47385Wo n''t you sit down?
47385Would you mind writin''down your order, Mis''Rogers? 47385 Would-- would you go away to- day?"
47385Would-- you-- you-- kiss me-- just-- once? 47385 Yes,--why not?"
47385You got my note?
47385You want me, then, to change my love to friendship?
47385You will play to me? 47385 You''ll help me, wo n''t you?"
47385You''re not going out again to- night, are you Kitty?
47385Your heart''s in the old place, is n''t it-- at the end of your esophagus?
47385_ Falling leaf, and fading tree._Oh, why should she sing that?
47385A Mistress of Art A Mistress of Art"You''re not going out again this evening, are you, George?"
47385A bright idea( as he thought) occurred to him-- why not?
47385After an embarrassing silence Hayward spoke:"I think you know the man now,--will you tell me what you think of his pictures?"
47385Ai n''t you got room enough in the store to walk?"
47385Am I right?"
47385Am I right?"
47385And Pedro?
47385And then he''ll come and catch you at it, and where will you be then?"
47385And who was the master?

47385Are they painting billboards?"
47385Are you all alone?"
47385Are you here?"
47385Are you then a musician?
47385Brown?"
47385Ca n''t you forget about it?"
47385Can you ever forgive me?"
47385Can you leave me now?"
47385Can you slip the rope over your head?"
47385Could it be?
47385Crying?
47385Dear God, why must it be?"
47385Did Mickey behave to- day?"
47385Did n''t you get my wire?"
47385Did n''t you want me?"
47385Did you ever feel a thing like that?"
47385Did you ever?"
47385Do n''t you love me well enough to let me help you?"
47385Do n''t you think I''d rather be here to- night with you, than to have the money without you?"
47385Do n''t you want to?
47385Do you hear?"
47385Do you think that if I could buy death I would n''t take it and come down there beside you?
47385Dorothy smiled with white lips, and tried to say pleasantly,"Yes, Mrs. Brown is very charming, do n''t you think so?
47385Elmiry Ann''s Valentine Elmiry Ann''s Valentine"Si,"said Mrs. Safford,"did n''t Elmiry Ann Rogers come in here to- day to buy a valentine?"
47385Even if you would n''t wear the rose, wo n''t you let me hold you just a minute as I used to do?"
47385Faulty, erring and selfish, I see myself, now, but will you take me just as I am?"
47385For what?"
47385From a Human Standpoint From a Human Standpoint"Will the madam please walk in to supper?"
47385Had he forgotten?
47385Had she been dreaming of her"House Beautiful"then?
47385Had she?
47385Has that fellow Jackson come between us?"
47385Has your clocks stopped, so''s you do n''t know it''s afternoon?
47385Have you nothing to say to me, Helen?"
47385Have you seen Tom this week?"
47385He went up- stairs, expecting to hear her say:"Is that you, dear?"
47385Here are authors, musicians, poets, painters and playwrights-- could one be in better company?"
47385How did things go with you?"
47385How early did you get yours?"
47385How long had he been following her?
47385How short the ride had been that night and why was the coachman in such an unreasonable hurry to get home?
47385How''s biz?"
47385I have no right to insult you, Marian, but will you take me back?"
47385I love you, do you understand?
47385I made a great mistake-- Elmiry, dear, wo n''t you never forgive me?"
47385Is n''t he lovely?"
47385Is n''t it?"
47385Is n''t that enough?"
47385Is n''t there room in your life for love and work too?"
47385Is there anything more I can say?
47385Is there anything you want?"
47385It is one of my own compositions-- I have never written it all down-- where-- where did you learn it?"
47385It said:"''The rose is red, the violet blue, Pinks are sweet and so are you; Give me your heart, you have mine-- Will you be my valentine?''"
47385It''s early, is n''t it?"
47385Just at dawn, he said weakly:"Miss Atherton?"
47385Lemme see-- it''s three months now since he''s been home, ai n''t it?"
47385Look here, young woman, did you ever hear of a syndicate?"
47385Lovely day, is n''t it?
47385No?
47385Oh, do n''t you see what we have?
47385On their way home Mrs. Boyce said:"Bob, why do n''t you go into business with your uncle and become a good American citizen?
47385Out of the clouds was the chariot coming for_ him_?
47385Out of the darkness came the sound of music-- was it a violin?
47385Robert laughed and drew her closer:"It''s strictly international, is n''t it?
47385See?"
47385See?"
47385See?"
47385Seeing the key of the room in his hand, she turned to him and said:"Pardon me, but can you tell me whose pictures these are?"
47385She opened it as Jack sauntered slowly up the walk and passed her with the remark:"Dinner ready?
47385She voiced only the simple question which women of all ages have asked in the midst of a cruel hurt--"Why?
47385So you went Tuesday night?
47385Strange that we should meet, ai n''t it?
47385Surely you''re not afraid now?"
47385The hero of the day turned to those who were with him:"Will some of you fellows get a carriage?
47385The master spoke with difficulty--"You are come, then, my friend-- my boy?"
47385The terrified child dropped the instrument to ward off a blow, but the father said, with a tremor in his voice:"Is it so, my boy?
47385There are n''t any neighbours, are there?"
47385They walked on in silence until Jack said:"Well, Bennett, what is it?
47385To hear again that infinite music?
47385To him?
47385To learn?
47385To play?
47385Was it all his own?
47385Was n''t he fine?"
47385We''ve waited too long, an''I want you to come and be my valentine-- will you, dear?"
47385Weeks,"she cried in astonishment,"what''s took you all of a sudden?"
47385Weeks?"
47385Were such words ever before addressed by a tyrannical wife to a devoted husband?
47385What I want to ask is, will you try it with me?"
47385What did you tell him?"
47385What do you suppose it is?"
47385What do you think would become of your country if all the men were like you?"
47385What does he look like?
47385What if they have failed?
47385What is it this time?"
47385What is it?
47385What is the likes of yez to know about art?"
47385What sort of man is he?"
47385What you steppin''on my feet for, Aureely?
47385What''s new?"
47385Where should he go?
47385Who in creation was"Johnnie?"
47385Why ai n''t she a right to buy a valentine if she wants one?"
47385Why ar''n''t you in the ranks, fighting like a man?
47385Why do n''t you just sensibly drop me?"
47385Why should n''t you just be happy and let the work take care of itself?
47385Why, what is it, sweetheart?"
47385Will you go to the theatre with me on Monday evening?
47385Will you have a little of the quail?"
47385Will you wear one when you sing the second time?
47385Wo n''t you come?"
47385Would Launcelot hesitate with Guenevere in need?
47385Would Pedro come and play for him?
47385Would n''t it be funny if it were Jack Gardner?"
47385Would that bar him out?
47385Would that interminable symphony never be finished?
47385Would you go-- on your wheel?"
47385Would you mind taking those in addition to your own?"
47385You know how gladly you would do the same for me; why wo n''t you let me do it for you?
47385You love me then?
47385You remember I told you about the woman who came in last week with a yearning to do''lit''ery work''?"
47385You take two lumps of sugar, do n''t you?"
47385You were lonesome, wer''n''t you, sweetheart?
47385You will play?"

47385asked the Other Man,"when I came?"
47385do you mean to tell me you''ve been postmaster for fourteen year an''ai n''t never noticed that Elmiry Ann Rogers_ gets_ a valentine every year?"
47385he exclaimed;"why did n''t you let me know you wanted to come?"
47385she cried,"where do they grow?"
47385was it an echo or his own soul playing upon his quivering heartstrings the minor chord?
20247Afraid of what?
20247Alone? 20247 And about the spider?"
20247And the price?
20247And you''re the clerk?

20247Do you call it square for a man-- married, and gray- haired, too-- to take up with a woman like Mrs. Shellberg? 20247 Do you think it needs reshingling?"
20247Do you think it''s so bad as that? 20247 Do you?

20247Who is he? 20247 Who mad?
20247Who the hell y''take me for? 20247 Who?"
20247Why did n''t you come down with the baroosh?
20247Why did n''t you get into the basket?
20247Why do n''t you teach?
20247Why not?
20247Why, Ed, what''s the matter?
20247Why, how dare he make love to my niece? 20247 Why, what do you mean?"
20247Why, what more could you ask? 20247 Why, what''s the matter, Maudie?
20247Why, why!--what is it? 20247 Why-- why-- what do you mean?"
20247Will you ask her to come here a moment?
20247Will you ride?
20247Wo n''t you read to me?
20247Wo n''t you sit down and play for us?
20247Wo n''t you sit down by the fire?
20247Would you go if I asked you?
20247Yes; know him?
20247You act like a jeal----"Jealous of that gray- haired old wretch? 20247 You read Latin?"
20247You think I lie, then?
20247You''re very strong, are n''t you?
20247Yup; nice little scheme, ai n''t it?
20247After Williams went out Field said,"I wonder if he''ll do it?"
20247After a decent pause the younger man said"Going to Kesota, are you?"
20247After a little--"Don''t you remember, Mattie''how beautiful the moonlight seemed?
20247After a pause she said:"You were raised on a farm?"
20247After a short and vigorous"blowing up,"Albert said:"Well, now, what''s the meaning of all this, anyhow?
20247Ai n''t they somethin''?"
20247Ai n''t y''got any sense?
20247Ai n''t your fever risin''?"
20247Albert, do you know me?"
20247Almost the first thing she asked was,"How is Williams?"
20247Am I in your way?"
20247Are there many teams out?"
20247Are they all like that?"
20247As he looked at them the thought came to him, What is the goodness of a girl-- of a child?
20247As they streamed away in files she said:"Is n''t he good- looking?
20247At last she contrived to say,"How did you find the roof?"
20247At last she turned with a sudden impulse:"O Tom, why ca n''t we be friends again?
20247Bert, old fellow, are you there?"
20247Brann?"
20247But the horse-- is he gentle?"
20247But what can we do?
20247But what cared the drivers?
20247But what had you planned to do after your divorce?"
20247But you''ll come back?"
20247By the way, everybody I talked with to- day about leaving said,''What''s Lohr going to do with that girl?''
20247By the way, you''re a theolog, are n''t you?"
20247Ca n''t it go faster?
20247Ca n''t something be done for him?"
20247Ca n''t you let a thing rest?
20247Ca n''t you trust me?"
20247Ca n''t you trust to that insight of which women are supposed to be happily possessed?"
20247Course I ca n''t ask Jim to stay and read all the time, and he''s a bad reader, anyway; wo n''t you?"
20247Did n''t the old lady have a time of it raisin''me?
20247Did the Galilean forbid love and joy?
20247Did you get a chill?"
20247Did you strike her?"
20247Did you want to see me?"
20247Dis goes troo de way it began, or we do n''t play-- see?"
20247Do n''t make fun of him, will you?
20247Do n''t ye think so, love?"
20247Do n''t yo''want the minister to be sent for?"
20247Do n''t you hear him?
20247Do n''t you know you ca n''t safely abuse that young fellow in her hearing?
20247Do n''t you think so?"
20247Do n''t you_ wish_ I would n''t?
20247Do people still eat brown sugar?
20247Do you do that?"
20247Do you feel the draft there?
20247Do you know what I mean?"
20247Do you know, few women know what that means?
20247Do you think I''ll get my divorce?"
20247Do you think she will?
20247Does it, Art?"
20247Edith tipped her eager little face up at him:"Really?"
20247Expect to meet friends there?"
20247FALSE COIN OR TRUE?
20247Father and Uncle Marsden shook hands----""What?"
20247Funny how things go, ai n''t it?
20247Goin''t''take y''r girl out, hey?"
20247Great scheme, that sociable, eh?
20247Have you been quarreling?
20247Have you seen Mott?"
20247He greeted her as his equal, and said:"Is Miss Newell at home?"
20247He stopped in his dressing to say,"We''ve struck a great boarding place, hey?"
20247Her voice shook painfully as she replied:"You do n''t think I''m_ all_ bad?"
20247Hired man?"
20247How are you?
20247How could they?"
20247How could those dreadful men fight about me?
20247How do you find yourself?"
20247How is he?"
20247I feel as certain that we can be happy together as I am of life, so I come back to my question, Are you free to marry me?"
20247I like theaters, do n''t you?"
20247I never thought I''d come to this-- did you?
20247I told''em I did n''t know; do you?
20247I wonder how they came to build a town without a row of battlemented stores?"
20247I wonder if ol''sorrel can pass''em?"
20247If you want''o set dis community by de ears agin, you do dat ting-- see?
20247In such air, in such sun, who could die?
20247Is he awake?"
20247Is n''t he savage?"
20247Is n''t it still?
20247Is she pretty?"
20247It''s awful to be a woman, do n''t you think so?
20247Joe Bent, a smallish man, with a weak, good- natured face, asked in a hoarse whisper:"How is she, Mis''Ridings?"
20247Just hitch the horses, will you?
20247Just in?
20247Looking for a school, eh?
20247Lovely things to play with, ai n''t they?"
20247Make it bucks?"
20247Mattie cried out to her mother in quick, low voice,"O mother, how is he?"
20247Miner?"
20247Miss Welsh, will you attend the festivity of the evening under my guidance and protection?"
20247Mother sick?"
20247Mrs. Blakesly turned and saw Ware close behind her, and said,"O Mr. Ware, where is my dear, dear husband?"
20247Not Joe?"
20247Now I call that splendid; do n''t you?
20247Now keep_ quiet_, or have I got t''make yeh?"
20247Now look here-- how''s this?
20247Now the question is, can you find a place for me?"
20247Now, Major, you see what I told you?"
20247O Marthy, what''ll become o''them?
20247Of course you played?"
20247Oh, when can I go?"
20247Ramsey, do you think that millet has got water enough?"
20247Ramsey?"
20247Ramsey?"
20247Ransey?"
20247Say, do you, now?"
20247Say, you''re a good one, you are?
20247Shall I put down the curtain?"
20247She did n''t need to go there every day or two, did she?
20247She fell silent here, and Morris was forced to ask,"What did he do then?"
20247She often spoke of him, and on the following Saturday night, when Field came home, she anxiously asked,"Is Williams in town?"
20247She resented his classing her with the rest, but she simply said:"You despise me, do n''t you?
20247She told her husband about Williams, and ended by asking,"Ca n''t we do anything to help the poor fellow?"
20247Shellberg?"
20247Still I put it in this way, y''kneow-- if he were n''t so deadly sentimental, what could n''t the fellow do, y''kneow?"
20247The woman with the children inquired for the tenth time,"Is the next station Lodi?"
20247The world was all bright then-- wasn''t it?
20247Then he asked,"Who is the yoong mon?"
20247There was a weary droop in her voice; she seemed aware of it, and said more brightly:"You mean Marion, I suppose?"
20247There, will that do?"
20247These nasty little Western colleges-- what do they amount to?
20247They all drew up noisily, and Allen said:"Ask the blessing, sir?"
20247They do n''t run freight such nights as this?"
20247Two delicate women struggling along; suppose one of''em should fall sick?
20247Upon whom does the burden of guilt lie?"
20247Want some breakfast?
20247Want y''r hands washed and y''r hair combed?"
20247Was she a girl?
20247We used to string sweet- williams on spears of grass-- don''t you remember?"
20247Were the others less in need of grace?"
20247Were you reading?"
20247What brings you here?"
20247What could he say to them?
20247What did he always receive her in his private office for?
20247What do the women do out here?"
20247What do you suppose they said of me?"
20247What do you think you can do by crowding on top of him?"
20247What good would it do me to go to school another year, come out without a dollar, and no more fitted for earning a living for her than I am now?
20247What kind of a school?"
20247What kind of work?"
20247What seems the matter?"
20247What was it about?"
20247What was it?"
20247What you doin''out such a day as this?
20247What''s been going on here since my absence?"
20247What''s the matter-- sick?"
20247What''s the matter?"
20247What_ is_ the matter o''you?"
20247When did it happen?"
20247When did you come down?"
20247When did you come?"
20247When he came back again, the brakeman said to Albert, in a hesitating way:"Ai n''t going t''stop off long, I s''pose?"
20247When is our train due?"
20247When?
20247Where are you staying?"
20247Where did the young beggah get his science?"
20247Where''d you learn all that, anyway?"
20247Where''s Ben Holly''s claim?"
20247Who shall say they did not right?
20247Who''s been hurtin''my poor little bird?"
20247Why did n''t you let me know?"
20247Why did n''t you stand up like a man?"
20247Why did n''t you telegraph me at Marion?
20247Why not come right up to my boarding place, and to- morrow I''ll introduce you?
20247Why not put it off fifteen or twenty years?"
20247Why should Williams study her husband''s hands?
20247Why should this young fellow be going abeout defending the good name of his niece?
20247Why this change from Racine?"
20247Why, Bert, look here-- No?
20247Why?"
20247Wo n''t you come?
20247You ca n''t expect us to live with men we hate, can you?
20247You deon''t allow your mind to go that fah?"
20247You do n''t?
20247You know how kind o''lily- livered Lawyer Ransom is?
20247You play dat confidence game and dey''ll rat ye-- see?
20247You see, they need a man around the house, so we-- You''ll come, wo n''t you, old fellow?
20247You understand?"
20247You would n''t have me wipe it_ six_ times a day, would you?"
20247_ Ca n''t_ you hurry?"
20247ai n''t that lovely?"
20247he shouted,"what''s all this?
20247how''d it happen?"
20247must you go?
20247said a breathless, hearty voice,"what the deuce y''been doing with my pardner?
20247that you?"
20247that''s got around to you, has it?
20247the elder woman readily agreed;"but why do n''t you ask what it was all about?"
20247there''s a sociable to- morrow night; I guess we''d better go, had n''t we?"
20247why did n''t you shout?
20247will yeh?
20247would n''t they talk?"
15473A girl that you cared about?
15473ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? 15473 About what?"
15473Again?'' 15473 Ai n''t that me all over?
15473Am I going to lie in this hole all my life?
15473And Higgins?
15473And as she is alone I wish you''d stay round, will you? 15473 And even if she were, under the circumstances----""What circumstances?"
15473And let you freeze?
15473And queer yourself at the start?
15473And say, if I were you----"Yes?
15473And where ha''ye been skulking since yesterday?
15473And-- will you send the night watchman here?
15473Are n''t you afraid to leave him?
15473Are we chased?
15473Are you going to be married, Jerry?
15473Are you going to stand for it?
15473Are you happy?
15473At,suggested Billy Grant,"say-- five dollars a nip?"
15473Boy or girl?
15473But if they put some one on in my place?
15473But surely there must be something else about-- potatoes or things like that?
15473But who in the world would take it?
15473But-- is she a daughter of the church?
15473But-- suppose the Staff thinks that he should be?
15473Ca n''t you give a body time?
15473Can you beat it?
15473Can you ever forgive me?
15473Could I get in?
15473Could n''t I go to the village?
15473Could you tell me which window he''s near, Miss Nellie?
15473Did I lose anything besides this?
15473Did ye or did ye no?
15473Did you see them call that baby away on visiting day for fear she would touch it?
15473Did-- did you-- are you ringing?
15473Do n''t I?
15473Do n''t you know that now you are in charge you ought to keep moving?
15473Do n''t you see?
15473Do you hate me very much?
15473Do you know anything about cooking?
15473Do you mean to say,said the red- haired person wonderingly,"that you went by yourself across the fields and telephoned to get me out of this mess?"
15473Do you think you could bring him to see her?
15473Do you think,said a mild voice--"do you think you could find me some bread and butter?
15473Do you want to see it?
15473Do you-- still-- like me a little?
15473Doctor Willie,she said,"wo n''t you have him operated on?"
15473Does-- does he look like his father?
15473Doing anything?
15473Elizabeth,said the Nurse,"wo n''t you sit by Claribel and fan her?"
15473Feeling all right?
15473Filled?
15473Forgive you? 15473 Four?"
15473Friends? 15473 Funny little mutt, is n''t he?"
15473Getting any sleep?
15473Gone?
15473Good.--And-- did you get my note?
15473Have I made you cry again?
15473Have n''t been sick, have you?
15473Have you any pain anywhere?
15473Have you sent over the soiled clothes?
15473Have you taken her temperature?
15473Have-- have you a baby here?
15473He is not to have it?
15473Her pulse is strong?
15473Hot to- day, is n''t it?
15473How about you?
15473How are you now, dearie?
15473How are you? 15473 How are you?"
15473How are you?... 15473 How d''you like me as a parlour entertainer, Nellie?"
15473How did it go?
15473How did they take it?
15473How did ye get here?
15473How did you-- how did you know I was here?
15473How is he?
15473How is that any worse-- any more unconventional-- than your bringing me your extra blanket on a cold night? 15473 How long have I?
15473How old do you suppose he is?
15473How old? 15473 How''s Polly this morning, Montmorency?"
15473How''s the Avenue?
15473How''s the-- how''s the kid?
15473How?
15473I am to go on?
15473I do n''t exactly know-- you have only one bad case, have n''t you?
15473I do n''t suppose, by any chance, you came to see how I am getting along?
15473I fixed the bell, did n''t I?
15473I suppose that''s the conventional thing; and if it makes you feel any better---- Will you think over what I''ve been saying?
15473I suppose you''ll be going out at once?
15473I thought I heard-- are you worse?
15473I wonder,said Twenty- two, in a curious tone,"if you will give me my cane?"
15473I''m not to come back, I suppose?
15473If I bleach it will you let me send for your people?
15473If I do,she said rather breathlessly,"will you go to sleep?
15473If you wo n''t try to sleep, shall I read to you?
15473Is everybody well at home?
15473Is he going to live?
15473Is it safe to feed him so much?
15473Is it so absurd-- under the circumstances?
15473Is my face dirty?
15473Is n''t he-- don''t you think that-- I might be allowed to-- to help Jim? 15473 Is n''t it a glorious evening?"
15473Is n''t it bad enough that you are beautiful without your also being brave?
15473Is n''t that the best thing you could wish me?
15473Is there any reason why we should not breakfast together?
15473Is there any reason, young man, why I should n''t order you to the lockup for the balance of this voyage?
15473Is your husband with you?
15473It was n''t your friend in Toronto, was it?
15473It would help to amuse them, of course, but how can you publish a newspaper without any news?
15473It''s pep they want, is it?
15473It''s-- what?
15473It-- it is n''t being a neurasthenic to be nervous and upset and hating the very sight of people, is it?
15473Jenks,said Billy Grant with an eye on the figure at the gate,"is that bottle of yours empty?"
15473Jerry?
15473Jim?
15473Know him?
15473Me? 15473 Meals come over promptly?"
15473My God, what am I going to do with her?
15473My dear,said the first speaker,"who_ does_ take things in a hospital, anyhow?
15473Nervous, are n''t you?
15473None of that, do you hear? 15473 Now?"
15473Oh, what''s the use?
15473One of the nurses here says----Jerry, wo n''t you look at me?
15473Operated on? 15473 Parrot?"
15473Read what?
15473Say, what do you think I am-- a missionary?
15473Shall I let old Sheets come back?
15473Shall I put one here?
15473Shall I read again?
15473Shall we breakfast?
15473Shall we,he inquired gravely,"think you-- shall we pay extra to the company for this excursion?"
15473She''s dead, is she?
15473She''s in bad shape, is she?
15473Speaking of dinner,he said hastily,"is n''t it time for some buttermilk?"
15473Sweeney-- with an e?
15473Tell me now, lad,he said quietly,"did ye or did ye no ha''the toothache?"
15473That''s what you said, I think-- never to leave the emergency bed with anything on it?
15473The old goat''s been pretty good to me, has n''t he?
15473The redhaired little boy, mother-- do you think he is safe?
15473The-- the engineers do not go in there, do they?
15473Then she-- isn''t married?
15473Then that was the----"Furnace man? 15473 Then there is somebody else?"
15473Then what is it?
15473Then what''s the matter with you and me and the little mutt getting married and starting all over-- eh?
15473Then why did n''t you leave it on?
15473Then why do n''t you stay where you were?
15473Then would you mind not staring so? 15473 Then you can not go to the telephone?"
15473Then, why does n''t the Staff do it?
15473Then-- why? 15473 They''re all well, are they?"
15473Though nothing ever happens back here-- does it?'' 15473 Three?"
15473Twenty enough?
15473Two or three times,he said,"when things were very bad with me, you let me hold your hand, and we got past somehow-- didn''t we?"
15473Was any one ever in such an infernal mess? 15473 Was it a boy-- or a girl?"
15473Water?
15473We ca n''t let Johnny die, either, can we?
15473Well, how are you, kid?
15473Well, how does it go, Nellie?
15473Well, relatives then-- some of your own people?
15473Well,he said curtly,"what have you four young imps been up to now?"
15473Well,said the Red Un, wiggling his legs nervously,"you''d have to feed me, would n''t you?
15473Well?
15473Wha''ish it?
15473Whaffor?
15473What I sent for you for is this,said Twenty- two,"are you going away?
15473What about that?
15473What are you goin''to do with it?
15473What are you going to do about it?
15473What are you so stingy about the door for?
15473What bottle?
15473What day is it?
15473What did I tell you?
15473What did he say?
15473What do you intend to do with it now?
15473What do you mean by sitting down?
15473What do you mean, Elizabeth?
15473What do you think of that for noise?
15473What does it matter, sister?
15473What else can I do?
15473What else was I to do?
15473What have you done-- put a book on it?
15473What if we strike a mine?
15473What is wrong with me?
15473What on earth''s happened? 15473 What the devil has come over you?"
15473What the devil made you publish it?
15473What''s the use? 15473 What''s this?"
15473What-- about it?
15473Where are the crackers?
15473Where are you?
15473Where have you been?
15473Where is everybody?
15473Where is the doctor?
15473Where is the young rascal?
15473Where''d you and your Old Man be but for us? 15473 Where''s Edith?"
15473Where''s that wrapper thing you''ve been wearing at night?
15473Who is she?
15473Who told you this was my cabin?
15473Who turned the deckhose into the Purser''s cabin night before last?
15473Who''s the soldier boy?
15473Why ca n''t I be put in a wheeled chair and get about? 15473 Why did n''t you let me know?"
15473Why did you coax so? 15473 Why do n''t you ask Lethway to take you on in the chorus?
15473Why do n''t you give me something to do, since you''re so crazy to have me hanging about?
15473Why do n''t you let me cut it off properly?
15473Why do n''t you lie down on the cot and take a nap? 15473 Why do n''t you look at me?"
15473Why do n''t you look where you''re going?
15473Why do n''t you look yourself?
15473Why do n''t you put on something comfortable?
15473Why not now?
15473Why should I hate you?
15473Why should a girl with as pretty hair as yours cover it up with a net, anyhow?
15473Why-- why can not she go back to it, even now?
15473Why? 15473 Why?"
15473Will you put your hand over mine? 15473 With-- with no trousers''?"
15473Without a cap? 15473 Wo n''t he run off?"
15473Wo n''t you tell me why you did it?
15473Working in the gymnasium?
15473Would n''t it be possible,he asked,"to bring your tray in here and to eat together?
15473Would you like another blanket?
15473Would you mind sitting beside me? 15473 Would you mind turning on the cold water?"
15473Wrong with him? 15473 Ye had seen the signs, of course?"
15473Yes?
15473You boys want to earn a sovereign?
15473You can put it somewhere, ca n''t you? 15473 You do n''t remember which one?"
15473You do n''t think that chap''s getting any better, do you?
15473You hear that, lads''?
15473You know you can always count on me, do n''t you?
15473You''ll have to be sterilised or formaldehyded?
15473You''re not-- married already-- are you?
15473You---- Is n''t there any hope, doctor?
15473A German submarine might sink the ship on which the other girl was coming, and then where would they be?
15473A man could stand so many years of the strain and then where was he?
15473After all, what could this country- store clerk know of the Avenue?
15473After all, what had she done?
15473After all, why not?
15473Again Rose:"Why should n''t they?
15473And at last she said:"How is that Probationer with the ridiculous name getting along?"
15473And if I know I am right----""How are you to know you are right?"
15473And since just now she liked him for what she thought he was, why not wait to tell her until she liked him for himself?
15473And then"Wha''d''ye want?"
15473And what happened?
15473And what is the use of going home and being asked questions that can not be answered?
15473And will you promise to hold your arms up over your head?"
15473Appendiceetis?"
15473Are you going home?"
15473Are you ready, sir?"
15473Brings the war pretty close, does n''t it?"
15473But how in Heaven''s name am I to let him know?"
15473But if you volunteered the information, and I saw fit to make you a present of, say, a pipe, with a box of tobacco----""What do you want to know for?"
15473But it''s no picnic, is it?"
15473But we''ve got to work it out, do you see?
15473But what are we going to say about these last two years?"
15473But what was it McAndrew said?
15473But what''d your steel tank do, with the engines goin'', if she was n''t bein''navigated?
15473But you''ll go back and stay in your room, wo n''t you?"
15473CONTENTS I TWENTY- TWO II JANE III IN THE PAVILION IV GOD''S FOOL V THE MIRACLE VI"ARE WE DOWNHEARTED?
15473Ca n''t you get back to your room without matches?"
15473Ca n''t you get some friends to come in?
15473Claribel?
15473Come, Chief-- shall they walk the plank?"
15473Could n''t we get''em raw and boil them over here?"
15473Did n''t you throw me over when you found I was going to have it?
15473Did you ever see such clothes?"
15473Did you ever smell bread as it comes from an out- oven?"
15473Did you go through hell for twenty- four hours to bring it into the world?
15473Do n''t you think so?"
15473Do n''t you think so?"
15473Do you hate me?"
15473Do you know what we do with liars on this ship?
15473Do you say the word?"
15473Do you want the child to have a dilated stomach?"
15473For not dying?"
15473Great Scott, man, when do I get some dinner?"
15473Ha''ye, by chance, seen a crow hangin''head down in the field, a warnin''to other mischief- makers?"
15473Had she not said that he knew many things that were hidden, though God knows how he knew them?
15473Has Doctor Harvard come in yet?"
15473Have you any idea who the child''s father is?"
15473Have you got any essence of pepsin?"
15473Her fare and expenses across were paid, but how about getting back?
15473How about you?"
15473How can I ever thank you?
15473How can we make these young scamps lessons in discipline to the crew?"
15473How is he?"
15473How''s that yellow- haired she- devil you''ve got over there?
15473However, what was one more rule to her who had defied them all?
15473I daresay I may have a box of matches at least?"
15473I hope you do n''t mind my saying it?"
15473If she was dead what did it matter?
15473If the girl was scarred----"Just what do you want me to do?"
15473If you go flat----""Then what?"
15473Is my cap crooked?"
15473Is there any place near where I can get some soda water?"
15473It would be nice for working in the dairy, would n''t it?"
15473It''s a shame to spoil two houses with us, is n''t it?"
15473It''s fierce, is n''t it?"
15473Jane?"
15473Life?
15473Look here,"he said, rather more slowly,"do you mind coming in and closing the door?
15473May I come in?
15473Must this girl of the streets and her wretched associates follow him everywhere?
15473My right hand has been itching-- or is that a sign of money?"
15473Now and then some one would shout:"Are we downhearted?"
15473Now that about a girl named Mabel, for instance----"He stirred again, because, after all, what did it matter what he had said?
15473Now will you be a good child?"
15473Or a glass of milk?"
15473Or are you tired?
15473Out of his head, quite certainly; but who dreams of greatness for himself alone?
15473P.S.--Can you come up on the roof for a little air?
15473Perhaps it was the dying of her temper, perhaps----"Am I still beautiful with this nose?"
15473Pretty well chewed up, are n''t you?"
15473Pretty?
15473Recall it?
15473Shall I keep the paper for you?"
15473She-- she----""How much do you want?"
15473Suppose she married the fellow that got her into trouble?
15473The game?
15473The parrot belonged to the Girl; but how did he know it?
15473The purple''s all right for it, is n''t it?"
15473The question is-- what are we to do next?"
15473The ten minutes or so were over and what would they find?
15473The wind''s gone down, has n''t it?"
15473Their voices rang out in cheerful unison:"Are we downhearted?
15473This, much as if he had said,"Did you find my scarf- pin?"
15473To have them read in my face what I''ve been, and go back home to die of shame?"
15473Until morning?"
15473Wanted, four square inches of cuticle for skin grafting in W. How''s that?
15473Was she going to have the unbelievable cruelty to tell him about it?
15473What about that?"
15473What do they send you to eat?"
15473What do you say, Chief?
15473What do you think of this?"
15473What for?"
15473What time is it?"
15473What would she do then?
15473What''ll I have?
15473What''s a ship without insides?"
15473What''s my little stunt?
15473When did you sleep?"
15473When do you want me?"
15473Where were ye?"
15473Where would I get friends of that sort?"
15473Where''s the-- the visible sign?"
15473Which one of you put the fish in Mrs. Schmidt''s bed?"
15473Who can know why he chose her?
15473Why?
15473Why?"
15473Would n''t he be always throwing it up to her?"
15473Would she go and get it?
15473Would-- would you mind feeling if my nose is broken?"
15473Yes; what about her?...
15473You said it was because of a little property you had, but-- that was n''t it-- was it?"
15473You''re not going to move-- are you?"
15473You''ve got to live, have n''t you?
15473demanded the Staff Doctor sternly and, putting his arm round her:"Do n''t you know that Junior Nurses are not supposed to weep over the Staff?"
15927''Girl''?
15927''Temperamental''? 15927 ''_ Wild_''flight?
15927A''mistake''?
15927About the woman?
15927About_ me_?
15927Ai n''t he the limit?
15927Am I as low as this?
15927And I''ll never ask you for a cent, if you can just make it convenient to help me in February?
15927And I''m just to look on?
15927And be docked? 15927 And you do n''t enjoy talking to Lily?"
15927And, perhaps,she said, with a gasp,"you are in love with her?"
15927Anything I can do for you, Eleanor?
15927Anything out of kilter? 15927 Are n''t they somewhat faded flowers?"
15927Are they engaged?
15927Are they playing a gum game on me?
15927Are you game for it, Eleanor?
15927Are you sure,she said,"that you know what the right thing is?
15927Are you?
15927Aw, how do you know?
15927Brains? 15927 But I supposed,"he said, and paused,"I sort of thought you-- had reasons for staying round here?"
15927But do you like to be with a_ child_?
15927But he_ has n''t_ done anything wrong,she insisted;"he would n''t look at a horrid?
15927But how could I do anything else-- if I loved Maurice?
15927But who cares?
15927But who will you ask?
15927But why ca n''t she live at the school?
15927But wo n''t Eleanor''s dullness afflict Buster?
15927But you said you had''guessed''?
15927But, Maurice, why did n''t you wake me?
15927But, Maurice,she insisted,"_ why_ do you say she is n''t a lady?...
15927But, my dear,his wife said,"has it occurred to you that it may be as unpleasant for the Bride to come, as for you to have her?
15927But,Eleanor said, excitedly,"if I were dead, it would be his duty to marry her, would n''t it?
15927Ca n''t I do something for your head?
15927Ca n''t a man get a minute to himself?
15927Ca n''t tell me, I suppose?
15927Ca n''t you come?
15927Ca n''t you stop that woman? 15927 Call me?
15927Can she go with him?
15927Can you cook?
15927Can you deny that you care for my husband?
15927Children,said Mrs. Newbolt,"why do n''t you make taffy this evening?"
15927Cold?
15927Coming to see me wallop Johnny?
15927Dale? 15927 Dear Goose, may a simple man ask how it is to be avoided?"
15927Did I do everything right?
15927Did any woman ever tell you so?
15927Did he?
15927Did she?... 15927 Did you ever see such idiots?
15927Did you find her?
15927Did you get your bicycle mended?
15927Did you hear it?
15927Did you sell the house this afternoon?
15927Did you tell him?
15927Did_ I_ drive her to it?
15927Do ladies put paint on their cheeks?
15927Do n''t you suppose I want to? 15927 Do n''t you think I''m right, Maurice?"
15927Do n''t you?
15927Do you mind if I ask you just one question, Edith?
15927Do you mind?
15927Do you_ remember_?
15927Do? 15927 Does Edith know?"
15927Does He see_ everything_?
15927Drinking? 15927 Edith says you and she had a good deal of sentiment about the river, and--""At six o''clock, on a March evening?"
15927Edith started the mess; why did she say that about Mr. Houghton and Eleanor?
15927Edith, I really think I have a right to know?
15927Edith,Mrs. Houghton said,"you wo n''t mind letting Maurice and Eleanor have your room, will you, dear?"
15927Eleanor has no suspicions?
15927Eleanor''s sort of forlorn, Maurice?
15927Eleanor, what happened?
15927Eleanor,she said,"I''ve been awfully unhappy, for fear anything I said-- that morning-- troubled you?
15927Every minute I think--''Suppose Eleanor should find out?''
15927Get our skiff, will you?
15927Grateful? 15927 Handsome, ai n''t it?"
15927Happinesswas n''t the name of that fire in his breast, Happiness?
15927Has Edith--?
15927Has n''t He got any mouth?
15927Has she got on to that again?
15927Has that just struck you?
15927Has that pup hurt you?
15927Hate it?
15927Have another piece? 15927 Have you really got to be horrid?"
15927He does n''t look... like_ her_?
15927He was just a boy,she said; her eyes were blurring so that the street was a gray fog;"how_ could_ Eleanor?"
15927He''ll have to go to work,she said;"which means not going back to college, I suppose?"
15927He''s gone on the rocks( druggist Smith, or fish Smith?)
15927Head better, Nelly?
15927Headache? 15927 Henry!--she''s respectable, is n''t she?
15927His_ wife_?
15927How about that girl you spoke to on the street yesterday? 15927 How can he be interested about football,_ now_, when we''re alone?"
15927How could you''fall''? 15927 How have you stood it?"
15927How long has Mr. Curtis thought enough of Jacky to pay six hundred dollars for him? 15927 How many have you got?
15927How much do you love me?
15927How much older?
15927How would you like to go to New York?
15927How''s Eleanor?
15927How''s your head?
15927How_ can_ I bring it in?
15927How_ did_ you miss them?
15927How_ much_? 15927 Huh?"
15927Huh?
15927I bet she does n''t know her Dickens; it wo n''t convey anything to her,he begged;"I''ll cut out two cigars a day if you''ll let me do it?"
15927I ca n''t be happy, Edith,Maurice told her;"do n''t you see?"
15927I hate to urge anything you do n''t like, Nelly; but I really do feel we ought to accept their invitation? 15927 I know you do n''t,"she said, wistfully...."Why ca n''t he be satisfied to stay at home with me?"
15927I know you_ know_?
15927I might invite Mrs. Davis to come up to our room some evening-- and I would sing for her? 15927 I must_ do_ something-- do something--"But what?
15927I sang''Kiss thy perfumed garments''; remember?
15927I suppose I''ve got to?
15927I suppose she knows? 15927 I suppose she ragged it out of you?"
15927I suppose some day you''ll die? 15927 I suppose that does n''t sound very high toned-- to offer a gentleman a key?
15927I suppose you do n''t know any men here? 15927 I think you''d like it in New York?"
15927I thought it was n''t all headache; what''s the matter, boy?
15927I trust I''m not injuring your immortal soul, Maurice, and making you vain of your muscle?
15927I wanted to do something that they would like, and I thought they might like a hymn? 15927 I wonder if there''s any funny business there?"
15927I''m going in wading after dinner,Edith announced;"what do you say, boys?
15927If I did n''t love him, I could,she thought.... Maurice came hurrying into the parlor, with the anxious,"How is she?"
15927If I guessed, you would n''t betray anything?
15927If I love you like this after fifty- four minutes of married life, how do you suppose I shall feel after fifty- four years of it?
15927If she had a right to be mad at me yesterday-- why is n''t she mad to- day?
15927If you are going to talk''offers,''said Edith,"do you want me to clear out?"
15927If-- if-- if--the wheels hammered out;"_ if_ anything happens to Eleanor--"?
15927Invitation? 15927 Is Mr. F. your father?"
15927Is her name''Eleanor''? 15927 Is his name Jacky?"
15927Is it because there''s any other fellow, Edith? 15927 Is it done?"
15927Is she angry,he told himself;"or just ashamed of having been so foolish?"
15927Is she nice?
15927Is that so?
15927Is your mother in?
15927It was years ago,he said, very low;"I haven''t-- had anything to do with her since; but--"She said, gasping,"Do you... love her still?"
15927It''s all done,Edith said;"does n''t it look pretty?
15927It''s what they call God, I suppose?
15927Jealous? 15927 Johnny,"Edith said,"why do you suppose Eleanor gives me so many call- downs?
15927Johnny? 15927 Johnny?
15927Just a little, Edith? 15927 Know what that is?"
15927Let''s sit down,Johnny said; then, beseechingly,"Edith, do n''t you feel a little differently about me, now?"
15927Like you? 15927 Lily, for Heaven''s sake,"Maurice implored,"does n''t he_ ever_ stop?"
15927Lion-- gone? 15927 Look here, Edith; you''ve got to be half decent to me-- unless, of course, you''ve soured on me?
15927Love? 15927 Matter?
15927Maurice, I''m awfully fond of Eleanor; you wo n''t think I''m finding fault, or anything? 15927 Maurice, ca n''t you get him?"
15927Maurice, you want something? 15927 Maurice,"she demanded,"did you see that lady on the float, getting into the boat with those two gentlemen?"
15927Maurice,she said,"are you happy?"
15927Maurice,she said,"how is Jacky?"
15927Maurice,... what does she call you?
15927Maurice-- horrid? 15927 May I give him some candy?"
15927Mr. Weston has telegraphed him, too, I hope?
15927Mrs. Newbolt,said Maurice, pausing in his tramping up and down the room;"why did Eleanor go out to Medfield?"
15927Nelly,he said,"let''s go down by the West Branch and meet Edith and Johnny?
15927Newbolt? 15927 Nice day, Kit?"
15927Nineteen?
15927No baby? 15927 No proof; but--""But you have made a fool of yourself?"
15927No... Jacky, do n''t you want to tell me your name?
15927Not good enough? 15927 Not''Maurice''?
15927Of course I do n''t want anything to happen to her; but--Then he wondered, with a sudden pang of hope, if anything had happened to--_It_?
15927Off? 15927 Oh, Star, wo n''t it be wonderful when we can go away from the whole caboodle of''em, and just be by ourselves?"
15927Oh, have I made you go to work?
15927Oh, is that your reason?
15927Oh, would n''t it be very uncomfortable? 15927 Oh, you mean Edith?
15927Oh,said Maurice;"_ that_ one?
15927Oh,she said, turning to the other two,"do n''t you want Maurice_ ever_ to be happy?"
15927Oh,she said,"do n''t you see?
15927Oh... you''re_ married_? 15927 On her cheeks?"
15927One of the family?
15927Perhaps I could do something for her? 15927 Perhaps I ought to tell her that I went to the river for Maurice''s sake?
15927Perhaps it was Mrs. Dale you went to see?
15927Pol''gize?
15927Pretty nice?
15927Promise me,said Eleanor,"you wo n''t tell him?"
15927Prove what? 15927 Reproach?
15927Rose Ellis? 15927 Say, Maurice,"Johnny began--"Ca n''t you children be quiet for five minutes?"
15927Say, Mr. Curtis, have you got teeth you can take out?
15927Say, Star, would you mind moving? 15927 See here, what are you talking about?"
15927Seen him lately?
15927Sell Jacky for six hundred dollars?
15927She did n''t tell you she''d been here? 15927 She does n''t know about books and things?
15927She has lots of fun in her,he reflected;"and she''s a bully cook; and her hair is mighty pretty.... Say, Lily, do n''t you want to trim my cuff?
15927She wants to see him, does she? 15927 Silly?
15927Skeezics, what''s the matter with you? 15927 Smith''s next, dear,"she said;"What is it, Henry?"
15927So, why ca n''t I touch her hair, now?
15927Star?
15927Stiff?
15927Suppose I make her promise not to tell Maurice anything? 15927 Suppose she were talkative?"
15927Tea?
15927That''s considerate in him,Eleanor said;"but I do n''t know what''unexpected expenses''we could have?"
15927The gentleman is a little younger than I am,she confessed, smiling; and Mrs. O''Brien said:"An''what difference does that make?
15927The river is a lovely accompaniment, is n''t it?
15927The river? 15927 The smaller I am-- the nastier, the meaner, the more contemptible-- the greater It would have to be to know me?
15927Then what took you to Medfield?
15927They''re soaked, are n''t they?
15927Uncle Henry,Maurice said,"if you were going to see a lawyer, who would you see?"
15927Want me to tie your shoestrings for you, Nelly?
15927Was he really the-- the first?
15927Was she a friend of yours?
15927We''ve never been''tactful''with each other, Mary?
15927Well, but--Maurice defended his wife--"it''s because she cares about me, do n''t you know?
15927Well, go open it, ca n''t you?
15927Well, what do you suppose?
15927Well,said Mrs. Newbolt, with what was, for her, astonishing brevity,"why should n''t he?
15927Well,she said,"suppose there is?"
15927Well?
15927What are they going to live on?
15927What can be done?
15927What did he mean by saying that? 15927 What do you drag him in for?"
15927What more can I do for you than I have done? 15927 What name?"
15927What possessed you to let on to her?
15927What shall I do?
15927What were you doing in Medfield?
15927What will_ he_ get off?
15927What''s he butting in for?
15927What''s the matter with your hands?
15927What''s this room to be?
15927What''s_ he_ got on his little chest?
15927What''way''? 15927 What,"he asked himself,"are Maurice and Mrs. Newbolt butting in for?"
15927What?
15927What_ has_ happened?
15927What_ is_ the matter with your hands?
15927What_ is_ the matter, Maurice?
15927Where are your manners? 15927 Where did you two meet each other?"
15927Where do you want to go?
15927Where''s the first man?
15927Where_ do_ you suppose he is?
15927Which is to say,''Hold your tongue''?
15927Who is it?
15927Who said that?
15927Who taught you?
15927Who was your lavender- colored letter from?
15927Why ca n''t she live out there? 15927 Why ca n''t you be satisfied just to go on the way we always have?
15927Why did n''t he say that at first?
15927Why do n''t you come to dinner next Saturday?
15927Why do n''t you have some plants around?
15927Why do n''t you learn?
15927Why do n''t you stay to dinner?
15927Why do n''t you teach her to do things? 15927 Why does n''t it get_ deep_?"
15927Why does she hate me? 15927 Why does she have to be with Eleanor and Maurice?"
15927Why not collect jewels for your crown?
15927Why not tell her yourself?
15927Why not?
15927Why not?
15927Why not?
15927Why should I like her? 15927 Why should n''t I tell him I love him so that I''d forgive--_anything_?
15927Why the devil did I offer to get a doctor? 15927 Why the devil do n''t you have two booths here?"
15927Why was I such a fool, Eleanor, as not to know that you were a big woman? 15927 Why wo n''t he?"
15927Why, Eleanor,he faltered;"why are you-- on your ear?
15927Why, Maurice, do n''t you suppose I know you, through and through? 15927 Why, do n''t you remember the time I saw her, with that blue- eyed baby?
15927Why, how do you know?
15927Why, that''s awful kind in you, Mr. Curtis; but ai n''t you afraid somebody''ll see you luggin''a child around?
15927Why,he demanded,"are women greater fools about this business than men?
15927Why,said Jacky,"will He get one in on me if I ai n''t?"
15927Why,she demanded, raucously,"did n''t you have a child of your own for him,''stead of trying to get another woman''s child away from her?"
15927Why_ does n''t_ he stop them?
15927Why_ me_? 15927 Will he pull through?"
15927Will you_ please_ not keep interrupting? 15927 Wo n''t you be seated?"
15927Wo n''t you be seated?
15927Wo n''t you be seated?
15927Wo n''t you come in and be seated?
15927Yes, Maurice?
15927Yes,he said, grimly;"who would support his lady- love while he was in college?
15927You a relation?
15927You do n''t mean stay all night?
15927You do n''t mind if I talk to Johnny?
15927You know, long before that time, perhaps it wo n''t be-- just us?
15927You look used up, Curtis; got a cold?
15927You mean an elopement? 15927 You mean because I said Maurice was handsome?
15927You mean with Eleanor? 15927 You mean you do n''t like me?"
15927You see what I mean, Mrs. Houghton, do n''t you? 15927 You see?"
15927You wo n''t mind, Auntie, will you?
15927You''do n''t know''?
15927You?
15927Your uncle Henry told me to''poke around,''and see if you were troubled about money?
15927_ Eleanor!_ Where is your hat?
15927_ Henry!_ At your time of life, are you deciding a woman''s''niceness''by her looks?
15927_ Here?_Eleanor said, despairingly.
15927_ Marry?_ I, marry Lily?
15927_ Marry?_ I, marry Lily?
15927_ Me?_ I''m just like a brother! 15927 _ Must_ we?"
15927_ Pull_ it?
15927_ Why_ does he want to be alone?
15927_ You?_ How long since? 15927 _ You?_ How long since?
15927''Fraid of getting walloped?
15927( The test Edith applied to conduct was always,"Is it sense?")
15927("Oh,_ was_ it my fault?"
15927("What grows trestles?"
15927("Why do n''t they have a square house?"
15927):''_ Though jealousy be produced by love, as ashes by fire, yet jealousy_''--oh, what does come next?
15927--whether she might be suspicious as to what that secret was, which she had advised him to"tell Eleanor"?
15927... Did he go to her house yesterday?"
15927... Is he lying to me when he says he has to go away on business, and is he really with her?
15927... No?
15927... What had brought the cloud?
15927... Why not go and see Lily_ now_?
15927... You miss John Bennett?"
15927... You_ walked_?
15927..."I wonder if anybody was ever as rotten as I am?"
15927A little thing like that-- just falling down in mathematics-- changed my whole life?"
15927After a while she said:"Maurice, ca n''t I see Jacky?
15927After all, what can a man say when his wife has made a fool of herself?
15927After all, what difference did it make what such people thought of elopements?
15927Ai n''t that rich?
15927All I want is just if you can help me in February?
15927Am I?
15927And Edith... would she suspect?
15927And Edith?
15927And Eleanor said,"_ At night?_ Oh, Maurice!"
15927And Eleanor?...
15927And Lily said:"Did you do it?
15927And again:"What_ will_ he say?"
15927And all day long, when she was alone( watching the grave), she would think:"Where is he_ now_?
15927And at the next door:"Mrs. Dale?
15927And father said,''If you tell him so often enough, he''ll agree with you,''There''s a good deal in that, Eleanor?"
15927And how much would he have to pay the lawyer?
15927And if the woman_ was_ Mrs. Dale?
15927And little Skeezics--""Who is Skeezics?"
15927And now she''s planning to be in Mercer for three months?
15927And she caught on that I lived here?
15927And some people thought this stupendous Energy could know--_us_?
15927And this thing of telling him not to say''ai n''t,''_ I_ say it, and what else would he say?
15927And was she--_silly_?
15927And what would happen in all these fifty golden years?
15927And what would she think of him, for having such asinine friends?
15927And what''water''?"
15927And when he was not fussing he would look at Eleanor and say to himself,"How can I tell her?"
15927And who can say that her prayer was not answered?
15927And why should she come?
15927And yellow cakes?"
15927And yet I suppose you are rather old?"
15927And you wo n''t throw me over, will you?
15927And-- I thought we were to sit here and sing?"
15927And-- was that lightning?"
15927Anything I can do?"
15927Are n''t you sorry, Maurice?"
15927Are you mad at anything?
15927As Mrs. Houghton declined to"tell''em,"Eleanor, reading the friendly words, was able to say,"I do n''t think he''s angry?"
15927As for Edith, she used to wonder, sometimes, why Eleanor was so"up stage"?
15927As for her gift to him of Jacky, she would just tell him she wanted him to marry Lily, so he could have his child.... And Edith?
15927As soon as he and Eleanor were alone, he said,"When does Edith graduate?"
15927At what?
15927At which Edith began, eagerly,"Father says--"("What the deuce will she say now?"
15927But Edith?
15927But I do n''t know what I''d do with my husband then?"
15927But I do n''t think anybody''s cutting you out?
15927But I mean, I do n''t see why it is n''t enough for you to have me awfully fond of you?"
15927But Jacky whispered back, anxiously,"But I said it to the other one?"
15927But Maurice?...
15927But afterward, when the guests had gone, she said to Maurice,"Why did n''t you tell me about your adventure with the Mortons?"
15927But do you mean to say that you do n''t think he owes the child a decent father?"
15927But how could she get him?
15927But how should she get Jacky?
15927But if she thinks of herself--"Mary Houghton sighed; her husband ended her sentence for her:"She''ll upset the whole kettle of fish?"
15927But maybe he''ll say,''Why did you go out to Medfield so late?''
15927But she could not talk of anything else; she could only speak her swift, honest thought:"Eleanor, why do you dislike me?
15927But she knew the soul of him, you see?
15927But she said, her eyes fixed on Edith,"What_ are_ they talking about?"
15927But she was uneasy:"Maurice, I''ll play tennis with you?"
15927But suppose the orderly had heard me?"
15927But that,"Well, I do n''t know--"woke a keenly attentive fear:_ was_ there anybody else?
15927But there''s to be no_ father_ business about it, you understand?
15927But we are boarding.... Have n''t you some friend you could go to for to- night?
15927But what harm did it do her?"
15927But what was all this business?
15927But what_ is_ going to become of him?"
15927But when her father threw the reins down on Lion''s back, and said, briefly,"Ca n''t you unharness him yourself, Buster?"
15927But when she began on the''harp''--""Harp?"
15927But when she urged--"Well, what_ were_ you talking about?"
15927But why is she down on Edith?
15927But why is she mad at me?
15927But why were n''t we invited to the wedding?
15927But yet the question repeated itself:"Why?
15927But, anyhow, Edith and I were quite capable of looking out for ourselves; were n''t we, Edith?"
15927But, why--?"
15927Ca n''t you take two weeks?"
15927Can you help me a little?
15927Could Maurice endure Lily?
15927Could Maurice stand that?
15927Could he endure Lily?
15927Could she do any work?
15927Could she eat some fresh doughnuts?
15927Could she get him into it?
15927Curtis?_"and a dash up the back steps and into the dining room-- then, silent, grimy adoration!
15927Dale?"
15927Dale?"
15927Dale?"...
15927Dark eyes?
15927Darling,"she called again;"do you suppose she''s got married?"
15927Dear, what_ is_ the trouble about Maurice?"
15927Did he fall in love with that frightful woman because I failed him?"
15927Did n''t you enjoy it?"
15927Did she want to see the child?
15927Did she wear a veil?
15927Did she-- do it on purpose?
15927Did you ever hear of anything so absurd?"
15927Did you hear her say,''Maurice is so ridiculously young, he does n''t remember''--?
15927Did you hear her, at dinner, talk about jealousy?"
15927Did you hear the fat one jaw at the girl?"
15927Did you twig her hair?"
15927Did_ you_ think he looked sick, too?
15927Do n''t we_ know_ that we are in heaven?"
15927Do n''t you agree with me?"
15927Do n''t you know your friends?
15927Do n''t you see that?
15927Do tell me what''s the matter?
15927Do you get on to that?"
15927Do you get on to that?"
15927Do you hear me?
15927Do you know, Maurice?"
15927Do you mean to tell me you do n''t see how awfully funny it was?
15927Do you mind-- very much?"
15927Do you realize what that means?
15927Do you really want to?"
15927Do you remember the time that boat upset, and that girl-- all painted, you know-- flopped around in the water?"
15927Do you remember when Maurice and I planted them?"
15927Do you remember, on our wedding day, you made me promise to be jealous?
15927Do you remember?
15927Do you see that glimmer over there to the left?
15927Do you think I ought to-- to tell--?"
15927Do you think you can love a stupid person for fifty years?"
15927Do you think you do, Maurice?
15927Do you understand?
15927Does Eleanor know?"
15927Does she call him''Maurice''?
15927Early in the afternoon the need to make up to him for what she had done grew intolerable:"Darling, let''s play solitaire?"
15927Edith demanded;"a year?"
15927Edith looked puzzled:"You mean she is n''t a lady, Maurice?"
15927Edith only said again,"Really?"
15927Edith said, gayly;"is n''t it a wonderful day?
15927Edith said, nervously;"do n''t you think we''d better go home?"
15927Edith said, rigidly,"Really?"
15927Edith said,"By yourselves?
15927Edith was willing enough to be quiet;"But,"she added, practically,"would you mind giving me the fifty cents now, Maurice?
15927Edith''s heart pounded with terror:"Was it what I said to her in the garden that made her do it?"
15927Edith''s lips fell apart;"Maurice?
15927Edith, watching the retreating figure, never guessing those unshed tears, said, despairingly, to herself,"I suppose I ought to go home with her?"
15927Edith, why do you suppose she-- did it?"
15927Eleanor merely ached with dislike of Edith; but, even so, she had the small relief of not having to say to herself:"Is he seeing Mrs. Dale, now?
15927Eleanor said"He''ll probably say it was wicked to elope?"
15927Eleanor''s heart was beating so smotheringly that when her first ring was answered she could scarcely speak:"Does Mrs. Dale live here?"
15927Eleanor, daring to interfere between himself and Edith?
15927Eleanor, her chin trembling, said:"May I kiss him?"
15927Eleanor, laughing, threw up despairing hands;"Edith, do n''t you know_ anything_?"
15927Eleanor, looking and listening, would say to herself,"Is he thinking of Mrs. Dale,_ now_?"
15927Eleanor, what_ have_ I done?"
15927Eleanor, when the doctor was introduced, said, a little surprised,"You know my husband?"
15927Eleanor, you did n''t think I''d tell Edith a thing like_ that_?
15927Eleanor,_ promise_ me you''ll be jealous?"
15927Even while arranging for his dinner party, and plunging into the expense of a private dining room, he was thinking, of his guardian;"Will he kick?"
15927For she is pathetic, Kit?"
15927For_ me_?"
15927Fuller?
15927Get a divorce for him?"
15927Going abroad?
15927Griselda was on the nest when I started up the mountain, but I thought there was another egg there?"
15927Has Maurice been drinking?"
15927Has Mrs. O''Brien brought my things home?"''
15927Have I?
15927Have you a cook?
15927Have you a cook?"
15927Have you a stomachache?
15927He could never ask anybody-- except, perhaps, Mr. Houghton; and what would he, an old man, know about bringing up a little boy?
15927He died three years ago; no, I guess it was two--""Huh?"
15927He has to support-- somebody?"
15927He looked blank, and said,"What was''impertinent''in that?
15927He put out his hand and said,"Oh, how are you?"
15927He remembered that Eleanor herself had said so,"Perhaps I could do something for her?"
15927He sat down and looked off across the valley..."What am I going to do?"
15927He thought of the bulbs on the window sill of Lily''s parlor, and tried to remember a verse; something about-- about-- what was it?
15927He touched the button under the name"Dale,"and called up, huskily,"Is Miss-- Mrs. Dale in?"
15927He was going to''settle down,''and''have a home,''--you know the talk?
15927He went into his room on tiptoe, but Eleanor heard him and said, sleepily,"What on earth have you been talking about?"
15927He wondered if he was looking at things the way the dead look at the living?
15927He wondered whether Lily had died?
15927He wondered why Edith would n''t take him?
15927He--""Has He got a beak?"
15927Heard Maurice:"Headache, Nelly?
15927Her husband may have been"innocent,"but he did his part by shoving a cigar box toward the"boy,"and saying,"How''s business?
15927Her plan was to ring the bell at every one of the gingerbread houses on that block on Maple Street, and ask if Mrs. Dale lived there?
15927Her rosy face was beaming with artistic satisfaction;"Ai n''t this paper lovely?"
15927Her words poured out sobbingly:"Why,_ why_ am I not enough for you?
15927His indifference-- for he only looked at her, with his mild, nearsighted brown eyes, and said,"Huh?"
15927His start was so perceptible that she said,"You do n''t mind my asking?"
15927Houghton?
15927Houghton?"
15927Houghton?"
15927Houghton?"
15927How about Saturday night?"
15927How are you?
15927How can I keep her from coming?
15927How can you like to be with a child?"
15927How could he care for that common, ignorant woman I saw on the porch?
15927How could he enjoy talking to them when he could talk to her?
15927How could he have been so wrought up about it?
15927How could she die?
15927How did you get here?
15927How long would the Bride live?
15927How much does she want?"
15927How much would he have to give her?
15927How old is he?"
15927How serious is it?
15927How should I know where she lives?"
15927How''s your cold?
15927How,"he pondered, interested in the mechanics of it,"did she ever get me into that wagon?"
15927How?
15927How_ can_ I get rid of her?"
15927How_ could_ he?"
15927I am certain that you do n''t love me...."And he would say-- Then her heart would stand still: What_ would_ he say?
15927I believe you''re unhappy?"
15927I could n''t go and see her, if I was dying to--''cause I do n''t know where she lives-- unless it was that house she was going into?
15927I do love Edith.... How did she get on to it?
15927I do n''t want Eleanor bothered, you understand?"
15927I knock up against people at the office, and I know several fellows and girls outside--""What girls?"
15927I mean, besides your headache?"
15927I might tell Maurice that?
15927I said-- I could hardly make myself heard in the racket-- I yelled,''Do n''t you think you''d better go back to your own room?
15927I suppose she thought he''d be happier with her?
15927I suppose the girl''s a mere child?"
15927I think so; did n''t Edith call her that?
15927I thought perhaps you''d let him go home with me to- night?
15927I understand her now,"Then, once more, he thought, frowning,"But why is she so down on Edith?"
15927I wonder how Bingo is?
15927I wonder how many''minutes''we have had now?
15927I wonder how she''ll get along with Mary?
15927I wonder if he''ll pull through?"
15927I wonder if he''s the Mortons''friend?...
15927I wonder if it began that night Jacky was sick... and she kissed me?
15927I wonder if you could sing, just once, after dinner?
15927I wonder what present his aunt will give her?
15927I wonder what''F''stands for-- Frost?
15927I wonder what''s up?"
15927I''ll never forget the first time I heard you sing that; snowing like blazes it was,--do you remember?
15927I''m perfectly straight with you; you know that?
15927I''ve botched my own life, Edith;--of course you know that?
15927If it was n''t for me, she''d be in love with you-- perhaps she is, anyhow?
15927If she did, there would be no hope of getting Jacky... and Edith would be in Mercer...."Mrs. Dale,_ promise_ me you''ll stay in Medfield?
15927If she was found, why, then-- well, then Eleanor would say that she had heard that the house was in the market?
15927In Medfield?
15927In her room in the ell, Edith shut the door, and, standing with her back against it, tried to answer her own question:"Why was Eleanor mad?"
15927In his own mind he was saying,"Lily, and_ Love_?
15927In spite of her pity, Lily''s yellow eyes gleamed:"''See''my own child?
15927In that boat?"
15927In the dining room, eating a very large supper, she listened for the wheels of the wagon and reflected:"Why was Eleanor mad at_ me_?
15927Is he with her?
15927Is n''t it queer that I should meet her, after all these years?"
15927Is n''t it supreme?"
15927Is n''t it wonderful?
15927Is n''t that so, Nelly?"
15927Is she-- delirious?
15927Is that her name?"
15927Is that you?
15927Is your mother at home?"
15927It ai n''t the wash, is it?"
15927It could n''t be that Maurice-- was not good?
15927It was at this point that one day something made her add,"_ Suppose he had Lily, too?_"Then he could have Jacky.
15927It was sacrilege.... Aloud, she said she could be ready by the first of the week;"And you''ll stay with me?
15927It was the happy commonplace of companionship: Mrs. Newbolt and her departure for Europe; would Mrs. O''Brien be good to Bingo?
15927It was then that the"lady"spoke to him-- her voice broke twice:"Well, little boy, did you like the circus?"
15927It''s a boarding school, is n''t it?"
15927Jacky said); and beneath the lounge-- which was a tunnel, the bigger boy announced("What is a tunnel?"
15927Jacky, who_ is_ it?"
15927John came, with leaps and bounds, so to speak, and Maurice said, grumpily:"What do you lug Johnny in for?"
15927Johnny said,"Mrs. Newbolt, where can I get some whisky?"
15927Johnny said: he had taken off his red sweater and tied its sleeves around his neck;"zero?
15927Johnny?
15927Just a young man''s love for a young woman-- sound and natural, and beautiful, and right...."I wonder,"Maurice thought,"does she know it?"
15927Kit, what do you make of her?"
15927Let him carry you?"
15927Lily could n''t do a thing with him; what did he mean about the''present''?
15927Lily said;"oh, ai n''t he the beast?"
15927Lily thought;"Are they going to try and kidnap him?"
15927Lily, what I was going to say was, I do n''t believe that Ash Street place is what you want?"
15927Lily--""Oh, what do I care about_ you_?
15927Looked like one of Rossetti''s women?"
15927Mary Houghton, listening, said to herself,"_ Now_ what will Henry Houghton say about the''explosion''?
15927Mary, do you mind if I smoke?"
15927Mary, may n''t I have a cigar?
15927Mary, maybe, her music will hold him?"
15927Mary, one of these days, when she grows up, perhaps she and Maurice--?"
15927Maurice began to say, sharply,"_ No!_"then he stopped; after all, why not?
15927Maurice came back to the wagon;"Edith,"he said, in a low voice,"would you and Johnny mind getting out and walking?
15927Maurice gave an anxious look at Eleanor:"It might do your head good, Nelly?"
15927Maurice looked down at Mrs. Houghton, and laughed, grimly:"You might as well tell me?"
15927Maurice said, despairingly;"has she got to be around for two years?"
15927Maurice said,"You_ know_?"
15927Maurice said;"do you want to stay here all night?"
15927Maurice''s bewilderment was full of stumbling questions:"Told Edith?
15927Maurice''s eyes narrowed:"I believe you need''em, Nelly?
15927Maurice, astonished, made some half- hearted protest; he would go back with her?
15927Maurice, ca n''t I see him?"
15927Maurice, did you give her... five cents?
15927Maurice, do you remember you said we''d come back here for our golden wedding?"
15927Maurice, looking after suitcases and hand bags, said, absently,"Remember what?"
15927Maurice, shoving the trailing skiff on to its owners, said:"Can I do anything to help you?"
15927Maurice, trained in these years of furtiveness to self- control, said,"Does she live on Maple Street, Edith?"
15927Maurice, what will Mr. Houghton say?"
15927Maurice,_ did_ she bring her harp?
15927Maybe Eleanor could give her a hand up?"
15927Maybe she''s forgotten, too?"
15927Mother, how_ could_ Maurice have fallen in love with Eleanor?"
15927Mother, may I have two helpings?
15927Mr. Curtis, does God eat stars?"
15927Mr. Maurice eloped?
15927Mrs. Curtis asking for Jacky-- and Mr. Curtis not knowing it?
15927Mrs. Curtis, now look,"--she spoke soothingly, as if to a child, with her arm around Eleanor--"you know I_ ca n''t_ let my little boy go?
15927Mrs. Dale will you step in here?
15927Nelly, what_ was_ the matter with the dinner?"
15927Not Johnny and me, too?"
15927Now, when do you think you can start?"
15927Occasionally he remembered to say,"Why do n''t you come along, Eleanor?"
15927Of course they did not appreciate the value of this blessed young poverty-- who of us ever appreciates poverty while we are experiencing it?
15927Of_ me_?"
15927Oh, Eleanor, how can you say you love him, and yet plan such terrible unhappiness for him?"
15927Oh, Eleanor, suppose I had n''t got you?
15927Oh, I think I will follow him,--and_ watch_.... Was he with her last night when he said he had gone to the theater?
15927Oh, Maurice, do you suppose she''s got my letter by this time?
15927Oh, Maurice-- Maurice, no woman could love you more than I do?...
15927Oh, Mrs. Houghton, would you get it for me?
15927Oh, how could he have even thought the word"silly"?
15927Oh, what shall we do?"
15927Oh, what_ can_ I do?"
15927Oh, what_ shall_ I do?"
15927Oh, why do n''t we have a baby?"
15927Oh,_ was_ it my fault?"
15927Oh-- will it be cold?"
15927Old darling Maurice-- what makes him unhappy?
15927On the strength of it he said to himself that he supposed he ought to give Lily a little something extra?
15927Once, annoyed at Jacky''s shrill noisiness, he had protested, frowning:"Ca n''t you keep it quiet?
15927One night in the boarding house-- the night of the eclipse?
15927Or I''ll move.... Perhaps that''s the best way?
15927Or maybe you would n''t mind going round there, and walking home with her?"
15927Or pretend not to know him?
15927Or that I''d tell any woman, when I did n''t tell you?
15927Or-- or badness?"
15927Orange cup, and that sort of fussy business you make out of cheese and the yolks of eggs?
15927Ought n''t he to marry Jacky''s mother?
15927People called this"wicked"?
15927Perhaps because of her efforts to be girlish?
15927Perhaps he did n''t want to talk of her now?
15927Perhaps he had friends there?
15927Perhaps his wife would live to be as old as mother?
15927Perhaps she called him''darling''?"
15927Perhaps the tiny, personal thing, Joy, and the stupendous, impersonal thing, Law, and the mysterious, unseen thing, Life, were all one?
15927Perhaps, it was just an effort to make up for what she had done in the morning?
15927Pity sharpened into anger: How could she have taken advantage of a boy?
15927Remember how she was always sort of dotty on Sir Walter Raleigh?
15927Remember the mountain?
15927Remember, Maurice?"
15927Rose was all right; but the other two?
15927Say his name was-- what did you call it?--William?"
15927Say, Edith, why could n''t we have a yellow scheme for the grub?
15927Say, Nelly, Morton asked me to go to a stag party to- morrow night; do you mind if I go?"
15927Say-- I believe you''re afraid I''ll try a hold- up on you some day?
15927See?
15927Set down, wo n''t you?"
15927Several times that winter Maurice said that Hannah"was the limit; so let''s board?"
15927Shall I not notice it?
15927Shall I talk about something else?"
15927She began to take off her hat, her fingers trembling-- then stopped and frowned:"I believe Eleanor''s been nasty to him?
15927She could not sit on the porch with Maurice, and not burst out and tell him-- what?
15927She debated putting it back into the envelope and inclosing it in her letter?
15927She dropped her hands and looked at him, her little, pretty face amazed and twitching:"Do you mean you''ll take my baby?"
15927She gasped,"Maurice--"And again,"_ Maurice!_ Have you hurt yourself?"
15927She has n''t quite got over the shock yet, but--""What shock?
15927She hasn''t-- brains?"
15927She laughed, and he said, resignedly,"I suppose you''ll have an hour''s shopping to do?
15927She looked scared, did n''t you think, Edith?"
15927She may-- suspect?
15927She nodded:"Ai n''t it luck to have it in the house?
15927She only said,"Maybe it''s the nervous prostration?
15927She pondered as she did these things why she should know so certainly how they must be done?
15927She said it with horror, and after a while she added a question:"_ Why_ did he do it?"
15927She said:"Johnny lick you?"
15927She says--""Has she got anything on you?"
15927She suggested hot- water bags and mustard plasters, until Mr. Houghton said to himself:"How_ does_ he stand it?
15927She swallowed an occasional yawn, and murmured to most of his statements,"Is that so?"
15927She wanted to be alone, and argue to herself that she had been guilty of a dreadful disloyalty to him...."Maurice?
15927She was thinking what she would say in her letter to him, and wondering, now and then, vaguely, what it would be like,_ afterward_?
15927She wondered how he endured the girl''s chatter?
15927Should Maurice marry the-- boy''s mother?
15927Should he recognize him?
15927Should she tell him the truth?--or some silly story of a walk to their meadow?
15927So Maurice said,"Oh, how are you?"
15927So she sang, softly:"How many times do I love again?
15927So the days passed, and each day Eleanor dredged her silences, to find words:"What shall I say to him?"
15927So why not keep things as they are?
15927So why should n''t you be happy?
15927So why should they ask her to come?
15927So, suppose she tried to be more sociable with them?
15927So, when he came back, whistling, to the library, he said:"Are you game for skating?
15927So-- what?
15927Some girl, Johnny?"
15927Sometimes,"--her amber eyes were lovely with anxiously pondering love--"sometimes I do n''t know but what I''ll make a preacher of him?
15927Suddenly he sat up:"What''s the use of lying?
15927Suppose Eleanor had known her_ Little Dorrit_?"
15927Suppose Eleanor took it into her head to hunt her up?
15927Suppose"it"was his?
15927That fatty was rather happy-- did you get on to that flask?"
15927That made him wonder what Edith would think of the whole business?
15927That''s friendly, is n''t it?"
15927The body may be just an old glove-- shabby, maybe; but if the hand inside the glove is alive, what real difference does the shabbiness make?
15927The bond salesman said,"I wonder if he''ll go to the ball game with me on Saturday?
15927The fellows, after the first amazement, fell on him with all kinds of ragging: Who was she?
15927The misery in his voice startled her; she said, quickly,"How do you mean, Maurice?
15927The next thing is for me to find a job for him.... She is good looking, Mary?"
15927The other lady was murmuring in Maurice''s ear:"What is your college?"
15927Then Eleanor''s apprehension spoke:"What_ will_ Mr. Houghton say?"
15927Then came beating its way up through anger and wounded pride, and suffering love, still another question:"Was it my fault that he did it?
15927Then he asked her about herself: Had she friends?
15927Then it must be--?
15927Then one of the"faded flowers"spoke to Brown, who said, vaguely,"What, ma''am?"
15927Then ran down the steps and put her hand on his arm:"Maurice, look here; is there anything I can do?
15927Then she pondered the possibilities of her allowance: If she was"going out,"ought n''t she to have a real evening dress?
15927Then she said, soberly:"I suppose father''s sorry''cause she''ll die so soon, she''s so old?
15927Then she stamped her foot, for Jacky had settled down again in the dust;"Do you hear me?
15927Then she whispered:"There is... a child?"
15927Then the ambulance rolled softly away, and he stood on the curbstone and felt his heart swelling in his throat:"Why did I say''_ my_''?"
15927Then you''ll keep straight?
15927Then, even as she spoke, she was frightened; what was this thing that he did not dare to tell Eleanor?--"or me?"
15927Then, perhaps, say she would forgive him?...
15927Then, pouring Mrs. Houghton''s tea, she suddenly spoke:"I know you-- know?"
15927Then, suddenly, all her chances to talk stopped:"What''s the matter with Maurice?"
15927Then, to remind him of lovelier things, she began to sing, very softly:"Art thou poor, yet hast thou golden slumbers?
15927Think you can start to- morrow?"
15927This, then, was what Maurice had meant?
15927Though, probably, he''d have to give her some money?
15927To Maurice, rushing on alone, the relief of hating Eleanor was lost in the uprush of that ghastly possibility:"If it_ is_ mine?"
15927To keep her quiet, he said, good- naturedly,"Do n''t you want to sing, Nelly?"
15927To which he answered,"Where did I put those sheets of blotting paper, Eleanor?"
15927Two?
15927Under the chatter of the other two, it was easier to say this than to say,"Is Lily telling the truth?"
15927Understand?
15927Understand?"
15927Understand?"
15927Unless it was Lily?
15927Upstairs, the doctor said,"Well?"
15927Walking aimlessly about in the cold, he said to himself, dully,"Why_ was_ I such an idiot as to marry her?"
15927Want to see him?"
15927Was Lily mad?
15927Was he annoyed at Edith''s bad taste in referring to the creature?
15927Was it her you was looking for?"
15927Was it on the rowlock?"
15927Was it what I told you about Edith?
15927Was n''t that a joke?"
15927Was she out of baby clothes?
15927Well, I suppose what you meant was that Eleanor is stupid?"
15927Well, now, ai n''t the world small?"
15927Well, perhaps there was some woman?
15927Well, what do you suppose?
15927Well; a rope?
15927Well?"
15927What could he do but be silent, too?
15927What could he do but choke down the confessing, redeeming words that were on his lips?
15927What did you say your name was?"
15927What difference did the twenty severing years make, after all?
15927What do you mean?
15927What do you mean?"
15927What do you suppose is the matter?"
15927What do you suppose she means?
15927What does Mrs. Maurice Curtis( does n''t that sound pretty fine?)
15927What happened?"
15927What has happened?"
15927What in hell would she say next?
15927What invitation?"
15927What is it?
15927What is it?"
15927What kept you downstairs until this hour?"
15927What kind of an''accident''?
15927What made him grab my ear?"
15927What made him stop?...
15927What must I do?"
15927What must he do fear him?
15927What must she do?
15927What on earth had detained him?
15927What put such an idea into your head?"
15927What shall I do to stop her?"
15927What shall we do?
15927What shall we do?"
15927What should she tell him about the"accident"?
15927What time will I come to- morrow, when he''s not around?"
15927What was all this funny business?
15927What was the matter with him?
15927What was the matter?
15927What water?"
15927What will_ he_ do when he hears?
15927What would a handsome young man like him be wanting a baby for?
15927What would you do, looking after a little girl?
15927What''s the matter with Pennsylvania?"
15927What''s the matter?"
15927What''s the matter?"
15927What?"
15927What_ are_ you doing?"
15927What_ is_ the matter?"
15927When Edith and her mother had arrived, unaccompanied by Maurice, Eleanor was sharply worried; had anything happened to him?
15927When are they coming?"
15927When did he stop being happy?
15927When does your school close?
15927When he began to talk to her it was all she could do to say,"Really?"
15927When he came in for his second visit, late that afternoon, she asked him, archly, what he and Edith had been talking about so long in his room?
15927When she said,"You are in love with her?"
15927When was it?
15927When will Mr. Curtis be back?"
15927When?
15927When?
15927Where are you?
15927Where are you?"
15927Where did her family live?
15927Where do you want this trunk put, Eleanor?"
15927Where to?
15927Where''s Buster?"
15927Where''s your coat?"
15927Which caused Edith to say,"Is Eleanor uninteresting, father?"
15927Which made her say, gently,"Maurice, perhaps I know what troubles you?"
15927While he was writing that triumphant telegram Maurice was wondering:"Was John Bennett a complete idiot?
15927While we are at Green Hill, let''s camp out up there?"
15927Who ca n''t?"
15927Who give you that horrid thing?"
15927Who instructed you in the noble art of profanity?"
15927Who to?
15927Who with, then?
15927Who''s going to stop a lady telephoning her beau?
15927Why are there more jealous women than men?"
15927Why ca n''t I tell him so, now?"
15927Why ca n''t he go on shingling the chicken coop?"
15927Why ca n''t you be satisfied to have me like you almost as much as I like Maurice?"
15927Why could n''t she go now, and sit on the porch steps beside him, and say-- anything?
15927Why could n''t she say that?
15927Why did he stop loving me?
15927Why did n''t Hannah give us hard- boiled eggs?"
15927Why did n''t I tell him to give her that five cents?
15927Why did n''t she adopt him?...
15927Why did n''t they let me know before?"
15927Why do n''t you ask him?"
15927Why do n''t you come to bed?"
15927Why not?"
15927Why run the risk of an explosion, by confessing to Eleanor?"
15927Why should I be?"
15927Why should I care?"
15927Why should I have anything to do with her?"
15927Why should he change the subject?
15927Why should he_ not_ tell her?
15927Why should n''t she train your mind?"
15927Why wo n''t you come and walk?
15927Why?"
15927Why?"
15927Will that make you easy in your mind?"
15927Wonder if she''d sell some roots?"
15927Would he?
15927Would it ever return?
15927Would n''t you hate Maurice if he was jealous of you?
15927Would n''t you think, if anyone was enough of a lady to wash your father, you would n''t go to the Board of Health about her?
15927Would n''t you, Eleanor?
15927Would she come in a perambulator?
15927Would you give him up?
15927Would you send for a doctor, if you was me?"
15927Yes?
15927Yet once in a while she balanced the advantages and disadvantages of the one way in which Jacky could be given:_ Lily_?
15927Yet, just because Inconceivable Greatness was great, might n''t it know Inconceivable Littleness?
15927You come, too?"
15927You did n''t think that she was n''t_ proper_?"
15927You do n''t know what it would mean to me, just to hope?"
15927You have n''t a secret from Eleanor?"
15927You have n''t said that before Eleanor?"
15927You mean"--her voice trembled--"feel hurt to have you dance_ three times_, with a girl who said an uncomplimentary thing about me?"
15927You need n''t try to deceive me,--he''s been flirtin''with some woman?"
15927You never do anything for anybody, except for what you get out of it for yourself.... Let''s go skating?"
15927You see that, do n''t you?"
15927You think he''ll make up to Edith Houghton?
15927You think there_ is_ somebody?"
15927You understand?"
15927You will believe I love you, wo n''t you, darling?
15927You wo n''t call me jealous any more, will you?
15927You wo n''t give me up, will you?"
15927You''ll do it?
15927You''re going to put on your new suit and go and see a lady--""Lady?
15927You--"he said, smiling at Maurice,"Mr.--?
15927You_ must_ have got it by five-- why did n''t you come?
15927Your intentions are doubtless excellent, but your truthfulness leaves something to be desired:''Years wo n''t make any difference''?
15927_ Could they_?"
15927_ Did you go alone?_... Will you be home to- night to dinner?
15927_ Did you go alone?_... Will you be home to- night to dinner?
15927_ Do you hear me?_ She tried so hard to save Jacky.
15927_ Married_?
15927_ Maurice_ had said--?
15927_ Me?_ Well, I must say, I do n''t see no cause why you should!
15927_ She must take him down the mountain...._ But how?
15927_ She understood!_ Would she understand now?
15927_ Suppose Lily had told the truth_?
15927_ Was Eleanor silly?_ Now, to a man whose feeling about his wife has been a sort of awe, this question is terrifying.
15927_ Was_ it what I said, that made you-- that bothered you, I mean?
15927_ What_ happened?"
15927_ Where are you going?_"Maurice, answering with bored patience, thought, with tender amusement, of Edith''s advice,"Tell Eleanor."
15927_ Women ca n''t stand truth._""It''s a provision of nature, then, that all men are liars?"
15927a_ nursery_?"
15927an appalled"Am I?"
15927care for a lot of old cats?
15927cared?"
15927he asked himself;"probably old Brad and Mrs. Newbolt have fed oats to him, so he''ll kick-- but what do I care?
15927he broke in,"Eleanor''s all right, is n''t she?"
15927he said, frantically,"speculating on the possibility of anything happening to her?"
15927he said;"how do you mean?
15927he says,''how many years was that before I was born?''
15927he thought:"I wonder how he is?
15927one of the"gentlemen"said, crossly, and as she stepped into the now bailed- out skiff, she said to Maurice,"Where shall I return it to?"
15927said Edith''s mother, with a shrug;"well; if you can explain Eleanor, perhaps you can explain Maurice?"
15927said Edith, stirring the seething sweetness;"Johnny, be a lamb, and get me a tumbler of cold water, will you, to try this stuff?"
15927said Edith;"did you hear?"
15927said Edith;"did you suppose I was going to fall into her arms?
15927said Eleanor; her face was furrowed with pain;"Do n''t you?"
15927said Maurice;"did you suppose it was_ that_?"
15927said Maurice;"what''ll we do?"
15927said Mrs. Newbolt;"do you mean--?"
15927she inquired, sweetly;"Henry, the loss of Edith''s board wo n''t trouble Maurice much, will it?"
15927she pondered"Can his allowance be increased?"
15927she said, horrified; then objected:"Ca n''t she rationalize and fall in love too?
15927she said,"I hear you had an accident?
15927she said: then she sighed;"why_ did_ she do it?"
15927she said; her annoyance made her look so mature that he was apologetic; was she in love with the cub?
15927she said;"oh, is it as bad as that?
15927she said;"what am I going to do?
15927she said;"what''s the matter?
15927she thought,"what am I going to do with her?"
15927she thought;"why does he hide things from me?"
15927she thought;"why-- unless he goes over to Medfield?"
15927she''d ask why?
15927what can I do?"
15927what difference does it make?
15927what more do you want?
15927what will she say next?"
15927what''s the matter with my shoes?"
15927why did I meet Lily?
