21105And how shall we get there?
21105And how would you manage to have no smoke?

21105But your sermon, papa?
21105By the three o''clock train, eh?

21105Then I may depend on your doing so now, eh?
21105Then why dose him any more with book learning, eh? 21105 There''s nothing wrong with him, I hope?"
21105This your nephew?
21105Wat''s dat?
21105Well, how are you getting on?
21105Well, young shaver,he said,"how are you getting on?"
21105Well?
21105Well?

21105What a lot there''ll be for you to see, my hearty, eh?

21105What say you to Maitland being your name and Vernon that of your companion, eh, my young cocksparrow?
21105What''s the matter?
21105What? 21105 What?"
21105Where is your grandma, sir?
21105Where?
21105Who would have thought the little puss would have been so thoughtful? 21105 Why ca n''t you let him be?"
21105Why, has n''t he been yet?
21105Why, wherever can Miss Conny be all this time?
21105Why?
21105Why?
21105You are very kind,said she;"but, I hardly like to trouble you?"
21105You do n''t mean that, sir-- not in that bundle o''yours surely, sir?
21105Any of you going down to the station to meet them?"
21105Are there any other midshipmen like myself?"
21105Do n''t you remember?
21105Do you know where he is, Liz?"
21105Going to take''em with you to London, sir?"
21105He''s a bright intelligent boy-- you do n''t think him an ignoramus, Jolly, eh?"
21105Hi, boatman, seen any one belonging to the_ Greenock_ ashore?"
21105I hope he will be good-- eh, my boy?"
21105Is n''t that so, Mr Capstan?"
21105Is that you?"
21105Let us bear up for granny''s-- you have n''t been to her place before, have you, eh?"
21105Still, he ca n''t go into the church yet; what are you going to do with him in the meantime, eh?"
21105This could be readily reasoned out at a glance; but, where could Teddy be, the striker of the match, the inceptor of all the mischief?
21105What do you mean by it, eh?"
21105What was to be done?
21105Whatever shall we do?"
21105Where were the canvas tents of the diggers, and the claims, and all?

21105Why did you not stay in the boat?"
21105Why do n''t you learn to look on the bright side of things, child?
21105Would you like a cup of tea now, sir?
21105ejaculated Molly with open- mouth astonishment, curtseying and smiling:"you doant mean that?"
21105he exclaimed,"can I believe my eyes?--is it really you?"
21105is that your reason, brother- in- law?
21105the man said, his voice being much pleasanter than his looks,"where do you hail from?
21105what are you doing there?"
105And has it indeed been spoken of?
105And who is Admiral Croft?
105And-- were you much acquainted?
105Anne, Anne,cried Charles,"What is to be done next?
105Are you going as high as Belmont? 105 Are you serious?"
105But how shall we prove anything?
105But was not she a very low woman?
105But what does Lady Russell think of this acquaintance?
105But, could you be comfortable yourself, to be spending the whole evening away from the poor boy?
105Can you really?
105Did you go then? 105 Did you observe the woman who opened the door to you when you called yesterday?"
105Did you say that you had something to tell me, sir?
105Do you think so? 105 Had not she better be carried to the inn?
105Had you?
105Have they any acquaintance here?
105Have you finished your letter?
105How is Mary looking?
105How is Mary?
105I suppose you will not like to call at the Great House before they have been to see you?
105I think you spoke of having known Mr Elliot many years?
105Is not this song worth staying for?
105Is there no one to help me?
105Look here,said he, unfolding a parcel in his hand, and displaying a small miniature painting,"do you know who that is?"
105Mr Elliot does not dislike his cousin, I fancy?
105Not before he was married, I suppose?
105Now, how would she speak of him?
105Old Lady Mary Maclean? 105 Perhaps you may not have heard that he is married?"
105Perhaps,cried Anne, struck by a sudden idea,"you sometimes spoke of me to Mr Elliot?"
105Pray,said Captain Wentworth, immediately,"can you tell us the name of the gentleman who is just gone away?"
105She would have turned back then, but for you?
105Should I? 105 The Crofts have arrived in Bath?
105The Ibbotsons, were they there? 105 True,"said Anne,"very true; I did not recollect; but what shall we say now, Captain Harville?
105Walter,cried Charles Hayter,"why do you not do as you are bid?
105Well, and I had heard of you as a very pretty girl, and what were we to wait for besides? 105 Wentworth?
105What is this?
105What should they do without her? 105 When did that happen?"
105Where shall we go?
105Yes; you see his papa can, and why should not I? 105 You have had your little boys with you?"
105''How d''ye do?''
105''In the name of heaven, who is that old fellow?''
105A good place is not it?
105A new sort of way this, for a young fellow to be making love, by breaking his mistress''s head, is not it, Miss Elliot?
105A prize indeed would Kellynch Hall be to him; rather the greatest prize of all, let him have taken ever so many before; hey, Shepherd?"
105A sensible man, and he had looked like a very sensible man, why should it be an object to him?
105A widow Mrs Smith; and who was her husband?
105A''n''t I a good boy?
105After a moment''s pause, Captain Wentworth said--"Do you mean that she refused him?"
105After another short silence--"Pray,"said Mrs Smith,"is Mr Elliot aware of your acquaintance with me?
105After waiting another moment--"You mean Mr Wentworth, I suppose?"
105And under such a supposition, which would have been most miserable, when time had disclosed all, too late?
105And what is her attraction?
105And, pray, who is Charles Hayter?
105Anne half smiled and said,"Do you see that in my eye?"
105Anne, have you courage to go with me, and pay a visit in that house?
105Anne, must not it be our Mr Elliot?
105Are not you astonished?
105Are you going near Camden Place?
105But here comes a friend, Captain Brigden; I shall only say,''How d''ye do?''
105But then, is not it the same with many other professions, perhaps most other?
105But who else was there to employ?
105But why be acquainted with us now?"
105But why should you be cruel?
105Can I be of any use?"
105Can I go anywhere for you, or with you?
105Can any thing be stronger?"
105Can you fail to have understood my wishes?
105Captain Harville smiled, as much as to say,"Do you claim that for your sex?"
105Chapter 24 Who can be in doubt of what followed?
105Charles, Anne, must not it?
105Could Anne wonder that her father and sister were happy?
105Could it be Mr Elliot?
105Could the knowledge have been extended through her family?
105Could there have been any unpleasant glances?
105Dear Miss Elliot, may I not say father and son?"
105Did he see you last summer or autumn,''somewhere down in the west,''to use her own words, without knowing it to be you?"
105Did you ever see the like?
105Do not you agree with me, that it is the best thing he could do, both for himself and Mrs Shirley?
105Do not you hear your aunt speak?
105Do not you think, Anne, it is being over- scrupulous?
105Do not you think, Miss Elliot, we had better try to get him to Bath?"
105Do not you, Anne?
105Do you think Lady Russell would like that?"
105Do you think he had the Elliot countenance?
105Do you think this is a good plan?"
105Does he know that I am in Bath?"
105Does it occur to you that there is any one article in which we can retrench?"
105Does she never mean to go away?
105Elizabeth, may we venture to present him and his wife in Laura Place?"
105Forty?"
105Had she been using any thing in particular?"
105Have not I done well, mother?"
105Have you forgot that we are engaged to Camden Place to- morrow night?
105Have you not seen this?
105He had given her some hints of it the last spring in town; he had gone so far even as to say,"Can we retrench?
105He was preparing only to bow and pass on, but her gentle"How do you do?"
105How are your neighbours at the Great House?"
105How can you be so forgetful?"
105How could I look on without agony?
105How could it be?
105How could it ever be ascertained that his mind was truly cleansed?
105How do you like Bath, Miss Elliot?
105How does he know that he is going on well, or that there may not be a sudden change half an hour hence?
105How many days was it, my dear, between the first time of my seeing you and our sitting down together in our lodgings at North Yarmouth?"
105How so?
105How was Anne to set all these matters to rights?
105How was such jealousy to be quieted?
105How was the truth to reach him?
105How would it all be?
105How, in all the peculiar disadvantages of their respective situations, would he ever learn of her real sentiments?
105I am sure you hear nothing but good of him from Colonel Wallis; and who can know him better than Colonel Wallis?"
105I hope you think Louisa perfectly recovered now?"
105I should like to know why you imagine I am?"
105I suppose you know he wanted to marry Anne?"
105If he were a little spoilt by such universal, such eager admiration, who could wonder?
105Is he coming, Louisa?"
105Is this true?
105It is bad for him, I know, to be shut up as he is; but what can we do?
105Miss Elliot, do you remember our walking together at Lyme, and grieving for him?
105Mr Elliot married then completely for money?
105My dear cousin"( sitting down by her),"you have a better right to be fastidious than almost any other woman I know; but will it answer?
105Next week?
105No, you would not guess, from his way of writing, that he had ever thought of this Miss( what''s her name?)
105Now, how were his sentiments to be read?
105Only think if anything should happen?"
105Only to Gay Street, or farther up the town?"
105Penelope, my dear, can you help me to the name of the gentleman who lived at Monkford: Mrs Croft''s brother?"
105Pray sir,"turning to the waiter,"did not you hear, did not his servant say whether he belonged to the Kellynch family?"
105Presently, struck by a sudden thought, Charles said--"Captain Wentworth, which way are you going?
105Shall I mention to him your being in Bath?
105Shall I take any message?"
105She caught it instantaneously; and recovering her courage with the feeling of safety, soon added, more composedly,"Are you acquainted with Mr Elliot?"
105She only attempted to say,"How do you do?
105She roused herself to say, as they struck by order into another path,"Is not this one of the ways to Winthrop?"
105Should not this be enough for a sailor, who has had no society among women to make him nice?"
105Such a heart is very little worth having; is it, Lady Russell?
105The Crofts who rent Kellynch?
105The child was to be kept in bed and amused as quietly as possible; but what was there for a father to do?
105There the news must follow him, but who was to tell it?
105To be sure, I may just as well go as not, for I am of no use at home-- am I?
105Was he at all such as he appears now?"
105Was it not enough to make the fool of me which I appeared?
105Was it unpardonable to think it worth my while to come?
105Was not it Mrs Speed, as usual, or the maid?
105Was this like wishing to avoid her?
105Well,"( turning away),"now, where are you bound?
105What do you take his age to be?''
105What have they brought you?"
105What is Mr Elliot to me?"
105What is her age?
105What might not eight years do?
105What queer fellows your fine painters must be, to think that anybody would venture their lives in such a shapeless old cockleshell as that?
105What should a young fellow like you do ashore for half a year together?
105What will he be doing, in fact, but what very many of our first families have done, or ought to do?
105What, in heaven''s name, is to be done next?"
105When people come in this manner on purpose to ask us, how can one say no?"
105When the Crofts called this morning,( they called here afterwards, did not they?
105Where can you look for a more suitable match?
105Where could have been the attraction?
105Where could you expect a more gentlemanlike, agreeable man?
105Where was this superfine, extraordinary sort of gallantry of yours then?"
105Who could it be?
105Who is it?
105Who is your party?"
105Why did Mr Elliot draw back?"
105Why was it?
105Why was not she to be as useful as Anne?
105Why was she to suspect herself of another motive?
105Will it make you happy?
105Will it not be wiser to accept the society of those good ladies in Laura Place, and enjoy all the advantages of the connexion as far as possible?
105Will not this manner of speaking of him, Mrs Smith, convince you that he is nothing to me?
105Will you not sit down?
105Will you promise me to mention it, when you see them again?
105Would she recollect him?
105Would you, in short, have renewed the engagement then?"
105and to arrive with some degree of hope?
105how can you think of such a thing?
105is it you?
105my father''s next heir?
105replied Charles,"what''s an evening party?
105said Elizabeth; and without waiting for an answer,"And pray what brings the Crofts to Bath?"
105said he,"and who is Miss Anne Elliot to be visiting in Westgate Buildings?
105what can you possibly have to do?"
105what was his name?
105when shall I leave you again?"
105you are acquainted with him?"
39662''"Ah, Emerald,"she said,"so this is the pretty child you saved?
39662''"And shall I never see you again, then?"
39662''"Are you happy with Emerald?"
39662''"But Emerald will come too?"
39662''"Emerald,"she exclaimed,"you did not steal her surely?"
39662''"Oh, baby darling,"she said,"what has put such fancies in your little head?
39662''"Show me the pretty things,"she said,"and then, then you will take me home, kind lady, wo n''t you?
39662''"What are the memories of the past that make you happy to remember now?"
39662''"What are you all talking about?"
39662''"What is it,"she said;"is the lady angry with you?"
39662''"What sort of thing?"
39662''"You told me,"she said,"you told me not to live for myself, but for the service of others-- have I not been doing so?"
39662''A piece of news, you said, aunt?
39662''Ah, well, how would you like to hear a story, instead of paying another visit?''
39662''And do you think it_ might_ have been one of them I heard laughing?''
39662''And how did we get here?''
39662''And if you please where are we, and what are you going to show us now?''
39662''And nuts with the other?''
39662''And oh,''said Leonore, suddenly diving into her jacket pocket,''that reminds me, Fraulein-- where are the nuts she gave me?
39662''And this is the gossamer-- may I touch it?''
39662''And was it not strange that she should have come to meet us?''
39662''And what do you think we are meant to do now?''
39662''And what for, if you please?''
39662''And who sent you?''
39662''And why should we have"big fires,"or furnaces, or whatever you call the clumsy things?''
39662''Are n''t you going to eat anything yourselves?''
39662''Are they all the little young birds?''
39662''Are we half- way there yet?''
39662''Are we on the other side of the sky?''
39662''Are we up on the roof of the Castle, or where?''
39662''Are you awake, Hildegarde?''
39662''Are you going to take us all the way home yourself?''
39662''Are you going to take us somewhere?''
39662''Are you the air- fairies?''
39662''Besides what?''
39662''But if you make such a great many, where do you send the others to?
39662''But it looks as if very real people had built_ that_, does it not?''
39662''But please,''began Hildegarde again,''if I may ask you questions, do tell me what you are all busy about, besides teaching the birds to sing?''
39662''But the fairy did say something to you,''Leonore reminded her,''"throw high,"was n''t that what she said?''
39662''But where do they send them to?''
39662''But why should you want snowstorms?''
39662''Ca n''t we go to the Castle?
39662''Can it be water?''
39662''Could the gnomes be vexed at our coming?''
39662''Did I not tell you?
39662''Did they have a grand feast, and did they invite any fairies?
39662''Did you hear that, Fraulein?''
39662''Do you count gardening easy work, then, if you put such young gnomes to do it?''
39662''Do you have all you eat sent down from our country, or from Fairyland?''
39662''Do you make toys down here?''
39662''Do you mean that the little girl is perhaps coming to live here in this house with us?''
39662''Do you mean,''she began,''Hildegarde,_ can_ you mean that perhaps we are going to find the way to Fairyland?
39662''Does n''t the room look pretty?''
39662''Even if what?''
39662''Have we been dreaming?''
39662''Have you enjoyed the concert?''
39662''Here I am,''she said,''what is it?''
39662''Hildegarde,''said Leonore as they were walking on,''how shall we know when we are meant to crack the next two nuts?''
39662''Hildegarde,''whispered Leonore,''are you frightened?
39662''How can I tap with it?
39662''How could you know?
39662''How could you know?''
39662''How did we get out of the panniers?''
39662''How did you catch cold?''
39662''How lovely that would be,''she said,''do tell me what makes you think so, Hildegarde?''
39662''How shall we get to her?''
39662''I am not in the least giddy; are you?''
39662''I never felt anything, did you, Leonore?''
39662''I think,''she said, getting up from the ground as she spoke,''I think we must be going-- don''t you, Leonore?''
39662''I wonder how soon we shall know?''
39662''I wonder what will happen when we crack_ them_, Hildegarde?''
39662''If you please,''said Hildegarde,''are you packing flowers?''
39662''Indeed,''said the gnome,''and what then?
39662''Is it a very long drive to Dorf?''
39662''Is it time for us to go home now?''
39662''Is n''t it lovely?''
39662''Is n''t it pretty here?''
39662''Is not that better than your scorching furnaces?
39662''Is there any fear?''
39662''It was all too lovely, was n''t it?''
39662''It would n''t do to ask Aunt Anna, or Fraulein, I suppose?''
39662''May I, oh may I tell Leonore?''
39662''May n''t we get out here and walk on a little way?''
39662''May n''t we see the toy factory?
39662''May we ask you questions?''
39662''May we go now, Aunt Anna?
39662''May we walk through your-- garden?''
39662''Mending_ old_ horse- shoes?
39662''Never mind where you are,''the fairy replied;''is it not enough for you to know that you are with me?
39662''Oh dear, oh dear,''sobbed the little women,''what_ shall_ we do?
39662''Oh no,''said the old lady tranquilly,''I know you are as safe as you can be-- you are going to the woods, I suppose?''
39662''Oh that is where you have taken up your quarters, is it?''
39662''Oh, Hildegarde, how queer everything is down here-- don''t you think we had better go home?''
39662''Oh,''exclaimed Leonore,''do you really think we should?
39662''Oh,''interrupted Leonore,''is this the home of the Four Winds?--is this the place where they start from, and meet again and make all their plans?''
39662''P''raps they go back to Fairyland every night, and are here every day; fairies do n''t need to go to sleep ever, do they?''
39662''Please tell me, Aunt Anna,''she said,''as you were at Hildegarde''s christening, was there any one there who_ might_ have been a fairy?''
39662''Please tell us,''said Leonore timidly,''do you always sit here, except when you come up to where we live?
39662''Say?''
39662''Shall I ring it, or will you?''
39662''Shall we find you here when we come back, please, dear fairy lady?''
39662''She hoped you would come back with me after our walk; but, Hildegarde, what shall we say if they ask where we have been?''
39662''Singing- school,''repeated Hildegarde,''what can that mean?''
39662''Surely this is Fairyland itself at last?''
39662''Thank you,''said Hildegarde again,''may I have some blackberries?
39662''That means that I am to----''he cleared his throat and hesitated for a moment, then went on again,''to tire myself out doing showman; I suppose?''
39662''Then you_ are_ a fairy,''Leonore burst out,''and it was you I heard laugh on our way here-- wasn''t it?''
39662''Up to our world, do you mean?''
39662''Up to where?''
39662''Well,''said Aunt Anna,''this country is on the borders of Fairyland, so who can say?
39662''Well?''
39662''What are lucky pennies?''
39662''What are these things?''
39662''What are they doing?''
39662''What are you spinning now?''
39662''What can it mean?''
39662''What can it mean?''
39662''What can that be?''
39662''What has become of the little brown paper?''
39662''What is a presentiment?''
39662''What may I have the pleasure of helping you to first?''
39662''What shall we do with ourselves?''
39662''What?''
39662''Where have we got to?''
39662''Who sent you down here?''
39662''Why is the light so red?''
39662''Why not?''
39662''Will you give her my love, Fraulein Elsa, and tell her so?
39662''Would you not like to see a little more of our country?
39662''Yes,''she agreed,''but we would like to know why you are doing it-- I mean where are all the packages to be sent to, and what for?''
39662''You are awake, my child?''
39662''You have found it?''
39662''You have your nuts quite safe?''
39662''You wo n''t think it rude, will you?
39662''_ Is n''t_ she like an old fairy?
39662Above all, would she care for the same things-- would she love fairies, and be always hoping to see one some day?
39662And about to- morrow,''she went on,''may Leonore come up immediately after dinner?
39662And after a time, she began to ask herself how and where she was to seek for the treasure she had felt so confident of finding for the princess?
39662And are you always spinning?''
39662And is Dorf as near Fairyland as this dear old town, do you think?''
39662And it is n''t like a hotel, is it?
39662And the little breezes are kind, are n''t they?
39662And when they opened them again-- where were they?
39662And, I''m not sure, but I think I''m rather hungry, so may n''t we have supper at once?''
39662Are the chairs all covered with blue silk?''
39662Are you not happy with Emerald and all your pretty toys and games?
39662But I should have liked to peep into the houses-- wouldn''t you, Leonore?
39662But oh, Hildegarde, that must be the gate into gnomeland-- I am so glad it does not feel any hotter; it is quite nice and cool, is n''t it?''
39662But then, why did n''t you hear it too, Fraulein, and what was it laughing at, do you think?
39662But where are our beds, Hildegarde?''
39662But where was the tiny hammer?
39662CHAPTER V''WHAT''S O''CLOCK?''
39662CHAPTER VIII TREE- TOP LAND Where were you taught your song, little bird?
39662Could anything be prettier or rarer as a gift to our princess?"
39662Did you tidy it at all after I got into bed last night, Hildegarde?''
39662Do n''t you think so?''
39662Do n''t you think so?''
39662Do you never come down to our world yourself, fairy?''
39662Do you really mean it?
39662Do you think we denizens of the under- world are as stupid as your clumsy workmen up above?
39662Do you think we should see any of them?''
39662Does n''t the running and trickling sound pretty?
39662Flying or swimming, which was it?
39662Fraulein had said ten o''clock, had she not?
39662Good news, I hope?''
39662Have you had a pleasant afternoon?''
39662How can we find out how to make him go?''
39662How queer everything looks-- do you think the people are all in bed, Fraulein?''
39662I almost wish----''''What?''
39662I think we shall get to know each other far the best by being alone by ourselves-- don''t you think so?''
39662If only he and mamma were here, and your father, Leonore, we should have everything we could want in the world, would n''t we?''
39662Is it not in your pocket?''
39662Is n''t it too lovely?
39662Is that one he is making?''
39662Is there a mill here?''
39662It had n''t seemed half so late that night as it did now-- would ten o''clock_ never_ come?
39662It is the spinning- wheel fairy-- don''t you hear the whirr?
39662It is very late for them, is n''t it?''
39662It looks as if it had dungeons and-- and-- forti-- What is the word, Fraulein?''
39662It seems like the country, and oh, are n''t you glad to be out of the train?
39662It seems unkind to have lost them-- do you want me to throw these last three away?''
39662It was quite different from gnomeland,''Hildegarde went on,''and yet you say that both these countries are on the way to real Fairyland?''
39662It''s a nice feeling, going up so fast, is n''t it, but I wonder where we are going to?''
39662May I ask you to step inside?''
39662May I come this afternoon?''
39662May Leonore come to the foot of the Castle hill with me?''
39662My great- great- great- grandmother, was n''t it?''
39662Oh, I see-- it is cobwebs, is it not?''
39662Oh, it''s quite a common thing; but, oh dear, dear, what_ shall_ we do about the collation?''
39662Shall I go in now to see Aunt Anna?''
39662Shall we sit down?
39662That shows, I hope, that the air- fairies entertained you well?''
39662Then after a little pause she added,''Would your old aunt think me very silly for believing about fairies?
39662There was plenty for Leonore to think about, and dream about, that first night in the quaint little house, was there not?
39662They reminded her of some other smile-- whose was it?
39662We want to get to Fairyland, and you can show us the way, can you not?''
39662We''re_ there_--do you hear?
39662What are all the other countries, do you think?''
39662What can it be?''
39662What shall I do with them, if I must n''t eat them?
39662Where are the streets and-- and-- everything?
39662Where is your nut, Hildegarde?''
39662Who could be severe with her?''
39662Who sent you to kiss us, you breezes of May?
39662Who was it that worked them, grandmamma?
39662Whose smile could it be?
39662Wo n''t you eat one yourself?''
39662Would she be taller or smaller than herself-- dark or fair, merry or quiet?
39662Would you like to see them?
39662You have had rainy weather lately, I suppose?''
39662You have slept well?
39662You will not be anxious even if Leonore does not come home till dark?''
39662You would rather have it downstairs, I suppose?''
39662You''ve heard the story of the one that came to my christening feast?''
39662[ Illustration:"WHO SENT YOU TO KISS US, YOU BREEZES OF MAY?"]
39662_ Spring Song._ Where were they?
39662asked Hildegarde;''is the thread to make ladders of again?''
39662could it be that they were slackening speed?
39662said Leonore,''and this time I do n''t feel as if we had been dreaming, do you, Hildegarde?''
39662she exclaimed;''do you hear that sound, Leonore?
31836A cow?
31836A pair of shears?
31836A pig?
31836Afraid? 31836 And what about the time when you ca n''t work, William?
31836And why not?
31836And you''ll come and see me-- in the hospital-- Saturdays?
31836Anything else, missie?
31836Are there any more things for me to hang out, Aunt Emma?
31836Are they for sale?
31836Are those for me?
31836Are you sure?
31836Aunt Emma, can I help you wash up the tea- things?
31836Aunt Emma,she said half- timidly,"may I give Margery something to eat?
31836Aunt Maggie, do you know what is going to happen?
31836Aunt Maggie,said Bella,"what does that line in the Carol mean,''And hear the angels sing''?"
31836Bees?
31836Bella, dear, you want to do what''s best for your father, do n''t you, and you do n''t want to think about yourself? 31836 Bella, if I''ve got some flowers next Saturday, will you take in a bunch and sell them for me?"
31836Bella,he said at last,"do you know what I''ve a good mind to do?"
31836But how can I begin, and when?
31836But there,she sighed, dropping back into her usual melancholy manner,"what does it matter?
31836But what about you, Tom? 31836 Ca n''t we sell anything else?"
31836Ca n''t you get up?
31836Ca n''t you say you''re glad when you see him? 31836 Call the children, will you?"
31836Canaries?
31836Child,she said at last,"why do n''t you do up some bunches, and carry them into Norton on a market day, or any other day, and try to sell them?
31836Could I carry it in my pocket?
31836Could n''t we?
31836Disappointment?
31836Do n''t you think they''d sell, father?
31836Do the work?
31836Do you come every week with flowers?
31836Do you come here often with flowers?
31836Do you mean to say you have n''t brought home anything new?
31836Do you really? 31836 Do you think father is really better, miss?"
31836Do you think the fairies put it there for me?
31836Do you think you will ever sell all you''ve got there?
31836Does God order that, Aunt Maggie? 31836 Does n''t it make a difference how anybody speaks?"
31836Does n''t she ask half- a- crown a day and his food? 31836 Does n''t she know?"
31836Flowers, ma''am? 31836 Flowers, ma''am?"
31836Has He got special work for me?
31836Have you been a good girl?
31836Have you got any lavender?
31836Have you got any?
31836Have you seen the poker?
31836How about that sage I asked you to look for?
31836How many loaves shall I take in?
31836How much a bunch are they?
31836How should I have a cow? 31836 However did you manage it?
31836I ca n''t wear my fimble to church, I s''pose?
31836I must go and see about the dinner now, and, Bella, it is time to get ready for church; you''ll see that they are all clean and tidy, wo n''t you?
31836I often wish, Aunt Maggie,she said affectionately,"that I could live with you, but it would never do, would it?"
31836I s''pose Aunt Emma would n''t let them sleep in my room, in a basket? 31836 I s''pose you did n''t see any sage in the garden when you were there just now?"
31836I should n''t be sorry if we were at the other end of the five miles, should you?
31836I think if we were to put the new house next to the old one it would be best, do n''t you?
31836I think it looks lovely there, do n''t you, daddy? 31836 I wonder what she''ll say when she sees me?"
31836I wonder where God is going to send me, and what work He has for me to do?
31836I''m hungry; ai n''t you?
31836Is it a nice secret? 31836 Is n''t it good to be together again?
31836Is your''get- me- not growing, daddy?
31836Is-- he-- dead?
31836It is n''t a fairy rose, is it?
31836Let us have some carols, children, shall we?
31836Lovely?
31836May I come in sometimes and serve the customers?
31836My legs are aching a bit, are n''t yours?
31836Not in service, Aunt Maggie?
31836Now kiss me, Bella; you''ll look after the little one? 31836 Now,"said Aunt Emma, with a sigh, as she rose,"who is going to help me with the dishes?"
31836Oh, but, Aunt Maggie, do you think I could? 31836 Oh, but, Aunt Maggie, how could I?
31836Oh, father, are you here? 31836 Oh, it is, is n''t it?
31836Or do you think God sended it to me''cause I''ve been a good girl?
31836Orchard?
31836Pigeons?
31836Please, do you want any flowers?
31836Shall I know by an''by?
31836Shall we go now?
31836That''ll be three flowers in my garden; I''ll be able to pick some soon, wo n''t I?
31836Then why did n''t you?
31836They are n''t there,stammered Bella nervously,"they have n''t come back----""Back from where?"
31836Tom,she called back,"can you paint a sign- board?
31836We shall be very lonely, Emma, when these two are away all day, sha n''t we? 31836 We will have a rest here, shall we?"
31836We''d better go to High Street first, had n''t we? 31836 We''d better uncover our baskets first, and show what we''ve got to sell, had n''t we?
31836We''ll take them one of those peppermint walking- sticks,said Tom,"shall we?
31836Well, ca n''t you coax him to? 31836 Well, what about the shop?"
31836What are you going to plant in your garden now, daddy?
31836What are you looking for?
31836What can Margery do?
31836What do you know about bees?
31836What does every one say to that?
31836What happened?
31836What is it? 31836 What is it?
31836What is it? 31836 What shall you do with yours, Tom?"
31836What will there be to take in next week?
31836What''ll you do for flowers to put in it, though?
31836What''s wrong?
31836Whatever can be inside them all?
31836When I''ve got a pig to sell will you carry it in too and sell it for me?
31836Where are the children? 31836 Where are the children?"
31836Where are they going to sleep to- night?
31836Where do you get such beautiful flowers?
31836Where is it you are going?
31836Where''s father?
31836Where''s the herb- bed?
31836Wherever have you been?
31836Why ca n''t they let him stay at home? 31836 Why ca n''t we all go shares in a stall in Norton Market?"
31836Why could n''t Aunt Emma try and make the best of things?
31836Will he get well again?
31836Will you have to live in Norton altogether?
31836Will you please to accept one?
31836Will you tell Aunt Emma about it, Tom? 31836 Will you, please, pass me that box on the table?"
31836Wo n''t Charlie and Margery be excited to hear all about it?
31836Would n''t she charge a lot?
31836Yes, I think so,hesitatingly;"have n''t I, Bella?"
31836Yes, why not?
31836You always will care for your poor auntie, wo n''t you, dear?
31836You did n''t send and ask Mrs. Langley to give Margery something to eat, did you?
31836You do care for your auntie, do n''t you, dear?
31836You do think he will get well? 31836 You wo n''t expect me to help you look after them, will you?"
31836You would put it in the window for me, would n''t you, so that people could see it?
31836You''ll look after them-- till-- I come back?
31836A cow?"
31836And look here,"holding out her apron, in which were a number of large brown eggs,"could n''t you carry in some of these and sell them?
31836Are they for sale?"
31836Are you glad, daddy?"
31836At least four of pink, and two of white?"
31836Aunt Emma, ca n''t we manage like this, just for once?
31836But I see the kettle is boiling, and we''ll have some tea, and we wo n''t grumble because we''ve got to get it ourselves, will we?"
31836Ca n''t I bottle some of my herbs to sell?
31836Ca n''t you help to make his home more cheerful and comfortable?
31836Ca n''t you show an interest in the garden, and ask your father to help you to make it neat and nice again?
31836Can you,"--to Bella--"give me six bunches of pink ones?
31836Daddy, wo n''t you have a garden too, and have flowers in it?"
31836Did n''t you tell them?"
31836Did you tell her that, too?
31836Do n''t you agree, everybody?"
31836Do n''t you think so?"
31836Do n''t you, father?"
31836Do n''t you?"
31836Do you hear?
31836Do you mind coming back to my house with me?
31836Do you remember passing a church at the top of the street, just as you come in to Norton?"
31836Do you think I should ever sell any?"
31836Do you think it is right or fair to bring up children without any knowledge that''ll earn them a decent, respectable living?"
31836Do you think we might, Tom?"
31836Do you think you could bear the drive, father?"
31836Do you think you could walk so far?"
31836Does He tell people where they must go?
31836Does n''t it make a difference?"
31836Flowers?"
31836Have you got candles for it?"
31836He''ll be sure to be back before the Fair, wo n''t he, Tom?"
31836He''ll like to have that, wo n''t he?"
31836How are you feeling this morning, William?"
31836How could she ever go on and face all the people, and show them her poor little store?
31836How much each are they?"
31836However did n''t we think of it before?
31836I do n''t know what we shall do, do you?"
31836I do n''t think it''s too soon, do you?"
31836I like to stop and think about it all; do n''t you, Aunt Maggie?
31836I never saw anything lovelier in my life?
31836I should have to go to people''s houses and ask them to buy, should n''t I?
31836I wonder if Aunt Emma will let us go?
31836I wonder if they''ve started yet?"
31836I wonder what she''s got planted in it?"
31836I would n''t like to eat them in the shop, with every one looking, would you?"
31836I''ll be able to give some of the leaves to the fowls, wo n''t I?"
31836If his head aches, he will be so glad of it; shall I?"
31836Illustration:"Flowers, Ma''am?
31836Is n''t it damp for you to be out?"
31836Is n''t it enough to frighten one to think of?
31836Is n''t it lovely to have money, and be able to buy things for people?"
31836It is a real one, is n''t it?"
31836It seems almost like asking for them, and I expect you wanted to sell them?"
31836It would be a bitter disappointment to give it up, would n''t it?"
31836It would be a great loss to you, would n''t it?"
31836Langley''s?"
31836Let me dig it over the first time; shall I, Bella?"
31836Margery stirred as she entered and spoke,"Is that you, Bella?"
31836May I?
31836Must she go up to people and stop them, and ask them to buy her flowers?
31836Now it''ll soon have lots of daisies on it, wo n''t it?
31836Nursing a chick?"
31836Oh, Aunt Emma, can you believe it?
31836Oh, I am so tired, are n''t you?"
31836Oh, how did it come?
31836Oh, you remember, Tom, do n''t you?"
31836Perhaps I shall see you here at this same place at the same time next week?"
31836Shall they, Bella?"
31836Shall we?"
31836Something nice, I hope, dear?"
31836Stella, darling, you would like to carry the flowers, would n''t you?
31836Surely you''m old enough to take the bread from him; or do you want me to do it while you look on?
31836The hens like them better than any flower, do n''t they?"
31836This was, how were they all to be fed, and clothed, and warmed, and their rent paid during the weeks that lay ahead of them?
31836To- day seemed a day set apart, a special day, for had not their father walked to the milestone to meet them?
31836Tom, do you think it would cost a lot of money to build a greenhouse?"
31836Tom, where shall we begin?
31836We are n''t any the worse off, are we?"
31836We wo n''t let them know anything about it till then, will we?"
31836Well, what about it?"
31836What are you going to grow in your garden, daddy?
31836What are you thinking of?"
31836What could she do?
31836What did it matter to him, he thought, what the cross- grained woman liked or did n''t like?
31836What do you mean?"
31836What do you think about it?"
31836What do you think of that?
31836What have''ee got there, little maid?"
31836What would be best?
31836What would you do then?
31836What''s happened?
31836Whatever is she doing?
31836Whatever made you go and ask somebody in?"
31836Where can we go for it, Tom?"
31836Where shall they go?"
31836Where''s the fork, Tom?
31836Which should she take?
31836Which would please her aunt?
31836Why did n''t you tell me?"
31836Why did n''t you think of it before, Bella?
31836Why ever did n''t we think of it sooner?"
31836Why, however did you get them now, child?
31836Why,"with a sudden clutch, at Bella''s thin arm,"could n''t you have come and asked me?
31836Will you come with me?
31836Will you take one, miss?"
31836Wo n''t that be enough?"
31836Would it do to leave them in the shed all night?"
31836Would n''t you like that?
31836Would she be very angry, she wondered, if she found out what she had done?
31836You are coming to dinner with us, of course?"
31836You tell it all, will you?"
31836You will tell me, Miss Hender, wo n''t you?
31836You wo n''t forget, will you?
31836a real one?"
31836and shall I have to do as He tells me, and go where He sends me?"
31836and where did you get all the things?"
31836as they suddenly came on the little yellow, waddling, screaming creatures,"ai n''t they lovely?"
31836asked Bella,"or bees, or pigeons?"
31836asked Charlie,"a s''prise?"
31836asked Tom disappointedly,"with the eggs and the apples and the stuff out of the garden?"
31836cried Bella, incredulously,"they would n''t give me a bit of ground, would they, anywhere I went?"
31836cried Mrs. Langley delightedly,"lilies?
31836he shouted;"what have you got?
31836or, if anything was to happen to you?
31836she cried, as they hurried after her,"do n''t you hear them calling to me?"
31836she cried,"where have you been?
20052An accident? 20052 And did you enjoy the_ pater''s_ smashing the Doulton bowl?"
20052And what do you suppose she came for?
20052And what do_ you_ propose to do in that case?
20052And why did my son put my most cherished work into a stranger''s hands without my knowledge?
20052And will you promise not to tell anybody that I''m trying-- not a single creature-- not even Felix or Jack?
20052And you wo n''t work so hard again, will you?
20052Are you coming?
20052Are you hurt, old fellow? 20052 Are you two coming, or are you not?"
20052Are you_ sure_ about this?
20052Art filled with fears for Thursday''s function?
20052But why this absurd disguise, if all this is true?
20052Ca n''t you behave yourselves, you young rascals?
20052Ca n''t you find anything better to do, Jack, than encouraging Betty to be rude and unladylike?
20052Coming, boys?
20052Could such an accident--I''d told him that Fee had struck his back against a chair and then fallen--"do anybody--_harm_?"
20052Did you think I was wound up to- night?
20052Do n''t you know me, old fellow?
20052Do n''t you want to get up?
20052Do you hear me?
20052Does n''t know you, old man, does she?
20052Does that satisfy you? 20052 Fee, dear,"she said in an undertone,"do n''t you feel well?
20052Fee,I whispered,--I did n''t want Nora to hear,--"can I do anything to help?
20052Felix and I are here, papa; what can we do for you?
20052Had n''t I better help you up, Fee?
20052How is your head?
20052I am, eh?
20052I suppose you think, as Nora does, that we''re a pretty mean set?
20052I wonder if Chad will be round?
20052I wonder what''s up?
20052I''ll see to that; do you suppose I''m_ utterly_ useless? 20052 I''m afraid Mädel will be off in a few minutes, too, if we do n''t quiet Kathie; had n''t I better call Nannie?"
20052I-- I-- mean-- were you going to burn-- your book?
20052If it is nervousness, why do n''t you do something for it?--go to a physician and get cured?
20052In fact, I think it is good; only, instead of three of you going at papa about it, why not let one speak for all? 20052 Is it the same trouble?"
20052Is that what you call it, Philip?
20052Jack,called papa,"are there anymore of them to come?
20052Jack,he said,"will you sit with Felix for a while?
20052Jack,she said softly,"say our verse for the day, will you?"
20052May I put this at your back?
20052May I walk with you part way home?
20052Meet whom? 20052 No,_ really_?
20052No?
20052Oh, Fee,I said nervously,"do you suppose he is ill,--that anything is going to happen to him?
20052Oh, Jack, is everybody awfully mad? 20052 Oh, Phil,"she said, as soon as she saw him,"come right in here, wo n''t you?
20052Oh, papa,I pleaded,"_ why_ are you doing this?
20052Oh,_ wo n''t_ you go?
20052Phil,_ Phil_, are n''t you coming to bed? 20052 See here, what''s the matter with Felix?"
20052Shall I give your love?
20052Shall I tell her first?
20052Shall we go separately?
20052So that''s what you''re up to, is it?
20052Still here, Jack? 20052 Sure you feel all right, Master Felix?"
20052Talking about conceit,--where do you put yourself?
20052Tell me honestly, Jack,he said,"do you think that Phil cares as much for me as he used to,--I mean before that fellow Chad came?"
20052Tell us, what_ did_ he do, Jack?
20052Then where did the enjoyment come in?
20052They feel just as badly as I do about you, but we thought''twas best for one to speak for the three; and I being the eldest,--you understand?
20052Turn over,he said;"I want to talk to you,--d''you hear me?"
20052Well, he''s years older than they, is n''t he?
20052Well,he said breathlessly, taking a seat on the edge of the big table,"well, everything went off all right; quite a success, was n''t it?
20052Well? 20052 Wha-- what''s wrong?"
20052What are the stakes?
20052What are_ you_ doing down here?
20052What does the doctor say about him?
20052What has Mr. Erveng to do with my book?
20052What have you done?
20052What''d he do?
20052What''ll we do to- morrow evening?
20052What''re you staring at, I''d like to know?
20052What''s the matter?
20052What''s the_ matter_ with you?
20052What''ve I done?
20052Who do you think has been here to- day?
20052Who is taking my name in vain?
20052Who''s going to take care of father?
20052Who''s with you?
20052Who, me? 20052 Why did n''t you let me know sooner?
20052Why did n''t you say right out that you thought my dressing up and coming over to your house that way was very queer and unladylike?
20052Why do n''t you run away to the house?
20052Why do you want this-- why do you want me to live?
20052Why, are n''t you going to school-- I mean college?
20052Why, did n''t you hear him say last evening that he was going out of town for two or three days?
20052Why, do n''t you remember I took you almost up to your room the other night?
20052Why, you''re not ill, are you?
20052Why, you''ve been doing that for a long time, have n''t you?
20052Will Nora make us go to bed right away?
20052Yes,Helen said, with a smile,"he is quite unlike any of the boys we know; who_ does_ he look like, Nora?
20052Yes; but wo n''t it take an awfully long time at that rate to save enough to send Fee?
20052You here?
20052You look as sober as a judge; did n''t you enjoy yourself this evening?
20052You mean to say you enjoyed sitting on that lounge and seeing Miss Devereaux snub that unfortunate little woman in the hideous bonnet?
20052You think that''s very smart, do n''t you?
20052_ Glad?_echoed Fee,"_ glad?_ why, I''m--"His voice failed, and turning hurriedly from us, he buried his face in the sofa cushions.
20052_ Glad?_echoed Fee,"_ glad?_ why, I''m--"His voice failed, and turning hurriedly from us, he buried his face in the sofa cushions.
20052_ Poetry!_--d''ye mind that, Mr. Wegge? 20052 _ What_ did he do?"
20052_ Why?_ Because we love you!
20052All right?"
20052And I''ve come to ask you, for Phil, Felix, and myself, to let the hateful old book go, and just get well and strong again; will you?"
20052And Phil kept saying,"Oh, Jack, he''ll soon be better,--don''t you think so?
20052And even if it were so you could get to her, what do you suppose Nannie''d say when she found you had all_ run away from home_?"
20052And he said,''A- a- h, what d''you take me for?
20052And what excuse do you propose to offer Mr. Erveng when he makes his appearance here, as he will in a few minutes?"
20052And while this thought was going through my brain, I heard myself say,"Did you tell your mother what I said to you?"
20052And yet we were all_ very_,_ very_ glad and happy; queer, was n''t it?
20052And yet-- a week more of nights to come home as he did last night, and the night before that--_ought_ I to let that go on?
20052Are you coming or not, Felix?"
20052Are you hurt?
20052Are you ready?"
20052Are you, Fee?
20052Are you, like Nora, hankering after the unattainable in the shape of daily receptions?"
20052Before I had time to ring the bell, Nora opened the front door; she looked very much excited, and asked breathlessly,"Did you meet them?
20052Betty and Jack,_ are_ you going to bed, or not?
20052But Felix only said,"How''s father?
20052But he shook my hand again two or three times, saying impatiently,"Why do n''t you promise?
20052But who_ could_ she be,--this double of mine?
20052Ca n''t you find something for them to do, Nora?
20052Can you carry him up?
20052Come to notice, you do look rather white about the gills; do you feel ill, old fellow?"
20052Coming over later in the evening to the corner of the room where Helen, Fee, Jack and I were, she said to Helen,"Is n''t he nice?
20052D''you s''pose I knew''twas_ your_ brother?''
20052Dear mamma used to say that everybody had to have some responsibility or other; why not begin to take up yours now?
20052Did you see the expression of his face as he looked around our shabby old schoolroom, and took in the simple birthday refreshments?
20052Did you see the way he offered me his arm to the piano?
20052Do you suppose they are crazy?"
20052Dr. Archard was away, out of town, the sleepy boy who answered the bell told me; but Dr. Gordon, his assistant, was in,--would he do?
20052Erveng?"
20052Esmeralda Dorothea?
20052HAVE YOU HURT YOURSELF?''"]
20052Had I better just let things drift along as they are until we get in the country, and then speak to him?
20052Have you seen them?"
20052He asked, in a tone as if he meant it,"May n''t I bring you a cup of tea?"
20052Hilliard did not come in with us, and when Mr. Erveng found that neither Phil nor I would answer Hannah''s"Please, what name shall I say?"
20052I asked,"or shall I call"--I was going to say"Nannie or Phil,"but remembered they were helping papa, and ended up with"somebody?"
20052I flashed out scornfully,"are you_ afraid_ of a thunder storm?"
20052I hope you''re not hurt?"
20052I sat on the steps listening, and what d''you think?
20052I tell you what, Betty, I''m going to try to be a very,_ very_ good boy; now are n''t you glad for me?"
20052I was afraid there''d be a fuss, so I sung out quickly,"Why do n''t_ you_ do it, Betty?
20052I wondered if Hilliard had told his mother what I said; and what she thought of me?
20052I''m going to save it up until I get a lot, and then,--what d''you think?
20052I''ve always been a poor useless creature,--and now,_ now_, of what good am I in the world?
20052I?"
20052In a minute I was by his side, exclaiming,"Why, what''s the matter, Fee?"
20052Indeed I_ was_ glad, and I told him so; and then what do you think he said?
20052Is n''t it strange?
20052Is n''t that a splendid scheme?
20052It is n''t honourable to do those things,--don''t you know that?
20052It seems as if I were an awful cry- baby those days; but how could a person help it, with such dreadful things happening?
20052It was on the tip of my tongue to answer sharply,"I_ have_ fallen into the water; did you expect me to be dry?"
20052Just poke that history under my head, will you, Jack?
20052Kathie saw the likeness, too, for she pulled my elbow and whispered:"Oh, Jack, does n''t she look like Punch?
20052Like a flash, Nannie was beside me on the floor, crying,"Oh,_ Fee!_ are you hurt?"
20052May I count on your being kind to him?"
20052Mr. Erveng said, appearing in the doorway behind us;"will you young people come in and have some breakfast?"
20052My dear, is it your back again?"
20052Nannie is miles and_ miles_ away from here by the cars, and how''re children like you ever going to get to her without money or anything?
20052Now I''m sure you want to resume looking over that''Abbé Marité;''is n''t it quaint?
20052Of course-- for old times''sake-- I looked her up and called,--handsome house, is n''t it?
20052Oh, Felix, is n''t it_ splendid_?"
20052Oh, may n''t I?"
20052Oh, where_ am_ I to go?"
20052Oh, why, then, did He not give me a body to match?
20052Perhaps some of you would come over and see her?
20052Say, who''s_ she_?"
20052See?
20052See?"
20052Shall I run after him and_ make_ him come back?"
20052Shall we make the selection?
20052She said:"What''s wrong, Miss Elizabeth?"
20052She was so sorry to hear that I was not well; was there nothing that she could do for me?
20052So when I said,"Well, Jack, how''d you get along this morning?"
20052Stop your noise this minute,--do you hear me?"
20052That was the reason I wanted to go back to Chad''s that night,--was it_ only_ last night?
20052The boys do n''t know I''ve come,--I thought I''d surprise them; and so I will, with the good news: you''ll promise, wo n''t you, papa?"
20052The policemen may turn you out, and where will you all go_ then_?
20052Then all at once I thought of that day I found Felix lying on the floor,--could this be an attack like that, only worse?
20052Then he added abruptly,"_ Why_ did I do it?
20052Then he added to himself,"I wonder if any one else in the world has such children as I have?"
20052Then in the other hymn, where it says,"Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless?
20052Then presently, after Phil''d gone, he said:"Would you mind taking a seat over there in the window, Jack?
20052Then, without waiting for an answer, he sat down on the edge of the bed, and went on, in an excited tone of voice,"Did you hear about the_ pater_?
20052Well, let him; who cares?
20052What are_ you_ doing here, in that outrageous costume, and in a stranger''s house?
20052What can I do for you?"
20052What d''you mean by behaving like this?"
20052What d''you mean?"
20052What do you think, Nannie?"
20052What is the title of this''remarkable work''?"
20052What possessed you?
20052What shall we do to celebrate the occasion?
20052What would_ she_ say to do?"
20052What''d your pa say to such doin''s, an''Miss Marston?
20052What''re you blushing for?"
20052What''s the matter?"
20052What''s up?"
20052What''s up?"
20052Whatever made you do it?
20052Who else is to be a victim, Nancy?"
20052Who is it to be,--Phil?"
20052Why did n''t they ask_ you_?"
20052Why do n''t you do it, old fellow?"
20052Why do n''t you send Betty a few lines, Jack?
20052Why do n''t you speak to them, Nannie?"
20052Why so silent, most noble Felix?"
20052Why, what are you doing?"
20052Will you be kind enough to state your business as briefly as possible?"
20052Will you, Jackie- boy?"
20052Will you, dearie?"
20052Will you?
20052Without even a"how d''you do?"
20052Wo n''t you?
20052Would she send me home?
20052You do n''t feel any worse for our talk,--do you, father?"
20052You know nothing about cards; why do n''t you look on?"
20052You know this park''s all very well for the day- time; but when night comes, and it gets dark, what''ll you do?
20052You see,"he went on eagerly,"I''ve been praying for a way for Fee to go,--you have, too, have n''t you?
20052[ Illustration:"''FEE, DEAR,''SHE SAID IN AN UNDERTONE,''DON''T YOU FEEL WELL?
20052[ Illustration:"''OH,_ FEE!_ DID YOU FALL?
20052[ Illustration:"''WHY, YOU''VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR A LONG TIME, HAVEN''T YOU?''
20052_ I_ thought he was rather a nice sort of fellow; what''s the matter, Betty, want any assistance?"
20052_ did_ you?"
20052_ do n''t_ you, Jack?
20052and what''ll they do to us?"
20052are n''t you glad?
20052are you, Fee?"
20052burn_ what_?"
20052cried Nora, wheeling round on me,"and Jack?
20052do you know why, Jack?
20052dost thou see them On the holy ground, How the powers of darkness Rage thy steps around?
20052exclaimed Phil, suddenly,"I say,--come to think of it,--how d''you suppose the_ Blackwoods_ enjoyed the orgy?"
20052have you hurt yourself?"
20052he exclaimed breathlessly,"what''s the matter?
20052he exclaimed in astonishment;"_ two_ here?
20052he gasped,"do you_ honestly_ think so?
20052how do you do, my dear?"
20052how is Fee?"
20052in bed?
20052is_ that_ so?"
20052now is n''t it?
20052nurse will be there in a minute,"adding impatiently to me:"What are you gaping at?
20052really quite well?"
20052really?"
20052she asked anxiously;"before we get any dinner?"
20052she exclaimed in astonishment,--adding, in a lower tone,"What''re you laughing at?"
20052so polite, and different from the generality of boys,--don''t you think so?"
20052we heard her say; then,"Have we time, Sanders?
20052what''s happened to you,--crazy?"
20052what_ have_ them boys been doin''?"
20052what_ is_ the matter?"
20052why''d you stop crying?
20052will you?"
20052you here?"
39567''Imperious little lady,''and''poor forlorn little things;''what do you mean, Walter?
395679 Avenue Gérard,he said;"how can that be?
39567A little; are you?
39567And Roger too?
39567And are you sure the little boy is not hurt?
39567And ca n''t everybody in France talk English too?
39567And could Miss Susan get here to- day, do you think?
39567And find that their father had just started for Paris?
39567And have you no Papa, no little brothers, not any one like that?
39567And if he''s not there-- if you ca n''t find him-- what will you do then?
39567And if there is?
39567And let poor Phillip, that''s Mr. Marton,replied the young lady,"go all the way to India alone?"
39567And what are you thinking of doing, then? 39567 And what is the escort you have heard of?"
39567And when Papa comes, we''ll take him to see all these beautiful places, wo n''t we?
39567And when does he want them?
39567And who''d be the giant?
39567And will you write, or telegraph-- which is it?
39567And you wo n''t give us to the police?
39567Anyway,said Gladys, a few weeks after their arrival at Nice,"he_ could n''t_ be nicer, could he, Roger?"
39567Are n''t you tired, Auntie?
39567Are they_ gone_, and Léonie, that nice nurse-- are they_ gone_?
39567Are you crying, Gladdie?
39567Are you frightened of crossing?
39567Are you hungry?
39567Are you much troubled with mice?
39567Aunt, what is the matter?
39567Avenue Gérard,repeated the lady;"is that where you want to go?
39567But ca n''t you tell us just a_ very_ little? 39567 But can they take them?
39567But the friends who were to have a nurse ready for the children? 39567 But the kettle of fish?"
39567But the luggage?
39567But there are such lots of things to buy, are n''t there? 39567 But would they like to be troubled with children?"
39567But, Walter, what is the meaning of it all? 39567 But,"continued Roger,"what will you do if they''re_ out_, Gladdie?"
39567Ca n''t we go to Papa and have our chocolate?
39567Can I do anything to help you? 39567 Can you speak French?"
39567Did Gladys mention Marseilles? 39567 Did you give them anything?
39567Do n''t you remember Mrs. Ffolliot''s page? 39567 Do you hear that, Roger?"
39567Do you know how she did?
39567Do you like him?
39567Do you mean, are you going to let us stay here?
39567Do you mean-- is it that you are sad about?--_has_ it come at last? 39567 Do you think I have no more sense than to bother all your customers with the history of any little beggars your mother chooses to take in?"
39567Do you think all poor childrens have as nice beds?
39567Do you think she''ll be kind to us?
39567Do you, Gladys?
39567Does she still live in that queer old town? 39567 Gladdie, are you awake?"
39567Gladdie, are you awake?
39567Gladdie,came from the corner,"may n''t I come?
39567Gladdie,he went on plaintively,"what will you do if those ladies are n''t kind to us?"
39567Gladdie,it said,"are we near that place?
39567Gladdie,resumed Roger half timidly-- Gladys knew what was coming--"may I get into your bed?"
39567Has the little boy fallen down?
39567Has you got a sore troat?
39567Have you found anything?
39567How can they be so bold?
39567How do you mean when we go home?
39567How now, my little dears?
39567I do n''t look very bad, do I?
39567I wonder if we shall see that nice gentleman again if we go up that big street?
39567I wonder what put those children in my head just now?
39567I wonder why I feel so strange,she thought,"just when we''re going to hear about going to Papa?
39567If Walter ca n''t find the father-- I suppose I should say if he is dead-- what is to be done?
39567If they''re out we''ll----"What?
39567Is all French peoples naughty?
39567Is it because they''re poor that the beds is so_ very_ little?
39567Is it not like our tongues then?
39567Is mine taken too?
39567Is n''t I silly? 39567 Is n''t it tea time?"
39567Is she not a dear child?
39567Is that Papa''s writing?
39567Is there no one here?
39567Is there some one in the shop?
39567Is this Paris?
39567It is much better for us to stay here, for Papa might come_ very_ soon, might n''t he? 39567 It is not far now, Roger, dear-- are you_ very_ tired?"
39567It''s not''cos Miss Susan''s going to be married, is it? 39567 It''s very dark; is it the middle of the night?"
39567Leetle-- leetle?
39567Mademoiselle,came in a loud whisper after the queer rapping had gone on for some time,"are you awake?
39567Mademoiselle-- Mademoiselle Gladees,it said,"why do you not come?
39567May n''t we get up?
39567May n''t we go up there?
39567Must I tell Gladys?
39567My little girl,he said kindly,"who are you?
39567Need I----?
39567No, my dear; what makes you think so?
39567Not like it?
39567Oh, Mr.''Dolph,she said,"how can you think we would be so naughty?
39567Oh, Phillip, would not that be better?
39567Roger,she exclaimed when she turned round and saw him established on Madame Nestor''s motherly lap;"what are you thinking of?
39567See, dears, can you read what your Papa says?
39567Shall I call Monsieur Adolphe? 39567 Shall I go to the door and ring it again?"
39567Shall I go, Madame?
39567Shall I telegraph in the morning to this Miss Susan, or will you write?
39567She did not see that they were English-- her country- people?
39567Should they?
39567Should we not telegraph to her at once from here?
39567Stupid old thing,murmured Gladys,"why does n''t she understand?
39567Telegraph, aunt? 39567 That gentleman we met looked very kind, did n''t he?"
39567Then do you think I should write to Miss Susan to- day?
39567Then they did n''t look_ frightened_--the maid did not seem cross to them?
39567Then we''re the fish-- Roger and I-- I suppose, that you do n''t know what to do with?
39567Then what do you decide to do, Auntie?
39567They do n''t look very strong, do they, Phillip?
39567WELL, DEARS,SHE SAID,"AND WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT?"
39567WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
39567WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
39567Was he distressed at hearing of Mrs. Lacy''s death?
39567We do n''t look very nice, do we, Roger?
39567Well, aunt,she repeated, rather impatiently, but the impatience was partly caused by real anxiety;"wo n''t you say what you think of it?
39567Well, aunt?
39567Well, dears,she said,"and what are you playing at?"
39567What are we waiting here in this ugly house for?
39567What are you thinking about, Walter?
39567What can it be?
39567What did he bring her a halfpenny for? 39567 What do you say, Rosamond?"
39567What do you want-- whom are you looking for?
39567What does she say? 39567 What is it-- what is the matter, Gladdie?"
39567What is it?
39567What is the matter?
39567What shall I say? 39567 What will become of them when_ she_ comes back and poor Madame ill in bed, who can say?"
39567What would Miss Susan say?
39567What''s the little boy crying for?
39567What''s the matter?
39567What_ is_ to be done?
39567When are we to go?
39567Where are they, then? 39567 Where are you going, Gladdie?
39567Where else could you go, my dears?
39567Where would we go?
39567Where''s home?
39567Where''s the little basin we washed our faces and hands in yesterday, Roger?
39567Who are they, then?
39567Who can they be?
39567Who_ can_ they be?
39567Why did you not ask them who they were or where they came from, or something?
39567Why does n''t everybody talk properly here if some does?
39567Why does n''t she talk p''operly?
39567Why is she angry with us?
39567Will it?
39567Will you take it?
39567Would n''t he?
39567Would n''t you like to have a run, Roger?
39567Would she have put us in prison?
39567Yes, I know,said Mrs. Lacy,"but----""But what?"
39567Yes,said Roger, in his sober little voice,"I wish----""What?"
39567Yes; have you not seen them? 39567 You have n''t told them yet, have you, aunt?"
39567You have such very big appetites, do you think?
39567You not eat?
39567You remember the children on the Boulevards I told you about the other day? 39567 You''re not hurt, darling, are you?"
39567_ This_ tea is n''t too strong for him, is it, Gladys?
39567_ You''ll_ help me, wo n''t you?
39567_ You_ wo n''t give us to the police?
39567''Dolph?"
39567***** Is that all there is to tell about the"two little waifs?"
39567AND REASON?
39567And another one in a red silky dress, all trimmed with lace, and a white feather as long-- as long as----""Was it in that pretty big wide street?"
39567And are these the dear children?"
39567And have you slept well, my darlings?
39567And now I''ve got it I do n''t know what to do with it, for----""Has he not come?"
39567And the group round the table?
39567And you can eat yours beside me, ca n''t you, Gladdie?"
39567Are they Madame Nestor''s grandchildren?"
39567Are you, Gladdie?"
39567Are you_ sure_ Papa will be there?
39567Auntie----""What, dear?"
39567Besides who could tell whether, somehow or other, Miss Susan might not come to hear of it?
39567Besides, what else_ can_ we do?
39567Bless me, how can I tell?
39567But I do like when any one says we''ve been very good, do n''t you?"
39567But I think Papa''ll come soon; do n''t you?"
39567But have you stayed at home all your life, Ellen?
39567But how could they?
39567But how will Papa know us, Mrs. Lacy?
39567But is it true, can it be true that Papa has sent for us?"
39567But what could she do?
39567But why do you keep talking about poor children, Roger?"
39567But you do n''t know anything about that, do you?"
39567But"--and Gladys looked round hesitatingly--"isn''t anybody else going with us?
39567But"a kettle of fish,"what_ could_ that have to do with it all?
39567Ca n''t you come for me, Gladdie?"
39567Can they have lost their way?
39567Can you find me, Gladdie?"
39567Can you not try to find out what they would like, Adolphe?
39567Can you write to Wilfred at once?
39567Did Papa tumble over it?
39567Did they seem quite alone?"
39567Did you know?"
39567Did you see that little girl in green velvet with a sort of very soft fur, like shaded gray fluff, all round it?
39567Do they sell halfpennies in the shops here?"
39567Do you like chocolate?"
39567Does n''t she mind you going away from her?"
39567Does she know where it is?"
39567Find not good?"
39567Françoise, too, will be so busy-- you will do all you can to give no trouble, will you not?
39567Has Papa sent for us, Mrs. Lacy?
39567Have you never left your father and mother till you came here?"
39567How could there be?"
39567How was she to speak to them?
39567How_ can_ I explain?"
39567How_ can_ I make her understand?"
39567I ca n''t remember the name?"
39567I ca n''t remember?"
39567I must hasten, but what to do with these angels while I am in the kitchen?"
39567I really never did know anything so unfortunate, and----""Is it all because of the kettle of fish?
39567I was just going to say,''What would Miss Susan say?''
39567I wonder if it would be any good if I were to consult the manager of this hotel?
39567I wonder what colour will be prettiest for the curtains, Rosamond?"
39567I wonder where it can be?"
39567I''d like a toy- shop, Gladdie, would n''t you?"
39567I''d like to go a walk there every day, would n''t you?"
39567If we squeezed ourselves?"
39567Is Mrs. Nest ill?"
39567Is she the new nurse?"
39567Is that the window?"
39567Is that why you talk of running to the station?"
39567It''s so quick, only it costs a great deal, does n''t it?"
39567Lacy?"
39567Lacy?"
39567Lacy?"
39567Léonie has explained all to you?"
39567Might we--"she went on timidly,"do you think we might have a little bread and butter?"
39567My aunt-- she is really my cousin, but I call her aunt-- you know her by name, Madame?"
39567Nest?"
39567Nest?"
39567Nine-- I wonder which is nine?"
39567Not all the way to where he is?"
39567Not from your home?
39567Now, Roger, will you cut out that blue bird, and I''ll do these pinky flowers?
39567Oh, by the bye, did she see the children?"
39567Oh, do you think,"he went on, his ideas following the next link in the chain,"_ do_ you think we can take Snowball with us when we go?"
39567Omnibus, does he say?
39567Only, supposing he came this afternoon he would n''t know where we were?"
39567RHYME?
39567Roger----""What?"
39567So I was thinking----""What, my boy?"
39567Supposing we all go down there for a couple of months or so, to escape the cold?
39567Then afterwards we can paste them as if the bird was flying out of the flowers; wo n''t that be pretty?"
39567This is the ship, you see, and that''s the big stick in the middle that all ships have-- what is it they call it?
39567Unless you''d rather get up first?"
39567Was it not a good idea?
39567We wo n''t mind, will we, Roger?"
39567What are you going to do?
39567What could any little girl of seven years old have done in such a case?
39567What do you stop for, Gladdie?"
39567What does Papa say?
39567What is it they call a pole in the middle of a ship?
39567What time do we get there, Léonie?"
39567What were the unheard words they were saying?
39567What were you going to say, dear?"
39567What would do for a sword?"
39567What_ was_ she going to do?
39567Where are we to go to?
39567Where can they have gone, the poor little angels?"
39567Where have you run away from?
39567Who is it you want?"
39567Whom do you know there?"
39567Why do you cry about it now-- you did n''t cry yesterday?"
39567Why has he not come himself?"
39567Will the ladies come soon?"
39567Will they be kind to us, do you think, those friends of Léonie''s?"
39567Will you, Gladdie?"
39567Wo n''t that be fun?"
39567Wo n''t that be nice?
39567Would n''t Mr. Marton let you stay at Paris with us till you''d had a rest?"
39567Would not preserves please them?
39567Yes,"what was to be done?"
39567You are alone-- have you perhaps lost your way?"
39567You did n''t suppose you were going as cabin- boy, did you?"
39567You have n''t been out, I suppose?"
39567You have not been long here, I suppose-- you do n''t understand French?"
39567You quite understand, aunt?"
39567You who speak English?"
39567You will like that-- a nice promenade, will you not?"
39567You''re the English gentleman, are n''t you?
39567[ Illustration: Book Cover] TWO LITTLE WAIFS[ Illustration:"Well, dears,"she said,"and what are you playing at?"
39567_ I_ think we shall be very happy when Miss Susan''s married, only p''raps it would n''t be very polite to say so to her, would it?"
39567_ Where_ can we leave them?"
39567_ could_ anything have happened better than the Murrays''escort?
39567and are you hungry?"
39567and_ do_ you think we should have new ulsters?"
39567asked Mrs. Lacy timidly, for these sudden arrangements had confused her--"at once, then?"
39567she exclaimed;"not crying, surely?
39567she said;"I mean till to- morrow, perhaps, till Miss Susan can come?"
39567she suddenly broke off,"wo n''t we have to be getting our things ready?
39567what''s the matter?
39567what''s the matter?"
39567with an anxious glance of her bright brown eyes;"_ is n''t_ it high, the-- the mart?"
43170Alack, why could n''t the master keep me on as a prentice?
43170Already? 43170 And Hugh a brave prentice, what thinkest thou of that, goodwife?"
43170And hast thou friends in Gascony, too, Dick- o''-the- Hill?
43170And how came you idle?
43170And how fell it out?
43170And is that thy beast?
43170And may be thy son in good earnest?
43170And so thy father is sick to death in there?
43170And that would content thee?
43170And the queen was fair, goodman?
43170And thou hast seen and spoken with him? 43170 And thou thinkest I might catch the trick of it?"
43170And thou wouldst sooner chip stones than be in my household? 43170 And thou, too?"
43170And what brought thy father here?
43170And what knowest thou of King Edward?
43170And what part wilt thou choose for thy share?
43170And when does the king ask for aid except in case of need? 43170 And where,"inquired the Franciscan,"where dost thou purpose going when the fair is ended?"
43170And which is that?
43170And which shalt thou choose?
43170And who has given you burgesses to speak for you, ay, and passed laws putting the ay and the nay into your own hands?
43170And without a mother, who will mend thy clothes? 43170 And you would throw away his advancement for a dream?"
43170And''twas there you learnt the French?
43170And,continued Matthew, unheeding,"thou wottest that the licence to all foreigners expires to- day, and that they must leave the fair?
43170Art thou hurt, my Moll, and where?
43170Art thou the new boy? 43170 Ay, didst thou so?
43170Ay,said Gervase, hesitatingly,"and thou wilt follow his craft?"
43170Ay? 43170 Ay?"
43170But you think he knows?
43170Come to the great Stourbridge fair with thy father and mother?
43170Couldst not carve a Saint Margaret as well as a Saint Cecilia? 43170 Didst see his posy?"
43170Didst thou so, my popinjay? 43170 Do they want him?"
43170Does the knight come here then to see me?
43170Doth he bite?
43170Edgar, dost thou hear?
43170Father, father,cried Joan, running in,"mother bids me ask whether thou hast told Nicholas Harding to come and help her with the tables?
43170Father,said the boy, sitting up and rubbing his eyes,"are we safe?"
43170Father?
43170For Roger?
43170Friar Luke, tell me truly, do you still dread for me this journey to Exeter?
43170Goodman, where shall I be most likely to find Master Hamlyn?
43170Goodman,said Hugh, hesitatingly,"hast thou heard aught of Roger?"
43170Goodwife, you understand it as I do? 43170 Hanging?"
43170Hath he not?
43170Hath he really stuck Spot up there?
43170Hath he set anyone on fire?
43170Hath it aught to do with thy spiritual condition?
43170Have you thought of his taking the habit?
43170Hearken, master,--to Bassett--"who is likely to buy such a beast?"
43170How long will he live, sir leech?
43170How now, my masters?
43170How then?
43170How was it?
43170How wilt thou catch him? 43170 How, master?"
43170How? 43170 Hugh Bassett,"said the bishop, pointing to the board,"is that thy work?"
43170Hugh, when will it be finished-- truly? 43170 I always heard he was an easy man, and so he suffers his apprentices to sleep in working hours?
43170I may get the block ready for you, sir?
43170I shall?
43170If he would be a stone- cutter?
43170If it goes on, we may get in to- morrow night?
43170If you stand in need of a witness,began Matthew, but the sailor interrupted him--"Witnesses?
43170In good sooth? 43170 Is anyone else drowned?"
43170Is aught the matter?
43170Is he hurt?
43170Is it a dream?
43170Is it new to thee?
43170Is it really then to be to- morrow?
43170Is that what makes him so thin?
43170Is that you, Dick Simpkins?
43170Is the child hurt?
43170Is the poor monkey at your house?
43170It is bad work?
43170It is the monkey, Friar Nicholas-- might he not bring it for madam, our mother, to see? 43170 Joan, hast thou heard where Roger''s is to be?"
43170Little, like me? 43170 May n''t I go?"
43170May we not be going back, sir?
43170Might I speak for him? 43170 Might he not have escaped?"
43170My Lord the King,he stammered,"is it not?"
43170Nay, but why?
43170Nay, father, but--"But what?
43170Nay, goodman, when did Roger ask thy counsel? 43170 Nay?"
43170Nor fear robbers?
43170Not I. I am going to try to shape something like Mistress Thomasin-- well, why dost thou laugh?
43170Not a demon? 43170 Not that traitor?"
43170Not? 43170 Now, Wat, what tool is that thou art using?"
43170Now, in good sooth, was ever anything so foolish as that he should have hidden himself as he hath done?
43170Now, is aught wanted?
43170One day,whispered his father,"Master Gervase will take thee as apprentice; thou wilt serve faithfully, my Hugh?"
43170Or thy worldly matters? 43170 Our Wolf?"
43170Perhaps also thou hast learnt to read?
43170Prithee, dost thou suppose I should leave thee here to drown? 43170 Prithee, goodwife, hast thou any place where thou canst bestow this safely?"
43170Prithee, how?
43170Reverend sir,he said,"who of all our guild would know best what I can or can not do?"
43170Roger?
43170Said I not so? 43170 Said I not, said I not,"--he began, and then,"no one can say aught against thy work now; but, Hugh--""Ay?"
43170Saw you ever the king, goodman?
43170Sayest thou so?
43170Sayest thou so?
43170Seest thou not the difference? 43170 Shall I get thee aught, father?"
43170Shall we come and see him?
43170So thou hast caught our words, and wilt bespeak the work thyself? 43170 The fatigue?"
43170The king called her a fair maiden, what thinkest thou of that, goodman?
43170Then, wherefore not? 43170 There is one thing thou hast all but forgotten,"said the friar;"the names of thy tormentors?
43170There, is that better? 43170 Think?
43170Thinkest thou so?
43170Thinkest? 43170 Thou art a pale- faced urchin,"he said good- humouredly;"have thy friends left thee behind and forgotten thee?"
43170Thou hast heard the relation of its keeping?
43170Thou thinkest so?
43170Thou thinkest well of thy Roger? 43170 Thou wilt take us to the fair, wilt thou not?"
43170Thou wilt? 43170 To whom canst thou complain with the goodman ill?
43170Two landsmen on board? 43170 Walter Bennet?"
43170Wat?
43170Well, why that doleful tone?
43170What evidence hast thou against Roger?
43170What for?
43170What harm could it bring thee, goody?
43170What has come to Wat?
43170What has come to thee, Wat? 43170 What has come to thee?
43170What has put that into thy head? 43170 What hast thou in thy mad head?
43170What is it?
43170What made thee take to the craft?
43170What makes the master take another prentice? 43170 What means this brawling?"
43170What need for that when the goodwife here could do it?
43170What news?
43170What now? 43170 What said he?
43170What said the knight to thee?
43170What think you, my lord, of the archbishop''s mandate?
43170What thinkest thou the good friar hit upon? 43170 What to represent?"
43170What will become of him when his father is dead?
43170What wilt thou do with thy monkey?
43170What, goodman?
43170What, is that the poor beast which those young villains would have stoned? 43170 What?"
43170When didst thou this?
43170When wilt thou learn that brains are better than fists? 43170 When, since the days of Alfred, has there been an English king like our King Edward?"
43170Where got ye the beast?
43170Where is Hugh Bassett?
43170Where is Hugh?
43170Where is the use? 43170 Where will he go?"
43170Where wilt thou live?
43170Where''s the churl that pushed her off? 43170 Where?
43170Where?
43170Wherefore?
43170Who could think of it then?
43170Who thou wilt fight?
43170Who was Edulf?
43170Who''s this?
43170Who? 43170 Why art thou in this dark corner by thyself?"
43170Why does n''t he like me?
43170Why dost thou not go and look for thy friend Hugh?
43170Why?
43170Why?
43170Will the judges say whether this design is the same as that carved by Roger Brewer?
43170Wilt thou come on a voyage to Dartmouth?
43170Wilt thou, Hugh?
43170With Master Gervase?
43170Wouldst thou then have another take the work? 43170 And Agrippa?
43170And Edgar-- where is Edgar?
43170And Gervase?
43170And Hugh?
43170And art not glad?"
43170And can he do tricks?
43170And carry out thy designs?
43170And did these fellows steal thy monkey?"
43170And hast thou,"he added more cheerily,"hast thou forgotten the corbels thou hast to do for the bishop?"
43170And he works fast, and will get the advantage of me, because the master will not spare me while he is so ill. Out on him, what can I do?"
43170And how came it broken?"
43170And so nothing will serve thee but hard blows?
43170And so thou wouldst be a soldier?"
43170And what said he?"
43170And what sort of carving was this rebellion of thine?"
43170And what will Mistress Thomasin say of thy caring to see a man pilloried?"
43170And wherefore?"
43170And who are the little varlets?
43170And whom have we here?"
43170And, Hugh, thou hast heard thy mother speak of Exeter?
43170And-- but I warrant me thou wilt say, ay-- is thy father a good craftsman?"
43170Any of thy relations?
43170Are we nearly at our journey''s end, Hugh?
43170Are you well?
43170Art thou coming out on Refreshment Sunday?"
43170Art thou not hurt?"
43170Ay?
43170But first, before I hand thee over to Joan, who doth not yet feel she hath had her share, first tell me which corbel thou wilt choose?
43170But for Hugh?
43170But how did he fasten on you?"
43170But now, see here, if I fasten a rope round the mast-- which will hold yet awhile-- and go ashore with the other end, canst thou find thy way?"
43170But what good can he do thee?"
43170But why did they not fight with thee at the time?"
43170But, tell me, master, is it true, as thy boy relates, that you met King Edward yesterday and spoke with him?"
43170Canst thou give a guess who that might be?"
43170Come, now, Joan, what sayest thou to thy birthday-- Candlemas Day?"
43170Could he disappoint him?
43170Didst never see his like?
43170Didst thou not know it?
43170Does not that content thee?"
43170Dost thou think King Edward takes little varlets of eleven years old to make his army?
43170Dost thou think they have?"
43170Doth anything there weigh on thee?
43170Doth he like spice- bread or figs?
43170Fled-- but where to flee?
43170Goodman, were that not a pity?
43170Has he a choice bit of his work that I can take back to my lady?
43170Hast lost thy tongue?"
43170Hast stuck it where he must needs see?"
43170Hast thou answer to make, Roger Brewer?"
43170Hast thou asked?"
43170Hast thou learnt aught of the trick of it?"
43170Hast thou looked at Roger''s corbel?"
43170Hast thou seen his work?"
43170Hast thou thought it out?"
43170Have you friends in this fair town?"
43170He hath a Joan of his own, what thinkest thou of that?"
43170Heardest thou ever such injustice?
43170How could he put up with our rough fare?"
43170How couldst thou be such an oaf?"
43170How far have you come?"
43170How goes it with him?
43170How is Moll?"
43170How knowest thou?
43170How like you your apples, my master?"
43170How long have you been here?
43170How now, Hugh, what work have they set thee to?"
43170How old art thou now, Hugh?"
43170How should he not know?
43170Hugh crept closer to his father, and at last put his question--"Shall we be drowned?"
43170Hugh, this on which I have set my heart-- is it to be snatched from me?
43170Hugh?--what sayest thou should be done to him?"
43170I have had a wish many a time to know how thou fared, and Friar Luke-- we are good friends, what thinkest thou of that?
43170I have never failed before, how can I fail now?
43170I wonder why Wat likes Thomasin so much?
43170If I listened to the good brothers I should deem it perfect; but when Matthew says,` Hum-- I know not-- is there not something lacking?''
43170If-- if he could be thy apprentice?"
43170Is it not so, holy friar?"
43170Is it not the very place for a richly carved_ surs_( corbel)?"
43170Is it your pleasure, Master Gervase, that I treat him differently from any other prentice?"
43170Is n''t he beautiful?"
43170Is that truly all thine own design?"
43170Is that what thou desirest?"
43170Is the pain great?"
43170Is the subject quite decided?"
43170It was only the beginning; nothing was there which might not be set right, but what if indeed his skill was failing?
43170Joan, will one ever be satisfied?"
43170Knowest thou aught of him, holy father?"
43170Learn with all thy might, and, who knows, some day thy carving may help to decorate this our Church of St Peter''s?"
43170Learnt you that in Flanders?"
43170Master John, at what time came you back?"
43170Maybe thou hast a thought of finding a son thyself and more quickly?"
43170Maybe, sir, he might do better if he had another chance?"
43170Meanwhile, Eleanor could whisper to Hugh--"Hath Agrippa eaten all the nuts?
43170My hearing is not so sharp as it was-- thy prentice?
43170Nay, again!--Wat?--who remains, goodman?
43170Not here?
43170Now there is that man of thine, Wat-- he,"Hamlyn paused,"he is a likely fellow?"
43170Now where''s thy work?
43170Now, art ready for our game at chess?"
43170Now, first, is there something thou wouldst say?"
43170Now, where are we bound?
43170Only--""What?"
43170Part with Agrippa, his one friend?
43170Perchance if I squinted?"
43170SWORD OR CHISEL?
43170Shake hands-- what, are thy hands so burned?
43170Shall we take the boy back to thy father''s lodgings, Edgar, and persuade Mistress Judith to bestow some of her fair mending upon his garments?"
43170Surely it was so?"
43170The Grey Friars?
43170The bishop and I are strong enough to carry the matter; beshrew me, am I not the one to judge who is the best workman?"
43170Then as Hugh muttered something,"What, I am not to know?
43170Then, as Hugh came rushing up with an eager"What is it?"
43170They have the beast, but where?"
43170Thinkest thou that seeing thee set to do the rough labour will dispose them to choose thee for the better?
43170Thou and I may never see the fruit of our labours-- what of that?
43170Thou rememberest the day the master was taken?"
43170Thou wouldst fain be back in the drones''hive hearkening to book and bell, eh?"
43170Thou, a new warden, wouldst not pay less than Richard Allen of the Tuckers?"
43170Thou-- what is thy name-- Hugo?
43170Thy child?
43170Thy father?
43170Thy guild?"
43170Thy wife?
43170To the Cathedral?"
43170WILL ROGER SUCCEED?
43170Was all this hope to end?
43170Was it all to end in an unknown grave under the grey waters which leaped so wildly round their prey?
43170Was not that really what he had said, and was it not strange that she should repeat it?
43170Wat pondered long upon this, and at last, coming home with Hugh one evening, he asked--"The design which Roger filched, is it yet in thy head?"
43170Well?"
43170Wet to the skin, hungry, miserable, before he had got six miles on his way, what could he do?
43170What age, think you, might Mistress Thomasin be?"
43170What do I look like now?"
43170What dost thou say?
43170What doth he work at?"
43170What had brought such a force of rascaille upon thee?"
43170What is his name?"
43170What is she doing?"
43170What is thy name?"
43170What know we of the awful regions that they might light upon, or whether the vessels might not be carried too close to the edge of the world?
43170What next?
43170What said he?"
43170What say you now?"
43170What thinkest thou of him?"
43170What was thy mother''s name?"
43170What was thy promise, boy?"
43170What will the king say?"
43170What will they be like, I wonder?
43170What''s this?"
43170What, the same as Hugh?"
43170When does he sail?"
43170When may we come again and see him?
43170Where are the proofs?"
43170Where art thou going?
43170Where could we stow ye?
43170Where do you think it will be placed?
43170Where go you after the fair?"
43170Where have I come from?
43170Where is Warden Hamlyn?"
43170Where should he go?
43170Where''s Wat?
43170Where?"
43170Which wilt thou go to see, Hugh?"
43170Who else?
43170Who was mad yesterday at having to play Master Sobersides?"
43170Why does n''t thou get up?"
43170Why, thou silly lad, disappointed?
43170Will a groat buy the knowledge?
43170Will the boat hold?"
43170Will you be back before curfew?"
43170William Franklyn, thy head man?"
43170Wilt come into the yard?
43170Wilt come?"
43170Wilt thou spare him to us?
43170Would they hearken?
43170he cried in delight,"where have you come from?
43170said Bassett, unable himself to avoid a smile,"what coil have you got into?"
43170what wouldst thou give, Hugh, to be a knight all in shining armour, and to slay the Dragon?"
29693About what hour do you think it was when they left?
29693Ahem, Miss Nellie, when we go back home, will you promise me to say nothing about this part of your lesson?
29693And did n''t you find it again?
29693And how far do you suppose_ they_ are?
29693And that was the end of your troubles with the Indians?
29693And that?
29693And they are as likely to meet them as we?
29693And they went all that distance ahead of you with their animals?
29693And this one?
29693And what am_ I_ to do?
29693And what did you learn?
29693And what will become of Cap?
29693And when you find that out, what next?
29693And why did n''t you?
29693And why?
29693And why?
29693And wo n''t_ we_ remember it?
29693And you believe he purposely misled us?
29693And you have started for Sacramento with the purpose of making her your wife?
29693And you, Ruggles?
29693And, Nellie, you agreed to this?
29693Are you all ready?
29693Are you ready, pards? 29693 Buried in Southern Virginia as a memento of my work for the Union, but, my dear child,_ I_ am here; is n''t_ that_ enough?"
29693But how shall we know he''s going to say''em?
29693But how was it you suspected our errand?
29693But may not all this be hers and yours if the flower is transplanted from the wilderness into a more congenial soil? 29693 But none would harm_ me_,"was the wondering reply of the miss;"are not all of my own race my friends?"
29693But was neither you or the lieutenant harmed?
29693But what was in the letter to make him act so queer?
29693But where are_ our_ rights?
29693But why did n''t you look fur her to larn whether she was in sight or was liable to hear your shocking words?
29693But why did you not write to me and tell me all this? 29693 But will it not discommode you?"
29693But you and I have made mistakes--"Nothing like this; why did she not ask me? 29693 Can it be we are off the track?
29693Can you make out the members of the party?
29693Can you stand on your head?
29693Could you tell the color of his eyes?
29693Did n''t they see you?
29693Did n''t you refer to the diggings?
29693Did the little one hear him?
29693Did you ever hear of Corporal Bob Parker of the---- Missouri?
29693Did you hurt yourself, Mr. Bidwell? 29693 Did you kill him?"
29693Did you overhear anything said by them?
29693Do n''t you know me, captain?
29693Do you hear that, boys? 29693 Do you intend to spend all your life in this out of the way corner of the world?"
29693Do you know our business, Vose?
29693Do you know the meaning of this?
29693Do you know,he said,"that some one is following us?
29693Do you live all alone?
29693Do you mean a pussy?
29693Do you notice that tall thin man at the rear?
29693Do you propose to let him off?
29693Do you refer to the Indian?
29693Do you see her?
29693Do you think so?
29693Do you''spose that is the first time I ever met a mountain Injin?
29693Does that spell''pussy''too?
29693Does your head hurt you?
29693Father, my own father, are you not glad to see your Nellie?
29693Father, what is_ that_?
29693Formerly captain of the Iowa---- cavalry?
29693Have n''t you got any little girl like me?
29693Have you any idea of the distance they went?
29693Have you any signal which your animal understands?
29693Have you been to his shanty?
29693Have you seen anything of Nellie?
29693Helloa, Vose, what''s the matter?
29693How about_ you_?
29693How can you be so positive?
29693How can you know that?
29693How could I help it? 29693 How do the others manage it?"
29693How do you explain the change, Wade?
29693How do you figure that out?
29693How do you know that?
29693How far?
29693How far?
29693How is that?
29693How long?
29693How near did you come to hitting him?
29693How shall we prevent it?
29693How should I know? 29693 How was it that Hoe met his death?"
29693How wide is the path?
29693How''s that?
29693How''s that?
29693How? 29693 How?"
29693How?
29693How?
29693How?
29693How?
29693Howdy, pards?
29693I agree with you agin, but what shall we do if we find him making love to the little gal?
29693I do n''t know what to advise,he finally said;"but do n''t you think, if she could go to the captain and let him see how she feels, he will give in?
29693I do n''t know; what is it?
29693I had obsarved that fact myself; strangers, I''ve made up my mind to buy them critters; what''s your price?
29693I have a suspicion of it, but are you afraid to trust me?
29693I like you ever so much, but you are crying,she said sympathetically;"what makes you do that?
29693I must pray for_ all_ of them, musn''t I?
29693I say, Vose, is n''t it better that we should wait till our horses can see the way?
29693I say, parson, was n''t that a rather cheeky performance of yours, when you made them man and wife?
29693I suppose it is all right; but how is it possible for a man to make such a consummate ass of himself?
29693I suppose you have plenty of covering for her?
29693I thought it was you, Vose,said the captain, sharply;"what do you mean by following us?"
29693I''m in too deep water when you get to figgerin''that way, but there seems to be reason in what you say, but what about Ruggles and the parson?
29693I''m so sorry; be you hurt?
29693If they make fools of themselves and upset all my plans, what can I do to help''em? 29693 In what respect?"
29693In what way?
29693In what way?
29693Indeed I would; will you be my little girl?
29693Is it possible that they have no suspicion of us?
29693Is n''t there likelihood that Colonel Briggs will divert them?
29693Is there anyone here disposed to dispute this statement?
29693It has a lofty sound,blandly remarked Isham;"will the chairman be good enough to translate it for us?
29693It is not for me to give counsel to my captain, but is it not a fact that selfishness grows upon us with advancing years?
29693Let''s see,growled Wade Ruggles,"Constantinople is in Ireland is n''t it?"
29693Lieutenant Frederic Russell, do you love Nellie Dawson?
29693M."Now say them quickly,''d- a- m;''what is the word?
29693May I touch her?
29693Mr. Brush,she finally said,"do you know why I love you?"
29693Mr. Isham,said the gentleman, severely,"are you aware that you are using improper language in the presence of this young lady?"
29693My idee is that whoever offends this little one by unproper language shall be filled full of bullet holes: how does_ that_ strike you?
29693Nellie, do you want a little advice from me?
29693No; what''s the matter?
29693Now, boys, are your shooting irons ready?
29693O, Mr. Brush, are we really married?
29693Of course; now can you say the letters without looking at them?
29693On your way to the diggings I presume?
29693Poor fellow,she said sympathetically;"you can not go any further; what shall be done, Fred?"
29693Shall we tell them?
29693Suppose it_ was_ certain, Wade?
29693That is due to the trouble with Indians?
29693That is right; now this one?
29693That''s the spot,he said,"but what good can it do us?
29693Then she will come in the morning?
29693Then why do n''t you foller him?
29693Then you expect her to remain here, sharing in all the vicissitudes of the place? 29693 Then you favor going ahead?"
29693There are six on each side; that evens matters; shall you start the music or do you prefer to have the captain fire the opening gun?
29693There was no one with them of course?
29693There''s something down there,remarked the captain slipping from his saddle;"Wade, you are the nearest, can you see anything?"
29693Vose, what do you mean to do?
29693Wal,''spose I shoot you and the leftenant and the captain and the rest? 29693 Was there anything in their actions to show they intended to take a longer ride than usual?"
29693We may as well have a look,remarked the captain;"what do you think, Vose?"
29693Well, Nellie, are n''t you glad to see me?
29693Well, what is to be done?
29693What about those who are with him?
29693What are you going to do with that horse in front of you?
29693What are you talkin''''bout, parson?
29693What became of her?
29693What difference does the spot make?
29693What do you mean to do?
29693What do you mean?
29693What do you think of his long absence yesterday?
29693What does all this mean, Brush?
29693What does it seem to be?
29693What else can it be?
29693What else could they do?
29693What has the prisoner to say fur himself?
29693What have I said that warrants that question?
29693What have I to tell, but my everlasting woe and shame? 29693 What have you there?"
29693What in the name of heaven, parson, does she mean?
29693What is it to spell?
29693What is it?
29693What is it?
29693What is its nature?
29693What is that?
29693What is that?
29693What is your pleasure, gentlemen?
29693What knowledge have we that they have not maintained such a lookout and discovered us as soon as we noticed the camp fire itself? 29693 What passed between you and them?"
29693What pays?
29693What right have you to get in front of me? 29693 What route did you take, captain?"
29693What the mischief are you driving at?
29693What was it anyway?
29693What was that?
29693What will happen to him?
29693What would papa do and those other folks? 29693 What''ll the boys say?
29693What''s that fur?
29693What''s that?
29693What''s that?
29693What''s that?
29693What''s that?
29693What''s the matter with it?
29693What''s the matter with them? 29693 What''s the matter?"
29693What''s the meaning of all this? 29693 What''s up, pards?"
29693What''s your name?
29693When did he learn it?
29693When did my punishment begin?
29693When do you imagine they set out?
29693When violators of the law hear that name, what does it say to them? 29693 When was it they left?"
29693Where are their ponies?
29693Where are you going?
29693Where''s your eddycation?
29693Which of you gentlemen will promise to weaken if we keep this thing up for half the night?
29693Which way, pards?
29693Who lives in dere?
29693Whom have you with you?
29693Whose is it?
29693Why did n''t you awake me afore? 29693 Why did n''t you come back at once?"
29693Why did n''t you do it?
29693Why did n''t you wait till morning?
29693Why did they allow us to pass their camp undisturbed?
29693Why did they not come with you?
29693Why do we sit here, lamenting that which can not be helped? 29693 Why do you think that?"
29693Why does Captain Dawson prevent them?
29693Why need they find out about it?
29693Why not make a settlement of your own?
29693Why not? 29693 Why not?"
29693Why should I hurry off to you with the news?
29693Why so?
29693Why would he go there?
29693Why, Mr. Brush, do n''t you know?
29693Why?
29693Why?
29693Why?
29693Why?
29693Why?
29693Why?
29693Why?
29693Would n''t you like to have me for your little girl?
29693Yes, you is, but if you ai n''t good, why ai n''t you good?
29693Yes,he said, compressing his lips;"it is hers; she dropped it there-- how long ago, Vose?"
29693You advise against it then?
29693You ca n''t be any happier than I; but, father,she added in amazement,"where is your other arm?"
29693You mean that this town shall be''New Constantinople?''
29693You mean well, Vose, but do you imagine that Nellie and I did not count the cost before turning our backs on New Constantinople? 29693 You mean''bout that bad word?"
29693You must n''t get up again, will you?
29693You wo n''t be gone long?
29693''Spose I sneak back, shoot the captain and then plug Ruggles and the parson?
29693''Spose the captain is agreeable?"
29693Am I right, Wade?"
29693And who shall picture the sorrow that wrenched the heart strings of the parent?
29693Are n''t they as good as ours?"
29693Are you worried about him, little gal?"
29693As before, Wade Ruggles was the first to come to himself, but when he spoke, it was in an awed, hesitating whisper:"Is she really alive?"
29693Big scheme, ai n''t it?"
29693Brush?"
29693But what can_ I_ do?
29693But where are the three?"
29693Ca n''t we fix it some way, so that she sha n''t hear''em at all?"
29693Chairman?"
29693Did I hear a groan?"
29693Did you recognize the others?"
29693Died on the field of battle, or in camp or hospital, in the service of his country,--what more glorious epitaph can patriot desire?"
29693Do n''t I have to make a trip to Sacramento three or four times each year?"
29693Do n''t you suppose we knew we should be pursued and were prepared for the consequences?"
29693Do you know anything of the place?"
29693Do you mean to give up, captain, and let her go?
29693Do you understand?"
29693Does any gent feel disposed to dispoot the aforesaid statement?"
29693Does that which she can learn elsewhere outweigh that which she will never learn in this secluded settlement?
29693Has she not already acquired that rugged strength which renders her nature secure against evil?
29693Have n''t you got a little girl like me?"
29693Have n''t you seen Adams yet?"
29693Have you ever seen a cat?"
29693Have you seen anything wrong?"
29693He could not win the good will of Vose, but she could, for who was able to resist her appeals?
29693He had begun to ask himself in a whispered, startled way:"Why may I not possess this mountain flower?
29693He suddenly called:"Dawson, what time is it?"
29693How could she avoid feeling grateful, when she knew that he had risked his life for her parent, even on their late journey through the mountains?
29693How would it do for both of you to walk back with your arms round each other''s neck and sayin''sweet words-- wouldn''t that fetch him?
29693I thought nothing of that, however, for who would have believed it possible that there could be anything wrong?
29693If you come back, you would have been sartin to meet us, and what then?"
29693In other words, what does''E Pluribus Unum''mean?"
29693In the solitude of his own thoughts, the lover put the question to himself:"Am_ I_ unselfish in my intentions?"
29693Is she not doubly panoplied in goodness by the training of her infancy and girlhood?"
29693It is a pity to lose the opportunity, but I will leave it to you, parson and Ruggles; what do you say?"
29693It was the parson who said:"I suppose we have nothing to do except to wait here till you come back?"
29693My proposal is that we wait here till to- morrow morning until they come up; what is your opinion?"
29693Nellie laid her arm on the sleeve of Ruggles, and looking up yearningly in his face she asked:"Can you give me any news of father?"
29693No; that wo n''t do; how the mischief shall I fix things?"
29693Now give me the name of that letter,""D.""And that?"
29693Now will you tell me what letter that is?"
29693Parson Brush asked, as he pointed almost directly ahead:"Is n''t that a light off yonder?"
29693Queer town, ai n''t it?"
29693Rising immediately to a sitting position, he asked:"Is it midnight?"
29693Since they are too mean to trade, I leave it to you to say whether we shall let up on''em or make''em trade; which is it?"
29693Suppose the couple should leave their hiding place to return to the main trail before their pursuers were out of the way?
29693Suppose we now try the commandments: can you repeat the first one?"
29693Take her away from us?
29693That is all there is before the house, and I insist that we confine ourselves to that----""Is n''t that what I''ve been insistin''on?"
29693The captain was in an ugly mood and in a threatening voice asked:"Did you have anything to do with this?"
29693The disgusted parson exclaimed:"Why did n''t one of us think of that?
29693The men looked in one another''s faces and the captain asked in a guarded voice, as if afraid of being overheard:"Whose fire is it?"
29693Then bending over, he said, as he kissed the little one:"I thought you were asleep, Nellie?"
29693Then he pressed his lips to hers, and half- laughing and half- crying asked:"Who''s the happier, you or I?"
29693Then she exclaimed with a laugh:"Ai n''t that funny?"
29693Then turning to the guide, he asked:"Do you still advise her to leave me?"
29693They will never have the chance to officiate at his funeral, so how are they to learn of the manner of his taking off?"
29693To make sure, she looked up while still on her knees and asked:"Did I fordot any of you?"
29693Turning those lustrous blue eyes upon him she softly asked:"Will you do what I ask you?"
29693Was it instinct or reason that controlled the animal?
29693What a triumph it would be( and was it unreasonable to expect it?)
29693What else could it be?
29693What is your pleasure, gentlemen?"
29693What was the meaning of this?
29693What would that good old mother of mine think, if she was alive?
29693What''ll I think?
29693What''ll the parson think?
29693What''s the next thing to do, Vose?"
29693When at last she was ready, she looked up to her father and asked in a half whisper:"Where''s mamma?"
29693When do you wish to take up the pursuit?"
29693When not one of the men himself believed the story, how could he hope to make the mourning daughter believe it?
29693Where are they?"
29693Who can tell the sorrows of childhood when such a cruel affliction comes upon it?
29693Who shall draw the line in explaining many of the actions of the brute creation?
29693Who would have dared to say that amid this rough, uncouth people, such loveliness could take root and nourish?
29693Whoever heard of a town with three handles to its name?
29693Why did n''t they stay where they promised to stay, and why did n''t they kill that blamed dog afore he played this trick on''em?"
29693Why not keep Vose Adams a prisoner?
29693Will that suit you?"
29693Wo n''t let us settle among''em, eh?
29693Would n''t it be a good idee fur the gent to try it?"
29693Would the parent never understand him?
29693Would you have thought there was anything wrong if you had seen them?"
29693You understand the position of the Court?"
29693abruptly asked Nellie, shrinking closer to him;"have you a bear following you?"
29693do you expect me to open and read all the letters I bring through the mountains?"
29693exclaimed Vose Adams;"what have you been doing with her all this time?
29693has n''t she grown?
29693he repeated in a husky, rasping voice;"can there be any mistake about_ that_?"
29693it''s the chief''s horse,"he exclaimed;"do you see that?"
29693thundered the father of Nellie Dawson;"why did n''t you hurry off to me with the news?"
60099''Ow is a man to keep''is self- respect?
60099After all,she said,"hurting this little man would n''t bring mamma her pink roses, would it, dear?"
60099Ai n''t it cold?
60099Ai n''t sugar high?
60099Ai n''t that fierce?
60099Ai n''t that grand?
60099An''have ice- cream?
60099And now about you?
60099And why should you be,Norah had answered,"with everything in the world that money can buy?"
60099And will yuh stay fer dinner?
60099And,said Father McGowan,"you have come to me because you are temporarily embarrassed for funds?"
60099Annette,said a girl from across the room,"how are you getting on?
60099Annie,she- said at last,"ai n''t they lovely?"
60099Any one coming to dinner?
60099Are they well around you?
60099Are you an upholder of the green velvet''throw''on the parlour organ, Miss Madden?
60099Are you one of_ us_?
60099Are you still set on this working business? 60099 Are you warmly enough dressed?"
60099Are you well, Father McGowan- dear?
60099But she''s Cecilia''s best friend,objected Stuyvesant,"and why would she do anything to hurt her?"
60099C- could I have a sundae?
60099C."Well?
60099Can I stay and talk?
60099Cecilia,said Marjory,"_ were_ you engaged to Tommy Dixon?"
60099Cecilia?
60099Celie,he said,"you was n''t sweet on that young Twombly?
60099Celie,said Jeremiah,"what_ has_ this fellow did to the potatoes?
60099Come up to your room to- night?
60099Could n''t you see how dear and all that kind of thing she was?
60099Darlin''?
60099Dear,she said,"do you think I''d love you less, for-- for loving some one else?
60099Dearest Keefer Stuyvesant,she whispered shakily,"whose tears are these?
60099Dearest,said Cecilia,"you would not want him punished, would you?
60099Did you tell Mrs. De Pui?
60099Did-- did you collect girls''photographs?
60099Do n''t you want some new frills, or something?
60099Do n''t you want to get in cooler things?
60099Do n''t you want to smoke?
60099Do you want me to like him?
60099Do yuh feel_ some_ better?
60099Doctor Van Dorn?
60099Does he get crushes?
60099Does he play tennis?
60099Does n''t she care for you?
60099Does she still faint over it?
60099Does_ he_ set and study much?
60099Father McGowan,said Cecilia,"shall I ever be allowed to forget my inferiority to the most?
60099Father McGowan,she whispered,"oh, Father McGowan-_dear_, where are you?"
60099Good little woman?
60099Has n''t Stuyvesant a huge fortune?
60099Has she been a good friend to you?
60099Has the doctor been here?
60099Have I seemed like a kid to you?
60099Have you a patent protection on those bricks?
60099Have you come to tell me to be a good girl at the swell school?
60099He ai n''t? 60099 He ai n''t?"
60099Hot toddy?
60099How are you going to give it?
60099How are you, dear?
60099How can I help him?
60099How could you ever dislike her, Annette?
60099How did Mr. Twombly happen to come?
60099How did the girls treat her?
60099How did you know?
60099How do you do?
60099How do you take your tea?
60099How is your sister?
60099How long were you there?
60099How old are you, John?
60099How yuh feel, honey boy?
60099How''d do?
60099How''re yuh?
60099How''s she?
60099How''s the pain?
60099How''s your father?
60099How_ is_ he?
60099Huh?
60099I beg pardon?
60099I do n''t see how even a set of simpering, half- witted, idiotic, jealous girls could_ help_ seeing----"So you''re in love with her?
60099I hope you do me?
60099I judge it was dusty?
60099I see what you are going to destroy, but what are you going to put in their places? 60099 I was afraid you was frettin''over him,"said Jeremiah;"you was n''t?"
60099I wonder what I shall wear?
60099I would n''t?
60099I''d like to know why not?
60099In time you may even elevate your lorgnette and ask coldly,''Who_ is_ she?''
60099Is he your gent''man friend?
60099Is he_ crazy_?
60099Is it as bad as that?
60099Is n''t it ennobling, and broadening, and all that kind of thing?
60099Is n''t it utterly_ hope_less?
60099Is n''t that almost too beautiful?
60099Is_ that_ why you came to me?
60099John dear,said Cecilia,"_ are_ you sick?"
60099John, dear?
60099Kept him in the backyard or in the cellar, it would be better?
60099Look here, Stuyv,he said,"_ did_ you say that?"
60099Look here, Stuyv,he said,"is this a bluff?
60099Look here,said John seriously,"did you go through that period?"
60099Mary,he whispered,"what makes her look like she wants to cry?"
60099May I, Miss Cecilia, or the doctor? 60099 Miss Cecilia, may I introduce Doctor Holt?
60099Mister, will yuh please attend to this here baggage?
60099Mrs.,he said,"how_ is_ he?"
60099My_ dear_,said another,"_ have_ you seen the boy?
60099Name?
60099Norah,said Cecilia,"am I-- am I what you''d call pretty?"
60099Norah,said Cecilia,"which is my prettiest dress?"
60099Norah,she said,"you will be very good to Johnny and paw?
60099Now ai n''t it?
60099Now that you are awake,said Cecilia,"what do you think of those near- men you''ve been introducing me to all summer?"
60099Now what''s he doing?
60099Of course,he said,"but how''d you know?"
60099Oh, yes,said Cecilia,"are n''t they fearful?
60099Oh,she said,"I thought it was John, but-- but you wanted to see me?"
60099Oh,--the Gov''ner?
60099Once only did he pass my way''When wilt Thou come again? 60099 One of your friends?"
60099Pardon?
60099Perhaps to- morrow you''ll feel differently?
60099Please do n''t tell her we were watching her, will you, John?
60099So you saw a man climbing up the grape arbor?
60099Sure? 60099 Sure?"
60099Thank you, dear,said Cecilia, and then:"Josephine, which is my most pretty dress?"
60099That dress now,he said,"ai n''t it kind of plain?
60099That was a jolt--he said shortly,"these roads,--did it jar you?"
60099The Higgenmeyers are dear, are n''t they?
60099The small Saint Cecilia does n''t, does she? 60099 Then we''ll go riding?"
60099Twombly responsible?
60099Um?
60099Want me?
60099Want to smoke?
60099Was he good looking?
60099Was yuh lookin''fer me, sir?
60099Well, old woman,he said loudly,"how yuh feelin'', better?"
60099Well, young man,he, said,"speeding?"
60099Well?
60099Well?
60099Well?
60099Well?
60099Well?
60099Well?
60099Wh- what have you been doing since I saw you?
60099What are you going to do with it?
60099What are you laughing at?
60099What colour are they?
60099What else am I here for?
60099What else did she say?
60099What fer?
60099What is a priest to do,asked Father McGowan,"when all his inclinations are to kiss a young lady''s hand?"
60099What is it?
60099What is the difference?
60099What is the matter with that woman?
60099What is this?
60099What say?
60099What was the boy''s name, Cecilia?
60099What was the matter with him?
60099What''s his name?
60099What''s in that box?
60099What''s in this box?
60099What''s your name, please?
60099What''s your name?

60099What?

60099Whatcha go for?
60099Whatud he say?
60099When did you break it off?
60099Where is he now?
60099Where is the doctor?
60099Where you going to college?
60099Where yuh goin''?
60099Where''s Father McGowan?
60099Where''s your necklace?
60099Which is my very prettiest dress?
60099Who is Norah?
60099Who shall I tell_ her_ they''re from?
60099Who''s the girl who dances like a duck with the rheumatism?
60099Who? 60099 Who?"
60099Why did n''t you help me?
60099Why did n''t you tell him who you were?
60099Why does n''t he help then? 60099 Why is n''t she here?
60099Why not?
60099Why should I? 60099 Will you forgive me, little Saint Sebastian?"
60099Will you_ please_ give me the next?
60099Will yuh, now?
60099Will-- will yuh bless the toad?
60099Wo n''t he be thirsty when he sniffs my lemonade?
60099Would it help to tell?
60099Would you kind of help me keep interested?
60099Would you like to stop?
60099Yes, John?
60099Yes?
60099Yes?
60099You are n''t still doing that?
60099You did n''t use to cry much, did you, dear child?
60099You do n''t mind?
60099You give her that?
60099You know what Stephen Leacock said about intellectual honesty?
60099You like to have pretty things, do n''t you?
60099You mashed on her too?
60099You prefer a man who is slippery both inside and out?
60099You say it''s an evidence of_ youth_ to get drunk?
60099You will come with me?
60099You will help him again?
60099You will help him?
60099You''ll stay? 60099 You''ll write me and tell me how,--how you all are?"
60099Your father?
60099Your sister cared for him, did n''t she?
60099Yuh ai n''t, are yuh?
60099Yuh think so, Celie?
60099_ Ai n''t_ she gettin''fine?
60099_ Ai n''t_ she learnin''quick? 60099 _ Ca n''t_ you help me?"
60099_ Ca n''t_ you?
60099_ How_ did you know?
60099_ Now_ what?
60099_ She_ is n''t going with us?
60099( It is n''t interesting, is it?)"
60099Ai n''t being kind being a lady?"
60099Ai n''t it pretty?
60099Ai n''t she purty?
60099Ai n''t she, right along?
60099Am I going to be a sentimental old maid, Father McGowan- dear?"
60099An''what can I do?
60099And Cecilia?
60099And it was not Marjory after all,--well, would n''t he be the happiest fellow on earth?
60099And,--is there any punishment more cruel than life?"
60099Are n''t her legs_ beautiful_?
60099Are n''t you going to look at your flowers?
60099Are you glad I''m going to college?"
60099Awfully good to her.... Had her life, his,--ever been as dreadful as that flash?
60099Bernard Shaw?
60099Bully, are n''t they?"
60099But have you saw the one I give her?
60099But you do, do n''t you?"
60099But,--what''s the use of saying all this?
60099But,--you_ will_ give me a chance?"
60099By the white wall?"
60099CHAPTER XI ACCEPTANCE"Celie, be yuh happy?"
60099CHAPTER XIV PINK"You are an advocate of gum- chewing?"
60099CHAPTER XIX SPRING"What are_ you_ doing here?"
60099Ca n''t we sit on this wall?
60099Can I?
60099Cecilia looked impressed and murmured,"Really?"
60099Cecilia wondered about her hat, or perhaps her petticoat hung out below her skirt?
60099Cecilia wondered vaguely if it could n''t be repaired and shone up?
60099Cecilia-- dear?"
60099Could you find us some?"
60099Dearest,_ where_ have you gone, and why?"
60099Did I tell yuh about the bath- tub?"
60099Did n''t you love the whole world more because of mamma?
60099Do n''t that count for nothing?
60099Do n''t you like''em fancied up with ruffles and lace and stuff?"
60099Do n''t you want no coffee?"
60099Doing what?"
60099Drat him, is he_ crazy_?"
60099Ever hear it?"
60099For the good of this Madden man''s soul you should help him to be truthful, not to so belittle his nature by----""You''re worried about his soul?"
60099Gimme the salt, will you?"
60099Have I_ any_ chance?"
60099Have you a match?"
60099Have you misunderstood what I thought?"
60099He gulped convulsively and almost yelled:"Great night, is n''t it?"
60099He looked on her, frowning deeply, then said with an unconcealed irritation showing in his voice:"Will you at least take him my card?"
60099He met sympathy in some quarters, curt refusals in others, and worst of all he sometimes met:"Cancer of the stomach?
60099He wondered what he was driving at anyway?
60099He wondered with dull misery if all his years would be full of this"where is the rest of me?"
60099Hev I got ta steal again?''
60099His picture?
60099How he_ did_ love----"And then Mrs. Higgenmeyer had come along and called loudly of the night:"Purty night, ai n''t it?"
60099How''s Jacky darling?"
60099How''s John?"
60099How''s Siberia to- day?"
60099I am not bitter, am I, Norah?"
60099I did, but what kin yuh do?
60099I know they''re unusual, now are n''t they, Annette?"
60099I sez''What kin I do?
60099I wonder how he is?"
60099I''ll stop for you in a moment, that is, if you''ll come?"
60099If the doctor had said no one but Van Dorn could help her, Lord, what chance had they?
60099If you''d help me keep interested,--will you?"
60099Is n''t it splendidly romantic?"
60099Is n''t that enough to make any one happy?"
60099Is she still coughing, and is she drinking the milk I send?"
60099Is the durn fool blind?
60099It is n''t a nice name, is it, Evangeline Cecilia?"
60099It wo n''t work,''an''I''d say,''Is it going to rain, Father McGowan?''
60099It''s all so relative, is n''t it?
60099John?"
60099Life''s question mark,--Fate''s smile,--or God''s hand?
60099Look here, John, whatcha think of that shaft?
60099Norah, you use the blue glass butter dish, wo n''t you?"
60099Not Lady Grenville- Bowers?"
60099Now ai n''t it purty?"
60099Now do you want a drink?
60099Oh, dear child, is n''t that beautiful too?"
60099One can always find enjoyment when looking for it, ca n''t one?
60099PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO MY DEAR MOTHER SOURCE OF MY INNER PINK ROSES CONTENTS CHAPTER I Where Is Gawd?
60099Perhaps John had made the supreme effort and had managed to speak those few words?
60099See that he does no harm, but do n''t do more,''an''I sez,''It''s snowin''now, ai n''t it?''
60099Send another car for her, or take her along?"
60099Shall I always feel this way?"
60099Shall I ask one of the Welsh twins?
60099She looked awfully cold, and she said,''May I ask where you have been, Cecilia?''
60099She remembered John''s sneer and his question:"Been shopping at the''Five and Ten''?"
60099She turned white as----""Did she say that?"
60099She wondered if this Browning person could have made a success at manufacturing bricks?
60099She wondered whether she would ever get the chance to thank that Mr. Keefer Stuyvesant Twombly for those lovely flowers?
60099She would not lie, but if he cared to misunderstand how could she, Marjory, help that?
60099She''s a wonder; why, in school----"John broke off, another thought interrupting:"Why did n''t you let me jolly her about your picture?"
60099So her dear father and the fact that she was born in poverty made her an outcast?
60099Sometimes she wondered if K. Stuyvesant Twombly were living, and if so, where?
60099The Maddens own all this?
60099The blue glass butter dish had once seemed so very lovely...."Are they giving me anything to take your place?"
60099The mystery echoed...."Father McGowan- dear,"she whispered,"where_ are_ you?
60099There was a longer interval, then a sharp"What?"
60099There was an interval then the doctor heard him say:"Your prettiest dress?
60099They did not match, but why be particular?
60099They exchanged the usual formalities, then Father McGowan said:"Well?"
60099To be as sure of Stuyv''s always closeness,--to have Cecilia so cared for...."Ca n''t you let her out a little?"
60099Understand?"
60099Want a cooky, dearie?"
60099Were n''t they_ ever_ coming?
60099What are you going to wear to- night?"
60099What could it be?
60099What did I say that for?
60099What made me say it?
60099What''s that?"
60099What''s the matter with you?"
60099What''s the name of it?"
60099What''s wrong with you?"
60099When Johnny wants paw to wear collars all the time, you take him out and give him doughnuts to divert him, will yuh?"
60099Where did you meet him,_ dear_?"
60099Where''ll I meet you?"
60099Where''s his companion?
60099Where''s your handkerchief?
60099Who said that, Cecilia?
60099Who was that who passed us?
60099Whose is it?
60099Why do n''t he come down here an''love?"
60099Why does he do it?
60099Why were you so stiff- necked about my help, Annette?
60099Why?"
60099Will you smoke?"
60099Will you walk back with me?"
60099Wo n''t they be_ killing_?"
60099Wo n''t you come have a piece of pie now?
60099Wo n''t yuh now?"
60099Would n''t that be nice?"
60099Would your sister mind?''
60099You are Cecilia?"
60099You did mention that, did n''t you?"
60099You do n''t mean a long trip?"
60099You do n''t mind?"
60099You know Father Tabb''s poem about it?"
60099You know how foolish duty may be at nineteen?
60099You read those articles?"
60099You see, of course, that the other girls''advantages have not been yours?"
60099You want me to be happy?"
60099You will help me?
60099You will, wo n''t you?"
60099You will?
60099You wo n''t worry?
60099You''ll bless it?
60099You''ll come to my house, too?"
60099You''ll try to get him through this smartness?"
60099You-- you do n''t read that kind of stuff, do you?"
60099You_ was n''t_?"
60099Your influence is wonderful with me.... How do you like being an''Influence''?
60099Yours or mine?"
60099_ Ai n''t_ he cute, now?"
60099_ Ai n''t_ he in?"
60099_ Ai n''t_ it cute?"
60099_ Do n''t_ she sparkle?"
60099_ Have_ you ever seen her father?"
60099_ How_ can we be apart when I feel like this?"
60099_ Why_ not?
60099ai n''t that it?"
60099and of his gasping,"John,--you''d be willing?"
60099asked Annette;"turned you down?"
60099came in a rather husky voice,"Pussy needs some Mothersill''s, does n''t she?"
60099he questioned,"and set around in white pants?"
60099or Arnold Bennett?"
60099said John aghast,"what am I going to do without you?
60099she answered;"but you''re sure he''s not really hurt?"
60099she thought,"what_ is_ the matter with me?
55222Ai n''t you, father?
55222And how much have you got?
55222And is father going to have them to dinner?
55222And that''s quite true, father?
55222And when did you leave Banleigh?
55222And when may it be?
55222And who will my little Miles choose for a partner?
55222And you thought''constituents''meant''wild men?''
55222And you''re quite disappointed?
55222And, by the way,he added,"where is Master Humphrey?"
55222Answer me-- father-- why-- don''t you-- speak?
55222Are you listening to me, Humphrey?
55222Are you quite sure, father?
55222Are you surprised, Fardie?
55222Are you very tired, Humphrey?
55222But is n''t the hen- house kept locked?
55222But what do you want, Humphie?
55222But what''s testament in English? 55222 But what''s that noise, Humphie?
55222But what''s this?
55222But when will next time be?
55222But when will next time be?
55222But where''s your money?
55222But why not tell your father? 55222 But why should he think it meant wild men?"
55222Come here, Clement,said Mrs. Colville to a little boy in the distance;"there, do n''t you see, Mary, how differently his things set?"
55222Did the clergyman take any of my texts to- day for his sermon?
55222Do n''t people write their names, father? 55222 Do n''t you think you could hold all your things together?"
55222Do they dance''Up the middle and down again,''Fardie?
55222Do you ever go to the Queen''s ball Fardie?
55222Do you happen to remember his name?
55222Do you?
55222Does Virginie say so?
55222Does he understand what has happened?
55222Does it mean the same thing as a sound of many waters?
55222Does your French bonne make your clothes, dear?
55222Dyson is the old deaf man, is n''t he? 55222 Father,"exclaimed the boy, in a clear treble voice, that was heard all over the room,"where are the wild men?"
55222Father,he went on,"what are abo-- abo--""Aborigines?"
55222Get up now, Humphie?
55222Had n''t we better ask Virginie if we may go all that way alone?
55222Had n''t you better be beginning pretty soon? 55222 Have not you got anything for a man to put in his pocket?"
55222Have you got a husband?
55222Have you put''Good- bye everybody?''
55222He''ll hear soon, wo n''t he, Humphie?
55222He''s not thinking about us, is he, darling?
55222How much will it cost?
55222How much?
55222How should we see you, Fardie?
55222How were my people?
55222Humphrey, my darling,he exclaimed, in his longing to do something, be it ever so little, to soothe his boy''s dying hour,"what is it?
55222Humphrey,said Sir Everard,"why do n''t you come and say''How do you do?''
55222I shall be well by the Harvest Home sha n''t I?
55222I suppose when you were young and went to balls, they used to dance the minuet?
55222I suppose, of course, father,_ you_ could say them right off?
55222I suppose, of course, you do n''t remember the direction?
55222I thought for a moment-- or I dreamt-- that I was getting well-- and-- it was----"It was what?
55222I wonder how long they''ll look so fresh and clean?
55222I wonder if you could keep a secret?
55222I''m_ so_ tired, Humphie, and_ so_ hot, shall we go home?
55222If you had lived in the times of the Wars of the Roses, which side would you have taken?
55222If you tell stories, father, you''ll go to hell like...._ Who_ was it told stories about the wild men''s dinner party?
55222In the fields? 55222 In_ yours_, father?
55222Is Humphie going to sleep all night in the drawing- room?
55222Is he going to shake hands with every single one?
55222Is he jealous, I wonder?
55222Is it possible you are little Mary Wilberforce? 55222 Is n''t it a lovely one, Miles?
55222Is n''t it cheap?
55222Is n''t the Queen very angry with you?
55222Is your nurse French?
55222It will hold so very few cigars,suggested the woman,"had you not better have a larger one?"
55222It would n''t keep good till Friday, I suppose, for the wild men''s dinner party?
55222It''s a little hot for running, is n''t it?
55222It''s''diculous nonsense, Fardie, of_ course_?
55222Jealous?
55222Let me see: Humpty- Dumpty, was an egg, was n''t he?
55222May I go and say good- night to him?
55222May I try and make a mark, father?
55222Mother, mother, may I go out?
55222Mother,he answered, in a faint voice;"when is she coming to fetch me?"
55222Must I really_ really_ come?
55222Must you go?
55222My grace?
55222Need you ask?
55222New harness?--yes,said the doctor, dismounting;"but tell me what''s the matter with your brother?"
55222No, darling; how could Humphrey be an egg?
55222No, no my poor child-- I''m not angry only so sorry to see you ill."Am I_ very_ ill? 55222 No,"said little Miles, meekly,"but you''ll tell me, Humphie?"
55222Not Mrs. Jones, the steward''s wife?
55222Nothing''s the matter, but do n''t you remember our_ delicious_ plan to get up early and pick mushrooms?
55222Oh, I do n''t know? 55222 Oh, that''s it-- is it?
55222Old or young?
55222Said what-- said what?
55222She''s always saying unkind things,sobbed the child, clinging to him;"she ought n''t to--_ought_ she?
55222So you thought you were going to see a lot of wild men, young gentleman?
55222So you would like to see me when I am away,he said, stroking the child''s hand,"do you miss me when I''m not with you?"
55222Tell me,he said, with a forced smile,"what was that little song you were singing to yourself when I came in?"
55222Tell you what, my dear, dear little fellow?
55222Testament in English? 55222 That''s right,"said Humphrey;"there''s nothing to be afraid of--_is_ there?"
55222The Harvest Home? 55222 The same as the Gospels and Epistles?
55222Then he''s better, is he?
55222Then if I say''a sound of Charlie,''said Humphrey,"it means the same as''a sound of rushing and singing in my head?''"
55222Then why do you speak to her in English?
55222Used you to wear a pig- tail, father?
55222Very well, father,with a sigh;"we wo n''t crawl along, if you do n''t like it; but you wo n''t mind our going to look at it?
55222Very well: where shall I find you?
55222Wars of the Roses,he repeated, to gain a little time for reflection;"have you been learning a great deal about them lately?"
55222We might go to the village, might n''t we, and spend my pennies? 55222 Well, Doctor,"he called out;"how are you?
55222Well, my little fellows, and how are you both? 55222 What are you going to do, Humphie?"
55222What are you going to give William for his birthday present, father?
55222What are you thinking about, Humphrey?
55222What can it be that ails the child?
55222What does he mean?
55222What does it mean?
55222What does what mean, my darling?
55222What has he got there?
55222What have you got hold of, Humphrey?
55222What is he thinking about?
55222What is that, father? 55222 What is the matter?"
55222What is the use of scolding such a boy,thought he;"a child who does not even remember for what offence he is suffering?"
55222What is to be done?
55222What is your name, dear?
55222What o''clock were you born, William?
55222What shall we do? 55222 What shall we talk about?
55222What then?
55222What thing?
55222What was it like?
55222What will Virginie say?
55222What''s the end, Fardie? 55222 What_ do_ you mean, Humphrey?"
55222What_ is_ the matter, Humphie?
55222What_ will_ she say?
55222When do you suppose you''ll be giving me another shilling, father?
55222Where is Master Humphrey?
55222Who are you?
55222Who is the happy lady, Humphrey?
55222Who would you look for, my little man?
55222Why did you not ask me, or look it out in the dictionary? 55222 Why did you not come and help me to dress this morning?"
55222Why do n''t you tell me?
55222Why do you get out of bed in the middle of the night?
55222Why not? 55222 Why not?"
55222Why not?
55222Why on earth does he not stand on a stool?
55222Why, Humphrey, my little man, what is the matter?
55222Why, what did I say?
55222Why?
55222Wild men, Humphrey?
55222Will he tell us such nice stories about kangaroos and boar- hunting?
55222Will you come and help me with my dinner, next week, Charlie?
55222Will you come for a run, father?
55222Will you finish about the crocodile to- morrow?
55222Will you soon be out of your bath, father?... 55222 Will you try to go to sleep?"
55222Would it be soon?
55222Would the child suffer?
55222Yes, dear, I think so; but why? 55222 Yes, when will next time be?"
55222Yes,said Uncle Charlie, enjoying the joke;"it will be fine fun for you and Miles, wo n''t it?"
55222Yes-- isn''t that funny?
55222You do n''t expect me to do the same, I hope?
55222You have n''t been picking fungus, I hope?
55222You have n''t the slightest_ idea_, I suppose, father what it is?
55222You''ll promise, wo n''t you, father? 55222 You''re not angry with me, father?
55222_ Does_ it?
55222_ You''re_ often ill, Miles; why should n''t I be ill sometimes?
55222it is n''t true-- is it? 55222 ... Had the boy ever walked? 55222 And laying his hand on the child''s head, he said:How did you know that was your mother, Humphrey?"
55222And then he told me, did n''t you, William?"
55222And was there one who could say,"What is this to me?"
55222And what would you like?
55222And what''s this?"
55222And will somebody be kind to my poor jackdaw?
55222And with a glad smile of welcome he stretched out his arms, and cried,"Has God sent you to fetch me at last, mother?
55222Another pause, and then Humphrey said:"Do you know, father, I think you had better take me home?"
55222Are they nice gentlemen?"
55222Are you just about soaping?...
55222Are you sponging now?...
55222But perhaps you can keep a secret?"
55222But supposing it should be true, what then?...
55222But what did Miles say about the jackdaw?
55222But what?
55222But what_ could_ be done for the child in the terrible hour of his trouble?
55222But, tell me,"he continued, drawing the boy into the hall,"Why did you say the mushrooms had given him a pain in his chest?"
55222Call it grief, despair, disappointment, anxiety, care-- call it what you will, do we not try to drown it in change of thought of some kind?
55222Can it really be him?
55222Can you last a little longer, do you think?"
55222Children of a larger growth, but children in understanding still, do not many of us wrestle with this undefined feeling in the same way?
55222Children of a larger growth, but children in understanding still, do not many of us, in spite of our maturer experience, do likewise?
55222Could I write mine, do you think, myself?"
55222Did I go near the writing- table?"
55222Did I not forbid you to go near that pond?
55222Did I see it written on a card?"
55222Did he not know every step?
55222Did not his eager kisses rain upon her cheek?
55222Did she not_ know_ what a loving heart beat under his apparent heedlessness and forgetfulness?
55222Do n''t you know that you have disobeyed me, and broken your promise?
55222Do n''t you remember the man in the story crawled along the branch that stretched over the water?
55222Do these little fellows go to church?"
55222Do you hear me, sir?
55222Do you hear?"
55222Do you know my birthday is not till Monday week?"
55222Do you know,"he concluded, suddenly dropping his voice,"that we have very nearly lost your little brother?"
55222Do you understand the Revelations, Humphie?"
55222Does it not drive the rich to society, traveling, or excitement, and the poor to the public- house?
55222Father, why do n''t you tell me?
55222For were not one and all bound to the land the preacher was describing?
55222For what did the word_ life_ mean to Humphrey?
55222Had he ever done anything but run?
55222Had he not watched them hour by hour?
55222Had n''t you better write it down?"
55222Has he got an attack of indigestion?"
55222Have I brought up to any one a dimly- remembered vision?
55222Have they taken their hats?"
55222Have you got one to tell me?"
55222He believes his elders infallible-- in fact, he must: have they not proved right over and over again?
55222How can I say it?"
55222How glossy his coat is to- day, is n''t it?"
55222How is he to fight with it?
55222How is he to resist it?
55222How shall we attempt to follow the hazy imaginings of his weak and wandering mind?
55222How was it that he, who had enjoyed to the full the pleasures of his young life, should be so ready to renounce them all?
55222How_ could_ he get up to her?
55222Humphie, do n''t we miss Fardie dreadfully when he''s away, and wish he would never go?"
55222I hope you have n''t guessed by that?"
55222I hope, father, you will let me be a sailor when I grow up?"
55222I want to remember it, and I can''t-- do you?"
55222I wonder if you know who he is?"
55222If we_ promise_ not to climb, you wo n''t say we''re not to go,_ will_ you?"
55222Is it a cock crowing or a bull roaring?"
55222Is it not all explained?
55222Is it ready true that he will never fly again?
55222Is it true that unless I remember all the battles of the Wars of the Roses, I shall never be able to go into parliament?"
55222Is it, then, so difficult to understand?
55222Is that true, Fardie?"
55222Is that what I mean?
55222Is the child, then, to pass away uneasy, with a cloud upon his happiness; or must a miracle be worked in his favor?
55222Is the fear of death coming over him?"
55222Is there anything more?"
55222Is this a picture or is it a reality?
55222It was a very long word, the a-- abo----""Constituents?"
55222It would n''t be right, I suppose, to say them out of doors?"
55222Life bereft of these, what was it to him?
55222Little Miles held up his face to be kissed-- a thin face it was still-- and said:"You''ll come back soon, Fardie, and not go away any more?"
55222May I tell him from you that he has no cause to fear your anger?"
55222Might it not be meant as a preparation?
55222Might not this be a part of the truth, and the rest concealed?
55222Miles is dying-- how could he come up?
55222Miles is dying.... How did he come in?...
55222Mrs. Colville''s sister?
55222Must Heaven open and show him the army of innocents standing at the right hand of God?
55222No bones broken since last week?
55222No new bruises and bumps, eh?"
55222Now it is just the other way, is n''t it?"
55222Now where_ could_ it have been?
55222Now_ you_ would not care for either of those, would you?"
55222Oh, father,_ did_ you guess?"
55222Oh, where did I hear all about it?
55222One day Humphrey woke with a start, as if from a dream, and said eagerly:"Did n''t you promise they should n''t make me well?"
55222Only now and then-- sometimes it----""What, dear boy?"
55222Or is it purely idealistic and fanciful?
55222Ought he to tell him?
55222Perhaps if his vague ideas could have taken shape, they would have formed themselves into some such expression as--"Can heaven be fairer than this?"
55222Perhaps you understand better than I do?"
55222Presently Humphrey startled him by saying--"What does Charlie mean?"
55222Promise not to try and make me well?"
55222Savez vous qu''il est midi passé?"
55222Shall I be well enough on Tuesday to dance''Up the middle and down again,''with Dolly?"
55222Shall I be well soon?"
55222Shall I run up and ask her?"
55222Shall I say it now?"
55222Shall I soon be well again?"
55222Shall he ever, ever catch the music of that wondrous song?
55222Shall we say Tuesday?"
55222She did not understand the boy: how should she?
55222Sir Everard took the child up in his arms"What are you doing, my little man?"
55222Take them away, and what remained?
55222The preacher heard it that Sunday morning; did he not say,"I heard a voice from heaven"?
55222This blank, empty feeling, how is he to drive it away?
55222This mysterious thing, which we, with our maturer experience, call sorrow, is not our first thought when it assails us,"How shall we drive it away?"
55222To be sure, it is a long time since I saw you-- three or four years, is n''t it?"
55222Virginie-- why was_ she_ not there?
55222Was he born deaf?"
55222Was not Miles more to him than to Virginie?
55222Well, I want to make my will; will you write it down as I say it?"
55222Were not his dear rough arms round her neck?
55222What are you afraid of?"
55222What are you doing now?...
55222What business had they at the pond?
55222What can I do for you?"
55222What can you mean?"
55222What did it mean?
55222What did you say, Miles?"
55222What else have I got?
55222What is Uncle Charlie?
55222What is a husk from which the kernel has been taken, or a casket from which the jewel is gone?
55222What is it like?
55222What is it like?"
55222What is that great hole?
55222What is the matter with him?"
55222What is the matter with my head?
55222What recks he more of the throbbing and singing in his aching head-- the sounds as of rushing waters?
55222What was it that had tickled the boy''s fancy?
55222What''s the English for that?"
55222When had he thought upon such things?
55222When have you wanted to come?"
55222When is that?"
55222When will he come and play?"
55222Where are they, Miles?
55222Where do you come from?
55222Where have I been?
55222Where have I heard that?
55222Where''s Miles?"
55222Where_ could_ I have seen it?
55222Which day shall it be?"
55222Who is Uncle Charlie?"
55222Who is it keeps on asking me what''boiteux''means?...
55222Who says it''s dangerous now?
55222Who was near me?
55222Why did Sir Everard put the child down so suddenly, and why should his voice falter a little, as he repeated the baby couplet?
55222Why did not_ she_ prevent their going to the pond?
55222Why do n''t you say quick, it''s not true?"
55222Why do you say I would rather have him?"
55222Why do you''ie there, and look so white?"
55222Why has it risen with such relentless force now?
55222Why not?"
55222Why, how much money have you got?"
55222Why, what have you been doing?"
55222Why, when I laugh at you and Miles, do you think I do not like you?"
55222Will that do?"
55222Would he ever have recovered the effects of a wholesale soaking?
55222You could do it, could n''t you, if it were not for the heat?"
55222You know my sister, Sir Everard?"
55222You remember, do n''t you, William?
55222You would n''t be afraid, I suppose, to climb up the big tree overhanging the pond where the water- lilies are?"
55222_ Ai n''t_ you glad, Mrs. Colville?
55222_ Do_ children ever learn it?
55222and to make sure there should be no mistake, this memorandum added:"a suit such as was lately made for Sir E. Duncombe''s little boy"?
55222and why is the man all sewed up in white?"
55222are you tired?"
55222do you know they''re poison?"
55222exclaimed Humphrey, starting,"were you speaking to me?
55222exclaimed Humphrey,"_ now_ what is it?
55222exclaimed the doctor,"who could have allowed him to eat them?"
55222exclaimed the doctor;"you do n''t mean to say they let that delicate child eat mushrooms?
55222he mentally questioned;"is it physical pain, or is something troubling his thoughts?
55222he questioned, after a pause,"have you remembered?"
55222he said, with a sickly smile,"what are you dreaming about?
55222he suggested;"and then I''ll pop on your blouse quick, and make the band very tight, to keep it all steady?"
55222in the House of Parliament?"
55222must I really?"
55222one is a good deal older than me and----""White hair, then_ of course_?"
55222ought he to prepare him?
55222où êtes- vous donc?"
55222said Humphrey, holding up his basket;"did you ever see such a quantity?"
55222said Humphrey, rather puzzled;"jealous means angry-- doesn''t it?"
55222said Miles, quickly--"at least I do n''t think I have,"he added doubtfully,"But what_ is_ fungus, Humphie?"
55222said Miles, rather scared;"why, that is n''t prayers, is it, Humphie?"
55222said Sir Everard,"why, how old do you think I am?"
55222said little Miles eagerly, holding up the book,"_ can_ you remember what she used to say about this picture?"
55222said the old man;"then it''ll be a top, maybe?"
55222sobbed the child, trying to throw his feeble arms round his neck,"is it really you?
55222to stay with me?"
55222to these gentlemen?"
55222were you not feeling well?"
55222what do you mean by behaving in this way?"
55222what then?
55222when indeed?"
55222when indeed?"
55222when will next time be?"
55222who else was to tell him of the blight that had fallen on his young life?
55222who was to do it, if not he?
55222why what do you want to buy?"
55222will you come to Humphie?
55222will you promise, before you even ask Virginie, that we may come down to dinner that night, and see them?"
20963''A guinea, two guineas?'' 20963 ''An inn?''
20963''And is that all your luggage?'' 20963 ''And oh, Mary, what about the noise?
20963''Are you going away, grandmother?'' 20963 ''Are you rested?''
20963''Are you sure everybody''s been asked?'' 20963 ''Asleep?''
20963''Berkeley,''he said gravely,''have you forgotten what I said to you two or three days ago?'' 20963 ''Berkeley,''he said, in his nervous, jerky fashion,''that is not the_ proper_ way from your schoolroom to chapel, is it?''
20963''Berkeley,''it said,''you are Berkeley of the 300th, are n''t you? 20963 ''But how could I go?''
20963''But how did you find out where he had been?'' 20963 ''But suppose it is a_ mad_ dog?''
20963''But, Mary,''I said, pausing in my occupation of putting on my stockings,''are you still thinking of taking this house?'' 20963 ''Ca n''t we be in time?
20963''Do the tops of the beds in Paris ever come down?''
20963''Do you know, Nelly,''she said,''queer things happen sometimes that one would be half inclined to put down to fairies if one did not know better?'' 20963 ''Do you mean that you are frightened, Laura dear?''
20963''Frogs or mice, I know,''but indeed I do n''t know,said grandmother;"why should I wish to turn my boy and girl children into frogs and mice?"
20963''Is n''t it dreadful, Mary?'' 20963 ''Is that the new junior?''
20963''Is that the old house with the terraced garden?'' 20963 ''Laura dear,''she said gravely,''did you say your prayers last night?''
20963''Mary,''I whispered, surprised and somewhat annoyed at my sister''s calmness,''are you going to let her go away? 20963 ''My dear Hugh-- is it you?
20963''Oh, he_ does_ know me then?'' 20963 ''Report me?''
20963''Then the driver,''I said;''could n''t he stay somewhere downstairs? 20963 ''Then why are you so terrified?
20963''To leave us-- thou, our only girl-- to go away to that great Paris, where one is so wicked-- where none would guard thee or care for thee? 20963 ''Well, Berkeley-- glad to see you-- what can I do for you?''
20963''What could be much worse?'' 20963 ''What does it matter?
20963''What has bon papa been saying?'' 20963 ''What have I done,''I said to myself,''to be looked at as if I were wicked and ungrateful?
20963''What is true?'' 20963 ''What?''
20963''What_ shall_ we do?'' 20963 ''Where are we?
20963''Which Grange, Miss? 20963 ''Yes; did you ever see such a specimen?''
20963''You do n''t mean to say it_ is_?'' 20963 ''Your dog?''
20963And Didier, Marie?
20963And I do n''t_ want_ you to die, grandmother dear, do I? 20963 And I think so too,"said Sylvia,"Do n''t you, Ralph?"
20963And are you disappointed that it is n''t?
20963And did the small- pox not spoil your beauty, Marie?
20963And did you grow finer and finer too, Marie?
20963And grandmother, please,said Sylvia,"may Molly and I go out with Marcelline this afternoon to do some shopping?
20963And my mother said gently,''How could''st thou ask such a thing, Marie?''
20963And the stories would be beautiful if I told them-- eh, Molly?
20963And was he put in prison?
20963And what am I to talk about?
20963And what did she say?
20963And what did your grandmother say? 20963 And what does he do it for?"
20963And what then, my dear?
20963And what were you all so busy chattering about when I interrupted you just now?
20963And when, oh, when will you read it?
20963And where are the three others?
20963And why can not my little girl ask it without all those shakes and''bothers?''
20963And why in such a hurry?
20963And you never heard any more noises?
20963Are n''t you ready for tea? 20963 Are they_ the_ apples?
20963Are you-- can you be-- Henry the Fourth?
20963Are you?
20963But how did you hear it? 20963 But suppose she was n''t nice?
20963But the apple- tree did n''t?
20963But what about, my dear child?
20963But what is it?
20963But what, dear?
20963But what_ was_ he doing?
20963Ca n''t you tell it us to- night then, grandmother dear?
20963Carrying wood?
20963Could n''t I read it for you, mother dear?
20963Did he ever come back again?
20963Did he never come home from the Crimea?
20963Did it do well?
20963Did my_ uncle_ buy it?
20963Did she die?
20963Did the road wind uphill all the way? 20963 Did you also make friends with him?"
20963Did you ever try one on, grandmother?
20963Do n''t you know?
20963Do you remember what made me call him a cad? 20963 Do you see it in my eyes?"
20963Do you, my darling?
20963Forgive you, dear? 20963 Grandmother dear,"she said gently,"was n''t the old lady_ dreadfully_ sorry when she heard he was dead?"
20963Grandmother''s arm was round me in a moment, and her kind voice saying,''Why, what is the matter, my little Nelly?'' 20963 Grandmother, will you forgive me?"
20963Had you all those?
20963Has she been a long time with you, grandmother dear?
20963Have you so much to do, my dear little girls, that you have n''t room in your minds to remember even this one thing?
20963How could any stories ever be written if people went on about them like that?
20963How could we_ possibly_ get lost here?
20963How do you do, my dear? 20963 How many are broken then?"
20963How many brooches in all have you, Molly?
20963I am glad you think so, grand- daughter dear; and now, what about going to bed? 20963 I mean, what did you like best?"
20963I wrote a note, where is it?
20963I?
20963If you are not the picture, who are you then?
20963Is Mademoiselle looking for the little demoiselle?
20963Is he a naughty boy? 20963 Is he a poor boy?"
20963Is he-- are his people so very poor that he has to do it? 20963 Is my father thinking of buying it?"
20963Is not a little old lady like me equal to taking care of you all?
20963Is that the superlative of''very pleased,''my dear Molly?
20963It was the pleasantest of old houses; and oh, we were sorry to leave it, were n''t we, mother?
20963Might Mademoiselle wait there? 20963 Might she send them up to the house?
20963Molly, my dear, what are you staring at so? 20963 My dear child, what_ do_ you mean?"
20963My dear child,said grandmother, who, tired of waiting, just then made her appearance in their room,"what have you been doing?
20963Nine kilomètres; between five and six miles? 20963 Not so young as you have been, grandmother dear?"
20963Of course not-- how could a big town be built in a day? 20963 Oh, Molly, how can you be so silly?"
20963Oh, by the by, children, where are your letters for your father? 20963 Shall I run up and tell her to come down?"
20963Shall I run with it to grandmother?
20963Shall we all be like that, grandmother dear, when we get old?
20963So I am_ really_ to be''grandmother dear,''to you, my dear funny little girl?
20963Then how is it you have so many more things to keep in it than Sylvia?
20963Then you did take the Grange, aunty?
20963They just_ what_?
20963To go where?
20963Uncle Jack who was killed in the Crimea?
20963Une petite fille comme Mademoiselle?
20963We were walking through a very narrow street, I was telling you-- was I not? 20963 Well, Ralph, and what have you been doing with yourself?"
20963Well, and if I did,he said somewhat gruffly,"a fellow may be mistaken, may n''t he?
20963Well, my boy?
20963Well, my boy?
20963Well, tell us_ about_ your grandmother: what was she like? 20963 Well?"
20963Well?
20963Well?
20963What are you saying, my dear?
20963What are your pet wishes, children?
20963What called me back? 20963 What can he have been doing that for?"
20963What did she mean, then, do you think?
20963What did you do with them yesterday when you came in?
20963What did you like when you were little, grandmother?
20963What do all those stars mean?
20963What do you mean, Ralph? 20963 What do you think?"
20963What is it about, grandmother? 20963 What is it?"
20963What is the little story about?
20963What is the matter now, my dear?
20963What is the matter, dear?
20963What is the story of Marie''s apple- tree, grandmother?
20963What nice funny things grandmother says, does n''t she, Sylvia?
20963What place?
20963What shall I do?
20963What shall we do to- morrow? 20963 What was that, grandmother?"
20963What were the private reasons? 20963 What would you have it?
20963What''s the good of muddling up what I say, and making my head feel_ so_ uncomfortable when you know quite well what I_ mean_? 20963 What_ can_ I call aunty, unless I say she''s a very jolly fellow?"
20963What_ could_ the child have had in her head?
20963What_ will_ Walter think of us,said aunty piteously, referring to the children''s father,"if we begin by losing one of them?"
20963What_ would_ we have done if she had been very tall and stout, and fierce- looking, with spectacles and a hookey nose?
20963When you ca n''t find your gloves, because you did n''t put them away carefully, is it the fault of the shape of the chest of drawers?
20963Where is Stéfanos, Marie?
20963Where was I?
20963Which is n''t yet begun-- eh, Molly?
20963Who are you?
20963Who is he? 20963 Who was it that took a box of matches in her pocket to Holyrood Palace, and was going to strike one to look for the blood- stains on the floor?
20963Whose drawer is this?
20963Why are you so frightened, Mademoiselle?
20963Why did you leave it, grandmother dear?
20963Why do n''t you say something too, Ralph?
20963Why do they call it''Salle Henri II.?'' 20963 Why?
20963Will you really come too, dear grandmother?
20963Wo n''t you explain to them, mother?
20963Yes, grandmother,said Ralph, looking rather abashed,"do n''t you remember, grandmother-- the day I called Prosper de Lastre a cad?
20963You both forgot?
20963You never saw your uncle Jack, of course; has your father ever told you about him?
20963You ran down to the lodge to see the soldiers passing; do n''t you remember, just when you had half taken off your things?
20963You remember my calling one of the boys in my class a cad-- what Molly began about last night?
20963_ All?_exclaimed Sylvia.
20963_ As you broke them?_repeated grandmother.
20963_ Ca n''t_ you tell it to us to- night then, grandmother dear?
20963_ Did_ I, my dear boy?
20963_ I_ thought of something that would make a great lot of people happy, if you and aunty would do it, grandmother dear?
20963_ Mind_, my Ralph? 20963 _ Mother!_ how did you find out what I was doing?"
20963_ WHERE_ IS SYLVIA?
20963_ Where_ is Sylvia?
20963_ Would_ I, grandmother dear?
20963''Are these all your clothes?
20963''Dead?''
20963''Do n''t you, grandmother?''
20963''I mean, what is the_ good_ of saying your prayers if you do n''t believe what you say?''
20963''I think it is a delicious house, do n''t you, Mary?''
20963''Is n''t it_ awfully_ cold?
20963''It is dreadfully cold, is n''t it?''
20963''Laura dear, what has made you so nervous all of a sudden?''
20963''Oh yes-- what is the matter, Laura?''
20963''Shall I go back with you to Kadikoi?
20963''That dear boy?''
20963''There could n''t be any one as nice, could there?''
20963''Was Sawyer ill?''
20963''Were we at Ryeburn together?''
20963''What was this something?''
20963''Why did n''t you bring us here past the Grange?
20963''Why not?''
20963''Will you tell me why?
20963''You wo n''t make me take it back to the old man?
20963***** Will_ you_ answer little Molly''s question, children dear?
20963--''But we can lock the door from the tapestry room into the passage, from our side, ca n''t we?''
20963A beautiful feeling, but strange too, you know, Sylvia?
20963A franc-- half a franc-- how much was equal to a sixpence or a shilling?
20963A little demoiselle dressed like Mademoiselle?
20963An old woman like me, can I have much influence with a boy?
20963And Molly, my dear little girl, why can you not learn to be more considerate?
20963And how are we to get to them?
20963And how far to the Grange?''
20963And oh, grandmother, will you really forgive me?''
20963And this salmon- coloured satin, with the pea- green slip-- will the stuffs they dye now keep their colour like that a hundred years hence?''
20963And what is your name?
20963And, Ralph, we might think of something for a little Christmas present for her, might we not?
20963And_ is n''t_ my plan a good one?"
20963Are n''t you awfully hungry, Sylvia?"
20963Are you not delighted?
20963Besides, what was there to see?
20963Boys are aggravating creatures, are they not?
20963But how was this?
20963But is n''t she nice?"
20963But tell me now what was in your mind, Molly?
20963But the dear ladies have not been anxious about her?
20963But the next time you make a plan for teaching yourself any good habit, talk it over with me first, will you, dear?"
20963But those people who have n''t learnt when they were little, they ca n''t teach others, grandmother, when they do n''t know themselves?"
20963But why should I be grumpy?
20963But, grandmother dear,"she went on,"would you mind telling me one thing?
20963Can you fancy this house ever feeling_ home- y_, Mary?
20963Dear me, is this a new fashion?
20963Did he ever tell anybody?
20963Did she hear it?''
20963Did she scold you?"
20963Did you ever hear anything so strange, Nelly?''
20963Did you ever hear of it?"
20963Did you never hear of old Alderwood Grange?"
20963Did_ you_ like lessons when you were little, grandmother dear?"
20963Do n''t you think the one to the south with the crimson curtains will be best for father?''
20963Do you intend to make a joke of what you should be so ashamed of, your own carelessness?"
20963Do you know what''tact''is, Molly?
20963Do you know, Sylvia?
20963Do you remember me, Berkeley?''
20963Do you understand at all better, dear?
20963Does he not do his lessons well?"
20963For you see we owe you some reparation for indirectly forcing you to leave Ryeburn-- you might have risen there-- who knows?
20963Had her thoughts of him this very afternoon been a sort of presentiment of evil?
20963Has my voice no weight with you?
20963Have you not got hold of the wrong end of the story, Molly?"
20963How could there be two little demoiselles,"tout- à- fait pareilles?"
20963How could there be two''tout à fait pareils''?"
20963How did you get down?"
20963How did you get on at school, to- day, Ralph?"
20963How do you know what poor Mr. Sawyer said to himself when he was alone in his room that day?
20963How far is it from here to East Hornham?''
20963How is it it is so much smaller than Sylvia''s?"
20963How it will be in heaven I wonder often-- for friends so changed to meet again?
20963How much more is there?"
20963How was it that she could not manage to keep the resolutions so often and so conscientiously made?
20963How-- how much do you think would please the boys?''
20963How_ can_ you, Molly?"
20963Hung round with black and tapers burning?"
20963I cried, more and more angry,''What is it to you what I do?
20963I do not ask you now to say you care for me, you are too young, but I thought you would perhaps learn, but to think of you going away to Paris?
20963I do not wish to make him unhappy, but what can I do?
20963I glanced round at her; she was fast asleep; there was no danger; what harm_ could_ it do for me to take the cup into my hand for a moment?
20963I said to myself, Who could have done more?
20963I suppose his relations are not likely to interest themselves in his protégée?"
20963I think I may trust you with them, may I not?"
20963If it had n''t been, how would grandmother have known about it?"
20963If it is fine this afternoon,"he added,"may I stay out later?
20963Is he in the house, do you know?''
20963Is he too in the army?''
20963Is my cap crooked?"
20963Is n''t it nice?"
20963Is there a good crop this year?"
20963It is only seven, but if you are tired?"
20963It was a brave thing to do-- was it not?
20963It was-- did I say so before?
20963Let me see, where was I?
20963Mademoiselle can judge, are not the apples good?
20963Marie, you know how I care for you, how I have always cared for you, you know what I hope may be some day?
20963Molly, by this time almost in tears, remained behind for a moment to whisper to Sylvia,"Is grandmother dreadfully angry, do you think, Sylvia?
20963Now, do n''t they, grandmother dear?
20963Now, is n''t it true, Sylvia, is n''t our grandmother just like a_ real_ one?"
20963Of course I mean can grandmother remember her-- did she know her?
20963Oh dear, oh dear, what_ shall_ I do?''
20963Oh, Mary, what_ shall_ we do?
20963Oh, Nelly, never_ never_ plant that seed, for once it has taken root who can say how difficult it may be to tear it up?''
20963Oh, grandmother dear,"she went on, clasping her hands in entreaty,"just tell me this,_ do_ you ever tell stories?"
20963Oh, grandmother_ dear_, are n''t you glad she''s found?"
20963Please, grandmother dear,_ may_ I have that cup when you die?"
20963Ralph, you''ll sit up with me a little longer, wo n''t you?"
20963Rather like poor Mary, is she not?
20963Shall I pay them an unexpected visit-- eh, Molly?"
20963Shall I tell him to come up to speak to you?''
20963Shall he return in an hour, Berkeley?''
20963Shall we ask grandmother, Sylvia?"
20963She had fallen asleep with her head on the apple- woman''s stall; when she looked round her again where was she?
20963She is getting old, you see, and old people are always fond of talking, they say-- like your poor old grandmother-- eh, Molly?"
20963She is very fond of the little wood up the road, grandmother: shall I go and look for her there?"
20963She shall be called''Marie, shall she not?
20963So each of the three said"Well?"
20963So no wonder that poor Carlo repeated in amazement,"''_ Report_ me?''
20963Supposing anybody''s grandmother died before they were born, then they would n''t ever have had one, would they now?"
20963Sylvia lost in the Louvre"Whose Drawer is this?"
20963Then Sylvia said gently,"Did you tell your father and mother all about it, grandmother?"
20963There was a bag in the carriage-- should he bring it in?''
20963There was no special reason for it, was there?
20963Was grandmother''s own sight, hitherto quite to be depended upon, playing her some queer trick?
20963Was her sight, as well as her hearing, failing her?
20963Was it at that place?"
20963Was n''t she_ dreadfully_ sorry when she heard he was dead?"
20963We met Ralph in the town, and I''m sure he did n''t want us to see him, for what_ do_ you think he was doing?"
20963We never thought we''d have such adventures, did we?
20963We went up to the drawing- room, there was nobody there-- my father went out of the room and called up the staircase,''Mother, where are you?''
20963What can be nicer than a nice grandmother?"
20963What could Miss Wren be talking about?
20963What could be much worse?
20963What did I see?
20963What does he want?''
20963What does it matter to us?
20963What is it called?"
20963What is it?''
20963What shall I do with her?''
20963What shall I do?"
20963What shall we go to see first?"
20963What should I say?
20963What was the''plan''?"
20963What would my feelings have been had I been away in Paris?"
20963What_ is_ the meaning of it?
20963What_ was_ lost upon grandmother?
20963When did he die?
20963When people write stories how do they know all the things they tell?
20963Where could she be?
20963Where had she ever seen this old- world figure before?
20963Where is it, my dear?
20963Where was I?
20963Where_ are_ my gloves?
20963Which house shall we go to see first?''
20963Who is it?
20963Who_ can_ be above it really?
20963Whose could it be?
20963Why not believe it now?
20963Why should my life be given up to the fancies of a foolish old man like bon papa?''
20963Why would people praise me when I did not deserve it?
20963Will you do this?''
20963Will you please forgive me?"
20963Will you try to remember it, Molly?"
20963Will you write to my mother after I am gone, and tell her?
20963You are_ sure_, Miss, you were not dreaming?''
20963You do n''t mind, grandmother?"
20963You may be sure grandmother gave her a present, I rather think it was of a five- franc piece, which was very extravagant of grandmother, was n''t it?
20963You see you''re so much younger, and then I do n''t think anybody_ could_ tell stories like her, could they?
20963You understand it all now?
20963You will keep the cup now?''
20963You would look so beautiful telling stories, would n''t she now, Sylvia?"
20963[ Illustration:''WHOSE DRAWER IS THIS?'']
20963_ Had_ he ever seen him before?
20963_ Will_ you think of some?"
20963_ just_ like her?
20963exclaimed Sylvia and Molly--"oh, grandmother, what_ did_ you do?"
20963exclaimed all the children-- Molly adding,"Had_ you_ ever a grandmother, grandmother dear?"
20963how do you mean, aunty?"
20963is she quite alone in the world?
20963she went on, turning again to her sister,"how_ can_ you talk about dear grandmother dying?
20963to the other two, and stood waiting, as if they were playing the old game of"Who speaks first?"
20963was she like you?"
20963was she seeking some one?"
20963what did you do that for, and where did you get it?"
20963what''s his name?"
32401''Three times?''
32401A beggar?
32401About_ what_?
32401Ai n''t he got a great voice?
32401Ai n''t it a mite airly for sech didoes as them?
32401Ai n''t it just like folks?
32401Ai n''t that a way out, mebbe?
32401Ai n''t that like Jud?
32401And can you tell me whom we could get to transport our goods-- and ourselves-- to the top of the ridge?
32401And do n''t you think he did?
32401And how are you going to live? 32401 And how will we live until it is time for us to go-- until father is well enough to be moved?
32401And how would it do to bring father to an old, unheated house-- and so early in the spring? 32401 And springs?"
32401And that''s what the smoke means?
32401And the other time?
32401And what will you charge us?
32401And what''ll you do then?
32401And who was the other man?
32401And yet you say he talks against grandfather?
32401And you do n''t know what it''s all about?
32401And you have no relatives, Mrs. Harrison? 32401 And you let him up there?"
32401And you''ll take the first ride in it with me?
32401And, of course, your father did n''t come up here last night?
32401And-- and they never found anything?
32401Are n''t they bold creatures? 32401 Are you the girl who wrote to me?"
32401Beginning to get interested in neighborhood gossip already; are you?
32401Bottles of water?
32401But I hope your father''s better? 32401 But I must make it a profit-- no?"
32401But I wonder if we do n''t appear quite as''queer''and''green''to them as they do to us?
32401But do you suppose Aunt Jane will consent to it?
32401But has n''t he a handsome nose?
32401But how can we? 32401 But how could I pay you?"
32401But if it makes us independent? 32401 But if ye need me, ye''ll let me know?"
32401But suppose you should shoot somebody around here with that gun?
32401But that''s what I''m on earth for-- to do good-- didn''t you know that, Miss''Phemie?
32401But what can we do? 32401 But what could he possibly want up here?"
32401But what is it?
32401But what would folks say?
32401But what''s_ that_ got to do with his coming up here now-- and at night?
32401But why did n''t she sell to him?
32401But why did you get up?
32401But-- but how about Sairy?
32401But_ is_ it bottles we hear?
32401But_ why_?
32401Ca n''t you squeeze_ me_ in? 32401 Can we drive in here?"
32401Can you stand,''Phemie?
32401Can you take us home with you?
32401Catch you doing what?
32401Clodings, too?
32401Come on, girls, why not take me fully into your confidence? 32401 Confederate money?"
32401Could n''t you have got a mite nearer heaven, if you''d tried, Lyddy Bray?
32401Could n''t you put me-- and Molly-- up for the rest of the term?
32401Dad got it right; did n''t he?
32401Den I bay you cash for de goots undt you go undt puy new-- ain''dt idt?
32401Did n''t you see it?
32401Did you ever see such a face? 32401 Do n''t you_ see_?"
32401Do you blame her?
32401Do you mean it''s a really, truly haunted house?
32401Do you really mean it, Lyddy?
32401Do you really think he''s gone to try to buy the farm of her?
32401Do you s''pose horses would eat it, too?
32401Do you suppose we could do better in the country?
32401Do you think it is the smoke? 32401 Do you think the house is in very bad shape inside?"
32401Do you think you would be suited with the accommodations we have to offer?
32401Does Jane Hammon''really want to sell the farm?
32401Does he want to buy the farm?
32401Foolish; is n''t it?
32401For Hillcrest?
32401Getting wet down here some; are n''t you?
32401Have n''t we got the old buzz- wagon right here? 32401 Have you had the doctor for father?"
32401He''s better?
32401How about the desk, Professor?
32401How about the woman who wrote you a second time?
32401How do I know? 32401 How does it look to ye-- eh?"
32401How long has he been this way, Lyd? 32401 How much do they offer you for the farm, Mrs. Hammond-- if that''s not a rude question?"
32401How much insurance have you, Lyddy?
32401How much you vant, den?
32401How''s your father?
32401How, please?
32401How?
32401Huh? 32401 I do n''t know whether he really has found what he has been looking for----""And that is?"
32401I do n''t suppose you-- or any of your folks-- were up here last night, Lucas?
32401I guess you''re in a mess over there-- eh?
32401I have astonished you; have I?
32401I hear tell you''ve got school teacher for a boarder, too? 32401 I know,"breathed''Phemie;"but what_ will_ he do?"
32401I mean your financial circumstances?
32401I reckon you expect to stay a spell?
32401I thought you did n''t care what people thought of you here?
32401I wanter know what ye mean to do up there on the old Polly Phelps place?
32401I''m going in with you, Miss Lyddy-- if you do n''t mind?
32401If you refuse to put in a crop for us?
32401In grandfather''s will?
32401In the east wing?
32401Is he a professor?
32401Is it a joke-- or a puzzle?
32401Is it true you gals have saved that poor old critter from the farm?
32401Is n''t it?
32401Is n''t that strange?
32401Is that the truth, Harris Colesworth?
32401Is that where you''re bound-- to the Widow Harrison''s?
32401Is this the one, Miss''Phemie?
32401Is_ that_ his name?
32401Is_ that_ who is making her trouble?
32401It seems rather discourteous to leave before the entertainment was over-- unless you are ill?
32401Lucas,she said,"you have been very kind to bring us here; but I want to ask you to take us home early; will you?"
32401Me, Miss? 32401 Mineral deposits?"
32401Miss Bray, I have no doubt?
32401No?
32401Not a big load; air they?
32401Not at Easthampton?
32401Now if you had your straw cuffs you''d look just as you used to----"At the shop, eh?
32401Now, is n''t he a nice boy?
32401Oh, it was; eh?
32401Oh, they did n''t get too hot?
32401Oh, well, that may be nothing----"What bottles?
32401Oh, what have you got?
32401Oh, why not?
32401Oh, you will, eh?
32401On Saturday night? 32401 On the road to be a millionaire; are you, Lucas?"
32401Perhaps she has a cold?
32401Run away?
32401Sairy?
32401Shall we ride in it? 32401 She''s not ill?"
32401So she turns her part of the contract over to you two chits of gals; does she?
32401So you claim Napoleon as your friend; do you, Miss''Phemie? 32401 So you got it; did you, young man?"
32401So you_ did_ notice me a bit when you were working around the little kitchen of that flat?
32401So_ them_ stuck- up things air goin''to live''round here; be they?
32401Somebody who tried to call on us?
32401Spink?
32401Stingy-- about what?
32401Summer boarders?
32401Suppose he never comes out of that hospital?
32401Suppose_ this_ ceiling falls, too?
32401Take ye in? 32401 The door of the east wing?"
32401The man who lived here at Hillcrest when he was a boy?
32401Then I''d like to know what you yelled so for-- if the mouse has disappeared?
32401There are no stoves in the house, I suppose?
32401Twenty dollars?
32401Unless you want him for something further, Miss''Phemie?
32401Well, is it mine?
32401Well, why not?
32401Well, young man,said Mrs. Hammond, calmly,"I expect you know what you have done?
32401Well-- how did it come into Spink''s hands?
32401Well?
32401What are those trees at one side, near the house?
32401What are your circumstances, Miss Bray?
32401What d''you say, girls-- what d''you say?
32401What do you mean, Aunt Jane?
32401What do you mean, girl?
32401What do you think was in them?
32401What do you want for your incubator?
32401What for? 32401 What if?"
32401What is it? 32401 What is it?"
32401What is that?
32401What is the matter with father?
32401What key?
32401What might ye be meanin''?
32401What of it?
32401What other man?
32401What scared you so?
32401What under the sun does that fellow mean to do?
32401What under the sun is it Spink''s got up there?
32401What was he doing with them?
32401What will you pay?
32401What would your sister and mother say?
32401What''ll we fill it with?
32401What''s he got to do with it?
32401What''s it all about, Miss''Phemie?
32401What''s seven thousand dollars,demanded Master Tom, recklessly,"to putting the Indian sign on that Professor Spink?"
32401What''s that?
32401What''s that?
32401What''s the matter with those folks, Lyddy? 32401 What''s the matter with_ her_?"
32401What''s the matter, Miss''Phemie?
32401What''s the matter-- ye ai n''t sick; be you?
32401What''s the odds, as long as he''s here?
32401What?
32401What?
32401What_ are_ you talking about, Lucas?
32401What_ do_ you suppose he was about?
32401Where do you suppose I slept last night, Miss Bray?
32401Where does your aunt live, Miss Lyddy?
32401Where-- where is it,''Phemie?
32401Who are the people, daughter?
32401Who do you suppose they are?
32401Who had them?
32401Who is he?
32401Who would be likely to come here at night?
32401Why is it? 32401 Why not?"
32401Why not?
32401Why try to cross bridges before you come to them?
32401Why, could that be the Spink your Aunt Jane told me once made her an offer for the farm?
32401Why, what''s the matter, Lyd?
32401Why, who was it,''Phemie?
32401Why-- were you interested in that old desk I bought in?
32401Why-- what''s the matter, child?
32401Why-- why----"Will you take us home ahead of them all?
32401Why-- why----"You vas nodt insured-- yes?
32401Why----She surely is n''t angry because we went home early?
32401Why?
32401Will you come in and see what our accommodations are?
32401Will you let me have the key of the green door?
32401Will you look at who''s here?
32401Will-- will it cost much, Lucas?
32401Ye mean because teacher''s forgot she''s on airth?
32401You are Mr. Lucas Pritchett, I presume?
32401You are the house- mother-- eh?
32401You do not let any of the rooms in the east wing?
32401You follow the fires?
32401You got a trunk, ma''am?
32401You have some already?
32401You knew Mr. Spink when you were both boys; did n''t you?
32401You know, if we really got started in this game----"A game; is it? 32401 You mean you wo n''t tell me?"
32401You reckon_ that''s_ the party? 32401 You stopped for me, as I asked you to, Lucas?"
32401You surely have a stall to spare?
32401You think you could work yet?
32401You two girls goin''up to the old Polly Phelps house?
32401You wo n''t go back on me; will yer, Miss''Phemie?
32401You''re from Easthampton, too?
32401You''ve got the house full of boarders already; have you? 32401 You_ dare_ include me in any gossip of such a character, and I--""Well?
32401Your friend_ who_?
32401_ Me_ go down one o''them dinky little ladders-- and me with a hole as big as a half- dollar in the back of my stockin''? 32401 _ We_ like it; do n''t we?"
32401_ What?_cried''Phemie.
32401_ What?_shrieked Aunt Jane.
32401_ You_ could n''t leave it, Lyddy?
32401Ai n''t that so, Dad?
32401An''d''ye know the most important clause in his will, Miss?"
32401And I want simple living-- and country air----""And all these Rubes?"
32401And had the mystery finally brought Professor Lemuel Judson Spink to the house itself as a boarder?
32401And how much will you charge?"
32401And how''d we cook for''em over that open fire?
32401And then?
32401And what if''Phemie''s hair_ did_ get smoked and"smelly?"
32401And what is your sister''s name?
32401And what would we do for mattresses?
32401And why had n''t he gone away when he had been made the topic of many a joke about old Bob Harrison''s treasure trove?
32401Anything about_ me_ you do n''t like the look of?
32401Are n''t_ we_ glad to be here at Hillcrest?"
32401Are you afraid to stay here now?
32401Are you all alone but for him?"
32401As soon as they had got out of town she turned to''Phemie and said:"I expect you think I''m as queer as Dick''s hat- band, Euphemia?
32401As they went along the pasture trail, the younger girl suggested:"Do you suppose he could be making up another of his fake medicines?
32401Aunt Jane said we could do just as we pleased with things here; did n''t she?"
32401Boarders, eh?
32401Bray''; are you?"
32401Bray?"
32401Bray?"
32401But I would like to have you explain what your actions last night mean?"
32401But do n''t you tell; will yer?"
32401But how about eating?
32401But how can we even get out there, much more live till vegetables and chickens are ripe, on nothing a week?"
32401But suddenly-- when their kettles were near full--''Phemie jumped up with a shrill whisper:"What''s that?"
32401But suppose they''d been nasty about it and tried to make her go home with them?
32401But we may_ talk_ of an arrangement; may n''t we?"
32401But what have we to do with that?"
32401But why terrify Lyddy by saying anything about that awful thing?
32401Ca n''t I go, too?"
32401Ca n''t you see the fun of it!?"
32401Castle?"
32401Chadwick?"
32401Colesworth?"
32401Colesworth?"
32401Did n''t you tell me, Miss''Phemie, there were retorts and test- tubes, and the like, in your grandfather''s rooms?"
32401Did she hear a door creak?
32401Did that mean that Harris really thought he had a clue to the hidden treasure?
32401Did you ever in your life before even imagine such a freak?"
32401Did you expect to find Confederate notes in_ this_ one?"
32401Do n''t you remember,''Phemie?
32401Do n''t you see that Maw Pritchett thought-- or hoped-- that she had Mr. Somers nicely entangled with Sairy?
32401Do they actually live right there near where we did on Trimble Avenue?"
32401Don''dt you vant to sell de house- holdt furnishings?
32401Father has an idea, and if it''s_ so_----""Oh, what?"
32401Had he found the mineral spring quite by chance, and was he not still in doubt as to the wisdom of buying Hillcrest?
32401Have you got money enough in your purse?"
32401He has been ill a long time-- almost too sick to work----""Your father?"
32401He held forth a broad, grimed, calloused palm, and faintly exclaimed:"You''re Mis''Hammon''s nieces?
32401He''s got to help''em down out o''Lucas''s waggin''; has he?
32401How introduce him to Aunt Jane?
32401How were they to get to Hillcrest-- and live after arriving there?
32401How would they ever be able to creep up that inclined plane-- and four flights from the bottom of the shaft?
32401I am quite sure you never saw a person like me before?"
32401I wonder what makes drugs so nasty to smell of?
32401I-- I wonder if I have done right to take him as a boarder?"
32401I-- I wonder what Aunt Jane meant by saying that grandfather used to say there were curative waters on the farm?"
32401I-- I wonder what kind of a man old Mr. Colesworth can be?"
32401If it can be made to support us?"
32401If it will keep poor father out of the shop?
32401If there''s as much furniture and stuff in all as there is in these----""But how''ll we ever get the boarders?
32401Is my necktie crooked?"
32401Is n''t that mean?"
32401Is that so?"
32401Is the desk mine?"
32401It is n''t your stove that''s smoking so, I hope?
32401It wo n''t take so very much phosphate; will it?"
32401Just before Trent went, he asked:"By the way, what''s Jud Spink doing up this way so much?
32401Like those''Stonehedge Bitters?''
32401Marry him?
32401Mis''Hammon''s nieces, d''ye say?
32401Nobody whose home you would be welcome in?"
32401Nothing''s happened to-- to him?"
32401Now, how could you refuse a person as bold as that?
32401Now-- suppose it was found?
32401Perhaps you''ve heard of the Colesworths, Rufus?"
32401Pritchett?"
32401Pritchett?"
32401Pritchett?"
32401Pritchett?"
32401See that Joe Badger; will you?
32401She knew very well what had scared her; but why add to Lyddy''s fright?
32401Should she venture into the old doctor''s rooms?
32401So you''ll come?"
32401Spink?"
32401Spink?"
32401Suppose somebody picked up that key?
32401Suppose somebody was already in the offices?
32401That is your way home?"
32401The question now was: Had he satisfied himself as to these facts?
32401Then she began again:"And what''s the matter with John?"
32401Then you must be John Horrocks Bray''s gals-- ain''t ye?"
32401There''s a hatch there in the floor of the old doctor''s workshop----""A trap door?"
32401They-- er-- tell me, Miss Bray, that you intend to take boarders?"
32401This is no fashionable boarding house I''m going to, I s''pose?"
32401Was he dead?
32401Was somebody astir in the Colesworth quarters?
32401Was that a rustling sound?
32401We want to know what you will charge first-- for us and the things at the depôt?"
32401Were those distant steps she heard-- somewhere in the house?
32401What could she get for their soaked furniture?
32401What do you say?"
32401What do you suppose old Spink thinks about him?"
32401What does he want up here?"
32401What does the doctor say?"
32401What does the''L''stand for?"
32401What had frightened Mr. Rat away?
32401What if a black coal or two_ did_ snap over the cakes?
32401What is Spink''s intention?
32401What kind of hens do you favor, Miss Bray?"
32401What more is there to it?"
32401What should she say to him if he came in?
32401What was he after on the old farm where he had lived for some years as a boy?
32401What was it Lucas Pritchett had said about his father using the cellar under the east wing at Hillcrest?
32401What was the secret of the rocks?
32401What will Aunt Jane say?"
32401What''ll we do?
32401What''s''Phemie getting a week?"
32401What_ is_ it?"
32401What_ shall_ we do?"
32401Where could''Phemie have gone?
32401Who''s afraid of bottles?"
32401Why did n''t you send for me?"
32401Why had he come to Hillcrest to board, anyway?
32401Why not enter the lists in the land- wide struggle for summer boarders?
32401Why not fill the big house-- if they could?
32401Why-- why,_ where_ did you ever get those duds?
32401Will you take it-- and us?
32401Wo n''t you be our friend, Lucas?"
32401Would n''t we_ all_ love it-- father, too?
32401Would n''t you like it, Lyd?"
32401Yet, if everything was spoiled----"What''s the matter with him?"
32401Yet, what would bring Cyrus Pritchett-- or anybody else-- up here to the vinegar cellar at ten o''clock at night?
32401You could hang me up in that closet in the old doctor''s office in place of that skeleton----""What''s_ that_,''Phemie Bray?"
32401You''ll get us away from here and let Sairy have her chance at the schoolmaster?"
32401You''ll what?"
32401You''re not moving; are you?"
32401Your rooms are not yet all engaged, my dear young lady?"
32401do n''t you hear it?"
32401do you know the time, Lyd?
32401have n''t you anything else in your head but young men''s noses?"
32401he ca n''t keep his fingers out of our pie at any stage of the game; can he?"
32401he exclaimed, eagerly, yet bashfully,"you''re not going to try to cook over that open fire all this summer?
32401hear the water?"
32401is n''t it dusty?"
32401is that it?"
32401shouted Harris;"do n''t you want it?"
32401suppose I do offer you twenty- five for it, Mis''Harrison?"
32401what do you suppose is growing in those fields at this time of the year?"
32401what is it?"
32401what''s a view?"
32401what''s happened, Lyddy?"
32401what''s the matter with that Somers chap, too?"
32401what''s the use of talking?
32401what_ is_ the meaning of this masquerade?"
32401whatever is the matter, do you suppose?"
32401where''s your other rig?"
32401who ever heard of such a thing?"
32401who goes there?"
32401why_ not_ take him?"
32401you his grandchildren?
60273A good thing we have a sick member, is n''t it?
60273Age has nothing to do with love, has it?
60273Ai n''t he a perfect gentleman?
60273Ai n''t he polite?
60273Always granted, of course, dearest, but am I justified in saying it is my present plan if things do not interfere?
60273And can one-- man-- kill your faith in the sanctity of the ministry-- one man, Rosalie?
60273And how did the Problem take it?
60273And how do I look?
60273And how is the Blessing of the Manse?
60273And how is the Problem now?
60273And leave father?
60273And one morning--"Do n''t you ever sleep? 60273 And what have you been doing since that night?"
60273And what is our little General after now?
60273And what shall we wear?
60273And what were you wondering about the Crab?
60273And you can get lunch for yourself and the girls, ca n''t you, Rosalie dear?
60273Are n''t you hungry,''fath''? 60273 Are n''t you satisfied with Miss Carlton''s work?"
60273Are you joking?
60273Are you married?
60273Are you sure father wo n''t go trotting after her, and marry her on the sly?
60273Are you sure he is all right?
60273Are you tired, Treasure?
60273Arrest?
60273But how could one be a perfect stranger and still be very friendly?
60273But may n''t I wear the others-- just this afternoon?
60273But suppose you should miss a meeting?
60273But what am I to do?
60273But what in the world did you do, dear?
60273But whatever in the world will Rosalie say? 60273 But whatever will you say, father?
60273But when you tell your father, will he ask who brought them?
60273But wherever did you get the money?
60273But who is he?
60273But why should he leave you anything?
60273But you will not object if I go?
60273But, General--"If she is my company, you wo n''t get much punishment out of it, will you?
60273But, father, if the ministry ca n''t keep a man good-- what can?
60273By the way, who went nutting to- day, anyhow?
60273Ca n''t we give''em to the heathen? 60273 Ca n''t you make it eight?"
60273Ca n''t you play that up?
60273Can you assure me of success?
60273Can you beat that? 60273 Can you drive off to the side?"
60273Can you ever forget the hand that jerked you out of dreamland in the middle of the night?
60273Can you truly sneak us in without any one catching us?
60273Could I have a regular evening dress, V in the back and no sleeves?
60273Could you know him in the second point if you did n''t know him anywhere else?
60273D-- on''t you like her?
60273Davison?
60273Did all the rest of the class go except Alicia?
60273Did n''t I do a quick job, General? 60273 Did n''t he have a handsome imported Italian pipe?
60273Did you do it-- well? 60273 Did you do this for me?"
60273Did you ever hear such a thing in your life?
60273Did you ever try?
60273Did you have a nice time, Doris?
60273Did you persuade her?
60273Did you really have to walk home?
60273Did you take the Sunday ones with you?
60273Did you think they could really arrest us-- preachers? 60273 Did you want something?"
60273Did you wear your calf- skin shoes to school this morning?
60273Do I have to brush myself down before dinner?
60273Do I have to sit up all night just because the car is coming to- morrow?
60273Do n''t I know it? 60273 Do n''t I_ always_ come?
60273Do n''t you know you are not allowed to wear your Sunday shoes to school?
60273Do n''t you mean still?
60273Do n''t you think you''d better pull off to the side of the road a little? 60273 Do we have to go to school?"
60273Do you cut up in Sunday- school, Treasure?
60273Do you mean she is giving up the class, father?
60273Do you want some chocolate?
60273Does n''t he allow you to dance?
60273Does n''t it look nice, Doris?
60273Doris? 60273 Ducky?
60273Er, father, when will you break it to Miss Carlton?
60273Father is at a wedding, and-- Who is the cross old bear, anyhow?
60273Father, I ask you frankly, as man to man, is it wrong to dance?
60273General-- I-- may I confide something-- in you?
60273Going to sleep all day?
60273Has the butterfly of the fold been in any new mischief since the dance?
60273Have n''t you something to read?
60273Have you decided about the meetings yet, Brother?
60273Have you got the money, father?
60273He can preach, ca n''t he? 60273 He-- what?"
60273Here, Mrs. Andrieson, ca n''t we tuck these shoulder bands back a little?
60273Honestly?
60273How can I help?
60273How could you do it? 60273 How did you learn that?"
60273How do we look, father?
60273How do you know he will come out from the anesthetic?
60273How was the party? 60273 How?
60273However did you come to call me up?
60273However did you get away out there, anyhow?
60273I am to do that, too, am I?
60273I have worked all my life-- every day crowded full to overflowing-- Now everything is going, and-- How shall I fill the days?
60273I think I told you, did n''t I, that I have to go to Chicago myself this week to arrange for the publishing of the new book? 60273 I was just wondering how he comes to have things fixed so lovely?
60273I wonder how the Problem will take it? 60273 I wonder what happened?
60273I-- Do you think I am too young to fall in love?
60273I? 60273 Is he married?"
60273Is n''t he funny and bright?
60273Is n''t it funny how regular bishops are, when you get to know them?
60273Is n''t it funny, the less there is to a dress, the more there is to the cost? 60273 Is n''t it lovely and cool to- day, father?"
60273Is n''t she coming down at all?
60273Is n''t she dramatic?
60273Is n''t she? 60273 Is n''t that ducky?"
60273Is n''t that grand? 60273 Is she gone, General?"
60273Is the garage gone, too?
60273Is this Miss Artman? 60273 Is this the whole family?"
60273It was not your Sunday- school class, was it?
60273It was that Curious Cat-- You know, Doris, the one who made the Corduroy Crab be good to us--"The Curious Cat? 60273 Let''s go out for a spin in the motor, shall we?
60273May I speak now, please? 60273 May we make some candy, Doris?
60273Men are all alike, are n''t they? 60273 Mercy, General, are you brave enough to tackle that?"
60273Mercy, are you holding hands?
60273No, not--"Goody!--Doris, do you think she-- has her eye on father?
60273No? 60273 Now tell me the truth, have you thought of me once since the da-- party?"
60273Now, what are my ambitions?
60273Oh, Rosalie, dear, do you still-- er-- wonder if you are too young to fall in love-- with a senior?
60273Oh, Rosalie, is your faith so small? 60273 Oh, Rosalie, you bad little girl, what have you done?
60273Oh, father, not you-- how can you think that? 60273 Oh, father, you knew it-- and you did n''t try to find us?"
60273Oh, that is nice of you, Bud, and I know I should have loved it, but you see how it is, do n''t you?
60273One post- mortem virtue like this will cover a lifetime of delirium tremens, wo n''t it?
60273Please, Mr. Wizard, may I ride in front?
60273Rosalie, do you think I am out of my head?
60273Rosalie, my little girl, have I-- done something?
60273Rosalie, what will the bishop think?
60273Send her up to me, will you? 60273 Shall I help you get it?
60273Shall I teach you some of the new steps, Doris? 60273 Shall I tow you back to town?"
60273She is Problem enough now-- what will she be a little later on?
60273Simple, is n''t it?
60273So, after seeing the cow, and she is a beauty-- I said,''How about the car? 60273 Still mending, dear Doris?"
60273Suppose we go on to the Haunted House, and let the old grouch give us some tea? 60273 The bishop came home with me, and--""Do n''t I know it?"
60273The car?
60273The doctor will not let father go in the car, and how can we get there the same minute?
60273The what?
60273Then I take it that my efforts along this line do not meet with your disapproval?
60273Then it is all settled, is n''t it?
60273Then may we wire the girls now-- that he is all right? 60273 Then since it was her own free will, I suppose you feel it was predestined, do n''t you?"
60273Then why, please?
60273Then you do not always believe in-- turning the other cheek?
60273There may be some other decent ones besides you-- but how can I tell which ones they are? 60273 There you are-- isn''t that gratitude for you?"
60273They all come praying, and saying sweet and gentle things-- how can you tell which ones are true and which ones-- are like Boltman?
60273Was I the trouble?
60273Was it the whole class?
60273Well, Alicia works on Saturday morning, but she is off in the afternoon, is n''t she? 60273 Well, General, speak up, how about it?"
60273Well, can you beat that?
60273Well, for that matter, why should n''t he? 60273 Well, it is-- Why, nothing special, child, what made you think--""You have n''t gone and proposed to Miss Carlton, have you?"
60273Well, since the naughty sister has involved the family in disgrace, why do n''t you support her, and have a good time yourself?
60273Well, what do you think of that? 60273 Were you going up to change your shoes?"
60273Were you the most beautiful ones there? 60273 What are you talking about?"
60273What can I do? 60273 What did he have?"
60273What did you do, father? 60273 What did you do?"
60273What do you mean-- like a preacher?
60273What do you think, father?
60273What else?
60273What happened?
60273What in the world are you two doing, whispering back there in the corner?
60273What in the world did he mean by''Much obliged''?
60273What is it?
60273What is it?
60273What is the matter with her?
60273What is the matter? 60273 What is the matter?
60273What is the trouble, anyhow? 60273 What makes you think that?"
60273What shall we do now, Doris? 60273 What shall we do now?"
60273What shall we do then, Doris? 60273 What shall we do with the little girls?"
60273What were you doing, Babe?
60273What were_ you_ doing all the time, Miss Zee?
60273What will he say to these carryings on? 60273 What, all of you?"
60273What?
60273Where did you come from? 60273 Where did you leave the car?"
60273Where is Miss Carlton?
60273Where is Miss Carlton?
60273Where is your father?
60273Where was it?
60273Wherever did you learn that?
60273Who are you talking about?
60273Who is that in Deacon Fenton''s pew?
60273Who is the General?
60273Who-- are-- you?
60273Whoever heard of such a thing? 60273 Why are you asking so many questions?
60273Why ca n''t we go to the wedding with him? 60273 Why could n''t it have been a banker''s, who could buy another?
60273Why did n''t you ask him?
60273Why did n''t you just say I could n''t go-- I never disobey you, do I? 60273 Why do n''t you go to the meadow and pick some goldenrod?"
60273Why do n''t you know her, if she is in your class?
60273Why in the world does he always say we are too young to drive? 60273 Why not?
60273Why should I be tired?
60273Why should_ our_ car be stolen?
60273Why so mushy?
60273Why, Mr. MacCammon, you would not want to win your heart''s desire too easily, would you? 60273 Why, Rosalie, whatever put such a notion as that into your head?"
60273Why, Treasure, is n''t she your teacher? 60273 Why, Treasure-- Why, I_ did_ go to sleep, did n''t I?"
60273Why, how do you do?
60273Why, my dear little girl, do you think I was hard on the old bird? 60273 Why, my dear old fellow,"said the doctor in an annoyed tone,"do you think I am a miracle man?
60273Will you be busy the whole afternoon, father?
60273Will you come up?
60273Would it shock the church if we put her on the stage?
60273Would n''t that be sure to happen on a bishop morning?
60273Would n''t they love that? 60273 Would n''t your father give in?"
60273Yes, and what is the grand idea?
60273Yes, dear, what? 60273 Yes; do you mind?"
60273Yes? 60273 Yes?"
60273Yes?
60273You are n''t going to get home until the storm is over, are you?
60273You are sure you have time? 60273 You bad General, she is gone already, is n''t she?"
60273You do n''t mean-- is there anybody-- There ca n''t be any one--"Has she told you about the bishop?
60273You do n''t suppose father would let them talk him into taking the silly old cow, do you?
60273You do not seem absolutely essential to their happiness, do you?
60273You have been-- what? 60273 You invited an author and a psychologist and a philosopher to dinner to- night?"
60273You knew it would hurt her feelings if she found it out, did n''t you?
60273You run up- stairs and talk about me, will you? 60273 You think I wo n''t be happy staying where father wants me, and filling father''s need?"
60273You think it is quite all right for me to go then, Doris?
60273You thought I had n''t noticed? 60273 Your father brought me home with him to spend the night.--Isn''t he here?
60273A moment later she gave a gleeful little cry,"Oh, truly, Bud, would you enjoy that?
60273A pretty enough girl, and dresses well-- but what could we do with her on a nutting party?"
60273And Boltman said,''Wo n''t you pray with me, Brother?''
60273And Doris did not sleep that night-- although she hated herself for being so sorry over such a little thing as-- Well, as what?
60273And I was going to say this-- are you planning to go to Chicago with your father?"
60273And a nice enough girl, too-- but whatever can we talk about for eighteen hours?"
60273And as Treasure insisted,"Doris is a lovely thing, in spite of being a general, and why should n''t the bishop enjoy a manse for a change?"
60273And ca n''t you ask Arthur Gooding to come?
60273And do you suppose the colored man is his servant?
60273And do you think he bought this place?
60273And has n''t he any wife?
60273And have you lost all confidence in the ministry?"
60273And he does n''t look like a worker-- I mean a hard worker-- Is n''t it ridiculous?
60273And he was too young to be"supered"--how could he step aside for the rest of his life?
60273And how could he rest, with four young girls to keep going?
60273And if Rosalie so much as smiles I''ll never do it--""Say, do you think I am an infidel?"
60273And pop corn?"
60273And then he added wistfully,"Do you still have that feeling of abhorrence for-- us preachers?"
60273And then the other fellow-- I wonder who in the world he was?"
60273And there was a small silver basket of chocolates on the table--"Is n''t that lucky?"
60273And they knelt down-- What did father say in his prayer, Treasure?
60273And when I saw how Nora felt, I told her over and over it was a college affair, did n''t I, Treasure?"
60273And where in the world did he come from?
60273And who but a serious sensible girl would ever dream of bandying with a bishop?
60273And why do you whisper?
60273And why does he stay out of sight-- he ought to come and eat with us, since we are company?"
60273And you all love her, do n''t you?"
60273Are n''t the girls home yet?
60273Are n''t the girls in sight?
60273Are n''t these preachers the limit?
60273Are you going to get up-- Have you got the water, Treasure?"
60273Are-- we-- as poor as that?"
60273Be kind now, and get into more morning difficulties so I may laugh at you, will you?"
60273Boltman?"
60273But I wonder if you ca n''t get another man and come and help us make candy?"
60273But as they were getting into bed, she said suddenly,"Is n''t that Zee the shrewd one, though?"
60273But how in the world came the car safely back in the manse garage?
60273But since that avenue of fame is closed, what shall I do?
60273But what difference does it make to you how many affections he has?"
60273But why do these other men take the privilege of deciding things for the rest of us?"
60273But would I get pleasure enough out of the doing to make it worth my while?
60273But would n''t Miss Doris come with him for a run through the park, and along the lake front?
60273CHAPTER II THE PROBLEM"General, did you ask father if we may go to the Country Club da-- party?"
60273CHAPTER III THE IMP"Why, Zee, however did you happen to get here ahead of time?"
60273CHAPTER V THE WILL"Father, are you studying, or are you plain fidgeting?"
60273Ca n''t we tuck it under a little more?
60273Ca n''t you steady her up a little?"
60273Ca n''t you take anything impersonally?
60273Can I help you?"
60273Come on, MacCammon, do n''t you need a tonic?"
60273Could Treasure, the sweet, cause agony to any young shepherdess of the Sunday- school flock?
60273Did I save you?
60273Did Rosalie flirt?
60273Did all the men fall down at her feet stone dead?"
60273Did he make a date with you?"
60273Did n''t I have to preach his funeral sermon-- hardest job of my whole ministry?"
60273Did n''t you ask if I knew him?"
60273Did n''t you notice how sensible she looked this morning?
60273Did something happen?"
60273Did the women wear low- necked dresses?
60273Did they dance?
60273Did you ever hear of such a thing?
60273Did you ever see a father like him?"
60273Do n''t you think Doris could teach me at home this year?"
60273Do n''t you?"
60273Do they know more about it than we do?
60273Do they make shoes to music now?"
60273Do we have to wait for anybody?"
60273Do you live in this part of town?"
60273Do you remember, Doris, away last fall, when you said I must begin to solve my problems for myself?
60273Do you suppose we could manage it, father?"
60273Does father go to the Sessions to- night?
60273Does the seat slope over to that corner?
60273Doris, will you ask father if we may go to the Country Club da-- party next week?
60273Father, if he did leave you a thousand dollars, will you buy me a pair of two- tone gray shoes, twelve dollars?
60273For do n''t you think I see that we preachers have to make things easier for folks, instead of harder?"
60273For the bishop dropped Doris''hand hurriedly and turned to her-- What in the world could the church be thinking of, to have bishops as young as that?
60273Had you a pleasant ride?"
60273Has anything gone wrong?
60273Has n''t your religion taught you that things work out just right for-- men-- like your father-- who are whole- souled and pure- minded?"
60273Has somebody else left you a will?"
60273Have n''t you noticed, Rosalie, that blessings are very, very frail?
60273He does not know me, does he?
60273He says,''Did n''t you see that sign,"No Trespassing"?''
60273He seemed to be paying close attention to father-- Whoever in the world could he be?
60273He was not a farmer, I am sure-- he wore a silk shirt, did you notice that, Treasure?
60273How can I answer so many questions?
60273How can I preach those weeks when I can not study?"
60273How can anybody find out about such a curious old-- Curious Cat?"
60273How can anybody tell?"
60273How can they decide?
60273How do men economize, anyhow?
60273How does it come that you always see me some ghastly hour in the morning?
60273How soon do you plan to have the operation on your eyes?
60273How_ could_ we go, Rosalie?
60273I am going out to the garage-- come along, will you?"
60273I am twenty years old, and very, oh, tremendously mature, do n''t you think so?"
60273I certainly have good shoulders if ever-- if ever--""If ever what?"
60273I could handle it as one form of physical development, and if the naughty things took it into the ballroom it would n''t be my fault, would it?"
60273I just talked, and we talk to everybody, do n''t we-- we preachers?"
60273I know where you live, and that is a beginning, is n''t it?"
60273I never give up, do I?"
60273I suppose you do not feel particularly drawn to any religious work, missionary, or-- or pastor''s assistant, or anything like that?"
60273I thought,''How can God allow such a monster to go about preaching His gospel?''
60273I want you to do whatever you want to, but-- How many are going?"
60273I was just--""Pardon the interruption-- but do you mind telling me by what particular form of endearment you designate me?"
60273I wonder what that bad little Rosalie is at now?"
60273I wonder where he got the money?
60273I wonder who told her?
60273I''ll bet they were the thorn in the flesh Peter talked about-- or was it Paul?
60273If a preacher could n''t take care of himself, who could?
60273Is Doctor Hancock the very best you can get?
60273Is it a bargain or not?
60273Is it my little girl?"
60273Is n''t it a good thing I know you?
60273Is n''t it strange,"she said to Rosalie,"that somehow the naughtier folks act the sweeter they seem?"
60273Is n''t that like a preacher?"
60273Is n''t that too bad?"
60273Is n''t the Curious Cat a darling not to tell you?
60273Is supper ready?
60273Is that all the ministry stands for?
60273Is there anything I can give up, or go without?
60273Is your sweetheart dancing too often and too tenderly with your lovely friend?"
60273It is all right to say it is up to me-- but who can take a puff of thistledown like Zee and steady it?
60273It was all your fault--""Bishop?
60273Let''s raid the pantry, shall we?
60273Look out and see if there is any one around, will you?
60273May I come in and deliver it?"
60273May I come in?
60273May we go over to Grahams''?"
60273May we have a cup of tea on the porch in a hurry?"
60273Maybe if I looked sickish you would call me a blessing, too?"
60273Miss Doris-- Do you recognize my voice?"
60273Now is that wrong?"
60273Now what else?"
60273Now, you drive the car down the road to the rustic gate, and--""Who, me?
60273Oh, Treasure, you''d better drive it off to the side of the road-- and--""Who-- me?
60273Oh, but was n''t she glad father had stipulated they should spare no expense?
60273Oh, father, what was his name?"
60273Oh, shucks, what is a bishop?
60273Oh, there come--""Rosalie, I want to ask you-- Do n''t you think we ought to get along without Miss Carlton now?
60273Only I have n''t noticed any married women finding you so irresistibly handsome, and fascinating, and all that, have you?
60273Or a bad man''s, who did not deserve one anyhow?
60273Or a sick man''s, who could n''t enjoy it?
60273Or do I imagine it?
60273Please get in quickly-- yes, here in front-- oh, this seat slopes toward the middle, does it?
60273Please, fair Zee, may I borrow this bonny blue ribbon to wear in my golden locks?
60273Prospects, please?"
60273Rosalie was dazzling-- did you ever dream that I could dazzle anything?
60273Run up and ask father, dear, wo n''t you?
60273See?
60273Sha n''t we, father?"
60273Shall I be a teacher-- and if so, a teacher of what?
60273She is rather hard to evade, is n''t she, dearest?"
60273So why could n''t you and Rosalie go up and take my apartment for a week, and I can stay with Johnson?
60273Tell me one thing-- does the promise still hold good about the new shoes-- that they are to be finer and softer than these when they are worn out?"
60273The driver leaned over the door of his car and asked pleasantly:"Are you in trouble, girls?
60273Then Treasure turned upon them, and said,"Why, you here?
60273Then is it all settled that we take turns giving thanks when father is away?
60273Then it is all over, and you are still glad and proud to be one of''Us Preachers,''are you?"
60273Then she added brightly,"So I must never dance any more?"
60273Then you truly think it is-- dangerous, or wrong, or unwise, or something?"
60273This fellow--""Fellow, father?"
60273This is no time to throw up your weaknesses, is it?"
60273Thought I had n''t noticed-- Why, how could I help it?"
60273Treasure, do n''t you think maybe father would let us drive if we could prove to him that we know how?
60273Walter Dwight had some candy, and he passed it to me, and I was eating it--""In school?"
60273Was anybody dazzled?
60273We might trust the fathers of the church a little, do n''t you think?"
60273Well, as I was saying, do you think I''d better tie you in before you decide you are n''t?
60273Were there any members there?
60273What ails the man?
60273What are we coming to, anyhow?"
60273What bishop?
60273What can I do for you?"
60273What can I give up?"
60273What could it be, she wondered?
60273What did I know about your old picnic?
60273What did you have to eat?"
60273What did you say?
60273What difference does it make to you who went?
60273What do you suppose he did?
60273What ever in the world is the matter with you?"
60273What have you been doing?"
60273What in the world would the bishop think of her?
60273What is it?"
60273What shall I do with them?"
60273What, did n''t I tell you?
60273What-- did-- you-- say?
60273Whatever in the world do you suppose he eats?"
60273Whatever made you think of the Sunday- school class anyhow?"
60273Whatever were they going to have for breakfast?
60273Whatever would your poor father do with that devilish little red car?
60273When Rosalie came to find her, she said she was tired and nervous-- Would n''t Rosalie say good night for her, and tell him how kind he had been?
60273Whence do I come?
60273Where in the world do you learn all that silly stuff?"
60273Where in the world had father gone?
60273Where is Miss Carlton?
60273Where is the money for gas?
60273Where''d we get him?
60273Where''s he at?
60273Which do you want?"
60273Who am I?
60273Who in the world can he be?
60273Whoever heard of an impecunious minister taking an expensive auto in preference to a money- making cow?
60273Why all the exclamations at me?"
60273Why am I here?
60273Why did he claim to be a wizard, and boast of fairy powers, if he could not see there was a damsel out in search of him?
60273Why do n''t you appear about three in the afternoon, when I am nicely brushed and have on a fresh dress, and look like a preacher?"
60273Why do n''t you take a walk?"
60273Why had he brought a bishop into their home, and put him to bed, and then sneaked off and left him there?
60273Why is it always we preachers who get the raw deal?"
60273Why should we leave it to other men that we do n''t know?
60273Why, do you know, for a while, I actually held God responsible for that creature?
60273Why, where is he?
60273Why, you would hardly believe we are both feminine, would you?"
60273Why?"
60273Will you come and meet father?"
60273Will you have something a little bit kind of extra nice for supper?"
60273Will you see?
60273Will you try not to be ashamed of me?"
60273Wo n''t father be pleased?"
60273Wo n''t she be here for dinner?"
60273Wo n''t we have the laugh on them when we come driving up to the door?"
60273Would anybody but old Davison ever think of leaving a preacher anything in his will?"
60273Would n''t it be lovely to lie around here a whole day, Zee?
60273Would she?
60273Would you consider that a compliment?"
60273Ye gods, are n''t some folks blind?
60273You are Miss Doris, are n''t you?
60273You are sure there is nobody clamoring for you to come and cut them to pieces?"
60273You do n''t mean to say father brought a bishop here without a week''s notice?
60273You do not have any money for yourself at all, do you?
60273You do not think he is going to die, do you?"
60273You had the gas thing in the middle instead of the sparker thing--""Oh, sure enough, was n''t that silly?"
60273You know we have a skeleton in the physiology department now-- I told you, did n''t I?
60273You see how it is, do n''t you?
60273You talk to her, will you?
60273You''ll forgive me, wo n''t you?"
60273Your father really consented to this arrangement, did he?"
60273[ Illustration:"Let''s talk it over, father"]"Oh, Doris,"he cried brokenly, dropping his head on her arm and holding her very close,"do you know?
60273_ A BACHELOR HUSBAND_ Can a woman love two men at the same time?
60273_ THE PHANTOM LOVER_ Have you not often heard of someone being in love with love rather than the person they believed the object of their affections?
43109About Ermine?
43109About your sisters you mean?
43109Am I not one of the young ladies then?
43109And I may claim the next but one then, I hope?
43109And Madelene?
43109And Philip?
43109And is your chaperone quite inexorable? 43109 And leave you alone for all the home worries?
43109And now-- where is the child?
43109And that was all?
43109And what did Mrs Robertson say?
43109And what do you propose to do then, my dear?
43109And what news of Philip, aunt? 43109 And what was that?"
43109And why do you speak to Madelene in that tone? 43109 And why should that upset her?"
43109Are these diamonds, godmother?
43109Are you afraid of going out alone?
43109Are you feeling ill, Ella?
43109Are you glad Ermine is married?
43109Are you here, Madelene? 43109 Are you in earnest, Ella?"
43109Are you in earnest, Philip?
43109Are you not going to ask me to dance to- night?
43109Are you speaking of Lady Cheynes, my godmother?
43109Are you sure,he said,"that Mrs Robertson may not already have explained things to Ella?
43109Aunt Phillis,she began,"have you nothing more to tell me?
43109Aunty,she said breathlessly,"please look at it,"and she held out the letter,"am I making some strange mistake?
43109Because of Ella?
43109Bless the child, what does Philip care what I wear?
43109But about the singing?
43109But if Bernard agreed to give up his profession and come and live here?
43109But if so, he''s not likely to admire_ me_, so why do they want to keep me out of his way, as I see they do? 43109 But should you like that as well as being abroad?"
43109But when you_ knew_ that was n''t true-- up to this morning even, why were you so strange and cold to me?
43109But who in the world is she, and whom can she have come with? 43109 But why were you running so?
43109But you do n''t count granny and me strangers, I hope?
43109But you made her promise not to write home or anything of that kind, Fraulein? 43109 But, Ella, how can you say such things?
43109But, my dear child, what are you thinking of-- what is everybody thinking of to allow it?--you sitting up here in the cold on a bitter day like this? 43109 But,"as at that moment the little girl and her father joined them,"do n''t you think you had better return to your own character now?
43109But,she went on,"will she understand?
43109Ca n''t the gardeners do that?
43109Can papa have decided I am not to go, and can they be looking so pleased on that account?
43109Can papa have met with an accident?
43109Can they-- Madelene at least, for after all it is she that is looking the cheeriest,_ can_ she be so horrid?
43109Can we not have a little music?
43109Can you understand her?
43109Certainly-- you are sure you have no cold? 43109 Darning stockings!--hum-- can''t one of the maids do that for you?
43109Dear Ella,he said with genuine distress in his voice,"how can you mistake me so?
43109Dear me, running races, are they? 43109 Did I ever say it was n''t hard on him?"
43109Did she die before you were born then?
43109Did you go telling tales about my sitting up here in the cold then?
43109Did you know she was going to invite us?
43109Did you never tell your sisters how much you would have liked to go?
43109Did you not ask if you would find me scouring pots and pans if you came to see me? 43109 Did you not know your grandmother has been here?"
43109Do I care for her, after all?
43109Do n''t be so silly, Philip,she said sharply;"why ca n''t you say plainly,` what are you laughing at''?
43109Do n''t you like West?
43109Do they fit you?
43109Do you mean taking week about of the housekeeping? 43109 Do you mean that he is a flirt?"
43109Do you mean, Maddie, that you think I am spoilt?
43109Do you mean_ my_ own mother?
43109Do you not agree with me?
43109Do you not care for that book?
43109Do you not feel well?
43109Do you often wear it?
43109Do you really think I sing well? 43109 Do you really think so?"
43109Do you sing then?
43109Do you think she feels it very much-- the leaving her aunt, and coming among strangers as it were?
43109Do you think there is any need for her to know anything about it for some time to come?
43109Do you want to teach the child to flirt?
43109Ella go? 43109 Ella, do n''t you remember Captain Omar-- Bernard Omar?"
43109Ella, my dear, you play I suppose-- or do you sing?
43109Ella,Philip repeated,"ca n''t you tell me-- can''t, you speak?"
43109Ella,he said,"do forgive me for harping on the subject, but do n''t you think all this might be put right?
43109Ella,said Ermine,"what do you mean?
43109Ella,said Madelene,"she was here an instant ago-- can she have run off?"
43109Ella,she said,"will you come with me at once to see papa?"
43109Ella?
43109Ermine, how can you be so thoughtless?
43109Ermine,she said, pausing at the door of her father''s room,"are you going to tell papa about Philip''s having been there last night?"
43109For the trick I played you, or helped to play you and Philip here the other evening? 43109 Forgiven you?"
43109Godmother,Ella repeated,"what do you mean?"
43109Godmother?
43109Good- bye then, till-- dinner- time, I suppose?
43109Granny, ca n''t they come over to us?
43109Had you done anything to irritate him?
43109Harvey,she said, and her tone, though not ungentle, was cold and even a very little haughty,"how is Miss Ella to- day?
43109Has she had her breakfast really?
43109Have they sent you for me? 43109 Have they?"
43109Have you asked papa, Madelene? 43109 Have you ever seen him, Ella-- your future brother- in- law-- Mr Guildford West?"
43109Have you got it in your pocket, Philip, or were you afraid of sitting down upon it and smashing it?
43109Have you had many bothers, poor Maddie?
43109He dances well, does n''t he? 43109 He is in the study, is n''t he, Hester?
43109Hester,she said,"what sort of person is Sir Philip Cheynes?
43109How could they indeed, knowing how unhappy they had made you, my darling?
43109How did you know of Ella''s arrival?
43109How did you like young Belvoir, by the by, Ella?
43109How do you know?
43109How is it? 43109 How old_ are_ you, Ella?"
43109How_ could_ I? 43109 I am afraid-- I hope we have not been trespassing?"
43109I am so tired of that linsey- woolsey frock of yours-- couldn''t you put a bit of scarlet about yourself somewhere? 43109 I have more than half an idea that you are going off out of cowardice, and-- and-- that all your regard for Ella''s feelings, etc, is--""What?"
43109I may meet you at some other dance before long, I hope?
43109I might retaliate-- why are you and Ermine not spoilt then?
43109I shall be dressed in ten minutes; there will be time to catch the early train, will there not?
43109I suppose my little box-- I only brought one quite small one with me-- may be brought up here?
43109I suppose to- morrow would n''t do? 43109 I suppose you could n''t get Bernard to do so?"
43109I will tell you all about it,she said,"but first tell me-- how is poor Ellen this morning?
43109I wo n''t have you crippling your income any more-- do you hear, Madelene? 43109 I wonder where they all go to?"
43109I wonder who she can be?
43109If so-- well-- what then? 43109 If there were,"she said to herself more than once,"would Madelene be vexed with him; as I am almost sure she is?"
43109In the library, do you say?
43109In the nursery,repeated Lady Cheynes with a comical expression,"but I do n''t expect you will stay there long, do you?"
43109Is any one in?
43109Is anything the matter?
43109Is he a prig?
43109Is it far from here where Ermine is going?
43109Is it my fault? 43109 Is it the shoes?"
43109Is it usual for sisters to be upon such terms? 43109 Is my godmother, Lady Cheynes, at home just now?"
43109Is she ever alone with you? 43109 Is she like her dear mother at all?"
43109Is she-- is Ella not-- not nice and gentle with you?
43109Is that what is making you look so pale, Ella?
43109Is the young-- is Miss Ella St Quentin in the library?
43109Is there any one who could go with me, do you think?
43109Is there anything the matter with your Aunt Phillis? 43109 Is there no bed in the-- the_ nursery_?"
43109It is a letter for the Indian mail then, I suppose?
43109It is not a bad plan?
43109It is time to be getting ready, I suppose?
43109Lady Cheynes lives near here, does she not? 43109 Maddie,"and he turned to Miss St Quentin appealingly,"do n''t you think she is too bad?
43109Madelene, are you very astonished to see me? 43109 Madelene,"he said hastily, handing both to her across the table,"did you know anything of this?"
43109May I come in? 43109 May I introduce a partner or two to you, Miss-- Miss Winton?"
43109May not Ella know where it is?
43109Miss Ella,she exclaimed,"whatever are you about?
43109Miss Ellison Winton,young Belvoir repeated to himself;"who in the world can she be?
43109My dear child what are you saying? 43109 My dearest child,"she exclaimed,"you can not seriously think such a step would be allowed?
43109My poor little girl,he ejaculated involuntarily,"do you really care so much about it?"
43109No one in particular, then?
43109No, of course not-- how could they? 43109 Nor you?
43109Not alone, Ella?
43109Not if I took you? 43109 Not like Omar?"
43109Not out, are you going to say, Maddie? 43109 Not remaining long in this part of the world?"
43109Not you, Ermine?
43109Nothing for me?
43109Oh no,said Ella sweetly, with a complete change of tone, as she turned to the stranger,"of course it was quite right for-- but-- are you Mr West?"
43109Oh, Hester,cried Ella, flying at the old servant, seizing her by the shoulders and whirling her round,"did you ever know anything so lovely?
43109Oh, I beg your pardon, Madelene, I do, indeed,he said,"wo n''t you forgive me?"
43109Oh, do you think so, Philip?
43109Oh, godmother, dear, will you kiss me? 43109 Oh, you horrid little girl,"she exclaimed,"why did n''t you tell me?"
43109Oh,Ermine exclaimed,"is_ he_ coming?
43109Oh,said Ella, looking a little mystified,"then should I call her aunt?
43109Papa ill-- he was much better?
43109Papa, will you speak to her yourself, and say you wish it? 43109 Papa?"
43109Philip, had n''t Ermine better come too?
43109Philip,she said half reproachfully in a low voice-- he was standing near her--"you promised me?"
43109Right in what? 43109 Roughing it,"what might that not mean?
43109Selfishness-- eh?
43109Sha''n''t I read anything to you? 43109 Shall I play a little in the first place?"
43109Shall I-- may I write in the library?
43109Shall we go this way?
43109Shall we kiss and be friends then-- eh, Phil?
43109She is eager to get out of my way,she thought,"and what wonder?
43109She is quite wonderfully pretty, and-- what is it? 43109 She sets up for a sort of` Fine Ear''in the fairy- story, do n''t you know, Philip?"
43109Shy?
43109Sir Philip, do you really mean it? 43109 Sit down for a minute or two, ca n''t you, my dear?"
43109So I have been told-- but-- do you think dead people''s wishes should be allowed to affect the welfare of the living to such an extent?
43109So you do n''t admire the stranger?
43109Supposing I were a_ fairy_ godmother, Ella, just for fun, you know, what would you ask me to do to cheer you up a little this dreary day?
43109Supposing I were to tell you you were to go to the dance at the Belvoirs''to- night after all?
43109That would be something new, would n''t it? 43109 Then are you Sir Philip Cheynes?
43109Then did they not send you? 43109 Then do you think she has brought the child up very simply?"
43109Then have you been here long?
43109Then tell them,Sir Philip began,--"oh no, by the by, you will not see the girls?"
43109Then they did n''t invite me this time?
43109Then why did you say it to me?
43109Then why should n''t I begin now? 43109 Then you are quite sure you wish me to go to- morrow to Cheynesacre?"
43109Then you did enjoy last night, my dear? 43109 Then you enjoyed yourself, Miss Ella?
43109Then you have forgiven me?
43109Then you will forbid his coming home, as he can now, I suppose?
43109Then,she went on,"will you tell me what you wish me to do while you are away?
43109They do n''t want me back again, then?
43109This morning?
43109Understand--did she not understand?
43109Upon my word, Madelene-- you knew this?
43109Was it about my-- about me that papa was upset, do you think, aunt?
43109Was n''t I right about him-- he is a nice gentleman, is n''t he?
43109Was your unmarried name St Quentin, then, god-- Lady Cheynes I mean?
43109Was_ that_ the reason of Granny''s strange freak?
43109We should not have come so early, perhaps, Cheynes?
43109Well, and what if they did?
43109Well, what can be more unusual than Ella''s case? 43109 Well?"
43109What are you talking about?
43109What can it be?
43109What can that be?
43109What conceivable reason is there why she should not go?
43109What did Mrs Ward say?
43109What do you mean by the real state of the case?
43109What do you mean, Ella? 43109 What do you mean, my dear?"
43109What do you mean?
43109What do you think, Ella? 43109 What do you want me to promise you, my dear?"
43109What does Mrs Robertson say to this escapade of Ella''s? 43109 What does that mean?"
43109What does_ she_ wish?
43109What have you been doing with yourself all day-- since your sisters left, I mean?
43109What in the world am I doing here?
43109What is it about waiting for an answer?
43109What is it, Aunt Anna?
43109What is it, Ermine?
43109What is it, papa?
43109What is it?
43109What is it?
43109What shall we do? 43109 What will they be doing to- night, papa?
43109What''s the matter, Phil?
43109What?
43109What?
43109What?
43109What_ can_ I do all day long?
43109When I am what you consider_ quite_` out,''Madelene, I may pay visits like this of hers, may n''t I?
43109When I get round again-- when the weather''s a little better, perhaps, could n''t we ask a few people? 43109 When I had the honour of being introduced to you,"he said stiffly,"I think I was told your name was Wyndham?"
43109When are you going to allow the poor girl to consider herself grown- up? 43109 When do Madelene and Ermine come home?"
43109When does she come?
43109Where are you going? 43109 Where have you been hiding yourself all this time?"
43109Where have you located her?
43109Where will you establish yourself, Lady Cheynes? 43109 Where will you go to- morrow when you leave this-- if-- if it is arranged for you to stay here to- night?"
43109While your sisters are away, you mean? 43109 Who can she be?"
43109Who is Philip?
43109Who knows?
43109Whose carriage was that?
43109Why can she not be like that to_ us_?
43109Why can you not answer Ermine''s question simply, Ella?
43109Why could you not stop at the right place, you foolish child?
43109Why did I ever come here?
43109Why must you always be so gloomy about everything? 43109 Why not, Ella?"
43109Why not?
43109Why should my aunt wish to see it?
43109Why should you say` unluckily''? 43109 Will Ermine have much while papa lives?"
43109Will they really go so far as to leave me all alone?
43109Will you be so kind,she began,"if it is not too much trouble-- would you mind taking this little parcel to my godmother?"
43109Will you come out for a little?
43109Will you dress in Ermine''s room, in preference to mine? 43109 Will you go to papa?"
43109Will you not take your constitutional in another direction?
43109Will you not tell them yourself?
43109Will you play something, Ella?
43109Will you see them for me, dear Fraulein?
43109Willie, Hetty, who is it crying? 43109 Wo n''t you get a salary then?"
43109Would you like a nice long walk, Ella? 43109 Would you like better to see papa alone?"
43109Would you like me to read to you, perhaps?
43109Would you like to wash your hands, and there''s a smut on your cheek? 43109 Would you mind--?"
43109Yes?
43109Yes?
43109You are going too?
43109You are not in earnest?
43109You did n''t meet Philip, then? 43109 You do n''t care for dancing, I suppose?"
43109You do n''t mean to say,he said laughingly,"that if I call upon you to- morrow morning I shall find you scrubbing the kitchen pots and pans?"
43109You do n''t think it would be difficult to get a situation such as I should be fit for?
43109You find it less tedious now, do you not?
43109You had a long talk with mamma first, and then you and papa had time to consider it all?
43109You know,she went on,"you have n''t forgotten that our sister-- Ella-- is with us?"
43109You look lovely,--doesn''t she now, Maddie?
43109You mean Ella, I suppose?
43109You mean about our money and this place?
43109You think so?
43109You were in time then to say good- night to your friends, I hope?
43109You will come over soon?
43109You will give me another dance, I hope?
43109You would like her to marry, would n''t you?
43109Your father is not ill?
43109_ Ella_?
43109_ Is_ anything the matter?
43109_ Miss Ella_,he repeated, with a sort of gasp;"you do n''t mean to say-- you ca n''t be little Ella St Quentin?"
43109_ Who_ can she be?
43109A horse was waiting at the gate, but scarcely had she called out to its rider--"You''ve been at the Manor; what message is there?"
43109Abroad again?"
43109All the same if my sisters did want me to go, why did n''t they ask papa-- he gave in the moment godmother tackled him?"
43109Am I to be quite alone with Mrs Green( the housekeeper) as chaperon?"
43109And after all-- if she does want Sir Philip to-- to care for Ermine, why should n''t she?
43109And now, darling, that I have explained things, supposing you get ready?
43109And she looks so, does she not, Maddie?"
43109And to what then are we indebted for this unexpected pleasure?"
43109And was there not something else you needed?"
43109And what about another waltz?"
43109And why should Ermine have refused, without even telling me?"
43109And wo n''t you come to my dressing- room after all, Ella, and let me feel that things are not uncomfortable for you?"
43109And you did enjoy yourself last night?"
43109And-- surely-- if you do want to sit up in your own room you can give orders to have a fire lighted, ca n''t you?"
43109Are you sure she''s gone, Ermie?
43109Aunty-- let me see your letter-- do they tell you too who it is?
43109Besides-- we might easily increase our life insurance, papa?"
43109But if this Mr what''s his name?"
43109But no-- how could it be so?
43109But oh, papa, you do n''t think Madelene will mind, do you?"
43109But who told you she was` such a child''?"
43109But why did godmother join in it?"
43109But why do you call me Lady Cheynes?
43109But you did n''t travel alone?"
43109But,"and her bewilderment took the same direction as his,"why did none of them introduce us properly?
43109But-- a child of-- how much?
43109But-- you''re not going to have her here any more, I hope, not now I''ve come back?"
43109But_ why_ did he?
43109Can I do anything for you, papa?"
43109Can I go at once?"
43109Could she bear it?
43109Dear me-- there is one with a Shenewood envelope for him-- whom can that be from?
43109Did Philip take good care of you at dinner, my dear child?"
43109Did she know I was your sister, as I did n''t come with you?"
43109Did she remember?
43109Did you not know?
43109Did you notice how she sees that my paper is always folded ready for me?
43109Did-- did Madelene''s messenger say nothing more?"
43109Do n''t you think we might have tea now, Maddie?
43109Do n''t you think you had better go to bed?
43109Do n''t you think, in the warm carriage-- if I doubled my shawl?"
43109Do tell me about it-- how did you know about it?
43109Do they want me to go home?"
43109Do you have her here?
43109Do you know I do believe Ella is here?"
43109Do you never feel that sort of way, Madelene?"
43109Do you remember the day she came, just when we had been talking it all over with Philip?
43109Do you remember?"
43109Do you think they will be dancing, just the party in the house, to try the floor, perhaps?"
43109Do you think_ that_ would mend matters?"
43109Do you want me to be actually unkind to your half- sister?
43109Do you want to get ill?
43109Do you-- would you_ dare_ to let me wear it?
43109Ella repeated;"what for, dear godmother?"
43109Ella, you will try to care for me, wo n''t you?"
43109Ella-- do you, no,_ could_ you ever get to care for me?"
43109Ermine especially, Madelene looked rather solemn-- does that child worry her much, do you think, Granny?"
43109Ermine leaves-- let me see, when is it?"
43109Ermine, what_ can_ have come over the child?
43109For if we had n''t met first as we did, perhaps-- who knows?--perhaps you would never have taken such a fancy to me?"
43109Had he made a mistake in the tone he had insisted upon being taken with Ella?
43109Had she a good night?"
43109Had she been frightened about her-- Ella-- then, and Ermine away?
43109Had she not seen Fraulein Braune?
43109Had you no idea I-- might perhaps come after all?
43109Harvey, do you hear?"
43109Have I left undone_ anything_ to make him give it up?"
43109Have I stayed too long?"
43109Have we all been very cruel to you, somehow?
43109Have you found it possible to carry out my suggestion and keep her in the schoolroom in the meantime?"
43109Have you packed up the frock?
43109Hester, what will my sisters say when they see me there?
43109How can I say what you''ll be?
43109How can he expect the child to get to love us?"
43109How could you wish to go back, where I can see and feel you have been so misunderstood and unhappy?
43109How did you know?
43109How do you mean?"
43109I am going up to see Ermine; shall I be admitted?"
43109I am not surprised or disappointed for,"--here she glanced at Philip--"won''t you tell them how it was?"
43109I can see that she is already very much attracted by Philip and--""Well?
43109I have a letter from Mrs Marchant-- did you know they had asked Ermine to stay there and that she had refused?"
43109I hope you have n''t been putting anything of the kind into her head?"
43109I meant to have given you a surprise; you did n''t expect me till next week, did you?"
43109I think-- Is it not a pity to keep them waiting?"
43109I thought it sounded so like the old Weevilscoombe fly-- and what_ could_ it be coming here for at this time?
43109I wish I could go a good long walk this morning, but I fear we must n''t think of it-- eh, Maddie?"
43109I wonder if my cousin, Sir Philip Cheynes, knows who she is?"
43109I wonder if my godmother wishes it too?
43109I wonder why he has not been over to see us?"
43109If it were the case after all that Madelene was not to blame?
43109If such an awful catastrophe happened as your both dying before me-- well,_ surely_ it would kill me?"
43109If-- if Madelene had had no fortune you do n''t suppose things would have been as they are for me?
43109Is Philip still there?"
43109Is he nice, or is he conceited and stuck- up, and-- flirting, you know-- that sort of a man?"
43109Is it from your Aunt Phillis?"
43109Is it not only that you are sorry for me?
43109Is it true-- is it not Sir Philip that Ermine is going to marry?"
43109Is it useless to appeal to you?"
43109Is n''t it fun?
43109Is not that it, Ella?
43109Is there no change then-- do you see no prospect of any?"
43109Is-- is Ermine to go, then?"
43109It is Millannie to do it, I suppose?
43109It is not like having a godchild of one''s own, never to see her, is it?
43109It was worth the trouble?"
43109It will do if I explain your absence, miss, when the Colonel comes in to luncheon?"
43109It''s about his time, is n''t it?"
43109Just this day or two?"
43109Let me see-- when do the Marchants want her?"
43109May I drive back with you, Aunt Anna?
43109May I run to tell him what mammy said?"
43109May I sing to you a little?"
43109May I-- dare I venture to inquire its cause?"
43109May she not be still in the cloak- room, perhaps?"
43109Mrs Rose, are you there?"
43109Must she stay to see it?
43109Nothing the matter with your aunt, I hope?"
43109Now think, have you everything else you need-- gloves-- shoes?"
43109Now what will you sing?
43109Now, what have you to put on over you?
43109Oh dear, I wish I had n''t quarrelled with old Burton and then I could have asked auntie to have me on a visit?"
43109Oh, Madelene, you_ will_ make papa let me stay, wo n''t you?"
43109Only-- did this mysterious person not tell you any news-- anything about Ermine?"
43109Philip ejaculated,"can it be one of my lady''s diamond pins?
43109Philip,"with a sudden thought,"if this is to be-- you and me, I mean-- will it make it easier for Madelene to marry Captain Omar?"
43109Shall I say you forgot them before?"
43109Shall we go to Cheynesacre, do you think, or will they come to us?"
43109She could n''t have told you about it when she had n''t told me?"
43109She would write to her Aunt Phillis-- surely she could trust_ her_?
43109She''s very pretty too, and knows how to set herself off, that little black frock with those fal- de- rals, rosettes-- what do you call''em?"
43109Should she tell of the loss at once?
43109Some day I hope Ella_ may_ see something of country- house society-- with_ me_ you would trust her?"
43109Suppose you go out and look for him?
43109Tell me, there is nothing wrong?
43109The door opening at last, Ella flashed round from the window-- was it the door, or her fancy only?
43109Then with a sudden impulse,"Sir Philip,"she said,"wo n''t you explain to me--_why_ wo n''t Madelene marry Captain Omar?
43109There are a few seats in the ball- room-- or would you prefer staying here?"
43109There is no reason why she should not go, is there?"
43109There is nothing wrong, I hope?
43109There was a gentleman there last night, do you know, Hester, that said I reminded him of Cinderella?
43109They belonged to your sis-- no, she could n''t have been your sister-- what was she to you, then, Clarice Cheynes?"
43109They were looking very well last night, did n''t you think so?
43109They''re not your own, are they?
43109Was Ermine chaffing her, or was this veiled sarcasm, or what?
43109Was he going after all to make out that she deserved lecturing for her innocent deception?
43109Was this mere childishness-- or-- were her fears for poor little Ella''s peace of mind already beginning to be realised?
43109Was this the first taste of the weary pain-- the sickness of heart which she herself had not yet grown innured to?
43109Well, what about him?"
43109Were you right to leave your aunt''s house as you have done?
43109Were_ you_ forced to go on with lessons when you thought you had done with them-- you and Ermine?"
43109What are we to do with her, Madelene?"
43109What are you making such grimaces about, Ella?"
43109What can be the matter?"
43109What could you possibly have to say against it?
43109What crotchet has Ermine got in her head about anything of the kind being` impossible''?
43109What did Madelene mean by speaking of"financial"complications?
43109What did Madelene''s messenger say to you?
43109What do you think, Jones, could we get a decent pair at Weevilscoombe?"
43109What does Ella want to know for?
43109What else in Heaven''s name can you do?"
43109What has Aunt Anna got to do with it?
43109What have you been talking about to papa?"
43109What human being, man, woman or child, was ever rendered more amenable to reason by being"put in the wrong?"
43109What in the world put such a thing in her head, and why was n''t I told?
43109What is her name-- she gave it, I suppose?"
43109What is it you want?"
43109What is money without affection?"
43109What news did you expect?"
43109What or who is it she reminds me of I wonder?
43109What other men did you dance with?"
43109What room are you intending Ella to have?"
43109What should she do?
43109What was she to do or say?
43109What would Aunt Anna say to it?"
43109What would that poor girl think if she could see it?
43109What''s put such a notion in your head?
43109What_ are_, you running away in that mad fashion for?"
43109When does your father come home?
43109When will Aunt Anna be back, Ermine?
43109Where could she have a better husband?"
43109Who ever said so?"
43109Who was"Omar"?
43109Whoever doubted it?"
43109Why am I made a-- a burden and a difficulty of?
43109Why did you behave so-- uncivilly to me this morning-- and before Omar, too?"
43109Why did you leave me as you did?
43109Why do n''t you go about more as it is?"
43109Why do you look so incredulous?"
43109Why is she not with you to- day?
43109Why not godmother, as in your letters?"
43109Why should n''t Ella marry Philip?"
43109Why should n''t I begin to learn?"
43109Why should n''t it do?
43109Why should_ she_ not marry?
43109Will he be turning up soon?"
43109Will that do as well, Miss Wyn--?"
43109Will you forget about it, and believe that I am very happy you had the pleasure?"
43109Will you forgive me?"
43109Will you let me stay with you for to- night?
43109Will you not enlighten me?"
43109Would Lady Cheynes like to see it, perhaps?"
43109Would n''t she be vexed at my knowing it?
43109Would the open air do you good?"
43109Would there be no use in trying to melt her-- suppose we do?"
43109Would you like to have yesterday night over again?"
43109Would you like to read my letter, aunt?--and may I see yours?
43109Would you mind telling where you found it?"
43109Would you not like to go out?"
43109Yet if not Miss Wyndham, who then?
43109You are dancing with him?
43109You are not Major Frost, are you?"
43109You ca n''t remember the house in the least of course?"
43109You do n''t want to get poor Harvey scolded again, do you, darling?"
43109You have come to stay all day, I hope, at least to luncheon?"
43109You have heard from her?"
43109You will be able to wait to see them this afternoon?"
43109You will let the child come over to me now and then, wo n''t you?
43109You would like a cup of tea, would you not?
43109You would n''t wish us to marry selfish brutes, papa?"
43109_ Was_ it she--"Miss Wyndham,"or was it only a case of extraordinary resemblance?
43109` A pity to add to''?"
43109asked Madelene;"she asked you to telegraph your safe arrival, I suppose?
43109cried the voice she knew so well,"what in the world is the matter?
43109fifteen, sixteen?"
43109he said;"real earnest, as the children say?"
43109said Ermine;"what are yours, Maddie?"
43109said Madelene;"or at least if you do go alone, it will not be further than the grounds, I hope?"
43109she said insinuatingly;"what were you saying, godmother?
43109she said, while a rosy colour crept over her face,"oh, godmother, what_ do_ you mean?"
43109she said,"or are you perhaps too tired?"
43109sighed Ella,"and when will that be, I wonder?
43109with a sharp exclamation,"is it-- is it really you?"
17506A circus here-- what, Holt''s?
17506A k''eer look on my face?
17506A mother to the others?
17506Am I to acquaint my master that you have come, madam?
17506Am I to lay for two?
17506And are the dogs and the other animals to wear mourning?
17506And does you mind?
17506And he had a boy as well, had n''t he?
17506And he is to have a public funeral, is n''t he?
17506And is n''t it wholesome in the southwest of England?
17506And may I wide horses?
17506And now, missy, I expect you are called Baby?
17506And so Rub- a- Dub is n''t dead after all?
17506And so you come from the_ Rectory_?
17506And we are_ not_ to have lessons, Stevie,said Orion;"that''s settled, is n''t it?"
17506And what are you going to do with the arrow when it is made?
17506And what do you say to delicious soup and honey, p''r''aps? 17506 And what troubles do you mean now, Matty Bell?"
17506And why not, if the child has the wish?
17506And why specially all over Madersley?
17506And will she know about it, Iris?
17506And you are going back to Australia again?
17506And you steal it?
17506And you wo n''t call Aunt Jane any more names?
17506And you''ll go and beg her pardon now?
17506Anger him?
17506Ann, my dear, what are you staring at me for? 17506 Apollo, have you seen her?"
17506Apollo, please, may I get on your shoulder for a bit, and will you lead me to that place where the first sunbeam rises in the east over the sea?
17506Are I?
17506Are n''t he silly little boy?
17506Are n''t you going to eat your supper?
17506Are you alluding to the lawns?
17506Are you going to Australia again?
17506Are you one of the rector''s children, my little love?
17506Are you quite sure, Di?
17506Are you sure you are human, you two little mites?
17506Are you the aunt?
17506As to the others--"Do n''t you think that poor toad, Iris?
17506B''ue, with white wings?
17506Be beaten?
17506Bless you, Matty; but where-- where?
17506But are n''t we going away now?
17506But could n''t you practice against the tree without me standing there?
17506But do you know that all this is very wrong?
17506But do you know that you have got to obey me, miss? 17506 But do you mean,"said Orion,"that you''ll really shoot''em both?"
17506But look here, Diana, what do you want this special bow and arrow for?
17506But what are you but a little child yourself?
17506But what is the difference, Di? 17506 But where did you get ginger- beer?"
17506But where did you get lollipops and ginger- beer? 17506 But you are better-- you are surely better, mother?"
17506But, Diana, are n''t we going away?
17506But, mother,said Jack,"do you dare to disturb them now when they are asleep?
17506Can I do anything?
17506Come, children; what''s all this noise about?
17506Darling, you understand? 17506 Dear, dear, what''s all this fuss?"
17506Diana,she said,"what are you doing?
17506Did you make this bow all by yourself?
17506Do I, or do I not, want the police to interfere in this matter? 17506 Do n''t you feel anything?"
17506Do n''t you know my Uncle William Dolman?
17506Do n''t you think you are rather stupid?
17506Do n''t you think, Fortune, that mother is just a little_ wee_ bit better?
17506Do you know you_ is_ a humbug?
17506Do you know, then, about Rub- a- Dub?
17506Do you know, you''s an awfu''nice man?
17506Do you mean the heathen goddess?
17506Do you mean to tell me,said Apollo, laughing,"that you wish to shoot Aunt Jane and that old woman in the nursery?"
17506Do you really mean that you have had news of the children?
17506Do you remember the time when I went to Australia?
17506Do you think I could joke upon such a subject?
17506Do you want to see me locked up in prison for kidnaping children? 17506 Does you like Aunt Jane?"
17506Does you like that old thing in the nursery-- Simpson, they calls her?
17506Eight shillings for driving me from the station here? 17506 Fortune, who is she?"
17506Fortune,she said, looking into her face,"is mother any better?"
17506Fwightened?
17506Go away, missy?
17506Has Orion taken his medicine?
17506Has a sudden illness attacked that large family?
17506Has your little girl what was like me got deaded?
17506Have n''t I done for her from the blessed moment when she was sent from heaven into her mother''s arms?
17506Have n''t I? 17506 Have you had enough tea, mother?"
17506Have you heard anything?
17506Have you indeed?
17506Have you, Orion?
17506Home? 17506 How are you Aunt Jane?
17506How can you say that?
17506How does you feel, Orion?
17506How is it,continued Fortune,"that the little children belonging to your circus were not present this afternoon?
17506How soon will the supper be over? 17506 Hurt?"
17506I am really, truly,said Orion;"but are you quite certain it''s true, Di?"
17506I can only tell you-- but there, perhaps I had better not say-- only will you excuse me for a minute or two, Fortune?
17506I did it well; did n''t I, Aunt Sarah?
17506I do n''t know nothing''bout no Uncle Ben; but did n''t you see something flash there?--something white, just over there? 17506 I like having secrets as well as anybody else; the air is full of secrets to- day-- why should n''t I have some?"
17506I say, Phil,he continued,"is it true that you can take me fishing with you this afternoon?"
17506I see you are reading that poster,said Fortune,"and maybe you''re interested?"
17506I wonder if you could shoot me, little miss?
17506I''d be much happier if I had Orion with me,continued Diana,"and it''s''portant my being happy; is n''t it, Uncle William?
17506I''s a well- grown girl, is n''t I?
17506In what way, Jane?
17506In what way?
17506Iris, my dear, what are you doing here?
17506Iris,said Diana''s voice at that moment,"we are not surely to have any lessons to- day?"
17506Iris,said Mrs. Dolman,"will you speak to this extremely naughty little girl?
17506Is Uncle Ben coming? 17506 Is it all over?"
17506Is it far to----"To where, Di?
17506Is it possible for you to communicate with him?
17506Is it to be a pwivate funeral?
17506Is it true that Rub- a- Dub''s dead?
17506Is it true, Di?
17506Is it?
17506Is my dear Uncle Ben anywhere about?
17506Is n''t it fun?
17506Is n''t it funny, we has got our nightdwesses on?
17506Is n''t it time for us to be off?
17506Is n''t this''licious?
17506Is n''t we at Wectory yet?
17506Is she there? 17506 Is that all?"
17506Is that what the secret is about?
17506Is we going to a circus? 17506 Is we to have a holiday, Uncle William?
17506Is you a cousin?
17506Is you fwightened''bout anything?
17506Is you going with us?
17506Is you my cousin?
17506Is you?
17506Is_ that_ its fault, poor thing?
17506It seems right that I should have one; does it not, Di? 17506 It''s going to be a starful night; is n''t it, father?"
17506Jonathan Darling? 17506 Lessons?"
17506Little Diana with the spirited black eyes?
17506Look at what?
17506Lost two of''em? 17506 May I go back to the garden first?"
17506May I sit on your lap?
17506Maybe, miss,said Fortune, fixing her with her keen eyes,"you can tell me something about''em?
17506Must I go away, mother? 17506 My dear Jane, what have you come for?"
17506My dear Jane-- beaten? 17506 My dear,"said Fortune,"you''ll excuse my stopping to speak to you, but will you tell me if I can get into the town by the gate yonder?"
17506No, my dear; I wo n''t injure you,said Fortune;"but I must know this: When was it they ran away?"
17506No, that you did n''t,he said;"and ai nt you frightened of me, missy?"
17506Nothing? 17506 Now what do you mean by that, missy?"
17506Now, I wonder,continued Fortune Squeers,"if it lies anywhere in your power to give me a bit of help?
17506Now, am I an American or am I not?
17506Now, do you think I would go into my laboratory and try to make a thermometer?
17506Now, little missy,he said, looking full at Diana,"what would you say if I was to put you on top of a horse''s back?
17506Now, my dear Iris, what is all this mystery?
17506Now, what do you think about her?
17506Now, what in the world is the matter with you, Jonathan?
17506Now, who is this little girl, I wonder?
17506Now, why does David waste all those acres of splendid land?
17506Oh, Uncle William,she said,"how can I thank you?
17506Oh, can you? 17506 Oh, depends-- on what now, my dear?"
17506Oh, is that all? 17506 Oh, my dear Ben,"said Aunt Sarah at that moment,"you are never a- going to let either of them little kids ride a''orse like Pole Star?"
17506Oh, p''ease, p''ease, will you see that the spiders and beetles has somethin''to eat? 17506 Oh, please, Di; nothing will make you stop, nothing will make you break your word?"
17506Oh, please, Miss Ramsay, wo n''t you excuse the French poetry to- day,she cried;"I am so--""So what, Ann?
17506Oh, there''s Orion with Philip and Conrad,said Iris,"but where can Di be?
17506One of the children ill?
17506Ought I? 17506 P''ease, where''s Wectory?"
17506Philip,said Ann, in a solemn voice,"do n''t you want to know all about the children who are coming to- night?"
17506Please, Aunt Jane,said Iris, as they approached the door;"may I go into Diana''s room by myself?
17506Please, Fortune, where is father? 17506 Pretend what, missy?"
17506Rub- a- Dub?
17506See here, Orion,said the father;"where do you get the cotton wool?"
17506See this box in my hand? 17506 Shall Orion go to steal the cotton wool?"
17506Shall we go into the drawing room, Jane?
17506Shall we go out into the garding-- what you say?
17506Shoot you, boy?
17506So he shall, Uncle Ben; course you will, wo n''t you, Orion?
17506So you do n''t like poor Aunt Jane?
17506So you is our little mother now, Iris?
17506Something on our faces?
17506Starful?
17506Susan,she called out,"will you please help me to put on my after- dinner frock?"
17506The children?
17506The dead- house, Diana? 17506 The little children belonging to our circus?"
17506Their names?
17506Then you beg my pardon, and you wo n''t be naughty again?
17506Then you really mean to be good and brave, Di?
17506Then you really think her very ill?
17506Then you will try to get well, dear? 17506 Then you would n''t mind if you was to leave her?"
17506Then your opinion is that Iris is very ill?
17506Then, if mother is much better off, we ought to have a holiday, same as if it was a birthday; ought we not, Miss Stevenson?
17506Then,said Iris, very slowly,"do you really think, Aunt Jane, that when mother was alive we were bad children?"
17506There,said Mother Rodesia;"did I say one word too much for her?"
17506There_ are_ an awful lot of them,said Diana, in quite a cheerful voice;"and do n''t you remember, Iris, the poor innocent was not buried yesterday?"
17506They is sort of enemies of yours, is n''t they?
17506To go away? 17506 Uncle Ben, is anybody a- vexing of you?"
17506Uncle William, may I have a whole holiday to- day?
17506Uncle William, you wishes me to have a whole holiday; does n''t you? 17506 We have enjoyed our tea, all of us,"he said;"and now, Fortune, would not you like a cup?
17506We''ll all wear mourning, course?
17506Well, Rodesia,she said,"and so you has found these little strangers in the wood?
17506Well, and what do you propose to do?
17506Well, do you know your lesson?
17506Well, little girl, and what is it?
17506Well, miss, do you dare?
17506Well, my dear little girl,she said, drawing Diana to her side,"and so you are sorry for what you said?"
17506Well, my little dears,she said,"and what may you two be doing in this part of the wood?"
17506Well, sir, do you know anything about the children who were not in the circus to- day?
17506Well, to be sure, Fortune, and what brings you here?
17506Well, what are the names of the others?
17506Well, what do it matter?

17506What were their names?
17506What were you saying, little girl?
17506What wight has you to speak to me in that sort of style?
17506What would be the use of''em, if they was n''t? 17506 What''s all this fuss?"

17506When are we to see about making the tombstone for the head and the feet?
17506When will we get back to Wectory?
17506Where are you, Sarah?
17506Where can us be?

17506Who''s Uncle Ben?
17506Who''s her?
17506Why are n''t we in bed? 17506 Why ca n''t Orion go to bed?
17506Why ca n''t we open that door and go out?
17506Why did n''t you come to me when I called you?
17506Why do you talk like that? 17506 Why is n''t we going with the others?"
17506Why not into the dead- house at once?
17506Why should I make pwomises about your bow and arrows? 17506 Why should we stay in this horrid room?"
17506Why, little woman, what can be the matter? 17506 Why?"
17506Why?
17506Wife, can you understand her?
17506Will you sit here, please, Aunt Jane Dolman?
17506William, what do you mean?
17506William,she remarked,"what are you doing with that child?
17506With that cleft in his chin, what else can be expected? 17506 Wo n''t you twuly?
17506Would it be stwawberries and k''eam, or would it be cake and milk?
17506Would mother really like it?
17506Would not you like a bow and arrow just all your own, to shoot at the twees with?
17506Would she let me out of this woom, then? 17506 Would you like to?"
17506Would you not like me to show you your room, cousin?
17506Would you not like to go to your room, and wash and change your dress?
17506Yes, that I be, missy,he answered;"you are the''cutest little gal I ever seed, and you are fond of poor Uncle Ben, eh?"
17506Yes,he replied;"but what do you want the bow and arrow for?"
17506Yes; and when it is a starful night Orion ca n''t sleep well,''cos he is a star hisself; is n''t he, father?
17506Yes; do you know anything about her?
17506Yes; why should n''t I?
17506You a mother? 17506 You are much better, mummy; are you not?"
17506You bet?
17506You can do that afterwards, ca n''t you? 17506 You do n''t mean it?"
17506You do n''t''uppose I''s fwightened of Pole Star? 17506 You hates writing sermons, do n''t you?"
17506You know Rub- a- Dub ca n''t feel; do n''t you, Di?
17506You must''member all the kings and queens of England; do n''t you, Uncle William?
17506You need not look sad, Iris,she said;"there''s no cause, is there?
17506You need not tell me any more; and so it was_ you_ who stole''em?
17506You poor little innocents, what is to become of you all?
17506You say that you will try and bear it, and that father is not to mind? 17506 You were obliged to lock her up?"
17506You would not let a little girl be beated?
17506You''ll take the medicine for me, Orion?
17506Your enemies? 17506 And how old may you be, my little love?
17506And now, what in the world is up with the two of you, and where are the others?
17506And what are your names?"
17506And what do you say to asking cook to put up a few bottles of milk and some cake and bread and butter-- then you need not return home to tea?"
17506And what is you?"
17506And what may you two be doing out at this hour?"
17506And will you cut an arrow for me, and will you make it very sharp?
17506Apollo, what is the matter?
17506Apollo, will you take the birds?
17506Are n''t I just like the weal Diana now?"
17506Are n''t it beautiful?
17506Are you certain sure?"
17506But before I proceed to anything else, may I ask you a question?
17506But oh, please, promise you wo n''t tell on me-- you wo n''t let out that I said anything?"
17506But what do she mean by punish?
17506But what''s gone wrong, dearie?
17506But why am I to be disturbed at such a very early hour?"
17506Ca n''t you take them in and give them rest for a bit?
17506Ca n''t you''member nothing?"
17506Can you ever forgive me?
17506Can you find your way into my dining room?
17506Can you get our day dwesses, p''ease, for us to put on, Aunt Sawah?"
17506Can you give us a drink of milk?"
17506Can you not sleep if I am in the room?"
17506Can you stwaighten it for me a little bit,''Pollo?"
17506Can you, father?
17506Come here at once and say,''How do you do?''"
17506Could it not be postponed, or could not you, my dear?"
17506Could n''t we go to your house, milkman, and rest there for a bit?"
17506David, you surely are not giving those children wine?"
17506Di, are you there?
17506Diana they felt sure of, but what of little Orion?
17506Did Iris let you take''em away?"
17506Did n''t I see her when she fell from the ring?
17506Did n''t Orion do well, Uncle Ben?"
17506Did you ever hear of Diana, ugly old woman?"
17506Did you never hear of Diana what lived long, long ago?--the beautiful, bwave lady that shotted peoples whenever she p''eased with her bow and arrows?"
17506Did you not hear mamma say so?
17506Did you, Ann?"
17506Did your mother bring me all the way from America to be of no use in an emergency like the present?
17506Do I, or do I not, want to find those children my very own self?
17506Do n''t you feel just as if you was a heathen god?"
17506Do n''t you know where we are, Diana?"
17506Do n''t you remember Uncle Ben, the awful man who has the circus?"
17506Do n''t you think she would have been brave?"
17506Do n''t you think you behaved very badly indeed?"
17506Do n''t you think you had better give up the scheme?"
17506Do you ever get that sort of feel inside of you, Uncle William?"
17506Do you happen to know where she is?"
17506Do you know anything?"
17506Do you know that you are a very, very wicked little girl?"
17506Do you know what she meant by''Them''s my sentiments,''Ann,''cos I do n''t?
17506Do you know your geography?"
17506Do you mean to the Rectory?
17506Do you object to the way I speak to this child?"
17506Do you really know what you are saying?
17506Do you suppose, Diana, that I will allow a little child like you to defy me in my own house?"
17506Do you think I would tell a lie?
17506Do you think she would have given in?
17506Do you''member what we has come here for, Orion?"
17506Do you, or do you not, intend those children to run wild any longer?
17506Does I say things I does n''t mean?
17506Does this way lead to garding, Orion?"
17506Does you think I are going to let Orion be hurted?
17506Dolman?"
17506Has she been put in pwison for murder?
17506Has that ugly old woman been sent to pwison?
17506Has you ever been on a''orse''s back afore, little love?"
17506Has you got a looking- glass in your pocket, Aunt Sawah?"
17506Have I got to ride Greased Lightning?
17506Have a sip of my stout, wo n''t you?"
17506Have not I been taking pains to explain it all to you?
17506Have you never heard of nerve troubles?"
17506Have you not your parish to attend to?"
17506Have you seen, or have you not, what''s up all over the town?"
17506Here now, is n''t you better?"
17506How am I to tell the children''s father that two of them have disappeared, and the eldest, his favorite, too, is very ill?"
17506How can you tell me you know your lesson?
17506How could she possibly be a mother to the others?
17506How could you allow all that splendid land to lie waste?"
17506How have we got into this horrid little room?"
17506How many boys or how many girls?
17506I always was noted for my common sense, was I not?
17506I ca n''t obey you and Miss Wamsay both at the same time, can I?
17506I do n''t believe that story''bout mother, and if it is not true there''ll be nothing wrong in my laughing, will there?"
17506I do n''t care-- what''s words?
17506I is, but is Orion, too?
17506I say, nurse, where is''oo?
17506I spects you is kind about your heart; is n''t you?"
17506I want to speak to her?"
17506I wonder if you are fond of horses?"
17506I wonder when your first time will come?
17506I''ll wide Pole Star, and Orion, he''ll wide G''eased Lightning,_ only_--now, Uncle Ben, is you listening?"
17506In my heart, you know, Phil, I love fun, and I want to be able to talk English sometimes, and Phil, would,_ would_ you like to know their names?"
17506In the meantime, William, have you anything to propose about little Iris?"
17506In what way?"
17506Indeed, why should Apollo go at all?
17506Iris, shall we go down to dessert to- night, or not?"
17506Is Jack anywhere about?"
17506Is it nasty?"
17506Is n''t it awful and exciting to be called after a heathen idol?
17506Is she your aunt?"
17506Is that the second gong?
17506Is you stweaming with hotness, Orion?"
17506It''s sort of painful when it''s like that; ai nt it?"
17506Jack, have you got that spade''andy?"
17506Lost, is it?
17506Lucy, where is Miss Ramsay?"
17506Man, do you know that my mother has gone away to the angels?
17506May I go into the night- nursery, please, Simpson, and do my best?"
17506May I put the poor darlin''s loose in my room?"
17506May I, father?"
17506May not I stay very quietly with you?
17506Maybe you has heard of those children-- that is, if you are Madersley folk?"
17506Miss Iris, you''ll ask them to be good, wo n''t you?"
17506My bow is weally beautiful-- it is a little crooked, but what do that matter?
17506My dear child, what do you mean?"
17506My dear children, what do you mean?"
17506Now I wonder if I can strike that trail?
17506Now please, Iris, which is to have a public funeral?"
17506Now the question is, What sort of folk would be interested in a little pair like them?
17506Now, I want to shoot stwaight at that oak twee, or would you mind awfu'', Apollo, if I was to shoot at you?"
17506Now, Uncle Ben, what''s all this?"
17506Now, do you think you can stand on the horse?"
17506Now, look here,''Rion; will you go into the house to steal the cotton wool, or shall I?"
17506Now, missy, you would not be so cruel as that?"
17506Now, shall I have a few shots with it?"
17506Now, shall I see Iris and submit the plan to her?"
17506Now, what do you say to you and me and Mr. Dolman, if he likes to come, and Master Apollo going this afternoon to see the performance?"
17506Now, what have you four little children to do, sitting on my bed at half- past five in the morning?"
17506Now, where is my box?
17506Oh, I say, Orion,"suddenly concluded Diana;"what is we to do without Iris?
17506Oh, why has Jane, of all people, come?
17506P''ease see to''em; wo n''t you, Iris?"
17506Shall I call her?"
17506Shall we eat our supper afore we talks?"
17506Shall we witness this public funeral?"
17506Shall we wun away in the morning, Orion?"
17506She has lately, too, lost her mother, has she not?"
17506She must have her breakfast, as usual; must she not, Iris?"
17506She spoke, father, as if it was settled; but it is not true, is it?
17506Simpson?"
17506So you really believe in them at last?"
17506Speak, ca n''t you?"
17506Suppose you was to twy for a bit, Orion?"
17506That''ll be three pund-- not a bad night''s work; eh, Jack?"
17506The two children lost?
17506There is always a vast deal of work left undone when mamma is absent, eh, children?
17506Towards the end of the meal she bent over towards Mrs. Dolman, and said in a confiding voice:"Has you got woods wound here?"
17506We has a lot to do to- morrow, has n''t we?"
17506We ought to have a whole holiday to- day, ought we not?
17506We''ll let her ride round the arena on Greased Lightning; eh, Sarah?"
17506Well, now, what is the other name?
17506Well, what are the names?
17506What am I to do?
17506What am I to do?"
17506What are we to do?"
17506What are you doing up at this hour?"
17506What are you doing?"
17506What are you going to wring from me at this inclement moment?"
17506What are you talking about, Iris?"
17506What are you thinking of?"
17506What are you turning away from me for?
17506What can be the matter?"
17506What can be the meaning of it?"
17506What can you mean?
17506What could my poor sister- in- law and your father have been thinking of?
17506What did they mean?
17506What do you mean?"
17506What do you mean?"
17506What do you say to that?"
17506What do you think she went and did, Matty?
17506What does it matter about a mouse?
17506What does it mean, Iris?
17506What does that si''nify?
17506What hour do you dine?"
17506What is the capital of England?"
17506What is the capital of Scotland?"
17506What is the fare from Beaminster to Delaney Manor?"
17506What is the matter?"
17506What is the use of g''umbling?
17506What is to be done?
17506What is your fare?"
17506What is your name?"
17506What rectory?
17506What will he think of me?
17506What would be the good if they was n''t shotted dead?
17506What would n''t I give to be back in the dear old garden again?"
17506What would your mother say?"
17506What you say?"
17506What''s the matter, Di?"
17506What''s your name?"
17506What, you''ll kick me, will you?
17506Where did you get them?"
17506Where did you put the box?
17506Where did you put''em?"
17506Where did you say Mr. Delaney was?"
17506Where is my nice b''ack dwess, and my pinafore, and my shoes and socks?"
17506Where is the box?
17506Where would she take a catching complaint in a wholesome, well- sanitated rectory like this?
17506Where''s Fortune?
17506Where''s Iris?
17506Where''s Mother Bridget?
17506Where?"
17506Who may he be?"
17506Who will she punish?"
17506Why did n''t you come with the others?
17506Why did she come here without being asked?
17506Why must they, as a matter of course, have fallen into the hands of cruel and unprincipled folk?
17506Why not?
17506Why will you not accept a patent fact?
17506Why, Jonathan, do n''t you know her?
17506Why, for instance, should not some very kind people have found the children?
17506Why, what is the matter, little one?"
17506Why, what is the matter, my dear; what is the matter?
17506Will you dress me?"
17506Will you help me to make the arrow?
17506Will you make it awfu''sharp?
17506Will you make me the little arrow, p''ease, p''ease?"
17506Will you twy?
17506Wo n''t you let me do it?"
17506Wo n''t you twy and begin?
17506Woman, is you fond of animals-- mices and that sort?"
17506You are a very rich little gal; ai nt you, little dear?"
17506You did n''t mean to sting me so bad with that howid wod, did you, Uncle William?"
17506You do n''t believe that; do you, Iris?"
17506You do n''t mind if I does hurt you a bit, does you?"
17506You do n''t suppose she is-- fretting?"
17506You is awfu''old, is n''t you?"
17506You know, Iris, the meaning of your names, do n''t you?"
17506You underland what I mean; does n''t you, Orion?"
17506You underland, do n''t you?"
17506You underland; do n''t you, father?"
17506You will do exactly what the doctor says?"
17506You would like to see my ship when it is afloat; would you not, Iris?"
17506You would n''t be frightened, would you?"
17506You''ll be glad of the drive, wo n''t you?"
17506Your rent- roll, how much is it?"
17506and could I do just what I liked my own self?"
17506and how soon can we get back home?"
17506and what have you got in your handkerchief?"
17506are you close to me?"
17506are you within?"
17506can you do anything?"
17506cried the governess,"what does the child mean?
17506do you keep a cemetery in the garden?"
17506do you mean it?"
17506eh, Miss Ramsay?"
17506is that you?
17506repeated Simpson;"and what''s your name, young master?"
17506said Iris,"do you happen to know where Diana is?"
17506said the good woman,"and have I really found you at last?"
17506she continued, taking Diana by her arm and giving her a slight shake;"that you wished to_ steal_ something?"
17506she cried;"my three spiders and my four beetles?
17506the rector?"
17506what is to be done?
17506what is to be done?"
17506what is to become of us?
17506what''s gone wrong?"
17506will they let us?"
18666A_ what_?
18666About my very naughty family?
18666About this child,said Helen, drawing Firefly forward,"what is to be done about her?
18666Alice,she said to the parlor maid, who speedily answered the summons,"will you get the rose room ready as quickly as possible?
18666Am I to be on my''P''s and Q''s''for this Miss Flower of yours? 18666 And Polly?"
18666And if I had it, I could sell it for a good bit of money?
18666And is wee babby to stay out in the cold night air?
18666And see after the servants, please, father?
18666And the number? 18666 And where is Polly?"
18666And why does n''t she come to speak to her aunt? 18666 And you all hate me?"
18666And you all put this thing at my door?
18666And you will allow her to part with valuable gems like this?
18666Another?
18666Are these pockets for your school- books?
18666Are you a ghost, or are you the daughter of the dreadful woman who lives in this hut? 18666 Are you certain you are going to the nearest town?"
18666Are you going to kill him, Dave?
18666Are you going to stay here? 18666 Baby?
18666Because Flower is an ill tempered, proud, silly girl, am I to send poor little Maggie away? 18666 Because she wants me to get a chaperon for you?"
18666But I need n''t promise, need I?
18666But not at this hour, surely, Miss?
18666But tell me quickly, where are the others? 18666 But what are we to eat?"
18666But what is it?
18666But who is she? 18666 But why are you here?
18666But you rebelled yourself?
18666But,said Flower-- she had scarcely spoken at all until now--"cannot we both go?
18666Can it be mice?
18666Can you remember the list of things I gave you to buy at the grocery shop? 18666 Children,"said Helen, coming forward at once,"do you know anything about Scorpion''s loss,_ any_thing?
18666Could a person do this,she said, her voice trembling with eagerness--"Could such a thing as this be done: could one give their eyes away?"
18666Daisy Rymple, do you mean?
18666Did I hear of her?
18666Did I hear of the woman-- for lady she ain''t-- what turned my Maggie out of her good place, and near broke Miss Polly''s heart? 18666 Do you feel this?"
18666Do you think, Miss, I''d let a pretty young lady like you trape the lanes in the dead of night? 18666 Do you think, Nell, that I ought to have any more of this marmalade on fresh bread?
18666Do_ all_ this numerous party belong to the family?
18666Eh, what''s this?
18666Eh?
18666Firefly, do you know anything?
18666Firefly, what do you know?
18666Fly caved in, did n''t she?
18666Fond of a kitchen- maid? 18666 From where?"
18666Had better have a little of this stale bread- and- butter then, dear?
18666Has mother come back?
18666Have my entire family emigrated? 18666 Have you a headache?
18666Here''s spirit for you, and who may your respected papa be, my dear? 18666 How are you, young lady?
18666How could Helen have married such a man?
18666How could you be unkind to her?
18666How do you do, Aunt Maria?
18666How is she? 18666 How long ago is that, Nurse?"
18666How old are you, Polly?
18666I am going out, Polly, do you want me?
18666I do n''t know if I''m a- doin''right,she said,"for perhaps this ai n''t worth sixpence, and then where''s the rent and the food?
18666I suppose, Helen, after that we may go away?
18666I wonder how he likes that bare beef bone?
18666I wonder where Scorpion can be?
18666I''m Flower----"Well, and is n''t Daisy a flower? 18666 In bed?
18666In three weeks from now?
18666Is baby very ill, too?
18666Is it a dog? 18666 Is it a dog?"
18666Is it that nice little Scorpion?
18666Is it?
18666Is that you, Flower?
18666Is that_ you_, Aunt Maria?
18666Is the soup done?
18666It is lucky they are not your children?
18666Listen; was not that the sound of wheels?
18666Maggie?
18666May I housekeep every second week instead of Nell? 18666 May I stay?"
18666May I, really?
18666Might I---- might I have a little breakfast?
18666Money? 18666 My darling, you have found that out?"
18666My dear little Firefly, what_ is_ the matter? 18666 Now, Helen, what is the matter?
18666Now, father,she said, eagerly,"about the housekeeping?
18666Now, my dear, good creature, what is this most unpleasant sound? 18666 Now, was it a one and a six or a one and a seven?"
18666Now, what are you up to, you scamps?--can''t you let a body be?
18666Of course, how could you expect it to agree with you, Polly?
18666Of_ dogs_? 18666 Oh, Dave, how will you manage that?"
18666Oh, Nell, what shall I do if I make father worse again? 18666 Oh, Poll Parrot, may I come down with you to the kitchen?
18666Oh, Polly, how dreadful you are?
18666Oh, Polly, how you have tangled up all this wool; and where''s the fellow of this gray glove? 18666 Oh, have I not, though?"
18666Oh, she vexed you? 18666 Oh, we are wicked, are we, Scorpion?"
18666Oh, what do you know about it, Flower? 18666 Oh, you do n''t, do n''t you?"
18666Only, is this a good time to speak to father? 18666 Or such a friend?"
18666Please will you come up to Polly''s and my room now to take off your things?
18666Polly said that? 18666 Polly, are you really anxious about baby Pearl?"
18666Polly, where are you? 18666 Sell him?
18666Shall I take Firefly away and question her?
18666She said Polly had been-- why, what is the matter, Poll?
18666She takes to Polly, does she?
18666She thinks that perhaps we''ll stay, Flower,pointing with his finger at Polly,"and in that case I need n''t keep up my company manners, need I?"
18666So, you''re Maggie?
18666Somebody has come to the wrong box, has she not? 18666 Sperits?
18666Take to her? 18666 The grown- ups?
18666The helps? 18666 The whole truth, Polly?
18666The whole truth? 18666 The young ladies will be pleased, wo n''t they, Nurse?"
18666The-- the what, my dear?
18666Then the baby died? 18666 Then why did you tell me?"
18666Then, my dear, where are the family?
18666There, my love, do you hear her? 18666 To Bath, Miss?
18666To see whom?
18666To the p''int, ma''am? 18666 To_ stay_?
18666Was n''t father there? 18666 Was n''t father with her?"
18666Was n''t you going the other way, father?
18666We do n''t love you, Flower; how could we?
18666Well, Flower, well?
18666Well, Helen, has this_ most_ impertinent, naughty child confessed?
18666Well, Maggie,she said, pulling up short,"now, what are your plans?
18666Well, Polly?
18666Well, my loves,he said,"can I do anything for you?
18666Well, what did you answer him about the old horrors, Nell?
18666Well, where''s Flower? 18666 What are we to say, Polly?"
18666What are you doing, Miss Flower? 18666 What are you dreaming of?"
18666What are you saying now?
18666What are you so long about, Poll Parrot? 18666 What business have you to go through Deadman''s Copse without leave?"
18666What did Flower do, Nurse? 18666 What do you mean by finding David?
18666What do you mean? 18666 What do you mean?"
18666What do you mean?
18666What have I done? 18666 What is Miss Grinsted''s address?"
18666What is it, Alice? 18666 What is it, David?"
18666What is it, David?
18666What is it, Firefly? 18666 What is it, Nell?
18666What is it, what is it?
18666What is it? 18666 What is it?"
18666What is that?
18666What is the matter, my lad?
18666What is the matter?
18666What is the matter?
18666What shall I do?
18666What''s all this whispering about? 18666 What''s her address?"
18666What''s the matter, Flower? 18666 What''s the matter, Poll?
18666What?
18666What?
18666What_ has_ that horrid Scorpion to do with Fly and father?
18666Where he keeps the bull?
18666Where is the nearest town?
18666Where''s Helen?
18666Where''s baby?
18666Where''s father?
18666Where''s mother?
18666Which moor, the South or Peg- Top?
18666Who are you?
18666Who are you?
18666Who is it, Ann? 18666 Who is it, Ann?"
18666Who, and what do you mean?
18666Why not? 18666 Why so?
18666Why, is Polly ill, too?
18666Why, mother, what''s took you? 18666 Why, what is the matter, Flower?
18666Why, wherever have you been, Miss? 18666 Why, you surely have not been speaking to her on the subject?"
18666Will a duck swim? 18666 Will you get my father''s room ready for Mrs. Cameron,"she said,"and then see about supper as quickly as possible?
18666Will you not wait until to- morrow, Aunt Maria? 18666 Will you oblige me with the street and number of the house?"
18666Wo n''t somebody say it? 18666 Would it not be well to leave them to me?
18666Would that be any use?
18666Yes, yes, but it is n''t true, it ca n''t be?
18666Yes? 18666 Yes?"
18666You believe that_ I_ am innocent, do n''t you?
18666You can say words like that to me?
18666You did not fetch any more honey from that hive, eh, Polly?
18666You do n''t mean to tell me you have used up the dog''s cream?
18666You hate me?
18666You have a whistle?
18666You have had your tea, sir?
18666You have n''t made the hole there, Dave?
18666You mean about my eyes, Polly? 18666 _ What?_ father lose his sight?
18666_ What?_ father lose his sight? 18666 _ You_ go away?
18666''Now, what is the matter?''
18666''Shall we have minced collops, or roast beef?
18666''The matter?''
18666''Then I may see him this afternoon?''
18666''What for?''
18666A real live baby?
18666And I suppose you thought I''d pet you and make much of you?"
18666And I want to know from you, please, Doctor, if Miss Polly is to mistress it over me?
18666And Poll is a bad housekeeper, is n''t she?"
18666And are you to be poisoned hout and hout?"
18666And did you ever hear any one read better?"
18666And do you both continue to like living in Bath?"
18666And father, dear father, you_ will_ let Paul and Virginia come?
18666And how are the children to have food to- morrow?"
18666And is Sleepy Hollow let to strangers?"
18666And is that Scorpion, and is he going to bark?
18666And shall we have fruit tart with custard?''
18666And what do you think?
18666And where_ is_ Helen?--where are they all?
18666And why did the great eight- day clock in the hall strike twelve?
18666And why did you hide yourself from nurse?"
18666And you do n''t mind, do you father?"
18666Any one for me?"
18666Are n''t you glad I asked you to come with us?"
18666Are n''t you starving?
18666Are they still carousing in that wicked way in the garret?"
18666Are you mad?"
18666Are you really going to bring up these unfortunate children without a chaperon?"
18666Are you seriously resolved to force your attentions upon us for a week?
18666Associate with a servant?
18666But can I do anything for either of you now?
18666But do n''t you see how he''ll guard Scorpion all day?
18666But how should she accomplish her revenge?
18666But there was another point to be decided-- Who were to be invited to partake of the supper, and was Nurse to be told, and was Helen to be consulted?
18666But what of that?
18666But where are they?
18666But, there, what am I idling for with a chit like you?
18666By the way, can you tell me where all the children are?"
18666Ca n''t you show me?"
18666Cameron?"
18666Can I do it?
18666Can anybody be more than sorry, or do more than give back what they took?"
18666Can it be possible that Helen should have such a child?
18666Can not we both walk home, and take the baby with us?"
18666Can you give it to me in silver, not in gold, for I want to divide it, and pop it into the little box with divisions at once?"
18666Can you let me have nine shillings and fourpence halfpenny, Mrs. Ricketts?
18666Can you make the oven hot?
18666Can you tell me where the nearest railway station is?"
18666Come this way, Miss-- Miss-- what''s your name?"
18666Come, Polly, what''s the matter?
18666Come, you saw me very cross about the lemonade yesterday; is Flower worse than that?
18666Could n''t we have a game of ball?
18666Crying?
18666Daisy?
18666David, what are you nudging me for?"
18666Did not she come with you?"
18666Did she hear the words of her mother''s favorite song, and was a Guide--_the_ Guide-- holding her childish hand?
18666Did you arrive to- day?
18666Did you ever hear of such shameful ignorance?"
18666Did you tell him about-- about----""About what, silly boy?"
18666Do n''t I use fine words, father?
18666Do n''t they know that their father has arrived?"
18666Do n''t you enjoy this_ al fresco_ sort of entertainment?
18666Do n''t you know that it is frightfully bad- mannered to cry in that loud, unrestrained fashion?
18666Do n''t you know that you are a very naughty, dangerous sort of girl?"
18666Do n''t you see how simple it will be?"
18666Do n''t you see, I ca n''t do more than give her back to you?
18666Do n''t you see?
18666Do n''t you slow English people understand?
18666Do n''t you want something to eat?"
18666Do you hear?
18666Do you know I never had a baby in my arms in my life?
18666Do you know how to toss pancakes, Maggie?"
18666Do you know what it means to housekeep for this family, Polly?"
18666Do you object to be carried?"
18666Do you remember Farmer Long''s six- acre field?"
18666Do you see this box?
18666Do you think David is guilty, and that he has got Fly to promise not to tell?"
18666Do you think nine- and- fourpence- halfpenny will take me to Bath?"
18666Do you understand?"
18666Does she not coo-- isn''t she perfect?
18666Ef I give you all my money, Miss, how am I to pay rent?
18666Father, it is n''t much fun being a gipsy, is it?"
18666For it would help you to have the strangers here, would n''t it, father?"
18666For, if so-- well, your mother never thwarted you, did she?"
18666Give me my breakfast, please, Alice; and oh, Nurse, might n''t baby sit between us for a little in bed?"
18666Had David gone to sleep on the floor?
18666Had he any responsible matron or spinster in the house, child?"
18666Had n''t we better run?
18666Had she gone up a step or two of the mountain she so longed to climb?
18666Have you got a coin about you, Miss?"
18666Have you got any cold water?
18666Have you injured her?"
18666Helen, do you know where the"Lectures on Elementary Cookery"is?
18666Helen, my dear, do you know where Flower is?
18666Helen, why do you look at me like that?
18666Helen, will you take Aunt Maria to the drawing- room?
18666How am I to manage those girls?"
18666How could she, how could she have taken our darling little baby away?
18666How could you be unkind to poor little Fly, Poll, when she is so devoted to you?"
18666How did you come by it?
18666How did you come by it?"
18666How did you find the children?"
18666How do you do, Nurse?
18666How glad I am you at least are not very ill.""Is that you, Flower?"
18666How is it that I have been left alone this entire evening?
18666How is it you are out here, lying on the moor, Polly?
18666How long is it since you parted from the others?"
18666How old are you?
18666How should she find the Doctor?
18666How strike Polly through her most vulnerable point?
18666How was a man''s own heart to do without the sympathy to which it had turned, the love which had strengthened, warmed, and sustained it?
18666How was the father of seven daughters, and two very scampish little sons, to bring them up alone and unaided?
18666How was the shepherd to get it?
18666I am sure girls as young as we are have done harder things before, so why should not we try?"
18666I ask you to answer me quite honestly-- if you undertake it, are you in the least likely to succeed?"
18666I blamed her for not coming sooner, but-- what''s the matter, Doctor?"
18666I can easily make a fruit tart for father, as well as the pancakes, and wo n''t he enjoy Mrs. White''s nice cream?
18666I have been away for four days, and am in the house five minutes, and not the voice of a child do I hear?
18666I have offended your aunt, Mrs. Cameron, as it is, and what will she say if I yield to you on this point?
18666I suppose you are every one of you thinking that she''s the very nicest and cleverest and perfectest girl you ever met?"
18666I suppose you were weeping in that loud and violent manner at the thought of the grief of the person who had lost this treasure?"
18666I want to get to Sleepy Hollow, Dr. Maybright''s place-- am I far away?"
18666I want to know if it''s your wish, Doctor?"
18666I was in a passion and angry when I took her away; now I repent, and am sorry, and I give her back to you?
18666I''m all prepared-- shall we go into the subject now?"
18666Ill?
18666In that case, what would you expect me to do?"
18666Is David anywhere about?"
18666Is Tommy''s toothache better?"
18666Is anything wrong?
18666Is he as great an antiquary as ever?
18666Is it a dripping cake, or is it a cream cake, or is it a butter- and- egg cake?
18666Is it really under a damp arbutus shrub that the grown- ups intend to take counsel?"
18666Is my own dearest little dog to suffer for such a person''s whims?
18666Is n''t he a darling?
18666Is n''t it, Nell?"
18666Is n''t she sweet to- day?
18666Is n''t this south moor lovely, Maggie?
18666Is she ill?
18666Is that all right?
18666Is the night air bad for babies?"
18666Is there, Maggie?"
18666Is this true what you have been telling me?"
18666Is your heart set on this, Polly, child?
18666It is n''t right to waste nice good butter, is it?"
18666Look here, Nell, let me speak to father, myself; if he says''yes,''you wo n''t object, will you?"
18666Maggie loves stories, too; do n''t you, Mag?
18666Maggie, do you want Nurse to come for little Pearl, or not?
18666Maggie, is it true that the-- that Dr. Maybright is very ill?"
18666May I give you some?
18666May I stay?"
18666May I tell you my story?"
18666Maybright?"
18666Maybright?"
18666Miss Polly, why did you speak of Peg- Top Moor, and the hermit''s hut, and berries and water?"
18666Mrs. Power is rather cross, but she''ll have to let me make what things I choose when I''m housekeeper, wo n''t she, father?"
18666My dear, who are they?"
18666Need we wait for her?"
18666No, no; rather than that-- can''t we effect a compromise, Nell?"
18666Now I wonder which is the nearest way to the town?
18666Now has nobody got a ball, and wo n''t the jolliest begin?"
18666Now shall I fetch you the flour and the roller, and the milk, Miss Polly?"
18666Now she roused herself, and asked in a slightly weary voice:"Who is Maggie?"
18666Now what were those sobs about?
18666Now what''s the row?"
18666Now where are you going, Miss Polly, love?"
18666Now, David, what do you mean by a great passion?
18666Now, David, what is it?"
18666Now, Fly, will you go behind that furze bush and bring me a square, flat board, which you will find there?"
18666Now, Katie, will you read your English History lesson aloud?"
18666Now, Mabel and Dolly, shall I tell you what we did that dark night when David and I stole out through the pantry window?"
18666Now, Patrick, what have you been up to?
18666Now, Scorpion, what is the matter?
18666Now, do you know what we are going to have for dinner?"
18666Now, do you think you can lean on me, and so get back to Sleepy Hollow?"
18666Now, have you, or have you not, a four- poster, in which I can sleep?"
18666Now, how often do you intend me to put this basket in order for you?"
18666Now, look here, would n''t this be fun?"
18666Now, shall I fetch you the flour and things from the store- room, Miss?
18666Now, then, driver,"opening the window and poking her head out,"when are we getting to Sleepy Hollow?
18666Now, what is it you are called?
18666Now, what is it, Flower?"
18666Now, what is that?
18666Now, who is that crying and sobbing in the dark?"
18666Now, young lady, have you or have you not taken leave of your senses?"
18666Nurse, I wonder if you''d do something for me?"
18666Oh, Alice, what is it?
18666Oh, dear, where''s the cookery book?
18666Oh, my word, and is that the little foreign gentleman?
18666Oh, oh, what shall I do?
18666Oh, what am I to do, what am I to do?"
18666Oh, what did God mean?
18666Oh, where is he?
18666Oh, who will up and follow me To win a bonny bride?"
18666Oh, who will with me ride?
18666Only what about the other children?
18666Poll, dear, what is the matter?
18666Polly Parrot-- where are you, Polly?"
18666Power?"
18666Power?"
18666Ricketts,''said she, dear lamb,''will you help me to go away to Mrs. Cameron, to Bath?
18666Ricketts?"
18666SHOULD THE STRANGERS COME?
18666SHOULD THE STRANGERS COME?
18666See, is she not friendly?
18666Shall I look over my history lesson for an hour, and then practise scales on the piano?"
18666Shall I show it to you?"
18666Shall we come to the dining room at once?
18666She had got to Polly''s home, but how was she to accomplish her revenge?
18666She has some reason for this, but she will explain everything to her sister Nell, wo n''t you, darling?"
18666Show Polly that she approved of her conduct?
18666Sit you down in that easy chair, Miss Flower; and would you like to hold baby for a bit?
18666Sleepy Hollow''s right in the village, and most likely there''ll be a light in the Doctor''s study window; be quick, for Heaven''s sake, Miss Flower?"
18666So Helen knows, and has spoken about it, poor girl?"
18666Somebody thought I would take her in, and be kind to her, and pet her, and give her your cream, did she not?
18666Still-- what is the matter, my dear child?"
18666Suppose you go for a week''s holiday on Monday?"
18666Sure, what else could she do, lovey?
18666Surely you have not been cruel to him?"
18666Susan, was n''t that a little round speck of a hole in that towel?
18666Tell me, Helen, how long does your father intend to be away?"
18666Tell me, has David confessed?"
18666That is a much better arrangement than having a resident governess, is it not?"
18666That was-- that was-- What''s the matter, Polly?"
18666That''s a very nice dinner, Miss,''olesome and good, and you''ll let me toss the pancakes, wo n''t you, Miss Polly?"
18666The next point to consider was, who were to be the invited guests?
18666Then his voice and manner changed; he put on a company smile, and continued, without any pause,"How is your husband?
18666Then she paused, hesitated, colored slightly, and said, in a dubious manner,"Is it the rose room you mean, Miss Helen?
18666There are two dawgs there: be you afeard?"
18666Under the bed, or in this cupboard?"
18666WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN?
18666WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN?
18666Was Scorpion dead that he had ceased to snore?
18666Was he better?
18666Was he not her dutiful subject as well as her little brother?
18666Was he worse?
18666Was she not his queen as well as sister?
18666Was she really-- really to- day, at least-- trying to climb successfully the highest mountain?
18666Was there anything so unreasonable and monstrous as her dislike to poor little Maggie?
18666Was there ever such a father?"
18666We had a nasty breakfast to- day, had n''t we, Nell?
18666Well, Helen, again objecting; you evidently mean to cross me in everything; now what is the matter?
18666Well, well, how could Helen marry a man like Dr. Maybright, and come to live here?
18666Were Maggie''s tales true?
18666Were there really queer and unnatural creatures to be found on the moor?
18666What are they, father?
18666What are you afraid of?"
18666What are you looking at?"
18666What are you puckering your brows for, Helen?
18666What are you staring at me for?"
18666What are you staring at me in that rude way for, girl?
18666What are you staring at me so hard for?"
18666What are your brothers''names, my dear?"
18666What can David have to say to it?"
18666What can I do to help you, Miss?
18666What can be the matter?
18666What do you accuse me of?"
18666What do you say, Strong?
18666What do you think of this plan, Nell?
18666What has nurse been about?
18666What have I done?"
18666What have I done?"
18666What have you come to me for?"
18666What in the world have you come to me for, Daisy?"
18666What is Flower more than any other girl?
18666What is Mrs. Cameron''s address?"
18666What is father''s trouble, and what was the plan?
18666What is it, my darling?"
18666What is the best way to walk?
18666What is the matter, Andrew?"
18666What is the matter, dear?
18666What is the matter, woman?
18666What is wrong?
18666What of anything now?
18666What other trouble has our dear father, Nell?
18666What right had this strange girl to come and take the lead in everything?
18666What road shall I take?"
18666What shall I do?
18666What shall I do?
18666What was she to do?--how was she now to find Flower and the baby?
18666What will Polly say?"
18666What you did yesterday like Flower?
18666What''s that about your father?
18666What''s the discovery?"
18666What''s the matter, Fly?
18666What''s the matter?
18666What''s the matter?"
18666What''s the matter?"
18666What''s the mystery?"
18666What_ is_ that awful sound approaching the house?"
18666Whatever''s that in your arms, and who''s a- follering of yer?"
18666When the little demon of temper gets into somebody she is n''t quite accountable, is she?"
18666When would the doctors come out?
18666When would the verdict be given?
18666Where are we going to?
18666Where are we to hide?"
18666Where are your brothers?
18666Where does the carrier live?"
18666Where have all the children vanished to?"
18666Where is Flower?
18666Where is Helen-- where is my pretty Poll?
18666Where is Mary?
18666Where is it?"
18666Where is the dog, miss?"
18666Where is the use of making such a fuss?"
18666Where is the young lady?
18666Where were Katie and the twins?
18666Where will you hide when Aunt Maria comes to visit me?
18666Where''s Helen?
18666Where''s Nell, where are the twins?"
18666Where''s the letter?
18666Who is it for?"
18666Who''s the jolliest here?
18666Who_ are_ Paul and Virginia-- have I not a large enough family without taking in the inhabitants of a desert island?
18666Why are you so dreadfully stupid?
18666Why did Flower come here?
18666Why did I want her to come?
18666Why did mother go away?
18666Why did not Polly come in?
18666Why did you let her go, children?"
18666Why did you stay talking so long?
18666Why do you all stand round and stare at me like that?
18666Why do you make things worse for me and for us all just now?"
18666Why do you want to leave?
18666Why had all the supper disappeared?
18666Why has your face such a piteous look upon it?"
18666Why is it that the children have run away?"
18666Why not Dr. Maybright?
18666Why should not her influence reach you and Helen and Dolly from where she now is?
18666Why should our dearest household word be buried?
18666Why should she rule us all, and try to make things uncomfortable for us?
18666Why should she spoil our lives, and prevent our helping you?
18666Why wo n''t you tell what you know, dear Fly?"
18666Why, Miss Polly, oh, lor, what is the matter, Miss?"
18666Why, on this morning of all mornings, should time go on wings?
18666Why, what is the matter, David?
18666Why, what is the matter, Poll Parrot?"
18666Will no one dance a hornpipe with me?
18666Will she half kill her, Nell?"
18666Will she live?"
18666Will that woman never leave me in peace?
18666Will you be my friend?"
18666Will you come into the dining- room now, and let me get you some tea?"
18666Will you do it?"
18666Will you have this beautiful uncut diamond for the money you have in the house?"
18666Will you hold her, Miss?
18666Will you treat it as a great, enormous secret?
18666Wo n''t you wait until Monday before you telegraph for her?"
18666Would any one but Polly have forgiven her for taking that pound to save her mother''s furniture?
18666Would you both like to come?"
18666Would you go down''to the kitchen and choose a nice little dinner for me?"
18666Would you like it?
18666Would you like to earn a shilling?"
18666Yes-- what is the matter, Polly?"
18666You ai n''t''ungry enough for that, be you, Miss?"
18666You do n''t mean to say you have dared to bring the infant here, Daisy?"
18666You do n''t suppose seriously that your Aunt Maria can disturb my equanimity?"
18666You look very tired yourself, wo n''t you go to bed now?"
18666You wanted to be a grown- up too-- you are seven years old, are you not?"
18666You will be lenient, wo n''t you, Aunt Maria, for she is very young?"
18666You would not, for instance, wish to give him anxiety, or to injure him?"
18666You''re quite sure, Fly, that you all think it was_ I_ made your father ill?"
18666Your mother lives in the village, does she not?"
18666about the tending of babbies?"
18666are n''t you just the darlingest of all darling fathers?
18666continued Maggie to herself,"what can Miss Flower want with mother?
18666continued Polly,"do you think we can any of us ever do anything naughty again if father gets better?"
18666exclaimed Polly,"was there ever such an idea thought of?"
18666father, you will surely try it?"
18666has he not?
18666it is n''t true, Bob?
18666it is n''t true, Bunny?
18666said Polly;"but_ how_ can we prevent it, Flower?"
18666said Polly;"what?
18666she have money to pay?"
18666then, is n''t she the sweetest and prettiest lamb in all the world?"
18666turning to the other doctor,"do all these girls and boys belong to Maybright?
18666what do you think?
18666what is that?
18666what is the world coming to?
18666what should she do?
18666where has Flower taken baby?
18666where is Katharine?
18666where is Polly?"
18666where is that cookery book?
18666why did I love you, but to lose you?
18666why?"
18666will you never reveal it, Polly?"
18666you are not going to trouble father, so ill as he is, about that poor, miserable little dog?"
18666you darlingest of fathers; then you wo n''t be angry if poor Maggie sits next me; and has her dinner with us?
18666your removal has doubtless spared you many sorrows, for what could you expect of the future of such a family as yours?
43120A baroness? 43120 A bet?"
43120A cake made by Hannah?
43120A friend of yours, Dumps?
43120A girl you were fond of-- and you have her clothes, and would like me to wear them?
43120A miniature? 43120 A what?"
43120A what?
43120Aggravate you?
43120All of it?
43120All right; but what am I to say to that silly Comtesse?
43120Am I to sit up in my room all day and never speak to father and-- and his wife?
43120Am I?
43120And Heinrich?
43120And Hermione Aldyce goes too?
43120And did I behave so handsomely, Hannah? 43120 And do n''t you remember her?"
43120And do you always have your meals with that sort of stream of learning pouring down you?
43120And have you ever been rude to her?
43120And if he does, what matter?
43120And is this Dumps?
43120And my step- mother?
43120And other people, when they know that they have lost their senses, do n''t believe them?
43120And pray, Comtesse, what have you to do with the English way? 43120 And she does n''t do that for the English girls?"
43120And some day when I''m rich you''ll let me have it photographed, wo n''t you?
43120And to Paris? 43120 And to, perhaps, poor Riki?"
43120And what about that?
43120And what are you leaving behind that is so specially valuable, Augusta?
43120And what have you put on your best frock for, and why are you all prunes and prisms? 43120 And what if I be?"
43120And what is that?
43120And what was that?
43120And whatever do you come and say that to me for?
43120And whatever was that? 43120 And where did you get the dress, Miss-- Miss Dumps?"
43120And where''s your brown- paper parcel? 43120 And who in the name of wonder may she be?"
43120And why in the name of fortune should I be merry? 43120 And why in the world should you be lonely?"
43120And why not?
43120And why should I? 43120 And why should not people hear?
43120And why, child? 43120 And why?
43120And will she tell my people at home?
43120And you are happy?
43120And you are not? 43120 And you have brothers and sisters-- half brothers and sisters?"
43120And you look forward to that?
43120And you think Rita and Agnes Swan, the daughters of our local doctor, quite delightful companions?
43120And you will perhaps post it; is it not so?
43120And you-- what did you do?
43120Are n''t you coming out to stand on the balcony a little, and to chat? 43120 Are n''t you getting up?"
43120Are n''t you glad I am back?
43120Are n''t you happy, Dumps?
43120Are we going shopping?
43120Are you really ill, Augusta? 43120 Are you talking about that queer, half- mad girl?"
43120As if what mattered?
43120Ask this child to tea to- morrow.--Come, wo n''t you, Miss-- Grant? 43120 Believe''em?
43120Better than Miss Donnithorne understands him?
43120But I tell you what it is-- oh, they call you Dumps, do n''t they?
43120But I thought, father, that you did not want us to be extravagant?
43120But are there cookies and good things for tea?
43120But ca n''t she get it, Mrs Moore?
43120But do n''t you?
43120But does he at most times?
43120But does n''t he have a good nourishing meal, the sort to sustain a brain like his?
43120But does n''t she ever eat?
43120But have you heard definitely?
43120But how am I to find my way to my room?
43120But how is the good gentleman?
43120But how? 43120 But ought n''t she to let us know, Dumps?"
43120But straight,said Riki--"straight?
43120But suppose father should come out? 43120 But surely French is very dainty?"
43120But surely she is quite a nice girl?
43120But surely you will think of your marriage within about a year or two, will you not?
43120But there was our mother--"She was n''t with us last Christmas, was she?
43120But was the ten pounds father''s?
43120But we must go on being friends outwardly, and_ perhaps_--you have been confirmed, have you not?
43120But what am I doing?
43120But what are you going to do, Hannah? 43120 But what is it?
43120But what is your name, please?
43120But what would you do,she said a few minutes afterwards,"if these things were not arranged?
43120But when did you get it?
43120But where are you going?
43120But why am I to go there?
43120But why do you want to get rid of me? 43120 But why in the world about me?
43120But why not?
43120But why not?
43120But why should I post it? 43120 But why should I?"
43120But why should you do it? 43120 But why so?"
43120But why so?
43120But why?
43120But you do n''t think I did it on purpose, do you?
43120But you will keep him up to the mark; you will take my advice, wo n''t you?
43120But your father?
43120But, father, the lecture at the Royal Society?
43120But, please,called out Hermione as she was closing the door,"what are we to call you?"
43120But,I said,"our dinner?"
43120But?
43120By the way, Dumps, I gave you that picture of your mother?
43120By- the- bye, Von Marlo, did you notice the grand passage you and the other fellows were construing this afternoon? 43120 Ca n''t you stay a minute now?"
43120Can I help you, Hannah?
43120Can I help you?
43120Chums?
43120Come, dear,cried the pleasant voice,"are you ready?
43120Contrasts?
43120Could what?
43120Did I not say that of all the school it was natural I should select you to be to me a companion?
43120Did n''t I see father put it down at the time of the last census?
43120Did n''t you hear a very sharp ring at the hall door about three o''clock?
43120Did n''t you know you were going?
43120Did you,she said,"notice anything special about Riki?"
43120Did you?
43120Do n''t I look nice in my new dress? 43120 Do n''t fret me, Rachel; what does it matter what I call you?
43120Do n''t what?
43120Do n''t you attend to your father''s wants?
43120Do n''t you ever want to watch the scenery?
43120Do n''t you want Mrs Herring? 43120 Do roses really grow like that?"
43120Do they call you Mrs Joyce?
43120Do you know that you aggravate me more each moment?
43120Do you not know that for a young lady in this school to have a correspondence with a schoolboy, as the Comtesse Riki has done, is quite scandalous? 43120 Do you think it would be possible for you to bring them to our house?
43120Do you think so much of your birthdays?
43120Do you think we might?
43120Do you think your father would like it?
43120Do you?
43120Do?
43120Does she grudge you your tea?
43120Doing? 43120 Doing?"
43120Dreadful? 43120 Dumps, I ca n''t help thinking that you-- but oh, perhaps you''d rather not share your room with me?"
43120Dumps, is it you who is going to submit tame-- you, who had a mother?
43120Eh-- eh?
43120Eh? 43120 Eh?
43120Eh?
43120Eh?
43120Father, have you got anywhere a picture of my mother?
43120Father, have you had any food?
43120Father,I said,"may I ask you something?"
43120Fond of me? 43120 For a year?"
43120Frighten them? 43120 Ghosts?"
43120Go away?
43120Go to her door and knock, and see if she will come out and tell us; wo n''t you, Dumps?
43120Had to? 43120 Hannah has told you?"
43120Hannah, are you downstairs?
43120Hannah, what do you mean?
43120Have I hurt you in any way? 43120 Have I?"
43120Have we not a Professor in common?
43120Have you heard?
43120Have you no purse, dear?
43120Have you nothing more to say?
43120Have you one?
43120Have you seen Miss Donnithorne''s garden?
43120He could always do as he liked, could n''t he? 43120 He said that?"
43120He was the person you wrote to, was he not?
43120Heinrich?
43120Hermione, how dare you say it?
43120How are you, Rachel?
43120How can I help it?
43120How can any one girl talk three languages at once?
43120How can you?
43120How could I? 43120 How d''you know what age I be?"
43120How did you manage to write two letters?
43120How do you do, Rachel?
43120How do you do, Rachel?
43120How do you do?
43120How do you do?
43120How do you do?
43120How do you know, Miss Donnithorne?
43120How is Grace Donnithorne?
43120How is father?
43120How many girls are there altogether at the school?
43120How much did he give you?
43120How would you manage things? 43120 I can lend you some rubbers; but what size are your feet?"
43120I like mother?
43120I say,said Alex, coming up to me and speaking in a very loud semi- whisper,"have they come to tea?"
43120I will take the next,I said;"and, Augusta, will you have that one?"
43120I wonder if Hermione Aldyce will suit you?
43120I wonder, Dumps,she said,"if you are a very proud girl?"
43120If you do n''t think it impertinent, would you tell me what your age may be?
43120If you see him, can you just tell him how he has helped me?
43120In what way?
43120Is anything wrong?
43120Is it to be expected that I should always do what we call right?
43120Is it true,I asked suddenly, and I laid my hand on her lap,"that you are very rich?"
43120Is it?
43120Is she coming here to- morrow?
43120Is that an old engagement, Rachel?
43120Is that poor girl mad?
43120Is that you, Von Marlo?
43120Is the carriage waiting, Hermione?
43120Is the room mine? 43120 Is this the drawing- room?"
43120It is quite awful, is n''t it?
43120It is, how do you ever manage to get to school in the morning? 43120 It smells good, does n''t it?"
43120It''s I. I am smart, am I not, Hannah?
43120Jolly?
43120Just let me walk round it once, will you?
43120Killed?
43120Knew it? 43120 Know what?"
43120Leave you? 43120 Like what?"
43120Lost?
43120May I see father?
43120Mean? 43120 Miss Dumps, how dare you?"
43120Miss-- Grace-- Donnithorne?
43120Miss-- Grace-- Donnithorne?
43120Must n''t what?
43120My dear Dumps, wherever are your eyes? 43120 My dear child, will you not understand once and for all that it is my aim and wish to do what I can to make you happy?
43120My dear good creature, do you think that Lilian St Leger could keep anything to herself? 43120 My fault?"
43120Next what?
43120Nice hair?
43120No,I answered,"And, Von Marlo,"I continued,"what do you call her?"
43120Noise?
43120Not talk of it? 43120 Nothing, Dumps?
43120Now then, Miss Rachel, what do you want?
43120Now this is a new era; what will it do for us both?
43120Now, if you lived in our house, would you make things different?
43120Now, that will do, wo n''t it? 43120 Now, what can I do to help you?"
43120Now, which door are we to knock at?
43120Of course; what else does any girl look forward to?
43120Oh Charley, where?
43120Oh Hannah, will you never understand?
43120Oh Hannah,I said, nestling up a little closer to her in the cab,"are n''t you ever a little bit sorry that I''m going away?"
43120Oh Riki,I said,"what is the matter?"
43120Oh father, is anything wrong?
43120Oh, but you wo n''t frighten them?
43120Oh, how do you get on? 43120 Oh, she has told you?"
43120Oh, then, you do n''t like her? 43120 Oh, then, you have had your beloved one?"
43120Oh, we''ll choose a cosier one than this-- eh, Dumps?
43120Oh, what are they going to do with her, poor thing?
43120Oh, wo n''t you, though? 43120 Oh, you are going there?"
43120Oh, you have n''t turned her away?
43120Ought I not,I said,"to wait for Augusta?"
43120Paris?
43120Perhaps you would like to go back to your mother and make arrangements?
43120Queer?
43120Rachel, my dear child,she said,"how old are you?"
43120Riki, where is the good of prevaricating?
43120Shall I get you a cup of tea?
43120Shall we all go into the hall?
43120Shall we go down to supper?
43120She has read it, has she not?
43120She?
43120She?
43120So you are going to school next week?
43120So you are lonely, Dumps?
43120Surely it is all round her?
43120That lovely green hat with the bird- of- Paradise in it?
43120That queer Dutch boy-- that foreigner? 43120 That''s nonsense.--Alex, push her into that chair.--Now, how much money have you got?"
43120The Baroness? 43120 The Professor ill?"
43120The Professor?
43120The birthdays?
43120The house with whom?
43120The house?
43120The lord of the house?
43120The rules in her bedroom?
43120The what?
43120Then ca n''t you three be sensible?
43120Then he never gave it to me?
43120Then it''s quite true,said Alex,"that we are to have the whole evening to ourselves?
43120Then most of your days are dull, little Rachel?
43120Then she did not want to have it kept a secret?
43120Then why did n''t you come to school?
43120Then you are not sixteen yet?
43120Then you know all about it, father?
43120Then you wo n''t stay for the sake of the boys?
43120Then, Hannah, what will you do?
43120Then, father darling, is your head better?
43120Then, step- mother, you are going to support her?
43120They''re both awfully nice; do n''t you think so?
43120They''re to be found in the big shops, are n''t they?
43120Things of that sort-- can they be bought ready to put on?
43120Those delightful things on the sofa are presents? 43120 To walk on such a day, Rachel?
43120Vexed?
43120Well, Dumps,she said,"I wonder how you''ll like it?"
43120Well, Dumps,she said,"and so you have solved the mystery?"
43120Well, Dumps?
43120Well, Hannah, what about the spare room?
43120Well, I suppose,I said,"you are going to give me a lecture about her?"
43120Well, I''m sure,said Charley,"why should she have been so cross and disobliging when we really wanted somebody-- when we had no sort of mother?
43120Well, look here, you want girls about you, do you?
43120Well, well,they said,"how are you?
43120Well, you are very fond of books, are you not?
43120Were you indeed?
43120Were you thinking of moving?
43120What about tea or coffee?
43120What about tea?
43120What about?
43120What about?
43120What am I put into the world for except to help others?
43120What are you talking about?
43120What call have you to be opening the hall door?
43120What can it be?
43120What did you do?
43120What do we not owe you, you kind English girl, with the so kind, good face? 43120 What do you exactly mean by that?"
43120What do you mean by that?
43120What do you mean by that?
43120What do you mean by you did and you did n''t?
43120What do you mean by` none of us''?
43120What do you mean now, Von?
43120What do you mean, dear? 43120 What do you mean, father?"
43120What do you mean? 43120 What do you mean?"
43120What do you mean?
43120What do you mean?
43120What do you mean?
43120What do you mean?
43120What do you think has happened to me?
43120What do you think?
43120What do you want?
43120What does all this mean?
43120What does that mean?
43120What does this mean? 43120 What for?"
43120What happened?
43120What have I been doing?
43120What have you been doing?
43120What have you been doing?
43120What in the world are you thanking me about, Dumps?
43120What in the world do you mean? 43120 What in the world is more necessary for a girl who is one day to be a woman than to know how to keep a house comfortable?"
43120What is a pity?
43120What is it my little Rachel wants?
43120What is it, Charley?
43120What is it, dear?
43120What is it? 43120 What is it?"
43120What is it?
43120What is it?
43120What is no secret?
43120What is she doing?
43120What is she like, Von?
43120What is that?
43120What is that?
43120What is that?
43120What is the matter with Augusta?
43120What is the matter with you?
43120What is the matter, Riki?
43120What is the matter?
43120What is the matter?
43120What is the matter?
43120What is the matter?
43120What is the meaning of this?
43120What is the poor house doing?
43120What is the subject of your father''s next lecture?
43120What new school?
43120What night is your father''s lecture?
43120What was she really like?
43120What woman?
43120What would poor, poor Heinrich do if you had not?
43120What''s all that murmuring and muttering and shuffling that is going on downstairs?
43120What''s that?
43120What''s the matter?
43120What''s up now, Dumps?
43120What, father?
43120What?
43120What?
43120Whatever am I to say over again? 43120 When a room''s shut up for going on fourteen years, why should n''t it smell musty?
43120When are they coming back?
43120When people have lost their senses they say and do all sorts of queer things, do n''t they?
43120Where are you going, Rachel? 43120 Where are you, Rachel?"
43120Where have you been? 43120 Where is Dumps?"
43120Where is your luggage, my dear?
43120Where would you wish your hot water to be placed, Mrs Grant?
43120Where''s Augusta?
43120Where''s the good?
43120Which play of Sophocles do you regard as his greatest?
43120Who are they, please?
43120Who are you? 43120 Who cares for the pantomime?"
43120Who did it?
43120Who is she?
43120Who told you that?
43120Who wants a table- cloth?
43120Who''s there?
43120Who, Miss Donnithorne?
43120Why ca n''t you make the best of it? 43120 Why did she die?"
43120Why do n''t you tell me now?
43120Why do you speak in that exaggerated sort of way? 43120 Why do you stop?"
43120Why naturally? 43120 Why not to Wallis''s?
43120Why not? 43120 Why should I come?"
43120Why should I leave them alone?
43120Why should the fact of being an earl''s daughter make me a scrap better than you, who are the daughter of a very great professor? 43120 Why so?"
43120Why speak of that?
43120Why that tone of suffering? 43120 Why will you keep away?"
43120Why will you so speak? 43120 Why, Hannah, how could I go out?
43120Why, is there anything very dreadful in it?
43120Why, what do you mean?
43120Why, where''s the difficulty?
43120Will you come, Charley?
43120Wo n''t you be in to dinner, father?
43120Worshipping him?
43120Would n''t what?
43120Would you greatly mind raising your voice a little?
43120Would you like to take your jacket off?
43120Would you mind very much if you were to repeat once more your so difficult remark?
43120Yes, dear?
43120Yes, is n''t it, father? 43120 Yes, yes?"
43120Yes; do n''t you know?
43120Yes; how can I bear to stay at the school when I am disgraced?
43120Yes; what is it?
43120Yes?
43120You admire him very much, do n''t you, Dumps?
43120You ai n''t never put a brown- paper parcel in the van, child?
43120You and I will stand shoulder to shoulder, wo n''t we?
43120You are a foreigner?
43120You are going up all those other stairs with that tray?
43120You are going, perhaps, to shops to buy things?
43120You are in so great a hurry, are you not?
43120You are not interested in him, I hope?
43120You are supposed to be nothing but a child?
43120You do n''t know? 43120 You do n''t mean a dress allowance?"
43120You do n''t mean to say that Miss Donnithorne has n''t told you that your father is coming to have tea with you both?
43120You had read the rules?
43120You have missed your mother''s care?
43120You have n''t read those, have you?
43120You have the goodness within-- you perhaps have not the beauty without; but what does that matter when goodness within is more valuable? 43120 You knew it at that time?"
43120You know my brothers, do n''t you, Rita?
43120You never heard of Sophocles?
43120You remember mother very well, do n''t you, Hannah?
43120You remember that?
43120You sent for me, my Baroness?
43120You suggested it, did n''t you?
43120You want it?
43120You were ill in mind; that is the worst sort of illness, is n''t it?
43120You will write, father?
43120You wish I would n''t? 43120 You wish what, Rachel?"
43120You wo n''t, will you?
43120Your father''s dress allowance?
43120A person who can make good repartees is much appreciated, do n''t you know?"
43120After a pause I said,"But why are you anxious about her now?"
43120After a time I continued-- for she kept on looking at me--"Would you change with me if you could?"
43120After all, why should I not make the best of things?
43120Alex managed to whisper to me,"Have you no eye for contrasts?"
43120Am I now to be blindfolded?"
43120And doubtless you wish to have mine?
43120And how do you say he prepared the egg?"
43120And the mademoiselles here-- what have they to think of and to talk of?
43120And this is your dear little friend.-- How do you do, Miss Grant?
43120And to be honest, Hannah, is n''t it now, frankly, very much nicer than it was?"
43120And what, may I ask, are you doing in my house, and venturing up to my rooms, sir?--What is the meaning of this, Rachel?
43120And where art thou, My country?"
43120And where is the Knight of the Poached Egg?
43120And where?"
43120And who is she?"
43120And whoever in the name of fortune fried up that rabbit?
43120And why should n''t he be in bed?"
43120And you_ are_ Dumps?"
43120Are they strong?"
43120Are you always in a dream as you are now?"
43120Are you awake?
43120Are you_ always_ doing_ outre_ things?
43120Be you going to school to- day?"
43120But before I go upstairs, do tell me, was it Hannah or yourself who chose_ that_?"
43120But had I enjoyed it?
43120But if you would n''t speak about that bird--""You have heard of it before?"
43120But surely she can not afford it?"
43120But what about your boots?
43120But where''s my Knight of the Poached Egg?
43120But why should I thus discompose myself?"
43120But would I?
43120But you are not afraid of ghosts, are you?"
43120But you saved it?"
43120But, all the same, if she is coming to live here, what is she like?
43120Can you get along the streets?
43120Come a little nearer to me, wo n''t you?"
43120Could I believe my own ears?
43120Could I take her gifts and stand aloof from her?
43120Did father give you any of the needful when he was going away to- day, Dumps?"
43120Did n''t the poor lady come to visit me in a dream the very night I heard of your pa''s marriage, and did n''t I promise that I''d never leave you?
43120Did n''t you tell me that you had outgrown your clothes, and was n''t I once and for all going to put a stop to that sort of thing?
43120Did you find Miss Grace Donnithorne dull?"
43120Did you give me that money, or did my father?"
43120Do n''t I wish to have your looks?
43120Do n''t you know, and you go to school every day?"
43120Do n''t you like it best of all, Alex?"
43120Do you ever have the great privilege of writing direct to your father?"
43120Do you know her?"
43120Do you know how to skate?"
43120Do you know that you have done something very wrong?"
43120Do you mind?"
43120Do you remember that leg of mutton?"
43120Do you suppose that a man who is saving his money to send his sons to Oxford or Cambridge can afford to buy dresses often?
43120Do you think it is only a vision?
43120Do you want me to bring you in some chocolates?"
43120Does he always talk like that, Dumps?"
43120Does n''t it belong to Mrs Grant-- I mean to my step- mother?
43120Does she need money to spend on her outward adornment?
43120Dumps, do you think it is true?
43120Dumps?"
43120Dumps?"
43120Eh?"
43120For instance, how will you like your new school?"
43120Forty- five, be I?
43120Gablestein?"
43120Good things to eat?
43120Had I not all my life sacrificed myself for his sake, as every one else had also done?
43120Had not Hannah supplied me with mutton- chops and potatoes, and Mrs Moore with hot cakes and fragrant tea?
43120Has she been planning this?"
43120Have I grown-- grown beautiful?"
43120Have we not both sighed over the_ mal- a- propos_ remarks of my dear mamma?
43120Have we not talked together over the lost Salviati?
43120Have you been attended to by a shoemaker?"
43120Have you been sitting by the fire?"
43120Have you got one?"
43120Have you never read those in your room?"
43120He stared at me and said,"Eh, Dumps-- eh?
43120He was much amused, and after a time he said, with a laugh,"And so you got tea for her?"
43120Here, Dumps, here; you''d like five shillings, would n''t you?"
43120Hermione said after a pause,"Miss Donnithorne told me that you were--""What?"
43120How can I question any of her wishes?
43120How could I be good when I was certain that I was surrounded by spies?
43120How could I be you?"
43120How dare you invite people to my house without my permission?"
43120How do you like her?"
43120How do you like it?"
43120How do you mean jolly?"
43120How old are you, Dumps?"
43120How old are you?"
43120How was I to endure this?
43120How was I to live?
43120I answered;"give away the clothes father bought for me, and take yours?"
43120I did not dare to say,"Wo n''t you read it?"
43120I love the great Herodotus-- the father of all history, is he not?"
43120I may go to a few of the dances and take a_ tour_[ dance] with the young men-- I should, of course, have many partners; but what is that?
43120I mean he never thought much about us, did he?"
43120I might have chosen the stupid, the so weary life of the good German housewife, instead of--""What do you mean?"
43120I said after a minute,"Step- mother, until I love you better, may I call you by that name?"
43120I was about to say,"Oh, will you help me to choose, for I do n''t know anything about dress?"
43120If your friend, the kind and gracious Hermione, goes out, will she not drop this letter into the post- box?"
43120If, for instance, I were like Augusta--""I wonder, Dumps, if it would greatly distress you if Augusta also went to the French school?"
43120In what shop did you buy it?"
43120Into the back drawing- room?
43120Is it new?
43120It was Russian fox, and, I thought, terribly expensive; but what was that to the lovely chinchilla?
43120Just give her a fair trial-- start her honest, do n''t you understand?"
43120Leave the house?
43120Loneliness?
43120Look here, Dumps, can these things be bought to hand?"
43120May I come in?"
43120May I take Miss Dumps right round the pond?
43120May he not receive this letter, this note of so true feeling from one he regards?
43120May it not be put into the box?"
43120Miss Rachel?"
43120My father?
43120Never, never since I was born did I meet a little girl quite so much the colour of-- the colour of--""The colour of what?"
43120Not the Salviati?"
43120Now the question is, would you like me to help you to choose some pretty dresses, or would you rather manage the whole affair yourself?"
43120Now then, Dumps, who''ll cut up the rabbit, and who''ll put it into the pan with the sausages?
43120Now then, Miss Dumps, what is it?
43120Now you will forgive Von Marlo?"
43120Now, does that content you?"
43120Now, what London girl does n''t own to a secret hankering for Paris-- Paris the gay, the fascinating, the beautiful?
43120Now, what do you think of me?"
43120Now, will you let me give you the costume that I have upstairs?"
43120Of course, it''s rather awkward, is n''t it?"
43120Oh, Miss Donnithorne, what would life be without birthdays?"
43120Oh, but have you had enough tea?"
43120Oh, do you think there is any chance of my being able to get a ticket for the next meeting of the Royal Society?
43120Oh, shadow, shadow of my own mother, were you really angry with me then?
43120Oh, when before had the old house close to the college seen such a feast?
43120One lady said,"How do you do, Miss Moore?"
43120Or did you, in the light of God''s Presence, understand too well what love really meant ever to be angry any more?
43120Rats?
43120Shall I meet you at four o''clock to- day just outside the Bayswater Station?
43120Shall we go on the top?"
43120Shall we go to- morrow morning to Evans''s?"
43120She immediately repeated with great emphasis:"_ And where are they_?
43120She is what you would-- I mean she_ was_--I do n''t suppose she is now, for when people are dreadfully wicked they change, do n''t they?
43120She rubbed her eyes and said,"Where was I?"
43120She watched me as I performed these little offices; then she said,"You will forgive me, child, but do n''t you keep any servants in this great house?"
43120She''s a step- mother, and what''s a step- mother but a sort of person who is in league against the children of the first wife?
43120So I said after a pause,"Which of the plays of Sophocles do you like best, father?"
43120That makes all the difference; does n''t it, father?"
43120That''s a picture of her, is n''t it?
43120The blue hat?
43120The girl who was always in despair about the possibility of mending her old stockings any longer, whose gloves had mostly holes in the fingers?
43120Then I added,"Is Nancy one of your servants?"
43120Then I added,"Why do you say so?"
43120Then a cheerful voice said,"Well, here we are.--And you are Hannah, I think?
43120Then father said,"Where are the children?
43120Then she said gently,"Does he always talk as much as he did at tea?"
43120There''s no other bedroom on that landing, so you can not miss it, can you?"
43120There, now, what do you say to that?"
43120Think you not that will be a very beautiful occasion for us all?"
43120Von Marlo came straight up to me and said:"Can I do anything for you?
43120Von Marlo is Dutch, and very proud of his country-- aren''t you, Von Marlo?"
43120Von?"
43120Was I beholden to her for everything?
43120Was I going blind?
43120Was I in Paris, or in the old house, or in altogether new surroundings?
43120Was he dead?
43120Was not the first Rachel always spoken of as one of the most beautiful women in all the world?
43120Was there anything at all in the strange words of Agnes and Rita Swan?
43120Was there ever a girl so bullied before?
43120Was this indeed the same desolate house where I had lived ever since my mother died?
43120We are as jolly as we can be, and our step- mother is as good as gold, and why should we make mischief?
43120We were looking into pitch- black darkness, but we heard a muffled voice say,"Yes, Miss Rachel?
43120We''ll stick to our bargain, wo n''t we, Alex?"
43120Well, will you come to tea with us to- night?"
43120Were not its interests ours, the girls who lived there our friends, and the life we lived the only one worth living?
43120Were we not part and parcel of the house?
43120What I want to know is, why have you come bothering down, and why have you took it into your head that the Professor is ill?
43120What are you talking about, Dumps?"
43120What could father have to say to me?
43120What could he mean?
43120What could he mean?
43120What did you say?"
43120What do you say, Dumps?
43120What do you say?"
43120What do you think?"
43120What does it matter whether I speak of her as Dumps, or Stumps, or Rachel, or Annie, or any other title?
43120What else has a girl of my great nation to think of and talk of?
43120What girl can resist an unopened parcel?
43120What girl would not?
43120What has happened to me?
43120What have you been doing?"
43120What is she but second to him?
43120What is the matter?
43120What is the matter?"
43120What is the matter?"
43120What possessed her to wear it?
43120What should be the matter?
43120What should make her pet you, and fondle you, and dress you up if she had n''t had in her mind the getting of a husband?
43120What should make her take up with you-- a plain girl like you, with no sort of attraction that any living being ever yet discovered?
43120What sort?"
43120What special hatred have you for that shop?"
43120What was the good of having a learned Professor for a father when he hardly noticed you?
43120What was the matter with my eyes?
43120What would they not feel?
43120What would you say to me?"
43120What''s in a name?"
43120What''s the matter with you, Dumps?"
43120What''s the matter?"
43120What''s to make me merry?"
43120What''s wanted now?"
43120Whatever are you pondering about?
43120Whatever have I done?"
43120When did you get it?"
43120When she had come to the end she said,"How many mistakes did I make?"
43120When would my step- mother go?
43120Where are you going?"
43120Where can we get coals?
43120Where in the name of fortune did you get them things from?"
43120Where shall we go to have a nice little talk all to ourselves?
43120Where shall we go?"
43120Where was the girl whose dress was outgrown, whose hats had often not the semblance of respectability about them?
43120Where was this girl, with her hungry eyes, her shivering body?
43120Where''s the use?
43120Wherever be the parcel?"
43120Which special one do you now allude to?"
43120Who''d ever believe what people who have gone crazy say and do?"
43120Why did I like her and yet dislike her?
43120Why did n''t you live just a little longer, darling-- just until I grew up, and Alex grew up, and Charley grew up?
43120Why did n''t you, dearest, darling?"
43120Why did she draw herself up each moment?
43120Why did you do it?"
43120Why do I say little?
43120Why do you talk such rot?"
43120Why ever should you guess?"
43120Why is he not present?"
43120Why should I dare to take that sacred name?
43120Why should I?
43120Why should it sag in that hideous way over your forehead?
43120Why should n''t we be friends?"
43120Why should n''t we?"
43120Why should the girls look at me?
43120Why should they be shabby?"
43120Why should you be cold, Dumps?"
43120Why?"
43120Will you at least wear it to- morrow for my sake?"
43120Will you not take it downstairs and put it with the other letters in the letter- box?"
43120Will you put it on to- morrow?
43120Will you take me somewhere where I can have a chat with you?"
43120Will you trust her to me?"
43120Will you wear it?"
43120Will you, as I am not allowed to go out, take this and put it into a letter- box?"
43120Wo n''t they roar?
43120Would Hannah trouble herself to attend to it?
43120Would he remark my dark- blue costume, and be angry with me for not wearing my brown skirt and red blouse?
43120Would n''t you like to see it?"
43120Would the change be for the better?
43120Would the letter explain?
43120Would you believe it?
43120You are Augusta''s special friend, are you not?"
43120You could come, could you not?"
43120You do n''t mean to say that you have come to this school without knowing the name of our head- mistress?"
43120You have much of the freedom, have you not?"
43120You have spent a little of your money on presents?
43120You will, will you not?"
43120You will, wo n''t you?
43120You wo n''t leave us, will you?"
43120You would like some tea, would n''t you, Miss Donnithorne?"
43120do n''t I remember the darkness in the old times?
43120have I let the cat out of the bag?"
43120how could seven young people keep absolutely quiet?
43120said Hermione--"do?
43120said Miss Donnithorne,"why ca n''t the child say she is fifteen and a half?"
43120said the Comtesse Riki,"what is it to be what you call ungrateful?"
43120she cried,"who''s that?"
43120that would be vare nice; but if you would, with your own letter, put this into the post also?"
43120to me?"
43120what are all those?"
43120what does that mean?"
43120what happened?
43120what more do you want?"
43120who''s that?"
43120why should you guess?
43120why talk nonsense to the child?
43120why was I so perverse that I thought I would welcome that skirt and hideous blouse if only I might be back again in the old days?
23266A double partnership-- eh, Charlie?
23266About Miss Graeme, was it?
23266About getting a living?
23266Accompanying Will? 23266 Ai n''t you afraid you''ll wake sister?"
23266Ai n''t you most afraid that it might hurt her to hear you say so?
23266Am I? 23266 And Lilias,"said Rose, almost in a whisper,"is she content?"
23266And Lilias?
23266And Sandy?
23266And are you goin''mother?
23266And are you going to keep house for Harry, at Elphinstone house, or is Mr Millar to have that?
23266And did he make it a condition that he should live on it?
23266And did-- did your sister think so, too? 23266 And do n''t Cousin Celestia like me?"
23266And do you know no one of the name?
23266And does it please you that Mr Ruthven has had better luck?
23266And hae you nothing to say, my bonnie wee lassie?
23266And has there been no word from_ her_ friends since? 23266 And have you taken care of her all the time?
23266And hear Mr Perry preach? 23266 And how are the bairns pleased with the prospect?"
23266And how are they all down- by?
23266And how did Sandy like Merleville, and all the people?
23266And how did she take it?
23266And is Miss Graeme good at her seam?
23266And is that all?
23266And is the big brother to come, too?
23266And is the little thing grateful?
23266And is the market garden secured?
23266And is your little sister as fond of flowers as ever?
23266And leave Rose here?
23266And my dear, might you no''take a seam? 23266 And she is quite well again?
23266And so you think you would like to keep a school?
23266And so your old nurse is coming?
23266And that''s the reason you took umbrage at him, and told your sister he was-- ahem, Harry?
23266And the obstinate old gentleman has not unbounded confidence in the powers of you and Harry?
23266And was it love at first sight?
23266And was it thinking of these pleasant things that made you sigh?
23266And what am I to say to Mrs Greenleaf? 23266 And what did he say?"
23266And what for no''?
23266And what for no? 23266 And what point may that be, if I may ask?"
23266And what shall we do without you?
23266And what will you do for him, in case he should give his uncle up for you?
23266And when was that?
23266And when will she be coming?
23266And where will you beguile me to, when you get me fairly out?
23266And wherefore not?
23266And who could I trust if I doubted you?
23266And who else?
23266And who is Mrs Tilman?
23266And who is little Miss Amy, that she speaks of? 23266 And who is the lady?
23266And why did you not?
23266And why not? 23266 And why not?"
23266And why, pray?
23266And will you never come back again, mother?
23266And would she have come?
23266And would she like to come?
23266And would you have known him?
23266And wouldna you like to go with us too, Sandy, man?
23266And yet who knows?
23266And yet you say their standard is a high one?
23266And you have more sense than to let the airs and nonsense of his bairn- wife vex you?
23266And you love him all the same?
23266And you will see about Harry-- what you wish for him?
23266And you''ll let me go willingly, Graeme?
23266And your uncle is really recovering from his last attack? 23266 And, Graeme, is there nothing still, to sanctify your daily labour, and make it work indeed?"
23266And, Harry, what do you suppose Mrs Roxbury cares about any of us, after all?
23266And, of course, you ca n''t tell a word about her dress?
23266Are they come?
23266Are they not friends? 23266 Are we never to have done with that unhappy man?"
23266Are you glad, Graeme?
23266Are you going out to- night, Harry?
23266Are you going out, Graeme?
23266Are you going to write all day, Graeme?
23266Are you no''weel the night?
23266Are you not going to sit down?
23266Are you not?
23266Are you spoiling your son, Fanny? 23266 Are you wearying for the spring, dear?"
23266Arthur,said his sister, earnestly,"you do not think this is my fault?
23266Bad news?
23266But Graeme, what ails you, that you look at me with a face like that?
23266But couldna Sandy go with us? 23266 But had n''t you better go out into the yard?
23266But how good a servant is she?
23266But it does seem as though one might naturally expect a little help from them that are spoken of as the lights of the world; now do n''t it?
23266But that is all nonsense about Arthur and little Miss Grove?
23266But that was quite different--"Did I tell you that I have got a new client? 23266 But what about Nelly?
23266But what about` papa and mamma,''to whom you were to be shown? 23266 But what ailed you?"
23266But what has kept you so long? 23266 But what is it, Janet?"
23266But what need to cross the sea?
23266But what was her dress, after all? 23266 But where''s the town?"
23266But which is it to be? 23266 But why should you wish to go?"
23266But why, Harry?
23266But why, in the name of common sense, did they think it necessary to wait and watch, as you call it? 23266 But why?"
23266But, Charlie,said Will from his corner,"what is this nonsense you have been telling Harry about Arthur and the beautiful Miss Grove?"
23266But, Graeme, you would never surely think of going away,--I mean, to stay always?
23266But, Janet, why need he part from him? 23266 But, my dear, is your work of more value than your eyes, that you are keeping at it in the dark?"
23266But, my dear, what ailed you at him you sent away the other week-- him that Rosie was telling me of?
23266But, my dear, why should you? 23266 But, papa, you are not ill, not more than you have been?"
23266But, when will it be?
23266But, who is he?
23266But, why should we not speak about it? 23266 By the by, Mr Elliott,"said her father, breaking rather suddenly into the conversation,"whom did your elder brother marry?"
23266By the by, is it true that young Roxbury is going into business with Mr Millar and your brother?
23266Call you_ that_ sugar?
23266Can I do anything for you and your friend, Rosie?
23266Can anything be worse than these?
23266Charlie, man,said Harry, rising suddenly,"did I not hear you promising Crofts to meet him to- night?
23266Come now, Mis''Nasmyth, you do n''t mean to say you thought I was one of the good ones?
23266Come, now; ai n''t that going it a little too strong? 23266 Could n''t you kind of make her think she was needed-- to her father or the little ones?
23266Dare I not?
23266Did I ever tell you about the beginning of Rosie''s acquaintance with her, long before that, when she wandered into the garden and saw the gowans?
23266Did I look troubled? 23266 Did I?
23266Did I? 23266 Did I?"
23266Did Mr Ruthven ken of Harry''s temptation? 23266 Did ever anybody hear such nonsense?"
23266Did n''t she leave her husband, or something, to come with you? 23266 Did n''t you hear what mamma said about her?
23266Did the thought of such a thing ever come into your mind?
23266Did you hear what Mr Millar said about the possibility of Harry''s being sent West? 23266 Did you not?
23266Did you see it all along?
23266Did you? 23266 Did you?"
23266Do I? 23266 Do n''t speak of it,"said Graeme, with great impatience;"and yet, as you say, why should she not?
23266Do n''t you mind, Miss Graeme?
23266Do n''t you think something less bitter would do as well?
23266Do n''t you? 23266 Do tell?"
23266Do you ever think you would like to go back again?
23266Do you know, Will, I sometimes wonder whether I can be the same person who came here with Rose and you? 23266 Do you mean because she fancied herself left alone this afternoon?"
23266Do you mean to say you have forgotten the postscript I saw in Rowland''s letter about Mr Green and his hopes and intentions? 23266 Do you mind that last night, beside the two graves?
23266Do you remember the Sabbath I first came among you? 23266 Do you think Harry is-- quite steady?"
23266Do you think Harry really cared? 23266 Do you think it is very like him?"
23266Do you think so? 23266 Do you think so?
23266Do you think so?
23266Do you, Graeme?
23266Does it?
23266Does she not make it plain? 23266 Eh, Graeme, isna yon a bonny water?"
23266Emily,said Harry,"why do you persist in going back to that horrid school?
23266For baby, I suppose?
23266For what?
23266For, what could I say? 23266 Graeme, are you afraid for me?"
23266Graeme, what is it? 23266 Graeme, what shall I say to you?
23266Graeme, why did you not tell Harry the true reason that you did not wish to go to Mrs Roxbury''s?
23266Graeme, you are not grudging your sister to such blessedness?
23266Graeme,said Harry,"what is all this about?
23266Graeme,said Marian, at last,"do you think papa kens?"
23266Graeme,said Rose,"do you think it wrong to go to parties-- to dance?
23266Graeme,said Will suddenly,"what are you thinking about?"
23266Graeme,said he, as she sat down,"have you seen Janet?"
23266Harry, why are you so determined to leave him? 23266 Harry, why?
23266Harry,said Mr Ruthven, gravely,"does your brother-- does your sister know of your desire to leave me?
23266Harry,said his sister, gravely,"is it surprising if he does not?"
23266Has Rose been saying anything to you?
23266Has anything happened?
23266Has anything happened?
23266Has he not? 23266 Has my father come, Janet?"
23266Has not Fanny told you about it?
23266Has she not? 23266 Have I?
23266Have I? 23266 Have I?"
23266Have the bairns come?
23266Have you a doll?
23266Have you any particular reason for not wishing to go?
23266Have you ever been West, yet, Miss Elliott? 23266 Have you had Mrs Gridley?"
23266Have you had a settlement with them since you came?
23266Have you not accepted yet? 23266 Have you not heard?
23266Have you seen-- has Mr Ruthven returned?
23266Have you?
23266Have you?
23266He hasna ventured to hint such a thing?
23266How came Mrs Grove to make such an absurd mistake?
23266How do you suppose Fanny could ever do without you?
23266How does it seem to you?
23266How is she now, my dear?
23266How long is it since you have seen him?
23266How much do you enjoy it now?
23266How old are you, Graeme?
23266How old is Rosie?
23266How old is she?
23266How soon will Harry have to go?
23266How would you like it if she were to throw herself away on that red- headed giant?
23266However, it is not quite such a bugbear as it used to be; do n''t you remember, Graeme?
23266I do n''t know what you mean?
23266I hope it is not politeness, alone, which prevents you from saying it to me?
23266I mean, why did you not speak to him as you spoke to me?
23266I think it must be a very stupid place, from all that Etta says; still, if Rose wishes it, why should she not go?
23266I think, perhaps-- I do n''t think--Graeme hesitated, and then said hurriedly,--"Are you rich, Mr Greenleaf?"
23266I want to know?
23266I wonder if you have missed me as I have missed you?
23266I wonder where the bairns are?
23266Ill? 23266 Is Barkis willing at last?"
23266Is Miss Graeme sick? 23266 Is Mrs Tilman ill again?"
23266Is anything the matter with your sister, that you follow her with such troubled e''en?
23266Is anything the matter?
23266Is it Harry this time?
23266Is it me, Janet? 23266 Is it not?
23266Is it not?
23266Is it possible that it can be three years?
23266Is it pride or discontent, or is it something worse?
23266Is it right to make herself and me unhappy?
23266Is it that your brother is wearying of you?
23266Is it the real gowan,` that glints on bank and brae''? 23266 Is it very far to Canada?"
23266Is it you, Graeme? 23266 Is not my father well?
23266Is she not just like a picture sitting there?
23266Is she not lovely? 23266 Is she quite well?"
23266Is that all you can say for your real live Yankee, Charlie, man?
23266Is that the way you speak to your friend and partner?
23266Is the minister to sell rusty knives and glass beads to the Indians? 23266 Is there anything I may not know?"
23266Is this your little girl, Mr Snow?
23266Is your brother going to remain here?
23266Isna she a queer little creature?
23266It begins to look a little like it, do n''t it?
23266It is just three years to- night since we came to M. Did you remember it, Arthur?
23266It is not that you are growing too proud to eat bread of your brother''s winning, is it?
23266It is to take place soon, is it not?
23266It was n''t hardly worth while calling it a lake, was it?
23266It was to bring us news of Will, was n''t it? 23266 It would be rather a good joke if Rosie were to rule in the` Palatial Residence''after all, would n''t it?"
23266It would not do to separate, I suppose? 23266 It''s awfu''like Scotch dubs, now is n''t it?
23266It''s her black dress that makes her look so pale, ai n''t it?
23266It''s kind o''pleasant here, ai n''t it?
23266It''s kind o''pleasant here, ai n''t it?
23266Janet, what did your mother say? 23266 Janet, what did your mother say?"
23266Janet, when will Sandy come? 23266 Janet,"said Graeme again,"what do you think Mrs Greenleaf told me all Merleville is saying?"
23266Janet,said she, at last,"what brings Deacon Snow so often up here of late?"
23266Janet,said she, with difficulty,"there is not much the matter with my sister, is there?
23266Janet,said she,"do you think I could keep a school?"
23266Know what?
23266Maybe it was her that wanted the money? 23266 Menie, do you mind?"
23266Menie,said Arthur, suddenly,"what do you see in the fire?"
23266Miss Elliott,murmured he,"_ you_ will never take your friendship from me, whatever may happen?"
23266Miss Elliott,said Mr Proudfute, presently,"what has become of you for a long time?
23266Miss Elliott,whispered Charlie, eagerly,"who is the new partner, do you think?
23266Miss Graeme, is it best you should be out here in the cold?
23266Miss Graeme, my dear, do you ken what ails your sister? 23266 Miss Graeme, my dear,"said she, softly;"could you speak to me a minute?"
23266Miss Graeme, you canna mind your aunt Marian?
23266Mr Green? 23266 Mr Millar, can not you do or say something to soothe your friend and partner?"
23266Mrs Elliott appears well, do n''t she? 23266 Must you go, Harry?
23266My bairn,she said,"are you not among those whom nothing can harm?
23266My child, are you hearing me? 23266 My child,"said he, as he took her hand, and turned her face to the light,"are you quite well to- day?"
23266My darling, have you come?
23266My dear, how can I tell your sister''s thoughts? 23266 My dear,"said Mrs Snow, gravely,"what has put such a thought in your head?
23266My dear,said Mrs Snow, in a little,"how old are you now?"
23266My dear,said the minister, at last,"has Mrs Nasmyth been speaking to you?"
23266No town?
23266No, unless it was the right person, and all that, but may we not reasonably hope that the right person may come?
23266No; I did not know it,said Graeme; and in a little she added,"ought that to make any difference about my going?
23266No; did he say so? 23266 No?
23266Now, Graeme, do n''t you call that flippant? 23266 Now, Uncle Sampson, which is prettiest?
23266Now, what do you think of that?
23266Oh, Will, how could I ever let you go away?
23266Or damask, or velvet, or cloth of gold, or linsey- woolsey?
23266Or is that to come later?
23266Or tarltan or muslin?
23266Or, when some one has made it for you; that would do as well, would it not?
23266Our fate?
23266Rose, do you know why I came here?
23266Rose,said Fanny, as they sat together the next day after dinner,"what do you think mamma said to me this morning?
23266Rose,said Graeme, in a little,"where ever did you meet Mr Perry this afternoon?
23266Rose,said she, after they had been up- stairs for some time, and were about to separate for the night,"what was the matter with Harry this evening?"
23266Rose? 23266 Rosie''s sobered down some, do n''t you think?"
23266Rosie, does not ten years seem a long time, to look forward to? 23266 Shall I light your lamp, papa?"
23266Shall I read to you, papa? 23266 Shall I speak to him, Graeme?
23266Shall I take you home? 23266 She do n''t flirt any herself, does she?"
23266She is very like Lily Elphinstone, is she not?
23266She is very sweet and lovely-- very like Lily, is she not?
23266She seems kind of down, though, these days, do n''t she? 23266 So you are here at last, Harry?
23266So you had the minister to- night, again, eh, Rosie? 23266 Stirling,"said she, as she turned toward the house,"how did you know the young lady''s name is Rose?
23266Suppose you should go to work to spend your money now?
23266Sure that she is going home?
23266Surely you have seen that-- and you from Scotland? 23266 Tell us more,"said Rose;"do you go to see her often?"
23266That is not the least bit uncharitable, is it Graeme?
23266That is the farthest she''s been yet, and it begins to look a little like getting well, now, do n''t it?
23266The children, Will, and Rosie, do n''t worry her with their lessons, do they?
23266The getting of the yeast?
23266The true reason?
23266The very first?
23266Then, tell me, what possible good I shall be able to do in the world, when I shall no longer have you to care for?
23266Then, there is nothing more to be said?
23266Then, wherefore should you look so troubled? 23266 Then, why do you say he does not trust you?"
23266There is great deal more of it, is there not? 23266 There is no hurry about it, is there?
23266There, aunt,said Lilias, eagerly, when the greetings were over,"did I not tell you that my friend Miss Elliott would eclipse all here to- night?
23266They all do, do n''t they?
23266They are as good as new, but old- fashioned? 23266 They do n''t think papa so very ill?"
23266They seem to; but how can you be sure as to the enjoyment they really have? 23266 To Arthur?
23266To Hilda?
23266To her uncle?
23266To ride?
23266To yon fine country John Ferguson tells us about?
23266Was Mrs Grove here this morning?
23266Was he not good enough? 23266 Was he out of sorts?"
23266Was it for her money-- or why was it?
23266Was it not? 23266 Was it to me?
23266Was that young Roxbury I saw you driving with the other day?
23266Weel, Janet, is this you, and the bairns? 23266 Well how do you like the looks of things?"
23266Well!--no-- but ai n''t it a little sudden? 23266 Well, I guess we can make out a full day''s work in Canada, ca n''t we?
23266Well, Janet?
23266Well, ai n''t he? 23266 Well, and how did they come on with their discussions?"
23266Well, do n''t you remember saying that you did not think Sandy and Emily would ever fall in love?
23266Well, is that all you have to say on the subject?
23266Well, it was a little tedious, was it not? 23266 Well, now, if that is so, will you tell me why there ai n''t one man in ten thousand who believes it, or at least who acts as if he believed it?
23266Well, shall we go now?
23266Well, what did Graeme say? 23266 Well, what do you think of all that talk?"
23266Well, what next?
23266Well, why not? 23266 Well-- he ai n''t so rugged as he might be-- now is he?"
23266Were you sighing because so many of your years lie behind you, my bairn?
23266Were you speaking?
23266What ailed you?
23266What ails Rosie at your brother''s partner, young Mr Millar?
23266What ails mamma, Janet? 23266 What are you going to say to me, Graeme?"
23266What are you quarrelling about? 23266 What are you thinking about, Graeme?"
23266What bad things do you do?
23266What can be keeping him?
23266What can make Harry so desirous that you should go to Mrs Roxbury''s?
23266What could have made Janet frighten herself and me so?
23266What do the Roxburys care for any of us? 23266 What do you mean, Fanny?
23266What do you mean, Harry?
23266What do you suppose is the reason?
23266What do_ you_ say to that?
23266What does Rose say? 23266 What does the ballad say?
23266What for wasna you at the Lord''s table, on the Sabbath- day?
23266What has happened to you, Harry?
23266What has happened?
23266What has the world to do with it? 23266 What if Will should think like Mr Ruthven, that a life at home is to be desired?
23266What is it all about?
23266What is it my dear?
23266What is it then, dear child?
23266What is it, Fanny?
23266What is it, Graeme? 23266 What is it, Graeme?"
23266What is it, Graeme?
23266What is it, Harry? 23266 What is it, Janet?"
23266What is it, Rose? 23266 What is it, Rose?"
23266What is it, Will?
23266What is it, dear?
23266What is the happiest life here-- and Menie''s has been happy-- to the blessedness of the rest which I confidently believe awaits her, dear child?
23266What is the matter here, good people?
23266What is the secret you are going to tell me?
23266What is the use? 23266 What is what, my dear?"
23266What is your name, little one?
23266What love?
23266What put Harry out of sorts to- night?
23266What should ail her but the one thing?
23266What should have happened, Will? 23266 What was it that Janet said that made you sigh so drearily just now?"
23266What was it, Graeme?
23266What were you thinking about? 23266 What would you have, Rosie?"
23266What, Rosie? 23266 What, indeed?"
23266When is Will coming?
23266When is it to be?
23266When was it?
23266When was that? 23266 When will it be?"
23266When will they go?
23266Where are they? 23266 Where has your father gone?"
23266Where have you been, dear? 23266 Where is Mr Gilchrist?"
23266Where is your sister?
23266Where on earth did you put the yeast- jug, Rose? 23266 Where''s the town?"
23266Wherefore not?
23266Wherefore should I no''say it?
23266Who ever heard of a fire in a grate at this time of the year?
23266Who is Mr Green, that I hear tell so much about?
23266Who is is Mr Green, anyhow?
23266Who is that pretty creature with the child on her lap?
23266Who knows but Harry may be the victim among us? 23266 Who knows?
23266Who knows?
23266Who? 23266 Why am I laughing at it, Rosie?
23266Why could she not go with Fanny to the seaside, if she needs a change?
23266Why did you not stay and speak to her at the door, then?
23266Why not? 23266 Why should not Rosie go?"
23266Why should you doubt it?
23266Why, Rosie, what ails you? 23266 Why, child, how many April days do you think we are going to have in January?
23266Why? 23266 Will a single day make much difference to you?"
23266Will has gone to the post, I suppose?
23266Will you bide with grannie, wee Rosie?
23266Will you come? 23266 Will you go in and see papa, or in there?"
23266Will you stay with your sister, Nelly, do you think? 23266 Winna you tell me?"
23266With whom do you think, Graeme?
23266Wooden country, eh, my little man?
23266Would n''t all the people be amazed? 23266 Would not you like to see the old faces and the old places once more?"
23266Would you like it?
23266Would you like to stay, dear?
23266Yes, are they not? 23266 Yes,"said he,"have you not heard it?"
23266Yes-- but do they really think papa is so ill?
23266Yes; Mrs Grove thinks I am a rising man, like the squire here; and why undeceive her? 23266 Yes; but how could you have guessed?"
23266Yes; she said you were a good friend of hers; but is she your cousin?
23266Yes; was I expected sooner? 23266 You are afraid of the sea?
23266You are not afraid, my child?
23266You are not going away, Miss Elliott, are you?
23266You are not sorry you went, are you Graeme?
23266You do n''t mean that she has been like this before?
23266You do n''t mean to say you asked her to dance?
23266You do n''t mean to tell me that Menie is in danger?
23266You do n''t think there is anything in what Mrs Grove said about Graeme and her friend I have heard so much about?
23266You go in the first steamer, then?
23266You hear often from him, I suppose?
23266You look cold with that light dress on, Fanny, why do n''t you go and change it?
23266You told me that once before, do n''t you remember? 23266 You wo n''t beat him, will you Harry?
23266Your brother is away just now, is he not? 23266 Your folks are all gone, are they?"
23266A middle- aged look, is it?
23266A walk, or a quiet visit at home?"
23266Ai n''t that so, Mr Foster?"
23266Ai n''t you tired riding?"
23266Am I not to see Mrs Elliott, to- day?
23266An invitation?"
23266And Graeme asked herself, would it ever be so with her?
23266And I do n''t think you are at all polite,--do you, Fanny?
23266And Janet asked herself,"What would my mother do if Sandy were to die?
23266And Mis''Snow, and me-- we''ll take care of the children--""And what about this, deacon?"
23266And are you quite sure that you are pleased now, dear?"
23266And do you call the housekeeping nothing?
23266And does your grandma punish you ever?
23266And had Rose ever cared for him"in that way?"
23266And if you should fall, and be trodden down, how should I ever answer to her?"
23266And if, as she had sometimes feared, Harry were to go astray, could she be altogether free from blame?
23266And my father winna have long to wait, and you''ll have Rosie and Will-- and, Graeme, you will tell papa?"
23266And the sooner the better, I suppose?"
23266And there is nothing else, is there?--nothing that you are afraid to look at-- nothing that you can not bring to the one place for light and help?"
23266And to see Merleville?"
23266And was the worst over?
23266And what did Mr Snow say?"
23266And what did my father say?"
23266And what did she answer?
23266And what did she say to you?"
23266And what do you mean by having a life of your own, and being independent?
23266And what happened after supper?"
23266And what has Mr Millar to do with it?"
23266And what heart has twenty years cheat''ry of his fellow men left to yon man, that my bairn should waste a thought on a worldling like him?"
23266And what was awaiting them after all these tranquil days?
23266And what will you be when you are far from us all?
23266And what would Sandy do if my mother were to die?
23266And what would both do if sickness were to overtake them, and me far- away?"
23266And when is she coming?"
23266And why did you bring him to Mr Greenleaf''s with you?"
23266And why should she not?
23266And yet she had grown content?
23266And yet, why should she be uncomfortable?
23266And you are going home to Scotland?"
23266And you wouldna bring back the pain, dear?"
23266And"will it ever be done?"
23266And, besides,"what was the use of Emily Arnold?"
23266And, she may come back and end her days on this side of the sea, yet, who knows?"
23266Another hour in the close cabin, and Graeme felt she must yield too-- and then what would become of Rose?
23266Are there any letters to- night?"
23266Are they all here?
23266Are you coming down, Graeme?"
23266Are you coming, Charlie?
23266Are you coming, Will?
23266Are you going to stay very long, Harry?"
23266Are you going, Harry?
23266Are you hearing me, my child?"
23266Are you mad?
23266Are you quite sincere in saying that, or are you only making believe?"
23266Are you sure there is room for all, Harry?"
23266Are you tired?"
23266Are you to bide in your uncle''s house?"
23266Arthur, do n''t you remember a conversation that you and I had together, soon after Sandy was here?"
23266Be you?"
23266Before the time we went to Mrs Roxbury''s, on the evening of the Convocation?"
23266But Charlie did not answer, or Graeme did not hear, and in a little while she said again,--"Is Mr Ruthven still in town?"
23266But I think you would enjoy this much, better than a regular party?
23266But I''ll write a note to Mrs Gridley, shall I, Rosie?"
23266But Rosie flared right up, did n''t she?"
23266But about the minister?
23266But does that end the pain?
23266But her mother?
23266But how is this?
23266But how should you remember it?
23266But is it not almost dinner time?
23266But is she not a wretch?"
23266But it was very shabby of you, Harry, to go and leave me alone; was it not, Arthur?"
23266But see here, Squire, do n''t you think the new minister''ll about fit?"
23266But tell me why you have any fears?"
23266But they will never forget me, will they, Graeme?"
23266But this is not at all an extravagance, is it, Arthur?"
23266But was it all right with Charlie?
23266But what can the like o''me do?
23266But what have you being doing to Fanny, Graeme?"
23266But who told you?"
23266But why should I wish to go back?
23266But winna you bide still?
23266But wo n''t it keep?
23266But you better stay, had n''t he, girls?
23266But you will be in no hurry about going, will you?
23266But, Arthur, was it not very nice of Graeme to say nothing, but make the best of it?
23266But, dear me, where''s Mr Allan?"
23266But, then, who was?
23266But, what of that?"
23266Ca n''t nothing be done for him?
23266Can you imagine anything more tranquil?
23266Canna you read your Bible?
23266Charlie has come, has he?
23266Classes?
23266Could any duty she owed to her master and his children make it right for her to forsake those whose blood flowed in her veins?
23266Could it ever seem like home to them?
23266Could she forsake them?
23266Could she give this up?
23266Could she go away from her home, her friends, the land of her birth, and be content to see no respite from her labour till the end?
23266Could they ever gaze enough?
23266Could they ever weary themselves of the sight?
23266Could you no''bide with us a little while?"
23266Did Harry tell you?"
23266Did I ever tell you all she said to me?
23266Did I ever tell you my half- brother''s name?
23266Did he see it?
23266Did not mamma keep watchful eyes on Fanny always?
23266Did she say it?
23266Did this take her by surprise?
23266Did you enjoy the Roxbury party much?"
23266Did you ever think such a thing might happen, Graeme?"
23266Did you not see?"
23266Did you want me?"
23266Did you?"
23266Do n''t you like her?"
23266Do n''t you mind?"
23266Do n''t you remember?"
23266Do n''t you think so Mrs Nasmyth?"
23266Do n''t you think you have given us enough of that miserable, hopeless face for one occasion?
23266Do the girls know it?
23266Do you believe that Allan Ruthven is otherwise than an honourable and upright gentleman in business and-- in other matters?
23266Do you fancy that it is I to whom Dr Goldsmith is engaged?
23266Do you know anything about him, Harry?
23266Do you know her?"
23266Do you like that way of riding, my wee Rosie?"
23266Do you mind Allan Ruthven, Menie?"
23266Do you mind her first visit with Mrs Merle, Janet?"
23266Do you mind that restless fit that was on me long ago, when you came to see us, and how it seemed to me that I must go away?
23266Do you mind the charge she gave us, to keep our garments unspotted till we meet our father and mother again?
23266Do you mind what a cankered wee fairy she used to be?"
23266Do you mind, love, what Janet said to us, the night before we came away?
23266Do you no''think it will cost him something to part from his first- born son?"
23266Do you really care for him, Rosie?"
23266Do you see?"
23266Do you suppose he means to stay over Sunday, Rosie?"
23266Do you suppose the lady who was saying so much in praise of your fine place just now, has any idea that it is only a weariness to you?"
23266Do you suppose those lofty portals would give admission to one who is only a humble clerk?
23266Do you think I can have any wish but to see you useful and happy?
23266Do you trust me, Graeme?
23266Do you want them home?"
23266Do you?
23266Does it make her strong to say it?
23266Does not she preserve her equanimity?
23266Does she wear curls?
23266Does she whip you?"
23266Eh, Fanny?"
23266Eh, Graeme?"
23266Eh, Graeme?"
23266Eh, Graeme?"
23266Eh?"
23266Every one must build his own castle, as I heard her saying-- or was it Emily?
23266Fanny, sha n''t I take the baby while you do that?"
23266For, indeed, what could she say?
23266Graeme darted a quick, embarrassed look at him, as much as to say,"Have you asked her?"
23266Graeme, are you going out?"
23266Graeme, do n''t you mind how he used to walk up and down the deck, with Rosie in his arms?"
23266Graeme, what is the use of her going if she does not want to?"
23266Graeme, will you come and have a walk this bonny day?"
23266Graeme, wo n''t you give us this little girl?"
23266Had her influence always been decidedly on the side where her father''s and her mother''s would have been?
23266Had pretty, gentle Amy Roxbury helped Charlie"to get over it;"as Harry''s manner of speaking seemed to imply?
23266Had she been to her brothers all that father had believed she would be?
23266Had she made a mistake or had he?
23266Hae I done anything?
23266Harry says,` What is this that Mr Green has been telling me about Arthur and little Miss Grove?
23266Harry, dear, what is it?
23266Harry, is it-- it is not Lilias?"
23266Harry, what is the trouble between you and Rose?"
23266Harry, you daft laddie, where are you going?
23266Has Mrs Snow come down?"
23266Has he not quite recovered?"
23266Has he not the Spirit of God abiding in him?
23266Has she gone to bed?"
23266Have one?"
23266Have you any commands for me to execute?"
23266Have you any objections?"
23266Have you any plan?"
23266Have you anything particular to do to- day?"
23266Have you ever been out West?"
23266Have you forgotten your New Year''s visit, and a visit or two besides, to say nothing of chance meetings in the street and in the market?"
23266Have you got a letter yet?"
23266Have you never thought about working in that way, dear?"
23266Have you one, Rosie?"
23266Have you seen the new picture they are all talking about?
23266Have you spoken to your brother about it?
23266Have you taken your bottle to- day?"
23266Have you your habit here, my dear?
23266Have you, Harry?"
23266He has not lost much time, has he?"
23266He has the name of being rather hard in the way of business, I believe?"
23266He is in a dreadful temper, is he not?"
23266He went to the foot of the stairs, and called:"Rose, are you coming down again?
23266Heard anybody ever the like?
23266How can we ever hope to win Harry from the society of those who do him harm, when we are living only to please ourselves?"
23266How can you be so foolish?"
23266How can you say such things, Rosie?"
23266How can you speak of anything so horrible?
23266How could she find courage to tell her that she must leave her alone in her old age?
23266How could you?"
23266How could_ I_ ever fill her place?"
23266How do you suppose we can ever persuade her to go back to Merleville with us?"
23266How does she look?
23266How many of your friends, do you suppose, suspect that you do n''t get all the satisfaction out of yours that you seem to?
23266How shall I give you courage-- faith to trust me?
23266How should she be able to live a life changed and empty of all pleasure?
23266How should she ever be able to see them again in the old unrestrained way?
23266How should you know it was that day, of which I was thinking?"
23266How would it be when Fanny''s marriage should give her stepmother a sort of right to advise and direct in their household?
23266How would you like that, girls?"
23266How would you like to visit Europe, Graeme?"
23266I am afraid it is not to be thought of?"
23266I am not setting my face against anything; but why should you blame me for what I canna help?
23266I ca n''t tell you any reason, except that I have set my heart on your being there, and you''ll come to please me, will you not?"
23266I havena these sixteen years-- her whole life, have I, Janet?
23266I mean not more afraid?"
23266I mean, is there more need than there has been?
23266I say, Menie, did anybody ever tell you how bonny you are growing?"
23266I see-- I am afraid the good foolish man wants you to care for him, and if you don''t--""Well, dear-- if I do n''t?"
23266I suppose Mrs Grove has been favouring the household with some advice, has she?"
23266I suppose it is that with me; or, do I look as if I were settling down content with things as they are?"
23266I suppose it is time for his bath, is it mamma?"
23266I think you said he hasna changed?"
23266I thought you were going to stay at the West, Rose?"
23266I was saying to myself,` Has the poor child got to go through all that for herself, as I have done?''
23266I wonder if he is any friend of Dr Proudfute, of Knockie?"
23266I wonder what birds they were that sang there?
23266I wonder what is the use of your going to parties?"
23266I wonder when I shall have my holiday?
23266I wonder where a''the strippet pillow slips can be?
23266If a man ai n''t going to enjoy his property, what is he to enjoy?"
23266If he was content, why should not she be so?
23266If it ai n''t your property that makes you happy, what is it?"
23266If money ai n''t worth having, why has n''t somebody found it out, and set the world right about it before now?"
23266If she had dreaded changes in their manner of life before, how much more were they to be dreaded now?
23266If the possibility you have been contemplating should become a reality, ought it to be deplored?"
23266If this was indeed the thing that had happened to Rose?
23266If we only could have Mrs Snow here, Graeme?"
23266In the spring?
23266Is he no''a sleeping man awakened, a dead man made alive-- born again to a new life?
23266Is it anyone we know about?
23266Is it anything about the big doctor, Rosie?"
23266Is it not nice to be out?
23266Is it not of Mr Millar that we have been speaking all this time?
23266Is it safe for the bairn, think you?
23266Is it you, Charlie?
23266Is she a friend of your brother Harry?
23266Is she fair or dark?
23266Is she very ill?"
23266Is that all you can say for the belle?
23266Is that something new?
23266Is that the matter under discussion?"
23266Is that true?"
23266Is there any need for it?
23266Is there no danger do you think, love?"
23266Is there no one else?"
23266Is young Roxbury to take his place in the firm, or are all three to be together?"
23266It is not that you are getting weary of the` woman''s work, that is never done,''is it, dear?"
23266It is very awkward looking up to carriage people, do n''t you think?
23266It must tend to enlarge one''s ideas, and satisfy one; do n''t you think so, Miss Elliott?"
23266It seems to me, he is getting pretty fond of visiting, ai n''t he?"
23266It was--""Was it lace, or gauze, or crape?"
23266It will be delightful by moonlight, wo n''t it, Rosie?"
23266It would be great fun to see the dear friends turn out rivals, would it not?"
23266It''s no''the thought of going awa'', surely?
23266Janet, do you mind the song foolish Jean used to sing?
23266May n''t she come?"
23266May not the slight implied in being overlooked rankle in her heart till it is changed and hardened?
23266Miss Elliott, do n''t you think you could spare Rose to me for a few days?"
23266Miss Graeme has gotten a letter telling her that her brother Harry is going to be married; and what is there so wonderful about that?"
23266Mr Elliott, when was a mother at fault when the happiness of her too sensitive child was concerned?"
23266Mr Millar, is Mrs Roxbury your aunt, or only your brother''s?"
23266Mr Snow,"she said, climbing upon the front seat which Norman shared with the driver,"wo n''t you let your little girl come and see my doll?"
23266Mrs Arthur doesna seem to make it clear?"
23266Mrs Snow,"said she, presenting herself at the window,"did you hear what Hannah has been saying?
23266Must Harry stay or go?"
23266Must you go?
23266My bonnie wee Rosie, what shall I ever do without you?"
23266My boy!--how can I ever wait for his coming?"
23266My dear, are you sure you are quite able for it?"
23266No?
23266Now, did n''t you?"
23266Now, do n''t it?"
23266Now, which is the prettiest?"
23266Of Allan and the past, or of Rose and Amy and the future?
23266Or did Charlie still care for Rose?
23266Or had she only thought of it?
23266Or is it only new to us?"
23266Or is she Mr Millar''s friend?
23266Or rather, I should say, what can be got without it?
23266Or shall I stay?"
23266Or was it something else that was bringing a cloud and a shadow over the life of her young sister?
23266Or was it something which time and change might not so easily or so surely dispel?
23266Ought n''t he, Graeme?"
23266Rose bent over a pale little blossom near the path--"What is this?"
23266Rose followed them, and when her brother''s hand was on the door, whispered,--"Please, Arthur, may I say something to the doctor?
23266Shall I get a light?"
23266Shall I send you home a fashion book, Rosie?"
23266Shall I tell you?"
23266Shall you not begin to think yourself middle- aged ten years hence?"
23266She had seen many trials, as who that has lived for sixty years, has not?
23266She shrank heartsick from the contemplation of the future, repeating rather in sorrow and wonder, than in anger,"How could he be so blind, so mad?"
23266She started a little when her sister said,--"Graeme, do you think it would be extravagant in me to wish for a new velvet jacket?"
23266She will never marry that man, will she?"
23266Should I go to the country; or should I put myself under the doctor''s care?
23266Should we wait?"
23266So when he proposed that Will should show him Canada, Rose looked gravely up and asked,--"Where will you go first, Will?
23266Suppose she had begun by walking all night with each of them, and by humouring every whim?"
23266Surely I''ll get help some time?"
23266Surely she takes heed to the bairns?"
23266Surely you are not thinking of changing servants, Graeme?"
23266Tell me what you are going to do to- day?"
23266Tell me what you would have me do?"
23266That is it, is it?"
23266That may be among the work required of you in the backwoods of Canada, who knows?"
23266The minister?
23266The others saw it, and were silent, but Fanny who was not quick at seeing things, said,--"But what could we do without you both?
23266The people will like that, wo n''t they?"
23266The wee white Lily may be a blooming rose, yet-- who knows?"
23266There can be no reason that I may not know?"
23266These were moments when he could not meet Graeme''s truthful eyes, as with"Do n''t you remember?"
23266They are Fanny''s nice people, are they?
23266They are nicer than usual, are they not?"
23266They had been very happy together, but were her brothers really better and stronger Christian men, because of her?
23266To the Red river or Hudson''s Bay or to Nova Scotia?
23266Uncle Sampson come with me, wo n''t you?
23266Was Rose foolish, and flippant, and fond of admiration, as Harry declared; and was she growing dissatisfied with their quiet, uneventful life?
23266Was it for that he hesitated?"
23266Was it misunderstanding, or wounded pride, or disappointment?
23266Was it silk or satin?"
23266Was it their own free choice that put them where they are?
23266Was it"wrong- doing"in a woman to let her heart slip unawares and unasked from her own keeping?
23266Was that in the interest of your friend?"
23266Was there ever anything so delightful, so exhilarating?
23266We have no mother, Janet, and what could we do without you?
23266We shall have a day of it, shall we not?"
23266Wee Rosie, are you no''going to stay the day with Miss Graeme and me?"
23266Well, mother, you feel pretty smart to- night, do n''t you?
23266Were there any other appropriate remarks?"
23266What about a wrapper?"
23266What ails Rosie?"
23266What ails the lassie?
23266What ails yon cankered fairy now?"
23266What ails you, Graeme?"
23266What are you meditating, now, Rosie, if I may ask?"
23266What are you thinking of, Arthur?"
23266What are you thinking of, Rose?
23266What awaited them there?
23266What ca n''t it get?
23266What can Will and the children be doing?
23266What can you mean, Graeme?
23266What colour are her eyes?"
23266What could ail him at Mr Ross''s offer?
23266What could he say?
23266What could possibly have happened which has been concealed from you?
23266What could the like o''him do in a country he kens nothing about, and with so many bairns?"
23266What did you talk about?"
23266What difference could it make?
23266What do you know about jackets, Harry?
23266What do you say, Graeme?"
23266What do you say, Rose?"
23266What do you think about it, Graeme?"
23266What do you think of Harry''s news?
23266What do you think of that for consideration?"
23266What do you think of your Massachusetts men, getting their cotton round this way?
23266What do you think?"
23266What does he say?"
23266What does it all amount to, as far as I am concerned, I mean?
23266What else could be said?
23266What for did you do the like o''that?
23266What freak is this she has taken about the country, and a change of air, and nonsense?"
23266What good would that do, when she carries her care with her?
23266What hae you been doing, or what has somebody been doing to you?"
23266What has happened to make you so faint- hearted, dear?"
23266What has she to do with it?"
23266What has the time to do with it?
23266What have you seen?"
23266What is it, then?
23266What is it?
23266What is the most delightful, and almost the most unlikely thing that could happen to us?"
23266What is the reason now?
23266What is there between you and Harry that I do n''t know about?
23266What kens the minister about the like o''that?
23266What kept you, Harry?"
23266What makes you speak in that way, Janet?"
23266What need you aye to cast them up?
23266What right had she to interfere, even in thought, with her brother''s friendship?
23266What said your brother to your refusal?"
23266What shall I say to you, my poor Harry?"
23266What should I have done, if it had not been for you and Harry?
23266What should have happened?
23266What was it you were telling me this afternoon about-- about our friend here?"
23266What was it, Graeme?
23266What was she, to think to come between them with her love?
23266What was to be said?
23266What would Arthur say, and Fanny?
23266What would Emily say, if she didna come?"
23266What would I have?
23266What would binder you?
23266What would folk say to see you and me striving at this late day?
23266What would you advise?
23266What would you like me to do?
23266What would you say to that Graeme?"
23266What would you wish changed of all that has come and gone, since that first time when we looked on the bonny hills and valleys of Merleville?"
23266What would your friend, Mr Perry, think if he heard you?
23266What''s this I hear about a friend o''his that''s done weel there?"
23266Whatna like way is that to bring up a family?"
23266When does he come?"
23266When she gave them into Rose''s hand she asked,--"Is your sister very ill?
23266Where could she turn now?
23266Where could we go?"
23266Where have you been all this time?"
23266Where is Graeme?"
23266Where will you find such a general diffusion of knowledge among all classes?
23266Where''s Carlo?
23266Where''s Carlo?"
23266Who can compare with her?"
23266Who can doubt it?
23266Who do you think is coming?
23266Who else could I trust, now that I am going to die?
23266Who is Mrs Tilman?"
23266Who is coming in?"
23266Who is here?
23266Who is that lady in blue?
23266Who would have thought then that she would ever have grown to be the bonny creature she is to- day?"
23266Who would not?
23266Why did you not write to me as you promised?"
23266Why do n''t you ask Rose?"
23266Why do n''t you find your way over to Fanny and Graeme?"
23266Why do n''t you stay at home, and enjoy yourself?"
23266Why do you look at me in that strange way?"
23266Why had this new misery come upon her?
23266Why has this feverish wish to be away and at work come upon her so suddenly, if it is a question that I ought to ask?"
23266Why is all the world chasing after wealth, as if it were the one thing for body and soul?
23266Why not?"
23266Why should Arthur and Harry do everything for us?"
23266Why should I be angry?"
23266Why should I?
23266Why should he return?
23266Why should he wait for this longer than he need?"
23266Why should she not marry?"
23266Why should she?
23266Why should such a woman be pitied or despised, I wonder?"
23266Why should there be a change now?"
23266Why should you be surprised at that?"
23266Why should you doubt it?
23266Why should you no''bring young Major or Dandy over, saddled for Miss Rose?
23266Why should you think there is anything the matter with her, Janet?"
23266Why undeceive her, I ask?"
23266Why was not I told?"
23266Why was she not sent about her business?
23266Why, in all the world, should I make believe not well` to get rid of it,''as you so elegantly express it?
23266Will he return?
23266Will you go with me, Harry, to fetch her here?"
23266Will you go with us?
23266Will you like to come?"
23266Wo n''t it keep till morning?
23266Wo n''t they help one another to have a good time?
23266Wo n''t you just say so to me?"
23266Would it be respectful to the new firm, if he were to refuse to go?"
23266Would not the passing away of this vain dream leave her as rich in the love of brothers and sister, as ever?
23266Would sermons made for the British, be such as to suit free- born American citizens?
23266Would she ever be so again?
23266Would she ever cease to regret the irrevocable past and learn to grow happy in a new way?
23266Would the companionship of yon bairn suffice for his happiness?"
23266Would they approve, if you were sent West?"
23266Would they take pains to know me?
23266You do n''t think she was really vexed with me, do you?
23266You ken I wouldna willingly do wrong?"
23266You know it, Graeme?"
23266You surely dinna doubt me, dear?"
23266You went with us to Beloeil, did you not?"
23266You were at Mrs Roxbury''s great affair, were you not?
23266You will let me go with you, Graeme?"
23266You will never_ think_ of going away because of this, Rose and you?"
23266You would not have me look joyful, when I am going to lose my brother?"
23266You''ll surely let us hear from you soon?"
23266Your mother did not die of consumption?"
23266` Wee, modest, crimson- tipped flower''--you mind?
23266and do you really think you''re bonny?"
23266and` when will it be?''
23266could it ever seem like home to them?
23266did not Graeme tell you?"
23266hae you no sense?"
23266hitherto so careless and light- hearted, how was he to bear the sorrow that had fallen upon him?
23266is she a friend of yours?
23266it is not too good to be true, is it?"
23266it''s awful, the first sight of a dear face in the coffin--""Need she see her again?"
23266my dear, if the doctor thought him ill would he send him from home?
23266or had she been expecting it all the time?
23266or is she asleep?"
23266or will you come back to town and take another place?
23266said Graeme,"Is she still alone?"
23266said Graeme; and in a little she added,"Is it not sudden?"
23266said Rose:"Another wedding?"
23266said the prudent Mrs Nasmyth,"you havena surely run yourself in debt?"
23266she pleaded;"you will never go and leave me here?"
23266the children of the Puritans?
23266wasna she a cankered fairy?"
23266what could we ever do without you?"
23266what has happened to my merry little sister?"
23266what shall we ever do if it happens?"
23266what will I ever do without him?"
