60653And all that time little Hi- nin.... Regina, did n''t you even pat him or hold him or kiss it for him or anything?
60653And nothing else?
60653Because I put one on once and I thought I looked absolutely devastating and you know what my husband said?
60653Bite?
60653But seriously,she said finally,"if he did n''t know, why did n''t you tell him?"

60653Then why do n''t you?
60653Well, do you think her husband uses that tone of voice when he says,''There is_ everything_ respectable about Verne Barrat?''

60653Did you know about Hi- nin?"
60653Hand?
60653Have you ever seen a Hiserean child?"
60653How can I doubt that they are right?"
60653How could I doubt it, either?
60653I always get my skirts longer in cold weather because children are so careless about carrying--""Then we''ll consider the car pool settled?"
60653I do n''t ask you things like this all the time, now do I?"
60653If even I think I''m respectable, what can I expect other people to think?
60653If there''s anything I could do for you in return--""What could you possibly do?"
60653Like the adrenals in humans, perhaps?
60653Merely smile?

60653Nod?

60653Why did you bring him back to_ me_?"

3635Ca n''t we take her somewhere, and get a doctor? 3635 Ca n''t you sleep?"
3635Did?
3635Do I know Dayton?
3635Do n''t say anything to Mother about it, will you? 3635 Do n''t you want him to come-- is he old and fussy?"

3635Glad?

3635How''s Mother, Becky?
3635I know,Margaret began, half angrily;"but what about the children?"
3635I suppose somebody knows something about this Mrs. Carr- Boldt, Mother?
3635I''ve been wondering if you''re disappointed about your friend not coming to- morrow, Mark?
3635I? 3635 Is Mrs. Carr- Bolt your mother''s or your father''s sister?"
3635Is it going to be a good show, Ted?
3635Is n''t it?
3635Is n''t there a tea- room-- isn''t there an inn here where we could have a bite?
3635Is there a concert?
3635It''s the first break, is n''t it, Dad? 3635 Just quiet them down, will you, Mother?
3635Look at this morning-- did you sit down before you came in here twenty minutes ago?
3635Mother, may n''t I get down the finger- bowls,she asked;"and may n''t we have black coffee in the silver pot, afterwards?"
3635Mother, will you pray I succeed?
3635Mother-- really?
3635Mother-- why are you up so late?
3635Ned Gunther?
3635Oh--? 3635 Pay me?"
3635Rebecca tell you Dad did n''t get his raise?
3635Ring, will you, Peggy?
3635Seven of you, eh? 3635 She''s all right, I suppose?"
3635Something nice has happened, Mother?
3635Ted,said Margaret, kissing him, as the Pagets always quite simply kissed each other when they met,"what are you driving Costello''s cart for?"
3635The Blankenships have one, and have n''t the de Normandys?
3635The train was five o''clock, was it?
3635There was a perfectly good reason for her hurry, I suppose? 3635 Well, what does this very businesslike aspect imply?"
3635What does Costello pay you?
3635What is it?
3635What makes you want to drive this horrid cart, Ted?
3635What were you doing, Dorothy,she went on pleasantly,"to get under that big car?"
3635What''s my girl worrying about?
3635Where''s Bruce? 3635 Who are the Carr Boldts, except for their money?
3635Who is he, sis?
3635Who''s that on the porch?
3635Who--?
3635Why are n''t you going to the concert?
3635Why do I like it?
3635Why not?
3635Why not?
3635Why, did n''t you hear us talking at dinner? 3635 Yes, darling, you want Mama, do n''t you?"
3635Yes? 3635 You are n''t going home to lunch in all this, Margaret?"
3635You do, do n''t you, Margaret?
3635You know I love you, do n''t you Margaret?
3635You know that, do n''t you? 3635 You love me, do n''t you?
3635You''ll stay, Mother?
3635You''re Mrs. Paget, of course,--this is an awful hour to interrupt you,she said in her big, easy way,"and there''s my Miss Paget,--how do you do?
3635You''re all alone in the world, Miss Page?
3635You''re exhausted, are n''t you, Margaret?
3635Your people are n''t still in the South, you said?
3635And I was the scornfullest thing you ever saw, was n''t I, Ted?
3635And how could she keep him from coming, what excuse could she give?
3635And what have I to do?"
3635And who''s to blame?
3635And why do you like teaching?"
3635And you''ve six brothers and sisters?
3635And your mother lives there?
3635And, Fraulein, telephone the yacht club, will you?
3635Are they all as handsome as you and this Teddy of yours?
3635But then why do n''t you come down to New York, and do something else?"
3635But you see I must get up to town to- night-- in this door?
3635CHAPTER V"So you''re going home to your own people for the week end, Peggy?--And how many of you are there,--I always forget?"
3635Ca n''t that boy remember what time we have dinner?"
3635Ca n''t we get out of this?"
3635Can you blame a woman whose life is packed full of other things she simply can not avoid, if she declines to complicate things any further?
3635Carr- Boldt?"
3635Did Mark suppose Mother''d think she was crazy if she asked the family not to be in evidence when the crowd came to the house for the salad course?
3635Do n''t you make Mother stop me, either, will you?"
3635Do n''t you, Margaret?"
3635Do n''t you?"
3635Do you know Dayton?"
3635Do you remember her canary, that Teddy hit with a plate?...
3635Do you suppose my grandmother ever took a baby''s temperature, or had its eyes and nose examined, or its adenoids cut?
3635Get in on the four- ten?"
3635I wonder why Kelly does n''t bring us more wood?"
3635Is Mother here?
3635Is she fond of flowers?"
3635JTABLE 4 7 1 MOTHER CHAPTER I"Well, we could n''t have much worse weather than this for the last week of school, could we?"
3635Leave him in, Mark, ca n''t we?"
3635Margaret went upstairs, hearing her mother''s apologetic,"Oh, Dad, why did n''t I give you back your club?"
3635Mark, dear, will you help the pudding?"
3635Mark, do you suppose Mother''d let me take this bed out, and just have a big couch in here?
3635Mark, does that show?"
3635Mark, would you like a cup of tea?"
3635Mother would never feel as she did about these things, and what was the use of arguing?
3635Mrs. Porter, may my class go into your room a little while?"
3635Not near Dayton?"
3635Oh, Mother, does he feel so badly about Betty?"
3635Old secretary deserted-- got married--?
3635Poor old Mark, you''re all in, are n''t you?
3635Rebecca was cheerful now, the promise exacted, and cheerfully observed:--"Dad did n''t get his raise-- isn''t that the limit?"
3635She had good reason for wanting Mark in all this hurry?"
3635She had met brilliant women, rich women, courted women-- but where among them was one whose face had ever shone as her mother''s shone to- day?
3635There would be no worse, she said to herself with sudden conviction,--how could there be?
3635This morning, thinking what her life is, I could n''t see what repaid her, do you see?
3635We''ve had this room a long time together, have n''t we?
3635Well, did they lock him out?"
3635What are you doing here?"
3635What are you going to call him, Julia?''
3635What could they do-- who could take up the work she laid down,--who would watch and plan and work for them all, now?
3635What had n''t they done, these dearest people, to be always struggling, always tired, always"behind the game"?
3635What hardship could be hard that knitted their two hearts closer together; what road too steep if they essayed it hand in hand?
3635What have you been doing?"
3635What sort of a day?"
3635What-- how-- who on earth had told them anything of John Tenison?
3635When Maudie left them at the next corner, she said quickly:--"Mark, did you see where we were when I saw you?"
3635When is she coming down here?"
3635Who to?"
3635Why ca n''t we have a game of auction right here and now?"
3635Why not?"
3635Why should they be eternally harassed by plumbers''bills, and dentists''bills, and shoes that would wear out, and school- books that must be bought?
3635Will you finish those bills upstairs, if you please?"
3635Will you tell Swann Miss Paget will see him about to- morrow''s dinner when she comes back from the yacht club to- day?
3635You know Maudie, do n''t you, Mark?"
3635You won''t-- will you, Mark?"
3635she protested,"ca n''t that wait?"
3635sobbed Margaret, clinging there,"do you want me to go-- shall I go?
40659After all,I said, with a gulp and a smile,"the other poor seamen''s wives have to take their chance of this sort of thing, so why not I?"
40659And I suppose you persuaded him?
40659And is n''t Juke company?
40659And now you wo n''t leave us any more, Mater dear-- now you see how badly we manage things without you to help us? 40659 And now, what shall we do?"
40659And so,he said, on one of these occasions, speaking in an absent- minded way--"and so you are not nervous with me?
40659And the doctor?
40659And what were you vexed about?
40659And where is Bobby?
40659And why ca n''t you both stay?
40659And you really and truly do wish to marry me, Mary?
40659And, dear,I urged,"if I am too old-- and they accepted that as a valid excuse-- what are you?"
40659Are_ you_ one of those who think that farming comes by instinct and does n''t have to be learned like other trades?
40659As for income, Polly, you do n''t suppose I am going to live on you?
40659Better?
40659Bringing it_ up?--here?_"Certainly. 40659 But I think I should like to go out somewhere, should n''t you?
40659But what-- how-- why-- where?
40659But why that man? 40659 But wo n''t he catch his death of cold?"
40659Did you ever know of a mother being treated so before?
40659Do what?
40659Do you mean to say you have not the power to influence him? 40659 Got an appetite for breakfast, Polly?"
40659Had n''t you better make a nursery of my cabin on deck? 40659 Her?"
40659Honour bright?
40659How can I leave you like this? 40659 How can he, on a night like this?
40659How can you tell how calm she was?
40659How did you know?
40659How is the baby?
40659How will that do?
40659How? 40659 Hullo, Polly, what''s up?"
40659I am not to suppose, am I, that Phyllis_ wished_ to deceive her own mother-- and on such a point?
40659I hope you do n''t insult your children, not to speak of me, by implying that they are not good enough for Gales to associate with?
40659I suppose you are not aware,I said, very quietly,"that I am your patient''s mother?
40659If he did not, would he do it?
40659Indeed?
40659Is it true,he said,"that you have given Miss Blount notice?"
40659Is n''t the bridge big enough for us both?
40659It is n''t the first time I''ve made you a bed on deck-- eh, old girl?
40659Lily,I cried, as she was flinging out of the room in her impetuous fashion,"what are strangers at such a time as this?"
40659Mary,he said,"who''s that fellow hanging round outside?
40659No warning?
40659Oh, Mr. Jones,I cried,"is the captain on board?"
40659Oh, Polly,he said, turning to me with a slightly worried air,"you would n''t mind staying on deck till we get down the river a bit, would you, pet?
40659Oh, are you?
40659Oh, has he come?
40659Oh, sha''n''t I? 40659 Oh, tell me, tell me,"she cried, with a lackadaisical whine, as if we were playing melodrama at a cheap theatre,"_ What_ does the doctor say?
40659Oh,I sobbed, when I could find words and strength to utter them,"how_ could_ you leave me behind?
40659Only Juke?
40659Phyllis, I wish father was here, do n''t you?
40659Since when,I asked,"has it been your habit to call her Emily?"
40659Suppose we both stand together? 40659 Talking with him so much about her, when it was so necessary to keep him calm?
40659Then may I ask you, Edmund, kindly to have my portmanteau sent to the stables? 40659 Then why are you here?"
40659Then you wo n''t stand godfather to that child-- without me?
40659To whom?
40659To- day, mother?
40659Tom, Tom,_ what_ does it mean?
40659Tom,I demanded, as I paused before him-- I will not deny that I was boiling over"Tom, are you going to be godfather to the Jukes''baby?"
40659Tommy,_ are_ you awake?
40659Was it Sunday? 40659 Was it likely they would stand sponsors to the baby over my head?
40659We''ll chance it, shall we?
40659Well, Polly,said he;"did you wonder what was keeping me so late?
40659Well, and what''s the matter now?
40659Well, you see, my dear, it hardly rests with us, does it?
40659Wha''s th''time?
40659What a lovely day we''ve got, eh, Polly? 40659 What child?"
40659What did I say? 40659 What does he want?"
40659What has happened? 40659 What is it?"
40659What is it?
40659What shall we do next?
40659What the deuce does it matter?
40659What''s she doing?
40659What''s the matter?
40659What-- what-- you do n''t say-- not really?
40659Whatever for?
40659When did you ever know me to break a promise?
40659Where is Dr. Juke? 40659 Where is Harry?"
40659Where''s Bob?
40659Who''s crowing? 40659 Who?
40659Why are you not frightened? 40659 Why did n''t you say so at first-- at the beginning of the day?
40659Why do you go away?
40659Why, have n''t you been at me every day for the last dozen years to do it? 40659 Why, where is Phyllis?"
40659Will she be long, do you think?
40659Would you rather I went?
40659You call that nothing?
40659You do n''t believe in that old fetish of baptismal regeneration, surely, Phyllis? 40659 You do n''t imagine I intend to sit at home and twiddle my thumbs, while you take the whole burden on your little shoulders-- do you?"
40659You have been on the bridge?
40659You mean to say Phyllis was taken ill in the_ morning_, Edmund, and you did not let me know? 40659 You mean to say you never left a drop over from yesterday, in case of accidents?"
40659You mean, not immediately?
40659_ Can_ you?
40659_ What?_I cried, guessing his meaning in an instant, for I remembered his remark at tea that night when we were all so unhappy.
40659_ What?_I exclaimed.
40659_ What?_I stared at him, petrified with astonishment and indignation.
40659_ What_ am I to do?
40659_ Who_ told you that Mother Juke was there?
40659*****"But what are we going to do with him?"
40659And I thought to myself,"If this is how they feel towards me, how will they regard their father, who has treated them so brutally?
40659And as for knowing Miss Blount, if I do n''t know her, having her constantly in the house with me, who should?
40659And he cried,"_ Were_ you?
40659And then he would come back laden with"best loves"and"when was I coming to see them again?"
40659And where were the buggy and the bicycle-- not to speak of the trains?"
40659And yet how can I be sure?"
40659And, please''m, what shall I do about the children''s breakfast?"
40659Are you awake?"
40659Are you-- are you going back with us?"
40659Braye?"
40659But I want to know why you concluded that she was, when I had not mentioned the fact?"
40659But then, what''s the use?
40659But what sort of a trip do you fancy?
40659Ca n''t you take a joke?
40659Cold and clean and briny to the lips-- oh, what is there to equal it in the way of medicine for soul and body?
40659Come, you are not going to spoil this happy day for us all, are you?
40659Did I not remember it?
40659Did I say that the happiest moment of my life was when he called me a brave girl?
40659Did he remember the night when little Bobby shot himself, trying to get an opossum skin for his mother''s birthday?
40659Do you suppose I want her to be slighted and humiliated because I am?
40659Do you suppose I want them to go on thinking that you are their only friend, and I their implacable enemy?
40659Do you think that Harry, if properly advised, would persist in taking his own way in spite of us?
40659Do you want to set it about everywhere that I turned your mother out of her own son''s house?
40659Does love fly out of the window when poverty walks in at the door?
40659Eh?"
40659Errington got her for us, and as he''s attending Phyllis----""He would still go on attending Phyllis, I suppose?"
40659For was he not doing beautifully up to the moment when Lily was allowed to see him and upset him with her tales?
40659Had about enough of it?"
40659Have you come back to the Bendigo for good?
40659He called to me at short intervals,"Are you all right?"
40659He said,"Hullo, Polly, where are you off to?"
40659He was safe at Sydney, all well; and would I telegraph immediately to inform him how it was with me?
40659How am I to keep them at the Grammar School, and have a governess for the girls, and support the house and all, on my poor three hundred a year?"
40659How is it?"
40659How would she have looked if she had seen her mother coming out of the waxworks?
40659How''s Harry?
40659How_ could_ you abandon me like that, when I was so ill and unhappy?"
40659I ejaculated, dissembling my surprise,"and, pray, who says so?"
40659I never have been a cruel mother, have I?
40659I suppose it wo n''t be_ more_ than a month?
40659I wonder what the captain will think when he hears of it?
40659I''m glad we went, are n''t you, Polly?"
40659Is he on the wharf, by the way?
40659Is he, oh,_ is_ he going to die?"
40659Juke?"
40659Makes us feel very ancient, do n''t it?"
40659Many an early visit have I paid the captain up there, have n''t I, Captain?"
40659Missing the children?
40659Mrs. Harris-- do you want anything?"
40659Mrs. Juke"--she was lurking in the passage outside--"will you be kind enough to send Edmund to me?
40659New Zealand?
40659No use having a family, and nothing to keep it on, is it?
40659Not much, but perhaps enough----""Does it mean that you are going away?"
40659Now, Tom, when we have settled the affair of the christening-- but we must do that first----""And how''s it to be done?"
40659Otherwise should I be here?"
40659Otherwise, what''s the use of being parents at all?
40659Porridge spoilt?
40659Portland and Warrnambool?
40659So long ago as yesterday?
40659Tasmania?
40659There''s nothing to wait for, if we do n''t wait for the letters, is there?"
40659This''ll bring the grass on, and make the land splendid for ploughing, hey?
40659Very strict ideas about duty, but that''s a fault on the right side, is n''t it?
40659Was it likely?
40659Was she not?"
40659Was there any harm in a little light chaff of this kind?
40659What can I do-- what uttermost service or sacrifice can I offer-- for all Thy goodness to me?"
40659What do you think, Polly?
40659What has Edmund Juke been doing?"
40659What have you heard?
40659What shall it be?"
40659What sort of insensate creatures can they be who do not love the sea?
40659What would a thousand terra- cotta tablecloths matter now?
40659What''s the matter, old girl?
40659What''s the use of money, if we ca n''t enjoy it together?
40659What, I wonder, would_ my_ mother have thought of a single woman attending a lady in her confinement?
40659What, are you going to accuse me of not speaking the truth?"
40659When he gets another attack----""Oh, do you think he will have another?"
40659When he saw me he smiled in an odd, constrained way, and said, as though it did n''t matter one way or the other:"Well, Polly?
40659When you ask me to remain, do you contemplate keeping on that nurse who was so insolent to me?"
40659Who''d be a mother, if she could foresee what would come of it?
40659Why not now, when a worse thing had befallen me?
40659Why not?"
40659Why not?"
40659Why not?"
40659Would I also write fully and at once, so that he might get the letter before he left?
40659You do n''t think the poor little soul would have been plunged into fire and brimstone because a man did not make incantations over it?"
40659You know as well as I do that you are just cutting off your nose to spite your face-- now do n''t you, sweetheart?"
40659You wo n''t be so much alone if you belong to me, even when I am away-- will you, sweetheart?"
40659You would break down, and then where would he be?"
40659You would n''t have me leave him behind, all alone by himself?"
40659You would n''t like to die and leave me to sell matches in the streets?"
40659You_ will_ stay-- for our sakes-- won''t you?"
40659_ Is_ it fair that a sea- captain should have such miserable wage for such magnificent work?
40659_ do_ you realise what the next home- coming will be?
40659who?"
32394A constitutional?
32394About Sheila? 32394 Ah, but is n''t that just the way Ted has her so utterly-- through the boy?"
32394Alice North?
32394And how does your garden grow, Mistress Mary?
32394And look at her eyes-- as blue as Charlotte''s, are n''t they?
32394Are you sure, Lucindy? 32394 Are you_ sure_?"
32394At this late date?
32394Been calling on the girls, Burnett?
32394But ca n''t I do_ anything_?
32394But is that so terrible?
32394But what have you seen, Peter? 32394 But what, after all, does an understanding of rhetoric amount to?
32394But why, Ted? 32394 But why?"
32394Dear Mrs. Caldwell, how can I walk where your foot is too heavy?
32394Dear, how can I tell? 32394 Did you know that she brought Alice North home with her?"
32394Do n''t you realize, dear, that your talent is n''t ended at all?
32394Do n''t you suppose I realize what you might have done? 32394 Do n''t you_ see_?"
32394Do you-- do you love some one else?
32394Do you--- think-- you can forgive me?
32394Do? 32394 Genius?"
32394Has Lisbeth been after you again?
32394Has she any children?
32394Have n''t you got all you can eat?
32394Have you considered her future?
32394Have you read the''Ode to the Evening Star''?
32394High- brows, are n''t they-- the Brentwood Company?
32394How can he have gotten it?
32394How could she realize it-- at twenty? 32394 How''d she find it out?
32394Huh?
32394I am to tell him that?
32394I mean,answered Mrs. North,"that you are already doing remarkable work-- that you will go far-- unless----""Unless what?"
32394If they do not come--?
32394Is it?
32394Is n''t she too sweet?
32394Is she anybody special-- anything of a celebrity?
32394Is she? 32394 Leaving town?
32394Little Sheila? 32394 May I know who the fair lady is?"
32394Must n''t I?
32394No,she remarked ruefully,"you do n''t believe anything that you ca n''t_ see_, do you, Ted?"
32394Now? 32394 Oh, Peter, do n''t I look nice?"
32394Oh, Sheila, are you sure?
32394Oh, Sheila-- don''t you understand? 32394 Oh, grandmother, did you?
32394Oh, grandmother, will you forgive me?
32394Oh, how could it have happened?
32394Oh,she cried,"what_ is_ the matter with me?"
32394Other- Sheila,she whispered,"Other- Sheila, is it_ you_?"
32394Really?
32394Renounce?
32394She took the_ baby_ to--?
32394She''d make a great man of me at forty- six?
32394Sheila--and his voice was less sure and bold--"Sheila, have you ever been in love?
32394Sheila, did you know?
32394Sheila? 32394 Sheila?"
32394Some one you can-- marry?
32394Ted?
32394That she was n''t wise enough to''trim the wick of a star''? 32394 The mistake, the accident, would n''t have happened?"
32394Then he would get over his unfortunate love in time-- wouldn''t he? 32394 Then it is best to speak it, after all?
32394Then it is best to speak it?
32394Then it''s a bargain-- not only for the present, but for the future-- after she graduates-- as long as she needs me?
32394Then she is promising-- for all your laughter?
32394Then she knows you''ve brought them to me?
32394Then why go? 32394 Then you think it''s rather a great thing to be able to write?"
32394To--_marry_?
32394Well, then----"Well, then--_what_?
32394What about it? 32394 What are you laughing at, Peter?"
32394What do you mean?
32394What do you mean?
32394What do you want of more nuts?
32394What do you want?
32394What have you been thinking of so seriously all evening?
32394What if dreams come true?
32394What if, after all, dreams sometimes came true?
32394What is it, Ted?--the thing that''s eating into her heart? 32394 What of your writing, Sheila dear?
32394What shall I do with my poet, Peter? 32394 What should I forgive you?
32394What was it Mrs. Caldwell once said?
32394What will you be doing next?
32394What will you wear?
32394What''s become of the poet you used to see in her?
32394What''s happened to you?
32394What''s the use of pretending that_ this_ is a''life- work''--a''noble profession''?
32394What?
32394Why ca n''t I?
32394Why did n''t you-- Oh, why_ did n''t_ you-- take what was left to you?
32394Why do you tell me that now-- now that it''s too late?
32394Why not here? 32394 Why, Peter?"
32394Why, what''s the matter?
32394Why?
32394Will you let me advise you?
32394Will you wear it Friday night?
32394Wiser?
32394With him there?
32394Would n''t a woman friend do as well?
32394You are n''t going to tell her good- bye yourself?
32394You ca n''t? 32394 You know how she reads-- quite beyond the ordinary little girl''s appreciation?"
32394You mean,cried Charlotte incredulously,"that you advised her to shirk the greatest experience possible to a woman?
32394You mean-- Eric?
32394You mean-- Sheila?
32394You plead for Ted?
32394You think he demands so much of her then? 32394 You think it''s_ funny_?"
32394You''ll come back? 32394 You''ll come back?"
32394You''ve actually selected her?--you have her waiting for me?
32394_ Do n''t_ you think it''s funny?
32394_ Lies_?
32394_ Something_? 32394 _ You_ wanted them?"
32394Ah, what would I do without my child?"
32394Alice North put out her hand again:"I trust I have n''t intruded-- offended?"
32394And Mrs. Caldwell glanced at Peter as if to add,"Did n''t I tell you he was n''t good enough for Sheila?"
32394And Sheila-- Ah, what had she not taught him-- what had she not taught herself-- of the woman''s part in a man''s work-- a man''s life?
32394And always it was as if he said to her,"What other name could be half so sweet?"
32394And he did not even look around until an amused voice inquired:"So absorbed, Professor Peter?"
32394And in her next question she took a step to meet it:"Grandmother, what is it?--the thing that will be mine?"
32394And now there came the question:"Why deny them any longer?"
32394And she leaned earnestly toward him:"_ Oh, Peter, is n''t she wonderful_?"
32394And then, to her nod,"May I go with you?"
32394And then, with pained surprise,"Why, that_ was_ a lie, was n''t it?"
32394And then,"Do n''t you know what it is, Other- Sheila?"
32394And then--_what if dreams came true_?
32394And with Eric at school-- don''t you see, my dear, that it''s something to do I need?
32394And, granting that, would it be fair for him to ask another woman to take what was left of-- of his affection?
32394And-- you are going to have a child, are n''t you, Sheila?"
32394Are you a cave woman-- that you should be just your husband''s docile chattel?"
32394Are you_ sure_?"
32394Bennett?"
32394But Mrs. Caldwell was not to be abashed:"I''ve been a shocking hypocrite, have n''t I?
32394But if Sheila wants me to see her poems, why has n''t she brought them to me herself?"
32394But if they do not come--?"
32394But-- granting that Charlotte may love me-- is it for her sake that you want me to marry her?"
32394CHAPTER X"Sheila, did you know?"
32394Caldwell?"
32394Compared to the joy of it, what was the joy of looking into a mirror and finding oneself fair?
32394Confess now-- haven''t you?"
32394Defeated?
32394Did somebody make love to you?"
32394Did you really believe you had to buy God''s mercy?
32394Did your conscience hurt you, Sheila?"
32394Did your grandmother scold you much?"
32394Do I really seem so grown- up?"
32394Do n''t he, Sheila?"
32394Do n''t you see how-- how restless I am?"
32394Do n''t you see that it''s just the same for both of us?
32394Do n''t you suppose I''ve seen what you''ve given up for me-- for me and Eric?"
32394Do n''t you understand what I mean?"
32394Do n''t you understand?
32394Do n''t you?"
32394Do you think I''d have done it without her permission?
32394Do you think he blamed her?"
32394For a vacation?"
32394Glad?
32394Grandmother, do you suppose_ that''s_ what I''ve wanted all the time, without knowing it-- to be good?"
32394Have a drink with me before I go on?"
32394Have n''t you-- when you were as young as Sheila?
32394Helpless?
32394His little life-- Ah, what was it not worth?
32394How can I tell what it will be for my little girl?"
32394How could she ever have hoped to keep her child-- she who had not been glad of his coming?
32394How could they recover themselves?
32394How could they sing and soar-- those fragile, shattered things?
32394How could you do such a thing?"
32394How, indeed, could she hope to keep him now?
32394How, then, could he be responsible?"
32394How_ could_ he fail with Sheila to stimulate him, to assist him, to believe in him?
32394How_ dare_ you call me silly?
32394I want my music and motherhood, too, but-- if I ever have to choose between them-- do you doubt that I''ll take motherhood?"
32394Is it important?"
32394Is n''t that long skirt becoming to her?"
32394Is there-- anybody else?"
32394It is sad that we should be like that, is n''t it, Peter?
32394It was very strange-- unless----""Unless----?"
32394It would n''t be fair to make yourself beautiful with borrowed plumage, would it, little bird of paradise?
32394Life-- life is more merciful than that, is n''t it?"
32394Marriage swallows women terribly, does n''t it?"
32394Maybe you''ve read something of hers?"
32394Mrs. Caldwell smiled:"What do you suppose I''m living for?"
32394Oh, Peter, will_ you_ help?"
32394Oh, Sheila, Sheila, where is your independence, your sense of your rights as an individual, a human being?
32394Oh, Sheila, are n''t the little sleeves cunning?
32394Or was it what he did not suspect-- that she had always understood him too well?
32394Peter grimaced:"You?
32394Peter''s face flushed darkly:"Do you think Ted reproached her for that?
32394Peter, why do n''t you write a book?"
32394See?
32394She and her dreams?
32394She turned on him with a flare of temper that burned up her humility so far as he was concerned:"How_ dare_ you call me queer?
32394Sheila pointed to them:"You remember what Mrs. North said-- that a woman could n''t be both mother and artist?"
32394Sheila stared at her:"_ You_ feel that way?
32394Sheila was sorry for Charlotte, but she began to feel vaguely flattered on her own account:"What''s the secret?"
32394Suppose I married a man who resented my music?"
32394The master''s star pupil?"
32394The same?
32394Then Ted does n''t mind your writing?"
32394Then a disturbed look fluttered across his face:"Do you actually mean that there''s no escape?"
32394Then you''ve seen?"
32394Then, gravely, she inquired:"What would you think the biggest thing in life, Ted-- if you were a woman-- a woman like Alice North?"
32394Those early fancies of his for girls whom he deemed too poor to marry-- what had they been but fancies indeed?
32394Was it as bad as that with you?
32394Was not destiny wiser than she?
32394Was there as little hope as that?
32394What do you think of her?"
32394What do you want, Ted?"
32394What had they to do with Eric and Eric''s future?
32394What has it done for_ me_?"
32394What is the matter with me?"
32394What made you do such a thing?"
32394What makes you think she''s likely to be?"
32394What shall I do?"
32394What should I do with a poet on my hands?
32394What was any other beauty beside this beauty of words, of subtle harmony and exquisite imagery?
32394What was it-- who was it-- that she saw in her eyes?
32394What wonder that I had my dreams about you?"
32394What wonder that, however unpractically, she had made an appeal to one whose heart she had divined better than she knew?
32394What wonder that, in her passionate solicitude, she had reached out to the one person whose understanding sympathy she could count upon?
32394What wonder, even, that he had made her a sort of promise?
32394What''s the matter with you, Sheila?"
32394Where''s the lie?
32394Why do n''t I chuck it all?
32394Why should she require a man''s friendship at all?
32394Why should she require anyone but himself and Eric?
32394Why, above all, should Sheila go home_ with_ her?
32394Why?
32394Why_ do n''t_ I go away?
32394Will you let me train her?"
32394Would he cheer and encourage, would he even tolerate, a dreamer, a poet, a worker in mere beauty?
32394Would he desire it in his son?
32394Would he ever regard art as more than a shadow of life?
32394Would it be fair to ask her to take-- a spoiled life?"
32394Would you mind going to her for a bit?"
32394Yet how could he offer less than his best to a creature so fine, so honest, so loyal as he knew Charlotte to be?
32394You advised her to forego_ that_?"
32394You just want to do more than anybody else, do n''t you?
32394You promise?"
32394You will?
32394You-- with your music, your chances to study, to make a career for yourself?"
32394_ You ca n''t_?
32394_ You''d_ always back a man up in his undertakings-- if you loved him-- wouldn''t you?"
32394she would inquire of it quaintly,"what_ will_ you be doing next, Other- Sheila?"
46375''Sweet''?
46375''Terribly thrilled'', are you? 46375 After what?"
46375And may we have Nell and Chick over to- morrow night, Cousin Di?
46375Any snakes?
46375Are n''t they? 46375 Are you afraid?"
46375Are you easily scared?
46375Are you rooming in the old part, then? 46375 Are you trying to burn up the house with a candle?"
46375But can we get out?
46375But did you look in Jan''s den?
46375But how did he get out? 46375 But what else does the ghost do, and who is the ghost anyway?"
46375Could Paulina have locked it by mistake?
46375Did I? 46375 Did the boys tell you to ask Nell and me if the ghost walked last night?"
46375Did you ever see my mother?
46375Did you find the ghost''s costume there?
46375Did you know my mother?
46375Did you know that you are going to have supper with us at home to- night, after our picnic dinner in the hills?
46375Did you see the light in the wall, Paulina, that night?
46375Did you sleep well in your new quarters?
46375Do you keep some things up here, too? 46375 Do you mind?"
46375Do you suppose that Jan ever found this?
46375Do you suppose that the boys could fool us in some way?
46375Do you think so? 46375 Do you think that a person would have to know you a long while first?
46375Do you think that my mother could possibly be alive somewhere?
46375Get ready to ride, wo n''t you? 46375 Get your box?"
46375Girls,said Paulina,"did you hear it?"
46375Has Ah got cake foh suppuh? 46375 Has Paulina keys?"
46375Has the''old Dutch house''stood since''way back in''Knickerbocker''times?
46375Have n''t you had any_ breakfast_? 46375 Have you seen yours, yet, Jannet?"
46375Honest, Paulina?
46375Honestly, Jan, did you ever hear or see anything strange?
46375How do you do, Uncle Pieter?
46375How long is it since my uncle''s second wife went away?
46375How old are you, Jannet?
46375How''s the bum back, Uncle Andy?
46375I did it once in a while, half for fun, too, to scare Hepsy and Paulina, but you never heard any of it, so why would your wife want me to do it? 46375 I know how you must feel,--sort of dazed, are n''t you?"
46375I still do n''t believe in''fortunes,''and neither do you, Mister Jan, but it is funny how they hit it sometimes, is n''t it?
46375I want to take something to your aunt, Lina, and to Miss Hilliard, and do you think it would be very piggy just to have this by ourselves? 46375 Is Chick a ventriloquist?"
46375Is it so that you have a workshop and everything, back where I room?
46375Is n''t a soul that I can see, Jannet,she said,"What has become of the ghost?"
46375Is n''t that strange? 46375 Is that so?
46375Is this''Who''s Who,''my daughter?
46375It ca n''t be true, can it? 46375 It''s a real''haunted house,''then?"
46375Jannet Eldon, huh? 46375 May I come in, Paulina?"
46375Nobody_ could_ have made them up and put them there, could they?
46375Now, who can Diana Holt be?
46375Oh, you know, Miss Hilliard, do n''t you, how I have been so glad for you and Miss Marcy and all my friends?
46375Oh,_ are_ you, Uncle Pieter? 46375 Really?
46375Say, Jannet,soberly said Jan,"may I be your second husband?"
46375See this little worn place, with the wood that gives a little? 46375 She helps clean Jan''s den sometimes, does n''t she?"
46375That other room just like this,--are you afraid to go in there?
46375The whole of it?
46375The women now use cigarettes, do n''t they?
46375Uncle Pieter, do you care if I go around the old house and find out all about it? 46375 Very wise remark, Nell; but do n''t you want to find out about it?"
46375Was the bed kept made up, that you knew you would find something?
46375Was there a light in the wall, too? 46375 Well, do n''t you think it possible, Uncle Pieter, that there is a secret passageway of some sort?"
46375Well,said Jannet, as they entered the room again,"shall we wake up Paulina and get things stirred up?
46375Were n''t the girls lovely, Miss Hilliard?
46375Were they playing tricks on you and Nell?
46375What are you doing, Jannet?
46375What are you, most noble ancestress?
46375What did Paulina mean,''over her head''?
46375What did mother tell you, Paulina?
46375What do you mean, child?
46375What does it mean?
46375What ghost would carefully take a blue comforter through walls and finally deposit it neatly, well folded, in the closet where it belongs?
46375What is Chick''s right name?
46375What is the matter with P''lina?
46375What room has been made ready for her, Diana?
46375What''s all this?
46375What''s on the other side of the chimney?
46375What''s that?
46375What''s the matter, Jannet?
46375What''s the matter, Miss Jannet?
46375What?
46375When did you first see Janet?
46375Where are the Van Meters buried?
46375Where have you been?
46375Where''ve you been all this time Miss Jannet?
46375Who can tell what the future will bring my girls?
46375Who is John, Cousin Diana?
46375Who is she, Paulina?
46375Who lives there?
46375Who told you? 46375 Who''s the girl?"
46375Who?
46375Whom are you going to invite, Janet?
46375Why did n''t you tell me all this before?
46375Why do I have Lucy, Jan? 46375 Why do n''t you ring, then, instead of getting in this foolish way?"
46375Why do you want to know that?
46375Why does n''t she take it to a bank?
46375Why should I?
46375Why, Mother,she softly said,"did you come,--at last?"
46375Why, do you?
46375Why, is she dead, too?
46375Why?
46375Why?
46375Will it interrupt your affairs too much, John?
46375Wo n''t it be fine to go to a home where you do about as you please, the way it is at your house?
46375Wo n''t we feel silly, Jannet? 46375 Would n''t his sweetheart marry him?"
46375Would you care, then, if the old wreck got hurt again?
46375Yes, how did you know that?
46375Yes, is n''t it? 46375 Yes, is n''t it?
46375Yes, is n''t it?
46375You are not afraid of Paulina''s ghosts, then?
46375You can scarcely get used to our gentle P''lina, can you, Jannet?'' 46375 You do n''t intend to send me away, then, till I get married?"
46375You were in the war, were n''t you, Cousin Andy?
46375Your courage is not quite up to that yet?
46375_ Can_ we have a party and dress up some time?
46375_ Why_ do n''t you think I ought to be here, Paulina? 46375 And what will your uncle Pieter say to us?
46375And where are the steps?"
46375And you never saw me or anything?"
46375Any other woes that you can think of?"
46375Are n''t you afraid of the ghost?"
46375Are you lonesome?"
46375Are you really going to take her something to- morrow, Nell?
46375But Jan, sha n''t we take something for the picnic?"
46375But they would be locked, too, would n''t they?"
46375But where could she put them if she took them from the desk?
46375But who would climb the balcony, other than Jan or Chick or some other boy?
46375But wo n''t it be wonderful to have some kin folks?
46375But you would n''t want_ me_ to go there with you, would you?
46375But you would not mean to cut me off from the people that have been so good to me, would you?"
46375By the way, Jannet, did you know that Andy mounted a horse and rode with me quite a little?
46375By the way, what perfume does Vittoria use?"
46375Ca n''t you?"
46375Can we have a talk?
46375Can you keep a secret, Nell?"
46375Could her uncle have taken them out by a sudden thought of surprising her with them some time?
46375Could it be possible that she had spent all Lina''s lesson period in looking at the books, reading the letters and thinking?
46375Could it be some joke?
46375Could it be, Jannet thought, so short a time since she left the school and came to Uncle Pieter''s?
46375Could it_ really_ be ghosts, that can go in or out of walls?"
46375Could that be your name, Janet?
46375Could there be a burglar?
46375Could there be a crack in the bottom?"
46375Did n''t your fortune say that you would lose something and find it again?"
46375Did she know that poem, or did n''t she?
46375Did the lady tell you that your uncle wants you to go as soon as possible to the Van Meter place in New York and make your home there?"
46375Did you know my mother?"
46375Did you know that I can ride again, Jannet?"
46375Did you like my mother, Paulina?"
46375Did you meet anyone in the halls?"
46375Did_ you_ know that I had a long talk with Uncle Pieter, and that I''m going to stay in the family and not go back to school?"
46375Do n''t you suppose she heard that moaning?"
46375Do the ghosts walk at night, especially when there is a storm?"
46375Do you like Andy?"
46375Do you remember anything about it?
46375Do you suppose that we could see the attic, too?"
46375Do you suppose we''ll have to be up here after_ dark_?"
46375Do you think that you have to do it?"
46375Do you want me to call you John or Jan?"
46375Does Jan know the story?"
46375Does this depress you, Janet?"
46375Don''yo''want to tas''the frostin''out o''the pan?"
46375Finally he said,"Do you remember anything else, Vittoria?
46375First, where were the pearls?
46375Had not Janet been in this school since her sixth year?
46375Had she not just acquired one?
46375Has you seen dat slick- headed gal Paulina takes around to help her clean?"
46375Have you been happy here, Janet?"
46375Have you been here all these years?"
46375Have you had that?"
46375Honestly, Allie May, is there a package for me?
46375How about Paulina?
46375How come you ai n''t been here befo''?"
46375How could any one enter there?
46375How did they lose me, I wonder?
46375How do you get there?
46375How long ago did this separation between her uncle and his wife occur?
46375How many things might have happened to them in these years, and why had not her mother been able to find them?
46375How would it do for you to call personally in a little while, after we hear Janet''s reports about her people?"
46375How would you like to have me take Janet there, or to Albany, rather, where Van Meter says she will be met?"
46375I believe that the pearls were there, and where could they have gone?
46375I can not think that any one could have taken my pearls, yet where_ are_ they?
46375I gather that the ghost has not offered to harm you in any way?"
46375I guess that you''ll get the long trip to Europe with your mother, and how about the''luck when you are found''?"
46375I guess we could squeeze through, could n''t we?"
46375I have n''t heard another sound, have you?"
46375I left it on the ring with the rest, or--""You say''she,''--how do you know that it is n''t''he''?"
46375I suppose, Jannet, that you have been trained to think that school hours are the only thing in the world worth keeping?"
46375I thought that Uncle Pieter wanted me to ride Ben?"
46375I was away,--what was the slip of paper?"
46375I''ll have to go to school some more, wo n''t I?"
46375If_ they_ were not afraid to be up there, why should_ she_ be afraid of the attic?
46375In a storm, who would hear them?
46375Is n''t he a queer old-- fellow?
46375Is this the stump of the old black walnut that nearly killed you when it fell?"
46375Jan telephoned the news to Nell and Chick and stopped Jannet in the hall one time to ask her,"How about the fortune that old Grandma Meer told you?
46375Janet, holding Miss Hilliard''s hand looked up into the kind eyes and asked soberly,"Do you suppose that really is my name, Miss Hilliard?"
46375Jannet continued,"Where''s Vittoria?"
46375Jannet''s fair hair, her quiet, sweet young face, the slender hand under her cheek,--who_ was_ this?
46375Mother must have died before my grandfather, so how could Uncle Pieter cut her out of her rights?"
46375No telling how soon the girls will come back,--but_ who_ locked us in, then?"
46375Now do you know everything you came to ask?"
46375Now, let me see, what were we going to talk about?"
46375Now, where below was there room for the rest of the secret chamber?
46375Oh, how can I do that?
46375Once when she was coming back from a ride, Uncle Pieter, also on his horse, rode up to her and asked,"Any sign of the pearls?"
46375Or was there such a thing as an unhappy ancestral spirit that wandered around at times?
46375Paulina opened it a crack and looked out with the expression of"who wants me now?"
46375Paulina says''Keep Out,''in large letters, does n''t she, Jan?"
46375Perhaps there are boxes of your mother''s in the attic, and there may be chests of bygone ancestors,--who knows?
46375Say, Paulina, who goes into the attic besides you and me?"
46375Second, who had played the part of ghost?
46375See?
46375See?"
46375Shall I look in a little later?
46375Shall we open it?"
46375Shall you feel like going if Uncle takes me traveling a little bit?"
46375She said,''what do we care?
46375She, too, suspected Jan, yet Paulina might have had a hand in it, and how about the maid, Vittoria?
46375Should she go back the way in which she had come?
46375Should she leave the pearls in the desk?
46375Should she tell her uncle about them?
46375So some of the girls have mothers and you want to know about yours?
46375That scrap must refer to the loss of the pearls, yet why should her mother_ write_ to her uncle about it?
46375That was the name of the girl,--so you are Pieter''s niece, then?"
46375The first adventure had been a pleasant one; but how would she fare with Paulina, whom she intended to"beard"in her room that evening?
46375The same old ghost, a burglar, or was Nell only startled at some little sound?
46375The"folks"expected to be out late anyway, and if the storm was too bad, who knew when they_ would_ get home?
46375Then Jannet drew her chair closer and said,"Now may I take time to tell you what has been happening?"
46375Vittoria was too young,--but_ was_ she so very young?
46375Was it a Dutch name, too?
46375Was it really her name?
46375Was n''t it great that her mother had a sense of humor and was smiling over the booklet?
46375Was that what Paulina meant, then?
46375Were there any other letters?"
46375What are we going to do up here besides the picnic lunch, Nell?"
46375What do you mean?"
46375What had Uncle Pieter said about her"having some rights in the home of her ancestors?"
46375What is it?"
46375What should she do first?
46375What time is it, Jannet?"
46375What was Nell saying?
46375What was it?
46375What was the use of doing it all to- day?
46375What''s the idea?
46375Where are the girls, anyway?
46375Where had she gotten the impression that her mother would be buried among the Van Meters?
46375Where has the child been, and what can you both tell me about my husband?"
46375Where is Uncle Pieter?"
46375Who do you suppose she meant when she told me to ask Uncle Pieter?"
46375Who had taken them?
46375Who was P.V.M.?
46375Who was here, then?"
46375Who was she?"
46375Who_ are_ you?"
46375Whose was it, so lovely with its surprised and tender smile?
46375Why did n''t Grandmother Eldon leave me some word about my mother?"
46375Why had Jannet not thought of that when she read the diary just now?
46375Why had n''t she asked Jan?
46375Why had n''t she told Nell to have Paulina take up the hunt with her?
46375Why should he send for me?"
46375Why should you not have it?"
46375Why, did they have snap- shots_ then_?
46375Why, whose pretty slippers were those by the chair?
46375Why?
46375Will I have the same allowance as usual?"
46375Will you get my horse ready while I dress?"
46375Will you mind if I get supper for us?
46375Wo n''t it be fun if I have?"
46375Would n''t you like that?"
46375Would you like that?"
46375You did n''t know that I''m a very fine cook, did you?
46375You do n''t worry about ghosts, do you Jannet?"
46375You feel pretty sure that it was she?"
46375You have always thought that the Janet came from your grandmother''s Scotch ancestry, have n''t you?"
46375You remember that wind storm, Nell?"
46375You were n''t with her all the time, though, were you, Janet?"
46375You will be afraid to go to sleep again, wo n''t you?"
46375You would think that I''d have loads of time, would n''t you?
46375_ Could_ it be Paulina after all?
46375_ Was_ she a Van Meter?
46375asked Janet suddenly,"John that spoke of the''ha''nts''?"
46375asked Paulina,"that blue comforter that I put on your bed?"
46375exclaimed Jannet,"that accounts for some of the noises in the attic, does n''t it?
55571''Oh, bairnie, syn the wand began Nane saw sic sicht o''muckle wae, Where gat ye, son, this witch wuman, Wi gowden hair an''skin o''snaw?'' 55571 A buffalo-- a kind of cow, is n''t it?"
55571A large field, is n''t it?
55571A nostalgia of the coverts, I presume?
55571A very nice explanation,said his aunt disbelievingly,"but do you think it is one your wife will accept?"
55571A wonderful old place, is n''t it?
55571Ah, pig of a horse why go so slow? 55571 Alone?"
55571Am I to take that as a compliment?
55571And I daresay you are thinking of going there next?
55571And Lady Errington?
55571And Miss Sheldon?
55571And Sir Guy can not, I suppose?
55571And about leaving San Remo?
55571And afterwards?
55571And are you not in love with her now?
55571And did she stay through it all?
55571And do n''t you think I have any excuse for being unhappy?
55571And his wife?
55571And how are things, aunt?
55571And shall I ever gain that enviable distinction?
55571And that is----?
55571And the lover?
55571And the son and heir, on whose birth I must congratulate you?
55571And then?
55571And then?
55571And then?
55571And what about my duties as hostess?
55571And what about yourself?
55571And what about yourself?
55571And what am I to do?
55571And what is Aunt Jelly''s opinion?
55571And where are you going?
55571And who was he?
55571And why is it over?
55571And why not? 55571 And why not?
55571And why?
55571And why?
55571And you advise me to do the same?
55571And you, Miss Sheldon,said Eustace, taking no notice of the old lady''s ill- nature,"what kind of a life have you been leading?"
55571And you?
55571Anything wrong?
55571Are n''t you coming too?
55571Are those your last words?
55571Are you mad?
55571Are you not dancing, Sir Guy?
55571Are you not?
55571Are you talking about your prescription, or yourself?
55571Are you?
55571Astute diplomatist!--then I suppose you wo n''t call with me on my respected aunt?
55571At seeing me here, or at my dress? 55571 Awesome?
55571Because of Sammy?
55571Bonnie Prince Charlie, I suppose?
55571But I can not understand----"Of course, you ca n''t,cried Errington vehemently, leaping to his feet,"how could you?
55571But is it possible to reconcile man and Nature?
55571But of what do you accuse her?
55571But suppose he wo n''t accept?
55571But surely the child is a bond of union between you?
55571But what would London do without them?
55571But when you come back?
55571But will he choose?
55571But will she accept your explanation?
55571By causing a divorce?
55571By the way, how is Aunt Jelly?
55571By the way, how is Lady Errington?
55571By the way,observed Guy,"who is Miss Sheldon?
55571By the way,she said lightly,"do you know I''m a relation of yours?"
55571By- the- way, Laxton, have you read the''Arabian Knights''?
55571By- the- way, Mr. Gartney, is n''t the company rather mixed?
55571Ca n''t I come to Paradise also?
55571Ca n''t you share the spoil?
55571Can any one enjoy himself here?
55571Can he resist me?
55571Can you ask? 55571 Can you ask?"
55571Can you give me no hope?
55571Can you remember an old friend, Miss Sheldon?
55571Certainly,replied Gartney carelessly,"but will you have time?
55571Did I never tell you of Mactab?
55571Did I tell you Errington is here to- day?
55571Did he write books himself?
55571Did you ever see a finer child?
55571Did you hear me say so?
55571Did you think I was lost in Arabian solitudes?
55571Do I? 55571 Do n''t you think so, aunt?"
55571Do n''t you think you''d better drop these flowers of speech?
55571Do n''t you? 55571 Do n''t you?
55571Do you actually expect me to do that?
55571Do you know her?
55571Do you know what a prairie is?
55571Do you know, Mr. Gartney, you are very rude?
55571Do you like Lady Errington?
55571Do you mean to infer it''s mine?
55571Do you mind my smoking?
55571Do you really mean that?
55571Do you really think so?
55571Do you remember Miss Minnie Pelch, poor Aunt Jelly''s companion? 55571 Do you remember what wise La Rochefoucauld says?"
55571Do you tell her everything?
55571Do you think I can forget the insult his wife put upon me?
55571Do you think I care if she did or if she did not?
55571Do you think I would have sent for you had she been?
55571Do you think I would place myself in rivalry with that woman? 55571 Do you think I''m a fool?"
55571Do you think Mrs. Veilsturm ever forgave or forgot the slight she received from your wife? 55571 Do you think it enviable to be dissected for the benefit of a carping old woman?
55571Do you think it was any pleasure for me to have him running after me? 55571 Do you think so-- from your own experience?"
55571Do you think so? 55571 Do you think so?
55571Do you think so? 55571 Do you think so?"
55571Do you think so?
55571Do you think so?
55571Do you think the latter quality an advantage then?
55571Do you think there''ll be a row if I married her?
55571Do you think you are the witch- woman of the ballad, destined to bring woe to Errington?
55571Do you use this place at all?
55571Do you?
55571Does he ever write letters?
55571Does she love him?
55571Does she love him?
55571Does that mean that you are anxious to get to the baby?
55571Eh!--what prophecy?
55571Eh!--why not? 55571 Eh?
55571Eh? 55571 Eh?
55571Eh?
55571Eh?
55571Eustace, why do n''t you find out? 55571 Excuse me, Major,"he said courteously,"but could I speak to you for a few moments?"
55571For Vienna?
55571For nine days, I suppose? 55571 For what?"
55571Good Heavens, Eustace, you surely do n''t believe all these lies?
55571Good Lord, man, have you left your tongue behind in Arabia?
55571Guy, what is your opinion?
55571Had n''t you better carry him?
55571Hardly?
55571Has Aunt Jelly been saying anything?
55571Has your cousin any home?
55571Haunted by what?
55571Have you any enemies?
55571Have you any reason?
55571Have you heard anything against her character?
55571Have you no word of pity?
55571Have you taken to poetry also? 55571 He has n''t swallowed anything has he?"
55571Hold your tongue,she said, in a fierce whisper,"do you want to compromise me before all these people?
55571How are you, Guy?
55571How are you, to- day, Lady Errington?
55571How can I believe his explanations? 55571 How can I make up for it?"
55571How dare she call on me-- how dare she?
55571How dare she? 55571 How dare you-- how dare you?
55571How did you drop across her, Miss Sheldon?
55571How do you do, Aunt Jelly?
55571How do you do, Eustace?
55571How do you do, Miss Sheldon?
55571How do you do, Mr. Gartney, after all this time?
55571How do you do?
55571How do you like the Italian girls?
55571How do, Gartney?
55571How does she resemble the Sleeping Beauty?
55571How kind of them?
55571How many of us do?
55571How so?
55571How so?
55571I am sorry for your foolish passion,she said gently,"but can I say more without lowering myself in your eyes?
55571I beg your pardon, would you mind spelling it?
55571I do, and therefore no doubt am an object of horror in your eyes?
55571I have n''t the least idea of what you''re talking about? 55571 I hope I''m included in the reservations?"
55571I looked into my mind, And what did I find? 55571 I say Guy,"remarked Eustace complacently,"is n''t it about time you stopped making a fool of yourself?"
55571I say, who is he-- the chap talking to Mrs. Veilsturm? 55571 I suppose I must congratulate you?"
55571I suppose we''ll see you and Mr. Gartney at Rome?
55571I suppose you have quite forgotten Como, Miss Sheldon?
55571I suppose you have quite forgotten Como?
55571I suppose you''re going to worry him about that poetry of yours?
55571I thought he was married?
55571I thought you did not like critics?
55571I thought you were up in town?
55571I thought your mother was?
55571I will, on your recommendation,he replied, taking a cup the maid was holding out,"but wo n''t you have some cake?"
55571I wonder if my prophecy has come true?
55571I wonder what Mactab would say to all this?
55571I wonder what she thinks a man is made of to be preached at? 55571 I wonder who that is?"
55571I''m afraid the beauty of an epigram is lost on you Macjean?
55571I''m in love am I?
55571I''m sure I do n''t know,said the young man somewhat ruefully,"it''s a deuce of a barn, is n''t it?
55571I''ve no doubt she''s happy,said Eustace significantly;"but what about her husband?"
55571I''ve no doubt you would, but, as you ca n''t, why waste time in useless threats?
55571I''ve read that book,observed Dolly with a gratified chuckle,"but it is rather a slow story is n''t it?"
55571I''ve shocked you, have I?
55571I? 55571 In that case, Lady Errington, may I stay out on the terrace?
55571Indeed why?
55571Is Billy Dolser a judge?
55571Is Johnnie still with you?
55571Is he better?
55571Is he really? 55571 Is he really?"
55571Is it a crime for a mother to love her child?
55571Is my husband with that woman?
55571Is n''t she an old cat?
55571Is n''t that rather a doubtful compliment?
55571Is n''t that rather dangerous?
55571Is n''t that rather hard on the husband?
55571Is n''t that shabby?
55571Is n''t that splitting straws?
55571Is she pretty?
55571Is she rich?
55571Is she to sink to the level of the husband? 55571 Is she very ill?"
55571Is she young?
55571Is that Sir Guy Errington?
55571Is that genuine, or a society romance?
55571Is that the only reason you are fond of him?
55571Is that your case?
55571Is that your special weakness?
55571Is the boy mad,said that gentleman to himself,"or only jealous?
55571Is there anything so extraordinary in that? 55571 Is there anything special you want?"
55571It is cruel to talk like that,she said hurriedly;"you do n''t think he looks ill, do you?
55571It''s that girl, I suppose?
55571Johnnie,asked Angus, without turning his head,"were you ever in love?"
55571Lady Errington, do n''t you think you are rather hard upon Guy?
55571Like a surprise packet?
55571Like me, I suppose?
55571May I come over again?
55571May I smoke a cigarette, Alizon?
55571May I some day drink the same health to you?
55571Minnie,she said to her companion, when they left Miss Corbin,"do you know anything about Flora Macdonald?"
55571Miss Pelch, will you honour me by seeing me to the door?
55571Miss Sheldon,said Lady Errington reflectively,"is that the pretty girl I met at Miss Corbin''s?"
55571More pleasantly employed, eh?
55571More so than you?
55571Mr. Macjean,she said lightly as he sank into a chair opposite to her, and leaned his arms on the cold marble of the table,"What do you think?"
55571Must you go, Sir Guy?
55571My dear Master,said Eustace reprovingly,"your mirth is complimentary, but rather noisy-- will you not be seated, Miss Sheldon?"
55571My dearest,cried Guy, in alarm,"what is the matter?"
55571My wife?
55571Myself?
55571No, it is not true?
55571No? 55571 No?
55571No?
55571Not enjoying yourself?
55571Not in words, certainly, but you hinted----I hinted nothing, because I''m not sure-- how can I be when I tell you I do n''t know Lady Errington?"
55571Not like critics, my dear fellow?
55571Nothing wrong, I hope?
55571Now I suppose you are going to stay at home, and tell your tales from your own chimney corner?
55571Now what does that mean?
55571Now what the deuce is that for?
55571OH, WILT THOU BE MY BRIDE, KATHLEEN?
55571Of course you will say nothing about South America?
55571Of walking, or the Master?
55571Oh no, really,replied Lady Errington, with polite mendacity,"do you think I am never happy away from Sammy?"
55571Oh, Eustace,cried Aunt Jelly significantly,"where is he now?
55571Oh, Guy, how can you speak so?
55571Oh, I say, is it?
55571Oh, I say, you know those words are actionable?
55571Oh, Macjean, is n''t it? 55571 Oh, Wilt Thou be my Bride, Kathleen?"
55571Oh, and do you think that will quiet him?
55571Oh, is he? 55571 Oh, is that it?"
55571Oh, it''s coming out, then?
55571Oh, man, why weep? 55571 Oh, nurse, is n''t he perfect?"
55571Oh, that''s it, is it?
55571Oh, who cares? 55571 Oh, yes, I remember now,"responded Otterburn indolently,"you said she was unfinished, did n''t you?
55571Or Cain!--he was rather fond of travelling, was n''t he?
55571Or champagne?
55571Otterburn, eh? 55571 Quanto, signor?"
55571Refusals of what?
55571See my treasure?
55571Shall we go back to the house?
55571She''s a jolly sort of woman, is n''t she?
55571So soon?
55571So you did do what I told you not to, Maraquita?
55571So you love a married woman?
55571So you would condemn two lives to perpetual misery for the sake of one man, who does not appreciate the sacrifice?
55571So you''ve come at last?
55571Sunday- school books, I suppose?
55571Suppose he does not get tired?
55571Suppose you send for his wife?
55571That sounds well-- any horsewhippings?
55571That''s right, Eustace,said Aunt Jelly, much pleased;"have a glass of wine before you go?"
55571The deuce you do,cried Sir Guy, taking a seat,"and who told you anything about her?"
55571The what?
55571Then what have you to complain of?
55571Then what is she?
55571Then why make it?
55571Then will you be glad to see me?
55571They are fools, are n''t they?
55571To you?
55571Upon what?
55571Was I cruel?
55571Was n''t that rather severe?
55571We were talking about''At Homes,''said Eustace, equably,"but as you''ve mentioned Mrs. Veilsturm, what is your opinion on that lady?"
55571We will never get tired, Mr.--I mean Angus?
55571We''ve been three months married, you know, and to- day is our last one of solitude, for Eustace and his friend will soon be here-- are you sorry?
55571Well, Alizon,said Errington, jocularly,"and what do you think of my cousin, Eustace?"
55571Well, Aunt Jelly, and how has the world been using you?
55571Well, Eustace, well?
55571Well, I hardly know-- I-- do you think Miss Sheldon would care to come?
55571Well, Miss Pelch, and how are you? 55571 Well, Mr. Gartney,"said Griff, when the story was finished and Eustace made no remark,"what do you say?"
55571Well, am I to have my dance?
55571Well, and what is wrong in that?
55571Well, my cousin Errington, is he all right?
55571Well, my prince, and how are you?
55571Well, we part friends?
55571Well, what did he say?
55571Well, what is the use of all these empty rooms? 55571 Well, what''s to be done?"
55571Well, why do n''t you come?
55571Well, why should n''t she?
55571Well,he said drearily,"and what do you intend to do?"
55571Well,said Miss Corbin sharply, for the seventh time,"is he coming?"
55571Well?
55571Well?
55571Well?
55571Were you not?
55571Were you?
55571What a shame-- I wonder where she is?
55571What about Major Griff?
55571What about quality?
55571What about?
55571What am I to do? 55571 What are his principles?"
55571What are you going to appear as?
55571What are you going to do then?
55571What are you saying to me? 55571 What are you sniffling for, Minnie?"
55571What can I do against that immortal music?
55571What can I say?
55571What can be the matter with her?
55571What can she do?
55571What could I do? 55571 What did she say?"
55571What did you intend?
55571What do you know about danger?
55571What do you know about it?
55571What do you mean?
55571What do you say to Cyprus? 55571 What do you say, Alizon?"
55571What do you say?
55571What do you think?
55571What does it mean?
55571What else?
55571What for?
55571What haunts him ever afterwards?
55571What is all right?
55571What is that tower on the hill?
55571What is the matter? 55571 What is the matter?
55571What is the meaning of the remark?
55571What is the purest love on earth? 55571 What is your experience?"
55571What kind of things, child? 55571 What man in the Merchant of Venice?"
55571What on earth are the Arabian Nights with a K?
55571What on earth are you muttering about, Guy?
55571What right have we to rob you?
55571What would you say if I married her, Johnnie?
55571What''s Rabelais? 55571 What''s prairie fever?"
55571What''s the good of calling in a medical man if you do n''t intend to confide in him?
55571What''s the good of my doing that?
55571What''s your wull then?
55571What, are you so superstitious as that?
55571What? 55571 What?"
55571When do you start?
55571Where are you going?
55571Where did he meet her?
55571Where do you want to go to?
55571Where is my husband?
55571Where to?
55571Where''s Gartney?
55571Where''s Mr. Trubbles to- day?
55571Who can foretell a woman''s remarks?
55571Who cares? 55571 Who is Mactab?"
55571Who is she with?
55571Who is your chaperon?
55571Who said he did, you blind bat? 55571 Who the deuce was he?"
55571Who was it said that this was the best of all possible worlds?
55571Whom do you mean by the''Other''?
55571Whose fault is it if I have acted badly?
55571Why Flora Macdonald?
55571Why did he not say goodbye?
55571Why did not your father----?
55571Why do n''t you divorce your husband?
55571Why do n''t you try some?
55571Why do you ask that?
55571Why do you call him a blackguard?
55571Why hide the Sheldon light under the Gartney bushel?
55571Why is n''t Aunt Jelly fulfilling her guardianship by seeing you through the temptations of the Continent?
55571Why not? 55571 Why not?
55571Why not? 55571 Why not?"
55571Why not?
55571Why not?
55571Why not?
55571Why not?
55571Why not?
55571Why on earth ca n''t you stay at home, instead of scampering all round the world?
55571Why should I?
55571Why should I?
55571Why should a woman love nothing but her child, and take no more notice of her husband than if he was a sign- post? 55571 Why should that be more desirable than any other piece?"
55571Why should they be detained? 55571 Why should they be?"
55571Why should you think so?
55571Why so?
55571Why, what''s the matter, dear?
55571Why, whatever would I do, if you did not live to read my little volume?
55571Why, whatever''s the matter, my lady?
55571Why?
55571Will it be long?
55571Will that suit you? 55571 Will you be so kind as to put it into an envelope and direct it?"
55571Will you sit down, Lady Errington?
55571Will you? 55571 With!--with that woman?"
55571Would I be dressed like this if I were going?
55571Would I?
55571Would n''t you like a little pillow for your head, dear Miss Jelly?
55571Yes and what did she say?
55571Yes, are they not? 55571 Yes, is it not?
55571Yes, should n''t he?
55571Yes, the scenery was charming, was it not?
55571Yes, what about him?
55571You agree with Guy, Alizon?
55571You among the number, I suppose?
55571You do n''t know Matthew Arnold''s poems, I suppose, Lady Errington?
55571You forgive me,she said contemptuously,"you forgive me?
55571You have been away?
55571You here?
55571You know I often have an instinct as to how things will go?
55571You know how much in love I was with her when we married?
55571You love my wife?
55571You love my wife?
55571You said Gartney was cynical,said Angus slowly,"what about yourself?"
55571You seem surprised?
55571You seem to know all about it?
55571You threaten me, do you?
55571You went to the funeral?
55571You were rather fond of her, were you not?
55571You would n''t sell it?
55571You wrote and told her all about them?
55571Your doing?
55571_ Cui bono?_said Gartney, listlessly.
55571''Questo è troopo?
55571A lover''s worship of his idol When bells ring out his happy bridal?
55571A maiden''s love for summer mirth?
55571A patriot''s when on foreign strand He suffers for his native land?
55571A poet''s or musician''s love For thoughts inspired from above?
55571Ah, Johnnie and how are you?"
55571Am I not the child''s father?
55571Am I right?"
55571And Eustace Gartney, poet, visionary, philosopher, pessimist-- what of him?
55571And Guy?
55571And is she going to adore her child for the rest of her life?"
55571And what do the critics know about the Wahhabees?"
55571And why?
55571And your friend, whom you were to bring?"
55571Are the people she is with pleasant?"
55571Are you coming with me now?"
55571Are you fond of baccarat?"
55571Are you?"
55571As dark as night, her curling hair, Her eyes-- two stars, her lips-- a rose, Whoever saw a prettier nose?
55571As these religious views of the godly Johnnie did not interest Otterburn, he proceeded:"What do you think of Miss Sheldon, Johnnie?"
55571Been writing any more poetry?
55571Bless the child, do you think I do n''t know what''s good for people?
55571Bless the man, do n''t I know what I''m talking about?
55571But about Mrs. Veilsturm-- you''ll call and see her with me, wo n''t you?"
55571But at the price of a man''s life?
55571But how many of us are capable of such asceticism?
55571But if I had conducted myself as you say-- if I had voluntarily gone to this woman whom you hate, who is to blame, you or I?
55571But if you will forgive me, Lady Errington----""Why not call me Alizon?"
55571But talking about Mr. Macjean, how is it I have not seen him?"
55571But what about herself?
55571But what do you look so horrified at?"
55571But what do you say to my plan?"
55571But what does it matter what we call it?
55571But who could tell what effect the intimacy of the last few weeks would have on their future lives?
55571By the way, you got my note about Victoria?"
55571By- the- way, would you mind telling me the time?"
55571By- the- way, you have not told me how your wife is?"
55571Can I do anything for you?"
55571Can I speak to you both without offence?"
55571Child of Satan, is not the corn of the illustrious Signor waiting for thee at Cantari?"
55571Could she be false to him, seeing that she had made such protestations of love?
55571Cut away from town I suppose because of your book?
55571Dear me, Mr. Macjean, what are you laughing at?"
55571Dear me, what has become of Guy?"
55571Did n''t you hear that idiot say so?"
55571Did not M. Gil Blas commence his adventurous career by being swindled in one?
55571Do my words weigh so lightly with you that you could forget them so easily?
55571Do n''t you think Alizon is looking well?"
55571Do they?
55571Do you know her?"
55571Do you know her?"
55571Do you mind my smoking?''
55571Do you remember him at Como, Mr. Gartney?
55571Do you remember my advice to you the other night?"
55571Do you think I''m going to let him go so easily?"
55571Do you think I''ve nothing else to do but to think of you?"
55571Do you think it''s right to deceive a dying person?"
55571Do you think that I did not feel all this?
55571Do you want a light?
55571Does she know what I am?"
55571Does that excuse his vice?
55571For ever will endure, If all the world be sinning, Why should we two be pure?"
55571Gartney smoked on quietly for a few moments, and then suddenly asked the question nearest his heart:"What about the Erringtons, Macjean?"
55571Gartney?"
55571Gartney?"
55571Gartney?"
55571Gartney?"
55571Gartney?"
55571Gartney?"
55571Guy, when do you go down to Denfield?"
55571Had she been too severe after all?
55571Has n''t he written to you?"
55571Have I not been a good husband to you since our marriage?
55571Have I not striven by every means in my power to win your heart?
55571Have you anything particular to do?
55571Have you got any blood, child?
55571Have you had bad news?
55571Have you heard anything about it?"
55571Have you met Aunt Jelly yet?"
55571Have you met Miss Sheldon yet?"
55571He came with you, did n''t he?"
55571Here''s Como-- dirty place, is n''t it?"
55571His wife!--was this his cold, stately wife who knelt so fondly beside him?
55571How could it be so?
55571How dare she?
55571How do you do?
55571How do you think I''ll look as a Crusader?"
55571How many of us would stand for long years in the outer darkness, knowing himself to be guiltless of the crime laid to his charge?
55571How on earth was a young man to make love to such a capricious girl?
55571How''s''The Pepper Box''going?"
55571I am going to tell you now, and you will believe me, will you not, Alizon?"
55571I hear that he is her trustee, and looks after her property for her; but what on earth do you know about her, Alizon?"
55571I say, look here, where do you go?"
55571I suppose Aunt Jelly has been saying something?"
55571I suppose Miss Sheldon will be there?"
55571I suppose it''s no use offering you one, Eustace?"
55571I suppose they still have the little Sunday evenings, and talk about the West Indian estates?"
55571I wonder Society tolerates those two, Eh?"
55571I wonder if there''s such a thing as an ice to be had?"
55571If Alizon is perfect, both as wife and mother, what more do you want?"
55571If Alizon knew all, she would never forgive her husband and then-- was it Fate that so persistently smoothed the road for his evil doing?
55571If she believes my explanation, well and good, if she does not----""Well?"
55571If she refuses me, I''ll go out to Africa with you, but if she accepts me----""Well?"
55571If so, I''ll write to her to come over----""What about the forgiveness?"
55571If so----Well, Otterburn?"
55571If this is the case, how will it end?"
55571In what degree?"
55571In what respect-- morals, scenery, manners?"
55571Is Aunt Jelly''s ward married yet?"
55571Is he as fond of his wife as ever?"
55571Is he coming?"
55571Is he really?--and Lady Errington?"
55571Is it necessary you should know?"
55571Is it then to be wondered at that I dreaded marriage with a man who would doubtless be as evil in his thoughts and deeds as was my father?
55571Is she pretty?
55571Is she rich?
55571Is that right?"
55571Is this illness serious?"
55571It is wrong-- I know it is wrong-- but what am I to do?
55571It may be true, for all I know, But would she kiss her brother so, And would she leave me for him?
55571It sounds ridiculous, does it not, for a man of my years to whimper about love like a silly schoolboy?
55571It''s a big word to describe a little thing, is n''t it?
55571It''s a great pity, is n''t it?
55571It''s like a sieve-- but, I say, had n''t we better wake up Mrs. Trubbles?
55571Live an isolated existence, pass days and nights of abject misery, only to pander to her self- righteous ideas?
55571Live the life of a hermit in order to right myself in her eyes and be called back and pardoned, as if I were indeed guilty?
55571Look again-- is he coming?"
55571Macjean?"
55571Macjean?"
55571Macjean?"
55571Major?"
55571Miss Sheldon has gone out?"
55571Miss Sheldon?"
55571Not on Sunday evening, I presume?"
55571Now which of them is right, the man or the woman?
55571Now, that ca n''t possibly be right, can it?"
55571Now, what is the Italian for''A Present from Como''?"
55571Of what was she thinking?
55571Oh, Eustace, you do n''t think that, do you?"
55571Oh, here;''Quanto, quanto?''"
55571One question only she asked Gartney before she entered:"Is that woman here?"
55571Oracle again mute, whereupon the exasperated worshipper queries more comprehensively:"Then what is she?"
55571Quanto?''"
55571Same man you went that Carpathian trip with?"
55571She was really behaving very well, but as for young Errington-- well, what could be expected now- a- days?
55571She''s surely not going to fight an enemy unworthy of her spear?
55571Some day we''ll meet-- But who can tell If this will be?"
55571Sounds like a champagne brand, does n''t it?
55571Still, if the gods endowed this statue with life-- What then?
55571Supposing he did induce Lady Errington to return his passion and leave England with him, what benefit would it bring to him or to her?
55571Teetotalism fudge?
55571Tell me when are we going to start?"
55571Thambits?"
55571Trubbles?"
55571Trubbles?"
55571Trubbles?"
55571Trubbles?"
55571Trubbles?"
55571Trubbles?"
55571Veilsturm''s?"
55571Veilsturm''s?"
55571Veilsturm?"
55571Veilsturm?"
55571Veilsturm?"
55571Veilsturm?"
55571Veilsturm?"
55571Veilsturm?"
55571Veilsturm?"
55571Veilsturm?"
55571Veilsturm?"
55571WHAT MADE THE BALL SAE FINE?
55571Was he not your companion then?"
55571Was it a fancy that a burning tear had fallen on her chill hand?
55571Was it fixed by Fate that he should be Lady Errington''s lover, and lose his honourable name for her sake?
55571Was it indeed Destiny that had interfered for the third time?
55571Was it worth the risk he was running, for a chimera, a fanciful creation of his own brain, a desire for a vision that might never be realised?
55571Was n''t that the young man you flirted with at Como, Victoria?"
55571Was that face, full of joyful relief and emotion, the marble countenance that had never smiled lovingly on him since he had first beheld it?
55571Was the prize not worth the winning?
55571Was there any faith or honesty in man?
55571Was there really a man in the world who could turn coldly away from her beauty when she smiled invitation?
55571Was this the pale, cold Undine he had last seen at Como, more ethereal than the visioned spirits of romance?
55571Was this the perfect, bloodless statue of whom Guy complained?
55571Well, did you love Mysie?"
55571Were her charms fading, that he had treated her so scornfully?
55571Were n''t you, Alizon?"
55571Were those eyes-- shining with love, wet with tears-- the cold blue eyes that had so often frozen all demonstrations of affection?
55571What Made the Ball sae Fine?
55571What Sir Guy Errington and Alizon Mostyn were two years before, they were about to become now-- would their future be the same?
55571What about Cantari?"
55571What about the theatre?"
55571What am I to do, Eustace?
55571What are those two boys fighting about?"
55571What built her up?
55571What can I do to punish her?
55571What can I do?"
55571What could I do?
55571What could be the reason of this sudden change from attention to neglect, from warmth to coldness?
55571What could she do in order to free herself from the companionship of this man who prized her less than he did his dissolute companions?
55571What do you mean by talking such nonsense to me?"
55571What do you mean?"
55571What do you say, Alizon?"
55571What does it mean?
55571What does this man say?--Bill something-- who is he talking to?"
55571What excuse is that to make?
55571What is the meaning of this change?"
55571What makes you think I''m not?
55571What man could come to a woman and say,"I am as pure in my life as you are"?
55571What more can a man desire?
55571What should that woman do in such a case?"
55571What time did Sir Guy say he would be here?"
55571What was the reason of this sudden change?
55571What wife could put up with such an insult?
55571What woman isn''t-- on occasions?"
55571When do you intend to begin the business?"
55571When will you look me up again?"
55571Where are you?"
55571Where is your cousin?"
55571Where''s the Italian?
55571Which?
55571Who can be accountable for such things?
55571Who could tell?
55571Who is he?
55571Who is he?"
55571Who was wrong-- the man who sought evil in despair, or the woman whose coldness and purity had denied him the mercy which would have saved him?
55571Why did n''t you drop him out of the window?"
55571Why did she marry him?"
55571Why did you throw away your cigarette?"
55571Why does n''t my father marry her himself if he''s so jolly anxious to get the property?
55571Why had she forgotten him?
55571Why not therefore try and lead a nobler and better life?
55571Why should the children of the king go mourning when the soothing weed is within reach?
55571Why should you treat me as if I were a block of marble?
55571Why then did she demand it from her husband?
55571Why was it built so large?"
55571Why?"
55571Will you be glad to see us?"
55571Will you come?"
55571Will you have a cigarette?"
55571Will you have a glass of sherry?"
55571Will you stay to dinner?"
55571Wo n''t she spend his thousands for him?
55571You do n''t mean to say you are in love with Victoria Sheldon still?"
55571You go to- morrow morning, do you not?"
55571You seem to take a great interest in the Erringtons?"
55571You wo n''t tell me anything?
55571You write poetry, do you not?"
55571and Don Quixote, blinded by fanatic chivalry, mistake the inns for mediæval castles?
55571and why are n''t they Dukes of Milan now?"
55571demanded Eustace hotly,"because I am his cousin?"
55571do you really?"
55571he asked, coming forward anxiously,"is anything wrong?"
55571he said anxiously,"or is it only the conventional society phrase?"
55571horrid, is n''t it?
55571how awful,"ejaculated Otterburn in a shocked tone;"what a terrible scene for that poor girl to witness-- and afterwards?"
55571how do you do, Thambits?"
55571interrupted Angus, sitting up quickly;"he surely did n''t kill the boy?"
55571is it so disagreeable?"
55571of her past sorrow, her present happiness, her doubtful future( for the future is doubtful with all humanity)--Who could tell?
55571said Eustace, removing his pipe,"is that lady still in the flesh?"
55571said Laxton, when the door closed on the pair,"what the deuce do you have such fools here for?"
55571said Miss Corbin sharply, when Dr. Pargowker had finished with her pulse,"what do you say?
55571say?"
55571she echoed scornfully, raising her eyes to his face,"what of that?
55571she echoed, rising to her feet,"and what is that but dishonour to me and to the child?"
55571what are we coming to?
55571what do you say, Minnie?
55571what good will that do?
55571what, my dear?"
55571what?
55571who told you so?"
55571why should n''t they?"
55571will she place her foot upon my neck, And hold me helpless, writhing in the dust?
55571would you sell your ancestors, like Charles Surface?"
55571you do n''t say so?"
55571you remember that?"
55571you surely do not want me to sit in solitary state over my wine?"
55571you understand?"
55571you wish me to speak plainer?"
55571you''re a Robinson Crusoe kind of chap, ai n''t you?"
