40961 | Ever hear of old Robert Forgeron? |
40961 | Friend of yours? |
40961 | Girls? |
40961 | Have you changed your mind? |
40961 | How about it, Pete? 40961 How about taking me along to see for myself?" |
40961 | How about taking your girl friend along? |
40961 | How did she look? |
40961 | How old are you, kid? |
40961 | I wonder what you''ll think up for the spaceport police when_ they_ ask you? |
40961 | Jack? 40961 May I have a word with you, Dudley?" |
40961 | Oh? |
40961 | Pretty fast with the answers, are n''t you? |
40961 | Say, is Jack Fisher anywhere around? |
40961 | See? 40961 She tried that on you, too?" |
40961 | So early? |
40961 | The one they used to call''Robber''Forgeron? |
40961 | Towing? 40961 Well, I do n''t think you could have tracked me with your radar past the ringwall, so maybe I just went for a ride and a little stroll, huh? |
40961 | Well, do n''t you have any family? 40961 What about it?" |
40961 | What brings you around? |
40961 | What did you really do to make you so scared of going back? 40961 What difference does it make?" |
40961 | What do you know about where I''m better off? 40961 What do you mean,''Why not?''" |
40961 | What do you mean? |
40961 | What''s it like on Mars? |
40961 | What''s the trouble? |
40961 | Where to? |
40961 | Which loving relative won custody of the money? |
40961 | Why did n''t you buy a ticket on a passenger rocket, if you had such an urge to visit Luna? |
40961 | Why not? |
40961 | Why should they see me at all? 40961 Yeah? |
40961 | And how did you get that rig?" |
40961 | Ca n''t you take me? |
40961 | Did you miss anything?" |
40961 | Do you realize I''m eight-- I''m twenty- one and I never lived a happy day in my life? |
40961 | I did n''t get arrested this time, did I? |
40961 | I mean, what do you--?" |
40961 | Not pretty, but she might be in a few years._"What are you doing here?" |
40961 | Running from a family fight? |
40961 | She asked now,"What happens next?" |
40961 | Smack up grandpop''s helicopter, maybe, or flunk out of school?" |
40961 | So why ca n''t you take a chance with me to Mars?" |
40961 | That they still live mostly on hope, dreams, and regular rocket service? |
40961 | There was trouble behind this somewhere, he was willing to bet, or else why had she stowed away? |
40961 | What do you want a cop for?" |
40961 | What if there_ are_ four of you?" |
40961 | What''s the difference? |
40961 | What?" |
40961 | When do we go out and who''s the crew?" |
40961 | Where did you bury her?" |
40961 | Where the devil did you spend the last thirty- six hours?" |
40961 | Why? |
40961 | You did n''t see me bring back a shovel, did you?" |
40961 | You''re the next Mars pilot, according to the schedule, are n''t you?" |
40961 | _ But what the hell?_ he thought. |
40961 | _ That the whole population of the colony is only about four thousand? |
40961 | _ What does she expect me to tell her?_ Dudley wondered cynically. |
27228 | But tell, I pray thee, whence the gloomy spots Upon this body, which below on earth Give rise to talk of Cain in fabling quaint? |
27228 | Do you see yonder church? |
27228 | My eyes were dim, and so were Mr. Peggotty''s; but I repeated in a whisper,''With the tide?'' 27228 Trot, trot, trot; how do you enjoy that, my little man? |
27228 | What are you relating to me now? |
27228 | What signs of bad weather are there which sometimes you notice when storms are coming on? 27228 Who is she that looketh forth, fair as the moon?" |
27228 | Why does the dog waggle his tail? |
27228 | ''Hev I seed her out o''doors afore?'' |
27228 | ''Wherefore dost thou depart from the sun, Wandering by night alone, Courting the morning star?''" |
27228 | 4"Who''ll Smoak with the Man in the Moon?" |
27228 | And now some inquisitive individual may be impatient to interrupt our eloquence with the question,"What are you going to make of the man in the moon?" |
27228 | As these two desiderata seem indispensable to lunar inhabitation, we may chiefly consider the question, Do these conditions exist? |
27228 | Because what?" |
27228 | Besides, is the moon''s influence in disease an admitted fact? |
27228 | But some sceptic may assail us with a note of interrogation, saying,"Is there a man in the moon?" |
27228 | But who ever heard of the_ lunar_ rays as beneficial? |
27228 | For, as Pope puts it,--"Who shall decide, when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?" |
27228 | Hast thou not dropp''d from heaven? |
27228 | Have not we all frequently affirmed that we knew no more about certain inscrutable matters than the man in the moon? |
27228 | He had wandered long, when a_ hare_ accosted him:''Can not I help thee? |
27228 | If he doth so, why should not you Drink until the sky looks blew?" |
27228 | Indeed, what more have amateurs that they can do? |
27228 | Is n''t that nice?" |
27228 | Looking up to it, she said,''Why can not you come down and let my child have a bit of you?'' |
27228 | The Fabricator of terrestrial organizations has limited himself to no one type or form, why then should man be the model of beings in distant worlds? |
27228 | The man stopped, and asked the faggot- bearer,''Do you know that this is Sunday on earth, when all must rest from their labours?'' |
27228 | Then a voice came from the heavens, saying:--''Wouldst thou, thief, like Thy cheek to strike This fair key, scorching- red with heat?'' |
27228 | Thomas Dekker, a British dramatist, wrote in 1630:"A starre? |
27228 | To the question,''Is the moon inhabited?'' |
27228 | We know something of his residence, whenever he is at home: what do we know of the man? |
27228 | Well, my lord bishop, is not that how we die on earth? |
27228 | What beside sexuality suggested the thought of the Chevalier Marini? |
27228 | What good would that do you, then?" |
27228 | What? |
27228 | Where did we get these ideas? |
27228 | Which of the twain is its true gender? |
27228 | Who can fail to discern slight touches of the same hand which we see displayed in other designs? |
27228 | Who can reflect upon this dream of human childhood, and not recall some dreams of later years? |
27228 | Who can tell what the last fifteen years of this eventful century may develop in the same direction? |
27228 | Who shall prescribe to science her boundaries, or restrain the active and insatiable curiosity of man within the circle of his present acquirements? |
27228 | Why so? |
27228 | [ 169] And now what does Confucianism say of moon- worship? |
27228 | [ 24] This may be rendered,"Do you not know what the people call the rustic in the moon who carries the thorns? |
27228 | [ 354] In Dekker''s_ Match Me in London_, Act i., the King says,"My Lord, doe you see this change in the moone? |
27228 | [ 50] What more needs to be said? |
27228 | [ 53] We are here told how the author,"making himself a kite of ye hight(?) |
27228 | [ 6] Several astronomers assert the absence of water in the moon; if this be the case, what is the poor man to drink? |
27228 | _ The Man in the Moon_, London, 1827(?). |
27228 | why came he down From his peaceful realm on high; Where sorrowful moan is all unknown, And nothing is born to die? |
61242 | All right? 61242 Base Gagarin? |
61242 | But when do you think you''re going to get the lights fixed? |
61242 | Cooler? |
61242 | Do n''t we look silly? |
61242 | Do you think he did that deliberately? |
61242 | Everyone got enough air? |
61242 | For a moment there, I thought...."What? |
61242 | Got the inventory sheet, Les? |
61242 | Help? |
61242 | Help? |
61242 | Hey, Les, how''s it look? |
61242 | How are we going to know when it''s over? |
61242 | How do they possibly think--? |
61242 | How does this stuff work? |
61242 | How''re the other ones? |
61242 | How''s that? |
61242 | How''s that? |
61242 | Huh? |
61242 | Is everything all right? |
61242 | Larry, where''s the inventory? |
61242 | Larry,Major Winship said,"why do n''t you get Earth?" |
61242 | Les, have you found it? |
61242 | Now what, Skip? 61242 Okay?" |
61242 | Other one? 61242 Skip--_what''s wrong?_""The second little dome is down. |
61242 | So you want to be a civilian? |
61242 | Static? |
61242 | Still hot? |
61242 | Think it''s safe, yet? |
61242 | Think you can make it, Charlie? |
61242 | This okay? |
61242 | Want to bet Finogenov has n''t got a bushel of them? |
61242 | What are we going to do with him? 61242 What brought this on?" |
61242 | What is_ that_? |
61242 | What''d they say? |
61242 | What''s wrong? |
61242 | What''s wrong? |
61242 | What-- what-- what? |
61242 | What? |
61242 | When? |
61242 | Who was supposed to check? |
61242 | Why did n''t you just borrow a cupful? |
61242 | Will you please request the general to keep us informed on the progress of the countdown? |
61242 | With sandpaper? |
61242 | With what? |
61242 | Yes? |
61242 | You got any concentrate? 61242 You still okay, Charlie?" |
61242 | You sure? |
61242 | Any damage, Major?" |
61242 | Are you all right?" |
61242 | At length, Major Winship said reflectively,"Why do you suppose they would try to calk it from the outside?" |
61242 | Base Gagarin?" |
61242 | Charlie, you still okay?" |
61242 | Even if they did n''t, they sure got the jump on us again, did n''t they? |
61242 | He said,"Now that makes a weird kind of sense, does n''t it?" |
61242 | He told me to take a little scale--""A little scale?" |
61242 | Help?" |
61242 | How''s it feel, Charlie?" |
61242 | How''s the other little dome?" |
61242 | I told you what he told me?" |
61242 | Is the leak repaired?" |
61242 | Is there anything at all we can do?" |
61242 | Lawler said,"''How are we going to mix it?'' |
61242 | Leak? |
61242 | Skip, can you get the calking compound?" |
61242 | That''s the thing that gripes me, know what I mean? |
61242 | What''ll we do? |
61242 | When-- boom?" |
61242 | Where''s the markers?" |
61242 | Wilkins''s lips were desperately forming the word"Leak?" |
61242 | You A Okay?" |
61242 | You did n''t feel it?" |
61242 | You do n''t suppose they planned this all along? |
61242 | You riding okay, Charlie?" |
61242 | You want it?" |
61242 | You?" |
62260 | Are you mad? 62260 But then-- what?" |
62260 | Enough? |
62260 | H- uh? 62260 How about my bag--?" |
62260 | How''s that? 62260 Huh? |
62260 | Hummm? |
62260 | I-- er-- I beg your pardon, Isobar? |
62260 | It disturbs the peace o''the dingfounded, dumblasted Dome staff, does it? 62260 Jinky- wallopers, I won''t-- Huh? |
62260 | Notified of_ what_? |
62260 | Oh, cut jets, will you? |
62260 | Oh, it''s_ you_? 62260 Oh, no? |
62260 | Oh-- the pipes? |
62260 | Report ready, Jones? |
62260 | So I ca n''t play you, huh? |
62260 | Sweet snakes of Saturn, Jonesy, what''s the trouble? 62260 W- where,"faltered Isobar feebly,"is_ what_?" |
62260 | Want to play peekaboo while the contact''s open, eh? 62260 Well, hell, are n''t we all? |
62260 | Well, it''s Roberts and Brown--"What about''em? |
62260 | Well,he said,"one man''s fish-- hey, Jonesy? |
62260 | What? 62260 Yeah? |
62260 | You mean you have n''t been notified? |
62260 | You telecast a message to the Dome? 62260 ***** Afterward, Isobar Jones said weakly,But-- dead? |
62260 | Adventure? |
62260 | And the shooting? |
62260 | And what did you plan to do there?" |
62260 | And why, for Pete''s sake, the bagpipes?" |
62260 | And with_ what_, pray, Jones?" |
62260 | Bugs in your britches?" |
62260 | But what are_ you_ doing out here, Isobar? |
62260 | But, why--?" |
62260 | But-- how come you always want to take a squint at Earth when the circuit''s open, Jonesy? |
62260 | Can you hear me, Luna? |
62260 | Can you hear--?" |
62260 | Can you twist your mike around so it''s pointing out a window?" |
62260 | Did n''t you hear our telecast? |
62260 | Excitement? |
62260 | Four- alarm Riley, the cosmic comedian-- didn''t you know? |
62260 | Fresh air? |
62260 | Funny man Riley?" |
62260 | Funny man, eh? |
62260 | Have you read General Order 17?" |
62260 | His world- sickness is like a crying hunger-- By the way, where is he now?" |
62260 | Homesick?" |
62260 | How about the Grannies?" |
62260 | How comes with the report?" |
62260 | Instructor in_ what_?" |
62260 | Instructor? |
62260 | Isobar said,"H- huh? |
62260 | Jones?" |
62260 | Look, do me a favor, chum? |
62260 | Maybe I ought to call the office, maybe?" |
62260 | Not even allowed to-- Yeah?" |
62260 | Quick, man-- where is it? |
62260 | See that grilled duct over there? |
62260 | See that window? |
62260 | See that? |
62260 | Sometimes I get so mad I''d like to--""To,"interrupted a crisp voice,"what?" |
62260 | Such labor as caused Patrolmen Brown and Roberts to go, for example--""Any word from them yet, sir?" |
62260 | Suicide... mad acts of valor... deeds of cunning or knavery....""You mean,"demanded Sparks anxiously,"Isobar ai n''t got all his buttons?" |
62260 | Sunlight? |
62260 | The answer that caused the bagpipes to slip from Isobar''s fingers as Isobar Jones passed out in a dead faint:"After you? |
62260 | The romance he had been led to expect when he signed on for frontier service? |
62260 | Then you did n''t pick up our call? |
62260 | Then you picked up our cry for help? |
62260 | Those Grannies? |
62260 | W- hat do you mean, Commander?" |
62260 | Was it the sound- waves that killed them?" |
62260 | Were n''t you told that I would take your place here while you reported to G.H.Q.?" |
62260 | What''s''at? |
62260 | What?" |
62260 | Where are_ you_ going?" |
62260 | Will you do it?" |
62260 | You trying to scare them off? |
61674 | A rebellion, O Queen? 61674 A rocket ship?" |
61674 | A''bum''? |
61674 | All the cameras set? |
61674 | Any other news? |
61674 | Any signals from the Peak? |
61674 | Are they dead? |
61674 | Artana agreed? |
61674 | B- ray? 61674 Burned away, huh? |
61674 | Clouds? |
61674 | Did they say,asked Ross,"how Horta plans to make war? |
61674 | Did you ever see such a mess? |
61674 | Did you get that, Harry? 61674 Do we go on?" |
61674 | Everything settled? |
61674 | Fight what? |
61674 | Go on? |
61674 | Going to skirt the cavern? |
61674 | Gone? 61674 Has Horta been up to anything in the ray business?" |
61674 | Have you heard of trouble on the Earth? |
61674 | Hear that? |
61674 | Horta? |
61674 | How about ray- guns now? |
61674 | How about the blinkers from the other ships? |
61674 | How are the stars behaving, Harry? |
61674 | I wonder if it might not even mean--"Whatever happened to Number Eight? |
61674 | If there should be fighting--"Fighting? |
61674 | If you do, why ca n''t you say something? |
61674 | It''s a Regency, is n''t it? |
61674 | King Magnus was killed, perhaps not by Horta''s orders-- but who else would have plotted it? 61674 Magnus-- killed? |
61674 | New Kingdom? |
61674 | Now where? |
61674 | On the Moon? 61674 Or-- well, trouble in the sky?" |
61674 | Queen Boada-- and the Princess Illeria? |
61674 | Quite a scare, was n''t it? |
61674 | Shot away? |
61674 | So it is n''t going to happen? |
61674 | Sure you speak the Earth tongue? |
61674 | That''s all, Jorgens? |
61674 | The Earth- girls, they do not speak so to men? |
61674 | The Great Cavern, eh? 61674 The reservoirs are full?" |
61674 | Think so? |
61674 | Want to answer, Chief? |
61674 | Well? |
61674 | Well? |
61674 | What else? |
61674 | What good would they do? |
61674 | What happened? |
61674 | What''ll you do with the men of the Peaks? |
61674 | What''s going on? |
61674 | What''s our speed? |
61674 | What''s the play? |
61674 | Where are we? |
61674 | Where do you suppose we could get some guns? |
61674 | Where does that leave us? |
61674 | Where''s your sporting blood? |
61674 | Who takes over? |
61674 | Why do you say that? |
61674 | Wiped out? |
61674 | Would n''t it be better to stand off and wait for more news? |
61674 | You did n''t get a knock on the head, did you? |
61674 | You do n''t mean--"Why not? |
61674 | You do n''t suppose he''s a pal in disguise? |
61674 | You do not like me? |
61674 | You mean that you would fly over the Caverns? |
61674 | You mean, Artana sent this to decoy us in to Four and smash us? |
61674 | You mean-- Illeria? |
61674 | You mean-- the way the red stars go dim when we drain them of the red rays that power our ships and inter- planet communications? |
61674 | You really think that? |
61674 | You will not go? 61674 You would have me accompany you?" |
61674 | Your fleet? |
61674 | *****"Blue rays, then?" |
61674 | A jigger who might sell us out to the first Horta sentry?" |
61674 | And Seven? |
61674 | But he pushed her aside, and cried out to the helmsman,"How does she fly?" |
61674 | But how? |
61674 | But there shall be no fighting?" |
61674 | But what can I do?" |
61674 | But you, my friends? |
61674 | Can you-- is there anything I can tell the men about-- Number Eight?" |
61674 | Do you remember what Trowbridge''s message said?" |
61674 | Do you suppose they''ve gone to work somehow on the blue stars?" |
61674 | Had she resented his long open stare? |
61674 | Have you checked on any other blue stars?" |
61674 | He''s raising hell on the Moon, Commander?" |
61674 | How can I receive you, when my people are embroiled in civil war-- for that is what it is?" |
61674 | How could we be sure of some other guide? |
61674 | How did this door open?" |
61674 | How? |
61674 | Is that what you heard?" |
61674 | Perhaps that strange Purple Death of the Trowbridge message? |
61674 | Remember the Princess? |
61674 | Say, Bruce, did you hear the old girl?" |
61674 | Shall I cut speed if they do n''t signal?" |
61674 | Six? |
61674 | Surely that is occasion enough?" |
61674 | Then why not loose the waters in the reservoirs, and flood the caverns?" |
61674 | Think these pop- guns will punch a hole in it?" |
61674 | War- Lords of the Moon By LINTON DAVIES Bruce Ross, on the Earth- Moon run, asked a simple question,"How are the stars behaving, Harry?" |
61674 | Was history to repeat itself-- in reverse, with Horta''s Moon machines raking the Earth with death? |
61674 | Was that blow the last sign of his rear guard? |
61674 | What are you doing on this tour?" |
61674 | What if Horta were to make a sudden attack? |
61674 | What''s that?" |
61674 | What''s the trouble? |
61674 | Where was Six? |
61674 | Where''s Jorgens?" |
61674 | Where?" |
61674 | With what weapons?" |
61674 | You remember him?" |
46547 | And why not? |
46547 | But why all these Circumstances,replied I,"in your way of Fighting? |
46547 | But you''ll say, how could Hazard congregate into one place all the Figures that are necessary for the production of that Oak? 46547 For suppose him to be an Animal without Reason, would it be rational in you to Condemn him for offending against it? |
46547 | Good now,replied I to him,"do you comprehend the Nothing that is beyond it? |
46547 | How, a War,said I interrupting her,"have the Princes of this World, then, any quarrels amongst themselves, as those of ours have? |
46547 | How,cried all the Company,"did not you know by that, that they shewed you what it was a Clock?" |
46547 | How,said I,"will the Air become as solid as the Earth, to bear your steps? |
46547 | I well perceive you''ll put the question to me, Why Water compressed in a Vessel by the Frost should break it, if it be not to hinder a Vacuity? 46547 Not to insist on a long Deduction of Arguments to prove this, tell me in good earnest, How a Pike, a Sword or a Dagger wounds us? |
46547 | Pray tell me, when I taste a Fruit, is it not because the Heat of my Mouth melts it? 46547 Well, and because it can not complain, may we therefore justly do it all the Wrong which it can not hinder? |
46547 | What, do you take a Burial for a precious thing then,replyed that Man? |
46547 | Why then,replied she,"do they not chuse Impartial and Unsuspected Arbitrators to compose their Differences? |
46547 | You are in_ France_answered they:"But what Devil hath put you into that Dress? |
46547 | (* search: start p. 60:"the Earth, I threw out my Bowl...") The passages lacking were cut out then but by whom? |
46547 | And besides, what great Probability have you to imagine, that the Sun is immoveable, when we see it go? |
46547 | And he asking me, why? |
46547 | And how comes it that we know you not? |
46547 | And the_ Irish_-men, than_ Spaniards_? |
46547 | And what appearance is there, that the Earth turns with so great Rapidity, when we feel it firm under our Feet?" |
46547 | And why have you divided your Brandy into so many Bottles?" |
46547 | And why should not I, then, expect as favourable a Success?" |
46547 | Are you going to carry the News of it to the Governor? |
46547 | But if you ask me, How these Worlds have been made, seeing Holy Scripture speaks only of one that God made? |
46547 | But if you still demand of me, how I come to know that Cabbage and Coleworts conceive such pretty Thoughts? |
46547 | But then all cried,"Do n''t you see here Earth, Rivers, Seas? |
46547 | But you know not,"added he,"what a pleasant Quarrel I have just now had with our Fathers, upon your account? |
46547 | Did your Father consult your Will and Pleasure, when he Embraced your Mother? |
46547 | Do you think it strange, that the first Men of your World lived so many Ages without the least Knowledge of Physick? |
46547 | Does there a Sponge go out of my Ears, that drinks up that Musick, and brings it back with it again? |
46547 | Doth not Itching make good what I say? |
46547 | For grant he hath escaped, what then? |
46547 | For how could these great Fires subsist without some matter, that served them for Fewel? |
46547 | Have not I as much Boldness as he? |
46547 | He asked my Guide if I would have a dozen of Larks, because_ Baboons_( one of which he took me to be,) loved to feed on them? |
46547 | He then intreated me to tell him, how I durst be so bold as to Scale the Moon with the Machine I told him of? |
46547 | How can you constrain him not to have Visions, as well as you? |
46547 | How long Men had gone naked in_ France_? |
46547 | How will you then, most Venerable Assembly, justifie your selves for being so concerned at the Caprices of that little Animal? |
46547 | How, must it be said, because the Sun measures our Days and Years, that it hath only been made to keep us from running our Heads against the Walls? |
46547 | I ask you, why are Elephants bigger than we? |
46547 | I asked him how they lived? |
46547 | I asked him, but with a great deal of pain,( for I was quite choked) how far they reckoned from thence to_ Paris_? |
46547 | I asked him, if it was a Note for the Reckoning? |
46547 | I asked him, if they were Bodies as we are? |
46547 | I asked him, what probable Arguments he had, to confirm so new an Opinion? |
46547 | I expect you''ll ask me, why through a Reed, a Syringe or a Pump, Water is forced to ascend contrary to its inclination? |
46547 | I farther asked him, If these Verses would always serve, if one Transcribed them? |
46547 | If Art then be capable of inclining a Body to a perpetual Motion, why may we not believe that Nature can do it? |
46547 | If I find a Wretch bound Hand and Foot, may I lawfully kill him, because he can not defend himself? |
46547 | If you adore a Woman, is it not because of her Beauty? |
46547 | If you ask me, why are they bigger than other imperceptible Creatures? |
46547 | Is it because they are not as yet deprived of Sight, by the Death of all their Senses? |
46547 | Is it not enough, that both Armies are equal in the number of Men?" |
46547 | Is it not far more likely, that his Fancy, being excited by violent Desires, hath done its Duty and wrought the Cure? |
46547 | Is not she the common Mother of you both? |
46547 | Is not the whole World wrapt up in Nothing? |
46547 | Is the Fleet then arrived? |
46547 | Matthew Prior:"Can syllogisms set things right? |
46547 | My Spirit observed it, and having asked me, What was the reason that my Humor was so much altered? |
46547 | Nay, are you sure he hath not hindered you from Inheriting a Crown? |
46547 | Or does the Player beget in my Head another little Musician, with another little Lute, who has Orders like an Eccho to sing over to me the same Airs? |
46547 | So far was he gone on in his Discourse, when the young Lad, who had led out our Philosopher, led him in again;"What, Supped already?" |
46547 | They asked me, why I came so late? |
46547 | To say that it is incomprehensible, that there should be a Nothing in the World, that we are in part made up of Nothing: Why not, pray? |
46547 | Verses,"said I,"are your Inn- Keepers here curious of Rhime then?" |
46547 | When they were come within hearing, I asked them, Where I was? |
46547 | When you yield to the Stronger, is it not that he should be obliged to you for a Victory which you can not Dispute him? |
46547 | Why should you then continue your Cringes, when Old Age hath made her a Ghost, which only represents a hideous Picture of Death? |
46547 | You''ll ask me, How can it be, that I perceive at so great a distance a thing which I do not see? |
46547 | You''ll ask me, perhaps, when ever any Cabbage imparted those lofty Conceptions to us? |
46547 | [ 10] The incandescent electric light? |
46547 | [ 3] Is this an anticipation of the phonograph? |
46547 | [ Sidenote: The Soul of Plants]"For tell me, Is not that Cabbage you speak of, a Being existent in Nature, as well as you? |
46547 | [ Sidenote: Towns in the Moon] At these words, the Landlord''s Son called his Father, to know what it was a Clock? |
46547 | and why they fled from me in so great Consternation? |
46547 | answered I half angry:"Have you laid a wager you''ll jeer me all this Day?" |
46547 | must it needs be a Miracle? |
46547 | said he in_ French_,"do you[ not] know your Friend then?" |
46547 | what''s all that then?" |
50713 | A friend? 50713 A radio, flares, mirrors?" |
50713 | And now that you say it, do you know what that current is? 50713 Are there animals here without eye or light?" |
50713 | But surely there must be some way of calling their attention even sooner? |
50713 | But what happened when Von Borck returned here to get his space suit? |
50713 | But why did n''t you just stay here instead of going out? |
50713 | Can we send a message back to Earth then? |
50713 | Could you lead me there? |
50713 | Did you ever see one of those blasts? |
50713 | Did you get hit? |
50713 | Did you understand him? |
50713 | Do n''t you know,said the other,"this is that big top- secret experimental job they were working so fast on this week? |
50713 | Do you have a rocket on the surface? |
50713 | Do you have flares? |
50713 | Do you suppose Von Borck is following us? |
50713 | Have I been out long? |
50713 | Have you ever fired a rifle or a pistol, Robin? |
50713 | Here? 50713 How did you ever find this passage?" |
50713 | How did you spot that break in the wall we came through? |
50713 | How far do you think it will go? |
50713 | How far is White Sands from Las Cruces? |
50713 | Is there anything there we could use to signal the Earth with? |
50713 | No rocket? 50713 No visitors?" |
50713 | Only how do we get to the surface? 50713 Shall I untie this or shall we jump together?" |
50713 | Shall we wait for him to come back or shall we try to follow him? |
50713 | Suppose the Glassies see the light? |
50713 | The instruments in place? |
50713 | There are many bubble- places without light? |
50713 | This is the one they''re firing off tomorrow, is n''t it? |
50713 | Uh huh,said Robin,"and then how do we get back down here again?" |
50713 | Uh uh, so they say, but you notice where they moved our outfit, did n''t you? 50713 Well,"he asked Peter,"what do we do now?" |
50713 | What am I waiting for? |
50713 | What do we do now? |
50713 | What happened? |
50713 | What is it? |
50713 | What is it? |
50713 | What now? |
50713 | What now? |
50713 | What station? |
50713 | What''s the source of the electricity? |
50713 | What''s the trouble, fellow? |
50713 | What? |
50713 | Where did you get your name? 50713 Where''d he go?" |
50713 | Who are you? |
50713 | Who was in charge of them? |
50713 | Wo n''t they kill you if you go back? |
50713 | Yes, we''re lucky to be alive, but how will we ever get back to the surface now? 50713 Yes,"said Peter,"but how?" |
50713 | Actually what could they do to him? |
50713 | Again, escape though he might, could he save Korree too? |
50713 | All set?" |
50713 | And I wonder what metal this is? |
50713 | And how do you spell your last name?" |
50713 | And how was it he was a prisoner? |
50713 | And what are they doing there?" |
50713 | Are you hit?" |
50713 | But could he risk it? |
50713 | But escape to what? |
50713 | But how to combine atomic explosions with controlled rocket fire? |
50713 | But maybe you know more about our family?" |
50713 | But now-- were these unknowns dangerous to him? |
50713 | But what about water? |
50713 | But what time was it now? |
50713 | But where did he come from? |
50713 | But who knows?" |
50713 | Could he survive? |
50713 | Could it be that he was already in outer space, heading for the void, never to return to Earth? |
50713 | Could it be that the inventors had miscalculated? |
50713 | Did you say they were firing it at six?" |
50713 | Do you think you could get back to your rocket on the surface?" |
50713 | Feel like some hot food? |
50713 | Finally he reached out and tapped the Glassie and whispered,"What are those lights?" |
50713 | Had he suddenly become weak? |
50713 | Had they seen his flashlight? |
50713 | Had they taken the wrong turn and come to a dead end? |
50713 | He thought he was falling, but was it not just as likely that instead he was simply beyond gravity? |
50713 | He was the first-- but who would ever know? |
50713 | How about you? |
50713 | How could he tell how long he had been asleep, how long unconscious? |
50713 | How did he get here? |
50713 | How did you say you got here?" |
50713 | How do we know Von went down here? |
50713 | How far? |
50713 | How fast was he traveling? |
50713 | How had his companion vanished? |
50713 | How long had he been at this? |
50713 | How long had he slept? |
50713 | How was it the air was remaining fresh now, though it had gone stale while he was hiding? |
50713 | How would you blow it up in the first place? |
50713 | I wonder how cold it will get in this place?" |
50713 | I wonder if this is really writing or just a design? |
50713 | If he delayed, doled it to himself in small bits, it could only prolong the agony awhile, but would not the result still be the same? |
50713 | If there were air, was it enough to sustain him? |
50713 | In this tunnel?" |
50713 | Is food here?" |
50713 | Is there someone here who speaks English?" |
50713 | Is this stuff good to eat?" |
50713 | Korree said quietly,"Another prisoner or a listener?" |
50713 | Maybe they hire civilian workers? |
50713 | Might it not be poisonous or utterly lacking in oxygen? |
50713 | On the back it read:_ Ready for loading._"I better put this back where it fell from,"he said, adding,"but which side is correct? |
50713 | One of your people? |
50713 | Or-- maybe if you enlist there they''ll let you serve there? |
50713 | Perhaps Korree was in trouble there? |
50713 | Real Earth food?" |
50713 | Robin suddenly asked,"How did you learn to speak English so well?" |
50713 | Robin was on his way to the rockets, to the famous White Sands Proving Grounds... or was he? |
50713 | Save it for what? |
50713 | Shall we set them off?" |
50713 | Should he eat it now or save it? |
50713 | Should we plant the Red flag there, or you the Stars and Stripes? |
50713 | So... what would really happen when his rocket hit the Moon? |
50713 | Such a chunk brought back to Earth might be worth an emperor''s ransom-- but who could think of such values here? |
50713 | Suppose they caught him there, would he get off as lightly as he might at White Sands? |
50713 | Surely they must have been supplied with some sort of food for their flight? |
50713 | The question was, where could he escape to? |
50713 | The unseen speaker spoke again:"Who is that? |
50713 | Trackers on the job?" |
50713 | Was it a few feet or a fraction of an inch? |
50713 | Was it a rocket? |
50713 | Was it after all but a daydream that he was pursuing? |
50713 | Was it mist he was passing through? |
50713 | Was not this then such a crossroads? |
50713 | Was the cold reality to prove too indifferent to the hopes of just an ordinary young fellow? |
50713 | Was there air outside, wherever it was that he found himself? |
50713 | Was this a mistake he would regret? |
50713 | Water-- under the Moon? |
50713 | Were they coming to investigate? |
50713 | What could he do? |
50713 | What did they have of yours?" |
50713 | What do you say, shall we spend this next week playing Columbus, looking for more bubble worlds to conquer?" |
50713 | What even if he went to jail? |
50713 | What had brought him in? |
50713 | What next? |
50713 | What then if he spent some bad hours under arrest? |
50713 | What was going on here? |
50713 | What was the Red Sands Station anyway? |
50713 | What was the secret? |
50713 | What was this? |
50713 | When Robin had finished, he asked,"Now I want to know about you? |
50713 | When this pack was used up, how could he make fire? |
50713 | Where are you?" |
50713 | Where was Red Sands? |
50713 | Which way did you come?" |
50713 | White Sands or Red? |
50713 | White Sands or Red?_ From Missouri where the bus ride had ended, the time had passed with difficulty. |
50713 | Why had he never heard of it? |
50713 | Why not sign up and try for it?" |
50713 | Why were they standing, he thought, why did n''t they go on in, punch their cards? |
50713 | Would White Sands prove a disappointment? |
50713 | _ Red_ Sands? |
43235 | Accident? |
43235 | Adam,the Colonel hesitated a long moment,"does the name Pickering mean anything to you?" |
43235 | Again? |
43235 | Ah, yes, how could I have forgotten? |
43235 | And the second possibility? |
43235 | And the second? |
43235 | And you? |
43235 | And...? |
43235 | Another one? |
43235 | Any idea what kind? |
43235 | Any reason you ca n''t help? |
43235 | Any sign of a drone with it? |
43235 | But about Nagel...? |
43235 | Can I tell him that? |
43235 | Can you locate it? |
43235 | Can you make it that fast? |
43235 | Certainly, but about Gordon Nagel...? |
43235 | Commander...? |
43235 | Crag? |
43235 | Do you know a better way? |
43235 | Does it tell us how to get there, too? |
43235 | Feel better? |
43235 | For what? |
43235 | For what? |
43235 | How about climbing into your suits so we can get out of this can? |
43235 | How about him? |
43235 | How about the communicator? |
43235 | How did we lose oxygen, Gordon? |
43235 | How did you like the dancing girls in Gorik''s, over by the shore? |
43235 | How far was Prochaska ahead of you? |
43235 | How long do you figure it''ll take? |
43235 | How long will it take to make repairs? |
43235 | How we doing? |
43235 | How will loss of Able affect that? |
43235 | How will the U.N. know that? |
43235 | How you doing, Skipper? |
43235 | How you doing, skipper? |
43235 | How''d you ever locate me? |
43235 | How''s that for a stack of hogwash? |
43235 | How... how did it get here? |
43235 | How? |
43235 | I''ve got it? |
43235 | Identity? |
43235 | Is that good? |
43235 | Is there any possibility of telemetering her all the way in? |
43235 | It could n''t be their atom- powered job? |
43235 | Judging from what you''ve seen of Bandit, how long would it take to make it livable as crew quarters? |
43235 | Ken Pickering who--"What have you heard? |
43235 | Larkwell...? |
43235 | Larkwell? 43235 Larkwell?" |
43235 | Larkwell? |
43235 | Larkwell? |
43235 | Last night? |
43235 | Like a mineral description of the terrain? |
43235 | Logical to attempt to murder men? |
43235 | Meaning...? |
43235 | Meaning? |
43235 | Meteorite? |
43235 | Mind explaining? |
43235 | More visitors? |
43235 | No traitor? |
43235 | No? 43235 No?" |
43235 | No? |
43235 | No? |
43235 | Now what? |
43235 | Now? |
43235 | Now? |
43235 | Oh? |
43235 | On an Iron Curtain rocket? |
43235 | Or should I say the moon? |
43235 | Oxygen? |
43235 | Pressure suits? |
43235 | Ready on winch one? |
43235 | Ready on winch two? |
43235 | Ready, now? |
43235 | Richter...? |
43235 | Richter? |
43235 | Satelloid? |
43235 | See anything? |
43235 | See anything? |
43235 | Skipper, are you checking your oxygen? |
43235 | So...? |
43235 | Sort of startling, is n''t it? |
43235 | Suppose there are more breaks? |
43235 | Supposing it''s pinhole size? 43235 The drone?" |
43235 | The psychiatrists? |
43235 | Then? |
43235 | There''s one thing he forgot...."What? |
43235 | Think we might get inside? |
43235 | Think we ought to contact Alpine? |
43235 | Was anyone up during your watch? 43235 What about Temple?" |
43235 | What about winding up this job first? 43235 What are we claiming?" |
43235 | What do the computers say? |
43235 | What do you expect to gain? |
43235 | What do you think Pickering was up there for? |
43235 | What do you think? |
43235 | What do you think? |
43235 | What does Alpine say? |
43235 | What happened? |
43235 | What now? |
43235 | What now? |
43235 | What would the loss of Able mean? |
43235 | What''s on your mind? |
43235 | What''s the matter, Max, no pioneer spirit? |
43235 | What''s the maximum deadline? |
43235 | What''s up? |
43235 | What''s up? |
43235 | What''s wrong? 43235 What?" |
43235 | What? |
43235 | What? |
43235 | When do we take over? |
43235 | Where are we going to get the oxygen to keep this bird alive? |
43235 | Where are you? |
43235 | Where were you when this happened? |
43235 | Where were you, Gordon? |
43235 | Where''s Larkwell? |
43235 | Where? |
43235 | Why ca n''t we? |
43235 | Why did n''t he attempt to solicit your aid? |
43235 | Why did you come, Commander? |
43235 | Why did you come... to the moon, Gordon? |
43235 | Why does n''t he answer? |
43235 | Why not? |
43235 | Why? 43235 Why? |
43235 | Why? |
43235 | Why? |
43235 | Why? |
43235 | Would you expect me to? |
43235 | Yeah? |
43235 | You all right? |
43235 | You did that? |
43235 | You mean the man in the moon? |
43235 | You mean we''re going to lug that bastard back to the Aztec? |
43235 | You mean...? |
43235 | *****"Gordon Nagel, the young man on the moon flight? |
43235 | An agent who could n''t trust a soldier of his own country, even when the chips were down? |
43235 | And the silver job at Burning Sands?" |
43235 | And what was he doing about it? |
43235 | Any volunteers?" |
43235 | Are you receiving? |
43235 | Besides, what was his gripe? |
43235 | But supposing the man were a consummate actor, his fear a mask to conceal his purpose? |
43235 | But why the drone? |
43235 | CHAPTER 10"Gordon Nagel?" |
43235 | Colonel Gotch would be there, puffing on his pipe, his face expressionless, watching the work of many years come to... what? |
43235 | Could Nagel hold out? |
43235 | Could a man die of sheer exhaustion? |
43235 | Could they possibly adapt their bodies to such an environment? |
43235 | Damn, would n''t the man stop beating around the bush? |
43235 | Did anyone go to the commode?" |
43235 | Did it take more guts to do that than to double for a man slated to be murdered? |
43235 | Do you follow me?" |
43235 | Enemy? |
43235 | Good Lord, did every move have to be cloak and dagger? |
43235 | Got that?" |
43235 | Had Larkwell been hit by a meteorite? |
43235 | Had Larkwell-- or was it Malin?--survived the rock storm? |
43235 | Had any progress been made toward salvaging the cargo of Drone Baker? |
43235 | Had n''t we better record that and transmit it to Alpine?" |
43235 | Have you a better plan?" |
43235 | He asked Larkwell:"What do you think?" |
43235 | He spoke again:"So, you''re our saboteur?" |
43235 | He spoke casually, aware he might be stepping on Richter''s toes:"There''s one thing I do n''t understand....""What?" |
43235 | His plans? |
43235 | How does the meteorite problem look?" |
43235 | How far south? |
43235 | How much could they take? |
43235 | How was the airlock in the rill progressing? |
43235 | How''s everything going?" |
43235 | How? |
43235 | I just caught up to him....""What''s wrong with him?" |
43235 | I''m a grown boy, remember?" |
43235 | If he lived? |
43235 | If we survive this... what next? |
43235 | It might not be so great....""How?" |
43235 | It was designed to protect them from the dangers of meteorite dust, but would it withstand the rain of hell to come when the warhead struck? |
43235 | Larkwell spoke up,"How about you?" |
43235 | Larkwell-- where was Larkwell? |
43235 | Maybe you can guess the name we''ve selected for it?" |
43235 | Minutes or hours? |
43235 | No Bandit? |
43235 | Now that Drone Able had been lost--"Golly, what''ll we do with all the room?" |
43235 | Okay?" |
43235 | Or could they?_ He debated the question, then quickly briefed Prochaska and cut him in on the com circuit. |
43235 | Or would he? |
43235 | Part of, shall we say, a well planned tactic? |
43235 | Perhaps anti- sub patrol, eh?" |
43235 | Red Dog? |
43235 | Remember the Blue Door episode? |
43235 | Remember?" |
43235 | Richter said quietly:"Which way?" |
43235 | Richter? |
43235 | So why not Nagel? |
43235 | South of Alphons? |
43235 | Specifically, how much could_ he_ take? |
43235 | The bird colonel heckling you?" |
43235 | The saboteur? |
43235 | Then what? |
43235 | Too big for a weld? |
43235 | Too fast? |
43235 | Trust me? |
43235 | Wait, what else had he said? |
43235 | Waiting for what? |
43235 | Was he planning, biding his time, preparing to strike? |
43235 | Was there a safety officer down there with a finger on a button... prepared to destroy the Aztec if it wavered in flight? |
43235 | We need a silver lining once in a while, eh?" |
43235 | We''d have to haul one helluva lot of gear across that damned desert--""How long?" |
43235 | What fires burned behind his placid countenance? |
43235 | What gives?" |
43235 | What more could go wrong? |
43235 | What next? |
43235 | What of the cold of night? |
43235 | What was the extent of the radioactive field? |
43235 | What were his thoughts? |
43235 | What were the dimensions of Red Dog? |
43235 | What were you planning for tonight, your last night on earth?" |
43235 | What would Gotch do? |
43235 | When? |
43235 | Where to and what next? |
43235 | Where was the most sensitive spot? |
43235 | Where was the third man? |
43235 | Which one? |
43235 | Which one? |
43235 | Who dared come here? |
43235 | Who was the stalker and who was the stalked? |
43235 | Who was the traitor? |
43235 | Who? |
43235 | Who? |
43235 | Why not? |
43235 | Why not? |
43235 | Would he have had the courage to drive the satelloid into the warhead? |
43235 | Would he please describe the rocket launcher the enemy had used to destroy the Aztec? |
43235 | Would that be enough? |
43235 | Would the pursued man be waiting... covering the trail behind him? |
43235 | Would they be able to take it? |
43235 | Yet, what could either accomplish by striking now? |
43235 | You think not?" |
43235 | _ Could n''t control? |
43235 | _ Why had Gotch selected him?_ The Aztec, a silver needle plunging through space followed by her drones, all in his tender care. |
43235 | why?" |
7473 | A dead man? |
7473 | A ghost? |
7473 | Ah, is that so? |
7473 | Ah, then you know this old shack? |
7473 | Ai n''t yo''goin''t''hab some supper? |
7473 | All ready? |
7473 | Am I? 7473 Am dere two Marks? |
7473 | An inhabitant of the moon? |
7473 | An''did yo''all really discober dem sparklers? |
7473 | And Reonaris is diamonds, is n''t it? |
7473 | And could we go farther than to the moon if we wanted to? |
7473 | And does n''t it tell about them finding a field of Reonaris? |
7473 | And if it does work, when can we start? |
7473 | And when do you think we will arrive? |
7473 | And will the inspection have to be made now? |
7473 | And will these save our lives? |
7473 | And, speaking of eating, what''s the matter with having some lunch? 7473 Are n''t we going to look for those diamonds?" |
7473 | Are we all ready? |
7473 | Are we going to move any faster than this? |
7473 | Are we really going to be walking around the moon inside of thirty minutes? |
7473 | Are you all ready? |
7473 | Are you badly hurt? 7473 Are you engaged at anything in particular?" |
7473 | Are you expecting your girl to come along and bid you good- by, Mark? |
7473 | Are you going far? |
7473 | Are you going out, Wash? |
7473 | Are you going to imprison me over night? |
7473 | Are you going to try to go around it, and land on the side turned away from us? |
7473 | Are you hurt? |
7473 | Are you inside? |
7473 | Are you sure, Andy? |
7473 | But am I in time? |
7473 | But ca n''t we do something? |
7473 | But how are you going to get it? |
7473 | But how can I do it? |
7473 | But what could be their object? |
7473 | But what did we do? |
7473 | But what happened to you? 7473 But what have I done to you?" |
7473 | But what is your purpose? |
7473 | But what right have you to keep me here? |
7473 | But who could he have been? |
7473 | But who? 7473 But why do n''t you want me to go with them?" |
7473 | But why do you take such an interest in me? 7473 But why do you want to be revenged on us?" |
7473 | But why have you made me a prisoner? |
7473 | But why? |
7473 | But-- water? |
7473 | Ca n''t breathe on it? |
7473 | Ca n''t we start some other motor? |
7473 | Ca n''t you pull the lever over faster? |
7473 | Ca n''t you tell us more about what happened? |
7473 | Can it be done? |
7473 | Can it be the result of the damage which that lunatic did? |
7473 | Can we get back to the projectile without it? |
7473 | Can you see a place to land? |
7473 | Can you show us the place? |
7473 | Could anything cause us to swerve to one side? |
7473 | Could it have been him? |
7473 | Den how could I see one? |
7473 | Diamonds on the moon? |
7473 | Did I promise to wait for you at some barn? |
7473 | Did n''t I done tole yo''dat I got t''feed my rooster? 7473 Did you find him?" |
7473 | Did you lose some of your teeth, the reason your voice sounds so funny? |
7473 | Did you see that? |
7473 | Do n''t you remember how, in the trip to Mars, we nearly collided with the comet? 7473 Do n''t you think we will?" |
7473 | Do n''t you want supper? |
7473 | Do n''t you want to go out, and walk around the moon, and pick up diamonds? |
7473 | Do they see us? |
7473 | Do with you? 7473 Do you mean what did I say?" |
7473 | Do you mean where have I been while supper was getting ready? |
7473 | Do you mean you''re glad to see us, Wash? |
7473 | Do you mean, were we talking about diamonds? |
7473 | Do you think it will work? |
7473 | Do you think it would be dangerous to venture outside the projectile? |
7473 | Do you think they can hear that? |
7473 | Do you think we''ll find him there? |
7473 | Do-- do you really think we saw it-- saw the_ Annihilator_, Mark? |
7473 | Does n''t the moon turn around? |
7473 | Farther? 7473 Find anything wrong?" |
7473 | Find food here? |
7473 | Finish what? |
7473 | Give up? 7473 Give up?" |
7473 | Good to eat? |
7473 | Great; is n''t it? |
7473 | Hab-- hab we hit it yet? |
7473 | Had n''t you better notify the police? |
7473 | Has yo''got one ob dem torch- light processions t''spare? |
7473 | Have you any enemies that you know of, Mark? |
7473 | Have you met with an accident? 7473 Here, what''s the trouble?" |
7473 | How about you, Professor Henderson? 7473 How are you going to do it?" |
7473 | How can there be water here? |
7473 | How can we get it? |
7473 | How can we? |
7473 | How did it happen? |
7473 | How did the rooster get in here? |
7473 | How did you avoid it? |
7473 | How did you happen to go down there? |
7473 | How do you know it is to start to- morrow morning? |
7473 | How do you think it happened, Professor Henderson? |
7473 | How fast do you think it ought to send us along? |
7473 | How long will the supply of chemical last? |
7473 | How much are we making now, Mark? |
7473 | How soon before we will be ready to start? |
7473 | How would it be if I went on a little nearer to the Preakness house? |
7473 | How''s that? |
7473 | How? |
7473 | I mean could we go to Mars if we wanted to? |
7473 | I wonder if Washington could have meddled with it? |
7473 | I wonder if anything could have happened to him? 7473 I wonder if we can steer clear of it?" |
7473 | I wonder if we''ll ever see them again? |
7473 | I wonder if we''re going right? |
7473 | I wonder if you would do me a favor? |
7473 | I wonder what it can be? |
7473 | I wonder what we''ll do when we get to the moon? |
7473 | I wonder who he can be, anyhow? 7473 I''m not; but what''s the use of believing anything so wild and weird as that? |
7473 | In a circle? |
7473 | Is it possible? 7473 Is it really roast beef?" |
7473 | Is the machine all right now? |
7473 | Is this a joke, boys? |
7473 | Live around here? |
7473 | Look here; do you see that? |
7473 | Looking toward our house? |
7473 | Mark must be here, yet why does n''t he answer me? 7473 Matter? |
7473 | Matter? 7473 Maybe; but why do n''t you ask Andy Sudds or Washington White to give their opinion?" |
7473 | Me live here? |
7473 | Need any help, officer? |
7473 | No more live stock loose, is there, Jack? |
7473 | No name signed? |
7473 | No-- why should I? |
7473 | No; I mean where did the accident occur? |
7473 | No; do you? |
7473 | No; what''s the use? |
7473 | Oh, Mark, ca n''t you save me? |
7473 | Oh, is it broken? 7473 Oh, is that it?" |
7473 | Oh, only a theory; eh? |
7473 | Oh, well, den, why did n''t yo''say so fust, dat it was only a theory? 7473 Oh, why did I ever try to learn this man''s secret? |
7473 | On de moon? 7473 Rain? |
7473 | Saw it? 7473 Saw what-- who?" |
7473 | See anything? |
7473 | Shall I fire my rifle off and scare him? |
7473 | Shall we ask them? |
7473 | Shall we wait and start to- morrow? |
7473 | Slow down? |
7473 | Sure? 7473 The moon? |
7473 | Then how are we to get out and hunt for those diamonds, Professor? |
7473 | Then if we''re going to camp here for the night,proposed old Andy,"what''s the matter with me and the boys having a hunt for that man? |
7473 | Then may Mark, Andy and I see if we can find this man? |
7473 | Then the moon was once inhabited? |
7473 | Then we can start as soon as Mark is found? |
7473 | Then we''ll be about a week on the way? |
7473 | Then we''ve never seen the other side of the moon? |
7473 | Then where are the other people? |
7473 | Then who is he? |
7473 | Then why do n''t you say it? |
7473 | Then,cried Jack,"what''s to hinder us from going to the moon, and getting some of those diamonds? |
7473 | To- night? |
7473 | Torch- light processions? |
7473 | WILL IT HIT US? |
7473 | Wa''al, you know the old Preakness homestead, down by the bend of the creek, about four mile below here? |
7473 | Waiting for who? |
7473 | Was he anywhere near the big shed where we build the machines? |
7473 | Was the man alive, Washington? |
7473 | Water? 7473 We can stand a low temperature more easily than we can to be boiled; eh, Jack?" |
7473 | Well, are we all ready to start now? |
7473 | Well, are we all ready? |
7473 | Well, are we going to stand here all day? |
7473 | Well, boys, how does it feel to be in space once more? |
7473 | Well, did yo''all see him? |
7473 | Well, how do you feel? |
7473 | Well, what are we going to do when the life- torches give out, and we ca n''t breathe any more? |
7473 | Well, what''s to be done? |
7473 | Well, which way is straight ahead? |
7473 | Well,asked Jack cautiously,"can we go outside?" |
7473 | What about there being no air on the moon? |
7473 | What am I going to do? 7473 What are we going to do?" |
7473 | What are you going to do? |
7473 | What did I tell you? |
7473 | What do you intend to do with me? |
7473 | What do you mean by that? |
7473 | What do you mean? |
7473 | What do you think this is, an election, Wash? |
7473 | What do you want with me? |
7473 | What does that tramp want, Jack? 7473 What for?" |
7473 | What has happened? 7473 What has happened? |
7473 | What hospital was it? |
7473 | What is it you want, Dick? |
7473 | What is it? |
7473 | What is it? |
7473 | What is it? |
7473 | What is the matter? |
7473 | What is this? |
7473 | What is your opinion, Professor Roumann, of the temperature at the moon''s surface? |
7473 | What of it? 7473 What strengthens your belief?" |
7473 | What was the man doing when you saw him? |
7473 | What was yo''pleased t''saggasiate, in remarkin''concernin''de untranquility ob the densityness ob stones jumpin''ober a man what is six times high? |
7473 | What will we do, if we get thirsty? |
7473 | What''s dat? |
7473 | What''s that? |
7473 | What''s that? |
7473 | What''s that? |
7473 | What''s the matter, Washington? |
7473 | What''s the matter? |
7473 | What''s the matter? |
7473 | What''s the matter? |
7473 | What''s the matter? |
7473 | What''s the matter? |
7473 | What''s the matter? |
7473 | What''s the matter? |
7473 | What''s the matter? |
7473 | What''s the matter? |
7473 | What''s the use? |
7473 | What''s wrong? |
7473 | What, for instance? |
7473 | What-- another thing to delay us? |
7473 | What-- to- night? |
7473 | What? |
7473 | What? |
7473 | What? |
7473 | What? |
7473 | Whatever happened to you, Mark? 7473 Where am dose diamonds, Massa Jack?" |
7473 | Where are you going? |
7473 | Where are you going? |
7473 | Where did you meet him? |
7473 | Where did you meet the man? |
7473 | Where is Professor Henderson, Wash? 7473 Where was he?" |
7473 | Where''s Mark? 7473 Where?" |
7473 | Where? |
7473 | Who are you, and what have I done to you, that you should treat me this way? 7473 Who is he? |
7473 | Who would want to injure us, or damage the projectile? |
7473 | Who''s that? |
7473 | Who-- me? 7473 Why did n''t you come home?" |
7473 | Why did n''t you wait for me at the barn, when I went to send the telegram, as you promised you would? |
7473 | Why not? 7473 Why not?" |
7473 | Why, I suppose you''ll make a dive for a hatful of diamonds, wo n''t you? 7473 Why, Mark, what happened?" |
7473 | Why, what''s the matter? |
7473 | Why? 7473 Why?" |
7473 | Why? |
7473 | Why? |
7473 | Will it hit us? |
7473 | Will it take long? |
7473 | Will they pass us by? |
7473 | Will we ever get there? |
7473 | Will you not give up this plan? |
7473 | Will you promise to be quiet, and not kick up a fuss if I get you something to eat? |
7473 | Will you tell me your name? |
7473 | Would n''t that make you tired? |
7473 | Yes, but can you pull me up? |
7473 | Yes, but what good will it do us? 7473 Yes; do n''t you remember?" |
7473 | Yes; why not? |
7473 | You do n''t know where he lives, or whether he is staying in this vicinity, do you? |
7473 | You do n''t mean to say you think we''ll be all day finding the Annihilator, do you? |
7473 | You do n''t mean to say you want to go back there, and run the chance of being attacked by the savage Martians, do you? |
7473 | You do n''t mean to tell me that you believe that preposterous story, do you, Jack? |
7473 | You have n''t seen any suspicious characters around, have you, Wash? |
7473 | You mean you''ll join us? |
7473 | You wo n''t start for the moon until you find him, will you, Professor? |
7473 | You''ll go, too, wo n''t you, Mark? |
7473 | Am anybody hurted?" |
7473 | An''s''posin''some ob dem moon men takes a notion t''throw a stone at me? |
7473 | And how he knows me?" |
7473 | And what of the grains of wheat they find in the coffins of Egyptian mummies? |
7473 | Andy, where''s your gun?" |
7473 | Are you anywhere about?" |
7473 | Are you crazy? |
7473 | Are you hurt?" |
7473 | BACK TO EARTH-- CONCLUSION CHAPTER I A WONDERFUL STORY"Well, what do you think of it, Mark?" |
7473 | But are you sure you are well enough to go with us? |
7473 | But suppose you have made some error? |
7473 | But then what can be expected of lads who had gone to Mars and back again? |
7473 | But what do you mean?" |
7473 | But what made you think the writing looked like that of the crazy machinist who tried to wreck the projectile?" |
7473 | But what makes you think this man was an enemy, Professor?" |
7473 | But where am Massa Mark?" |
7473 | But where did you get a rope?" |
7473 | But would it act in time? |
7473 | CHAPTER II SOMETHING ABOUT OUR HEROES"Are you in earnest in proposing this trip?" |
7473 | CHAPTER III PREPARING FOR A VOYAGE"Seems like rather an odd thing; does n''t it?" |
7473 | CHAPTER XVI"WILL IT HIT US?" |
7473 | CHAPTER XXVII THE BLACK POOL"What are you going to do, Andy?" |
7473 | Ca n''t we go, Professor?" |
7473 | Can I be mistaken?" |
7473 | Can you hold on with one hand long enough to slip the loop of this rope over your shoulders?" |
7473 | Could n''t we start to- night?" |
7473 | Diamonds on de moon, eh? |
7473 | Diamonds on de moon, eh? |
7473 | Diamonds on de moon, eh?" |
7473 | Did either of you boys touch it?" |
7473 | Did you fall?" |
7473 | Did you learn who he was, Mark?" |
7473 | Do n''t you know that you are liable to arrest for this?" |
7473 | Do n''t you remember you and I had it when we were fixing the pipes outside the projectile, when we had the other breakdown? |
7473 | Do we have to do anything to the torches to make them operate, Professor Roumann?" |
7473 | Do you live here?" |
7473 | Do you need a doctor?" |
7473 | Does any one know?" |
7473 | Get me the negative plate remover, will you, Mark?" |
7473 | Guess that''ll convince you; wo n''t it?" |
7473 | Have you caught some disease?" |
7473 | Have you made any calculation as to speed?" |
7473 | Heah him crowin''now? |
7473 | How about it, Professor Henderson?" |
7473 | How can I do it?" |
7473 | How could a ghost be alive? |
7473 | How did you happen to be taken to a hospital?" |
7473 | How much longer would they last? |
7473 | I had a good look at him, an''----""Who was it?" |
7473 | I wonder if I ca n''t get loose?" |
7473 | I wonder if this can be the person we''re looking for?" |
7473 | I wonder what can be the matter?" |
7473 | I wonder what dey''ll be doin''next? |
7473 | I wonder what''s wrong?" |
7473 | I wonder where we can go next?" |
7473 | If we are in danger of hitting another one of those things, or even a meteor, we''ll steer out of the way, wo n''t we?" |
7473 | If you want t''see him, why do n''t you go there?" |
7473 | In a hospital? |
7473 | Is it anything bad?" |
7473 | Is n''t Mark home?" |
7473 | Is that the moon?" |
7473 | Is that water?" |
7473 | Is your stateroom all fixed up?" |
7473 | It is in good working order; is n''t it, Professor Roumann?" |
7473 | It is one of the new tools we got, and it has not been used for anything; has it?". |
7473 | It was real, then?" |
7473 | It''s jest in theory, am it, Massa Mark, dat a stone goes six times as far?" |
7473 | Mark says I''m wrong, but, Professor Henderson, is n''t Reonaris to the Martians what diamonds are to us?" |
7473 | Or would the meteor prove too powerful for it? |
7473 | Shall I seal the door?" |
7473 | That was n''t wrong, was it?" |
7473 | They looked up at his excitable entrance, and Mr. Henderson called out:"Why, Jack, what''s the matter?" |
7473 | Was it an answer, or merely the echo of his own voice? |
7473 | Was n''t he helping you catch the rooster?" |
7473 | Were you about to start?" |
7473 | Whar''ll I be, when a stone goes six times as far as it does on heah? |
7473 | What became of you? |
7473 | What can I do?" |
7473 | What caused it?" |
7473 | What did we bring it along for if we''re not going to eat? |
7473 | What do you mean?" |
7473 | What do you reckon did it, boys?" |
7473 | What dreadful mystery were they about to penetrate? |
7473 | What happened to the rock of meat, Andy?" |
7473 | What happened?" |
7473 | What has become of your life- torch?" |
7473 | What was that? |
7473 | What would happen in the desolate darkness? |
7473 | What''s up, anyhow?" |
7473 | When does the projectile start?" |
7473 | Where are you?" |
7473 | Where have you been? |
7473 | Where have you been? |
7473 | Where have you been?" |
7473 | Where is the mysterious man? |
7473 | Where were you hurt?" |
7473 | Where yo''all been?" |
7473 | Where?" |
7473 | Who could have done this? |
7473 | Who is he, anyhow? |
7473 | Who is the fellow who has been masquerading as you?" |
7473 | Who''s afraid?" |
7473 | Why did he do it?" |
7473 | Why did n''t I wait for Jack at the barn, as I promised? |
7473 | Why did n''t you capture my chum Jack, too, while you were about it?" |
7473 | Why did n''t you wait for me?" |
7473 | Why did you come alone? |
7473 | Why do n''t they go on without that confounded rooster? |
7473 | Why do n''t you leave for the moon to- night, professor?" |
7473 | Why not? |
7473 | Why was this man off here alone?" |
7473 | Will I be in time?" |
7473 | Will you come, Andy?" |
7473 | Will you help me remove the knocker? |
7473 | With the temperature at twenty- eight when the sun was shining, what might it not fall to in the darkness? |
7473 | Would he be in time? |
7473 | Would it send them along through space at enormous speed? |
7473 | Would it work as well as had the Etherium one? |
7473 | the negative plate remover not there?" |
16457 | A bolide? 16457 A vacuum?" |
16457 | Ah, who indeed? |
16457 | All right and proper,said Ardan;"why should n''t she have one of her own?" |
16457 | And do all astronomers admit its existence? |
16457 | And famous actors, and singers, and composers, and-- and photographers? |
16457 | And mine? |
16457 | And philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Bacon, Kant? |
16457 | And poets like Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakspeare, Göthe and Hugo? |
16457 | And scientists like Euclid, Archimedes, Copernicus, Newton, Pascal? |
16457 | And supposing the Earth to fall into the Sun? |
16457 | And when is it to befall us? |
16457 | And who can assert that the Moon did not exist long before the Earth was called into being at all? 16457 And you can handle the instrument right before my eyes?" |
16457 | And you can rely on your figures? |
16457 | Any sign of them yet, gentlemen? |
16457 | Ardan,asked Barbican,"do you think people could beat iron without a hammer, or turn up furrows without a plough?" |
16457 | Are we falling or are we not? |
16457 | At how many degrees is the temperature of the interplanetary space estimated? |
16457 | Barbican,asked M''Nicholl suddenly,"what peak is that which lies almost directly south of_ Pico_? |
16457 | Besides, even admitting that the Sun will not soon be extinguished, what is to prevent the Earth from shooting away from him? |
16457 | Besides? |
16457 | But is the air replaced by nothing? |
16457 | But the bullet? |
16457 | But you can form a few hypotheses? |
16457 | But you saw them once, did n''t you? |
16457 | By Jove,suddenly exclaimed Ardan,"why did n''t we start at the moment of Full Earth?--that is when our globe and the Sun were in opposition?" |
16457 | Ca n''t we modify the Projectile''s movement? |
16457 | Ca n''t you attach thirty of them to the Nautilus and sink us again? |
16457 | Can the divers readily reach such depths? |
16457 | Can we start to- morrow? |
16457 | Can you say as much? |
16457 | Cooled off? |
16457 | Correct it? |
16457 | Could you have done it yourself? |
16457 | Dear boys, will you allow me to give my little guess on the subject? |
16457 | Did you ever understand what is meant by a_ double ordinate_? |
16457 | Did you hear that report, friend Michael? |
16457 | Did you see nothing whatever during the night, Professor? |
16457 | Did you, friend Barbican? |
16457 | Do n''t I though? |
16457 | Do n''t I though? |
16457 | Do n''t you approve of my suggestion, Captain? |
16457 | Do n''t you see a fine ribbon of light? |
16457 | Do n''t you see the furrows? 16457 Do you consider these buoys powerful enough to lift the Projectile, Captain?" |
16457 | Do you forget the rockets? |
16457 | Does it make any real difference whether it is one or the other? |
16457 | Doing what? 16457 For surely you would not venture to assert that the Moon is uninhabitable by a race of beings having an organization different from ours?" |
16457 | Friend Michael, you say we''re moving? |
16457 | Have you ever seen the Moon? |
16457 | Have you never heard of the principle of compensation? 16457 Have you nothing to say either, Captain?" |
16457 | Hello? |
16457 | Here, friend Michael, get me a cord, wo n''t you? 16457 Hey?" |
16457 | How about being ahead of time? |
16457 | How do the general heights of the Himalayahs compare with those of the highest lunar mountains? |
16457 | How do you know that they have not made such an attempt? |
16457 | How have we forgotten them? |
16457 | How in the world can you tell? |
16457 | How is it that we can not see her? |
16457 | How is it that we see him only through the bottom light of our Projectile? |
16457 | How is that? |
16457 | How much did you say? |
16457 | How much is its diameter? |
16457 | How shall we start this experiment? |
16457 | How so, friend Michael? |
16457 | How so? |
16457 | How would you like to pay for your light by the loss of the atmosphere, which, according to some philosophers, is piled away on the dark side? |
16457 | How''s that, Barbican? |
16457 | How''s that? |
16457 | How?? |
16457 | How?? |
16457 | I do n''t deny it, dear friend,said Barbican quietly, notwithstanding the unceremonious interruption;"but why do you say so just now?" |
16457 | I hope it''s not the''cup- lead''you are using, Brownson? |
16457 | If it is not one, in fact, what can it be? |
16457 | If so, what should be their height? |
16457 | In consequence of the explosion? |
16457 | In the dark? |
16457 | Is it of the slightest possible importance which of the two curves controls the Projectile? |
16457 | Is that really the case, Captain? |
16457 | Is the Chair,asked Ardan,"to infer from the honorable gentleman''s observations that he considers the Moon to be a world much older than the Earth?" |
16457 | Is there not a telescope at Long''s Peak? 16457 Killed?" |
16457 | Landscape,Ardan said;"what do you mean by a landscape? |
16457 | Let us see, Barbican,asked M''Nicholl;"where has Petit''s calculation placed us?" |
16457 | Let''s see,asked Ardan,"who was Fourier, and who was Pouillet?" |
16457 | Mac, my boy,said Ardan seriously,"do n''t it strike you as a little out of order to ask how you are to return when you have not got there yet?" |
16457 | Made it? 16457 Moving? |
16457 | No more? |
16457 | No? 16457 Nor diminish its velocity?" |
16457 | Not bad,smiled Barbican approvingly;"only where is the hand that flung the stone or threw the ball?" |
16457 | Not even by lightening it, as a heavily laden ship is lightened, by throwing cargo overboard? |
16457 | Now then what is this Integral Calculus of yours? |
16457 | Now then, Ardan, what do_ you_ say to the first question? 16457 Now then?" |
16457 | Now those not quite up to Mont Blanc? |
16457 | Now what is the consequence of this law? 16457 Now, my boys,"Ardan went on,"all things thus turning out quite comfortable, I would just ask you why we should not succeed? |
16457 | One, for instance? |
16457 | Our external temperature may be reckoned at how much? |
16457 | Perhaps your philosophership has taken the trouble to calculate how many years it will take our unfortunate_ Terra Mater_ to cool off? |
16457 | Probably not,said Ardan,"but why not?" |
16457 | Ready? |
16457 | Rows of sugar cane? |
16457 | Shall my muscular strength diminish in the same proportion? |
16457 | Shall we commence at once? |
16457 | So much as a third? |
16457 | Softly again, dear boy,said Barbican;"how do you know that our Projectile must pull up somewhere?" |
16457 | Spillikins? |
16457 | Suppose we reach this dead point,asked Ardan;"what then is to become of us?" |
16457 | Switched off? 16457 That is the fate in store for our Earth?" |
16457 | That''s_ Mare Nectaris_, the gray spot over there on the southwest, is n''t it? |
16457 | The Japanese Current, Captain? |
16457 | The Sun? |
16457 | The hand is hardly necessary,replied Ardan, by no means disconcerted;"but as for the ball, what do you say to a comet?" |
16457 | The most elegant French I ever heard, backed by the purest Parisian accent,replied Barbican, highly amused;"Do n''t you think so, Captain?" |
16457 | The next in rank? |
16457 | Then I ask again,said the Frenchman;"why have n''t they made such an attempt?" |
16457 | These cocks and hens? |
16457 | Towards the Moon? |
16457 | Very true, my dear boy,observed Barbican;"but how could we breathe?" |
16457 | Very well then, why? |
16457 | Was Galileo tolerably successful in his calculations? |
16457 | Well, Lieutenant, how goes the sounding? |
16457 | Well, did you ever see any of them strike the Earth''s surface? |
16457 | Well, what are you thinking of? |
16457 | Well? |
16457 | Well? |
16457 | What Delphic oracle says so? |
16457 | What ails you? |
16457 | What are those peaks beyond him? |
16457 | What are you going to do with these chickens? |
16457 | What body, for instance? |
16457 | What can be the cause of this peculiarity? |
16457 | What can we do? |
16457 | What can we throw overboard? 16457 What do you conclude from this rigmarole of yours?" |
16457 | What do you know? |
16457 | What do you mean by such a question, Captain? |
16457 | What do you mean by your cultivated fields? |
16457 | What do you mean by''relatively motionless''? |
16457 | What do you mean? |
16457 | What do you mean? |
16457 | What do you mean? |
16457 | What for? |
16457 | What have you got? |
16457 | What have you to say to that, Barbican? |
16457 | What have you to say to that, Barbican? |
16457 | What is it then? |
16457 | What is your opinion on this point, Barbican? |
16457 | What noise was that? |
16457 | What of it? 16457 What on earth can such a consarn be, Barbican?" |
16457 | What other view? |
16457 | What peaked mountain is that which we have just passed on our right? |
16457 | What shall we do, Barbican? |
16457 | What''s that? |
16457 | What''s that? |
16457 | What''s the depth, Coleman? |
16457 | What''s the matter now? |
16457 | What''s the matter? |
16457 | What''s the matter? |
16457 | What''s the use of a man writing to you if he ca n''t send you what he writes? |
16457 | What''s the use of his sending it to you if he can have it read without that trouble? |
16457 | What''s up now? |
16457 | What? 16457 What?" |
16457 | What?? |
16457 | What?? |
16457 | When? 16457 When?" |
16457 | Where are those furrows? |
16457 | Where are we now? |
16457 | Where can they have gone to? |
16457 | Where for? |
16457 | Where is that infernal Pro-- pro-- jectile? |
16457 | Where is the Moon? |
16457 | Where''s the Moon? |
16457 | Which are the chief lunar mountains that exceed Mont Blanc in altitude? |
16457 | Which is as much as to say--? |
16457 | Which is the highest in the lot? |
16457 | Which must have been attended with a tremendous report? |
16457 | Who can tell? |
16457 | Who says there are no Selenites? |
16457 | Who says they have not done so? |
16457 | Who shall say what thou art? 16457 Why conceal them then?" |
16457 | Why did n''t we execute this grand manoeuvre the first time we reached the neutral point? |
16457 | Why did n''t we fasten a wire to the Projectile? |
16457 | Why did we not hear that report? |
16457 | Why may not there be something plausible in such a hypothesis? |
16457 | Why not calculate the exact fraction of a second it would take to cook a couple of eggs? |
16457 | Why not consider them,he asked,"to be the simple phenomena of vegetation?" |
16457 | Why not tell it at once then to a fellow that''s dying of impatience to know all about it? 16457 Why not?" |
16457 | Why not? |
16457 | Why not? |
16457 | Why not? |
16457 | Why so? |
16457 | Why so? |
16457 | Why so? |
16457 | Why so? |
16457 | Will either take us anywhere that you know of? |
16457 | Will either take us back to the Earth? |
16457 | With what object? |
16457 | You can show me how they got at the initial velocity of our Projectile? |
16457 | You can? |
16457 | You do n''t mean surely that we''re going to sit here, like bumps on a log, doing nothing until it will be too late to attempt anything? |
16457 | You do n''t mean to say, Barbican,observed M''Nicholl,"that Petit has seen this very one?" |
16457 | You mean it''s all the Moon''s fault, do n''t you, in setting herself like a screen between us and the Sun? |
16457 | You think so? |
16457 | You understand now, Ardan, do n''t you? |
16457 | You want a receipt, do n''t you, Captain? |
16457 | You''ll not give us an answer when we ask you a reasonable question? |
16457 | You''re in earnest? |
16457 | Your second reason? |
16457 | _ Mille tonerres!_cried Ardan, greatly excited;"what is that? |
16457 | _ Vive la Science!_ Henceforward, what miscreant will persist in saying that the Savants are good for nothing? 16457 A nice pair of scientists you are? 16457 A sea, according to the early astronomers? 16457 A thin, pale, silvery crescent? |
16457 | A wonderful head, the Boss''s, is n''t it M''Nicholl?" |
16457 | Ah, who can tell?} |
16457 | Am I ever to see my ideal of a true scientific man in the flesh? |
16457 | Am I right, Signor Barbicani, maestro illustrissimo?" |
16457 | Am_ I_ alive? |
16457 | And if air, why not water? |
16457 | And suppose some lunar Etna or Vesuvius was flashing out its fires, was it not even possible that their eye could catch a glimpse of the lurid gleam? |
16457 | And was all danger over? |
16457 | And what is the trouble?" |
16457 | And-- now I think on it-- why not fling ourselves out through the window? |
16457 | Another question of greater moment to us just now is: where are we? |
16457 | Anyway, what else could have happened? |
16457 | Are we so shiftless that we ca n''t do without them when we get to the Moon?" |
16457 | As they could neither reach the Moon nor return to the Earth, what_ was_ to befall them? |
16457 | At last, impatient of further restraint, he burst out:"Who the deuce cares for her secrets? |
16457 | At sea, where between waves or winds or paddles or screws or machinery, everything is tremor, quiver or jar? |
16457 | At what rate was the Projectile now moving? |
16457 | At what velocity was the Projectile now moving? |
16457 | Atmosphere is gas, great in volume, small in matter; where would there be room for it? |
16457 | Barbican?" |
16457 | Besides, what is easier? |
16457 | Burning_ in vacuo_? |
16457 | But did it also convince them of the existence of an atmosphere on her surface whose vivifying molecules would render_ life_ possible? |
16457 | But did our friends complain of the new perils now looming up before them? |
16457 | But during those two hours of immersion in the dark shadow, had this distance been increased or diminished? |
16457 | But had the impression made on the travellers''eyes been a mere vision or the result of a reality? |
16457 | But how about the Sun, Barbican? |
16457 | But how do you propose attaching them to the Projectile?" |
16457 | But how long was this good fortune of theirs going to last? |
16457 | But how to account for the_ grooves_? |
16457 | But if they have_ not_ been able to do so, why, they''re not a bit wiser than ourselves-- But what''s the matter with the Projectile? |
16457 | But in fifteen days later, where would the Projectile be? |
16457 | But that greenish tint-- to what was it due? |
16457 | But the velocity being undeniably very moderate, how explain such a decided resistance to Lunar attraction? |
16457 | But was nothing to be gained by the trip? |
16457 | But was such an operation possible? |
16457 | But was the death of the adventurers so very certain after all? |
16457 | But what has become of its motion? |
16457 | But what_ was_ the nearest port? |
16457 | But why are there cracks? |
16457 | But would not the heat of the long day be great enough to thaw it back again? |
16457 | But, Ardan, why do you insist on Lunarians? |
16457 | But-- by the way-- Barbican, are there any eclipses in the Moon?" |
16457 | But_ were_ they falling? |
16457 | By the bye-- talking of Marston-- if we never return to the Earth, what is to prevent him from following us to the Moon?" |
16457 | By what geological phenomena could this blazing coma have been possibly produced? |
16457 | By what?" |
16457 | Ca n''t a man write without being obliged to send his letters?" |
16457 | Can it be another projectile?" |
16457 | Can not gun- cotton be readily manufactured on any occasion? |
16457 | Can that be the Earth?" |
16457 | Can we point out some analogies to this on the Earth? |
16457 | Can you call a bottle of ink intensely black, spilled over a sheet of paper intensely white, a landscape?" |
16457 | Can you see anything?" |
16457 | Captain, have you any smoked glass?" |
16457 | Catch the idea now, eh?" |
16457 | Chess, draughts, cards, dominoes-- everything in fact, but a billiard table?" |
16457 | Clear?" |
16457 | Could Belfast have announced to the world such a startling piece of intelligence? |
16457 | Could an observation so rapid, so fleeting, so superficial, be really regarded as a genuine scientific affirmation? |
16457 | Could he have caught a glimpse of it at its reappearance? |
16457 | Could such a feeble glimmer of the invisible disc justify them in pronouncing a decided opinion on the inhabitability of the Moon? |
16457 | Could the wine have caused it? |
16457 | Could they be rivers of lava once vomited from that centre by resistless volcanic agency and afterwards crystallized into glassy rock? |
16457 | Could they do so, even if they had desired? |
16457 | DON''T I THOUGH? |
16457 | Dear friends, how is that for high?" |
16457 | Diana''s nimbus? |
16457 | Did he really see all this? |
16457 | Did n''t I rescue you from certain death with these two hands? |
16457 | Did n''t I tell you so?" |
16457 | Did n''t he by means of the Monster Telescope, see the Projectile, as large as life, whirling round and round the Moon? |
16457 | Did not Belfast know his business? |
16457 | Did not Mr. M''Connell see it also?" |
16457 | Did not the Captain know his business? |
16457 | Did not the truth of one incident render the other an absolute impossibility? |
16457 | Did not the_ party_ gain by it? |
16457 | Did not these strange successive names somewhat justify his flights of fancy? |
16457 | Did the neighborhood of some mysterious body retain it firmly imbedded in ether? |
16457 | Did they mean to say that he had seen nothing at all? |
16457 | Did they mean to say that the bowsprit of the_ Susquehanna_ had not been broken off? |
16457 | Did they really catch a glimpse of the mysterious invisible disc that the eye of man had never before lit upon? |
16457 | Do n''t you remember a conversation we had with you one day? |
16457 | Do n''t you see Barbican''s shoulder still bleeding by the violence of the shock?" |
16457 | Do n''t you see three broken pillars lying beside their pedestals? |
16457 | Do you forget, you herd of ignoramuses, that the Projectile weighs only ten tons?" |
16457 | Do you know, Barbican?" |
16457 | Do you think such a question ever occurred to them? |
16457 | Do you think that their inhabitants are as ignorant regarding their satellites as we are regarding ours?" |
16457 | Do you, or do you not, think that the Moon resembles the Earth in being the abode of animals and intelligent beings? |
16457 | Do your hear? |
16457 | Do_ real_ scientists lose their tempers for a trifle? |
16457 | Do_ you_ mean to say you understand the terrible jargon, Captain?" |
16457 | Does n''t it bring the Moon within a few miles of the Rocky Mountains, and enable us to see on her surface, objects as small as nine feet in diameter? |
16457 | Does not everything point out to one great cause of their origin? |
16457 | Does not its parallelism with the mountain chain suggest a causative relation? |
16457 | Does not this plain look like--?" |
16457 | Doing how?" |
16457 | Doing? |
16457 | Eh, Captain?" |
16457 | Eighteen years from now, will she not occupy exactly the same spot that she does to- day?" |
16457 | Even if desirous to act otherwise, what could they have done? |
16457 | First:_ Is the Moon inhabitable?_ Second:_ Has the Moon ever been inhabited?_""That''s the way to go about it,"said the Captain. |
16457 | First:_ Is the Moon inhabitable?_ Second:_ Has the Moon ever been inhabited?_""That''s the way to go about it,"said the Captain. |
16457 | HOW IS THAT FOR HIGH? |
16457 | Had Barbican''s ingenuity been attended with a fortunate result? |
16457 | Had he seen the Projectile before it vanished behind the Moon''s north pole? |
16457 | Had not Belfast seen the Projectile? |
16457 | Had not Bloomsbury seen the Projectile? |
16457 | Had not they always said how it was to end? |
16457 | Had one among them, our friend Marston, for instance, been favored with a glimpse at the interior of the projectile, what would he have seen? |
16457 | Had she ever been a beautiful world of life, and color, and magnificent variety? |
16457 | Had the Projectile come within the sphere of some strange unknown influence? |
16457 | Had the Projectile suddenly become a great metallic coffin bearing its ghastly contents through the air with the rapidity of a lightning flash? |
16457 | Had the shock been sufficiently deadened by the springs, the buffers, the water layers, and the partitions so readily ruptured? |
16457 | Had this path been disturbed by that dangerous meteor? |
16457 | Hang the Eye of Science-- will either curve take us to the Moon?" |
16457 | Has what we have seen confirmed any theory of yours or confounded any hypothesis? |
16457 | Have astronomers any valid reasons for supposing the atmosphere to have fled to the dark side of the Moon?" |
16457 | Have n''t we insured the Earth for 400 thousand years?'' |
16457 | Have they done anything? |
16457 | Have they seen anything? |
16457 | Have you any doubts whatever of the effectiveness of your brilliant and extremely original idea? |
16457 | Have you not enough to trouble you otherwise? |
16457 | Have you not often seen the November meteors, for instance, streaking the skies, thousands at a time?" |
16457 | Have you seen enough to induce you to adopt decided conclusions? |
16457 | Having come so near the Moon-- about 30 miles-- why had not the Projectile gone all the way? |
16457 | How about the other planets, Barbican? |
16457 | How are we going to amuse ourselves? |
16457 | How can our Baltimore Gun Club Projectile then escape the universal law? |
16457 | How could they imagine that the Observatory men had committed such a blunder? |
16457 | How do we detect the existence of life? |
16457 | How do you make that out?" |
16457 | How is that for high?" |
16457 | How is that for high?" |
16457 | How is the line now?" |
16457 | How soon?" |
16457 | How were they to know, they asked him, the precise instant at which the Projectile would reach the neutral point? |
16457 | I''m a plagiarist, am I?" |
16457 | If Bloomsbury was right, was not Belfast an ass? |
16457 | If they were moving the explosion must have taken place; but if the explosion had taken place, why had they not heard the report? |
16457 | If they write words of even a few hundred yards and sentences a mile or two long, what is to prevent us from reading them? |
16457 | In either alternative, what should be the lot of the daring adventurers? |
16457 | In fact, what could be more tantalizing? |
16457 | In fact, who can assert that the Earth itself is not a great piece broken off the Moon? |
16457 | In fact, who can even assert that the Moon has always been the Earth''s satellite?" |
16457 | In heaven''s name, what''s up?" |
16457 | In what direction would it have been drawn by the forces innumerable of attractions incalculable? |
16457 | Is it at rest? |
16457 | Is it not by_ movement_? |
16457 | Is n''t it, Barbican?" |
16457 | Is n''t that very like a bull, Mr. Philosopher Barbican?" |
16457 | Is not the Columbiad still at Stony Hill? |
16457 | Is not_ motion_ its result, no matter what may be its organization?" |
16457 | Is such a body in motion? |
16457 | It must therefore have been formed by several eruptions in succession, but in that case what had become of the ejected matter? |
16457 | Marston hobbled eagerly towards him and asked:"What have you done towards fishing them up, Captain?" |
16457 | Nearer to her or further off? |
16457 | Now that you have established the existence of your humanity in the Moon, the Chair would respectfully ask how it has all so completely disappeared?" |
16457 | Now the Projectile at this moment was nearing this point; if it reached it, what would be the consequence? |
16457 | Now what_ have_ we seen? |
16457 | Of course you have calculated the weight of a wire 240 thousand miles long?" |
16457 | Of course, you are both still desirous of reaching the Moon?" |
16457 | Oh what?? |
16457 | Oh what?? |
16457 | Oh, Michael, Michael, why did n''t you know the Captain earlier?" |
16457 | On land, where the dwellings, whether in populous city or lonely country, continually experience every shock that thrills the Earth''s crust? |
16457 | On what does the honorable gentleman base his_ most firm conviction_?" |
16457 | Or to that of the lava covering it here and there? |
16457 | Or to the color resulting from the mixture of other colors seen at a distance too great to allow of their being distinguished separately? |
16457 | Or was it rushing resistlessly into infinity on the wings of that pitchy night? |
16457 | Our tenement may become our coffin, eh? |
16457 | Prince Esterhazy''s Tokay? |
16457 | Shall we ever live to see direct communication established with the Moon? |
16457 | Should n''t we be as safe out there as that bolide? |
16457 | Showers, storms, fogs, rainbows-- is not the whole mortal life of man comprised in these four words? |
16457 | So we must remain shut up in our Projectile?" |
16457 | Solidified by the intense cold? |
16457 | Surely the cone of the Earth''s shadow must extend far enough to envelop her surface?" |
16457 | That it would never reach the Moon, was now beyond all doubt; but where was it going? |
16457 | The Moon could never be reached, but was it not possible that her surface could be carefully observed? |
16457 | The Projectile weighs about 20 thousand pounds, or 10 tons?" |
16457 | The blazing head of the great bolt that rivets the lunar hemispheres in union inseverable? |
16457 | The breakfast? |
16457 | The first question all asked was: Is it genuine or bogus? |
16457 | The golden clasp of her floating robes? |
16457 | The living or the dead? |
16457 | The probability is that we shall never--""Excuse me, Lieutenant,"interrupted the unrebuffed little Midshipman;"Ca n''t Barbican write?" |
16457 | Then again as to her atmosphere-- why should she have lost her atmosphere? |
16457 | Then, what was their Projectile to become? |
16457 | Therefore, in a map of the Moon, as the bottom means the north and the top the south, why does not the right mean the west and the left the east? |
16457 | These two movements have certainly equal periods now; why not always?" |
16457 | Those nights and days, for instance, 354 hours long?" |
16457 | To a dense tropical vegetation maintained by a low atmosphere, a mile or so in thickness? |
16457 | To the actual color of the surface itself? |
16457 | To what cause was this tint to be attributed? |
16457 | Try a little water?" |
16457 | Was it not a distinct contradiction of the whole story told by their opponents? |
16457 | Was it of a nature to justify immediate action or not? |
16457 | Was its present condition a foreshadowing of what our Earth is to become? |
16457 | Was n''t it what anybody''s common sense expected? |
16457 | Was not the Great Telescope then good for anything? |
16457 | Was that all the Earth was ever to know of their great enterprise? |
16457 | Was the Moon habitable? |
16457 | Was the Moon older or younger than the Earth in the order of Creation? |
16457 | Was the curve therefore_ not_ parabolic? |
16457 | Was there any ground for hope? |
16457 | Was there anything more absurd ever conceived? |
16457 | Were n''t we both half- killed by the shock? |
16457 | Were not his eyes good for anything? |
16457 | Were they at last, contrary to all expectations, about to reach the goal that they had been so ardently wishing for? |
16457 | Were they shooting through space like a meteor? |
16457 | Were they three corpses? |
16457 | Were we not struck by a comet''s tail in 1861?" |
16457 | What can this be?" |
16457 | What could all this mean? |
16457 | What could be the nature of this radiating aureola? |
16457 | What could have produced the deviation? |
16457 | What could such a charge do with a ball weighing 30 times as much or 15,000 pounds? |
16457 | What did it contain? |
16457 | What did they see, what could they see at a distance so uncertain that Barbican has never been able even to guess at it? |
16457 | What did this prove? |
16457 | What do I care for them? |
16457 | What do I say? |
16457 | What do we mean by heating water? |
16457 | What do you call it, Barbican?" |
16457 | What do you think of another comparison? |
16457 | What do you think of that lofty comparison, hey?" |
16457 | What do you want of this cord, Barbican?" |
16457 | What effect had been produced by the frightful concussion? |
16457 | What had become of the resolutions they had discussed so ably and passed so decidedly a few hours before? |
16457 | What had brought about this great revulsion in the spirits of our bold adventurers? |
16457 | What had taken place within the Projectile? |
16457 | What had taken place? |
16457 | What has done it? |
16457 | What if the atmosphere had really withdrawn to this dark face? |
16457 | What is it anyhow? |
16457 | What is it called? |
16457 | What is it that he do n''t know? |
16457 | What is the first"sea"you find in the hemisphere on the left? |
16457 | What is the use of pestering our brains about it? |
16457 | What is the_ Mare_ itself? |
16457 | What kind of an artillery man is he who ca n''t master his bullets? |
16457 | What makes it so hot? |
16457 | What matters the exact term so you comprehend me?" |
16457 | What of it?" |
16457 | What of that? |
16457 | What pen can describe it? |
16457 | What pencil can reproduce the magnificence of its coloring? |
16457 | What reply can you make to a man who has sounded the dark abysses of the_ Plato_ crater? |
16457 | What thundering thing is coming at us now?" |
16457 | What was he doing at the time? |
16457 | What was his bustling, honest, good- natured, impetuous heart at now? |
16457 | What was it? |
16457 | What was the cause? |
16457 | What were the speculations of the Scientific World upon the subject? |
16457 | What were they doing just now? |
16457 | What would be the consequence? |
16457 | What would the investigator gain by charging the quack with murder? |
16457 | What would the_ Belfasters_ say now? |
16457 | What''s to prevent Barbican and his friends from constructing a gigantic alphabet? |
16457 | What? |
16457 | What_ did_ they see? |
16457 | What_ had_ switched them off? |
16457 | What_ had_ switched them off? |
16457 | When Ardan learned that he was responsible for the whole trouble, do you think the information disconcerted him? |
16457 | When we get to the Moon, what shall we do there? |
16457 | When you land on a peak or on a steep mountain side, where are you? |
16457 | When?" |
16457 | Whence proceeded this strange intoxication whose consequences might have proved so disastrous? |
16457 | Where are we going to? |
16457 | Where did you get that word? |
16457 | Where in fact could they have found a spot more favorable for undisturbed repose? |
16457 | Where were they now, at eight o''clock in the morning of the day called in America the sixth of December? |
16457 | Which of the two curves had been the one most probably taken by the Projectile? |
16457 | Who can say that our romantic French friend was altogether wrong in thus explaining the astute fancies of the old astronomers? |
16457 | Who can say what is still in store for us? |
16457 | Who could tell, know, calculate-- who could even guess, amid the horror of this gloomy blackness? |
16457 | Who knows if our poor friends are still alive?" |
16457 | Who would have ever dreamed of even the possibility of such an encounter? |
16457 | Who?" |
16457 | Why am I then forced to stop? |
16457 | Why did it not fall? |
16457 | Why did n''t we hear the report?" |
16457 | Why did n''t we think of it before? |
16457 | Why did n''t you bring a scaphander and an air pump? |
16457 | Why did not they make you a professor of astronomy? |
16457 | Why do people grease the axles? |
16457 | Why do you think so?" |
16457 | Why have they not fired a projectile from the regions lunar to the regions terrestrial?" |
16457 | Why not?" |
16457 | Why should it sink into craters? |
16457 | Why should we not arrive there?" |
16457 | Why so? |
16457 | Will any Air Line of space navigation ever undertake to start a system of locomotion between the different members of the solar system? |
16457 | Will not the Moon again pass through the zenith of Florida? |
16457 | Worse than the sunken reefs of the Southern Seas or the snags of the Mississippi, how could the Projectile be expected to avoid them? |
16457 | Would n''t it be glorious to fish them up alive and well? |
16457 | Would not our first installation of discovery have been under circumstances decidedly extremely favorable? |
16457 | Would not they hold down their heads in confusion and disgrace? |
16457 | Would not this be enough to infuse life into the whole continent? |
16457 | Yes, or no?" |
16457 | Yes, or no?" |
16457 | You do n''t see them? |
16457 | You understand, do n''t you?" |
16457 | [ Illustration: HOW IS THAT FOR HIGH?] |
16457 | _ Could_ they ever get back? |
16457 | _ Vive_--"--"But what has all this to do with the question under discussion?" |
16457 | _ Was the Moon inhabited? |
16457 | _ d_, the distance from the centre of the Earth to the centre of the Moon is 56 terrestrial radii, which the Captain calculates to be...?" |
16457 | _ g_ gravity being at Florida about 32- 1/4 feet, of course_ g_ x_ r_ must be-- how much, Captain?" |
16457 | a plain of solid sand, according to later authority? |
16457 | an optical delusion or the shadow of a solid fact? |
16457 | and such heat would be capable of--?" |
16457 | and what, pray, is ether?" |
16457 | are we not fully prepared?" |
16457 | as Marston whispered to those around him; otherwise how could they have ever run up that flag? |
16457 | asked Ardan, triumphantly;"Where''s the bullet? |
16457 | asked Ardan,"you think they have artists like Phidias, Michael Angelo and Raphael?" |
16457 | asked Ardan;"a perfect vacuum?" |
16457 | asked Barbican,"right beneath us? |
16457 | asked Barbican:"even if there_ is_ any life--?" |
16457 | asked M''Nicholl,"no total eclipses in the Moon? |
16457 | asked M''Nicholl;"is there any likelihood of our getting a better view of it?" |
16457 | cried Ardan, in a mocking tone,"is there really anything that Mathematics ca n''t do?" |
16457 | cried Ardan,"another satellite besides the Moon? |
16457 | cried the Captain;"this going to the Moon is all very well, but how shall we get back?" |
16457 | cried the versatile Ardan,"Why do you think, Barbican, that we are at present beyond the limits of the terrestrial atmosphere?" |
16457 | exclaimed Barbican;"What is the meaning of it, Sir?" |
16457 | exclaimed Barbican;"cumbered yourself with such gimcracks?" |
16457 | he cried in despair;"Barbican, must we really give you up though separated from us by the short distance of only a few miles?" |
16457 | observed Ardan, apparently much surprised;"who''d have thought it? |
16457 | or an immense forest, according to De la Rue of London, so far the Moon''s most successful photographer? |
16457 | or as Mount Washington? |
16457 | or as Ætna? |
16457 | or ever even be heard from? |
16457 | protested Ardan;"What next?" |
16457 | real or got up by the stockbrokers? |
16457 | should I have offered to take you there without a good object in view?" |
16457 | the few seconds we should require for flinging out poor Satellite?" |
16457 | the truth of the Bloomsbury dispatch? |
16457 | what do you mean? |
16457 | what else?" |
16457 | what shall we do?" |
16457 | { Return? |
12901 | A bolis, on fire, in the void? |
12901 | A sportsman? 12901 Agreed,"answered Nicholl;"but is not the moon habitable for beings differently organised to us?" |
12901 | Agreed,answered Nicholl;"but why should not these movements have been equal, since they are so actually?" |
12901 | Agreed,said Barbicane,"but how are we to breathe?" |
12901 | Ah, my friends,exclaimed Michel Ardan,"can you imagine what this peaceful orb of night was once like? |
12901 | Ah, why not? |
12901 | And I,replied Barbicane,"I repeat-- who says they have not done it?" |
12901 | And could you have made the calculation yourself? |
12901 | And could you show me how they calculated the initial speed of our vehicle? |
12901 | And how much will that cost at two cents a pound? |
12901 | And how, pray? |
12901 | And how, pray? |
12901 | And if there are no Selenites? |
12901 | And in the sun? |
12901 | And shall we perceive it? |
12901 | And suppose the earth were to fall upon the sun? |
12901 | And the bullet? 12901 And the weight of a wire 86,000 leagues long,"answered Nicholl,"does that go for nothing?" |
12901 | And we are not roasted by it? |
12901 | And what about your Apaches and your Comanches-- are they civilised? |
12901 | And what are those means? |
12901 | And what do you conclude from that, talker eternal? |
12901 | And what is the heat of the sun? |
12901 | And what is the second reason? |
12901 | And what truth is there in that hypothesis? |
12901 | And where has the infernal bullet fallen? |
12901 | And who can say,exclaimed Michel Ardan,"that the moon did not exist before the earth?" |
12901 | And why should it not be so? |
12901 | And you know the reason? |
12901 | And you say that the like fate is reserved for the earth? |
12901 | And you will not forget your rifle? |
12901 | And you, Barbicane? |
12901 | Are we falling? |
12901 | Are we not ready? |
12901 | As much as that? |
12901 | At what number of degrees do they estimate the temperature of the planetary space? |
12901 | Brass? |
12901 | But I say,he continued,"what time is it?" |
12901 | But air to breathe on the road? |
12901 | But at least,he said,"you have some plan, some means of execution?" |
12901 | But do you recognise him? |
12901 | But how is that? |
12901 | But how? 12901 But if the Selenites are six times smaller?" |
12901 | But is this fact authenticated? |
12901 | But provisions? 12901 But the heat developed by the speed of the projectile whilst crossing the beds of air?" |
12901 | But we can make suppositions, I suppose? |
12901 | But what are you going to do with those fowls? |
12901 | But what do you want to do? |
12901 | But what explanation of these trails of light have been imagined? |
12901 | But what if we came too late? |
12901 | But what is it, pray? |
12901 | But what is the use of the good results of such studies and so many difficulties conquered? 12901 But when?" |
12901 | But your fall upon the moon, supposing you ever get there? |
12901 | But, my dear president,said the major,"is not aluminium quoted exceedingly high?" |
12901 | But,asked Nicholl,"what is the exterior temperature?" |
12901 | By cooling? |
12901 | By what means? |
12901 | Can nothing be done? |
12901 | Can we not modify the motion of the projectile? |
12901 | Clowns like Arnal, and photographers like-- Nadar? |
12901 | Command it? |
12901 | Could you use that tool before me? |
12901 | Did not Herschel, in 1787, observe a great number of luminous points on the surface of the moon? |
12901 | Did you hear the detonation, which must certainly have been formidable? |
12901 | Do all astronomers admit the existence of this satellite? |
12901 | Do you approve of my idea, Nicholl? |
12901 | Do you intend giving a diameter of sixty feet to your projectile? |
12901 | Do you know any who belong to the latter category? |
12901 | Do you mean to say you understand that, captain? |
12901 | Do you pretend to struggle with the impossible? |
12901 | Do you understand now? |
12901 | Do you want to find some vegetation? |
12901 | Eh? |
12901 | Excuse me, sir,said the midshipman,"but can not President Barbicane write?" |
12901 | For example, when I have been running some time, and am covered with sweat, why am I forced to stop? 12901 Good,"replied Barbicane, smiling;"and what hand would be powerful enough to hurl the stone that would produce such a shock?" |
12901 | Good; and does Nicholl understand what that means? |
12901 | Has the moon been inhabited? |
12901 | Has the time it will take our unfortunate globe to melt been calculated? |
12901 | Has this place any name? |
12901 | Have we not water- cushions placed between movable partitions elastic enough to protect us sufficiently? |
12901 | Have you altered your plans for the projectile as the telegram demanded? |
12901 | Have you ever seen the moon? |
12901 | Have you heard any firing? |
12901 | Have you not seen shooting stars by thousands in the sky at certain epochs? |
12901 | Hollow!--then it will be an obus? |
12901 | How are we to do that, pray? |
12901 | How nowhere? |
12901 | How shall we manage it? |
12901 | How so? |
12901 | How so? |
12901 | How? |
12901 | I ask you now,said he as he concluded,"if two good beings like you were made to break each other''s heads with gunshots?" |
12901 | I do n''t ask that question because I want to draw back, but I repeat my question, and ask,''How shall we get back?'' |
12901 | I do n''t say we are not,answered Barbicane;"but why?" |
12901 | I say,said he,"it is all very well to go to the moon, but how shall we get back again?" |
12901 | I see Eve, but where is Adam? |
12901 | I will try to do it, however, but I ask Nicholl if movement seems to him the necessary result of existence, under no matter what organisation? |
12901 | If I succeed in lessening the density of the atmosphere which the moon''s light traverses, shall I not render that light more intense? |
12901 | In order to be nearer the moon? |
12901 | In what way do you mean? |
12901 | Indeed? |
12901 | Is it because the cone of shade thrown by the earth does not extend beyond the moon? |
12901 | Is it believable? 12901 Is it clear?" |
12901 | Is it long since? |
12901 | Is it one of the corpuscles of space which our projectile holds in its radius of attraction, and which will accompany it as far as the moon? |
12901 | Is it possible? |
12901 | Is not infinitude large enough to allow a poor little bullet to go about without fear? 12901 Is there not an American name to put at the bottom of this discovery?" |
12901 | Is there nothing in its place? |
12901 | Just so,answered Nicholl;"but in what proportion do you reckon the diminution of speed by friction?" |
12901 | Michel,replied Barbicane,"do you think it possible to forge without a hammer, or to plough without a ploughshare?" |
12901 | Much noise? |
12901 | Need we blush for that? 12901 Never mind; what is his opinion?" |
12901 | Nor diminish its speed? |
12901 | Not even by lightening it like they lighten an overloaded ship? |
12901 | Not one shot? |
12901 | Nothing will stop you? |
12901 | Now do not be angry, worthy president,answered Michel,"but may not these black lines be regular rows of trees?" |
12901 | Now,said Elphinstone,"what thickness must we give its sides?" |
12901 | One question,said Elphinstone,"and will this_ canobusomortar_ be rifled?" |
12901 | Only thirteen minutes? |
12901 | Only what do you mean by crevices in the world of science? |
12901 | Or are we tranquilly resting on the soil of Florida? |
12901 | Or at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico? |
12901 | Perhaps you mean the telegraph- office? |
12901 | Philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant? |
12901 | Poets like Homer, Virgil, Milton, Lamartine, and Hugo? |
12901 | Really? |
12901 | Really? |
12901 | Seriously? |
12901 | Shall we begin? |
12901 | Shall we get there? |
12901 | Since, what have we seen, after all? 12901 Snow?" |
12901 | Some one? |
12901 | Speak, ca n''t you? |
12901 | Suppose I go too? |
12901 | Suppose I had broken the mirror? |
12901 | That is evident,answered one of the officers,"but what has become of the travellers? |
12901 | That is evident,answered the major;"but what metal do you intend to employ for your own projectile?" |
12901 | That mountain is--? |
12901 | The moon? |
12901 | The question, therefore, comes to this:''Are the planets inhabitable?'' 12901 The telegraph- office?" |
12901 | The way to do what? |
12901 | Then how is it to be done? |
12901 | Then the cannon was pointed badly? |
12901 | Then the earth has two moons like Neptune? |
12901 | Then the vehicle pleases you? |
12901 | Then what must be done? |
12901 | Then why do you meddle with scientific questions which you have never studied? |
12901 | Then,asked Michel Ardan,"humanity has quite disappeared from the moon?" |
12901 | Then,asked Michel,"the moon is an older world than the earth?" |
12901 | Then,asked Nicholl,"what would happen if the earth were to be suddenly stopped in her movement of translation?" |
12901 | Then,resumed Michel Ardan,"would not this be an opportunity for making that experiment we could not attempt when we were bathed in the solar rays?" |
12901 | Then,resumed Michel,"I repeat-- why have they not done it?" |
12901 | Then,said Barbicane, without further preliminary,"you have decided to go?" |
12901 | Then,said Michel in a grumbling tone,"why is there any eclipse when there ought to be none?" |
12901 | Those fowls? |
12901 | Through whom? 12901 Too late?" |
12901 | True,replied Nicholl;"and who can say that the moon has always been the earth''s satellite?" |
12901 | Upon your word of honour? |
12901 | Very well, then, what do you mean to do? |
12901 | Very well,answered Michel;"but once more; how did they calculate the initial velocity?" |
12901 | Was that a cock? |
12901 | Well, Barbicane,then said Michel,"should you like to know what I think about why we have deviated?" |
12901 | Well, really, are we going on? |
12901 | Well, what do you make it? |
12901 | Well, what do you say to aluminium? |
12901 | Well,cried he,"but where''s the earth?" |
12901 | Well? |
12901 | Well? |
12901 | Well? |
12901 | Well? |
12901 | What Seminoles? |
12901 | What are the usual rules in such a case? 12901 What are they?" |
12901 | What are we looking at now? |
12901 | What are you driving at? |
12901 | What body? |
12901 | What can a few yards more or less matter? 12901 What can have become of them?" |
12901 | What can we throw out? |
12901 | What depth are we in? |
12901 | What do you make of that? |
12901 | What do you mean by that, Nicholl? |
12901 | What do you mean by that? |
12901 | What do you mean by the void? |
12901 | What do you mean, Barbicane? |
12901 | What do you mean? |
12901 | What do you mean? |
12901 | What do you say? |
12901 | What do you think about it, Barbicane? |
12901 | What do you think that plain is like, seen from the height we are at? |
12901 | What do you want? |
12901 | What does it matter? |
12901 | What does that matter? 12901 What does that matter?" |
12901 | What does that matter? |
12901 | What for? |
12901 | What have you found? |
12901 | What is it, then? |
12901 | What is it? |
12901 | What is its width? |
12901 | What is that? |
12901 | What is that? |
12901 | What is that? |
12901 | What is that? |
12901 | What is the matter now? |
12901 | What is the matter with you? |
12901 | What is the matter? |
12901 | What is the reason of this special arrangement? |
12901 | What is to be done? |
12901 | What next? |
12901 | What of that? |
12901 | What of that? |
12901 | What shall we do? |
12901 | What should it be if not a volcano? |
12901 | What should you say, then,answered Barbicane,"if the chances of our journey should take us towards the southern hemisphere?" |
12901 | What the matter is? |
12901 | What will be the thickness of the metal? |
12901 | What will become of us after we have reached the neutral point? |
12901 | What will prevent me delaying my fall by means of rockets conveniently placed and lighted at the proper time? |
12901 | What will the projectile weigh, then? |
12901 | What would be the use? |
12901 | What''s the matter with you? |
12901 | What? |
12901 | What? |
12901 | What? |
12901 | What? |
12901 | What? |
12901 | Whatever can that machine be? |
12901 | Whatever is that? 12901 When a projectile is hurled into space,"resumed Barbicane,"what happens? |
12901 | When? |
12901 | When? |
12901 | Where are they? 12901 Where are they?" |
12901 | Which means? |
12901 | Who are you? |
12901 | Who is it? |
12901 | Who is that, pray? |
12901 | Who knows? |
12901 | Who says there are no Selenites? |
12901 | Who says they have not done it? |
12901 | Who''ll buy real mint- julep in the latest style? |
12901 | Why do you not answer? |
12901 | Why is there no total eclipse? |
12901 | Why not? 12901 Why not?" |
12901 | Why not? |
12901 | Why not? |
12901 | Why should they not be the cracks caused by the shock of a bullet or a stone upon a pane of glass? |
12901 | Why should they? |
12901 | Why should we not arrive? 12901 Why should we not succeed?" |
12901 | Why so, if the weight on the surface of the moon is six times less than upon the surface of the earth? |
12901 | Why so? |
12901 | Why so? |
12901 | Why this qualification? |
12901 | Why, do n''t they use his skin to make drums of? |
12901 | Why, pray? |
12901 | Why, there might be something to do over there, and if they accepted our services--"What are you thinking of? |
12901 | Why,said Nicholl,"may not these rays be simply the spurs of the mountains reflecting the light of the sun more vividly?" |
12901 | Why,said he,"may not these inexplicable appearances be simply phenomena of vegetation?" |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Why? |
12901 | Will not our Columbiad be still there? 12901 Will not our muscular strength be diminished?" |
12901 | Will that be necessary? |
12901 | Will that be sufficient? |
12901 | Will you enter it to- morrow morning at five o''clock by one side? |
12901 | Will you have a receipt? |
12901 | With your hand? |
12901 | Would you like figures? |
12901 | Yes; and the Rodman Columbiad? |
12901 | You are Barbicane? |
12901 | You are certain of your figures? |
12901 | You are not going to take upon yourself the task of making the moon more luminous? |
12901 | You do not think of raising such a mass upon a gun- carriage? |
12901 | You wish to add a few words? |
12901 | _ Savants_ like Archimedes, Euclid, Pascal, and Newton? |
12901 | 1,''Is it possible to send a projectile to the moon?'' |
12901 | 2,''What is the exact distance that separates the earth from her satellite?'' |
12901 | 4,''At what moment would the moon present the most favourable position for being reached by the projectile?'' |
12901 | 5,''At what point in the heavens ought the cannon destined to hurl the projectile be aimed?'' |
12901 | 6,''What place will the moon occupy In the heavens at the moment of the projectile''s departure?'' |
12901 | A journey of 86,410 leagues, but what is that? |
12901 | After what they had seen, could the travellers solve it? |
12901 | And an hyperbola?" |
12901 | And if the man did exist was he not a madman who would have to be inclosed in a strait- waistcoat instead of in a cannon- ball? |
12901 | And is that the future that awaits us?" |
12901 | And now would this attempt, without precedent in the annals of travels, have any practical result? |
12901 | And was not the imaginative Michel right in thus interpreting the fancies of the old astronomers? |
12901 | And what is your parabola, if you please?" |
12901 | And what were his first words? |
12901 | And who says so, pray?" |
12901 | And yet who would affirm, who would dare to say, that the amiable fellow had not really seen what his two companions would not see? |
12901 | And yet, supposing the atmosphere to have taken refuge upon that face? |
12901 | And, may it please you, lieutenant, where are we now?" |
12901 | Another projectile?" |
12901 | Are those plains composed of dry sand, as the first astronomers believed? |
12901 | At 100 yards? |
12901 | At what moment would the moon present the most favourable position for being reached by the projectile? |
12901 | Barbicane, the president-- my best friend?" |
12901 | Besides, I shall astonish you--""Astonish us?" |
12901 | Besides, what could be easier? |
12901 | But did these adventurers of space complain? |
12901 | But even supposing that their bold enterprise were crowned with success, how would they return? |
12901 | But had that distance increased or diminished since they had been in the cone of shadow? |
12901 | But now I think--""What do you think?" |
12901 | But what becomes of the movement which animated it? |
12901 | But what was that speed compared to the one with which the three heroes had left the Columbiad? |
12901 | But what was the use of vain theories that could not be put in practice? |
12901 | But what would you say if I were going to Neptune, which gravitates at 1,147,000,000 leagues from the sun? |
12901 | But whence came the animation that grew visibly greater in the inhabitants of the projectile? |
12901 | But where will they take us to?" |
12901 | But who would have expected to find such a depth so near land, at 100 leagues only from the American coast?" |
12901 | But, first of all, did this personage really exist? |
12901 | But, now I think of it, why ca n''t we take a walk outside this? |
12901 | But,"asked Barbicane, insisting once more,"you have quite reflected?" |
12901 | By the force of impulsion?" |
12901 | By what means?" |
12901 | By- the- bye, Barbicane, have the Selenites any eclipses?" |
12901 | By- the- bye, what is the integral calculus?" |
12901 | Clouds, rain, tempests, humours, does the life of man contain aught but these? |
12901 | Could they conclude for or against? |
12901 | Could they ever return? |
12901 | Could they give a scientific affirmation to that observation so superficially obtained? |
12901 | Could they have closed their eyes so near to a new world? |
12901 | Dared they pronounce upon the question of its habitability after so slight a glimpse of the invisible disc? |
12901 | Did Barbicane, Nicholl, and Michel Ardan still breathe? |
12901 | Did I not bring you back to life? |
12901 | Did he not get talked of ceaselessly by the hundred voices of Fame, hoarse in his service? |
12901 | Did he not live in a glass house, taking the entire universe as confidant of his most intimate secrets? |
12901 | Did she resemble the earth in the time when the atmosphere did not yet exist? |
12901 | Did some body maintain it in the ether? |
12901 | Did the adversary of Michel Ardan''s theories hazard any further arguments? |
12901 | Do you believe in the influence of the moon upon maladies?" |
12901 | Do you know an Indian play called_ The Child''s Chariot_?" |
12901 | Do you know how long it would take an express train to reach the moon? |
12901 | Do you know it?" |
12901 | Do you know what I think of this universe that begins with the sun and ends at Neptune? |
12901 | Do you like that comparison better?" |
12901 | Do you say to yourself that this prison may be our coffin? |
12901 | Do you understand?" |
12901 | Does not the president''s shoulder still bleed from the blow?" |
12901 | Had its route again been modified by the meteor? |
12901 | Had she a Frenchman named Michel Ardan on board?" |
12901 | Had the ingenuity of the constructors of the projectile been attended by a happy result? |
12901 | Had the operation of casting succeeded? |
12901 | Had they been able to attempt some audacious manoeuvre to recover their liberty? |
12901 | Had they triumphed over the frightful impulsion of the initial velocity of 11,000 metres a second? |
12901 | Has it been inhabited?" |
12901 | Have we not been half stunned by the shock? |
12901 | Have you altered your projectile as I told you in my message?" |
12901 | He contented himself with saying simply--"Now, my friends, what quantity of powder do you propose?" |
12901 | He opened his eyes, sat up, took the hands of his two friends, and his first words were--"Nicholl, are we going on?" |
12901 | Her absence made Ardan say--"And the moon? |
12901 | How are you? |
12901 | How could he invent anything better than a Columbiad 900 feet long? |
12901 | How shall we do it? |
12901 | How was it that though the projectile had been so near the moon, within a distance of twenty- five miles, it had not fallen upon her? |
12901 | How were they to know, how calculate in the dark? |
12901 | How? |
12901 | I make appeal to this assembly and put it to the vote to know if life such as it exists upon earth is possible on the surface of the moon?" |
12901 | I therefore ask the honourable Commission if the moon is not habitable, has it been inhabited?" |
12901 | If an aëronaut were taken up that distance from the earth, what would he distinguish upon its surface? |
12901 | If he should perceive the projectile upon the mirror of his gigantic telescope what would he think? |
12901 | In another eighteen years will she not occupy exactly the same place that she occupies to- day?" |
12901 | In either of these alternatives what would be the travellers''fate? |
12901 | Is cotton and nitric acid wanting wherewith to manufacture the projectile? |
12901 | Is it likely? |
12901 | Is it possible to send a projectile to the moon? |
12901 | Is it possible?" |
12901 | Is not that your opinion, major?" |
12901 | Is not the Columbiad still lying in Floridian soil? |
12901 | Is she going to fail us?" |
12901 | Is that clear?" |
12901 | Is the moon habitable? |
12901 | Look here, without looking any farther for a motive for war, did not North America formerly belong to the English?" |
12901 | Maston ran to him crying--"Have you seen a man enter the wood armed with a rifle? |
12901 | Maston sent that unexpected announcement into the world? |
12901 | Maston, for instance-- had been able to get a glimpse of the interior of the projectile, what would he have seen? |
12901 | Maston,"shall we not employ these last years of our existence in perfecting firearms? |
12901 | Maston,"why should not England in its turn belong to the Americans?" |
12901 | Maston;"then our projectile will have a diameter of nine feet?" |
12901 | Now I suppose it is the moon you want to reach?" |
12901 | Now how can the emotion be described which took possession of the whole of America? |
12901 | Now if a ship can go where it pleases, or a balloon ascend where it pleases, why should not our projectile reach the goal it was aimed at?" |
12901 | Now were the green shades owing to tropical vegetation, kept up by a low and dense atmosphere? |
12901 | Now what happens in the act of respiration? |
12901 | Now, Barbicane, do you believe that the moon is an ancient comet?" |
12901 | Now, how do we know that this attraction was powerful enough to influence the movements of the moon at the epoch the earth was still fluid?" |
12901 | Or are they only immense forests, according to the opinion of Mr. Waren de la Rue, who grants a very low but very dense atmosphere to the moon? |
12901 | Ought a Frenchman and two Americans to recoil at such a word?" |
12901 | Populations, flocks of lunar animals, towns, lakes, and oceans? |
12901 | Shall it be a cannon, howitzer, or a mortar?" |
12901 | Should they not see the intense fulgurations of a burning mountain? |
12901 | Should you like to know my theory? |
12901 | Suppose that animals people these continents and seas? |
12901 | Suppose that man still lives under those conditions of habitability? |
12901 | Suppose that vegetation still persists there? |
12901 | Suppose that with the air water had given life to these regenerated continents? |
12901 | Suppose we had reached our goal, would it not have been better to find the continents in full daylight instead of dark night? |
12901 | The size of the projectile and length of the cannon being given, what would be the quantity of powder necessary to produce the impulsion? |
12901 | Then he had nothing more to fear from his adversary?" |
12901 | Then the atmosphere did give there its life- giving particles? |
12901 | Then turning the conversation--"Barbicane, do you know what I have been thinking about all night?" |
12901 | Then, exhausted by deceptions, treasons, infidelities, and all the procession of terrestrial miseries, what does he find at the end of his career? |
12901 | They could procure themselves air for two months; they had provisions for one year; but after? |
12901 | This, therefore, is the problem:--What thickness ought an iron obus to have in order to weigh only 20,000 lbs.? |
12901 | Very well? |
12901 | Was it an illusion, an error of the eyes, an optical deception? |
12901 | Was it carried along in the gloom across infinitude? |
12901 | Was it falling then? |
12901 | Was it fatigue of body and mind? |
12901 | Was it going farther away from or nearer to the disc? |
12901 | Was it possible to go to the aid of these bold inhabitants of the earth? |
12901 | Was its direction altered either under the influence of lunar attraction or under the action of some unknown orb? |
12901 | Was not Louisiana bought in 1803 from Napoleon for 16,000,000 of dollars?" |
12901 | Was the effect of the shock deadened, thanks to the springs, the four buffers, the water- cushions, and the movable partitions? |
12901 | Was the projectile nothing but a metal coffin carrying three corpses into space? |
12901 | Was the projectile under the influence of some strange force? |
12901 | Was this to be the_ dénouement_ of the great enterprise? |
12901 | Well, lieutenant, and what about those soundings?" |
12901 | Well, tell me, friend Barbicane, if at that epoch you had been his judge would you have condemned that robber?" |
12901 | Were not Texas and Florida both incorporated in the Union in 1845?" |
12901 | Were the travellers at last about to reach their desired goal? |
12901 | What answers could be made to_ savants_ who had looked into the dark depths of the amphitheatre of Pluto? |
12901 | What are these diameters compared to that of Clavius, which we are over in this moment?" |
12901 | What armour- plate could ever resist a projectile of 30,000 lbs.? |
12901 | What can be added to these figures, so eloquent in themselves? |
12901 | What can he be doing?" |
12901 | What did it contain-- the living or the dead? |
12901 | What did they distinguish across that distance which they could not estimate? |
12901 | What did we see? |
12901 | What do you mean by that?" |
12901 | What does it matter about hyperbola or parabola if they both carry us indefinitely into space?" |
12901 | What enlargement do you hope to obtain thus?" |
12901 | What geological phenomenon had caused those ardent beams? |
12901 | What had become of them? |
12901 | What had caused it? |
12901 | What had happened? |
12901 | What had happened? |
12901 | What happened during that week? |
12901 | What have they done? |
12901 | What have they seen? |
12901 | What inhabitant of the earth perceives the speed which carries him along at the rate of 68,000 miles an hour? |
12901 | What is the exact distance that separates the earth and her satellite? |
12901 | What kind of spectacle would her hidden hemisphere present to our terrestrial spheroid? |
12901 | What pen could describe it, what palette would be rich enough in colours to reproduce its magnificence? |
12901 | What place in the heavens will the moon occupy at the moment when the projectile will start?'' |
12901 | What point in the heavens ought the cannon, destined to hurl the projectile, be aimed at? |
12901 | What probability could there be that any man should conceive the idea of such a journey? |
12901 | What velocity then animated the projectile? |
12901 | What was a fall of twelve leagues? |
12901 | What was he doing then? |
12901 | What was that pretentious globe which nearly knocked against us?" |
12901 | What was the astonishing firing at Jena or Austerlitz, which decided the fate of the battle? |
12901 | What was the cause of that singular intoxication, the consequences of which might prove so disastrous? |
12901 | What was the effect of the frightful shock? |
12901 | What was the origin of these shining rays running equally over plains and reliefs, however high? |
12901 | What was this radiating aureole? |
12901 | What were Barbicane and his companions doing whilst they were hastening to their succour? |
12901 | What will it be, therefore, when, with twenty times that speed, we shall hurl it with a rapidity of seven miles a second? |
12901 | What would become of these bold travellers in the most immediate future? |
12901 | What would happen then? |
12901 | What would they discover in the field of this telescope which magnified objects 48,000 times? |
12901 | Whatever is that wretched moon?" |
12901 | When did she leave Europe? |
12901 | Whence comes that oscillation? |
12901 | Where can they be?" |
12901 | Where is he hiding himself?" |
12901 | Where is the bullet? |
12901 | Where is the time when cannon awoke you every morning with its joyful reports?" |
12901 | Where was it going? |
12901 | Where were they at that moment, 8 a.m. during that day called upon earth the sixth of December? |
12901 | Where would the hazards of attraction have taken it? |
12901 | Where would the projectile be in another fortnight? |
12901 | Where would they have found a calmer or more peaceful place to sleep in? |
12901 | Which course ought he to decide upon? |
12901 | Who can tell the cause, reason, or justification of such cataclysms?" |
12901 | Who could have expected such an error in calculation? |
12901 | Who could predict the universal emotion then at its paroxysm? |
12901 | Who could say? |
12901 | Who knows whether the inhabitants of the other planets are not more advanced than the_ savants_ of the earth on the subject of their satellites?" |
12901 | Who would have imagined such a meeting of asteroids? |
12901 | Why are we not going towards it?" |
12901 | Why ca n''t we go into space through the port- light? |
12901 | Why did we not fasten a telegraph wire to our bullet? |
12901 | Why do they grease the axles of the wheels? |
12901 | Why should not this journey be accomplished one day or another? |
12901 | Why should the projectile of the Gun Club escape that natural arrangement? |
12901 | Will it never get cool? |
12901 | Will not a fresh opportunity present itself to try the ranges of our projectiles? |
12901 | Will not the moon again pass the zenith of Florida? |
12901 | Will that do?" |
12901 | Will the atmosphere be no longer illuminated by the lightning of our cannons? |
12901 | Will you please listen to me and spare objections for the present? |
12901 | Wo n''t France run down one of our steamers, or wo n''t England, in defiance of the rights of nations, hang up three or four of our countrymen?" |
12901 | Wo n''t some international difficulty crop up that will allow us to declare war against some transatlantic power? |
12901 | Would a service of navigation ever be founded across space for the solar world? |
12901 | Would direct communication ever be established with the moon? |
12901 | Would news of them ever reach the earth? |
12901 | Would not our first installation have been made under better circumstances? |
12901 | Would not those millions of spectators who had invaded the Floridian peninsula rush to meet the sublime adventurers? |
12901 | Would they pass it near enough to resolve certain problems in physics and geology until then unsolved? |
12901 | Yet what was to become of them amidst these infinite solitudes when air failed them? |
12901 | You all know that curious cellular matter which constitutes the elementary tissues of vegetables?" |
12901 | and is it not summed up in these four words? |
12901 | and what is ether?" |
12901 | answered Michel,"do you think they have had artists like Phidias, Michael Angelo, or Raphael?" |
12901 | asked Barbicane,"did you bring such trifles as those?" |
12901 | asked Michel Ardan,"do you mean to say that we are already beyond the terrestrial atmosphere?" |
12901 | asked Michel;"is it absolute void?" |
12901 | comets?" |
12901 | cried Ardan,"that thin streak, that silvery crescent?" |
12901 | cried Michel Ardan,"upon the moon?" |
12901 | cried Michel, jumping a yard high--"why? |
12901 | exclaimed the captain,"what have you come here for, sir?" |
12901 | have I any time to lose? |
12901 | how do we know we were not wiser then?" |
12901 | it cried,"are we not as American as you? |
12901 | murmured the president;"why did we not hear the detonation?" |
12901 | now I think of it, now that all our anxieties are over, what will become of us? |
12901 | through what?" |
12901 | water?" |
12901 | when these craters vomited torrents of lava and stones, with clouds of smoke and sheets of flame? |
12901 | why?" |
12901 | you will not open the doors of the inclosure to all comers?" |
