| 47643 | You are but ten weeks old to- morrow: What can_ you_ know of our loss? |
| 47643 | You would laugh or you would cry, perhaps both, to see us sit together looking at each other with long and rueful faces and saying''How do you do?'' |
| 47643 | _ Are you happy? |
| 47643 | and do you not repent going out?_ I wish I could see you for one hour only. |

| 47643 | or are you fallen in love with some of the amorous heroes of Boccaccio? |
| 47643 | or are you gone into a nunnery? |
| 47643 | or has any new thing come out against you? |

| 47643 | what shall I say next? |
| 47643 | what will your mother think of us? |
| 47643 | where is now that boasted valour flown, That in the tented field so late was shown? |
| 47643 | why is this so?) |
| 19085 | And Miss Craven? |
| 19085 | And had you no friends? |
| 19085 | And of course you did n''t believe it? |
| 19085 | And then--- what did Craven say? |
| 19085 | And what do you think that is? |
| 19085 | And who-- what-- can clear you? |
| 19085 | And''i m with the nastiest''eavy blue jaw you ever saw on a man,''adn''t''e, Miss Annett? |

| 19085 | But what do you get from it? |
| 19085 | Come up to the field with me, will you? 19085 Craven stopped you?" |
| 19085 | Craven, why have you been badgering the wretched Bunning? |
| 19085 | Did I? |
| 19085 | Did n''t you hear? 19085 Did you hear?" |

| 19085 | Druids? |
| 19085 | Goin''home for Christmas? |

| 19085 | Help you? |
| 19085 | How can you go alone if we are together? |
| 19085 | How could you have supposed that I would mind? 19085 How do?" |
| 19085 | How does it prove it? |
| 19085 | Hullo, Craven, is that you? |
| 19085 | I hope that Mrs. Craven is not seriously ill? 19085 I say, Dune, I hope I''m not disturbing you?" |
| 19085 | I say, Dune, what do you say to a little drink in my room after all that muck? |
| 19085 | I say, why do n''t you dress properly? |
| 19085 | I''ll come, if you wo n''t mind sitting down and smoking for a quarter of an hour, while I finish this-- have a drink, will you? |
| 19085 | I? |
| 19085 | If you did not know, why did I feel that you understood and sympathized? 19085 Know?" |
| 19085 | My God, have you heard? |
| 19085 | My dear Craven-- what an odd question-- why do you want to know? |
| 19085 | Nervous of people? |
| 19085 | No one? |
| 19085 | No, I wo n''t sit-- what do you want? |
| 19085 | No-- thanks-- I----"In what way can I be of use to you? |
| 19085 | Now? |
| 19085 | Refuses? |
| 19085 | Rupert? |
| 19085 | Say to him? 19085 See you in Hall?" |
| 19085 | Since when has she had this idea? |
| 19085 | That was yesterday morning? |
| 19085 | That_ you_ did it? |
| 19085 | Then you believe in God? |
| 19085 | Well, have you seen Craven again? |
| 19085 | Well, what is it? |
| 19085 | Well, what_ is_ the soul, anyway? |
| 19085 | Well? |
| 19085 | What about? |
| 19085 | What are you frightened about? |
| 19085 | What did I say? |
| 19085 | What did I say? |
| 19085 | What did he say? |
| 19085 | What did he say? |
| 19085 | What have you got to do with Bunning? |
| 19085 | What have you lost? |
| 19085 | What is it? 19085 What should I have to tell you?" |
| 19085 | What sort of fancies? |
| 19085 | What will God do with me? |
| 19085 | What will she do? |
| 19085 | What will you tell her? |
| 19085 | Where are we going? |
| 19085 | Where did you find it? |
| 19085 | Where do_ you_ think he is, Craven? |
| 19085 | Who is for the Lord? 19085 Who''s that? |
| 19085 | Why did you stop them coming? |
| 19085 | Why do you come here? 19085 Why do you never come and see me now?" |
| 19085 | Why is a fellow ever out of condition? 19085 Why''s that? |
| 19085 | Why? 19085 Why? |
| 19085 | Why? |
| 19085 | Will those who wish to be saved stand up? |
| 19085 | Wo n''t you sit down? |
| 19085 | Worried? |
| 19085 | Yes, but what do they_ make_ of it all? |
| 19085 | Yes? |
| 19085 | Yes? |
| 19085 | You can tell nothing? |
| 19085 | You have no suspicion? |
| 19085 | You know Bunning, Lawrence? |
| 19085 | You refuse? |
| 19085 | You remember the day that you came last? 19085 You think there''s a God?" |
| 19085 | You told him? |
| 19085 | You told him? |
| 19085 | You will come back? |
| 19085 | You''ll come? |
| 19085 | You''ll come? |
| 19085 | You''re going away? |
| 19085 | You''re in trouble? 19085 _ Was_ to have been? |
| 19085 | ?" |
| 19085 | After all, I''m part of you now, are n''t I? |
| 19085 | Afterwards what matter? |
| 19085 | And now Craven_ had_ been unusual--"Where''s Carfax?" |
| 19085 | And what, above all, had happened to him? |
| 19085 | And why have you told him anything?" |
| 19085 | Another day? |
| 19085 | Another hour? |
| 19085 | Are n''t you going to be one now?" |
| 19085 | Are_ you_ sleeping badly?" |
| 19085 | As he faced Bunning''s staring glasses, the thought came to Him,"Am I going mad?--Has it been too much for me?---Mad?" |
| 19085 | As he finished it, he wondered, Would this be sent? |
| 19085 | At last the voice again--"Will those who are sure that they are saved stand up?" |
| 19085 | At this moment Craven suddenly burst in with"Where''s Carfax?" |
| 19085 | Baccy? |
| 19085 | Born yesterday? |
| 19085 | Bunning''s voice came to him from a great distance---"What are you going to do? |
| 19085 | But first may I go up to your mother for a moment?" |
| 19085 | But if Cardillac knew him for a felon, knew that he might be hanged in the dark and flung into a nameless grave, what then? |
| 19085 | But tell me, Rupert spoke to you last night?" |
| 19085 | But what had happened to Dune? |
| 19085 | Carfax?" |
| 19085 | Come on, Bunning, what have you been up to?" |
| 19085 | Comfortable now, Dune? |
| 19085 | Did Olva care? |
| 19085 | Did he feel sure enough to speak to Margaret? |
| 19085 | Did he tell you why he had, during these weeks, been so strange and unhappy?" |
| 19085 | Do n''t you see that I ca n''t confess? |
| 19085 | Do you hear me?" |
| 19085 | Do you know that she liked you immensely the other even big? |
| 19085 | Do you remember that afternoon when you had tea with me here and I went to sleep? |
| 19085 | Do you think that a woman, if she loves a man, cares for anything that he may do? |
| 19085 | Do you understand? |
| 19085 | Dune, perhaps, go up and see Mrs. Craven? |
| 19085 | Erdington''s going to read to us about the Huns and stand a fire of questions afterwards, are n''t you, Erdington?" |
| 19085 | Feel like playing a game to- day?" |
| 19085 | Got all you want? |
| 19085 | Had a man ever been so alone? |
| 19085 | Have you ever heard of any one killing a man with one blow-- except a prize- fighter?" |
| 19085 | Have you no horror of me now?" |
| 19085 | He asked me whether I realized what I was saying, whether I saw what I was in for? |
| 19085 | He had just said absently, not looking at me,''You like Dune, do n''t you?'' |
| 19085 | He had surrendered? |
| 19085 | He had told Bunning in a moment of uncontrol-- what might he not do now at any time? |
| 19085 | He said:''You were with Dune, were n''t you?'' |
| 19085 | His spectacles were there, his boots were there, but was Bunning there? |
| 19085 | How could I? |
| 19085 | How could he possibly have been of any use to her? |
| 19085 | How much did Rupert Craven know? |
| 19085 | How much had Bunker seen? |
| 19085 | How much had he understood? |
| 19085 | How much-- and here was the one tremendous question-- had he told his sister? |
| 19085 | How was this kind of animal, with its cowardice, its stupidity, its ugliness, its uselessness, possible? |
| 19085 | How would Margaret receive him? |
| 19085 | I say, do you know what''s happened to Carfax?" |
| 19085 | I should never have come if---""Yes?" |
| 19085 | If Cardillac knew what Rupert Craven almost knew, would not his horror be the same? |
| 19085 | In his heart he was crying,"How long can I stand this? |
| 19085 | In which direction was it going to develop? |
| 19085 | Is he here?" |
| 19085 | Is it fair to me? |
| 19085 | Is it true, as they say, that you''ve been sitting at the feet of our dearly beloved Gregg? |
| 19085 | Is not that so?" |
| 19085 | It was you, you made me feel like that---""I?" |
| 19085 | Just out for a long walk-- do you mind my taking Bunker? |
| 19085 | Madden, the Service Tutor, flung his shrill treble voice above the general hubbub--"But, my dear Ross, if you had only observed---""Where is Carfax?" |
| 19085 | Might he not, perhaps, be shown to- night some clue to the presence of that Power that had spoken to him in the wood? |
| 19085 | Might not this idiot of a Bunning have been shown the way to the mystery? |
| 19085 | Moreover, might there not be something behind this business? |
| 19085 | Moreover, why should not Olva go? |
| 19085 | Mrs. Craven from her great knowledge, Rupert from his great weariness, Margaret from her great love? |
| 19085 | No-- why?" |
| 19085 | Now, just as he had tasted human companionship and loved it, must he die? |
| 19085 | Olva seemed to catch the words--"Why should it be I? |
| 19085 | Or had they, each of them, their especial reason for excusing it? |
| 19085 | Overwork?" |
| 19085 | Poor, poor Rupert, I would do anything for him, for them both, but I am so utterly, utterly useless, What can I do?" |
| 19085 | Some dirty fellow from behind a hedge? |
| 19085 | Soon he heard Lawrence''s tremendous laugh--"Where''s Dune? |
| 19085 | Supposing that some wretched tramp were arrested and accused? |
| 19085 | That complicates things, does n''t it? |
| 19085 | That relationship with his father bad been, until this term, the only emotion in his life-- and now? |
| 19085 | The Gods are dead-- but God? |
| 19085 | Then Olva remembered his dog-- where was he? |
| 19085 | Then he began to ask me questions, not actually about anything, but odd questions like, Where was I born? |
| 19085 | Then he was defeated at last? |
| 19085 | Then she whispered,"How did you know?" |
| 19085 | Through all the tangled confusion of his thoughts, through the fear and courage there ran this note- where was God? |
| 19085 | Was it fancy, or did the dog crouch, the tiniest impulse, away from him as he bent to pat him? |
| 19085 | Was it his own voice? |
| 19085 | Was not that his own perpetual cry? |
| 19085 | Were these his own words? |
| 19085 | What Cardillac really said was---"Have a cigarette? |
| 19085 | What are you going to say to Craven?" |
| 19085 | What could have made him tell the fellow? |
| 19085 | What did Mrs. Craven know? |
| 19085 | What did he say?" |
| 19085 | What did it matter? |
| 19085 | What did the dog remember? |
| 19085 | What do they want gettin''a piffler like that kid in the glasses to read his ideas? |
| 19085 | What else did he ask you?" |
| 19085 | What else?" |
| 19085 | What had Craven meant when he said that Bunker had found the matchbox? |
| 19085 | What had he done? |
| 19085 | What have you got to tell me?" |
| 19085 | What have you told Craven? |
| 19085 | What is it? |
| 19085 | What madness? |
| 19085 | What makes you say that?" |
| 19085 | What of all your theories now?" |
| 19085 | What rag?" |
| 19085 | What was it that was now so strangely moving him? |
| 19085 | What will you do, Craven, if it does n''t matter to her-- if she does n''t care whether I killed Carfax or no?" |
| 19085 | What wo n''t you tell me? |
| 19085 | What would he hear? |
| 19085 | What would she say, what would she do if she were told? |
| 19085 | What''s the matter? |
| 19085 | What''s the matter?" |
| 19085 | What, moreover, was happening in the house in Rocket Road? |
| 19085 | What---? |
| 19085 | Where was the terror that followed, as he had so often heard, upon murder? |
| 19085 | Where were the police? |
| 19085 | Where were you on the afternoon that Carfax was murdered?" |
| 19085 | Where''s he been?" |
| 19085 | Where''s its soul? |
| 19085 | Where?" |
| 19085 | Who are your people?" |
| 19085 | Who is for the Lord?" |
| 19085 | Who was Carfax that the slaying of him should be so unforgettable a sin? |
| 19085 | Why could n''t they come? |
| 19085 | Why do n''t you play football?" |
| 19085 | Why has n''t any one ever told you?" |
| 19085 | Why not, even at this last moment, in spite of yesterday, defy God and stay with her and keep her? |
| 19085 | Why should he be thus tormented? |
| 19085 | Why should it be I?" |
| 19085 | Why was he so assured of that? |
| 19085 | Why was it that he felt no fear? |
| 19085 | Why was it that the dominant feeling in him should be that at last he had justified his existence? |
| 19085 | Why?" |
| 19085 | Will you be patient with me and let me put things as clearly as I can-- as_ I_ see them?" |
| 19085 | Will you play against St. Martin''s to- morrow? |
| 19085 | Will you tell me what it is?" |
| 19085 | With a great effort he spoke:"Have you told Rupert?" |
| 19085 | Would the lights never come, those sullen streets and at last the grateful, welcome crowds? |
| 19085 | Would there be in her eyes that shadow of distrust that he always saw now in Rupert''s? |
| 19085 | Would they come for him? |
| 19085 | Would they not come to Christ and ask His help? |
| 19085 | Would you go along that way in the dark, Miss Annett?" |
| 19085 | You do n''t mind my telling you, do you?" |
| 19085 | You''re coming in to- night, are n''t you? |
| 19085 | You''re overdone, are n''t you? |
| 19085 | and Why did I read the Bible? |
| 19085 | and then, after many speeches:"How does this point of view strike you, Erdington?" |
| 19085 | and-- does it think about it, that''s what I want to know? |
| 19085 | if you''ll keep hold of yourself-- do you understand? |
| 19085 | or was it only his rebellion against God that had so made it? |
| 2276 | ''What is it, my dear?'' 2276 A vision?" |
| 2276 | An'', pray now, fa was it, that gae you siccan a braw commission? |
| 2276 | An''fat the better wad you be for the kenning o''this, man? |
| 2276 | And did not he seem to know us, Mrs. Calvert? 2276 And how long does your Christian reverence suppose you have remained in this place since the late laird''s death?" |
| 2276 | And what security have I for that? |
| 2276 | And where is my mother? |
| 2276 | And where is my noble friend and companion? |
| 2276 | And, if I fall,said he,"you will not fail to avenge my death?" |
| 2276 | And, pray, where has she been all this while? |
| 2276 | And, when you went home, what did you find? |
| 2276 | And, why? |
| 2276 | Are you ashamed of your parents that you refuse to give your real name? |
| 2276 | Are you one, Sir? |
| 2276 | Are you thankful in heart, John, for such temporal mercies as these? |
| 2276 | Aye, and who has been the cause of all this? |
| 2276 | Aye, aye, maister,said he;"an''pray what div ye ca''this bit windlestrae that''s appearing here?" |
| 2276 | But am I sure that ye''re no as bad, an''waur? 2276 But did you ever say to anyone that he resembled me, and fathered himself well enough?" |
| 2276 | But may we not wait for years before we find an opportunity? 2276 But then the penalties?" |
| 2276 | But this is not all: you must tell me for what purpose you sought me out here this morning? |
| 2276 | But why not Colwan, there being so little difference in the sound? |
| 2276 | Can you swear you never saw them before? |
| 2276 | Could you know the man in black, if you saw him again? |
| 2276 | Could you not swear that gown was your mistress''s once? |
| 2276 | Dalcastle drew his sword, without changing his attitude; but he spoke with more warmth, for we heard his words,''Think you that I fear you, Tom? 2276 Did you attend to his corpse, and know that he positively died and was buried?" |
| 2276 | Did you ever see this gown before, think you? |
| 2276 | Did you not say that there was some mode of accommodating matters on that score? |
| 2276 | Did you note the appearance of the young gentleman you saw slain that night? 2276 Do you know, Sir?" |
| 2276 | Do you not know me? |
| 2276 | Do you not perceive what mighty powers of mind he is possessed of? |
| 2276 | Do you remember aught else that your mistress said on the occasion? 2276 Do you see anything the matter with me?" |
| 2276 | Do you think the gaining of you to my service is not an attainment worthy of being envied by the greatest potentate in Christendom? 2276 Fat the deil are ye yoolling an''praying that gate for, man?" |
| 2276 | For what purpose was it then? |
| 2276 | Hae ye naebody nearer- hand hame to mak your appeal to, man? |
| 2276 | Has the partner whom you bound me to kept hers inviolate? 2276 Have you no name but Gil? |
| 2276 | Have you seen anything out of the ordinary course of nature? |
| 2276 | He? 2276 How has he been engaged in the interim?" |
| 2276 | How is this interested and mysterious foreigner a proper judge of the actions of a free Christian? |
| 2276 | How long is it since Mrs. Calvert and you became acquainted? |
| 2276 | How should I, when no one repeats it to me? |
| 2276 | How then does he know me? |
| 2276 | I hope there is nothing personal under that remark, John? |
| 2276 | I mean, what passed between your mistress and you on the occasion? |
| 2276 | I think you should know me, Sir? |
| 2276 | In the name of God, what book is that? |
| 2276 | Ineffectual Calling? 2276 Is it a Bible?" |
| 2276 | Is there any law or enactment that can compel me to do so? |
| 2276 | Is this all the gratitude that you deign for an attachment of which the annals of the world furnish no parallel? 2276 It is who?" |
| 2276 | Leave you to yourself? 2276 Might we not rather pop him off in private and quietness, as we did the deistical divine?" |
| 2276 | My dear son, what is the matter with you? |
| 2276 | Now, gallant and rightful Laird of Dalcastle,said Mrs. Logan,"what hast thou to say for thyself? |
| 2276 | Now, madam,added I,"my question to you is: What is Ineffectual Calling?" |
| 2276 | Oh dear, mem, how can I ken? 2276 Pray what do you here? |
| 2276 | Rabina, where are you? 2276 Sir,"said I,"how comes it that you have robbed me of my clothes, and put these down in their place over night?" |
| 2276 | So early as that? 2276 So, then, John, you positively think, from a casual likeness, that this boy is my son?" |
| 2276 | So, then, you indeed knew that I was here? |
| 2276 | Sure you will? |
| 2276 | Surely you are not such a fool,said I,"as to believe that the Devil really was in the printing office?" |
| 2276 | Tell me then, Sir,said George, resolved to make the most of the wretch''s terror--"tell me for what purpose it is that you haunt my steps? |
| 2276 | Then why do you not at once challenge your brother to the field of honour? 2276 Then will you be so kind as to come to the Grass Market and see me put down?" |
| 2276 | Then, Satan, I fear, has been busy with you, tempting you in no ordinary degree at this momentous crisis of your life? |
| 2276 | Thou hast done well for once; but wherefore hesitate in such a cause? 2276 Was I at hame, say ye? |
| 2276 | Was he here present with you to- day? |
| 2276 | Was it by appointment that you met? |
| 2276 | Was it that wench who descended from the hill? |
| 2276 | Well, John, and what sort of general character do you suppose mine to be? |
| 2276 | What ails Drummond? |
| 2276 | What ails you, Robert? |
| 2276 | What dark hints are these you are throwing out? 2276 What do you mean, Sir?" |
| 2276 | What do you mean, you knave? |
| 2276 | What fiend has brought thee here, and for what purpose art thou come? 2276 What found we? |
| 2276 | What hath detained thee, thou desponding trifler? |
| 2276 | What is all this for? |
| 2276 | What is it, Sir? |
| 2276 | What passed, say ye? 2276 What reasons have you for doubting it?" |
| 2276 | What the devil is the matter? |
| 2276 | What time of the morning? |
| 2276 | What was that cause?--No answer?--You do n''t choose to say what that cause was? |
| 2276 | Whaten vile sounds are these that I hear coming bumming up the hill? |
| 2276 | Where is he? 2276 Where is he? |
| 2276 | Where then is he now? |
| 2276 | Where was I, say you? 2276 Where were you that morning?" |
| 2276 | Wherefore lackest thou it? |
| 2276 | Who has he quarrelled with? |
| 2276 | Who is that fat bouncing dame that visits the laird so often, and always by herself? |
| 2276 | Whom did she mean by the Ringans, do you know? |
| 2276 | Whom do you mean, mistress? |
| 2276 | Will not you accompany me? |
| 2276 | Would such a thing be expedient, think you? 2276 ''Bless ye, jaud, what''s the meaning o''this?'' 2276 ''Is young Dalcastle still in the house?'' 2276 --I bowed with great humility, but at the same time how could I but feel proud and highly flattered? 2276 An'', what think ye they said, sir? 2276 An''wha''s to blame? 2276 And he then asked me sullenly, if I conceived such personages as he to have no other endowments than common mortals? 2276 And how is it, how can it be, that we again see him here, walking arm in arm with his murderer? |
| 2276 | And how there was even a possibility that I could have accomplished such villainies?" |
| 2276 | And is not this ineffectual Calling? |
| 2276 | And then, turning lightly about, he added:"Are there to be no more of these d--- d fine blows, gentlemen? |
| 2276 | And will any tell me that this is not Ineffectual Calling?" |
| 2276 | And, moreover, do you not acknowledge that God hath pre- ordained and decreed whatsoever comes to pass? |
| 2276 | And, now that you have taken up the Lord''s cause of being avenged on His enemies, wherefore spare those that are your own as well as His? |
| 2276 | Are ye gaun to take the calm o''the stamock again?" |
| 2276 | Are you fawn inna little hell, instead o''the big muckil ane? |
| 2276 | At length, I asked if he would take any refreshment? |
| 2276 | At what place did you meet then?" |
| 2276 | Bad business yon of Walker''s? |
| 2276 | Been? |
| 2276 | But how came it that you could never be found? |
| 2276 | But how do you think he answered me? |
| 2276 | But tell me, dear friend, did you remark to what the subtile and hellish villain was endeavouring to prompt the assassin?" |
| 2276 | But what crimes? |
| 2276 | But what matters it whether it be or not? |
| 2276 | But where shall we find that disgraceful Miss Logan?" |
| 2276 | But whom am I speaking to? |
| 2276 | But why should I wonder at such abandoned notions and principles? |
| 2276 | But will you then consent to the other meritorious deed? |
| 2276 | But you will pray to God to forgive me? |
| 2276 | But, pray, how do you come to know this?" |
| 2276 | But, then, where had I the means, or under what direction was I to begin? |
| 2276 | But, would you believe it? |
| 2276 | But,''od saif us, sir, do you ken what the auld wives o''the clachan say about you?" |
| 2276 | Can there be any doubt that it is the duty of one consecrated to God to cut off such a mildew?" |
| 2276 | Can you deny that you have already been in this place four months and seven days? |
| 2276 | Cowan?" |
| 2276 | Did you ever say to anyone that I was the boy Robert''s natural father?" |
| 2276 | Did you ever see these silver spoons before?" |
| 2276 | Did you hear her blame any person?" |
| 2276 | Do you consider how short a time I have been in this place? |
| 2276 | Do you credit me?" |
| 2276 | Do you now and here pledge yourself to one who has so often saved your life and has put his own at stake to do so? |
| 2276 | Do you pledge yourself that you will henceforth be guided by my counsel, and follow me whithersoever I choose to lead?" |
| 2276 | Do you recollect aught of the appearance of my young master, George Colwan?" |
| 2276 | Do you wish your account? |
| 2276 | END OF THE MEMOIR WHAT can this work be? |
| 2276 | Eh? |
| 2276 | Gude sauf us, ir ye a gentleman''s brood, that ye will kick an''cuff a lad when he''s down?" |
| 2276 | Had not you and I some sweet communion and fellowship yesterday?" |
| 2276 | Has not Ardinferry the same? |
| 2276 | Has not Patrick M''Lure the same? |
| 2276 | Has not the Laird of Dalcastle and his reprobate heir the same? |
| 2276 | Hath he not made one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour, as in the case with myself and thee? |
| 2276 | Have not all these the same calls, warnings, doctrines, and reproofs, that we have? |
| 2276 | Have you met with any accident?" |
| 2276 | Have you not heard the name of Bell Calvert coupled with that hideous and mysterious affair?" |
| 2276 | He answered that he did so: aye, what would signify all things else that he believed, if he did not believe in that? |
| 2276 | How came it that you never appeared in defence of the Honourable Thomas Drummond; you, the only person who could have justified him?" |
| 2276 | How could I doubt, after this, that the hand of Heaven was aiding and abetting me? |
| 2276 | How dare you lift your eyes to Heaven with such purposes in your heart? |
| 2276 | How much that time has been occupied? |
| 2276 | I ask you, Sir, before God and this witness, I ask you, have you kept solemnly and inviolate the vows which I laid upon you that day? |
| 2276 | I asked if he believed in the eternal and irrevocable decrees of God, regarding the salvation and condemnation of all mankind? |
| 2276 | I asked, with great simplicity:"Are all your subjects Christians, prince?" |
| 2276 | I blessed myself, and asked whom it was his pleasure to personify to- night? |
| 2276 | I dispute not that your motives are great and high; but have you debated the consequences, and settled the result?" |
| 2276 | I hope you have brought me tidings of comfort?" |
| 2276 | I walked aside to my friend, who stood at a distance looking on, and he said to me:"What thinkest thou now?" |
| 2276 | I who must soon stand before my last earthly one? |
| 2276 | If these deceive us, what are we to do? |
| 2276 | Is John a good man, father?" |
| 2276 | Is it not consistent with every precept of the Gospel? |
| 2276 | Is it not the young laird who was murdered whom you resemble so much?" |
| 2276 | Is there not enough of merit in the blood of Jesus to save thousands of worlds, if it was for these worlds that he died? |
| 2276 | Is this the crazy minister''s son from Glasgow?" |
| 2276 | It was this:"What if I should fail in my first effort? |
| 2276 | Lord help your crazed head, is this a night for prayers?" |
| 2276 | Mrs. Calvert, where is he?" |
| 2276 | Mrs. Logan heard not this jeer, but, looking at the prisoner with an absent and stupid stare, she said:"Did you know my late master?" |
| 2276 | My companion also exulted, and said:"Did not I tell thee? |
| 2276 | Not Colwan, I hope?" |
| 2276 | Old Dal asked why he did not kick the dog out of his presence whenever he felt him disagreeable? |
| 2276 | Or consistent with the glory of God? |
| 2276 | Or that in that time you have been forbid my house twenty times? |
| 2276 | Or that you have attained them? |
| 2276 | Or that you have persevered in your endeavours to effect the basest and most ungenerous of purposes? |
| 2276 | Or what are you pleased to laugh at? |
| 2276 | Or which of your names is it? |
| 2276 | Or, if it could, where is the judge that could enforce it?" |
| 2276 | Pray will you take a few days''journey into the country with me, to look at such a man?" |
| 2276 | Pray, Sir, did you ever do a good job for anyone to counterbalance that? |
| 2276 | Pray, is not this a day for holy festivity with you?" |
| 2276 | Pray, what did she say? |
| 2276 | Purdie, I say is it you?" |
| 2276 | Seeing you now act without danger, can not you also act without fear?" |
| 2276 | Sure, you will say, it must be an allegory; or( as the writer calls it) a religious PARABLE, showing the dreadful danger of self- righteousness? |
| 2276 | Surely it must have been no common reverse of fortune that reduced you to this?'' |
| 2276 | Surely ye haena forgotten that Andrew Handyside has been in his grave these six months?" |
| 2276 | Tell me precisely and distinctly what you know of my mother?" |
| 2276 | Tell me this, boy: did this stranger, with whom you met, adhere to the religious principles in which I have educated you?" |
| 2276 | Tell me this, has he overcome you, or has he not?" |
| 2276 | Tell me, dare you say, or dare you think, that I am the natural father of that boy?" |
| 2276 | The lad who was sitting up in his bed, intent on the watch, called out:"Wha''s that there? |
| 2276 | The man''s breath cut short, and he looked at me without returning any answer.--"I ask you where my mother is?" |
| 2276 | The weaver came half naked, unlocked the door, and, setting in his head and long neck, accosted me thus:"What now, Mr. Satan? |
| 2276 | Then, how is it that you should deem it in your power to eschew one action of your life, whether good or evil? |
| 2276 | There''s nae body here wishes you ony ill. D''ye hear me?" |
| 2276 | Thou shudderest at my approach now, dost thou?" |
| 2276 | To what would I be reconciled?" |
| 2276 | Walker, is that you? |
| 2276 | Well, which of the Scripture characters do you think approximates nearest to my own?" |
| 2276 | What can be i''the house? |
| 2276 | What can it be?" |
| 2276 | What care I for your threatenings of a tribunal? |
| 2276 | What could our heroes do? |
| 2276 | What could the word of such a culprit avail? |
| 2276 | What do you mean? |
| 2276 | What for art ye roaring that gate? |
| 2276 | What for have ye abscondit yoursel into ma leddy''s wab for?" |
| 2276 | What for ir ye persecutin''a servant o''the Lord''s that gate, an''pitting the life out o''him wi''his head down an''his heels up?" |
| 2276 | What have I done for evil, or what have I not done for your good; that you would thus shun my presence?" |
| 2276 | What is the life of a man more than the life of a lamb, or any guiltless animal? |
| 2276 | What is the matter here?" |
| 2276 | What made ye gang howkin in there to be a poor man''s ruin? |
| 2276 | What misdemeanours and transgressions do you talk about? |
| 2276 | What''s become of you, my dear?" |
| 2276 | What, suppose we should rest a day here before we proceed farther on our journey?" |
| 2276 | When shall our great work of cleansing the sanctuary be finished, if we proceed at this puny rate?" |
| 2276 | Where art thou now? |
| 2276 | Where is he? |
| 2276 | Wherein have I offended? |
| 2276 | Whether are the bonds of carnal nature or the bonds and vows of the Lord strongest?" |
| 2276 | Who are you, sir?'' |
| 2276 | Who can doubt, from this statement, that I was bewitched, and that my relatives were at the ground of it? |
| 2276 | Who could doubt, after this, that he was the Czar of Russia? |
| 2276 | Who do you think the young man was who walked in his company to- night?" |
| 2276 | Who is he that causeth the mole, from his secret path of darkness, to throw up the gem, the gold, and the precious ore? |
| 2276 | Who is he? |
| 2276 | Who is he? |
| 2276 | Who the devil is murdering you, or offering to murder you?" |
| 2276 | Who was that friend?" |
| 2276 | Who would not envy the liberty wherewith we are made free? |
| 2276 | Whose word, or whose reasoning can convince us against our own senses? |
| 2276 | Why did he not raise the alarm, and call the watch?" |
| 2276 | Why did the man not pursue the foul murderers? |
| 2276 | Why hast Thou set me as a butt of Thy malice? |
| 2276 | Why then art Thou laying Thy hand so sore upon me? |
| 2276 | Will it please you to be gone, sir?'' |
| 2276 | Will that suffice you? |
| 2276 | Will the consequence not be that I am tumbled from the top of the rock myself?" |
| 2276 | Will you forgive me before we part?" |
| 2276 | Will you take an oath to this effect?" |
| 2276 | Wo n''t you be going? |
| 2276 | Would he pretend that all that was likewise by chance? |
| 2276 | Wouldest thou lay thine hand on the Lord''s anointed, or shed his precious blood? |
| 2276 | Yet, if it is not he, who can it be?" |
| 2276 | You already know my natural character?" |
| 2276 | You do not deny your own hand?" |
| 2276 | You have a father and a brother according to the flesh: what do you know of them?" |
| 2276 | You who are able to recollect things as they happened, did he not seem to recollect us, and make signs to that effect?" |
| 2276 | You will at all events accompany me, and see that I get justice?" |
| 2276 | Your Christian or surname?" |
| 2276 | and so you are Bell Calvert? |
| 2276 | do you expect it in the difficult and exterminating career which you have begun? |
| 2276 | knowest thou what thou art attempting? |
| 2276 | quo she,''is that a''that ye ken about the wiles and doings o''the Prince o''the Air, that rules an''works in the bairns of disobedience? |
| 2276 | said I,"and also how clear and unhesitating he is on some of the most interesting points of divinity?" |
| 2276 | said he;"what do you mean by roaring out murder in that way? |
| 2276 | thae claes? |
| 11323 | A writ? 11323 And can you imagine, that the most upright conduct is always superior to the danger of ambiguity?" |
| 11323 | And do they take off them there things of nights? |
| 11323 | And do you refuse, sir, to attend to the particulars of the charge I allege? |
| 11323 | And how dared you read it? 11323 And if he were, what then? |
| 11323 | And pray, sir, what is your sorrow to me? |
| 11323 | And pray, sir, who is this Mr. Falkland? 11323 And so the little dear thought itself cunning enough to outwit me, did it? |
| 11323 | And this is your decision, is it? 11323 And what benefit will result from this conviction? |
| 11323 | And what signifies being tried, when they do worse than hang a man, and all beforehand? 11323 And you still persist in your hard thoughts of me?" |
| 11323 | Are you contented to go now? |
| 11323 | Barnes!--What do you mean? 11323 But how will you help yourself? |
| 11323 | Can you believe then that ignorance is the only, or the safest, preservative of integrity? |
| 11323 | Can you stand? |
| 11323 | Clitus,said I,"was a man of very coarse and provoking manners, was he not?" |
| 11323 | Did you immediately examine to see that every thing was safe? |
| 11323 | Did you say nothing to him-- take no notice of the confusion your sudden appearance produced? |
| 11323 | Died? 11323 Died?" |
| 11323 | Do not you believe me? 11323 Do you know what it is you have done? |
| 11323 | Do you know, cousin, I wish I could wake, and find that the last month-- only about a month-- was a dream? |
| 11323 | Do you think so? 11323 Forgot? |
| 11323 | Here? 11323 Here? |
| 11323 | Ho!--Well, sir: and what have you further to offer? |
| 11323 | How came it? 11323 How came this conversation?" |
| 11323 | How do you do, my dear? |
| 11323 | How is it,said Mr. Collins, gravely,"that you have been reduced to this forlorn condition? |
| 11323 | How long was it before you missed your property? |
| 11323 | How would a man of true discernment in such a case reply to his brutal assailant? 11323 I say, sir? |
| 11323 | If she be dead, what is that to me? 11323 In other words, you were his servant?" |
| 11323 | In that case,retorted the senior magistrate abruptly,"what can you have to disclose? |
| 11323 | Is this the end of genius, virtue, and excellence? 11323 Is this,"said I,"the fruit of conscious guilt, or of the disgust that a man of honour conceives at guilt undeservedly imputed?" |
| 11323 | Murderer?--Did I employ knives or pistols? 11323 Nay, I am sure, sir-- you are not in earnest?" |
| 11323 | Now, have not I done it nicely? 11323 Of what, sir!--Do you threaten me? |
| 11323 | Oh, ho, you are a gentleman, are you? 11323 Orders? |
| 11323 | Pooh, what signifies what I am? 11323 Shall I trample upon a man thus dreadfully reduced? |
| 11323 | That is what you say? 11323 Well, Williams, and could you find no reasons there?" |
| 11323 | Well, and what then? 11323 Well, my good Thomas,"said I, in a querulous tone, and with a hesitating manner,"am I not a most miserable creature?" |
| 11323 | Well, sir, what is your reply to this challenge of your servant? |
| 11323 | Well, sir: I found a letter written by that Hawkins the other day; did not that letter fall into your hands? 11323 Were you so stupid and undistinguishing as not to know that the preservation of your life was the uniform object of my exertions? |
| 11323 | What circumstances have occurred from that time to the present? |
| 11323 | What do you mean by that? |
| 11323 | What is in the wind now? 11323 What is it that you require of me? |
| 11323 | What justice? 11323 What noise is that? |
| 11323 | What provocation could induce you to so cruel a treatment? |
| 11323 | What steps did you take upon this discovery? |
| 11323 | What the devil can have made you so forward, if you had not some sly purpose to answer, by which I am to be overreached? |
| 11323 | What, did you use him thus, without so much as being irritated by any resistance on his part? |
| 11323 | What,replied Mr. Forester,"are the grounds of your suspicion?" |
| 11323 | Where is my child? |
| 11323 | Where is the man that has suffered more from the injustice of society than I have done? 11323 Where would you take her? |
| 11323 | Who are you? |
| 11323 | Who gave you a right to be my confidant? 11323 Who? |
| 11323 | Why do you come in here? 11323 Why do you hold me? |
| 11323 | Why is it that I am compelled to this confidence? 11323 Why not, Thomas? |
| 11323 | Why should you subject me to an eternal penance? 11323 Why, sir, was not your grandpapa my grandpapa? |
| 11323 | Why, you would not tear her from her bed? 11323 Why,"upon such occasions I was accustomed to exclaim,"why am I overwhelmed with the load of existence? |
| 11323 | Will you come with me, and convince your eyes? 11323 Will you hear my justification? |
| 11323 | Yes, sir, I do.--But, if I did not, pray what witnesses have you of the murder? |
| 11323 | You began in confidence; why did you not continue in confidence? 11323 You want to leave me, do you? |
| 11323 | --"How so?" |
| 11323 | After all, was it not vice in me to desire to involve another man in my sufferings? |
| 11323 | Am I not compelled to go on in folly, having once begun?" |
| 11323 | Am I then, thus miserable and ruined, a proper subject upon which for you to exercise your ingenuity, and improve your power of tormenting? |
| 11323 | Am I to answer for every thing that goes wrong in the world?--What do you come here for? |
| 11323 | And again, whether, if I had been conscious they would he found among my property, I should myself have indicated the place where I had concealed it? |
| 11323 | And by whom was she now torn from his indignation? |
| 11323 | And do you expect that mankind will ever forget, or forgive such a deed? |
| 11323 | And do you think that you shall wound it? |
| 11323 | And for what? |
| 11323 | And how much had he to struggle with in this respect, in the unapprehending obstinacy of some of his Macedonians?" |
| 11323 | And if by others, why not by me? |
| 11323 | And is this the way to bring me to your purpose? |
| 11323 | And so you can scold, can you? |
| 11323 | And so, do you see? |
| 11323 | And upon his death- bed too? |
| 11323 | And were you fool enough to believe that any obstinacy, however determined, could enable you to despise the keen rebuke of justice? |
| 11323 | And who are you? |
| 11323 | And yet what was my fault? |
| 11323 | And yet what was the meaning of all Mr. Falkland''s agonies and terrors? |
| 11323 | And, if it were, what security had I against the injustice of a man, vigilant, capricious, and criminal? |
| 11323 | And, in a concern that is so completely my own, shall my will go for nothing? |
| 11323 | And, when I had done all, what had I done? |
| 11323 | Answer me, Gines, were you the cause of this young man being left naked and wounded this bitter morning upon the forest?" |
| 11323 | Are learning, sensibility, and taste, no securities to exempt their possessor from this vulgar abuse? |
| 11323 | Are my passions to be wound and unwound by an insolent domestic? |
| 11323 | Are not you always hankering after the men? |
| 11323 | Are not you continually singing the praises of Falkland? |
| 11323 | Are not you in love with Falkland? |
| 11323 | Are you clear that this haste will not mar, instead of make an understanding?" |
| 11323 | Are you in distress? |
| 11323 | Are you in want? |
| 11323 | Are you inaccessible to remorse? |
| 11323 | Are you not struck to the heart with the unmerited goodness of your master? |
| 11323 | Are you of that mind now you have heard them? |
| 11323 | At length he could deceive himself no longer, and exclaimed with a distracted accent,"And is this all?" |
| 11323 | At present he appears to be the persecutor, and I the persecuted: is not this difference the mere creature of the imagination? |
| 11323 | Beside, how narrow would be the use of this science when acquired? |
| 11323 | But could this circumstance have any reference to me? |
| 11323 | But do you think it will conduce in any respect to your benefit, to throw out such insolent and intolerable insinuations?" |
| 11323 | But if I had no fortune, is not that the case with a thousand other folks? |
| 11323 | But if you are resolute, do you see? |
| 11323 | But of what use are talents and sentiments in the corrupt wilderness of human society? |
| 11323 | But ought I not to turn again, when I am trampled upon? |
| 11323 | But pray, do not you think this great hero was a sort of a madman? |
| 11323 | But shall I forget what a vast expense was bestowed in erecting the monument of his fame? |
| 11323 | But surely you owe me justice?" |
| 11323 | But to what purpose appeal to probabilities and conjecture, in the face of incontestable facts? |
| 11323 | But was it for me to force this conduct upon him, if, now in his declining years, his own fortitude shrank from it? |
| 11323 | But what signifies prating? |
| 11323 | But why do I call the point at which I was now arrived at a resting- place? |
| 11323 | But you are for a trial of skill? |
| 11323 | But you do not infer from thence that these people are to do as they please, and never meet with their deserts?" |
| 11323 | But, if a fair fame were of the most inexpressible value, is this the method which common sense would prescribe to retrieve it? |
| 11323 | Can I not draw amusement from the stores of my own mind? |
| 11323 | Can not you read?" |
| 11323 | Can that circumstance dishonour me? |
| 11323 | Can you be contented to purchase them at the price of treachery-- of violating the laws of hospitality?" |
| 11323 | Can you bring her back to life, as you have driven her out of it? |
| 11323 | Can you have no anxiety for my justification, whatever may be the unfavourable impression you may have received against me?" |
| 11323 | Can you hear her name, and not sink into the earth? |
| 11323 | Can you recollect her virtues, her innocence, her spotless manners, her unresentful temper, and not run distracted with remorse? |
| 11323 | Can you retire into solitude, and not see her pale and patient ghost rising to reproach you? |
| 11323 | Can you think of condemning a man when you have heard only one side of his story?" |
| 11323 | Clare, why could not I have died in your stead? |
| 11323 | Could I discourage a frankness so perfectly in consonance with my wishes, and receive in an ungracious way a kindness that stole away my heart? |
| 11323 | Could I ever inflict upon you such injuries as you have made me suffer? |
| 11323 | Could I, by any refinement of reason, convert this dreadful series into sport? |
| 11323 | Could a real criminal have shown himself so unabashed, composed, and firm as I have now done? |
| 11323 | Could an amusement of this sort be dangerous? |
| 11323 | Could he be following her? |
| 11323 | Could no human ingenuity and exertion effect them? |
| 11323 | Could there be any peril in the short interval that was to elapse, before the vessel was to weigh anchor and quit the English shore? |
| 11323 | Could you mistake the bigoted and obstinate conduct of Forester, in offering a hundred guineas for your apprehension, for mine? |
| 11323 | Did I ever prove myself unworthy of your confidence? |
| 11323 | Did I give her poison? |
| 11323 | Did I then mention a syllable of the murder, the secret of which was in my possession? |
| 11323 | Did all these persecutions persuade me to put an end to my silence? |
| 11323 | Did his power reach through all space, and his eye penetrate every concealment? |
| 11323 | Did it really contain such an extent of arguments and application, that nobody but I was discerning enough to see? |
| 11323 | Did not I endeavour to prevent your being sent thither? |
| 11323 | Did not I maintain you in prison? |
| 11323 | Did not he over- run nations that would never have heard of him but for his devastations? |
| 11323 | Did not you read it?" |
| 11323 | Did the imbecility of his grey hairs afford no advantage to my terrible adversary in the contest? |
| 11323 | Did these authors think that, by the coarseness of their ribaldry, they could destroy his well- earned fame? |
| 11323 | Did this show me a man unworthy to be trusted? |
| 11323 | Did you believe that we would live in hourly fear of you, tremble at your threats, and compromise, whenever you should so please, with your insolence? |
| 11323 | Did you ever read, Williams, of a man more gallant, generous, and free? |
| 11323 | Did you ever see him?" |
| 11323 | Did you ever see the person before?" |
| 11323 | Did you never read his history?" |
| 11323 | Did you never say that, if once I brought on myself the weight of your displeasure, my fall should be irreparable? |
| 11323 | Did you not add, that my innocence should be of no service to me, and that you laughed at so feeble a defence? |
| 11323 | Did you think I were such a goose, to take all this trouble merely to gratify your whim? |
| 11323 | Didst thou believe me impotent, imbecile, and idiot- like, with no understanding to contrive thy ruin, and no energy to perpetrate it? |
| 11323 | Didst thou imagine that there was no danger in inflicting on me pains however great, miseries however dreadful? |
| 11323 | Do not you know, you have been voted out? |
| 11323 | Do you remember his tears, his remorse, his determined abstinence from food, which he could scarcely be persuaded to relinquish? |
| 11323 | Do you think I could bear to see that?" |
| 11323 | Do you think I will be an instrument to be played on at your pleasure, till you have extorted all the treasures of my soul? |
| 11323 | Do you think I will be contradicted and opposed for nothing? |
| 11323 | Do you think I will let any body else choose a husband for me? |
| 11323 | Do you think we will be your slaves? |
| 11323 | Do you think you are out of the reach of my power, because a court of justice has acquitted you?" |
| 11323 | Do you think you shall watch my privacies with impunity?" |
| 11323 | Do you think, strumpet; that you shall get the better of me by sheer impudence? |
| 11323 | Do''ee think ee can creep out at the key- hole, lovey? |
| 11323 | Does he think I will feel all that I endure for nothing?" |
| 11323 | Does not your heart tell you that I am innocent?" |
| 11323 | Had I not sufficiently proved my constancy and fidelity? |
| 11323 | Had he no fears for his own secret and atrocious offences? |
| 11323 | Had they stronger motives than I? |
| 11323 | Have I been nursing a viper in my bosom? |
| 11323 | Have I ever done any thing to deserve your unkind suspicions? |
| 11323 | Have I not been employed from my infancy in gratifying an insatiable curiosity? |
| 11323 | Have not I, thinks I, arms and legs as well as other people? |
| 11323 | Have you not killed her in the first bloom of her youth? |
| 11323 | Having recovered himself, he enquired, why then, that being the case, I did not quit his service? |
| 11323 | Hawkins, I think, is your name? |
| 11323 | He advanced towards Mr. Tyrrel without a moment''s pause, and in a peremptory voice asked him what he did there? |
| 11323 | He appeared to muse for a moment upon what I had said, and then asked what reason I could have to complain of Mr. Falkland? |
| 11323 | He looked at the speaker with a fixed and penetrating glance, and then said,"Nay, Gines, do you know? |
| 11323 | He said little more to his brother, except asking, as if casually, what sort of an old woman this was? |
| 11323 | He that lately possessed it has injured me; does that alter its value as a medium of exchange? |
| 11323 | He went on:"You do so; do you? |
| 11323 | His sight was already dim; he pulled up his horse till I should overtake him; and then said,"Who are you? |
| 11323 | How atrociously absurd to suppose any motive capable of inducing such a man to play the part of a lurking assassin? |
| 11323 | How can it fail to do so? |
| 11323 | How can she be in Mr. Tyrrel''s debt? |
| 11323 | How can you ask such a question? |
| 11323 | How dare you give yourself such unaccountable liberties?" |
| 11323 | How dare you look down upon your equals?" |
| 11323 | How do you know? |
| 11323 | How few persons would he encounter so unjust and injurious as you, if his own conduct were directed by the principles of reason and benevolence? |
| 11323 | How many hundred thousands of lives did he sacrifice in his career? |
| 11323 | How must he suppose I came to that place? |
| 11323 | How shall I describe the feelings of this unfortunate man? |
| 11323 | How then can we be of a different family?" |
| 11323 | How unfeeling to oblige him to defend himself from such an imputation? |
| 11323 | How was a mind, active and indefatigable like mine, to endure this misery? |
| 11323 | How was it possible for me to be so eager, so obstinate, in a purpose so diabolical? |
| 11323 | I am no murderer; yet, if I were, what worse could I be fated to suffer? |
| 11323 | I am not guilty of what is imputed to me? |
| 11323 | I am unable to cope with you: what then? |
| 11323 | I am very happy as I am: why should I be married?" |
| 11323 | I ask him--"Did you never boast to me in private of your power to ruin me? |
| 11323 | I ask you further,--Did you not receive a letter from me the morning of the day on which I departed, requesting your consent to my departure? |
| 11323 | I asked Mr. Forester, whether it were probable, if I had stolen these things, that I should not have contrived, at least to remove them along with me? |
| 11323 | I began:--"Why can not I recall the last four days of my life? |
| 11323 | I exclaimed within myself,"What scene of death has Roscius now to act?" |
| 11323 | I exclaimed, in the bitterness of my heart,"Of what value is a fair fame? |
| 11323 | I might find an individual ready to undertake this office in my behalf; but where should I find the benevolent soul of Mrs. Marney? |
| 11323 | I tell you she does owe me,--owes me eleven hundred pounds.--The law justifies it.--What do you think laws were made for? |
| 11323 | I want nothing of you: how dare you refuse me the privilege of a reasonable being, to live unmolested in poverty and innocence? |
| 11323 | I was not deterred by your menaces--(what could you make me suffer more than I actually suffered?) |
| 11323 | I was not-- no, it was impossible-- the person who had formerly lived servant with Mr. Falkland, of----? |
| 11323 | I will speak with a voice more fearful than thunder!--Why should I be supposed to speak from any dishonourable motive? |
| 11323 | If I could have submitted to it in other respects, what purpose would it answer? |
| 11323 | If I encountered him, what chance had I of victory? |
| 11323 | If I had been guilty, should I not have embraced the opportunity? |
| 11323 | If I had, how could I tell that the second and third judgment would be more favourable than the first? |
| 11323 | If I were defeated, what was the penalty I had to suffer? |
| 11323 | If I were your enemy, should not I have reason? |
| 11323 | If fidelity and honour be banished from thieves, where shall they find refuge upon the face of the earth? |
| 11323 | If he must in every case be at my mercy, in which mode ought he to have sought his safety, in conciliation, or in inexorable cruelty? |
| 11323 | If no other person have the courage to set limits to the tyranny of courts of justice, shall not we? |
| 11323 | Imprudent though I had been, could I voluntarily subject myself to an eternal penance, and estrangement from human society? |
| 11323 | In fine, for what purpose could a poor beggar, who had never been in Ireland in his life, want to transport himself to that country? |
| 11323 | In searching me they had found upon me fifteen guineas, how should a poor beggar lad, such as I appeared, come honestly by fifteen guineas? |
| 11323 | In short, I am determined she shall marry this lad: you do not know any harm of him, do you? |
| 11323 | In the devil''s name, madam, do you think he would write poetry if he could do any thing better?" |
| 11323 | In the mean time, what must be my feelings? |
| 11323 | Is every body incapable of saying what kind of stuff a man is made of? |
| 11323 | Is he thus blind to the future, thus totally unsuspecting of what is to occur in the next moment of his existence? |
| 11323 | Is it for you to ask that question? |
| 11323 | Is it in man to leap from the high- raised precipice, or rush unconcerned into the midst of flames? |
| 11323 | Is it necessary to give any particular and precise reasons why I should wish to change the place of my residence? |
| 11323 | Is it not enough that I am pennyless? |
| 11323 | Is it not freighted with various knowledge? |
| 11323 | Is it not strange that such a one as I should retain lineaments of a human creature? |
| 11323 | Is it possible that she should know what has been planned for the few next hours?" |
| 11323 | Is it possible, if you had been honest, that you would not have acquainted me with your story? |
| 11323 | Is not my estate my own? |
| 11323 | Is not that impotence greater than I have yet imagined? |
| 11323 | Is not the man my tenant? |
| 11323 | Is that a country of liberty, where thousands languish in dungeons and fetters? |
| 11323 | Is that a reason you should hinder his preferment?" |
| 11323 | Is the luminary of the world thus for ever gone? |
| 11323 | Is there any charge so frivolous, upon which men are not consigned to those detested abodes? |
| 11323 | Is there any villainy that is not practised by justices and prosecutors? |
| 11323 | Is this the kindness you professed? |
| 11323 | Is this the way to obtain the favour of a man of consequence and respectability? |
| 11323 | Is truth then entitled to adoration for its own sake, and not for the sake of the happiness it is calculated to produce? |
| 11323 | It is true: my mind, the clearness of my spirit, the firmness of my temper, are beyond his reach; is not my life equally so, if I please? |
| 11323 | It seems too you know-- accursed remembrance!--that I was accused of this crime?" |
| 11323 | It was an instantaneous impulse, a short- lived and passing alienation of mind; but what must Mr. Falkland think of that alienation? |
| 11323 | It was extraordinary: what could be become of her? |
| 11323 | Let us suppose that Hawkins has behaved unjustifiably, and insulted you: is that an offence that never can be expiated? |
| 11323 | May I not employ my ingenuity to vex him with difficulties, and laugh at the endless labour to which he will be condemned?" |
| 11323 | May I not meet hereafter with men ingenuous like him, who shall do me justice, and sympathise with my calamity? |
| 11323 | Might not I as well desire you to leave the county, as you desire me? |
| 11323 | Might not Mr. Falkland reduce him to a condition as wretched and low as mine? |
| 11323 | Might not his integrity be browbeaten and defeated, as mine had been? |
| 11323 | Mr. Grimes, what do you mean?" |
| 11323 | Must he perpetually trample upon his betters? |
| 11323 | Must the father be ruined, and the son hanged, to glut your resentment?" |
| 11323 | My Christian name? |
| 11323 | My first sweetheart was Bet Butterfield, but what of that? |
| 11323 | Of what would you convince me? |
| 11323 | On the other hand, could I pretend to know what evils might result to him from his declaring himself my advocate? |
| 11323 | One of the company cried out,"Who goes there? |
| 11323 | One of the first questions that then occurred was, what shall I do with the knowledge I have been so eager to acquire? |
| 11323 | Ought I to submit to waste the best years of my life in my present wretched situation? |
| 11323 | Pretty master''s manners will be contaminated truly? |
| 11323 | Recollect all that has ever passed under your observation; is it compatible with a mind capable of what is now alleged against me? |
| 11323 | Shall I point my animosity against one, whom the system of nature has brought down to the grave? |
| 11323 | Shall I poison, with sounds the most intolerable to his ears, the last moments of a man like Falkland? |
| 11323 | Shall a rascal that farms his forty acres, pretend to beard the lord of the manor? |
| 11323 | Shall we, who earn our livelihood by generous daring, be indebted for a penny to the vile artifices of the informer? |
| 11323 | She recollected that she had always been upon her guard respecting me; but had she been sufficiently so? |
| 11323 | She started, and cried,"Are we discovered? |
| 11323 | Should I have dared to ask for what reason I was thus subjected to an eternal penance?" |
| 11323 | Should I have done that if my flight had been that of a thief? |
| 11323 | Should I wait, and risk the preservation of my liberty upon the issue? |
| 11323 | So I only asked him what he did that for, and whether he had not more conscience than to spoil people''s crops o''that fashion? |
| 11323 | So do you hear, sir? |
| 11323 | Surely he would not refuse me? |
| 11323 | That Mr. Falkland is a suborner and murderer?" |
| 11323 | The accused expostulated with their persecutor, and asked him how he could be so barbarous as to persist in frightening a woman? |
| 11323 | The justice of proclaiming your innocence? |
| 11323 | The other expressed no marks of resentment, but sullenly answered,"Damn you, why did not you take the edge? |
| 11323 | The secret struggle of his mind was,"Can this be hypocrisy? |
| 11323 | Then what would have been the result? |
| 11323 | There was something in the tone with which this slut uttered her farewell, that suggested the question to Emily,"What does she mean? |
| 11323 | This story had succeeded with persons already prepossessed in my favour by personal intercourse; but could it succeed with strangers? |
| 11323 | Though I am a plain, working man, your honour, do you see? |
| 11323 | To what purpose complain, when his complaints are sure to be received with incredulity? |
| 11323 | To what purpose serve the restless aspirations of my soul, but to make me, like a frighted bird, beat myself in vain against the enclosure of my cage? |
| 11323 | To whom shall the unfortunate felon appeal? |
| 11323 | True; and how many hundreds are there that live from hand to mouth all the days of their life? |
| 11323 | Upon what pretence did he refuse my deposition? |
| 11323 | Was I to receive the money which had just been put into my hands? |
| 11323 | Was I to wait the issue of this my missionary undertaking, or was I to withdraw myself immediately? |
| 11323 | Was acquittal useless? |
| 11323 | Was ever mortal so completely the reverse of every thing engrossing and selfish? |
| 11323 | Was existence more variously endeared to them? |
| 11323 | Was he like that mysterious being, to protect us from whose fierce revenge mountains and hills, we are told, might fall on us in vain? |
| 11323 | Was it not dangerous to the whole fraternity if, without the smallest precaution, she should bring the officers of justice in the midst of them? |
| 11323 | Was it not enough that I was publicly dishonoured? |
| 11323 | Was it not the inevitable consequence of your own actions?" |
| 11323 | Was it possible I could have forgotten for a moment the awe- creating manners of Falkland, and the inexorable fury I should awake in his soul? |
| 11323 | Was it possible that she alluded to that in her parting words? |
| 11323 | Was it possible that, by any unaccountable accident, they should have got an intimation of my disguise? |
| 11323 | Was it possible, after all, that Mr. Falkland should be the murderer? |
| 11323 | Was it wise in him to drive me into extremity and madness? |
| 11323 | Was not he the common disturber of mankind? |
| 11323 | Was the world, with all its climates, made in vain for thy helpless unoffending victim? |
| 11323 | Was there no hope that remained for me? |
| 11323 | Was there no period, past or in prospect, that could give relief to my sufferings? |
| 11323 | Was this the life upon which I had entered with such warm and sanguine expectation? |
| 11323 | Well then, added I, if it be such as would not be admitted at a criminal tribunal, am I sure it is such as I ought to admit? |
| 11323 | Well, and what did you say to the letter? |
| 11323 | Well, and what then? |
| 11323 | Were not those your very words? |
| 11323 | Were you any way aiding, abetting, or contributing to this murder?" |
| 11323 | Were you such a fool as to think, because men pay respect to wealth and rank, this would extend to such a deed? |
| 11323 | What are the material obstacles, that man never subdued? |
| 11323 | What benefit has ever resulted from my mistaken clemency? |
| 11323 | What can Mr. Falkland contrive for me worse than the ill opinion and enmity of all mankind?" |
| 11323 | What chance was there after the purgation I was now suffering, that I should come out acquitted at last? |
| 11323 | What concern have I with danger and alarm? |
| 11323 | What could I do? |
| 11323 | What could I say to such a man as this? |
| 11323 | What could exceed the horrors of this situation? |
| 11323 | What do I owe you? |
| 11323 | What do you mean by that? |
| 11323 | What do you mean?" |
| 11323 | What do you tell me of Mr. Falkland? |
| 11323 | What does this mean? |
| 11323 | What had I to do with life? |
| 11323 | What have I done to deserve this treatment? |
| 11323 | What have I done, that I should deserve to have you for an enemy?" |
| 11323 | What is it that casts me at such an immense distance below you, as to make every thing that relates to me wholly unworthy of consideration? |
| 11323 | What is it you know? |
| 11323 | What is it you mean to do?" |
| 11323 | What is it you mean?" |
| 11323 | What is it you propose? |
| 11323 | What is it you want? |
| 11323 | What is my offence?" |
| 11323 | What is the mysterious vengeance that you can yet execute against me? |
| 11323 | What is the reason, sir, that you seem unthankful and averse to my kindness? |
| 11323 | What is the undertaking so arduous, that by some has not been accomplished? |
| 11323 | What is your name-- ha, sirrah? |
| 11323 | What must he think of this? |
| 11323 | What must it have been with this complication of ignominy, base, humiliating, and public? |
| 11323 | What power can cause that man to die, whose whole soul commands him to continue to live?" |
| 11323 | What power is able to hold in chains a mind ardent and determined? |
| 11323 | What probability was there that the trial I had endured in the house of Mr. Falkland was not just as fair as any that might be expected to follow? |
| 11323 | What relief had I from these sensations? |
| 11323 | What right have you to make a prisoner of me? |
| 11323 | What should hinder me from taking that of which I was really in want, when, in taking it, I risked no vengeance, and perpetrated no violence? |
| 11323 | What should make thee inaccessible to my fury? |
| 11323 | What signifies calling it mine, if I am not to have the direction of it? |
| 11323 | What sort of a man do you show yourself, you that lay claim to the respect and applause of every one that knows you?" |
| 11323 | What then can I do? |
| 11323 | What then? |
| 11323 | What then? |
| 11323 | What then?" |
| 11323 | What though? |
| 11323 | What use, what advantage, what pleasurable sentiment, could arise from a tame surrender? |
| 11323 | What was I to do? |
| 11323 | What was I to infer? |
| 11323 | What was it she intended? |
| 11323 | What was my name? |
| 11323 | What was the nature of this power, from which I was to apprehend so much, yet which seemed to leave me at perfect liberty? |
| 11323 | What wonder that he took some interest in a mind in a certain degree congenial with his own? |
| 11323 | What-- dark, mysterious, unfeeling, unrelenting tyrant!--is it come to this? |
| 11323 | When did I ever contradict it? |
| 11323 | When did you ever know any body resist my will without being made to repent? |
| 11323 | When should I derive benefit from these superior advantages, if not at present?" |
| 11323 | Where did the printer get these stories? |
| 11323 | Where do you expect to find the hearts of flint that shall sympathise with yours? |
| 11323 | Where is the equality of that? |
| 11323 | Where, sir, is that? |
| 11323 | Which of you is so ignorant as to suppose, that his escape is any confirmation of his guilt? |
| 11323 | Whither was she gone? |
| 11323 | Who ever thinks, when he is apprehended for trial, of his innocence or guilt as being at all material to the issue? |
| 11323 | Who killed her? |
| 11323 | Who told you that I wished to part with you? |
| 11323 | Whose orders? |
| 11323 | Why are all these engines at work to torment me? |
| 11323 | Why are not you gone? |
| 11323 | Why bring your messages to me?" |
| 11323 | Why could not I speak the expostulations of my heart, or propose the compromise I meditated? |
| 11323 | Why did you not suffer me to depart? |
| 11323 | Why do I consent to live any longer? |
| 11323 | Why do I seek to drag on an existence, which, if protracted, must be protracted amidst the lairs of these human tigers?" |
| 11323 | Why do you trifle with me? |
| 11323 | Why have we the power of speech, but to communicate our thoughts? |
| 11323 | Why should I despair? |
| 11323 | Why should I grieve, for what they bear and are merry? |
| 11323 | Why should I insist upon such aggravations as hunger, beggary, and external wretchedness? |
| 11323 | Why should I suffer my mind to be invaded by unavailing regrets? |
| 11323 | Why should I wait the lingering process of legal despotism, and not dare so much as to die, but when and how its instruments decreed? |
| 11323 | Why should it be in the power of man to overtake and hold me by violence? |
| 11323 | Why should not I be as daring as they? |
| 11323 | Why should we be enemies? |
| 11323 | Why should we both of us be forced to do what neither of us is inclined to? |
| 11323 | Why should you consign my youthful hopes to suffering and despair? |
| 11323 | Why should you refuse a proposition dictated by reason, and an equal regard to the interest of each?" |
| 11323 | Why then,"exclaimed I, a new train of thought suddenly rushing into my mind,"why should I sustain the contest any longer? |
| 11323 | Why trouble me with your prophecies and forebodings?" |
| 11323 | Why was it, that I was once more totally overcome by the imperious carriage of Mr. Falkland, and unable to utter a word? |
| 11323 | Why were not my sufferings permitted to terminate then, and I allowed to hide my weary head in some obscure yet tranquil retreat? |
| 11323 | Why, man to man, may I not, by the powers of my mind, attain the ascendancy over him? |
| 11323 | Why, when I choose to withdraw myself, should I not be capable of eluding the most vigilant search? |
| 11323 | Why, you ha''n''t been tried, ha''you?" |
| 11323 | Will it be wise in us to exchange this prospect for the fruits of strife? |
| 11323 | Will you do that? |
| 11323 | Will you for so paltry a consideration deliver up the lamb into the jaws of the wolf? |
| 11323 | With respect to all that was solid, what chance could I find in new exertions of a similar nature? |
| 11323 | With such a cause then to bear us out, shall we stain it with cruelty, malice, and revenge? |
| 11323 | With what sensations did I ruminate upon this paper? |
| 11323 | Would he take upon him to say that he had a right, at his pleasure, to suppress a charge of this complicated nature? |
| 11323 | Would not a compromise in this situation have been most wise and most secure? |
| 11323 | Would not this conduct on my part betray a base and abject spirit, that crouched under tyranny, and kissed the hands that were imbrued in my blood? |
| 11323 | Would she set out upon such an expedition by herself? |
| 11323 | Would you lay down this rule for yourself, and suffer no other creature to take the benefit of it? |
| 11323 | Would you strip me naked to the weather in the midst of this depopulated forest? |
| 11323 | Wretch that you are, will nothing move you? |
| 11323 | Yet was it likely in that case that he should be able to employ Gines and his associate, who had just been his instruments of violence upon my person? |
| 11323 | You are bailiffs, are not you? |
| 11323 | You are not murderers?" |
| 11323 | You expect every body to turn out of his way, and fetch and carry, just as you please? |
| 11323 | You have a lease, have you? |
| 11323 | You have not forgot all the kindness you once had for me?" |
| 11323 | You knew I was sent to prison, did not you?" |
| 11323 | You threatened me: did I then betray you? |
| 11323 | Young as I was, could it be expected that I should play the philosopher, and put a perpetual curb upon my inclinations? |
| 11323 | Your mother left me a hundred pounds: have you ever offered to make any addition to my fortune? |
| 11323 | and after this will not you give me a reward?" |
| 11323 | and from what part of Tipperary are you pleased to come?" |
| 11323 | and must people in prison be shackled and bound of that fashion?--and where do you lay of nights?" |
| 11323 | and what may have been the nature of your connection with him?" |
| 11323 | and whether she often brought him materials of this kind? |
| 11323 | answered my assailant,"what, I suppose you are as poor as a thief? |
| 11323 | art thou the offspring, in whom the lineaments of these tyrants are faithfully preserved? |
| 11323 | can you wish not to hear me? |
| 11323 | caught with mere outside? |
| 11323 | choosing the flimsy before the substantial? |
| 11323 | cried Emily,( this was the appellation she delighted to bestow upon the good housekeeper,)"you can not think so? |
| 11323 | cried he,"what has brought you here?" |
| 11323 | did not I hear you speak?" |
| 11323 | did you think you could do and undo, and change things this way and that, as you pleased?" |
| 11323 | do you see any of the marks of guilt? |
| 11323 | exclaimed Emily with surprise;"why should we stop? |
| 11323 | exclaimed Mrs. Hammond,"what does this mean? |
| 11323 | have you the heart? |
| 11323 | have you the impudence to think yourself one of our family?" |
| 11323 | interrupted I, with a stern voice,"do you betray me into the remorseless fangs of the law, and then talk of my not being hurt? |
| 11323 | is it come to this? |
| 11323 | it could not be----? |
| 11323 | of what age she might be? |
| 11323 | or had they more numerous methods by which to animate and adorn it? |
| 11323 | rest you satisfied!--So you want to know by what right you are here, do you? |
| 11323 | said he, in a voice in which commiseration was sufficiently perceptible,"is this you?" |
| 11323 | said he, with a tone of the greatest imaginable kindness,"how came you thus?" |
| 11323 | said he,"do you menace us? |
| 11323 | said one of the voices;"why should we be murderers?" |
| 11323 | she exclaimed,"what do you mean to do to me?" |
| 11323 | that I was deprived, by the pestilential influence of some demon, of the opportunity of avenging my dishonour? |
| 11323 | the affection that was perpetually in your mouth? |
| 11323 | was it for this that I took you up, when Mr. Underwood dismissed you for your insolence to him? |
| 11323 | what do you come here for?" |
| 11323 | what is man? |
| 11323 | what light did it throw upon the intentions of my inexorable persecutor? |
| 11323 | what sort of character is that which must be supported by witnesses? |
| 11323 | which way can he be gone?" |
| 11323 | who are you? |
| 11323 | who brought you up? |
| 11323 | who had forced the basest and most atrocious falsehoods, and urged them with a seriousness and perseverance which produced universal belief? |
| 11323 | who is there? |
| 11323 | who opened the door?" |
| 11323 | who, an hour before, had vowed against me inexorable enmity, and sworn to entail upon me misery without end? |
| 18508 | ''And paid your instructor?'' 18508 ''Indeed? |
| 18508 | ''Why do you hesitate?'' 18508 ''Why not stay,''said he,''as long as I and my family stay? |
| 18508 | A bachelor, say you? 18508 A height, however, to attain which you suppose only her consent, her love, to be necessary?" |
| 18508 | Afflict you? |
| 18508 | An old man? 18508 And is such your opinion of mankind? |
| 18508 | And is that the only part you wish to act towards this girl? |
| 18508 | And my uncle would have nothing to do with my affairs? |
| 18508 | And on the strength of this acquaintance you expect to be her almoner? 18508 And pray of what kind may they be?" |
| 18508 | And what has since become of him? |
| 18508 | And who is this model? |
| 18508 | And why? |
| 18508 | And will you comply with them? |
| 18508 | And, pr''ythee, what have they said? |
| 18508 | Are these crimes? |
| 18508 | Are you mad, young man? |
| 18508 | Are you not a little capricious in that respect, my good friend? 18508 Are you not my lost mamma come back again? |
| 18508 | Before I am convinced that she deserves it? 18508 But how shall she be persuaded to a change?" |
| 18508 | But tell me,I resumed, following and searching her averted eyes;"am I right? |
| 18508 | But what are the attributes of this_ desirable_ which Bess wants? |
| 18508 | But what should they hug together in one room for? |
| 18508 | But what,said I,"is my title to this money? |
| 18508 | But where, where is he now? 18508 But why not go myself?" |
| 18508 | But will he not suspect you of some hand in it? |
| 18508 | But will not the recovery of this money make a favourable change in her condition? |
| 18508 | Can you seriously wish that? |
| 18508 | Did I not rescue her from poverty, and prostitution, and infamy? 18508 Do you know in what situation he now is?" |
| 18508 | Do you know that woman? |
| 18508 | Do you not know,he replied,"what my disease is? |
| 18508 | Does she not possess them already? |
| 18508 | Does that follow? 18508 Eliza Hadwin:--do you wish-- could you bear-- to see her the wife of another?" |
| 18508 | Facts? 18508 For God''s sake!--what does all this mean? |
| 18508 | For what purpose? |
| 18508 | Forgive you what? 18508 Has she property? |
| 18508 | Has she virtue? 18508 Have I not explained my wishes? |
| 18508 | Have I not the same claims to be wise, and active, and courageous, as you? 18508 Have you good reasons for supposing him to have been illicitly connected with that girl?" |
| 18508 | Have you not heard? 18508 How am I to introduce myself? |
| 18508 | How are you this morning? |
| 18508 | How became you once more the companion of Welbeck? 18508 How can he? |
| 18508 | How can it be helped? |
| 18508 | How comes this? |
| 18508 | How comes this? |
| 18508 | How dare you thrust yourself upon my privacy? 18508 How do you mean to act?" |
| 18508 | How is this? |
| 18508 | How know I that her debasement is not already complete and irremediable? 18508 How long has he been married?" |
| 18508 | How long has he been married? |
| 18508 | How much is the debt? |
| 18508 | How? 18508 How?" |
| 18508 | How?--To Stedman''s?--In whose company? |
| 18508 | I have been wrong; but how too late? 18508 I will not jest, then, but will soberly inquire, what faults are they which make this lady''s choice of you so incredible? |
| 18508 | If you love her likeness, why not love herself? |
| 18508 | In what manner can I serve her? |
| 18508 | In what way,said Mervyn, sedately,"do they imagine me a partaker of his crime?" |
| 18508 | Is it rational to cherish the hope of thy restoration to innocence and peace? 18508 Is there no other whom you love?" |
| 18508 | It grieves you? 18508 It is; but why that sigh? |
| 18508 | It will be impossible,said he, in a tone of panic and vexation,"to procure another at this hour: what is to be done?" |
| 18508 | Know you,said I,"where Mr. Welbeck is? |
| 18508 | Mr. Somers, I suppose; hey, fool? 18508 Must he decide where I am to live?" |
| 18508 | No? 18508 Of me?" |
| 18508 | Of whom do you speak? |
| 18508 | Pr''ythee, what is it? |
| 18508 | Really,said I,"that circumstance escaped my attention, and I wonder that it did; but is it too late to repair the evil?" |
| 18508 | Such- and- such,I once said,"are my notions; now, what do_ you_ think?" |
| 18508 | Tell me,repeated I,"what can I do to serve you? |
| 18508 | Then you are determined against marriage with this girl? |
| 18508 | Then you have no scruple to accept the reward? |
| 18508 | Then you will try to see her? |
| 18508 | This Mervyn has imagined, has dared-- will you forgive him? |
| 18508 | Thy undertaking was strangely hazardous and rash; but who is the friend thou seekest? 18508 To arrest and to punishment?" |
| 18508 | To what? 18508 Well, sir,"said Williams,"you think that Arthur Mervyn has no remedy in this case but the law?" |
| 18508 | What ails the girl? 18508 What art so busy about, Arthur? |
| 18508 | What can this mean? |
| 18508 | What do you fear? |
| 18508 | What embarrassments? 18508 What good has been done, then, by restoring this money?" |
| 18508 | What have you done, my friend? 18508 What is his name?" |
| 18508 | What is his profession,--his way of life? |
| 18508 | What is his trade? |
| 18508 | What is the character of the young man? 18508 What is to pay?" |
| 18508 | What is your business with her? 18508 What made me so thoughtless of the time? |
| 18508 | What means my girl? 18508 What more can be added?" |
| 18508 | What more? 18508 What now remains? |
| 18508 | What proof,said I,"have you of the immoral conduct of the son? |
| 18508 | What reward? |
| 18508 | What then do you come hither for at such an hour? |
| 18508 | What then is the inference? 18508 What was it,"said I,"that brought me hither? |
| 18508 | What was this lad''s personal deportment during the life of his mother, and before his father''s second marriage? |
| 18508 | What would you have? |
| 18508 | What,said I,"is old Thetford''s claim upon Welbeck?" |
| 18508 | What,said he, mildly,"is your business with my wife? |
| 18508 | What,she resumed,"could inspire all this woe? |
| 18508 | Whence have you come? |
| 18508 | Whence,said I,"can these dissatisfactions and repinings arise?" |
| 18508 | Where''s Polly, you slut? 18508 Where,"said I,"will this adventure terminate? |
| 18508 | Where,said she, in her broken English,--"where is Signor Welbeck?" |
| 18508 | Whither should I fly? 18508 Who said you did, impertinence? |
| 18508 | Whom did I hear in the room above? 18508 Why are you so precipitate? |
| 18508 | Why do we linger here? 18508 Why have you changed it? |
| 18508 | Why led you me thus back to my sad remembrances? 18508 Why should I live? |
| 18508 | Why, surely, you place no confidence in dreams? |
| 18508 | Why,said I, as I hasted forward,"is my fortune so abundant in unforeseen occurrences? |
| 18508 | Why,said I, falteringly,"did he not seasonably withdraw from the city? |
| 18508 | Why,said I,"may I not make my demand of the first man I meet? |
| 18508 | Why? 18508 Will not argument change it? |
| 18508 | Will you compel me to call those who will punish this insolence as it deserves? |
| 18508 | Will you leave the house? |
| 18508 | Will you leave the house? |
| 18508 | Would marriage with her be a forfeiture of your happiness? |
| 18508 | Would that change be worthy of a cautious person? 18508 Would you have me act a clandestine part? |
| 18508 | Yet what alternative was offered me? 18508 You are a very prudential youth: then you are willing to wait ten years for a wife?" |
| 18508 | You say you love her: why then not make her your wife? |
| 18508 | You will persuade her to go with you, and to live at a home of your providing and on your bounty? |
| 18508 | Your friend? 18508 ''Are you ready?'' 18508 ( in a peremptory tone,)how came you here, sir? |
| 18508 | ( said I,) would you stab or pistol him? |
| 18508 | A few hundreds would take him from prison; but how should he be afterwards disposed of? |
| 18508 | A sad silence ensued the cheerfulness that had reigned before:--"Why thus dejected, my friend?" |
| 18508 | After a pause, a soft voice said,"Who is there?" |
| 18508 | After some pause, I said,"Can not you conjecture in what way this volume has disappeared?" |
| 18508 | After some pause, he said, in a very emphatic manner,"Why into the country? |
| 18508 | Am I known to be a seducer and assassin? |
| 18508 | Am I not endowed with this zeal? |
| 18508 | Am I not, by the appointment of her dying brother, her protector and guardian? |
| 18508 | And even then, what regard shall I, young, unmarried, independent, affluent, pay to my own reputation in harbouring a woman in these circumstances?" |
| 18508 | And if so, shall I repine at your silence? |
| 18508 | And what expedient was it in my power to propose? |
| 18508 | And why did you adopt this mode of inquiry? |
| 18508 | And will not she devote a few dollars to rescue a fellow- creature from indigence and infamy and vice? |
| 18508 | And will not such conduct incur more dangerous surmises and suspicions than would arise from acting openly and directly? |
| 18508 | And will she consent, think you?" |
| 18508 | And yet, if it be so, if my friend himself be sick, what will become of me? |
| 18508 | And yet-- is it possible that you are that person?" |
| 18508 | And, now that the conquest is effected, what shall I say? |
| 18508 | And, pray, for what faults do you think she would reject you?" |
| 18508 | And, pray, what benevolent scheme would you propose to her?" |
| 18508 | Anybody dead?" |
| 18508 | Are not these evidences of a compact between them? |
| 18508 | Are the heart and the intelligence within worthy of these features?" |
| 18508 | Are you a sister or daughter in this family, or merely a visitant? |
| 18508 | Are you here? |
| 18508 | Are you not her sister?" |
| 18508 | Are you not mistaken?" |
| 18508 | Are you not well?" |
| 18508 | Are you still willing to invest me with all the rights of an elder sister over this girl? |
| 18508 | Art thou sick? |
| 18508 | Art thou willing to remain here till the morrow? |
| 18508 | Arthur, are not men sometimes too_ wise_ to be happy? |
| 18508 | Arthur, is it you? |
| 18508 | As soon as I perceived it, I said,"Why are you thus grave?" |
| 18508 | At last the husband said,"What think you of the nabob? |
| 18508 | At length it occurred to me to ask, May not this evil be obviated, and the felicity of the Hadwins re- established? |
| 18508 | At length the same lady resumed,"What''s your business? |
| 18508 | At length, advancing to the bed, on the side of which I was now sitting, he addressed me:--"What is this? |
| 18508 | Because my Bess will not be qualified for wedlock in less time, does it follow that I must wait for her?" |
| 18508 | Besides, if the lady were found, would not prudence dictate the reservation of her fortune to be administered by me, for her benefit? |
| 18508 | Besides, on what pretence should I remain? |
| 18508 | But are these all your objections?" |
| 18508 | But first, shall I not, in some way, manifest my gratitude?" |
| 18508 | But how camest thou hither?" |
| 18508 | But how else should I explain my absence? |
| 18508 | But how should I explain my views and state my wishes when an interview was gained? |
| 18508 | But how should I secure this application? |
| 18508 | But how was I to interpose? |
| 18508 | But how was it to be distinguished from the property of others? |
| 18508 | But how was this statement compatible with former representations? |
| 18508 | But how was this to be done? |
| 18508 | But how?" |
| 18508 | But was he not associated with Colvill? |
| 18508 | But was this event to be regretted? |
| 18508 | But were there not some foreign lineaments in his countenance? |
| 18508 | But what of the murdered person? |
| 18508 | But what was the fate reserved for me? |
| 18508 | But where was the messenger to be found? |
| 18508 | But why has he forsaken me? |
| 18508 | But why inquire whence the difference? |
| 18508 | But why should I open afresh wounds which time has imperfectly closed? |
| 18508 | But why should I ruminate, with anguish and doubt, upon the past? |
| 18508 | But why this ominous misgiving just now? |
| 18508 | But will not my behaviour on this occasion be deemed illicit? |
| 18508 | But, first, what is all this writing about?" |
| 18508 | But, if I intended not to resign it to him, was it proper to disclose the truth and explain by whom the volume was purloined from the shelf? |
| 18508 | But, if he should remain, what conduct would his companion pursue? |
| 18508 | But, meanwhile, what was I to do? |
| 18508 | But, pray, what have you for dinner? |
| 18508 | But, should he be able to return, where should he find a retreat? |
| 18508 | By retaining it, shall I not be as culpable as Welbeck? |
| 18508 | By what means would he silence her inquiries? |
| 18508 | By what means, consistently with my own wants and the claims of others, should I secure to him an acceptable subsistence? |
| 18508 | By what miracle came it hither? |
| 18508 | By what miracle escaped the former from the river, into which I had imagined him forever sunk? |
| 18508 | By what motives were those men led hither? |
| 18508 | By what right could she be restrained from intercourse with others? |
| 18508 | By whom, then, was she buried? |
| 18508 | Can Achsa ask what more? |
| 18508 | Can I render her a greater service than to apprize her of the aspersions that have rested on it, and afford her the opportunity of vindication? |
| 18508 | Can any lot be more deplorable than hers? |
| 18508 | Can any other expedient be proper? |
| 18508 | Can any state be more perilous? |
| 18508 | Can he be seen, madam?" |
| 18508 | Can not my feeble efforts obviate some portion of this evil? |
| 18508 | Can not she be admitted to the same asylum to which I am now going?" |
| 18508 | Can not she be saved?" |
| 18508 | Can not you point out some practicable method?" |
| 18508 | Can you help me to improve my girl? |
| 18508 | Can you read this scrawl? |
| 18508 | Can you tell me what has become of it?" |
| 18508 | Considering my situation, would he regard my fears and my surmises as criminal? |
| 18508 | Could I mistake? |
| 18508 | Could I not remove this ignorance? |
| 18508 | Could I not render that life profitable to himself and to mankind? |
| 18508 | Could I rely upon the permanence of her equanimity and her docility to my instructions? |
| 18508 | Could it be he by whom I was betrayed? |
| 18508 | Could not the fate of Wallace be ascertained? |
| 18508 | Could this money be more usefully employed than in alleviating these evils? |
| 18508 | Could you suspect me of so strange a punctilio as that?" |
| 18508 | Did I act illegally in passing from one story and one room to another? |
| 18508 | Did I really deserve the imputations of rashness and insolence? |
| 18508 | Did he meditate to offer a bloody sacrifice? |
| 18508 | Did she suspect my presumption, and is she determined thus to punish me? |
| 18508 | Did you know that person? |
| 18508 | Did you learn needlework from seven years''squatting on a tailor''s board? |
| 18508 | Did you mark how he eyed us when we carried away his wife and daughter? |
| 18508 | Do n''t you hear me?" |
| 18508 | Do not these urge you to make haste to her relief? |
| 18508 | Do the benefits which I have received from the Hadwins demand a less retribution than this? |
| 18508 | Do you deem them virtuous, or know them to be profligate? |
| 18508 | Do you imagine that so obvious an expedient as that of procuring my legal appointment as her guardian was overlooked by me? |
| 18508 | Do you know any thing of----?" |
| 18508 | Do you know the character, profession, and views of your companions? |
| 18508 | Do you know what the duties of a sister are?" |
| 18508 | Do you reside in this house? |
| 18508 | Do you think I can credit your assertions that you keep this money for another, when I recollect that six weeks have passed since you carried it off? |
| 18508 | Do you think I ever shall be happy to that degree which I have imagined? |
| 18508 | Do you think that we would linger here, if the danger were imminent? |
| 18508 | Does he live alone? |
| 18508 | Does not this sweet ingenuousness bewitch you?" |
| 18508 | Does she know the value of affluence and a fair fame? |
| 18508 | Does she not deserve to know the extent of her errors and the ignominy of her trade? |
| 18508 | Does she not merit the compassion of the good and the rebukes of the wise? |
| 18508 | Especially when he talked about riches? |
| 18508 | Even in health my condition was helpless and forlorn; but what would become of me should this fatal malady be contracted? |
| 18508 | Fielding?" |
| 18508 | For what end could a visit like this be paid? |
| 18508 | For what reasons, I asked, was this procedure to be adopted? |
| 18508 | Friends?" |
| 18508 | From yesterday; all then was a joyous calm, and now all is-- but then I knew not my infamy, my guilt----""What words are these, and from you, Arthur? |
| 18508 | Had I acted culpably or not? |
| 18508 | Had I not boasted of my intrepidity in braving denials and commands when they endeavoured to obstruct my passage to this woman? |
| 18508 | Had I not deemed unjustly of her constancy and force of mind? |
| 18508 | Had I not the means in my hands of dispelling her fatal ignorance of Welbeck and of those with whom she resided? |
| 18508 | Had he not called her his daughter? |
| 18508 | Had it not become necessary wholly to lay aside these resolutions? |
| 18508 | Had not you?'' |
| 18508 | Had some new friend sprung up more able or more willing to benefit me than he had been? |
| 18508 | Had the cause of this forfeiture been truly or thoroughly explained? |
| 18508 | Has any thing of an unpleasant nature passed between you and Wortley?" |
| 18508 | Has he parents or brothers?" |
| 18508 | Hast thou shut every avenue to my return to honour? |
| 18508 | Have I been importunate? |
| 18508 | Have I not seen his bank- account? |
| 18508 | Have I not supplied all her wants with incessant solicitude? |
| 18508 | Have you any knowledge of the book? |
| 18508 | Have you arms to receive her? |
| 18508 | Have you family? |
| 18508 | Have you got it? |
| 18508 | Have you it with you?" |
| 18508 | Have you not confessed your love for her?" |
| 18508 | Have you sympathy, protection, and a home to bestow upon a forlorn, betrayed, and unhappy stranger? |
| 18508 | Having finished my narrative, I proceeded thus:--"Can you hesitate to employ that power which was given you for good ends, to rescue this sufferer? |
| 18508 | He addressed me in a tone of mildness:--"Young man,"said he,"what is thy condition? |
| 18508 | He bent forward, and said, in a hoarse and contemptuous tone,"Pray, is your name Mervyn?" |
| 18508 | He seemed on the point of opening his mouth to rebuke me; but, suddenly checking himself, he said, in a tone of mildness,"How is this? |
| 18508 | He shrunk back, and exclaimed, in a feeble voice,"Who are you? |
| 18508 | He spoke in a tone less vehement:--"And hast thou then betrayed me? |
| 18508 | He started, and cried,"Who is there?" |
| 18508 | He turned to me, and said, in a tone of severity,--"How now? |
| 18508 | Headlong and rash as you are, you will not share with this person your knowledge of me?" |
| 18508 | His first emotion was rapturous, but was immediately chastened by some degree of doubt:--"What has become of it? |
| 18508 | His tale could not be the fruit of invention; and yet, what are the bounds of fraud? |
| 18508 | Hold meetings with one of your sex, and give him money for a purpose which I must hide from the world? |
| 18508 | How came friendship and intercourse between Welbeck and him? |
| 18508 | How came she thus? |
| 18508 | How can you reflect upon the situation without irresistible pity? |
| 18508 | How could I endure to look upon the face of one whom I had loaded with such atrocious and intolerable injuries? |
| 18508 | How could you fail to love her? |
| 18508 | How could you help it? |
| 18508 | How did I purpose to dispose of myself? |
| 18508 | How did you lose this portrait? |
| 18508 | How had the remainder been appropriated? |
| 18508 | How might I place it, so that I should effect my intentions without relinquishing the possession during my life? |
| 18508 | How shall I blunt the edge of this calamity, and rescue thee from new evils?" |
| 18508 | How shall I otherwise insure the safe conveyance of these papers?" |
| 18508 | How shall their relationship be ascertained?" |
| 18508 | How shall they be disarmed and eluded, or answered? |
| 18508 | How should I conduct my search? |
| 18508 | How should he be cured of his indolent habits? |
| 18508 | How should he be screened from the contagion of vicious society? |
| 18508 | How should he be the father of an Italian? |
| 18508 | How should my intention be effected? |
| 18508 | How strangely( have you not observed it?) |
| 18508 | How unfortunate? |
| 18508 | How was I to act? |
| 18508 | How was I to act? |
| 18508 | How was I to act? |
| 18508 | How was I to effect my escape from this perilous asylum? |
| 18508 | How was I to profit by her favour? |
| 18508 | How was this course to be pointed out? |
| 18508 | How? |
| 18508 | How? |
| 18508 | I asked him if he knew that his master, or accomplice, or whatever was his relation to him, absconded in my debt? |
| 18508 | I confess my ignorance; but ought not that ignorance to be removed before she makes a part of my family?" |
| 18508 | I could not but admit the reasonableness of these remonstrances; but where should a chamber and bed be sought? |
| 18508 | I could scarcely obtain sufficient courage to speak, and gave a confused assent to the question,"Have you business with me, sir?" |
| 18508 | I could scarcely stifle my emotions sufficiently to ask,"Of whom, sir, do you speak? |
| 18508 | I glided softly to the bed, when the thought occurred, May not the sleeper be a female? |
| 18508 | I had previously concluded to defer going thither till the ensuing morning; but why should I allow myself a moment''s delay? |
| 18508 | I had reason to contemn my own acquisitions; but were not those of Eliza still more slender? |
| 18508 | I inquired in my turn,"Whence originated this question?" |
| 18508 | I leaned over the edge; fixed my eyes upon the water and wept-- plentifully; but why? |
| 18508 | I looked at her with seriousness, and steadfastly spoke:--"Are you the wife of Amos Watson?" |
| 18508 | I must not go: yet what will she think of my failure? |
| 18508 | I must, cost what it will, rein in this upward- pulling, forward- going-- what shall I call it? |
| 18508 | I needed at present a few cents; and what were a few cents to the tenant of a mansion like this? |
| 18508 | I pray, sir, what is it detains him?" |
| 18508 | I should not perish in the public way; but what was my ground for hoping to continue under this roof? |
| 18508 | I stammered out an interrogation:--"Why is this? |
| 18508 | I waited till her vehemence was somewhat subsided, and then said,"What think you of my schemes? |
| 18508 | If Colvill were not here, where had he made his abode? |
| 18508 | If I am ignorant and weak, do I not owe it to the same cause that has made you so? |
| 18508 | If he could regain this house, might I not procure him a physician and perform for him the part of nurse? |
| 18508 | If she be not, whither has she gone? |
| 18508 | If so, what is to be the fate of the money? |
| 18508 | If such were the fate of the master of the family, abounding with money and friends, what could be hoped for the moneyless and friendless Wallace? |
| 18508 | If their treatment has been just, why should I detract from their merit? |
| 18508 | If they receive their own, ought they not to be satisfied?" |
| 18508 | If your intentions had been honest, would you have suffered so long a time to elapse without doing this? |
| 18508 | In defiance of pestilence, are you actuated by some demon to haunt me, like the ghost of my offences, and cover me with shame? |
| 18508 | In what scene should I be exempt from servitude and drudgery? |
| 18508 | In what way are you capable of earning your bread?" |
| 18508 | Is any one within?" |
| 18508 | Is anybody sick?" |
| 18508 | Is he alive? |
| 18508 | Is he dead, or alive?" |
| 18508 | Is he in calamity?" |
| 18508 | Is he near? |
| 18508 | Is he well? |
| 18508 | Is her being Welbeck''s prostitute no proof of her guilt?" |
| 18508 | Is it entire? |
| 18508 | Is it him thee wants? |
| 18508 | Is it not possible to see her?" |
| 18508 | Is it so?" |
| 18508 | Is it worth while to be a dissembler and impostor? |
| 18508 | Is not guilt imputable to an action like this? |
| 18508 | Is she here? |
| 18508 | Is she rich?" |
| 18508 | Is there any deficiency?" |
| 18508 | Is there any thing arduous or mysterious in this undertaking? |
| 18508 | Is there no means of evading your pursuit? |
| 18508 | Is this a place fit to parley with you? |
| 18508 | It is to be presumed that they were bought or stolen, for how else should they have been gotten?" |
| 18508 | It is twilight still; is it not?" |
| 18508 | It was just to restore these bills to their true owner; but how could this be done without hazardous processes and tedious disclosures? |
| 18508 | It was no crime to be without a home; but how should I supply my present cravings and the cravings of to- morrow? |
| 18508 | It was plain that she conceived herself deeply injured by my conduct; and was it absolutely certain that her anger was without reason? |
| 18508 | It was requisite to cross it in order to reach that part of the country whither I was desirous of going; but how should I effect my passage? |
| 18508 | Kindred? |
| 18508 | Know you not that to assist or connive at the escape of this man was wrong? |
| 18508 | Leave the gate without a blessing on your counsellor?'' |
| 18508 | Let it be as I wish, will you? |
| 18508 | Look there,''( offering the stocking to my inspection:)''is it not well done?'' |
| 18508 | May I not accompany you in your journeys and studies, as one friend accompanies another? |
| 18508 | May I not see you, and talk with you, without being your wife? |
| 18508 | May I not share your knowledge, relieve your cares, and enjoy your confidence, as a sister might do? |
| 18508 | May I not, in this respect, conform to their example, and enjoy a similar exemption? |
| 18508 | May I venture to request of you, sir, the loan of sixpence? |
| 18508 | May_ this_ be my heart''s last beat, if I can tell why? |
| 18508 | Meanwhile, how was I to proceed? |
| 18508 | Might I not gain the knowledge of beings whose virtue was the gift of experience and the growth of knowledge? |
| 18508 | Might I not inquire, at one of these, respecting the condition of Thetford''s family? |
| 18508 | Might I not state her situation in a letter to this lady, and urge irresistible pleas for the extension of her kindness to this object? |
| 18508 | Might I not take some measures for obtaining possession, or at least for the security, of these articles? |
| 18508 | Might not a servant, left to take care of the house, a measure usually adopted by the opulent at this time, be seized by the reigning malady? |
| 18508 | Might not contraband articles have been admitted through the management or under the connivance of the brothers? |
| 18508 | Might not these be illustrious fugitives from Provence or the Milanese? |
| 18508 | Might she not easily be accommodated as a boarder in the city, or some village, or in a remote quarter of the country? |
| 18508 | Miss Hetty or Miss Sally? |
| 18508 | Must I dip my hands, a second time, in blood; and dig for you a grave by the side of Watson?" |
| 18508 | Must she then perish? |
| 18508 | My anxiety to know the truth gave pathos and energy to my tones while I spoke:--"Who, where, what are you? |
| 18508 | My curiosity impelled me to call,--"Is there any one within? |
| 18508 | My knowledge will be useless to the world; for by what motives can I be influenced to publish the truth? |
| 18508 | My principles were true; my motives were pure: why should I scruple to avow my principles and vindicate my actions? |
| 18508 | Next to_ Signora Lodi_, whose right can be put in competition with mine? |
| 18508 | No conclusion could be more plausible than that which Williams had drawn; but how should it be rendered certain? |
| 18508 | Not tell where? |
| 18508 | Now could I repeat every word of every conversation that has since taken place between us; but why should I do that on paper? |
| 18508 | Of his mistreatment of his mother, and his elopement with his father''s horse and money?" |
| 18508 | On such a question you and I might, perhaps, easily decide in favour of my brother; but would there not be some danger of deciding partially? |
| 18508 | On what terms will you live with me?" |
| 18508 | Once more I spoke:--"Who is within? |
| 18508 | Perhaps, indeed, thou hast kindred or friends who will take care of thee?" |
| 18508 | Possibly the act of locking had been unnoticed; but was it not likewise possible that this person had been mistaken? |
| 18508 | Pray, did you never knit a stocking?'' |
| 18508 | Presently the same voice was again heard:--"What is it you want? |
| 18508 | Recovering, at length, she said, with a sigh,"What if my father had made no will?" |
| 18508 | Riches, therefore, were his; but in what did his opulence consist, and whence did it arise? |
| 18508 | Said she not that he was in prison and was sick? |
| 18508 | Say you that the child is dead?" |
| 18508 | Shall I call upon him?" |
| 18508 | Shall I describe my thoughts? |
| 18508 | Shall I do this? |
| 18508 | Shall I hie thither to- day, this very hour-- now? |
| 18508 | Shall I not visit and endeavour to console thee in thy distress? |
| 18508 | Shall not something be done to rescue her from infamy and guilt?" |
| 18508 | She burnt the will, did she, because I was named in it,--and sent you to tell me so? |
| 18508 | She could not tell; she believed-- she thought-- which did I want? |
| 18508 | She looked at me, at my entrance, with great eagerness, and said, in a sharp tone,"Pray, friend, what is it you want with me? |
| 18508 | She put her hand on my arm, and said, in a fluttering and hurried accent,"Is my brother sick?" |
| 18508 | She spoke first, and in a startled and anxious voice:--"Who is that?" |
| 18508 | She then inquired,"When and where was it that he died? |
| 18508 | She thought proper, however, to assume the air of one offended, and, looking sternly,--"How now, fellow,"said she,"what is this? |
| 18508 | She who has not been_ only_ a wife----"But why am I indulging this pen- prattle? |
| 18508 | Should I be justified in driving him, by my obstinate refusal, to this fatal consummation of his crimes? |
| 18508 | Should I immure myself in this closet? |
| 18508 | Should I leave her utterly forlorn and friendless? |
| 18508 | Should I leave these persons in uncertainty respecting the fate of a husband and a brother? |
| 18508 | Should I not be arrested as a thief, and conveyed to prison? |
| 18508 | Should I not claim the assistance of the first passenger that appeared? |
| 18508 | Should I not return softly to the outer door, and summon the servant by knocking? |
| 18508 | Should I not withdraw the curtain, awake the person, and encounter at once all the consequences of my situation? |
| 18508 | Should my conductor have disappeared, by design or by accident, and some one of the family should find me here, what would be the consequence? |
| 18508 | Should she be willing to leave this house, whither is it in my power to conduct her? |
| 18508 | Since the door was locked, and there was no other avenue, what other statement but the true one would account for my being found there? |
| 18508 | Still, though it were a female, would not less injury be done by gently interrupting her slumber? |
| 18508 | Such things often happen( do n''t they, Arthur?) |
| 18508 | Suppose I had met the person on his first entrance into his chamber? |
| 18508 | Suppose I should enter Mrs. Villars''s house, desire to be introduced to the lady, accost her with affectionate simplicity, and tell her the truth? |
| 18508 | Talked she not of Welbeck? |
| 18508 | Terrified by phantoms and stained with blood, shall I not exhibit the tokens of a maniac as well as an assassin? |
| 18508 | That I received from the hand of his assassin the letter which I afterwards transmitted to her? |
| 18508 | That I was a sort of witness to the murder of her husband? |
| 18508 | The question now occurred, with painful repetition, who and what was Welbeck? |
| 18508 | The question which others might ask, I have asked myself:--Was I not in love? |
| 18508 | Think you I shall ever meet with an exact copy of_ yourself_?" |
| 18508 | This event was precluded by loud knocks at the street door, and calls by some one on the pavement without, of--"Who is within? |
| 18508 | This motion, which was made by the husband, awaked his companion, who exclaimed,"What is the matter?" |
| 18508 | This was instantly performed; but what was next to be done? |
| 18508 | Thus did she tender me herself; and was not the gift to be received with eagerness and gratitude? |
| 18508 | To be the medium of her charity?" |
| 18508 | To have meditated all crimes, and to have perpetrated the worst? |
| 18508 | To her father''s property? |
| 18508 | To my question, Was Mrs. Maurice to be seen? |
| 18508 | To restore it to them is the obvious proceeding-- but how? |
| 18508 | To whom could I apply for protection or employment? |
| 18508 | To whom did that bundle belong? |
| 18508 | To whom ought these disclosures to be made? |
| 18508 | Tom is my brother, but who can be supposed to answer for a brother''s integrity? |
| 18508 | Villars?" |
| 18508 | Wallace is friendless and succourless; but can not I supply to him the place of protector and nurse? |
| 18508 | Was I not authorized, by my previous though slender intercourse, to seek her presence? |
| 18508 | Was I not in love? |
| 18508 | Was I sure to escape from the consequences of this deed? |
| 18508 | Was Mr. Capper expected to return hither in the morning? |
| 18508 | Was Mrs. Villars at home? |
| 18508 | Was he not one in whose place I would willingly have died? |
| 18508 | Was his imposture a jestful or a wicked one? |
| 18508 | Was his own death or was mine to attest the magnitude of his despair or the impetuosity of his vengeance? |
| 18508 | Was it a casual suggestion, or was there an actual resemblance between the strokes of the pencil which executed this portrait and that of Clavering? |
| 18508 | Was it he who died in that bed, and whose corpse has just been removed?" |
| 18508 | Was it my companion, or a stranger? |
| 18508 | Was it not possible for me to alleviate their pangs? |
| 18508 | Was it not possible that part of Lodi''s property might be enclosed within the leaves of this volume? |
| 18508 | Was it not sufficient to write him briefly these particulars, and leave him to profit by the knowledge? |
| 18508 | Was it possible for me to be mistaken? |
| 18508 | Was it right to act in this clandestine and mysterious manner? |
| 18508 | Was it the abruptness of this vision that thus confounded me? |
| 18508 | Was it yours?" |
| 18508 | Was my existence embellished with enjoyments that would justify my holding it, encumbered with hardships and immersed in obscurity? |
| 18508 | Was not some treachery designed? |
| 18508 | Was not the end disproportioned to the means? |
| 18508 | Was she connected in any way, by friendship or by consanguinity, with that unfortunate youth? |
| 18508 | Was she not the substitute of my lost mamma? |
| 18508 | Was she offended at my negligence? |
| 18508 | Was she sick and disabled from going, or had she changed her mind? |
| 18508 | Was the truth so utterly wild as not to have found credit? |
| 18508 | Was there any tribunal that would not acquit him on merely hearing his defence? |
| 18508 | Was there arrogance in believing my life a price too great to be given for his? |
| 18508 | Was this a confirmation of my first conjecture? |
| 18508 | Was this an act of such transcendent disinterestedness as to be incredible? |
| 18508 | Was this the woman with whom my reason enjoined me to blend my fate, without the power of dissolution? |
| 18508 | Were any of her daughters within? |
| 18508 | Were they not susceptible of two constructions? |
| 18508 | What am I to tell her? |
| 18508 | What brings you here?" |
| 18508 | What business have you here?" |
| 18508 | What but fiery indignation and unappeasable vengeance could lead him into my presence? |
| 18508 | What can I do to make you happier? |
| 18508 | What can I tell her of the Villars which she does not already know, or of which the knowledge will be useful? |
| 18508 | What carried them there?" |
| 18508 | What condition was ever parallel to mine? |
| 18508 | What conduct was incumbent upon me who possessed this knowledge? |
| 18508 | What could I fear from the arts of such a one? |
| 18508 | What did I design? |
| 18508 | What did I fear? |
| 18508 | What did I hope? |
| 18508 | What did I think ought to be done? |
| 18508 | What effects will my appearance produce on the spectator? |
| 18508 | What else has he been?" |
| 18508 | What end could be served by this behaviour? |
| 18508 | What excuse could I make for begging a breakfast with an inn at hand and silver in my pocket? |
| 18508 | What expedient could I honestly adopt to justify my absence, and what employments could I substitute for those precious hours hitherto devoted to her? |
| 18508 | What gentleman can have any thing to do with Polly?" |
| 18508 | What had I found? |
| 18508 | What has become of him? |
| 18508 | What has become of him?" |
| 18508 | What has happened? |
| 18508 | What has happened?" |
| 18508 | What have I to do with that dauntless yet guiltless front? |
| 18508 | What have you done?" |
| 18508 | What have you to say to me? |
| 18508 | What hindered me from pursuing the footsteps of Hadwin with all the expedition which my uneasiness, of brain and stomach, would allow? |
| 18508 | What impediments were there between me and liberty which I could not remove, and remove with so much caution as to escape notice? |
| 18508 | What inquiries shall be made of me? |
| 18508 | What is here?" |
| 18508 | What is his family?" |
| 18508 | What is it that brings you here at this hour? |
| 18508 | What is that? |
| 18508 | What is the difference, and whence comes it? |
| 18508 | What is the fate of Mr. Hadwin and of Wallace?" |
| 18508 | What is the league between you? |
| 18508 | What is the matter? |
| 18508 | What is your objection?" |
| 18508 | What mean you by a hint of this kind?" |
| 18508 | What more remains? |
| 18508 | What motive could incite me to bury myself in rustic obscurity? |
| 18508 | What motive, I asked, could induce a human being to inflict wanton injury? |
| 18508 | What now was the destiny that awaited the lost and friendless Mademoiselle Lodi? |
| 18508 | What perplexities, misunderstandings, and suspenses might not grow out of this uncertainty? |
| 18508 | What power does that give him?" |
| 18508 | What proof have I of that? |
| 18508 | What proposal, conducive to her comfort and her safety, could I make to her? |
| 18508 | What provision could I make against the evils that threatened her? |
| 18508 | What qualities were requisite in the governor of such an institution? |
| 18508 | What remained but to encounter or endure its consequences with unshrinking firmness? |
| 18508 | What service can I do for you? |
| 18508 | What shall I compare it to? |
| 18508 | What shall I say to her? |
| 18508 | What shall I say? |
| 18508 | What should I infer from this incident? |
| 18508 | What suspicions will she harbour? |
| 18508 | What then must I have felt, scorched and dazzled by the sun, sustained by hard boards, and borne for miles over a rugged pavement? |
| 18508 | What then? |
| 18508 | What then? |
| 18508 | What think you?" |
| 18508 | What tidings, what fearful tidings, do you bring?" |
| 18508 | What was I to think? |
| 18508 | What was his relation to this foreign lady? |
| 18508 | What was it that saved me from a like fate? |
| 18508 | What was next to be done? |
| 18508 | What was now to be done? |
| 18508 | What was the fate reserved for me? |
| 18508 | What was the service for which I was to be employed? |
| 18508 | What was there irksome or offensive in my present mode of life? |
| 18508 | What were the limits by which it was confined, and what its degree of permanence? |
| 18508 | What would you do?" |
| 18508 | What''s thee business? |
| 18508 | What, I asked, was the merchant''s name? |
| 18508 | What, he asked, had occurred to suggest this new plan? |
| 18508 | What-- pray tell me, what can I do?" |
| 18508 | When died she, and how, and where was she buried? |
| 18508 | When have you seen him?" |
| 18508 | When her situation and wants are ascertained, will you supply her wants? |
| 18508 | When shall I expect to meet you at home?" |
| 18508 | Whence come you?" |
| 18508 | Where do they abide?" |
| 18508 | Where does this letter you promised me stay all this while? |
| 18508 | Where is he? |
| 18508 | Where should I look for this man? |
| 18508 | Where was he born and educated? |
| 18508 | Where was she concealed? |
| 18508 | Where, I asked, had Wallace and his companion parted? |
| 18508 | Where? |
| 18508 | Who can avoid asking, Where have these papers been deposited all this while, and how came this person in possession of them?" |
| 18508 | Who can love you and serve you as well as I? |
| 18508 | Who is this girl? |
| 18508 | Who is this woman, and how can I serve her?" |
| 18508 | Who then, saucebox? |
| 18508 | Who was the nymph who had hovered for a moment in my sight? |
| 18508 | Who was there by whom such powerful claims to succour and protection could be urged as by this desolate girl? |
| 18508 | Who will open his house to the fugitive? |
| 18508 | Who wilt thou find to undertake the office? |
| 18508 | Who''s thee want?" |
| 18508 | Who, I asked, was the gentleman? |
| 18508 | Who, thought I, is this nabob who counts his dollars by half- millions, and on whom it seems as if some fraud was intended to be practised? |
| 18508 | Why am I called to this place? |
| 18508 | Why am I not alone? |
| 18508 | Why are you so much afraid to subject his innocence to this test? |
| 18508 | Why be anxious to smooth the way? |
| 18508 | Why come you hither?" |
| 18508 | Why did he continue in the study when Welbeck had departed? |
| 18508 | Why did you not inform me by letter of your arrival at Malverton, and of what occurred during your absence? |
| 18508 | Why do n''t you answer? |
| 18508 | Why do n''t you speak? |
| 18508 | Why do you ask? |
| 18508 | Why does he linger behind you? |
| 18508 | Why does he remain?" |
| 18508 | Why does she suspect me of artifice? |
| 18508 | Why does_ her_ name, particularly, make you thoughtful, disturbed, dejected? |
| 18508 | Why fluctuate, why linger, when so much good may be done, and no evil can possibly be incurred? |
| 18508 | Why had I suffered him to depart, and whither had he gone? |
| 18508 | Why have you not sought the owner and restored it to her? |
| 18508 | Why might not another be induced like me to hide himself in this desolate retreat? |
| 18508 | Why not go thither now? |
| 18508 | Why not hasten to the city, search out his abode, and ascertain whether he be living or dead? |
| 18508 | Why not seek her there, and rid myself at once of this agonizing suspense? |
| 18508 | Why not? |
| 18508 | Why shall I not anticipate their consent, and present myself to their embraces and their welcomes in her company?" |
| 18508 | Why should I hesitate a moment to annihilate so powerful a cause of error and guilt? |
| 18508 | Why should I not lay my soul open before my new friend? |
| 18508 | Why should I subject his frailty to this temptation? |
| 18508 | Why should I think ill of you for despising me, when I despise myself?" |
| 18508 | Why should I wait for her return? |
| 18508 | Why should I_ not_ be with you? |
| 18508 | Why should he be supposed to be insensible to my claims upon his kindness? |
| 18508 | Why should she complain? |
| 18508 | Why should we cross the river? |
| 18508 | Why should you risk your safety for the sake of one whom your kindness can not benefit, and who has nothing to give in return?" |
| 18508 | Why then should I scruple to lay down my life in the cause of virtue and humanity? |
| 18508 | Why this catching of the breath? |
| 18508 | Why this sobbing? |
| 18508 | Why will he not return?" |
| 18508 | Why will you deprive yourself of such a comforter and such an aid as I would be to you? |
| 18508 | Why, I asked, did she weep? |
| 18508 | Will I not appear to lose as well as himself? |
| 18508 | Will he return to me?" |
| 18508 | Will it not behoove me to cultivate all my virtues and eradicate all my defects? |
| 18508 | Will not this conjecture sufficiently account for it? |
| 18508 | Will she be a sister, a protectress, to Clemenza? |
| 18508 | Will you be, yourself, an example of beneficence? |
| 18508 | Will you exhort her to a deed of charity? |
| 18508 | Will you go with me to Welbeck?" |
| 18508 | Will you go?" |
| 18508 | Will you let me?" |
| 18508 | Will you let me?" |
| 18508 | Will you not disclose it to us? |
| 18508 | Will you pardon this intrusion, and condescend to grant me your attention?" |
| 18508 | Will you permit me to go on?" |
| 18508 | Will you rescue her from evils that may attend her continuance here?" |
| 18508 | Will you wonder that the design of entering this recess was insensibly formed? |
| 18508 | Will you, for money or for charity, allow him a place in your chaise, and set him down where I shall direct?" |
| 18508 | Will you?'' |
| 18508 | William Hadwin they knew to have been some time dead; but where were the girls, his daughters? |
| 18508 | With that foolishly- confiding and obsequious, yet erect and unconquerable, spirit? |
| 18508 | With what heart could I listen to his invectives? |
| 18508 | With what pretences, or appearances, or promises, she was won to compliance?" |
| 18508 | Without desiring me to be seated, or relaxing aught in her asperity of looks and tones,--"Pray, friend, how did you_ come by_ these papers?" |
| 18508 | Would I not have clasped that beloved shade? |
| 18508 | Would a stranger refuse to lend the pittance that I wanted? |
| 18508 | Would it benefit her reputation? |
| 18508 | Would it not molest and disquiet you to observe in her a passion for another?" |
| 18508 | Would it prove her love of independence?" |
| 18508 | Would not some benefit redound to her from beneficent and seasonable interposition? |
| 18508 | Would not this sum enable me to gather round me all the instruments of pleasure? |
| 18508 | Would not time unfold qualities in her which I did not at present suspect, and which would evince an incurable difference in our minds? |
| 18508 | Would she drop the subject at the point which it had now attained? |
| 18508 | Would they be found, I asked, in the upper room? |
| 18508 | Would this have been the case if the door were unlocked? |
| 18508 | Would you go to Baltimore?" |
| 18508 | Yet is not that a hasty decision? |
| 18508 | Yet why should I disturb them by inquiries so impertinent at this unseasonable hour? |
| 18508 | You are poor: are these impediments?" |
| 18508 | Your approbation is of some moment: do you approve of them or not?" |
| 18508 | and did I not pant after the irrevocable bounds, the boundless privileges, of wedlock? |
| 18508 | and ought they not to be precluded at any hazard to my own safety or good name? |
| 18508 | and what is your business?" |
| 18508 | and what, but a compact in iniquity, could bind together such men? |
| 18508 | and will not the same means which promote your improvement be likewise useful to me? |
| 18508 | and, from the same hands, the bills contained in his girdle? |
| 18508 | call you a thousand dollars competence?" |
| 18508 | continued Williams, suddenly recollecting himself;"have you claimed the reward promised to him who should restore these bills?" |
| 18508 | continued he, looking around him;"and whence comest thou?" |
| 18508 | continued he, looking up, and observing me standing a few paces distant, and listening to their discourse;"what''s wanted? |
| 18508 | dead? |
| 18508 | he exclaimed, in a transport of fury,"a''n''t I master of my own house? |
| 18508 | he had promised secrecy, and would, by no means, betray him? |
| 18508 | how wouldst thou have fared, if Heaven had not sent me to thy succour? |
| 18508 | let it be so, will you? |
| 18508 | or is my scene indebted for variety and change to my propensity to look into other people''s concerns, and to make their sorrows and their joys mine? |
| 18508 | said I,"what ails you? |
| 18508 | said I,( her eye, still averted, seemed to hold back the tear with difficulty, and she made a motion as if to rise,)"have I grieved you? |
| 18508 | said I;"do you mean that he is dead?" |
| 18508 | said I;"has all this miserable pageantry, this midnight wandering, and this ominous interview, been no more than--_a dream_?" |
| 18508 | said I;"of what moment can my opinions be to her?" |
| 18508 | said he, in a tone of disappointment,"you then saw the lady?" |
| 18508 | she exclaimed, with increasing vehemence;"where did you meet with him? |
| 18508 | she exclaimed,"are you Watson?" |
| 18508 | she repeated,"what brings you here?" |
| 18508 | was it a latent error in my moral constitution, which this new conjuncture drew forth into influence? |
| 18508 | what have I done? |
| 18508 | what have you done?" |
| 18508 | what mean you? |
| 18508 | what shall I do for thy relief? |
| 18508 | where are you?" |
| 18508 | who''s this that comes into other people''s houses without so much as saying''by your leave''? |
| 18508 | why deal in apologies, circuities, and innuendoes? |
| 18508 | why do n''t you do as I bid you?" |
| 18508 | why do you stay here?" |
| 18508 | will you compel me to call the gentlemen?" |
| 18508 | would you do thus? |
| 18508 | you come to tell me that she burnt the will, and is going to administer-- to what, I beseech you? |
