55779Is that your man over there with the two horses?
55779Now that you have told us about yourself, please give us any details you can of what you saw of the fighting?"
55779Now, I suppose you want something to eat?
55779Now, about forage?"
55779Presently he said:"But we have no pen and ink to write this order?"
55779Shall I desert my friends when they most need comfort and aid?
55779Shall I mention your name to him?"
55779Should I speak to him if I do so?"
55779Surely you could not send an army all that distance?"
55779The officers were silent for a minute, and then Pottinger said:"What do you think, Brigadier?
55779The question is, do you feel strong enough to travel through the mountains?
55779Then you saw nothing of it?"
55779There would be no harm in that, would there?"
55779Think you that Saleh would let me traffic with them?"
55779Was there any news when you left there?"
55779We know about it as far as the edge of Beloochee Desert; what is it beyond that?

55779Why should a man throw away his life?
55779Why should he not have bought a larger store of Indian goods to exchange with the Turkomans?
55779Why should they leave us our swords and provide a good meal for us if they intended to murder us afterwards?"
55779Will they fly over the walls or burrow through the rock?"
55779Will you undertake that mission?
55779Would you be ready to start on Thursday?"
55779Would you wish me to return as soon as I have delivered your message?"
55779You have a horse, of course, and a servant, I suppose?"
55779You know Syud Moorteza?"
55779Your father had correspondents also in Bombay, had he not?"
55779and why should they have prepared this place beforehand for our reception?
55779he said,"and what message can one like you bear to me?"
55779he said;"and how come you to speak our language?"
55779if so, how was it that the Shah was friendly with them?
55779were they infidels?
55779were they really in alliance with Persia?
7060And as to yourself, Master Aylmer?
7060And how did you like the girl, Agnes?
7060And how will it affect us, Eustace?
7060And now,the Italian went on, having made a note in his tablets,"what said your lady?"
7060And so your mistress was bestowed at the house of Maà ® tre Leroux?
7060And to which side do your thoughts incline, Sir Eustace, if I may ask you?
7060And what is this man like?
7060And who is this stalwart fellow whose staff has done more execution than both our sword- blades?
7060Are you going to make a long stay, father?
7060Are you sure that this news is true?
7060Art sure of what you say, Master Guy?
7060But how did you manage to get over safely when they won the barricade below?
7060But why imagine what is not likely to happen? 7060 But why should they attack us, Sir Eustace?
7060But, Sir Eustace,Guy said, when he had concluded,"how do these matters affect you?
7060By what authority do you dare close the gates and thus stand armed before them?
7060Can I take them for you? 7060 Can one doubt that, with her by his side, her husband would open his gates to the English, should they appear before it?
7060Could I not come up and carry your messages, father?
7060Could you spare Tom, the leader of the archers? 7060 Did they beat the bad men, mother?"
7060Did you kill anyone, Guy?
7060Did you see Simon this morning?
7060Do you hear that?
7060Do you know the contents of this letter?
7060Do you not recognize my messenger?
7060Do you think that he is honest, Guy?
7060Do you think that it will be safe to touch the wine, Master Guy? 7060 Does the duke, then, know what is intended?"
7060Dost mean it, father?
7060From whom do you come? 7060 Had I better ask the usher to allow me to go back to my lodging to put on a gayer suit than this?"
7060Hast thought of a mistress for your new castle, Sir Guy?
7060Have any of you seen aught of my son Henry?
7060Have you all the cases out of the shop?
7060Have you asked her straightforwardly?
7060Have you news of importance?
7060Having, as you say, good clients besides your gains here, why should you trouble to interest yourself in our affairs?
7060How about the vassals?
7060How do matters go, Guy?
7060How know you that she cares not for you?
7060How long will it be, I wonder,Dame Margaret said, as they rode through the gates,"before we shall pass through here again?"
7060How so?
7060How strong is the party?
7060How was that, Katarina?
7060I am in the service of the Lord de Roubaix; what would you with him?
7060I had but to run a mile or two,she said;"but what was there in that?
7060I shall do so willingly, Count; but first will you allow me to present you to my lady mistress? 7060 I trust that none of you received wounds, Count Charles?"
7060In that case what force could we put on the walls, Captain?
7060In what way?
7060Is Sieur Eustace de Villeroy present?
7060Is everything quiet, Guy?
7060Is it really you, Tom?
7060Is it you, Robert? 7060 Is this your following, Sir Eustace?"
7060Is your master up yet?
7060Lastly, as to yourself, I take it that nothing would induce you to fly with your Burgundian friends while your lady is in hiding in Paris?
7060Now, Count, what can I do to ensure your release at once? 7060 Parted?"
7060Shall I shoot, my lord?
7060Shall we get to Paris to- night, Lady Mother?
7060Shall you take us, mother?
7060That did he, child, and at no small risk to his own: Then do I understand that such a marriage would be to your liking?
7060The writer tells me that you are to be trusted?
7060Then you built the barricade behind it?
7060Then you do not love him overmuch, Count?
7060WELL, COMRADE,SAID SIMON,"I SUPPOSE YOU ARE THE MAN I WAS TOLD WOULD COME TO- NIGHT?"
7060Was Henry there too?
7060Well, Master Guy, what think you of affairs?
7060Well, children, what do you think of this?
7060Well, what do you say, gentlemen?
7060Well, what do you think of Paris, Guy?
7060Well, what is it, friend Guy?
7060Were you not at the fair by the river to- day, sir, and are you not expecting some one to meet you here?
7060What ails you, Guy?
7060What are you worrying this poor fellow for?
7060What arms shall I take with me?
7060What do you want?
7060What dye did you use?
7060What has become of Tom?
7060What is all that earth for in the corner, Guy?
7060What is all this, Guy?
7060What is it, Dickon?
7060What is it, signora?
7060What means this?
7060What name shall I call you?
7060What place is this, Guy?
7060What shall we do with ourselves for the day?
7060What will the end of these troubles be, Count?
7060What would you have, Guy? 7060 Whence comes this?"
7060Where are the others, Robert?
7060Who are you that approach my castle in armed force?
7060Who is it that knocks?
7060Who is that fellow?
7060Who is your lady, young man?
7060Whom have we here, I wonder?
7060Why do you say that you know what my answer will be, Guy? 7060 Why not, Bouvard?
7060Why not, child? 7060 Why should it be?"
7060Will you lift me up?
7060Wouldst thou like to be its mistress, child?
7060You have brought all the men back, as well as Guy?
7060You have seen to the horses, Robert?
7060You know this ground well, I suppose, Sir Eustace,he said,"for your Castle of Villeroy is not many miles distant?"
7060Your lord is our vassal for his castle at Villeroy?
7060''You are the bearer of a message from Guy Aylmer?''
7060AT AGINCOURT CHAPTER I-- A FEUDAL CASTLE"And is it true that our lord and lady sail next week for their estate in France?"
7060And my bow, Master Guy?"
7060And now, can we aid you in any way?
7060And so his house is burned and sacked?"
7060And what is your news?"
7060Are the bridges to be made to draw up?"
7060Are there other stairs than these?"
7060Are we going to the house we went to the first night we came here, Master Guy?
7060Art thou not more sensible to his merits than was Mistress Agnes?"
7060As to the others have you any choice?"
7060At this moment a voice from the landing above said:"Are you going to keep Master Aylmer there all day with your chattering, Katarina?"
7060At this moment the bell of the cathedral struck the half- hour, and Robert Picard said:"Will you stay here, Master Guy?
7060But who are these with you?"
7060Can you accompany me now?"
7060Can you read?"
7060Can you tell us anything more, Guy?"
7060Cloud of any Orleanist gathering?"
7060Crecy was the last time an English king commanded an army in battle against France; think you that we shall do as well this time?"
7060Did he speak to the king of it?"
7060Did you escape scatheless?"
7060Did you not save my life?
7060Did you note the banner of Hugh de Fruges with the others?"
7060Do you hear their shouts of''Paris and Burgundy!''?"
7060Do you know that she was up on the top of the keep while the fighting was going on?
7060Does all seem quiet without?"
7060Does your young esquire also know the ground, Sir Eustace?"
7060From whence shall I say that you come, as many will ask the question, seeing that your face is strange?"
7060Guy thanked Sir Eustace for having so spoken of him to the English king, and asked:"What do you think he meant by those last words, my lord?"
7060Had you not better tell your friends of the truth now, for otherwise they might hesitate to take so grave a step as to attack them?"
7060Has the Count de Valles fallen?"
7060Have you any preference as to the four men- at- arms?"
7060Have you not since with my humours?
7060Have you seen that the women and children are ready to retire into the keep as soon as the assault begins?"
7060He goes as page, does he not?"
7060I will go down with Lepelletiere this afternoon to the offices of the municipality and ask for a pass for madame-- what shall I call her?"
7060I wonder what the lady is here for?"
7060Is all well?
7060Is it far to the place you are taking us to?"
7060Is there anything I can do for you?"
7060Is there aught that I can do for you?"
7060May I ask to whom I am so indebted?
7060On Agnes and Charlie coming into the room, the latter exclaimed,"Why have you got your arm in a scarf, Guy?"
7060Seventeen, say you?
7060Shall I ask for you as Maà ® tre Leroux?"
7060Sir Eustace shouted,"where is the alarm?"
7060That matter is simple enough, the question is, what are we to do with Tom?
7060The boy, as he came in, said,''Which of you is Count Charles d''Estournel?''
7060The citizens of Paris are indeed turbulent, whether they shout for Orleans or Burgundy, but what if Henry of England should again lead an army here?"
7060The only question is, where can they be bestowed in safety?
7060The question is, are we tamely to submit to this?"
7060The question is, how is the matter to be arranged?"
7060The question is, where shall our next attack be delivered?"
7060There are no Orleanist nobles in the town to whom he might look for aid; and if a king''s brother was slain, why not a king''s son?
7060Think you that they will come, master?"
7060To come to the point, then, are you speaking of my daughter?"
7060Was it likely that the present patching up of the quarrel would have a much longer duration?
7060Well, what shall we do next, gentlemen?
7060Were you not kind and good to me even in the days when I was more like a boy than a girl?
7060What are a few score of lives to him, and those mostly of men of the Orleanist faction, in comparison with the support of Paris?
7060What are all these massive cases?"
7060What can he, with a handful of knights and a few hundred armed men, do against the mob of Paris?
7060What have we done?
7060What should a vendor of nostrums have to do with such affairs?
7060What think you of this expedition to Paris?"
7060What think you that their plan will be?"
7060What think you?"
7060Where can I see you again?
7060Where can he be, Eustace?"
7060Where do the men- servants sleep?"
7060Which way does your course lie, sir?"
7060While I do so will you go to the hall that you have prepared for the wounded, and give what aid you can there?
7060Who are they?"
7060Who could have dreamt of it?
7060Who ever heard of a woman being ill- treated for the disobedience of her lord?
7060Who would then take care of your castle?
7060Whose prisoner are you?"
7060Why is he not here himself?"
7060Why should I not love you?
7060Why, what has happened to you?"
7060Will you all come round to my rooms, gentlemen, and drink a glass or two of wine and make the better acquaintance of my friend?
7060Will you please fasten a chair on the top step in such a way that we can use it to climb over the barricade without delay?
7060Would you have had me show that I was ready to drop like a ripe peach into your mouth before you opened it?
7060You can only remember the eight or ten names that you have given me?"
7060You have not been to your castle yet, Guy?"
7060You remember when that savage bull chased them, how she saw him first over the stile and got tossed over after him for her pains?"
7060You would have let me go out then, mother, would you not?"
7060Your esquire has not gone out, I suppose, Lady Margaret?"
7060[ Illustration:"WELL, COMRADE,"SAID SIMON,"I SUPPOSE YOU ARE THE MAN I WAS TOLD WOULD COME TO- NIGHT?"]
7060he shouted,"do you think that the old fox has wasted the time we have given him?
7060one exclaimed,"what excuse have you to make for coming so late?
17766''Are you ready to try and escape, if I give you the chance?'' 17766 A grand fellow, Wilks, is n''t he?"
17766A quel regiment?
17766And he really saved her life?
17766And now about yourself-- what are your plans?
17766And so you are in command of this party?
17766And when I am quite grown up and big, and know how to read nicely, shall I be able to go with you again?
17766And you will let me see him sometimes, grandpapa?
17766Are you hurt, my boy? 17766 Are you really in earnest, grampa?"
17766But how on earth did he know that?
17766But they never could surprise some thirty or forty men, without the alarm being given?
17766But what do they know of scouting?
17766But what do you think, my boy? 17766 But what made Mr. Middleton escape?"
17766But what made him assault you in this outrageous manner?
17766But what made him do it?
17766But what on earth could be the motive of this unhappy young man?
17766But what was it?
17766But where do you come from, my dear? 17766 But why am I to stop with that lady, grampa, and not to go about with you any more?
17766But why did you not tell him before?
17766But why me?
17766But why not, grampa?
17766But would n''t people give you money for the show if you lived here, grampa? 17766 But you are sorry sometimes, grampa, not to have me with you?"
17766But you could not get a boat out through those breakers, could you, Jim?
17766But you will come and see me, just as you have here, wo n''t you?
17766Ca n''t I go with you?
17766Can it be true?
17766Did any of you see any passing boats, or hear any sound on the lake?
17766Did you hear nothing?
17766Did you, John? 17766 Do n''t I tell you I have every reason?"
17766Do you hear that, John?
17766Do you know of anyone who has a good horse for sale?
17766Do you know whether she is faster than you are?
17766Do you propose that I should take all my company, or only a picked party?
17766Do you see that canoe, that came out last, is paddling down towards us? 17766 Do you speak French?"
17766Do you think it will be any use to go out and try to surprise them?
17766Do you think the boy will play with me, grampa?
17766Do you think they are close to us?
17766Do you think they will attack before morning?
17766Do you want to bring all the redskins in the forest upon us?
17766Do you wish me to start tonight?
17766Do, Nat? 17766 Does reading make one a lady, grampa?"
17766Had n''t we better make a run for it, at once?
17766Have my Indian brothers caught many fish?
17766Have you any other witnesses?
17766Have you ever been in a canoe before?
17766Have you just arrived from England? 17766 He is a wicked bad boy, Jim; and did he hurt you?"
17766He may agree,Nat said, contemptuously;"but how about the redskins?
17766How are you, Cotterel?
17766How are you, Lieutenant Horton? 17766 How could it have been done?"
17766How did you get on yesterday?
17766How did you manage to escape?
17766How do you propose being taken?
17766How far is Crown Point away?
17766How far were you from the spot where he was?
17766I am getting my wind better, now; but why only ten miles? 17766 I am sure you agree with me, general?"
17766I have not been doing anything wrong, have I?
17766I suppose you ca n''t take me with you?
17766I suppose you wo n''t go very far tonight?
17766I suppose, Peters, you have been asking young Middleton the reason why he did not carry out his instructions?
17766I wonder what''s up?
17766I wonder whether he has got a fresh set of views? 17766 If he likes sailing about better than coming up here, why should n''t he?"
17766Is Captain James Walsham on board?
17766Is she all right now?
17766Is she dead?
17766Is the other fellow all right?
17766Is there anything to do to join the corps?
17766Is there anything you would like to say to your grandfather, child?
17766Is this so, Captain Walsham?
17766May I speak, Nat?
17766Oh, James, how could you do it?
17766Or am I dreaming?
17766Peters, do you know the handwriting?
17766Shall I get into the basket now, grampa? 17766 So you are quite well and happy, Aggie?"
17766That''s so, is n''t it, Jonathan?
17766The boat was struck twice, you say?
17766Then had we not better make for the canoe at full speed?
17766Then the smuggler got away?
17766Then what are you thinking of doing?
17766Then why do n''t you take me away again, grampa?
17766Then you have no reason to believe you are followed, Nat?
17766We did n''t know as he had n''t got home, did us, Bill?
17766We? 17766 Well, Nat, what is your plan?"
17766Well, and what do you say, Jonathan?
17766Well, boys,the sergeant said cheerfully,"how have you been getting on since I was here last?
17766Well, but what do you propose, Nat?
17766Well, sir, whose fault was that? 17766 Well, youngster, what do you think of your first scout in the woods?"
17766What are you going to do, captain?
17766What are you making such a beastly noise about?
17766What are you talking about, Aggie?
17766What do you mean to do?
17766What do you say to it, Jim Walsham?
17766What do you say, Edwards?
17766What do you think, Jonathan?
17766What do you want to see him for, eh?
17766What do you want to send us away for, grandpapa?
17766What have you to say to this, James Walsham?
17766What is it, Nat?
17766What is it?
17766What is that?
17766What is your name, my man?
17766What now?
17766What on earth did the boy mean by getting himself mixed up with such an affair as that?
17766What orders have you brought?
17766What should I have done if I had lost her? 17766 What should you do if you were in his place?"
17766What will she say?
17766What will the squire say?
17766What''s the matter then, Nat?
17766What''s the use of such little stones as that?
17766What''s the use?
17766Where are my brothers going?
17766Where do you come from?
17766Who accuses me?
17766Who are you?
17766Who are you?
17766Who is that young man?
17766Who run?
17766Who were on the watch on this side?
17766Why did n''t you land at once, Nat, after we lost sight of them, instead of crossing over?
17766Why do n''t you come oftener, Jim?
17766Why do you speak like that of my grampa?
17766Why is he?
17766Why should n''t it be, grampa?
17766Why should n''t the Owl have denounced you at once, if he suspected you?
17766Why should n''t we lie down here, Nat?
17766Why were you so particularly anxious that she should come to me, of all people?
17766Why, my dear, what brings you here in this storm? 17766 Why, what brings you into this affair, young master?"
17766Why, what on earth has happened, Richard?
17766You agrees with me, Jonathan? 17766 You ca n''t put me ashore, I suppose?"
17766You found my mother looking well, I hope?
17766You have been in this last affair on the lake, have you not, Mr. Walsham? 17766 You young scamp, what are you doing here?"
17766''Cause I fell out of the boat into the water?
17766After having satisfied their thirst, Middleton asked:"Where are you going now?
17766And now, ma''am, how would you recommend me to go to work with the vindictive old man up at the Hall?"
17766And you were not seen examining the path?
17766Are any of Captain Rogers''s corps at present at the fort?"
17766Are you hurt, James?"
17766But ca n''t you tell me a little more?"
17766But have you any reason to suppose that he will not receive her?
17766But how about the boy?"
17766But how could I tell?
17766But how do you propose to get back again, that is, supposing that everything goes well?"
17766But why did n''t you say so afore?
17766But why did you not tell me before?"
17766But you wo n''t say that, will you?
17766Can any of you tell me anything about him?"
17766Can she come up this evening?"
17766Can you think of no other plan?"
17766Did he refuse at first to undertake the charge of the child?
17766Did n''t he search for her, and advertise for her, and do all he could to find her for months?
17766Did you?"
17766Do you think it will be a relief to her, or otherwise?"
17766Do you think that, after losing a lot of their braves, they are going to see us march quietly away, and go home without a scalp?
17766Does he even know that she is alive?
17766Does that meet your approval, my friend?"
17766Grandpapa is the good fairy, and you and I are the prince and princess; and James-- and what is to be done with James?
17766Has anything gone wrong?"
17766Have you heard of the doings of last night?"
17766Have you money enough to buy a horse?"
17766Horton?"
17766How could it have happened?"
17766How could you keep the secret from me?"
17766How did it come about, John?"
17766How is it that so young an officer should have seen so much service?"
17766How should he manage to get himself taken prisoner?
17766I am all day in school, and what could a child, especially one accustomed to be out all day, do with herself?
17766If a man could not forgive his son when he lay dying, how could he care for a grandchild he had never seen?"
17766In the second place, unless he mentioned my name, why am I suspected more than any other officer?
17766Is he to come up, too?"
17766Is n''t it all splendid?"
17766Is there anyone you would like to choose, as I may as well take the whole scheme, cut and dried, to the general?"
17766It is n''t''cause I have been naughty, is it?
17766Let the boy go down, the first thing in the morning, or-- no, if you do n''t mind, John, would you go down yourself tonight?
17766Nothing occurred to excite their suspicion, and lead them to keep a better lookout in future?"
17766Now, have you thought out a plan?"
17766Now, what is your idea?
17766Perhaps you wo n''t think a day, once every three months, to be too much?"
17766Shall I show her that letter, squire?"
17766She had had a narrow escape, and who could say what might happen the next time she got into mischief?
17766The first question is-- How are we to tell Jim''s mother?
17766The men had halted before the general''s tent, and the boy heard the general''s voice, from inside the tent, ask sharply,"What is it?"
17766The question was, where was the cargo to be run?
17766The sergeant smiled gravely, and Mrs. Walsham exclaimed:"Why did n''t you come in and tell me about it, Jim?
17766They are all well, I hope?"
17766Tonight the door opened quietly, and someone came in and said:"''Hush!--can you swim?''
17766What do you say, captain?"
17766What do you think of my plan?"
17766What do you think of that?"
17766What is he to do?
17766What is the value of your cargo?"
17766What is there to object to?
17766What ship did you come in?"
17766What will the squire say?
17766What''s the next thing?"
17766What''s your orders?"
17766Whatever will the squire say?"
17766When I came to Jim Bryan, who was stationed just at the edge of the lake, I said to him,''Anything new, Jim?''
17766When do you think of starting?"
17766When he had ended, Mr. Linthorne said gravely,"Have you any witnesses to call?"
17766When will the attempt be made?"
17766Where is he?"
17766Where should we run to?
17766Which is it to be-- an English prison for two or three years, or a cruise on board the Thetis?"
17766Who are we?"
17766Who could have reckoned upon the boat being hit, twice, at that distance?
17766Why should I offer to give her up to him who, likely enough, would not accept the offer when it was made to him?
17766Will it suit you to take her then?"
17766Will the Owl go with us?"
17766Will you swear to do that?''
17766Will you undertake the business?"
17766Would you be willing to undertake such a duty?"
17766Would you like me to help undress you?"
17766You are not going to take him a pistol, or poison, or anything of that sort, to help him to put an end to his wretched existence?"
17766You are not really cross with me, are you?"
17766You are not thinking, I hope,"he said, with a twinkle of the eye,"of helping him to escape?"
17766You chose to make yourself disagreeable, and stay away, and what was I to do?
17766You do n''t propose that our company is to fight Montcalm''s army alone, do you?"
17766You have not seen her yet?"
17766You like him, do n''t you?"
17766and how did you get here?
17766and what have you been doing, all these years?"
17766have you come at last?"
17766have you had enough of it?"
61767''Have you fellows got so that you can listen to a white man at last?'' 61767 All ready with that gun down there?"
61767All ready with that gun?
61767All ready with that other gun? 61767 An apple?"
61767And are you going to do it?
61767And he gave it to you to save your life?
61767And you are going outside to shoot them, and the Sioux all around you?
61767Anybody killed?
61767Are there any persons here asleep?
61767Are they coming now behind you?
61767Are you all ready to start now?
61767Are you aware that the Sioux are very hostile, and have you any idea what they will do if they capture you?
61767Are you going out in the face of the Sioux after the narrow escape you had?
61767Are you going out when the time comes?
61767Are you going to try the letter on again?
61767Are you going to try them again?
61767Are you not going to pick up your shotgun?
61767But did they never make an attack on our folks on a dark night like this, sir?
61767But do n''t you know that the soldiers are the bulwarks of civilization? 61767 But how is it going to do that?
61767But something is always happening to take you away from us,said Winged Arrow,"and what do you suppose it was that saved your life this time?"
61767But what are you going to do this time? 61767 But what was your object in selecting ME to warn ME of the massacre?
61767But why did you not take the sense of the nation on it? 61767 But why do n''t they show themselves?"
61767But why do n''t we follow them up and whip them? 61767 But, Cyrus, how do you know that the letter will prove an advantage to you?"
61767But, Guy, did you really see an Indian and converse with him?
61767By the way, do any of you see Winged Arrow?
61767By the way, who is your father?
61767Come to their death? 61767 Could you see the Sioux?"
61767Cyrus, you mean to see the commanding officer of Fort Robinson before you see us again, do n''t you?
61767Cyrus?
61767Did he shoot at you?
61767Did n''t they leave enough of you to finish your tale?
61767Did that Sioux really give you a letter, sir?
61767Did the Colonel have anything to say about my signaling?
61767Did they kill their ponies on purpose?
61767Did they read the bogus one?
61767Did they whoop and yell as the storybooks tell about?
61767Did we not make a treaty with some of your big men to have the right of way through this country?
61767Did you know Cyrus, sir?
61767Did you know that this massacre was coming before you came here?
61767Did you see Red Cloud while you were a prisoner among them?
61767Did you see any Sioux?
61767Did you see it?
61767Do any of you know English?
61767Do any of you want to change places with me?
61767Do n''t I wish that I had half the pluck that that man has?
61767Do n''t you see those feet hanging out over the side of that horse that is just going over the hill?
61767Do n''t you think you are in big business to help the Indians to clean out the whites?
61767Do you find that fellow here?
61767Do you know that to be a fact?
61767Do you know where the Indians are?
61767Do you mean Winged Arrow''s letter? 61767 Do you not think so, Major?"
61767Do you pretend to say that there are some Indians watching me now?
61767Do you really think my letter had anything to do with that?
61767Do you see any men in company D there, sir?
61767Do you see that little tuft of grass up there on the hill? 61767 Do you see that?"
61767Do you think he has got through in safety, sir?
61767Do you think they are going to attack us to- day?
61767Do you think we are going to have another massacre?
61767Do you think you can get that letter?
61767Does that mean that I am to get ready for the stake?
61767Fred, old boy, how are you?
61767Halloo, Preston, where are you going now?
61767Have I done what I could, Sergeant? 61767 Have you a needle and thread?"
61767Have you an apple about you?
61767Have you found such a thing?
61767Honor bright?
61767How did that Winged Arrow manage to get you off on this letter?
61767How do you make that out?
61767I do n''t suppose that a bullet or an arrow could stretch your Tom out dead while you were running away from them?
61767Is it Cyrus?
61767Is it a Sioux or a white man?
61767It does not seem as though there were any Sioux around here, does it, sir?
61767It is very likely that a Sioux would tell you that, is n''t it now? 61767 Kendall is the officer of the day, is he not?"
61767Know it? 61767 Must I send men, who have been with me so long through thick and thin, out to be massacred by those thievish Sioux?
61767No matter whether we whip them or not?
61767Now how was it brought about? 61767 Now where is your letter?"
61767Now will you bid me good- by, Perkins?
61767Now, have you got the other dispatch ready?
61767Over the ridge?
61767Shall I go now sir?
61767That Sioux was a friend of yours, was he not?
61767That is so; you did not see him, did you? 61767 The massacre?"
61767There are our boys alone in that tower--"And you want to go out and inform them that they are not forgotten by the garrison, do you? 61767 There were more chickens out here when I looked over the palisade at them, and where are they now?
61767They are retreating, sir?
61767They were retreating?
61767They would not come out just to follow us up, would they?
61767To warn me?
61767To you?
61767Was it that letter that you gave to Guy Preston?
61767Well, Cyrus, you ran plump into their hands, did you not?
61767Well, then, what difference will it make by saving one or two lives? 61767 Well, what is it now?"
61767Well, what of that? 61767 What about?"
61767What are they going to do to me?
61767What chance had he to learn English?
61767What did he say?
61767What did that bogus dispatch do?
61767What do you fellows intend to do with me?
61767What do you make out of it?
61767What do you mean by that?
61767What do you mean, sir, by coming into the Fort as if all the Sioux were close at your heels?
61767What do you think will happen then?
61767What do you want to kill the soldiers for? 61767 What good will it do to signal to them now?"
61767What is it intended to represent?
61767What is it, Billings?
61767What is the reason the Colonel will not let one of us go out and knock over a few of them for dinner?
61767What is the reason they did n''t shoot me down or make a prisoner of me? 61767 What is the reason you were not in it?
61767What other?
61767What signals?
61767What sort of a looking chap was he? 61767 What was his other name?"
61767What was in that letter he gave you?
61767What was it?
61767What was it?
61767What''s up?
61767When is it coming off?
61767Where did you find this letter, sir?
61767Where have you been to learn so much?
61767Where is the letter?
61767Where shall I sit down?
61767Where''s your letter?
61767Where, where?
61767Which way?
61767Who are you?
61767Who was that letter directed to?
61767Why did not one of them change places with me?
61767Why do n''t they shoot lower?
61767Why do n''t they signal to me?
61767Why do n''t we fall in and go away from here?
61767Why do n''t you run off with that? 61767 Why is that, sir?
61767Why, how is that? 61767 Why, how would it do that?"
61767Why, you do n''t expect to fall into the power of the Sioux, do you?
61767Why-- why did not Cyrus take it with him, sir?
61767Will you change places with me?
61767You are not an Indian?
61767You do know it? 61767 You just bet that I will keep out of it, if I can; but if I should be ordered to be in it-- then what?"
61767You saw it all, did you not?
61767You say he was a smart chap?
61767You would shoot yourself before you would be taken prisoner? 61767 A PRISONER AT LASTSo this is scouting for Indians, is it?"
61767A frightened lot of teamsters and soldiers went by him after a while, but where was Guy''s salute this time?
61767And I rode within twenty feet of that tuft of grass when I came down,"stammered Guy,"What had I better do?"
61767And what had caused this Red Cloud to go on the warpath?
61767And what is the reason Cyrus would not take it with him, sir?
61767And where was Guy Preston during all this time?
61767And why should not the whites be cleaned out?
61767Are they all gone?
61767Are you going now?
61767But where is Guy?"
61767CHAPTER V. THE REPRIMAND"What luck have you had?"
61767Did they know that they were going to their death?
61767Did you not answer all the signals?"
61767Do n''t you think it is about time to hear from Cyrus, sir?"
61767Do n''t you think the Colonel would give it up if you asked him?"
61767Do you have to go out?"
61767Do you remember it?"
61767Do you think they can go there without another fight?"
61767Do you understand?"
61767From the day on which you left Fort Robinson in Nebraska--""Have you followed us all the way from there?"
61767Guy, will you get the letter for me?"
61767Has anybody seen Cyrus to speak to him since he came back?"
61767Have you a drink of water about you, sir?"
61767Have you been out after any more sage hens?"
61767Have you ever seen the prairie?
61767Have you forgotten Mike and Tony?"
61767Have you told this boy what you think of him for going over the other side of the ridge?"
61767He had protested against the sending out of help, and he would do it again under the same circumstances; but at what cost?
61767How long would it be before such would be his fate?
61767How many do you suppose there are watching you night and day?"
61767How was he dressed?"
61767I had an eye on that black horse which that Lieutenant rides-- What did you say his name was?"
61767I suppose the Colonel gave you orders before you left?"
61767I wonder if you have anything to eat in the house?
61767I wonder what will be the next move the Sioux will make?
61767I would look pretty being the slave of a sneaking Sioux warrior, would I not?"
61767In response to the signals"How goes the battle?"
61767Is it going to happen out here on the plains?"
61767Is that flag all ready?
61767Is there not one left?"
61767It is awful, is it not?
61767Now and then signals came from the Fort,"How goes the battle now?"
61767Of course it was easy enough to capture the Fort, but what should be the next move on their part?
61767Oh, why did not the whites stay in their own country?"
61767Say,"he added in a lower tone,"Who was that officer who went out hunting day before yesterday?
61767Shall I break ranks, sir?"
61767So I cut loose with my rifle--""Do you mean to say that you shot while the Indians were all around you?"
61767That will be the time for me to get a letter through; do n''t you think so?"
61767The prairie is broad, and why could you not build a road somewhere else?"
61767The two young officers, for whom he cherished an affection of which some brothers might have been proud were gone and why should he be left?
61767Then what have you those clothes on for?"
61767Was he richly dressed?"
61767Was not your Company ordered out?"
61767Was that medicine strong enough to help him?
61767We have often heard that hostile Indians find refuge there when badly pressed by the troops, but how do they appear and in what shape are they?
61767Were his captors going to scalp him alive?
61767What did I tell you?
61767What did you promise your father?"
61767What do you fellows want out here anyway?
61767What has become of the balance?"
61767What have you done with that letter I gave you?"
61767What is the meaning of that?"
61767What was the reason he had not asked him his name in Indian when he met him there on the plains?
61767What would they have said about it?"
61767What''s your name?
61767When you have killed a man, why do n''t you let him alone?"
61767Where''s the Colonel?"
61767Where''s the Colonel?"
61767Why ca n''t they go away and let us alone?"
61767Why did Cyrus not take out his letter when the Sioux caught him?
61767Why did n''t you obey the Adjutant''s orders, and come in when your game flew off over the ridge?"
61767Why did not the Colonel remember this?
61767Why was it that the Colonel was so anxious to have him leave the Fort without being seen by anybody?
61767Why, where have you been?"
61767You are not afraid of a hundred Indians, are you?"
61767You do not believe in such things, do you?"
61767You do not intend to be a prisoner in the hands of those fellows, do you?"
61767You have nothing to do but to look out for the Sioux, I suppose?"
61767You say that there were Sioux watching you all the time?"
61767You will be safe up there in the signal tower--""And suppose the Sioux get whipped?"
31745And Ronayne-- your friend, my husband-- what will you do with him?
31745And do you really mean to say that you would permit him to do so, Elmsley? 31745 And have you not heard that England and the United States are openly engaged in hostilities-- has Winnebeg not revealed this?"
31745And how, dear Ellen, would you solve the difficulty?
31745And these are, Captain Headley, permit me to ask?
31745And what do you intend to do, Captain Headley?
31745And what now?
31745And will you not save Ronayne? 31745 And yet, if it was planned,"pursued Ronayne thoughtfully,"what opportunity of communication had they to arrange their measures?
31745Are you aware that the son of Winnebeg has never entered the fort nor been even in the neighborhood since the night of that marriage?
31745Attending whom?
31745But how am I to act?
31745But what is his decision? 31745 But why refuse to attend the council?
31745Can all this be possible?
31745Can it be possible?
31745Can you ask, sir,said the officer,"or have you not heard the dreadful news?"
31745Did she scream-- did she express alarm when taken?
31745Did you not say you had appointed to- morrow for the delivery of the presents?
31745Do you not think, sir,said Lieutenant Elmsley,"that I should command this party and superintend the arrangements?
31745From Detroit, Winnebeg?
31745God bless my soul, is it possible? 31745 Had we not better put it to vote, sir?"
31745Has it never occurred to you to connect the one with the other?
31745He did, sir; why should he not? 31745 How do we know what passes without the fort?
31745How him know it?
31745How is this, Winnebeg?
31745How mean you, my dear?
31745Indeed,remarked Mrs. Headley;"you surprise me, Mr. Elmsley; but does she perform that long journey on foot?"
31745Indeed? 31745 Is that your game?"
31745Is there aught under heaven that I can refuse to my adored one?
31745Is what I hear then true-- and have I only arrived in time to be too late? 31745 Jealous of Ronayne?"
31745Love?
31745Mr. Ronayne,called a voice near the river,"where are you?"
31745Mr. Ronayne,repeated Captain Headley,"where are you?"
31745Nay, Maria, is this wise? 31745 Nay, Mr. Ronayne, rather than exhibit this emotion before the men, had you not better retire?"
31745Never on guard, Ronayne; or am I mistaken,she added with a faint smile,"in supposing that the officer on duty passes the night with his men?"
31745Obdurate man, has the past not cured him of his martinetism? 31745 Oh, Wau- nan- gee, can you not save us all?
31745Or who could have supposed yesterday that my heart would have been oppressed by the feelings which assail it now? 31745 See you not that he is wounded, and the Indians advancing to dispatch him?"
31745See, is not that it?
31745Sir, did you speak?
31745Spose him come,again urged the Indian,"Wau- nan- gee find him little tent for Ronayne and his wife for two three days?
31745Spose him love him very much husband?
31745Tell him Winnebeg take soger-- den come back to Detroit-- what say him, Gubbernor-- go to Fort Wayne?
31745Think you not, Ellen, that it would be better to continue Ronayne in the same belief? 31745 This is well to promise,"rejoined the commanding officer;"but what reason have we to believe that the Pottowatomies are serious?
31745To whom do you allude?
31745True,said Ronayne, as he paced the room with sudden and bitter excitement;"who could have told yesterday that we should be as we are to- day?
31745Ugh?
31745Wau- nan- gee not my friend?
31745Well, Winnebeg, my old friend, where do you come from? 31745 Well, men,"continued that officer, who had remarked the particular expression of the countenance of the chief,"what is your decision?
31745Well, my dear, have you seen him-- and how does he bear his affliction?
31745Well, sir, please what?
31745Well, what says he-- what does he intend?
31745What Hardscrabble men will follow me?
31745What bad news do you mean?
31745What can she have to say to me?
31745What can this mean?
31745What chance of harm is there so great in marching through the woods as in remaining here? 31745 What do you think, Winnebeg?"
31745What is it, Maria? 31745 What is that course?"
31745What is the matter, Elmsley-- what disturbs you so unusually?
31745What say you, Winnebeg?
31745What should prevent you?
31745What would the chief Winnebeg?
31745What, Pwau- na- shig?
31745What, my soul''s beloved, is the matter? 31745 What, with those five- and- twenty horses, Headley?"
31745When did my Ellen ever fail to better my judgment by her sound advice?
31745Whence comes this? 31745 Whence his opposition to the will of the General?
31745Where did you get that, Winnebeg, and how long since?
31745Who could have expected it?
31745Who do you mean, Ellen, and what purpose? 31745 Who speaks?
31745Who spoke?
31745Why, Ronayne, of course; to whom do you allude if not to him? 31745 Why, do you think that, Winnebeg, since there has been no intelligence of the kind since your arrival?"
31745Winnebeg at their head, did you say, Collins?
31745Would it not be well,returned the Virginian thoughtfully,"to give Headley some hint of false dealing on the part of the Pottowatomies?
31745Yes, Winnebeg promise,he said, taking the proffered hand of Captain Headley;"not speak till to- morrow?
31745You are on guard at the gate?
31745You have not yet, then, told him?
31745You no take him goods on pack- horses to Fort Wayne?
31745You spoke, Maria?
31745--and then in a lower tone to the same officer:"What can have become of our wives?
31745And what of Wau- nan- gee?
31745Are the Pottowatomies sick with blood?"
31745Are we then already surrounded by hostile Indians, and is the war already brought to our door?"
31745Are your port fires all lighted?
31745Besides our presence will encourage the men-- will it not, my lads?"
31745But is it not necessary to be well assured of this?
31745But there is another thing to be considered: Winnebeg, what escort will you give to my people?
31745But what battle do you speak of?"
31745But what glory do you seek?
31745But where was she now-- where was his own share in that happiness which, for the first time, he almost half envied in his friend?
31745But where was the third of the party?
31745Come, captain, the opportunity may not soon occur again-- will you indulge us?"
31745Could tidings of the event in any way be connected with the flight of his wife?
31745Did he ward off the blow aimed at your life?"
31745Did you persuade her to go?"
31745Do you promise me?
31745Do you recollect the evening of Maria Heywood''s marriage with Ronayne?"
31745Do you think he will, Mrs. Headley?
31745Elmsley?"
31745Good night, serjeant; or do you wish to see Captain Headley?"
31745Has Serjeant Nixon had that three- pounder run up into the upper floor of the block- house, Collins?"
31745Have we not five hundred Pottowatomie warriors to escort us to Fort Wayne?"
31745Have we the means of removing the broken ramrod if we should get the gun?
31745Have you no thought of your own noble wife?"
31745Headley, solemnly,"how can we ever sufficiently repay you for your noble conduct to- day?
31745Headley, what could have induced you to destroy the ammunition-- your only hope of salvation?"
31745Headley?"
31745Hostile Indians may be in the neighborhood; and what should I do without officers, pressed as we are now?
31745How do you know it?"
31745How have they kept their word?
31745How him fine squaw, eh?"
31745How is my dear Ellen-- how does she support this severe affliction?"
31745How long has General Hull been there?
31745How then can such a man, and of such a race, disgrace and dishonor the councils of the war path of the nobler Pottowatomies?
31745How were they dressed?"
31745How were you taken?
31745I had always thought your feelings towards Maria were those of a mother for her child?"
31745I hope so; yet how Should it, ma''am?
31745I know I am no longer cared for there, and wherefore seek to force an erring woman to my will?
31745If guilty, would he have dared to approach me?
31745Is Captain Headley gone out yet?"
31745Is all your ammunition then destroyed-- all, all, all-- none left?"
31745Is he, too, here, Mrs. Headley?
31745It is in the wagon, is it not?"
31745McKenzie?"
31745McKenzie?"
31745Might I not have the credit of prizing it on that account?"
31745Mr. Elmsley, as the oldest officer, what is your opinion?"
31745Mr. Elmsley, what is the position of the wagon which contains the ammunition?"
31745Of course, you have no idea of what the despatch contains?"
31745Of what value that life to me?
31745Oh, but for the arrival of Winnebeg with the intelligence he brings, it would now be too late, and what, then, would have been my sensations?
31745One question more, Wau- nan- gee: why did my wife leave this?
31745Pee- to- tum will then sow disunion between us and our allies, and then where will be our expected escort?"
31745Ronayne''s words were overheard by him, and he demanded, hastily and abruptly:"Are you afraid, sir?
31745Ronayne?"
31745Sampson, will you never have finished with the gun?
31745Should fate or circumstances ever interpose to separate us, will you always entertain for me the same ardent affection that you do now?"
31745Speak, Winnebeg-- you hear-- you understand all I say-- am I right?"
31745That will be excellent, will it not?
31745Think you, Winnebeg, you can keep your young men in the encampment to- night?"
31745To whom do you allude, my dear Mrs. Headley?
31745Was I right, my love?"
31745Was it not enough to promise them the public stores, without exciting their cupidity still further?
31745Was it not you who brought me a line from Maria this morning?"
31745Was this meant as a reproach or a threat?
31745Wau- nan- gee, is it possible?"
31745Well, Mr. Elmsley,"she added, as that officer ascended the veranda, followed by Winnebeg,"what news do you bring of the truant?"
31745What Indian would have courage to do that?
31745What are you driving at, man?
31745What could be their motives, where their immediate interests will be rather retarded than promoted by the maintenance of peaceful relations?"
31745What could this mean?
31745What course ought I to pursue on this occasion?
31745What is there to divide us?
31745What means this question?
31745What men, sir, am I to take?"
31745What motive could he have in coming?
31745What necessity is there for all this?"
31745What news do you bring back?
31745What purpose, what motive, can he have?"
31745What tomfoolery is that?"
31745What was the world to them?
31745When men-- and Indians, in particular-- use such language, do you think it prudent to put the means of our certain destruction in their hands?
31745Where have you been all this time?
31745Where is Ronayne?"
31745Where is my wife?"
31745Where is that musket?"
31745Where is the armorer?"
31745Where, then, is Colonel Miller, of the fourth regiment, who commanded the other day?"
31745Who could have believed Wau- nan- gee would have committed this outrage?''
31745Who dares to question my assertion?"
31745Who will lead a forlorn hope and volunteer to take it?"
31745Why distrust these our staunchest friends?
31745Why has the calm deep current of our joy been thus cruelly interrupted, Ronayne?
31745Why have you saved my life?
31745Winnebeg departed, but, far from satisfied with the answer he had received, he repeated the question to the commanding officer--"Go to Fort Wayne?"
31745Winnebeg returned?"
31745Would you have me to disobey the orders of the commanding officer?
31745Would you not like once more, Maria, to see his handsome face?
31745You ask how he could get here?
31745You can contrive to steal into the fort at night, and into my room unnoticed, Wau- nan- gee?"
31745You will adopt it, Captain Headley?"
31745and had that, at the instigation of Wau- nan- gee, accelerated the moment of her departure?
31745and he threw the hand of the recently- punctured arm upon the shoulder of the surgeon,"what news have you of Maria?
31745and how could he obtain admission unperceived?
31745and what has that to do with the fidelity of the Pottowatomies?"
31745and why alone?"
31745and without escort?
31745are you not my enemy?
31745asked Mr. McKenzie;"surely, Captain Headley, you will not strictly follow the letter of these instructions?
31745asked the subaltern,"and what has this fearful piece of treachery to do with open war-- war with whom?"
31745demanded Mr. McKenzie with an air of astonishment,"and to what are you alluding?"
31745did she not go to you?
31745do you hear the yells and shouting of the hell- hounds in the fort?
31745do you, too, disobey?"
31745does she not love you?"
31745he asked, sternly, yet trembling with excitement in every limb,"why came you here?
31745he did, did he?"
31745he exclaimed, as he grasped him fervently by the opposite palm;"were you hurt by that shot fired just now?"
31745how have you escaped?
31745how is that?"
31745how is this?
31745is it possible?"
31745is it so?
31745is it that?"
31745my property?
31745nay, even separate us for an hour?"
31745quite an adventure, I can assure you; and who do you think was my devoted knight- errant?"
31745said Mr. McKenzie, rising in astonishment from his seat;"do you mean to say, Winnebeg, that the English and Americans are actually at war?
31745said the anxious officer;"wherefore should he flee after knocking for admission?
31745said you, Mr. Ronayne?
31745that they have been fighting at Detroit?
31745what are you fumbling about that you do not drive in the ramrod?"
31745what can all this mean?
31745what can it portend?"
31745what could this mean?
31745what do you mean?"
31745what do you wait for?"
31745what document?"
31745what does this mean?"
31745what love?
31745what war?"
31745where was Maria, the universally beloved of every soldier of that garrison?
31745where was Mrs. Ronayne?
31745where were their comrades-- friends, nay, brothers of yesterday?
31745who brought it?"
31745whose love?
31745why do you ask?
31745you wicked mutineer,"chided Ronayne, playfully,"do you recommend insubordination?
38764And are you both going to help bring my friends down?
38764And have you been in battles?
38764And how did you get on, Dinah?
38764And how is the young lady?
38764And how many prisoners?
38764And now I suppose that you have had fighting enough, and are going to carry us quietly into port?
38764And now about your leave, shall I go off to the ship, think you?
38764And what are your casualties?
38764And what is the vessel that you have the honour to command, sir?
38764And what is your news, Dinah?
38764And you have escaped altogether, Monsieur Glover?
38764And you have only four?
38764And your officers, sir?
38764Are the mulattoes and negroes acting together?
38764Are we likely to be detained here long, sir?
38764Are you all loaded?
38764Are you going on in that direction now?
38764Are you going to light a fire, Dinah?
38764Are you going to take me on board, doctor?
38764Are you hurt?
38764Are you ill or wounded, Mr Glover?
38764Are you ready, lads? 38764 Are you the officer in command of that brigantine?"
38764But I shall be able to go away and join my ship before that, surely?
38764But do you feel sure that they have risen on all the other plantations?
38764But how can we live here?
38764But how did he manage it?
38764But is it quite true that you are going to try to get my father and mother and sister away from the negroes?
38764But is there any safe place, Dinah?
38764But surely you would have warning?
38764But what am I to carry, nurse, may I ask?
38764But why should they want to kill us?
38764But why should you leave us?
38764But you are not with them, Toussaint, surely?
38764But you have fine weather sometimes, surely?
38764Can we do nothing, sir?
38764Could they come up the other way, Dinah?
38764Did I understand, sir, that you are a commander?
38764Did he really kill giants?
38764Did they see you?
38764Did you have any casualties in taking the village?
38764Did you see any place at which the cliff could be climbed?
38764Did you send your messenger on?
38764Do n''t you think, doctor, that I can go to sea now? 38764 Do they allow smoking on board ship, Nat?"
38764Do you see how their flanks are extending? 38764 Do you speak French, monsieur?"
38764Do you think that they would join the blacks?
38764Do you think, Monsieur Laurent,Myra said, moving across to him,"that we are likely to meet any people on foot whom we could hire?"
38764Do you wish me to understand, sir,he said sternly,"that you are in command of that prize?"
38764Does she speak English?
38764Does your arm hurt you very much now?
38764Eight ob dem, and you kill dem all, sah?
38764Hab you been down de stream, Marse Glober?
38764Had we not better make straight for the town?
38764Had you not better stay with the young lady?
38764Have I been very bad, doctor?
38764Have the Frenchmen got their pikes? 38764 Have they made you a real captain, then?"
38764Have we not enough enemies now that we should quarrel among ourselves? 38764 Have you a letter for me?"
38764Have you any message to send to your friends? 38764 Have you not gone on board since?"
38764Have you slept well, Myra?
38764Have you slept well?
38764He is not in any danger, I hope?
38764How about the guns, sir? 38764 How about the merchantman''s papers, sir?"
38764How are you feeling, Myra?
38764How can you say that, monsieur,Valerie said indignantly,"when you have taken this pirate, which is ever so much stronger than you are?"
38764How did you get on through the hurricane, Monsieur Glover?
38764How did you get the hat?
38764How does it bear?
38764How far is Toussaint from here?
38764How far is it?
38764How is Madame Duchesne?
38764How long had you been in the woods?
38764How long is the_ Orpheus_ likely to stop here, doctor?
38764How long shall I have to keep these bandages on, doctor?
38764How many are there of you?
38764How many ob you up dar?
38764How many of these black scoundrels are there?
38764How much farther is this place?
38764How much farther, Dinah?
38764How shall we divide the things, Dinah?
38764How was it the dog came to bite her?
38764How your side, sah?
38764I beg your pardon, sir, but I am altogether ignorant of such matters-- should I come in uniform or plain clothes?
38764I do look funny, do I not?
38764I do n''t know whether you have in French a history of Jack the Giant Killer?
38764I suppose you will be taking me along with you?
38764If you go,she said firmly, sitting up as she spoke,"you must leave me two of your pistols-- they are double- barrelled, are they not?"
38764If you see him, sir, will you be kind enough to tell him that you have met us, and that he will find us at his house in town?
38764In your opinion, is anyone to blame for the course events took?
38764Is Miss Duchesne very dark?
38764Is that your voice, Dinah?
38764Is the writer of this the man who was the coachman of Monsieur Bayou, the agent of the Count de Noé?
38764Is there any story attached to it, Mr. Glover? 38764 Is your vessel a fast one?"
38764It is a bad bite, eh, doctor?
38764Look there, you see that black streak on the face of the cliff?
38764Mr. Playford, will you land a party of fifteen men on each side to clear the hills of those rascals? 38764 Not here, surely, monsieur?
38764Now, I suppose you will be running down to see your people at once?
38764Now, Mr. Glover, what can I do for you?
38764Now, what can I do? 38764 Of course the_ Orpheus_ has sailed, doctor?"
38764Of course you have taken the exact position of the island, for we must, if possible, take them by surprise?
38764Oh, you came to hand- to- hand work, did you?
38764Please, sir, if we are not wanted, can we have leave for the day?
38764Really, Nat?
38764Shall I give you a message in writing, or will you take it by word of mouth?
38764Shall we be able to see each other sometimes?
38764Shall we tow, sir?
38764So the pinnace was sunk?
38764So you think that they will fight in the morning?
38764So you think that we are going to have a storm, Dinah?
38764Then I suppose your discharge of grape did not do him very much harm?
38764Then how do you know the place, Dinah?
38764Then they have thought all along that there might be a rising here some day?
38764Then you are Captain Glover now? 38764 Then you do not remember me, Toussaint?"
38764Then you know this man?
38764Then you think, doctor,Lippincott said, with a laugh,"that you only had to enter the lists to cut Glover out?"
38764There is nothing very surprising that a young lady should fall in love with me, is there? 38764 Up there, Dinah?"
38764Was there anything in her hold?
38764We are not likely to meet anyone here, I hope, Dinah?
38764Well, Lieutenant Glover, what part did your ship bear in the fight with that Frenchman? 38764 Well, Mr. Playford, what is your news?"
38764Well, after that?
38764Well, do you think that the two craft will carry all the slaves?
38764Well, how long do you expect he will be?
38764Well, look above the first line of trees exactly over it: is n''t that a pole with a truck on the top of it?
38764Well, now, what are you going to do next, Nat?
38764Well, sah, do you tink you can take de head of de barrow? 38764 Well, the question is, how is your arm?"
38764Well,he said with a laugh,"am I at all like what you pictured me?"
38764What are you going to do next, Glover?
38764What can they be doing on board the flag- ship?
38764What do you intend to do, sir?
38764What do you mean?
38764What do you propose, then?
38764What do you think, Macfarlane? 38764 What force have you here, gentlemen?"
38764What good dat do dem, sah? 38764 What is comminuted, doctor?"
38764What is it, Tomkins?
38764What is she going through the water now, quarter- master?
38764What is the loss?
38764What is the matter, doctor?
38764What is the use of talking about that?
38764What is your news?
38764What is your wound?
38764What madame and Mam''selle Myra do widout Dinah? 38764 What name shall I say, sir?"
38764What name shall I say?
38764What news have you brought?
38764What nonsense are you talking, Biassou?
38764What on earth have you been doing to it? 38764 What shall I do?"
38764What should you call too big, sir?
38764What were the casualties of the Frenchmen?
38764What will that do, Dinah?
38764What would you have? 38764 What, Lucy, do you think because Myra was born in Hayti that she is a little negress with crinkley wool?"
38764When did I agree to such a thing?
38764When will you start?
38764Where did she hail from?
38764Where do you wish me to place my men?
38764Where have you posted your men?
38764Where would you light it?
38764Which is the house of Toussaint?
38764Which way are we going, Dinah?
38764Who are they, then?
38764Who are you?
38764Who can they be?
38764Who do you suppose is going to command the_ Spartane_?
38764Why do you say such things of yourself? 38764 Why should you do that?"
38764Why, what is the matter?
38764Will it be necessary to keep watch to- night, Nat?
38764Will she be sensible, Dinah?
38764Will you come alongside and pick us up?
38764Will you come in with me?
38764Wo n''t you come in, doctor?
38764Would it be safe to light the lantern?
38764Yeovil is a large place, is n''t it?
38764Yes; why do you ask?
38764You are quite sure?
38764You are sure that you are not mistaken?
38764You have brought in a great supply of berries, Dinah?
38764You have had something to eat, I hope?
38764You have no seriously wounded on board?
38764You have not given her too strong a dose I hope, Dinah?
38764You have not heard, I suppose, where our cruising ground is going to be this time?
38764You have not opened any of the storehouses yet?
38764You have seen nothing, I suppose, Tom?
38764You have, I hope, written a full report of the engagement?
38764You mean you hope that there will be a fight?
38764You wo n''t leave us at present?
38764Your division, Mr. Hill-- what are your casualties?
38764All well at the plantation, I hope?"
38764Am de ladies well?
38764And did he save yours?
38764And how is the arm going on?
38764And how is your daughter getting on?
38764And now, Dinah, what is the news from other parts of the island?"
38764And now, dearie, how is madame going on?"
38764Are there many negroes who know the secret of this place?"
38764Are they going to march away to the hills, or are they going to attack the town?"
38764Are those noises really the sound of guns?"
38764Are you going to remain here?"
38764Are you the Mr. Glover mentioned in the despatches?"
38764By the way, do you know any of the passengers on board the_ Thames_ personally?
38764By the way, do you know anything of the cargoes of the two ships you retook?"
38764Can it be that you are the officer who saved their daughter''s life, when she was attacked by a fierce hound?"
38764Can you not do something for them?"
38764Can you tell me where to find a hand- barrow?
38764Did everything go off quietly?"
38764Do you hear those shouts?"
38764Do you notice how silent the woods are now?
38764Do you think that the English government will accept our offer to transfer ourselves to British rule?"
38764Do you think there will be a war between France and England?"
38764Glover?"
38764Glover?"
38764Glover?"
38764Glover?"
38764Have n''t we been sailing about like gentlemen, with nothing to do but to drink and sleep, and look at the islands, and take things easy altogether?"
38764Have the ladies who were with you got safely down also?"
38764Have the three ladies gone on?"
38764Have you a written report?"
38764Have you any news from France, sir?"
38764Have your daughter and her children got away?"
38764He lay for sometime without speaking, and then whispered,"How is the girl?"
38764Hill?"
38764Hill?"
38764Hill?"
38764Hope you all well, sah?"
38764How about water?
38764How are you going to stow our passengers away?
38764How can I thank you for all that you have done?"
38764How does it look this morning?"
38764How does it stand, is it surrounded by trees?"
38764How is your arm, Glover?"
38764How long do you think it is likely to be before you are off?"
38764How long have you been in harbour here?"
38764How many axes are there?"
38764How many do you say there are?"
38764How many men do you carry?"
38764How many men have you lost?"
38764How many wounded have you here?"
38764I have made out her papers of freedom, but she says,''What use are these?
38764I hope now that there is no fear of my losing my arm?"
38764I must ask, however, are you empowered by the other leaders to make it?"
38764I say,''Dat so, but what de use ob land if no work?
38764I suppose by the way we are laying our course, Marston, we are going into Cape François?"
38764I suppose you are loaded with grape?"
38764I suppose you have ordered your boat to come to fetch you?"
38764I suppose you intend to keep the merchant seamen on board?
38764In one place de niggers march to attack town, and what you tink dey take for dere flag?
38764Is that your Christian name, Captain Glover?"
38764Is the wound bleeding?"
38764Is there anything else that I can do?"
38764Is there, Nat?"
38764Is your prize much injured?"
38764It is not tender above the shoulder, is it?"
38764Let me see, what do you say about it in your report?"
38764Lippincott?"
38764May I ask if this is your first action?"
38764May I ask where we are sailing now?"
38764May I ask yours?"
38764Monsieur Pickard, will you remain here with your party and help the sailors?
38764Nat sprang on to the rail, and in reply to the hail from the Frenchman,"What ship is that?"
38764Needham?"
38764Now I ask you fairly, what is there that you can do to compare with that?"
38764Now he has given us leave to come, and now we have come, what can we say to you?
38764Now, Dinah, what have you brought us?"
38764Now, I ask you calmly, is it worth it?"
38764Now, am I like what you thought I should be?"
38764Now, sir, do you think that if the English were to come here they would guarantee that slavery should never exist again in the island?"
38764Now, what is the bad news?"
38764Now, what is the first thing to be done, Dinah?"
38764Now, what is the state of things here?"
38764Playford?"
38764Playford?"
38764Playford?"
38764Playford?"
38764Pomp,"he went on to the cook,"have you got plenty of hot water?"
38764Shall I bring ten of the men on shore at once, sir?"
38764Should we be guaranteed our freedom and rights as men, or would it mean merely a change of masters?
38764So you black your face?"
38764So you will not change your mind and stay with us for the night?"
38764So your slaves fought well?"
38764Some of de women dey say,''What you do all day yesterday, Dinah?''
38764Such is the case, is it not?"
38764Suppose she like de oders, and stop down at de huts, what den?
38764The question is, how did she get there?"
38764The question is, how would it be possible to send such a note?"
38764The room is nice and cool, is n''t it?"
38764There are about that number of women and children, are there not?"
38764There is someone there now; do n''t you see a light smoke rising behind the bush?"
38764Wat am me to do wid dem?"
38764We are within a mile now, I should say?"
38764Well, Sam, what is it?"
38764Whar you hide dem?"
38764What damage have you suffered?"
38764What dey do when dey old, or when dey ill?
38764What do you think they contain?
38764What does it all mean, Nat?"
38764What does it amount to?"
38764What have you got on the fire?"
38764What is her tonnage?"
38764What is the width at the mouth?"
38764What is your name?"
38764What may not occur next?
38764What metal does the brigantine carry?"
38764What on earth are we to do with these poor creatures?"
38764What think you of that, Monsieur Glover?"
38764What time will you start, Dinah?"
38764What will become of them?"
38764What would be the condition of the coloured people here if they did so?
38764What you tink had best be done?
38764What you tink?"
38764What you want beside?"
38764Where dey get close?
38764Where do you propose that I shall go?"
38764Where is your main body?"
38764Where shall I meet you, Dinah?"
38764Where you go now, Marse Glober?
38764Where you go now, sah?"
38764Who look after dem?''
38764Whom are you waiting for?"
38764Whom had you with you?"
38764Why did you not propose that to aunt?"
38764Why do you ask, mademoiselle?"
38764Why should we be treated as cattle because we differ in colour from others?
38764Why, man alive, what have you been doing?"
38764Will you come with me also, Doyle?"
38764Will you take command, Mr. Lowcock?
38764You are not going to take these bandages off and put them on again, I hope?"
38764You do n''t get papers very regularly here, I think?"
38764You have another year to serve, have you not, Glover?"
38764You have brought steel and tinder, I hope, Dinah?"
38764You have got knives?"
38764You have not hurt it much, I hope?"
38764You have not hurt it, I hope?"
38764You know those two mulattoes?"
38764You no call it nasty, Marse Glober?"
38764You say she is half full of plunder?"
38764You say that the brigantine is fast?"
38764You see where dere are little steps made?"
38764You speak French fluently?"
38764You understand that?"
38764have you suffered much?"
38764his mother said in a tone of doubt;"do you actually mean that you have become engaged to a young lady who is now at Yeovil?"
38764the captain said, incredulously,"do you mean to say that, with that little ten- gun craft, you captured a thirty- six- gun frigate single- handed?"
38764what dey do when dey get old?
38764what you want run away for?
38764where dey get cloth for dress?
38764where dey get food?
38764where dey get meal and rice?
38764who gib de ole woman food?
38764who gib her close?
38764who gib her wine and medicine?
15958''Mad is he?'' 15958 A quel regiment?"
15958A white man? 15958 And have you other news besides?"
15958And how come you to this wild spot in the heart of these forests, and with warfare all around?
15958And in yours, too?
15958And our own vessels,asked the Abbe--"what of them?
15958And then?
15958And then?
15958And what matters the end if we do our duty to the last?
15958And what said he?
15958And what said your wife and daughter to such a move?
15958And what says he?
15958And will you remain within the walls of Quebec yourself, my dear Marquis? 15958 And you are hopeful that he will?"
15958And you had no escort?
15958Are the two gentlemen here?
15958Are they not brave, these English?
15958Are you Rogers''men?
15958Are you men? 15958 Are you not glad, mother mine?"
15958Are you the great Rogers himself?
15958Are you then French?
15958Are you then going back to England?
15958But did not the General strive to rally them?
15958But tell me, does he leave behind many to mourn him? 15958 But tell us, fair lady, how comes it that you are here alone in the forest?
15958But what is our General doing?
15958But why speak you so, as though you would see them no more? 15958 But you will not get killed?"
15958But your life was spared?
15958Can you do nothing?
15958Can you remember the holy man?
15958Can you tell me aught of the Rangers?
15958Captain Dautray, can you help us in this matter? 15958 Captain Jacobs?"
15958Colin, do you hear-- do you understand? 15958 Colin, my boy, is that thou?
15958Do they think French soldiers are the only ones who can fight?
15958Do you grenadiers suppose that you can beat the French single- handed?
15958Do you know how many were slain?
15958Do you remember what you told us when we met in the forest long ago?
15958Do you think the tide has turned against the French arms?
15958For the moment-- yes,answered Fritz;"but what of afterwards?"
15958From Indians? 15958 From the land of the far south-- from the rolling plains of the giant Mississippi, that vast river of which perchance you have heard?"
15958Had he ever been there before?
15958Has Mr. Pitt named me as likely for this service?
15958Have I not told you before? 15958 Have they the power to do so?"
15958Have we not yet had enough of procrastination?
15958Have you been wounded, sir?
15958Have you not heard of Robert Rogers, the New Hampshire Ranger? 15958 Have you seen the abattis?"
15958He knows, then?
15958How came they to be taken?
15958How goes the battle? 15958 How many ships have they in the harbour?"
15958How will it end? 15958 Humphrey, is that you?"
15958I am not wrong, am I, sirs? 15958 I look like a man to perform the impossible, do n''t I, good Stark?"
15958If so, how come you to speak mine own tongue as you do?
15958In spite of my cropped red head and lanky limbs? 15958 Is Canada weak then?"
15958Is he then wounded?
15958Is it dangerous?
15958Is it indeed you? 15958 Is it so in very truth?
15958Is not that so, Kate?
15958Is that poor fellow mad?
15958Is that so?
15958Is the General yet living?
15958It may be so, it may be so; yet who can tell? 15958 Kate, do you love me?"
15958My blunder?
15958Nay, why think that?
15958No; what story?
15958O Colin, Colin, when did you come, and whence?
15958O Colin, what have you seen?
15958O Fritz, Fritz, do n''t you understand yet what a woman''s love is like? 15958 O mother, what can it be?
15958Of course we will take you, Mademoiselle Corinne,cried Paul, with boyish gallantry;"why should you not see as well as we?
15958Old Killick roared out after a bit,''Has that confounded French pilot done bragging yet?'' 15958 Pleased that your country should do you this great honour?
15958Qui vive?
15958Resolute men have done wonders before now in such a charge, and why not we tomorrow?
15958So soon?
15958Spoke Sir Charles such words of me?
15958Susanna, will you be brave enough for this? 15958 The English have always been masters of the sea; have they not won themselves the name of''sea dogs''and''sea rovers''even from their enemies?
15958The fortress is ready to capitulate?
15958Then he thinks the cause is lost?
15958Then is General Amherst on his way here with his army?
15958Then the fight is not yet over?
15958Then were your forefathers French subjects?
15958They were,said the lady, with a sigh;"and yet can we wonder so greatly?
15958They will furnish money now; but what can be done with the winter just upon us? 15958 Was he one of the attacking party that desolated your homestead?"
15958Was that long ago?
15958We have done what men can do,said Captain Pringle to his friends Fritz and Roche;"but where are we now?
15958We have no enemies; why should we fear?
15958We have; but where is the General to lead us? 15958 What are our guns doing that they do not open fire and dislodge them?"
15958What do they think soldiers are for, if not to do their duty in the teeth of danger and difficulty? 15958 What do you expect me to say to that?
15958What else can I think? 15958 What happened?"
15958What have you heard, Charles, and where?
15958What is all the stir about, mother?
15958What is it they are saying all around?
15958What is it?
15958What is it?
15958What is the General doing over yonder? 15958 What is the matter?"
15958What said the Governor?
15958What say you? 15958 What think you, Corinne?
15958What think you, my young friends? 15958 What words?"
15958What would those raw lads from New Jersey do if suddenly confronted by a crew of yelling Indians? 15958 What, then, is to be done?"
15958When left you London? 15958 When was it, Charles?
15958Where am I-- what is it?
15958Where are Mrs. Ashley and Susanna to be found?
15958Where are we?
15958Where could any army hope to land along this northern shore? 15958 Where is the Governor?
15958Where is the Governor?
15958Where is the Marquis of Montcalm? 15958 Which is the house of Captain Jacobs?"
15958Who speaks of Quebec?
15958Who was it that spoke to me?
15958Who will go up to battle against this proud foe?
15958Why must men stand up to kill and be killed? 15958 Why must these things be?"
15958Why not divide our forces?
15958Why not, indeed?
15958Why not, indeed?
15958Why was I not here to fight and to die?
15958Will England never learn the lesson which her reverses should have taught her? 15958 Will not the town batteries sink them like logs as they pass?"
15958Will they accept?
15958Would you care so much, so much, were I to find a soldier''s grave?
15958Yes,said the Abbe--"that sounds a wise and wary policy; but will the Canadian militia be patient and obedient during the long period of inaction?
15958You are Captain Rogers?
15958You are better, Monsieur?
15958You are from Captain Rogers?
15958You are not wounded yourself?
15958You are not wounded, Humphrey?
15958You are pleased with all this, my Kate?
15958You have heard them speak of the Traverse, and what a difficult place it is to navigate?
15958You have not heard the strange story, then?
15958You have seen Julian Dautray, my friend and comrade who sailed away to England several years since on an embassy from the town of Philadelphia? 15958 You have seen him, then?"
15958You know Quebec, Madame?
15958You remember that day in the forest, Corinne, and how we were protected by English Rangers from hurt?
15958You remember the big, tall Ranger, whose name was Fritz?
15958You saw all that?
15958You think it can not be done, my friends? 15958 You think that?"
15958You think, then, that no British ship can pass the guns of the town?
15958You will come back, Julian? 15958 You will not run into peril yourself, my brother?"
15958You wo n''t surrender, eh?
15958You would not have us value our lives above the safety of our distressed brethren or the honour of our nation? 15958 ), you will not come back alone?
15958After a brief pause he recommenced in more rapid tones:"Why prolong the tale?
15958After all, if Quebec were to fall to such gallant foes, would she suffer much after the first shock was over?
15958Again there was silence, which Mrs. Schuyler broke by asking gently:"And your father thinks that there is some doom connected with that name?"
15958Ah, why can we not live at peace and concord with our brothers?
15958Am I not as much English as French?
15958And did he make no mistake?
15958And does not Wolfe say that, when once we get a footing on the shore, we will not leave till Louisbourg is ours?"
15958And had he not risked his life more than once that night to save those left on board the vessels?
15958And have they not reason to fear-- they who have done so ignobly?"
15958And how came that about?
15958And if England''s flag should one day wave over the fortress of Quebec, as it now does over that of Louisbourg, what is that to me?
15958And if so, why should not I be one to take up my abode?"
15958And if there, why not over Quebec itself?"
15958And is it yet known there whether this rumour of fresh disaster is true?
15958And now that the fulfilment seems so near, shall we not feel grateful to those who held out the torch of hope when all was darkness?"
15958And what did the pilot say?"
15958And why should they not?
15958And yet what think you of this?
15958And yet with all this, how are you to get into Quebec?
15958And, Julian( am I wrong in thinking it?
15958Another pause, another murmur like a roar, and a voice from the crowd was raised to ask:"And what says the Assembly to that?"
15958Are they baiting the Governor again?
15958Are they having another fight about the taxes?"
15958Are they here, and unhurt of the Indians?"
15958Are they not like fiery dragons spouting out sheets of fire?
15958Are they not like live things?
15958Are we not here to take vengeance upon those who have been treacherous foes, and shamed the Christian profession that they make?
15958Are we not strong and full of courage, seasoned to hardship, expert in our way with gun or axe?
15958Are we to let our province become overrun and despoiled by hordes of savage Indians, or are we to rise like men and sweep them back whence they came?
15958Are you blind with the smoke, my friend?
15958Besides, how can we trust an army which has basely deserted us once?
15958Besides, why should he be suspected?
15958But I can not look for an answer for long; and meantime are all our helpless settlers in the west to be butchered?
15958But how was it going with the others?
15958But how will you be able to undergo all that fatigue, and the perils and sufferings of another voyage?
15958But in these troublous times who can tell whether the messenger ever reached his destination?"
15958But the Marquis-- how goes it with him?"
15958But was the fire directed only at the opposite heights?
15958But what avail against scores of such foes?
15958But what can we do to save it, threatened as we are now by the English fleet in the great St. Lawrence itself?"
15958But what can we do?
15958But what matter if they do?
15958But what was the meaning of that crowd of boats all making for the city as fast as oars and sails could bring them?
15958But where are the prisoners?"
15958But why hark back to the past?
15958But would the gunners in Quebec see them?
15958But, Corinne, are you weeping because the English are about to take Quebec?
15958Can it be true that the French permitted such abominations?
15958Can nothing be done to stop that?
15958Can we ask a nobler death?
15958Can you give us shelter by your hearth tonight?
15958Can you help us?''
15958Can you make up your mind to be a soldier''s wife, even before the war has closed?
15958Can you secure for us a passage in one of your many noble ships so soon to return?
15958Colin, art thou sure?"
15958Corinne listened to all this with a beating heart, and asked of her aunt:"What think you that they will first do-- the English, I mean?"
15958Do not our wounded as well as your own bless the sight of your face and the sound of your voice amongst them?"
15958Do you think He desires to see a repetition of such scenes as that?"
15958Do you think Miss Lowther will ever love again?
15958Do you think something can have happened again?"
15958Does anybody know how they scalp their prisoners?
15958Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, life for life-- is not that written in the Scriptures?
15958Governor or General-- Vaudreuil or Montcalm?
15958Had not Louisbourg said the same, and yet had fallen before English hardihood and resolution?
15958Had the English got their artillery up to those inaccessible heights?
15958Had there been another massacre, such as had disgraced the struggle at Fort William Henry?
15958Had they been discovered, and were the Indians coming out in a body against them?
15958Had they not all prayed together, after the godly habit of the household, upon the very morning when this awful disaster fell upon them?
15958Had you escaped the perils of the war?
15958Had you not heard?
15958Has he a wife in England?"
15958Has he parents living, or sisters and brothers, or one nearer and dearer still?
15958Has human blood been spilt?"
15958Has not Fort Duquesne been abandoned before the advancing foe?
15958Has not Fort Frontenac fallen?
15958Has not that been proved a thousand times on European soil?
15958Have I not English-- or Scotch-- blood in my veins?
15958Have fresh tidings been received?
15958Have they really left us in possession of the battery?
15958Have we not deserved it?
15958Have we not twice the force of the English?
15958Have you lost aught beside?
15958Have you seen fighting, friends?
15958He knew that these brave men could fight like tigers; but to what avail, he thought, were so many gallant soldiers to be sent to their death?
15958His voice, his words, his phraseology seemed in some sort strange, and he asked him wonderingly:"From whence are you, friends?"
15958How came you here?
15958How have things been going in the town since I was laid by the heels?"
15958How long was it to continue?
15958How long will it be before the reign of the Prince of Peace, when all these things shall be done away?"
15958How will they like the long imprisonment in the camp, without being brought face to face with the foe?
15958I may sit with you at the supper table, may I not, mother?"
15958If I might make bold to ask you of yourself, how comes it that an English girl is in such a wild spot as this, and amid the soldiers of France?"
15958If an enemy could do this in a single night, what might they not have the power of achieving?
15958If this was the spirit which animated the English fleet, what might not be the next move?
15958Is he still in this new world beyond the dividing sea?"
15958Is he well?
15958Is it not like some wild diabolic carnival?
15958Is it true that Fort William Henry has fallen?"
15958Is little Susanna actually here in Quebec?"
15958Is that you I see?
15958It would be the greater glory to vanquish it single- handed; and had they not Wolfe to lead them?
15958Julian looked at the gaunt, prostrate form of the soldier, and said gravely:"But you are surely in no fit state for military service?"
15958Men have banded themselves together for this work before now; why may not we do the like?"
15958Next moment the challenge rang out:"Qui vive?"
15958Or will she go mourning all the days of her life for him whom she has lost?"
15958Our Marquis is a brave soldier and an able General; but what can one man do?
15958Saw you ever such soldiers as these?"
15958Say, Susanna, what sort of a welcome will you have for me, when I come to claim it after my duty is done?"
15958Shall not deeds like these bring about a stern retaliation?
15958Shall we pity or spare when we remember what they have done?
15958She has claimed half the world as her own; will she lose all for the sake of some petty quarrel with her neighbours?"
15958Six months to wait?
15958So you have been within the walls of the town, and have returned safe and sound?
15958Suppose you had been found out?"
15958Surely the French troops would face peril as steadily if they were put to it?"
15958Tell me, Julian, are they in need of food or wine or any such thing within the walls?
15958Tell me, how goes it?"
15958Tell us-- did Fort William Henry surrender?"
15958That is Scripture law, is it?
15958The men shook hands with a hearty grip, and one said to Humphrey:"You have had Indians here?"
15958The next moment he gave a great start, and held out his hands in a gesture of amazement,"What-- who-- how-- is it a ghost I see?"
15958There was no fierceness in his strange face today, and Corinne, looking after him, said wonderingly:"Who is he?
15958They had lived there for ten years unmolested and at peace; who would care to molest them now?
15958Think you that you can take a letter safely to him?
15958To which scale will victory incline, think you, Monsieur?
15958Was it a cheer or a groan which arose from the town as the symbol of surrender was seen floating above the battlements?
15958Was it not of that projected march upon Quebec?"
15958Was that the thought in your mind, John Stark?"
15958Were their ears deceiving them?
15958Were these vast solitudes too far away for God to hear the prayers that went up from them?
15958Were you the only twain that desired to join the fight?"
15958Were you with him when he died?"
15958What English ship ever feared to pass a French battery yet?
15958What about old Killick?
15958What answer could he make?
15958What answer shall we return to our high- minded adversary?"
15958What boots the victory we have gained here, if it be not the stepping stone to lead us to Quebec?"
15958What can it be?
15958What can she do for us here out in the western wilds?
15958What does it all mean?
15958What does the Governor?
15958What was it they saw?
15958What was the parent country going to do for her Western children in their hour of need and extremity?
15958What was the word which I heard you speak as I entered?
15958What would be the next tidings which would reach them of their brethren in arms?
15958What, dost thou want to come with me?
15958What, then, were they doing, hurrying back in their boats like hunted hares?
15958When are these notable fire ships to be sent forth?"
15958When do we sail?
15958When have the English ever fled like this before us?
15958When was it?"
15958Where are all the rest from your smiling valley of the south?
15958Where are you?
15958Where had he heard those words, and when?
15958Where is Bougainville?
15958Who are the Penns these proprietaries-- that their lands should be exempt from taxation?
15958Who are you, and whence do you come?
15958Who do you think has come to Quebec?
15958Who is he, and why is his name in all men''s mouths?"
15958Who was speaking to her?
15958Who was to blame?
15958Who''s got a tomahawk?
15958Why did not the Governor leave a stronger force over yonder to protect us?"
15958Why do we do everything a month or more too late?
15958Why do you try to break my heart?"
15958Why does he not take steps for our defence?"
15958Why had Point Levi been so poorly defended?
15958Why had it been left such an easy prey to the foe?
15958Why not be a party of bold Rangers, scouring the forests, and doing whatever work comes to hand?
15958Why not form ourselves into a band of Rangers?
15958Why not let him choose a comrade, and go thither with letters and messages, and tell his tale in the ears of friends?
15958Why should we give up the city because a few hundred soldiers have been slain upon the Plains of Abraham?
15958Why should we lie idle here all the long winter through?
15958Why should we not at least cut our way out to the free forest, if we can not rout the enemy and drive them back whence they came?"
15958Will any naval battle he attempted?"
15958Will the flag of England displace that of France over the town and fortress of this city of Quebec?"
15958Will you serve your distressed brethren better as Rangers of the forest, or as emissaries to England?"
15958With whom are you talking there?"
15958Wolfe raised his head, and asked, with something of the old ring in his voice:"Who run?"
15958Would the Governor grant them an experienced officer to lead them?
15958Would we have been as forbearing-- as stern in the maintenance of order and discipline?
15958You can all use snowshoes, I see, and doubtless skates also?"
15958You will come back?"
15958You will go and tell them your story, Humphrey?"
15958You will keep a place in your heart still for the rough Ranger Fritz?"
15958You will not forget us when we are gone, Susanna?
15958You would not have us hold back, if we can help to bring back the lustre of that name?
15958You would not hurt a maiden who trusts your chivalry and honour?"
15958and how quickly would it arrive?
15958and how?"
15958and were you here in the town also?"
15958and where shall we go when we get there?"
15958and where were you all the while?"
15958are you soldiers?
15958asked Charles once again;"how did I come to be hurt?"
15958asked Corinne;"are you not born in these lands of the West?"
15958cried Peter, waving his cap;"did we not say that the Frenchies would make a mess of it?
15958cried a voice from within, whilst Jack doubled himself up in a paroxysm of delight,"what are you saying so loud and free?
15958cried the midshipmen, when Colin told them what he had heard;"do they think to frighten English mariners with fireworks and bonfires?
15958d''ye think I''m going to take orders from a dog of a Frenchman, and aboard my own vessel, too?
15958did I not say so?"
15958exclaimed Colin, as he prepared to sail back to the dark city,"I wonder if he has seen the fate of his vaunted fire ships?"
15958have we not brought ruin upon our own heads by the wickedness and cruelty we have made our allies?
15958he asked, in a weak voice;"and how many are there of us?"
15958he exclaimed;"surely we are going forward to Quebec?"
15958he said;"is one of you that notable man himself?"
15958how fatal?"
15958how is it with our General?"
15958how were you?
15958how will it end?"
15958is that truly so?
15958oh, is it so?"
15958or had the flitting sails been seen, and would the iron rain pour upon the gallant vessels making the daring passage?
15958or is it true what I hear-- that your headquarters will be with the camp at Beauport?"
15958sighed the Abbe; and after a pause of musing he added,"Is he conscious?"
15958they will not give up Quebec without a struggle?
15958what are you two fighting about so hotly?"
15958what did he do?"
15958what do you think?
15958what if they do conquer?
15958what is hardship?
15958what is that?"
15958who goes there?"
