60633	A big bear?
60633	AY, WHERE WERE THEY?
60633	And finding us gone, what then?
60633	And suppose you did not; are you the sort of warrior that shoots another in the back?
60633	And why not?
60633	Are you hurt, my darling Edith?
60633	Are you strong enough to stand this hard ride?
60633	Ay, where were they?
60633	But how are we to find them?
60633	But how are we to know such fords?
60633	But suppose you and I or my father meet, or you have the chance to harm my mother and little sister, Edith?
60633	But what meant your course toward me yesterday? 60633 But what will become of you?"
60633	Can it be that I have shaken them off at last?
60633	Can it be that you have scented a deep place in front and want to save me from a bath?
60633	Can you stand it, father?
60633	Do n''t you catch on? 60633 Have you noticed those bucks on the top of the ridge yonder?"
60633	How did you find it out?
60633	How do you do?
60633	How do you feel, father?
60633	How far are we from Wounded Knee?
60633	How long have they been there?
60633	How many do you think are out there now?
60633	How was it, Nick?
60633	How?
60633	I never dreamed of this; can you forgive this dreadful mistake?
60633	I wonder what has become of them?
60633	I''ll do anything I can, my lad, but what is it?
60633	If I only knew where they were, if alive, I would guide this escort from Wounded Knee to their help----What was that?
60633	In what way?
60633	Is he better and stronger now?
60633	Is he not in danger?
60633	Is he?
60633	It can have but one meaning,muttered Brinton, with a throbbing heart;"someone is in peril: can it be_ they_?"
60633	Kindled for what purpose?
60633	Must we cross that?
60633	No; look at that thin line of smoke; do n''t you see something peculiar?
60633	Oh, there is Wolf Ear?
60633	Oh, where is he? 60633 That''s what I would like to know; I am worried to death, Nick; ca n''t you help us?"
60633	They are on the watch for us, of course; how far away do you judge the trail to be?
60633	Thus we meet, Brinton,he said in his low voice;"will you come forward and shake hands?"
60633	True; but how can such a thing succeed? 60633 We are enemies"CHAPTER V."What will be their next step?"
60633	We ca n''t tell about that; are you stronger?
60633	Well, Wolf Ear, I can only say I am sorry that you should have been carried away by this error----"By what right do you call it error?
60633	What are they doing?
60633	What are you doing here, Nick?
60633	What are you saying?
60633	What do you propose to do?
60633	What does it matter,asked his mother in turn,"so long as we can not see them?
60633	What has that to do with this?
60633	What is the matter, Hugh?
60633	What is the matter?
60633	What is the meaning of that?
60633	What is this revelation?
60633	What made you leave before I got back?
60633	What will Brinton think? 60633 What will be their next step?"
60633	Where is it?
60633	Where were the squaws and children during the fight?
60633	Where?
60633	Whom do you suppose I saw?
60633	Why do you do that, Hugh?
60633	Why should I shake hands?
60633	Why, Brint, is that you?
60633	Will they suspect that we have been this way?
60633	You believe in the coming of One to save your people-- why should not we place faith in the coming of our Messiah?
60633	You grieve me more than I can express,replied the father;"are you sure you are not mistaken?"
60633	You must be mistaken; for, if that were the case, why did he ride out here alone? 60633 Ah me, what will become of father, ill and weak as he is?
60633	An expression of scorn passed over the face of the scout as he made answer--"Where was they?
60633	Ay, where were they?
60633	But how are we to escape them?"
60633	But what is the other point you wish me to hold in mind?"
60633	But where are the folk?"
60633	But where?
60633	But who can say how soon he, too, shall not be thus cut down with mother and little Edith?"
60633	CHAPTER V."WHAT WILL BE THEIR NEXT STEP?"
60633	Can it be possible that he is going to get well after all?"
60633	Did n''t he want to see me?
60633	Do you see that light away to the south?"
60633	How could I forget them so long?"
60633	How do you feel now?"
60633	I am so sorry; is n''t he with you?"
60633	I wonder----"He held his breath a moment, and then only whisper--"I wonder if they have not already visited our home?"
60633	If so, the question might well be asked what was meant by this extraordinary behaviour of the red men?
60633	Oh, how can I be thankful enough?
60633	Then he rode forward and asked--"Was Nick badly hurt?"
60633	There''s no question that a big lot of''em was killed, and how was it to be helped?
60633	Was it not more likely that he came to learn whether we needed protection?
60633	What will Brinton think?"
60633	Where are they?
60633	Where then was the hope of eluding the hostiles, who were clinging so persistently to his track?
60633	Where under heaven can the folk be?
60633	Why did n''t he come with you?
60633	Why did not Wolf Ear, when he saw he could not reach his pony in time, halt and bring his gun to bear on his fierce pursuer?
60633	Why did they not conceal themselves until the fugitives rode directly into their arms?
60633	With only a brief comment on what had been told him, he said, starting up--"But, Nick, of what have I been thinking?
60633	Wolf Ear fixed his eyes upon the wondering Brinton, who, walking forward and stooping down, asked in a choking voice--"Is all this true, Wolf Ear?"
60633	You had to abandon everything?"
60633	You have heard of the battle at Wounded Knee Creek, I suppose?"
60633	You understand what_ that_ means, of course?"
60633	did he hurt you?"
60633	she asked;"are you ill?"
60633	the brother groaned,"is it too late to save her?"
60633	what have I been doing?"
60633	what is the meaning of that?"
60633	what''s the matter, Jack?"
60633	what''s up now?"
60633	where are you?"
60633	whispered the youth;"is n''t that smoke?"
43806	And are we to be starved because we neither wear red coats nor are willing to march shoulder to shoulder with them?
43806	And our own forces?
43806	And shall you rejoice at finding yourself standing musket in hand before the foe?
43806	And would you like to remember that we captured a lad who was once our friend, for others to hang in cold blood?
43806	And you are eager to go into the combat?
43806	And you have no hesitation about the matter, young Shelby?
43806	And you swear faithfully to repeat every word of the message I give you, to each of those rebels who is in command of a dozen or more men?
43806	And yours?
43806	Are these your orders, or do you repeat some other''s words?
43806	Are they soldiers or Tories?
43806	Are we to be left behind?
43806	Are you acquainted with all the rebel leaders hereabouts?
43806	Are you countin''on killin''me?
43806	Are you ready?
43806	Are you young gentlemen setting out in search of the Tory?
43806	Ay; but what does that prove? 43806 Ay; how else could it be when both sides are ready to fight?"
43806	Beside the men who came out with you on the trail, how many are scouting around in this neighborhood?
43806	But how may you get there? 43806 But surely you have some apartment which will answer our purpose?
43806	But think you she has lost all hope? 43806 But what of Nathan and I?"
43806	Can we believe what he says?
43806	Did you have any further communication with her?
43806	Did you have no assistance when you got out of the room which had been converted into a prison?
43806	Do you count on making such a venture?
43806	Do you intend to attack the Britishers, intrenched as they are on the mountain?
43806	Do you know if he intends making a move soon?
43806	Do you mean that he would dare to kill us?
43806	Do you think it will be safe for us to leave him here with you?
43806	Do you think we are to be bullied by such as you?
43806	Does it appear to you as if we heard those sounds more clearly?
43806	Ephraim escaped?
43806	Happened?
43806	Have the troops any other weapons than muskets?
43806	Have you any further orders, sir?
43806	Have you any idea that it might be possible to pull that down?
43806	Have you any idea why the major chanced to take that place as an encampment?
43806	Have you lost sight of him?
43806	Have you seen Ephraim Sowers here?
43806	Have you seen him since we halted?
43806	How can we help you?
43806	How could any spy have learned of their intended movements?
43806	How dare you speak in that way when Major Ferguson is nearby to overhear the words?
43806	How did you escape?
43806	How far from here?
43806	How is it you are here? 43806 How long has he been there?"
43806	How many are the king''s soldiers, and how many Tories?
43806	How many men has Major Ferguson?
43806	How many men think you Major Ferguson can muster?
43806	How may that be now that we have come to know him for what he is? 43806 How might that be?"
43806	How much wrong would you have done had we not set upon you the night the force at Greene''s Spring were to be massacred?
43806	I know it, and yet what may be done? 43806 If I mistake not, it is Ephraim Sowers, and what may he be doing here among the redcoats?"
43806	Is Abbott here to say how the lad escaped?
43806	Is it not possible for you to release us?
43806	Is there to be a battle?
43806	Is your mother thus despondent?
43806	Now that we have got the sneak, what is to be done with him?
43806	Of whom are they speaking?
43806	Shall we accept the offer, Evan?
43806	Shall we do it?
43806	Suppose you let either Evan or I ride him? 43806 That does n''t explain how you escaped?"
43806	That seems indeed true,Nathan replied,"and yet will Colonel William Campbell of Virginia remain idle?
43806	The Britishers must have left the plantation, otherwise how could you be here?
43806	The gentleman has considerable to say for himself, eh?
43806	Then Mrs. Dillard_ did_ get here in time?
43806	Then the boy is yet there?
43806	Then we are the stronger?
43806	Then who shall say that such mischief has been done?
43806	Then why do you follow? 43806 To what end?"
43806	Well, have you finished giving Major Ferguson all the information he desired?
43806	Well, what does that prove?
43806	What are you fellows doing over there by the window?
43806	What could be done with him?
43806	What has happened?
43806	What have you done with the Tory?
43806	What is it you want to know?
43806	What mountain?
43806	What shall I tell you?
43806	What''s wrong in there?
43806	When are we to start?
43806	When we were again captured was it in your mind to treat us as friends?
43806	Where are we to go, sir?
43806	Where are your fathers?
43806	Where are your forces encamped?
43806	Where did the Tory go? 43806 Where is Evan McDowells?"
43806	Who are you?
43806	Who gave you to understand anything of the kind?
43806	Who is it?
43806	Who may say for how long he has acted the spy? 43806 Who shall say until it has been tried?"
43806	Why did you not keep him with you?
43806	Why do n''t you begin?
43806	Why do n''t you fire on the chance of winging him? 43806 Why might we not escape?
43806	Will you swear that she did not enter the room?
43806	Will you swear that you sent no word to Colonel Clarke''s forces?
43806	Would you carry away from their homes two boys upon whom a family is depending for food?
43806	Would you make prisoners of us who are not soldiers?
43806	Would you murder a fellow who never did you any harm?
43806	Would you take me, who has never done you any wrong, to where I shall be killed?
43806	Would you venture to lead him back?
43806	You understand, also, that we are like to measure strength with them before many hours?
43806	You will not delay?
43806	Are you not the same who were taken prisoners this evening and confined in the Dillard house?"
43806	Are you ready, Evan?"
43806	But tell me what is the message which he charged you to deliver to all the rebels within fifty miles?"
43806	Can it be possible he has escaped?"
43806	Can the cellar be securely fastened?"
43806	Dillard?"
43806	Do you believe my uncle, Colonel Shelby, or Lieutenant- Colonel John Sevier, have laid down their arms?
43806	Evan stepped back a pace in fear; but Nathan boldly held his ground as he asked bravely:"Think you, sir, that two lads like us may do the king harm?"
43806	Has he also been made prisoner?"
43806	He had no more than spoken before one of the officers came up and asked of those standing near by:"Who had charge of these lads?"
43806	How long has it been that you of the Carolinas must search for food in the forests?"
43806	How well would that plan work if we did our duty, and killed you here and now?
43806	I suppose every man at the camp bears down heavily upon me?"
43806	It was this officer who accosted the frightened lads, by asking in a loud voice which had in it much of menace:"What are you two doing here armed?
43806	When did you fall into the hands of the enemy?"
43806	Why not?
43806	Will you admit that such horses as are owned by you may not cover that distance before a boy can do so on foot?
43806	Would you avoid the encounter if it could be done honorably?"
45573	A letter, mother?
45573	And have you been molested on the way?
45573	And now, sir, will you advise me as to your own movements?
45573	And now, what are your plans for to- morrow?
45573	And was this tale believed?
45573	And where is Bixio?
45573	And will you be sending him any money, mother?
45573	And you went where you liked and did what you liked, just as if you were grown- up men? 45573 And you will fight?"
45573	And you, professor?
45573	And your grandfather has not changed much, you said?
45573	Are you asleep, monsieur?
45573	Are you going anywhere in particular when you land?
45573	Are you ready to trot on?
45573	At best?
45573	At what hour shall we meet you, and where?
45573	But how are we to be assured?
45573	But how could they know me?
45573	But how, mother, could it be?
45573	But what can there be for us to do?
45573	But what took you out beyond the village, Captain Percival? 45573 But who are the revolutionists?"
45573	But why on earth should n''t you marry, Tom? 45573 But why should you respect a master who has been, as you say, good at sports, more than one who has studied hard?"
45573	Certainly, monsieur; but why should an Englishman want them?
45573	Could you spare me an hour of your time to- day? 45573 Did we not hear all about his being killed, how Beppo saw him shot, and how one of the band testified that he was dead and buried?"
45573	Do you think, mother-- do you think it possible? 45573 Francs, you must mean, surely?"
45573	Have you any news?
45573	Have you anything to declare?
45573	Have you found all as you wished?
45573	He is lost?
45573	How about the photographs?
45573	How could they catch me there?
45573	How is he looking?
45573	How long has he been a prisoner here?
45573	How long will it be before Cialdini arrives with his army before Capua?
45573	How many men has he?
45573	I see you still wear your arm in a sling?
45573	I suppose we had better push on with Garibaldi, grandfather?
45573	In what way, signora?
45573	Is every one well, Beppo?
45573	Is it treason, lieutenant,he asked quietly,"to ask what has been going on?"
45573	It would be such a satisfaction to laugh in their faces and to shout,''Have you had a pleasant journey?'' 45573 May I ask how large a force you are likely to take over with you, general?"
45573	May I ask your business?
45573	My ticket?
45573	Now, what is it?
45573	Of whom are you speaking, Forli? 45573 Or, mother?"
45573	Prato has this afternoon shot my husband, and for what? 45573 Six of us, including yourself, could not hold this church long?"
45573	So we are to stay behind with you?
45573	Surrender to whom?
45573	That is a pretty little child, is n''t she, if her face were but clean? 45573 That is certainly true; but in that case, why should we have made these preparations for defence?"
45573	The son of the Captain Percival who was murdered while searching in Naples for Signor Forli?
45573	Then we quite understand each other, padre: openly you protest against our using the church, privately you approve of our doing so?
45573	Then you think five men would be sufficient?
45573	Then, in fact, Rubini, our journey up here is to be a mere useless promenade?
45573	There is no fear of trouble in the town?
45573	What are you going to Naples for?
45573	What do you think that means?
45573	What do you think, Captain Percival?
45573	What do you think, Zippo?
45573	What do you want with me?
45573	What for, mother? 45573 What in the world can the mater want to see me in such a hurry for?"
45573	What is it about, mother?
45573	What is up, Percival?
45573	What other alternative can there be?
45573	What was there under the stairs?
45573	Where is my mother?
45573	Where is the professor?
45573	Whom have you got hold of now, mother?
45573	Why not?
45573	Will you go in with me to see Garibaldi?
45573	Will you have a separate command, Percival? 45573 Will you have more, sir?
45573	Will you stay here a short time longer?
45573	Will you take my vehicle back?
45573	Will you take one of my pistols, Rubini?
45573	Yes; but if he were bigger and stronger, and you could not box, what would be the good of that? 45573 Yes; but you say that this man was a priest, a clergyman?"
45573	You are sure that this is the entire list?
45573	You have heard the news?
45573	You know your way through the forest in the dark?
45573	You mean on pleasure, signor?
45573	You must have suffered intensely, Percival?
45573	You will let me go in my father''s place, mother, will you not? 45573 About what time does the steamer start?
45573	And can I really go out?"
45573	And now, what are we to do with ourselves?
45573	And so you have taken up again the work that seemed postponed for another century at Rome?"
45573	And so your mother has sent you to me?"
45573	And you say this woman did not betray them?"
45573	And you, professor?"
45573	And you?"
45573	And your mother-- did she lose hope?"
45573	Are the others like this?"
45573	Are there any more of them about?"
45573	Are you going as second in command?"
45573	Are you in a cabin by yourself?"
45573	Are you sure that, although you may not know it, you have not been searched?"
45573	Are you to stay with me, or to go on to Messina?"
45573	But who could have been looking for us both?
45573	By what miracle did you escape from the net that was thrown around you?"
45573	Can I telegraph?"
45573	Can I trust you?"
45573	Can you fence?
45573	Can you recommend anything better, my friend?"
45573	Did you see how she scowled?
45573	Do you know what you are going to do?"
45573	Do you learn that at your schools?"
45573	Do you not agree with me, Zippo?"
45573	Do you think that we shall fight, Leonard?"
45573	Frank was silent, and Sarto added,"Do you not think so, Percival?"
45573	Frank was sleeping soundly when he was woke by Rubini''s sharp challenge,"Who goes there?"
45573	Has he not come with you?
45573	Have you more boats coming out?"
45573	How could she be otherwise, as the daughter of Forli and the wife of my brave comrade?
45573	How did you come over here?"
45573	How long do you suppose it will be before we join Garibaldi at Messina?"
45573	How many boats have you with you?"
45573	How many men do you propose to take with you?"
45573	How many police are there here?"
45573	How was it?
45573	However, why do you ask''shall we go on to Naples?''
45573	I have not been up to the tower: have any of you?"
45573	I know your opinions on the subject; but I suppose you do not propose to fight yourself?"
45573	I suppose I shall not go back to school before I start?"
45573	I suppose there is a way out on to the roof?"
45573	I suppose there is no fear of my being further annoyed?"
45573	I suppose we can hardly start for a long walk?"
45573	I suppose you are here on duty?"
45573	I suppose you came through Traina last night?"
45573	I suppose you go on to- morrow?"
45573	I suppose your loss was not heavy?"
45573	I suppose, father, it would hardly be fair to ask you if there are many of these fellows in the neighbourhood?"
45573	Is all Europe at war, that he has managed to bring an army here?"
45573	Is it so that he was missing?
45573	Is n''t he a fearfully respectable- looking man?
45573	Is there any chance of our being disturbed before the men are all ashore?"
45573	Let us suppose that the detachment has been cut to pieces: what is our look- out here?
45573	Now I ask you frankly, do you think that many of them, or, indeed, any of them, would be likely to get back here?
45573	Now, what are you doing here?"
45573	Now, what can you tell me about the position of the enemy?"
45573	Of course, your father is here with you?"
45573	Of course, your masters are not priests?"
45573	One moment, though, before you leave me: is my wife alive and well, and my daughter?"
45573	So that is what that bread and wine you brought in was for?
45573	So you took up the mission which had cost your father either his life or his liberty?
45573	Suddenly he said,''Is it not possible that he may have been removed before the king and his court retired?''
45573	Suppose that they are ambushed and that none of them get back here?"
45573	Supposing him to be alive, where do you think he would most probably be imprisoned?"
45573	Surely my wife never believed it?"
45573	Surely the general is not coming this way?"
45573	The railway is open, is it not?
45573	Then you think that that plan will answer?"
45573	Was the search made for it simply by the carabinieri?"
45573	We can defend the place, or rather we can defend ourselves, for three or four days; but what would be the benefit of that?
45573	What became of him?"
45573	What could an army, however numerous, of the frivolous population of Naples have done against them?
45573	What force have you?"
45573	What has happened?"
45573	What would be their feelings if they arrived and found the party gone?
45573	When this was done, Sarto said,"What next, Percival?"
45573	Where is he?
45573	Which man do you send?"
45573	Why do you ask?"
45573	Why should a man look on and see a woman ill- treated without lifting his hand to save her, simply because he is a clergyman?
45573	Will it be necessary for me to stay with him till he marches to Messina, or can I ride for that city when I have delivered your orders?"
45573	Will you at once carry it round?"
45573	Will you be at that door five minutes after the clock strikes?"
45573	Will you go to the other gate?
45573	Will you please drive on at once?"
45573	You do n''t mean Garibaldi?"
45573	Your arm still goes on well?"
45573	Your father is going on all right, I hope?"
45573	and how is he?"
45573	he repeated:"you heard that he was killed?
45573	he said, after the first greeting--"an Italian?
45573	yes, it is Frank: is this a miracle, or am I dreaming?"
55966	And does my lord the Earl know that your heart is yet unchanged, my lord?
55966	And if it does, what then?
55966	And shall we return to the army when you have fulfilled your errand? 55966 And so you did truly love the poor maiden, who was said to drop down dead, or nigh to dead, at sight of Jeffreys''evil face?
55966	And the King himself, what did he say?
55966	And what is the life of the Court like, my lord?
55966	And what is thy name?
55966	And what was in the letter?
55966	And where be the other fair maidens?
55966	And will Mistress Mary Mead be amongst those who will present them?
55966	Art not thou ashamed to speak with one who is to be tied to the cart''s tail yonder?
55966	Ashamed of thee, Will? 55966 Awake, boy,"he said,"and ready for a march?
55966	But can he do hurt to me or to you, my lord?
55966	But he will not betray the cause?
55966	But surely, my lord, your noble father could not have aught but love for one so sweet as Mistress Mary?
55966	But who can tell what joy was there, And what content of mind Was put into the hearts of those Who''d been so long confined? 55966 But, my lord, how can we fail, with all the country flocking to the King''s standard?"
55966	But, uncle,I exclaimed eagerly,"surely you are for the Duke?"
55966	Can England itself boast a fairer and more gracious maid than my Mary? 55966 Can I have speech with John Snowe?"
55966	Could he not be hidden away?
55966	Dicon,she went on in a low tone, speaking in my ear,"thou dost know my home at Bishop''s Hull, on the road to Wellington?"
55966	Did he speak of the Duke-- the Duke of Monmouth? 55966 Didst thou know they were to be called out?"
55966	Do? 55966 Dost think harm will come to her, my lord?"
55966	Dost think, my lord, that it is only men who are willing to suffer and to die in a noble cause? 55966 Dost thou know the lane which leads into a thick wood, and a very marshy tract some two furlongs before you reach the gate to the house?"
55966	Have you given up all hopes of seeing him again? 55966 Is he dead?
55966	Is that so, Dicon? 55966 Is that so?"
55966	Is there to be a battle, my lord?
55966	May we not pray a while ere we are brought before our Maker?
55966	Mistress Mary,I whispered, wonderingly, for I knew her father to be a stanch supporter of the King in London,"how come you hither?"
55966	Nay, my good friend, how could that be so?
55966	O Dicon,she exclaimed, in a passionate way quite foreign to her usual calm,"how will this end-- how will it end?
55966	O Will, why didst thou do it?
55966	Oh how, fair Mistress?
55966	So you know how to groom a horse as well as how to read a book?
55966	Surely your lordship must have desired to see the gay world of fashion and the person of the King''s Majesty?
55966	The witch is not right, Dicon,he cried more than once;"for come what may in the future, is not this glory enow to satisfy the heart of man?
55966	They will not kill her?
55966	Was not that good news, my lord?
55966	Well, my good lad, and art thou come to make a soldier in our ranks?
55966	What can they do to her?
55966	What did he do? 55966 What did he say?"
55966	What does it matter to God whether deliverance is wrought by many or by few? 55966 What fairy messenger brought thee here in time after all?"
55966	What has happened?
55966	What is it? 55966 What use to the cause is a city without walls?"
55966	Where is he? 55966 Where is the Duke?"
55966	Where take they him now?
55966	Which fellow?
55966	Who art thou, boy, and what is thine errand?
55966	Why did you not pursue them, father,cried Lizzie,"and kill all who would not join you?
55966	Why, boy,he cried, looking up at me at last,"canst add up rows of figures like that, and bring the right total at the end?"
55966	With that our soldiers one and all Cast up their caps, and cried,''What need we fear what man can do, Since God is on our side?'' 55966 You are going to Bristol then, my lord?"
55966	--"Where is the King?
55966	Ah, why did I not see things then as I do now?
55966	And how about the march upon London?
55966	And how came the battle to be lost?
55966	And how can we get it back for her without telling all?
55966	And if that should indeed be true, why need we fear the rest?
55966	And now what shall I tell next of all the events that followed in such quick succession?
55966	And now, how and when am I to begin my tale?
55966	And so the discipline of the Church is relaxed, is it, and its evil servants can not be touched?
55966	And whither art thou away?
55966	And who will seek to stop you then, or even give a passing glance?
55966	Are our horses in fettle for the road to- morrow?
55966	Are we travelling the same road?
55966	Are you assured of his death?"
55966	Art thou from Monmouth''s following?"
55966	As it was, the tears would not come to my relief, and all I said was,--"Did he come with them?"
55966	As we were decorating a window together later on, and nobody else chanced to be by, I ventured to ask respectfully,--"Is aught amiss, fair mistress?"
55966	But I say, Dicon, what has happened to our good friend and preacher Mr. Blewer?
55966	But Mary can not always lie hidden; and how is she to appear again?
55966	But dost thou think that England will be content to follow a Duke, even though he be the son of a King?
55966	But tell me, are you sure that no hurt can fall upon you for this good deed?
55966	But then had she not said that the King should die in exile?
55966	But times have changed since I was a boy-- perhaps for the better, perhaps for the worse; who knows?
55966	But what boots it to muse or to speak thus?
55966	But what boots it to talk of these matters now?
55966	But where can she go?
55966	Can I make shift to see her?"
55966	Can she not do even as she did before?"
55966	Canst meet me then here in this spot by three of the clock to- morrow morning?
55966	Canst swim, Dicon?"
55966	Canst thou be discreet?
55966	Canst thou obtain it for me?
55966	Could I have done other than I did?"
55966	Could it have been that some presentiment of his cruelty stole over me even then?
55966	Could she indeed ally herself to one who was banded upon the other side?
55966	Could the Duke indeed be one of these?
55966	Dicon, dost thou know that Lord Jeffreys abides with him in his house here in the town?
55966	Dicon, hast thou ever seen the Lord Chief- Justice Jeffreys?
55966	Dicon, hast thou read thy history so ill as that thou thinkest England and England''s armies can be subdued by such as these?"
55966	Dicon, thou knowest that our enemy Mr. Blewer is in the town?"
55966	Dicon, thou lovest Mary, dost thou not?"
55966	Dicon, what shall we do?"
55966	Dicon, when that befell us, what could we do?
55966	Did he say aught of him and his rights?"
55966	Did not the mouse in the fable loose the bonds of the lion?
55966	Didst ever see town so bedecked as Taunton is this day?
55966	Didst thou see him then?"
55966	Does the Duke think his work is done when but a few ungarrisoned towns in the West stand for his cause?"
55966	Dost know, lad, that except my unworthy self, not one bearing the name of gentleman has joined the Duke to- day?
55966	Has it ever been told thee that I love Mistress Mary as a man loves the maiden he would fain seek for his wife?"
55966	Has that, too, been abandoned?
55966	Hast never read that page of history, nor how it was relieved on the eleventh day of May?
55966	Hast thou not taken up arms in the same good cause?
55966	Hath aught of hurt befallen?"
55966	Have all gone?
55966	Have you bethought you what the consequences may be should the issue of this revolt be other than the well- wishers of the Duke desire?"
55966	He is an instrument something too finely tempered for such rough and ready warfare.--Boy,"he said, looking straight at me,"art thou his servant?
55966	How came he there?
55966	How can I doubt it, and how could I help loving him, when he was suffered to be all the world to me in days of yore?
55966	How can men flock to the standard of a Duke, when there is a King upon the throne?
55966	How could I help trusting in him as the rightful King, when his touch had made me whole, as only the touch of a true King''s hand could do?
55966	How many did ye slay?
55966	How may that be, if our gracious King be not victorious?"
55966	How old is he?"
55966	How shall I speak of the horrors of that day?
55966	How was I to get him all those long miles back to Bridgewater?
55966	How will the day turn?
55966	I love not black King James, and I know we may suffer under his sway; but how do we know that we should do better under another?
55966	I prithee what be the truth of it, Master Simpson?"
55966	I wonder which is the truth?
55966	If in the land of the living, why does he give no sign?
55966	In a low whisper one of them said to the other,--"Was ever love so true and beautiful?
55966	Is it a retreat, or but a piece of strategy?
55966	Is it like that upon such a day she would be more backward than others?"
55966	Is it not Lord Lonsdale who is guardian to Mistress Mary Mead?"
55966	Is this how thou dost cater for true news for him?
55966	Is this how thou dost prudently wait the issue of events ere thou dost declare for one side or the other?"
55966	Knowest thou not yet how deep is the devotion of thy poor servant and humble suitor?"
55966	May I go with you?"
55966	Mistress Mary, when she heard, looked at her lover with one of her radiant glances, and said,--"Is it not like that sifting of Gideon''s little band?
55966	My heart bounded with joy when I heard that Ilminster was to be the place of Mistress Mary''s residence; for was not my lord there?
55966	Nevertheless I had not betrayed myself, and I had not enlisted as a soldier; for who would enlist a hunchbacked lad like me?
55966	Nothing could be seen of his face at such an hour; but what if the cunning foe had divined our plan, and insisted on looking beneath?
55966	Oh, had this plan failed?
55966	Only one?
55966	Say, good Dicon, dost thou see light now?"
55966	Say, sweet mistress, hast thou no kind word for me?
55966	Shall I fear to share anything with thee?
55966	Shall not Taunton be restored to her former glories?
55966	Shall the murderer of Dare go free?
55966	Shall we see the fight when the foe is before us?"
55966	She came weeping, and kneeling down beside his bed she prayed,--"Reginald, canst thou forgive me?"
55966	So they made him remember Will Wiseman, did they?
55966	So thou art nephew to good Master Snowe, Will tells me; and hast been touched for King''s Evil by our gracious Duke?
55966	Tell me truly, boy, hast thou seen aught of my son?
55966	Tell me, Dicon, hast thou seen him?
55966	Tell me, boy, what news dost thou bring?
55966	The battle was lost; the Duke was fled; and now what lay before those who had embraced his cause?
55966	There was something so bright and friendly in his smile as he did so that I found courage to say,"Are you going somewhere?
55966	Thinkest thou that I fear any peril that thou too dost share?
55966	Thou knowest my ward, Mary Mead, one of the sweetest maidens that ever walked this earth?
55966	Thou lovest me, I know well, and methinks that thou dost love my gentle lady too?"
55966	Thou sayest thou art nephew to Master Snowe of the Three Cups?
55966	Uncle, may I take him with me to Taunton?
55966	Was all this tumult part of a horrid dream?
55966	Was it not in Taunton that he had received such royal honours, and such help in money and men?
55966	Was it not in Taunton that the Duke had been proclaimed King?
55966	Was it wonderful that such words as these raised our enthusiasm and joy to the greatest height?
55966	Was this cry raised spontaneously at this point, or had it been begun by some person for the sake of effect?
55966	We had heard enough of his ferocity and brutality before now; what would it be like when we were forced to drink to the dregs the cup of his wrath?
55966	We rode some miles almost in silence, and as we were returning Mistress Mary said,"Dost understand, Dicon?"
55966	Were not many of his leading officers Taunton men?
55966	What am I to judge betwixt prince and prince?
55966	What are we to do for her next, Dicon?
55966	What can the citizens do when the iron hand of the army is at their throat?
55966	What could I say?
55966	What could heart of man wish more?
55966	What do you say, fellow- townsmen?
55966	What does the wise man say?
55966	What dost thou know of it, good fellow?"
55966	What followed when Cromwell was ruler though not called King?
55966	What has brought him hither again?
55966	What has come to thee, lad?"
55966	What has happened?
55966	What have you come for, boys?
55966	What is it that he wants of me?"
55966	What is the evil black tyrant James to me that I waste in his cause my youth and my strength, and lose the lady of my choice?
55966	What is your errand here?
55966	What matters it so that we be always together?"
55966	What must I do when there be so many things against it, and it will hurt him so with his father if I let him have his way?"
55966	What must I say?
55966	What will not days do, and when all the country side knows that he is here at last?"
55966	When will the black box be opened and the truth anent him be brought to light?"
55966	Whence dost thou get such wisdom at thy years?"
55966	Where are many of the noble buildings and commodious houses which once adorned the Eastreech and East Street?
55966	Where are our stately walls that once held at bay the thousands of a false King''s troops?
55966	Where are the Wiltshire horse of which we have heard?
55966	Where are the rest?
55966	Where can we carry him, so that he shall be well tended whilst he lies helpless and sick?"
55966	Where did he learn it all?"
55966	Where dost thou hail from, boy, and what news dost thou bring of the temper of the country?"
55966	Where is he?
55966	Where is the Duke?"
55966	Where was I?
55966	Which Duke will be England''s King?
55966	Who art thou?
55966	Who cares for danger where plunder is to be had?
55966	Who cares if the soldiers do fire the city?
55966	Who had drawn up that Declaration?
55966	Why are they bringing him back?"
55966	Why did I wait and watch?
55966	Why didst thou not tell me how thine heart was bound up in that maid?"
55966	Why need our hearts quake or feel fear?
55966	Will he be King after his father?
55966	Wilt come with me?"
55966	Wilt thou at least take this charge from me, and seek to fulfil it by every means in thy power?"
55966	Wilt thou help me in this, good Dicon?"
55966	Yet she found time to come up to me and ask in a whisper,--"Has_ he_ come in to- day?"
55966	You would not have forbidden her union with your son had things turned out differently with both?"
55966	You would not, gallant sir, strive to deter us from taking our small share in this noble struggle?"
55966	_ FATAL SEDGEMOOR._ Was I alive or dead, sleeping or waking?
55966	_ TERRIBLE DAYS._ How is it possible for me to make any understand the unspeakable horror of the days that followed?
55966	_ THE JUDGE''S SENTENCES._ And what then was our plan?
55966	and how dared he sit beside Mistress Mary as though it were his right, and keep his evil eyes so constantly upon her face as he was doing now?
55966	and how goes it with him?
55966	and if he were there and the good Bishop too, what might not happen to bring all things to a happy conclusion?
55966	and what meant all that noise of crying and shouting, groaning and shrieking, which assailed my ears?
55966	and what was he doing?"
55966	and wherefore has he come?
55966	and wilt thou be true to me if I tell thee more perhaps of myself than any man knoweth as yet?"
55966	art sure of it?
55966	asked one; whereupon the Sheriff answered by a rough question,--"Will you pray for the King?"
55966	canst thou keep a secret?
55966	dost know where the Duke of Monmouth-- the King-- is to be seen?"
55966	is he dead?"
55966	is not that the sound of arms?
55966	not misfortune?
55966	or was I in the midst of unknown and undreamed of horrors?
55966	she cried, clasping her hands over the pony''s neck;"but how may that be accomplished?"
55966	she said softly; and then after a pause for thought she added,"Dicon, wilt do as I say?"
55966	what did he do?"
55966	what does he?
55966	what does it mean?"
55966	what had happened?
55966	what will Mistress Mary say?
55966	where was my lord?
37330	A what?
37330	And do you enjoy yourself at a show?
37330	And now, then, what do you think made Jeannie such a bright, loving, and intelligent animal? 37330 And now,"said my wife,"what about the story?"
37330	And what is a dog- show like?
37330	And would n''t you like to have a nice long coat like mine?
37330	And you''re a great beauty, Bit- o''-Fun,I said;"but are n''t your legs rather long for your body?"
37330	But supposing,I asked,"you took no prize?"
37330	But supposing?
37330	But was n''t he a happy dog when he got me up and out again? 37330 But why,"said I,"did n''t you tell him to put his nasty old basket on his back and take it off with him?"
37330	But wo n''t you be tired, dear?
37330	But would it be believed that this boy, this London boy, did n''t know where chickens came from? 37330 By the way, did ever you hear of, or read the account of, poor young Gough and his dog?
37330	Ca n''t you kill it, sir? 37330 Dawson,"I said,"what have you done with her?"
37330	Did I ever know what it was to be hungry? 37330 Did ever I see such a parcel of numskulls?"
37330	Did you commence the study of natural history at an early age, Gordon?
37330	Do I come of a high family, now?
37330	Do I think that Master Nero knows we are talking about him? 37330 Do n''t you think, dear, that Ida had better go in?"
37330	Do they give you beef- steak for prizes, then?
37330	Do you know,I replied,"that the starling is the best of all talking pets?
37330	Doctor,he would commence,"_ is_ it, is it a nate Irish pet?"
37330	Eh? 37330 Eh?"
37330	Eh?
37330	Fun and romps did I say, Aileen? 37330 How about the dewy freshness?"
37330	I have often heard you speak of your dog Tyro, Gordon,said Frank;"ca n''t you tell us his history?"
37330	I thought you said a while ago I was a high- bred mongrel?
37330	Is it a thremendeous big brute''av a black dog you''ve come to meet, sorr?
37330	Is it likely I would be singing so blithely if there were?
37330	Is that possible?
37330	Is that something very nice?
37330	Is that the reason,asked Ida,"why you sometimes say eight o''clock to him when you want him to go and lie down?"
37330	Is the bird alive then?
37330	Is the extra glass for yourself or for me?
37330	Is what, Dick?
37330	Is,he would repeat--"Is the darling starling a pretty pet?"
37330	Is?
37330	Need I tell of the grief of that dog''s master? 37330 Not seeing me make any purchase, Nero had evidently said to himself--`Why, nothing to carry?
37330	Now tell me this, what do they mean by judging by points?
37330	Object?
37330	Old dog, you are dead-- we must all of us die-- You are gone, and gone whither? 37330 Poor master loves me very much, and I love master too; But if anything came over me, whatever_ could_ he do?
37330	Pray how many prizes have you taken?
37330	Pretty fellow you are, ai n''t ye?
37330	Some one, more seriously and thoughtfully:` No; but would n''t you like to be a farmer?'' 37330 Steward,"I cried, as we were just under weigh,"did a boy bring a white pigeon for me?"
37330	Stuffed, is n''t it?
37330	Tell you a few? 37330 That is quite a child''s story, is n''t it?"
37330	There, you know what I mean, do n''t you, when I fondle your ear, and smooth it and spread it over my note- book? 37330 They are difficult to rear, are they not?"
37330	To be sure, you blockhead,said I;"how can I make feather- flowers from a live pigeon?"
37330	Used to you?
37330	Was Eenie pretty, did you ask? 37330 We will,"said Frank;"wo n''t we, Ida?"
37330	Well, Dickie, what is it now?
37330	Well, my love?
37330	Well, puss,says Man,"and what can you To benefit the public do?"
37330	Were you never afraid of losing poor Nero?
37330	What breed do you think I am?
37330	What did you do?
37330	What do you think they are saying?
37330	What had it been doing? 37330 What is it now?"
37330	What is it, then, my dear?
37330	What is it? 37330 What is it?"
37330	What is that you are writing?
37330	What say you, then, to the Highlands?
37330	What says Tupper about Sandy, birdie? 37330 What was Jeannie like, did you ask?
37330	What,he wanted to know,"did she mean by going on shore without leave?"
37330	What?
37330	What_ are_ you going to do?
37330	Whatever is it, Tip?
37330	Who is your fat friend?
37330	Whom is it from, I wonder, Ida,I said;"so late in the evening, too?"
37330	Why do I not come and romp and play? 37330 Why is it we all love the robin so?
37330	Why should that be so, I wonder?
37330	Why?
37330	Wo n''t you tell us something,said Ida,"about the blackbird and thrush?
37330	Wo n''t_ you_ take me out of here?
37330	Would a human friend have been as careful? 37330 Would you like to try him?"
37330	Yes,I replied;"but do n''t you like it?"
37330	You always seem to be well and happy, Nero,I said to him one day;"how do you manage it?"
37330	You do n''t love that dog, mouse?
37330	_ Is_,he asked one day,"the darling doctor a rascal?"
37330	_ What_ is it? 37330 ` Am I?''
37330	` And please, my lord,''continued Peggy,` may-- may--''` Well?
37330	` Are n''t we having a splendid time, master?'' 37330 ` But,''you will say,` is"Fredabel"Spanish too, because I never heard of such a name before?''
37330	` Did n''t I take a cup at the Crystal Palace?'' 37330 ` Do you take me for a dog?''
37330	` How ever shall I manage?'' 37330 ` I did n''t stop long,_ did_ I, master?''
37330	` I suppose,''he seemed to say,` you wo n''t object to a little music, will you?'' 37330 ` Intrude?
37330	` Objection to your dog on board?'' 37330 ` Please, my lord,''said Peggy, modestly,` may I have a divorce?''
37330	` Send him away?'' 37330 ` That fright your father?''
37330	` They wo n''t bite or anything, will they?'' 37330 ` What shall it be-- Dibdin?''
37330	` What''s the correct way to eat it?'' 37330 ` Where is Potassium Pompey?''
37330	` Where is Potassium Pompey?'' 37330 ` Where is me chee-- ild?''
37330	` Who is afraid?'' 37330 ` Who is there?''
37330	` Will you indeed?'' 37330 ` Will you turn him out and send him away?''
37330	` Wo n''t he be a bit tough?'' 37330 ` You ugly, deformed little thing,''I cried,` what do you want in my lady''s room?''
37330	` You''re after the fruit, are n''t you?'' 37330 A fellow does want to go on the tiles now and then, does n''t he? 37330 A lament for brighter skies born of memories of glad Italy? 37330 Affianced? 37330 Afraid of thieves? 37330 Aileen''s master(_ speaks_):And so you have come and laid yourself down beside me, Aileen, and left your playmates every one?
37330	Aileen, Nero, Bob, Gipsy, Eily, Broom, Gael, Coronach?
37330	Am I not perfection itself?''
37330	And I do wonder why people do n''t keep them more often than they do?"
37330	And every day when I went down to see him Annie would innocently ask me--"See any odds on him this morning, doctor?"
37330	And the question comes to be, what shall I do with the body?
37330	And were n''t the big lemon- tinted gooseberries bearing the bushes groundwards with the weight of their sweetness, and praying to be pulled?
37330	And were n''t there trees laden with crimson and yellow raspberries?
37330	And what do you think my mistress did?
37330	Answering each other all the livelong night, bursting into song at intervals all the day, when, we wondered, did they sleep?
37330	But where or whither?
37330	But whither wilt thou go?
37330	But wo n''t we have a day of it, just?"
37330	But, doctor, what''s the good of my objecting?
37330	Call me Mirram, please, wo n''t you?''
37330	Can any one say?
37330	Can you fight?
37330	Come on, dogs; where are you all?
37330	Could any one ever be half so kind or careful of me as she is?
37330	Could that wild, attenuated image in the mirror be my reflection?
37330	Dead?
37330	Derogatory, is it?
37330	Dickie would say, and continue,"Doctor, will you go a- clinking?"
37330	Did I actually make use of those words?
37330	Did ever dogs deserve supper more?
37330	Did n''t you?"
37330	Did the reader ever hear of the sailor who tamed a cockroach?
37330	Did they take it in turns to make night and day melodious, keeping watches like the sailors at sea?
37330	Do n''t you feel all over joyful?
37330	Do n''t you think so, birdie?"
37330	Do parrots know what they say?
37330	Do you think now, Bit- o''-Fun, I would have any chance?"
37330	Do you understand?"
37330	Does she ever forget to give me milk of a morning or to share with me her own dinner and tea?
37330	Does she not always have my saucer filled with the purest, freshest water?
37330	Eh?''
37330	Eh?''
37330	Funny, was n''t it?
37330	Got on shore, have you?
37330	Have n''t you taught me to look upon the flowers as living things?
37330	He looked up anxiously in my face, as much as to say,` Do you think the poor thing can live?''
37330	He would trot into a kitchen with a friendly wag or two of his little tail, which said, plainly enough,"Is n''t it wet, though?"
37330	How beautiful is night?"
37330	How dared you, when you knew I was coming home to supper, and there was n''t a morsel in the larder?''
37330	How ever should I be able to face my mistress again?
37330	How goes it this morning, master?"
37330	I cried, getting up to greet him,"what wind blew you all the way here?"
37330	I daresay you think yourself a pretty fellow now?
37330	I exclaimed,` what can have sent you out of the house so early?
37330	I exclaimed;"from that impudent bird?
37330	I often come to the door of my garden study and say to myself,"Where can the bird be to- night?"
37330	I would steal myself if I were used like that, would n''t you, madam?
37330	I''m only two years old and little over, and is n''t a second prize at a Crystal Palace show a great honour for a youngster like myself?''
37330	I''m talking Greek again, am I?
37330	I''ve a very good mind to--""To what, Master Bill?"
37330	If two people were talking together underneath his cage, he would cock his head, lengthen his neck, and looking down quizzingly, say:"Eh?
37330	Intellect?
37330	Is it any wonder, then, that I soon turned as reckless as any of them?
37330	Is it not cruelty on my part, you may inquire, to counsel the robbery of a rook''s nest?
37330	Is it of that he is so proud?
37330	Is that thy lesson in the limes?"
37330	Is this better?
37330	It was very amusing to see how Dick jumped, and his look of astonishment as he said:"Eh?
37330	Joy, did I say?
37330	Keeping the master company, eh?
37330	Let me see, what shall I do?
37330	Might it not have been more merciful to have done so?
37330	My niece put her soft little hand in mine, as she said--"You have n''t forgotten the manuscript, have you?"
37330	Need I speak of the sorrow of the villagers?
37330	Nice evening, is n''t it?"
37330	No, you would n''t mind the heat; were n''t there strawberries as large as eggs and as cold as ice?
37330	No?
37330	Now is n''t Don Pedro a dear, good fellow?
37330	Now is the time to start up, and batter the bulkheads with your slipper; you are sure of half an hour''s good sport; but what then?
37330	Now, did you ever see such beautiful eggs?"
37330	Out for a_ walk_ did I say?
37330	Poor Grey, did we say?
37330	Privacy?
37330	So it was you who loved my silly wife?''
37330	So the question came to be asked--"Maggie, dear, what_ shall_ we do with Pepsy?"
37330	So without looking up I said--"By the way, birdie, did ever I tell you Nero''s story?"
37330	Steward,"I continued,"your fingers ai n''t itching, are they, to kill that lovely creature?"
37330	Tell you the story?
37330	The author:"Yes, puss; did n''t you order me to write you a tale with tiny, tiny, tiny people in it?
37330	The conversation between them seemed to be something like the following--"_ Nero_:` You''re drowning, are n''t you?
37330	The lifeboat, sir?
37330	Then, if I did n''t answer--"_ Is_ it sugar-- snails-- sugar, snails, and brandy?"
37330	This is all Greek to you, is it?
37330	Try to bite, would you?
37330	Vixen, did I say?
37330	Was he an artist?
37330	Welcome?
37330	Were they not pets of your boyhood?"
37330	Wha''ll gie an auld sang for him?
37330	What are those slow and mournful notes ringing out from the grove in the stillness of night?
37330	What breed is he?
37330	What can he know?''
37330	What can you want with a muffler?
37330	What do we speak about?
37330	What do ye come pottering around here at midnight for?"
37330	What do you think of that for architecture?
37330	What do you think of yourself, eh?
37330	What more could I wish?"
37330	What sweet little voice is that repeating the same soft song over and over again, and dwelling on the last syllable with long- drawn cadence?
37330	What was up, I wondered?
37330	What would you think of my honest dog there if he told you the electric telegraph was an impossibility, simply because_ he_ could n''t understand it?
37330	What_ is_ it, eh?"
37330	What_ is_ it?"
37330	Whatever have you been telling that little fool of a Fiddler?"
37330	Whatever is up with you to- day that you are barred and bolted like this?
37330	Where could he be, what would become of him, my only friend, my gentle, loving, noble dog, the only creature that cared for me?
37330	Where were we seated?
37330	Where, they wondered, did he come from?
37330	Who indeed?
37330	Who ran through the yard yesterday and scared the senses out of half my harem?
37330	Who would leave the glorious land?"
37330	Whoever will sing?''
37330	Why did n''t he give his name, and tell his story?
37330	Why do n''t you speak?"
37330	Why does the swallow sing in so low a voice?
37330	Why have you changed your mind?"
37330	Will that do?
37330	Would n''t you wag a tail if you had one?
37330	Would you like to know what her name was?
37330	Ye''ll no be waur than me?"
37330	You know those circular sweeping- machines with which they clean the mud off the country roads?
37330	You''re Nero, are n''t you?''
37330	_ Ca n''t_ you leave a poor fellow alone?
37330	_ What_ d''ye say?
37330	_ What_ d''ye say?"
37330	_ What_ do you say?"
37330	_ What_ is it?
37330	_ you''re_ there, are you?"
37330	` Could n''t you,''the dog would seem to ask--`couldn''t you get on your coat a little-- oh,_ ever_ so little-- faster?
37330	` Give me back me chee-- ild?''
37330	` No, dear; you would n''t, would you, if you thought he was weary, hungry, and in sorrow for his lost mistress?
37330	` Will you indeed?''
37330	and do n''t I feel them to be so when I stoop to kiss the roses?
37330	and does she forget that I need a comfortable bed at night?
37330	and repeat the last note once or twice, as much as to say:"What comes after that?"
37330	but,"I reply,"I feel sure there is, else why are you dressed so gaily?
37330	cried Mr Polypus, fairly aghast with astonishment;` does-- she-- actually-- dare-- to-- defy me?''
37330	cried another; and--"` To be sure, where is Potassium Pompey?''
37330	dogs in a garden?''
37330	he continued, talking to the little dog himself,"who let you out like that?"
37330	he said,"what''s that?"
37330	he seems to say,"nor you, nor you?
37330	he would cry,` do n''t I look lovely, and do n''t you look dowdy beside_ me_?
37330	he would say, talking with eyes and tail,"you''re here, are you, old girl?
37330	is it because of that that there comes ever and anon in his short and simple song a kind of half- hysterical note of joy?
37330	it''s chained ye are, is it?
37330	left your playmates roaming about among the trees, while you stay here by me?
37330	my Peggy, my loved, my lost, my half- digested Peggy, shall we never meet again?''
37330	please, Peterie,''said poor little Mrs Polypus, beginning to cry,` I really did n''t mean to; but I was_ so_ hungry, and--''"` Hungry?''
37330	roared the husband;` how dared you to be hungry?--how dared you be anything at all, in fact?
37330	robin would say;"do you know you''re wanted?"
37330	said Hurricane Robert,` you''ve come to raise the rent, have ye?
37330	said Jack--"an evil spirit?"
37330	said Pompey;` and does she agree any better with you now?''
37330	she cried;"you''re never out of mischief; did Tip bite you?"
37330	sighed Peggy, and--"` When shall we we d?''
37330	well?''
37330	what is that?
37330	what trickery is this?
37330	what was I born for?
37330	whatever shall I do?''
37330	where is Potassium Pompey?''
37330	why have you cast aside your sombre hues and donned that crimson vest?"
37330	with strong emphasis on the`_ aik_,''and which in English means,` How dare you stand and stare at_ me_?''
37330	wo n''t you be sorry to descend your bean- stalk and re- enter Sheerness once again?
37330	you''re there, are you?"
11556	A madman, sir? 11556 A submarine boat?"
11556	All right, Spade?
11556	And Thomas Roch?
11556	And has Thomas Roch also sold you the secret of his deflagrator?
11556	And who are the persons who have thus disappeared from Healthful House?
11556	At what depth are we now?
11556	Both of them?
11556	But are you not afraid he may give his secret away?
11556	But if Ker Karraje''s secrets are known, do you suppose the powers are not also aware of the existence of the Count d''Artigas''submarine boat?
11556	But what about our expeditions at sea?
11556	But will there not be a great and ever- impending danger in accumulating large quantities of it? 11556 But,"asked the Count,"is Thomas Roch never left alone?"
11556	By the entrance gate?
11556	By what right, sir?
11556	Could n''t he at least pay some attention to us?
11556	Could n''t you, Gaydon, get him to talk about his fulgurator?
11556	Do these fits to which Thomas Roch is subject last long?
11556	Does n''t anybody know about it up at Healthful House? 11556 Gaydon,"demanded the director,"where is Thomas Roch?"
11556	Has Back Cup been attacked?
11556	Has Thomas Roch,I ask,"made you acquainted with the composition of his explosive?"
11556	Has it no bolts?
11556	Has the schooner excited suspicion, and been chased to the entrance to the passes? 11556 Have you no idea as to their nationality?"
11556	Healthful House, where I was sequestrated after Warder Gaydon had been entrusted with the mission of spying upon me in order to rob me of my secret? 11556 How are you going to open it?"
11556	How much will you give me for it-- how much?
11556	How much-- how much?
11556	I am Warder Gaydon, the attendant of Thomas Roch,I continue,"and I want to know why you have carried me off and placed me on board this schooner?"
11556	I understand from your remark that I shall be furnished with the means of returning to America when I want to go?
11556	Is anybody about?
11556	Is he then absolutely mad?
11556	Is her voyage one of business or pleasure?
11556	Is it possible?
11556	Ker Karraje is not here, then?
11556	Kidnap us?
11556	May I ask,I continue,"how you came to find out that Gaydon, the warder, was Simon Hart, the engineer?"
11556	My deflagrator?
11556	My invention?
11556	My opinion, Mr. Serko? 11556 My work?"
11556	Notwithstanding Thomas Roch''s mental condition?
11556	Of what use are these millions to him if he is not allowed to enjoy them outside?
11556	Of what use could it be to us, Serko?
11556	One word, Lieutenant Davon, how did you penetrate to the interior of Back Cup?
11556	Shall I be permitted to roam about wherever I please?
11556	Shall I weigh anchor?
11556	The tug?
11556	Thomas Roch, would you dare to fire upon your country''s flag-- the tricolor flag?
11556	Thomas Roch?
11556	Through the wall of the cavern?
11556	Vengeance?--against whom?
11556	Well, Mr. Simon Hart,he says,"are you getting accustomed to your tranquil existence?
11556	Well, and what then?
11556	What I think about it? 11556 What chord?"
11556	What do you want to say to me, Simon Hart?
11556	What has that to do with us?
11556	What is her name?
11556	What is his nationality?
11556	What is that?
11556	What is the use when no one is near to hear you?
11556	What is to be done?
11556	What is your opinion about it?
11556	What is your opinion?
11556	What others?
11556	What then? 11556 When one is caught in a trap----""One can cry out, I suppose?"
11556	Where is the captain?
11556	Where is the_ Sword_, Lieutenant?
11556	Where?
11556	Who are you, then?
11556	Who was it then, may I ask?
11556	Why so?
11556	Why, those men who threw themselves upon Thomas Roch and me, who gagged, bound, and carried us off and shut us up, I know not where?
11556	Why?
11556	Will she be gone long?
11556	Yes, but on this side there is the wall, and if you succeed in climbing it, how are you going to get over it again with Thomas Roch? 11556 Yes, how did you know?"
11556	You are perfectly sure about it?
11556	You claim that three men threw themselves upon you?
11556	You know who I am?
11556	You refer to Thomas Roch, I presume, Count?
11556	You, of course, sir, have no intention of refusing me permission to go over your schooner?
11556	You?
11556	17 was situated, he said:"You managed, I presume, to thoroughly explore the place, and are acquainted with every detail of it?"
11556	A Spaniard?
11556	A volcano in these parts?
11556	Already thinking of leaving us, Mr. Gaydon,--of returning to your dismal pavilion at Healthful House?
11556	Am I in condition to reply to the questions that Engineer Serko is dying to put to me?
11556	Am I not imprisoned in the hold of a ship under way?
11556	Am I not in the power of an evildoer anxious to ensure impunity for his crimes and to defy the law by seeking refuge in this undiscoverable burrow?
11556	Am I not meant to understand from this that I must give up all hope of ever recovering my liberty?
11556	Am I the dupe of an illusion?
11556	And Thomas Roch, what has become of him?
11556	And might not this bottle by chance-- an ultra- providential chance, I must avow-- be picked up by a ship passing near Back Cup?
11556	And now, Mr. Hart, where is Ker Karraje''s tug?"
11556	And that Count d''Artigas, with his Spanish name and Asiatic type, where does he come from?
11556	And then what does he care whether the brigand''s name is Count''d''Artigas or Ker Karraje?
11556	And then, why does the_ Ebba_ have recourse to this submarine towing system?
11556	And was it reasonable, was it permissible, to suppose for an instant that he had been carried off for the benefit of a private individual?
11556	And who knows but what one day, he will try the experiment?
11556	And who knows but what, in my new position, I may finally discover the secret of Roth''s fulgurator?
11556	And why should I not succeed now that Ker Karraje, Engineer Serko, Captain Spade, and the pirates have taken their posts outside?
11556	And yet, without the intervention of Providence, what hope is there for me?
11556	And, in the first place, am I alone?
11556	Are the crew engaged in loading or unloading merchandise?
11556	Are they going to drop me overboard to drown like a rat, so as to get rid of a dangerous witness?
11556	Are they going to let me out at last?
11556	Are they going to put me back in my dark prison at the bottom of the hold?
11556	Are they safe and sound like us-- for I suppose that Thomas Roch has also survived?
11556	Are we not going to leave this island, which appears to be isolated, to the west?
11556	Are you not Simon Hart?"
11556	Are you not more closely confined within the walls of this cavern than you ever were at Healthful House?"
11556	Besides, how could the vessel have reached the open sea?
11556	Besides, what am I to the men who have carried us off?
11556	But after all, what does it matter?
11556	But does the compartment in which I am confined, really belong to a ship?
11556	But has this inventor entirely lost the use of his intellectual faculties?"
11556	But how can she escape them since they will swoop back upon her?
11556	But if the door was locked, how were they going to get in?
11556	But if they have not condemned me to die of thirst, neither have they condemned me to die of hunger, I suppose?
11556	But of what use is this knowledge to me?
11556	But what I should like to know is, has he acted as the agent of a foreign power, or on his own account?
11556	But what about the sailing ship that was to port of us?
11556	But what is it?
11556	But what is this-- and how on earth could I have failed to notice it before?
11556	But what were those reasons?
11556	But where is Thomas Roch?
11556	But where is it generated?
11556	But whither are my thoughts wandering?
11556	But who is this Count d''Artigas?
11556	But who were the kidnappers?
11556	But why do they submit to such an existence?
11556	But why should Thomas Roch be landed again?
11556	But will the vessels sighted continue on their course in this direction?
11556	But with what object?
11556	CHAPTER V. WHERE AM I?
11556	Can I hesitate at a murder that will bring about the chastisement of so many crimes?
11556	Can he be in the throes of a fresh paroxysm?
11556	Can there be room for doubt that it was Thomas Roch?
11556	Come now, have I made a mistake?
11556	Continuing my walk I perceive on the northern side of the lagoon the habitations of this colony of troglodytes-- do they not merit the appellation?
11556	Could any circumstance occur to counteract it-- to"exteriorize"him, as it were?
11556	Could any plausible hypothesis be deducted from the type presented by Count d''Artigas?
11556	Days?
11556	Did she then not make straight for the American coast?
11556	Did they realize that I was trying to discover by what means the schooner was propelled?
11556	Did those brave Englishmen perish in the collision?
11556	Do they never leave their rocky retreat?
11556	Do you appreciate at their just merit the advantages of this enchanted grotto?
11556	Do you imagine you are free, Thomas Roch?
11556	Do you know what were their intentions in entering the cavern?"
11556	Do you know where Thomas Roch is?"
11556	Do you, may I ask, refer to the Frenchman, Thomas Roch?"
11556	Does he imagine that Warder Gaydon ever heard of Trophonius?
11556	Does he insist upon preparing the explosive in secret and does he intend to keep the formula thereof to himself?
11556	Does he perceive the change in his situation?
11556	Does he realize the inanity of the hypothesis I try to pass off on him?
11556	Does he scour the seas with him, sharing the enviable life enjoyed by the rich yachtsman?
11556	Does he think I know more than I will say?
11556	Does he think of speaking to one or other of these men, and if they speak to him will he be more reasonable than he was with me, and reply to them?
11556	Does he wish to profit alone by Thomas Roch''s invention, and is he in the position to dispose of it profitably?
11556	Does it really possess the destructive power that the inventor attributes to it?
11556	Frenchman, would you be so criminal as to strike it?"
11556	Gaydon, it is you, is it?"
11556	Gaydon?"
11556	Had he abandoned the Pacific for other seas?
11556	Had it been voluntarily caused by the pirates when they realized that escape was impossible?
11556	Had this enigmatical personage then come solely for the purpose of visiting Healthful House?
11556	Hart?"
11556	Has anybody been in here?
11556	Has he already forgotten about Healthful House, the pavilion in which he was a prisoner, and Gaydon, his keeper?
11556	Has he any idea of the value of money?
11556	Has he been banished, is he an outcast of society that he should have selected this place above all others?
11556	Has he been killed by one of the projectiles?
11556	Has he not obtained what he has so long sought for?
11556	Has it ever been tried?
11556	Has she been delayed by a buccaneering cruise in the neighborhood of Back Cup?
11556	Has she reached her destination?
11556	Has the door been opened?
11556	Have Americans, English, French, Germans, and Russians reason to fear that an attack in force against the island would be doomed to failure?"
11556	Have boats come alongside?
11556	Have the English, desirous of avenging the destruction of the_ Sword_, alone undertaken the expedition?
11556	Have they missed it?
11556	Have they set out on a piracy expedition?
11556	Have you given up all hope of recovering your liberty some day or other?"
11556	He raises his head, shakes it nervously, and with a disdainful gesture:"What do you mean by''your country?''
11556	He stops, with laughing eyes and mocking mouth, and accompanies a"Good day, how do you do?"
11556	How comes it that he knew that a French engineer was performing the duties of attendant to Thomas Roch?
11556	How could a frail craft like the_ Sword_ defend itself against the attacks of Ker Karraje''s powerful machine?
11556	How could he get all this money except from Ker Karraje, and as the price of his secret?
11556	How did this man manage to find out what I was able to keep from the staff of Healthful House?
11556	How do I know that I am afloat on the Neuse, though I was conveyed a short distance in a boat?
11556	How have I survived it?
11556	How is it that Pamlico Sound is so extraordinarily calm?
11556	How is it that my heart is not broken?
11556	How is this schooner moving?
11556	How long have I been asleep?
11556	How much longer will this incarceration last?
11556	How was it then that he manifested such extraordinary unconcern?
11556	How will this adventure end?
11556	I am anxious for the passage to be made, for who knows but what it may be the way to freedom for me?
11556	I continually revert to this question, hoping that some incident will occur to enlighten me: Where am I?
11556	I question whether there is any other issue than the tunnel, and how on earth could I get through that?
11556	I walk up to one of the sailors and inquire:"What is the name of this ship?"
11556	I, however, go on:"Thomas Roch, do you remember Healthful House?"
11556	If he has seized Thomas Roch, is it not because he is determined to secure the secret of the fulgurator at no matter what cost?
11556	If, as I suspect, this name of d''Artigas and this title of Count are assumed, what motive has he for hiding his identity?
11556	In the latter place the cisterns have to supply the needs of over ten thousand people, this one of a hundred-- what?
11556	In the present state of his mind may he not be induced to disclose the composition of his fulgurator?
11556	In this case is it not possible that I was carried into the cellar of a house?
11556	In this event, how would you be able to provision the island?"
11556	Instead of crossing Pamlico Sound, may we not be going in the opposite direction, up the River Neuse?
11556	Is he a personal friend of the Count d''Artigas?
11556	Is he going to tell him what is passing, that a squadron is in view of Back Cup, and that his fulgurator will be employed to defend the island?
11556	Is he not at last able to carry out the plans he formed years and years ago?
11556	Is he not on board?
11556	Is he not the owner of these riches accumulated by twenty years of murder and rapine?
11556	Is it a big whale rising for air, and is the_ Ebba_ in danger of being shattered by a blow from the monster''s tail?
11556	Is it day?
11556	Is it known that Thomas Roch and his keeper are confined in Back Cup?
11556	Is it known that the abduction was effected in the interest of Ker Karraje?
11556	Is it night?
11556	Is it not folly to think of such a thing?
11556	Is it so?
11556	Is it the state of the sea that delays another campaign against Back Cup?
11556	Is not he, Thomas Roch, master of Back Cup?
11556	Is she a steam- yacht?
11556	Is she propelled by electricity-- by a battery of accumulators, or by piles of great power that work her screw and send her along at this rate?
11556	Is the danger over?
11556	Is the island being bombarded with a view to its destruction?
11556	Is the_ Ebba_ now free to proceed?"
11556	Is there a manufactory installed somewhere or other in this vast crypt, with machinery, dynamos and accumulators?
11556	Is there then a creek in the middle of the rocks where the vessel is secure from the breakers?
11556	Is this the port to which she belongs?
11556	Just who was this Count d''Artigas?
11556	Looking him straight in the face, I reply:"You know who I am, Thomas Roch, but do you know in whose place you are?"
11556	Mansion?
11556	May not cruisers of other nations be with them?
11556	May they not be merely passing on their way to Bermuda?
11556	May you not have purchased a composition as inert as a pinch of snuff?"
11556	Might not the discovery of the new engine be lost to America forever?
11556	Might not the latter, instead of heading for a ship in waiting for it, opposite Healthful House, have been rowed to a point further down the river?
11556	Might not the most serious consequences follow?
11556	Months?
11556	Once we are out at sea, what will they have to fear from me?
11556	Or perhaps the Count had been inspired by curiosity to meet Thomas Roch?
11556	Otherwise why should he have come to such a place?
11556	Serko?"
11556	Shall I be left here in this way till morning?
11556	Shall I ever be able to escape from Back Cup, denounce the false Count d''Artigas and rid the seas of Ker Karraje''s pirates?
11556	Shall I ever be able to get even with him?
11556	Shall I ever be afforded another chance?
11556	Sheer folly, and yet what other way is there of getting out of Back Cup?
11556	Sleep, when I am near the end of a situation that threatened to be prolonged for years and years?
11556	Sleep, when my brain is in a whirl of excitement?
11556	Then, abruptly, I go on:"If I am not mistaken, you have succeeded in inducing Thomas Roch to disclose the secret of his fulgurator?"
11556	Then, what kind of a machine is it that imparts such a marvellous speed to the vessel?
11556	They passed lines around the hull of the_ Sword_----""The_ Sword_?"
11556	To what nation do they belong?
11556	Trophonius after Pluto and Neptune?
11556	Twenty minutes later the dinghy returns with the four men towards the tug which was evidently waiting for them before proceeding-- where?
11556	Very true, but what if, instead of a bottle a diminutive, tightly closed keg were used?
11556	Was I passed through a porthole?
11556	Was anybody coming to my cell?
11556	Was it Count d''Artigas''intention to wait there till daybreak brought a breeze with it?
11556	Was it not dangerous to stay where they were after their daring raid?
11556	Was it not the door by which I was going to escape from my prison?
11556	Was not liberty awaiting me on the other side?
11556	Was she, then, specially privileged, and to be spared the bother of being searched?
11556	Was the Count d''Artigas considered too high and mighty a personage to be thus molested, and delayed even for an hour?
11556	Was the air renewed while I slept?
11556	We shall end by getting Roch''s thunderbolts entirely in our own hand, and then----""Are you sure, Serko?"
11556	Were Thomas Roch and Gaydon so safely hidden that their hiding- place could not possibly be discovered?
11556	Were these moral means applicable to the case of Thomas Roch?
11556	What are the islands or groups of islands to be found in the direction we are going, ere the continent of the Old World is reached?
11556	What can I reply to such insensate assertions?
11556	What can this compensation be?
11556	What could have inspired that Count d''Artigas with the unfortunate curiosity to visit Healthful House?
11556	What could he have procured with his piastres and bank- notes in the small markets of New- Berne?
11556	What did it all mean?
11556	What has been his past?
11556	What has happened since the sudden aggression of which I was the victim near the pavilion?
11556	What if that bottle contained a letter?
11556	What if the madman cries out-- what if he should resist-- what if his keeper gives the alarm?"
11556	What is the use of waxing wroth with this jester?
11556	What is this?
11556	What is to prevent me from knocking his brains out?
11556	What was the cause of the explosion?
11556	What were they going to do with me?
11556	What will the end be as far as I am personally concerned?
11556	What would they go further inland for?
11556	When Ker Karraje orders the latter to launch his engines against the ships will he remember what I told him?
11556	Where am I?
11556	Where am I?
11556	Where does he hail from?
11556	Where does it come from?
11556	Where had the band hidden themselves since they had ceased their depredations?
11556	Where?
11556	Where?
11556	Where?
11556	Who are they?
11556	Who in America would have any idea that the rich yachtsman so well known in all the eastern ports abides in the solitude of Back Cup mountain?
11556	Who in Bermuda imagines that a vessel is accustomed to lay up in this secret creek?
11556	Who knows but what I may receive more consideration than if I remain Warder Gaydon?
11556	Who knows what the future has in store for me?
11556	Who were they?"
11556	Why am I not permitted to cast one glance over the ocean towards the distant horizon of the Bermudas?
11556	Why had they thus abandoned the islet with the intention, as it pretty soon appeared, of never returning to it?
11556	Why has he severed himself from the world?
11556	Why has she stopped?
11556	Why is she not provided with her own means of propulsion, like other pleasure- boats?
11556	Why should I not attempt it, since no hope of being restored to liberty is held out to me?
11556	Why should he not have recovered his reason?
11556	Why should this warship cause a pleasure- yacht to turn out of its way?
11556	Why was Thomas Roch abducted from Healthful House in the manner already fully described?
11556	Why, therefore, should they have desired to kidnap a mere hospital attendant?
11556	Will he be able to resist the temptation if they offer him the exorbitant price that he demands?
11556	Will he refuse to obey?
11556	Will he succeed better than I did?
11556	Will not his crime appear to him in all its horror?
11556	Would it not be better to end in this way than to spend years and years amid these infernal and infamous surroundings?
11556	Would this pirate break out in a fresh place?
11556	Yes, why not dignify it with the title since this habitation has been arranged with a certain art?
11556	You remember me, of course?"
11556	why can I not go and breathe, if only for a single instant, the vivifying air outside?
20524	''Tain''t much uv a town arter all; is it?
20524	Ah, lad,turning to Noll,"my little gal w''u''d liked yer teaching, an''yer B''s an''A''s, eh?"
20524	Ah,he sighed,"why did I not try to follow after?"
20524	An''what be this?
20524	An''ye do n''t know nuthin''what it''s like?
20524	An''you''s come down to lib wid yer Uncle Dick?
20524	And what do you propose to do here?
20524	And you have been exposing yourself? 20524 And you''ll help me, too?"
20524	Are n''t you going to stop?
20524	Ay, an''his lad be where many o''your''n an''mine ha''been, eh, Dirk?
20524	Ay, mother,said Dirk,"an''it be time we had new habits to go with the new housen, eh?"
20524	Been sick down''ere; hev ye?
20524	Ben Tate?
20524	Ben, ye mean?
20524	Ben? 20524 Bress ye, honey, ye did n''t''spect to go back in de dark to Culm?"
20524	But I''ll not go to Wind Cliff?
20524	But have n''t you got a bundle of''em for me?
20524	But how is the carpenter to be paid for his labor, if this all goes for lumber?
20524	But will you try?
20524	But you are mine, now, not his,said Trafford; with something like displeasure in his tone;"are n''t you aware of it?"
20524	But, Uncle Richard--"Well?
20524	Ca n''t ye see the lad''s got all he ken weather?
20524	Call this a half- hour afore sunrise, squire?
20524	Can I see Dirk,--Dirk Sharp?
20524	Can you tell me where he left my trunks?
20524	Come at last, hev ye?
20524	D''ye see his eyes? 20524 Did he tell you aught of me?"
20524	Did n''t dis yer ole woman tell ye so? 20524 Did ye hear that, Jack?"
20524	Did ye want the skipper, lad?
20524	Do ye mean boxes like?
20524	Do you mean that papa did wrong?
20524	Do you really_ hope_ I''ll stay, Uncle Richard?
20524	Do you think I can forget it, Hagar? 20524 Do you think I can succeed?"
20524	Do you think I''m too small to take care of myself, Hagar?
20524	Don''ye t''ink so? 20524 Even if I thought it best?"
20524	For what?
20524	Goin''down to Culm for a bit o''vacation?--to git scarce o''the books, eh?
20524	Have ye foun''de Lord, Mas''r Dick?
20524	Have-- have you found the Lord Jesus, Uncle Richard?
20524	He has still some thoughts of returning?
20524	He''s weary of it already,he thought;"and who can wonder?
20524	How can he care for these dirty, dull- witted fellows that ca n''t spell their own names, when he is so smart and such a long, long way above them?
20524	How can you ask that? 20524 How can you love such a man as myself?
20524	How ken I tell?
20524	I asked you,said Trafford,"whether you would be willing to give up the school if another teacher took your place?"
20524	I thank you more than I can tell, Ben,said Noll, taking the skipper''s hand;"and have you taken your pay for the freight and all the trouble?"
20524	I was looking at the sea,said Noll;"and-- and-- what''s the matter, Dirk?"
20524	I wonder if Dirk has any little ones?
20524	I wonder if he will offer to teach me?
20524	I would-- if Uncle Richard had n''t forbidden,said Noll;"do you think you have any medicines that can help the child, Hagar?"
20524	Ill? 20524 In everything else, Uncle Richard,"he answered, with red cheeks and downcast eyes;"but this-- but this-- oh, how can you ask me to stop?
20524	In what way?
20524	Is n''t the fever raging there?
20524	Is n''t there some one on the Rock that can help, that knows something about medicine?
20524	Is that the house?
20524	It_ does_ seem pleasanter,Noll admitted;"and where''s Uncle Richard?"
20524	Mabby he ken tell what''tis ter be losin''his own, an''no help fur it, eh?
20524	Mas''r Dick? 20524 Mas''r Oliver dead?
20524	May you?
20524	No; how can you?
20524	No; how should I?
20524	Noll, did you wish to speak to me?
20524	Noll,said he after a long silence,"do you mean that you will not obey me?"
20524	Of course it is; who else should it be?
20524	Oh,thought Noll,"why was n''t I more careful?
20524	Papa? 20524 Sent here to break Uncle Richard''s heart?"
20524	Skipper, where''s my carpet- bag? 20524 Then you have not been harmed?"
20524	They ben''t glad to see each other, eh, Jack?
20524	Too late?
20524	Uncle Richard? 20524 Vacation?
20524	Was that what kept you so late? 20524 Well, I mus''say I did n''t think to find ye so?
20524	Well, I wonder if he thinks I came here for that purpose?
20524	Well, now what have you got in your head, I''d like to know?
20524	Well, that''s wuss''n bein''without letters, eh, lad?
20524	Well,said Trafford, after a long silence,"do you wish anything more, Noll?"
20524	Well?
20524	What about him?
20524	What about them?
20524	What be these?
20524	What be wantin''now, lads?
20524	What did he wish you to do and be?
20524	What do you think Hagar has told me about your work this winter? 20524 What is Dirk or his to you?"
20524	What is it?
20524	What is that?
20524	What were you there for?
20524	What ye waitin''fur? 20524 What''s happened, Mas''r Dick?"
20524	When did the skipper go?
20524	Where be the boxes, man?
20524	Where were you all the forenoon?
20524	Who would like to know how to read?
20524	Why are you so grave and sober of late?
20524	Why do n''t ye go''long''thout him?
20524	Why do n''t you teach''em yourself?
20524	Why do you stand here,he cried, furiously,"when they are perishing out there?
20524	Why go there till we go for the last time?
20524	Why not?
20524	Why not?
20524	Why not?
20524	Why wo n''t you try to hope?
20524	Why, Uncle Richard?
20524	Why, what do you mean?
20524	Will you forgive me, Uncle Richard? 20524 Will you go, or send something in the morning?"
20524	Will you obey me or not?
20524	Wonder ef Mas''r Dick misses him? 20524 Wonder what Mas''r Dick''s got on his heart dis yer night?"
20524	Would you like it now?
20524	Would you like to take the fever and be buried with the rest up there in the sand?
20524	Ye be fair an''white,said the old fish- wife, touching Noll''s cheek with her skinny finger,"an''what be ye here on the Rock fur?"
20524	Yes, if you mean Uncle Richard''s brother,said Noll, still very sad- hearted;"and was n''t he looking for me at all?"
20524	You do n''t mean that I''m not to go there any more?
20524	A deep silence followed, broken at last by another"Well?"
20524	A lighthouse?"
20524	A sudden suspicion came into Trafford''s mind, and turning his keen eyes upon Noll, he exclaimed,--"Can you explain this?"
20524	After getting the wondering assemblage seated in proper order, Noll began by asking,"Who wants to learn to read?"
20524	An'', lad, how goes it?"
20524	An''did Mas''r Dick know ye''s comin''?"
20524	An''what be all this fur?"
20524	An''what be the like o''them to you?"
20524	An''what ye goin''to do when the''Gull''stops cruisin''fur the season, an''ye ca n''t get a word frum the city?"
20524	An''you''s all alone now, chile?"
20524	And I?
20524	And are you putting on airs because you''ve got to be a pedagogue?
20524	And are you really going to hire some one to take my place?"
20524	And could he have the patience and skill which was necessary?
20524	And he?
20524	And how is it about books?"
20524	And hurry up and answer this letter by return steamer( what should we do if the old''Gull''went to the bottom?
20524	And if he did not?
20524	And now shall we talk about studies?"
20524	And oh, why do n''t_ you_ help those poor, dying people?
20524	And was he not already doing something?
20524	And what then?
20524	And what we want to know is whether you will do the business?"
20524	And when will you commence?"
20524	And where could a room for the school be found?
20524	And where was the leisure time to come from?
20524	And why should you spend all your money for them?"
20524	And why was I not consulted, if this was your work?"
20524	And will you hire a teacher for those Culm children?
20524	And would he go?
20524	And, Noll, wo n''t you tell me what these people are to you?
20524	And, if you please, will you go out to supper?
20524	And, when once in the charmed circle of old friends and associations, would he not dislike to return to gray and barren Culm Rock?
20524	And-- well, ca n''t you shake hands over it?
20524	Are you bound to be always in danger?"
20524	Are you crazy, Noll?"
20524	Are you determined to catch the fever?
20524	Are you ill, my boy?"
20524	Are you ready for them?"
20524	Are you tired with the journey?"
20524	At Noll''s summons, he came lounging out of an inner room, and, catching sight of the boy, said,--"Lookin''for yer trunks, lad?
20524	At last he said,"Do n''t you understand?"
20524	At last he said,"What would you say if I forbade you to continue your school through the winter?"
20524	At last,--"Is ye certain sure, Mas''r Dick?
20524	Be it evil, think ye?
20524	Be it frum Hastings, Mas''r Dick?"
20524	But do you think his sorrow lessened?
20524	But his voice and tone were as calm as ever when he said, a few minutes after,--"_ You_ did this?
20524	But how can I?
20524	But is ye sorry, Hagar?
20524	But it passed away, and in sudden frenzy and despair he rushed up to Dirk, exclaiming,--"How do you know, man?
20524	But now papa was gone, and Uncle Richard?
20524	But what right had he to look to Heaven for aid?--he who knew not God, nor sought him, nor desired his love?
20524	But where was there a deliverer?
20524	But whose name did you mention?"
20524	Ca n''t you guess what it is?"
20524	Ca n''t you see through a ladder, Ben?
20524	Can a lad like you ever be contented in this old house?"
20524	Could he survive another?
20524	Could he teach those idle, ignorant children?
20524	Could nothing be done?
20524	D''ye see the way he be runnin''up an''down, poor man?"
20524	D''ye think he be one to teach our young uns wrong, eh?
20524	D''ye_ know_ he started?
20524	Dar''s all poor Mas''r Noll''s books an''t''ings lyin''''bout eberywhar, an''how ken de poor chile stan''it?
20524	Did ever the sea quench a fairer, brighter life?
20524	Did he say?"
20524	Did ye drop down frum de sky, or what, chile?"
20524	Did ye promise de Lord, or who?"
20524	Did you know that we have actually got company?
20524	Did you see how they made way for us, and touched their caps, some of them?
20524	Didn''t-- didn''t Uncle Richard expect me?"
20524	Do n''t ye know he wo n''t''spise an''hate ye jes''as ef he was like a man?
20524	Do n''t ye know it, Mas''r Dick?--can''t ye feel it?
20524	Do n''t ye know it?
20524	Do n''t ye know whose wind and whose sea''tis?"
20524	Do n''t you really think so, too, Uncle Richard?"
20524	Do n''t you remember?
20524	Do n''t you remember?"
20524	Do n''t_ ye_ t''ank de Lord?"
20524	Do you really mean it?
20524	Do you really mean that-- that you''re going to repair their huts for them?"
20524	Do you think I am?"
20524	Do you think I can help wanting to do what is his work?"
20524	Do you think I could do anything, Hagar?"
20524	Do you think he found peace and happiness again?
20524	Do you think he''ll scold because I''ve come?"
20524	Do you think you''ll grant it?
20524	Do you understand?"
20524	Do you understand?"
20524	Do you wonder that people could spend their lives here, die, and never have seen the world without?
20524	Do you wonder what could make him so stern and sad?
20524	Do_ you_ think papa would be pleased?"
20524	Does I''spect ye ken do anything fur dem yer?
20524	Does he know?"
20524	Driver, put these trunks aboard in a hurry, since the skipper is waiting; and-- Noll, are you ready?"
20524	Goin''to let me carry ye back to Hastings afore the''Gull''stops runnin''?"
20524	Had he not fled to Culm Rock to escape all knowledge of what was transpiring in the world without,--to forget friends and kin, if that was possible?
20524	Had he only saved a body from which the life had flown?
20524	Had not everything about the boy and his life been bright and pleasant to think of?
20524	Had the sea given him up?--had that terrible tempest spared him in its wild fury?
20524	Hagar moved wearily about from the cupboard to the table, saying to herself,--"What ye t''inkin''ob, Hagar, to tell him dat?
20524	Hagar shall not move them, and I will have them before my eyes alway, just as his dear hands left them?
20524	Hagar wiped a pile of plates, and laying down her towel, said, reverently,--"Promise, chile?
20524	Hain''t ye never been to Culm afore?"
20524	Have you no regard for your life,--for my happiness?"
20524	He be a good lad to mend our housen so finely, and w''u''d ye think I ben''t willin''to do his wish?"
20524	He ca n''t know what I would be to him if I could; how can he?
20524	He said, one day, while sitting on a great heap of shingles beside the carpenter,--"What''s to become of all these children, Mr. Sampson?
20524	He suddenly faced the skipper, saying, very earnestly,"What kind of a place is Culm Rock, anyhow?
20524	He turned to Noll, saying, with a little smile,--"Some of your sworn friends?"
20524	He wished that he might do something toward the work; but, then, how could he?
20524	How can I believe it?
20524	How can you tell?
20524	How could he lose him now?
20524	How does the money hold out?
20524	How ken ye?"
20524	How ken ye?"
20524	How would it be when he was gone?
20524	Hurry, boy?"
20524	I could n''t be sober, like Noll, if I should try; and you would n''t want me to; would you, old fellow?"
20524	I hope so,"said Noll;"but what are the people going to do till then?"
20524	I wonder if I am to grow up like those dull Culm people?"
20524	I wonder if my trunks will come this morning?
20524	I''m glad I brought hooks and lines, and-- What''s that light ahead?
20524	I?
20524	If Noll had sent him a farewell,--a last message,--oh, what would he not give to hear it?
20524	Is n''t it a town?"
20524	Is n''t this enough?
20524	Is tea all ready?"
20524	Is that how you came to be caught by the tide?"
20524	Is there a school at Culm Rock?
20524	Is your uncle like your father at all?"
20524	It drew near Trafford, at last, and a tremulous old voice said,--"Is dis ye, Mas''r Dick?
20524	It dun make ye homesick?"
20524	It was always,"And how do you get on with your plan?--and are the houses''most finished?"
20524	It''s a dreadful t''ing not ter know de Lord; ai n''t it, chile?
20524	It''s-- it''s-- oh, it''s will you take a walk?"
20524	Kase, do n''t ye know de Lord''s in it?
20524	Lonesome any?
20524	Mas''r Dick, why do n''t ye t''ank Him fur savin''ob yer boy fur ye?"
20524	May I go around to Culm after breakfast?"
20524	May I?
20524	May I?"
20524	Might not these long wasted years yet be paid for by deeds of mercy and charity?
20524	Mr. Snape came up just here, drawling,"What ye think o''the winters down''ere, now, lad?"
20524	Must the child die for lack of a little medicine?
20524	Noll asked, with a puzzled face,--"what is to befall me, Uncle Richard?"
20524	Noll hardly knew what answer to make to this vehement question, and finally made none at all, but asked,--"Are any of your family ill, Dirk?"
20524	Noll looked up quickly, with,"Papa lost to you, to me, Uncle Richard?
20524	Noll overheard one old fish- wife say,"We ben''t slick''nough for new housen; ther''ll hev to be great scrubbin''an''scourin''that day, eh, Janet?"
20524	Noll thought in perplexity,"or shall I have to ask him?
20524	Noll?
20524	Not hear a word from Hastings for a whole long winter?
20524	Now, ken ye''member all dat, honey?"
20524	Now, what are those dirty fishermen to you, Noll?"
20524	Of what use, he wondered as he sat there, was such a life as his?
20524	Oh, I wonder if it is best to keep them?"
20524	Oh, but I wonder if Ned ever regrets his denial, and longs for the pony?"
20524	Oh, how can I ever find his face?--and how can he ever smile upon me who have rejected him?"
20524	Oh, if there is a kind and merciful God, why has he stricken me?
20524	Oh, the suspense and agony of those minutes!--the weary watching and waiting for-- what?
20524	Papa_ lost_ to us?"
20524	Shall I get them?"
20524	Shall I have to command you to take off those wet clothes?"
20524	Shall I try?"
20524	Sick, ye mean?
20524	So does n''t my plan seem possible?"
20524	T''inkin''ob de mis''ry ober dar; ai n''t ye?"
20524	The warm, eager color rushed into Noll''s face, and he cried,"Do you mean that-- that-- a teacher might take my place, Uncle Richard?
20524	The--""But what will your uncle say?
20524	Then Noll asked, softly,--"Do you give me permission to help them all I can, Uncle Richard?"
20524	Then why-- why-- aren''t you thankful to God?"
20524	Then, thinking his ears had deceived him, he said,"Why-- why-- what did you say, Uncle Richard?"
20524	To be drowned in this dark, chill, raging flood?
20524	To- morrow the tide would be at its work again, the ships go on, the sun shine warm and bright over all,--and he?
20524	Trafford evinced no surprise, much to Noll''s wonder, and merely asked,"Where do you find the time?"
20524	Trafford looked at him a few minutes in silence, and finally asked,--"What plans have you made for winter about your school, my boy?"
20524	Trafford made a faint attempt to smile, and asked,--"Could Hagar find you anything fit to eat?
20524	Trafford made no reply to this question, but, when he spoke again, said,"Not even if another teacher filled your place, Noll?"
20524	Uncle Richard, do n''t you think it is terrible to see them so wretched, and no one to help them?"
20524	W''u''d he be doin''us a bad turn who''s mendin''the housen an''makin''us comf''table?
20524	Was he offended at what he had done and was doing for the Culm people?
20524	Was he really standing upon a heavenly shore, where no waves beat nor tempest raved, and, perhaps, looking down upon his own lonely vigil?
20524	Was he to be drowned?
20524	Was it any wonder that-- with all this misery and death about him, and the sight of it distressing him-- Noll should grow sick at heart?
20524	Was it only a rock, as the name suggested, and no town?
20524	Was that what you meant?"
20524	Was the dear form caught and held by the entangling arms of some purple weed in the sea depths?
20524	Was there no place in the wide, wide earth where such wretchedness could not pursue?
20524	Was this last loss meant to be the great affliction which, through love, should turn his heart toward God and his kingdom?
20524	We came up to the kitchen- door, because Hagar''s light shone so brightly, and what do you think?
20524	Well, well, honey, we dunno nuffin on dis yer Rock?
20524	Were you in earnest, and shall I answer?"
20524	What are those Culm people to us,--to me?
20524	What can I do?
20524	What cared he for the thunder of the sea, the wind''s screaming, and the terror of death which they boded?
20524	What could have come across the man''s feelings so suddenly and with such effect?
20524	What could he do with him?
20524	What could it mean?
20524	What did these things matter to him?
20524	What did ye bring fur my little gal?"
20524	What do you study, Noll?"
20524	What ef de wind is blowin''?
20524	What had wrought the change so suddenly?
20524	What had you to do with?
20524	What have you been up to that dreary little heap of graves for?"
20524	What if even now the boy was oppressed with the languor and depression which precedes illness?
20524	What if he were to die and be buried there, too?
20524	What if it should be so?
20524	What if the fever should get a hold of the boy?
20524	What kind of a place could Culm Rock be?
20524	What made ye ask dat?
20524	What more would you have?"
20524	What was there here to make the place endurable for a boy of his age and tastes?
20524	What were you thinking of?
20524	What ye feared of, Hagar?
20524	What ye goin''to give me fur bringin''ye sech a parcel, Master Noll?"
20524	What ye say, lads?"
20524	What ye t''ink, honey?"
20524	What ye think?
20524	What''s de use ob stribin''to fight him?--what''s de use?
20524	When he did perceive him, he stopped short, exclaiming, almost fiercely,--"What_ ye_ here fur, lad?--what ye here fur?
20524	When is he going to stop here again?"
20524	When shall we start?"
20524	Where had he been sojourning all these long weeks?
20524	Where will you get the money?
20524	Which of them could be Uncle Richard?
20524	Who could tell what peril the boy might be in while crossing the sea?
20524	Who thought of danger or death then?
20524	Who thought of death lying in wait in that calm, shadowy sea?
20524	Who was to do it?
20524	Who would not be forever sad with nothing beyond the grave but blank and darkness in which loved hearts were alway vanishing?
20524	Whose is it?"
20524	Why are you so silent, Noll?"
20524	Why did he stay on this dreary Rock?
20524	Why do n''t you help them, Uncle Richard?
20524	Why do n''t you,--why_ do n''t_ you?"
20524	Why do you sit here in the darkness?"
20524	Why had the boy lingered so long?
20524	Why hide them?
20524	Why should I try to hide aught that his blessed memory lingers around?"
20524	Why should he care for this boy or this boy''s letter?
20524	Why shut them up in darkness, as if some evil, dreaded memory were connected with the sight of them?
20524	Why, Mr. Trafford, what does Noll do with himself, anyhow?
20524	Why, Uncle Richard, you wo n''t say''No''_ this_ time?"
20524	Why, oh, why, of all times, did this gentle breathing come to him here?
20524	Why, what be this?"
20524	Why, you dear old fellow, ai n''t I better than letters?
20524	Why_ did n''t_ I think of the tide?
20524	Will they be left to grow up like their fathers and mothers?"
20524	Will ye hab it wait any longer?"
20524	Will you all be here?"
20524	Will you bring them?
20524	Will you let him drown without even an attempt to save him?
20524	Will you let him drown without lifting a hand to save him?"
20524	Will you?"
20524	Will you?"
20524	Will you?"
20524	Wo n''t you be careful for my sake?"
20524	Wo n''t you tell me?"
20524	Wonder ef dis yer ole woman wo n''t be tickled''nuff to see him when de day comes?
20524	Wonder what Mas''r Dick t''inks o''de boy?
20524	Would He-- whom all his life long he had refused and rejected-- hear his cries?
20524	Would Uncle Richard tell him if there were?
20524	Would he give him a kind welcome?
20524	Would it last alway?
20524	Would n''t you like to be here to see us then?
20524	Would n''t you, Ned?"
20524	Would that happy day ever come?
20524	Would the sea never give it up?
20524	Would they ever sit still long enough to look in a book?
20524	Ye do n''t wonder the little gal could n''t come up like the rest o''the young uns?"
20524	Ye habn''t got any''Mas''r Dick;''so how ken ye?
20524	Ye wo n''t mind Hagar''s ole kitchen jes''fur once, honey?"
20524	You put your life in peril-- oh, I tremble to think_ what_ peril!--for Dirk''s miserable child?
20524	_ His_ treasure was safe, safe!--torn from the very yawning mouth of the deep, and what were wreck and disaster of others to him?
20524	and are n''t you terribly moped up in such quarters?
20524	and do you know your voice sounded like papa''s just now?"
20524	and for me?"
20524	and how do they manage with their Greek?
20524	and were n''t you awful homesick?
20524	and what do you suppose he''ll say?"
20524	and who could tell how many years of good deeds and charity could pay for forty years of wasted ones?
20524	and why do n''t your Uncle Richard do the work, instead of you?"
20524	and will they ever, ever learn the whole alphabet?"
20524	and, you dear old Noll, how_ have_ you managed to live it through, anyhow?"
20524	and-- When am I to begin my studies, and who am I to recite to?"
20524	are you here?"
20524	beyond those shining worlds, in that happy heaven which he trusted in?"
20524	cried he, falling back a step or two,"ye ben''t goin''_ there_?"
20524	do you forgive me?"
20524	do you know what you are doing?"
20524	exclaimed Ned,"what''re you thinking of?
20524	exclaimed Trafford, impatiently,"what are these miserable fish- folks to you?
20524	he thought to himself;"how could he ever bring himself to do it?
20524	he thought;"and I wonder how those huts stand such a tempest as this?
20524	he wondered,--a life fuller of rich and generous promise?
20524	how can I help it, Uncle Richard?"
20524	how did you find me?"
20524	is dis Noll Trafford''s boy?"
20524	muttered the skipper;"make the best o''this''ere breeze, eh, Jack?"
20524	or was it cradled in the calm, unruffled quiet of some crevice of the rocks?
20524	or,"Have you got those Culm savages almost civilized, you dear old Noll?--and does Uncle Richard know anything about it yet?
20524	or,"Oh, now I think of it, how many scholars in Latin have you got down there?
20524	said Hagar, in a shocked tone;"do n''t ye know de Lord''s all mercy an''lubbin''kin''ness?
20524	said Hagar, with shining eyes;"an''what did ye do den, honey?"
20524	said Hagar;"an''who is dem yer?"
20524	said Hagar;"an''why did n''t yer father come too?"
20524	said Ned, briskly, and not regretting this interruption;"what_ are_ we sitting here in the dark for, Noll?
20524	said Noll, assuringly;"you''ve felt my hands, my face, my shoulders, and are n''t they alive and warm?"
20524	said Noll;"I never was so glad to see anything as the old''Gull''in my life; and oh, why did n''t you come earlier, skipper?"
20524	said Trafford:"but oh, my boy, where were you on that awful night?"
20524	said he, incredulous;"what ye goin''to live in?"
20524	said the black old figure, stooping over the cooking utensils on the stone hearth,"do n''t ye know?
20524	skipper, have n''t you got a great packet of''em for me?"
20524	thought Noll;"and what can he do with them, if they are ill?"
20524	was there no deliverance?
20524	what ef de sea is a- screamin''?
20524	what to do?
20524	what_ can_ be done?"
20524	where are you?"
20524	where ye bound fur now?
20524	who''s dis?"
20524	why has he left me without a comforter in the world?"
20524	why has he taken all the joy out of my life?
20524	you careless lad, what can I do with you?
