5368When we had got within twenty feet or so of the landing, a dame in a red woollen kerchief called out:"What hae ye done wi''Mungo, John Paul?"
5368cried mine host,"ye ken Ivie o''Maryland, Ivie my brither?"
5368cried the captain when I returned;"have you seen your friends?"
5368exclaimed Comyn, astonished;"and pray, what are you now, sir?"
5368said the bailiff when we were got in beside one of his men, and burning with the shame of it;"to the prison?
15130Are you free?
15130Are you travelling any distance, my friend?
15130Can thee read or write any, James?
15130Do you know why these boys have not got home this morning yet?
15130Have you got papers?
15130I suppose, then, you are provided with free papers?
15130If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him, but if a man sin against God, who shall entreat for him?
15130Were you away yesterday?
15130What are you rolling your white eyes at me for, you lazy rascal?
15130--"What does thee know about that boy?"
15130After an hour or two of such freaks of joy, a gloom would come over me in connexion with these questions,"But where are you going?
15130And could He not also have given the gospel to us without making us slaves?
15130And has a man no sense of honour because he was born a slave?
15130Another said,"Who would have thought that rascal was so''cute?"
15130Are you then, by sustaining the relation of a slaveholder, forming a character to dwell with God in peace?
15130BROTHER- IN- LAW.--"How did thee find out that fact?"
15130BROTHER- IN- LAW.--"What did he offer thee to find the boy?"
15130BROTHER- IN- LAW.--"Where art thou from?"
15130BROTHER- IN- LAW.--"Who did he run away from?"
15130But what is generally the fate of such female slaves?
15130But what treatment did you see fit to return me for all this?
15130But what, my dear sir, is a reputation among posterity, who are but worms, compared with a destiny in the world of spirits?
15130But why this enormous sum for two mere children?
15130Could He not have made this a great and wealthy nation without making its riches to consist in our blood, bones, and souls?
15130Has he no need of character?
15130How do I know what precipices may be within its bounds?
15130How do I know what ravenous beasts are in this wood?
15130How shall I act so that he will reap the benefit of my time and talents?
15130How shall I know when I am on the right road again?
15130How would an untutored slave, who had never heard of such a writer as Archdeacon Paley, be likely to act in such a dilemma?
15130I answered him politely; when the following occurred:--"Who do_ you_ belong to?"
15130I can not rest in this wood to- morrow, for it will be searched by those men from whom I have escaped; but how shall I regain the road?
15130I know that Pennsylvania is a free state, but I know not where its soil begins, or where that of Maryland ends?
15130I ventured to ask the lad at the gate another question-- Which is the best way to Philadelphia?
15130I was arrested, and the demand made upon me,"Who do you belong to?"
15130If you ask me if I expected when I left home to gain my liberty by fabrications and untruths?
15130If you ask me whether I had expected before I left home, to gain my liberty by shedding men''s blood, or breaking their limbs?
15130If you ask me whether I now really believe that I gained my liberty by those lies?
15130Is not my liberty worth more to me than two hundred dollars are to them?
15130Is not this enough without the blood of some half- score of souls?
15130Let me ask any one of Anglo- Saxon blood and spirit, how would you expect a_ son_ to feel at such a sight?
15130Nay, is Christ divided?
15130Now arose a serious query-- which is the right prong for me?
15130On being informed that I was, I asked her if she knew where I could get employ?
15130On the questions, What shall I do for the slave?
15130PED.--"I belong in Conn."BROTHER- IN- LAW.--"Did thee see the boy''s master?"
15130PED.--"I understand he had a black boy with him last winter, I wonder if he is there yet?"
15130PEDLER.--"Do you know one W.W. somewhere about here?"
15130Shall I call on my brother as I pass through, and shew him what I am about?
15130The question may be asked, Why I have published anything so long after my escape from slavery?
15130The question was, shall I hide my purpose from them?
15130Then what will become of your own doubtful claims?
15130What are you going to do?
15130What kind of a man was he?"
15130What substance is there in a piece of dry Indian bread; what nourishment is there in it to warm the nerves of one already chilled to the heart?
15130What will you do with freedom without father, mother, sisters, and brothers?
15130What will you do?
15130What will you say when you are asked where you were born?
15130Where did he come from?"
15130Will not the whole family be sold off as a disaffected family, as is generally the case when one of its members flies?
15130Will they not be suspected?
15130Will this afford a sufficient sustenance after the toil of the night?
15130Yes, sirs, many of our masters are professed Christians; and what advantage is that to us?
15130You know nothing of the world; how will you explain the fact of your ignorance?"
15130moreover, how will my flight affect them when I am gone?
5371And Dorothy?
5371And Tom?
5371And any little ewe- lambs?
5371And are they not here?
5371And he is not suspected?
5371And so you are turned Jew?
5371And what if I tell you that I made friends with his Grace of Grafton, and Lord Sandwich, and was invited to Hichinbroke, his Lordship''s seat?
5371And what say you, Richard?
5371And who is that?
5371And you are to spend it upon an actress?
5371Are you Jack Carvel''s son, or are you an impostor?
5371Are you or are you not to give me the money?
5371Courtenay?
5371Did I not know the lad?
5371Have you not friends enough at home to care for you, sir?
5371Have you seen her in The Orphan? 5371 How do you, Richard?"
5371How do you, cousin?
5371How do you?
5371Is he to have his portion?
5371Is it Richard?
5371Is this your manor, Mr. Carvel? 5371 May I, too, bid you welcome, Richard,"said he, in his manly way;"and rejoice that I have got such a neighbour?"
5371O Lord, Mr. Carvel, what has happened, sir?
5371Our barrister is come, mother,we heard her exclaiming,"and whom do you think he has brought?"
5371Richard, will you ever learn sense? 5371 So you like my surprise, girl?"
5371That is you, Richard?
5371Then Mr. Carvel died without knowing that I was safe?
5371Then there is nothing to be got by contesting the will?
5371What is going forward to- day?
5371What said I, Henry?
5371What say you to a game of billiards, Philip?
5371What say you to that, gentlemen?
5371Who is it owns your shop, my man?
5371Why the devil was you not in Brook Street yesterday to tell me that your uncle had swindled you? 5371 Why, Jack, what are you doing here?"
5371Will you come in for a moment, Richard?
5371Will you do me the kindness, gentlemen,said she,"to leave me with my brother?"
5371Will you look at them before you go?
5371Worth your while?
5371You are so-- high- strung,she said,"I was afraid you would--""I would--?"
5371You have finished?
5371You will do what I ask?
5371You will have a feast, my good man?
5371You will not worry over that senseless speech of Tom''s?
5371Alone?
5371And that reminds me, Richard,"said he, looking straight at me with his clear, dark eyes:"have you made any plans for your future?"
5371Carvel?"
5371Carvel?"
5371Carvel?"
5371Chipchase?"
5371Did I not say so?
5371Do you follow me?"
5371Do you know that you will ruin your father in another year and you continue?"
5371Do you think you can prove that?"
5371Eh, Courtenay?"
5371Eh, Courtenay?"
5371Eh, doctor?"
5371Had I seen him in London?
5371Have you been to London?"
5371Have you not heard of her among your tobacco- hills?
5371Have you spoken of this?"
5371He is to be factor of Gordon''s Pride?"
5371How goes the crop, Richard?
5371How would you like to be clerk this winter to the Committee of Correspondence?"
5371Is there a possibility of any such document?"
5371Lloyd?"
5371Must I take orders from the likes o''him, sir?"
5371Or have you a seat in Kent?"
5371Was it not fair to fight a scoundrel with his own weapons?
5371What say you, Philip?
5371What would poor father do?
5371Where a deuce have you been, sir?"
5371Will you come, Richard?
5371Would it not be better that Mr. Bordley or Mr. Lloyd should act?"
5371Your grandfather''s coachman?
5371he exclaimed,"you that have played with March and Fox?"
5371he exclaimed;"you have heard already?"
5371he said;"you will leave her?"
5371what do you fear?"
10401Daniel,he said, addressing me by my Christian name,"what are you doing here?
10401In what position is the prisoner placed by the evidence? 10401 Who is this man?
10401_ District Attorney_.--What newspaper is that from which the counsel reads? 10401 And does not this open a plain path for this prisoner out of the danger of this prosecution? 10401 And how did the slaves behave after they were captured? 10401 And, looking at those facts, is it necessary for me to open my lips in reply? 10401 Are you going to presume that the chickens run into his bag of their own accord, and without his agency? 10401 Are you to presume that the horse came to him of its own accord? 10401 Because the people in another land have arisen and triumphed over the despot, who had done-- what? 10401 But shall this prisoner be allowed to take advantage of his own wrong? 10401 But was not the vessel chartered in Philadelphia to carry off negroes? 10401 By what second- sight are you to look into this void space and time, and to say that Drayton enticed them to go on board? 10401 Can any man be a patriot who pursues such a course? 10401 Can you, without any evidence, say that Drayton enticed them, and that by no other means could they come onboard? 10401 Did he not know they were slaves? 10401 Did he, or not? 10401 Did not that show his authority over them,--that the slaves were under his control, and that he was the master- spirit? 10401 Do n''t you think he ought to? 10401 Do they get up a debate in Congress, and a riot in the city of Washington, every time a theft is committed or attempted in the District? 10401 Does that look as if he seduced them? 10401 For what have we rejoiced? 10401 Has he done anything to take this case out of the transportation statute, and to convert it into a case of stealing? 10401 Has the District Attorney, with all his zeal, pointed out a single particle of evidence of that sort? 10401 He came here from Philadelphia for them; they are found on board his vessel; Drayton says he would steal a negro if he could; is not that enough? 10401 He chartered the vessel to carry off negroes; and, if they were free negroes, or he supposed them to be, how was he to realize an independent fortune? 10401 How can you ask me to abandon it, and thus become a party to my own degradation? 10401 How is he introduced to the jury by his Philadelphia friends? 10401 If he had employers, who were they? 10401 If his confessions are to be taken at all, they are to be taken together; and do they not tend to prove such a state of facts? 10401 If they had been running away, would they not have been downcast and disheartened? 10401 Is he an enlightened friend of freedom, or even a judicious friend of those with whom he affects to sympathize, who adopts such a course? 10401 Is there any crowd or excitement here? 10401 It was all very well for the prisoner''s counsel to smooth things over; but was I, instead of calling him a liar, to say, he told a fib? 10401 Might not somebody else have done it? 10401 Might they not have gone without being enticed at all? 10401 Now, he can not be guilty of both; and which of these offences, if either, does the evidence against him prove? 10401 Now, is it the only possible means of accounting for the presence of Houver''s slaves on board to suppose that this prisoner enticed them? 10401 Now, what is possession of a slave? 10401 Now, which of these two acts is proved against this prisoner? 10401 Shall the record of this trial go forth to the world showing that you have found a fact of which there was no evidence? 10401 The question for you is, Does the evidence in this case bring the prisoner within the law as laid down by the court? 10401 The real question in this case was, Which had I done? 10401 The whole question in this case is, Were these slaves stolen, or were they running away with the prisoner''s assistance? 10401 The wood was a blind; besides he lied about it;--would he have ever come back to collect his note? 10401 There was the fact of their being under the hatches, concealed in the hold of the vessel,--did not that prove he meant to steal them? 10401 We now ask a categorical answer,--Will you remove your press? 10401 We now ask of you, Shall this be done? 10401 Were not these slaves found in Drayton''s possession, and did n''t he admit that he took them? 10401 When I call him a thief and a felon, do I go beyond the charge of the grand jury in the indictment? 10401 Where can the government produce positive testimony to the taking? 10401 Where is the least evidence that the prisoner seduced these slaves, and induced them to leave their masters? 10401 Who does not know that such men are, practically, the worst enemies of the slaves? 10401 Why discuss, when they can not act? 10401 Why first lay down an abstract principle, which they intend to violate in practice? 10401 Why had not these black people, so anxious to escape from their masters, as good a light to their liberty as I had to mine? 10401 Why say he knew he should end his days in a penitentiary? 10401 Why say he took them for gain, if he did not steal them? 10401 Why say if he got off with the negroes he should have realized an independent fortune? 10401 Why so, if the negroes were not slaves? 10401 Why, then, this sudden feeling in his behalf? 10401 Will not these wailings of anguish reach the ears of the Most High? 10401 Would not they have said, Now we are taken? 10401 Would they not exhaust the law- books to find the severest punishment? 10401 You are to look at the evidence; and where is the evidence that the prisoner seduced and enticed these slaves? 5366 And how is it you are so far from home, and alone, my little one?"
5366And how went it, Miss Manners?
5366And so he thinks he has found a divinity, does: he?
5366And this is young Mr. Carvel, whom I hear wins every hunt in the colony?
5366And what were they saying?
5366And will you not have my chestnuts, sir, for your kindness?
5366Are there not better methods for obtaining what you wish than those you practise?
5366Are you glad to go?
5366Are you not happy, Dolly?
5366Are you not well, Richard?
5366But you,I said, bending to her ear,"is it Fitzhugh, Dorothy?"
5366But,I interrupted, when I was somewhat recovered,"why should you think me in love with Patty?
5366Can you see the frigate, Stanwix?
5366Do you mean Mr. Grafton, fellow?
5366Do you mind how you once asked the favour of inviting her in the place of a present? 5366 Do you remember the place where I used to play fairy godmother, and wind the flowers into my hair?"
5366England?
5366Have you forgotten me, Richard?
5366Have you heard the news from abroad, Richard?
5366Have you not enough to wish you good- by, Dolly?
5366Is it?
5366Is your grandfather worse?
5366Mr. Allen consents to that, sir?
5366Now where a- deuce were you, Richard?
5366Oh, Richard, is, there not something you can do?
5366Plotting?
5366Scipio,she cries,"why are we not served?"
5366So you are the young barrister''s daughter?
5366So you looked for her to be angry?
5366Tidings, sir?
5366What do you mean, Dolly?
5366What said I say?
5366What the devil do you mean, Hugo?
5366What think you of the rector as a representative of heaven, Harvey?
5366What was it, Betty?
5366What was my prediction, Miss Dolly, when you stepped your first dance at Carvel Hall?
5366What were you about, moping off alone, with a party in your honour, sir?
5366Where have you been of late, sir? 5366 Who is this, Richard?"
5366Who?
5366Why did you lie, I say?
5366Why do n''t you assert yourself, Richard? 5366 Why do n''t you make me jealous?"
5366Why do you ask me? 5366 Why do you ask?"
5366Why do you not coarse over, as you used to?
5366Will you join us at catch and swing?
5366Will you not, my dear?
5366Will your Excellency confess likewise?
5366Would you miss me if I went away, Richard?
5366You do not care for Patty?
5366You silly boy,said she,"ca n''t you see that she herself has prescribed for you?
5366You wo n''t be wanting her now, your honour?
5366After all these years have you dropped from the weight of a blow?"
5366And at that moment perceiving me she added,"Why so disconsolate, my dear nephew?
5366And in the Coffee House, and in every drawing- room in town, prophesy for her a career of conquest such as few could boast?
5366Are they not all alike, mother?"
5366Are you coming, mammy?"
5366Because, forsooth, my hair is white now, does Bess flatter herself I do not know her secret?
5366Could we wish for more?
5366Have I ever been one to make pretences?"
5366How does your grandfather?
5366How now, Mr. Carvel?
5366How now, sir?
5366I thank Heaven you are big and honest and clumsy and--""And what, Dorothy?"
5366In Gloucester Street?"
5366Is it not enough to admit that the money I get for your instruction keeps me in champagne?"
5366Is n''t she from Maryland?"
5366Is she here?"
5366Manners?"
5366Or does Comyn believe that these old eyes can see no farther than the spectacles before them?
5366Swain?"
5366Tell me, is it your Uncle Grafton?"
5366Was it Dorothy''s conduct that drove me?
5366Was it possible?
5366Was it strange that Dr. Courtenay should pride himself upon the discovery of a new beauty?
5366Was it surprising that the Gazette should contain a poem with the doctor''s well- known ear- marks upon it?
5366Was it worth while now, I asked myself, to disturb the peace of that mind?
5366What be him and Mr. Grafton a- doing here, sir, plotting all kinds o''crime while the old gentleman''s nigh on his back?"
5366What life ever worth living has been without its tender attachment?
5366What need to ask?
5366What people of consequence have we here?
5366Where have you been hiding?
5366Whether or no such characters make them one and the same, who can tell?
5366Why were you not here to see Miss Manners tread a minuet?
5366You deny her?"
5366You were about to do me the honour of a communication?"
5366he cried,"have you succumbed?
5366says she;"how can you, when''tis you and mother, and Richard here, who make me go into the world?
2008How shall I to myself alone, The weakness of my bosom own? 2008 Why pines my heart so wearily, Why heaves my aching breast, And why is sleep so far from me, When others are at rest?
2008And a few years, in which to eat the fruit Of life''s strange tree, so bitter at its core, Then death, the quiet grave, sleep, and-- what more?
2008And a nation''s grateful praise Given to thine after days?
2008And have I not already said That these things are, that they are quick with life,-- Such life as disembodied spirits have,-- That they are deathless?
2008And is thy mercy to their wailings deaf?
2008And thus from varying year to year, The youthful chief has lingered here; Chief!--why is he so nobly named?
2008And who by kith, and who by name, Is he, that lone, yet haughty one?
2008Are thine acts As full of wisdom, and as free from blame?
2008Be still, worn heart, be still; does not the cold And heavy clay-- clod mingle with her mould?
2008Burns thy glance with victory?
2008Canst thou not be content when thou art feared By those who rule a world?
2008Did she curse or bless Thee with her frown or smile?
2008Dost thou dream of conflicts done, Perils past and trophies won?
2008Dost thou not fear to tread a path like this?
2008Dost thou not pity now?
2008Eternal-- is it not eternal-- this Our passionate love?
2008Had earth yet one whose smile could stir, My spirit with deep love for her?
2008Has thy breath made them quick with, breathing life?
2008Has thy hand shaped them out the forms they wear?
2008Hast thou too sinned?
2008Hast though not heard her holy songs of peace And plenty warbled from each vocal grove, And murmured by her myriads of streams?
2008Have I not answered thee?
2008How Dealt Fortune with thee?
2008How many warriors at his call, By Arcouski''s breath inflamed, Would with him fight, and for him fall?
2008I have health, And strength, and food, and raiment, and employ, And should I not then have a joyous heart?
2008If not, then why deny to her the life And spirit you possess?
2008If there be, beyond This wall of blackness, aught of mystery, What power shall guide us to it?
2008Is love the offspring of the will?
2008Is not the justice which confines him here Akin to cruelty?
2008Let us go nearer, Now what seest though?
2008Mark ye not how across that eye so clear, Steals his eclipse?
2008Or had life yet some genial ray, That wooed me in its warmth to stay?
2008Pants thy soul for battle now?
2008Shall life possess, and beauty deck again That withered form, and foul and dusky cheek?
2008Shall we at last less calmly sleep, When in the narrow death- house pent, Because the bosom of the deep Shall be our only monument?
2008She sang a mournful song of love, Of trusting love betrayed; Ah, why did he who won her, prove So faithless to the maid?
2008She thirsted, too, for knowledge, and she gave Her innocence-- her home in Paradise-- The happiness of him-- who shared her lot-- To know-- what?
2008Spirit, why dost thou Taunt me with my mortality?
2008Still silent?
2008That thus you come with flowers to deck the mournful home of death; And thou-- why darkens so thy brow with grief''s untimely gloom?
2008The noontide hour goes by, and yet The bridegroom tarries-- why?
2008Was it a coward fear of death, That bade me treasure up my breath?
2008Was thy brow Graced with the poet''s, hero''s garland?
2008Were these of thine immortal will conceived?
2008What is there yet Which thy insatiate mind desires to know?
2008What moves thee thus?
2008What precious burden do they bear?
2008What wouldst thou know?
2008What wouldst thou of me?
2008When shall its hour of renovation come?
2008When the alarum first was sounded, Marshalling in arms the brave, Forth thy fearless spirit bounded, To obtain thee-- what?
2008Whence came we?
2008Whence comes that shriek of wild despair That rises wildly on the air?
2008Whither shall we direct our journey now?
2008Whose is the arm so fondly thrown Around the cold, unconscious clay, That can not its caress repay?
2008Whose name is on yon lettered stone?
2008Why gazest thou on me and not on him?
2008Why move they with such cautious care?
2008Why not?
2008Why, mindful of my fame and pride, When my brave brethren had died; Why, with my friendly, ready knife, Drew I not forth my useless life?
2008With every flow''r Of graceful form, and soft and downy leaf, And tender hue, and tint, that Beauty owns, To deck her gentle breast?
2008Would''st learn immortal mysteries?
2008Would''st see them?
2008Ye know her pray''r, Was for the quiet of the tomb''s deep rest,-- Love''s sepulchre lay cold within her breast, Could peace dwell there?
2008a thing that knows not death?
2008and where?
2008hast though not beheld Her weaving, in the sunny springtide hours, A fairy web of emerald- bladed grass To robe her valleys in?
2008hath He not written that Death has dominion only over sin?
2008is there aught still more remote than these From the great centre of the universe,-- The fair domain of life and living things?
2008or is it, like a flower, So frail that it may fade and be forgotten in an hour?
2008other watchers here at this lone hour?
2008tell me if what I see is more Than a delusion; if it be, whence came These shades?
2008what are they?
2008what pow''r shall part us twain?
2008what-- what are they now?
2008where are they?
2008where is mind, or heart, or soul, That has not bowed to its control?
2008where, abide they now?
2008whither go we?
2008whose ashes rest beneath?
2008why yet tarries he, and where?
2008will she make Her home in thee, and shall these poor remains Share with her heaven''s pleasures or hell''s pains?
5370Allen?
5370Am I false to my own father? 5370 And Miss Manners?
5370And are we to keep it?
5370And how is she now, Comyn?
5370And so you wish me to stop drawing? 5370 And then,"added his Lordship, facing me with absolute fierceness,"and then, Richard, why the devil did she weep?
5370And what has happened to- day?
5370And you call that worse than losing my dearest friend on earth?
5370Any one with him?
5370Are they all like you?
5370Are you better, Dorothy?
5370Are you in a hurry, sir,she asked at length, turning on me with a smile,"are you in a hurry to join my Lord March or his Grace of Grafton?
5370Could you not see that I have been trying to get a word with you for ever so long?
5370Did you ever know George Wrottlesey, of the Suffolk branch?
5370Do you mean that Grafton has got possession of the estate? 5370 Do you think the house will hold you both?"
5370Egad, Richard,said my Lord, when we had got to my lodgings,"I made him change colour, did I not?
5370Have you ever thought much of the men we have in the colonies?
5370His name, Fred?
5370How do you feel, Richard?
5370How do you know?
5370Is Mr. Carvel dead? 5370 Is this so?"
5370May I speak to your Grace alone?
5370Sooner than he looked for?
5370Tell me, is it, or is it not, true?
5370The flowers you gave me on your birthday,--the lilies of the valley, do you remember? 5370 Then why,"cried his Lordship, hotly,"why before refusing me did she demand to know whether you had been in love with Patty Swain?
5370Was she, now, my Lord?
5370Well?
5370What do you mean by that?
5370What do you say to a drive behind those chestnuts of mine, for a breath of air? 5370 What have they said?"
5370What is it, Richard?
5370What is it?
5370What time is it?
5370Where did you see the duke?
5370Where is our gallantry? 5370 Who?"
5370Why should you think that I have been ill?
5370Why, Richard,says the dog,"what do you think some wag has done now?
5370Will you sit, sir?
5370Will you sit?
5370Worse?
5370You have heard from Maryland?
5370You have heard?
5370You love the place?
5370You once mentioned a name to me--"Yes?
5370You went to his house?
5370An hour and a half, did you say, sir?
5370And I am afraid--""Of what?"
5370And Mr. Marmaduke?
5370And have you writ Captain Clapsaddle and your Whig friends at home of your new intimacies, of Mr. Fox and my Lord Sandwich?"
5370And my reply,--what was that to be?
5370And pray, how did this pretty subject come up?"
5370Are you enjoying London, Richard?
5370Are you going away without a word for me?"
5370But where are you to stop?
5370Can you bear it?"
5370Carvel?"
5370Carvel?"
5370Carvel?"
5370Carvel?"
5370Carvel?"
5370Do I understand your Lordship to question my courage?"
5370Do you know how the little fool looks to me?
5370Do you remember the argument you used when you had got me out of the sponging- house?
5370Garrick,"Carlisle puts in, very solemn,"what have you done to offend the Terrible Unknown?
5370Garrick?"
5370Granting, indeed, that she had refused to marry me, was that any reason why I should desert my life- long friend and playmate?
5370Have you enjoyed it?"
5370Have you ever been mobbed, Richard?"
5370Have you not seen your newspaper this morning?"
5370How does that prospect sit?"
5370Is she well?"
5370Is that what you mean, sir?"
5370Is that what you''re thinking?"
5370Now I have confessed myself, and what is the result?
5370Oh, tell me, is Mr. Carvel dead?"
5370Pray, how did the duke appear as he was going into the Serpentine?"
5370Richard, what have you done?"
5370That hurts, does it?
5370There was no need,"she exclaimed;"there was no need, do you hear?
5370There, sir, was I not right to beg Sir John Fielding to put you in safe keeping until your grandfather can send for you?"
5370Tyers?"
5370Was she to speak of the Duke of Chartersea?
5370What am I saying?"
5370When will you get over your provincial simplicity?"
5370Where is he?"
5370Who had he else in the world to bear him affection on his death- bed?
5370Why did you?
5370Will you dine with Lady Carlisle in St. James''s Place next Friday?"
5370You are asked?"
5370You never made one in your life, Tell me,"I cried, shaking him until his teeth smote together,"was it not put up between you?"
5370You wonder why I am of the King''s party?"
5370and have you fallen out with my lady?"
5370exclaimed Mr. Fox,"now what the devil can the hound want?"
5370he cried;"what the devil do you here, sir?"
5370says my Lord, very serious;"do I jest, Carlisle?"
5370she repeated, raising her eyebrows a trifle;"and Comyn and Mr. Fox?
5370she whispered, catching her breath;"what are you saying?"
5370sniffed the''ostler;"ride''i m is it, yere honour?
5370yelled the captain,"you question my horsemanship, my Lord?
5372''Ods, have you no invention? 5372 ''Slife, then, what have you been doing,"he cries,"seeing her every day and not asking her to marry you, my master of Carvel Hall?"
5372''Will your Grace spare me a minute in the drawing- room?'' 5372 An''will ye be aff to the wars?"
5372And Dorothy? 5372 And did I speak of aught else?"
5372And did he speak of the bargain he tried to make with our old friend, his Grace of Chartersea?
5372And does my Lord feel better after-- after his excitement to- day?
5372And how do you feel, sir?
5372And how the devil did Mr. Dix know?
5372And is the commodore still at the Texel?
5372And never of Dolly?
5372And now, Mr. Allen,I said,"to what do I owe the pain of this visit?"
5372And pray, how did he discover I was in London, sir?
5372And she knew it was from Commodore Jones?
5372And so you are now an American?
5372And think you that gentlemen of such spirit and resources will lack either for long?
5372And to what is this an introduction?
5372And what am I to pay for this information?
5372And what news do you hear from London?
5372And where have you been these days gone, Miss Will- o''the- Wisp, since the doctor has given me back my tongue?
5372And will you give me some account of this last prodigious turn you have done her?
5372And you agreed to marry him, Dolly?
5372And you heard rumours of me, Dorothy?
5372And you, Jack,I asked,"how is it that you are not in arms for the King, and commanding one of his frigates?"
5372And you?
5372Are you going to the war-- to leave us, Richard?
5372Are you happy, Dolly?
5372But you, Captain Paul,I said,"is-- is there no one?"
5372Can you not see that Mr. Allen desires to do us-- to do you-- a service?
5372Did you wish anything more, sir?
5372Do you feel strong enough for a journey, Richard?
5372Do you hear us?
5372Do you know what he wishes, Dorothy?
5372Do you really want me, sir?
5372Dolly had n''t told you?
5372Grafton Carvel in London?
5372Has the risk you ran getting me into England ever occurred to you, Jack?
5372Has your Uncle Grafton called to express his sympathies, Richard?
5372Have you struck, sir?
5372He tried to sell her again?
5372How am I to piece words enough together to thank you for this supreme act of charity?
5372How may you be directed to?
5372How was I to suspect that you loved a provincial booby like me, when you had the choice of so many accomplished gentlemen with titles and estates?
5372How were you to perceive, indeed, that you had qualities which they lacked?
5372In Arlington Street?
5372Is all the world turning virtuous? 5372 Is-- is it Dorothy?"
5372Out of Holland?
5372Richard, do you love me?
5372Scared you?
5372So he''s back, is he?
5372Then he appears to be a landowner?
5372What Israelite brickmaker of Pharaoh''s dreamed of Solomon''s temple? 5372 What am I to say to you, Jack?"
5372What appearance does the man make?
5372What have you there, Richard?
5372What plan would you pursue, sir?
5372What ship is that?
5372When you consider all the harm you have done me, and all the double- dealing I may lay at your door, can you blame me for my feelings?
5372Where are you going, sir?
5372Where away?
5372Where is Miss Dolly?
5372Where-- where is Miss Dolly?
5372Who is to mend my waistcoats now?
5372Why, Jack,said I,"what have we there?
5372Will you see a visitor, Richard?
5372Yes, Marse Dick?
5372You are not going?
5372--"Mr. Allen, who was the rector of St. Anne''s?
5372Again came the hail:"What ship is that?"
5372Allen?"
5372Already, sir?
5372And I let her come in, will you give me your honour as a gentleman not to speak more than two words to her?"
5372And do you recall the teamster we met by the Park, and how he arrested his salute when he saw who it was?
5372And how much of that money do you suppose I get, sir?
5372And how was I to repay them?
5372And suddenly I heard you cry:''Patty, when I return will you be my wife?''
5372And what may that be?"
5372And what says Mr. Congreve?
5372And who should come bursting in at the door but my Lord Comyn?
5372And who was he, that stood so straight upon the quarter- deck, to instil this scum with love and worship and fervour to blind them to such odds?
5372And why was the hair now of a whiteness with the lace of the cap?
5372And would you break our commander of her rank?
5372Another prize?"
5372But why did it appear so old and sorrow- lined?
5372Carvel?"
5372Did I not pull you into the coffee- room of the Star and Garter years ago, and tell you that same?"
5372Do you know how she may be directed to?"
5372Do you know what her answer was, Dorothy?"
5372Do you think I will allow the hope of all England to be staked for a pirate?
5372Eh, madam, must he not shut his eyes?"
5372Even my voice sounded in the distance as I continued:"Will you be the mistress of Carvel Hall, Dorothy?
5372For what is hell if it is not hope dead and buried, and galling regret for what might have been?
5372Had it not been for her happiness do you imagine I would have picked you out of that crew of half- dead pirates in the Texel fort?"
5372Had time changed her?
5372Has your imagination left you, captain?"
5372His name?
5372How can we hope to compete with England on the sea?"
5372How could you so have misunderstood me, Richard?"
5372I said, holding him out,"now where the devil got you that?"
5372Is it the bliss you pictured?"
5372Is it the generations which decide?
5372Is the millennium arrived?"
5372Jones?"
5372Manners?"
5372Manners?"
5372Manners?"
5372May I not see Dorothy?
5372Mr. Allen in London, and here?"
5372Need I say that that woman is you, Dorothy?
5372Patty, if I return, will you be my wife?"
5372Remarking the pain in my face, he added, with a concern which may have been comical:"And she is not married?"
5372Richard,"she said,"do you recall my asking you in the coach, on the way from Castle Yard, for the exact day you met my father in Arlington Street?"
5372She has been watching with me?"
5372So you want to see her?
5372Stephen''s?"
5372Tell me if she is gone away?"
5372Then, as we sat talking in low tones, the door opened, and a hearty voice cried out:"Now where is this rebel, this traitor?
5372Was this but one more of those thousand voices, harsh and gentle, rough and tender, to which I had listened in vain this age past?
5372What''s I done tole you, Miss Dolly?
5372What''s I done tole you, honey?"
5372Where had my fine nobleman been at the critical point of his friend''s misfortunes?
5372Who were they to fight the bone and sinew of the King''s navy in a rotten ship of an age gone by?
5372Why not the sea, indeed?
5372Why should you?
5372Will you tell him so for me, Dorothy?"
5372could you go no higher?
5372has the puppy told you?"
5372have I not always sworn that she loved you?
5369''An American, Mr. Walpole, and from Maryland?'' 5369 ''Is it true that Richard Carvel was in love with Miss Swain?''
5369And Grafton?
5369And afterward--"And afterward?
5369And are you not, then, to see London now you are here?
5369And did he stand in need of much persuasion, captain?
5369And has Mr. Lloyd said nothing of my uncle?
5369And my grandfather?
5369And now, will you go to Maryland and be a fool?
5369And pray where did you get your learning?
5369And pray, Richard, why not''?
5369And proof?
5369And she refused you?
5369And when do you sail?
5369And where is the tail of this comet?
5369And who may Whipple be?
5369And why?
5369And you are still sailing at the ebb?
5369And-- and what did he say?
5369Are you never coming back, Dolly?
5369Are you sure my father saw you?
5369But did you think I would require of you the sacrifice of leaving London now?
5369But your clothes? 5369 Can you blame me for wishing to see you before I leave, Dolly?"
5369Captain Paul,I said, sitting down beside him,"have I deserved this from you?
5369Did you imagine I would let him escape so easily? 5369 Do all the women cheat in America too?"
5369Do you know why I stayed?
5369Drury Lane, sir,he replied, giving me just the corner of a glance;"shall I fetch a coach, sir?"
5369Egad, Charles, is this he the Beauty rescued from Castle Yard?
5369Exguse me, your honour,said the person,"but haf you seen Mister Fox?"
5369Faith, and why not, sir? 5369 Have you ever acted, Captain Paul?"
5369Have you met the Duke of Chartersea? 5369 He would have murdered you-- you, Richard?"
5369How about his honour with whom you supped at Windsor? 5369 How in the name of lineage did she come to have such a father?"
5369If we should take a wherry, Richard,said Dolly,"who would know of it?
5369Is not what so, my dear young lady?
5369Mr. Fox,I said, when he had paused,"before God, do you believe what you are saying?"
5369Mr. Richard Carvel?
5369Now where the devil has your captain flown to?
5369Pray, how did you know?
5369Pray, my dear, whom have you invited to- day?
5369Richard,she said sadly,"why, why did you ever tell me?
5369The commission?
5369To save me from the Duke of Chartersea?
5369What ails you, Richard?
5369What are you saying, Richard? 5369 What is the matter with you, Richard?"
5369What nonsense has Comyn put into your head?
5369What, you will not eat, either, Richard?
5369When was this?
5369When?
5369Where are we?
5369Which would you rather be, Richard,said Dolly to me, under her breath,"Horace Walpole or Captain John Paul?
5369Who put those frightful skulls upon Temple Bar?
5369Who the deuce is he?
5369Who told you of this, Dolly?
5369Why bother over matters that are past and gone? 5369 Why did n''t you go home with your captain?"
5369Why let the little cur stand in the way?
5369Willingly, willingly, my Lord,said Mr. Dix, and added immediately:"Your Lordship will not object to putting that in writing?
5369Win a thousand pounds every night at Brooks''s, or improve your time and do your duty, and get Miss Manners out of his Grace''s clutches? 5369 Would you fight him?"
5369You are going to take the captain to Maryland, Richard?
5369You say that Patty has been ill?
5369You will come, Richard?
5369Your Ladyship believes me versed in no other subject?
5369''What d''ye think I met at Windsor, Miss Manners?''
5369Ah, London Town, by what subtleties are you tied to the hearts of those born across the sea?
5369And had you not strength enough to lift a knocker, sir,--you who can raise a man from the ground with one hand?"
5369And the cause?
5369And what, my dears, do you think he said to him?
5369And when are you coming back?"
5369And who was responsible for all this luxury and laxity?
5369And will you tell me that story of your adventures which I long to learn?"
5369And you know what you are doing?"
5369Are all merchantmen so clean?"
5369Are they likely to be pacified now that we have taken off all except the tea?
5369But where is your captain?"
5369But why had she made me stay in London?
5369But you have written him?"
5369But, sir,"I continued curiously,"what do you know of John Paul''s abilities as an officer?"
5369CHAPTER XXVII IN WHICH I AM SORE TEMPTED"Who the devil is this John Paul, and what is to become of him?"
5369CHAPTER XXX A CONSPIRACY"Banks, where is the captain?"
5369Ca n''t you think of any other way of getting her?
5369Can you or can you not answer a simple question?"
5369Carvel?"
5369Carvel?"
5369Could Mr. Walpole tell him of this club of both sexes just started at Almack''s?
5369Damn it, sir, do n''t you see that it is you, and no one else, who has procured this commission?
5369Damn that fellow Eiffel, and did he thrust you into the Jerusalem Chamber?"
5369Did Captain Paul know him?
5369Did you find the benches hard?
5369Do you know what you are doing?
5369Do you suppose Rigby was appointed Paymaster of the Forces because of his fitness?
5369Et quel dessin, monsieur?''
5369For Dorothy had vowed it was her pleasure to see John Paul off, and who could stand in her way?
5369For his abilities?"
5369For is it not true, gentlemen, that the great masses of England are against the measures you impose upon us?
5369Had his pain been the less because he had not loved her from childhood?
5369Have I shown a desire to desert you now that my fortunes have changed?
5369He must have thought me cursed ascetic, eh, Fitz?
5369How does that strike you for a demi saison, Mr. Buckskin?
5369How is it that you were in prison?"
5369I exclaimed;"gone where?"
5369I suppose you are not making your accusation without cause?"
5369I whispered; for I feared Mr. Marmaduke might appear at any moment;"or do you wish to remain in England always?"
5369If I recommend you, why not, sir?"
5369Is he to live like a Lord of the Treasury upon a master''s savings?"
5369Is it not so, Miss Manners?"
5369Is it possible?"
5369Manners was forcing her to marry Chartersea?
5369Tell me, do they really mean to go as far as rebellion?"
5369Tell me,"says she, pointing at the royal yard of a tall East Indiaman,"did you go as high as that when it was rough?"
5369The messenger--""Yes?"
5369Then came a voice from beyond, calling:--"That you, Carvel?
5369To Rotherhithe-- Redriff?
5369Walpole?"
5369Walpole?"
5369Was it, indeed, possible that I could prevent her marriage with this man?
5369What are you saying?"
5369What interpretation might be put upon a score of little acts of hers that came a- flooding to mind, each a sacred treasure of memory?
5369What is your inference, when he fights a duel about a Miss with my Lord Comyn?"
5369What would he think?
5369What''s he to do?
5369Where were the whims of the quality to lead them next?
5369Which would you rather have been, I say, William Shakespeare or Sir Francis?"
5369Why can we not always be playmates?"
5369Why had she spoken so to Comyn?
5369Why had they ever taken her to London?
5369Why was North himself made Prime Minister?
5369Why was it that he feared my presence in London?
5369Why wo n''t you come back to Maryland?"
5369Why, otherwise, had she come to the sponging- house?
5369Will you come with me?"
5369Would my honour not have Mrs. Marble cook my dinner, and be dressed for Lady Pembroke''s ball?
5369You speak of a young lady in Maryland?"
5369You tell me he will allow Mr. Carvel to see no one?"
5369a new Caribbee?"
5369and"What have you there?
5369are you, too, going to Maryland?"
5369how about the landlord you spun by the neck?
5369said Fox,"you refuse?
12402And was this bright-- this fair domain-- With all its beauty, formed in vain? 12402 No answer still?
12402What if they meet this side the goal?
12402A step at the gate, in the path, on the sill; Did the postman return?
12402A world is waiting for thee: And shall it be deceived?
12402Ah, then, who''d dream that aught so fair, Was fleeting as the Summer air?
12402And archly she said as she gave him his tea,"Where''s the valentine Archy, you promised to me?
12402And if he sometimes noisy grows, What matter, if he''s right?
12402And is not such a scene as this the spell, That lulls the restless passions into peace?
12402And lightnings glared those towering trees among?
12402And who are those men, daughter, helping him down?
12402And will he come and mock me with his booty, And twirl my visions round his bony finger?
12402And will he tell my heart no other beauty Upon the earth is mine-- no other duty, Than for his mandate linger?
12402Are there no duties there to do?
12402Are they our kindred?
12402But avails it aught?
12402But that''s not all-- the horse I ride, The ox I yoke, the dog I chide, The flesh and fish and fowl we feed on Are kindred, too; is that agreed on?
12402But why thus chide-- why not with gratitude Receive and cherish ev''ry gleam of joy?
12402But, slowly she revives-- when, quick as light, His cloak and wig are instantly thrown by-- And what is that that greets her''wildered sight?
12402But, who than Jackson ever yet Has filled a prouder grave?
12402By yon steep stair of ruddy light The sun is climbing fast aloft; What makes the stealthy, creeping chill That hangs about the morning still?"
12402Call back the pure, forgiven, To such a world as this?
12402Can bleeding hearts refrain?
12402Can earthly commerce hush the music of the heart, and shut the door of memory on a friend?
12402Can you know All the good I owe to you?
12402Canst thou read his inmost soul?
12402Canst thou search his secret feelings?
12402Canst thou tell the hidden motives Which his actions here control?
12402Death have hush''d The music that endears, And makes this chill''d existence tolerable?
12402Did angels with snow- white wings come down And hover about her dying bed?
12402Did friends who had left it, to greet her, advance And joyfully lead her to dwell with them, there?
12402Did her gaze rest on valleys and pastures green, Where roses in beauty supernal, bloom?
12402Did she cross the deep Jordan without any fears For all were now calmed on her dear Saviour''s breast?
12402Did strains of sweet music her senses entrance While Earth, with her loved ones, receded in air?
12402Did they bear a white robe, and a starry crown To place on their sainted comrade''s head?
12402Do lilacs bloom in the wild green wood?
12402Do roses drop from the bilberry bough?
12402Dost thou mourn for the hoary- headed sage Who has sunk to the grave''neath the weight of age?
12402Dost thou mourn that the gray and mouldering door Swings back to the reverent crowd no more?
12402Dost thou mourn, that from sacred desk the word Of life and truth is no longer heard?
12402Doth a watcher, pale and patient, Folded from the tempest''s wrath, Wait the coming of my footsteps Down the grave''s long, lonesome path?
12402Earth, air and sky, in dire commune, Demand-- what hand shall guide them now?
12402For the bride''s decay?
12402For the bridegroom''s fall?
12402For the light of youth quenched in the tomb?
12402For the vanquished pride of manhood''s bloom?
12402Giant, young and strong, What impulse heaves thy throbbing breast?
12402Hath the queen of all blossoming beauty Come forth with the early dawn?
12402Have I return?
12402Have we grown wiser?
12402Heed the voice that asks in scorn,-- Thou liv''dst and reign''dst for what?
12402Hey?
12402Hold I the slightest part Within the boundless realm of thy confiding heart?
12402How are you, George, my rhyming brother?
12402How have we used this fleeting year?
12402How long has that hand lain in dust?
12402How long, and yet how long, must this frail bark be driven, While these unsteady, fitful hope- lights given, One after one expire?
12402How long?
12402How stands the case to- day?
12402How, poor frail and erring mortal, Darest thou judge thy fellow- man And with bitter words and feelings, All his faults and frailties scan?
12402I see her soul in yonder star, I see the soft lines of her face, And could God so unkindly mar That angel beauty and its grace?
12402Is he erring?
12402Is it chiming in woe or gladness, Its symphonies sweet and grand?
12402Is it hung in an ancient turret?
12402Is it rung for a shadowy sorrow, In the shadowy phantom land?
12402Is it swung by a mortal hand?
12402John A. Calhoun, my Joe John,"I wonder what you mean?"
12402Just ask the wisest, What is matter?
12402Let me see, Yes;"Can Christians consistently Engage in war against a brother And at the same time love each other?"
12402List-- do you hear that mother speak For her son that is doom''d to die?
12402Lying in your chamber low, Neath the daisies and the dew, Can you hear me?
12402Must it be That all the fools in all creation, And knaves and thieves of every station In life, can call me their relation?
12402No clothes to mend, that you could sew, No beer that''s worth the brewing?
12402On pinions of light did she mount to the spheres Where all is contentment, and pleasure, and rest?
12402Or dost thou ever give to me one thought?
12402Or dost thou mourn that the house of God Has ceased to be a divine abode?
12402Or shall the journey henceforth take A brighter phaze for me?
12402Or shout for war?
12402Or who shall hope, or friend, or foe, E''er to forget that hour?
12402Reason return:--let strife be o''er?
12402Saw ye in your solemn marches From the citadel of death, In our bridal halls of beauty Burning still the lamp of faith?
12402Shall I next six- and- twenty make My journey, love, with thee?
12402Shall warrior plumes bedeck thy crest?
12402She cried--"within thy hidden hands What recompense is waiting me Beyond these naked wintry sands?
12402She held her breath in silent dread, The crimson from her soft cheek fled, Low at her feet he knelt;--"No welcome for the leal and true?
12402She is not dead, she''s shining In robes of spotless white; Why then are we repining?
12402She is not dead-- O never Will sorrow cross her track; She''s passed Death''s darksome river, And who would have her back?
12402That pastor and people have passed away, And the tears of night their graves bedew By the funeral cypress and solemn yew?
12402That the gentle shepherd, who to pasture bore His flock, has gone, to return no more?
12402That the tall and waving grass defiles The well- worn flags of the crowdless aisles?
12402That the wild fox barks, and the owlet screams Where the organ and choir pealed out their themes?
12402Then let me turn, and return too, For I have wandered from my text,-- Well, Mr. Steele, how do you do?
12402Thus I behold thy wondrous arm And own thy works divine: Then what in life or death can harm So long as thou art mine?
12402Thy mistress,--fair Beatrice,--dwells she here?
12402To distant lands to roam and then Dead lips to welcome me again?
12402To gain a life of shipwrecked bliss?
12402To rise no more?
12402Turning the lumbering, mumbling wheel; Which moans and groans as tho''t could feel?"
12402WHAT IS MATTER?
12402We can bear so much in youth; Who cares for a swift sharp pain?
12402What ails the sunshine and the day?"
12402What am I?
12402What say''st thou?
12402What startled you?
12402What though the o''er- labored limbs are weary?
12402When will the flood of human woe, That flows from folly, pride, and sin, Subside, and ever cease to flow?
12402When will the reign of peace begin?
12402When wilt thou come with thy tiny feet That bounded my glad embrace to meet?
12402Where Nature, a paradise to grace, Hath loved her every charm to trace, That man, enamored of distress Should mar it into wilderness?"
12402Where is the Divine compassion That God has shown to me?
12402Where lilies in snowy and golden sheen Fill the air with their heavenly, rare perfume?
12402Where then shall we poor mortals go?
12402Who doubts, that ever saw him strike, He aimed to strike for right?
12402Who never yield or quit the field, Can you blame Charlie then?
12402Why dost thou pour thy sad complaint On the evening winds from a bosom faint?
12402Why flee me, like a debtor in arrears?
12402Why have I lived for this?
12402Why rake out from time''s dull ashes, And before the world display Deeds, it may be, long repented And forgiven, ere this day?
12402Why spend thy zest on barren sands?
12402Wilt peal the bugle- blast afar And urge the cannon''s madd''ning roar?
12402Wilt plead for right, or bleed for wrong?
12402Wilt whisper peace?
12402Years six and twenty have been mine To journey on alone: Shall I as many more repine, Before I am undone?
12402Yet, when he deigned to raise it, Who could resist its power?
12402and the sweets are free-- Wilt thou trill to the touch of outwearied fingers?
12402and to his arm I''ll trust my destiny; For what in life or death can harm The soul that leans on thee?
12402did you not hear that loud shriek?
12402do you not see that wild eye?
12402laughed the miller,"he pauses not and why-- In the sunshine pausing and musing I?
12402may not my body rest Beneath that sod my heart loves best?
12402my letter forget?
12402my love, oh, why No answer to my pleading cry?"
12402oh try to strengthen; Sad?
12402seek in kindness, Then, to win him back to peace; Is he weak?
12402the scene has turned, Where burn those fires now?
12402what have I been doing?''
12402what shall dry that country''s tears Fast falling o''er his fall?
12402when will slumber cease to hold The limbs that lie so still and cold?
12402whose heavy plaint Drifts down the deathly shadows faint, Why weep ye for this risen saint?
37369And now, Master Cadger, what wilt? 37369 And what say you, Arnold?"
37369Are we set upon? 37369 Art reasonable again?
37369Ay, to Warrington on the Cliffs; good!--and warily to be borne? 37369 Benedict-- nephew,"interposed the Lady Maria,"why dost thou fling thy bird so rudely?
37369But you have seen the world, Doctor, and studied, and served in good families?
37369Can this be true, Arnold?
37369Can you describe its virtues, Doctor?
37369Did you not steal that lob, my husband, from me, thief?
37369Dost thou not know that I can put thee in the dust and trample on thee as a caitiff? 37369 Frents, how do you do?"
37369Good lack, Mistress Dorothy, wife, why dost thou bear thyself in such a sort as this?
37369Hast thou an elixir that shall expel a lumbago?
37369Have I not said I could not? 37369 Have you e''er a good cleansing purge for a moulting hawk?"
37369Have you heard the news, mistress?
37369How came you by so rich an inventory, Rob?
37369How dost, friend Rob?
37369How fares it, gentlemen? 37369 How looks the night, Garret?"
37369How many fingers, dame?
37369How should it be other than ready? 37369 I know his name-- they told it to me there-- but his quality and condition, father?"
37369I pray you, Master Captain,inquired the publican, having now regained his self- possession,"what speed at the Chapel?
37369I pray you, what o''clock is it, mistress?
37369If such a thing might be, where wouldst thou take it, Nichol?
37369In the devil''s name, what have we here?
37369In what force, did they say?
37369Indeed!--there is probability in that report,said the Proprietary:"well, and how had they sped?
37369Is it more seemly I should waste my strength on the fruitless labour to clamber up that rough slope, or thou come down to me? 37369 Is the dame likely to be angry, Captain?"
37369Is your breviary needful when you go forth to practise a laneret?
37369Master Shortgrass told me you had need of me,said Garret Weasel, as he now entered the door;--"what wouldst with me, wife Dorothy?"
37369Old, did she say? 37369 Or a nostrum that shall be sure work on a horse with a farcy?"
37369Then thou shouldst do well to despatch a messenger to him,interrupted the Lady Maria, playfully;"dost thou not think he might forget?"
37369Then, in brief,said Nichol Upstake,"I would fain know if you could supply me with Antigua to- day, or aqua vitæ, I care not which?"
37369There is a lie in thy face, John Alward;--the Mattapany road is the broadest and best of the two-- is it not so, Pamesack?
37369There is something far off like the howl of a dog and yet more devilish I should say-- did ye not hear it, masters? 37369 They fired upon you, Captain?"
37369Thou, who hast no more to do than a stray in the pound, what are you fit for, if it be not to do as you are commanded? 37369 Upon what condition?"
37369What brought thee here, Garret Weasel?
37369What can she say, when all is come and gone, but, perchance, that thou wert rash and hot- headed? 37369 What can that signify?"
37369What dost thou mutter?
37369What has become of that man Weasel?
37369What hast thou seen, Captain? 37369 What is that?"
37369What more?
37369What news do you bring us from the old world?
37369What was it?
37369What would you with my husband, Master Baldpate? 37369 When does your provincial court hold its sessions?"
37369Where are we, Pamesack? 37369 Wherein might it be obeyed, my Lord?"
37369Who and what is this Master Secretary that hath set the maiden of the Rose Croft to look upon me with an evil spirit? 37369 Who be these, sir?"
37369Who dwells here?
37369Whose can it be else?
37369Why dost thou not join in the burden?
37369Why not?
37369Why was I not told of this?
37369Why, Garret, vintner, art asleep, man?
37369Will you, mistress? 37369 Would you have the gauger''s wife, sister?"
37369You are sure, Doctor Debor, these were Sinniquoes you saw?
37369You give credence to these idle tales?
37369You have late news from England?
37369You have witnessed this yourself, Arnold?
37369You will obey this high behest? 37369 You will speak to my father?"
37369And did he not bring his sobriety with him from the very bosom of the land you rail against?"
37369And then the woods!--what pallet hath colours for the forest?
37369And, besides, what sort of an enemy do we fight?
37369Are you not steeped in wickedness and abomination by evil- consorting with this copper Captain, and this most horrid wood ranger?
37369Art thou such a dizzard as to tempt my anger?
37369But these whirring and whizzing ghosts and their cronies, that fly about one''s ears like cats, and purr and mew like bats-- what am I saying?
37369But who the countless charms can draw That grac''d his mistress true?
37369But you must have heard it before this?"
37369Can you suspect such intercourse?"
37369Canidius, That from Terentum, and Brundusium, He could so quickly cut the Ionian sea, And take in Toryne?
37369Did I not say true when I tell you it is not my nature to soar in de clouts?"
37369Did I not see the very cask on''t at Trencher Rob''s?
37369Did n''t I see both him and his trumpeter last night at the Crow and Archer, with all their jin- gumbobs in a pair of panniers?
37369Did they find it easy to purchase their powder and lead in Albany?
37369Did you not beguile me last night with a base lie?
37369Did you not hear that shot, woman?"
37369Did you not practice upon me, you faithless, false- hearted coward?"
37369Did your instructer In the dear tongues never discourse to you Of the Italian mountebanks?"
37369Do you admit the promise, my child?"
37369Doth not the devil keep his quarters there?"
37369Fairly, I hope, as you deserve?
37369For my sake, pretty hostess, you will allow him to sup with us?
37369Friends, you all saw these things?"
37369Garret, how comes it that you did not tell this matter to your wife, as I charged you to do?"
37369Had he come hither before you sailed?
37369Has Fendall, or any of his confederates had commerce with this house, Captain Dauntrees?
37369Has your goodman, honest Garret, come home yet, dame?"
37369He lives near this troubled house?"
37369He remembers me?--a blessing on his head!--and he wears well, Master Skipper?"
37369Hither, Natta-- there is the wench on the pillion-- who could serve thee with a better grace than that?"
37369How can you look me in the face, knowing him, as you do, for a most shallow vessel, Captain Dauntrees?"
37369How dar''st thou reprove me, boy?"
37369How does the world use thee?
37369How fares it with thee, Master Skipper?"
37369How goes the night with you dame?"
37369How is it, Arnold?
37369I do not soar in de clouts?"
37369I were a fool to be vexed because I could not read the riddle of a maiden''s fancy: how should such fish of the sea be learned in so gentle a study?
37369Is he more personable in shape or figure?--goes he in better apparel?
37369Is he taking in sail?--is he seeking an anchorage?
37369Is it not so, Arnold?"
37369Is it not well named, my lady, and superlative cheap?
37369Is it that he hath a place in the train of his Lordship?
37369Is n''t that a bird?
37369Is the Chapel ready for our service?"
37369Lend me thy lantern quoth a?
37369Look around you: is Anthony Warden so incapable, or so hurtful to your service that you might find plea to dismiss him?"
37369Look at Arnold there: is there a more temperate, orderly, well- behaved liegeman in the world than the ranger?
37369Nine, said you?
37369Now to what wench, ask you?
37369Now what scent art thou upon, Nichol Upstake?
37369Now, what set thee to jogging so early, Dickon?
37369The Lieutenant at the fort, doubtless, told thee that we were absent last night on special duty at his Lordship''s command?"
37369The Proprietary remained for some moments silent: at last, turning to the ranger, he inquired--"What dost thou know of this house, Arnold?"
37369The hostess bent her head down, as the Captain desired, when he said in a half whisper,"Send me a flask of the best,--you understand?
37369Thou dost not spurn the strong waters, Kate of Warrington,--nor the giver of them?"
37369We were thronged to- day; was it not so, Arnold?"
37369Were it safe, think you, to wake him?"
37369What call you your great compound, Doctor?
37369What crotchet is this?"
37369What devil of mutiny is abroad now?
37369What do you seek on the wold?"
37369What does Kate of Warrington in this neighbourhood?
37369What dole hath he done this flight?--what more wealthy knave than himself hath he robbed?
37369What have you to do with the flavour of the news?
37369What makes you here?
37369What new commodity, honest mistress, shall I find with Rob?
37369What point of duty calls on us to baulk the skipper in his trade?
37369What reason was given by the Northern Indians for joining in this scheme?"
37369What servant would your Lordship displace?
37369What will she say in the morning?"
37369Whence comes he?"
37369Where do you say you have spent the night?"
37369Where dost thou come from?"
37369Which of us has not, dame?
37369Who is this Secretary of my Lord''s private chamber?
37369Who showed them the path to my cabin, that I must be driven out at this hour?"
37369Why are you angry, that you scowl so, Master Rob?"
37369Why do you loiter there?"
37369Why is not Albert in your train?
37369Why should my birth- day be so remembered that all the town must be talking about it?"
37369Will that content you, Blanche?"
37369Would''st thou play at thine old game, and sack the town, and take the daintiest in it for ransom?
37369You agree with me in this, Mistress Weasel?"
37369You comprehend?"
37369You dullards, could n''t I have told you it was the Dutch Doctor,--if your fright had left you but a handful of sense to ask a question?
37369You have no counsel for me?
37369You have the eatables safe and the wine sound, worthy Weasel?--Nicholas,"he said, speaking to the Lieutenant--"are our horses saddled?"
37369You have, doubtless, had great experience?"
37369You heard of this,--father?"
37369You said you would be merry; shall we not have a song?
37369You will spare me Garret, dame?
37369You would have a peep at my aurum potabiles in dat little casket-- my multum in parvo?
37369Your hand, Master Verdun-- I think so you said?"
37369_ Martin._ And what is that?
37369are we set upon, comrades?"
37369exclaimed Dauntrees, with affected astonishment,"would you tarry to do your duty to Mistress Dorothy?
37369exclaimed the Cripple, as a frown gathered on his brow;"what is he?
37369exclaimed the Cripple;"what''s in the wind?"
37369exclaimed the priest, with the alacrity of his native French temper, as he took the assailed damsel by the hand,"what have they to say against you?
37369exclaimed the skipper,"you have lost no whit of that railing tongue I left with you at my last venture?
37369inquired Dauntrees;"when have we the moon?"
37369no hawk''s eye upon thy path?"
37369or is that broken English of his more natural to the province than my plain speech, that he should claim the right to chide me for my behaviour?
37369said Rob with a low- toned chuckle that shook his figure for some moments, and almost closed his eyes;"hath he not his court in the Chapel?
37369said the Proprietary;"with what weapons?"
37369she shouted at the top of her voice:"friends, are ye?
37369that I can drive thee from the province as a vile outlaw?
37369were the publican''s first words.--"Does she suspect us for a frisk to- night?
37369what have I done to redden thy brow?"
37369what was their success?"
37369where do you come from?"
37369why was I seduced upon this fool''s errand?"
37369you pelieve yourself on a bank, up on a stage, before de rabble rout?
5729A BRIDAL veil?
5729Ai n''t she jist one fair clipper?
5729All within twelve hours of New London, are n''t they?
5729And YOUR name?
5729And YOUR name?
5729And the young man with her?
5729And what is it you so wish to do, Filiola?
5729And what is your name?
5729And which is to be mine?
5729And you are going to let me know you better, are n''t you, dear?
5729And yours?
5729Any more than YOU do, miss?
5729Are you going to jump ship too, little captain?
5729Are you in the habit of chasing whirlwinds?
5729Are you prejudiced, my dear?
5729But how do you expect to drive back all that distance with only one horse? 5729 But your companions?"
5729Can you carry ALL OF US?
5729Can you skate, Peggy?
5729Could n''t you come out on the electric car every morning?
5729Daddy, will you make a truce with me?
5729Did n''t know I was an esquire, did you, Jerome? 5729 Did n''t she do it beautifully?"
5729Do I look the maiden all forlorn as the result?
5729Do you hear me? 5729 Do you mean to tell me that there are many as heedless and foolish as she is?"
5729Do you think I am likely to?
5729Do you want to sell Pepper too?
5729Does n''t he make a perfectly darling girl, though?
5729Eh? 5729 Eh?
5729Fo''de Lawd''s sake, Miss Peggy, what yo''bown''fer ter do? 5729 Ginger?
5729Golly, but she''s one breeze, ain''she, sah?
5729Good Lord, where DO they all come from, Peggy? 5729 Have you any orders, miss, about her?"
5729He is Julius, JUL- I- US, do you understand?
5729How could he help it?
5729How do you do, Mr. Bolivar? 5729 How do you know there are stockings there, anyway?"
5729How does the tide set in that middle arch, coxswain?
5729How''s that, Stewart? 5729 Howyo''gwine mak''dat colt drink?"
5729I sign the truce, sweetheart, for one year, but I want a detailed report every week, do you understand?
5729I wonder if I shall know a horse''s hock from his withers? 5729 I''d do anything, ANYTHING for you-- you know that, do n''t you?"
5729In heaven''s name who IS that girl?
5729Is he her brother?
5729Is n''t he the dearest brother a girl ever had?
5729It all sounds most enticing, but do you know I have another girl to think about? 5729 Kyant yo''just give her a hint dat yo''s a yo''ng lady and we- all''s mistiss?"
5729Leave Severndale and all this and go away to a SCHOOL?
5729May I really?
5729Minerva, Minerva, HAVE you ordered your mourning? 5729 Mr. Dove, do you know a man named Steinberger?"
5729My gracious, Peggy, do you nearly break your neck every time you take a fence?
5729NOW will you try to get away from us?
5729Not one?
5729Now what yo''gwine do wid him, honey?
5729Oh, Compadre, when did you come? 5729 Oh, HAVE you seen Pepper and Salt?"
5729Oh, Peggy, is n''t it the dearest place you ever saw?
5729Oh, Tanta, could n''t we make some sort of a bargain? 5729 Oh, Tanta, may I?"
5729Oh, does n''t it make you just want to cry to see them?
5729Oh, has anything happened to Salt, Dad?
5729Oh, my bonny one, my bonny one, how can I send you away?
5729Oh, ought I?
5729Oh, there are so many we love best,she laughed,"that we''d never dare ask them all, would we, Polly?"
5729Oh, would you really let me teach her?
5729Peggy Stewart, why will you have so many good things all at once? 5729 Peggy, dear, can you enlighten us?"
5729Playing OUT? 5729 Please, sah, wha''s his name ef taint Jule?"
5729Salt?
5729Shelby, Shelby, how did it happen? 5729 So this is heyday and holiday, dear heart, is it?
5729Thank me? 5729 That bright red stone in the buckle; how can you consider THAT MOURNING?
5729Them?
5729Then you are exactly five months older than I am, are n''t you?
5729Then you''re Miss Stewart from Severndale, ai n''t ye?
5729Was this little person who talked in such a matter- of- fact way abouttaking on new hands"his little Peggy?
5729Well what did you hope to get for her?
5729Well, I guess I have, and are n''t they wonders? 5729 Well, what SHALL I do with you?"
5729Well, why not?
5729Well, you have a black skirt, but have you a waist and hat? 5729 What SHALL I do with all three of you?"
5729What ails that blunderbuss? 5729 What are you hatching for your old Dad''s undoing, you witch?"
5729What changed yours?
5729What does Nell most need?
5729What for?
5729What has happened, son?
5729What is it, Little Mother?
5729What the mischief is he trying to do with that tub anyhow?
5729What will the ladies say?
5729What''s doing? 5729 What''s stirred you up, old man?"
5729What?
5729Where is home?
5729Where is she?
5729Who is Nell?
5729Who said fried chicken?
5729Who said we could n''t eat any more?
5729Who says Severndale is n''t all right?
5729Why who in this world can that little chap be?
5729Why''m, ain''we jist right? 5729 Why, Minervy,"cried Peggy, really distressed,"How COULD you?"
5729Why, what under the sun do you want, Happy?
5729Will he really come?
5729Will it not be possible for you and your aunt to grow very deeply attached to one another? 5729 Will they be good to you out yonder?
5729Will you come to the carriage?
5729Will you go into the market and get what you''d like from Mr. Bodwell? 5729 Wo n''t yo''jump, missie?"
5729Would you mind calling me just Peggy? 5729 Yes, HOW old are you?"
5729Yes, and you?
5729Yes-- I''ll tell you later, but is n''t it too funny for words?
5729You want me, miss?
5729''What''s done happen?
5729Ai n''t she a clipper?
5729An''Miss Peggy, honey, Johanna she gwine be ma bride''s maid, an''does yo''reckon yo''s got any ole finery what yo''kin giv''her?
5729And Polly Howland?
5729And how is the knee?"
5729And is n''t she beautiful?
5729And it is such a beauty, is n''t it?
5729And on the old Olympia?
5729And the Olympia''s personnel?
5729And the eyes?
5729And the handsome girl?
5729And where the mischief do YOU come in on this show- down?
5729And you would better buy a black veil; not crape, it is too perishable; get nun''s veiling, and--""Nun''s veilin''?
5729And yours?"
5729As Peggy and Polly looked out over the bay and up the river that perfect morning Peggy cried:"Oh, Polly COULD anything be lovelier than this day?
5729As she ran up the four steps giving upon the lawn she asked half laughingly, half seriously:"Heavy weather, Daddy Neil?
5729At first, Mrs. Howland was not aware of their absence, then becoming alive to it she asked:"Connie, dear, what has become of Aunt Janet and Polly?"
5729Barometer falling?"
5729But WHERE did he get those clothes?
5729But WHO can she be?"
5729But is n''t he a dear?
5729But may I offer you something more?
5729But please ma''am, is YO''a widder''oman?
5729But who must decide the question, dear?"
5729But you, my child?
5729Ca n''t you hear me?"
5729Can Minervy''s"mourning"be described?
5729Can they spoil a girl?
5729Can you join us?"
5729Could n''t Peggy come to us three days of the week and work with Captain Pennell and me, and then I come out three to learn to ride?"
5729Could n''t you have spread it out over several meals and let us have it on the instalment plan?"
5729Could she, Polly, ever hope to do so?
5729Could there, after all, have been any kindred drop of blood in their ancestry?
5729De Empress daid?
5729Did you coat the bit with the melted sugar as I told you?"
5729Did you sell the other, or only lend him?"
5729Do n''t you envy me?
5729Do n''t you know Katherine?
5729Do n''t you know me?
5729Do n''t you love them, every inch of them, from the fighting top to the very anchor chains?
5729Do n''t you want to come and see them?"
5729Do what?"
5729Do you hear?"
5729Do you know they are to be entered in the horse- show and the steeple- chase this fall?
5729Do you know what it means?
5729Do you mean to tell me you wrote those letters''?"
5729Do you want to yank me out of my coat?"
5729Great, is n''t it?"
5729Guarded?
5729Harold?"
5729Have n''t they any better sense than to let her clamber up on that rail?"
5729Have they all been born since my last visit?
5729Have you been teaching your girl navigation?"
5729Have you ever seen a more magnificent figure?
5729Have you lived here long, Miss Stewart?"
5729Have you, too?"
5729He knew perfectly well what to expect, but why that strange groaning and creaking?
5729He say, please ma''am, come quick as Shazee kin fotch yo''fo''de Empress, she mighty bad an''--""What has happened to her, Bud?"
5729He''s saying-- what''s that?
5729House afire?"
5729How about it?"
5729How about too many names, old boy?
5729How are you planning to see it?"
5729How are you?"
5729How could I a- been so light- minded?"
5729How could they have been guilty of thus slighting their adored young mistress?
5729How could they help it?
5729How could we help it?
5729How dey gwine know yo''s our young mist''ess?
5729How did ye guess it?"
5729How had she ever done it?
5729How shall you get back to your place?"
5729I ca n''t leave that child vegetating here any longer, yet who will come to live with her or where shall I send her?"
5729I dare say you will think it odd, but my companions are mostly four- footed ones, though I am-- what shall I call it?
5729I wonder if other girls''names can be twisted around into as many picture puzzles as mine can?
5729I wonder if she would want a literally''broken''horse?
5729I wonder why it IS so, Polly?
5729I''ll never forget you and I wonder if I shall ever hear of you or see you again?"
5729If so wisely ordered in some respects, why not in all?
5729If so, where?
5729Is it possible after all these years?
5729Is n''t it pretty?"
5729Is n''t it queer how just a little thing will sometimes turn your plans all around?"
5729Is n''t she a beauty?
5729Is there any end to my nicknames?
5729Is this your carriage?
5729Is yo''know de time?"
5729It did not seem possible, yet how COULD two people look so alike and not have some kinship to account for it?
5729It does n''t seem just right, does it?"
5729It is a Russian wolfhound, is n''t it?"
5729Kin YO''see de clock, Mis''Jones?"
5729Let those lobsters from the''Chi''beat us out?
5729Like the very dickens?
5729MOST need?
5729Ma Lawd, wha''Massa Neil gwine do to we- all when he hyar DAT?
5729Most need?
5729Mrs. Harold blushed like a girl as she asked:"Have my sins found me out?"
5729Mrs. Harold pulled a love- lock as she answered:"You train your colts, girlie, and they are the better for their training, are n''t they?"
5729Mrs. Harold smiled approvingly and Polly cried:"Yes, does n''t it?
5729Must the old order of things which she so loved, and all the precious freedom of action, give way to something entirely new?
5729Neil Stewart paused, looked at her a moment and asked abruptly:"Peggy, how would you like to go to a boarding school?"
5729No?
5729Nun''s veilin''?"
5729Oh, Dad, did you know they could jump and run like that?"
5729Oh, Shashai, Shashai, is thy heart reached only through thy stomach?"
5729Oh, Shashai, will you never learn manners?"
5729Oh, how did it?"
5729Old Jerome who was serving her in the pretty delft breakfast- room took an old retainer''s privilege to ask:"What''musin''you, honey- chile?"
5729Peggy, baby, what have you done with my little girl?"
5729Please do n''t think me inquisitive, but would you mind telling me something about your horses?
5729Poor little Peggy, how could she analyze it?
5729Presently he asked Peggy:"Do you think you could handle a launch, little girl?"
5729Pulling up her own span she said to Jess:"Oh, Jess, how CAN any one treat them so?
5729Shall I call him?"
5729Shall you ride cross or side?
5729She must have slipped in while we were sound asleep, and oh, I do n''t wonder we slept after that dance, do you?"
5729She--""What dat yo''tellin''me, baby?
5729Shelby will bear me out in that, wo n''t you?"
5729Should Peggy be sent to school?
5729Slipping to his side she said:"Are n''t you proud to be the very first to wear it?
5729Something doing?
5729The admiral of the fleet, the captain and the officers straight down to the very stokers?
5729The colt shook his head impatiently as though asking:"Wherefor the need?
5729Then the young girl broke into a perfect ecstasy of delight as she cried:"Oh, how do you do it?
5729Then, it changed suddenly as she asked:"But where is Doctor Claudius?"
5729Then:"How do you do, Aunt Katharine?
5729Thought you''d get off scot- free, did you?
5729WE all do, do n''t we?
5729Was not Daddy Neil beside her, and in her private opinion the finest looking officer present?
5729We''ve got to get around that, have n''t we?
5729Well why not?
5729What do you call ten people besides yourself?"
5729What do you say, sons?"
5729What do you think?
5729What fo''yo''bring Roy up hyer?
5729What kill her?"
5729What sort of people can they be, any way?"
5729What was it in the girl''s voice which commanded obedience?
5729What''s de matter?
5729What''s that?"
5729What''s the hour?"
5729What?
5729What?
5729When breakfast ended Mrs. Harold said:"Can you young people give me about two hours out of your day?
5729When did you do it?
5729Where de Empress at?"
5729Who had taught her to ride like that?
5729Who under the sun would take his part?
5729Who''gwine feed an''clothe and shelter dose pore lambs?
5729Whoever taught ye?"
5729Whom should he choose?
5729Whose sons are you?
5729Why does n''t he head inshore?"
5729Why have we never known of Severndale?
5729Why not?
5729Why, Nelly, have you been ill?"
5729Will they understand what a prize they have got?
5729Will you come to the surrey?"
5729Will you give me just one more year of this glorious freedom?
5729Will you shake hands with me, miss?
5729Will you wire your people that you''re going with us?
5729Wonder if there are any more?
5729Would n''t I have been ashamed of myself now?"
5729Would you like to try Star, Miss Polly?
5729Yet how solve the problem?
5729Yo''gwine start hawsestealin''?"
5729Yo''hear ME?"
5729You and Tzaritza and Shashai?
5729You dear, dear boy, were n''t you simply petrified when you saw that darling child plunge overboard?
5729You mean ginger?
5729_ I_ can put it into words, or sing it, but you two?
5729_ I_''S a cullured person, but she''s jist pure nigger, yo''hyar me?"
5729cared for?
5729chaperoned?
38477A disappointment then to the Thanefords?
38477A week?
38477About what time of the day was that?
38477About what?
38477Am I to pass or not?
38477An accident?
38477An assailant then?
38477And that is your last word?
38477And then?
38477And was the second will, the one in my favor, also kept in this box?
38477And when you again came to the library door Miss Trevor was standing there and Effingham was gone?
38477And yet the cypher had certainly started to uncode; what could have thrown me off the track? 38477 Any marks of violence?"
38477Any particular questions?
38477Are you going to be at home within an hour or so? 38477 At Miss Trevor''s request?"
38477At my return, or because I am seeking you out at the''Hundred?'' 38477 Brief?"
38477But about the arrest?
38477But afterwards?
38477But how and why?
38477But there is a door from the pantry into the short passage that leads to the library, is n''t there?
38477But without the key- word where would you get off?
38477But you would n''t put her down-- I mean on the strength of your general observation-- as predisposed to that sort of thing?
38477By the way, have you dined?
38477By whom?
38477Can you assign a cause?
38477Can you spare me a few moments?
38477Can you walk?
38477Cocaine powder?
38477Could you tell how long?
38477Did Eunice offer any objection to the change?
38477Did anyone, besides Mr. Eldon, know that a later will-- the one in my favor-- had been made?
38477Did he give you any reason to think that he did n''t know his own mind, or that the time would ever come when he would n''t know it?
38477Did she ask you for anything?
38477Did you ever hear,he asked,"that in his younger days Fielding Thaneford was considered to be an expert in the science of optics?
38477Did you know of the master- key?
38477Did you notice that no allusion was made, on either side, to that singular metal rest?
38477Did you see him?
38477Do n''t you see it in his face?
38477Do you happen to recall the medical testimony given at the coroner''s inquest by Doctor Williams of John Hopkins? 38477 Do you make anything of it?"
38477Do you mean for a visit?
38477Do you mind opening up the room?
38477Do you notice anything peculiar about those dates?
38477Do you remember the story of Christian and his fellow pilgrim, Hopeful, imprisoned in Giant Despair''s stronghold of Doubting Castle? 38477 Do you remember,"she asked,"a series of numbers that I got from Mr. Thaneford the day he died?"
38477Do you suppose that anyone else-- especially among the other servants-- knew about the master- key and where it was kept?
38477Do you think I ought to go to the hearing and testify?
38477Do you want to tell me what the numbers were?
38477Five minutes perhaps?
38477For example?
38477For how long?
38477For what purpose?
38477Granting all your premises-- why?
38477Had you ever noticed any premonitory signs-- you know what I am trying to say?
38477Had you not been warned by Mr. Francis Graeme not to trespass upon his property?
38477Has Mr. Eldon been acquainting you with the particulars of the family history?
38477Have you any theory about the Sigma ray itself?
38477He bought some article, or articles, from you?
38477He wants to say something?
38477His tardiness then excited no surprise?
38477How about Effingham''s master- key; did you ever hear of it?
38477How about Thaneford himself?
38477How about it, Jem?
38477How about the pridellas in the windows-- the little ventilating apertures?
38477How about you?
38477How can anyone say? 38477 How did Mr. Graeme''s matchbox come into your possession?"
38477How do you know? 38477 How do you translate the cypher?"
38477How does it strike you?
38477How long have the Hildebrands been at the''Hundred''?
38477How long were you away?
38477How long were you in the house?
38477How so?
38477How so?
38477How would_ you_ like it settled?
38477I ca n''t read a word of it; what does it mean?
38477I do n''t want to run any risk,I said,"How about coming back to- morrow to make a thorough job of it?"
38477I found it in the road nearly opposite S. Saviour''s Church?
38477I wonder how much he really knew about the whole affair?
38477I wonder if you would mind spending a few days here at the''Hundred?''
38477I''m John Thaneford-- what then?
38477Indenting?
38477Is it John?
38477Is that it?
38477Is there any use in going on with the inquiry?
38477Just what are the conditions under which exposures to the rays of the sun may be dangerous? 38477 Just what do you want?"
38477Mis''Eunice, she done tole me to- gib''er----"The master- key?
38477Mr. Graeme''s funeral?
38477My dear Cousin Hugh, are you oblivious of the fact that this is the South, and that we are kin?
38477Not necessarily caused by the blow on the temple?
38477Nothing has been heard of John Thaneford, I suppose?
38477Now tell me, you black scoundrel, where the secret door is?
38477Now then, Hugh, do you see?
38477Oh, then it was not in his immediate possession after all?
38477On your second visit to the room?
38477Or anybody else?
38477Or perhaps you would prefer rye or bourbon?
38477Or rather its effect upon the physical organism?
38477Or would you be willing that Little Hugh should enter upon his inheritance with this cloud hanging over it?
38477Possibly, you have forgotten that Betty is now my wife?
38477Rather fortuitous, do n''t you think? 38477 Ready?"
38477Remember that?
38477Shall I have your traps sent over to the''Court?''
38477So that is what killed him?
38477The making of the first will, or the fact that he had determined to alter it?
38477The series of numbers, you mean? 38477 Then I''ll have to take the risk?"
38477Then it did n''t occur to you that you might use the master- key?
38477Then it is a perfectly plain case?
38477Then it was no particular secret, the master- key and its hiding place?
38477Then you did give it to Miss Eunice?
38477Then you were in the house?
38477Then, according to your theory, it is the Sigma ray which is the active lethal agent in sunlight?
38477To whom?
38477Was Eunice persistent in her endeavor to change Mr. Graeme''s resolution?
38477Was Mr. John Thaneford aware that there had been a will drawn in his favor?
38477Was there an autopsy?
38477Well, how is this for an hypothesis?
38477Well?
38477Well?
38477Well?
38477Were you with Campion all the time he was in the house?
38477What are you doing on this property?
38477What did he mean then by stupefying you with whiskey, and placing you, bound and helpless, in the big swivel- chair?
38477What did you buy of him?
38477What did you do then?
38477What do you say to our walking over there and making a reconnaissance?
38477What do you suppose is the meaning of that contraption?
38477What is the answer?
38477What man?
38477What more do you want of me?
38477What new evidence?
38477What next?
38477What proof can you give that the article in question was lost and a reward offered for its return?
38477What right had you to force such an issue?
38477What sort of business?
38477What then?
38477What then?
38477What time was that?
38477What was it that killed all the Hildebrands throughout two generations?
38477What was the ninth letter, the alphabetical rock upon which my fine theory had gone to pieces? 38477 What was there to say?"
38477When Miss Eunice sent you up stairs to get the ammonia was she wearing any kind of a wrap?
38477When and where?
38477When did all this happen?
38477When did that particular conversation take place?
38477When?
38477Where are you going?
38477Where did Miss Trevor go?
38477Where is he?
38477Where is it?
38477Where was Effingham?
38477Where was I? 38477 Where was that box when you first came in the room and knelt by my-- my father?"
38477Which implies that she must have paid a previous visit to the room and carried the box away?
38477Which is it to be?
38477Who is it then?
38477Who is the man, and what were the circumstances of his arrest?
38477Who knows? 38477 Who unlocked the library door when Doctor Marcy returned with my Cousin Betty?"
38477Who was it that gave the alarm?
38477Whuffer you pick on ole Effingham?
38477Why did you disregard that injunction?
38477Why not?
38477Why should I be?
38477Why should it be any more than with our own class?
38477Why should n''t it have been the very combination we are looking for?
38477Why the right- of- way?
38477Why?
38477Will you go on and tell me, Betty?
38477Will you_ tell_ me?
38477Would n''t they knock off for dinner at noon? 38477 Yardley and Randall and Horace and Richard, and Francis Graeme?
38477Yes, and then?
38477Yes, the Terror had entered the room; do n''t you recall how close I kept to the wall when I was trying to reach you? 38477 Yet you summoned enough courage to knock?"
38477You are quite sure that Mr. Thaneford does n''t object?
38477You don''t-- you do n''t mean?
38477You got no reply to your knock?
38477You knew that you were breaking the law?
38477You mean about cutting out John and putting in Mr. Hugh Hildebrand?
38477You mean that I must accept, or let everything go to the younger Thaneford?
38477You mean that her death recalls the mystery of Francis Graeme''s taking off?
38477You mean that you wo n''t keep your promise?
38477You mean that you''ve had the funeral?
38477You mean whiskey?
38477You remember the day Marse Francis died?
38477You say that you left Effingham to guard the library door while you went to meet my Cousin Betty?
38477You wo n''t tell me?
38477A pretty girl?
38477Admitting the possibility that the ghost has not been truly laid, would you still insist upon remaining master of''Hildebrand Hundred''?"
38477An atmosphere of heavenly peace and quiet that I must needs disturb with the blunt question:"And now what was it that killed John Thaneford?"
38477And now he was lingering for that maddening hundredth part of a second over Betty''s hand; I heard him whisper:"The supper waltz then?"
38477And what then?"
38477And yet I knew that I had found a real clue; how in the world had I lost it again?
38477And yet he was of her class; they must have been playmates from childhood, the Thaneford acres marched with the Hildebrand holdings-- why not?
38477Are there any traps leading to the cellar, any scuttle- panels in the dome?"
38477Are you ready, Eunice?"
38477But I suppose that hypothesis is open to the same objection-- the continued presence of the two men who were mowing the lawn?"
38477But how to find the key to the mystery?
38477But surely if someone took the lead-- well, why not yourself?"
38477But what sort of a purpose?
38477By the way, you never received Betty''s telegram?"
38477Cynical?
38477Did you receive it?"
38477Do you carry a watch?"
38477Do you realize, by the way, that we are now on Thaneford property?"
38477Do you recall how I kept close to the wall, so as to avoid getting in the path of the direct sunlight?
38477Do you remember my speaking of the supreme distinction of her handclasp; how it seemed to fit so perfectly?
38477Do you remember?"
38477Do you understand?"
38477Do you?"
38477Eldon?"
38477Exactly when?"
38477Except one thing: Would it be a cloudy day?
38477For perhaps half an hour we sat quietly thinking and smoking; then----"There is nothing I can say or do; understand?"
38477For what could any sensible person make of THANECOUICDD- FKL?
38477Graeme?"
38477Has it ever been intimated to you that there was anything peculiar about the death of your cousin?"
38477Have you ever suffered the unutterable pangs of jealousy, you who read these words?
38477Honestly now, Hugh, do you think you would have been clever enough to have figured it out?"
38477How could the Terror be always ready to strike, and yet, in one case at least, wait half a century for the opportunity?
38477How do I know?
38477How much did she know concerning the mystery of Francis Graeme''s death?
38477I admit the justice of your censure, dear reader, but have you ever endured even the smallest pang of the jealous man''s agony?
38477I do n''t suppose, Hugh, that I need to particularize any further in this direction?"
38477I followed the direction of his glance, and read the initials in one corner--"J. T.""What do you make of it?"
38477I murmured an unintelligible assent; what was coming now?
38477Is n''t that so, doctor?"
38477Is that true?"
38477Is that what you had in mind?"
38477Lovely view, is n''t it?"
38477Miss Trevor had fainted----""When?
38477Of course he must be speaking to somebody; who could it be?
38477Only it''s curious----""Yes?"
38477Or was he dead at that particular moment?
38477Or was it that neither fact had any real relation to the death of Francis Graeme?
38477Poor Eunice, you say, died here?"
38477So the old man died?"
38477Thaneford?"
38477That is your idea?"
38477The florists call it----""Yes?"
38477Then came the reactionary thought:"But what can she be thinking of me?"
38477Then she took the master- key from him----""Why did she wait so long?"
38477Then, as though a bit ashamed of his boorishness, he added:"You will have no objection, I suppose, to my coming over to the''Hundred''to see him?"
38477To what extent was she an accessory to the crime, if crime it could be proved?
38477Understand?"
38477Was it the accident of his falling and striking his head on that same iron box, or was he attacked from behind?
38477Was the postern- door closed?"
38477Well what was I to do?
38477Well, what would have been the use?
38477What had happened?
38477What if five men had died, under unexplained circumstances, in that particular room?
38477What more could the heart of man desire?
38477What more do you want to know?"
38477What particular article did you sell to Zack Cameron?"
38477What possible hypothesis can we establish to account for Richard Hildebrand''s half century of immunity?
38477What put you back on the track?"
38477What sort of flowers did you cut on your visit to the garden?"
38477What was I to do?
38477What was the impression that was being made upon me?
38477What word could it be but''Thane Court,''the ancestral home of the Thanefords?
38477What would have been the use, since the line of communication had been broken?
38477What''s the answer?"
38477When was it that he hunted you up in Philadelphia?"
38477Where is it?"
38477Where on earth does the company procure such tasteless provender?
38477Where was that iron despatch- box when you first entered the room, and saw-- well, what you saw?"
38477Which was the predetermining cause, and which was the final effect?
38477Who is the coroner, Doctor Marcy?"
38477Who knows....""What?"
38477Why had I never realized before that, in spite of my urban upbringing, I was a born countryman?
38477Why is it that smiles and tears lie so close together in the lilt and swing of a fine waltz tune?
38477Why?
38477Why?
38477Why?"
38477Will you come back to dinner this evening?"
38477Yes, and I would have accepted it like everyone else-- only for one thing----""Yes?"
38477Yet why should I feel any particular degree of surprise?
38477You are willing?"
38477You have heard of''coke''?"
38477_ Where was that despatch- box when I first entered the room and found Francis Graeme lying dead upon the floor?_ I do n''t know, do you?"
38477_ Where was that despatch- box when I first entered the room and found Francis Graeme lying dead upon the floor?_ I do n''t know, do you?"
38477a telegram?
38477what''s that?"
46195''Puddin''Tame''?
46195''Where do you live?''
46195A julep? 46195 About Danton and the possibility of a duel?"
46195About your wedding, old man?
46195Above mine? 46195 After all, are you so_ very_ old?"
46195Am I the man, may I ask?
46195And Aunty Landis?
46195Any man? 46195 Are they engaged?"
46195Are you angry with me about anything?
46195Are you awfully disappointed? 46195 Are you dodging?"
46195Are you looking for me?
46195Are you''tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor''?
46195Aw, who said it was? 46195 Betty, are you awake?"
46195Betty,he said,"do you mind my remarking that you look adorable to- day?"
46195Betty,he said,"has it yet occurred to you that you are really my wife?"
46195But I understood their falling- out was due to outside influence-- wasn''t it?
46195But what can you expect of a man who''s never been on the Eastern Shore?
46195But why should n''t I carry you into the house?
46195But_ why_ did you do it-- masquerade in the Landis farmhouse? 46195 By whom?"
46195Can you see the compass?
46195Charlie Danton? 46195 Did any one ever tell you that you talk as a prima donna ought to talk, but never does--''soft, gentle, and low''?"
46195Did n''t I say? 46195 Did you call me, Bob White?"
46195Did you dream for a moment I would n''t?
46195Did you sleep well?
46195Did you stock the_ Wisp_ for a polar expedition, Bob White?
46195Disobedient?
46195Do n''t you?
46195Do you deny that you have an appointment with some one near here?
46195Do you know about Miss Yarnell?
46195Do you know, Bob White, I''ve often thought it would be delightful to sail like this with a ra- ther good- looking-- comrade?
46195Do you know, I made a remark something like that to Miss Yarnell the other day, and she took it quite seriously?
46195Do you like me-- my clothes, I mean?
46195Do you see the dunes there-- the second hill? 46195 Do you think that sort of arrangement is dignified?"
46195Does the foot hurt?
46195Does the poor boy want a bite to eat?
46195Eh? 46195 From Sandywood Station?"
46195Good!--but what?
46195Have n''t I told you about my teacher? 46195 Have you a pistol?"
46195Have you been waiting long?
46195Have you finished? 46195 Have you hurt yourself, dearie?
46195His district?
46195How are we heading?
46195How could she guess?
46195How do you know it was n''t about this very thing?
46195How is the sprained ankle? 46195 How''s the foot?"
46195Hum- m."Can you say as much?
46195I frightened you, did n''t I? 46195 I''m not welcome, then?"
46195If I tell you that, will you tell me why you wo n''t take me?
46195If we reach Cape Hatteras in the dark like this-- abruptly-- what will happen?
46195In three days?
46195Is any man foolish enough to decline an invitation from you?
46195Is it a game you want to play, kiddy?
46195Is n''t it about time to come about?
46195Is that a compliment?
46195Is that all?
46195It isn''t-- very likely, is it?
46195Land? 46195 Madge and Charlie Danton,"she went on--"do you think they''re really in love?
46195Marry her? 46195 May I ask_ what_ wo n''t do?"
46195May I come to- morrow evening to see how you''re getting on?
46195Miss Yarnell?
46195Must I ask you again? 46195 Not Landis?"
46195Not if I bent''on bended knee''to you?
46195Now we are in the pirates''den,said Betty,"and that log is a treasure- chest full of-- of what?"
46195Of him?
46195Oh, yoah daughtah? 46195 One at each end-- do you see, Polly?
46195Only to- day?
46195Phidias?
46195Please take me with you when you go sailing this afternoon?
46195Rather lively, was n''t it? 46195 Really?
46195Really?
46195Sandywood?
46195Shall we bring the luncheon?
46195She eyed me in that brooding, blazing way of hers-- you remember how she looked when she tried to ride over us on the road the other day?
46195She was outside?
46195She''s rather a headlong sort, do n''t you think?
46195The envelope? 46195 The handsome cousin Polly spoke of the other day?"
46195The ocean?
46195The other ankle, then?
46195Then it was real?
46195Then you admit-- that I do n''t?
46195Then you intend to sail off again to-- to do what you like?
46195Then you''re Elizabeth Cary-- the Miss Cary of Baltimore that people made such a fuss about when you came out last year--''the''Cary of''the''Carys?
46195There may not be any harm_ yet_, but wo n''t there be?
46195Thieves?
46195To put me ashore?
46195Was it as near a thing as that?
46195Was she afraid of the pirate chief?
46195Well?
46195Were you making fun of me, Mr. Puddin''Tame?
46195What did she mean?
46195What do you think of the cook?
46195What is it?
46195What is it?
46195What is your pleasure?
46195What the devil do you mean?
46195What was that I heard?
46195What was that? 46195 What''s her name?"
46195What''s the matter?
46195What''s up, Miss Yarnell?
46195What? 46195 Where are we bound?"
46195Where did you get this gorgeous dinner- set?
46195Where did you learn Emerson?
46195Where do you live? 46195 Where''s Betty?"
46195Which way did you say she went?
46195Who is it, then?
46195Who would n''t be kind to you, Betty? 46195 Who''s there?"
46195Who''s to go?
46195Who?
46195Who?
46195Why bother with the sloop?
46195Why not?
46195Why''celebrated''rather than''beautiful''or''stunning''or downright''handsome''?
46195Why''celebrated,''Miss Yarnell?
46195Why?
46195Will there be a picnic, really?
46195Will you be afraid to face a head sea going home, Betty?
46195Will you come, then, at half- past six?
46195Will you marry me, Betty?
46195Will you promise to wake me in an hour? 46195 With me?"
46195With whom?
46195Would you like to go over her?
46195Yes, that''s so-- even for you?
46195You are n''t bashful, are you, Mr. Puddin''Tame?
46195You did? 46195 You do n''t know Baltimore, then?"
46195You do n''t suppose she''ll think we''re drowned? 46195 You mean that Madge Yarnell ran away with Charlie Danton, and solved the problem?"
46195You''ll be sure to wake me soon?
46195You''ll dog me across country?
46195You''re going back?
46195You''re really married?
46195You''re the man, ai n''t you? 46195 You''ve never been on the Eastern Shore before?"
46195You''ve talked to her-- as Danton talked to me?
46195You-- that dreadful knife!--you are n''t hurt?
46195You?
46195Your wife?
46195A drop of water?
46195A man who helped me make fast the_ Wisp_ says this is Currituck Sound, and the city(?)
46195A_ billet doux_ already?"
46195Am I rushing in where angels fear to tread?"
46195And did Madge Yarnell''s peculiar conduct have any connection with the matter?
46195And do you know that for the last two or three days I''ve been thinking I''d give my hope of salvation to sail like this with Betty Landis?"
46195And even if she did, what is it to her?"
46195And impertinent Harry Cleborne?
46195And what''s this cunning cubby- hole between the rooms?"
46195Are n''t you talking about her?"
46195Are you a witch?"
46195Are you content?"
46195Are you tired?"
46195Betty, what do you know about her?"
46195Betty, who taught you to dress like that?"
46195Betty?
46195Bob White, do you know it was only the day before yesterday you picked me out of the brook?"
46195Bob White, you have n''t come around here like a Romeo to-- to say good- by, have you?"
46195But how do you know that?
46195But is she old enough-- is she in a position-- to understand?"
46195But is there any harm in that?"
46195But what if I have?
46195But what reason can there be except that I do n''t care to risk your life in a boat I know nothing about?"
46195But what will Betty say?"
46195But what''s the reason?"
46195But why did you pretend?"
46195But, Betty, why tell a tarradiddle, even to get rid of her?"
46195By the way, where did you learn French?
46195Ca n''t I do something?"
46195Ca n''t you see it?"
46195Can you came down a minute?"
46195Can you imagine why she pursued me so?
46195Can you-- mean what you say?"
46195Cresap?"
46195Critic?"
46195DEAR MR. PUDDIN''TAME: Shall we have it for a secret that you''re coming to supper at our house to- morrow?
46195Dear-- will you kiss me?"
46195Did you know that?"
46195Do n''t I know it''s a nickname?
46195Do n''t you like it?"
46195Do n''t you see?"
46195Do they teach that in the''little red- roofed schoolhouse''in Maryland?"
46195Do you ask me?"
46195Do you know anything about her?"
46195Do you know what it is?"
46195Do you mind my asking who your mother was, Betty?"
46195Do you remember it?
46195Do you see that cape two or three points south of east?
46195Do you see that little oil- stove, there?
46195Do you suppose she really recognized your writing paper?
46195Do you think you can drink a cup of hot coffee?"
46195Do you think you can get away?"
46195Do you think you''re strong enough to hold the wheel, Betty?"
46195Does n''t he dare show himself?"
46195Fessenden?"
46195For how long?"
46195Have you broken your leg?"
46195Have you everything you want?
46195Have_ I_ done anything?"
46195Her and you- all come togethah, did n''t yo''?"
46195His friends on the big yacht?
46195Hot coffee?
46195How would Madge Yarnell judge him?
46195I give you my word I never dreamed of a trick-- who would?"
46195I mean, do you think their love will last?"
46195I''m afraid you''ll be sick-- and then what should I do?"
46195If you had n''t screamed in time----""Did I scream?"
46195Is it anything important?"
46195Is it your ankle, dearie?
46195Is n''t it fair you should have confidence in me, a little?"
46195Is n''t she the girl who tore down the flag?"
46195Is n''t that so?"
46195Is n''t this just too tiresome?
46195Is she waving at us, do you think?"
46195Is that yo''all, Miss Betty?
46195It''s our marriage certificate, is n''t it?"
46195Madam, may I ask if he is so attractive that you wish he had come instead of me?"
46195Mr. Thomas Fessenden, do you realize that you signed that document some twelve hours ago and did n''t even read the name just above your own?"
46195Near here anywhere?"
46195No?
46195North is where that mark is, is n''t it?
46195Not a man, but_ you_?"
46195Now do you understand why I want to go with you?--why I_ must_ go?"
46195Or is it a joke?"
46195Perhaps you''re in his confidence?"
46195Pinck, why_ did n''t_ you remind me?
46195Please, what''s your name?"
46195Say, Mister, ai n''t your name Puddin''Tame?"
46195Say, ai n''t you Puddin''Tame?"
46195She was almost a child, true; but was she near enough to childhood to be beyond the breath of scandal?
46195That''s rather-- pronounced, is n''t it?"
46195Then what in the world has become of-- of-- ah--""Of a certain other lady?"
46195Then whom could his dark hints be about?
46195Trust you?
46195Was n''t it perfectly shameless?"
46195Was she merely whimsical, he wondered, or had she acted with a motive?
46195Was the Virginian a subtle joker, acting at the instigation of Polly or Mrs. Dick?
46195We can all go honeymooning together, eh, Madge?
46195We''re through supper by half- past seven, and----""Supper?"
46195Well,_ were_ you afraid-- afterward?"
46195What could he do?
46195What could that idiot, Cleborne, have been driving at in his talk of Betty?
46195What did that mean?"
46195What did these things mean?
46195What do you see, Little Brighteyes?"
46195What in the world is all this about?"
46195What is it?
46195What was the fellow talking about?
46195What will she do?"
46195What would thoughtless Polly Cresap say when she learned that he and the farmer''s pretty daughter were not drowned after all?
46195What''s come over you?"
46195What''s that?
46195What''s the matter?"
46195What''s up?"
46195What_ is_ all this?
46195Where is he?
46195Who are you, I say?"
46195Who are you?
46195Who was she?"
46195Why did you do that?
46195Why do you want so much to go?"
46195Why?"
46195Will you put a cushion under it for me?"
46195Will you?
46195Will-- will you kiss me?"
46195Wo n''t you''light down, ma''am?"
46195Would the intimacy wrought of the night''s peril and companionship avail?
46195Would you care to come to supper with us, really?"
46195Yo''''member Jersey Molly, Miss Betty?
46195Yoah friends beat you- all consid''abul, did n''t they?"
46195You are n''t afraid?"
46195You are n''t vexed with me still, are you?"
46195You did n''t see her at Sandywood Station, did you, Tom?
46195You did?"
46195You did?"
46195You heard what Pinckney Cresap said just now?"
46195You know it, of course?"
46195You mean you think I ought to marry her?"
46195You''ll meet me there, honest Injun, Betty?"
46195You''re a Marylander, then?"
46195You''re a Northern man, are n''t you?"
46195You-- married?
46195You_ did_ steal away, did n''t you, ve- ry quietly?"
46195demanded Cleborne,"Betty?"
46195do n''t I know that smile?
22113A Southern ranch?
22113A responsibility, Aunt Katherine?
22113Ai n''t they a- goin''with you, Miss Peggy?
22113An''what_ she_ been a- sayin''ter yo''?
22113And Rosalie? 22113 And do you expect to cling to childish habits all your days, Peggy dear?
22113And do you suppose there can ever be anything like it again?
22113And have I ever ordered any changes made in her rules?
22113And what, may I inquire, is your very worst then? 22113 And you really raised those splendid horses yourself?
22113Are n''t we to wait until Daddy Neil comes back?
22113Are n''t you even going to tell Polly?
22113Are they to go to the hop?
22113Are you apprehensive of her becoming so?
22113Are you ready, Aunt Katherine?
22113Are_ ours_ abused, Polly?
22113Assembly? 22113 At stake?
22113At what time do you start?
22113But how did you know she wished you?
22113But when will they learn about their leave? 22113 But why do you call him by that absurd name?
22113But, Mrs. Harold, are n''t first classmen really-- well-- don''t they come in for greater privileges? 22113 Ca n''t the boys ever get leave to visit their friends?"
22113Ca n''t you and Peggy give it to us on a small scale? 22113 Could n''t she have telephoned?
22113Could n''t ye just knot hup them tails a bit, and mebbe braid that fly- away mane down along the crest? 22113 Do n''t you think Juno Gibson is handsome?"
22113Do you always give them sugar? 22113 Do you mean to say they understand and will really bring Jess here?"
22113Do you really wish me to show you something of their intelligence, Mrs. Vincent? 22113 Do you think I''m going to let this side- wheeler shipwreck me?
22113Do you think they always live up to the agreement?
22113Do you think we are a lot of crazy schoolboys and expect to settle our disagreements with a regular fist- a- cuff bout? 22113 Do you want to try it again?"
22113Does Polly know?
22113Eh? 22113 Going in for the trapeze?
22113Had he seen the cab?
22113Has she ever attacked anyone before, Peggy?
22113Have I been a responsibility to you since you came here? 22113 Have you ever had a_ boy_ cover your hands with kisses?"
22113Honest?
22113How about Stella Drummond?
22113How long have you been observing this wonderful wonder?
22113How many five- stripers are there?
22113How''d I know, Mist''ss? 22113 I wonder why not?"
22113If I go to the Columbia Heights School what will Ralph say? 22113 If you had no other, what could you do?"
22113Is n''t it funny you girls never saw him while you were at Severndale?
22113Is n''t it good just to be alive on such a day?
22113Making a list of all your dances and Christmas frolicings, little- er- ahem--, Miss?
22113Miss Howland, what was the cause of the wild shrieks which disturbed me a moment since? 22113 Occupy_ this_ suite?"
22113Oh, Daddy, did you really meet Mrs. Harold and Polly, and who was with them?
22113Oh, Polly, will you? 22113 Oh, are they such, wonders as all that?"
22113Oh, are you a- speakin''to me, ma''am?
22113Oh, how did you make them do it? 22113 Oh, indeed?
22113Oh, my bonny one, how could you?
22113Oh, was he a man? 22113 Oh, what is it all about?"
22113Oh, what is it? 22113 Oh, who does it?
22113Oh,_ where_ did they come from?
22113Peggy, how_ can_ you have such a savage creature near you? 22113 Polly, what happened?''
22113Poor Tzaritza, you did what you believed to be your duty, did n''t you? 22113 Poor Tzaritza, you got into trouble because I lost my temper, did n''t you?
22113Shall I?
22113Shall you go home at Easter?
22113Snap says he''s just wise to everything, and did you ever see anything so absurd as those clown tricks the jackies taught him?
22113So you have come into the school to set its standards and correct its shortcomings, have you? 22113 Suppose we did shout and screech?
22113Tanta,asked Polly,"do you know that Lily Pearl Montgomery and Helen Doolittle are here at Wilmot with Helen''s uncle?
22113Those wavering, clear, electric beams, Who''ll guess how much their message means? 22113 To win and hold a love so pure, A faith so stanch, so strong, so sure-- To gain a confidence so rare-- What honors can with these compare?
22113Understanda horse?
22113Well, we''re_ here_,was Polly''s undisputable statement as she snuggled down under her bed- covers,"and now that we are what do you think of it?"
22113Well, what is it to be this morning?
22113What I gwine do wid all dis hyer truck, Missie- honey?
22113What dat yo''say? 22113 What did you say to her, baby?"
22113What for? 22113 What is it, Polly?"
22113What is it-- Little Mother?
22113What is this?
22113What time are we to go to Severndale tomorrow, Little Mother?
22113What you a- talking about, you little fool nigger?
22113What''s brought you down here, honey?
22113What''s that?
22113What''s the matter? 22113 Where is Helen tonight?"
22113Where is John?
22113Where''s Jess?
22113Which, the midshipmen or the stripes?
22113Why did n''t you tell me you''d never ridden?
22113Why do they start at night?
22113Why must they rush back on the very minute?
22113Why not? 22113 Why, he wants you and the Little Mother and Durand and Ralph and Jean and Gordon--""Gordon?"
22113Why, what do you mean, Helen?
22113Why? 22113 Will a fish swim?"
22113Will they stand like that without being tied?
22113Would you really like to know, dear? 22113 Yes, are n''t they just the dearest ever?
22113Yes, it is exceedingly damp today, but do you think we ought to allow externals to affect us?
22113Yes, what_ did_ she want?
22113_ Are n''t_ we doing something? 22113 _ Not yet?_"emphasized Miss Sturgis.
22113A lump of sugar awaited each obedient animal, and Jess asked:"What yo''wantin''ob Jess, baby- honey?"
22113A real_ man_?
22113Ai n''t she done come in fer her breckfus yit?
22113Am_ I_ all wrong, or is Aunt Katherine different from everybody else?
22113An''ma chile gotter wait a hull hour pas''her breckfus time jist kase Madam Fussa- ma- fiddle ai n''t choose fer ter git up?
22113And Juno?
22113And Nelly?
22113And all the others, too?
22113And big?
22113And if they are to go out to Severndale tonight how will they manage?"
22113And that west wing and its contents?
22113And was n''t Tzaritza regal with Rhody?"
22113And was the experiment a red letter one?
22113And what of Nelly?
22113And who''s taken Gumshoe''s place this year?
22113And you surely do not think I do it to invite observation?
22113And you''re out for basketball too?
22113Are n''t we encouraging him and helping on a good show?"
22113Are you ready for your breakfast, Aunt Katherine?"
22113Are you so very superior to your companions-- you and your protà © gà © e?"
22113As he settled Rosalie in her seat he asked:"How many Miss Boylstons have you got at Columbia Heights?"
22113Bol''var?"
22113But are_ you_ going to dust?"
22113But had she ever given that fact a serious thought?
22113But what is wrong, Miss Peggy?
22113But what under the sun did Mrs. Vincent want of you, Peggy?"
22113CHAPTER XV IN SPRING TERM"Well, we all came back to earth with a thud, did n''t we?
22113Ca n''t we go right out there?"
22113Ca n''t_ you_ show me how, Dawson?
22113Can they all do that?
22113Did he say yes?
22113Did he wear a moustache?
22113Did n''t it take you forever and ever to teach them?
22113Did she"understand"those in her stable?
22113Did they"love"her?
22113Did you notice it, girls?"
22113Did your ears burn this afternoon, Peggy?
22113Did your father find it out, and what did he say?"
22113Do Peggy and Polly resemble''meal sacks?''
22113Do n''t you perfectly dote on her girls?
22113Do n''t you think the study of one''s fellow beings intensely interesting?''
22113Do you know what it will mean if I report you at Annapolis?
22113Do you remember Fräulein Shultz who was here the first year school opened, Marjorie?"
22113Do you think she will tell me?"
22113Do you understand it?"
22113Does n''t she seem an awful lot older than the rest of us?
22113Find the outlook inspiring?"
22113Good Lord, are you going to let drive with a gatling?
22113Great Scott, do you think I''m going to let_ this_ beat me out, or that yelling mob out yonder see me put out of commission?
22113Had Helen''s cousin returned, but when?
22113Had she miscalculated the depth of the pool after all?
22113Has she become incapable of voluntary locomotion?"
22113Have you ever seen one_ do_ it?"
22113Have you lost your ability to sit at the head of my table, daughter?"
22113Have you never heard them?
22113Have you no street cleaning department in your illustrious city?"
22113Have you not done a great deal for them?
22113Her father?
22113How about it?
22113How am I ever to be a co- ed in Annapolis and a pupil here at the same time?
22113How are you, Doctor?
22113How did you come out in Math and Mech?
22113How do you keep them so ravishingly white and your nails so absolutely faultless?
22113How far ahead do you reckon they are?"
22113How is Lily?"
22113How many women ever think of doing so?
22113How under the sun came I here?"
22113How would it fit with skirts all bunched up under it?
22113How would it seem to have no Severndale to run out to?
22113Howsoever, some folks seem to think they have, and what I am trying to get at is,_ have they_?
22113I know her and she knows me, do n''t you, old girl?"
22113I wish I were that Indian- Chinese- Jap god, what''s his name?
22113I wonder why?"
22113If you wish to know why I carried Helen out of the room I did it because she was running--""Doing what?
22113Is n''t it about time you began to think about growing up?
22113Is n''t it always better to believe a person honest until we prove him a thief, than to go the other way about it?
22113Is n''t that too good to believe?"
22113Is that what you say down here?"
22113Is there a weak face among them?
22113It was all said half- jestingly, half- seriously, but Juno gave her head a superior little toss as she answered:"And go looking like a meal sack?
22113It was jist gwine ter make some of dem pots bile over if it had a- kep''on, yo''hyer me?
22113July, August, and, let me see, twenty- five days of September since I left you?
22113Just as a sample of what we may hear some day?
22113Just then Mammy Lucy stuck her white- turbaned head in at the door to ask:"Whar dat chile at?
22113Keep Tzaritza out of the house and relegate the Sultana to the servant''s quarters?
22113Kingdom- come, is yo''think I''se come ter ma dotage?
22113Let''s see, which have we had most to do with since we came here twenty- four hours ago?
22113Lily, did the milliner put the trimming on the box and forget to send home the hat?"
22113Llewellyn?"
22113Llewellyn?"
22113Llewellyn?"
22113Mammy, is Aunt Katherine ready?"
22113May I walk to the gate with her?"
22113Mrs. Stewart laughed a low, incredulous laugh, then queried:"And you the daughter of Neil Stewart and a little Navy girl?
22113Mrs. Stewart looked about her in undisguised disappointment and asked:"Is_ this_ the capital city of the State of Maryland?
22113Mrs. Vincent had more than once said to herself:"Well, I certainly have four oddities to deal with:_ Who_ is Marjorie?
22113Mrs. Vincent nodded forgiveness, then turning to Stella, asked:"Were you here all the time, Stella?"
22113Mrs. Vincent smiled as she slipped an arm across Polly''s shoulder and asked:"Are you to be my newest girl?
22113My Lawd, what done possess Massa Neil fer ter''vite her down hyer?
22113My little girl, my little girl, have you needed Daddy Neil as much as this?"
22113My little girl, will you accept some suggestions regarding your toilet?"
22113No Peggy to pop into Middie''s Haven?
22113No boon companion to ride, walk, drive, skate with, or lead the old life which they had both so loved?
22113Now that''s the limit, ai n''t it?
22113Now, Polly, what is it?"
22113Of course, it is all wounded pride and affection, but who is to correct it?
22113Oh, which girls are you going to invite?
22113Oh, why ca n''t the parents think of the children they have brought into the world but who did not ask to come?
22113Or dream the wondrous tale they tell?
22113Or was it something in the fine, strong face which children and animals in common all trust with subtle intuition?
22113Pardon me if I make a note of it, and-- and--_how_ do you spell accomplished, Captain Stewart?
22113Peggy and Polly flew to him crying:"Did he say yes?
22113Peggy asked:"Are our horses ready, Dawson?"
22113Peggy slipped her arm about her and asked:"What makes you look so sober, Nellibus?"
22113Peggy was not ungrateful, but what had befallen the usual order of things?
22113Peggy, has she ever been separated from you before, dear?"
22113Peggy, were n''t you petrified when you struck''eight bells''at the hop, for the death of the old year?
22113Poor little Nelly Bolivar would have been a modest, sleek little Junco compared with the birds of paradise(?
22113Rate more?
22113Sat on a pin?"
22113Say, how is it to get out of my coat, Bantam?"
22113Shall I hail him?"
22113Shall I say anything to Shelby?"
22113Shall I tell you the message the flashes carry?
22113She might be Polly''s and Peggy''s friend-- well and good-- but who was she?
22113Slipping an arm about each girl as they sat beside her she asked:"What do you think of our horses, and of Dawson?
22113So now smiling across the table she said:"So you have decided to consider my suggestion, Neil?"
22113So you accept the bargain?
22113Stella, is your chafing- dish ready?"
22113That you never have and never could do anything to invite criticism?
22113The following Tuesday was Hallow E''en and where is your school- girl who does not revel in its privileges?
22113The horse''s well- being or mine?
22113The next second she was holding Peggy in her arms and almost sobbing herself as she besought her to tell"who done hurt ma baby?
22113Then Peggy asked:"What do you think of the girls?
22113Then after a moment she resumed:"O Shashai, what_ is_ the matter with everything?
22113Then she asked:"Wo n''t your father come East this spring for commencement?
22113Then the self- elected dictator spoke:"Peggy, dear, are you not to drive with me?"
22113Then with a guileless smile remarked:"Now you do n''t sesso?
22113There are-- how many of us?
22113There was a slight pause, in which Juno gave an impatient toss of her handsome head and asked in a bitterly ironical voice:"Are they?
22113This year''s?
22113To be"loved"by one?
22113Turn her over to your discipline, or crush her with one snap of my jaws?"
22113Twenty- four?
22113Understand?"
22113Vincent?"
22113Was n''t she the limit?
22113What are they trying to do now?"
22113What could she do alone?
22113What do they mean?"
22113What does become of all the children of divorced parents in this land of divorces?
22113What is it for?
22113What is likely to become of_ her_, poor child?
22113What is to become of that little pepper pot with all her loving impulses and self- will?
22113What makes you so tight with your news, any way?
22113What more could a conscientious school Principal ask of her riding master?
22113What possessed the woman to antagonize everyone with whom she came in touch?
22113What was the meaning of it?
22113What''s at stake, Little Mother?"
22113What''s rattled you like this?
22113What?
22113What?"
22113When is I see you a cryin''like dis befo''?
22113When they reached her corridor she said to Juno:"Little girl, will you come into my room a moment?''
22113Where did you and Peggy catch and bottle up all your worldly wisdom?"
22113Where did you come from?"
22113Which is the particular He, Peggy?
22113Which of these fellows will be there?"
22113Who but she could fill that office?
22113Who could help loving them?"
22113Whose could it be?
22113Why could it not have gone on?
22113Why did you carry Helen from the room?
22113Why do n''t you quote Helen Taft to us instead of Queen Mary?
22113Why does n''t that man drive him out?"
22113Why in this world should they?
22113Why not?
22113Why not?
22113Why should they?
22113Will any horse come if you know how to call him?
22113Will you let him do so by coming down here with Peggy?"
22113Will you show us?
22113Will you?"
22113With a pious"Ma Lawd- God- Amighty, what done happen?"
22113Within a few moments two girls appeared in the doorway, the taller one asking:"Did you wish to see us, Mother?"
22113Would it be fair?
22113Would it be scorching hot?
22113Would she find a welcome among the Delacys, the Vanderstacks, the Dryers and heaven knows which- or- whats of New York''s glitterers?
22113Would there be moon- light nights?
22113Would you like to drive in?"
22113Yet did you ever_ see_ anything so graceful as those two girls and that magnificent dog when they went over?
22113Yet if she lost sight of them what might not take place?
22113Yet, why not?
22113Yo''hyer me?"
22113You are planning a house- party?
22113You see it is only two weeks off and the Little Mother has not said anything about it, has she, Polly?"
22113You think I am too sweeping in my assertion?
22113You will come again-- yes, often-- and where I can help, count upon me-- always?
22113_ This_ little town?"
22113cried Peggy, aghast,"Tzaritza attacked_ you_, Polly?"
22113who brought you?"
35195A F E."What do you want to do?
35195A F E?
35195All what, Pierre?
35195An''I suppose you know who they war?
35195An''so, Mr Bill Buck, you think thet Jerry Rook hez been a humbuggin''ye?
35195An''why thet, I shed like to know? 35195 An''why?
35195An''ye tell me, Dick Tarleton, they find these sort o''nuts in Kaliforny lyin''right on the surface o''the groun''?
35195An''ye war thar all the time, war ye?
35195And I hope, Afton,retorted the captain, with a jesting smile,"that you have no intention of getting nervous about the matter?"
35195And if he''s let go?
35195And who told you?
35195And why wo n''t it?
35195And--"An''what?
35195Angry with you, Pierre?
35195Arapahoes? 35195 Are they all loaded?"
35195Are they human?
35195Bound for Kaliforny, air ye?
35195But are you sure the noose would close upon his neck? 35195 But how are Marston and myself to get home this evening?"
35195But is he a nigger?
35195But tell me, Pierre, why did you stay from me, and for such a time?
35195But what is the use of it? 35195 But what kept Pierre among''em?"
35195But, Alf; you forget the_ body_?
35195But, what have you done with-- the-- the body?
35195But, why not? 35195 But,"objected Captain Marston,"perhaps they are only the initials of it; and in that case, the question arises, what do they stand for?
35195By one hand or both?
35195Can it be that they have abandoned me to this cruel death?
35195Can you explain to me,asked John,"why I was captured, and why I am held as a prisoner?"
35195Can you make out her hull?
35195Captain,exclaimed Afton,"what is the use of bandying words with this fool?
35195Carry what off? 35195 Choc?"
35195Come, then,said the captain,"are you ready?
35195Did n''t he kum back from Helena along wi''ye?
35195Do n''t you remember,asked Marston,"the English story, which we read together when we were schoolboys, about a mysterious secret society?
35195Do n''t you see the twinkle in the fellow''s eyes? 35195 Do you consider that fact as of not much importance?"
35195Do you dare,he cried,"to call our captain a coward?"
35195Do you see now?
35195Do you think any one might have come along in time to save him?
35195Do you think there''s a coffin?
35195Do you wish it, Choc?
35195Ef it warn''t, what ked a purvoked them to this drefful deed? 35195 For heaven''s sake, madam,"he said, in low but earnest tones,"what are you doing here?
35195Had n''t we better ride back?
35195Had we not better, captain,asked Seacome,"keep as near as we can to the ship until this gale has fallen, and then make the assault?
35195Has your father any family besides yourself-- a son, or_ son- in- law_?
35195Have they ever really made such captures?
35195Have ye seed any one that know''d ye?
35195He will soon be here?
35195How air the thing to be done? 35195 How are you, John?
35195How can I stay there,she said,"while these horrible scenes are taking place?
35195How did you manage to get your card or note into my room?
35195How do you propose to do, Alf?
35195How is it to be?
35195How much longer can you stand it, Choc?
35195How will this answer?
35195How''s best for the hint ter be konvayed to''em? 35195 How_ are_ you, Harry?"
35195I can not tell, that is a mystery to me; and so too his sending me away, and so too several other things; but-- Whose voice is that?
35195I suppose you have heard of my affliction, Miss Rook?
35195I thought I remembered-- or had heard-- something--"Heard what, sir?
35195Injun or nigger, what''s the difference?
35195Is he at home now?
35195Is not your health improving? 35195 Is that true, Rook?
35195Is that you, Harry Marston?
35195Is your gun loaded again?
35195Madam,asked John,"is that man''s arm broken?"
35195May I claim the honour of knowing your name?
35195Most done, ai n''t ye?
35195My father living? 35195 Now, how it came abeout?"
35195Of course,pursued Jerry, after another pause of reflection,"ye heerd all that passed atween me an''that lot o''diggers?"
35195Oh, a bar, war it? 35195 Oh,''tair you, Pierre, is it?
35195Plotting some kind o''a conspyracy, air ye? 35195 Prisoner?"
35195Shall I cross over and make inquiry?
35195Shall we accept the invitation of this unknown friend?
35195Skinned it, too, did they?
35195Some boys, perhaps?
35195Suppose, captain,said Afton, addressing Marston,"we range the` Long Tom''to bear upon her, and give her a shot?"
35195Tell us what do you mean? 35195 The body?
35195The challenger, or the challenged?
35195The men who went out just now then,remarked the elderly man, in an interrogative manner,"were sent to catch him?"
35195The place designated, I suppose, is the Spout on Saint Leonard''s Creek?
35195There was some one, then?
35195Villain yourself?
35195Wal, and what did yur hear?
35195Well, Billy,said the captain,"what luck?"
35195Well, Mr Afton,said Captain Vance, in a pleasant tone, addressing this individual,"where is your prisoner?"
35195Well, he''d bring that up, would n''t he?
35195Whar away?
35195Whar''s Pierre?
35195Whar_ kin_ the gurl be? 35195 What Pierre?"
35195What air Dick Tarleton to me? 35195 What condishun?"
35195What do you mean by that? 35195 What do you mean to do?"
35195What do you propose, Alf?
35195What do you say, John?
35195What do you say, Marston?
35195What do you want?
35195What has happened?
35195What have we got to do with your affairs at this time?
35195What is it, Jerry?
35195What is it?
35195What is that, Rook?
35195What is the cause of the disturbance overhead, Captain Johnson?
35195What is the matter, Captain Vance?
35195What is your plan?
35195What news, father?
35195What o''her?
35195What the ole Nick air ye whisperin''''beout?
35195What then? 35195 What was it about Alf Brandon?"
35195What way? 35195 What weapons do you choose, Mr Coe?"
35195What will you bet you can?
35195What you got thar?
35195What''s fust to be done? 35195 What''s that?"
35195What''s the meaning of all this fine talk?
35195What''s the use of all this argufying?
35195What''s to be done, boys?
35195What''s to be done, boys?
35195What, Alf?
35195What, then?
35195When?
35195Where are Captain Dempster and Captain Marston?
35195Where are the other two?
35195Where can the darned thing be?
35195Who are you, and what do you want?
35195Who can hang longest by the neck? 35195 Who could have told them that Pierre Robideau still lived?"
35195Who goes first?
35195Who is there?
35195Who is this friend of ours who wants to see us, Mr Bowsprit-- I mean Mr Brown?
35195Who made you my master, I should like to know?
35195Who mout they be?
35195Who of ye remembers the spot?
35195Who''d iver sispect? 35195 Who''ll go, then?"
35195Why do you suppose,asked Mr Durocher,"that the stranger is in pursuit of you?"
35195Why shedn''t I?
35195Why, Dempster,said young Coe, seeing that they had passed Drum Point Harbour,"you are not going out upon the bay, are you?"
35195Will you steer, Captain Marston, if you please?
35195Wonder how deep the old skunk has buried him?
35195Ye woud, woud ye? 35195 Yer war, war ye?
35195You do n''t mean to say,said the boatswain,"that Leftenant Bowsprit and them others there have turned agin us?"
35195You do n''t suppose that the old Shylock will yield without a trial? 35195 You here?"
35195You say you knew this place well, sir? 35195 You seem to consider it as granted, by that remark,"observed our hero,"that you will be successful?"
35195You''ll make it appear suicide? 35195 Your father?
35195Yur wo n''t wonder, then, why I tuk so much pains, six years ago, to send yur out o''the way? 35195 ` All for Each?''"
35195A long, low, black and rakish vessel, say you?
35195A prisoner, didst thou say?
35195After some further conversation upon the subject, young Coe asked--"Do you still advise me, madam, to accept this position which is offered to me?
35195After"drinks all round,"Brandon had said:--"Well, boys, I''ve sent for you to meet me here, and here we are, guests; you know why?"
35195Ai n''t he a nice looking gallows bird just now?
35195Air ye in airnest?"
35195Air ye sure''beout it?"
35195All agreed, boys?"
35195Am I to lose six hundred dollars pre- annum, jess for the satisfakshun o''his spite?
35195An''I''spose all the same if I war to tell ye o''t?
35195An''shurly she ai n''t goed across the crik?
35195An''that''s the hole in which ye war hidin'', is it?
35195An''what mout ye a been doin''?
35195An''ye tuk arter the bar, and let the poor young fellar swing?"
35195And what stranger episode had kept them bound in a confidence neither seemed desirous of divulging?
35195And what their purpose?
35195And you have been to California?
35195Are you speaking the truth?
35195But tell me, why did you go there at all?"
35195But there are cares also belonging to the possession of riches; and how will an inexperienced young girl like you know how to meet these?"
35195But what about him?
35195But what knew she of California?
35195But what was this in comparison?
35195Can he not throw up his feet, and by them elevate himself upon the branch?
35195Can you recollect the initials of their password?"
35195D''ye know what refusin''means?"
35195D''ye mean that, Pierre Robideau?"
35195Danger, say you?
35195Dare any of you try that?"
35195Did one of them carry that thin circlet of gold to show she was lost to him for ever?
35195Did you find him dead?"
35195Do it astonish ye to see a man by the side o''his own gurden?
35195Do ye consent?"
35195Do you know his name, captain?"
35195Do you remember Ada Ashleigh, who was one of your schoolmates at the old Manor Quarter school- house situate between Millmont and Drum Point?"
35195Do you surrender?"
35195Doin''a bit of dissinterry as they call it?
35195Ef''t kim to thet, what then?
35195Else why their stealthy movements, and their talking in low tones, scarce louder than a whisper?
35195For what were they going to dig?
35195For what?
35195Has it occurred to you that we have not the password to admit us to the rendezvous?"
35195Has it passed away so soon?
35195Hastily returning to the tree, and stopping in front of the dark entrance, he continued--"Somebidy inside thar?
35195Have you any salts?"
35195Have you got anything better to propose?
35195Have you not a pair of pistols?
35195Hez anybody been hyar?"
35195Himself?
35195His karracktur, I s''pose?"
35195His scheme had fallen through?
35195How are you, friends?
35195How could you doubt me?
35195How d''ye know, gurl, thet they killed a bar?"
35195How had Jerry Rook, a poor white, become a proprietor?
35195How kim ye to be hyar?"
35195How should I?
35195I hain''t no spare beds, or I''d ask you all in; but I s''pose ye''ll be a goin''back wi''Mr Slaughter thar, an''havin''a drink by way o''night cap?
35195I hope that you are not offended with the_ ruse_ which I used to bring you to see me for a short time?
35195I hope you wo n''t be disturbed by my early coming?"
35195I know a way, myself, maybe you''d like to hear it?"
35195I may take''it, may I, by way o''earnest to the bargain?"
35195I need n''t ask whether you are all willing?"
35195I suppose you''re satisfied I''ve won?"
35195I wonder if that is not the password in this case?"
35195I wonder who they are?
35195I''spose ye do n''t want to take that wi''ye?
35195I''ve foun''you at last, hev I?
35195If not, what''s the use of all this palaverin''?"
35195In coorse the hole thing''ud leak out, an''whar''d this chile be''beout his six hundred dollars?"
35195In coorse you''re gwine to take your young''un along wi''ye?"
35195In what other manner could I have spoken?
35195Is that not so?"
35195Is that what you mean?"
35195Is there no hope from hearing?
35195Is your father still living?"
35195Lena, gurl, is''t you?"
35195Let him tell his story, and what evidence can he bring to support it?
35195Maybe she''s strayed up behint the stable or the corn- cribs?
35195Mr Bowsprit,"he exclaimed, turning to that officer,"have you reloaded your gun?"
35195Never say` die''--heh, boys?"
35195No doubt yur did wonder at that?"
35195No hope of his being rescued from his perilous situation?
35195Now, d''ye unnerstan''me?"
35195Now, name yur price; or, shall I fix it for ye?
35195Of course we did n''t mean that; and who''d a thought o''a bar runnin''straight into us in that way?
35195Often had the questions recurred to him:"What is her real position on board of this vessel?
35195Or is it only kept under by the keener agony of revenge?
35195Pierre watched her with eager eyes, with heart beating impatiently, until he felt hers beating against it?
35195Refuse?
35195Retire without showing himself, and seek information elsewhere-- some one living near who could tell him all?
35195Should he return to it and stay till circumstances favoured him with an_ eclaircissement_?
35195Suppose he does swear, what then?
35195Suppose we call back the girl, and let her have a look at him?
35195Suppose you put in too, and see what you can do?"
35195Supposing we have the old scoundrel, and dare him to do his worst, what evidence has he got against us only his own oath?"
35195Tell me-- do tell me quickly-- what has happened?"
35195Tell us?"
35195The girl-- Rook''s daughter?"
35195The grief he should feel for his lost son-- where is it?
35195The hound ai n''t killed that varmint himself?"
35195The precious old pirate; has n''t he bilked us nicely?
35195Then, observing the dust upon his garments, she added,"If I mistake not, you''re a stranger to this part of the country?"
35195To be plain, then, what is the price of such an explanation?"
35195Turning to the latter, he at length spoke--"How long''ve ye been back, Pierre?"
35195Wal, I hope ye foun''what ye hev been rootin''for?"
35195Was Jerry Rook the owner of the pretty house that had supplanted his rude sheiling?
35195Was he a stranger who had taken the wrong fork that had conducted him to a blind trace now run out?
35195Was he never going to return?
35195Was he not your brother?"
35195Was his enemy in earnest, or was it only a grim jest?
35195Was it a long time ago?"
35195Was it the form of a fair girl dimly outlined under the shadow of the trees?
35195Was this certain?
35195We''ve been having a trial of strength here-- who can hang longest by one arm to this branch?
35195Whar kin she be?"
35195Whar kin the gurl hev gone?
35195Whar''s the other four?"
35195Whar?"
35195What answer could she have made to that question her father had asked?
35195What are they?"
35195What are you doing behind me?"
35195What are you going to do?"
35195What can he do?
35195What can it mean?
35195What could he do but make such answer as the lady had sought to obtain?
35195What d''ye intend doin''?"
35195What do you propose doing with him?"
35195What do you want?"
35195What else could they have thought?
35195What for?"
35195What good would it do him?
35195What good''ud thet do ye?
35195What had brought Alfred Brandon back to the cottonwood?
35195What had detained her?
35195What had he best do?
35195What hev they got to do wi''bar- huntin''--a parcel o''brats o''boys?
35195What hev yur get agin him?
35195What is her history?"
35195What ked he hev done, to hev engered them?
35195What say you, boys?"
35195What signify that?
35195What strange chance has brought two such men together?
35195What war they a doin''?"
35195What was seen in that last glaring look?
35195What was to be done?
35195What was to be done?
35195What''s the hurry?
35195When did you get back home?"
35195When did you leave it?
35195Where was the hand to have done it?
35195Who air it?
35195Who air ye anyhow?"
35195Who are these men, sir?
35195Who are you?
35195Who art thou, fair and gentle princess?
35195Who can hang longest with one hand?
35195Who can spring up, seize hold of it, and hang on longest?
35195Who comes from Helena?
35195Who could have cut the rope?
35195Who could they be?
35195Who is he?"
35195Who ked it be?
35195Who the divvel cud a done it?"
35195Who the durnation hez been trespassin''''mong my peach trees?"
35195Who the durnation kin it a- been?"
35195Who the red thunder kin he be?
35195Who''s been squrrl shootin''this time o''day?"
35195Who''s better''n Alf Brandon?"
35195Who, then, could have been the informer?
35195Why do you ask?"
35195Why not at once?
35195Why not have it at once; and from her?
35195Why shedn''t I meet him?"
35195Why should you force me to this?"
35195Why was he avoiding the road?
35195Why was she so late?
35195Will you believe it, Pierre, he once told me you were dead?
35195Will you promise this?"
35195Wonder what it kin mean?
35195Would she accept the title, or correct it?
35195Would she still permit herself to be called"Miss?"
35195Ye hear that?"
35195Ye see how it air, Dick?
35195Ye''ll be knowin''then why this chile ai n''t livin''any more in the ole shanty, but in a good, comftable frame- house, wi''a clarin''roun''it?"
35195Ye''ll stay all night?
35195You are too weak, I suppose, to get upon deck yourself, Mr Durocher?"
35195You have some business, perhaps?"
35195You remember the lad who took charge of your and Captain Marston''s notes and horses?"
35195You''re a gwine to berry somebidy, air ye?"
35195an''by the Eturnal, ye shall be no longer my darter?
35195and what was the use of my speaking with excitement?
35195father, do you think he is dead?
35195he continued, going back towards the porch, still occupied by his daughter;"d''ye mean to say ye seed nobody beout hyar to- day?"
35195he exclaimed, adding a fearful oath;"it''s all very well for them, but what matters the money to me?
35195hev ye tuk leave o''yur senses?
35195how are you, Harry?"
35195is there no alternative?
35195or was it only that same form conjured up by a fancy flickering on the edge of eternity?
35195said the young planter, affecting ignorance of the suggested scheme,"carry the collector off?
35195surely you do not call it good news?"
35195what have you ever done to make him your enemy?"
35195what''s that dog a draggin''out from''mong the peach trees?
35195ye''d speil my plan, wud ye?
35195ye''re agreed beout thet, air ye?
35195ye''ve been a grave- diggin'', hev ye?
35195you''re come to that, are you?
46367A nice sort of somebody, is she?
46367A trunk? 46367 A trunk?"
46367Ai n''t it de troof?
46367Ai n''t nobody comin''to eat suppah with yuh?
46367Ain''it de troof?
46367An''w''ar dat nice floppity white frock?
46367An''yuh has uver so many nice young gem''mans come to see yuh?
46367And am I not to see this mysterious stranger? 46367 And disappoint Phebe?
46367And do you believe there really was a great- grandfather?
46367And give up teaching? 46367 And have you established your facts?"
46367And how goes the school? 46367 And it is yours?"
46367And leave dear old Mammy to her lonesome? 46367 And of course you hurried before that?"
46367And that is what makes you look so happy?
46367And that is why you wanted to consult Judge Goldsborough?
46367And the picked out person does n''t know he is picked out?
46367And their father was?
46367And this time?
46367And what is it you like best?
46367And what is the other?
46367And who do you think is? 46367 And why did you do it?
46367And you are very glad that you can feel an undisputed ownership of the old home?
46367And you have sworn off?
46367And you think Berkley Matthews is like that?
46367And you?
46367Any flaw in the title to Jim Talbot''s property? 46367 Are n''t you glad, Berk?"
46367Are n''t you glad, Linda,she went on,"that you are making a place for yourself in the world?
46367Are you feeling very high and mighty? 46367 Are you going to tell her?"
46367Are you hurt, old man?
46367Are you ill? 46367 Are you really going soon?"
46367Are you really, Berk? 46367 Are you sleepy?
46367As much as you do now?
46367At the eleventh hour? 46367 Aunt Ri,"began Linda as soon as they had turned from the house,"did you dream it was Talbot''s Angles?"
46367Before? 46367 Berk, dear, were you very unhappy, then?
46367Berk,said the girl,"I would n''t live anywhere but on this blessed old Eastern Sho''for the world, would you?"
46367Bound for a walk?
46367Boys or girls do you have?
46367But about the papers; what could be in them?
46367But does the matter of a few months or even years, when you were yet in a state of infantile bewilderment, make any difference?
46367But the cravat?
46367But what are you going to do?
46367But what can we do?
46367But who will get dinner to- day?
46367But, Mammy, what can I do? 46367 By the way,"she added,"are n''t you feeling well these days?
46367By yose''f? 46367 By''us''you mean Mr. Matthews and yourself?"
46367Can I see you privately?
46367Can you wait a few minutes? 46367 Could anything so obvious be dignified by the name of a hint?
46367Could you believe that she would so fail in hospitality?
46367Cousin is it? 46367 Dat bo''ds wi''Miss Parthy an''feeds de chickens?"
46367Dat up in town?
46367Did I?
46367Did he? 46367 Did n''t you have a pleasant drive?
46367Did n''t you promise to sing for me, if I played for you?
46367Did you ever hear of the girl who slept with her head at the foot of her bed and who was roused by feeling something cold on her toes? 46367 Did you ever meet such beautiful hospitality, and is n''t it worth while to find out that it has not entirely disappeared from the land?"
46367Did you find everything all right?
46367Did you have a good trip, Miss Ri?
46367Did you leave everything all right at the farm?
46367Did you see that there was a crocus by the side of the walk? 46367 Do n''t you hear every bit of town news from Miss Ri?
46367Do n''t you think he was actually heroic to give up the claim?
46367Do you know if he took any papers from his trunk to leave behind?
46367Do you know,continued Bertie,"whether Mr. Jeffreys intends to live there?
46367Do you like it here? 46367 Do you mean I shall poison her or use a dagger, Lady Macbeth?"
46367Do you really mean, Miss Ri, that you get everything you want in this world?
46367Do you suppose I doubted the truth of your feeling for her?
46367Do you suppose he has gone to fetch the keys of the city?
46367Do you suppose it will be cough medicine this time?
46367Do you think I''ve been unkind, unfair to Mr. Jeffreys? 46367 Do you want to do that?"
46367Does n''t Mr. Jeffreys make his appearance about this time?
46367Does n''t saving a man''s life come about as near settling any existing score as a thing could?
46367Ducks or no ducks?
46367For good?
46367Give it up? 46367 Glad?
46367Good morning, ladies,the voice came with pleasant eagerness;"you''re the ladies from Sandbridge?
46367Have I been speaking for Phebe all these years to be deprived of her now on account of so slight a thing as Verlinda Talbot? 46367 Have you sent out any more of your work?"
46367He did? 46367 He has a perfect right, has n''t he, Aunt Ri?"
46367He has?
46367How did you manage to do it? 46367 How do you know that opportunity will ever be afforded me?"
46367How do you know?
46367How is it you are taking Miss Parthy''s tasks upon yourself?
46367How long since you came?
46367How many acres are there?
46367How was yours sent?
46367How were you going?
46367How would it do to follow up Berk? 46367 I could n''t,"returned Berkley meekly,"for I have n''t seen you since, and-- Do you happen to know Mr. Jeffreys?
46367I do n''t know; yet, if he removed the papers, how could he help seeing whose they were? 46367 I do n''t suppose there is any chance of my catching Mr. Matthews in town before he leaves?"
46367I may be wrong, but it does seem to me rather like turning Linda out of house and home, Grace, does n''t it?
46367I wonder if he started from the Jackson House or his office? 46367 If she could n''t care for such a man as Jeffreys why should I expect her to care for me?
46367In perjuring himself, for example?
46367Is I happy? 46367 Is he something pleasant?
46367Is it only because you are busy? 46367 Is n''t he a fine old fellow?"
46367Is n''t she wonderful?
46367Is that honestly said?
46367Is that so? 46367 Is thy servant a dog, that he comes merely to be fed?"
46367It is in Hartford?
46367It just suits the day, does n''t it?
46367It might make her really ill, and then who would cook for us? 46367 It was generous of him, do n''t you think?"
46367It was n''t a pistol? 46367 It was?"
46367It would, would it? 46367 J. S. D.?
46367Let me see-- Monroe? 46367 Linda, dear,"she said,"would you mind seeing if there is more wood?
46367Lovina, was n''t it?
46367May I go with you?
46367Miss Hill, are you sure? 46367 Miss Hill, could it be possible that it is my trunk?
46367Miss Lindy, yuh ai n''t gwine ma''y dat man, is yuh?
46367New books, are they?
46367No, I do n''t say so? 46367 No?
46367Nor when he will be back?
46367Not Miss Parthy?
46367Not even to Miss Ri?
46367Not very complimentary, is she?
46367Now is n''t that just the way? 46367 Now is n''t this hard luck?"
46367Now, Aunt Ri, what for?
46367Now, Miss Linda,Berkley expostulated,"have n''t I known you as long as Miss Ri has?"
46367Now, what is he driving at?
46367Now, what is it you want?
46367Of course, Mr. Jeffreys, we can be positive now, do n''t you think?
46367Oh, Aunt Ri, it would be perfectly delightful, but--"But what?
46367Oh, but do you think we ought to go?
46367Oh, dear me, the masculine mind does work more deliberately than ours, does n''t it? 46367 Oh, is he?
46367Oh, you have? 46367 On Broad Creek?
46367One of your mysterious errands, Miss Ri?
46367Really, Berk?
46367Really? 46367 Really?
46367Sale? 46367 Shall you be working long?"
46367So it is a serious subject to your mind?
46367Sounds rather ghastly, does n''t it? 46367 Talbot''s Angles?
46367Tell me, Miss Ri, did he bring any sort of credentials with him?
46367That Miss Carroll is quite a pretty girl, is n''t she?
46367That would be expecting a little too much, would n''t it?
46367That you''d rather go with Bertie?
46367That--"That he had asked you to marry him? 46367 Then am I or am I not to consider that you have performed a selfish act in coming all the way to Boxford for me in all this rain?"
46367Then would you go down there to live?
46367Then you probably know all about her home, Talbot''s Angles, do they call it?
46367Then, will you accept it as I offer it? 46367 There''s no need of your knowing, is there?"
46367There''s only one Verlinda Talbot, is n''t there? 46367 Things have happened in this blessed sleepy old place?
46367Tired, Linda? 46367 To do some shopping?
46367To me?
46367Truly? 46367 Unexplored?
46367Verlinda, Verlinda,she said,"I wish I could turn a search- light on that heart of yours?"
46367Verlinda,she said presently,"how would you like to go up to the city for your holiday?
46367Was ever a girl so lucky? 46367 Was n''t it your trunk?"
46367Well, Jeffreys, old man, how goes it? 46367 Well, and how did it go to- day, Verlinda?"
46367Well, child, has your young man gone?
46367Well, shall we go?
46367Well, who was blushing like a sixteen- older when I came in? 46367 Well, yes, I did; for who would n''t have almost anyone rather than eat alone?
46367Were we going anywhere to- night?
46367Wha''de matter, honey?
46367Whar yuh been?
46367Whar yuh gwine live?
46367What am I thinking of?
46367What are we to do, Aunt Ri? 46367 What are you back here for?"
46367What are you going to do?
46367What color would you suggest?
46367What did Berk have to say besides mentioning that he was proud of you?
46367What did I do that for?
46367What did he have to say?
46367What do you mean, Verlinda Talbot, by trying to get me to tell my secrets?
46367What do you mean, man?
46367What do you mean?
46367What do you mean?
46367What do you think of a man who would put such questions to a perfect stranger?
46367What does all this mean?
46367What does it all mean?
46367What if I do? 46367 What in the world are you doing prowling around here at this time of night, trying our bolts and bars?"
46367What in the world are you up to? 46367 What is in the trunk?"
46367What of the papers?
46367What other reason could there be?
46367What right had you to try to frighten us, I demand?
46367What sort of chump would I be if I had n''t done it? 46367 What were you saying, Aunt Ri?"
46367What yuh mean, chile?
46367What''s the matter, Linda?
46367What?
46367When are you going to announce your engagement?
46367When''s Ri coming back?
46367Where are those papers?
46367Where are you going?
46367Where are your thoughts, Berk?
46367Where can I get a match?
46367Where do you suppose the postoffice is?
46367Where were you walking?
46367Where, as in Sandbridge, they are always ready to welcome strangers cordially? 46367 Which do you think would be the easier to live with?"
46367Which were?
46367Who do you think is over there, just across from us, a little to your rear? 46367 Who is talking about Aunt Ri?"
46367Who is vehement now, Verlinda Talbot? 46367 Who told you?"
46367Whose fault? 46367 Why bat?"
46367Why did n''t you make yourself known before? 46367 Why did n''t you send me word you were here?
46367Why did you let her have it? 46367 Why do you ask?"
46367Why has Linda gone to town?
46367Why is n''t it? 46367 Why not?"
46367Why remind me of such things? 46367 Why, Aunt Ri?"
46367Why, Verlinda, my dear child, what do you mean? 46367 Why, my child, did he ask you to marry him?"
46367Why, sweet?
46367Why?
46367Why?
46367Wo n''t it be very expensive?
46367Would n''t the impetuous man be more difficult, more trying, for the very reason of his impetuosity?
46367Would n''t you have done so?
46367Would you have even one saint? 46367 Yes, I thought so when we met her the other day at''Mary''s Delight,''It was nice of them to bring her, was n''t it?
46367You are happy in your work, Berk, are n''t you?
46367You did n''t? 46367 You did?
46367You do n''t imagine he has fallen in love with Grace, do you?
46367You do n''t want another boarder?
46367You have climbed into fame, have n''t you?
46367You have n''t a sweetheart in the city, Berk Matthews? 46367 You poor darling child,"said Miss Ri, bending over her,"was it so hard?"
46367You think there is a chance for me, do you? 46367 You were?
46367You''d have me give up my independence, Aunt Ri? 46367 Your friend?
46367Yuh got some cu''ant jelly, is yuh, Miss Ri? 46367 ''That''s right fur, ai n''t it?'' 46367 ''Well, Mr. Hill,''he said;''if t- a- x do n''t spell tacks, what do it spell?'' 46367 ''Where ye been?'' 46367 ''Why, it''s a pretty good place, why should n''t I stand it, Aaron?'' 46367 115YOU DON''T IMAGINE HE HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH GRACE, DO YOU?"
46367A really good man would never go so far unless--""Unless?"
46367Ai n''t it de troof now?
46367Ai n''t it yo''home''fore it hers?
46367Ai n''t yo''gran''daddy an''you gre''t- gran''-daddy live hyar?
46367Ai n''t yuh de one dat has de mostes''right?"
46367Am I never to be anything more, Linda?
46367And goes around taking photographs?
46367And he married the other girl?
46367And is n''t he more to be approved than the man who sacrifices his integrity, or does a wrong thing for love''s sake?"
46367And you?"
46367Any more light on the case, Berk?"
46367Any news up town?"
46367Anything wrong?"
46367Are n''t we proud of her, Miss Ri?
46367Are n''t you?"
46367Are they paying you well for it?"
46367Are you domestic?"
46367Are you going to give it up?"
46367Are you going with him, Verlinda?"
46367Are you happy, Mammy?"
46367Are you making a family tree for Linda?"
46367Are you on your way to the city?"
46367Are you sure it is Talbot''s Angles?"
46367At what hour?"
46367Aunt Ri, do you suppose Berk could have found that out?
46367Been away a right smart of a time, have n''t you?''
46367Berk said he had seen Grace Talbot, did n''t he?"
46367Berkley did not answer, but instead asked,"Did Jeffreys tell you of his determination not to follow up his claim?"
46367By the way when did you turn poet?"
46367By the way, Linda, did you ever hear the way old Aaron Hopkins interprets that?"
46367CHAPTER V THE ALARM"Have I interrupted a musicale?"
46367CHAPTER VII WAS IT CURIOSITY?
46367CHAPTER XIX OF WHAT AVAIL?
46367Ca n''t you stay home with your little Gracie this afternoon?"
46367Can I take you anywhere, first, Jeffreys?"
46367Confound it all, why did it have to happen so?
46367Could he ever expect to win Linda''s love and respect, if he had won her by such unworthy means?
46367Could he supply it?
46367Dared she understand it so?
46367Dick, will you take out Miss Talbot?"
46367Did Jeffreys know before he left?"
46367Did Mr. Jeffreys come?"
46367Did he help me over a gutter, or up a steep curb?
46367Did n''t I send you the first fruits of my chase?
46367Did n''t you know it would have made a difference to me-- to us all, if you belonged, even remotely, to one of the old families?"
46367Did you ever happen to know of a Madison Talbot who lived-- let me see-- about 1812 or thereabouts?"
46367Did you ever hear of Lovina Talbot?"
46367Did you ever know such a talker as she is?
46367Dinner, did you say, Julia?
46367Do n''t you believe that you have your brother still?
46367Do n''t you know it is my lack of conceit which prevents my harboring the belief that I could induce anyone to help me to make a home?"
46367Do n''t you think chickens are very amusing?
46367Do n''t you think he acted queerly, Aunt Ri?"
46367Do n''t you think that some day you might learn to love me a little?"
46367Do the Talbots come from that neighborhood?"
46367Do you know Mrs. Hill, Miss Linda?
46367Do you like my verses, Berk?"
46367Do you mean I could induce Phebe to accept the place of head cook at the hotel?"
46367Do you mean by yourself?"
46367Do you mind if I ask that you do not repeat what I have been telling you?"
46367Do you suppose they are off for the city to- night?"
46367Do you think I have no pride?
46367Do you think he has known all this time?"
46367Do you think you''re the only man who can do a brave thing?
46367Do you think--?"
46367Does a war- whoop discover the foes?
46367Does he say anything about the trunk?"
46367Does the verse- making continue?"
46367Ducks ready?
46367Had he arrived?
46367Had he seen Berk?
46367Hallo, Berk, what has brought you here, I''d like to know?
46367Has Berk been here?"
46367Has her sister come?"
46367Have you good warm flannels, Uncle Moke?"
46367Have you met him?"
46367Have you met the mysterious stranger, Bertie?"
46367Have you said anything to Miss Grace about going?"
46367Have you seen Mr. Jeffreys?
46367Have you seen her, Matthews?"
46367He is too honest and straightforward, and besides, what would be his object?"
46367He was a good honest man enough, and afterward became a builder, but he never put on any airs, as why should he?
46367He was met by the question:"What report?"
46367He was silent a moment before he asked:"What did the judge have to say to you, Linda?"
46367Here, Jeffreys, I want to present you to Miss Talbot and-- who is with you, Linda?"
46367How are you getting along, Linda, by the way?"
46367How could he know that her smiles covered a jealous, grasping nature?
46367How did that miserable usurper look?"
46367How do you like the idea of such a trip?"
46367How do you manage to keep it so beautifully polished?"
46367How is Grace bearing up?"
46367How is the school going?"
46367How is your wife?"
46367How was Parthy and how were the dogs, and what was going on?
46367How will that do?"
46367How would it do for me to adopt you as one, Verlinda?
46367However, that is an old subject, is n''t it?
46367I am permitted only a place to sleep and enough to eat, and if she elects not to stay here, what am I to do?
46367I can not keep up an establishment on nothing, can I?
46367I could persuade Miss Ri to spend part of the year there, maybe, and-- oh, would n''t it be lovely?"
46367I do n''t suppose you could stay now?"
46367I have n''t recovered from my scare yet, have you, Jeffreys?
46367I know I do n''t deserve it, but do you think you could ever learn to care a little for me?
46367I would n''t have blamed him, for he was not to blame, was he?
46367If he were in Europe, in China, in India, would n''t you still have him?
46367If you''re not first, who is?"
46367Invited I, did she?"
46367Is it that, Miss Ri, that keeps you almost always so bright and happy?
46367Is n''t my house big enough for plump me, skinny you, and fat Phebe?
46367Is n''t that just like him?
46367Is n''t that provoking?"
46367Is she making a recluse of you?"
46367Is that the only reason?"
46367Is that true?"
46367Is this where we part?"
46367It is losing her the comfort of living again in her old home, and, dickens take it, how do I know that I am any better off?
46367It is n''t morning, is it?"
46367It would be sad, would it not, Miss Hill, if, after my effort to do what would seem best for Linda, the property should pass into other hands?"
46367James, son of Martin, son of Madison, son of James; that''s it, is n''t it?"
46367Jeffreys?"
46367Jeffreys?"
46367Jeffreys?"
46367Jeffreys?"
46367Jeffreys?"
46367Just to make Verlinda unhappy?"
46367Let me see; what have I heard?
46367Linda obeyed, and Miss Ri gave an account of the pursuit of clues, ending up with,"Now, what do you think of it?"
46367Linda was silent for some time; then she spoke again, following out her thoughts:"Aunt Ri, do you think that is why Berk has avoided me?
46367Linda, dear, is that you?
46367Linda, why did we ever treat him so well?
46367Matthews?"
46367Matthews?"
46367May I come in?"
46367May I come to- morrow afternoon?
46367May I know the name of my knight?"
46367Meanwhile, what difference does it make?
46367Miss Ri leaned forward and asked earnestly:"What were they?"
46367Must you go?"
46367No piece of news of any importance?"
46367No?
46367OF WHAT AVAIL?
46367Of what?"
46367Oh, dear, why should we have such contrary hearts?"
46367Oh, did you hear that the trunk had been found, and that mine was the great mind that happened to realize its value?"
46367Oh, you went to a sale?
46367Once invited, always invited, you see, so I repeat my anxious query: what''s for supper?"
46367One does n''t expect to meet three such coincidences and gain no result, does one?
46367See here, children, why ca n''t you both come here and live with me till I can find an orphan who wants an Aunt Ri?
46367Shall I hand you back your papers?"
46367Shall we see his sister and mother, do you think?"
46367She is as bad as Becky, and did you hear Lauretta?
46367She will have to cook for herself, and why not for you?
46367Should she arouse Bertie?
46367So you are a confessed matchmaker, Miss Ri?
46367Suppose we slip that card and necktie back, Mr. Jeffreys?
46367Suppose we stop by and see what Mrs. Baker can tell us?"
46367Tell me plainly, what do you think of my new cousin?"
46367Tell me such a thing?
46367The lad hesitated when she asked,"Could we go up to the little room?"
46367Then suddenly,"Good heavens, man, you do n''t mean that''s the place you are thinking to claim?
46367Then what in the world was it?"
46367There was some talk upon trifling matters, then Grace, turning to Linda, said,"Oh, by the way, what about that Mr. Jeffreys?
46367There, how do you like it?"
46367They remind me of grandmother''s, do n''t they you, Lauretta?
46367This is your sister, is n''t it?
46367This your niece?"
46367Tired, are you?"
46367Very fitly named, is n''t it?
46367WAS IT CURIOSITY?
46367Was ever a better son, or brother, if it comes to that?"
46367Was he able to buy Talbot''s Angles supposing it were for sale?
46367Was n''t Timber Neck theirs at one time?"
46367Was n''t it just like Linda to go off by herself to church instead of walking with them?
46367Was there a confession?
46367We accept your excuses since they seem moderately reasonable, do n''t we, Verlinda?"
46367We know that, do n''t we, Aunt Ri?
46367Well, anything new?"
46367Well, he walked up to me and said,''Do n''t you want me to take some photographs of your house and grounds?
46367Well, well, how on airth could you stand it?''
46367Well, what has she been telling you?"
46367Were there some papers of yours, Miss Ri?
46367Were they up for a shopping expedition?
46367Were you-- were you engaged to Mr. Dick Goldsborough?"
46367Wha''she been a doin''to Mammy''s honey chile?"
46367Whar all yo''beaux, honey chile?"
46367What I gwine do?"
46367What a turn of fate, to be sure, and now what was to be done?
46367What am I to do?"
46367What are you going to do next, pending Berk''s return?
46367What are you going to have for supper?"
46367What are you talking about, Verlinda Talbot?"
46367What could Berkley answer?
46367What did I tell you, Verlinda?
46367What did he say about the trunk?"
46367What did you learn from Bertie?"
46367What do you say to it?"
46367What do you suppose is the matter?"
46367What do you want that you ca n''t get?"
46367What else did he say?"
46367What have I done?"
46367What have you to put in his side of the scales?"
46367What is that old quotation?
46367What next, Aunt Ri?"
46367What odds, now, what Linda thought?
46367What right had I to expect that I could throw a sop to my conscience by asking her to marry me?
46367What right have I to be glad anyway?
46367What shall we do with ourselves?"
46367What was I thinking of?
46367What was it?"
46367What was the meaning of that saying?
46367What were you talking about to make you forget it?"
46367What were you two saying about me?
46367What''s for supper, Miss Ri?"
46367What''s the trouble?"
46367When are you going to make up your mind to come and live with me, Phebe?"
46367When did you get back?"
46367When did you get in?"
46367When do you start?"
46367When would he be back?
46367When yuh gwine, Miss Lindy?"
46367Where did you drive from?"
46367Where did you get these oysters, Miss Ri?
46367Where is he from, Miss Ri?"
46367Where is our paragon, now?"
46367Where is this place that you found it?
46367Where is your buggy?
46367Where was he going next?
46367Who dat come to de gate wi''yuh?"
46367Who do you mean?
46367Who is this young man, Maria, who says he is the great grandson of Cyrus Talbot?
46367Who say I cain''t go see Miss Ri?
46367Who was he to be gallanting her young lady around town?
46367Why did he come here to disturb our peace?"
46367Why did n''t she send you one plain fine handkerchief, if she did n''t want to spend her money for something handsome?
46367Why did n''t you, Linda?"
46367Why do you rattle on in such a brainless way?"
46367Why in the world should you wait?
46367Why should Jeffreys not possess the property as well as Grace?
46367Why should n''t he take the case?
46367Why should she interest herself in a stranger?
46367Why should this ordeal be his to meet?
46367Why?"
46367Will you believe me when I say that you are the first woman I have ever wished to make my wife?"
46367Will you take my other arm, Linda?"
46367Will you tell me all the details?
46367With myself?
46367Wo n''t you come to the fire after your drive?"
46367Would he not always be playing a false part, and would not the result fail of good to him and to her?
46367Would you like one looking out on the river or on the road?"
46367Yet, after all, it would be less lonely with Miss Ri, for had not the dear woman made this a true home for her?
46367You could live in the old home and be happy ever after, only, Verlinda, Verlinda, what would become of Berk?"
46367You do n''t know what''old horse''is?
46367You do n''t mean he thinks_ that''s_ the place to which he lays claim?
46367You have sent it back to the owner?"
46367You see how I discriminate between my size and Phebe''s?"
46367You surely do n''t mean to sit down and twiddle your thumbs?"
46367You who have lost all your nearest and dearest, too?
46367You would n''t deprive him of it?"
46367You''ll be back by then?"
46367You''ll report progress, of course, when you get back?"
46367Your brother sold off Talbot''s Addition, did n''t he?"
46367Your great- grandfather on the Talbot side, is it, Verlinda?
46367Yuh reckon she think I''bleedged to stay?
46367Yuh stay at de big hotel?"
46367[ Illustration:"YOU DON''T IMAGINE HE HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH GRACE, DO YOU?"]
46367and did you ever hear what her sister, Mrs. Phil Reed says of her?"
46367and have to use a knife to dissect him before you could find out what he really felt about anything?
46367that is trying, is n''t it?
48294''Mistress_ Elinor_ Calvert?'' 48294 ''They?''
48294''Tis a pretty device, is it not, Thir Chrithtopher? 48294 ''Well,''quoth the friar,''have you a whetstone?''
48294Accused of what?
48294Ah, do those bright eyes feel the weight of sleep so early?
48294Ah, thou didst never think I had known what it was to love?
48294Ah?
48294Alas,thought the mother,"when did ever my boy find it hard to speak with me before?"
48294Am I in thy way?
48294Am I like to forget it?
48294An innocent man?
48294An''what''s that, pray?
48294And Reuben Early-- was he in liquor too?
48294And after what fashion was that?
48294And canst thou forgive one who can not lay claim to that mantle of love that covers all sins?
48294And cleared in safety?
48294And did you go about it the right way?
48294And didst show it to Neale or Cornwaleys?
48294And didst thou?
48294And hard?
48294And his name?
48294And how do you know, little Peggy, that that is not just the reason why I have asked for your company? 48294 And my stockings with the clocks of gold?
48294And my thilver- broidered doublet?
48294And never told me?
48294And she is very wise too?
48294And she is virtuous and tender and true?
48294And spent much time on the wharf?
48294And stopped at St. Gabriel''s Manor?
48294And then did you see him?
48294And thou wilt help thy mother to go on liking me?
48294And thou?
48294And what changed your purpose?
48294And what did you then?
48294And what dost thou think of when thou art thinking of nothing?
48294And what harm if it do?
48294And what will you do about it?
48294And who is the doer of the deed?
48294And who is to be the leader?
48294And why not, pray? 48294 And why?"
48294And with such pretty points, knowst thou any other that wears points as fine?
48294And you?
48294Are you Captain or I?
48294Are you come as Governor Brent''s messenger?
48294Are you from the charnel- house or from Hell itself?
48294Are you ready for a fight, my men?
48294Are you satisfied with the prisoner''s promise?
48294Art sure it will not try thine endurance too far to dwell so on the past?
48294Art sure thou hast strength to hear it?
48294Art thou really?
48294At what hour does he sup?
48294Ay or no?
48294Ay, but how comes it he is so friendly with that rascal brother of his?
48294Ay, but there is dinner to come, and''tis best to make allowance for this future; besides, who is this at the wharf in the in- bound boat?
48294Ay, but what''s the use of telling a droll story if it be not droll? 48294 Ay, so I would have sworn two hours since; but tell me one thing-- did he and the priest quarrel here at St. Gabriel''s last night?"
48294Ay, the twentieth; and what night was that?
48294Ay,said Elinor, smiling,"but the question is, art thou up to my meaning?
48294Ay,said his wife, laying down the purse she was netting,"and what is that?"
48294Brother,she had answered,"my house is open to all who seek its shelter, and shall I shut its doors to the priests of our Holy Church?"
48294But did he?
48294But how can one tell when one is-- is in love?
48294But how couldst thou have joined in a death struggle and brought home no trace of conflict?
48294But how to follow it?
48294But how to mount the bluff?
48294But how were you on the road to a bishop''s see? 48294 But how, when, where?"
48294But if we find them, what then? 48294 But thou didtht promise, and how oft have I heard thee say,''A promise is a promise''?"
48294But thou wilt stand my friend even if Father Mohl like me not?
48294But who will lock the door?
48294But why was it necessary that thou shouldst be caught in the toils? 48294 But, Humphrey, what can be keeping him?"
48294By what token?
48294Can I be of service to you?
48294Captain Ingle, will you come ashore and try the quality of Romney cheer?
48294Christopher Neville, do you know this knife?
48294Come, then,called Neville more cheerfully, feeling his point half won;"why not come in and smoke with me?
48294Could I not be of use if I went too to the Governor?
48294Couldst not make thy decidence now?
48294Dick,said Ralph Ingle as the two brothers were left alone together,"what treatment might a prisoner look for if brought aboard this ship?"
48294Did that settle it?
48294Did ye hear no noise? 48294 Did ye know Philpotts, then?"
48294Did you ever hear of the miracle of the buttered whetstone?
48294Did you ever tell your love?
48294Did you not ask my help?
48294Did you not say I was worth any twenty Virginians in this expedition?
48294Didst fancy I was like to mithtake thy hands?
48294Do I know him?
48294Do I stand on the platform at the end of the hall where Couthin Mary stands when her tenants come in?
48294Do they?
48294Do ye know what those are?
48294Do ye think, Master Cecil, the black would come off if ye touched one?
48294Do you admire her as much as the other men do?
48294Do you believe this calumny?
48294Do you think I could so escape Hell?
48294Do? 48294 Does Ralph Ingle come here often?"
48294Does Richard Ingle take his meals on board ship or ashore?
48294Does he come alone?
48294Does it bring happiness?
48294Does-- does any one else suspect thee?
48294Done? 48294 Dost know what manner of thing love is?"
48294Dost thou like him?
48294Dost thou mind, Elinor,she said, quickly,"how we were wo nt to make merry on Candlemas Eve at home in England?"
48294Dost thou remember, Betty, the day I set sail from James City in_ The Red Fox_?
48294Dost thou truly? 48294 Elinor, is that thou?"
48294Elinor, what is it to thee what befalls a man whom thou didst meet but yesterday?
48294Father Fisher? 48294 Father, is it a sin to love?"
48294Father, must thou be gone so soon?
48294Fool he is,answered Neale;"who ever knew Dick Ingle other than a fool?
48294For the love of God, talk no more in riddles, but tell me plainly, what is it has changed thee so? 48294 For what purpose?"
48294Gentlemen, are you ready for the test?
48294Girls, have any of you seen this Maryland maid who is staying with Mistress Huntoon?
48294Governor Brent,Ingle spoke in slow, reluctant tones,"did you chance to read the name of the larger packet as we passed?"
48294H''m?
48294Has Sir Christopher Neville left us also?
48294Hast thou ever looked on death?
48294Hast thou seen him?
48294Hast thou spent the morning in the open?
48294Hast thou-- is there any clue?
48294Hath some woman promised thee aught and failed thee?
48294Have I not heard thee say any one might have the training of a child after seven if thou couldst have the teaching of him till then?
48294Have you no feeling? 48294 He doubted_ thee_?"
48294Heard ye that? 48294 Here, in Maryland?"
48294How can I say''ay''or''no''to that?
48294How could she know thee so long, and credit any such base slander? 48294 How dare they?"
48294How dare you?
48294How did the village lie, and what is its name?
48294How did you leave affairs there?
48294How do I know but you want to set the tobacco- house afire? 48294 How do I know?
48294How do you know it is a lie?
48294How far away is she?
48294How goes it?
48294How say you, Huntoon, has your walk given you a zest for an hour''s rest and a bite of good victual?
48294How say you, Mistress Brent, are the terms accepted, and are we ready for the ceremony of investiture?
48294How''s that? 48294 How''s this?"
48294How?
48294Humphrey, thou dost love to argue, but answer me one question, Dost thou put trust in them?
48294Huntoon--? 48294 Hush, Cecil,"said his mother;"where are thy manners?
48294I did not when I was your age,--that''s sure; but I have seen so many worse things since then--"What?
48294I must doff my finery, for who knows when I may need it to receive another tenant?
48294I put thee down? 48294 I?"
48294If I go, wilt thou come up after supper to see me?
48294If my temper did me no credit, who drove me to it?
48294Indeed,sneered his brother,"have a few months in the Brent household turned thee into such a white- livered fellow, half prude, half priest?
48294Is Neville''s knife falling from his garments my own imagining?
48294Is it a falsehood or a truehood?
48294Is it all your fancy painted-- this ride through the forest?
48294Is it indeed illness, or grief?
48294Is it not a pity, my good host, to be shut indoors when the sunshine lies on the river bank and the air is like mellow wine?
48294Is it not enough that there be a dozen here who are convinced of thy guilt?
48294Is it not silly to fear the dark?
48294Is it really so long?
48294Is it too late now to repent? 48294 Is not the ammunition of my providing?"
48294Is not this enough like Hell?
48294Is the name you seek_ Elinor_--_Elinor Calvert_?
48294Is this all?
48294Is this the flower of that confidence through love which you so much admire, Sir Christopher?
48294Is your aunt at home?
48294It is like the days at old Romney Hall, is it not, sweetheart?
48294It is not the same thing as being my tenant?
48294Let us hear, then; who is he that has such poor taste in likings?
48294Master Huntoon,cried Peggy, turning to Romney with a merry eye but a trembling lip,"thinkst, then, thou couldst get up a massacre?
48294Master Ingle?
48294May I come in for nutth?
48294May I tell you?
48294Mistress Brent?
48294Mother, dost take thy son for a baby or a popinjay?
48294Mother, wilt thou sing me a song as thou dost every Candlemas?
48294Mother,broke in Cecil,"wilt thou we d Thir Chrithtopher?"
48294Must it be that, Cecil? 48294 My daughter,"he continued,"is your heart wholly at peace-- firmly stayed upon the living rock?"
48294Nay, I''d stake my life that if we find the tag we find the murderer--"What gives you such assurance?
48294Nay, Margaret, are there not men enough?
48294Nay, no_ ifs_--ay or no?
48294Nay, who shall say what is a clue? 48294 Nay,"answered Romney,"else how account for this?"
48294Neville, so that is her name?
48294No, he is well-- he sent me hither; but-- there has been an accident--"Are you hurt, that you look so white?
48294No,answered the child, gravely,"elthe how could I keep my food in when I eat?
48294Nor any carnal affection threatening to draw thy soul away from the path of salvation?
48294Nor any unworthy wish?
48294Not Master William Claiborne?
48294Not a prick; only a mighty satisfaction that the devil looks so well after his own-- or-- hold-- art thou going to tell all this to God? 48294 Now, Giles,"said his sister,"art thou satisfied at last who is the guilty man?"
48294Now, do you ask for it?
48294Of what art thou thinking?
48294Oh, Margaret, do you think there is any ray of light?
48294Oh, Romney, is it gone so far, in one little fortnight? 48294 Oh, may I really?
48294Oh, only little boys?
48294Oh, what is it?
48294Oh, you mean Mother''s picture; why, of course you may have it, and mine too, which has larger pearls round it,--may he not, Mother?
48294One_ l_ and two_ t''s_?
48294Peggy dear, wilt thou not go below and keep warm?
48294Peggy, Peggy, what have you done?
48294Philpotts, can you see how we are heading?
48294Rather, I should say, of a mind filled with some one person--"Do I look like a love- sick maid?
48294Ready to make a bonfire of yonder town?
48294Ready to open the bung- holes in the tavern barrels?
48294Richard Ingle,said he,"are you drunk or sober?"
48294Richard Ingle?
48294Robin Hood''s Barn? 48294 Said he so indeed?
48294Say? 48294 Say?
48294Shall I not be afraid of her?
48294Shall there be no liberty of conscience?
48294She is living, then?
48294Should I not feel honored by the confidence?
48294So I do not look well enough as I am?
48294So the Maryland picture of poor Claiborne supplies him with all the attributes of the devil, except the horns and hoof? 48294 So you are come to take me to Hell, are you?"
48294So you could not go on living with Mary? 48294 So-- thou-- art-- the son of Master John Neville of Frome House?"
48294Somerset?
48294Still harping on escape? 48294 Swim?
48294Tell me, did the old crone predict aught about-- about your marriage?
48294Tell me, thou dear, wise Mistress Huntoon, can a woman truly love and yet be fain to laugh at herself and her love and her lover?
48294That can not be; and why shouldst thou need pity?
48294That could not be--"No, I feared that was asking too much,Neville said humbly,"but at least thou wilt let me have the boy?"
48294That?
48294The knife came down, and ere I could pull it out I heard steps near by and did run for my life--"Whither didst run?
48294The question is, rather, are you willing to allow my claim upon your far- famed hospitality?
48294Then I may come to see you?
48294Then the winter will be long?
48294Then where comes in the point of thy words?
48294Then why ask his pardon?
48294Then why not give it to him?
48294Then,said Peggy with the characteristic stamp of her foot,"then why say such hard things?
48294Think you all souls are as sensitive as thine?
48294Thinkst thou I would defeat justice, and make myself sharer in such a guilty secret as that?
48294This Indian-- who was he-- did ever you see him before?
48294This night?
48294This very night?
48294Thou dost defend them?
48294Thou knowest? 48294 Thou wilt come with me?"
48294To love purely, with a high and unselfish devotion?
48294To_ pack_?
48294Truly?
48294Understood what?
48294Verily? 48294 Was I smiling?
48294Was he not drowned in a cowardly attempt to escape from a trial he dared not face?
48294Was it all worth while?
48294Was it good news?
48294Was it not under authority of Virginia that I made a settlement at Kent Island?
48294Was the girl English?
48294Wath Couthin Giles ever little-- really little-- like me?
48294Well?
48294Were you bred to the sea?
48294Were you two alone?
48294Wert thou_ sure_?
48294What always changes a man''s purpose? 48294 What am I?"
48294What are these for?
48294What are they doing? 48294 What can I do?"
48294What fools utter such imbecile slander?
48294What for?
48294What for?
48294What if Ellyson prove the better man of the two?
48294What if the maid lose hers with looking at him? 48294 What is the jest?"
48294What is wrong with my nose? 48294 What justice were there in punishing the innocent with the guilty?
48294What matter what befalls me? 48294 What mought his first name ha''been?"
48294What of that? 48294 What part did he play?"
48294What said she?
48294What say ye now, Neale?
48294What stands between us?
48294What thing?
48294What wall?
48294What was it to my father when thou wert in trouble yonder in James City?
48294What would you want if you''d been shut up in this cold hole for a night and a day?
48294What''s that?
48294What''s this talk of witches and witch knives?
48294What''s wanted within there?
48294What? 48294 What?"
48294What?
48294When I came back I was torn with brambles and stained with blood-- of a beast, I told them-- but who could know if I spoke truth?
48294When Mistress Neville grants her gracious permission; and, Cecil, do you think ever you could gain her consent to another thing?
48294Where am I? 48294 Where did she learn it,"wondered Romney,"and she never at Court?"
48294Where did you leave the two?
48294Where''s your voice, man? 48294 Wherefore abroad so early?"
48294Whither art thou bound?
48294Who are concerned in your present plan?
48294Who are mine accusers?
48294Who could have believed it of_ him_ of all men?
48294Who could have thought it?
48294Who cried for help?
48294Who goes there?
48294Who is it?
48294Who is that?
48294Who is the doer of the deed?
48294Who is the man?
48294Who told thee?
48294Why art thou come hither?
48294Why didst thou not stay to speak with him?
48294Why do you not take a chair once more?
48294Why do you think that?
48294Why does he not ask her for the galliard?
48294Why dost thou seek to become my tenant?
48294Why dost thou seek to hurry me so? 48294 Why must you go?"
48294Why not Neville as well as Ingle? 48294 Why not go straight to Governor Brent and give them the lie?"
48294Why not keep it yoursel'', Master?
48294Why not stay now, since''tis already day?
48294Why not?
48294Why take the risk again? 48294 Why, Peggy?
48294Why, how''s this?
48294Why, where is Captain Ingle''s ship?
48294Why?
48294Will he never come?
48294Will it help ye?
48294Will you do something for me?
48294Will you pass by the road where Father Mohl was murdered?
48294Without fail?
48294Would Couthin Mary tell a lie?
48294Wouldst have the bear eat thy mother?
48294Ye remember the murder of Father Mohl?
48294Yes, Poppet, what is it?
48294Yes, but how is it that he is gone? 48294 Yes, but--""Did not Kent belong to Virginia by right of a charter antedating the patent of that upstart, Calvert?"
48294Yes,said Romney, eagerly;"and what like was he?"
48294Yet you would not have the guilty escape?
48294You cared a little for me, then, in the old days?
48294You found it?
48294You have been at St. Mary''s for some days?
48294You knew the blasphemer, then?
48294You know him?
48294You think so?
48294You were in love once?
48294You will give me an answer to take to him?
48294You would not care to dance with a girl from Maryland, would you, Captain Snow?
48294You?
48294_ Forgive?_ Dearest,_ I love thee_!
48294_ Good!_--I to thee? 48294 _ Her?_"asked Romney, with a fine show of indifference.
48294_ The Reformation?_exclaimed Huntoon.
48294''So you''re come to take me to Hell, are you?''
48294''Tis no baby thou hadst thought me, Mother, hadst thou seen me wrestling with Ralph Ingle?
48294''Twas spoken like a man, and Peggy-- what said she?"
48294A soft voice from Richard Ingle''s right answered,"Think you not''twere as well to leave the name of God out of the business?
48294After a pause given to meditation he resumed,--"What makes folks die?"
48294Ah, Cecil, how fares it with thee?"
48294Ah, what''s that beyond the headland?
48294Ah, what?
48294All she said was,--"Then why did she ask thy help?"
48294Aloud he said,"And did the disappointment drive you out of England, the country named after your forefathers?"
48294Am I to wear my morocco shoes with the red satin roses?"
48294And Thir Chrithtopher Neville must kneel before me; and how if I tickle him on the neck when he bends, and make him laugh out before them all?"
48294And everlasting damnation to the enemies of-- shall we say the King, or the Parliament?"
48294And how do you know that Mistress Brent desires your company?"
48294And pray what of it?"
48294And those purple eyes, why were they so sad?
48294And thou wilt come with Cecil to see how the land fares from time to time?"
48294And what do you say to the silver flagons fine?
48294And what say you, then, to this?
48294And who are they who have faced all these things for their religion?
48294And who was that beside him-- Ralph Ingle?
48294Answer me, Peggy,"and holding her face between his hands he gazed deep into her eyes,"Dost thou love Romney Huntoon?"
48294Are you glad?"
48294At length looking up timidly she asked,--"Think you I could ever be like her?"
48294At length the child gave up the search and called aloud,--"Where art thou?"
48294At length, making the sign of the cross, he spoke aside to Father White,--"Have I leave to depart?"
48294Begin then!--What first?"
48294Besides, men never forget the obedience to women they learn at their mother''s knee-- or over it--"Is it not so, Father?"
48294But of the quarrel-- did you see Richard Ingle after?"
48294But thou-- what wilt thou do?"
48294But what hath put this fancy in thy head?"
48294But what?"
48294But why do I dwell at such length upon a trifle?
48294But why under heaven did he conceal the whole business from me?"
48294CHAPTER VII IN GOOD GREEN WOOD"Now what say you, Mistress Peggy?"
48294CHAPTER XIX THE ROLLING YEAR"Is he better to- day?"
48294CHAPTER XXII CANDLEMAS EVE"Couthin Marget, dost think the ground- hog can see his shadow when he comes out of his hole to- morrow?"
48294Call you that hospitality, to keep the best for himself?"
48294Can I help in lifting the body?"
48294Can I lie with him at night and eat and drink by day with my arm locked in his?
48294Canst thou wonder that he accuses me?"
48294Cease thy jesting and tell me is that_ The Lady Betty_, or is it not?"
48294Claiborne, how many have you in your command?"
48294Considering the nature of the matter in hand, is it not just possible that He might take offence?"
48294Couldst not choose some gentler name?"
48294Cousin!--art thou hurt?"
48294Did he or did he not start out into the night after the quarrel with Father Mohl?"
48294Did not the old masters paint Our Lady from the women around them, and none so fair as you?"
48294Did the devil tell you?
48294Did you think you were the only person honored with an invitation?
48294Did you?"
48294Didst thou quarrel with Father Mohl?"
48294Do ghosts walk nowadays dost thou think, Cecil?"
48294Do yonder fellows know anything of the prospect of the arrest?"
48294Do you bring any news of that good- for- nothing brother of mine?"
48294Do you hear?
48294Do you or do you not recognize my authority?"
48294Do you think I ought?"
48294Do you think they are all like that?"
48294Dost think Cousin Giles would ever speak with me again if I deserted thee?
48294Dost thou know what a tenant is?"
48294Dost thou love me, dear, still?
48294Dost thou think he did it?"
48294Doth it not smack of deceit and treachery?"
48294Durst thou expose him to the influence of such an example?"
48294Elinor would not?
48294Elinor, are there fire- arms in the house?"
48294Finally she broke the pause, saying,"Do you remember what night the last was?"
48294Gabriel''s?"
48294Gabriel''s?"
48294Giles,''tis but a little while since thou didst urge my taking Christopher Neville for my tenant yonder at Cecil Manor; and why?
48294Governor Brent-- is he killed?"
48294Had he so nearly reached the goal to fail at last?
48294Had her nature sharp peaks, crevasses, and unsunned slopes?
48294Hast thou brandy?"
48294Hast thou lived to nigh forty years, to be hurt like a boy by a woman''s inconstancy?
48294Have I a black smooch on my nose, or did I talk too much or laugh too loud that you look so-- so-- so righteously disapproving?"
48294Have I deserved this?"
48294Have I room in my heart for pity of any save myself?"
48294Have you not deserved death at my hands?"
48294He smiled, but he repeated the question;"How dost thou know it is a lie?"
48294How can I when I know every word will be twisted to one fell purpose?"
48294How can he?"
48294How can it be that thou who hadst the wit to deal with Ingle shouldst so have lost thy head here?"
48294How canst thou talk so bold?"
48294How could Brent have heard of the quarrel when he was absent?
48294How could you manage your home- coming?
48294How say you, Cecil,--wilt thou lend me those cheeks of thine for cushions?"
48294How say you, Master Boniface, would it not be well to compel the traitor to drink himself to death at the expense of the Lord Proprietary?"
48294How wouldst thou have prospered in a Puritan colony?"
48294How_ can_ you smile?"
48294Huntoon started up; but Peggy checked him:"Master Huntoon, will you take me to my brother?
48294I ask once more, have you any confession to make?"
48294I do not like the dark, do you?"
48294I thank you all heartily; and now will you please put your helm about, and head the ketch for St. Mary''s with what speed you may?"
48294If I do, I''ll send you word-- and by the way, so that I may not forget, what is your name?"
48294If that condemns me, protests are vain; if that acquits me, who in the end shall be able to stand against me?''
48294If the adorable is to be adored and the lovable to be loved, why was not the kissable to be kissed?
48294In God''s name, how didst thou know?"
48294Ingle must look a deal like Lucifer; and Michael-- Mother, dost not think Michael must look rather like Master Neville?"
48294Inigo''s?"
48294Is a man to sit still and listen in silence to a pack of lies told about his friend?"
48294Is he within?"
48294Is not that a sign of a vacant mind?"
48294Is not that reason enough?"
48294Is not this all true so far, Cousin?"
48294Is she with you?"
48294Is that his knock at the door?"
48294Is that true?"
48294Is the murder of yonder priest of my own imagining?"
48294Is there any reason why I should not kill you?
48294Is''t not a silly verse?"
48294It must be the left garter too, so I took it, and knit three knots in it, and then with my eyes shut I said the rhyme--""What rhyme?"
48294Just now Cecil was pressing close to her side and whispering in her ear,--"Mamma, did Thir Chrithtopher Neville kill the priest?
48294Kiss me and say, dost not feel it so?"
48294Know you anything of his family?"
48294Landlord, bring out your ale, and all good fellows shall drink with me a health to-- let me see; shall it be Charles, or Oliver?
48294Let me ask but one question, Do you hold with your brother in his treason?"
48294Margaret Brent had entered unperceived, and now her questioning eyes said,"Who wore it?"
48294Mary''s?"
48294Mary''s?"
48294Mary''s?"
48294May I hope that Flora will tread the pavan with me later?"
48294May I talk of it now?"
48294May not I too be a bidden guest?"
48294May not our course take me past her window, that I may at least wave a good- bye?"
48294May we count on you and your son to be on the wharf with your firearms to- morrow, an hour or so past noon?"
48294Mistress Brent, is the ceremony ended?"
48294Mother, if Thir Chrithtopher Neville married thee would he bear the Calvert crest?"
48294My regards to Sir William Berkeley when you return-- and when is that to be?"
48294Neale, you have your eye to the chink in the shutter?"
48294None feel responsibility for those who are neither kith nor kin save where they--""Where they what?"
48294Now what befell the ketch?"
48294Now what say you to''God and the Parliament''?"
48294Now, Mary, have I not told thee and Giles that I would hear of no such plan?
48294Now, one more question: when you came in that night did you, or did you not, crave blessing and absolution from Father White?"
48294Now, was it all worth while?"
48294Now, what is a poor maid to do under such distracting confusions?"
48294Now, what say you?
48294Now, where is dear old Philpotts?"
48294Of law and leases?
48294Of what was Neville thinking as he knelt there on the step of the dais?
48294Of what, then?
48294Oh, Christopher, canst thou forgive me?"
48294Oh, my daughter, hast thou not before found comfort at the confessional, at the foot of the altar?
48294Oh, what?"
48294Peggy rushed on, all in confusion--"not in beauty, of course, nor in mind, but could I make my character like hers?
48294Perhaps''tis too much to ask, but could you find it in your heart to bear me company in one more troublous time, one more life- risk?"
48294Philpotts, will you kindly put about that helm?"
48294Related to Robert Philpot of Kent?"
48294Saidst thou not so in bed this morning, Mother?"
48294Say now, was I not scratching and biting valiantly?"
48294Say you not so?"
48294Say, Elinor, wilt thou take this man for thy tenant?
48294See you not why I can not bear to have you think ill of me?"
48294Shall I go in her, Captain Ingle?"
48294Shall I name thee one?"
48294Shall I swear by these and doubt the laws that rule a soul?"
48294Shall I tell thee whose picture dwells in my soul by day and night, Elinor?"
48294Shall we wipe the slate and begin again?"
48294Show me Fate and I will show you the will of a man; but what have you there in your hand?"
48294Sir Christopher, will you hear the evidence against you?"
48294Tell me first what do they say?
48294The gentleman that came last night?
48294The wretch did make confession to Father White, and of what, thinkst thou?"
48294Then aloud,"Cecil, wilt thou close thine eyes and come down to me when thou hast counted a hundred?"
48294Then as soon as they were out of hearing,"Romney, what is the matter?
48294Then as though the question were the most natural and casual one she asked,--"When are you to marry?"
48294Then, breaking off and looking toward the staircase, he exclaimed,"In the name of Venus and Cupid, who is_ that_?"
48294Then, with great impressiveness,"_ It was the Eve of St. Agnes._""And what of that?"
48294There, go back and tell that to the devil, will you?"
48294Think you I shall ever find it?"
48294Think you could we draw the lips more together and close the eyelids above that horrible stare?"
48294Thinkst thou a man''s soul is changed in a day or two days or a week?
48294Thir Chrithtopher, why doth God care more for the heart than for the head and legs?"
48294Was Richard Ingle drunk or sober?"
48294Was any with thee when thou didst find the knife?"
48294Was ever any one in your family hung?"
48294Was he glad or sorry?
48294Was it likely that the heart of the young man who walked with the rein over his arm was less jubilant than the scene around him?
48294Was it luck or fate that guided him?
48294Was it of Cecil and his manor?
48294Was she really Elinor Calvert, or a corpse like the one which lay scarcely more white in the middle of the room?
48294Was this the pattern of perfection she had wasted so many thoughts upon,--this woman whose faith broke at the first trial?
48294What are the Calverts themselves?
48294What does it mean?"
48294What gypsy would ever get her palm crossed with silver twice by a maiden, if she failed to promise her a husband?"
48294What have they found, seen, imagined?"
48294What hour o''the clock is it?"
48294What in God''s name can I do or say more?"
48294What is a poor man to do, when asking is presumption, and not asking is dulness?"
48294What is all this tale of thine when sifted?
48294What is he to us?
48294What is it, then, but jail- breaking?"
48294What is your love to mine?
48294What plea are you fain to enter,''guilty''or''not guilty''?"
48294What reason have they?
48294What said she of his looks?"
48294What was it all to thee?"
48294What was the fun of having men struggle for the privilege of talking with her?
48294What was this the men were bearing to her door?
48294What wilt thou have me sing?"
48294What''s that craft yonder by the wooded point?"
48294What''s the use of weeping when thou hast me here safe and sound?
48294What?"
48294When Brent had finished Huntoon said,--"Did he-- was death natural?"
48294When he fell, two men picked him up and one asked,''Whither shall we carry him?''
48294Where are the gentlemen?
48294Where are you?"
48294Where is he?
48294Where is she?"
48294Who could say what was passing?
48294Who else had that bearing, with its strange blending of a dignity too unconscious to be majestic, with a simplicity too dignified to be wholly simple?
48294Who ever heard of the Brents till they sprang up like mushrooms in this new world?
48294Who is he?
48294Who is that outside the door?
48294Who knows but my love may draw him into the right path?"
48294Who shall say?
48294Who, then, hath taken him by force?"
48294Who?"
48294Why did all present suddenly shrink back as if a leper stood among them?
48294Why do these impulses so often come too late to all of us?
48294Why dost thou look so white and strange?"
48294Why not make it''Wives for us all''?"
48294Why will he never give the other fellow a chance?"
48294Why, all of a sudden, was his brow cleared of its furrows, and his mind of its worries for the moment?
48294Will he have horns and a tail like the devil?"
48294Will that bring Christopher Neville to life?
48294Will that save his poor heart one of the pangs my distrust dealt, or his faithful soul one hour of the weary years my cold disdain cost him?
48294Will you not tell me why?"
48294Wilt thou have me for thy tenant on shares-- three quarters of the harvest to go to thee and one quarter to me?"
48294Wilt thou in good earnest condemn me to despair?"
48294Would she chide him if she did?
48294Would she feel it, he wondered?
48294Years ago he loved me and I loved him, and we would have wedded but for--""But for what, Elinor?"
48294You do mean to ask her again?"
48294You killed Father Mohl?"
48294[ Illustration] With a mocking smile he thrummed and sang:"''Pray, what are women like unto?
48294and pray what dost think of me?
48294and why?"
48294cried Cecil, anxious to be a hero, but conscious of a painful sinking at the pit of his stomach,"what manner of man is this Ingle?
48294exclaimed Cecil,"wert thou once as beautiful as that?"
48294exclaimed Father White,"was thy conscience so dead thou didst feel no pricks at accepting hospitality,--thou, a murderer?"
48294he murmured,"were not things in this unhappy colony tangled enough without this new trouble?
48294he said, pointing Huntoon to the eastward;"is that yonder Watkins Point or a bank of fog?"
48294he thought to himself,"so the wind blows from that quarter, does it?
48294is this not she coming down the path?"
48294is''t not writ as I have said?"
48294queried Peggy,"and just seen Mistress Calvert?
48294said Neville aloud, as if the writer of the note were near; and may not souls draw near as well as bodies?
48294sighed Romney, in the folly of his youth,"what care I what the_ King_ might say, if the_ Queen_ will not listen to me?"
48294then jealously,"Perhaps you think she''s too good for me?"
48294would those dark- fringed eyes never open?
48294you say; and how, pray, am I to hold him when I have no jail save my two hands?
