are you doing now?"
18817And what could he do?
18817And what does that make you?"
18817And what if you do get in?
18817And what neighbor would come calling by water on such a night?
18817And what_ are_ you looking for?
18817And where did that boat come from?"
18817Any scruples about the rest of this stuff?"
18817Are you hurt?
18817Are you hurt?"
18817Are you planning to live here?"
18817Are you sure you''ve looked through all the family papers?
18817Are you through?"
18817As for talking about it-- well, how much has Val ever said about these?"
18817As she sank forward in a deep and graceful curtsy she added,"Ca n''t you see that Rupert has brought home his Marchioness?"
18817Both were young, both had bad tempers, and each saw his side as the right of the matter--""Regular Ralestones, were n''t they?"
18817Bum- lookin''joint, ai n''t it?
18817But Rupert will fix him-- won''t you?"
18817But could even Ricky be such a fool?
18817But how do yuh know that this guy has the stuff?"
18817But how--?"
18817But how?
18817But it was all in fun, see?
18817But that is n''t the point-- just_ what_ are you doing?"
18817But this visit seems to suggest something--""That he has the wind up?"
18817But what is in it?
18817But what were you after here, Jeems?
18817But where are you, Val?
18817But where''s the carriage house?"
18817But who today knew that story except themselves, Charity, LeFleur, and some of the negroes?
18817But why are you out here?
18817But why does he look so-- so sort of starved?"
18817But why should it come from there?"
18817But why--?
18817But why?"
18817But would he?
18817By the way, did Sam mend that croquet mallet, the one with the loose head?"
18817By the way, where''s Charity?"
18817CHAPTER VI SATAN GOES A- HUNTING AND FINDS WORK FOR IDLE HANDS"Val, did that cat go upstairs?"
18817Ca n''t it be mine?"
18817Ca n''t you come to me?"
18817Ca n''t you make her shut up?"
18817Ca n''t you remember the wording of the old charter?
18817Ca n''t you see?
18817Can I slip it under your head?"
18817Can you see him, Val?"
18817Could Jeems interpret that hint?
18817Could it be because he understood her to mean that he knew more of Pirate''s Haven than they did?
18817Could last night''s adventure have had anything to do with that threat?
18817Could the Luck have been made from two other swords found in an old tomb?"
18817Did a big, black, formless something reach out from under the bed and clutch at you?"
18817Did he have that much?
18817Did he really want to?
18817Did n''t you tell us once of the Lady Iseult, who killed herself when they would not release her from her vows to the Luck?
18817Did n''t you want us to live there?"
18817Did you think that out all by yourself?"
18817Do you have to do that?"
18817Do you know how long Charity and your brother are going to be gone?"
18817Do you people know that it is almost ten?"
18817Do you suppose that I might use your terrace for a background and have that big chair, the one with the high back?"
18817Do you suppose we could go swimming in the bayou?"
18817Do you think that I''d let you go into the swamp?
18817Do you want me to get him for you, Charity?"
18817Does Val have to come and hold you down?"
18817Does n''t he look wonderful?"
18817Does yo''wan''Miss''Chanda to think yo''is a know- nothin''outa de swamp?"
18817Doors swing two ways, do n''t they?
18817Go home?"
18817Good grief, girl,"he exploded,"have n''t you any better sense than to come into the swamp this way?"
18817Goodness, wo n''t this rain ever stop?"
18817Had the dark and their trouble made her light- headed?
18817Had the swamper by any foul chance come to suspect Val''s little plan?
18817Has Rupert been fed or is he thinking of going on a diet?"
18817Has there been an accident?"
18817Have n''t you finished breakfast yet?
18817He could relax--"Now,"his brother turned upon Val,"just what did-- What''s the matter with you?"
18817Hear that, Val?"
18817Here, boy, what''s your name?"
18817Hitler?
18817How about you, Rod?"
18817How do you get the thing undone?"
18817How many Ralestones died violently?
18817How much is there, anyway?"
18817How much sugar should we have, Rupert?
18817How soon do we get there?
18817I do n''t suppose you could use another assistant?
18817I hardly think that you should look as if you had just stepped out of the tailor''s--""I''ve done all that?"
18817I wonder how he knew my name?"
18817I wonder if our absent host possesses a larder?"
18817I''se come fust so''s Ah kin see wat Mistuh Ralestone done wan''done wi dem rivah fiel''s--""Where is Rupert?"
18817If Ricky had not come into the garden to hunt him?
18817If Ricky had not dropped the money, then what had caused the clink?
18817In the meantime--""Yes?"
18817Is he always so silent?"
18817Is it fast against the wall?"
18817It''s somewhere in the Hall, and the secret--""See here,"Val interrupted her,"what were you about to tell me when Rupert came in?"
18817Just where is it?"
18817LeFleur is doing all he can, we have explored every possibility here--""Val, do n''t you_ want_ to stay here?"
18817Look there, under that carved leaf-- isn''t that a date?"
18817Looks pretty, does n''t it?"
18817Marvelous types, where did you get them?"
18817May I introduce Mr. Ralestone, who firmly believes that he is the Ralestone of Pirate''s Haven?
18817May I keep it?"
18817Now just what, considered Val, was the slim young clerk from Mr. LeFleur''s office telling that red- faced man in the too- snug suit?
18817Now may I suggest that we find some slumber rooms slightly more modern?
18817Now, as I am a busy man and this is the middle of the morning, I shall have to say good- bye--""So that''s the way you''re going to take it?"
18817Oil- wells bubbling,"Val continued from the point where the lawyer had interrupted him,"Rupert turning out to be the missing author--""What was that?"
18817Or was he going to remain the very human person who had spent eight hours of every day at his brother''s beck and call for the past few weeks?

18817Rupert,"she raised her voice as their elder brother opened the door by the driver''s seat,"shall we all go and be pirates?
18817See any more bogies last night, Val?
18817Seven or eight, was n''t it?"
18817Shall I, next time?"
18817So what do we do now?"
18817So yuh''ve decided to be tough, eh?"
18817Some face come off along with the paint?"
18817Supper ready?"
18817The storm last night wrecked the door of the carriage house--""Zat so?"
18817They sent her off to Great- aunt Rogers because Uncle Fleming, who took me, did n''t care for a girl--""And Rupert?"
18817Val, do you suppose they could hear me if I pounded on the wall at this side?"
18817Val, do you think that Lucy is going to be like this all the time-- order us about, I mean?"
18817Val, is it so very bad?"
18817Val, what are we going to do?"
18817Val, where are you?
18817W''at time does yo''all wan''breakfas''in de mornin''?''
18817Was dis boy big like yo''all, wi''black hair an''a thin face?"
18817Was he going to retire behind his wall of reserve from which their venture underground had routed him?
18817Was it the Civil War treasure?"
18817Was the South"getting"him as the tropics are supposed to"get"the Northerners?
18817We were gon na move right in and take over the joint, were we?
18817We''ll take turns cooking--""Who''s elected to do the poisoning first?"
18817Well, Charity, shall we stay-- in town I mean?"
18817Well, do n''t you want to see the inside as well as the out?"
18817What are these men doing here?"
18817What are we going to do today?"
18817What are we supposed to be lookin''for?"
18817What are you doing here?"
18817What became of the son?"
18817What could he say now?
18817What did you and your swamp friend do-- run into a mowing machine?"
18817What do you know about that big plantation up river, the one called''Pirate''s Haven''?"
18817What do you think, Rupert?"
18817What do you think?"
18817What had their rival said before he left?
18817What has he done?"
18817What if the fellow took it into his head to walk around?
18817What if you were offered everything you ever wished for, all tied up in pink ribbons and laid on your door- step?
18817What is your price?
18817What profit would I find in a cabin like this?
18817What was it you wanted her for?"
18817What was left?
18817What would have happened if he had?
18817What would your reaction be?"
18817What''s the matter?
18817What''s the matter?"
18817What''s the matter?"
18817What''s this on the lid?"
18817What-- what if his injuries were worse than he had thought?
18817Whatta we gon na do now, huh?
18817Whatya tryin''to do-- break somebody''s neck?"
18817When Ricky had hinted that he knew more of the swamp than the Ralestones did, why had he been so quick to resent that remark?
18817When is this binge of yours?"
18817Where are you?"
18817Where are you?"
18817Where have you been, anyway?"
18817Where is the car?
18817Where''s Rupert?"
18817Where''s the key?"
18817Where''s your proper pride?
18817Where?"
18817Which way now?"
18817Which would win to them first, the rescuers or the second slide?
18817Who is Jeems, really?"
18817Who is he?"
18817Who''s been playing games?"
18817Who''s for bed?"
18817Who?"
18817Why did he appear?"
18817Why do n''t yo''all go visit wi''Miss Charity?"
18817Why do n''t you fight back always when I get mean, Val?"
18817Why has n''t he written to Lever?"
18817Will Jeems take me to pick the lilies too?"
18817Will you join us?"
18817With Rupert writing books, and a lot of oil or something in the swamp, why, what have we got to worry about?
18817Wonder what happened to him afterwards?"
18817Would Jeems surrender as easily as that?
18817Would the efforts of their rescuers bring on another slide?
18817Would the first Roderick--""The Roderick who brought home the Luck?"
18817Would you mind if I showed them to a friend of mine who might be interested?"
18817Yes him does, does n''t him?"
18817Yes, I''m right; see this cross under the leaves?"
18817Yes, not exactly a rest cure for any of us, was it?
18817Yo''all comin''now?"
18817You are returning to Pirate''s Haven now?"
18817You do n''t really care whether we lose Pirate''s Haven or not, do you?"
18817You have safely recovered from that most unfortunate accident, Mr. Ralestone?
18817You know, of course, of the missing Ralestone-- Roderick?"
18817You know, the ones he was so particular about all the way down here?"
18817You the guy who thinks he owns this?"
18817Your charming self?"
18817Yuh''re gon na tell the Boss what he wants to know an''yuh''re gon na spill it quick, see?

27913Ai n''t we nohow able to get up a set? 27913 All-- all-- and-- and-- Aurore?"
27913Alone?
27913And Aurore?
27913And after?
27913And am I in her house?
27913And does this young fellow dare to make love to your mistress?
27913And how did I get here?
27913And how risk life, Monsieur?
27913And niggers?
27913And now, Monsieur, may I inquire why you wish to speak to me, and what you have to say?
27913And that would lose you the race?
27913And those wounds-- your clothes torn-- blood?
27913And was that why you ran from me?
27913And what is this plant, Gabriel?
27913And who is` young missa''?
27913And who, sir, may I ask, has commissioned_ you_ to take this trouble?
27913And why not? 27913 And why should Aurore command such a price?"
27913And why? 27913 And why?"
27913And withal, Aurore is a poor slave just like the rest of you, Scipio?
27913And you have run away from the plantation?
27913Are you sure of that, mon Capitaine?
27913Are you sure of this, Monsieur?
27913Are you very anxious?
27913Asleep, uncle?
27913Aurore?
27913Ay, whar''s the justice?--whar are ye, judge?
27913Ay, where are they?
27913Ay, where is she, Monsieur?
27913Ay--_whar_ did I go?
27913B''side,continued he,"I''se got somethin''show mass''yet-- he like see curious thing-- he like see de big snake trick?"
27913Bad cards again?
27913But did n''t I ask you if thar wan''t some one overboard?
27913But how do you contemplate serving me by firing off pistols, and frightening the passengers of the boat out of their senses?
27913But how do you intend to live? 27913 But how?"
27913But how?--he knows your name-- how?
27913But the period of sorrowing for such a cause is surely past, and yet--"And yet you observe that I am still sad?
27913But where have you been?
27913But,continued Scipio, turning upon me an inquiring look,"how''d young mass''r come by de big ugly cut?
27913But--"Mass''hungry?
27913Cobbler?
27913Could you describe Aurore, Scipio?
27913Do you know if he could swim?
27913Do_ you_ not know all?
27913Doctor!--mass''Edwad sick? 27913 English, ai n''t he?"
27913Everything?
27913For whom?
27913Gayarre the avocat?
27913Have a fresh straw?
27913Have a straw?
27913Have you any message for Saint Louis? 27913 Have you been here before?"
27913He was a favourite among you?
27913He''s been fightin''a painter?
27913How are you off for bacon hams?
27913How high will you go?
27913How know you?
27913How many bacon hams have you on board?
27913How much against this?
27913How much against this?
27913How much money have these sharpers left you?
27913How, then, can you get at the snake? 27913 How, then?"
27913How? 27913 How?
27913How?
27913I ask you, Sir,he repeated, in a still angrier tone,"what''s your business here?"
27913I have my suspicion that a certain individual designs--"Who?
27913I understand; it falls down to her shoulders?
27913I''ll look at it again, if you please?
27913If we could find it,I said to my companion,"and leave our horses there?"
27913In Shirt- tail Bend?
27913Insolvent? 27913 Is Monsieur Gayarre present?"
27913Is he killed?
27913Is it a dream? 27913 Is it not enough that you are a stranger likely to be plundered of your purse?--a_ green- horn_--""How, Monsieur?"
27913Is it straight hair?
27913Is it true you intend leaving us, Monsieur?
27913It curls?
27913It was at the suit of Gayarre the bankruptcy was declared, was it not?
27913It would be as well,I assented,"if you do not deem it too early?"
27913It''s the same fellow that laid out Bully Bill: ai n''t it?
27913Luxuriant?
27913Monsieur Dominique Gayarre,said the magistrate, recognising him,"what is the charge you bring against the prisoner?
27913Monsieur Dominique, how should I know? 27913 Monsieur, may I ask who is your mistress?"
27913My dear R--, where have you been?
27913Nor any of the others?
27913Now the eyes?
27913Now, doctor, this news of Mademoiselle Besancon?
27913Of course Aurore is with her?
27913Pay you in cheques, sir?
27913Perhaps it would grieve_ some one else_? 27913 Pierre?
27913Say, Bill!--tell me-- be candid, old feller-- have you ever--?
27913Scipio is it?
27913Shall I step over to the house, and prepare Mademoiselle for your departure?
27913Shall we go, Monsieur?
27913Since when have they become acquainted? 27913 So you believe they have actually been cheating me?"
27913So, Marigny, you really intend to bid for her?
27913Sure mass''r not go till he rest a bit? 27913 Surely I can swim it?"
27913The slaves are all to be sold then?
27913The slaves?
27913The steward, Antoine? 27913 The storm will soon be on?"
27913Then I shall go to Bringiers at once?
27913There is no one killed, then?
27913This was in old master''s time?
27913To- morrow?
27913Twenty- five hundred dollars,repeated the auctioneer, in his monotonous drawl;"twenty- five-- six-- you, sir?
27913Well, then, what say you all to a game of whist?
27913Whar''s the justice?
27913Whar''s yer old ark now?
27913What am dat, mass''r?
27913What business have_ you_ here, Sir?
27913What can be his motive for my removal?
27913What care I if she did? 27913 What is this?"
27913What matters it?
27913What success? 27913 What then, dearest?"
27913What, then?
27913What? 27913 What?--revenge?
27913Where can she be? 27913 Where is he?"
27913Where is the justice?
27913Where shall we say we left you?
27913Whither had they gone?
27913Who fired?
27913Who prefers the charge?
27913Who says that?
27913Who told you all this, Scipio?
27913Who, then? 27913 Who?
27913Who? 27913 Who?"
27913Why am I detained here?
27913Why last?
27913Why say you so, Monsieur?
27913Why, he was considered the great friend of the family-- the associate of old Besancon?
27913Why?
27913Why?
27913Why?
27913Will you take cheques, sir?
27913Wo n''t be a fair match, Mr Chorley,said the dealer in hog- meat;"but since you propose it, if Mr Hatcher here-- your name, sir, I believe?"
27913Yes-- Who is Aurore?
27913Yes-- well?
27913Yes; have I not prophesied truly?
27913You ai n''t a- goin''to desart us that away? 27913 You an interest?"
27913You are not aware, then, that you are playing with_ sportsmen_?
27913You have?
27913You liked it, I guess?
27913You mean Monsieur Dominique Gayarre, the_ avocat_?
27913You were flogged for refusing to punish Scipio?
27913You will go with me? 27913 You will guide me to Bringiers?"
27913You?
27913You?
27913Your name, sir, if you please?
27913Your name, sir, if you please?
27913_ L''abeille_, Monsieur?
27913A fence of six rails separated me from the sufferer; but what of that?
27913After all was I_ not_ beloved?
27913After one or two anxious inquiries in relation to my wound, she asked--"But how came you to name Aurore?"
27913Again, even should my letter reach me in time, would the amount I expected be enough?
27913Although perfectly justifiable in me to have done so, who was to show that?
27913Am I awake?--do I dream?
27913And Mademoiselle Besancon, what will become of her?
27913And Reigart?
27913And if not, should I find an opportunity to speak with Aurore?
27913And now pray, Capitaine, when do you contemplate starting?"
27913And pray, Sir, to what am I indebted for this interest?"
27913And what cure?
27913And why nothing more?
27913And why terrible was the baying of a hound?
27913Aurore must be beautiful, then?
27913Bitterness, hostility, revenge?
27913Bringiers is near; promise that you will visit us often-- in fact, every day?"
27913But even if money should be deemed an equivalent, would Mademoiselle_ sell_ her to_ me_?
27913But even though she might not be, how were we to communicate with her?
27913But it was now brought nearer, and all the faculties of my mind became concentrated on that one thought--"How was I to obtain her freedom?"
27913But of what use they?
27913But surely she will recover from this unfortunate passion?
27913But to a heart so highly attuned, so noble, so passionate, what would be the shock of an unrequited love?
27913But was she among them?
27913But what antidote?
27913But what was there about me to terrify him?
27913But who was my host?
27913But why had he run away from me?
27913By lending me the money I required?
27913Can I trust myself to read it?
27913Can his society be agreeable to her?
27913Can it be the same?"
27913Come, Mr Chorley-- I believe that''s your name, sir?"
27913Could sin exist in that noble soul?
27913Could we do so?
27913Cut off your arm?"
27913Did I intend to follow him to his house, some thirty miles distant, in a hackney- coach?
27913Did he know her?
27913Did he_ know_ that Aurore loved_ him_?
27913Did she not say something of her house--"_ma maison_?"
27913Did_ she_ love me?
27913Do I not recognise in Monsieur Gayarre the cause of your unhappiness?"
27913Do you advise me, Monsieur?"
27913Do you intend to set fire to the log?"
27913Do you speak seriously?"
27913Do_ you_ know him?"
27913Does that satisfy you?"
27913Eh?
27913Even on hearing_ who_ he was?
27913For what had they stopped in the glade?
27913For what purpose, then, was I galloping after?
27913Forming itself, do I say?
27913Forms and faces were around me when I fainted and was carried in; why not hers among the rest?
27913Had I been instrumental in nurturing those flowers of the heart?--had I done aught to beguile them to their fatal blooming?
27913Had I committed an unpopular act in protecting myself?
27913Had I done anything to give offence?
27913Had he assigned the true reason?
27913Had he been there before she went out and been left by her in the house?
27913Had he not come ashore?
27913Had this strange youth a secret beyond_ my_ secret?
27913Has she no friends?"
27913Have you ever loved in humble life?
27913He said, in a careless way--"Perhaps, stranger,_ you_ wish to take a hand?
27913How could I have dreamt a thing so palpable?
27913How could I, with those large eyes, full of love- light, shining through the tear- bedewed lashes?
27913How could_ he_ tell?
27913How did you ever find such a place?"
27913How far is it to the shore?
27913How long would it take our pursuers to come up?
27913How long would she swim?
27913How many would be enough?
27913How should I find him?
27913How was I to act?
27913How was I to live at the hotel?
27913How was he to cure me?
27913How was it with Eugenie?
27913How were they to be shunned?
27913How with Aurore?
27913How would Eugenie act?
27913How would it affect our future-- the future of myself and Aurore?
27913How would you have me act?"
27913How?
27913Humble?
27913I asked;"have you heard any more of her?"
27913I believe Gayarre is now there?"
27913I communed with my conscience, asking myself the question, Was I innocent?
27913I felt that I had lost much blood-- had my incipient passion flowed out of my veins at the same time?
27913I hear you exclaim, that two have been forgotten, the hero and heroine?
27913I knew the horsemen must there leave the trail; but were they all mounted?
27913I mentally ejaculated,"what can it mean?"
27913I never knew of horses remaining so still?
27913I said at length--"Perhaps you will do me the favour to call upon me?
27913I said, interrupting him,"of what are you speaking?"
27913I was hungry-- what was to be done?
27913If he had not heard the signal- whistle, he must have heard the reports of my pistol?
27913If not yet arrived, how then?
27913If they were, then indeed there might still be hope; Aurore had not gone with them-- but what of that?
27913In another instant the excited throng was around me, several inquiring at once--"Who''s overboard?
27913In words it was thus:"How long may we be alone?
27913Is it his throat I clutch?
27913Is it likely one will pass to- night?"
27913Is it not a wicked law that persecutes us even when pretending to give us freedom?"
27913Is it so, Le Ber?"
27913Is it so, friend Scipio?"
27913Is it so?
27913Is it true?"
27913Is there a hope that she may have pity on_ me_, as I pity_ her_?
27913It must be the clearings?
27913It was you who stood opposite me in the corner of the saloon?"
27913Jules, the wood- chopper?
27913Know''i m, young mass''r?"
27913Life in the chamber of an invalid-- who cares to listen to its details?
27913Make no further effort to recover, to save her?
27913Mine had been dark for days past; and his-- what was his, poor helot?
27913Monsieur, it was you then who whispered the word in my ear as I sat down to play?"
27913Monsieur?"
27913Must I become_ her_ debtor?
27913No doubt, you are incredulous?
27913Now, sir, having this document in your possession, and knowing its contents, how could you claim Aurore Besancon as your slave?"
27913O God!--why is my destiny so hard?
27913Of cheerful import?
27913Of what is he accused, Colonel Hickman?"
27913Or afterwards?
27913Or am I to be under obligations to Gayarre?
27913Or had it been some one who had come across the animals by accident?
27913Or is there not?
27913Passengers rushed from the cabins, along the guards, and out to the front awning, and mingled their hurried interrogatories,"Who?
27913Perhaps Mademoiselle would send for me?
27913Perhaps he meant to meet me there or at my hotel; but how was I to get back to either of these places without leaving my post?
27913Perhaps it may be an introduction to the` graver theme?''"
27913Perhaps little Chloe?
27913Perhaps she might have thought of it, and did not desire to mention it?
27913Perhaps you?
27913Permit me to fasten it for you?"
27913Reigart would surely know how to extract the poison, or apply some antidote?
27913Resign myself to the situation?
27913Scipio has been speaking of her?"
27913Scipio?
27913She is young, rich, beautiful, a belle, and he old, ugly, mean, and contemptible; but what of that?
27913Should I follow and endeavour to overtake them?
27913Should the sum reach me in time-- should it prove enough-- should I even succeed in becoming the_ owner_ of Aurore, what then?
27913Should we not recover the horses, what then?
27913Some clerk in one of the stores?
27913Some one had been dogging us?
27913Some other of the plantation people?
27913Some ran down stairs-- some sprang up to the hurricane- deck-- some took aft, others forward, all crying out"Who is it?"
27913Some young spark of the town?
27913Something more: what can it all mean?"
27913Suddenly changing her manner, she eagerly inquired--"When you last saw him, monsieur, you say he was struggling with the ruffian who wounded you?"
27913Suppose I try to increase the amount at the gaming- table?"
27913Surely Gayarre would not be suspicious enough to have her guarded and watched?
27913Surely I must have seen it?
27913Surely a soul so pure, so noble, could not harbour such passions as these?
27913Surely no eyes but the eyes of love could have borne such expression?
27913Surely she would not be locked in?
27913Surely there was no face there that_ she_ could love?
27913Taking the black aside--"Tell me, Scipio,"I asked,"has Aurore any relative among you?--any brother, or sister, or cousin?"
27913Tell me, has he not come home?"
27913That would be an after- consideration; but with regard to money, how was that to be obtained?
27913The question was, would she have the courage-- nay, the_ power_ to discharge him from her service?
27913The thought had occurred to myself as D''Hauteville spoke, but how knew_ he_?
27913Then the reflection followed-- if such were the case, I should have found the pirogue by the tree?
27913Then, as if by an effort, her manner seemed to undergo a sudden alteration, and she continued:--"Please, Monsieur, let us change the subject?
27913There is still one state- room disengaged, I believe, Mr Shirley?"
27913They are the loveliest upon earth-- for where are views to compare with thine?
27913Think you I trouble my head about her?
27913To overtake these men upon the road, and deliver Aurore from their keeping?
27913Torture?
27913Towards me?
27913True, it would still be an hour-- perhaps two-- before her time should come.--Ha!--what?
27913Upon the boat?
27913WHERE AM I?
27913Was I alone?
27913Was he mocking me?
27913Was he playing with me as the tiger with its victim?
27913Was he so confident-- so sure of her heart, that he recked not thus leaving her alone with me?
27913Was he--?
27913Was it Eugenie Besancon?
27913Was it a feeling of pure chivalry that had prompted him?
27913Was it a lover''s interest that had been awakened within me?
27913Was it any of these associate thoughts that awoke within me this mysterious interest in the name"Aurore?"
27913Was it for me_?
27913Was it my face and my eyes staring open that kept them off?
27913Was it not he who had guided the_ crotalus_ to where I lay-- who had caused me to be bitten?
27913Was it possible-- probable--"Could you describe her, Scipio?"
27913Was it that that deterred them from attacking me?
27913Was it the singularity and beauty of the name,--for novel and beautiful it sounded in my Saxon ears?
27913Was my bride for sale on any terms?
27913Was she married?
27913Was there any one besides-- any one on board the boat that my dream resembled?
27913Was this another illustration of that character?
27913Was this to be her future home?
27913Wat can do uncle Sam for massa?"
27913We ca n''t make up a game if you do?"
27913We may be interrupted?
27913Were they all present?
27913Were they not travelling by that very one?
27913Were_ both_ playing with me?
27913Whar did you go, anyhow?"
27913Whar''s my dogs?"
27913Whar''s my dogs?"
27913What ail um?
27913What can he have to do with her?
27913What can they be doing?
27913What care I for a day?
27913What care we to be married here?
27913What cared the banker for my pressing wants?
27913What colour is it?"
27913What could be better than this?
27913What could be detaining them?
27913What could it mean?
27913What could such conduct mean?
27913What could_ he_ want with_ me_?
27913What did he mean to do?
27913What did it mean?
27913What do you mean, Mr Moxley?"
27913What does it mean?
27913What had I best do?
27913What had I done to merit reproach?
27913What have you done to him?"
27913What if I fasten it upon her, and swim alongside?
27913What if my jealousy were well founded?
27913What if she loved me not?
27913What is causing it?
27913What is it?"
27913What is there to admire here-- in these fields of golden sugar- cane, of waving maize, of snow- white cotton?
27913What knew I of such things?
27913What meant that strange glance?
27913What must be the influence of this man, that he dare thus step between her and the rites of hospitality?
27913What mystery is this?
27913What next?
27913What next?
27913What of all that?
27913What of him?
27913What of that?
27913What on earth could they be?
27913What purpose?
27913What say you, Monsieur?
27913What say you, fellars?"
27913What should I say to Eugenie?
27913What sort of hair, for instance?
27913What the deuce could it mean?
27913What to admire in those grand mansions, with their orangeries, their flowery gardens, their drooping shade- trees, and their soft arbours?
27913What to him was my ardent appeal?
27913What to him, a man of millions, could be the inconvenience of advancing five hundred pounds?
27913What to me would have been kindly weather?
27913What was he going to do?
27913What was it to me?
27913What would Eugenie Besancon think of it?
27913What would be her feelings in relation to it?
27913What would be the effect of the disclosure?
27913What would be the result?
27913What young mass''ail?"
27913What''s gwine wrong?
27913What?
27913When did money ever arrive in time for a crisis?
27913When he had got nearly up to my horse''s head, he stopped a moment, and thundered out--"Who the Hell are you, meddling with my affairs?
27913When was my betrothed to be sold, and I to assist at the spectacle?
27913When was this hideous exhibition-- this"Important Sale,"to come off?
27913Where are they?"
27913Where could he have gathered them?
27913Where is my father?
27913Where is she, Monsieur?"
27913Where is she?
27913Where is the path?
27913Where was I to obtain relief from this pain-- where obtain food?
27913Where was_ he_ to find an antidote?
27913Where was_ she_?
27913Where will you get your provisions?"
27913Where?
27913Where?"
27913Where?"
27913Where?"
27913Whither did he intend to guide me?
27913Whither did they lead?"
27913Whither had they gone?
27913Who can he be?
27913Who could_ he_ be?
27913Who could_ he_ be?
27913Who ever heard of a military man who did not desire to have his art considered as mythical as possible?
27913Who had cried out that some one was shot?
27913Who had taken them away?
27913Who should prevent me?
27913Who to an almost perfect stranger would advance such a sum as I required?
27913Who was he?"
27913Who was the fortunate one?
27913Who was to lend me money?
27913Who were they who had gone in?
27913Who would accept his place and his partner?
27913Who would have acted otherwise?"
27913Who would have been wandering in the woods on such a night?
27913Who would waste time gazing at stars when there is such a moon in the sky?
27913Who?
27913Why did I not love her, young, rich, beautiful?
27913Why did I not think of him sooner?
27913Why do you ask_ me_?"
27913Why had I mistaken her craft for_ naivete_?--her falsehood for truth?
27913Why had I yielded to her fascinations?
27913Why had he acted thus?
27913Why had he not arrived?
27913Why had he stopped there?
27913Why not break my promise, plighted though it be in words of fervid love?
27913Why not flee from the spot, and endeavour to escape the torture that is maddening both my heart and brain?
27913Why not make a bold effort, and free myself from this delirious passion?
27913Why not?
27913Why not?
27913Why should I attempt to purchase her at all?
27913Why should I care for customs and conventionalities which I at heart despised, even outside the levelling influence of love?
27913Why stay here, sir?"
27913Why terrible?
27913Why the desire-- an anxiety, in fact-- to have me removed to the hotel?
27913Why this interest in my affairs?
27913Why was Aurore in that room?
27913Why, then, did men look scowling upon me?
27913Why?
27913Why?
27913Why?
27913Why?
27913Why?"
27913Will not a large sum--?"
27913Will you bet, stranger?"
27913Will you have the goodness to give it your attention?"
27913With such advantages, what can he not effect?
27913With what design had she doing this?
27913With whom was I in love?
27913Would Brown advance the money?
27913Would I encounter him?
27913Would he arrive in time?
27913Would he attend to it in due haste?
27913Would he hear it at once?
27913Would he seek revenge?
27913Would she also appear so in the eyes of her young mistress?
27913Would the former see me after what she had written?
27913Would the proprietor believe in promises, and wait until my letters, already sent off, could be answered?
27913Would the wreck of the Belle keep afloat so long?
27913Would twenty- five hundred be the price of that which was priceless?
27913Would two hundred be enough?"
27913Would you have me paint the ceremony-- the pomp and splendour-- the ribbons and rosettes-- the after- scenes of perfect bliss?
27913You love him?
27913You purpose to_ buy this quadroon_?"
27913You see those lights?"
27913You think he is drowned, also?"
27913You''re going to take a hand at faro, ai n''t you?"
27913_ Do you love me_?"
27913_ How was I to obtain her freedom_?
27913a new thought came into my head-- perhaps the horses had got loose of themselves?
27913a young planter?
27913a''scription ob her person-- ye-- daat is, what am she like?"
27913a_ quadroon_?"
27913and whither?"
27913are you the captain of the Belle of the West?"
27913asked she in surprise;"are there not enough?
27913bitten by a rattlesnake?
27913but how came you to get such a mauling?"
27913could there be falsehood under that fair face?
27913cried he,"I hope you an''t miffed at me?"
27913cried the cause of all this confusion,"did n''t you tell me--?"
27913cried the ruffian, changing his former tone only into one more horribly furious--"It''s_ you_, is it?
27913do n''t mass''r know?
27913do n''t mass''r''member how?
27913echoed D''Hauteville;"surely this is the spot where we left them?"
27913exclaimed he, starting to his feet;"mass''say snake in dis yeer log?
27913have you delivered them all?"
27913he asked the banker, without heeding me--"how much, sir?"
27913he cried out, with an air of astonishment,"you hyar?"
27913he inquired, addressing D''Hauteville,"or do you mean to stake it at one bet?"
27913her mother?
27913how shall I ever repay you?-- how thank you for my life?"
27913how?"
27913inquired Marigny, suddenly awaking from his languid indifference,"Who, may I inquire?"
27913it is, is it?"
27913murmured he,"is_ she_ not to be pitied?"
27913or did I only dream it?
27913or even if any one had, what would have taken them into the pawpaw thicket?
27913or was it a hostess?
27913or was she only brought here temporarily, to be afterwards taken up to the plantation?
27913overboard, do you say?
27913pourquoi cette cruaute?
27913regarded these sounds as the sweetest of music?
27913replied the quadroon,"how can you speak thus?
27913said D''Hauteville, after we had discussed the various details,"suppose we fail?
27913said the other, not comprehending him;"what has that got to do with it?"
27913she berry good gal-- berry good gal-- but--"Scipio hesitated a moment--"but--""Well?"
27913she exclaimed;"bacon hams did you say, cher Capitaine?
27913some fair young girl, whose lot was among the lowly, but whose brilliant beauty in your eyes annihilated all social inequalities?
27913some one of the domestics?"
27913suppose some alarm be given, and we be detected before--?"
27913that will do, I suppose?
27913the errand- boy, Baptiste?
27913the overseer?"
27913the report''s true, then?"
27913those burning eyes?
27913towards Aurore--_her slave_?
27913whar did um go?"
27913what am I?
27913what is to be done to save her from this fearful man?
27913what to Aurore?
27913what was their effect upon me?
27913what will young Missa do now?
27913what!--a slave?"
27913where is Antoine?
27913where the tracks of my former footsteps?
27913where?"
27913whither am I going?
27913who gave you an antidote?"
27913who is there?"
27913who?
27913why do you run from me?
27913why for mass''say dat?"
27913why not?
27913with whom?
27913you are going to guide me, then?"
27913you have no axe?"
27913you know him them?"
27913you think it strange that I should know her name?
27913you were forced to it, then?"
27913you''ve had a tussle with the cats: hain''t you?"
6379''But when? 6379 A_ what_?"
6379Afraid of what?
6379And do you suffer no longer? 6379 And her name?"
6379And is the Donna Teresa here?
6379And leave me sitting on my throne? 6379 And one man has already been killed, you say?"
6379And the Cressi boy-- it was you who found him?
6379And then what? 6379 And what have you learned from her?"
6379And what would happen?
6379And when it is all over you will be ready for your vows?
6379And where are the ladies?
6379And where does this bogey- man enter-- this Belisario Cardi?
6379And why do you tell me this?
6379And why not? 6379 And yet you must realize that your conduct is shocking?"
6379And you did n''t speak? 6379 And you have n''t changed?"
6379And you''re sure I wo n''t be in the way this evening?
6379And you, then, are also a great artist?
6379And you?
6379Any symptoms yet?
6379Are n''t you going to be my nurse any more?
6379Are we forgiven?
6379Are you badly-- hit, old man?
6379Are you sure?
6379Are you sure?
6379Belisario Cardi? 6379 Bernie was furious, was n''t he?"
6379Bernie was just--"You defend him, eh?
6379Brigands? 6379 But Narcone-- Are you really in earnest about this scheme?"
6379But do you think she could ever forget Martel?
6379But first, do n''t you think we''d better rehearse our explanation of my presence?
6379But his capture?
6379But what can I do? 6379 But what''s the odds?"
6379But you will come, to please me, will you not? 6379 By the way,"she chattered on,"what in the world have you done to Bernie?
6379Ca n''t you guess, stupid?
6379Ca n''t you understand? 6379 Ca n''t you work secretly?"
6379Can you beat that?
6379Can you take me, in spite of my wretched cowardice back there in Sicily? 6379 Can''t-- go-- in?"
6379Care?
6379Chloe did it-- she cut it off, and sewed on the doodads--"The what?
6379Could I have sent the ransom to the wrong address?
6379D''you think that''ll happen, Norvin?
6379Deep in your heart, do you hope to find peace inside the walls of that hospital?
6379Did n''t you realize it meant my social ruin?
6379Did you ever hear of a Sicilian named-- Narcone? 6379 Did you fail-- him?"
6379Did you know the fellow?
6379Did you see any robbers?
6379Do I find you busy?
6379Do I not love my girl Lucrezia? 6379 Do I?"
6379Do all Sicilian bridegrooms travel with an armed escort?
6379Do n''t you believe it is?
6379Do n''t you care? 6379 Do n''t you know that this house is quarantined?"
6379Do n''t you know the danger you run?
6379Do n''t you know this is a thing we ca n''t joke about?
6379Do n''t you recognize the American?--the Signore Blake, who came here with the Count of Martinello? 6379 Do n''t you think it may be the work of this fellow Narcone?"
6379Do n''t you understand? 6379 Do n''t you?"
6379Do you believe in the vendetta?
6379Do you believe that?
6379Do you care for him very much?
6379Do you know him?
6379Do you know that I have been with the Sisters of Mercy? 6379 Do you know that you''re trespassing and may get into trouble?"
6379Do you mean to tell me that your friends have known of this disgrace?
6379Do you realize what Maruffi''s freedom would mean to you and Oliveta?
6379Do you really believe the Countess left Sicily to travel?
6379Do you really love her?
6379Do you regret your part?
6379Do you suffer in your business?
6379Do you suppose Donnelly could make me one?
6379Do you think I could marry a man with gray hair?
6379Do you think Myra Nell would care to be Queen of the Carnival?
6379Do you think so?
6379Do you think there is any possibility of my winning her? 6379 Do you think you acted very decently?"
6379Do you think you will know him?
6379Do you want to break it?
6379Do? 6379 Does Maruffi know who you really are?"
6379Does he know of our part in it-- Oliveta''s part?
6379Does it mention an associate of Narcone-- a man named Cardi?
6379Does my profession tell you nothing?
6379Does n''t the bank know her whereabouts?
6379Does she play whist?
6379Drunk? 6379 Eh?
6379Eh? 6379 Eh?
6379Eh? 6379 Eh?
6379Eh?
6379Eh?
6379Even for her sake?
6379Extradition?
6379For what?
6379Forgive you? 6379 Forgiven?"
6379Four?
6379Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?
6379Gone to Messina, perhaps?
6379Gone? 6379 Has it anything to do with this Mafia we hear so much about?"
6379Have I not told you that I gave my search into other hands?
6379Have n''t you heard?
6379Have n''t you heard?
6379Have the dagoes started something?
6379Have you confided in him?
6379Have you ever seen me before?
6379Have you found the boy?
6379Have you learned anything more from your prisoners?
6379Have you seen anything?
6379Have you sent for Larubio?
6379Have you shadowed him for months without learning that he''s an officer?
6379Have you''made''him?
6379Have your eyes failed you, my good Aliandro?
6379He told you about meeting Donnelly in my office?
6379He''s only a baby, do n''t you understand? 6379 Help?
6379His name?
6379His-- name?
6379Honestly? 6379 How are the new duties and responsibilities coming on?"
6379How came you here, alone with me?
6379How can that be when you told me there was no danger?
6379How can they take it? 6379 How can you hope to stem the rage of a thousand madmen?
6379How can you say that when the same writer betrayed Narcone?
6379How could I hear anything when I''m doctored by a deaf- mute and nursed by a divinity without a tongue?
6379How did you do it?
6379How did you get this?
6379How do I know? 6379 How do they take it?"
6379How do you know you are a coward?
6379How do you manage to blame it on Bernie?
6379How in the world should I see them?
6379How so? 6379 How so?"
6379How so?
6379How''s that? 6379 I believe they are guilty-- who can doubt it?
6379I could never touch hands which were stained with the blood of defenseless men-- not even in friendship, you-- understand?
6379I do n''t see what you''re doing here at this time of day, anyhow, Blake, Have you no business responsibilities?
6379I hear nothing as yet, do you?
6379I hope a fly crawls in,said the girl, vindictively; then, in an eager whisper:"Could n''t you manage to get past him?
6379I suppose Babylon ran away?
6379I suppose Maruffi got away?
6379I suppose every one knows about the marriage?
6379I wonder what the Countess will do?
6379I''ll look, but why do n''t you take care of your things? 6379 I-- I-- Do you mean it?
6379I-- that sounds reasonable, and yet-- you are not going to the Red Wing Club any more, are you?
6379I? 6379 I?
6379I?
6379If Cardi is in the mountains behind Martinello, may he not be here at Terranova? 6379 If he is n''t one of the gang,"he cried,"what was he doing with Salvatore di Marco and Frank Garcia the night after Donnelly''s murder?
6379If you contemplate this-- step,he inquired, dully,"why have you left the hospital?"
6379If you think I''m the right man?
6379In other words, you think we ought to leave your countrymen alone?
6379In what way?
6379In? 6379 Indeed?
6379Indeed?
6379Indeed?
6379Indeed?
6379Injustice? 6379 Is Miss Fabrizi in?"
6379Is it not sufficient that old Francesca should bare her bones and become a shadow with the cares of the household? 6379 Is it possible?--this long nightmare ended at last like this?
6379Is n''t she?
6379Is not Oliveta''s word sufficient proof?
6379Is she good- looking?
6379Is that why you avoided me?
6379Is that why you discouraged my coming until a week before your wedding? 6379 Is that why you have been so silent?"
6379Is there any chance?
6379Is there any danger of smallpox, really?
6379Is this the Creole Candy Kitchen? 6379 It ca n''t be that you still care for him?"
6379It was the Contessa''s wish, then, to be we d in Sicily?
6379Jabbed him?
6379Marry? 6379 Marry?"
6379Martel? 6379 May I trust you to respect this confidence?"
6379Maybe this is your way of hiding your despair?
6379Miss Fabrizi?
6379My dear boy, you do n''t talk like a-- like a--"Southern gentleman?
6379Myra Nell,he said, severely,"did n''t you wash your hands before mixing that dough?"
6379Never?
6379No more letters, eh?
6379Now how much will you need?
6379Of course you saved it?
6379Of what use to learn a trade like mine if one can not strike true? 6379 Oliveta?
6379Poggi? 6379 Really?
6379Really?
6379Robbers?
6379Shall we cut for deal, M''sieu? 6379 She took the Donna Teresa with her?"
6379Sicily is calling you, perhaps?
6379So there''s to be a festa?
6379So you actually have the courage to propose? 6379 So you have said before, but how could he suspect?"
6379So you knew he''d turned fly cop? 6379 So?
6379Some day will you relieve me from my promise of secrecy?
6379Suppose Narcone-- er-- resists?
6379Suppose they should be acquitted?
6379Tell me, is it common thieves or outlaws whom you watch? 6379 Tell me,"he went on--"I have n''t seen you for a week-- who are you engaged to now?"
6379Tell me-- Cardi was never found?
6379That would not be quite the-- quite a nice thing to do, would it?
6379That''s who?
6379That? 6379 The Chief of Police?
6379The Countess Margherita is a famous beauty, eh? 6379 The Signore is perhaps related to our young Conte?"
6379The outlaw?
6379Then Oliveta has made some progress?
6379Then they think she betrayed the lad?
6379Then what can it be?
6379Then who has the smallpox?
6379Then why do n''t you do it?
6379Then you are losing hope?
6379Then you have consented? 6379 Then you have found your Italian girl?"
6379Then you must expect to catch the writer?
6379Then you think it is really from Cardi?
6379Then you think there will be other letters to follow this one?
6379Then you will go at once, of course?
6379Then-- you have been here-- in New Orleans for a long time?
6379There is a child among them, too; would you have his death upon your conscience?
6379These accused men are in the Parish prison, yes? 6379 They have been gone two months and you have had no word?"
6379This is very exciting, is it not?
6379This-- looks bad, does n''t it?
6379Tip who?
6379To- morrow?
6379Visiting friends?
6379Vittoria-- a_ countess!_ So, she''s the one who spoiled everything?
6379Vittoria? 6379 Was it written by a-- woman?"
6379Was n''t it his father who fought a duel with Colonel Hammond from Baton Rouge?
6379Was n''t that Myra Nell talking?
6379Well then, how would you like to be Queen of the next Mardi Gras?
6379Well, how goes your detecting, Bernie?
6379Well, she wants you roasted by some fellow named Cardi--"Eh? 6379 Well, what of that?
6379Well?
6379Well?
6379Well?
6379What are her plans?
6379What are names and reasons, anyhow? 6379 What are you doing here?"
6379What are you going to do?
6379What are you talking about?
6379What can she do that we have not already done? 6379 What consequences?"
6379What d''you mean?
6379What did he say?
6379What did the letter say?
6379What do I see? 6379 What do you mean?"
6379What do you mean?
6379What do you think?
6379What does he say?
6379What dress are you going to wear?
6379What else would take them abroad?
6379What has all this to do with me?
6379What has become of the chiffon?
6379What has happened, Signore?
6379What has he told, so far?
6379What has soured you?
6379What have they done to you?
6379What have you discovered?
6379What have you done? 6379 What is it, heart of my life?"
6379What is it? 6379 What is it?"
6379What is the trouble?
6379What is this I hear?
6379What is this you tell me? 6379 What is this?"
6379What is this?
6379What is this?
6379What is your belief?
6379What new falsehood is this?
6379What the devil has Lecompte to do with it? 6379 What then?"
6379What time is it now?
6379What was it? 6379 What were you telling Ricardo about rifles and cartridges?"
6379What work?
6379What would any one do? 6379 What would you have us do?"
6379What would you like me to do?
6379What''s happened to-- her?
6379What''s in the paper?
6379What''s she like? 6379 What''s the joke?"
6379What''s this?
6379What''s to prevent her from catching the disease and soaring away with you?
6379What''s up?
6379What''s wrong, Myra Nell?
6379What, for instance?
6379What-- what about Myra Nell?
6379What? 6379 What?
6379What?
6379What?
6379What?
6379What?
6379What?
6379When did they find him? 6379 When do you expect them to return?"
6379When? 6379 When?"
6379Where are the Contessa Margherita and her aunt?
6379Where are the others?
6379Where is Belisario Cardi?
6379Where is Colonel Neri?
6379Where is Ippolito?
6379Where is Madame la Branche?
6379Where is he, Vittoria? 6379 Where is my compensation?
6379Where is the Countess?
6379Where you frightened, Norvin?
6379Where, indeed? 6379 Where?
6379Where?
6379Who am I to rob him of a delightfully wicked past upon which he can pretend to look back in horror? 6379 Who caught him?"
6379Who does not? 6379 Who has ever seen a robber?"
6379Who in the world could have sent it?
6379Who is he?
6379Who is this?
6379Who killa da Chief?
6379Who knows? 6379 Who knows?
6379Who told you the Chief was dead?
6379Who told you to hide?
6379Who?
6379Whom?
6379Why am I wrong?
6379Why are n''t you making merry?
6379Why are you here?
6379Why did n''t you tell me?
6379Why did n''t you tell this to O''Neil?
6379Why do n''t you go fetch him?
6379Why do n''t you marry?
6379Why do n''t you tell the police?
6379Why do n''t you two end this sort of misunderstanding and-- marry?
6379Why do you call him that? 6379 Why do you think so?"
6379Why do you wait?
6379Why not? 6379 Why not?"
6379Why not?
6379Why should you pretend to be offended?
6379Why struggle longer?
6379Why that particular stand?
6379Why turn from love when Heaven wills you to receive it and learn to be a woman? 6379 Why-- are you-- really-- going-- and alone?"
6379Why? 6379 Why?"
6379Will you do me the honor to be my wife?
6379Will you give me time to prove you wrong?
6379Will you stand there and let me perish? 6379 Wo n''t you even wait until I return?"
6379Would you then have me unhappily married?
6379Yes? 6379 You are familiar with our Italian problem, are n''t you?"
6379You are then in business? 6379 You do n''t mean to deny you have a bewildering train of admirers?"
6379You do n''t really mean he''s that sort?
6379You do n''t really think there has been any mistake?
6379You do not exact a reckoning from your enemies in America?
6379You do?
6379You have-- abandoned the search?
6379You intend to-- kill those men?
6379You know him?
6379You know how the Chief relied on me?
6379You know, of course, that I returned to Sicily, and that I followed you?
6379You know? 6379 You mean he''s engaged to her?"
6379You mean the Quatrones may try to break you?
6379You mean to bring those men to justice?
6379You mean we should have lynched those fellows as they were taken?
6379You mean you''re out of candy, I suppose?
6379You mean, in plain words-- lynch them?
6379You mean,--Blake''s manner changed quickly--"there may be enemies?"
6379You must know that you''re an utterly immoral person?
6379You no longer think it came from one of the Pallozzo gang?
6379You predict trouble for me, then?
6379You promise?
6379You say he is dead?
6379You sympathize with her?
6379You think I have compromised you?
6379You think it''s on the level?
6379You think she wo n''t have you, eh? 6379 You think so, eh?
6379You think so?
6379You think there is a Capo- Mafia?
6379You thought of me even before we were drawn together by this net of chance?
6379You will go back to Oliveta''s house?
6379You will not harm me?
6379You wo n''t have to testify against him in those what- do- you- call-''em proceedings?
6379You work for the public good, at the risk of your life? 6379 You would do a great deal to protect the Countess, would you not?"
6379You would shoot them down, like caged animals?
6379You''d have voted for eleven hemp neckties, eh?
6379You-- you love him?
6379You? 6379 You?"
6379Your friend, the nurse?
6379Your home is in Sicily, is it not?
6379A fine man to trust, eh?
6379A happy state for man and wife, is it not?
6379After a moment''s hesitation she added:"Norvin dear, what does it cost to rent the front page of a newspaper?"
6379After a painful effort to control himself he inquired, with rolling eyes,"S- say, Norvin, will there be any fighting-- any d- d- danger?"
6379After an instant more, he queried,"You are perhaps a friend of that thrice- blessed angel, my padrona?"
6379After an instant she inquired, gently,"Oliveta, what shall we do?"
6379After an instant''s pause he said:"I''ll act any part you cast me for, but do n''t you think it is work for trained officers like you and this Corte?"
6379After such a scene?
6379Ah, my good friend, then you have loved?"
6379Aliandro?
6379Am I right?"
6379Am I right?"
6379Am I right?"
6379Am I right?"
6379Am I right?"
6379Am I still dreaming?"
6379And he was afraid to go with us to- night?"
6379And now tell me, how is the poor child bearing up?"
6379And now, what do you think?
6379And now, yourself?
6379And now-- I-- I''m-- afraid--""What do you fear?"
6379And that dago woman is one of the Mafia?
6379And that will be a picture to look back upon, eh?
6379And what, think you, those two young giants are doing all the day?
6379And who knows?
6379And you?
6379And, Bernie-- have you seen my white satin slippers?"
6379Are n''t you going to storm and-- and raise the dickens?"
6379Are you hurt?"
6379As Dreux made no answer, he inquired,"She is willing, of course?"
6379Assuming a hollow tone, she inquired:"Do you see any other change in me?"
6379At length he asked,"Will she take the stand at the trial?"
6379Before it is too late, tell me, where is Belisario Cardi?"
6379Bernie said nothing for a moment, and then inquired quietly:"What do you know about Felicite?"
6379Bernie whispered:"He lent me the money, y''understand?
6379Blake drew out a chair for her; his eyes were twinkling as he said,"Wo n''t you allow him to explain?"
6379Blake inquired, curiously,"Does he really love her?"
6379Blake, who had listened eagerly, inquired:"The man was Maruffi?"
6379But did n''t you think of me?"
6379But granting that he is Narcone, how can you get him out of New Orleans?
6379But tell me"--he turned to the Chief of Police--"who is to follow this brigand?
6379But tell me, did you discover that murderer creature?"
6379But tell me, is this plan your own, or did Bernie Dreux suggest it?"
6379But were you not-- afraid?"
6379But what can they do?
6379But what do you mean?"
6379But what if I could lay hands upon him?
6379But what is our important business?"
6379But who is your informant?"
6379But why has no one ever seen him?"
6379But--""But what?"
6379By what means could he remain in such intimate touch with the workings of the Mafia, and what reason impelled him to betray its members?
6379By what possible authority do you decree the destruction of your fellow- men whom the law has adjudged innocent?"
6379Ca n''t you make this concession to my fears, my conscience, my beliefs?
6379Ca n''t you make this sacrifice for me?
6379Coming close to him, she inquired:"Has something gone amiss?
6379Could it be that the Mafia had taken this means of attacking him, knowing of his affection for the girl?
6379Could it be that they were so utterly blind?
6379Could n''t you sally forth and drag in Lecompte or Murray or Raymond?"
6379D''you suppose you would know him again after four years?"
6379D- don''t you see?"
6379Did he grind his teeth at you?"
6379Did n''t he just say he loved you?
6379Did n''t you frisk him?"
6379Did not Signore Blake remember him?"
6379Did the wing of sorrow brush your brow?"
6379Did-- you do this?"
6379Do I not love you, the Countess, and-- and-- perhaps a few others?"
6379Do n''t you know it''s wrong, wicked, vile?
6379Do n''t you think so?
6379Do n''t you understand, dear?
6379Do n''t you-- understand?"
6379Do rummage around and find it for me, wo n''t you?
6379Do you believe it?"
6379Do you hear anything from the city?"
6379Do you intend to marry me, Myra Nell?"
6379Do you need me?"
6379Do you not understand?"
6379Do you realize that this is the year 1886?
6379Do you realize what his capture means?
6379Do you recall a night four years ago?
6379Do you refuse to save me?"
6379Do you remember that dago Misetti who jumped from here into your parish when you were sheriff?"
6379Do you remember what happened then?
6379Do you see that fellow-- that wop next to Caesar Maruffi?"
6379Do you seriously think you are-- er-- fitted for it?"
6379Do you think I would drag you, my best friend, into danger?"
6379Do you think I''m entirely lacking in pride?
6379Do you think Signore Blake will yield to your appeal and turn the mob?"
6379Do you think the people will spare them if they take the others?"
6379Does Myra Nell know who you are?"
6379Does he know she did that?
6379Does he know?"
6379Does he not risk his life for this miserable Committee of yours?
6379Does she pet you and call you funny names and ruffle your hair the way I do?"
6379Donnelly broke in,"What do you hear regarding our capture of Sabella?"
6379Donnelly was within arm''s- length of Narcone before he spoke; then he said, quietly,"Going to leave the city, Sabella?"
6379Eh, Ricardo?"
6379Eh?
6379Eh?
6379Eh?
6379Eh?
6379Eh?"
6379Even yet there was no coherent speech and the people merely stared at one another or inquired, dully:"What did he say?
6379Everything you have seen so far is reasonably modern, eh?"
6379Fine situation to exist in the midst of a law- abiding American community, is n''t it?"
6379For a moment he stood listening to their talk, and then, at the first pause, interposed without ceremony:"Tell me-- what is being done?"
6379Gian Narcone?"
6379HE GROWLED,"I PLAY MY OWN GAME, AND I LOSE"HE WRESTLED FOR POSSESSION OF THE GUN"P- PLEASE DON''T KILL YOURSELF, DEAR?
6379Has Sabella a sweetheart?"
6379Have n''t I dreamed about it ever since T was a baby?
6379Have n''t I lived for it?
6379Have you arrested Larubio, the cobbler?"
6379Have you ever heard of-- Belisario Cardi?"
6379Have you ever seen her so beautiful?"
6379Have you never been afraid?"
6379Have you really seen him?
6379Have you waited long?"
6379He did it with my consent, y''understand?
6379He leaped from his mud- stained buggy, demanding, hoarsely:"Where is he-- Maruffi?"
6379He put out his hand to sustain her, but she shrank away from him, saying, faintly:"Then he is captured?
6379He rose and, eying Dreux intently, inquired,"Will you go along and help me take him?"
6379He sent his own daughter Lucrezia to Terranova when the Contessa was still a child, and what is the result?
6379He squinted respectfully at a small note which Martel handed him, then inquired,"Do you wish change?"
6379He was beginning to breathe easier when a voice barely an arm''s- length away inquired, gruffly:"Who''s there?"
6379He would still be true to Martel, for how could he protect her better than by making her his wife?
6379He''s a Mafioso himself-- eh, Caesar?"
6379His eyes, though bright with affection, were grave-- something unusual in him-- and the other inquired, quickly:"There''s nothing wrong, I hope?"
6379His wife inquired, timidly,"Have your affairs gone disastrously?"
6379His words were directed at Margherita, who answered in a thin, shrill, broken voice:"What-- are you doing-- here?"
6379How can I help?"
6379How could he notify the whole district, when all his preparations have been completed?
6379How could she be out?
6379How could that be possible?
6379How dared he say these things?
6379How is Myra Nell?"
6379How is that?
6379How many men will you need to take this Normando?"
6379How much longer will this outrage be permitted?"
6379How then can you dare to take it?
6379How will you go about it?"
6379However, we may find something; who can tell?
6379I do n''t even want to hear from you except--""What?"
6379I do n''t think we''ve ever been engaged, have we?"
6379I felt as if I had failed you at the critical moment, just as I failed--""As you failed whom?"
6379I just love you to pieces, of course, but I ca n''t allow our engagement to interfere with the success of the Carnival, can I?"
6379I merely will not let him love another, that is all-- But what is this you say?"
6379I promised Martel--""You promised?
6379I suppose they''ve marked me for revenge?"
6379I suppose you know I''m horribly jealous of her?"
6379I want some one to nurse me when I fall ill.""What makes you think you''ll catch it?
6379I want to make good on my own merits, understand?
6379I''m not_ dreaming_?"
6379I''m sorry, old man-- I like you, y''understand?"
6379I-- I--""First, wo n''t you explain how you happened to come looking for me?"
6379If Maruffi had not written them, who then?
6379If he knew where and when, why would n''t he know how and who?"
6379If they''re so honest and peaceable, why do n''t they come out and help us run down the malefactors?"
6379If this thing runs through the regular channels, what will happen?
6379In a lower tone the Colonel urged:"For the love of our Saviour, can you not send the Contessa away?
6379Is it not disgusting?
6379Is it not sufficient that she performs the labor of twenty in caring for the padrone?
6379Is it not the devil''s task to prepare the many outlandish delicacies he learned to eat in his travels?
6379Is it true, Signore, that in America any one who wishes may be rich?"
6379Is n''t she a dear, Norvin?
6379Is that hideous watchman still at his post?"
6379Is that you, O''Connell?
6379Is there anything new?"
6379Is there no admirable American lady?"
6379Is this Blake?"
6379Is-- is there any--"He relaxed suddenly, and after an instant''s hesitation inquired,"What do you mean?"
6379It is rather that you should have at least tried-- that is how you feel, is it not?
6379It is the only past he will ever have, so why spoil it for him?
6379It is the work of some brigand--""What is the difference?
6379It was all right, under the circumstances, everything being settled but the date, y''understand?"
6379It was rather nice of him, but do you think he''ll care to continue our engagement after this?"
6379Leading the way into the library, he placed the lamp upon a table, then, turning to his unbidden guest, inquired, coldly,"Well?"
6379Like it?
6379Ma che?"
6379Martel had put a trust in him, and what could be more important than to prevent her from carrying out this fantastic enterprise?
6379Maruffi is arrested?
6379Maruffi turned back to Norvin, saying:"So, you identified the murderer of your friend Savigno?
6379Maruffi?
6379May I ask in what line you are engaged?"
6379Meanwhile we''re engaged, are n''t we?"
6379Meanwhile, do you think you are entirely safe in that foreign quarter?"
6379Miss Delord stamped a ridiculously small foot and cried again, oblivious of all save her black jealousy:"Where is she, I say?
6379No one has been killed?"
6379Norvin, do you think red ink would hurt a cake?"
6379Norvin-- is it really nougat?"
6379Now I am almost sorry--""But why-- if you have forgiven me; how could you be so indifferent?
6379Now he has threatened my life also-- does that count for nothing with you?"
6379O''Connell fell into step with him, saying, incredulously:"And he came without a fight?
6379O''Neil drew him aside, inquiring,"Will he live?"
6379Of course Miss Myra Nell does n''t suspect?"
6379Oh, my friend, ca n''t you stop it?
6379Oh, you--_brute!_"By this time Dreux had recovered his power of speech, and yelled in furious voice:"Who is the reptile?"
6379Once more he asked:"But where?
6379Once more he changed, under the spell of the masterly State''s attorney, and declared with fierce exultance:"What did I tell you?
6379Perhaps you will wish me as much happiness as I wish you both?"
6379Poggi?"
6379Rather clever, for an amateur, eh?"
6379Really?"
6379Remarkable, eh?
6379Shall I take time to think it over, or shall I answer now?"
6379Shall you take your breakfast in your room, as usual?"
6379She gave him her hand, and he pressed it closely, whispering:"When shall I see you again?"
6379She laid her hand upon his arm and said, earnestly,"You will be careful?"
6379She nodded, then turned to Blake with a look of entreaty,"P- please do n''t kill yourself, dear?
6379So far, they have confined their operations to their own people, but what''s to prevent them from spreading out?
6379So this is the castello?
6379So, the result?
6379Tell me quickly what has made you so indiscreet?"
6379Tell me what has happened?
6379Tell what?
6379That is awkward, is it not?
6379That is no part of her scheme of vengeance, you understand?
6379The funeral is at twelve?
6379The girl, who had evidently kept watch for her, met her at the door, and inquired, nervously:"What news?
6379The neck and cheeks were likewise golden, or was it the light from her splendid crown?
6379The representative of the Board of Health inquired, loudly:"Did n''t the doctors tell you that nobody could come or go, Mr. La Branche?"
6379Then he had reason to suspect?"
6379Then when you find that the policemen will not hurt you, you will tell us all about it, eh, carino?"
6379Then why these capers?
6379Then you plan to come back?
6379Then, after a pause,"Norvin, how does a person get red ink off of her hands?"
6379There is still a profit in them, I suppose?"
6379There would be consequences, you understand?
6379They argued with him, all at once, and in the midst of the confusion which ensued a new voice called from the darkness:"What have you there?"
6379Think you that I, or any Sicilian, would dare?
6379Think you that the gods would permit my wedding- day to be marred?
6379To his surprise Bernie burst out angrily:"How dare she?"
6379Turning with a wistful smile, she asked:"And have you now and then remembered that Sicilian girl you knew so long ago?"
6379Was he a tall, dangerous- looking man?
6379Was he never to escape these maddening questions of duty-- never to be free to pursue his heart''s desire?
6379Was she-- beautiful?"
6379We are associates in business; business of a most important-- But what does that term signify to you, my precious ladybird?
6379We wo n''t talk of it any more, eh?"
6379Were you ever in Sicily?"
6379Were you exposed?"
6379What are worries and hopes and despairs?
6379What could be more abominable?"
6379What could be wrong with me now that you are here?
6379What did he do?
6379What do women know of business?
6379What do you advise?"
6379What do you say?
6379What do you think Lecompte will say?"
6379What do you think of this, zia mia?
6379What does Rome know about the Mafia?
6379What evil of the blood, what lesion of the brain, had distorted his instincts so monstrously?
6379What excuse could he give without confessing his fear and making himself liable to a later and stronger attack?"
6379What faint familiar echo did his voice possess?
6379What for?"
6379What had Martel done to warrant this?"
6379What happens?
6379What has come over me?"
6379What has she been up to now?"
6379What has that to do with it?"
6379What have you done?"
6379What have you heard?"
6379What have you to say?
6379What have_ you_ been doing?"
6379What hellish methods did he follow to wield such despotism?
6379What if she should come to care for him?
6379What influence had perverted such intellect into a weapon of iniquity?
6379What is all the mystery?"
6379What is he to you?"
6379What is it?"
6379What is this about Cardi?"
6379What is this?"
6379What is to be done?"
6379What is your answer?"
6379What kind of man can he be to_ tell_ of his loan, to make it public that the very dresses which cover me were bought with his money?"
6379What made you ask if that letter was written by a woman?
6379What manner of man was this Cardi?
6379What more natural than for her to wish never to see it again?
6379What more natural, he reasoned, than for Blake to wish his future wife to accept the highest social honor that New Orleans can confer?
6379What more natural, then, than that he should"wish to test Donnelly''s successor with the utmost care before proceeding with his disclosures?"
6379What more natural, therefore, than for some Mafioso to try to frighten me and profit by the dreaded name of Cardi?
6379What ought to happen?"
6379What protection is left us, when our highest police official is slain in our very midst by the Mafia and his assassins turned loose upon us?
6379What would happen?
6379What would you have me tell?"
6379What would you think of an onyx clock with gold cupids straddling around over it?"
6379What''s he doing now with Caesar Maruffi if he is n''t after him for money?"
6379What''s his name?"
6379What?"
6379What?"
6379When the little man had gone Norvin inquired:"You knew of Maruffi''s arrest?"
6379When?''
6379Where is Belisario Cardi?"
6379Where is she?"
6379Where was she?"
6379Where?"
6379Where?"
6379Where?"
6379Where?"
6379Which one of her many admirers had the delightful effrontery to court her thus ardently beneath a thousand eyes?
6379Who are you to raise yourself above that power which is supreme?"
6379Who better than I could attend to him?"
6379Who could he be?
6379Who did this?"
6379Who does not?
6379Who else can do it?"
6379Who is he?"
6379Who is this fellow he''s trailing?"
6379Who knows what may be waiting?"
6379Who or what could the writer be?
6379Who would have expected to see you?
6379Who''s he?"
6379Why are_ you_ here?"
6379Why care what people say if you''re happy with each other and unhappy when apart?"
6379Why did they not accuse him openly instead of staring with wide, shocked eyes?
6379Why do n''t you go out and have a good time?
6379Why do n''t you help me out, Caesar?"
6379Why do n''t you talk to the yellow- haired nurse?"
6379Why do you doubt?
6379Why fight it longer?"
6379Why have we never met?"
6379Why not?"
6379Why should I wish to do that?"
6379Why should n''t I?
6379Why, oh, why, Margherita?"
6379Why, then, could not a coward school himself to become brave?
6379Why_ did_ you do such an atrocious thing?"
6379Will somebody get me a drink?"
6379Will they return soon?"
6379Will you assume a large responsibility?
6379Will you come?"
6379Will you help me?"
6379Will you look him over, Norvin, and see if he''s the right party?"
6379Will you really be at liberty this evening?"
6379Will you ride in the cart or on horseback?
6379Will you take the lead in a popular movement to help the enforcement of the law-- organize a committee?"
6379With Oliveta gone what would be left?
6379With a desperate effort the girl inquired:"D-- do you love me, Norvin?"
6379With a flash of interest Blake inquired:"What is she like?
6379With breathless intensity she inquired:"Tell me, Bunnie, is she pretty?"
6379Wo n''t you give it up?"
6379Wo n''t you run out and meet her?
6379Would he ever bring himself to implicate the man, or men, higher up?
6379Would his own face recall to the fellow''s mind that night in the forest of Terranova and set his fears aflame?
6379Would n''t any girl give her eyes to be queen?"
6379Would the Signore care to see the horses?"
6379You agree, my friend?"
6379You are safe?
6379You are shocked?
6379You are the''One Who Knows''?"
6379You are well?"
6379You do not object?"
6379You forgive me?"
6379You have never seen a Sicilian merrymaking?
6379You have no suspicions, eh?"
6379You know him, do n''t you?"
6379You know him?"
6379You know the history of our struggle with the Mafia?"
6379You still believe there is such a person?"
6379You understand me?
6379You understand?
6379You understand?"
6379You understand?"
6379You understand?"
6379You will do this for me?"
6379You will excuse me?"
6379You will tell me about it?"
6379You wo n''t be cowardly enough to yield?"
6379You wo n''t get mixed up in it, will you?
6379You wonder why?
6379You would n''t rob me of my manhood?"
6379You would not have me change it?"
6379You''re not fooling?
6379You-- think I''d better do the trick?"
6379You_ have_ suffered, have you not?"
6379[ Illustration:"P- PLEASE DON''T KILL YOURSELF, DEAR?
6379_ Is_ it, really?"
6379he cried, in torture;"do n''t you see I have no choice?
6379said Blake; then pushing himself forward, he addressed the captive in Italian,"Where is Belisario Cardi?"
