32226Have you found the flower of my heart?
32226Have you guessed my secret choice, and are you therefore to be my very ownest Prince?"

32226Her favorite flower-- was it not the morning- glory?
32226How came you here?"

32226What do you mean?"
32226What is the matter?"
32226What use to sigh for that which can not be?
32226What was the pretty Mermaid doing in her home under the waves?
32226What was to be done?
32226Where are all the Christmas candle- lights?
32226Who is there?"
32226Who knows but that Prince at home happily guarding Pierre''s snow- wet old shoes-- who knows but that Prince was dreaming the happiest dream of all?
32226Why are you not in that happy home this stormy night, once more making the Lord''s creatures happy?"
32226Why did you open the door, Bettine?"
32226Why had they never thought of this before?
32226Why, Josef?
32226Why-- has the little Stranger come once more?"
32226Will you be so good as to come with me?"
32226Would that please you, little flower?"
32226You are soon to go away?"
32226You are the same who tossed a bone to the limping dog and made him a bed in the stable?
32226You set the sheaf of wheat for the snowbirds, and they lighted upon your hands and shoulders and kissed your lips in gratitude?
32226You stroked the noses of the ox and the ass and said gentle things to them, because they were the first friends of the little Jesus?
32226You will bring him back to me?
32226[ Illustration: UNTIL HELP COMES]"Whither, oh, whither?"
32226[ Illustration: YOU WILL BRING HIM BACK TO ME?]
32226they said,"we shall have two little Blowers in the family,--perhaps a flute and a trombone; perhaps a cornet and a fife,--who knows?"
51263All ready?
51263All ready?
51263And s''pose we got afloat on the ocean,said Trot,"where would we drift to, and how long would it take us to get there?"
51263And where is Jinxland, please?
51263And who may the Princess Gloria be?
51263Are n''t they dreadful creatures, all covered with feathers?
51263Are n''t you afraid?
51263Are you certain this is snow?
51263Are you going to land?
51263Are you strong enough to carry us?
51263Are you very busy just now?
51263Brains working?
51263But I wonder if we can find something to eat in this place?
51263But how?
51263But tell us, Pon, who was Gloria''s father?
51263But what is an Ork?
51263But what''ll we do with King Krewl? 51263 But where''s Button- Bright?"
51263But who is that old woman who is running toward us and shaking her stick at us?
51263Ca n''t we help them in any way?
51263Ca n''t you fly along?
51263Ca n''t you get another one?
51263Ca n''t you like even me?

51263Did the river make a bend, after the waterfall?
51263Did you ever hear of Jinxland before?'' 51263 Do many strangers come here?"

51263Do n''t you think we''d better keep away from that King''s castle, Cap''n?
51263Do those witches have any magical powers?
51263Do you intend to stay long in Jinxland?
51263Do you mean to say this is the Quadling Country of the Land of Oz?
51263Do you think there is room enough for you to fly in?
51263Does n''t it burn you?
51263Goodness me-- fruit- cake and apple- sauce!--don''t you know where you are?'' 51263 Have n''t you discovered that you no longer love that gardener''s boy, who stood in my way?"
51263Have n''t you heard of me? 51263 Have n''t you the antidote, Scarecrow?

51263I wonder if it can be Orkland, the place I have been seeking so long?
51263I wonder where on earth we are?'' 51263 If only what, ma''am?"
51263If the earth were pushed in a mile, it would be a great calamity, would n''t it?
51263If you do n''t like me-- and I''m sure you do n''t, for no one else does-- why do n''t you go away and leave me to myself?

51263S''pose we fall?'''' 51263 Shall I unharness you,"asked Dorothy,"so you can come in and visit?"
51263Strangers, eh? 51263 Suppose I go ahead?"
51263Surrender? 51263 That reminds me,"remarked Cap''n Bill,"to ask you, friend Ork, how we are going to get away from here?"
51263Then mebbe they''re-- they''re-- What do you call''em, Cap''n Bill? 51263 Then why are you here, you rascal?"
51263They''re no good to us now, are they, Cap''n?
51263Want some now, Trot?
51263Was it the flogging you got that broke your heart?'' 51263 Was your cavern like this one?"
51263Water?
51263Well,said the Scarecrow,"did the King surrender?"
51263Well?
51263What country is that?
51263What do you mean by hitting me in the eye with an apple- core?
51263What do you say, Trot?

51263Where did_ you_ come from?
51263Where do you s''pose Gloria is?'' 51263 Where does he belong?"

51263Where is Jinxland?'' 51263 Where is he?
51263Where is she?

51263Who is Button- Bright?
51263Who is Glinda?
51263Who''s worrying?
51263Who, me?
51263Who, me?
51263Why are we insulted in this way? 51263 Why ask him, when we_ know_ he''ll refuse?"
51263Why could n''t you take some of the dark purple berries along with you, to eat after we had reached our destination?
51263Why did n''t I think of the Wicked Witch before? 51263 Why do n''t you eat?
51263Why do n''t you stay here? 51263 Why is that?"
51263Why not?
51263Why not?'' 51263 Why so?"
51263Why, how did you know all that?
51263Why, it''s popcorn? 51263 Wo n''t they see us?"
51263A bird?
51263Absurd, was n''t it?"
51263After a little, one of them asked:"If you make us big, would we stay big always?"
51263After examining it closely for a time he asked:"Which way does your tail whirl?"
51263And how did you happen to come to this island?"
51263And what makes you so bumpy everywhere?"
51263Are Trot and Pon around here?"
51263Are n''t you hungry?"
51263Are there many of you?"
51263As he sat beside her, talking of his adventures, he asked:"What''s new in the way of news?"
51263But I feel pretty sure that this occasion is an emergency; do n''t you, Trot?''
51263But for the sake of argument, friend Pessim, I''d like to know what good_ you_ would be, were you not alive?"
51263But how shall we ever find the road to Glinda''s palace, without the Scarecrow to guide us?"
51263But if she says no to Googly- Goo, and means it, what can they do?"
51263But tell us, what did you find down there?"
51263But the sailor said, in a quiet tone of voice:"Are you the only one as lives on this''ere island?"
51263But where are Trot and Cap''n Bill?"
51263But would you mind, my dear, stuffing that straw into my body again?"
51263But-- look there, Trot!--isn''t that a light flashing over yonder?"
51263Button- Bright looked down on the young man and said:"Who cares, anyhow?"
51263Cap''n Bill knew something of mechanics, and observing the propeller- like tail of the Ork he said:"I s''pose you''re a pretty swift flyer?"
51263Cap''n Bill walked straight up to them and asked:"Does the King happen to be at home?"
51263Cap''n Bill, puffing and panting, had just voice enough to ask, as he reached her side:"See him, Trot?"
51263Did n''t the great Sorceress give you another box?"
51263Did you cross the desert or the mountains?"
51263Do n''t you have water in Mo?"
51263Do n''t you see it?"
51263Do you call it a good morning when I''m pestered with such a crowd as you?"
51263Do you think you can keep from falling off?"
51263Finally Trot mustered up courage to ask:"What is a Mountain Ear, please?"
51263How are we to get away from this mountain?"
51263How did that happen?"
51263I never heard of anybody getting hurt in her dominions, did you, Button- Bright?"
51263Is it really raining?''
51263Is n''t that a house, over there to the left?"
51263Is that satisfactory?"
51263Making her way toward him, she asked:"What do you see?"
51263Next morning Dorothy said to Ozma:"Ought n''t we to go meet the strangers, so we can show them the way to the Emerald City?
51263Now, tell me: Which three of you birds will consent to carry us?"
51263Oh, Cap''n, what do you s''pose has become of him?"
51263Ork?"
51263Ork?"
51263Presently the King asked:"How did you penetrate to this hidden country?
51263Shall we go on?''
51263So the King bared his teeth angrily as he demanded:[ Illustration]"What have you done with Princess Gloria?"
51263Still, taken altogether, I''m very handsomely formed, do n''t you think?"
51263Suppose we throw Pon into the Great Gulf, your Majesty?"
51263Surrender to whom?"
51263Tell me, sir, what will the poor things do when they find they ca n''t fly?"
51263The Ork looked from one to another and asked:"Who is this stranger?"
51263The Ork watched him a while in silence and then asked:"Who may_ you_ be?"
51263The candle is not dangerous, I hope?"
51263The whirlpool caught me, and--""Oh, were you in the whirlpool, too?"
51263Then he looked at Cap''n Bill uneasily and added:"Wo n''t you let the poor things go?"
51263Then he said:"I must n''t break my promise to be present at the surprise party; but, tell me, could you go to Oz to- night?"
51263Then she turned to Ozma and asked:"What is that thing, Ozma?
51263Then the creature asked plaintively:"Do we eat now, or do we starve?"
51263They were nearly a mile from shore and about half- way across the bay when Trot suddenly sat up straight and exclaimed:"What''s that, Cap''n?"
51263We did n''t reach Davy Jones''s locker that time, did we?
51263What did you expect it to be?"
51263What do you mean by treating me so?
51263What do you observe?"
51263What do you say to our landing on that?"
51263What do you think of me now?"
51263What does she say, Sire?
51263What made you dig me out?
51263When all this had been arranged one of the birds asked:"Where do you wish us to take you?"
51263When they came to the house Trot sniffed the air and asked:"Do n''t I smell perfume?''"
51263Where do you s''pose he is, Trot?"
51263Where in the world did you come from?"
51263Where''s the grasshopper?
51263Who shall it be?"
51263Why did I not think of it my self?"
51263Why do n''t you test his powers?"
51263Will she marry me?"
51263Would you like to come with me?"
51263[ Illustration: Trot]"How much food have we got, Cap''n?"
51263[ Illustration]"Well, well, your Majesty; what news-- what news?"
51263[ Illustration]"Whose castle is that, yonder, ma''am?"
51263[ Illustration]"Why should I do that?"
51263are you alive?"
51263exclaimed Trot;"do you intend to take us up, too?"
51263was n''t it tenable?"
51263who''s here?"
39662''"Ah, Emerald,"she said,"so this is the pretty child you saved?
39662''"And shall I never see you again, then?"
39662''"Are you happy with Emerald?"
39662''"But Emerald will come too?"
39662''"Emerald,"she exclaimed,"you did not steal her surely?"
39662''"Oh, baby darling,"she said,"what has put such fancies in your little head?
39662''"Show me the pretty things,"she said,"and then, then you will take me home, kind lady, wo n''t you?
39662''"What are the memories of the past that make you happy to remember now?"
39662''"What are you all talking about?"
39662''"What is it,"she said;"is the lady angry with you?"
39662''"What sort of thing?"
39662''"You told me,"she said,"you told me not to live for myself, but for the service of others-- have I not been doing so?"
39662''A piece of news, you said, aunt?
39662''Ah, well, how would you like to hear a story, instead of paying another visit?''
39662''And do you think it_ might_ have been one of them I heard laughing?''
39662''And how did we get here?''
39662''And if you please where are we, and what are you going to show us now?''
39662''And nuts with the other?''
39662''And oh,''said Leonore, suddenly diving into her jacket pocket,''that reminds me, Fraulein-- where are the nuts she gave me?
39662''And this is the gossamer-- may I touch it?''
39662''And was it not strange that she should have come to meet us?''
39662''And what do you think we are meant to do now?''
39662''And what for, if you please?''
39662''And who sent you?''
39662''And why should we have"big fires,"or furnaces, or whatever you call the clumsy things?''
39662''Are n''t you going to eat anything yourselves?''
39662''Are they all the little young birds?''
39662''Are we half- way there yet?''
39662''Are we on the other side of the sky?''
39662''Are we up on the roof of the Castle, or where?''
39662''Are you awake, Hildegarde?''
39662''Are you going to take us all the way home yourself?''
39662''Are you going to take us somewhere?''
39662''Are you the air- fairies?''
39662''Besides what?''
39662''But if you make such a great many, where do you send the others to?
39662''But it looks as if very real people had built_ that_, does it not?''
39662''But please,''began Hildegarde again,''if I may ask you questions, do tell me what you are all busy about, besides teaching the birds to sing?''
39662''But the fairy did say something to you,''Leonore reminded her,''"throw high,"was n''t that what she said?''
39662''But where do they send them to?''
39662''But why should you want snowstorms?''
39662''Ca n''t we go to the Castle?
39662''Can it be water?''
39662''Could the gnomes be vexed at our coming?''
39662''Did I not tell you?
39662''Did they have a grand feast, and did they invite any fairies?
39662''Did you hear that, Fraulein?''
39662''Do you count gardening easy work, then, if you put such young gnomes to do it?''
39662''Do you have all you eat sent down from our country, or from Fairyland?''
39662''Do you make toys down here?''
39662''Do you mean that the little girl is perhaps coming to live here in this house with us?''
39662''Do you mean,''she began,''Hildegarde,_ can_ you mean that perhaps we are going to find the way to Fairyland?
39662''Does n''t the room look pretty?''
39662''Even if what?''
39662''Have we been dreaming?''
39662''Have you enjoyed the concert?''
39662''Here I am,''she said,''what is it?''
39662''Hildegarde,''said Leonore as they were walking on,''how shall we know when we are meant to crack the next two nuts?''
39662''Hildegarde,''whispered Leonore,''are you frightened?
39662''How can I tap with it?
39662''How could you know?
39662''How could you know?''
39662''How did we get out of the panniers?''
39662''How did you catch cold?''
39662''How lovely that would be,''she said,''do tell me what makes you think so, Hildegarde?''
39662''How shall we get to her?''
39662''I am not in the least giddy; are you?''
39662''I never felt anything, did you, Leonore?''
39662''I think,''she said, getting up from the ground as she spoke,''I think we must be going-- don''t you, Leonore?''
39662''I wonder how soon we shall know?''
39662''I wonder what will happen when we crack_ them_, Hildegarde?''
39662''If you please,''said Hildegarde,''are you packing flowers?''
39662''Indeed,''said the gnome,''and what then?
39662''Is it a very long drive to Dorf?''
39662''Is it time for us to go home now?''
39662''Is n''t it lovely?''
39662''Is n''t it pretty here?''
39662''Is not that better than your scorching furnaces?
39662''Is there any fear?''
39662''It was all too lovely, was n''t it?''
39662''It would n''t do to ask Aunt Anna, or Fraulein, I suppose?''
39662''May I, oh may I tell Leonore?''
39662''May n''t we get out here and walk on a little way?''
39662''May n''t we see the toy factory?
39662''May we ask you questions?''
39662''May we go now, Aunt Anna?
39662''May we walk through your-- garden?''
39662''Mending_ old_ horse- shoes?
39662''Never mind where you are,''the fairy replied;''is it not enough for you to know that you are with me?
39662''Oh dear, oh dear,''sobbed the little women,''what_ shall_ we do?
39662''Oh no,''said the old lady tranquilly,''I know you are as safe as you can be-- you are going to the woods, I suppose?''
39662''Oh that is where you have taken up your quarters, is it?''
39662''Oh, Hildegarde, how queer everything is down here-- don''t you think we had better go home?''
39662''Oh,''exclaimed Leonore,''do you really think we should?
39662''Oh,''interrupted Leonore,''is this the home of the Four Winds?--is this the place where they start from, and meet again and make all their plans?''
39662''P''raps they go back to Fairyland every night, and are here every day; fairies do n''t need to go to sleep ever, do they?''
39662''Please tell me, Aunt Anna,''she said,''as you were at Hildegarde''s christening, was there any one there who_ might_ have been a fairy?''
39662''Please tell us,''said Leonore timidly,''do you always sit here, except when you come up to where we live?
39662''Say?''
39662''Shall I ring it, or will you?''
39662''Shall we find you here when we come back, please, dear fairy lady?''
39662''She hoped you would come back with me after our walk; but, Hildegarde, what shall we say if they ask where we have been?''
39662''Singing- school,''repeated Hildegarde,''what can that mean?''
39662''Surely this is Fairyland itself at last?''
39662''Thank you,''said Hildegarde again,''may I have some blackberries?
39662''That means that I am to----''he cleared his throat and hesitated for a moment, then went on again,''to tire myself out doing showman; I suppose?''
39662''Then you_ are_ a fairy,''Leonore burst out,''and it was you I heard laugh on our way here-- wasn''t it?''
39662''Up to our world, do you mean?''
39662''Up to where?''
39662''Well,''said Aunt Anna,''this country is on the borders of Fairyland, so who can say?
39662''Well?''
39662''What are lucky pennies?''
39662''What are these things?''
39662''What are they doing?''
39662''What are you spinning now?''
39662''What can it mean?''
39662''What can it mean?''
39662''What can that be?''
39662''What has become of the little brown paper?''
39662''What is a presentiment?''
39662''What may I have the pleasure of helping you to first?''
39662''What shall we do with ourselves?''
39662''What?''
39662''Where have we got to?''
39662''Who sent you down here?''
39662''Why is the light so red?''
39662''Why not?''
39662''Will you give her my love, Fraulein Elsa, and tell her so?
39662''Would you not like to see a little more of our country?
39662''Yes,''she agreed,''but we would like to know why you are doing it-- I mean where are all the packages to be sent to, and what for?''
39662''You are awake, my child?''
39662''You have found it?''
39662''You have your nuts quite safe?''
39662''You wo n''t think it rude, will you?
39662''_ Is n''t_ she like an old fairy?
39662Above all, would she care for the same things-- would she love fairies, and be always hoping to see one some day?
39662And about to- morrow,''she went on,''may Leonore come up immediately after dinner?
39662And after a time, she began to ask herself how and where she was to seek for the treasure she had felt so confident of finding for the princess?
39662And are you always spinning?''
39662And is Dorf as near Fairyland as this dear old town, do you think?''
39662And it is n''t like a hotel, is it?
39662And the little breezes are kind, are n''t they?
39662And when they opened them again-- where were they?
39662And, I''m not sure, but I think I''m rather hungry, so may n''t we have supper at once?''
39662Are the chairs all covered with blue silk?''
39662Are you not happy with Emerald and all your pretty toys and games?
39662But I should have liked to peep into the houses-- wouldn''t you, Leonore?
39662But oh, Hildegarde, that must be the gate into gnomeland-- I am so glad it does not feel any hotter; it is quite nice and cool, is n''t it?''
39662But then, why did n''t you hear it too, Fraulein, and what was it laughing at, do you think?
39662But where are our beds, Hildegarde?''
39662But where was the tiny hammer?
39662CHAPTER V''WHAT''S O''CLOCK?''
39662CHAPTER VIII TREE- TOP LAND Where were you taught your song, little bird?
39662Could anything be prettier or rarer as a gift to our princess?"
39662Did you tidy it at all after I got into bed last night, Hildegarde?''
39662Do n''t you think so?''
39662Do n''t you think so?''
39662Do you never come down to our world yourself, fairy?''
39662Do you really mean it?
39662Do you think we denizens of the under- world are as stupid as your clumsy workmen up above?
39662Do you think we should see any of them?''
39662Does n''t the running and trickling sound pretty?
39662Flying or swimming, which was it?
39662Fraulein had said ten o''clock, had she not?
39662Good news, I hope?''
39662Have you had a pleasant afternoon?''
39662How can we find out how to make him go?''
39662How queer everything looks-- do you think the people are all in bed, Fraulein?''
39662I almost wish----''''What?''
39662I think we shall get to know each other far the best by being alone by ourselves-- don''t you think so?''
39662If only he and mamma were here, and your father, Leonore, we should have everything we could want in the world, would n''t we?''
39662Is it not in your pocket?''
39662Is n''t it too lovely?
39662Is that one he is making?''
39662Is there a mill here?''
39662It had n''t seemed half so late that night as it did now-- would ten o''clock_ never_ come?
39662It is the spinning- wheel fairy-- don''t you hear the whirr?
39662It is very late for them, is n''t it?''
39662It looks as if it had dungeons and-- and-- forti-- What is the word, Fraulein?''
39662It seems like the country, and oh, are n''t you glad to be out of the train?
39662It seems unkind to have lost them-- do you want me to throw these last three away?''
39662It was quite different from gnomeland,''Hildegarde went on,''and yet you say that both these countries are on the way to real Fairyland?''
39662It''s a nice feeling, going up so fast, is n''t it, but I wonder where we are going to?''
39662May I ask you to step inside?''
39662May I come this afternoon?''
39662May Leonore come to the foot of the Castle hill with me?''
39662My great- great- great- grandmother, was n''t it?''
39662Oh, I see-- it is cobwebs, is it not?''
39662Oh, it''s quite a common thing; but, oh dear, dear, what_ shall_ we do about the collation?''
39662Shall I go in now to see Aunt Anna?''
39662Shall we sit down?
39662That shows, I hope, that the air- fairies entertained you well?''
39662Then after a little pause she added,''Would your old aunt think me very silly for believing about fairies?
39662There was plenty for Leonore to think about, and dream about, that first night in the quaint little house, was there not?
39662They reminded her of some other smile-- whose was it?
39662We want to get to Fairyland, and you can show us the way, can you not?''
39662We''re_ there_--do you hear?
39662What are all the other countries, do you think?''
39662What can it be?''
39662What shall I do with them, if I must n''t eat them?
39662Where are the streets and-- and-- everything?
39662Where is your nut, Hildegarde?''
39662Who could be severe with her?''
39662Who sent you to kiss us, you breezes of May?
39662Who was it that worked them, grandmamma?
39662Whose smile could it be?
39662Wo n''t you eat one yourself?''
39662Would she be taller or smaller than herself-- dark or fair, merry or quiet?
39662Would you like to see them?
39662You have had rainy weather lately, I suppose?''
39662You have slept well?
39662You will not be anxious even if Leonore does not come home till dark?''
39662You would rather have it downstairs, I suppose?''
39662You''ve heard the story of the one that came to my christening feast?''
39662[ Illustration:"WHO SENT YOU TO KISS US, YOU BREEZES OF MAY?"]
39662_ Spring Song._ Where were they?
39662asked Hildegarde;''is the thread to make ladders of again?''
39662could it be that they were slackening speed?
39662said Leonore,''and this time I do n''t feel as if we had been dreaming, do you, Hildegarde?''
39662she exclaimed;''do you hear that sound, Leonore?
957All ready?
957All ready?
957And s''pose we got afloat on the ocean,said Trot,"where would we drift to, and how long would it take us to get there?"
957And where is Jinxland, please?
957And who may the Princess Gloria be?
957Are n''t they dreadful creatures, all covered with feathers?
957Are n''t you afraid?
957Are you certain this is snow?
957Are you going to land?
957Are you strong enough to carry us?
957Are you very busy just now?
957Brains working?
957But I wonder if we can find something to eat in this place?
957But how?
957But tell us, Pon, who was Gloria''s father?
957But what is an Ork?
957But what''ll we do with King Krewl? 957 But where''s Button- Bright?"
957But who is that old woman who is running toward us and shaking her stick at us?
957Ca n''t we help them in any way?
957Ca n''t you fly along?
957Ca n''t you get another one?
957Ca n''t you like even me?
957Ca n''t you see you are obstructing my view?
957Can I do anything?
957Can you destroy the love of Princess Gloria for the gardener''s boy?
957Can you find your way back home again?
957Can you give molasses?
957Corns? 957 Could n''t we walk without a light?"
957Could she do that?
957Did n''t I tell you winter was coming? 957 Did she, really?"
957Did the river make a bend, after the waterfall?
957Did you ever hear of Jinxland before?
957Do many strangers come here?
957Do n''t you think so, Button- Bright?
957Do n''t you think we''d better keep away from that King''s castle, Cap''n?
957Do those witches have any magical powers?
957Do you intend to stay long in Jinxland?
957Do you mean to say this is the Quadling Country of the Land of Oz?
957Do you think there is room enough for you to fly in?
957Does n''t it burn you?
957Goodness me-- fruit- cake and apple- sauce!--don''t you know where you are?
957Have n''t you discovered that you no longer love that gardener''s boy, who stood in my way?
957Have n''t you heard of me? 957 Have n''t you the antidote, Scarecrow?
957Have you been anywhere else, sir?
957Have you been in the water long?
957How can you carry me?
957How could you manage to carry us, if we were so small?
957How did you cross the mountains before?
957How did you happen to be there, anyhow?
957How do you like it?
957How does that come?
957How much food have we got, Cap''n?
957How''bout Cap''n Bill?
957How?
957How?
957How?
957I wonder if it can be Orkland, the place I have been seeking so long?
957I wonder where on earth we are?
957If only what, ma''am?
957If the earth were pushed in a mile, it would be a great calamity, would n''t it?
957If you do n''t like me-- and I''m sure you do n''t, for no one else does-- why do n''t you go away and leave me to myself?
957Is he hunting now?
957Is it?
957Is the hole blocked?
957Is the strange little girl named Trot?
957Lost your way?
957May I ask what country this is, sir?
957Me?
957Oh, Cap''n Bill, is n''t this fine an''dandy?
957Oh, are we?
957Oh, did it? 957 Oh, does it rain lemonade here?"
957Oh, indeed; and does he live there?
957Oh, what''s the hurry?
957S''pose we fall?
957Shall I unharness you,asked Dorothy,"so you can come in and visit?"
957Strangers, eh? 957 Suppose I go ahead?"
957Surrender? 957 That reminds me,"remarked Cap''n Bill,"to ask you, friend Ork, how we are going to get away from here?"
957Then mebbe they''re-- they''re-- What do you call''em, Cap''n Bill? 957 Then why are you here, you rascal?"
957They''re no good to us now, are they, Cap''n?
957Want some now, Trot?
957Was it the flogging you got that broke your heart?
957Was your cavern like this one?
957Water?
957Well, well, your Majesty; what news-- what news?
957Well,said the Scarecrow,"did the King surrender?"
957Well?
957What country is that?
957What do you mean by hitting me in the eye with an apple- core?
957What do you say, Trot?
957What does it look like?
957What does the Book say about it?
957What does this mean?
957What is a candle?
957What is that one thing you excepted?
957What is that?
957What is that?
957What made it stop burning?
957What makes it, Cap''n?
957What shall we do with the other four berries?
957What sort of an enchantment could she put on Cap''n Bill?
957What will you think of?
957What''s happened to you?
957What''s the matter now?
957What''s the matter with your King?
957What''s the matter?
957What''s the matter?
957What''s the place like?
957What''s this?
957What''s treason?
957What''s wrong?
957What''s wrong?
957What, are you our Ork, then?
957What, now?
957Where are they going?
957Where d''ye think we are, Trot?
957Where did you come from?
957Where do you s''pose Gloria is?
957Where does he belong?
957Where does it lie?
957Where is Jinxland?
957Where is he? 957 Where is she?"
957Who are you, what are your names, and where do you come from?
957Who are you?
957Who is Button- Bright?
957Who is Glinda?
957Who''s worrying?
957Who, me?
957Who, me?
957Whose castle is that, yonder, ma''am?
957Why are we insulted in this way? 957 Why ask him, when we know he''ll refuse?"
957Why could n''t you take some of the dark purple berries along with you, to eat after we had reached our destination?
957Why did n''t I think of the Wicked Witch before? 957 Why do n''t you eat?
957Why do n''t you stay here? 957 Why is that?"
957Why not?
957Why not?
957Why should I do that?
957Why so?
957Why, how did you know all that?
957Why, it''s popcorn?
957Wo n''t they see us?
957A bird?
957Absurd, was n''t it?"
957After a little, one of them asked:"If you make us big, would we stay big always?"
957After examining it closely for a time he asked:"Which way does your tail whirl?"
957And how did you happen to come to this island?"
957And what makes you so bumpy everywhere?"
957Are Trot and Pon around here?"
957Are n''t you hungry?"
957Are there many of you?"
957As he sat beside her, talking of his adventures, he asked:"What''s new in the way of news?"
957But I feel pretty sure that this occasion is an emergency; do n''t you, Trot?"
957But for the sake of argument, friend Pessim, I''d like to know what good you would be, were you not alive?"
957But how shall we ever find the road to Glinda''s palace, without the Scarecrow to guide us?"
957But if she says no to Googly- Goo, and means it, what can they do?"
957But tell us, what did you find down there?"
957But the sailor said, in a quiet tone of voice:"Are you the only one as lives on this''ere island?"
957But where are Trot and Cap''n Bill?"
957But would you mind, my dear, stuffing that straw into my body again?"
957But-- look there, Trot!--isn''t that a light flashing over yonder?"
957Button- Bright looked down on the young man and said:"Who cares, anyhow?"
957Cap''n Bill knew something of mechanics, and observing the propeller- like tail of the Ork he said:"I s''pose you''re a pretty swift flyer?"
957Cap''n Bill walked straight up to them and asked:"Does the King happen to be at home?"
957Cap''n Bill, puffing and panting, had just voice enough to ask, as he reached her side:"See him, Trot?"
957Did n''t the great Sorceress give you another box?"
957Did you cross the desert or the mountains?"
957Do n''t you have water in Mo?"
957Do n''t you see it?
957Do you call it a good morning when I''m pestered with such a crowd as you?"
957Do you think you can keep from falling off?"
957Finally Trot mustered up courage to ask:"What is a Mountain Ear, please?"
957How are we to get away from this mountain?"
957How did that happen?"
957I never heard of anybody getting hurt in her dominions, did you, Button- Bright?"
957Is it really raining?"
957Is n''t that a house, over there to the left?"
957Is that satisfactory?"
957Making her way toward him, she asked:"What do you see?"
957Next morning Dorothy said to Ozma:"Ought n''t we to go meet the strangers, so we can show them the way to the Emerald City?
957Now, tell me: Which three of you birds will consent to carry us?"
957Oh, Cap''n, what do you s''pose has become of him?"
957Ork?"
957Ork?"
957Presently the King asked:"How did you penetrate to this hidden country?
957Shall we go on?"
957So the King bared his teeth angrily as he demanded:"What have you done with Princess Gloria?"
957Still, taken altogether, I''m very handsomely formed, do n''t you think?"
957Suppose we throw Pon into the Great Gulf, your Majesty?"
957Surrender to whom?"
957Tell me, sir, what will the poor things do when they find they ca n''t fly?"
957The Ork looked from one to another and asked:"Who is this stranger?"
957The Ork watched him a while in silence and then asked:"Who may you be?"
957The candle is not dangerous, I hope?"
957The whirlpool caught me, and--""Oh, were you in the whirlpool, too?"
957Then he looked at Cap''n Bill uneasily and added:"Wo n''t you let the poor things go?"
957Then he said:"I must n''t break my promise to be present at the surprise party; but, tell me, could you go to Oz to- night?"
957Then she turned to Ozma and asked:"What is that thing, Ozma?
957Then the creature asked plaintively:"Do we eat now, or do we starve?"
957They were nearly a mile from shore and about halfway across the bay when Trot suddenly sat up straight and exclaimed:"What''s that, Cap''n?"
957We did n''t reach Davy Jones''s locker that time, did we?
957What did you expect it to be?"
957What do you mean by treating me so?
957What do you observe?"
957What do you say to our landing on that?"
957What do you think of me now?"
957What does she say, Sire?
957What made you dig me out?
957When all this had been arranged one of the birds asked:"Where do you wish us to take you?"
957When they came to the house Trot sniffed the air and asked"Do n''t I smell perfume?"
957Where do you s''pose he is, Trot?
957Where in the world did you come from?"
957Where''s the grasshopper?
957Who shall it be?"
957Why did I not think of it myself?"
957Why do n''t you test his powers?"
957Will she marry me?"
957Would you like to come with me?"
957are you alive?"
957exclaimed Trot;"do you intend to take us up, too?"
957was n''t it terr''ble?"
957who''s here?"
4358A weapon, ma''am?
4358About how long do you happen to be?
4358Am I to have the Magic Circle drawn around me, too?
4358And can we understand what he says?
4358And do you know where we are?
4358And how could any giant live in there if the roof is so low down?
4358Are YOU Bill Weedles?
4358Are any of them there now?
4358Are n''t you Chief Muffruff?
4358Are the outer passages well guarded?
4358Are there many others in the castle besides you and Zog?
4358Are these earth people?
4358Are these the sea devils?
4358Are they dang''rous?
4358Are they green, eh?
4358Are they in caves, or just in the water like fishes, or how?
4358Are we going anywhere near Zog''s castle?
4358Are we to be fed?
4358Are you a-- a mermaid?
4358Are you afraid to trust us to bring you safely back?
4358Are you all dumb? 4358 Are you dead, or drownded, or what?"
4358Are you fond of him?
4358Are you getting tired?
4358Are you part fishes?
4358Are you sure we have n''t any gills?
4358Are you very cold?
4358Are you well?
4358But how could you do it?
4358But how do you get along if the day is cloudy, and the sun does n''t shine?
4358But if anyone happens to see''em, what then, Cap''n?
4358But we are in mid- water now, where nothing will hinder our journey, unless--She seemed to hesitate, so Trot asked,"Unless what?"
4358But what can one do if one happens to be a sea serpent?
4358But where do you get''em?
4358But why do folks dive in the water when the mermaids smile an''wink?
4358But why does Zog keep his light going all the time?
4358But why should you seek revenge upon us?
4358Ca n''t they get in?
4358Can I do anything to make you happy?
4358Can he talk?
4358Can you do that?
4358Can you fight and conquer the big sea devil up in the dome?
4358Can you suggest a way to destroy Zog?
4358Could you forge me a golden sword?
4358Could you help us to escape?
4358Did it hurt to pull it?
4358Did n''t it say anything about a glove?
4358Did they ever live to tell the tale?
4358Did you ring jes''to tell me to git out?
4358Did you suffer long?
4358Did-- did you hear that, Cap''n Bill?
4358Do n''t the fishes catch and eat you?
4358Do n''t they get lonesome?
4358Do n''t you believe us?
4358Do n''t you care to die?
4358Do n''t you like him?
4358Do n''t you think you could get some fun out of trying to be good?
4358Do they write some comic operas?
4358Do watermelons grow in the sea?
4358Do you call him that now?
4358Do you care to sleep again?
4358Do you hate Zog, too?
4358Do you imagine the despised and conquered Zog has power to destroy them?
4358Do you know what Zog intends to do to us next?
4358Do you like Zog better than you do me?
4358Do you like it?
4358Do you like to be a sea serpent?
4358Do you mean Captain Kidd?
4358Do you mean to tell me that the earth people whom I have always respected compare me to the Stannerd Oil Company?
4358Does n''t it ever get dark?
4358Does n''t my bill of fare make your mouths water?
4358Feel, Trot, feel? 4358 Have they got arms, Cap''n Bill?"
4358Have you a suggestion, Clia?
4358Have you ever been here before?
4358How about changin''us back to our reg''lar shapes?
4358How about sharks?
4358How came you to be Zog''s slave?
4358How can we tell what to do without knowing what''s going to happen?
4358How did Flippity go to glory?
4358How do the crabs in the sea know anything''bout automobiles?
4358How do the mermaids live?
4358How do you like my home?
4358How does anybody know about mermaids if those who have seen them never lived to tell about them?
4358How much farther do we have to go?
4358How old are you?
4358How old is he?
4358How old?
4358How stuck up they are, are n''t they?
4358How''s that, Cap''n? 4358 How''s that?"
4358How''s yourself?
4358How?
4358I suppose these are the earth folks you were expecting?
4358I tried to save you, my poor friends, but--"What''s that?
4358I wonder where our legs have been while we''ve been gone?
4358I''ll see you again, wo n''t I, Joe?
4358In that grove of trees?
4358Is Cap''n Bill a mermaid now?
4358Is Zog a kind master?
4358Is Zog more powerful than the mermaids?
4358Is all quiet?
4358Is anything wrong, ma''am?
4358Is it a sea castle like your own palace?
4358Is n''t it a dreadful, lonely life?
4358Is n''t it nearly nighttime?
4358Is n''t it?
4358Is there anything else to be afraid of in the sea?
4358Is there no avenue that is not guarded?
4358Know what about''em, Trot?
4358Look, Trot; ai n''t that a brig out there?
4358Man- fish,he continued,"what do YOU think of me?"
4358May I ask in what way?
4358May I nip just one of the slaves, oh Zog?
4358Mr. Johnsing,asked one,"why is a mermaid like an automobile?"
4358Must we stand this insulting language-- and from a person to whom we have never been introduced?
4358No one likes to be reminded of a pain, and that third pain was-- was--"What was it?
4358No, are you? 4358 Nobody?"
4358Oh, do you know the sea serpents?
4358Oh, who cares?
4358Older than Cap''n Bill?
4358One what?
4358Other fairies have been seen by mortals; why not mermaids?
4358S''pose they knew how to swim, Cap''n Bill?
4358Shall we start now?
4358Shall we visit the crabs and see what they are doing?
4358So long as seven thousand four hundred and eighty- two feet, five inches and a quarter?
4358Tell me, my lad, is the opening in the great dome outside guarded?
4358That''s pretty old, is n''t it?
4358The ship?
4358Then how do you know, Cap''n Bill?
4358Then wo n''t you make the sword to please me and to show your skill?
4358WE know all about the fairy circles, do n''t we, Migg?
4358WHY do you think a mermaid is like an automobile?
4358Was the third pain as bad as the other two?
4358We''ve had a fine time, have n''t we, Cap''n Bill?
4358Well, are we not friends, then?
4358Well, how do you like him?
4358Well, it''s MY wooden leg, ai n''t it?
4358Well,said he,"do you not find me the most hateful creature you have ever beheld?"
4358What are Zog''s good points?
4358What are the sea devils like, ma''am?
4358What are they?
4358What are your commands?
4358What causes the light?
4358What color would my scales be-- pink, or purple?
4358What did you do?
4358What do the birds find to eat?
4358What does it all mean?
4358What does it mean?
4358What for, Trot?
4358What good would that do?
4358What have you got to eat?
4358What is Zog like?
4358What is he trying to do, anyway?
4358What is the Magic Circle?
4358What made it?
4358What shall I do? 4358 What shall we do, ma''am?"
4358What work do you do?
4358What''s he like?
4358What''s it all about?
4358What''s the difference between a mermaid and a tadpole?
4358What''s the odds?
4358What''s the trouble, do you s''pose?
4358What''s time for, anyhow?
4358What, already?
4358What, an''git drownded?
4358When?
4358When?
4358Where do the lamps come from?
4358Where do they live?
4358Where''s the rest of you, then?
4358Where?
4358Whither away, Commodore Trot?
4358Who are you?
4358Who''s Mummercubble?
4358Who, Anko? 4358 Who, then, has the time to rule over us?"
4358Who? 4358 Who?"
4358Why do n''t they sing''Annie Laurie''or''Home, Sweet Home''or else keep quiet?
4358Why do n''t you kill yourself?
4358Why do n''t you tell''em the truth?
4358Why do you come around here, then, scaring away my dinner when you''re not wanted?
4358Why does that surprise you?
4358Why has n''t anybody seen a mermaid and lived?
4358Why not? 4358 Why not?"
4358Why not?
4358Why not?
4358Why were we brought here?
4358Why, how old are mermaids, then?
4358Why, you ca n''t build a fire in the water, can you?
4358Why?
4358Will they hurt us?
4358Will you allow me to guide you, Cap''n Bill?
4358Will you help us, Sacho?
4358Will you lift Mayre aboard?
4358Will you tell us who you are?
4358With a fish''s tail?
4358Wo n''t he hurt us?
4358Wo n''t someone rob the house while she''s asleep?
4358Wooden leg an''all?
4358Would I have a fish''s tail?
4358Yes, are n''t your doctors sharks?
4358You ai n''t thinkin''o''doin''such a fool thing, are you?
4358You do n''t, eh?
4358After a moment the scene faded away, when the queen asked with another smile,"Are you satisfied?"
4358Again the cave rang with merry laughter, and as it died away, Trot said,"May I see your scales, please?
4358Ai n''t I likely to get stiffened up with all this dampness?"
4358Am I right, or do you think I am wrong?"
4358And are they green and purple and pink like Cap''n Bill said?"
4358And is n''t that Princess Clia?
4358And then he asked,"Does your queen live here?"
4358And who''d ever think that awful creature Zog owned such a splendid castle and kept his prisoners in such lovely rooms?"
4358Are n''t you''fraid?"
4358Are the sea devils their cousins?"
4358Are you ready and willing to follow me?"
4358But Cap''n Bill asked,"Is there any danger, ma''am?"
4358But now Queen Aquareine advanced to a position in front of their captor and said,"Tell me, Zog, why have you trapped us and brought us here?"
4358Ca n''t you trust our good friend, the queen?"
4358Can you sing?"
4358Did you see him when he was alive, Cap''n Bill?"
4358Do n''t you s''pose all these gold roses and things were made under water?"
4358Do n''t you think it''s rather cheeky an''unbrotherly, Trot?"
4358Do you s''pose there were ever any giants in that cave?"
4358Eh, Trot?"
4358Have you fairies nothing that is new to show me?"
4358How do they feel?"
4358How far do you think we have already come, Cap''n?"
4358How would you like for luncheon some oysters on the half- shell, clam broth, shrimp salad, broiled turtle steak and watermelon?"
4358How''s your memory, Cap''n Bill?"
4358I hope you are quite well?"
4358I wonder if they''re any happier than they were before?"
4358Is n''t it splendid, Merla?"
4358Is n''t it, now?"
4358It''s curious to talk about feet when we have n''t any feet, is n''t it?"
4358Jump in, clothes and all?"
4358Mermaids, eh?"
4358Neither spoke for a time, but finally Cap''n Bill asked in a timid voice:"Had n''t we better go back, ma''am?"
4358Or do n''t you know enough to be civil when you meet a neighbor?"
4358Shall we go in?"
4358Shall we make Sacho king?"
4358She entered from the doorway that connected the two rooms and said,"Is n''t it pretty, Cap''n?
4358So I at once sent for Dr. Shark--""Are all your doctors sharks?"
4358That is n''t so bad, is it?"
4358The queen smiled and said to Trot,"What is your opinion, my dear?"
4358Then he raised his head above the water and asked:"Is it peace or war, Muffruff?"
4358Then, suddenly becoming grave, he added,"How about my rheumatics, ma''am?
4358Trot and Cap''n Bill followed, with Clia, and the child asked,"What island are we near?"
4358Trot, being astonished at this sight, asked,"Did n''t you take all of you when you went to the cavern, Anko?"
4358Was n''t it funny at dinnertime to see the way they slid around with the plates?"
4358Were you alive, then?"
4358What are you doing down here?"
4358What do you advise, sir?"
4358What do you say, Cap''n Joe?"
4358What do you think?
4358What say you, comrades?
4358When he had gone, Trot said,"Are n''t you glad to find your brother again, Cap''n Bill?"
4358When the noise finally stopped, the leader turned to his visitors and, waving his baton toward them, asked,"Well, what did you think of that?"
4358Where?"
4358Who is Zog?"
4358Why should we be crushed?"
4358You pulled that bell cord,"said the one- legged( one or more lines missing here in this edition)"Oh, did pullin''that thing ring a bell?"
4358You see, Trot, we''re in consider''ble of a bad mess, an''if we ever live to tell the tale--""Why not, Cap''n?"
4358You would n''t like that, would you?"
4358exclaimed Trot, raising herself by a flirt of her pink- scaled tail and a wave of her fins,"is n''t it dreadful hot here?"
48778About how long do you happen to be?
48778Am I to have the Magic Circle drawn around me, too?
48778And can we understand what he says?
48778And do you know where we are?
48778And how could any giant live in there if the roof is so low down?
48778Are any of them there now?
48778Are n''t you Chief Muffruff?
48778Are the outer passages well guarded?
48778Are there many others in the castle besides you and Zog?
48778Are these earth people?
48778Are these the sea devils?
48778Are they dang''rous?
48778Are they green, eh?
48778Are they in caves, or just in the water like fishes, or how?
48778Are we going anywhere near Zog''s castle?
48778Are we to be fed?
48778Are you afraid to trust us to bring you safely back?
48778Are you all dumb? 48778 Are you dead, or drownded, or what?"
48778Are you fond of him?
48778Are you getting tired?
48778Are you part fishes?
48778Are you sure we have n''t any gills?
48778Are you very cold?
48778Are you well?
48778Are you-- a-- a-- mermaid?
48778Are_ you_ Bill Weedles?
48778But how could you do it?
48778But how do you get along if the day is cloudy, and the sun does n''t shine?
48778But if anyone happens to see''em, what then, Cap''n?
48778But we are in mid- water now, where nothing will hinder our journey, unless--She seemed to hesitate; so Trot asked:"Unless what?"
48778But what can one do, if one happens to be a sea serpent?
48778But where do you get''em?
48778But why do folks dive in the water when the mermaids smile an''wink?
48778But why does Zog keep his light going all the time?
48778But why should you seek revenge upon us?
48778Ca n''t they get in?
48778Can I do anything to make you happy?
48778Can he talk?
48778Can you do that?
48778Can you fight and conquer the big sea devil up in the dome?
48778Can you suggest a way to destroy Zog?
48778Could you forge me a golden sword?
48778Could you help us to escape?
48778Did it hurt to pull it?
48778Did n''t it say anything about a glove?
48778Did they ever live to tell the tale?
48778Did you ring jes''to tell me to git out?
48778Did you suffer long?
48778Did-- did you hear that, Cap''n Bill?
48778Do n''t the fishes catch and eat you?
48778Do n''t they get lonesome?
48778Do n''t you believe us?
48778Do n''t you care to die?
48778Do n''t you like him?
48778Do n''t you think you could get some fun out of trying to be good?
48778Do they write comic operas?
48778Do watermelons grow in the sea?
48778Do you call him that, now?
48778Do you care to sleep again?
48778Do you hate Zog, too?
48778Do you imagine the despised and conquered Zog has power to destroy them?
48778Do you like Zog better than you do me?
48778Do you like it?
48778Do you like to be a sea serpent?
48778Do you mean Captain Kidd?
48778Do you mean to tell me that the earth people, whom I have always respected, compare me to the Stannerd Oil Company?
48778Does n''t it ever get dark?
48778Does n''t my bill of fare make your mouths water?
48778Feel, Trot-- feel? 48778 H- m. Are n''t you''fraid?"
48778Have they got arms, Cap''n Bill?
48778Have you a suggestion, Clia?
48778Have you ever been here before?
48778How about sharks?
48778How came you to be Zog''s slave?
48778How can we tell what to do, without knowing what''s going to happen?
48778How did Flippity go to glory?
48778How do the crabs in the sea know anything''bout auto''biles?
48778How do the mermaids live?
48778How do you like my home?
48778How does anybody know about mermaids, if those who have seen them never lived to tell about them?
48778How much farther do we have to go?
48778How old are you?
48778How old is he?
48778How old?
48778How''bout changin''us back to our reg''lar shapes?
48778How''s that, Cap''n? 48778 How''s that?"
48778How''s yourself?
48778How?
48778I suppose these are the earth folks you were expecting?
48778I tried to save you, my poor friends, but--"What''s that?
48778I wonder where our legs have been while we''ve been gone?
48778I''ll see you again, wo n''t I, Joe?
48778In that grove of trees?
48778Is Cap''n Bill a mermaid now?
48778Is Zog a kind master?
48778Is Zog more powerful than the mermaids?
48778Is all quiet?
48778Is anything wrong, ma''am?
48778Is it a sea castle, like your own palaces?
48778Is n''t it a dreadful, lonely life?
48778Is n''t it nearly night time?
48778Is n''t it?
48778Is there anything else to be afraid of in the sea?
48778Is there no avenue that is not guarded?
48778Know what about''em, Trot?
48778Look, Trot; ai n''t that a brig out there?
48778Man- fish,he continued,"what do_ you_ think of me?"
48778May I ask in what way?
48778May I nip just one of the slaves, oh, Zog?
48778Mr. Johnsing,asked one,"why is a mermaid like an automobile?"
48778No one likes to be reminded of a pain, and that third pain was-- was--"What was it?
48778No; are you? 48778 Nobody?"
48778Oh, do you know the sea serpents?
48778Oh, who cares?
48778Oh; did pullin''that thing ring a bell?
48778Older than Cap''n Bill?
48778One what?
48778Other fairies have been seen by mortals; why not mermaids?
48778Shall we start now?
48778Shall we visit the crabs and see what they are doing?
48778So long as seven thousand four hundred and eighty- two feet, five inches and a quarter?
48778Tell me, my lad, is the opening in the great dome outside guarded?
48778That will be nice,said Trot, eagerly; but Cap''n Bill asked:"Is there any danger, ma''am?"
48778The ship?
48778Then how do you know, Cap''n Bill?
48778Then wo n''t you make the sword to please me-- and to show your skill?
48778Was the third pain as bad as the other two?
48778We''ve had a fine time; have n''t we, Cap''n Bill?
48778Well, are n''t we friends, then?
48778Well, how do you like him?
48778Well, it''s_ my_ wooden leg, ai n''t it?
48778Well,said he,"do you not find me the most hateful creature you have ever beheld?"
48778What are Zog''s good points?
48778What are the sea devils like, ma''am?
48778What are they?
48778What are your commands?
48778What causes the light?
48778What color would my scales be-- pink, or purple?
48778What did you do?
48778What do the birds find to eat?
48778What does it mean?
48778What for, Trot?
48778What good would that do?
48778What have you got to eat?
48778What is Zog like?
48778What is he trying to do, anyway?
48778What is the Magic Circle?
48778What made it?
48778What shall I do? 48778 What shall we do, ma''am?"
48778What work do you do?
48778What''s he like?
48778What''s it all about?
48778What''s the difference between a mermaid and a tadpole?
48778What''s the odds?
48778What''s the trouble, do you s''pose?
48778What''s time for, anyhow?
48778What, an''git drownded?
48778When?
48778When?
48778Where did the lamps come from?
48778Where do they live?
48778Where''s the rest of you, then?
48778Where?
48778Whither away, Commodore Trot?
48778Who are you?
48778Who''s Mummercubble?
48778Who, Anko? 48778 Who, then, has the time to rule over us?"
48778Who? 48778 Who?"
48778Why do n''t they sing''Annie Laurie,''or''Home, Sweet Home,''or else keep quiet?
48778Why do n''t you kill yourself?
48778Why do n''t you tell''em the truth?
48778Why do you come around here, then, scaring away my dinner, when you''re not wanted?
48778Why does that surprise you?
48778Why has n''t anybody seen a mermaid and lived?
48778Why not? 48778 Why not?"
48778Why not?
48778Why not?
48778Why were we brought here?
48778Why, how old are mermaids, then?
48778Why?
48778Will they hurt us?
48778Will you allow me to guide you, Cap''n Bill?
48778Will you help us, Sacho?
48778Will you lift Mayre aboard?
48778Will you tell us who you are?
48778With a fish''s tail?
48778Wo n''t he hurt us?
48778Wo n''t somebody rob the house while she''s asleep?
48778Wooden leg an''all?
48778Would I have a fish''s tail?
48778Yes; are n''t your doctors sharks?
48778You do n''t, eh?
48778_ We_ know all about the fairy circles, do n''t we, Migg?
48778_ Why_ do you think a mermaid is like an automobile?
48778After a moment the scene faded away, when the queen asked with another smile:"Are you satisfied?"
48778Again the cave rang with merry laughter, and as it died away Trot said:"May I see your scales, please?
48778Ai n''t I likely to get stiffened up with all this dampness?"
48778Am I right, or do you think I am wrong?"
48778And are they green and purple and pink, like Cap''n Bill said?"
48778And is n''t that Princess Clia?
48778And then he asked:"Does your queen live here?"
48778And who''d ever think that awful creature Zog owned such a splendid castle, and kept his prisoners in such lovely rooms?"
48778Are the sea devils their cousins?"
48778Are you ready and willing to follow me?"
48778But now Queen Aquareine advanced to a position in front of their captor and said:"Tell me, Zog; why have you trapped us and brought us here?"
48778Ca n''t you trust to our good friend the queen?"
48778Can you sing?"
48778Did you see him when he was alive, Cap''n Bill?"
48778Do n''t you s''pose all these gold roses and things were made under water?"
48778Do n''t you think it''s rather cheeky an''unbrotherly, Trot?"
48778Eh, Trot?"
48778Have you fairies nothing that is new to show me?"
48778How do they feel?"
48778How far do you think we have already come, Cap''n?"
48778How would you like for luncheon some oysters on the half shell, clam broth, shrimp salad, broiled turtle steak and watermelon?"
48778How''s your memory, Cap''n Bill?"
48778I hope you are quite well?"
48778I wonder if they''re any happier than they were before?"
48778Is n''t it splendid, Merla?"
48778Is n''t it, now?"
48778It''s curious to talk about feet when we have n''t any feet, is n''t it?"
48778Jump in, clothes an''all?"
48778Mermaids, eh?"
48778Neither spoke for a time, but finally Cap''n Bill asked in a timid voice:"Had n''t we better go back, ma''am?"
48778Or do n''t you know enough to be civil when you meet a neighbor?"
48778Shall we go in?"
48778Shall we make Sacho king?"
48778She entered from the doorway that connected the two rooms, and said:"Is n''t it pretty, Cap''n?
48778So I at once sent for Dr. Shark--""Are all your doctors sharks?"
48778That is n''t so bad, is it?"
48778The queen smiled, and said to Trot:"What is your opinion, my dear?"
48778Then he raised his head above the water and asked:"Is it peace, or war, Muffruff?"
48778Then, suddenly becoming grave, he asked:"How''bout my rheumatics, ma''am?
48778Trot and Cap''n Bill followed, with Clia, and the child asked:"What island are we near?"
48778Trot, being astonished at this sight, asked:"Did n''t you take all of you when you went to the cavern, Anko?"
48778Was n''t it funny at dinner time to see the way they slid around with the plates?"
48778Were you alive, then?"
48778What are you doing down here?"
48778What do you advise, sir?"
48778What do you say, Cap''n Joe?"
48778What say you, comrades?
48778When he had gone, Trot said:"Are n''t you glad to find your brother again, Cap''n Bill?"
48778When the noise finally stopped the leader turned to his visitors and, waving his baton toward them, asked:"Well, what do you think of that?"
48778Where?"
48778Who is Zog?"
48778Why should we be crushed?"
48778You see, Trot, we''re in consider''ble of a bad mess, an''if we ever live to tell the tale--""Why not, Cap''n?"
48778You would n''t like that, would you?"
48778[ Illustration: TROT]"S''pose they know how to swim, Cap''n Bill?"
48778[ Illustration]"A weapon, ma''am?"
48778[ Illustration]"Do you know what Zog intends to do to us next?"
48778cried Trot;"why, you ca n''t build a fire in the water, can you?"
48778do you s''pose there were ever any giants in that cave?"
48778exclaimed Trot, raising herself by a flirt of her pink- scaled tail and a wave of her fins;"is n''t it dreadful hot here?"
48778exclaimed the first fish which had spoken;"must we stand this insulting language-- and from a person to whom we have never been introduced?"
48778said Cap''n Bill, in excitement,"you ai n''t thinkin''o''doin''such a fool thing, are you?"
48778said Trot, astonished;"how stuck up they are, are n''t they?"
48778what do you think?
35920A mer- child?
35920Addy? 35920 Am I doing it right?"
35920And Chatteris?
35920And Miss Glendower?
35920And Miss Waters went?
35920And anyhow, why do they take us? 35920 And besides after all, you know, why should you----?"
35920And do n''t you have_ tea_?
35920And hairdressing?
35920And has he found out yet----"That she''s a mermaid? 35920 And he does n''t?"
35920And if one must n''t have''em, why should one know about''em and be worried by them? 35920 And is she really going to stay with you all the summer?"
35920And now?
35920And out?
35920And she really has... a tail?
35920And that is really what you came for?
35920And that way?
35920And that''s why-- in the old time----?
35920And that?
35920And the aunts?
35920And the other young man?
35920And then-- But how can he?
35920And what else was there for me to do?
35920And what have you been talking about so long?
35920And what then?
35920And what was_ I_ authorised to do? 35920 And yet----?"
35920And----?
35920And----?
35920Anything wrong?
35920Are you prepared to be as intricate as that?
35920As you do?
35920Aunts?
35920Back?
35920Books?
35920But I saw him only at a distance, you know,said the Sea Lady; and then,"And so he is engaged to Miss Glendower?
35920But are you sure?
35920But did he----?
35920But did you really just come----?
35920But do you really mean----?
35920But do you-- do you want him back?
35920But how did the story come about?
35920But how do you tell when it''s Sunday?
35920But how--?
35920But how--?
35920But surely!--what else----?
35920But what else_ could_ I do?
35920But what''s he done?
35920But what?
35920But why reason about it? 35920 But why-- why should the mask of death be beautiful?
35920But you''re not going to let it drop?
35920But, after all, what is the good of talking in this way?
35920But--struggled Adeline,"is it never put out?"
35920Ca n''t it be stopped?
35920Chatteris?
35920Come to think of it,he said,"it''s a rather complicated matter to explain----""To a being without one?"
35920Did you see Miss Glendower?
35920Did_ he_ laugh?
35920Do n''t they make a handsome couple?
35920Do we? 35920 Do you think I''ve been in Folkestone two days doing nothing?"
35920Do you think we''re going to make our public believe anything simply because it''s true? 35920 Do you want him back?"
35920Do you want him back?
35920Does he see-- the other lady?
35920Does he-- ask to be released?
35920Does he?
35920Does that constitute the hundred relatives?
35920Down here? 35920 Dreamer....""Other dreams....""What other dreams could she mean?"
35920Eh?
35920Eh?
35920Everybody has a soul?
35920Except me?
35920Fin and all?
35920For example,he tested,"are there-- by any chance-- other dreams?"
35920For example?
35920Forgiveness?
35920Gord bless you, sir, laugh? 35920 Had any golf lately?"
35920Has Miss Glendower?
35920Have n''t I been telling you?
35920Have you ever looked at eyes through a hole in a sheet?
35920Have you seen the lady?
35920He cannot-- What can he do with her? 35920 He did n''t see you----?"
35920He did n''t write to her about Miss Waters?
35920He has written to you?
35920He says there is one?
35920How can I put it? 35920 How can I say, Mr. Melville?
35920How can I, till I know what it is? 35920 How can we?"
35920How could he?
35920How do I know she is Death?
35920How do they live?
35920How do things stand? 35920 How do you know?"
35920How should I know how it takes him? 35920 How should_ I_ know?"
35920How was_ I_ to know?
35920How''s Paris?
35920How''s the fishing?
35920How?
35920How?
35920How?
35920How?
35920How?
35920I could go around with you in my bath chair?
35920I may take it to the_ Gunfire_ then?
35920I suppose the aunts will tell him?
35920Imagination?
35920In London?
35920In a paper?
35920Is it always golden?
35920Is it mine?
35920Is n''t it a little late in the day to drop it?
35920Is n''t she devoted to him?
35920Is n''t there a smuggling interest to conciliate?
35920Is that charity?
35920Is the young lady in the purple robe who----"Who carried a book?
35920Is there conceivably another way-- another sort of life-- some other aspect----?
35920Is there?
35920It ca n''t be anything wrong?
35920It is n''t as if he had brought about this crisis?
35920Keep_ what_ dark?
35920Look here, Micklethwaite,I said,"why is everybody avoiding that man over there?
35920Look here,said my cousin Melville,"what am I supposed to do?
35920May I ask what you are going to do?
35920Miss Glendower didn''t----?
35920Miss Glendower not well, then?
35920Miss Glendower?
35920Miss Waters?
35920More to do?
35920Mr. Melville, is just precisely where you come into this business?
35920Mr. Melville,she said, innocently,"what_ is_ a soul?"
35920Mr. Melville,she said,"what is a union of souls?"
35920No coming back?
35920No?
35920Not necessarily, is it? 35920 On Miss Waters?"
35920Oom-- what is it?
35920Or a weak will?
35920Prove what?
35920Quite bright?
35920Say you will go?
35920Seedy?
35920She cares for him?
35920She has means?
35920She has means?
35920She hints of these vague better dreams, she whispers of a way----"_ What_ way?
35920She may have had experiences?
35920She really means that canvassing?
35920She said that?
35920She seemed-- And is he very much in love with her?
35920Should n''t what?
35920Suppose he wants to drown himself?
35920Sure?
35920Sure?
35920Surely, dear, you do n''t mind?
35920Talked to her?... 35920 That it is so?"
35920That----?
35920The deeps?
35920The mater sent for you?
35920The mermaid?
35920The other gentleman who----"_ No!_"There was no one----"But several mornings ago?
35920The young man who carried-- who rescued me?
35920There''s something,he said deliberately,"that Mrs. Bunting does n''t seem disposed----""What can it be?"
35920This sort of thing?
35920To her?
35920To see what life was like on land here?... 35920 Understand what?"
35920Undine?
35920Was there ever a more ungracious, ungrateful, unreasonable creature than this same Chatteris? 35920 We''ve got perhaps a little more serious than--"he said doubtfully, and then,"What you have been saying-- did you exactly mean----?"
35920Well, is n''t there?
35920Well, why not?
35920Well?
35920Well?
35920Well?
35920Well?
35920Well?
35920Well?
35920Well?
35920Whaddyer talking about?
35920What are they about?
35920What are you doing away from Hythe at this time?
35920What are you going to do?
35920What broke out?
35920What do such things mean? 35920 What do you mean-- other dreams?"
35920What do you mean? 35920 What do you think of it?"
35920What do you wear?
35920What does Miss Glendower say?
35920What else can she be?
35920What is a great issue?
35920What is it? 35920 What is she?"
35920What is this being, who has come between him and all the realities of life? 35920 What name, sir?"
35920What other woman?
35920What precisely do you mean to do if you get him? 35920 What sort of people are they here?"
35920What the deuce,he said, addressing his inkpot in plaintive tones,"does_ that_ matter?"
35920What things unseen?
35920What were people up to?
35920What''s he done?
35920What''s his attitude?
35920What''s his attitude?
35920What''s one more or less of these ha''penny fever rags?
35920What''s the objection to her?
35920What''s this about a mermaid?
35920What''s this about a mermaid?
35920What, altogether?
35920What?
35920What?
35920What?
35920What?
35920What_ does_ grip your imagination?
35920What_ does_ she want?
35920What_ is_ the difference?
35920Whatever for?
35920Where are the others?
35920Where did she go, Ded?
35920Where''s Miss Waters?
35920Where''s your cigarette?
35920Where''s-- the principal gentleman?
35920Where?
35920Where?
35920Where?
35920Where?
35920Which house?
35920Who is that Miss Waters?
35920Who is this Miss Waters?
35920Who is this Miss Waters?
35920Who_ is_ this other woman?
35920Whom?
35920Why do n''t you ask the lady herself?
35920Why do we?
35920Why do you tell me?
35920Why do you want to know?
35920Why has he done this to me?
35920Why not come down to- night?
35920Why not?
35920Why should n''t I know?
35920Why should n''t I,she asked,"if I want to?"
35920Why?
35920Why?
35920Will you tell her I''m here?
35920Wo n''t they tell you?
35920Would you?
35920Yes, I know, but how?
35920Yes,he admitted,"but I thought_ your_ little movement was to be something more than party politics and self- advancement----?"
35920Yes-- Do n''t you call your little ones----?
35920Yes?
35920Yes?
35920Yes?
35920Yes?
35920Yes?
35920You are contesting Hythe?
35920You are going back?
35920You back?
35920You do n''t mean you''ve called on her?
35920You do n''t want a career?
35920You have seen and talked to her?
35920You here?
35920You know the case for the plaintiff?
35920You know-- all?
35920You left them all right at Sandgate?
35920You mean,she insisted,"you mean----?"
35920You mean,she said, with a pale face, half awakened to a new thought,"the way is----?"
35920You mean----?
35920You mean?
35920You think he can not marry this-- this being who has come among us?
35920You understand clearly she is a properly constituted mermaid with a real physical tail?
35920You understand?
35920You''ll take me ashore?
35920You''re sure of it?
35920You''ve got your arguments?
35920You_ mean_ to save me?
35920Your life, I tell you, is a dream-- a dream, and you ca n''t wake out of it----"And if so, why do you tell me?
35920_ There are better dreams._"What dreams?
35920_ Very_ much?
35920_ What_ little ones?
35920A tall young man with fair-- rather curlyish you might say-- hair, was n''t it?
35920Adeline has straight eyes and clear eyes and fine eyes, and all the difference there can be, what is it?
35920After all, I never saw Adeline at all until after all these things were over, and what is she now?
35920All this work, all this political stuff of hers?
35920And Miss Glendower----?"
35920And come to think of it, why_ should_ an unavoidable deficiency in a lady excuse one that can be avoided?
35920And is it painful at all?"
35920And now will you tell me, Mr. Melville, why should n''t Harry have her?
35920And then, as it were pursuing them all,"Pip, pip,"and the hat and raised eyebrows of a Low Excursionist still anxious to know"What''s up?"
35920And then, you know, the whisper:--"_ There are better dreams._""What dreams?"
35920And then----?
35920And why should I have to compete with her, because he-- because he does n''t know his own mind?"
35920And why, if we choose to do so, and taste this life that passes and continues, as rain that falls to the ground, why should we not do it?
35920Are you sure----?"
35920Are you there?"
35920Breezes and the spring tides.... And Miss Waters?"
35920Bunting?"
35920Bunting?"
35920Bunting?"
35920Bunting?"
35920But I do not think he would have bolted from Sandgate until he had really got some more definite answer to the question,"_ What_ better dreams?"
35920But about those saturated books and drowned scraps of paper, you say?
35920But are you sure she will be in the way?"
35920But if he does he''s clever----""Why?"
35920But-- if he will not come back?"
35920But----""Yes?"
35920Chatteris----?"
35920Chatteris?"
35920Cheerful home, eh?
35920Could any one not absolutely right be quite so clear and emphatic?
35920Did he look back, I wonder?
35920Do I look--?
35920Do n''t you feel it?
35920Do you hear,_ now_?"
35920Eh?
35920Eh?"
35920For me she is death.... Only why have I seen her face?
35920Had she really and deliberately foreshadowed for Chatteris some obscure and mystical submergence?
35920Had she really said this thing and quite in this way?
35920How can a whole life rush to a moment?
35920How can he live with her?
35920How can one answer when ladies talk in this way?
35920How can she breathe under water?
35920How can we know?
35920How can you expect me to do anything of that sort to- night?"
35920How do we know what she is?
35920How do you think we can boil a kettle?"
35920How it''ll all end----""But why has he come to the Métropole?"
35920How?
35920How?
35920I heard her....""And then?"
35920I suppose-- What do you think of her?"
35920If she comes to do mischief, why should n''t she do mischief without making me an accomplice?"
35920Is it finer?
35920Is n''t that enough?"
35920It''s a matter of the imagination----""For him?"
35920Look on-- until things ended in a catastrophe?
35920Melville?...
35920Mermaids?
35920Mr. Bunting remarked with a knowing air,"So you saw him then?"
35920Only very dimly he suspects----""Yes?"
35920Only-- as I was explaining to Mrs. Bunting, one must consider one''s circumstances-- how_ can_ one_ hope_ to keep anything nice under water?
35920Perhaps after all there are things beyond our reason, perhaps after all desire has a claim on us?"
35920Pretty mess all round, eh?"
35920See?...
35920She had brought up a son and two daughters, and besides she had brought down a husband to"My dear, how was_ I_ to know?"
35920She has been asking----""To help?"
35920So I made a mistake?"
35920Something there was in the nature of a caress, I believe, and then I incline to fancy she said"Well?"
35920Still-- one has the two points of view.... You have come up from Sandgate?"
35920Stuck?"
35920Suppose they were not anxious and afraid.... And what does she care for the condition of the poor, after all?
35920Surely Mr. Flange may do what he can to make religion attractive?"
35920THE SEA LADY[ Illustration:"Am I doing it right?"
35920The Wampachers are sending for a Bishop who used to be his schoolmaster----""No stone unturned, eh?"
35920The difference?
35920The other?"
35920They''re all chasing round saying,''Where is this woman- fish sort of thing?
35920Those elements of your chemists----""Yes?"
35920To us who watch you----""You watch us?"
35920Unless we are to believe there is no reason in things, why should this-- impossibility, be beautiful to any one anyhow?
35920Was there not some more plausible interpretation, some phrase that would lie out bridgeways from the plausible to the truth?
35920Was this one of these occasions?
35920Well, why ca n''t she see that she ought to release him for his own good?"
35920What ARE we to do?"
35920What am I to do?"
35920What are you?
35920What can she give you?
35920What does he dream of?...
35920What does he expect?..."
35920What does she mean?"
35920What does the man_ want_?
35920What else is there?"
35920What if she is a mermaid?
35920What is it?"
35920What is she trying to do?
35920What is she?
35920What is the condition of the poor?
35920What is there about her, or me, that has pulled me so astray?
35920What is there about her--?
35920What is this something about Miss Waters?"
35920What life could they have in common?"
35920What other dreams can there be?
35920What was she going to do?
35920What_ is_ it?"
35920Who is she?"
35920Why am I pulled about?
35920Why are they bound?
35920Why are they letting life slip by them?
35920Why have I been asked to come?"
35920Why have I heard her voice?..."
35920Why her''s and not Adeline''s?
35920Why not?"
35920Why should it be finer to see beauty where it is fatal to us to see it?
35920Why should n''t he have her?"
35920Why should reason and justice carry everything?
35920Why should we abstain?"
35920Why should you come, why should any one outside come-- into this world?"
35920Why should-- this being-- come into my life, as she has done, if it_ is_ so simple?
35920Why-- if one has n''t one----?"
35920Why?
35920Yes, but just what_ is_ everything?"
35920You can see her doing it here.... What is she seeking?
35920You do n''t happen to know the nature of her disablement?"
35920You do n''t know what''s the matter, Melville?"
35920You do n''t mean-- positively, in our terrestrial fashion, you know-- to marry him?"
35920You_ are_ a friend of Harry''s?"
35920[ Illustration:"Why not?"]
35920_ Why_ is she very beautiful?"
35920and then less generally,"What''s up_''ere_?"
35920he cried,"if these dreams are for Chatteris, why should she tell me?
35920said Melville,"what?"
35920said Mrs. Bunting to Mabel,"what_ are_ we to do?"
